MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Exact Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: EXAS), a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, today announced that the Company generated revenue of $709 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $628 million for the same period of 2023.

“The Exact Sciences’ team is helping eradicate cancer while strengthening our platform and growing our business efficiently,” said Kevin Conroy, chairman and CEO. “During the third quarter, we delivered test results to more patients than ever before, improved profitability, and achieved key milestones in our pipeline of innovative cancer diagnostics. While we have made progress, our execution during the third quarter and updated outlook for the full year don’t reflect our full potential. We plan to accelerate growth in 2025, and our long-term outlook remains strong.”

Third-quarter 2024 financial results

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period of 2023 (where applicable):

• Total revenue was $709 million, an increase of 13 percent on a reported and core revenue basis
• Screening revenue was $545 million, an increase of 15 percent
• Precision Oncology revenue was $164 million, an increase of 5 percent on a reported and core revenue basis
• Gross margin including amortization of acquired intangible assets was 69 percent, and non-GAAP gross margin excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets was 72 percent
• Other operating income was $3 million compared to $72 million, which included a gain related to the sale of the Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score Test in third-quarter 2023
• Net loss was $38 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, a reduction of $39 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share
• Adjusted EBITDA was $99 million an increase of $42 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 14 percent, an increase of 500 basis points
• Operating cash flow was $139 million and free cash flow was $113 million, increases of $114 million and $113 million, respectively
• Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $1.02 billion at the end of the quarter

Platform and pipeline advancements

The Company's ExactNexus™ technology platform allows Exact Sciences to connect electronically with patients, health systems, healthcare professionals, and payers. The digital tools and data embedded within the ExactNexus platform enable personalized customer experiences, creating a streamlined process for accessing information, enhancing patient engagement, and improving health outcomes. This approach contributed to strong growth in Cologuard test utilization among rescreen patients and within care gap programs during the third quarter.

Exact Sciences received FDA approval for the Cologuard Plus test, its next-generation Cologuard test. The Cologuard Plus test detects cancers and precancerous polyps with even greater sensitivity than the Cologuard test while reducing false positives by more than 30 percent. This advancement enhances the Company’s screening capabilities and reinforces its commitment to delivering high-quality, non-invasive options for patients. With the Cologuard Plus test, the Company expects to secure a higher price through an established Medicare pathway.

In the third quarter, the Company also presented data for its blood-based colorectal cancer screening test, showcasing a sensitivity of 88% for colorectal cancer and 31% for advanced precancerous lesions at 90% specificity. These results show the potential of the Company's novel marker panel to detect advanced precancerous lesions and cancers at an attractive cost profile. This innovation is expected to provide average-risk patients with another screening option, reinforcing the power of the Company’s unique scientific approach.

Exact Sciences secured acceptance from a peer-reviewed journal for its first publication on the Oncodetect test, its molecular residual disease and recurrence monitoring test. These data are currently under embargo and are expected to be shared in January 2025. With nearly 6 million cancer survivors in the U.S. who could benefit from residual and recurrent disease testing, the need is urgent - yet less than 5% are currently receiving the vital testing today. This recognition highlights the scientific rigor behind the product and positions the Oncodetect test as a leading solution for monitoring residual disease and cancer recurrence.

The Company also shared evidence supporting its blood-based multi-cancer screening test, assessing organ-specific performance of methylation and protein biomarkers in a prospectively collected cohort of samples from its ASCEND 2 study. The analysis indicated an overall sensitivity of 55% in cancers without standard-of-care screening options (excluding lung), and 64% in the six most aggressive cancers with the shortest survival rates, with a specificity of 98.5%. These findings highlight the potential clinical value of using multiple biomarkers to detect various cancer types, including the most aggressive and those without recommended screening options.

Non-GAAP disclosure

In addition to the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP measures that it determines to be useful in evaluating its operating performance and liquidity. The Company presents core revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted cost of sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets), adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted amortization of acquired intangible assets, adjusted impairment of long-lived assets, adjusted other operating income (loss), adjusted operating income (loss), and free cash flow. Core revenue is calculated to adjust for recent acquisitions and divestitures, COVID-19 testing revenue and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. To exclude the impact of change in foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period under comparison, the Company converts the current period non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue using the prior year comparative period exchange rates. The Company defines non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin, respectively, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets. The amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets used in the calculation of non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin pertain only to the amortization associated with developed technology acquired and recorded through purchase accounting transactions. The amortization of these intangible assets will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cost of sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets), adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted amortization of acquired intangible assets, adjusted impairment of long-lived assets, adjusted other operating income (loss), and adjusted operating income (loss) consist of the applicable GAAP measure after adjustment for those items shown in the reconciliations below. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. The Company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure and is calculated as net cash used in or provided by operating activities, reduced by purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial information to establish budgets, manage the Company’s business, and set incentive and compensation arrangements. The Company believes free cash flow provides useful information to management and investors since it measures our ability to generate cash from business operations. Non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental information purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross profit exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets although such measures include the revenue associated with the acquisitions. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA and other adjusted operating result metrics exclude a number of expense items that are included in net loss. As a result, positive adjusted EBITDA or adjusted operating income may be achieved while a significant net loss persists. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP, see below “Reconciliation of Core Revenue”, “Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin Reconciliations”, “Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations”, “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures”, and “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow”. The Company presents certain forward-looking statements about the Company’s future financial performance that include non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures include adjustments like stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs including gains and losses on contingent consideration, and other significant charges or gains that are difficult to predict for future periods because the nature of the adjustments pertain to events that have not yet occurred. Additionally management does not forecast many of the excluded items for internal use. Information reconciling forward-looking non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP measures is therefore not available without unreasonable effort, and is not provided. The occurrence, timing, and amount of any of the items excluded from GAAP to calculate non-GAAP could significantly impact the Company’s GAAP results.

About the Cologuard® and Cologuard Plus™ tests:

Developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, the Cologuard and Cologuard Plus tests are non-invasive colorectal cancer (CRC) screening options for the 110 million U.S. adults ages 45 or older who are at average risk for the disease.

The Cologuard test revolutionized CRC screening by detecting specific DNA markers and blood associated with cancer and precancer in stool, allowing patients to use the test at home without special preparation or time off. It is covered by Medicare and included in national screening guidelines from both the American Cancer Society (2018) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2021). Since its launch in 2014, the Cologuard test has been used to screen for CRC 17 million times.

Building on this success, the FDA-approved Cologuard Plus test raises the performance bar even further and features novel biomarkers, improved laboratory processes, and enhanced sample stability. The Cologuard Plus test is expected to reduce false positives by more than 30%, to help minimize unnecessary follow-up colonoscopies. Both tests demonstrate Exact Sciences’ commitment to improving CRC screening access and outcomes. Exact Sciences expects to launch the Cologuard Plus test with Medicare coverage and guideline inclusion in 2025.

(1) Interest expense includes net gains recorded of $10.3 million and $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, from the settlement of convertible notes. The gains represent the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration transferred and (ii) the sum of the carrying value of the debt at the time of the exchange.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, this represents the remeasurement of the associated contingent consideration. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, this represents a gain of $3.1 million from additional cash and equity consideration received, a $68.9 million contingent consideration gain, and $1.5 million in legal and professional service fees.
