- Full-Year Revenue Increased 120 Percent Compared to 2006 -
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Genomic Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:GHDX) today reported financial results and business progress for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.
Total revenue increased to $19.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $8.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $64.0 million compared to $29.2 million in 2006. Product revenue from Oncotype DX was $19.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Product revenue was $62.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $27.0 million in 2006. Contract revenue comprised the balance of total revenue for each of these periods.
"Throughout 2007, and particularly in the fourth quarter, we experienced significant growth in product revenue fueled by increasing physician, patient and payor adoption of Oncotype DX," said Randy Scott, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Genomic Health. "We believe that the inclusion of Oncotype DX in both the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines signals a change in the treatment paradigm for patients with early-stage breast cancer. Increasingly, physicians and patients are incorporating individualized molecular information into treatment decisions as standard practice." Additional Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2007 Financial Results Cost of product revenue was $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Cost of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $17.3 million, compared to $9.9 million in 2006.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $6.0 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2006. Research and development expenses for the full year 2007 were $22.1 million as compared to $12.8 million in 2006.
Selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $15.2 million, compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2006. Selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses for the full year 2007 were $54.3 million as compared to $37.4 million in 2006.
Included in fourth quarter 2007 operating expenses was $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense, compared to $0.9 million of stock-based compensation expense in the same period in 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for the full year was $6.4 million, compared to $3.0 million in 2006.
Net loss was $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders was $0.21 in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to a net loss per share of $0.37 per share in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $27.3 million, compared to $28.9 million in 2006. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $1.02 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a $1.18 net loss per share in 2006.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, approximately 45 percent of product revenue was recorded on an accrual basis and recognized at the time the test results were delivered, primarily reflecting established payment patterns from payors with coverage policies in place. This compares to 31 percent of product revenue recorded on an accrual basis in the third quarter of 2007.
Cash and cash equivalents and investments at December 31, 2007 were $68.4 million, compared to $44.2 million at December 31, 2006 and $73.9 million at September 30, 2007.
2008 Outlook and Financial Guidance "In 2008, we will continue to seek to broaden the clinical utility of Oncotype DX by investigating ways to appropriately expand its use to help women and their physicians with treatment decisions for breast cancer, including patients with node-positive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS," said Kim Popovits, President and Chief Operating Officer of Genomic Health. "We expect our net loss to narrow in the coming year, while we continue to invest in our product pipeline and commercial infrastructure." The Company is providing the following financial guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2008: * Deliver 34,000 to 37,000 test results;
* Revenue of $100 million to $110 million; and
* Net loss of $15 million to $20 million. Recent Highlights and Accomplishments Peer-Reviewed Publications and Medical Meeting Presentations
-- In October, ASCO included the use of Oncotype DX in updated
guidelines on the use of breast cancer tumor markers. -- NCCN, in its 2008 Breast Cancer Treatment Guidelines, included use
of Oncotype DX to set treatment planning. Oncotype DX is the only
multi-gene expression assay to be recommended by NCCN, an alliance
of 21 world-leading cancer centers dedicated to improving the
quality and effectiveness of care provided to patients with cancer. -- In December, eight studies were presented at the San Antonio Breast
Cancer Symposium (SABCS) reinforcing the clinical utility of
Oncotype DX. The SABCS presentations included a study presented by
the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG), which reported positive results
for use of Oncotype DX in early-stage estrogen receptor-positive
breast cancer patients with positive nodes. Additionally, three
studies assessing the impact of Oncotype DX on treatment decisions
concluded that use of the test resulted in less recommendation for
and use of chemotherapy, demonstrating the actionable nature of
Oncotype DX in its ability to help reduce unnecessary use of
chemotherapy. -- In December, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the
lead Federal agency charged with improving the quality, safety,
efficiency, and effectiveness of health care, released an online
report reviewing the field of genomic classifiers in breast cancer
including Oncotype DX and other tests. This report, sponsored by CDC
and prepared by the Johns Hopkins Evidence-based Practice Center,
indicates that there is strong evidence that Oncotype DX provides
meaningful information beyond standard measures to predict
recurrence and chemotherapy benefit, with demonstrated clinical
utility. Physician Usage and Adoption
-- More than 7,200 test results were delivered in the fourth quarter of
2007, compared to more than 4,450 test results delivered in the
fourth quarter of 2006. -- More than 24,450 test results were delivered in 2007 compared to
more than 14,500 in 2006, bringing the cumulative total to more than
46,500 tests since Oncotype DX became commercially available. Reimbursement Progress for Oncotype DX
-- Health plans covering greater than 70 percent of U.S. insured lives
provide reimbursement for Oncotype DX through contracts, agreements
and policy decisions. -- Medi-Cal, our first Medicaid payor, established a policy covering
approximately 6 million lives. -- Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield, a payor in upstate New York,
established a positive policy covering approximately 2 million
lives. -- Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, in the Pacific Northwest and
Mountain states, established a positive coverage policy covering
approximately 3 million lives. -- Blue Cross Blue Shield plans of Florida, Idaho, North Dakota,
Louisiana and Mississippi established policies covering
approximately 7.5 million lives. -- Great-West Healthcare, recently acquired by CIGNA, initiated a
positive policy covering approximately 2.6 million lives. Pipeline
-- Results of two studies presented at the ASCO Gastrointestinal
Cancers Symposium in January 2008 identified genes that could help
predict the likelihood of recurrence of early-stage colon cancer. Genomic Health is conducting detailed analyses of these studies to
select a refined gene set for the development of a clinical assay to
quantify the risk of recurrence and likelihood of chemotherapy
benefit for patients with early-stage colon cancer, which we expect
will be validated in an independent study later this year. -- Established an agreement with Pfizer to apply the same molecular
technology and clinical strategy used to develop Oncotype DX to
develop a genomic test to estimate the risk of recurrence following
surgery for patients with Stage I-III renal carcinoma, clear cell
type, which affects an estimated 25,000 people each year in the
United States. -- Beginning February 1, 2008, included single gene reporting for
estrogen and progesterone receptor gene expression in all Oncotype
DX reports. -- Announced plans to investigate the utility of Oncotype DX in
patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a pre-invasive form
of breast cancer that affects approximately 60,000 women per year in
the United States. Genomic Health plans to evaluate the use of the
Oncotype DX 21-gene panel and also seek to identify other genes that
may be used for treatment planning in DCIS. Conference Call Details
