NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share data)

(1)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Myriad Genetics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Myriad”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly all financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Assurex Canada, Ltd. which is 85% owned by Assurex Health, Inc. (“Assurex”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and 15% owned by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Assurex Canada, Ltd. is a consolidated subsidiary of Assurex Health, Inc. The value of the non-controlling interest represents the portion of Assurex Canada, Ltd.’s profit or loss and net assets that is not held by Assurex Health, Inc. The Company attributes comprehensive income or loss of the subsidiary between the Company and the non-controlling interest based on the respective ownership interest.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification in the Consolidated Statements of Operations

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company determined that the amounts for the change in the fair value of contingent consideration were improperly reported as a component of other income (expense) and should have been reported as a component of operating income on the consolidated statements of operations at December 31, 2016.  As a result, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 total costs and expenses were overstated, causing operating income and total other income (expense) to be understated by $3.8 and $3.2 respectively.  There was no impact to net income or earnings per share.  The Company concluded that the error was not material to the consolidated statements of operations, but has elected to correct the error in the accompanying financial statements for consistent presentation.  The classification error had no effect on the on the previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of comprehensive income or cash flows for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company’s management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued the converged standard on revenue recognition with the objective of providing a single, comprehensive model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability in the financial statements of companies reporting using International Financial Reporting Standards and U.S. GAAP. The standard contains principles that an entity must apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity must recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. An entity can apply the revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings (modified retrospective method). The standard will be effective for the Company first quarter of fiscal 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 16, 2016.  The Company plans to adopt the standard July 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method.  The Company continues to assess the impact of this standard on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.  Based on its preliminary assessment, the Company expects the majority of the amounts that have historically been classified as bad debt

7


expense, primarily related to patient responsibility, will be reflected as a reduction of the transaction price and therefore as a reduction in revenue. The Company anticipates an increase in the level of required financial statement disclosures due to the standard.

ACQUISITIONS

Assurex

On August 31, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Assurex, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), dated August 3, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Myriad Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into Assurex, with Assurex continuing as the surviving corporation, and wholly owned subsidiary of Myriad.  The Company acquired Assurex for total consideration of $351.6, net of cash acquired of $5.5, including a cash payment of $216.1, and two potential performance-based milestones totaling $185.0 with a fair value of $130.0.  The fair value of the performance-based milestones was determined by using the Monte Carlo Method.

Of the cash consideration, $19.1 was deposited into an escrow account to fund (i) any post-closing adjustments payable to Myriad based upon differences between the estimated working capital and the actual working capital of Assurex at closing, and (ii) any indemnification claims made by Myriad against Assurex within 18 months following closing.

Total consideration transferred was allocated to tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date including current adjustments as set forth below.  The Company believes the acquisition establishes the foundation for our neuroscience business and leverages our existing preventative care business unit with the addition of a product, GeneSight, which has growth potential.  These factors contributed to consideration transferred in excess of the fair value of Assurex’s net tangible and intangible assets acquired, resulting in the Company recording goodwill in connection with the transaction.  During the three months ended September 30, 2017 there was a fair value increase as of the date of the acquisition to equipment totaling $0.1 and $0.2 change in the non-controlling interest at the date of acquisition, which resulted in a net increase to goodwill of $0.1 due to updated 3rd party valuations. Also during that period there was a $1.8 increase in the deferred tax liability due to differences in GAAP and tax purchase accounting as of the date of acquisition which increased goodwill by the same amount.  

Management estimated the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations and utilized the services of third-party valuation consultants. The allocation of consideration transferred is considered final as of September 30, 2017.  The final purchase price allocation is as follows:

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company acquired intangible assets that consisted of developed technology which had an estimated fair value of $256.5 and a database with an estimated fair value of $39.1. The fair value of the developed technology was determined using a probability-weighted income approach that discounts expected future cash flows to present value. The fair value of the database was determined using a combination of the lost profits and replacement cost methods.  The estimated net cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 16% which is based on the estimated internal rate of return for the acquisition and represents the rate that market participants might use to value the intangible assets. The projected cash flows were based on key assumptions such as estimates of revenues and operating profits; the time and resources needed to recreate databases and product and commercial development and approval; the life of the commercialized product; and associated risks related to viability and product alternatives. The Company will amortize the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 17 years for the developed technology and 5 years for the database. This amortization is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Goodwill

The goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is attributable to the benefits expected from combining the Company’s research and commercial operations with Assurex’s. This goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.  Change in goodwill for the period ended December 31, 2017 is shown below:

LONG-TERM DEBT

On December 23, 2016, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) by and among Myriad, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, providing for the Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0, which amount shall include $10.0 sublimits, in each case, for swingline loans and letters of credit. Pursuant to the Facility, Myriad borrowed revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of $205.0 with $0.7 upfront fees and $0.3 debt issuance costs recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the term of the Facility resulting in current net long-term debt of $204.0. The Facility matures on December 23, 2021.  There are no scheduled principal payments of the Facility prior to its maturity date.  

