2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (filed on February 28, 2025).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information includes only adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or the results for any future periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025.

Liquidity Matters

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception and anticipates net losses for the near future. The Company had a net loss of $167.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and an accumulated deficit of $2.7 billion as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, $16.0 million in marketable securities, and an $80.3 million outstanding balance on its Credit Line (as defined in Note 10, Debt) including accrued interest. The Company is required to maintain a minimum of at least $150.0 million in its UBS accounts as collateral for its Credit Line, which is classified as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $20.0 million remaining and available on its Credit Line.

While the Company has introduced multiple products that are generating revenues, these revenues have not been sufficient to fund all operations and business plans. Accordingly, the Company has funded the portion of operating costs that exceeds revenues through a combination of equity issuances, debt issuances, and other financings.

The Company continues to invest in the development and commercialization of its existing and future products and, consequently, it will need to generate additional revenues to achieve future profitability and may need to raise additional equity or debt financing. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders will experience dilution. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting its operations or its ability to incur additional debt. Any additional debt financing or additional equity that the Company raises may contain terms that are not favorable to it or its stockholders and requires significant debt service payments, which diverts resources from other activities. Additional financing may not be available when necessary, or in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it may be required to delay or slow its investment in the development and commercialization of its products and significantly scale back its business and operations.

On July 19, 2024, the Company announced its decision to redeem all of its outstanding 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) due 2027. The redemption was completed on October 11, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption price for the Convertible Notes equaled 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Company elected physical settlement with shares of its common stock as the settlement method to apply to all conversions of the Convertible Notes. On the Redemption Date, $287.4 million of Convertible Notes were redeemed for approximately 7.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock under the terms of the redemption notice. The remaining Convertible Notes not redeemed under the redemption notice were converted in exchange for cash at face value plus accrued interest totaling $0.1 million. As such, the Company’s redemption of its Convertible Notes did not have a material effect on its liquidity.

Based on the Company’s current business plan, the Company believes that its existing cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least 12 months after August 7, 2025.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates include stock-based compensation, and the expected consideration (average selling price) to be received from contracts with customers, insurance payors, and patients. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical experience and other factors, including contractual terms and statutory limits; however, actual results could differ from these estimates and could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

Investments

Investments consist primarily of debt securities such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agency and municipal bonds. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. The Company generally classifies its entire investment portfolio as available-for-sale. The Company views its available-for-sale portfolio as available for use in current operations. Accordingly, the Company classifies all investments as short-term, irrespective of maturity date. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The Company classifies its investments as Level 1 or 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. The Company holds Level 2 securities which are initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued by a third-party service provider using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as yield curve, volatility factors, credit spreads, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments or debt, broker and dealer quotes, as well as other relevant economic measures. The Company performs certain procedures to corroborate the fair value of these holdings. The Company also holds warrants issued by MyOme which are classified as Level 3 investments because the valuation methods include certain unobservable inputs. These warrants are accounted for as derivatives and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Available-for-sale debt securities. The amended guidance from Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”) requires the measurement of expected credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities held at the reporting date over the remaining life based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company evaluated its investment portfolio under the available-for-sale debt securities impairment model guidance and determined the Company’s investment portfolio is composed of low-risk, investment grade securities and thus has not recorded an expected credit loss for its investment portfolio. Further, gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were not material at June 30, 2025.

Accounts Receivable, net of allowance

Trade accounts receivable and other receivables. The allowance for expected credit losses for trade accounts receivable is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of accounts related to its clinics and laboratory partner customers. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. See Note 6, Balance Sheet Components, for a roll-forward of the allowance for expected credit losses related to trade accounts receivable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

With respect to revenue recognized related to genetic test services provided to patient customers whereby consideration is expected to be received from insurance or patient payors, the Company recognizes a constraint to the estimated variable consideration such that it is not probable that a significant revenue reversal will occur. When assessing the total consideration expected to be received from insurance carriers and patients, a certain percentage of revenues is further constrained for estimated refunds. After applying the ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASC 606”) constraint, the Company assessed for credit losses under ASC 326 and determined an incremental credit loss was not needed given the quality of the insurance payors from whom such receivables are expected to be collectible and the relatively short duration over which the majority of receivables are collected. Accordingly, the Company currently does not have an incremental credit loss reserve nor allowance for expected credit losses against accounts receivable for insurance and patient payors due to the average selling price calculations, which incorporate these risks as net receivables are recorded.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists entirely of supplies, which are consumed at the point biologic samples are collected and the Company provides genetic testing services; therefore, the Company does not maintain any work-in-process or finished goods inventory. The Company enters into inventory purchases commitments so that it can meet future delivery schedules based on forecasted demand for its tests.

The Company analyzes its inventory to determine whether the composition of its inventory is obsolete, slow-moving or unsalable. A write down of specifically identified unusable, or obsolete inventory in the period is recognized by considering product expiration dates and scrapped inventory. Any write-down of inventory to net realizable value establishes a new cost basis and will be maintained even if certain circumstances suggest the inventory is recoverable in subsequent periods. Costs associated with the write-down of inventory are recorded to cost of revenue on our consolidated statements of operations.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive loss and its components encompass all changes in equity other than those with stockholders, and include net loss, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

The change in net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities is due to the impact of changes in interest rates on the value of fixed-rate investments and not due to any credit deterioration. Further, due to the short-term nature of these investments, the Company has the ability and intention to hold any such investments until maturity and does not expect to realize any material investment losses. As such, the Company has assessed the unrealized loss position for available-for-sale securities and determined that an allowance for credit loss was not necessary.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under, ASC 606, using the following five step process:

Identification of a contract, or contracts, with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Revenue recognition when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company uses the expected value amount method of estimating variable consideration. The total consideration which the Company expects to collect in exchange for the Company’s products is an estimate and may be fixed or variable, and is primarily based on historical cash collections for tests delivered, as adjusted for current expectations. Current expectations of cash collections factor in changes in reimbursement rate trends, past events not expected to recur, and future known changes such as anticipated contractual pricing changes or changes to insurance coverage.  For insurance carriers and product types with similar reimbursement characteristics, the Company uses a portfolio approach to estimate variable consideration. When assessing the total variable consideration expected to be received from insurance carriers and patients, the Company considers both the magnitude and likelihood of a revenue reversal in the determination of the percentage of revenues to further constrain for estimated refunds.

