Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Foundation Medicine, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”), is a commercial-stage company focused on fundamentally changing the way patients with cancer are treated. The Company derives revenue from selling products enabled by its molecular information platform to physicians and biopharmaceutical companies. This platform includes proprietary methods and algorithms for analyzing tissue samples across all types of cancer, as well as information aggregation and concise reporting capabilities. These products provide genomic information about each patient’s individual disease, enabling physicians to optimize treatments in clinical practice and enabling biopharmaceutical companies to develop targeted oncology therapies more effectively. The Company’s first clinical products, FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme, are the only commercially available comprehensive molecular information products designed for use in routine care of patients with cancer.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments considered normal and recurring and necessary for their fair statement. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included information and footnotes necessary for such presentation and were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on March 7, 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of accounting policies

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include bank demand deposits and money market funds that invest primarily in U.S. government treasuries. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value.

 

4. Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of deposits securing collateral letters of credit issued in connection with the Company’s operating leases. The Company had restricted cash of $1,725,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

5. Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis and are comprised of the following (in thousands):

8. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, preferred stock, stock options, unvested restricted stock and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents, but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders was the same for all periods presented.

Upon closing of the Company’s initial public offering on September 30, 2013, all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were converted into 17,128,024 shares of its common stock.

The following potential common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because the inclusion thereof would be antidilutive.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), establishes a hierarchy of inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect a company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used in determining the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The hierarchy defines three levels of valuation inputs:

 

Level 1 inputs    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 inputs    Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 inputs    Unobservable inputs that reflect the company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs based on the observable nature of those inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of the instruments or, in the case of the notes payable, because the interest rates the Company believes it could obtain for similar borrowings is similar to its existing interest rates.

The following tables present information about our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

The Company measures eligible assets and liabilities at fair value, with changes in value recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to remeasure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities, and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities transacted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

In November 2009, the Company issued 2,125,000 shares of common stock to the founders of the Company for consideration equal to the par value per share, the then estimated fair value of the common stock. The founders entered into restricted stock agreements whereby the shares of common stock issued were subject to vesting and became fully vested in 2013. An additional 112,500 shares of common stock subject to repurchase were issued to employees and consultants at fair value during the year ended December 31, 2010. Shares subject to repurchase by the Company are recorded as a liability at their original purchase price. Shares subject to repurchase that were issued to non-employees are revalued at each vesting date and at the end of the reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis. As the Company’s right to repurchase the shares lapses, the liability is reclassified as additional paid-in capital. The following table shows a roll forward of restricted stock activity outside of the 2010 Stock Plan and the 2013 Stock Plan, as defined and discussed below:

2010 and 2013 Stock Incentive Plans

In 2010, the Company adopted the Foundation Medicine, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Stock Plan”) under which it granted restricted stock, incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-statutory stock options to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants to purchase up to 1,162,500 shares of common stock. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company amended the 2010 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance to 4,232,500.

In 2013, the Company adopted the Foundation Medicine, Inc. 2013 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2013 Stock Plan”) under which it may grant restricted and unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, ISOs, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, cash-based awards, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights to eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants to purchase up to 1,355,171 shares of common stock. In connection with the establishment of the 2013 Stock Plan, the Company terminated the 2010 Stock Plan and the 512,568 shares available for grant under the 2010 Stock Plan were included in the number of shares authorized under the 2013 Stock Plan. Shares forfeited or repurchased from the 2010 Stock Plan are returned to the 2013 Stock Plan for future issuance. On January 1, 2014, the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2013 Stock Plan increased by 1,125,921 shares of common stock pursuant to a provision in the 2013 Stock Plan that provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2014, by 4% of the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number as determined by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

The terms of stock award agreements, including vesting requirements, are determined by the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of the 2010 Stock Plan and the 2013 Stock Plan. Options granted by the Company typically vest over a four-year period. Certain of the options are subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of certain change of control transactions. The options are exercisable from the date of grant for a period of 10 years. For options granted to date, the exercise price equaled the estimated fair value of the common stock as determined by the Board of Directors on the date of grant.

