Interpace Diagnostics Reports Record Cash Collections During March

PARSIPPANY, N.J., April 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Interpace Diagnostics Group (NASDAQ: IDXG) a company focused on developing and commercializing high value-added molecular diagnostics tests for oncology set a record for monthly cash collections during March 2016.  In excess of $1.3 million was collected by the Company, the highest amount since its formation in November 2014. Cash collections are typically a leading indicator for revenue recognition for most early commercial stage molecular diagnostics companies.

"Our record setting cash collection month illustrates several healthy dynamics of the Interpace Diagnostics operations," said Jack Stover, Interim CEO.  "In addition to the obvious benefits of collecting our receivables, we believe this milestone of record cash collections demonstrates the growing acceptance by customers and payers for our  high value added molecular diagnostics assays.  Multiple studies and publications demonstrate that our tests favorably impact patient lives and reduce the costs associated with unnecessary surgical procedures."  

"Robust cash collections are even more important to us as we continue our transition to being a fully integrated molecular diagnostics company after selling our CSO business in December of last year. Meeting our obligations importantly allows us to then continue to invest in development, as well as support our existing product lines already in the market," added Mr. Stover.

Interpace Diagnostics plans to report its first quarter 2016 financial results in early May.
