    Company will focus on its high growth, high margin pediatric and rare disease business, powered by whole exome/genome diagnostic testing and analysis and data-driven insights from Centrellis®

    19% pro forma1 volume growth vs. 3Q 2021 and 21% pro forma1 revenue growth vs. 3Q 2021

    Sema4 to host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET

    STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Sema4 Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:SMFR) ("Sema4"), a health insights company, today announced business highlights and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

    Additionally, Sema4 announced its decision to pursue a new strategic direction focused on a $30 billion market opportunity to generate more complete understanding of complex diseases and how to treat them, fueled by its industry-leading genomic and data platforms. As a result, the company has determined that it will exit the reproductive health testing market, which it expects to complete by the end of the first quarter of 2023. The company believes the competitive advantages and differentiated offerings of its GeneDx and Centrellis platforms will enable the company to scale to profitability. The business moving forward is on a path to provide:

    • Annual revenue growth in excess of 20% over the next several years
    • An adjusted gross margin profile in excess of 50% in the near-term
    • A turn to profitability in 2025

    The foundation for this growth is strengthened by the GeneDx exome and whole genome sequencing and interpretation services and the Centrellis data platform. The company will be focused on delivering personalized, actionable health insights that help clinicians, researchers, health systems, pharmaceutical companies, and payors improve the patient experience and advance population health. Sema4 will enhance the healthcare experience and improve patients' quality of life for generations by sequencing once and analyzing for a lifetime.

    "As we look ahead, I am excited by the performance of the business representing our future. Our pediatric and rare disease franchise is setting new internal records, generating over 50% revenue growth in the third quarter and delivering over 40% in adjusted gross margin," said Katherine Stueland, President and CEO of Sema4. "We believe that our focused commercial and R&D efforts provide the right foundation for us to target higher growth areas of the genomics market and optimize our data and health insights go-to-market strategy. We expect the combination of these efforts will help us grow revenue in excess of 20% over the next several years. We also expect the actions we have undertaken will enable us to more than double our run rate gross margin profile exiting the third quarter and reduce our annual cash burn by greater than 50% in 2023."

    Business Highlights

    • Signed 2 data partnerships with biopharma companies utilizing the company's proprietary clinical and genomic database
    • Announced partnership in the recently launched GUARDIAN genomic newborn screening study, the largest of its kind in North America, to improve population health by identifying more than 250 preventable and treatable conditions, many of which are not covered today by standard newborn screening
    • Announced results from Phase 1 of SeqFirst Study, demonstrating broad utility of rapid whole genome sequencing for critically ill newborns
    • Presented research on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at the Child Neurology Society (CNS) annual meeting, underscoring the positive outcomes of exome analysis for individuals with ASD
    • Announced an exit from reproductive health testing, including closing down its Stamford, CT laboratory and a reduction in force of approximately 500 employees. Customers will be notified that the company is accepting samples through December 14, 2022
    • Combining its prior year-to-date restructuring efforts and the exit from its reproductive health testing business announced today, the company expects total headcount of 1,100 compared to approximately 1,700 exiting the third quarter of 2022
    • Appointed industry veteran, Kevin Feeley, as Chief Financial Officer

    Third Quarter & Recent Highlights

    "We are pleased with our third quarter results, especially the volume growth and gross margins in our GeneDx pediatrics and rare disease business. We have seen consistent double-digit volume growth in this business throughout this year and efforts across revenue cycle management and menu optimization have helped drive favorable pricing trends in key areas of focus. Efforts implemented by our commercial team late last year are driving results," continued Ms. Stueland. "Additionally, with the exit of our reproductive health businesses, we are very excited to enter the next chapter at Sema4 enabled by Centrellis as a health intelligence platform fueled by GeneDx's genomic services and clinical data."

    Highlights include:

    • Testing volumes on a pro forma basis were up 19% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, with 128,262 tests resulted (excluding COVID-19 tests)1
    • Testing volumes in pediatric and rare disease were up 20% on a pro forma basis
    • Gross margin of 16% and adjusted gross margin of 20% in the third quarter of 2022, with our pediatric and rare disease franchise generating an adjusted gross margin in excess of 40% in the quarter

    Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $83.2 million compared to $43.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. Pro forma revenue in the third quarter of 2022, assuming GeneDx's results were included for the full applicable quarter, excluding COVID-19 related revenue, was up 21%.

    Gross margin in the third quarter of 2022 was 16%. Adjusted gross margin in the third quarter of 2022 was 20%, with the pediatric and rare disease franchise generating an adjusted gross margin in excess of 40% in the quarter.

    Net loss in the third quarter of 2022 was ($77.6) million. Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was ($76.8) million compared to an adjusted net loss of ($71.0) million in the same period of 2021.

    Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $205.7 million as of September 30, 2022. As of November 4, 2022, Sema4 had 386,795,130 outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

    "During the third quarter, we experienced encouraging growth in test volumes across the total company, especially in the pediatric and rare disease business of GeneDx, where we experienced 20% growth in volumes with an associated growth in revenue of greater than 50%. Our concerted work to improve lab efficiency and revenue cycle management has helped drive a meaningful uptick in our gross margins. Following the announced exit of our reproductive health testing business, we believe our financial profile positions the company for long term success," said Kevin Feeley, Chief Financial Officer of Sema4.
