Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Foundation Medicine, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Foundation Medicine Securities Corporation and FMI Germany GmbH (collectively, the “Company”), is a molecular information company focused on fundamentally changing the way in which patients with cancer are evaluated and treated. The Company believes an information-based approach to making clinical treatment decisions based on comprehensive genomic profiling (“CGP”) will become a standard of care for patients with cancer. The Company derives revenue from selling services that are enabled by its molecular information platform to physicians and biopharmaceutical companies.

The Company’s molecular information services for genomic profiling, FoundationOne CDx, an FDA-approved broad companion diagnostic assay for solid tumors, FoundationOne for solid tumors, FoundationOneHeme for hematologic malignancies and sarcomas, and FoundationACT, a blood-based (liquid biopsy) assay to measure circulating tumor DNA (“ctDNA”), are widely available comprehensive genomic profiles designed for use in the routine care of patients with cancer. Following the United States Food & Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) approval of FoundationOne CDx in November 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued a final National Coverage Determination (“NCD”) in March 2018 that establishes nationwide Medicare coverage for FoundationOne CDx for all solid tumor types when ordered by the patient’s treating physician for Medicare beneficiaries with advanced cancer ( i.e. , either recurrent, relapsed, refractory, metastatic, or advanced stages III or IV cancer), who either have not been previously tested using FoundationOne CDx for the same primary diagnosis of cancer or are seeking repeat testing with FoundationOne CDx for a new primary cancer diagnosis, and continue to seek further cancer therapy.

To accelerate its commercial growth and enhance its competitive advantage, the Company is developing and commercializing new molecular information services for physicians and biopharmaceutical companies, strengthening its commercial organization, introducing new marketing, education and provider engagement efforts, growing its molecular information knowledgebase, called FoundationCORE, pursuing reimbursement from regional and national third-party payors, publishing scientific and medical advances, and fostering relationships throughout the oncology community.

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 presentation. 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 unaudited 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. The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 included information and footnotes necessary for such presentation and were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2018. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2018, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), with Roche Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent” or “Roche Holdings”), and 062018 Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the acquisition of the Company by Parent in a two-step all-cash transaction, consisting of a tender offer, followed by a subsequent back-end merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent caused Merger Sub to conduct a tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company at a price of $137.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on Monday, July 30, 2018. Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 12,535,376 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered and for which certificates were not yet delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 77.3% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding those Shares held by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and, when taken together with the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates, representing approximately 90.1% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies and estimates used in preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 are reflected below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue from the provision of molecular information services provided to its ordering physicians and biopharmaceutical customers, as well as from pharma research and development services provided to its biopharmaceutical customers. Molecular information services include molecular profiling and the delivery of other molecular information derived from the Company’s platform. Pharma research and development services include the development of new platforms and information solutions, including companion diagnostic development. The Company currently receives payments from commercial third-party payors, Medicare, certain hospitals and cancer centers with which it has direct-bill relationships, individual patients, and its biopharmaceutical customers. All amounts are due to be paid in accordance with the customers agreed upon payment terms and we have not identified the existence of any significant financing components.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company began recognizing revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers  (“ASC 606”). The Company adopted ASC 606 utilizing the modified retrospective method, meaning the cumulative effect of applying the standard was recognized to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. ASC 606 provides for a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Performance Obligations

Molecular Information Services

Clinical

Our clinical contracts included within molecular information services typically have a single performance obligation to transfer molecular profiling services to either a patient or a facility. In certain limited contracted scenarios, such as arrangements with academic medical centers, the transaction price is stated within the contract and is therefore fixed consideration. For most of our clinical volume, we identified the patient as the customer in Step 1 of the model and have determined an implied contract exists with the patient in Step 1. As such, a stated contract price does not exist and the transaction price for each contract represents variable consideration. In developing the estimate of variable consideration, we utilize the expected value method under a portfolio approach. Our estimate requires significant judgment and is developed using historical reimbursement data from payors and patients, as well as known current reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data. As these contracts typically have a single performance obligation, no allocation of the transaction price is required in Step 4 of the model. Control over molecular information services is transferred to our ordering physicians at a point in time. Specifically, we determined the customer obtains control of the promised service upon our delivery of the test results. Certain incremental costs, such as commissions, are incurred in obtaining clinical contracts. We have elected to utilize the practical expedient to expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract that meet the capitalization criteria, as the amortization period of any contract acquisition asset would be one year or less due to the short-term nature of our clinical contracts.

Biopharma

Our biopharma contracts included within molecular information services may include single or multiple performance obligations depending on the contract, and may include different molecular information service offerings, such as molecular profiling, provision of data through either database queries or subscription access to our platform, and clinical trial enrollment assistance, as separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore distinct performance obligations.

The transaction price in biopharma molecular information service contracts is typically fixed consideration. In certain instances, contracts may include variable consideration. In these contracts, variable consideration is estimated utilizing the expected value method. The primary method used to determine standalone selling price for the biopharma molecular information services is observable standalone selling price. When standalone selling price is not directly observable, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price for molecular information services is the adjusted market assessment approach, under which we evaluate the market in which we sell the services and estimate the price that a customer in that market would be willing to pay for those services.

Control over biopharma molecular information services from molecular profiling and database queries is transferred to customers at a point in time. We determined the customer obtains control of the promised service upon delivery of the test results or the delivery of responses to database queries to the biopharma partner. Control over biopharma molecular information services from subscription access to our data platform is transferred to customers ratably over time. We determined that the customer obtains control of the promised service as we host the content throughout the contract term. Control over biopharma molecular information services from clinical trial enrollment assistance is transferred to customers ratably over time. We determined that the customer obtains control of the promised service as we stand ready to perform such services throughout the contract term.

Pharma Research and Development Services

Our biopharma contracts included within pharma research and development services may include single or multiple performance obligations depending on the contract. Research and development (“R&D”) services typically represent a single performance obligation as the Company performs a significant integration service for the individual goods or services in the R&D workstream, such as analytical validation and regulatory submissions. The individual promises are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, are not distinct. However, in certain contracts, a partner may engage the Company for multiple distinct R&D workstreams which are both capable of being distinct and separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, distinct performance obligations. Additionally, for regulatory contracts in pursuit of approval of a companion diagnostic assay, the Company identifies a performance obligation for commercial availability of the assay subsequent to obtaining regulatory approval.

The transaction price can consist of a combination of an upfront fee, performance-based development milestones, cost reimbursement, fixed per sample fees, commercial royalties, and commercial milestones. With the exception of upfront and fixed per sample fees, the other forms of compensation represent variable consideration. Variable consideration in the form of cost reimbursement and commercial royalties is estimated using the expected value method. Variable consideration in the form of development and commercial milestones is estimated using the most likely amount method. All variable consideration is constrained such that it is probable a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Application of the constraint for variable consideration to milestone payments is an area that requires significant judgment. In making this assessment, the Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be managed to achieve the respective milestone and the level of effort and investment required to achieve the respective milestone.

The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price for the R&D service performance obligations is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying each performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price for a commercial availability performance obligation is the adjusted market assessment approach, under which we evaluate the market in which we sell the services and estimate the price that a customer in that market would be willing to pay for those services. The estimation of standalone selling price is an area that requires significant judgment, as it impacts the allocation objective in Step 4 of the model. Revenue will be recognized over time for R&D services and commercial availability services. Specifically, for R&D services we will recognize revenue using an input method to measure progress, utilizing costs incurred to-date relative to total expected costs as our measure of progress. For commercial availability services, we will recognize revenue using an input method to measure progress, resulting in a time-elapsed measure of progress.

The Company performs R&D services as part of its normal activities. The Company records payments for these services as Pharma research and development services revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The R&D costs incurred by the Company under these arrangements are included as Research and development expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss given these costs are related to the development of new services to be owned and offered by the Company to its customers.

Significant Judgments and Contract Estimates

Molecular Information Services

For our clinical molecular information services, we have concluded that an implied contract exists with the patient. This is a significant judgment as contract existence is a requirement to applying the general five-step model of ASC 606.

Accounting for clinical revenue contracts includes estimation of the transaction price, defined as the amount we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for providing the services under the contract. Due to our out-of-network status with the majority of payors, estimation of the transaction price represents variable consideration. In order to estimate variable consideration, we utilize a portfolio approach in which payors with similar reimbursement experience are grouped into portfolios. Our estimates of variable consideration are based primarily on historical reimbursement data. Certain assumptions will also be adjusted based on known and anticipated factors not reflected in the historical reimbursement data. We monitor these accrual estimates at each reporting period based on actual cash collections in order to assess whether a revision to the estimate is required. Both the initial accrual estimate and any subsequent revision to the estimate contain uncertainty and require the use of judgment in the estimation of the transaction price and application of the constraint for variable consideration.

Pharma Research and Development Services

Accounting for biopharma revenue contracts includes several judgments and estimates which impact the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. Specifically, biopharma contracts require evaluation of separability of promised services, estimation of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations, and estimation of measure of progress toward complete satisfaction for those performance obligations satisfied over time.

Certain biopharma contracts, typically those for pharma research and development services, contain promises to deliver multiple services. The process for evaluating contracts for material promises, in contrast to immaterial promises or administrative tasks, requires judgment. Once material promises have been identified, we then evaluate whether these promises are both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. If both of these criteria are satisfied, a separate performance obligation will be identified. If both criteria are not satisfied, certain promises will be combined in the identification of a combined performance obligation. In assessing whether a promised service is capable of being distinct, the Company considers whether the customer could benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, including factors such as the research, development, and commercialization capabilities of a third party and the availability of the associated expertise in the general marketplace. In assessing whether a promised service is distinct within the context of the contract, the Company considers whether we provide a significant integration of the services, whether the services significantly modify or customize one another, or whether the services are highly interdependent or interrelated.

The nature of certain biopharma contracts, primarily contracts for pharma research and development services, requires that the transaction price must be estimated, including application of the constraint to performance-based milestones. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be managed to achieve the respective milestone and the level of effort and investment required to achieve the respective milestone in making this assessment. Application of the constraint is based on our historical experience with similar milestones, the degree of complexity and uncertainty associated with each milestone, and whether achievement of the milestone is dependent on parties other than the Company. The constraint for variable consideration is applied such that it is probable a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the contingency is resolved. Application of the constraint for variable consideration is updated at each reporting period as a revision to the estimated transaction price.

Once the transaction price has been estimated, the standalone selling price for each identified performance obligation must be determined in order to allocate the transaction price to performance obligations. Observable standalone selling price is used when available. When an observable price is not available, standalone selling price is estimated using either the adjusted market assessment approach or the expected cost plus a margin approach, utilizing the approach which maximizes the use of observable inputs. Under the adjusted market assessment approach, we utilize pricing on historical similar transactions as well as competitor pricing as relevant inputs. Under the expected cost plus a margin approach, we utilize internal cost models for required personnel and sample resources as the relevant inputs.

Lastly, once the transaction price has been allocated to the identified performance obligations, we must determine the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. For certain biopharma services, particularly pharma research and development services satisfied over time, this requires estimation of the total cost pool in order to determine our measure of progress under the input method. This cost pool is the same cost model utilized to estimate standalone selling price under the expected cost plus a margin approach. At the end of each reporting period, we track actual costs incurred in order to measure progress under the input method and recognize revenue accordingly.

Reclassifications

A reclassification was made to other assets within the prior year Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-18. This reclassification had no net effect on the Company’s consolidated results.

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.

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all related amendments (collectively codified as ASC 606) on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method, meaning the cumulative effect of applying the standard to all contracts that were not completed as of the date of initial application was recognized to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The Company identified certain differences in accounting for revenue recognition as a result of adoption of ASC 606 which are expected to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. These differences are discussed below and any other identified policy differences are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

For molecular information services revenue, the Company identified a difference in accounting for certain revenue arrangements from the application of the new revenue accounting standard as compared to the previous revenue accounting standards. Historically, for certain clinical customers, the Company deferred revenue recognition until cash receipt when the price pursuant to the underlying customer arrangement was not fixed and determinable and collectability was not reasonably assured. Under the new standard, this is considered variable consideration. For these arrangements, the Company will record an estimate of the transaction price, subject to the constraint in the new standard for variable consideration, as revenue at the time of delivery. This estimate will be monitored in subsequent periods and adjusted as necessary based on actual collection experience. This will result in earlier revenue recognition as compared to previous revenue recognition.

For pharma research and development services revenue, the Company identified a difference in accounting for certain contracts from the application of the new revenue accounting standard as compared to previous revenue accounting standards. Historically, for arrangements with regulatory and other developmental milestone payments, the Company limited revenue recognition based on the right to invoice the customer. Under the new standard, for these arrangements, the Company will constrain revenue such that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Based on the facts and circumstances associated with each milestone, this could result in a change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition as compared to previous accounting policy.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Comparative information from prior periods has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

ASC 606 did not have an aggregate impact on the Company’s net cash used in operating activities, but resulted in offsetting changes in certain assets and liabilities presented within net cash used in operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, as reflected in the above tables.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 provides guidance about how to recognize, measure, present and make disclosures about certain financial assets and financial liabilities under Topic 825. ASU 2016-01 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities, including for operating leases, on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is still performing its assessment of ASU 2016-02, however expects that substantially all of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,  Restricted Cash  (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Although it does not provide a definition of

13


 

restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents, it states that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 . The adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. ASU 2017-09 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Significant Agreements

Roche Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates

Summary of the Transaction

On January 11, 2015, the Company signed a broad strategic collaboration with Roche Holdings, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Roche”) to further advance the Company’s leadership position in genomic analysis and molecular information solutions in oncology. The transaction, which is a broad multi-part arrangement that includes an R&D collaboration, an ex-U.S. commercial collaboration, a U.S. medical education collaboration, and an equity investment with certain governance provisions, closed on April 7, 2015.

Under the terms of the transaction, Roche (a) made a primary investment of $250,000,000 in cash through the purchase of 5,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $50.00 per share and (b) completed a tender offer to acquire 15,604,288 outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $50.00 per share. Immediately following the closing of the transaction, Roche owned approximately 61.3% of the outstanding shares. As of June 30, 2018, Roche’s ownership was approximately 56.6% of the outstanding shares. Upon the closing of the transaction, the size of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) was increased to nine, including three designees of Roche. In February 2017, the Board was increased to ten members. In June 2017, the Board was decreased to nine members when a director retired from the Board at our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Company assessed the agreements related to each of the R&D collaboration, an ex-U.S. commercial collaboration, and the U.S. medical education collaboration and determined they should be treated as separate contracts for accounting purposes.

