Invitae : Reports $46.2 Million in Revenue Driven by More Than 120,000 Samples Accessioned in the Second Quarter of 2020

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Invitae Corporation (NYSE: NVTA), a leading medical genetics company, today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

"While we experienced significant disruptions in the healthcare system due to the pandemic, we quickly established a solid recovery during the quarter. Our results highlight the strength of our operations and the benefits of our diversified menu, investments in telehealth capabilities and longstanding customer relationships, all of which position us to adapt and meet the changing needs of our customers," said Sean George, Ph.D., co-founder and chief executive officer of Invitae. "We exited the quarter with a strong footing and increasing momentum. We remain confident in our ability to continue to deliver on our mission to bring genetic information into mainstream medicine."

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

• Accessioned more than 120,000 samples in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 111,000 samples in the second quarter of 2019. Billable volume exceeded 113,000 in the second quarter of 2020
• Generated revenue of $46.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $53.5 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2019
• Reported average cost per sample of $358 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $252 average cost per sample in the second quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP average cost per sample was $318 in the second quarter of 2020
• Achieved gross profit of $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $25.5 million of gross profit in the second quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP gross profit was $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2020

Total operating expense, excluding cost of revenue, for the second quarter of 2020 was $145.3 million. Non-GAAP operating expense was $105.7 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $166.4 million, or $1.29 net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $48.7 million in the second quarter of 2019, or $0.54 net loss per share. Non-GAAP net loss was $99.2 million, or $0.77 non-GAAP net loss per share, in the second quarter of 2020.

At June 30, 2020, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $428.5 million. Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the quarter was $78.0 million. Cash burn, including various acquisition-related expenses, was $89.2 million for the quarter and $63.8 million when excluding the $25.4 million cash paid to acquire YouScript and Genelex.

Early in the quarter, in response to impacts of the pandemic, the company took actions to significantly scale back operational expenditures. The result of these changes is expected to decrease the discretionary spend in cost of revenue and operating expense beginning in the third quarter.

"We continue to see a solid recovery in volume, improvement in our operating leverage and ability to improve revenue generation. As a result, we are well positioned with sufficient capital to execute our strategy in the coming years," continued Dr. George. "We have added or will be adding important capabilities to our platform through the acquisitions we announced this quarter and our ongoing product development efforts. With our mission clearly in focus, we can continue to navigate these unprecedented times."

Corporate and Scientific Highlights

• Introduced expanded services and support for transition to telehealth across customer types
• Launched new capabilities for Gia, the advanced clinical chatbot that became part of Invitae through the acquisition and rapid integration of Clear Genetics. New workflows added to Gia support obstetrician/gynecologists, oncologists, genetic counselors and other clinicians who order genetic testing
• Increased support for the use of at-home testing using saliva kits, which do not require an in-person clinician visit
• Provided professional education and support for clinicians transitioning to telehealth
• Acquired YouScript and Genelex to bring best-in-class pharmacogenetic testing and robust, integrated clinical decision support to Invitae
• Further expanded international footprint, including the introduction of consumer-initiated telehealth genetic testing services in Canada for carrier testing in early pregnancy and cancer and cardiovascular risk testing
• Presented research that, combined with new recommendations from a large, multidisciplinary consensus conference published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, underscores the utility of increased access to genetic testing for men with prostate cancer across all stages of life
• Added 16 new biopharma partnerships, bringing the total number of partnership programs to more than 105, including nine new pharma partners in Invitae's Detect programs providing no-charge genetic testing for conditions in which testing is underutilized and can improve diagnosis and treatment
• Entered into a definitive agreement under which Invitae will combine with ArcherDX, Inc.
• Closed on a public offering with net proceeds of approximately $173.0 million and raised $44.5 million of net proceeds under the company's ATM
• In July, added non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) based on whole genome sequencing (WGS) to the Invitae platform, providing patients with easier access to affordable genetic testing in early pregnancy to realize cost reductions, improve the company's ability to scale services and pave the way for additional services based on WGS technology
• Partnered with a major health system to integrate clinical decision support software for use of pharmacogenetics in patient care

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the company's belief that it is well-positioned to adapt and meet the changing needs of its customers; the company's belief regarding the momentum of its business and ability to continue to deliver on its mission to bring genetic information into mainstream medicine; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's business, and the measures it has taken or may take in the future with respect thereto; the impact of the company's acquisitions, including its proposed merger with ArcherDX, as well as its partnerships and product offerings; and the company's beliefs regarding the growth of its business, its position and impact on the genetic testing industry, its success in executing on its mission and strategy, and the benefits of genetic testing. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:  the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company, and the effectiveness of the efforts it has taken or may take in the future in response thereto; the company's ability to continue to grow its business, including internationally; the company's history of losses; the company's ability to compete; the company's failure to manage growth effectively; the company's need to scale its infrastructure in advance of demand for its tests and to increase demand for its tests; the risk that the company may not obtain or maintain sufficient levels of reimbursement for its tests; the ability of Invitae and ArcherDX to obtain the approval of Invitae's and ArcherDX's stockholders, and to satisfy the other conditions to the closing of the acquisition and related financing transactions on a timely basis or at all; the occurrence of events that may give rise to a right of one or both of Invitae and ArcherDX to terminate the merger agreement; the company's failure to successfully integrate or fully realize the anticipated benefits of acquired businesses; the company's ability to use rapidly changing genetic data to interpret test results accurately and consistently; security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions; laws and regulations applicable to the company's business; and the other risks set forth in the company's Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and Invitae Corporation disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Invitae's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the company is providing several non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP operating expense, including non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative and non-GAAP other income (expense), net, as well as non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share and non-GAAP cash burn. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating the company's ongoing operating results and trends.

Management is excluding from some or all of its non-GAAP operating results (1) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (2) acquisition-related stock-based compensation related to inducement grants, (3) post-combination expense related to the acceleration of equity grants or bonus payments in connection with the company's business combinations, (4) adjustments to the fair value of our acquisition-related liabilities and (5)  acquisition-related income tax benefits.  These non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on the reported financial results. Management accounts for this limitation by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in the company's public disclosures.

Cash burn excludes (1) changes in marketable securities, (2) cash received from equity financings and (3) cash received from exercises of warrants. Management believes cash burn is a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash consumed by the operations of the business. A limitation of using this non-GAAP measure is that cash burn does not represent the total change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for the period because it excludes cash provided by or used for other operating, investing or financing activities. Management accounts for this limitation by providing information about the company's operating, investing and financing activities in the statements of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements in the company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K and by presenting net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities as well as the net increase or decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in its reconciliation of cash burn.

In addition, other companies, including companies in the same industry, may not use the same non-GAAP measures or may calculate these metrics in a different manner than management or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP measures as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, the company's non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the non-GAAP reconciliations provided in the tables below.
