SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Invitae Corporation (NYSE: NVTA), a leading medical genetics company, today announced preliminary financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and increases 2021 guide to revenue between $475-$500 million for the year.

“Having now served more than 2 million patients, a major milestone for the quarter, we are seeing a clear and steady rise in the rate of adoption of genetics for personalized medicine, and we are sitting at the forefront of making the vision of genetics in mainstream medicine a reality,” said Sean George, co-founder and chief executive officer of Invitae. “Years of investment in that reality have delivered yet another strong quarter of growth, and with increased confidence in continuing momentum we are increasing our revenue guidance for the year.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

• Generated revenue of $116.3 million in the quarter, a 152% increase compared to $46.2 million in the same period in 2020
• Reported billable volume of 287,000 in the quarter, a 154% increase compared to 113,000 in the same period in 2020
• Reported preliminary average cost per billable unit of $317 in the quarter compared to $380 average cost per billable unit in the same period in 2020. Non-GAAP average cost per unit was $261 in the quarter
• Achieved preliminary gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 of $25.2 million, compared to $3.2 million in the same period in 2020. Non-GAAP gross profit was $41.2 million in the second quarter

Preliminary total operating expense, which excludes cost of revenue, for the second quarter of 2021 was $159.3 million compared to $145.3 million in the same period in 2020. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which excludes cost of revenue, for the quarter was $198.2 million.

Preliminary net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $129.0 million, or a $0.64 net loss per share, compared to a net loss of $166.4 million, or a $1.29 net loss per share, in the second quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $170.8 million, or a $0.85 non-GAAP net loss per share.

Cost of revenue, operating expense and net loss and other results as indicated are preliminary and subject to change as we finalize acquisition-related adjustments related to the likelihood of achieving a milestone related to the ArcherDX acquisition which closed in October 2020. These non-cash adjustments are expected to be significant and would be expected to increase the gain and reduce the liability reported in the preliminary financial information contained herein. Any adjustments will be incorporated in Invitae’s Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC on or before August 9, 2021.

At June 30, 2021, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $1.54 billion as compared with $681.9 million as of March 31, 2021. Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the quarter was $913.5 million. Cash burn was $256.8 million for the quarter. Cash burn for the quarter would have been $136.7 million excluding the cash paid for acquisitions, primarily related to the cash paid to acquire Genosity.

In April, the company announced that a small group of investors, led by SB Management, a subsidiary of Softbank Group Corp., made an investment of $1.2 billion in convertible senior notes to support the company’s future growth initiatives.

Corporate and Scientific Highlights

• Acquired digital health AI company Medneon to add their risk assessment tools to Invitae’s education and clinical support offerings to further support cancer patients by making it easier for clinicians to determine who should get testing and how to use genetic information to individualize treatment.
• Launched collaborative partnership with the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group providing genetic testing for the NCI-sponsored, Phase II APOLLO trial (led by Dr. Kim Reiss-Binder, University of Pennsylvania), investigating the effectiveness of PARP inhibitor Olaparib in treating pancreatic cancer patients with mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 (NCT04858334).
• Partnered with Children’s National Hospital to expand the knowledge of Mendelian disorders (conditions that run in families) by identifying novel causes of rare inherited diseases, investigating the mechanisms underlying undiagnosed conditions, and enhancing data sharing across the genomics research community.
• Opened early access to its new Personalized Cancer Monitoring (PCM™) platform as a laboratory-developed test performed at an Invitae central laboratory.
• Presented multiple studies in multiple cancer types at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting showing all cancer patients can benefit from germline genetic testing to guide their care, including:
  • Data from 250 pancreatic cancer patients from the landmark INTERCEPT study conducted at the Mayo Clinic showed that nearly one in six patients with pancreatic cancer showed cancer-linked genetic changes and, importantly, receiving germline testing was associated with improved survival.
  • The nationwide PROCLAIM study applied a universal genetic testing approach in 615 prostate cancer patients to assess the efficacy of current testing criteria and found, consistent with INTERCEPT, that current testing criteria deprive patients and clinicians of actionable information, particularly among underrepresented populations, showing a significant number of cancer treatment-linked variants were missed if testing was restricted to current NCCN guidelines.
  • A third study showed simply changing medical policy is not enough to drive changes in clinician adoption. In a review of two independent datasets, including commercially insured and Medicare Advantage enrollees, only 3% of the 55,595 colorectal cancer patients received germline genetic testing, despite medical policy recommending germline genetic testing for all colorectal cancer patients (consistent with the INTERCEPT colorectal cancer study). Of the patients who received testing, 18% had a cancer-linked variant and two thirds, or 67%, of those patients were potentially eligible for precision therapy and/or clinical trials.
• Signed 43 biopharma partnership deals in the quarter, including the introduction of a new sponsored testing program to provide no-charge genetic testing to individuals at risk for or suspected of having the most common adult neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, in the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil.

