FORT MYERS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2019 / NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO) (the "Company"), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetics testing services, today announced third-quarter and nine-month results for the period ended September 30, 2019.

Douglas M. VanOort, the Company's Chairman and CEO, commented, "Our Company's third-quarter results were excellent. Our Clinical Services Division reported accelerating volume growth, and average revenue-per-test increased on a year-over-year basis for the fifth consecutive quarter. We also continued to drive efficiencies in our laboratory operations. Our Pharma Services Division reported record new business wins and our backlog of signed contracts is at an all-time high.

During the quarter, we made significant investments in research and development, including substantial upgrades to our next-generation sequencing offerings and capabilities. We also hired nearly 200 full-time employees to accommodate our growth and ensure that we maintain industry leading quality and service. Finally, we continued to make good progress with our integration of Genoptix and look forward to that work being substantially complete by the middle of next year.

We are pleased with our performance this year, are investing to expand our capabilities, and remain confident in our outlook for future growth."

Third-Quarter Results

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was $104.7 million, an increase of 51% over the same period in 2018. Clinical test volume(1) increased by 35% year over year. Average revenue per clinical test ("revenue per test") increased by 15% to $369, primarily due to the acquisition of Genoptix, and the impact of favorable test mix. Clinical Services revenue was $92.6 million resulting in a 56% increase over the third quarter of 2018. Pharma Services revenue was $12.1 million, which represented a 26% increase over the third quarter of 2018.

Gross profit improved by $18.5 million, or 57%, compared to the third quarter of 2018, to $50.8 million. Gross margin improved by approximately 180 basis points year-over-year to 48.6%. Gross margin improvement reflects the impact of volume growth, higher revenue per test, productivity gains, and cost efficiencies. Average cost of goods sold per clinical test ("cost per test") increased by 12% year over year, reflecting the impact of the Genoptix acquisition, partially offset by continued efficiencies.

Operating expenses increased by $18.8 million, or 66%, compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to the Genoptix acquisition, investments in research and development, and growth initiatives.

Net income for the quarter was $2.1 million compared to net income of $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $14.9 million for the quarter, a 32% improvement from the prior year. Adjusted Net Income(2) was $7.5 million compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2018.

Cash and cash equivalents were $178.9 million at the end of the third quarter, primarily reflecting the proceeds from the equity offering that occurred in the second quarter of 2019 as well as strong cash flow in the third quarter. Days sales outstanding ("DSO") decreased 1 day to 80 days when compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with GAAP and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that the presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company's core operating results and comparison of core operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the Company's business. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not present the full measure of the Company's recorded costs against its net revenue. In addition, the Company's definition of the non-GAAP financial measures below may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined by NeoGenomics as net income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (v) acquisition and integration related expenses, (vi) non-cash impairments of intangible assets, (vii) debt financing costs, (viii) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income

"Adjusted Net Income" is defined by NeoGenomics as net income available to common shareholders from continuing operations plus: (i) non-cash amortization of customer lists and other intangible assets, (ii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (iii) non-cash deemed dividends on preferred stock, (iv) non-cash amortization of preferred stock beneficial conversion feature, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (v) acquisition and integration related expenses, (vi) non-cash impairments of intangible assets, (vii) debt financing costs, (viii) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS

"Adjusted Diluted EPS" is defined by NeoGenomics as adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted shares outstanding is the sum of diluted shares outstanding and the weighted average number of common shares that would be outstanding if the preferred stock were converted into common stock on the original issue date based on the number of days such common shares would have been outstanding in the reporting period. In addition, if GAAP net income is negative and adjusted net income is positive, adjusted diluted shares will also include any options or warrants that would be outstanding as dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance to Corresponding GAAP Measures

"Net income (GAAP)" in 2019 will be impacted by certain charges, including: (i) expense related to the amortization of customer lists and other intangibles, (ii) non-cash stock based compensation (iii) acquisition and integration related expenses and non-recurring charges, (iv) other one-time charges. These charges have been included in GAAP net income available to common shareholders and GAAP net income per share; however, they have been removed from "Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)" and "Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP)."

The following table reconciles our 2019 outlook for net income and EPS to the corresponding non-GAAP measures of "Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)", "Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)" and "Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP)" (in thousands except per share amounts):
