Recent Business Highlights

Clinical/Guidelines

    --  Results from a new analysis of TAILORx confirmed the original,
        definitive conclusions reported in 2018 with additional detail on
        clinical risk, focusing on patients with early-stage breast cancer age
        50 years or younger. These findings, published in The New England
        Journal of Medicine and presented at the 2019 ASCO Annual Meeting,
        showed that stratifying patients by clinical risk alone does not predict
        chemotherapy benefit.
    --  Updated American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines
        established TAILORx-defined cutoffs for determining chemotherapy benefit
        with the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test in node-negative
        breast cancer, increasing the proportion of women who can be spared
        unnecessary treatment based on the landmark TAILORx and NSABP B-20
        randomized clinical trials.
    --  Recently updated ESMO guidelines for early-stage breast cancer elevated
        the Breast Recurrence Score test to the highest 1A level of evidence
        based on the prospective TAILORx and PlanB studies.

Global Reimbursement

    --  On June 20, the German Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) issued an
        exclusive nationwide reimbursement decision for the Oncotype DX Breast
        Recurrence Score test. This decision follows the conclusion of the
        German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) that
        only the Oncotype DX test has sufficient evidence to guide breast cancer
        adjuvant chemotherapy decisions based on results from the landmark
        TAILORx study.
    --  On July 1, a three-year registry program started in Belgium to provide
        patients with funded access to the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score
        test in breast cancer reference centers throughout the country.
    --  Additional private insurers established new coverage for the Oncotype DX
        Genomic Prostate Score test, bringing the total number of U.S. covered
        lives to more than 116 million, including Medicare.
    --  Multiple private insurers established reimbursement for the Oncotype DX
        AR-V7 Nucleus Detect test, bringing the total number of U.S. covered
        lives to more than 75 million, including Medicare.
    --  Additional private insurers established reimbursement for the Oncotype
        DX Breast Recurrence Score test in patients with 1-3 positive nodes,
        bringing the total number of U.S. covered lives in this breast cancer
        population to more than 144 million, including Medicare.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

The company provides adjusted EBITDA and constant currency, which are non-GAAP financial measure, to supplement the financial information provided on a GAAP basis. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes items that are included in GAAP income (loss) from operations, and excludes stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization and their related tax effects. Constant currency is calculated by comparing the company's quarterly average foreign exchange rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The constant currency disclosures take current local currency revenue and translate it into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the local currency revenue for the applicable comparable period in the prior year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. Constant currency does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the company's results or business. The company believes that these non-GAAP measures reflect 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. In addition, the company's management uses such non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate and assess its core operations and to make ongoing operating decisions. Non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measure to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed in the tables accompanying this press release.