The proceeds of the Facility were used (i) to refinance in full the obligations under the Term Loan, (ii) to pay any fees and expenses related thereto, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Facility contains customary loan terms, interest rates, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, in each case, subject to customary limitations, exceptions and exclusions. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default.

Covenants in the Facility impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company. These restrictions may prohibit or place limitations on, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create certain types of liens, mergers or consolidations, and/or change in control transactions. The Facility may also prohibit or place limitations on the Company’s ability to sell assets, pay dividends or provide other distributions to shareholders. The Company must maintain a specified leverage and interest ratios measured as of the end of each quarter as a financial covenant in the Facility.  We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2017.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company made $31.0 and $56.0 in principal repayments respectively.

The Facility is secured by a first-lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of Myriad and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and each such domestic subsidiary of Myriad has guaranteed the repayment of the Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Facility were as follows:

Stock Repurchase Program

In June 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an eighth share repurchase program of $200.0 of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company plans to repurchase its common stock from time to time or on an accelerated basis through open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions as determined by the Company’s management. The amount and timing of stock repurchases under the program will depend on business and market conditions, stock price, trading restrictions, acquisition activity and other factors.  As of December 31, 2017, the Company has $160.7 remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.

The Company uses the par value method of accounting for its stock repurchases.  As a result of the stock repurchases, the Company reduced common stock and additional paid-in capital and recorded charges to accumulated deficit.  The shares retired, aggregate common stock and additional paid-in capital reductions, and related charges to accumulated deficit for the repurchases for periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

INCOME TAXES

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that will affect our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, including, but not limited to (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent; (2) requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries; (3) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; (4) requiring a current inclusion in U.S. federal taxable income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations; (5) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT), a new minimum tax; (6) creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; (7) revising the rules that limit the deductibility of compensation to certain highly compensated executives, and (8) changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

The SEC staff issued SAB 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.

In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Act and consistent with the requirement to record a provisional estimate when applicable, the Company recorded a discrete net income tax benefit during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 of approximately $32.6.  This provisional estimate primarily consists of a net benefit for the corporate rate reduction due to the revaluing of its net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the reduction in the federal corporate tax rates. The Company’s net deferred tax liabilities represent temporary differences between the book bases of assets which are greater than their tax bases. Upon the reversal of those temporary differences, the future tax impact will be based on the lower federal corporate tax rate enacted by the Tax Act. The Company is continuing to gather information and to analyze aspects of the Tax Act, which could potentially affect the estimated impact on the deferred tax balances. For various reasons that are discussed more fully below, we have not completed our accounting for the income tax effects of certain elements of the Tax Act. To the extent we were not yet

14


able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of certain elements, we have not recorded any adjustments related to those elements and have continued accounting for them in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of the tax laws in effect before the Tax Act.

In addition to the discrete benefit recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 for the provisional estimated impact on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities, the lower federal corporate tax rate reduced the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate which was applied to year to date operating results in accordance with the interim accounting guidelines.  The Company estimates that the reduction in the federal corporate rate will have an ongoing effect to reduce the Company’s income tax expense from continuing operations.

As a result of changes made by the Tax Act, Section 162(m) will limit the deduction of compensation, including performance-based compensation, in excess of $1 million paid to anyone who, for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018, serves as the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, or who is among the three most highly compensated executive officers for any fiscal year. The only exception to this rule is for compensation that is paid pursuant to a binding written contract in effect on November 2, 2017 that would have otherwise been deductible under the prior Section 162(m) rules. Accordingly, any compensation paid in the future pursuant to new compensation arrangements entered into after November 2, 2017, even if performance-based, will count towards the $1 million fiscal year deduction limit if paid to a covered executive. The Company estimates that there will not be a material impact during the current quarter or fiscal year, as the law is effective for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018. The Company has evaluated its binding contracts entered into prior to November 2, 2017, and believes there will be no material impact for adjustments related to deferred equity compensation currently carried as a deferred tax asset on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining calculations, which could potentially affect the impact of this provision.

The Tax Act also implements certain changes on the taxation of the Company’s foreign operations. Our accounting for the following elements of the Tax Act is incomplete, and we were not yet able to make reasonable estimates of the effects.  Therefore, no provisional adjustments were recorded.

The Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax (Transition Tax) is a tax on previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits (E&P) of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. To determine the amount of the Transition Tax, we must determine, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-1986 E&P of the relevant subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings.  While the Company estimates that there will not be a material impact during the current quarter or current fiscal year due to the Transition Tax, we are not able to make a reasonable estimate of the Transition Tax and have not recorded a provisional amount.  We are continuing to gather additional information needed to finalize the amount of post-1986 E&P to more precisely compute the amount of the Transition Tax.

The Tax Act creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e., GILTI) earned by controlled foreign corporations (CFCs) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder. Global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) is the excess of the shareholder’s “net CFC tested income” over the net deemed tangible income return, which is currently defined as the excess of (1) 10 percent of the aggregate of the U.S. shareholder’s pro rata share of the qualified business asset investment of each CFC with respect to which it is a U.S. shareholder over (2) the amount of certain interest expense taken into account in the determination of net CFC-tested income. Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, we are continuing to evaluate this provision of the Tax Act and the application of ASC 740. Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company is not making a policy election at this time. Our calculation of the deferred balance with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. Because whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends on not only our current structure and estimated future results of global operations but also our intent and ability to modify our structure and/or our business, we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of this provision of the Tax Act. Therefore, we have not made any adjustments related to potential GILTI tax in our financial statements.

Other revisions to the taxation of foreign earnings will not be effective until the Company’s fiscal year ending on June 30, 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the additional provisions of the Tax Act that will become effective in their fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.

The impact of the Tax Act may differ from these estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, guidance that may be issued and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act. The Company will continue to update the provisional estimates as information is obtained, such as state impacts regarding decoupling from the Tax Act provisions, realization of deferred amounts in the fiscal year, and accounting method elections that may be made by the Company.

In order to determine the Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate that is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates.  

15


The Tax Act reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21% in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.  Section 15 of the Internal Revenue Code Stipulates that our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, will have a blended corporate tax rate of 28 percent, which is based on the applicable tax rates before and after the Tax Act and the number of days in the year. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $(28.4), which included a provisional one-time benefit of $32.6 related to the Tax Act.  After excluding the one-time benefit related to the Tax Act, the income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $4.2, or approximately 113.5% of pre-tax income compared to $6.2, or approximately 51.2%% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended December 31, 2016.  Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2017 (after excluding the one-time Tax Act benefit of $32.6) was $9.8, or approximately 10.7% of pre-tax income compared to $11.4, or approximately 70.8% of pre-tax income, for the six months ended December 31, 2016.  Income tax expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 is based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, adjusted by discrete items recognized during the period.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s recognized effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of fair value adjustments related to acquisition contingent consideration, state income taxes, the prior year adoption of ASU 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting and other benefits realized from the differences related to the earlier recognition of the tax effect of equity compensation expense from incentive stock options and the deduction realized when those options are disqualified upon exercise and sale.

The Company files U.S., foreign and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations.  The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015; the State of New Jersey for the fiscal years June 30, 2007 through 2013; and Canada for the fiscal years June 30, 2014 through 2015. Annual and interim tax provisions include amounts considered necessary to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns; however, the amount ultimately paid upon resolution of issues may differ materially from the amount accrued.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On November 30, 2017, the shareholders approved the adoption of the 2017 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”).  The 2017 Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to make grants of restricted and unrestricted stock awards to employees, consultants and directors.  The plan allows for issuance of up to 1.4 shares of common stock.  In addition, as of December 31, 2017, the Company may grant additional shares of common stock under the 2017 plan up to 1.7 options outstanding under our 2003 Plan and 6.8 options and restricted stock units outstanding under our 2010 Plan, that expire or are cancelled without delivery of shares of common stock.

The number of shares, terms, and vesting periods are determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof on an option-by-option basis. Options generally vest ratably over service periods of four years.  Options granted after December 5, 2012 expire eight years from the date of grant, and options granted prior to that date generally expire ten years from the date of grant. In September 2014, the Company began issuing restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in lieu of stock options.  RSUs granted to employees generally vest ratably over four years on the anniversary date of the last day of the month in which the RSUs are granted. The number of RSUs awarded to certain executive officers may be reduced if certain additional performance metrics are not met. Options and RSUs granted to our non-employee directors vest in full upon completion of one year of service on the Board following the date of the grant.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset or pay in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value of contingent consideration related to the Sividon and Assurex acquisitions as well as the long-term debt were categorized as a level 3 liability, as the measurement amount is based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the market. For more information about the Assurex acquisition, see Note 2 "Acquisitions".  The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

Level 1—

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2—

observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  Some of the Company’s marketable securities primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities.

