The Performance Units will vest if (i) the recipient remains employed by the Company for three years following the date
of grant and (ii) the performance criteria determined by the Committee and/or Board are met. The Restricted Stock will vest in equal annual installments over the three-year period following the grant date, subject to the recipient’s
continued employment by the Company.
For each award of Performance Units, one-half of that portion of the award shall be earned based on achievement of a
three-year compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) target for consolidated product revenues for the fiscal year period 2016-2018 and the remaining half shall be earned based on achievement of a one-year adjusted earnings per share
(“EPS”) target for the fiscal year 2016. Both the product revenue CAGR and adjusted EPS targets exclude the impact of any potential acquisitions or divestitures by the Company. In addition, the adjusted EPS target excludes material changes
in foreign exchange rates, new legal proceedings and certain other unbudgeted events unrelated to the Company’s operations.
Vesting of both the Restricted Stock and Performance Units will be accelerated upon a change of control or in the
event of the death or disability of the recipient, with the Performance Units vesting at target performance levels if the event occurs prior to the end of a performance period or at actual levels when a performance measure has already been met, as
determined by the Committee or Board. In addition, where the recipient is terminated without cause, the Performance Units will vest on a pro-rata basis through the date of termination, with the vesting at target performance levels if the termination
occurs prior to the end of a performance period or at actual levels when a performance measure has already been met, as determined by the Committee or Board. The Annual Awards for the NEOs will be subject to the additional or different vesting
provisions and other terms of applicable employment agreements with each executive as well as the Company’s standard terms and conditions for equity awards.

OraSure Announces Record Revenues for Full-Year and Fourth Quarter 2015
BETHLEHEM, PA – February 3, 2016 – (Globe Newswire) – OraSure Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSUR), a leader in point-of-care
diagnostic tests and specimen collection devices, today announced its consolidated financial results for the full-year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Financial Highlights
| |
• |
|
Consolidated net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $32.4 million, a 13% increase from the fourth quarter of 2014. Consolidated net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $119.7 million, a 12%
increase from 2014. |
| |
• |
|
The Company’s molecular collection systems subsidiary, DNA Genotek (“DNAG”), contributed $7.8 million in net revenues during the fourth quarter of 2015, which represents a 24% increase over the fourth
quarter of 2014. Net revenues from this segment for the full-year of 2015 were $29.9 million, a 26% increase from 2014. |
| |
• |
|
Net domestic revenues from sales of the Company’s OraQuick® rapid HCV test were $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, representing a 160% increase
over the fourth quarter of 2014 and 41% sequential growth from the third quarter of 2015. Net domestic product revenues for this product were $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, a 78% increase from 2014. Total HCV-related
revenues, including exclusivity payments recognized under the HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie, were $7.4 million and $24.9 million for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2015, respectively, as compared to $5.1 million and $14.8 million for
the fourth quarter and full-year of 2014, respectively. |
| |
• |
|
Consolidated net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $4.6 million, or $0.08 per share on a fully-diluted basis, which compares to a consolidated net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per share, for the fourth quarter
of 2014. Consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $8.2 million, or $0.14 per share on a fully-diluted basis, which compares to a consolidated net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.08 per share, for 2014. The Company’s
bottom line results for the full-year of 2014 included a $5.5 million payment received as a result of the termination of the Company’s drug assay collaboration with Roche Diagnostics. This payment was recorded as an offset to expenses in the
second quarter of 2014 and did not recur in 2015. |
| |
• |
|
Cash and short-term investments totaled $101.3 million and working capital amounted to $111.5 million at December 31, 2015. |
“We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full-year 2015 performance,” said Douglas A. Michels, President and CEO of OraSure Technologies.
“Both our quarterly and annual revenues reached record levels. Our molecular collection systems and HCV product lines continue to be the primary growth drivers for our business and the strong fourth quarter finish creates a solid foundation as
we start the new year.”
Financial Results
Consolidated net product revenues for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2015 increased 13% and 6% over the comparable periods of 2014, respectively,
primarily as a result of higher sales of the Company’s molecular collection systems, OraQuick® HCV and Intercept® products. Higher
sales of the Company’s OraQuick® In-Home HIV test also contributed to the increase in current quarter revenues. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of the Company’s
OraQuick® professional HIV and cryosurgical systems products. In addition, net product revenues for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2015 included $1.0 million and $2.3 million,
respectively, in sales of the Company’s OraQuick® Ebola Rapid Antigen test. This test was not sold in 2014.
