SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in genetic testing and precision medicine, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and updated its previously issued financial guidance on business performance for the full-year 2024.
“During the third quarter of 2024, we grew revenue by 11%, compared to the third quarter of 2023, representing a fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue growth and have now delivered 13% revenue growth year-to-date as compared to the same nine-month period in 2023. This builds on the 11% revenue growth we reported for the full year 2023 and reflects the strength of our diversified product offerings, improved commercial execution, and the benefits of the enterprise-wide investments made over the last few years to improve customer service and ease of use,” said Paul J. Diaz, President and CEO of Myriad Genetics. “We continue to focus on delivering profitable growth and free cash flow and are pleased with the significant progress we have made across the organization. These efforts, combined with prudent management of our cost structure, contributed to Myriad Genetics generating an improved net loss of $22.1 million and over $14 million in adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter. In October 2024, we hosted an investor event where we provided additional detail on our strategic initiatives, including enhancements to our existing products, and an update on our new product pipeline. These new products, once commercialized, have the potential to address a number of large market opportunities where we believe we will have highly differentiated proprietary solutions, providing us opportunities to accelerate growth going forward. These opportunities build on our mission and vision to reach more patients with life-changing precision medicine. Unfortunately, differentiated solutions often face obstacles to gain broad payor acceptance, as we recently experienced with UNH and its updated medical policy on multi-gene panel pharmacogenetic testing. We are disappointed UNH is restricting access to GeneSight, an important tool for healthcare providers, especially primary care providers, to help patients suffering from depression and anxiety to find the right medication treatment. We look forward to sharing additional clinical evidence for GeneSight with UNH and finding a positive resolution for patients.”

Financial GuidanceMyriad Genetics does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis for the measures on which it provides forward-looking non-GAAP guidance as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are dependent on various factors, are out of the company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, real estate optimization and transformation initiatives, certain litigation charges and loss contingencies, costs related to acquisitions/divestitures and the related amortization, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments. For example, stock-based compensation may fluctuate based on the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in the company's stock price. Any associated estimate of these items and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measuresIn 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.
The company does not forecast GAAP operating expenses, net income (loss) or earnings per share because it cannot predict certain elements that are included in reported GAAP results. Please see above under “Financial Guidance” for a full explanation.