Level 3—

unobservable inputs.

All of the Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based on other observable inputs.  For Level 2 securities, the Company uses a third party pricing service which provides documentation on an ongoing basis that includes, among other things, pricing information with respect to reference data, methodology, inputs summarized by asset class, pricing application and corroborative information.  For Level 3 contingent consideration, we reassess the fair value of expected contingent consideration and the corresponding liability each reporting period using the Monte Carlo Method, which is consistent with the initial measurement of the expected earn out liability.  This fair value measurement is considered a Level 3

17


measurement because we estimate projections during the earn out period utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios.  Probabilities were applied to each potential scenario and the resulting values were discounted using a rate that considers weighted average cost of capital as well as a specific risk premium associated with the riskiness of the earn out itself, the related projections, and the overall business.  The contingent earn out liabilities are classified as a component of long-term and short-term contingent consideration in our consolidated balance sheets. Changes to these estimated liabilities are reflected in change in the fair value of contingent consideration in our consolidated income statement. 

The fair value of our long-term debt, which we consider a Level 3 measurement, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.  The fair value of long-term debt is estimated to be $38.7 at December 31, 2017.

SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

The Company’s business is aligned with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews performance and makes decisions in managing the Company.  The business units have been aggregated into two reportable segments: (i) diagnostics and (ii) other. The diagnostics segment provides testing and collaborative development of testing that is designed to assess an individual’s risk for developing disease later in life, identify a patient’s likelihood of responding to drug therapy and guide a patient’s dosing to ensure optimal treatment, or assess a patient’s risk of disease progression and disease recurrence. The other segment provides testing products and services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical research industries, research and development, and clinical services for patients, and includes corporate services such as finance, human resources, legal and information technology.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

We are a leading personalized medicine company dedicated to being a trusted advisor transforming patient lives through pioneering molecular diagnostics. Through our proprietary technologies, we believe we are positioned to identify important disease genes, the proteins they produce, and the biological pathways in which they are involved to better understand the genetic basis of human disease and the role that genes and their related proteins may play in the disease process. We believe that identifying biomarkers (DNA, RNA and proteins) will enable us to develop novel molecular diagnostic tests that can provide important information to solve unmet medical needs that will provide better patient outcomes and reduce waste in the healthcare system. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we reported total revenues of $194.0 million, net income of $32.1 million that included income tax benefit of $28.4 million resulting in $0.45 diluted earnings per share.  During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we reported total revenues of $384.2 million, net income of $113.2 million that included income tax benefit of $22.8 million resulting in $1.59 diluted earnings per share.

Our business units have been aligned with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews performance and makes decisions in managing the Company.  The business units have been aggregated into two reportable segments: (i) diagnostics and (ii) other. The diagnostics segment provides testing and collaborative development of testing that is designed to assess an individual’s risk for developing disease later in life, identify a patient’s likelihood of responding to drug therapy and guide a patient’s dosing to ensure optimal treatment, or assess a patient’s risk of disease progression and disease recurrence. The other segment provides testing products and services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical research industries, research and development, and clinical services for patients, and includes corporate services such as finance, human resources, legal and information technology.

Business Highlights

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017 GeneSight achieved statistically significant improvement in the gold-standard outcomes of response and remission in a 1,200 patient prospective randomized controlled trial.  We also presented data from the IMPACT study at the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics demonstrating that GeneSight statistically significantly improved anxiety symptom severity in 210 patients with generalized anxiety disorder. Anxiety symptoms based on the GAD-7 scale, improved 45 percent in patients receiving congruent therapy versus 26 percent for patients receiving non-congruent therapy. The result was statistically significant with a p-value of 0.03.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017 we presented pivotal validation data for riskScore showing it is a highly statistically significant predictor of the 5-year lifetime risk of breast cancer.  We presented data demonstrating that VectraDA was three to five times better at predicting radiographic progression compared to conventional measures of disease activity. The Medicare Local Coverage Decision (LCD) for favorable intermediate prostate cancer patients was finalized.  Last we received FDA approval for BracAnalysis CDx as a companion diagnostic in conjunction with Lynparza for HER2-metastatic breast cancer.

The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decrease of $17.0 million in Hereditary Cancer Testing primarily due to reduced reimbursement.  This decrease was partially offset by increases of $10.0 million in GeneSight, $1.9 million in Prolaris and $2.2 million in pharmaceutical and clinical services due to increased reimbursement and sample volumes.

Our tax rate is the product of a blended U.S. federal effective rate of 28% and a blended state income tax rate of approximately 3%. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from period to period.

