invitae earnings call

We also feel that we are approaching a bit of a transition point in the industry. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today Laura D'Angelo with InVitae. And I know this is just a break in the action for you rather than something that warrants the so long or a good bye. You spoke a little earlier about global, now that your accession rate hit 10% on the international basis. How should we think about your near-terms of gross margin trajectory? The other time that we got that one time pick up was in the fourth quarter and that was $1.9 million, also for Medicare but that time for Lynch syndrome. And then of course the additional pharma programs we've picked up the pace of pharma programs addition we've launched a handful of our own and those also if you consider the timing of all those those are also things that we feel and see are contributing toward the back end of the year. The statement you made is the right one. And I think I'll just leave it at that. Shelly can kind of get in the details. In a very short period of time, we have ramped up commercial insurance coverage now approximately 275 million lives in network. So again there is a lot of momentum here and I appreciate what you just walked through Sean on NIPT, NIPS but that does seem to be a big jump at least on the surface. So it's really the volume throughput, which allows us to have much more control on driving those long-term costs down. Thanks for all the color. Great, that's helpful. So that is how we chose those four areas and it really came up in terms of pharma conversations where they were looking to be able to generate data in those areas. And to the extent that we can envision taking those data streams and mass generating that data on every sample that comes in the door, that's a kind of thing that we're looking to add to our technology stack. On the other hand I think productivity would actually need to improve by about 25% relative to what you did in Q3 using the same metric just based on the fact that I think because you're ramping new people the productivity is a little lower than it was last year. Is that something that you expect to have to drive volumes at some point this year or beyond? But now, when you think of things like pharmacogenomics, when you think of autism, when you think of kind of more emerging areas for which the data is accumulating that genetics is important that previously perhaps wasn't treated as a Mendelian disease' but is now becoming important for healthcare, those are other areas as well. Yeah, it's not only reproductive. That's already had an impact. No, that's great. We refer you to our 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30 2019 in particular to the section titled Risk Factors for additional information on factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that various remarks that we make on this call that are not historical, including those about our future financial and operating results, our plans and prospects, the focus of our business strategy, our plans to integrate and manage businesses we acquire, market opportunities, future products, service -- services, our product pipeline and the timing thereof, demand for and reimbursement of our services, and our investment in our infrastructure and operations constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. That's still our view on track to that. Hey, guys, thanks for taking my question. It's very helpful. So that's how we view the reproductive health clinical market, it's kind of think of it as 6 million, I mean just in the US per year that are going to go through that journey and could use that information. Cash burn and non-GAAP measures totaled $33.2 million in the second quarter of 2019. Yes. So, as you may recall for somatic, we originally partnered and then decided that we could actually do that on our own probably building on a better stack as we developed it internally. And so we will look at complementing to build the full suite of types of products that are being asked for by our partners, whether that be reproductive whether that be somatic, etc. But again breaking out specifics. Beyond cancer, we have found exactly the same to be true in other areas of medicine. And then the second coding related question is I'm just curious what your thoughts are on the new NGS NCD that was proposed by CMS? I'm happy to sure I didn't mention solid again solid and growing contribution from our OUS business. It tends to be region specific for a lot of reasons that we are not worth going into now or perhaps ever. Thank you, operator. January 20, 2021 Invitae Announces Proposed Public Offering of Common Stock READ MORE NYSE: NVTA 54.76 - 2.17 - 3.81% Volume: 577,903 20 minute delay January 21, 2021 IR HOME With regards to the biopharma channel, can you just talk to us a little bit about -- give some framework as the relative order of magnitude of contribution to pharma and kind of also to what extent now that you do have that phase initiated channel, are you seeing a change in uptake of your patient volumes that are may in part be driven through access through that channel? Our approach is gaining ground with the broader commercial launch of our direct channel, which enables those customers for the first time to order the same clinical grade testing that experts have come to rely on from Invitae. Taking these changes into account we believe that our ASPs will bounce around a bit but that we will see the ASPs trend lower in the near term as our payer and product mix changes. Thank you for taking my questions. Great, thanks for. If you look at the charts in our slides, you don't see any dotted lines. In InVitae we're committed to advancing science and improving the practice of evidence-based genetics. But any