Summary of the R&D Collaboration Agreement

Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement by and among the Company, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., dated January 11, 2015 (as amended, the “R&D Collaboration Agreement”), Roche could pay the Company more than $150,000,000 over a period of five years to access its molecular information platform, to reserve capacity for sample profiling, and to fund R&D programs. Amounts under the R&D Collaboration Agreement will be received as services are performed and obligations are fulfilled under each platform program. Roche will utilize the Company’s molecular information platform to standardize sample profiling conducted as part of its clinical trials, to enable comparability of clinical trial results for R&D purposes, and to better understand the potential for combination therapies. In addition, Roche and the Company will jointly develop solutions related to cancer immunotherapy testing, blood-based genomic analysis using ctDNA assays, and next generation companion diagnostics, each of which represents a distinct platform within the R&D Collaboration Agreement. The R&D Collaboration Agreement is governed by a Joint Management Committee (“JMC”) formed by an equal number of representatives from the Company and Roche. There are also other sub-committees for each platform that will be established to oversee the day to day responsibilities of the respective platform. The JMC will, among other activities, review and approve R&D plans and establish and set expectations for the other platform sub-committees. The JMC and other sub-committees, although considered promises under the arrangement, are immaterial in relation to the entire arrangement and therefore were not identified as performance obligations.

On April 6, 2016, the Company and Roche entered into the First Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which reduced certain restrictions on the Company’s activities in immuno-oncology and revised certain criteria for the achievement of a development milestone.

On June 16, 2016, the Company and Roche entered into the Second Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which set forth the terms of an omnibus development program to provide for R&D projects that do not fall within the scope of the other programs already covered by the R&D Collaboration Agreement . R&D reimbursements and milestone payments will be recognized using an input method measure of progress based on costs incurred by the Company .

On July 25, 2016, the Company and Roche entered into a Third Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which modified certain exclusivity provisions relating to cancer immunotherapy.

14


 

On December 20, 2016, the Company and Roche entered into a Fourth Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which further modified certain exclusivity provisions relating to cancer immunotherapy.

On September 8, 2017, the Company and Roche entered into a Fifth Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which reduced certain exclusivity provisions relating to blood-based tumor mutational burden assays.

On November 1, 2017, the Company and Roche entered into a Sixth Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which further modified certain exclusivity provisions relating to cancer immunotherapy.

On July 10, 2018, the Company and Roche entered into a Seventh Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which modified certain capacity and fee provisions related to the molecular information platform program, effective as of April 7, 2018.

Molecular Information Platform Program

Under the molecular information platform program within the R&D Collaboration Agreement, the following promises were identified: (i) cross-licenses for access to relevant intellectual property (“IP”), (ii) sample profiling, (iii) access to the Company’s molecular information database, and (iv) full-time equivalent persons (“FTEs”) per year for performance of database queries and the delivery of results.

The Company assessed which promises within the arrangement are distinct from the other promises and identified the following separate performance obligations: (i) sample profiling and (ii) access to the Company’s molecular information database and FTEs per year for the performance of database queries and the delivery of results. The cross-licenses grant each party access to relevant IP to perform under the contract or to exploit the promised services. The licenses are delivered at the inception of the arrangement and relate to development and sample profiling work performed under the platform. The Company does not sell the licenses separately as they are closely connected to the development and sample profiling activities and have little value to Roche without these other promised services. Therefore, the licenses are combined with the other performance obligations identified under the molecular information platform program and are not considered distinct.

The Company identified an estimated transaction price of approximately $85,000,000 related to the molecular information platform program, which was allocated to the individual performance obligations based on standalone selling price. Revenue related to sample profiling will be recognized at the point in time at which test results are delivered to Roche. The database access and FTE payments will be recognized using a time-elapsed measure of progress over the five-year contract life. The FTEs will perform database queries and will deliver results of the requested database queries. The value to Roche is not only the access to the database, but also the service being performed by the FTEs. Therefore, the Company concluded the FTEs should be combined with the database access as one performance obligation.

Immunotherapy Testing Platform Development Program

Under the immunotherapy testing platform development program within the R&D Collaboration Agreement, the following promises were identified: (i) cross-licenses for access to relevant IP and (ii) obligations to perform R&D services for immuno-biomarker discovery and signature identification.

The Company assessed which promises within the arrangement are distinct from the other promises and identified a single performance obligation for the performance of R&D services for immuno-biomarker discovery and signature identification. The cross-licenses grant each party access to relevant IP of the other party to perform such party’s obligations under the contract and to exploit the promised service. The licenses are delivered at the inception of the arrangement and relate to R&D work performed under the platform. The Company does not sell the licenses separately as they are closely connected to the R&D activities and have little value to Roche without these other promised services. Therefore, the licenses are combined with the other performance obligation identified under the immunotherapy testing platform development program and are not considered distinct.

Under this platform, Roche will reimburse the Company for certain R&D costs incurred related to the immuno-biomarker discovery and signature identification activities, as well as costs incurred in the development of immunotherapy assays for clinical studies. In addition, Roche will be required to make certain milestone payments upon the achievement of specified clinical events under the immunotherapy testing platform development program. Clinical milestone payments up to $6,600,000 in the aggregate are triggered upon the initiation of Roche clinical trials using immunotherapy assays developed under the R&D Collaboration Agreement. The R&D reimbursements and clinical milestone payments will be recognized using an input method measure of progress based on costs incurred by the Company.

Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Platform Development Program

Under the ctDNA platform development program within the R&D Collaboration Agreement, the following promises were identified: (i) cross-licenses for access to relevant IP and (ii) obligations to perform R&D services for the development of a ctDNA clinical trial assay, including its analytical validation.

15


 

The Company assessed which promises within the arrangement are distinct from the other promised services and identifie d a single performance obligation for the perform ance of R&D services for the development of a ctDNA clinical trial a ssay . The cross-licenses grant each party access to relevant IP of the other party to perform such party’s obligations under the contract a nd to exploit the promised service. The licenses are delivered at the inception of the arrangement and relate to R&D work performed under the platform. The Company does not sell the licenses separately as they are closely connected to the R&D activities an d have little value to Roche without these other promised services. Therefore, the licenses are combined with the other performance obligation identified under the ctDNA platform development program and are not considered distinct.

The Company was responsible for all R&D costs under the ctDNA platform development program. Roche was required to make certain milestone payments upon the achievement of specified events. Milestone payments equal to $12,000,000 in the aggregate were triggered upon successful analytical validation of a ctDNA clinical trial assay and delivery of a ctDNA clinical trial assay for use in Roche clinical trials. All milestones were recognized at the point in time at which benefit transferred to Roche.

Companion Diagnostics (CDx) Development Program

Under the Companion Diagnostic (CDx) Development Program within the R&D Collaboration Agreement, the following promises were identified: (i) cross-licenses for access to relevant IP, (ii) obligations to perform R&D services for the development of CDx assays for use in connection with certain Roche products, and (iii) obligations to maintain commercial availability of our assay inclusive of Roche biomarkers.

The Company assessed which promises within the arrangement are distinct from the other promised services and identified the following separate performance obligations: (i) obligation to perform R&D services for the development of a CDx assay and (ii) obligation to maintain commercial availability of our assay inclusive of Roche biomarkers. The cross-licenses grant each party access to relevant IP of the other party to perform such party’s obligations under the contract and to exploit the promised services. The licenses are delivered at the inception of the arrangement and relate to R&D work performed under the platform. The Company does not sell the licenses separately as they are closely connected to the R&D activities and have little value to Roche without these other promised services. Therefore, the licenses are combined with the obligation to perform R&D services for the development of a CDx assay as a single performance obligation.

Under this platform, Roche reimbursed the Company for certain costs incurred related to R&D under the Companion Diagnostic (CDx) Development Program with respect to approved and investigational markers. In addition, Roche was required to make certain milestone payments upon the achievement of specified regulatory and commercial events under the Companion Diagnostic (CDx) Development Program. Regulatory milestone payments of $600,000 were triggered upon obtaining FDA approval of a premarket approval application for each CDx product developed under the arrangement. The R&D reimbursements and regulatory milestone payments were recognized using an input method measure of progress based on costs incurred by the Company. Commercial milestone payments are triggered upon the performance of a specified number of CDx assays for certain commercial clinical diagnostic uses. Any commercial milestone payments received by the Company will be recognized using an input method to measure progress, resulting in a time-elapsed measure of progress.  

Termination of the R&D Collaboration Agreement

The R&D Collaboration Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or Roche on a program-by-program basis, upon written notice, in the event of the other party’s uncured material breach. Roche may also terminate the entire R&D Collaboration Agreement or an individual program under the R&D Collaboration Agreement for any reason upon written notice to the Company, subject to certain exceptions. If the R&D Collaboration Agreement is terminated, license and IP rights are returned to each party and the Company must return to Roche or dispose of any unused samples delivered for profiling purposes. If Roche terminates the R&D Collaboration Agreement as a result of a breach by the Company, Roche retains the license rights granted to certain IP of the Company, and the Company shall refund to Roche any reserved capacity fees and database access fees previously received by the Company that were unused based on the passage of time up to termination for the given contract year. If the R&D Collaboration Agreement is terminated by Roche without cause or by the Company due to a breach by Roche, the Company has a right to receive the contractual payments it would have expected to receive for each program had the agreement not been terminated.

Summary of the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement

In addition to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, the Company entered into the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement with Roche (as most recently amended and restated in February 2018, the “Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement”) designed to facilitate the delivery of the Company’s services outside the United States (“Ex-U.S.”) in partnership with Roche. Pursuant to the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement, on April 7, 2016, Roche obtained Ex-U.S. commercialization rights to the Company’s existing services and to future co-developed services. The Company remains solely responsible for commercialization of its services within the United States. The selected geographic areas where Roche exercised its commercialization rights constitute the “Roche Territory.” For those geographic areas that Roche does not select, the commercialization rights for such geographic areas revert back to the Company. The Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement is governed by the JMC. There is also a Joint Operational Committee (“JOC”) that has

16


 

been established to oversee t he activities under the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement. The JMC will have the responsibilities as outlined under the R&D Collaboration Agreement. The JMC and JOC, although considered promises under the arrangement, are immaterial in relation to the en tire arrangement and therefore were not identified as performance obligations.

Under the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement, the following promises were identified: (i) the right, granted by means of a license, for Roche to market and sell the Company’s services in the Roche Territory and (ii) obligations to perform sample profiling and other services relating to Company services sold by Roche in the Roche Territory. The Company concluded that the license is delivered at the inception of the arrangement. The Company does not sell the license separately as it is closely connected to the sample profiling and other services and has little value to Roche without these services being performed. Therefore, the promises identified will be combined as a single performance obligation under the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement and revenue will be recognized at the point in time test results are delivered for each test sold by Roche.

Roche will reimburse the Company for costs incurred in performing sample profiling and other services relating to Company services sold by Roche in the Roche Territory. These reimbursements will be recognized as revenue in the period the sample profiling service has been completed. In addition, Roche will be required to make a one-time milestone payment of $10,000,000 when the aggregate gross margin on sales of certain of the Company’s services reaches $100,000,000 in the Roche Territory in any calendar year. In the event Roche does not satisfy its specified commercialization obligations under the agreement, including its obligation to launch Company services in specific countries within a specified timeframe, after a cure period, Roche may be required to make penalty payments to the Company. This milestone payment and these penalty payments will be constrained and recognized in their entirety when the associated contingency is resolved as no enforceable right to payment exists until achievement.

The Company is entitled to receive, on a quarterly basis, tiered payments ranging from the mid-single digits to high-teens based on a percentage of the aggregate gross margin generated on sales of specified services in the Roche Territory during any calendar year. These payments are recognized in the period when tests are delivered.

The Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or Roche in its entirety or on a country-by-country or product-by-product basis, upon written notice, in the event of the other party’s uncured breach of its material obligations under the agreement. Roche may also terminate the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement without cause on a product-by-product and/or country-by-country basis, upon written notice to the Company, after the initial five-year term. If the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement is terminated, the license and IP rights granted by the Company to Roche terminate. In addition, if Roche terminates the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement as a result of a breach by the Company, Roche may seek damages via arbitration or be eligible to receive either a one-time payment reflecting the value of the terminated services or a royalty on sales of the terminated products based on the royalty Roche would have paid the Company for the terminated products had the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement not been terminated.

In April 2018, the Company announced a three-party collaboration with Roche and Dian Diagnostics Group, Co., Ltd. (“Dian”) to integrate the Company’s CGP assays into clinical patient care in mainland China and establish a collaboration with Dian for the purpose of implementing the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement in China. Under the collaboration, Dian is the exclusive clinical sequencing partner in China for FoundationOne, FoundationACT and FoundationOneHeme, enabling the delivery of molecular information services associated with these tests for patients in China. Roche maintains commercial exclusivity for the Company’s molecular information services in China, and in cooperation with Dian continues its current in-county activities to support the broad integration of CGP into clinical care.

Summary of the U.S. Education Collaboration Agreement

Within the United States, the Company has entered into the U.S. Education Collaboration Agreement with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”), an affiliate of Roche. Genentech has agreed to engage its pathology education team to provide information and medical education to health care providers regarding CGP in cancer. The Company will pay Genentech on a quarterly basis for costs incurred by Genentech in conducting the education activities based on a number of factors. The total amount of payments to be made over the course of the arrangement is immaterial and all payments will be expensed as incurred.

IVD Collaboration Agreement

On April 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Master IVD Collaboration Agreement (the “IVD Collaboration Agreement”) with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., which memorializes in a definitive agreement the terms set forth in that certain Binding Term Sheet for an In Vitro Diagnostics Collaboration, by and between F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and the Company, which was entered into in connection with the Company’s strategic collaboration with Roche.

The IVD Collaboration Agreement provides terms for the Company and Roche to collaborate non-exclusively to develop and commercialize  in vitro  diagnostic versions of certain existing Company tests, including FoundationOne and FoundationOneHeme, and future Company tests, including those developed under the R&D Collaboration Agreement.

17


 

The IVD Collaboration Agreement expires on April 7, 2020, unless earlier terminated as provided therein. Roche also has the right, in its sole discretion, t o extend the term of the IVD Collaboration Agreement for additional two- year periods of time during any period of time in which Roche continues to hold at least 50.1% of the Company’s capital stock. Either party may terminate the IVD Collaboration Agreemen t for an uncured breach of the agreement, or for insolvency or bankruptcy.

Biopharmaceutical Partner

In July 2012, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement (“Services Agreement”) with a biopharmaceutical partner (“Partner”) to perform sample profiling at the Partner’s request. The Services Agreement established the legal and administrative framework for the partnership between the entities. The Services Agreement also included a right for the Partner to initiate an exclusive negotiation with the Company for the development of a Companion Diagnostic (“CDx”). In March 2014, the Company and Partner expanded the scope of work by executing a Companion Diagnostic Agreement (“Amended Agreement”), thereby amending the Services Agreement to include the joint development and regulatory approval for a CDx. The Amended Agreement defined the term of the arrangement as the earlier of five years or receipt of certain regulatory approvals of a CDx. The Company concluded that the amendment to the original Services Agreement should be treated as a new agreement pursuant to ASC 606 as the Amended Agreement changed both the scope and price of the existing arrangement.