Consolidated other revenues for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2015 were $3.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively. Other revenues in the current
quarter included $3.4 million of exclusivity payments recognized under the Company’s HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie and $319,000 of Ebola-related funding received from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”). Other revenue in the full-year of 2015 included $13.5 million of AbbVie exclusivity payments and $1.8 million in
BARDA funding. Other revenues in the fourth quarter and full-year of 2014 included $3.4 million and $7.6 million of AbbVie exclusivity payments, respectively.
2
Consolidated gross margin for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 was 68% and 67%,
respectively. Consolidated gross margin for both the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 was 63%. Gross margin for the current quarter increased largely due to a reduction in royalty expense and in scrap and spoilage costs. Gross
margin for the full-year improved largely due to the $7.7 million increase in other revenues, a reduction in royalty expense, and a favorable change in the exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollar. Other revenues contributed approximately
500 and 300 basis points to gross margin for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The full-year 2015 impact of the favorable change in exchange rate was approximately $800,000, as compared to approximately $400,000 in 2014.
Consolidated operating expenses decreased to $17.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $20.5 million in the comparable period of 2014.
This decrease was largely due to lower costs associated with the AbbVie co-promotion agreement, lower research and development expenses, and a favorable change in the Canadian – U.S. dollar exchange rate.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, consolidated operating expenses were $72.2 million, an increase from the $71.4 million reported for the year ended
December 31, 2014. This increase was largely due to the absence of the $5.5 million Roche termination payment received in 2014 which was treated as an expense reduction, higher legal costs, and increased costs associated with the AbbVie
co-promotion agreement, partially offset by lower promotional expenses for the Company’s OraQuick® In-Home HIV test and the impact of a favorable change in the Canadian – U.S. dollar
exchange rate. Promotional expenses for the OraQuick® In-Home HIV test were $1.8 million and $8.5 million for the full-year of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The full-year 2015 impact of the
favorable change in exchange rate was approximately $2.0 million, as compared to $900,000 in 2014.
The Company’s cash and short-term investment
balance totaled $101.3 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $97.9 million at December 31, 2014. Working capital was $111.5 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $104.8 million at December 31, 2014. For the year ended
December 31, 2015, the Company generated $15.8 million in cash from operations.
First Quarter 2016 Outlook
The Company expects consolidated net revenues to range from $28.5 to $29.0 million and is projecting consolidated net income of between $0.01 and $0.02 per
share.

OraSure Technologies, Inc.
2015 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year
Analyst/Investor Conference Call
February 3, 2016
Prepared Remarks of Douglas A. Michels and Ronald H. Spair
Please see “Important Information” at the conclusion of the following prepared remarks.
Introduction – Doug Michels
Thank you
Rena. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to our call.
Our fourth quarter 2015 results exceeded expectations and contributed to a record performance for
the full year.
| |
• |
|
Consolidated net revenues of $32.4 million in Q4 exceeded our guidance for the quarter, driven by strong molecular collection systems and OraQuick® HCV sales.
|
| |
• |
|
Molecular collection systems revenues increased 24% from the prior year quarter. |
| |
• |
|
HCV sales increased 130% over Q4 of 2014 and 39% sequentially from Q3. Total HCV-related revenues, which include exclusivity payments under our HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie, were $7.4 million for the fourth
quarter. |
| |
• |
|
Strong revenue growth, combined with improved margins and lower operating expenses, generated $4.6 million in consolidated net income for the fourth quarter. This was the fourth consecutive quarter of profitable
performance for the Company. |
| |
• |
|
All of this led to full-year 2015 consolidated net revenues of $119.7 million and consolidated net income of $8.2 million. |
Later in the call I will provide additional highlights regarding our business. But before I do that, Ron will discuss our Q4 financial performance in greater
detail and our expectations for the first quarter of 2016.
So with that, I will turn the call over to Ron.
Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results – Ron Spair
Thanks Doug, and good afternoon everyone.
Revenues
– Ron Spair
Our fourth quarter 2015 consolidated net revenues increased 13% to $32.4 million, compared to $28.7 million reported in 2014.
Our consolidated net product revenues of $28.7 million also increased 13%, largely as a result of higher sales of our OraQuick® HCV, molecular collection systems, OraQuick® Ebola, Intercept®, and OraQuick® In-Home HIV products, partially offset by lower
sales of our OraQuick® HIV and cryosurgical systems products.
Other revenues were $3.7 million
in the current quarter, of which $3.4 million represents the recognition of exclusivity payments under the AbbVie agreement and $319,000 represents revenue associated with Ebola-related funding we received from the Biomedical Advanced Research and
Development Authority, or BARDA. Other revenues in the fourth quarter of 2014 also included $3.4 million of AbbVie exclusivity payments.
HCV product
revenues increased 130% to $4.0 million in Q4 from $1.7 million in the prior year. Domestic OraQuick® HCV product sales increased 160% in the fourth quarter of 2015 to $2.7 million from $1.0
million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to a large order of product purchased for deployment to the federal government as part of an HCV testing program. We also saw an expansion of our core domestic HCV revenues through
the addition of new HCV customers and higher sales to current customers who have expanded their HCV testing programs. International sales of our HCV test in the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 85% to $1.3 million from $707,000 in the same period
last year, primarily due to the expansion of our HCV business in Asia and the timing of purchases by a multi-national humanitarian organization. Total HCV-related revenues, including the AbbVie exclusivity payments, increased 44% to $7.4 million in
the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.

In 2015, we began selling our OraQuick® Ebola Rapid
Antigen test to the CDC for field testing in Africa. Sales of this product contributed $1.0 million in product revenues during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Domestic sales of our professional HIV product decreased 19% to $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of
2014. This decrease was the result of customers continuing to move some of their testing to 4th generation automated HIV immunoassays or to competitive point-of-care HIV tests that are perceived
to be more sensitive. We expect continued pressure on our professional HIV business.
Sales of our
OraQuick® In-Home test rose 38% to $2.1 million in the current period from $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, largely due to an increase in sales volume in the period immediately
following a celebrity’s announcement that he had tested positive for the HIV virus, a price increase implemented last August and the timing of orders placed by our retail trade customers.
Our molecular collection systems revenues, primarily representing sales of the Oragene® product line
in the genomics market, increased 24% to $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $6.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Commercial sales increased 37% primarily as a result of higher sales into the personal genome service market,
partially offset by a decline in sales to two other commercial customers. Sales to academic customers decreased 11%, largely due to customer ordering patterns.
Substance abuse testing revenues rose 19% to $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $2.3 million in 2014. This increase is largely due to
higher sales of our Intercept® device into the workplace testing market.
Fourth quarter 2015
cryosurgical revenues decreased 12% to $3.0 million from $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Domestic sales of our professional product decreased 51% to $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $2.1 million in
3
the fourth quarter of 2014 due to distributor consolidation, competition from new private-label brands, and a large purchase in the fourth quarter of 2014 by one our distributors that did not
repeat in 2015. Sales of our OTC products in the international markets increased 66% to $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily due to ordering patterns of our European
distributor.
Gross Margin – Ron Spair
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 68% compared to 63% reported for the fourth quarter of 2014. Margin for the current quarter benefited from
reductions in royalty expenses and scrap and spoilage costs.
Operating Expenses – Ron Spair
Our consolidated operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $17.8 million compared to $20.5 million in the comparable period of 2014. This decrease
was the result of lower detailing costs associated with our HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie, lower research and development spending and a favorable change in the exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollars.
Net Income – Ron Spair
From a bottom
line perspective, we reported net income of $4.6 million, or $0.08 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period of 2014.
Cash Flow from Operations and Liquidity – Ron Spair
Turning briefly to our balance sheet and cash flow, we continue to maintain a solid cash and liquidity position. Our cash and short-term investment balance at
December 31, 2015 was $101.3 million compared to $97.9 million at December 31, 2014. Cash generated by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $667,000 compared to $858,000 million used in operating activities in the fourth
quarter of 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we used $4.9 million in cash to buy back stock under our previously authorized stock repurchase program.

