Third Quarter 2022 Results: Revenue of $105.7 million, versus $227.9 million in Q3 2021 Billable tests delivered 952,000, versus 2.2 million in Q3 2021 Core Revenue1 grew 110% year-over-year to $56.0 million GAAP income of $1.7 million, or $0.06 per share Non-GAAP income of $9.8 million, or $0.32 per share Adjusted EBITDA of $19.7 million Cash from operations of $20.8 million Cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities of $918.0 million as of September 30, 2022 Note: 1) Core Revenue excludes revenue from COVID-19 testing products and services, including COVID-19 NGS testing revenue. Non-GAAP income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA are described below under “Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, GAAP income (loss), in the accompanying tables. Ming Hsieh, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased with the trajectory of the business as we focus on our long-term strategy and begin to realize my vision to expand our footprint across the genomic testing and therapeutics landscape. With our diversification into oncology and pathology added to our robust test menus for pediatric genetics, reproductive health, hereditary cancer, neurological conditions and more, we have created one of the largest test menus in our industry. We are committed to fueling growth in our diagnostics business through organic and strategic investments.” Paul Kim, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Our third quarter results came in as expected with our core business doubling year-over-year. As COVID-19 testing winds down, we see momentum building in our core business with the integration of Inform Diagnostics. While we are experiencing some pressure on results in the fourth quarter, we view it as transitory and believe our foundational technology platform supports a strong revenue and margin pro the years ahead.” Outlook: For the fourth quarter of 2022, Fulgent Genetics expects: Total Revenue of approximately $60 million Core Revenue of approximately $52 million, representing growth of 86% year-over-year For the full year 2022, Fulgent Genetics expects: Total Revenue of approximately $611 million Core Revenue of approximately $178 million Non-GAAP income of approximately $5.60 per share Fulgent has not reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP income per share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because certain items are out of Fulgent’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP income per share is not available without unreasonable effort. Conference Call Information Fulgent Genetics will host a conference call for the investment community today at 4:30 PM ET (1:30 PM PT) to discuss its third quarter 2022 results. Press and industry analysts are invited to attend in listen-only mode. The call may be accessed through a live audio webcast on the Investor Relations section of the company’s website, An audio replay will be available at the same location. Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain information set forth in this press release, including non-GAAP income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share, and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Fulgent Genetics believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the performance of the Company’s business, excluding certain income or expense items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company’s operating results. Fulgent Genetics defines non-GAAP income (loss) as net income (loss) calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, plus amortization of intangible assets, plus restructuring costs, plus acquisition-related costs, including banking fees and legal fees associated with the recent acquisition, plus equity-based compensation expense, plus or minus the non-GAAP tax effect, and plus or minus other charges or gains, as identified, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s operations. The non-GAAP tax effect is calculated by applying the statutory corporate tax rate on the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, and equity-based compensation expense. Fulgent Genetics defines adjusted EBITDA as GAAP income (loss) plus or minus interest (expense) income, plus or minus provisions (benefits) for income taxes, plus restructuring costs, plus acquisition-related costs, plus equity-based compensation expense, plus depreciation and amortization, and plus or minus other charges or gains, as identified, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s operations. Fulgent Genetics may continue to incur expenses similar to the items added to or subtracted from GAAP income (loss) to calculate non-GAAP income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA; accordingly, the exclusion of these items in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an implication that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) in evaluating the Company's operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in conformity with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by Fulgent Genetics may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics reported by other companies.