See Note 3, Revenue Recognition, for detailed discussions of product revenues, licensing and other revenues, and how the five steps described above are applied.

Fair Value

The Company discloses the fair value of financial instruments for financial assets and liabilities for which the value is practicable to estimate. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).

Related Party Transactions

On December 6, 2021, the Company participated along with certain other investors in the series B financing of MyOme, Inc. (“MyOme”) and purchased preferred shares and warrants in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $4.0 million which was allocated $2.2 million for preferred shares and $1.8 million for warrants. In August 2024, the Company participated in a subsequent round of the series B financing and purchased an additional $2.7 million of series B preferred shares at the same valuation as the initial round of financing in December 2021. The Company does not hold a seat on MyOme’s board of directors and does not participate or direct the day-to-day activities of MyOme. Because MyOme is a privately-held company without readily determinable fair values, the Company elected to account for its preferred Series B share investment in MyOme using the measurement alternative, which is cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes in fair value resulting from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer as of the respective transaction dates. When indicators exist and the estimated fair value of the investment is below its carrying amount, the Company would adjust the investment to fair value. The change in carrying value, resulting from the remeasurements, would be recognized in interest and other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The following are the Company’s related persons and the basis of each such related person’s relationship with MyOme:

Matthew Rabinowitz, the Company’s executive chairman and co-founder, is the chairman of the board and founder of MyOme, and a beneficial holder of approximately 22.6% of the outstanding shares of MyOme on a fully dilutive basis;

Jonathan Sheena, the Company’s co-founder and a member of the Company’s board of directors, is a stockholder and a member of the board of directors of MyOme;

Daniel Rabinowitz, the Company’s Secretary and Chief Legal Officer, is a stockholder of MyOme; and

Roelof Botha, the Lead Independent Director of the Company’s board of directors, is a managing member of Sequoia Capital. Certain funds affiliated with Sequoia Capital also participated in MyOme’s series B financing.

None of the related party investments in MyOme by our executives and directors noted above were at the behest of the Company nor funded by the Company.

In February 2024, the Company entered into a collaboration and commercialization agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with MyOme pursuant to which the parties agreed to partner to offer certain genetic testing services to be developed and funded solely by MyOme and overseen by a joint steering committee. The Company agreed to assist MyOme with commercial activities. In connection with the Collaboration Agreement, the Company received a 10-year warrant to purchase 3,058,485 shares of MyOme's common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, which is exercisable in whole or in part, commencing in February 2024, and can be converted to MyOme’s common stock upon the occurrence of MyOme’s initial public offering or a liquidation event (as such terms are defined in MyOme's certificate of incorporation). Additionally, upon the achievement of certain product commercialization milestones, the Company is eligible to receive an additional warrant exercisable for 2,080,565 shares of MyOme’s series B preferred stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share. During September 2024, the Company achieved certain product commercialization milestones such that the warrant for 2,080,565 shares of MyOme’s series B preferred stock was due from MyOme to the Company. These warrants were granted and issued by MyOme to the Company during the fourth quarter of 2024, and were exercisable in whole or in part in December 2024. However, the Company needs to perform ongoing collaboration in exchange for the warrant consideration. Accordingly, the warrants have been included within other assets and allocated between short-term and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is amortizing the liability as a reduction of selling and marketing expense upon commercialization and sale of the products contemplated under the Collaboration Agreement over the life of the contract. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the amortization of the non-cash liability was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

The warrants issued to the Company in 2021 and 2024 are accounted for as derivative instruments and recorded within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model as of each reporting period, including the date of issuance. Subject to the Company's achievement of certain commercialization milestones, the Company may receive additional warrants to purchase MyOme’s series B preferred stock. To the extent the genetic testing services are successfully commercialized, the Company will owe certain royalty payments to MyOme. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the royalties to MyOme were not material. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s carrying amount of preferred shares in MyOme was $6.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, on its consolidated balance sheets. The fair market value of the warrants as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $12.7 million and $11.2 million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Risk and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, accounts receivable and investments. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash in financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Company's cash may consist of deposits held with banks that may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company performs evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, there were no customers exceeding 10% of total revenues on an individual basis. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no customers with an outstanding balance exceeding 10% of net accounts receivable. 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 14.1% and 10.3%, respectively, of total revenue were paid by Medicare on behalf of multiple customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 14.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of total revenue were paid by Medicare on behalf of multiple customers. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately 12.5% and 11.5%, respectively, of accounts receivable are expected to be paid by Medicare on behalf of multiple customers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) under its accounting standard codifications or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“Topic 848”) was issued which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. ASU 2022-06, or Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Adoption of this standard occurred on January 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, was issued, which requires enhanced disclosures in connection with an entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) was issued, which requires disaggregation of any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement for certain expense categories. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, was issued, which introduces a practical expedient to calculating current expected credit loss by assuming that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
