Third-Quarter 2020 Results and Highlights:

• Consolidated revenue increased 20% to $125 million

• Clinical Services revenue increased 17% to $109 million

• Pharma Services revenue increased 38% to $17 million

• Pharma Services backlog increased 57% to $185 million

FORT MYERS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2020 / NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO) (the "Company"), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetics testing services, today announced its third-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2020.

"Third quarter results were strong as we bounced back nicely from a challenging second quarter and set new company records for quarterly consolidated revenue and pharma services revenue and backlog. Importantly, test volume in our core clinical⁽¹⁾ oncology business continued to trend higher on what looks to be a V-Shaped recovery and the majority of our pharma clients' clinical trial sites are now open," said Douglas M. VanOort, Chairman and CEO of NeoGenomics.

We have continued to make strategic investments, even in the midst of the pandemic, to put us in a stronger position for growth. We are particularly excited about our investments in global Pharma Services, Informatics, strategic marketing initiatives, liquid biopsy, including our investment in Inivata, certain research and development priorities, and the on-going construction of our new state-of-the-art laboratory and global headquarters in Fort Myers.

Even in this uncertain and challenging operating environment, the dedication of NeoGenomics' employees has been extraordinary as we have stayed laser-focused on patient care."

Third-Quarter Results
Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $125 million, an increase of 20% over the same period in 2019. Clinical Services revenue increased year-over-year by 17% to $109 million, primarily driven by COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction ("PCR") testing revenue of $17 million. Clinical testing volume⁽¹⁾ grew 2% year-over-year and improved month-to-month as the quarter progressed. Average revenue per clinical test ("revenue per test") decreased by less than 3% to $359. Pharma Services revenue grew by 38% to $17 million compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to an increase in revenue related to clinical trials.

Gross profit was $54.1 million, an increase of 6.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. This increase was the result of higher test volume.

Operating expenses increased by $2 million, or 5%, compared to the third quarter of 2019, reflecting investments in informatics, growth initiatives and costs associated with the integration of HLI - Oncology.

Net income for the quarter was $3 million compared to net income of $2 million for the third quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ was $17 million compared to $15 million in the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted Net Income ⁽²⁾ was $7 million compared $8 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, was $265 million and short-term marketable securities were $50 million. Days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 76 days at the end of the third quarter of 2020.

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 (loss) 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) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses, including any debt financing costs.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income
"Adjusted Net Income" is defined by NeoGenomics as net income (loss) from continuing operations plus: (i) non-cash amortization of customer lists and other intangible assets, (ii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (iii) acquisition and integration related expenses, (iv) non-cash impairments of intangible assets, (v) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses, including any debt financing costs. In addition, if GAAP net income is negative and adjusted net income is positive, adjusted diluted net income (loss) will also be adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts) on the convertible notes using the if-converted method.

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 convertible notes 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.
