Investment Profile Nasdaq: NEO

The Market and Competitive Landscape

The field of genetic testing is dominated by a few large public companies that have recently consolidated numerous smaller players in the industry. There are roughly 300 genetic laboratories in the U.S., 80% of which are attached to academic institutions focused on research and development.

Of the 60 commercial labs, 40 - 50 are small privately-run labs and only 10 -20 are large, national or regional labs. The two largest, Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp make up approximately 40% of the cancer genetics testing market. The company believes its superior turnaround times on oncology-related tests give it an important competitive advantage over other labs with significantly longer turnaround times.

In addition, NeoGenomics uses advanced testing algorithms, which often results in more than one test being ordered per sample submitted.

Both cytogenetics and molecular testing are important and highly-accurate diagnostic tools in the fight against cancer. New tests are now being developed rapidly and the market is expanding.

The Outlook

The company characterized its base business test volume in the first quarter of 2015 along with service levels and new account activities as very strong in the quarter.

The company again made excellent market share gains in its base business where test volumes grew 28% compared with last year’s first quarter. However an unusually harsh winter in the northern part of the country impacted growth in January and February.

The company said it was particularly pleased with the excellent progress in its many growth initiatives. The volume of molecular testing, fueled by next generation sequencing, increased by about 52% over last year and emerged as the company’s largest testing category by volume. The company said its approach to molecular testing using targeted profiles by disease category is more widely accepted as a cost effective way to

identify key genetic cancer drivers. Momentum was strong in clinical trials testing with more studies awarded in the quarter than all of last year.

The company stated its disappointment in an “extraordinary reduction” in reimbursement for FISH testing that reduced revenue in the quarter by $2.1 million with a corresponding impact on profit. The company said some large commercial insurers are now in the process of revising their FISH reimbursements upwards. The company said it is working to explain to all payers the importance of adequate reimbursement for FISH testing to ensure that cancer patients are properly diagnosed and treated. The company said its investment in growth through innovation continues with the development and commercialization of new tests.

Company Guidance

The company’s revenue guidance for 2015 is $103M to $108M. This includes an estimated $6M to $8M reduction in revenue as a result of billing the new AMA FISH CPT codes effective Jan. 1, 2015.

Company guidance is based on current organic growth and growth from the PathLogic acquisition. The company reserves the right to adjust this guidance at any time as a result of acquisitions or other strategic initiatives that it may undertake and/or based on the ongoing execution of its business plan.

Current and prospective investors are encouraged to perform their own due diligence before buying or selling any of the company’s securities, and are reminded that the foregoing estimates should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance.

(1)  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense
