2018 Financial Outlook

The company is confirming guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2018 under ASC 606 revenue recognition standards:

Recent Business Highlights

• Results from the landmark ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group TAILORx study were published in The New England Journal of Medicine and presented in the Plenary Session at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Results demonstrated that the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test identified 70 percent of early-stage breast cancer patients who receive no benefit from chemotherapy and can be effectively treated with endocrine therapy alone. Additionally, the trial established that chemotherapy may provide life-saving benefit to 30 percent of patients.
• Following the TAILORx study publication, the U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) confirmed that it has requested that the External Assessment Group (EAG) review the results before finalizing its updated guidance on tumor profiling tests, and the German Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) commissioned the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) to evaluate the new evidence before making a final coverage decision in Germany.
• Established public coverage with the province of New Brunswick for the use of the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test in early-stage breast cancer patients with node-negative disease, increasing the total number of covered lives in Canada to more than 35 million. With this decision, all 10 provinces in Canada now cover the test.
• Multiple private insurers, including a top five national payor, established new coverage for the Oncotype DX GPS test, bringing the total number of U.S. covered lives to more than 92 million, including Medicare.
• Results from two studies demonstrating the positive impact of the Oncotype DX GPS test on risk assessment for better treatment decisions in clinically low-risk prostate cancer patients in real-world practice were presented at the 2018 American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting.
• JAMA Oncology published a study that demonstrated that the Oncotype DX AR-V7 Nucleus Detect™ test can identify patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who may live longer if they switch from targeted androgen receptor-signaling inhibitor (ARSi) therapy, such as enzalutamide and abiraterone, to taxane-based chemotherapy.
• The company discontinued its early-stage development of the IsoPSA assay and terminated its milestone-based licensing agreement with Cleveland Diagnostics.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
The company makes reference in this press release to "non-GAAP operating income (loss)," which excludes 2018 expenses resulting from the restructuring charges for the cessation of the Oncotype SEQ^® Liquid Select™ test product development and commercialization activities in the first quarter of 2018, the expenses for a milestone payment to Biocartis N.V., and the cessation of its collaboration with Cleveland Diagnostics in the second quarter of 2018. Additionally, the company references "non-GAAP net income (loss)," which also excludes fair value adjustments related to its collaborations with Biocartis, Epic Sciences and Cleveland Diagnostics in the first and second quarters of 2018, and the gain on sale of marketable equity securities in the first quarter of 2017. The company believes that excluding these items and their related tax effects from its financial results reflects operating results that are more indicative of the company's ongoing operating performance while improving comparability to prior periods, and, as such, may provide investors with an enhanced understanding of the company's past financial performance and prospects for the future. The company also considers the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on its global business as described in the constant currency table accompanying this press release. The company's management uses such non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and assess its core operations and to make ongoing operating decisions. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income (loss) from operations or net income (loss) information prepared in accordance with GAAP. An explanation and reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this press release.