Restricted Stock

The 2010 Stock Plan and the 2013 Stock Plan allow for granting of restricted stock awards. For restricted stock granted to employees, the intrinsic value on the date of grant is recognized as stock-based compensation expense ratably over the period in which the restrictions lapse. For restricted stock granted to non-employees the intrinsic value is remeasured at each vesting date and at the end of the reporting period. No restricted stock awards have been granted pursuant to the 2013 Stock Plan. The following table shows a roll forward of restricted stock activity pursuant to the 2010 Stock Plan:

11. Commitments and Contingencies

One Kendall Square

In May 2010, the Company commenced a facility lease which was due to expire in October 2015. In November 2013, the Company terminated this lease effective October 31, 2013 (the “Surrender Date”). The Company paid rent, operating expenses and other charges due under the facility lease through the Surrender Date. The Company recorded $0 and $219,000 of rent expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, associated with this lease.

150 Second Street

In 2013, the Company signed two facility leases. The first lease commenced in March 2013 and had a one year expected term which was terminated in October 2013. The second lease commenced in September 2013 and initially had an eight year expected term. The second lease is subject to fixed rate escalation increases and the landlord waived the Company’s rent obligation for the first 10.5 months of the lease, having an initial value of $3,300,000. The landlord also agreed to fund up to $9,239,000 in tenant improvements. The Company recorded the tenant improvements as assets and deferred rent on the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred rent is amortized as a reduction in rent expense over the term of the lease agreement. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. In connection with the Company’s termination of the lease at One Kendall Square, the rent abatement was reduced to approximately $1,841,000 and the expected lease term was reduced to 7.5 years. The Company began to record rent expense in April 2013 upon gaining access to and control of the space. Upon execution of the lease agreement, the Company paid a security deposit of $1,725,000, which is included in restricted cash as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company recorded $814,000 and $0 of rent expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, associated with this lease.

Legal Matters

The Company, from time to time, is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, the Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company based on the status of proceedings at this time.

 

12. Related Party Transactions

Since inception, the Company has received consulting and management services from an investor. The Company paid this investor approximately $0 and $91,000 for these services during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Of these amounts, $0 and $7,000 of amounts due to the investor were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company recognized revenue of $277,000 and $364,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from an arrangement with an investor executed in the year ended December 31, 2012. Of these amounts, $117,000 and $0 were included in accounts receivable at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a commercial-stage company focused on fundamentally changing the way patients with cancer are treated. We derive revenue from selling products enabled by our molecular information platform to physicians and biopharmaceutical companies. Our platform includes proprietary methods and algorithms for analyzing tumor tissue samples across all types of cancer, as well as information aggregation and concise reporting capabilities. Our products provide genomic information about each patient’s individual cancer, enabling physicians to optimize treatments in clinical practice and enabling biopharmaceutical companies to develop targeted oncology therapies more effectively.

Our first clinical products, FoundationOne, for solid tumors, and FoundationOne Heme, for blood-based cancers, or hematologic malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, as well as many sarcomas and pediatric cancers, are, to our knowledge, the only commercially available comprehensive molecular information products designed for use in the routine care of patients with cancer. In November 2011, we first offered for sale FoundationOne for clinical use to a limited network of key oncology thought leaders and their colleagues and leading academic centers. We then commenced our formal commercial launch of FoundationOne for solid tumors in June 2012 and launched FoundationOne Heme in December 2013. Prior to commercial sales of FoundationOne for clinical use, we generated revenue from our molecular information platform under relationships with biopharmaceutical partners, starting in December 2010. Our molecular information platform is currently used by 18 biopharmaceutical partners to enhance the development of targeted oncology therapies. To accelerate our growth and enhance our competitive advantage, we are expanding our sales force, publishing scientific and medical advances, fostering relationships throughout the oncology community, and developing new products.

