2017 Financial Outlook

The company is providing the following adjusted financial guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2017:

• Total revenue of between $345 to $355 million (formerly $355 to $370 million); and
• Profit for the full-year at either end of revenue range (formerly profit at revenue above $362.5 million).

"While the timing of important reimbursement drivers has delayed the pace of revenue growth, we expect to deliver full-year profitability at these revised revenue levels, including double-digit revenue growth in the fourth quarter," said Brad Cole, chief operating officer and chief financial officer of Genomic Health. "We expect full-year CMS intermediate prostate coverage and the implementation of both PAMA reimbursement rates and AJCC staging criteria, along with increased global market penetration, to drive strong revenue growth in 2018."

Recent Business Highlights

• Presented new results from a large, community-based, multi-center clinical validation study conducted at Kaiser Permanente at the American Urological Association (AUA) 2017 Annual Meeting. The results confirmed that the Oncotype DX GPS test is a strong independent predictor of prostate cancer-specific death and disease progression (metastases) at 10 years in men with localized prostate cancer.
• Data from two Oncotype DX GPS test analyses based on a prospective, multi-center, 1,200-patient study were also presented at AUA, including results that represent the first-ever prospective validation of a tissue-based molecular marker in prostate cancer. The second analysis, presented at AUA and published online in Urology, reinforced that the GPS test significantly increases use of and persistence on active surveillance.
• Initiated an early access Clinical Utility Program for select centers around the country in preparation for the commercial launch of the Oncotype DX AR-V7 Nucleus Detect™ test in collaboration with Epic Sciences.
• The 15th St. Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference Expert Panel published updated guidelines endorsing the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test for guiding treatment decisions on adjuvant chemotherapy in both node-negative and node-positive patients (up to three nodes).
• Breast Cancer Research and Treatment published positive five-year clinical outcomes results from the PlanB study led by the West German Study Group (WSG) in 93 centers across Germany. The study showed that women with Recurrence Score^® results of 11 or less who were treated with hormonal therapy alone had excellent outcomes with 94 percent disease-free survival rates at five years despite having high-risk disease by traditional parameters.
• Presented results from eight studies across breast, prostate and kidney cancers that provide additional evidence of the value of Oncotype DX tests in predicting clinically meaningful endpoints and outcomes across cancer types at the 2017 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.