The Company identified six promises under the Amended Agreement: (i) cross-licenses for access to relevant IP, (ii) obligations to continue to perform sample profiling pursuant to the original Services Agreement, (iii) obligations to perform specific R&D activities for the development of a CDx assay for use in connection with the Partner’s product, (iv) obligations to assist in obtaining regulatory approval of the Partner’s product at its request, (v) obligations to perform analytical validation of the CDx assay, and (vi) obligations to make the CDx assay commercially available, following any required regulatory approval.

The Company then determined the following promises were separate performance obligations: (i) obligations to continue to perform sample profiling pursuant to the original Services Agreement, (ii) obligations to perform specific R&D activities for the development of a CDx assay for use in connection with the Partner’s product and to provide assistance in obtaining regulatory approval of the Partner’s product at its request, inclusive of analytical validation of the CDx assay, and (iii) obligations to make the CDx assay commercially available, following any regulatory approval obtained. The cross-licenses grant each party access to relevant IP of the other party to perform such party’s obligations under the contract and to exploit the promised services. The licenses are delivered at the inception of the arrangement and primarily relate to the R&D development activities performed under the Amended Agreement. The Company does not sell the licenses separately as they are closely connected to the R&D development activities and have little value to the Partner without the other promised services. Therefore, the licenses are combined with the obligation to perform R&D services for the development of a CDx assay as a single performance obligation.

Under the Amended Agreement, the Partner pays a fixed fee for each sample to be profiled; will reimburse the Company for a portion of costs incurred in performing analytical validation of the CDx assay; and will be required to make certain substantive milestone and other payments upon the achievement of specified regulatory and clinical events tied to the development and commercialization of the CDx. The estimated transaction price under the Amended Agreement was allocated to the performance obligations based on standalone selling price. The transaction price allocated to sample profiling is recognized as results of sample profiling are delivered. Consideration allocated to the R&D development activities is recognized using an input method measure of progress based on costs incurred by the Company. As of December 31, 2016, the CDx assay had achieved regulatory approval and the regulatory and development obligations under the Amended Agreement had been completed. Consideration allocated to the commercial availability performance obligation is recognized using a time-elapsed measure of progress.

Under the Amended Agreement, the Company recognized revenue of $3,059,000 and $5,384,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $830,000 and $1,300,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, which was primarily related to sample profiling.

On June 30, 2018, we had $138.6 million of remaining transaction price allocated to performance obligations which are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied, of which $57.4 million is associated with related parties. For the $57.4 million associated with related parties, we expect to recognize approximately 64 percent of our remaining transaction price as revenue within the next 12 months following June 30, 2018 and an additional 34 percent in the 12 months thereafter, and the remaining 2 percent thereafter. For the remaining $81.2 million, we expect to recognize approximately 39 percent of our remaining transaction price as revenue within the next 12 months following June 30, 2018, an additional 26 percent in the 12 months thereafter, and the remaining 35 percent thereafter. We have elected to utilize the practical expedient of excluding contracts with an original duration of one year or less. As a result, the majority of our molecular information services contracts are excluded from the calculation and the balance is primarily comprised of transaction price associated with our long-term pharma research and development service contracts, as well as the molecular information platform program within the R&D Collaboration Agreement with Roche.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $1.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of revenue from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods, as a result of changes in the estimation of the transaction price for certain arrangements. Changes in the estimation of the transaction price for our clinical molecular information services revenue occur when we adjust our initial estimate based on actual cash collection experience from payors. Changes in the estimation of the transaction price for our pharma research and development services revenue occur based on revisions to our estimate of the constraint for variable consideration of performance-based milestones.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original 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-backed securities and treasuries. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value.

 

6.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of deposits securing letters of credit issued to lessors as collateral in connection with the Company’s operating leases. As of each June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had restricted cash of $2.3 million.

 

7.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing, and cash collection results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities). The Company presents current contract assets within prepaid expenses and other current assets and non-current contract assets within other assets, while accounts receivable and deferred revenue are presented separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For clinical molecular information services revenue, billing generally occurs at the same time as revenue recognition, meaning the Company does not record unbilled receivables or deferred revenue related

19


 

to these services. For biopharmaceutical molecular information services revenue, billing generally occurs at the same time as revenue recognition. However, we sometimes receive payment in advance of services being performed. For example, contracts may contain upfront payments or, for our subscription-type arrangements, may call for invoicing at the start of e ach quarter. Both of these scenarios result in the reco rding of deferred revenue. For Pharma research and development services, the timing between revenue recognition and invoicing is likely to vary due to the longer-term nature of these contracts. For exa mple, these contracts often contain upfront payments, which results in the recording of deferred revenue to the extent cash is received prior to our performance of the related services. Conversely, these contracts typically contain performance-based milest ones. Dependent on our estimation of variable consideration and application of the constraint, we may recognize revenue as we perform toward these milestones but prior to achievement of the milestones, which would result in the recording of contract assets . In all cases , deferred revenue is relieved as we perform under our obligations and revenue is consequently recognized. Contract assets are relieved when milestones are achieved and we invoice the customer, thereby shifting the balances from contract asse ts to accounts rece ivable. Revenue recognized in the three and six months ended June 30 , 2018 that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2017 was $0.4 million and $ 4.3 million, respectively, and represented primarily revenue from provision of sample profiling services under the reserved capacity arrangement with Roche. As of June 30 , 2018 , the Company had current unbilled receivables of $0 . 2 million and non-current unbilled receivables of $ 0.4 million , as compared to current unbill ed receivables of $ 0.7 million and non-current unbilled receivables of $ 0.6 million as of January 1, 2018. The Company did not record unbilled receivables for its contract assets prior to adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018.

Two customer account receivable balances consisting of $11,402,000 and $8,604,000 were greater than 10% of the total accounts receivable balance, including receivables due from Roche, representing 22% and 16%, respectively, of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2018. Two customer account balances consisting of $10,159,000 and $8,990,000 were greater than 10% of the total accounts receivable balance, including receivables due from Roche, representing 34% and 30%, respectively, of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2017.

Debt

On July 31, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment Letter Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Roche Finance Ltd (“Roche Finance”), amending the Credit Facility Agreement, dated August 2, 2016, between the Company and Roche (the “Existing Credit Facility” and, as amended, the “Roche Credit Facility”).

The Amendment amends certain provisions of the Existing Credit Facility to provide for an extension of the period during which the Company may borrow funds from three to four years, ending August 2, 2020 (the “Draw Period”), and an increase in the available funds from $100 million to $200 million, of which $80 million was made available immediately and $120 million was made available upon the achievement of certain milestones. Pursuant to the Amendment, loans made under the Roche Credit Facility will bear interest at 6.5% per annum, as compared to 5% under the Existing Credit Facility. The Company shall pay Roche quarterly during the Draw Period and for six months thereafter accrued interest on the outstanding principal of the loans. Beginning six months after the Draw Period and for five years thereafter, the Company shall pay Roche quarterly equal payments of principal, with accrued interest, in arrears until maturity of the Roche Credit Facility on February 2, 2026 (the “Final Maturity Date”). The Company shall also pay Roche a quarterly commitment fee of 0.4% per annum on the available commitment until the end of the Draw Period, as compared to 0.3% under the Existing Credit Facility. The other provisions of the Existing Credit Facility remain substantially unchanged. The proceeds from the Roche Credit Facility are intended to be used for R&D and commercialization, corporate development, and working capital management.    

The Roche Credit Facility is secured by a lien on all of the Company’s tangible and intangible personal property, including, but not limited to, shares of its subsidiaries (65% of the equity interests in the case of foreign subsidiaries), intellectual property, insurance, trade and intercompany receivables, inventory and equipment, and contract rights, and all proceeds and services thereof (other than certain excluded assets).

The Roche Credit Facility contains certain affirmative covenants, including, among others, obligations for the Company to provide monthly and annual financial statements, to meet specified minimum cash requirements, to provide tax gross-up and indemnification protection, and to comply with laws. The Roche Credit Facility also contains certain negative covenants, including, among others, restrictions on the Company’s ability to dispose of certain assets, to acquire another company or business, to encumber or permit liens on certain assets, to incur additional indebtedness (subject to customary exceptions), and to pay dividends on the Company’s common stock. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Roche Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018.

The Roche Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including, among others, defaults due to non-payment, bankruptcy, failure to comply with covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, a change of control, a material adverse effect and judgment defaults. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default following applicable notice and cure periods, amounts due under the Roche Credit Facility may be accelerated. The Company had no events of default under the Roche Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $110 million in borrowings outstanding and $90 million of unused and available credit under the Roche Credit Facility. Interest expense was $1.7 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

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, stock options, and unvested restricted stock 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.

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

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 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 a 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 a 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, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of our outstanding debt balance approximates the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. The principal amount of our outstanding debt balance at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $110.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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. Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2018 include cash equivalents and indebtedness to Roche. The Company did not elect to remeasure any other existing financial assets or liabilities, and did not elect the fair value option for any other financial assets and liabilities transacted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

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, in conjunction with its initial public offering, 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 which remained 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, 2018 and 2017, the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2013 Stock Plan increased by 1,461,671 and   1,403,616 shares of common stock, respectively, 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 common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number as determined by the compensation committee of the Board.  

23


 

The terms of stock award agreements, including vesting requirement s, are determined by the Board, or permissible designee thereof, subject to the provisions of the 2010 Stock Plan and the 2013 Stock Plan. Options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units granted by the Company typically vest over a four-year period. The options are exercisable from the date of grant for a period of 10 years. The exercise price for stock options granted is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable date of grant.

Restricted Stock

For restricted stock, including restricted stock units, 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. The following table shows a roll forward of restricted stock activity pursuant to the 2010 Stock Plan and the 2013 Stock Plan:

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

From time to time, we are a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. On July 28, 2017, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, against the Company and certain of its current and former executives, captioned Mahoney v. Foundation Medicine, Inc., et al. , No. 1:17-cv-11394. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions when providing 2015 financial guidance. The lawsuit seeks among other things, unspecified compensatory damages in connection with the Company’s allegedly inflated stock price between February 26, 2014 and November 3, 2015, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and unspecified equitable/injunctive relief.  On December 22, 2017, the plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions concerning providing 2015 financial guidance and other statements during the class period concerning demand and reimbursement for certain of the Company’s tests.  On February 20, 2018, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which plaintiffs opposed on April 23, 2018. On June 7, 2018, defendants filed a reply in further support of their motion to dismiss.  The court has not yet scheduled oral argument on defendants’ motion to dismiss. We believe this case is without merit and, therefore, continue to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations.  

On July 10, 2018, a putative securities class action complaint,  Wang v. Foundation Medicine, Inc. et al. , No. 1:18-cv-11435, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts by purported Company shareholder Elaine Wang against the Company and the Company’s directors in connection with the offer by Roche to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Offer”). An amended complaint (the “Wang Complaint”) was filed on July 11, 2018 against the Company, the Company’s directors and Roche. The Wang Complaint alleged that the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on July 2, 2018 in connection with the Offer omitted certain supposedly material information concerning (1) communications regarding the positions of the Company’s directors and officers following the transactions, (2) communications regarding compensation to be paid to the Company’s directors and officers in connection with the transactions, and (3) compensation received by Goldman Sachs in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and Roche Holdings’ 2015 investment in the Company. The Wang Complaint asserted claims against all the defendants for violation of Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and against the Company’s directors and Roche Holdings for violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Wang Complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On July 31, 2018, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, dismissing the case with prejudice.

On July 11, 2018, a putative securities class action complaint,  Kent v. Foundation Medicine, Inc. et al. , No. 1:18-cv-01028 (the “Kent Complaint”), was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by purported Company shareholder Michael Kent against the Company, the Company’s directors and Roche in connection with the Offer. The Kent Complaint alleged that the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on July 2, 2018 in connection with the Offer omitted certain supposedly material information concerning (1) communications regarding the positions of the Company’s directors and officers following the transactions and (2) compensation received by Goldman Sachs in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and Roche Holdings’ 2015 investment in the Company. The Kent Complaint asserted claims against all the defendants for violation of Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and against the Company’s directors and Roche for violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Kent Complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 2, 2018, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, dismissing the case without prejudice.

17.

Subsequent Events

On July 10, 2018, the Company and Roche entered into a Seventh Amendment to the R&D Collaboration Agreement, which modified certain capacity and fee provisions related to the molecular information platform program, effective as of April 7, 2018.

On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2018, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), with Roche Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent” or “Roche Holdings”), and 062018 Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the acquisition of the Company by Parent in a two-step all-cash transaction, consisting of a tender offer, followed by a subsequent back-end merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent caused Merger Sub to conduct a tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company at a price of $137.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on Monday, July 30, 2018. Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 12,535,376 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered and for which certificates were not yet delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 77.3% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding those Shares held by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and, when taken together with the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates, representing approximately 90.1% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer. In addition, the Depositary advised that, as of July 31, 2018, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery were delivered with respect to approximately 1,342,573 Shares that had not yet been tendered, representing approximately 3.6% of the outstanding Shares. Each condition to the Offer was satisfied, and Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn.

On July 31, 2018, the Merger was completed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with no vote of the Company’s stockholders required to consummate the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd.  The aggregate consideration paid by Merger Sub in the Offer and Merger to purchase all outstanding Shares (other than the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and other equity-based interests of the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, was approximately $2.2 billion.  

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company (i) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) requested that Nasdaq (x) halt trading in the Shares on the morning of July 31, 2018, prior to market open, and suspend trading of the Shares effective as of the close of business on July 31, 2018 and (y) file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has filed with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

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 unaudited 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, 2017. 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 II, Item 1A. of this Quarterly Report and our prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a molecular information company focused on fundamentally changing the way in which patients with cancer are evaluated and treated. We believe an information-based approach to making clinical treatment decisions based on comprehensive genomic profiling, or CGP, will become a standard of care for patients with cancer. We derive revenue from selling molecular information services that are enabled by our molecular information platform to physicians and biopharmaceutical companies. Our platform includes proprietary methods and algorithms for analyzing specimens across all types of cancer, and for incorporating that information into clinical care in a concise and user-friendly fashion. Our services provide genomic information about each patient’s individual cancer, enabling physicians to optimize treatments in clinical practice and biopharmaceutical companies to develop targeted oncology therapies more effectively. We believe we have a significant first mover advantage in providing a portfolio of CGP and molecular information services on a commercial scale.

Our clinical molecular information services, which include FoundationOne CDx, a U.S. Food & Drug Administration, or FDA, approved broad companion diagnostic assay for solid tumors, FoundationOne for solid tumors, FoundationOneHeme for blood-based cancers, or hematologic malignancies, and sarcomas, and FoundationACT, a blood-based (liquid biopsy) assay to measure circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, are widely available comprehensive genomic profiles designed for use in the routine care of patients with cancer and in research.

Following the FDA’s approval of FoundationOne CDx in November 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, issued a final National Coverage Determination, or NCD, in March 2018 that establishes nationwide Medicare coverage for FoundationOne CDx for all solid tumor types when ordered by the patient’s treating physician for Medicare beneficiaries with advanced cancer ( i.e., either recurrent, relapsed, refractory, metastatic, or advanced stages III or IV cancer), who either have not been previously tested using FoundationOne CDx for the same primary diagnosis of cancer or are seeking repeat testing with FoundationOne CDx for a new primary cancer diagnosis, and continue to seek further cancer therapy.