We have experienced rapid adoption of FoundationOne. More than 2,100 physicians from large academic centers and community-based practices have ordered FoundationOne since its formal commercial launch in June 2012. We believe this rapid adoption of FoundationOne, accomplished with a nascent sales team, demonstrates the demand for and utility of a single comprehensive product that helps oncologists effectively implement the promise of precision medicine.

Since our inception in 2009, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the development of our molecular information platform, the commercialization of FoundationOne, and the development of new products such as FoundationOne Heme. We have incurred significant losses since our inception, and as of March 31, 2014 our accumulated deficit was $101.9 million. We expect to continue to incur operating losses over the near term as we expand our commercial operations, conduct clinical trials, and invest in our molecular information platform and additional products.

Recent Developments

On April 3, 2014, we and Clovis Oncology, Inc., or Clovis, announced an agreement to implement a coordinated regulatory strategy for the development of a novel Premarket Approval (PMA) companion diagnostic test. This test is designed for use by physicians to identify patients most likely to respond to rucaparib, Clovis’ poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor currently the subject of Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials in patients with ovarian cancer. This companion diagnostic is being developed in parallel with the clinical development of rucaparib to facilitate an FDA submission of the PMA for the companion diagnostic concurrent with the New Drug Application (NDA) for rucaparib. Under the terms of the agreement, we will build a dedicated laboratory to support the development and FDA-approval of the companion diagnostic test and will receive milestone payments for its successful development and registration.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

We derive our revenue from selling products that are enabled by our molecular information platform. The information provided in our test results is branded as FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme for our clinical customers and is not branded for our biopharmaceutical customers. The principal focus of our commercial operations is to continue to drive adoption of products enabled by our molecular information platform. In particular, we seek to increase sales volume of FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme in the clinical setting and increase the volume of tests enabled by our molecular information platform that we perform for our biopharmaceutical customers.

Table of Contents

For many physician orders within the United States, the payment we ultimately receive depends upon the rate of reimbursement from commercial third-party payors and government payors. We are not currently a participating provider with any commercial third-party payors and therefore do not have specific coverage decisions for our products with established payment rates. Currently, commercial third-party payors reimburse our claims based upon the stacked CPT codes, the predominant methodology, or based on other methods such as percentages of charges or other formulas that are not made known to us. In addition, a small portion of payors outsource our claims to preferred provider organizations or third-party administrators, who process our claims and pay us directly at negotiated rates. Coverage and payment is determined by the third-party payor on a case-by-case basis. We are not currently a participating provider in any state Medicaid program and therefore do not have coverage decisions under which our test is covered by these Medicaid programs. We are a participating provider in the Medicare program but we do not have a coverage decision. At the end of 2013, we began the process of submitting claims for our tests to Medicare. We may also negotiate rates with patients, if the patient is responsible for payment. Our efforts in obtaining reimbursement based on individual claims, including pursuing appeals or reconsiderations of claim denials, take a substantial amount of time, and bills may not be paid for many months or at all. Furthermore, if a third-party payor denies coverage after final appeal, payment may not be received at all.

We currently recognize revenue on a cash basis from commercial third-party payors and from patients who make co-payments, pay deductibles, or pay other amounts that we have been unable to collect from their third-party payors because the payment is not fixed or determinable and collectability is not reasonably assured, as a result of the fact that we do not have coverage decisions in place and have a limited history of collecting claims. We expect to use judgment in assessing whether the fee is fixed or determinable and whether collectability is reasonably assured as we continue to gain payment experience with third-party payors and patients. Costs associated with performing tests are recorded as tests are processed. These costs are recorded regardless of when or whether revenue is recognized with respect to those tests. Because we currently recognize revenue on a cash basis from commercial third-party payors, the costs of those FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme tests are recognized in advance of any associated revenues. Due to the increasing period-to-period test volumes that we have observed to date, our revenue from these payors is lower and our net loss is higher than if we were recognizing revenue from these payors on an accrual basis in the period during which the work was performed and costs were incurred.