thoughts as to where there might be opportunities strategically to get to some of the longer-term goals more rapidly, bring in the larger and more kind of commercial stage assets into retail, particularly given the currency you have here in the pharma stock, guys? We made the point that we were probably going to focus more on adding content and delivering new content than we were on reducing COGS in the near-term having approached our margin model and that's what we have been doing for the last couple of quarters really for much of this year. And then we did also call out some of the stock-based comp for the executive management and that was higher in this quarter because it was new and you will continue to see that over the next several quarters also So there is a breakdown in the queue. And as we expected there was a uniform reaction among the professional science society the industry and advocacy groups suggesting that that was a wrong turn and indeed the revised National Coverage Decision reflects that and is no longer limited to late stage cancer patients. It is important that there is a lag in this and we would expect that we would have higher payments for those programs in the future. It's a little more but it's not that much more. In the second quarter, we generated $53.5 million in revenue, which represents a 43% growth in quarterly revenue year-over-year. Invitae (NVTA) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2020. Okay. And then on the expense side could you provide any further commentary as far as the stock compensation. The team is now here, we've moved their development laboratory where we think we can get it into production within 18 months or 24 months somewhere thereabout. At quarter end our cash cash equivalents restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $473.5 million. Look, I think the way and this is a -- it's actually, it's a telling question of the way we view both the industry and the way we've built the business. So as I retire and take some time up to spend with my amazing wife, who has put up with me starting and running companies for 35 years and kids and three of the cutest grand kids you've ever seen, it really is knowing that Invitae is in great hands going forward. Certainly, so we added 12 additional programs this quarter, and what we've seen is a handful of things. We are honored to be named one of only seven companies in UnitedHealthcare's Preferred Lab Network effective July 1st. So it may be that that's what they have in mind but I don't for a minute think that the outcome that people are worried about is what CMS intended or what will result when the NCD is finalized. I think what's been really interesting to see though that we've seen ordering from across our testing menu. As far as the Street 2020 numbers I mean fair question. So it's worth just clarifying there -- there is the sales channel and then there is the direct channel, which is the direct marketing and digital advertising. Please see our Terms and Conditions for additional details, including our Obligatory Capitalized Disclaimers of Liability. Okay that's helpful. When we've been counting on and driving to for many years in which the adoption of advanced technology surrounding genetics starts delivering ever increasing value to individuals around the globe at an accelerated pace relative to that of the historical diagnostic industries. I will now turn the call over to Shelly to highlight our financial results for the quarter. Yes, the guidance this year for the 500,000 samples and all of the revenue associated with that -- that's, that is we hope that by covering that arc of care, whether it's the reproductive arc or the cancer arc or the cardio arc, by providing that full arc of care from start to finish, we hope that we will start demonstrating that there are multiple datasets that we can deliver and add value for the patient and subsequently get paid for. We're very, very bullish on it. Before getting into my questions, I just want to say, Randy, you've had a very profound impact on Invitae and the broader world of genetics. Our guidance on future company performance assumes among other things that we do not include any additional business acquisitions investments restructurings or legal settlements. Thank you Laura. This is where we're taking a step back. I want to start with a long-term financial target question and then come back to the more near-term to break down 2019 guidance a little bit. And are you bearing the full cost of that and what's the expectation here in longer term in terms of volume? Invitae Corporation (NYSE: NVTA) today announced that it has commenced an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million of shares of its common stock, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other Thank you for joining us today. While the third quarter is normally one of our slower-growth quarters we achieved 16% sequential growth from the second quarter higher than last year's 7% sequential growth. Kevin Michael DeGeeter -- Oppenheimer & Co. -- Analyst. Q4 has traditionally been the strongest quarter. Now turning to revenue we generated $56.5 million in revenue in the third quarter which represents a 51% growth in quarterly revenue year-over-year. And how are we tracking to our guidance with approximately 334000 accessions year-to-date we stand at about 67% of our annual guidance in the first nine months of the year. Our financial strategy is to focus on the increase of operating cash flows. And then of course, with a three month to six month burn in that, that's the other factor that gives us a late contribution from the new, the last bit of the new ebbs. Your line is open. But the COGS will be driven down over the next several quarters. The gross margin target the