 include, but are not limited to:

•the number of samples that we receive that meet the medical indication for each test performed;

•the quantity and quality of the sample received;

•receipt of the necessary documentation, such as physician order and patient consent, required to perform, bill and collect for our tests;

•the patient's ability to pay or provide necessary insurance coverage for the tests performed;

•the time it takes us or our customers to perform our tests and report the results, including as a result of supply chain challenges (including quality of single-source reagents);

•the seasonality inherent in our business, such as the impact of workdays per period, timing of industry conferences and timing of when patient deductibles are exceeded, which also impacts the reimbursement we receive from insurers; 

•fluctuations in demand for our product test kits, including as a result of higher average selling prices and overall spending constraints across our industry; and

•our ability to obtain prior authorization or meet other requirements instituted by payers, benefit managers, or regulators necessary to be paid for our tests.

Continued Adoption of and Reimbursement for our Products

Revenue growth depends on our ability to secure coverage decisions, achieve broader reimbursement from third-party payers, expand our base of prescribing physicians and increase our penetration in existing accounts. Because some payers consider our products experimental and investigational, we may not receive payment for tests and payments we receive may not be at acceptable levels. We expect our revenue growth to increase if more payers make a positive coverage decision and as payers enter into contracts with us, which should enhance our revenue and cash collections. Our sales teams are aligned under our general manager-based structure to focus on specific products and global markets. If we are unable to expand the base of prescribing physicians and penetration within these accounts at an acceptable rate, or if we are not able to execute our strategy for increasing reimbursement and associated collections, we may not be able to effectively increase our revenue. We expect to continue to see pressure from payers to limit the utilization of tests, generally, and we believe more payers are deploying cost containment tactics, such as pre-authorization, reduction of the payer portion of reimbursement and employing laboratory benefit managers to reduce utilization rates. Revenue growth also depends on our ability to secure reimbursement from government payers at a reimbursement rate that is consistent with past reimbursement rates.

Integrating Acquisitions

Revenue growth, operational results and advances to our business strategy depends on our ability to integrate any acquisitions into our existing business and effectively scale their operations
