2024 revenue outlook
The company anticipates revenue of $2.810-$2.850 billion during 2024, assuming:
- Screening revenue of $2.155-$2.175 billion, and
- Precision Oncology revenue of $655-$675 million
Non-GAAP disclosure
In addition to the company's financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the company provides non-GAAP measures that it determines to be useful in evaluating its operating performance and liquidity. The company presents EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, core revenue, and free cash flow. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA consist of net loss after adjustment for those items shown in the table below. The company defines non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin, respectively, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets. The amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets used in the calculation of non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin pertain only to the amortization associated with developed technology acquired and recorded through purchase accounting transactions. The amortization of these intangible assets will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Core revenue is calculated to adjust for recent acquisitions and divestitures, COVID-19 testing revenue and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. To exclude the impact of change in foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period under comparison, the Company converts the current period non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue using the prior year comparative period exchange rates. The company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure and is calculated as net cash used in or provided by operating activities, reduced by purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management believes that presentation of 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. The company uses this non-GAAP financial information to establish budgets, manage the company's business, and set incentive and compensation arrangements. The company believes free cash flow provides useful information to management and investors since it measures our ability to generate cash from business operations. Non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental information purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross profit exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets although such measures include the revenue associated with the acquisitions. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA excludes a number of expense items that are included in net loss. As a result, positive adjusted EBITDA may be achieved while a significant net loss persists. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP, see below “EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliations”, “Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin Reconciliations”, “Reconciliation of Core Revenue”, and “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow”. The company presents certain forward-looking statements about the company's future financial performance that include non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures include adjustments like stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs including gains and losses on contingent consideration that are difficult to predict for future periods because the nature of the adjustments pertain to events that have not yet occurred. Additionally, management does not forecast many of the excluded items for internal use. Information reconciling forward-looking non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP measures is therefore not available without unreasonable effort and is not provided. The occurrence, timing, and amount of any of the items excluded from GAAP to calculate non-GAAP could significantly impact the company's GAAP results.

About Cologuard
The Cologuard test was approved by the FDA in August 2014, and results from Exact Sciences’ prospective 90-site, point-in-time, 10,000-patient pivotal trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March 2014. The Cologuard test is included in the American Cancer Society’s (2018) colorectal cancer screening guidelines and the recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2021) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (2016). The Cologuard test is indicated to screen adults 45 years of age and older who are at average risk for colorectal cancer by detecting certain DNA markers and blood in the stool. Do not use the Cologuard test if you have had precancer, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The Cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high risk patients. The Cologuard test performance in adults ages 45-49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older. The Cologuard test performance in repeat testing has not been evaluated.
The Cologuard test result should be interpreted with caution. A positive test result does not confirm the presence of cancer. Patients with a positive test result should be referred for colonoscopy. A negative test result does not confirm the absence of cancer. Patients with a negative test result should discuss with their doctor when they need to be tested again. Medicare and most major insurers cover the Cologuard test. For more information about the Cologuard test, visit cologuardtest.com. Rx only.

__________________
(1) Interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 includes a $10.3 million net gain recorded on the settlement of convertible notes. This gain represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration transferred and (ii) the sum of the carrying value of the debt at the time of the exchange. |
|
(2) Represents stock-based compensation expense and 401(k) match expense. The Company matches a portion of Exact Sciences employees' contributions annually in the form of the Company's common stock. |
|
(3) Represents acquisition and related integration costs incurred as a result of the Company's business combinations. Acquisition costs represent legal and professional fees incurred to execute the transaction. Acquisition costs for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 relate to the acquisitions of Resolution Bioscience, Inc. and PreventionGenetics, LLC, and were not significant. Integration-related costs represent expenses incurred outside regular business operations, specifically relating to the integration of businesses acquired through a business combination. This includes any gain or loss on contingent consideration liabilities, severance and accelerated vesting of stock awards, and professional services. The remeasurement of the contingent consideration liabilities resulted in a gain of $5.0 million and $18.0 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and a loss of $0.8 million and a gain of $56.6 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company also incurred severance costs and professional service fees which were not significant for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The majority of the professional service fees relate to the integration of information technology systems. |
|
(4) The Company took proactive measures to address the impact of inflation and market volatility, and also simplify the organizational structure and prioritize programs that will have the greatest impact on improving cancer care. This resulted in a reduction of the Company's workforce in the second and fourth quarters of 2022, and international operations were impacted in the first quarter of 2023. The adjustment to EBITDA represents personnel expenses incurred as a result of these proactive measures, a majority of which includes severance and accelerated stock-based compensation expense. |
|
(5) Represents impairment charges on the Company’s long-lived assets. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded insignificant impairments to building leases that were vacated during the year. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded insignificant impairments to building leases at certain of its domestic locations. The Company also recorded impairment charges on an acquired developed technology intangible asset and a supply agreement intangible asset during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. |
|
(6) Relates to the sale of the intellectual property and know-how related to the Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score® ("GPS") test to MDxHealth SA ("MDxHealth") in August 2022. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, this represents the loss on the sale of $13.2 million, $1.8 million in one-time termination benefits including severance and accelerated vesting of stock awards, and $2.3 million in legal and professional service fees incurred in the execution of the sale. In August 2023, the Company and MDxHealth executed the Second Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement related to the sale of the GPS test, resulting in additional charges. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, this represents a $4.4 million contingent consideration gain and legal and professional fees of $0.1 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, this represents a gain of $3.1 million from additional cash and equity consideration received, a $73.3 million contingent consideration gain, and $1.6 million in legal and professional service fees. |
|
(7) The Company reached settlements with the counterparties related to the Medicare Date of Service Rule Investigation ("DOS Rule Matter") and the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act qui tam lawsuit during the third quarter of 2023. The Company previously accrued $10 million in the third quarter of 2021 related to the DOS Rule Matter, and made incremental accruals in the first and second quarters of 2023 based on the Company's best estimates of the probable loss on these matters. |
|
(8) Includes costs associated with the consolidation of operations related to the closure of one of the Company's domestic laboratory facilities. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, this includes severance of $4.1 million and accelerated stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million. |