There are currently no national coverage decisions that determine whether and how our tests are covered by Medicare. In the absence of national coverage decisions, local Medicare contractors that administer the Medicare program in various regions have some discretion in determining coverage and therefore payment for tests. Our local Medicare contractor, who would process our claims on behalf of Medicare, requested that we not submit claims for FoundationOne tests provided to Medicare patients while the contractor assessed the appropriate coverage and payment for FoundationOne as a whole. Based on the volume of our Medicare claims, we began the process of submitting claims to Medicare in November 2013, but we have not generated any revenue from Medicare for our FoundationOne or FoundationOne Heme tests to date. As a result our net loss is higher than if we were recognizing revenue from the sale of our products for patients covered by Medicare. FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme tests for patients covered by Medicare represented approximately 31% and 28% of total tests reported to physicians in the United States during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

We are seeking a positive coverage determination from our Medicare contractor, which, if obtained, will establish a standard for the reimbursement for our Medicare claims. At the end of 2013, we commenced the process of submitting claims to Medicare for FoundationOne tests provided to Medicare patients, and subsequently during the first quarter of 2014 we commenced the process of submitting claims to Medicare for FoundationOne Heme tests provided to Medicare patients. As of March 31, 2014 we have not been reimbursed by our Medicare contractor for the claims that we have submitted, and we are in the process of appealing these unpaid claims. In the future, our Medicare contractor may issue a negative coverage determination for FoundationOne and/or FoundationOne Heme that would apply to future claims or may defer processing a claim pending a coverage or payment determination. If a claim is paid by our Medicare contractor, either upon acceptance of the claim or following a successful appeal of a denied claim, we will generate revenue from Medicare for our testing.

We expect that the current lack of coverage decisions and the uncertainty of reimbursement on a case-by-case basis may continue to negatively impact our revenue and earnings, particularly as FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme test volumes increase period-to-period. Following our achievement of a coverage decision from a commercial third-party payor or government payor or once we have a sufficient history of claims collections with any such payor that we conclude the fee for FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme tests for individuals insured by such payor is sufficiently fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, we will begin to recognize revenue from such payor on an accrual basis. As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $110.3 million. We do not believe that the adverse impact on our liquidity related to the absence of coverage decisions from commercial third-party payors and government payors will materially adversely affect our business or prospects over at least the next 12 months and likely not for the foreseeable future. If we are not able to obtain coverage decisions from commercial third-party payors and government payors over the longer term, and our available cash balances and cash flow from claims for reimbursement on behalf of each patient on a case-by-case basis and other operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

We recognize revenue from the sale of our products to certain hospitals, cancer centers, other institutions, and patients at the time results are reported to physicians if all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

We also receive a small portion of revenue from patients who make co-payments and pay deductibles. In addition, while we take on the primary responsibility for obtaining third-party reimbursement on behalf of patients, including appeals for any initial denials, we ultimately do bill patients for amounts that we have been unable to collect from their third-party payors. We recently initiated the process to seek reimbursement from Medicare, and we may also decide to provide appropriate notices to patients covered by Medicare to enable us to bill a patient for all or part of a claim that is denied coverage by our Medicare contractor. We offer a comprehensive patient assistance program to support patients whose incomes are below certain thresholds and to allow for extended payment terms, as necessary, given the patient’s economic situation.

Revenue from our biopharmaceutical customers are based on a negotiated price per test or on the basis of agreements to provide certain testing volumes or other deliverables over defined periods. We recognize revenue upon delivery of the test results, or over the period that testing volume or other deliverables are provided, as appropriate.

We expect our revenue to increase over time as we expand our commercial efforts within and outside of the United States. Positive reimbursement decisions from commercial third-party payors and government payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid, would eliminate much of the uncertainty around payment, should allow us to recognize revenue earlier, and increase our overall revenue growth from ordering physicians within the United States. We also expect to grow our biopharmaceutical customer base. Over time, we expect that our revenue from ordering physicians within and outside of the United States will significantly exceed revenue from our biopharmaceutical customers, given the higher percentage of patients with cancer who are treated outside of clinical trial settings.

Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses

We allocate certain overhead expenses, such as rent, utilities, and depreciation to cost of revenue and operating expense categories based on headcount and facility usage. As a result, an overhead expense allocation is reflected in cost of revenue and each operating expense category.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of personnel expenses, including salary, bonuses, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expenses, cost of laboratory supplies, depreciation of laboratory equipment and amortization of leasehold improvements, shipping costs, and certain allocated overhead expenses. We expect these costs will increase in absolute dollars as we increase our sales volume, but will decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as our sales increase and we gain operating efficiencies.

Costs associated with performing tests are recorded as tests are processed. These costs are recorded regardless of whether revenue is recognized with respect to those tests. Because we currently recognize revenue on a cash basis from commercial third-party payors and patients who make co-payments, pay deductibles or pay other amounts that we have been unable to collect from their insurers, the costs of those tests are often recognized in advance of any associated revenues.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Our sales and marketing expenses include costs associated with our sales organization, including our direct sales force and sales management, client services, marketing, reimbursement, and business development personnel who are focused on our biopharmaceutical customers. These expenses consist principally of salaries, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits, travel, and stock-based compensation, as well as marketing and educational activities, and allocated overhead expenses. We expense all sales and marketing costs as incurred.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our sales and marketing expenses represented approximately 50% and 35%, respectively, of our total revenue. We expect our sales and marketing costs to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our sales force, increase our presence within and outside of the United States, and increase our marketing activities to drive further awareness and adoption of FoundationOne, FoundationOne Heme, and any future products we may develop. In the short-term, our sales and marketing costs may also increase as a percentage of total revenues as we make these investments.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses include costs for our executive, accounting and finance, legal, and human resources functions. These expenses consist principally of salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, travel, and stock-based compensation, as well as professional services fees such as consulting, audit, tax, legal and billing fees, and general corporate costs and allocated overhead expenses. We expense all general and administrative expenses as incurred.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase, primarily due to the costs of operating as a public company, including additional legal, accounting, corporate governance, and investor relations expenses, higher directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums, and an increase in billing costs related to our anticipated increase in revenues.

Table of Contents

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for new product research and development, significant product improvements, clinical trials to evaluate the clinical utility of FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme, the development of our knowledgebase for genomic and clinical data, and the development of our online tools, such as our online portal and mobile applications for Interactive Cancer Explorer. Costs to develop our online tools are recorded as research and development unless they meet the criteria to be capitalized as internal-use software costs. Our research and development activities include the following costs:

 

    personnel-related expenses such as salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, and stock-based compensation;

 

    fees for contractual and consulting services;

 

    costs to manage and synthesize our medical data and to expand our knowledgebase;

 

    clinical trials;

 

    laboratory supplies; and

 

    allocated overhead expenses.

We expect that our overall research and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to innovate our molecular information platform, develop additional products, expand our genomic and medical data management resources, and conduct our ongoing and new clinical trials.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense on our loan balance and the amortization of debt discounts. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, interest income was not material.

Revenue

Total revenue increased to $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Revenue from FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme tests reported to our ordering physicians increased to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was driven by our growing test volumes and expanding commercialization efforts. The increase in revenue from our biopharmaceutical customers from $2.9 million to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, resulted from increased business development activity among our new and existing biopharmaceutical customers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we reported 4,702 tests to ordering physicians, including 715 FoundationOne Heme tests, as compared to 1,140 FoundationOne tests reported during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We also reported 851 and 595 tests to our biopharmaceutical customers during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Table of Contents

