SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in genetic testing and precision medicine, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023. The Company also provided an update on its business performance and 2023 financial guidance. “Strong double-digit test volume growth in the second quarter of 2023 continues to reflect greater adoption by providers as we continue to emerge from the pandemic restrictions on access and Myriad’s improved commercial execution across our businesses. We're pleased with ongoing share gains in our hereditary cancer testing franchise, particularly the 21% year-over-year volume growth in Women's Health," said Paul J. Diaz, president and CEO, Myriad Genetics. "Excluding changes in estimated revenue, Myriad generated 10% year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter of 2023, even as the company, and the diagnostics lab industry, continue to work through challenging payor dynamics that negatively impacted our second quarter revenue by approximately $4 million. We believe these dynamics are largely transitory and we remain focused on working collaboratively with payers to support reimbursement for the services we provide to healthcare providers and their patients." Mr. Diaz concluded, “In the second quarter of 2023, we generated strong gross margins, managed operating expenses and improved our financial flexibility by executing on a new credit facility. We remain confident in our ability to achieve our goal of adjusted profitability by the fourth quarter and sustainable 10%+ annual revenue growth."

  • In June 2023, we entered into a research collaboration with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to use our minimal residual disease testing platform, a tumor-informed high-definition assay that detects circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), to support research focused on metastatic renal cell carcinoma treatment selection and response.
  • Added the Folate Receptor Alpha test as an enhancement to the Precise Oncology Solutions portfolio to help guide treatment decisions for women living with ovarian cancer.

Women’s Health
The Myriad Genetics Women’s Health business serves women of all ancestries by assessing their risk of cancer and offers prenatal testing solutions for those who are pregnant or planning a family. The Women’s Health business delivered revenue of $67.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.

  • Second quarter hereditary cancer testing volumes in Women's Health grew 21% year-over-year, driven by competitive account wins and increased adoption by providers of MyRisk for patients whose family history puts them at a higher risk for cancer.
  • Excluding the contributions from the SneakPeek Early Gender DNA Test, prenatal testing volumes in the second quarter of 2023 grew 12% versus the second quarter of 2022.
  • In collaboration with SimonMed® Imaging, one of the largest independent outpatient medical imaging providers and physician radiology practices in the U.S., we launched a new Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Program in the second quarter of 2023. This program combines diagnostic imaging and genetic risk assessment utilizing MyRisk with RiskScore® and patient education. The program is expected to enable affordable access to genetic testing and deliver personalized insights to better inform clinical decisions for millions of potential patients.
  • During the second quarter of 2023, Myriad surpassed one million Prequel® tests provided to-date.

Mental Health
The Myriad Genetics Mental Health business consists of the GeneSight test that covers 64 medications commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other psychiatric conditions. GeneSight helps physicians understand how genetic alterations impact patient response to antidepressants and other drugs. In the pharmacogenomics category, the GeneSight test recorded revenue of $35.2 million in the second quarter of 2023.

  • In the second quarter, Myriad Genetics added approximately 4,000 clinicians who ordered GeneSight for the first time.
  • Second quarter GeneSight revenue began to factor in reimbursement from a number of Medicaid programs and managed Medicaid plans now pricing and paying for GeneSight under the PLA code (O345U).
  • Myriad continues to work on building GeneSight's clinical data, including collaborating with Optum Genomics to create a multi-phase study designed to better understand GeneSight's ability to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
  • Building on a 2020 meta-analysis of the clinical utility of the GeneSight test, which included four prospective, controlled trials and 1,556 unique patients, Myriad is incorporating additional published studies to further measure the utility of combinatorial pharmacogenomics testing for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Securities Class Action Settlement
Myriad Genetics reached an agreement to settle the securities class-action lawsuit, In re Myriad Genetics, Inc. Securities Litigation, 2:19-cv-00707-JNP-DBP (D. Utah). The settlement, if approved by the United States District Court for the District of Utah, will resolve all claims brought by the plaintiff Los Angeles Fire and Police Pensions Fund, without Myriad Genetics making an admission or the finding of fault, liability, or wrongdoing by Myriad Genetics or any current and former Myriad Genetics employees. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Myriad Genetics has agreed to pay a settlement amount of $77.5 million, consisting of at least $20 million in cash to be paid in the third quarter of 2023, and, at Myriad Genetics’ sole election, the remaining $57.5 million in either shares of Myriad Genetics common stock or cash, or a combination thereof, upon the final court approval of the settlement, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2024.

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measures
In this press release, the company’s financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that presentation of operating results using 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. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and to manage the company’s business. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included in the schedules below and a description of the adjustments made to the GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the schedules.

The company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Non-GAAP financial results are reported in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

(1) The company has revised its Adjusted Free Cash Flow metric in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 to exclude the tax impact, if any, associated with non-GAAP adjustments.    
     

Following is a description of the adjustments made to GAAP financial measures:

  • Acquisition – amortization of intangible assets – represents recurring amortization charges resulting from the acquisition of intangible assets.
  • Goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges – impairment charges on long-lived assets and goodwill.
  • Equity compensation – non-cash equity-based compensation provided to Myriad Genetics employees and directors.
  • Transformation initiatives – transitory costs such as consulting and professional fees related to transformation initiatives, additional rent as a result of the build-out of the company's new laboratories in Salt Lake City, Utah and in South San Francisco, California, while maintaining its current laboratories in those locations, re-location costs of equipment to new laboratories, severance costs, and accelerated depreciation in connection with the company's decision to cease the use of its former corporate headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. With respect to the adjusted free cash flow reconciliation, the cash flow effect of transformation initiatives excludes non-cash items such as accelerated depreciation.
  • Legal charges, net of insurance reimbursement – one-time legal expenses, net of insurance reimbursement. With respect to the adjusted free cash flow reconciliation, the cash flow effect includes cash paid for settlements in the related period.
  • Other adjustments – other one-time non-recurring expenses including consulting and professional fees related to prior year acquisitions, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions from prior years and reclassifications of cumulative translation adjustments to income upon liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity.
  • Tax adjustments – tax expense/(benefit) due to non-GAAP adjustments, differences between stock compensation recorded for book purposes as compared to the allowable tax deductions, and valuation allowance recognized against federal and state deferred tax assets in the United States. A valuation allowance of $37.2 million was not recognized for non-GAAP purposes given the company's historical and forecasted positive earnings performance.

1 Change of estimates may include both positive and negative adjustments primarily driven by changes in the estimated transaction price due to contractual adjustments, actual cash collections, and obtaining updated information from payors and patients that was unknown at the time revenue was recognized.