First Quarter 2016 Consolidated Financial Guidance – Ron Spair
Turning to guidance for the first quarter of 2016, we are projecting consolidated net revenues of approximately $28.5 to $29.0 million. We are also projecting
consolidated net income of approximately $0.01 to $0.02 per share. Our expectations for Q1 include a $1.1 million order for OraQuick® HIV and HCV devices that had been received from a public
health jurisdiction that normally orders at the end of their fiscal year. We had mentioned this order on the last call as potentially being realized in Q4 2015.
And with that, I will now turn the call back over to Doug.
Business Update – Doug Michels
Thanks, Ron.
Molecular Collection Systems – Doug
Michels
As noted earlier in the call, DNA Genotek continued the strong performance delivered in prior periods. Full-year revenues of $29.9
million increased 26% over 2014.
Genomics Market
As discussed previously, the bulk of our molecular collection systems revenues are generated in the genomics market, which consists of both academic research
and commercial customers. Historically, these revenues have been split approximately 65% commercial and 35% academic research, and this pattern continued in 2015. Q4 revenue growth was driven almost entirely from sales into the U.S. commercial
market.
The continued growth in the genomics market has been driven by sales to existing customers and an increasing amount of new opportunities. In
fact, our business is developing a much more diversified base of accounts in this market, which we believe is very promising.

For example:
| |
• |
|
In 2015, we were chosen to provide collection kits, custom packaging and fulfillment services for a large study on autism. The aim of this study is to build the largest genomic database for autism research in the world.
Recruitment of participants for this study is expected to begin in 2016. |
| |
• |
|
We are also selling products to a personal genomics company providing services to the people of China. Our product line will be used to conduct genetic analysis of ancestral traits, health risks, disease screening, drug
reactions, genetic characteristics and nutrition metabolism. We are excited about this opportunity and the chance to expand our business in this important marketplace. |

Finally, we are participating in a major longitudinal study on the epidemiology of aging, which has been collecting data since 2002 on adults aged 50 and over from nationally representative samples in several countries.
Data collection has included a number of components and now a genetic component will be added through the use of our OraGene® kit. |
These are just a few examples of some of the increasingly diverse revenue opportunities we are seeing in the genomics marketplace.
Microbiome Market
Another area of focus for our
molecular collection business has been the microbiome market, through the offering of our OMNIgeneTM ● Gut product. During 2015, we received CE mark approval and completed design validation
on a high-throughput automated processing system for this product. Several technical manuscripts with academic and biotech groups are also in process which will report on the ability of this product to “snapshot” microbiome communities at
the point of collection. We sold our collection kit to over 100 customers in 2015 and generated over $500,000 of revenue. Many of these customers were known to us through our genomics business and thus demonstrate the value of our broad brand
recognition and pre-existing relationships.
In order to gain further insight into the microbiome market, we recently appointed Dr. Dan Knight as a
scientific advisor to our DNA Genotek team. Dr. Knight is a
6
computational microbiologist and a leading authority in the application of machine learning to discovering linkages between microbiome, environment and human disease. He is an assistant professor
at the University of Minnesota and received a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado with post-doctoral fellowships at M.I.T. and Harvard. We believe Dr. Knight’s insight and assistance will be invaluable as we work to expand our microbiome
product and service offerings.
We are excited about the microbiome market and, in fact, we see similarities to our genomics business, where there was
initially a strong academic research opportunity early in the market’s development followed by commercial applications as the market matures. We believe there is a significant long-term opportunity in the microbiome market.
Tuberculosis
A final market our team at DNA
Genotek is pursuing falls under the infectious disease umbrella and is focused on tuberculosis. Products offered in this space include the OMNIgeneTM ● Sputum and PrepITTM MAX products. Healthcare providers from more than 60 countries have expressed interest in evaluating these products and more than 20 entities, ranging from Ministries of Health, non-government
organizations, donor agencies and diagnostic test developers, have begun their evaluations of our product offerings.