same. Hi, thanks. Last year we only grew 7% between these quarters. Hi Doug. So I'd just say, congrats and enjoy it and we'll talk soon. We can do better going after the demand that we know exists at the price points that we can currently offer and people are willing to pay. I can offer the color commentary that this is like given our trajectory and given how we think the next couple of years are going to go. So that's why I would leave that one on the next year cash question. And then frankly we'll go from there. Yeah, the short answer is yes. Your line is open. And that's of course why we acquired them. Your line is open. Jungla, we spent a good four plus months in a pilot or collaboration with them before we really started moving to discussing teaming up together. Robert L. Nussbaum -- Chief Medical Officer. Thanks Randy. And if I could just squeeze in one on the commercial front, could you just I don't know if you gave the sales rep count that you have currently and sort of where does that go by the year end in terms of the expansions that you're doing? And then later to find those corporate partners. And I would add the other -- by the way the other benefit for really acquiring some small really innovative shocks as you pick up, you pick up great start-up talent that is used to working in an environment that is very unforgiving and timeline focused and tend to be pretty, pretty experienced folks that understand the technology well and with all our acquisitions we've -- with many of our acquisitions, we've been able to add that to the Invitae culture and this is no exception. Was there a more detail on the pharma side you wanted to go into? At the end of Q3, remember it was only 7% growth. That whole entire team continues to be highly motivated to run to the tape to the end of the year. We improved gross profit by more than 50% from the previous year, generating $25.5 million in the second quarter of 2019, versus $16.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. Do the numbers hold … The increase in percentage from third party payers is largely due to the full effect of Medicare paying for the del/dups for HBOC and Lynch syndrome, as well as from continued increases in insurance payments. We don't break out the specifics of our different business lines. While we've elected to push our path to GAAP profitability out and instead make 2019 a year of investment, we will operate the company to maintain the ability to swing to profitability with the resources on hand. Hey good afternoon. Recall that we had suggested that around 40% of our revenue historically came in the first half of the year. We reiterate our guidance for the year of over 500,000 accession samples for 2019. Our spend on the base business increased by $5.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to continued investment in R&D including headcount expansion focused on scaling our business content expansion improving the customer experience and reducing COGS. The three major reasons are we have the salesforce ads came in and are now only in August fully ramped up and productive and the whole team is now having motivated focus on the end of the year. So we will continue to work actively on trying to bring down that COGS things such as automation and our medical interpretation things such as the Jungla acquisition and some of the variance reading capabilities will all drive that COGS down. Sure. So a couple of questions as we think about trends heading into year-end. All just normal course of business this quarter. First, we had an increase of $4.9 million of stock-based compensation in opex in the second quarter, primarily due to the annual retention and merit-based RSUs granted. Hey, congratulations on a really strong quarter guys, and thanks for taking my questions. And that's kind of it -- as we look aspirationally until next year and as a reminder, we provide guidance -- routinely, we provide guidance in January but aspirationally as we think about a million samples of $500 million in revenue next year, we absolutely are expecting a contribution of the idea that multiple tests would be ordered off the same sample that results in one part of the family would leave lead to testing and results in the other part of the family that for example integrated care networks would be interested in not only the data that is answering the question for the individual at the time of clinical care, but also data that could answer larger population based questions for the larger management of their population and thus you could create the value multiple times off the same data set for the same patient. We've got these three things that we think contribute and give us confidence that we're tracking. One, we're adding additional partners to existing programs and we are adding additional programs to existing partners too. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. With that said our reproductive business has been pretty steady since our acquisitions more or less 30% of the business bouncing around over time but roughly. That's right I'd say. This quarter's operating expense includes $47 million in research and development $32.7 million in sales and marketing costs and $21.7 million in general and administrative costs. Your next question comes from the line of Puneet Souda from SVB Leerink. But we had suggested that at some point in time, people who pay for genetic testing, genetic information are going to start looking at the line item and asking questions and it would appear that that has begun and with United as a leader in it, I think we expect over the next year for many more to follow suit. So super excited about this super excited about working with this system to do it to do it right there are all kinds of implications for the future in the future model.
