Morgan Healthcare Conference. An archived edition of the presentation will be available later that day. Myriad Genetics plans to release its actual financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 during its earnings call to be held in February 2025.

The select financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 set forth in this press release are preliminary and subject to Myriad Genetics’ normal quarter and year-end accounting procedures and external audit by the company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, these select preliminary, unaudited financial results may change in connection with the finalization of the company’s year-end closing and reporting processes and financial statements for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 and may not represent the actual financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, these select preliminary unaudited results are not a comprehensive statement of the company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, should not be viewed as a substitute for full, audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and are not necessarily indicative of the company's results for any future period.

2025 Full Year Financial Guidance
Myriad Genetics does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis for the measures on which it provides forward-looking non-GAAP guidance as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are dependent on various factors, are out of the company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, real estate optimization and transformation initiatives, certain litigation charges and loss contingencies, costs related to acquisitions/divestitures and the related amortization, impairment and related charges, and other adjustments. For example, stock-based compensation may fluctuate based on the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in the company's stock price. Any associated estimate of these items and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.

The company introduces the full year 2025 financial guidance in the table below*.

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measures
In this press release, the company’s preliminary financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and to manage the company’s business. A reconciliation of the preliminary GAAP financial results to preliminary non-GAAP financial results is included in the schedules below and a description of the adjustments made to the preliminary GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the schedules.

The company encourages investors to carefully consider its preliminary results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental preliminary non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Non-GAAP financial results are reported in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The company does not forecast GAAP operating expenses, net income (loss) or earnings per share because it cannot predict certain elements that are included in reported GAAP results. Please see above under “2025 Full Year Financial Guidance” for a full explanation.

As set forth above, the company’s financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 set forth in this press release are preliminary and subject to Myriad Genetics’ normal quarter and year-end accounting procedures and external audit by the company’s independent registered public accounting firm and therefore subject to change.