To accelerate commercial growth and enhance our competitive advantage, we are continuing to develop and commercialize new molecular information services for physicians and biopharmaceutical companies, to strengthen our commercial organization, to introduce new marketing, education and provider engagement efforts, to grow our molecular information knowledgebase, FoundationCore, to pursue reimbursement from government payors and regional and national third-party commercial payors, to publish scientific and medical advances, and to foster relationships throughout the oncology community.

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, FoundationOneHeme, FoundationACT and FoundationOne CDx. We have incurred significant losses since our inception, and as of June 30, 2018 our accumulated deficit was $558.9 million. We expect to continue to incur operating losses over the near term as we expand our commercial operations, including supporting the commercial launch of FoundationOne CDx, invest in our molecular information platform and additional services, and continue to scale our technology and data infrastructure.

FoundationOne, FoundationOneHeme, and FoundationACT have been commercialized as laboratory developed tests, or LDTs, which are subject to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) and are not currently regulated as medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. FoundationOne CDx is an FDA-approved companion diagnostic assay. We believe our work developing companion diagnostic assays with our biopharmaceutical partners accelerates our progress in this area, and is a key component of our strategy and a significant differentiator for our business.

Recent Developments

On April 11, 2018, we announced the presentation of new findings at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, supporting the use of both tissue- and blood-based CGP, to advance personalized cancer care and inform the use of targeted and immunotherapy treatment approaches.

On April 26, 2018, we announced that the FDA granted a Breakthrough Device designation (formerly Expedited Access Pathway program) for our new liquid biopsy assay, which is an expanded version of our FoundationACT   assay. The new assay will

27


 

include more than 70 genes and genomic biomarkers for microsatellite instability, or MS I, and blood tumor mutational burden , or bTMB . If approved, this test could be the first FDA-approved liquid biopsy assay to incorporate multiple companion diagnostics and multiple biomarkers to inform the use of targeted oncology therapies, including i mmunotherapies .

On April 26, 2018, we announced a three-party collaboration with Roche and Dian Diagnostics Group, Co., Ltd., or Dian, to integrate the Company’s CGP assays into clinical patient care in mainland China and establish a collaboration with Dian for the purpose of implementing our Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement in China. Under the collaboration, Dian is the exclusive clinical sequencing partner in China for FoundationOne, FoundationACT and FoundationOneHeme, enabling the delivery of molecular information services associated with these tests for patients in China. Roche maintains commercial exclusivity for the Company’s molecular information services in China, and in cooperation with Dian continues its current in-county activities to support the broad integration of CGP into clinical care.

On May 2, 2018, we announced a comprehensive gene expression profiling (GEP) program to support precision oncology clinical research and development, or R&D.

On May 21, 2018, we announced that under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA) CMS approved new Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Test (ADLT) status for FoundationOne CDx. 

On May 24, 2018, we announced a collaboration with Merck, known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, to develop immuno-oncology companion diagnostic tests for use with KEYTRUDA ®  (pembrolizumab), Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy and the first approved immunotherapy for MSI high or mismatch repair deficient solid tumors. The companies will collaborate on the development of a pan-cancer companion diagnostic to measure MSI, potentially companion diagnostics for tumor mutational burden, or TMB, and other potential novel biomarkers of response.

On May 29, 2018, we announced that new data generated from our CGP assays was to be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting from June 1-5, 2018 in Chicago. The company and our collaborators presented a total of 28 studies, including two oral presentations.

On June 18, 2018, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with Roche and 062018 Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Roche, or Merger Sub, providing for the acquisition of us by Roche in a two-step all-cash transaction, consisting of a tender offer, or the Offer, followed by a subsequent back-end merger of Merger Sub with and into us, or the Merger, with us surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, Roche caused Merger Sub to commence the Offer for all of our outstanding shares of common stock not beneficially held by Roche at a purchase price of $137.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes, and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. 

On July 10, 2018, we and Roche entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Research and Development Collaboration Agreement, or R&D Collaboration Agreement, which modified certain capacity and fee provisions related to the molecular information platform program, effective as of April 7, 2018.

On July 18, 2018, we and Guardant Health, Inc. announced an agreement to settle a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Foundation Medicine against Guardant concerning U.S. Patent No. 9,340,830. Under the terms of the settlement, the lawsuit and counterclaims, as well as challenges to the patent in inter partes review, have been dismissed.

Acquisition

On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2018, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), with Roche Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent” or “Roche Holdings”), and 062018 Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the acquisition of the Company by Parent in a two-step all-cash transaction, consisting of a tender offer, followed by a subsequent back-end merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent caused Merger Sub to conduct a tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company at a price of $137.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on Monday, July 30, 2018. Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 12,535,376 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered and for which certificates were not yet delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 77.3% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding those Shares held by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and, when taken together with the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates, representing approximately 90.1% of the Shares outstanding as

28


 

of the expiration of the Offer. In addition, the Depositary advised that, as of July 31, 2018, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery were delivered with respect to approximately 1,342 ,573 Shares that had not yet been tendered, representing approximately 3.6% of the outstanding Shares. Each condition to the Offer was satisfied, and Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn.

On July 31, 2018, the Merger was completed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with no vote of the Company’s stockholders required to consummate the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd.  The aggregate consideration paid by Merger Sub in the Offer and Merger to purchase all outstanding Shares (other than the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and other equity-based interests of the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, was approximately $2.2 billion.  

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company (i) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) requested that Nasdaq (x) halt trading in the Shares on the morning of July 31, 2018, prior to market open, and suspend trading of the Shares effective as of the close of business on July 31, 2018 and (y) file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has filed with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

We derive revenue from the provision of molecular information services provided to our ordering physicians and biopharmaceutical customers, as well as from pharma research and development services provided to our biopharmaceutical customers. Molecular information services include molecular profiling and the delivery of other molecular information derived from our platform. Pharma research and development services include the development of new platforms and information solutions, including companion diagnostic development. We currently receive payments from commercial third-party payors, Medicare, certain hospitals and cancer centers with which we have direct-bill relationships, individual patients, and our biopharmaceutical customers.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company began recognizing revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers , or ASC 606. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, meaning the cumulative effect of applying ASC 606 has been recognized to accumulated deficit at January 1, 2018, the date of adoption of ASC 606, and prior comparative periods will not be recast to reflect ASC 606. As a result, revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is presented in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , or ASC 605, whereas revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is presented under ASC 606. ASC 606 provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Our clinical contracts included within molecular information services typically have a single performance obligation to transfer molecular profiling services to either a patient or a facility. In certain limited contracted scenarios, such as arrangements with academic medical centers, the transaction price is stated within the contract and is therefore fixed consideration. For most of our clinical volume, we identified the patient as the customer in Step 1 of the model and have determined an implied contract exists with the patient. As such, a stated contract price does not exist and the transaction price for each contract represents variable consideration. In developing the estimate of variable consideration, we utilize the expected value method under a portfolio approach. Our estimate requires significant judgement and is developed using historical reimbursement data from payors and patients, as well as known current reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data. As these contracts typically have a single performance obligation, no allocation of the transaction price is required in Step 4 of the model. Molecular information services are transferred to our ordering physicians at a point in time. Specifically, we determined the customer obtains control of the promised service upon our delivery of the test results. Certain incremental costs, such as commissions, are incurred in obtaining clinical contracts. We have elected to utilize the practical expedient method to expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract that meet the capitalization criteria, as the amortization period of any contract acquisition asset would be one year or less due to the short-term nature of our clinical contracts.

For the majority of 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 most commercial third-party payors and, therefore, do not have specific coverage decisions from those third-party payors for our services with established payment rates. As a result, for most of our commercial third-party payors we are not a contracted provider and, therefore, do not have specific coverage decisions from those third-party payors for our specific services with established payment rates. Currently, most of the commercial third-party payors that reimburse our claims do so based upon Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, codes, the predominant methodology, or based on other methods such as percentages of charges or other formulas that, to our knowledge are not specific to us, and are not made known to us. In addition, a small portion of commercial third-

29


 

party payors outsource our claims to preferred provider organizations or third-party administrators, which entities process our claims and pay us direct ly at negotiated rates. Further, coverage and payment for reimbursem ent claims for our services are determined by each third-party payor on a case-by-case basis .

As of June 30, 2018, we were not a participating provider in any state Medicaid program, and therefore, did not have coverage determinations under which our tests were covered by these Medicaid programs. We are a participating provider in the Medicare program.

For tests that we offer that are not subject to an NCD, local Medicare Administrative Contractors, or MACs, that administer the Medicare program in various regions may, in their discretion but subject to Medicare rules, determine coverage, rates of reimbursement and payment.

The local MAC for our laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts is National Government Services which succeeded the previous local MAC NHIC, Corp., or NHIC.  In connection with the launch of FoundationOne, our first commercial test, and following discussions with NHIC, we agreed to not submit claims for FoundationOne tests provided to Medicare patients while NHIC assessed the appropriate coding, coverage, and payment for FoundationOne as a whole. To accommodate NHIC’s request, we deferred the submission of claims until November 2013, when we commenced the process of submitting claims to National Government Services for FoundationOne and FoundationOneHeme tests for Medicare patients with dates of service on or after November 1, 2013. We have submitted these claims for FoundationOne and FoundationOneHeme tests to National Government Services using a miscellaneous CPT code, and have not recognized revenue from Medicare for those claims to date. National Government Services, issued a final Local Coverage Determination, or LCD, effective April 1, 2016, to provide coverage for hotspot tests of 5 to 50 genes for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC. We do not believe this LCD reflects coverage for our CGP services, which include comprehensive analysis of greater than 50 genes and all classes of alterations. As of June 30, 2018, National Government Services has either denied the FoundationOne or FoundationOneHeme claims that we have submitted using stacked CPT codes, or not processed and reimbursed us for the claims in a manner that we believe is consistent with applicable processing guidelines. In August 2016, we began submitting claims for FoundationACT tests associated with our Cambridge, Massachusetts laboratory to National Government Services using stacked CPT codes, and as of June 30, 2018, we have recognized revenue from many of those claims .

The local MAC for our laboratory in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, is Palmetto GBA, or Palmetto.  In May 2016, Palmetto issued a final LCD, or Palmetto LCD, to cover highly validated CGP received by Medicare patients initially diagnosed with Stage IIIB and Stage IV NSCLC and who otherwise meet the eligibility criteria of the Palmetto LCD.

In January 2017, we began submitting claims to Palmetto for FoundationOne test requisitions where components of our testing services were performed in our North Carolina facility. In March 2017, we began receiving payment for eligible NSCLC claims submitted under the Palmetto LCD based upon the allowable rate of $3,416 per test. In December 2016, Palmetto originally issued three draft LCDs for the use of CGP to guide treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, with metastatic melanoma, and with advanced primary peritoneal, fallopian tube and ovarian cancer, respectively. In March 2018, Palmetto re-issued revised versions of these draft LCDs, and accepted public comments on such drafts until May 10, 2018.  If finalized as proposed, FoundationOne will be covered by Medicare when provided to patients with these conditions consistent with the terms of these LCDs.

In accordance with an exception to Medicare’s Date of Service rule, commonly known as the 14-Day Rule, for a subset of Medicare claims we are required to bill the ordering institution directly instead of submitting claims to Medicare. We have recognized revenue associated with these bills upon receipt of payment from the institution.

We expect that our current lack of broad coverage decisions among commercial third-party payors, the fact that we are currently a contracted provider with only a few commercial third-party payors and the general uncertainty around reimbursement for our tests will continue to negatively impact our revenue and earnings. For Medicare tests we offer that are not subject to an NCD, a MAC having jurisdiction over any one of our laboratory facilities could issue a negative coverage determination for one or more of our tests that would apply to future claims for tests performed at the relevant facility and that MAC could defer processing claims pending a coverage or payment determination.

As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $53.4 million. If we are not able to obtain additional coverage decisions over the longer term, and our available cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flows from operations, and available borrowings are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. As of June 30, 2018, under the Credit Facility Agreement with Roche Finance Ltd dated August 2, 2016, as amended by the Amendment Letter Agreement with Roche Finance Ltd, dated July 31, 2017, or the Roche Credit Facility, we have $90 million of unused and available credit.  Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

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 bill patients for amounts that are determined to be due from the patient. We initiated the process to seek reimbursement from Medicare at the end of 2013, and as part of the Medicare reimbursement process, we seek advance beneficiary notices (ABNs) from Medicare patients to enable us to bill a Medicare patient for all or part of a claim that is denied coverage by Medicare. We offer a

30


 

comprehensive patient assistance program to provide financial support to patients wh ose incomes are below certain thresholds, and we also may allow for extended payment terms, as necessary, given the patient’s economic situation .

Our biopharma contracts included within molecular information services may include single or multiple performance obligations depending on the contract, and may include different molecular information service offerings, such as molecular profiling, provision of data through either database queries or subscription access to our platform, and clinical trial enrollment assistance, as separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and therefore distinct performance obligations.

The transaction price in biopharma molecular information service contracts is typically fixed consideration. In certain instances, contracts may include variable consideration. In these contracts, variable consideration is estimated utilizing the expected value method. The primary method used to determine standalone selling price for the biopharma molecular information services is observable standalone selling price. When standalone selling price is not directly observable, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price for molecular information services is the adjusted market assessment approach, under which we evaluate the market in which we sell the services and estimate the price that a customer in that market would be willing to pay for those services.

Control over biopharma molecular information services from molecular profiling and database queries is transferred to customers at a point in time. We determined the customer obtains control of the promised service upon delivery of the test results or the delivery of responses to database queries to the biopharma partner. Control over biopharma molecular information services from subscription access to our data platform is transferred to customers ratably over time. We determined that the customer obtains control of the promised service as we host the content throughout the contract term. Control over biopharma molecular information services from clinical trial enrollment assistance is transferred to customers ratably over time. We determined that the customer obtains control of the promised service as we stand ready to perform such services throughout the contract term.

Pharma research and development services may include single or multiple performance obligations dependent on the contract. R&D services typically represent a single performance obligation as the Company performs a significant integration service for the individual goods or services in the research and development workstream, such as analytical validation and regulatory submissions. The individual promises are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, are not distinct. However, in certain contracts, a partner may engage the Company for multiple distinct R&D workstreams which are both capable of being distinct and separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, distinct performance obligations. Additionally, for regulatory contracts in pursuit of approval of a companion diagnostic assay, the Company identifies a performance obligation for commercial availability of the assay subsequent to obtaining regulatory approval.

The transaction price can consist of a combination of an upfront fee, performance-based development milestones, cost reimbursement, fixed per sample fees, commercial royalties, and commercial milestones. With the exception of upfront and fixed per sample fees, the other forms of compensation represent variable consideration. Variable consideration in the form of cost reimbursement and commercial royalties is estimated using the expected value method. Variable consideration in the form of development and commercial milestones is estimated using the most likely amount method. All variable consideration is constrained such that it is probable a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Application of the constraint for variable consideration to milestone payments is an area that requires significant judgment. In making this assessment, the Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be managed to achieve the respective milestone and the level of effort and investment required to achieve the respective milestone.