The average revenue per test for clinical use that met our revenue recognition criteria during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $3,400. This average revenue per test does not include 1,153 FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme tests reported during the period for patients covered by Medicare, 119 tests that were reported and not billed, and 2,141 tests that were reported and billed to commercial third party payors during the period but were not paid during the period. This average revenue per test includes 827 tests reported in prior periods for which revenue was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The average revenue per FoundationOne test for clinical use that met our revenue recognition criteria during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $3,600. This average revenue per test does not include 241 FoundationOne tests reported during the period for patients covered by Medicare and for which claims were not submitted, 29 tests that were reported and not billed, and 511 tests that were reported and billed to commercial third party payors during the period but were not paid during the period. This average revenue per test includes 263 tests reported in prior periods for which revenue was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Our average revenue per FoundationOne test excludes tests for which we have not yet recognized revenue. Because we recognize revenue on a cash basis from commercial third-party payors and from patients who make co-payments, and our efforts to obtain payment for individual claims can take a substantial amount of time, there is typically a significant lag between the time the FoundationOne test is reported and the time we actually recognize the revenue from such test. As a result, if we were to include tests for which we have not recognized revenue in our average revenue per test calculation for a particular period, it would imply that we will not receive any revenue for such tests. Despite our lack of coverage decisions, we have been reasonably successful in securing reimbursement from commercial third-party payors for tests reported in prior periods. With respect to tests reported for patients covered by Medicare, we commenced the process of submitting claims to Medicare for these tests in November 2013 and have not yet been reimbursed for these claims. We also expect to record revenue from patients who make co-payments, pay deductibles, or pay other amounts that we have been unable to collect from third-party payors. While receipt of payment from third-party payors and patients in respect of these claims is not currently fixed or determinable and collectability is not reasonably assured, we do expect to record revenue in the future for some of the tests reported in this period. However, it is difficult to predict future revenue from the previously reported FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme tests because we are in an early stage of commercialization and we have limited payment history. As a result, we cannot be certain that the revenue per test we recognize in the future will equal or exceed the average revenue per test reported above.

The cumulative amount of FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme tests that have been billed to commercial third-party payors and reported for patients covered by Medicare but for which we have not recognized revenue was 4,514 and 2,738, respectively, as of March 31, 2014. If commercial third-party payors or government payors agree to pay us for these tests in the future, we will recognize revenue for such tests in the period in which our revenue recognition criteria are met. Any revenue that we receive in respect of these previously reported tests will favorably impact our liquidity and results of operations in future periods.

For our biopharmaceutical customer revenue that was based on a negotiated price per test, the average revenue per test was approximately $3,700 and $3,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We expect this average revenue per test for biopharmaceutical customers to remain fairly consistent over time. Approximately $2.9 million and $1.8 million of our biopharmaceutical revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, represented payments under contracts with multiple element arrangements that were not negotiated on a price per test basis.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue increased to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was driven by increasing test volumes from our ordering physicians and biopharmaceutical customers. The average cost per test does not differ materially by customer. Additional volume led to higher reagent and consumable costs, additional laboratory personnel-related costs, and higher depreciation expense related to new equipment purchases. During both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our cost of revenue represented approximately 46% of our total revenue. We expect to make additional investments in personnel, infrastructure, and systems to scale our laboratory operations to meet future anticipated demand.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.8 million in personnel-related costs related to 33 new employees in our sales, marketing, client service, and reimbursement departments, a $0.5 million increase in travel-related costs, a $0.2 million increase in consulting, and a $0.4 million increase in various other expenses.

Table of Contents

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $1.4 million combined increase in legal, consulting, audit, and billing fees, a $0.7 million increase in rent and other facilities costs, a $0.3 million increase in personnel costs to support and expand our legal, finance, and human resources infrastructure, and a $0.1 million increase in various other expenses.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in employee and contractor-related expenses, a $0.4 million increase in rent and other facilities costs, a $0.2 million increase in clinical trial expenses, and a $0.4 million increase in technology investments related to data management, FoundationOne report design and functionality, and customer interface development, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in research-related lab supplies and materials.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $25,000 and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net was immaterial for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception in November 2009, and as of March 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $101.9 million.

We have funded our operations principally from the sale of common stock and preferred stock, product revenue and the incurrence of indebtedness. Since we have not received a coverage decision for FoundationOne or FoundationOne Heme from any commercial third-party payors and have a limited history of collecting claims, we currently recognize revenue on a cash basis from commercial third-party payors. We will continue to make requests for payment and/or appeal payment decisions made by commercial third-party payors. In addition, FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme are not currently covered by Medicare, and we have not received payment on the claims we have submitted to Medicare. If commercial third-party payors or government payors agree to pay us for these tests in the future, we would recognize revenue for such tests in the period in which our revenue recognition criteria are met.

