Dear Fellow Shareholders: We live in an exciting time – advances in science and medicine are rapidly changing our understanding of Oncology, and are creating treatments and hope for patients. NeoGenomics provides the essential, state-of-the-art, genomic testing which allows physicians to treat patients more precisely and effectively than ever before. This is our purpose and why we exist. Our company has evolved rapidly into one of the leaders in Oncology testing. We have the most comprehensive menu for somatic cancer testing in our industry, a workforce which is unparrelled in its Oncology testing skill and expertise, low-cost operations driven by our scale and process management, and a loyal customer base supported by world-class service. We are positioned well and are stronger than ever. 2017 was a year of fortification. We significantly strengthened our company by completing the integration of Clarient while retaining nearly 100% of our clients. At the same time, we grew organically and gained market share in our Clinical and Pharma Services Divisions. We exited 2017 as an International company with exciting growth prospects. Our momentum is strong and we are committed to be the World’s leading cancer testing and information company. Culture and Values We are a purpose-driven company with a core set of Values. We know that patient lives depend on us and our clients place great trust in us. We know that Quality, Integrity, Accountability, Teamwork and Innovation make us strong. And we know that our success requires us to provide uncompromising quality, exceptional service and innovative solutions. These ideals are foundational elements of our company and they drive our success. Rapid Growth NeoGenomics operates two Oncology testing Divisions: Our Clinical Services Division, and our Pharma Services Division. Each grew significantly in 2017. Clinical Services test volumes increased 17% and revenues grew 6% year-over-year as we gained market share. Our comprehensive test menu, which provides a “one-stop shop” for hospitals and Oncology groups, together with our strong service levels, have generated more demand for our services. Growth accelerated in the second half of the year and demand from larger clients increased. This momentum is very encouraging as we enter 2018. Revenue growth in Pharma Services accelerated as the year progressed. Revenue increased 22% year-over-year, with fourth quarter growth exceeding 60%. The significant increase in backlog of signed contracts, growing from $36 million to $66 million, demonstrates our momentum. Pharma Services is extremely important as it allows us to partner with the most innovative companies in the industry and assist in their drug development programs. It also provides us with key insights into leading developments in Oncology. Investments in laboratory facilities, instrumentation, and automation have ensured capacity for future growth. We expanded our California laboratory facilities and opened a new laboratory in Rolle, Switzerland this past year. We also began investment in a new Houston laboratory, which is scheduled to open in May 2018. Growth in our business is also driven by innovation and we continue to lead in this area. Our expanding menu of multi-modality tests combine the most state-of-the-art testing techniques for use by Physicians and researchers. In the rapidly-growing field of immuno-oncology, we provide a large percentage of America’s PD-L1 testing along with a rapidly-growing molecular testing capability and proprietary testing techniques. While the incidence of cancer continues to increase, new diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities are increasing at an even faster rate. NeoGenomics is committed to lead and provide growth opportunities for many years to come. NeoGenomics Laboratories • 2


 
World-Class Team We are fortunate to have a talented and dedicated team of employees that drive our Company’s achievements. Together, we form a world-class team of over 1,000 employees and contracted Pathologists, including a medical and scientific team with diverse backgrounds in specialties related to genetics, pathology and oncology. Continual development of our team is important to us. We also mentor and train our people to enhance and capitalize on the talent within our Company. We believe that a culture of motivated and engaged employees will deliver superior service to our customers. Service Excellence Cancer patients and their Physicians demand service excellence and we agree that they should. We pride ourselves on the consistency of our service. Our industry leading turnaround times and consistent timeliness of results differentiates us from other laboratories and allows patients to receive treatment sooner. Our service excellence is demonstrated by our high levels of customer retention, which stood at 97.5% over the past year. Adjusting for clients that were acquired and similar circumstances, that retention rate would be closer to 99%. Customer survey results also provide evidence that NeoGenomics’ services are delivering very high levels of customer satisfaction. We know there is a cancer patient behind every sample we receive and our team takes that to heart at every step in the process. Challenges All businesses experience challenges and NeoGenomics is no exception. Reimbursement is the most significant challenge we face. We work hard to provide testing that is value added and medically necessary, but in many cases it’s difficult to get reimbursed adequately, or at all, for the work we do. We are working closely with payers, regulators, and legislators to drive more sensible reimbursement practices. We believe that the combined efforts of providers, payers, researchers, patients, and legislators will enable wonderful advances in Oncology care to continue, and we are committed to do our part. Future We are excited about the future of NeoGenomics and the many opportunities we have to grow and create value for our society. We expect the strong momentum we built in 2017 to continue into 2018. The Oncology testing market is growing and exciting new discoveries, developments and treatments are being introduced almost daily. Our leadership team is dedicated to pursuing our mission and to provide the exceptional quality, service and innovation necessary to increase our market share and grow profitably. This is a great time to be a part of NeoGenomics, and we are committed to lead. On behalf of everyone at NeoGenomics, thank you for your continued support and confidence. Sincerely, Douglas M. VanOort Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer NeoGenomics Laboratories • 3
