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, such as our recent acquisitions of C2i and HalioDx, into our existing business and effectively scale their operations. The integration of acquired assets and other strategic transactions that we may pursue may impact our revenue growth, increase the cost of operations or may require management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of our existing business.

New Product Development

A significant aspect of our business is our investment in research and development activities, including activities related to the development of new tests and the ongoing development of our IVD and MRD strategies. In addition to the development of new product candidates, we believe these studies are critical to gaining clinician adoption of new products and driving favorable coverage decisions by payors for such products.