On September 30, 2013, we closed our initial public offering which resulted in the sale of 6,772,221 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $18.00 per share, before underwriting discounts, including 883,333 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares at the public offering price to cover over-allotments. We received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $110.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and expenses payable by us.

As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $110.3 million. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested in accordance with our investment policy, primarily with a view to liquidity and capital preservation. These excess funds are held in money market mutual funds consisting of U.S. government-backed securities.

We have occasionally received letters from third parties inviting us to take licenses under, or alleging that we infringe, their patents. While any potential infringement claims could pose an uncertainty for our business, no notice of alleged infringement that we have received to date has led to a lawsuit or a license, and, as a result, no such claim has had an impact on our results of operations.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in all periods resulted primarily from our net losses adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in components of working capital. The net cash used in operating activities was $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in cash used in operating activities was driven primarily by an increase in net loss of $5.0 million, and a $2.7 million increase in cash utilized to support working capital requirements, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense of $0.9 million between the respective periods.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.2 million and consisted solely of purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1.9 million and consisted of an increase in restricted cash of $1.7 million related to our new laboratory and office facilities, and purchases of property and equipment of $0.2 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.4 million comprised primarily of loan principal payments.

Operating Capital Requirements

We expect to incur additional operating losses in the near future and our operating expenses will increase as we continue to expand our sales force, increase our marketing efforts to drive market adoption of FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme, invest in clinical trials, innovate our molecular information platform, and develop new product offerings. Our liquidity requirements have and will continue to consist of sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, capital expenditures, working capital, debt service, and general corporate expenses. As demand for our products continues to increase from physicians and biopharmaceutical companies, we anticipate that our capital expenditure requirements will also increase in order to build additional capacity. We expect that our planned expenditures will be funded from our ongoing operations and from our existing cash and cash equivalents.

Based on our current business plan, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements over at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future. We may consider raising additional capital to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities, or for other reasons. In the future, we expect our operating and capital expenditures to increase as we increase our headcount, expand our sales and marketing activities and continue to invest in new product offerings. As sales of our products grow, we expect our accounts receivable balance to increase. Any increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses may not be completely offset by increases in accounts receivable, which could result in greater working capital requirements.

If our available cash balances and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, including because of lower demand for our products as a result of lower than currently expected rates of reimbursement from commercial third-party payors and government payors or other risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we may seek to sell common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into an additional credit facility or another form of third-party funding, or seek other debt financing. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

These estimates are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties and actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. If we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in Part II, Item 7.“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

There were no material changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 with respect to the information appearing in Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

We continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company, from time to time, is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, our management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company based on the status of proceedings at this time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

To our knowledge there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to the other information set forth below and in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering of Common Stock

On September 30, 2013, we closed the sale of 6,772,221 shares of common stock to the public (inclusive of 883,333 shares of common stock sold by us pursuant to the full exercise of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters) at a price of $18.00 per share, before underwriting discounts. The offer and sale of the shares in our initial public offering was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to registration statements on Form S-1 (File No. 333-190226), which was filed with the SEC on July 29, 2013 and amended subsequently and declared effective by the SEC on September 24, 2013, and Form S-1MEF (File No. 333-191333), which was filed with the SEC on September 24, 2013 and automatically effective upon filing. Following the sale of the shares in connection with the closing of our initial public offering, the offering terminated. The offering did not terminate before all the securities registered in the registration statements were sold. Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as joint book-running managers of the offering, and Leerink Swann LLC and Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC acted as co-managers of the offering.

We raised approximately $110.4 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $8.5 million and other offering expenses of approximately $3.0 million. None of these expenses consisted of direct or indirect payments made by us to directors, officers or persons owning 10% or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on September 25, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4). We invested the funds received in cash equivalents and other short-term investments in accordance with our investment policy, and as of March 31, 2014, the remainder of the net proceeds is included as cash and cash equivalents.