Income tax expense after excluding the $32.6 million one-time Tax Act benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2017 is $4.2 million for an effective tax rate of 113.5%.  The increase in the effective rate (after excluding the one-time Tax Act benefit) for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in prior year is due to fair value adjustments related to acquisition contingent consideration, state taxes, and the early adoption of ASU 2016-09 which impacts expense based on fluctuations in stock price.  Differences related to the recognition of the tax effect of equity compensation expense from the disqualification of incentive stock options also impacted the current and prior year effective tax rate.

The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase of $31.5 million in GeneSight revenue resulting from including two full quarters of revenues from Assurex as well as the impact of increased volumes. In addition, VectraDA revenue increased by $4.9

23


million primarily due to timing of Medicare billing and cash collections as well as a switch to an accrual basis revenue recognition for some payers.  Also, there was a $2.1 million increase in Prolaris revenue due to increased volumes.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $29.6 million in Hereditary Cancer Testing primarily due to reduced reimbursement.

The fair value of contingent consideration for the six months ended December 31, 2017 decreased compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to a $73.3 million decrease due to the Assurex RCT not meeting its primary endpoint which resulted in the Company not being required to pay the related milestone as defined in the acquisition agreement. This decrease was partially offset by increases in the fair value of the remaining Assurex and Sividon contingent consideration.

Income tax expense after excluding the $32.6 million one-time Tax Act benefit for the six months ended December 31, 2017 is $9.8 million for an effective tax rate of 10.9%.  The decrease in the effective rate (after excluding the one-time Tax Act benefit) for the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in prior year is due to fair value adjustments related to acquisition contingent consideration, state taxes, and the early adoption of ASU 2016-09 which impacts expense based on fluctuations in stock price.  Differences related to the recognition of the tax effect of equity compensation expense from the disqualification of incentive stock options also impacted the current and prior year effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our existing capital resources and the cash to be generated from future sales will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements, including contingent consideration and repayment of the outstanding Facility which matures on December 23, 2021, for the foreseeable future. There are no scheduled principal payments of the Facility prior to its maturity date; however, our available capital resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently expected and we may need or want to raise additional financing. We may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all.  Without additional funds, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some of our sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, or other operations and potentially delay development of our diagnostic tests in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue our

25


operations. If any of these events occurs, our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals would be adversely affected.

Our capital deployment strategy focuses on use of resources in three key areas: research and development, acquisitions and the repurchase of our common stock.  We believe that research and development provides the best return on invested capital.  We also allocate capital for acquisitions that support our business strategy and share repurchases based on business and market conditions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The increase in cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to the $51.5 million increase in net income excluding the effect of the change in contingent consideration.  The increase was also due to $1.2 million of changes in assets and liabilities associated with operating activities.  These were partially offset by a $24.7 million increase in non-cash charges excluding the effect of the change in contingent consideration.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year, the decrease in cash used in investing activities was driven primarily by the $216.1 million of cash used for the purchase of Assurex in the prior year.  This was partially offset by a $76.0 million decrease in net proceeds from marketable investment securities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year, the decrease in cash flows from financing activities was driven primarily by the $204.0 million reduction in net proceeds from the revolving credit facility in the prior year and the $56.0 million in cash paid for repayment of the revolving credit facility in the current year.  These reductions in cash flows were partially offset by $31.6 million reduction in cash used to repurchase common stock and an increase in proceeds from issuance of common stock under share-based compensation plans of $5.3 million.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, sales, or operating results during the periods presented.

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an eighth share repurchase program of $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock. We plan to repurchase our common stock from time to time or on an accelerated basis through open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions as determined by our management. The amount and timing of stock repurchases under the program will depend on business and market conditions, stock price, trading restrictions, acquisition activity and other factors.  As of December 31, 2017, we have $160.7 million remaining on our current share repurchase authorization.  See also “Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds – Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.”

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those policies which are both important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  No significant changes to our accounting policies took place during the period.  For a further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations

The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains such “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

All forward-looking statements are management’s present expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements.

In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report or in any document incorporated by reference might not occur. Stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the six months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

(b)

Changes in Internal Controls.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In June 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized us to repurchase an additional $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock increasing the cumulative share repurchase authorization since we first authorized the program in May 2010 to $1.4 billion. In connection with our most recent stock repurchase authorization, we have been authorized to complete the repurchase through open market transactions or through an accelerated share repurchase program, in each case to be executed at management’s discretion based on business and market conditions, stock price, trading restrictions, acquisition activity and other factors.  As of the date of this report, we have not entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement under our most recent stock repurchase program. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The transactions effectuated to date occurred in open market purchases.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 we acquired the following shares of common stock under our stock repurchase program:
