Financial highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2017

• Total revenue of $30.5 million, up 38% from the same period in 2016, in part driven by $12.1 million net revenue from a one-time buy-out of the Company’s patents directed towards colorectal cancer to Exact Sciences;
   
• Product revenue of $18.2 million, up 3% from $17.6 million last year, adversely affected by the impact of hurricanes;
   
• EBITDA improved by 34.1% from $-6.2 million compared to $-9.1 million in 2016;
   
• Cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 2017 of $22.9 million;

• EU SelectMDx test volume up nearly 400% to over 2,000 patients tested compared to 400 in the same period in 2016.

“Hurricanes Harvey and Irma depressed industry-wide laboratory Q3 testing volumes and reduced ConfirmMDx test volumes in the affected states by an estimated 50%,” said Dr. Jan Groen, Chief Executive Officer of MDxHealth. “However, overall growth of patient test volume remains strong. After nine months, we tested nearly as many patients as for the full year in 2016. Our expanded sales force has been fully deployed since early September and is expected to fuel growth in the fourth quarter and beyond.”

Key non-audited consolidated financial information:

As of or for the nine months ended September 30,

Total revenue for the first nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by 38% to $30.5 million, compared to $22.0 million a year earlier. Revenue included the sale of the Company’s patents directed towards colorectal cancer to Exact Sciences. Excluding revenue from Exact Sciences for both periods, total revenue increased by approximately 3% to $18.4 million during the first nine months of 2017.

Sales growth was hampered by the impact of hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Volumes from Texas and Florida, which traditionally contribute significantly to order volumes, fell and depressed revenue in September. Moreover, a larger number of orders than usual were received during the last days of September. The patient test results for these orders were not reported by quarter-end and therefore not included in the revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Including revenue from these orders and excluding the estimated impact of the multiple hurricanes, pro forma revenue growth for the first nine months of 2017 would have been 11% year-on-year.

Initial sales of SelectMDx IVD kits in Europe and continuously growing order volumes have increased the contribution of SelectMDx to 7% of global product revenue, with ConfirmMDx accounting for 90%, compared to 97% in the same period in 2016.

2017 outlook

The Company is confident that is well-positioned to create long-term shareholder value by delivering continued revenue growth from increased adoption of its leading diagnostic offering in both the US and European markets. The volume shortfall resulting from the hurricanes in the third quarter, improved visibility on the ramp-up of the recently added sales representatives, and lower than expected initial contributions from the GSA contract, leads the Company to target the lower end of its 55%-75% product and service revenue growth guidance for 2017. Certain US payors have recently introduced pre-authorization requirements for molecular testing, which could delay the processing of ordered tests and adversely affect the Company’s revenue growth projections. Should such delays materialize, the products and services revenue growth is estimated to be in the range of 45%-55%. Accordingly, total revenue is expected to grow by approximately 60%-70%, to $48-$51 million. The Company further expects to maintain a balance of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15 million at the end of 2017.