The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price for the R&D service performance obligations is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying each performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price for a commercial availability performance obligation is the adjusted market assessment approach, under which we evaluate the market in which we sell the services and estimate the price that a customer in that market would be willing to pay for those services. The estimation of standalone selling price is an area that requires significant judgment, as it impacts the allocation objective in Step 4 of the model. Revenue will be recognized over time for R&D services and commercial availability services. Specifically, for R&D services we will recognize revenue using an input method to measure progress, utilizing costs incurred to-date relative to total expected costs as our measure of progress. For commercial availability services, we will recognize revenue using an input method to measure progress, resulting in a time-elapsed measure of progress.

The Company performs R&D services as part of its normal activities. The Company records these payments as Pharma research and development services revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The R&D costs incurred by the Company under these arrangements are included as Research and development expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss given these costs are related to the development of new services to be owned and offered by the Company to its customers.

Cos t of Molecular Information Services Revenue and Operating Expenses

We allocate certain overhead expenses, such as rent, utilities, and depreciation to cost of molecular information services 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 Molecular Information Services Revenue

Cost of molecular information services revenue generally consists of specific reagents, specific consumable lab supplies, and shared costs that are allocated to our molecular information services – our FoundationOne CDx, FoundationOne, FoundationOneHeme, and FoundationACT tests – either on a direct or indirect basis, resulting in an overall cost for each specific test. The shared costs that are allocated to each test include personnel expenses (comprised of salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expenses), depreciation of laboratory equipment and amortization of leasehold improvements, shipping costs, third-party laboratory costs, and certain overhead expenses. Costs associated with performing tests are recorded as tests are processed.

Cost of Related-Party Molecular Information Services Revenue from Roche

Cost of Related-party molecular information services revenue from Roche is generally derived by taking the cost per test described above and applying it to each of the FoundationOne CDx, FoundationOne, FoundationOneHeme and FoundationACT tests processed for Roche. Costs of Related-party molecular information services revenue from Roche are associated with performing molecular information services for Roche under both the (i) molecular information platform program within our R&D Collaboration Agreement with Roche, and (ii) our Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement with Roche. Revenues from tests performed by us under the molecular information platform and the Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement are recognized in the Related-party molecular information services from Roche caption within our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Our selling 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 selling and marketing costs as incurred.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, our selling and marketing expenses represented approximately 30% and 49%, respectively, of our total revenue and during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, selling and marketing expenses represented approximately 32% and 55%, respectively, of our total revenue. We expect our selling and marketing expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we grow our client service infrastructure, increase our marketing and medical affairs activities to drive further awareness and adoption of our current molecular information services, and any future services we may develop.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses include costs for our executive, accounting and finance, legal, corporate information technology, 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, 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 associated with increased infrastructure and headcount. These costs include additional legal and accounting expenses, including ongoing litigation, and an increase in billing costs related to our anticipated increase in revenues.

32


 

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of new and enhanced services, immunotherapy biomarker-testing, companion diagnostic development, significant service improvements, clinical trials to evaluate the clinical utility of our services, the development of our FoundationCore knowledgebase, and various technology applications such as FoundationSmartTrials. Costs to develop our technology capabilities are recorded as research and development unless they meet the criteria to be capitalized as internal-use software costs. Our R&D 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 FoundationCore;

 

clinical trials;

 

laboratory supplies; and

 

allocated overhead expenses.

Costs incurred for the performance of pharma research and development services requested by our biopharmaceutical customers, including non-molecular information services costs incurred under the R&D Collaboration Agreement with Roche, are included as research and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, given these costs are related to the development of new services to be owned and offered by us to our customers. Revenues from these services are recognized in the Pharma research and development services and Related-party pharma research and development services from Roche captions within our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Interest (Expense) Income, Net

Interest (expense) income, net includes interest expense and interest income. Interest expense consists primarily of the quarterly commitment fee on the available balance under the Roche Credit Facility and interest expense on outstanding borrowings under the Roche Credit Facility. Interest income is earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Other Income

Other income includes the gain equity investments, disposal of certain long-lived assets, and foreign exchange transactions.

Molecular information services revenue, including Roche related -p arty revenue, increased to $50.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $30.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 . Revenue from tests reported to our orde ring physicians i ncreased to $23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 . The increase in re venue was partly driven by the increase in the number of tests reported for patients located in the United States, including the commercial launch of FoundationOne CDx, as well as an increase in revenue recorded under our Roche Ex-U.S . Commercialization Ag reement. The change to revenue recognition under ASC 606 was not a reason for the increase in revenue from tests reported to our ordering physicians, as clinical revenue under ASC 605 in the three months ended June 30 , 2018 w ould have been approximately $ 2 5.7 million .

Molecular information services revenue from our biopharma customers increased to $26.9 million from $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and was driven by increased testing volume from new and existing customers.

Related-party molecular information services revenue from Roche was $12.0 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the majority of which is revenue earned under the Molecular Information Platform Program and Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we reported a total of 22,991 CGP tests for clinical use to ordering physicians, including 6,274 FoundationOne CDx tests, 1,984 FoundationOneHeme tests, and 1,937 FoundationACT tests, as compared to 15,924 tests reported during the three months ended June 30, 2017, including 1,608 FoundationOneHeme tests, 1,594 FoundationACT tests, and 280 FoundationFocus CDx BRCA tests.

For CGP tests delivered in the US for clinical use during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we estimate we will be paid on approximately 37% of these tests at an average rate of approximately $2,600 when paid. Despite our lack of broad coverage decisions across many commercial third-party payors, we have been partially successful in securing reimbursement from these payors. However, it is difficult to predict future reimbursement as a result of variable reimbursement payments and continuously developing coverage decisions.

We delivered the results of 6,741 and 4,762 tests to our biopharmaceutical customers during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the average revenue per test sold was approximately $3,200 and $3,400 for the same periods.

Pharma Research and Development Services

Pharma research and development services revenue, including Roche related-party revenue, increased to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $4.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily driven by revenue earned under R&D service agreements with our various biopharma partners. Pharma research and development services revenue under ASC 605 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 would have totaled approximately $10.3 million. The decrease of approximately $4.0 million of revenue recorded under ASC 606 results from achievement of performance-based milestones for companion diagnostic development services performed for a biopharma partner. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, certain milestones were achieved which lifted the ASC 605 limitation on revenue recognition which existed at March 31, 2018 related to our right to invoice upon achievement of milestones. Under ASC 606, revenue for the earned portion of these services, based on our measure of progress of work performed to-date, was previously recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2018, as ASC 606 revenue recognition is not limited by achievement of such milestones.

Related-party pharma research and development services for Roche includes related-party revenue from Roche of $2.6 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue earned under the Companion Diagnostic (CDx) Development Program and was not affected by the adoption of ASC 606.

Cost of Molecular Information Services

Cost of molecular information services revenue, including Roche related-party revenue, increased to $27.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $21.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was driven by a 44% increase in tests reported to our ordering physicians. Additional volume led to higher reagent and consumable costs, additional laboratory personnel-related costs and facilities costs, and higher depreciation expense related to new equipment purchases. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, our total cost of molecular information services revenue represented approximately 54% and 71% of our total molecular information services revenue, respectively.

Cost of related-party molecular information services from Roche was $4.8 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the number of tests delivered under the Molecular Information Platform Program and Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses were $17.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributed to a $1.8 million increase in merger-related transaction fees.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased to $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $23.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributed to a $1.8 million increase in personnel-related costs, a $1.5 million increase in system-related costs, $0.5 million increase in consulting costs, offset by a $1.2 million decrease in lab supplies and a $0.9 million decrease in facility-related costs.

Interest (Expense) Income, Net

Interest expense was $1.7 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase was primarily related to interest incurred on the Roche Credit Facility which was first drawn on in the third quarter of 2017. Interest income was $0.2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Other Income

Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.2 million and related to a gain on an equity investment.

Molecular information services revenue, including Roche related-party revenue, increased to $97.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $51.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Revenue from tests reported to our ordering physicians increased to $42.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in revenue was partly driven by the increase in the number of tests reported for patients located in the United States, including the commercial launch of FoundationOne CDx, as well as an increase in revenue recorded under our Roche Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement. The change to accrual basis revenue under ASC 606 was not a reason for the increase in revenue from tests reported to our ordering physicians, as clinical revenue under ASC 605 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have been approximately $47.7 million, inclusive of certain one-time catch up payments.

Molecular information services revenue from our biopharma customers increased to $54.7 million from $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and was driven by increased testing volume from new and existing customers.

Related-party molecular information services revenue from Roche was $26.8 million and $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the majority of which is revenue earned under the Molecular Information Platform Program and Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we reported a total of 44,852 CGP tests for clinical use to ordering physicians, including 6,274 FoundationOne CDx tests, 3,989 FoundationOneHeme tests, and 4,060 FoundationACT tests, as compared to 29,857 tests reported during the six months ended June 30, 2017, including 2,892 FoundationOneHeme tests, 2,949 FoundationACT tests, and 569 FoundationFocus CDx BRCA tests.

For CGP tests delivered in the US for clinical use during the six months ended June 30, 2018, we estimate we will be paid on approximately 33% of these tests at an average rate of approximately $2,600 when paid. Despite our lack of broad coverage decisions across many commercial third-party payors, we have been partially successful in securing reimbursement from these payors. However, it is difficult to predict future reimbursement as a result of variable reimbursement payments and continuously developing coverage decisions.

We delivered the results of 13,925 and 6,564 tests to our biopharmaceutical customers during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the average revenue per test sold was approximately $3,200 and $3,400 for the same periods.

Pharma Research and Development Services

Pharma research and development services revenue, including Roche related-party revenue, increased to $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $9.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily driven by revenue earned under R&D service agreements with our various biopharma partners. Pharma research and development services

37


 

revenue under ASC 605 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have totaled appro ximately $12.7 million. The decrease of approximately $0.2 m illion of revenue recorded under ASC 606 is the result of timing differences between ASC 605 and ASC 606 as it relates to milestone achievement and related revenue recognition.

Related-party pharma research and development services for Roche includes related-party revenue from Roche of $4.0 million and $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue earned under the Companion Diagnostic (CDx) Development Program and was not affected by the adoption of ASC 606.

Cost of Molecular Information Services

Cost of molecular information services revenue, including Roche related-party revenue, increased to $54.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $39.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was driven by a 50% increase in tests reported to our ordering physicians. Additional volume led to higher reagent and consumable costs, additional laboratory personnel-related costs and facilities costs, and higher depreciation expense related to new equipment purchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, our total cost of molecular information services revenue represented approximately 56% and 77% of our total molecular information services revenue, respectively.

Cost of related-party molecular information services from Roche was $10.7 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the number of tests delivered under the Molecular Information Platform Program and Ex-U.S. Commercialization Agreement.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $33.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.8 million in marketing-related costs and $0.3 million increase in facility-related costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased to $40.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $6.2 million in legal costs, which include $1.8 million in merger-related transaction fees, and a $0.5 million increase in other professional services related fees.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased to $48.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $46.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributed to a $3.8 million increase in personnel-related costs, a $3.1 million increase in system-related costs, and a $1.9 million increase in consulting-related costs, offset by a $5.0 million decrease in lab supplies, a $0.8 million decrease in clinical-trial costs, and a $0.7 million decrease in facility-related costs.

Interest (Expense) Income, Net

Interest expense was $2.9 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase was primarily related to interest incurred on the Roche Credit Facility which was first drawn on in the third quarter of 2017. Interest income was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Other Income

Other income during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.2 million and related to a gain on an equity investment. Other income during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.1 million and related to a gain on disposal of certain long-lived assets and foreign exchange transactions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception in November 2009, and as of June 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $558.9 million.

We have funded our operations principally from the sale of common stock, preferred stock, borrowings under our credit facilities, and revenue from molecular information services and pharma research and development services. We have a limited number of coverage decisions for our existing tests from commercial third-party payors and have a limited history of collecting claims. We

38


 

will continue to make requests for payment and/or appeal payment decisions made by commercial third-party payors. As of June 30, 2018 , we had cash, cash equivalents , and restricted cash of approximately $ 55.7 million.

Pursuant to the Roche Credit Facility, which was amended on July 31, 2017, during the four-year period ending August 2, 2020, or the Draw Period, we may borrow up to $200 million. As of June 30, 2018, we have $110 million in borrowings outstanding and $90 million currently available under the facility. During the Draw Period, we are paying Roche Finance a quarterly commitment fee of 0.4% on the available balance of the Roche Credit Facility. Loans made under the Roche Credit Facility bear interest at 6.5% per annum. We are obligated to pay Roche Finance, quarterly during the Draw Period and for six months thereafter, accrued interest on the outstanding principal of the loans. Beginning six months after the Draw Period and for five years thereafter, we are obligated to pay Roche Finance quarterly equal payments of principal, with accrued interest, until maturity of the Roche Credit Facility on February 2, 2026.

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 $60.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $66.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was driven primarily by a decrease in net loss of $19.9 million and a $1.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense partially offset by an increase of $10.0 million in cash used for working capital and a $5.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $13.0 million and consisted of purchases of property and equipment. Net cash provided in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $37.7 million and consisted of $49.4 million in proceeds received from maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $6.7 million in purchases of property and equipment and $5.0 million in purchases of marketable securities and other investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $55.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and consisted of $50 million in cash borrowings under the Roche Credit Facility and $5.3 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and consisted solely of proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.

Operating Capital Requirements

We expect to incur additional operating losses in the near future and our operating expenses will increase as we seek regulatory approval of certain services, scale our technology infrastructure, expand our sales force, increase our marketing efforts to drive market adoption of our molecular information services, innovate our molecular information platform, and develop new service offerings. Our liquidity requirements have consisted of, and will continue to consist of, selling and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate expenses. If demand for our services continues to increase, we anticipate that our capital expenditure requirements will also increase in order to build additional capacity. We expect that our planned

39


 

expenditures will be funded from our ongoing operations, from our existing cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under the Roche Credit Facility.

In April 2015, the Roche transaction was consummated, and we received $250.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Roche at a price of $50.00 per share. On July 31, 2017, we amended the Roche Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Roche Credit Facility, as amended, during the Draw Period, we may borrow up to $200 million. We have currently borrowed $110 million and have immediate access to an additional $90 million. During the Draw Period, we shall pay Roche Finance a quarterly commitment fee of 0.4% on the available balance of the Roche Credit Facility. Loans made under the Roche Credit Facility bear interest at 6.5% per annum. We shall pay Roche Finance, quarterly during the Draw Period and for six months thereafter, accrued interest on the outstanding principal of the loans. Beginning six months after the Draw Period and for five years thereafter, we shall pay Roche Finance quarterly equal payments of principal, with accrued interest, until maturity of the Roche Credit Facility on February 2, 2026. Based on our current business plan, we believe our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018, the availability of borrowings under the Roche Credit Facility, and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We may consider raising additional capital to pursue strategic investments or for other reasons, subject to certain consent rights of Roche contained in the Investor Rights Agreement and the Roche Credit Facility. In the future, we expect our operating and capital expenditures to increase as we increase our headcount, expand our selling and marketing activities and continue to invest in new service offerings. If sales of our services grow, we expect our accounts receivable balance to increase. Any increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses may not completely offset increases in accounts receivable, which could result in greater working capital requirements.  