A major milestone in 2015 was a
collaboration among various organizations to support future World Health Organization endorsement of our tuberculosis products. Once secured, this endorsement will enable countries to procure our products with funding provided by the Global Fund and
other international funding agencies. Our tuberculosis products are well positioned to support the National Action Plan for combatting multi drug-resistant tuberculosis, recently announced by the Obama Administration, by providing much needed
solutions to developing countries that are at the highest risk for multi-drug resistant tuberculosis.
We are excited about the potential opportunities in
this market, and we are realistic about the complexity involved in achieving commercial success. It will likely take some time for this opportunity to translate into meaningful financial results.

Infectious Disease Testing – Doug Michels
Turning more broadly to our core infectious disease testing business, revenues were up 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. As Ron explained, strong
growth in OraQuick® HCV sales more than offset declines in our domestic professional HIV business. Although the trends in our HIV business are likely to continue, we do see opportunities for
growth, primarily in the international marketplace.
During the past several years, we have been working to develop a lower cost version of our HIV
self-test for use in certain countries. We now have a working model that has the same robust diagnostic capabilities of our U.S. approved test. Specifically, we are working with Population Services International (“PSI”), a leading global
health organization, along with UNITAID, the World Health Organization and health officials from Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe to launch the UNITAID- PSI HIV Self-Testing in Africa, or “STAR”, project. As part of STAR, PSI is implementing a
four-year pilot program funded by UNITAID which will utilize a self-test that we have specifically tailored for the African marketplace. The purpose of the STAR project is to generate crucial information about how best to deliver HIV self-testing,
how to generate demand for HIV testing in this manner and what the potential public health impact of self-testing will be. Initial research indicates that the rates of people accepting a self-testing approach in Africa are much higher than
traditional HIV testing programs. Our test was chosen for the PSI pilot because of its quality, ease-of-use and oral fluid option. We expect initial shipments to PSI during the first quarter of 2016.
As noted earlier, HCV sales for the quarter grew nicely, with total revenues up 130% from the fourth quarter of 2014. Q4 revenues were also up 39%
sequentially from the third quarter of 2015. From a full-year perspective, our total HCV product revenues grew 57% compared to the prior year.
Our fourth
quarter HCV sales reflect strong growth in both the domestic and international markets. Higher domestic sales were driven by expansion of existing testing programs,
8
new programs in the public health market, and new pilot initiatives in populations with high prevalence. As Ron mentioned, we also filled a large order that will be deployed for a federal
government screening initiative. It is not clear whether purchases for this program will repeat in 2016. Internationally, we experienced higher sales in Asia and we received additional orders from the large multi-national healthcare organization we
have been supplying product to in prior periods.
Turning briefly to our HIV In-Home Test, we are pleased with the performance of this product line,
particularly its full-year contribution. Full-year sales increased 8% from 2014 and, more importantly, this brand generated a net profit contribution of $1.5 million for the year. Throughout 2015, we focused on developing programs for deployment in
the public health market. At least one major public health customer has launched such a program and we expect continued revenues from this customer and possibly others in 2016.
Finally, we are pleased to see that our Ebola product contributed a total of $4.0 million in revenues in 2015, which includes BARDA funding and initial
product sales to the CDC. More importantly, this product represents a crucial new diagnostic tool that the CDC is now using in West Africa in support of ongoing surveillance efforts. It is important to note that while great strides have been made to
contain the Ebola epidemic, new cases continue to appear and, unfortunately, deaths continue to occur. There is an ongoing need for surveillance and as a result, we believe the role for an accurate, rapid point-of-care Ebola test is just as
important as ever. We are working to expand the claims and related regulatory approvals for our Ebola test and will continue to seek sustainable and substantial product purchase commitments throughout 2016.
Conclusion
So in closing, 2015 was a great
year for OraSure. Strong revenue growth, full-year profitability and continued improvement of our molecular collection systems and OraQuick® HCV businesses were the major highlights. We expect
the momentum in these segments to continue. Opportunities for additional growth also exist in the
9
microbiome and tuberculosis markets and, possibly, for our rapid Ebola test. We will continue to build upon our success in 2015 by driving deeper penetration in our existing markets and execute
on exciting new market opportunities in 2016. Thank you again for your continued interest in our work.
And with that, I will now open the floor to your
questions. Operator, please proceed.
