New Additions to the SOPHiA DDM™ Network
MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™, the new liquid biopsy offering from SOPHiA GENETICS, combines the sophisticated analytics, state-of-the-art algorithms and global network of the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform, with the scientific and clinical expertise of Memorial Sloan Kettering in cancer genomics.

MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ will be tested at Tennessee Oncology, a U.S.-based patient-centered community oncology practice with over 35 locations. Tennessee Oncology, which is part of OneOncology, a network of leading oncology practices and experts driving the future of community-based cancer care, provides access to high-quality, innovative cancer care for its patients and increases access to advanced cancer testing in underserved areas. 

Additionally, Dasa, the largest integrated healthcare network in Latin America that serves more than 20 million patients per year – including approximately 10% of the Brazilian population – also expanded its use of the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform to offer liquid biopsy via MSK-ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™.

The SOPHiA DDM™ Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) Solution continues to be a strong driver of growth just two years after launch. Today, SOPHiA GENETICS announced that The Royal Marsden, a world leader in cancer care, pioneering treatment and ground-breaking research, is live on the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform to support HRD testing and research in the United Kingdom.

Full Year 2023 Preliminary Estimated Results
Based on information currently available, for the full year ending December 31, 2023, the Company expects to report FY results in line with guidance provided at Q3 earnings:

• Full-year reported revenue growth expected to be at or above 30%;
• Full year constant currency revenue growth excluding COVID-19-related revenue to be between 30% and 35%; and
• 2023 operating losses to be below 2022 levels.

The foregoing figures are preliminary and unaudited and reflect the Company's estimated financial results. In preparing this information, management made a number of complex and subjective judgments and estimates about the appropriateness of certain reported amounts and disclosures. The Company's actual financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023 have not yet been finalized by management or audited by the Company's independent auditors. The preliminary financial information is not a comprehensive statement of all financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023. Subsequent information or events may lead to material differences between the foregoing preliminary financial results and those reported in the Company's subsequent SEC filings. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on these preliminary financial results.

Constant currency revenue growth excluding COVID-19-related revenue is a non-IFRS measure. See "Presentation of Constant Currency Excluding COVID-19-Related Revenue" below for a description of its calculation. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Constant currency revenue growth excluding COVID-19-related revenue to Revenue, the most comparable IFRS financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the impact of foreign currency translation.

Presentation of Constant Currency Excluding COVID-19-Related Revenue
We present constant currency revenue excluding COVID-19-related revenue to remove the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenue as well as revenues that we derived from sales of COVID-19-related offerings. We believe that this non-IFRS measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our revenue growth.

We operate internationally, and our revenues are generated primarily in the U.S. dollar, the euro and Swiss franc and, to a lesser extent, British pound, Australian dollar, Brazilian real, Turkish lira and Canadian dollar depending on our customers' geographic locations. Changes in revenue include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Under IFRS, revenues received in local (non-U.S. dollar) currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rate for the month in which the transaction occurred. When we use the term "constant currency", it means that we have translated local currency revenues for the current reporting period into U.S. dollars using the same average foreign currency exchange rates for the conversion of revenues into U.S. dollars that we used to translate local currency revenues for the comparable reporting period of the prior year. We then calculate the difference between the IFRS revenue and the constant currency revenue to yield the "constant currency impact" for the current period. The exclusion of the impact of exchange rate fluctuations provides comparability across reporting periods and reflects the effects of our customer acquisition efforts and land-and-expand strategy.

We derive certain revenue from sales of COVID-19-related offerings, including a NGS assay for COVID-19 that leverages our SOPHiA DDM^TM Platform and related products and solutions analytical capabilities and COVID-19 bundled access products. We do not believe that these revenues reflect our core business of commercializing our platform because our COVID-19 solution was offered to address specific market demand by our customers for analytical capabilities to assist with their testing operations. We do not anticipate additional development of our COVID-19-related solution as the pandemic transitions into a more endemic phase and as customer demand continues to decline. Further, COVID-19-related revenues did not constitute, and we do not expect COVID-19-related revenues to constitute in the future, a significant part of our revenue.

Our management and board of directors use constant currency revenue excluding COVID-19-related revenue growth to evaluate our growth and generate future operating plans. Accordingly, we believe that this non-IFRS measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our revenue growth in the same manner as our management and board of directors. However, this non-IFRS measure has limitations, particularly as the exchange rate effects that are eliminated could constitute a significant element of our revenue and could significantly impact our performance and prospects. Because of these limitations, you should consider this non-IFRS measure alongside other financial performance measures, including revenue and revenue growth presented in accordance with IFRS and our other IFRS results.
