**Forward-Looking Statements**

This release contains forward-looking statements, including our preliminary operational and financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The preliminary operational and financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 have not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm and are based on management's initial review of our operations and results for the completed fiscal year. These preliminary operational and financial results are subject to revision based upon our year-end closing procedures, final adjustments and the audit to be conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, our actual operational and financial results may differ materially from these preliminary results. In addition, these preliminary operational and financial results are not a comprehensive statement of our operational and financial results for the fourth quarter and for fiscal 2025, and should not be viewed as a substitute for full, audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Any forward-looking statements contained in this release are based upon Natera's current plans, estimates, and expectations as of the date of this release, and are not a representation that such plans, estimates, or expectations will be achieved. Subsequent events may cause these expectations to change, and Natera disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements in the future.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, including: our preliminary operational and financial results for the fourth quarter and for fiscal 2025 are subject to material changes and adjustments as noted above; we face numerous uncertainties and challenges in achieving our financial projections and goals; we have incurred net losses since our inception and we anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future; our quarterly results may fluctuate from period to period; our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate. Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results are discussed in greater detail in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our most recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and in other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time.