Inducement Grants

Invitae today announced that it is granting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to new employees who joined Invitae in connection with its recent acquisition of Medneon LLC. The RSUs are being granted under Invitae’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, which was amended and restated to increase a pool of shares of Invitae common stock thereunder which is used exclusively for the grant of inducement awards in compliance with New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08 (“Rule 303A.08"). The RSUs were approved by the Invitae Board of Directors and are made as an inducement material to each employee entering into employment with Invitae in reliance on the employment inducement exemption under Rule 303A.08. The RSUs cover a total of 114,000 shares of Invitae common stock and will vest in tranches of 25% upon each of the date of grant and the first, second and third anniversaries of such date, subject to acceleration in the event of a termination without cause by Invitae or a termination with good reason by a recipient. A total of 12 recipients will receive these RSUs and the founders of Medneon, Kamal Gogineni and Rakesh Patel, will receive RSUs with respect to 15,000 shares of Invitae common stock each.

Safe Harbor Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the company’s preliminary financial results, including preliminary average cost per billable test, gross profit, total operating expense, net loss and net loss per share, and the line items denoted as preliminary on the attached financial statements; the company’s revenue guidance for 2021; the company’s belief regarding the rise in the rate of adoption of genetics in personalized medicine and that the company is at the forefront of bringing genetics into mainstream medicine; the momentum in its business and the drivers of that momentum; the significance of the company’s recent studies and collaborations; and the impact and benefits of the company’s acquisitions, partnerships and product offerings. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the completion of the quarterly closing process, including finalization of milestone-related adjustments and the nature and magnitude thereof; the impact of COVID-19 on the company, and the effectiveness of the efforts it has taken or may take in the future in response thereto; the company’s ability to continue to grow its business, including internationally; the company’s history of losses; the company’s ability to compete; the company’s failure to manage growth effectively; the company’s need to scale its infrastructure in advance of demand for its tests and to increase demand for its tests; the risk that the company may not obtain or maintain sufficient levels of reimbursement for its tests; the ability of the company to obtain regulatory approval for its tests; the applicability of clinical results to actual outcomes; the company’s failure to successfully integrate or fully realize the anticipated benefits of acquired businesses; risks associated with litigation; the company’s ability to use rapidly changing genetic data to interpret test results accurately and consistently; security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions; laws and regulations applicable to the company’s business; and the other risks set forth in the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and Invitae Corporation disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP financial measures
To supplement Invitae’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the company is providing several non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP operating expense, including non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP selling and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative and non-GAAP other income (expense), net, as well as non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share and non-GAAP cash burn. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating the company’s ongoing operating results and trends.

Management is excluding from some or all of its non-GAAP operating results (1) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (2) acquisition-related stock-based compensation, (3) post-combination expense related to the acceleration of equity grants or bonus payments in connection with the company’s acquisitions, (4) adjustments to the fair value of acquisition-related assets and/or liabilities, including contingent consideration and (5) acquisition-related income tax benefits. These non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on the reported financial results. Management accounts for this limitation by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in the company’s public disclosures.

Cash burn excludes (1) changes in marketable securities, (2) cash received from equity financings and (3) cash received from exercises of warrants. Management believes cash burn is a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash consumed by the operations of the business. A limitation of using this non-GAAP measure is that cash burn does not represent the total change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the period because it excludes cash provided by or used for other operating, investing or financing activities. Management accounts for this limitation by providing information about the company’s operating, investing and financing activities in the statements of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements in the company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K and by presenting net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities as well as the net increase or decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in its reconciliation of cash burn.

In addition, other companies, including companies in the same industry, may not use the same non-GAAP measures or may calculate these metrics in a different manner than management or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP measures as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, the company’s non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the non-GAAP reconciliations provided in the tables below. As noted elsewhere, certain GAAP results are preliminary and subject to change.