On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2018, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), with Roche Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent” or “Roche Holdings”), and 062018 Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the acquisition of the Company by Parent in a two-step all-cash transaction, consisting of a tender offer, followed by a subsequent back-end merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent caused Merger Sub to conduct a tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company at a price of $137.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on Monday, July 30, 2018. Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 12,535,376 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered and for which certificates were not yet delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 77.3% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding those Shares held by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and, when taken together with the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates, representing approximately 90.1% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer. In addition, the Depositary advised that, as of July 31, 2018, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery were delivered with respect to approximately 1,342,573 Shares that had not yet been tendered, representing approximately 3.6% of the outstanding Shares. Each condition to the Offer was satisfied, and Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn.

On July 31, 2018, the Merger was completed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with no vote of the Company’s stockholders required to consummate the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Roche Holding Ltd.  The aggregate consideration paid by Merger Sub in the Offer and Merger to purchase all outstanding Shares (other than the Shares owned by Roche Holdings and its affiliates) and other equity-based interests of the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, was approximately $2.2 billion.  

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company (i) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) requested that Nasdaq (x) halt trading in the Shares on the morning of July 31, 2018, prior to market open, and suspend trading of the Shares effective as of the close of business on July 31, 2018 and (y) file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has filed with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

We shall pay Roche Finance a quarterly commitment fee of 0.4% on the available balance of the Roche Credit Facility. Loans made under the Roche Credit Facility bear interest at 6.5% per annum. We shall pay Roche Finance, quarterly during the Draw Period and for six months thereafter, accrued interest on the outstanding principal of the loans. Beginning six months after the Draw Period and for five years thereafter, we shall pay Roche Finance quarterly equal payments of principal, with accrued interest, until maturity of the Roche Credit Facility on February 2, 2026. As of June 30, 2018, we had $110 million in borrowings outstanding under the Roche Credit Facility. For further details on the Roche Credit Facility, refer to footnote 11 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements .

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 SEC.

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, 2017, beyond the adoption of ASC 606 described in Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

There were no material changes during the three months ended June 30, 2018, 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, 2017.

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 Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

41


 

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 June 30, 2018, there were 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 Exchange Act, 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

From time to time, we are a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. On July 28, 2017, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, against the Company and certain of its current and former executives, captioned Mahoney v. Foundation Medicine, Inc., et al. , No. 1:17-cv-11394. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions when providing 2015 financial guidance. The lawsuit seeks among other things, unspecified compensatory damages in connection with the Company’s allegedly inflated stock price between February 26, 2014 and November 3, 2015, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and unspecified equitable/injunctive relief.  On December 22, 2017, the plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder based on allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions concerning providing 2015 financial guidance and other statements during the class period concerning demand and reimbursement for certain of the Company’s tests.  On February 20, 2018, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which plaintiffs opposed on April 23, 2018. On June 7, 2018, defendants filed a reply in further support of their motion to dismiss.  The court has not yet scheduled oral argument on defendants’ motion to dismiss. We believe this case is without merit and, therefore, continue to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations.

On July 10, 2018, a putative securities class action complaint,  Wang v. Foundation Medicine, Inc. et al. , No. 1:18-cv-11435, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts by purported Company shareholder Elaine Wang against the Company and the Company’s directors in connection with the offer by Roche to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Offer”). An amended complaint (the “Wang Complaint”) was filed on July 11, 2018 against the Company, the Company’s directors and Roche. The Wang Complaint alleged that the Schedule 14D-9 filed on July 2, 2018 in connection with the Offer omitted certain supposedly material information concerning (1) communications regarding the positions of the Company’s directors and officers following the transactions, (2) communications regarding compensation to be paid to the Company’s directors and officers in connection with the transactions, and (3) compensation received by Goldman Sachs in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and Roche Holdings’ 2015 investment in the Company. The Wang Complaint asserted claims against all the defendants for violation of Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and against the Company’s directors and Roche Holdings for violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Wang Complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On July 31, 2018, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, dismissing the case with prejudice.

On July 11, 2018, a putative securities class action complaint,  Kent v. Foundation Medicine, Inc. et al. , No. 1:18-cv-01028 (the “Kent Complaint”), was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by purported Company shareholder Michael Kent against the Company, the Company’s directors and Roche in connection with the Offer. The Kent Complaint alleged that the Schedule 14D-9 filed on July 2, 2018 in connection with the Offer omitted certain supposedly material information concerning (1) communications regarding the positions of the Company’s directors and officers following the transactions and (2) compensation received by Goldman Sachs in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and Roche Holdings’ 2015 investment in the Company. The Kent Complaint asserted claims against all the defendants for violation of Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and against the Company’s directors and Roche for violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Kent Complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 2, 2018, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, dismissing the case without prejudice.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The risk factors described below pertain to us as of the date hereof and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The risk factors included in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report should be carefully considered although these risks are not the only risks we face. 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. If any such risks or uncertainties actually occur, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, and could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline.

Reimbursement and Regulatory Risks Relating to Our Business

If commercial third-party payors or government payors fail to provide coverage or adequate reimbursement, or if there is a decrease in the extent of coverage or amount of reimbursement for our existing services or any future services we develop, our revenue and prospects for profitability would be harmed.

Overview

In both domestic and many international markets, sales of our existing and any future services we develop will depend, in large part, upon the availability of adequate reimbursement from third-party payors. These third-party payors include government healthcare programs in various markets, such as Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, managed care providers, accountable care organizations, private health insurers, and other organizations. We believe that obtaining a positive Medicare Local Coverage Determination, or LCD, or National Coverage Determination, or NCD, and a favorable Medicare reimbursement rate, and obtaining the agreement of established commercial third-party payors to provide coverage and adequate payment, for each of our existing services, and any future services we develop, across substantially all medically indicated cancers will be a necessary element in achieving material commercial success. Physicians may not order our services unless commercial third-party payors and government payors authorize coverage and pay for all, or a substantial portion, of the rates established for our services.

Commercial third-party payors and government payors are increasingly attempting to contain healthcare costs by lowering reimbursement rates, limiting coverage of diagnostic services, and creating conditions of reimbursement, such as requiring participation in clinical evidence development involving research studies and the collection of physician decision impact and patient outcomes data. Certain commercial third-party payors may not agree to reimburse our existing services or future services if the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, or the Medicare administrative contractors, or MACs, assigned to the jurisdictions in which our operational laboratory facilities are located do not issue positive coverage decisions, and pay for, such services. As a result of these cost-containment trends, commercial third-party payors and government payors that currently provide, or in the future may provide, reimbursement for one or more of our services may propose and/or actually reduce, suspend, revoke, or discontinue payments or coverage at any time. Payors may also create conditions for coverage or may contract with third-party vendors to manage laboratory benefits, in both cases creating administrative hurdles for ordering physicians and patients that may make our services more difficult to sell. The percentage of submitted claims that are ultimately paid, the length of time to receive payment on claims, and the average reimbursement of those paid claims is likely to vary from period to period.

There is significant uncertainty surrounding whether the use of services that incorporate new technology, such as our portfolio of molecular information services, will be eligible for coverage by commercial third-party payors and government payors or, if eligible for coverage, what the reimbursement rates will be for these services. The fact that a diagnostic service has been approved for reimbursement in the past, has received approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, or FDA, or has obtained coverage for any particular indication or in any particular jurisdiction, does not guarantee that such diagnostic service will remain covered and/or reimbursed or that similar or additional diagnostic services and/or clinically indicated tumor types will be covered and/or reimbursed in the future. We have had claims for reimbursement denied by certain commercial third-party payors, in some cases because they have designated some or all of FoundationOne CDx, FoundationOne, FoundationOneHeme, and FoundationACT as experimental and investigational. Reimbursement of next generation sequencing, or NGS, -based cancer tests by commercial third-party payors and government payors may depend on a number of factors, including a payor’s determination that our existing and future services are:

 

not experimental or investigational;

 

medically reasonable and necessary;

 

appropriate for the specific patient;

 

cost effective;

 

supported by peer-reviewed publications;

 

included in clinical practice guidelines and pathways; and

 

supported by clinical utility and health economic studies demonstrating improved outcomes and cost effectiveness.

As a result, our efforts to pursue coverage on behalf of patients will take a substantial amount of time, and various commercial third-party payors and government payors may never cover or provide adequate payment for our existing and future services. Our strategy to achieve broad reimbursement and coverage is focused on demonstrating the clinical utility and economic benefits of our services, including engagement with key members of the oncology community and increasing physician demand, but there is no assurance that we will succeed in any of these areas or that, even if we do succeed, we will receive favorable coverage and reimbursement decisions. If adequate third-party coverage and reimbursement are unavailable, we may not be able to maintain volume and price levels sufficient to realize an appropriate return on investment in research and development. Furthermore, if a commercial third-party payor or government payor denies coverage and payment, it may be difficult for us to collect from the patient, and we may not be successful in doing so.

Government Payors

In the second quarter of 2016, the FDA and CMS accepted FoundationOne CDx for the Parallel Review program. The Parallel Review program provides concurrent review of a medical device by the FDA for marketing approval and by CMS for an NCD to facilitate patient access to innovative medical devices. In November 2017, the FDA approved FoundationOne CDx for detection of substitutions, insertion and deletion alterations, and copy number alterations in 324 genes and select gene rearrangements, as well as genomic signatures including microsatellite instability, or MSI, and tumor mutational burden, or TMB, using DNA isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tumor tissue specimens. FoundationOne CDx is intended as a companion diagnostic for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, melanoma, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, or breast cancer to identify those patients who may benefit from treatment with one of 17 on-label targeted therapies in accordance with FDA-approved therapeutic product labeling. Additionally, FoundationOne CDx is intended to provide tumor mutation profiling to be used by qualified health care professionals in accordance with professional guidelines in oncology for cancer patients with solid malignant neoplasms.

Following the FDA’s approval of FoundationOne CDx in November 2017, CMS issued a final NCD in March 2018 that establishes nationwide Medicare coverage for FoundationOne CDx for all solid tumor types when ordered by the patient’s treating physician for Medicare beneficiaries with advanced cancer ( i.e. , either recurrent, relapsed, refractory, metastatic, or advanced stages III or IV cancer), who either have not been previously tested using FoundationOne CDx for the same primary diagnosis of cancer or are seeking repeat testing with FoundationOne CDx for a new primary cancer diagnosis, and continue to seek further cancer therapy.

For dates of service from the effective date of the final NCD (March 16, 2018) through June 30, 2018, FoundationOne CDx will be reimbursed at a rate established by the local MAC, National Government Services, that processes claims for services furnished by our Cambridge, MA laboratory.  During this period, National Government Services established a rate of $2919.60 for FoundationOne CDx. In May 2018, CMS approved FoundationOne CDx for new advanced diagnostic laboratory test, or new ADLT, status.  As a result of this designation, Medicare will pay for FoundationOne CDx at the test’s “actual list charge” (a term defined under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014) for dates of service beginning July 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019. The actual list charge for FoundationOne CDx is $3,500. As an ADLT, the Medicare payment rate for FoundationOne CDx for dates of service beginning April 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020, will be the weighted median of private payor rates for the test, as calculated from private payer payment information collected by us from July 1, 2018 through November 30, 2018, and reported by us to CMS by December 31, 2018.  We cannot guarantee that the Medicare reimbursement rate established for this test will be favorable beginning April 1, 2019 or at any time thereafter. If the Medicare reimbursement rate is unfavorable at any point, we could experience a negative impact on revenue.

The final NCD establishes nationwide Medicare coverage of NGS tests for advanced cancer that have been approved or cleared by the FDA as a companion diagnostic, and applies to all Medicare fee-for-service and Medicare Advantage plans. For NGS-based tests other than those that have been approved or cleared by the FDA as a companion diagnostic ( i.e., tests offered as LDTs or FDA-approved or cleared tests that are not a companion diagnostic), the final NCD allows the local MACs to continue determining coverage for such tests insofar as patients meet the patient criteria outlined in the final NCD ( i.e. , either recurrent, relapsed, refractory, metastatic, or advanced stages III or IV cancer, and who either have not been previously tested using the same NGS test for the same primary diagnosis of cancer or are seeking repeat testing with the same NGS test for a new primary cancer diagnosis, and continue to seek further cancer therapy). As such, FoundationOne will continue to be covered by Medicare when provided to patients with NSCLC consistent with the current terms of the LCD issued by Palmetto GBA, or Palmetto. Palmetto is the MAC for the jurisdiction in which our North Carolina laboratory is located. The MolDx Program was developed by Palmetto to serve various functions, including establishing coverage and reimbursement for molecular diagnostic tests that fall under Palmetto’s purview. In May 2015, Palmetto’s MolDx Program published a final LCD, or the Palmetto LCD, which included reimbursement for comprehensive genomic profiles for highly validated testing in an initial subset of patients diagnosed with NSCLC. The Palmetto website listed FoundationOne as a covered test under this LCD effective October 1, 2015.

For tests we may offer that are not subject to an NCD, local MACs that administer the Medicare program in various regions have discretion in determining coverage for tests, subject to Medicare rules. A MAC assigned to a jurisdiction in which we have an operational laboratory facility may deny a claim submitted by us related to that facility. Even if we do receive coverage from a MAC on appeal of a denied claim, the reimbursement rate may be lower than we expect if the service is not currently priced on the Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, or CLFS, and if such rate is then adopted by commercial third-party payors, it would have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. In addition, a MAC may, insofar as such determination is not inconsistent with an NCD, issue an LCD for one or more of our existing or future services, and/or for one or more clinically indicated tumor types involved with such services that would apply to future claims. Although we would have the opportunity to submit additional materials in support of a positive LCD for our services to the MAC (or to CMS through the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals for claims-level appeals), there is no guarantee that the MAC will provide us with any additional positive LCDs or claims decisions, reverse any previously issued negative LCDs or claims decisions, or maintain any previously issued positive LCDs. In circumstances of non-coverage under an NCD or LCD, we may be required to obtain a signed advance beneficiary notice, or ABN, from Medicare patients in order to seek payment directly from the patient for non-covered services.

If CMS issues a negative NCD, or a MAC assigned to the jurisdiction in which one of our operational laboratory facilities is located issues a negative LCD, with respect to one or more of our services and/or clinically indicated tumor types, or if CMS under an

45


 

NCD or a MAC under an LC D establishes patient eligibility conditions, data collection obligations or other requirements that are difficult and/or costly to satisfy, or if a MAC denies reimbursement of one or more of these services in claims not covered by an NCD or LCD, our reven ue and results of operations would be adversely affected because we may not be able to satisfy such requirements, our costs in meeting reimbursement requirements may increase, or we will not receive revenue or will receive decreased revenue for tests perfo rmed. Similarly, if CMS or a MAC withdraws or negatively changes its coverage policies after deciding to cover one or more of our services, our revenue and results of operations would be adversely affected. Physicians may be less likely to order a test for a patient if the test is not subject to a positive coverage determination such that the patient could ultimately be responsible for all or substantially all of the cost of the test. We may also be less likely to receive a positive coverage determination b y commercial third-party payors insofar as Medicare identifies one or more of our tests as non-covered in an NCD or LCD.

In September 2016, we began receiving test requisitions and samples from commercial customers at our North Carolina facility and performing components of FoundationOne and FoundationOneHeme testing at the facility. In accordance with CMS guidance, in January 2017, we began submitting an initial set of claims to Palmetto for FoundationOne test requisitions received in our North Carolina facility. We submitted these claims using miscellaneous Current Procedural Terminology, or CPT, codes with unique McKesson Z Code identifiers. In March 2017, we received our first payments for claims under the Palmetto LCD. Payment for all claims processed to date by Palmetto has been made based upon the allowable rate of $3,416 per test. Although we are performing components of our testing services for FoundationOneHeme in our North Carolina facility, Palmetto has provided guidance that comprehensive genomic profiling, or CGP, testing not covered by an LCD is explicitly non-covered, including FoundationOneHeme; therefore, we are seeking to obtain signed ABNs from Medicare patients who receive FoundationOneHeme testing. We are still in the process of determining what other types of services we may conduct at this facility. Such determination will be subject to the existence and limitations of applicable licenses and approvals, our ability to meet laboratory and testing requirements, and our ability to accommodate logistical and commercial needs in the test ordering and fulfillment process.

In parallel, we have been engaged in conversations with Palmetto regarding the potential for coverage and payment by Palmetto for FoundationOne claims submitted by our North Carolina laboratory for Medicare patients having tumor types other than NSCLC. In December 2016, Palmetto originally issued three draft LCDs for the use of CGP to guide treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, with metastatic melanoma, and with advanced primary peritoneal, fallopian tube and ovarian cancer, respectively. In March 2018, Palmetto re-issued revised versions of these draft LCDs, and accepted public comments on such drafts until May 10, 2018.  If finalized as proposed, FoundationOne will be covered by Medicare when provided to patients with these conditions consistent with the terms of these LCDs. However, these draft LCDs may be delayed, may never be finalized, or if the LCDs are finalized, the coverage established by such LCDs may not result in payment for claims submitted by our North Carolina laboratory. There is no certainty that Palmetto will provide coverage for such Medicare patients, and if coverage is provided, that such coverage will result in adequate payment for claims submitted by our North Carolina laboratory. We are also currently seeking to obtain as part of the test order process a signed ABN from Medicare patients for non-covered tumor types in order to allow us to bill Medicare patients directly. The process of procuring signed ABNs may affect the turn-around-time for test report delivery, and may have a negative impact on test utilization, our revenue and our profitability.

Commercial Payors

We are currently considered an “out-of-network provider” by many commercial third-party payors because we have not entered into specific contracts to provide one or more of our existing services for their health plan beneficiaries, and as a result, patients may have higher out-of-pocket costs for our services and be subject to health plan requirements such as prior authorization. Physicians may be less likely to order our tests if patients have higher out-of-pocket costs or administrative hurdles, which would in turn have a negative effect on revenue and results of operations. If we were to become a contracted provider with additional commercial third-party payors in the future, the amount of overall reimbursement we receive may decrease if coverage is furnished for only a limited number of tumor types and/or we are reimbursed less money per test performed at a contracted rate than at a non-contracted rate, which could have a negative impact on our revenue. We may also be unable to collect patient out-of-pocket payment amounts directly from patients, and may experience lost revenue as a result. In addition, a payor’s decision to cover our services only in a specific tumor type such as NSCLC could also result in our inability to receive payment for other non-covered tumor types, resulting in lost volume and revenue. Finally, our contracts with current and any additional third-party payors will be subject to renewal, and the renewal process could result in lower reimbursement rates or elimination of reimbursement to us if the parties fail to agree to the terms of renewal and the contract is terminated.

Policy Considerations

The United States and foreign governments continue to propose and pass legislation designed to reduce the cost of healthcare. For example, in some foreign markets, the government controls the pricing of many healthcare services. We expect that there will continue to be federal and state proposals to implement governmental controls or impose healthcare requirements. In addition, the Medicare program and increasing emphasis on managed or accountable care in the United States will continue to put pressure on utilization and pricing. Utilization and cost control initiatives could decrease the volume of orders and payment that we would receive for any services in the future, which would limit our revenue and profitability.

46


 

Healthcare policy changes, including legislation reforming the United States healthcare system, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Affordable Care Act

In March 2010, legislation collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, was enacted in the United States. The ACA, as subsequently amended, made a number of substantial changes in the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Among other things, the ACA requires each medical device manufacturer and importer to pay an excise tax equal to 2.3% of the sale price for its taxable medical devices. In 2015, Congress imposed a two-year moratorium on this medical device tax, so that medical device sales during the period between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2017 were exempt from the tax. In 2018, Congress extended the moratorium to medical device sales made during the period between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. Absent further legislative action, the tax will be automatically reinstated for medical device sales starting on January 1, 2020. If the tax is reinstated, sales of our services that are regulated as medical devices, such as FoundationOne CDx, would be subject to this tax.

On April 1, 2013, cuts to the federal budget were implemented, known as sequestration, resulting in a 2% annual cut in Medicare payments for all services, including clinical laboratory testing. Congress has since extended this 2% Medicare sequester through fiscal year 2025. At this time, it remains uncertain how long the cuts will be continued.

Many CPT procedure codes for molecular pathology tests that we use to bill our services were revised by the American Medical Association, or AMA, effective January 1, 2013. These new CPT codes were developed and implemented for individual genes, or the components of a multi-gene panel. In a final rule for calendar year 2013, CMS announced that it decided to keep the new molecular codes on the CLFS rather than move them to the Physician Fee Schedule. CMS then announced that for 2013, it would price the new codes using a “gap filling” process. Under this approach, CMS referred the CPT codes to the MACs to allow them to determine an appropriate price. CMS then calculated the median of the pricing provided by the MACs to establish and publish a National Limitation Amount, or NLA, by CPT code for 2014.

In 2014, the AMA approved and implemented new CPT codes for genomic sequencing-based panel tests in cancer, effective January 1, 2015. In 2015, CMS used a “gap filling” process to price some of these new codes, which involved referring the new codes to the MACs to allow them to determine and submit to CMS an appropriate price. For 2016, CMS established and published an NLA for some of these codes, including the code associated with testing for 5-50 genes as calculated by determining the median price as provided by the MACs for the applicable code. If CMS reduces reimbursement for the CPT codes for individual genes or fails to price favorably multi-gene panel codes upon which commercial payors may base rates, or if commercial payors who often base pricing on Medicare fee schedules reduce non-contracted payment rates below the NLA amounts for CPT codes corresponding to individual genes, mandate use of the sequencing-based panel CPT codes, or decide to stop payment on specific CPT codes altogether, our revenue could be adversely affected. For 2018, CMS established and published an NLA for the CPT code associated with testing for over 51 genes as calculated based on the weighted median of the payment rates for private payors for such code.

For dates of service effective April 1, 2018, the AMA established a unique Proprietary Laboratory Analysis code, or PLA code, that is specific to our FoundationOne CDx test and can be billed to third-party and government payers. Beginning July 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, the Medicare payment rate for this PLA code is $3,500.  Thereafter, the Medicare payment rate for the code will be based on the calculated weighted median of private payer payment rates, as reported to CMS that is specific to this unique PLA code.

Protecting Access to Medicare Act

In April 2014, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, or PAMA, was enacted into law. Section 216 of PAMA reforms the Medicare payment system for clinical laboratory tests paid through the CLFS. PAMA establishes a market-based payment system for Medicare payment for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests. Under this new methodology, CMS will establish Medicare payment for each test based on the weighted median of the private payor rates for the test. PAMA also creates a new class of test called an ADLT, defined as a test offered and furnished only by a single laboratory that is not sold for use by a laboratory other than the original developing laboratory and is either a (1) multi-biomarker test of DNA, RNA or proteins with a unique algorithm yielding a single, patient-specific result, (2) test that is cleared or approved by the FDA, or (3) test meeting other similar criteria established by the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services.

PAMA requires certain clinical laboratories meeting a threshold of Medicare revenues to report private payor rates and corresponding test volumes. We did not meet this threshold during the January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 data collection period and therefore were not required to report this data in 2017, however, we anticipate that we will be required to report data during future reporting periods (e.g., during December 2018 for data collected from July 1, 2018 through November 30, 2018 for private payer claims for FoundationOne CDx). In June 2016, CMS issued the Medicare Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Tests Payment System Final Rule, or the Final Rule, to implement the laboratory test payment provisions of PAMA. As outlined in the Final Rule, CMS implemented the new payment system on January 1, 2018. CMS has issued sub-regulatory guidance on data collection and reporting and on additional topics, including a list of specific billing codes for which laboratories must report data. In March 2018, CMS also published additional sub-regulatory guidance describing an application process for ADLTs. In May 2018, CMS determined that

FoundationOne C Dx meet s the requirements for classification as a new ADLT . Depending upon if and how commercial payors adopt, or are otherwise influenced by, this new Medicare pricing methodology and the payment rates, our weighted median commercial payor rate for our te sts, including FoundationOne CDx, could be adversely affected.

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation announced in June 2016 the launch of the Oncology Care Model, or OCM, beginning on July 1, 2016. The OCM is a five-year voluntary program that includes 192 physician practices in 32 states, as well as 14 private payors. Under the OCM, participating practices receive performance-based payments on the basis of how their prices for 6-month “episodes” of cancer care triggered by receipt of chemotherapy compare to “benchmark” prices for similar episodes. These benchmarks are based on the historical data for the period of January 2012 through June 2015. The model may impact the utilization of our tests among those practices participating in OCM.

Medicare 14-Day Rule

Certain Medicare billing policy requirements for clinical laboratory tests impact our ability to bill Medicare directly, and under certain circumstances, require us to bill and collect payments from hospitals for tests that we perform for inpatient or outpatient Medicare patients. Prior to January 1, 2018, under the so-called “14-Day Rule,” tests performed on specimens collected from hospital inpatients or outpatients, where those tests are ordered less than 14 days following the date of the patient's discharge from the hospital, could not be billed by us to Medicare directly; instead we had to bill the hospital for the test.

In November 2017, CMS finalized the 2018 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System Final Rule, which allows us to directly bill Medicare more frequently. Specifically, under the revised billing rules, a laboratory that performs molecular pathology tests on specimens collected during a hospital outpatient stay may bill Medicare directly for such tests if the test was performed following a hospital outpatient's discharge from the hospital outpatient department. To the extent these revisions to Medicare’s billing policy require us to bill Medicare directly for tests previously billed to hospitals under the 14-Day Rule, we will no longer bill hospitals for such tests. CMS announced that it will exercise enforcement discretion until January 2, 2019 for circumstances where, under the revised billing rules, the laboratory is now required to bill Medicare directly where the laboratory was previously required to bill the hospital from which the specimen was collected.  

We continue to be subject to the 14-Day Rule, and therefore remain obligated to bill the hospital insofar as we perform tests on specimens collected during a hospital inpatient stay. Hospitals may assert that they are not required to pay these bills, or they may delay in paying these bills. In these cases, for hospitals who disclaim responsibility for our bills or delay payment of our bills under the 14-Day Rule, we may undertake collection activities, and as a result of such efforts, we may accept payments from hospitals that are less than the original invoice or we may be unable to collect from hospitals any payments at all.  The management of this collection activity, and the acceptance of payment amounts less than the amount of such bills, involves a number of risks, including our ability to meet the requirements of applicable financial accounting principles and controls and healthcare regulations.  If we are not successful in managing this collection activity in a manner that meets our obligations, we could be deemed to be in violation of accounting principles or health care regulation, which in turn, could lead to the assertion of claims against us and a resulting adverse effect on our operating results and reputation.

Finally, the recent presidential and congressional elections in the U.S. could result in significant changes in, and uncertainty with respect to, legislation, regulation and government policy that could significantly impact our business and the healthcare industry. While it is not possible to predict whether and when any such changes will occur, a variety of initiatives to repeal or significantly reform key provisions of the ACA have been introduced in Congress or otherwise proposed. Most notably, Congress enacted legislation in 2017 that eliminates the ACA’s “individual mandate” beginning in 2019, which may significantly impact the number of covered lives participating in exchange plans. Other potentially significant changes in policy include the possibility of modifications and elimination of programs and reductions in staffing at the FDA and CMS, and initiatives to contain or reduce governmental spending in the healthcare area, including Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. We cannot predict what future healthcare initiatives will be introduced or implemented at the federal or state level, or how any future legislation or regulation may affect us. Any taxes imposed by federal legislation and the expansion of the government’s role in the U.S. healthcare industry generally, as well as changes to the reimbursement amounts paid by payors for our existing and future services, may reduce our profits and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

(A) In the event that either (i) Roche exercises any of its termination rights under the Commercialization and Services Agreement prior to the expiration of the term thereof other than following DiAn’s termination of the Laboratory Services Agreement upon FMI’s material breach thereof (either in whole, or with respect to a particular First Year Product); or (ii) DiAn terminates the Commercialization and Services Agreement due to Roche’s material breach thereof (each of (A)(i) and (A)(ii), a “ Territory Reduction Event ”), then upon FMI’s delivery of written notice that the relevant Territory Reduction Event has taken place (the “ Territory Reduction Notice ”), the Territory shall be revised to remove the China Territory in its entirety from the Territory or to remove a particular First Year Product (as applicable) from the China Territory, as the case may be, and the China Territory shall be deemed to be included in the FMI Territory, either in whole or with respect to the particular First Year Product in question (as applicable).  For clarity, upon removal of the China Territory from the Territory pursuant to FMI’s delivery of the Territory Reduction Notice to Roche following the occurrence of a Territory Reduction Event, the relevant licenses and rights granted to Roche under the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement shall automatically terminate on the effective date of termination and with respect to any applicable First Year Products, and FMI shall have the sole right to commercialize any such Product in the China Territory .

 

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement, Roche will:

 

 

(i)

following (a) the occurrence of a Territory Reduction Event or (b) the expiration or termination (whether in whole, with respect to the China Territory, or with respect to each particular First Year Product in question, as applicable) of the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement (each of (B)(i)(a) and (B)(i)(b) of this Section 2.3, a “ Termination Event ”), continue to provide the Roche Services as set forth in the Commercialization and Services Agreement for a period of […***…] months (either for all First Year Products, or with respect to each particular First Year Product in question, as the case may be);

 

 

(ii)

perform the activities described in Sections 17.3.1(b)-(d) and 17.3.4.1 of the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement for a period of […***…] months following the occurrence of a Termination Event (either for all First Year Products, or with respect to each First Year Product in question, as the case may be);

 

 

(iii)

the occurrence of a Termination Event shall not excuse either Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement (as it relates to the China Territory), in each case, which were in existence prior to such Termination Event;

(iv)

without limiting the generality of clause (iii) immediately above, Roche’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.2 (Defense Against Third-Party Infringement Claims) shall survive the occurrence of a Termination Event with respect to any Third-Party Infringement Suits (as defined below) commenced prior to such Termination Event; and

 

 

(v)

(a) to the extent that such Termination Event results in the termination of the Commercialization and Services Agreement with respect to the FoundationOne Product, Roche shall make a payment of […***…] United States dollars         (US$[…***…]) to FMI, (b) to the extent that such Termination Event results in the termination of the Commercialization and Services Agreement with respect to FoundationOne Heme  Roche shall make a payment of […***…] United States dollars (US$[…***…]) to FMI, and (c) to the extent that such Termination Event results in the termination of the Commercialization and Services Agreement with respect to FACT, Roche shall make a payment of […***…] United States dollars (US$[…***…]) to FMI, in each case of (a)-(c), within […***…] days following Roche’s receipt of notice from FMI stating that the relevant Termination Event has occurred.

For clarity, to the extent that a Termination Event results in the termination of the Commercialization and Services Agreement with respect to all First Year Products, Roche shall make a payment of […***…] United States Dollars (US$[…***…]) to FMI within […***…] days following Roche’s receipt of notice from FMI stating that the relevant Termination Event has occurred; provided, however, if Roche at the time of the Termination Event is selling Product in the China Territory, then no payment shall be payable under Section 2.3(B)(v) or this Section 2.3(B)(vi).

 

2.4. Non-Commercial Clinical Reports.   The JSC (as defined in the Laboratory Services Agreement and the Commercialization and Services Agreement) will make express determinations as to circumstances under which Non-Commercial Clinical Reports (as defined in the Laboratory Services Agreement and the Commercialization and Services Agreement) may be issued by DiAn in the China Territory at Roche’s request, provided that: (A) Roche will have final decision-making authority (upon reasonable consultation with FMI) with respect to any such determinations that have not been expressly reviewed and approved by the JOC (as defined under the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement) in accordance with Article 6 of the Laboratory Services Agreement and Article 4 (Governance) of the Commercialization and Services Agreement; and (B) Roche shall account for each Non-Commercial  Clinical Report issued in the China Territory as set forth under Section 3.5 (Royalties for the China Territory) below.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement, FMI shall have no financial obligations to Roche or DiAn with respect to any Non-Commercial Clinical Reports issued by

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for clarity, FMI shall always have the right to enforce any FMI China IP at its own discretion […***…] .  

 

 

(B)

Challenges to Third Party Intellectual Property Rights .  During the Agreement Term, to the extent that Roche is commercializing any First Year Products in the China Territory, […***…] will, upon […***…] request and at […***…], provide reasonable assistance with any […***…] that […***…] initiates, whether at […***…] request or at […***…] sole discretion.  In addition, […***…] will be permitted to initiate an […***…] at its own discretion; provided that […***…] shall be required to provide […***…] with reasonable advance notice of its intention to initiate any such […***…] and will consider in good faith […***…] reasonable comments regarding the advisability of such […***…] prior to […***…] initiation thereof, as well as the general strategy associated with such […***…] (including which Party initiates and controls such […***…]) if applicable.  Subject to the preceding sentence, […***…] if an […***…] is initiated at […***…] request or discretion, […***…] shall be solely responsible for […***…] (excluding any […***…]) associated therewith; provided, however , that, where […***…]: (a) […***…] shall only be responsible for up to […***…] United States dollars (US$[…***…]) (the “[…***…] Cap”) in aggregate costs and expenses associated with all […***…] during the Collaboration Term (as defined under Section 3.3(A) below); and (b) […***…] will  be solely responsible for any costs or expenses in excess of the […***…] Cap associated with […***…] during the Collaboration Term.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the term […***…] shall not include any […***…], to the extent that such proceeding or

process is initiated after a Third Party commences ( y ) any Third - Party Infringement Suit (as defined under Section 3. 2 ( A ) below) against either Party in connection with such patent(s) or ( z ) any Third - Party Infringement Suit (as defined under Section 11.6 of the Laboratory Servi ces Agreement) against […***…] in co nnection with such patent(s), and any such proceeding or process , if applicable, shall be governed by the terms and provisions of Section 3.2 (Defense Against Third-Party Infringement Claims) below.

 

3.2. Defense Against Third-Party Infringement Claims.   

 

(A) Defense Procedure.   If an action for infringement is commenced against either Party or any of its Affiliates asserting that such Party’s performance of its obligations arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Collaboration infringes the intellectual property rights of a Third Party (a “ Third-Party Infringement Suit ”), such Party or its Affiliate (as a “ Defending Party ”) shall defend such Third-Party Infringement Suit at its own expense, and the other Party shall reasonably assist and cooperate with the Defending Party, at its own expense, to the extent necessary in the defense of such Third-Party Infringement Suit.  The Defending Party shall have the right to settle such Third-Party Infringement Suit or consent to a judgment thereto, in its sole discretion, so long as such settlement or judgment does not adversely affect the rights of the other Party or its Affiliates (including any patent rights Controlled by any of them), including by entering into a settlement agreement or consenting to a judgment constituting an admission of the invalidity of any patent rights Controlled by any of them (including, in the case of FMI, any FMI Patent Rights or any of FMI’s patent rights outside of the Territory).  Where a settlement or judgment to any such Third-Party Infringement Suit would adversely affect the rights of the other Party or its Affiliates (including any patent rights Controlled by any of them), the Defending Party shall not settle such Third-Party Infringement Suit or consent to an adverse judgment thereto without the other Party’s prior written consent.  The Defending Party shall incorporate the other Party’s reasonable comments into any filings made by the Defending Party in connection with the defense of any such Third-Party Infringement Suit.  The Defending Party shall assume full responsibility for the payment of any award for damages, or any amount due pursuant to any settlement entered into by it and the Third Party that commenced the relevant Third-Party Infringement Suit against it.  If a Third-Party Infringement Suit is commenced against all of FMI, Roche, and DiAn (or, in each case, any of its respective Affiliates) in connection with the Parties’ performance of their respective obligations relating to this Agreement or the Collaboration, and DiAn’s performance of its obligations under the Collaboration, the Laboratory Services Agreement, or the Commercialization and Services Agreement, then the Parties and DiAn, through the JSC, shall discuss in good faith how control of the defense of any such Third-Party Infringement Suit shall be handled.

(B) Allocation of IP Losses .    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement, the Parties agree to allocate any and all IP Losses (as defined below) in accordance with Table 1- IP Loss Tiers below.

 

Table 1- IP Loss Tiers

 

IP Loss Tier

FMI Cost Share

Roche Cost Share

Tier 1

Aggregate IP Losses up to and including US$ […***…]

[…***…] %

[…***…] %

Tier 2

Aggregate IP Losses from US$ […***…] to US$ […***…]

[…***…] %

[…***…] %

Tier 3

Aggregate IP Losses from US$ […***…] to US$ […***…]

[…***…] %

[…***…] %

Tier 4

Aggregate IP Losses in excess of US$ […***…]

[…***…] %

[…***…] %

 

 

With respect to any IP Losses within a given IP Loss Tier, Roche shall reimburse FMI for Roche’s share of such IP Losses in accordance with the Roche Cost Share applicable to such IP Loss Tier (as set forth in Table 1- IP Loss Tiers ).  

 

For example, if FMI were to incur US$[…***…] in IP Losses during a Calendar Quarter, and had not incurred any IP Losses prior to such Calendar Quarter, Roche’s reimbursement to FMI for IP Losses incurred by FMI during such Calendar Quarter would be calculated as follows:

 

[US$[…***…]] + [US$[…***…]] = US$[…***…].

 

If FMI were to incur US$[…***…] in IP Losses during a Calendar Quarter, and had incurred US$[…***…] in aggregate IP Losses prior to such Calendar Quarter, Roche’s reimbursement to FMI for IP Losses incurred by FMI during such Calendar Quarter would be calculated as follows:

 

[US$[…***…]] + [US$[…***…]] = US$[…***…].

 

If FMI were to incur US$[…***…] in IP Losses during a Calendar Quarter, and had incurred US$[…***…] in aggregate IP Losses prior to such Calendar Quarter, Roche’s reimbursement

Page 7 of 12

***Confidential Treatment Requested***

 


to FMI for IP Losses incurred by FMI during such Calendar Quarter would be calculated as follows:

 

[US$[…***…]] = US$[…***…].

 

Promptly following the end of each Calendar Quarter, FMI shall invoice Roche for Roche’s share of any IP Losses to be reimbursed by Roche (if any) in connection with IP Losses incurred by FMI during such Calendar Quarter. Each invoice shall include reasonable supporting documentation relating to the IP Losses.  Roche shall make payment on each such invoice within […***…] calendar days following its receipt thereof.

 

IP Losses ” shall mean any and all costs, liabilities, fees, expenses, fines, damages, judgments, penalties, and other out of pocket amounts incurred by FMI (excluding any internal FMI costs): (i) in connection with FMI’s defense (whether sole or joint) against Third-Party Infringement Suits; or (ii) pursuant to FMI’s obligation to indemnify DiAn and other “DIAN Indemnitees” (as defined in the Laboratory Services Agreement) against Indemnifiable Losses (as defined in the Laboratory Services Agreement) arising from Third-Party Infringement Claims (as defined in the Laboratory Services Agreement) under Section 15.1.2 of the Laboratory Services Agreement.

 

3.3. Obligations of FMI Satisfied by DiAn.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement:

 

 

(A)

FMI’s delivery to DIAN in full compliance with the terms and conditions of the Laboratory Services Agreement of (i) the Initial FMI Information Technology deliverables and the FMI Technology Deliverables for the FoundationOne Product (in each case, as defined in the Laboratory Services Agreement), (ii) the FMI Technology Deliverables for the FoundationOne Heme Product (as defined in the Laboratory Services Agreement), and (iii) the FMI Technology Deliverables for the FoundationACT Product will, in each case of 3.3(A)(i)-(iii), satisfy FMI’s obligations to conduct or have conducted genomic sequencing locally for each applicable First Year Product in […***…] pursuant to Section 7.4.2.3 of the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement;

 

 

(B)

During the term of the Collaboration (the “ Collaboration Term ”), FMI has satisfied its remaining obligations applicable to the China Territory under Section 7.4.2.3 of the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement (other than the obligations specified in clause 3.3(A) above, which are subject to the terms set forth therein); and

 

 

(C)

During the Collaboration Term, FMI’s obligations with respect to preparing, submitting and obtaining any Regulatory Approvals required to market, import, have imported, sell and have sold the First Year Products in the China Territory pursuant to Section 6.1.1

Page 8 of 12

***Confidential Treatment Requested***

 


 

(Responsibility for Products Other than F1CDx) of the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement shall be satisfied .

 

3.4. Gross Margin Calculation for the China Territory.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement, the Gross Margin on Sales of First Year Products in the China Territory (collectively, “ China Sales ”) for the purpose of calculating the royalty payments payable to FMI pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement for each Calendar Quarter during the Collaboration Term shall be determined as follows:

 

 

(A)

The aggregate Gross Margin on Sales of the FoundationOne Product in the China Territory (the “ China F1 GM ”) shall be calculated as the greater of: (a) […***…] and (b) […***…] (the “ China Minimum F1 GM ”);

 

 

(B)

The aggregate Gross Margin on Sales of FoundationOne Heme in the China Territory (the “ China F1H GM ”) shall be calculated as the greater of: (a) […***…], and (b) […***…] (the “ China Minimum F1H GM ”);

 

 

(C)

The aggregate Gross Margin on Sales of FACT in the China Territory (the “ China FACT GM ”) shall be calculated as the greater of: (a) […***…], and (b) […***…] (the “ China Minimum FACT GM ”); and

 

 

(D)

Finally, the aggregate Gross Margin on all China Sales (“ China GM ”) during such Calendar Quarter (which shall be the basis of the calculation of the royalty payment to FMI for Sales in the China Territory during such Calendar Quarter) shall be calculated as the sum of the China F1 GM, the China F1H GM, and the China FACT GM for such Calendar Quarter.

 

For clarity, “Clinical Reports,” as used in this Section 3.4, shall exclude Non-Commercial Clinical Reports.

 

3.5. Royalties for the China Territory.   

 

(A) Royalty Enhancement.   With respect to China Sales only, the royalty tiers applicable to such China Sales shall be adjusted as follows: (a) a […***…]% incremental increase will apply to the relevant royalty rate set forth in the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement for each of the […***…]% and […***…]% royalty tiers, and (b) a […***…]% incremental increase will apply to the relevant royalty rate for each of the […***…]% and […***…]% royalty tiers.  Accordingly, the royalty rates applicable to China Sales will be as follows:

 

Page 9 of 12

***Confidential Treatment Requested***

 


Tier of Calendar Year Gross Margin (on an Aggregated Basis, for Sales in th e Territory

Percent (%) of Gross Margin of China Sales for Calculation of Royalty on China Sales

Up to and including US$[…***…]

[…***…]

Greater than US$[…***…] and up to and including US$[…***…]

[…***…]

Greater than US$[…***…] and up to and including US$[…***…]

[…***…]

Greater than US$[…***…]

[…***…]

 

For example, if Gross Margin on all Sales in the Territory (the “ Global GM ”) during the first Calendar Quarter of a given Calendar Year was US$[…***…] and Gross Margin on China Sales was US$[…***…], then the payment for the first Calendar Quarter based on Sales in the China Territory would be calculated as follows:

[…***…].

If the Global GM during the second Calendar Quarter of the same Calendar Year was US$20 million, and Gross Margin on China Sales was US$1 million, then the payment for the second Calendar Quarter based on China Sales would be calculated as follows:

[…***…].

 

(B) Royalty Tier Adjustment for Non-Commercial Clinical Reports. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement, the Non-Commercial Report GM Adjustment (as defined below) shall be added to the Global GM for the determination of royalty rate based on the “Tier of Calendar Year Gross Margin” under Section 8.3.2 of the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement. For clarity, the royalty rate applicable to the Global GM shall be determined based on the sum of (X) the Non-Commercial Report GM Adjustment, (Y) the China GM (as calculated in accordance with Section 3.4 (Gross Margin Calculation for the China Territory), and (Z) the Global GM exclusive of China GM. Nevertheless, the Non-Commercial Report GM Adjustment shall be excluded from Global GM in royalty calculation, i.e. Roche shall have no obligation under the Ex-US Commercialization Agreement and China Territory Agreement to pay to FMI royalties associated with the Non-Commercial Report GM Adjustment.

 

Non-Commercial Report GM Adjustment ” shall mean the sum of (i) […***…], (ii) […***…], and (iii) […***…].
