CareDx, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
BRISBANE, Calif., May 06, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq:CDNA), a molecular diagnostics company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value diagnostic solutions for transplant patients, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Recent Highlights
- Total revenue for the first quarter of 2016 was $6.6 million
- Completed acquisition of Allenex AB, creating an international transplant diagnostics company
- Increased AlloMap patient results volume by 8% in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the same period in 2015
- Built further momentum on AlloMap Variability with 41 centers now receiving longitudinal test results on a regular basis
- Expanded AlloMap registry (OAR) now established in 28 centers
- Participated at the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Annual Meeting with a total of 8 clinical abstracts
- Continued progress on the development of cell-free DNA with DART with 359 patients enrolled at 14 centers
- Raised $14 million gross proceeds in a private placement with an additional $8 million committed
“We’ve accomplished much to start 2016, highlighted by the closing of the acquisition of Allenex. This combination positions us as a leader across the pre-to post-transplant continuum,” said Peter Maag, CareDx President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased with the underlying AlloMap test growth and are focused on execution of our initiatives to reverse the timing lag in our reimbursement collections.”
First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $6.6 million, compared with $7.2 million in the same period in 2015. Test volume increased approximately 8% for the first quarter of 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015. The revenue trend reflects a continued lag in collections, which impacted revenue recognized on a cash basis following the transition of billings and collections from an outside vendor to an in-house team.
For the first quarter of 2016, the net loss was $9.8 million compared to net loss of $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.81 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.19 in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the year-over-year net loss reflects acquisition costs, financing charges, and our investment in the development of AlloSure™, a next-generation sequencing-based test to detect donor-derived cell-free DNA after transplantation.
With the acquisition of Allenex AB in April 2016, CareDx has become a significantly larger and more complex Company that will be subject to acquisition accounting and has incurred and will continue to incur costs connected with completing the acquisition, integration and management of a global company. As described and defined below under the caption, “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, management has begun to use non-GAAP information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Management is herein reporting non-GAAP financial measures and believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with CareDx's GAAP financial statements.
For the first quarter of 2016, the non-GAAP net loss was $4.4 million compared to net loss of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. The non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.37 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.19 in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the year-over-year non-GAAP net loss reflects our investment in the development of AlloSure™, a next-generation sequencing-based test to detect donor-derived cell-free DNA after transplantation. For additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein, please see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Cash and cash equivalents were $23.8 million as of March 31, 2016.
2016 Guidance
For the full year 2016, we expect revenue to grow by low- to mid-single digits on a pro forma basis, assuming that the Allenex acquisition closed at the beginning of 2016. Actual reported results will only include Allenex results subsequent to the close of the acquisition on April 14, 2016, and we expect reported revenue for the full year 2016 to be in the range of $40 million to $42 million.

Forward Looking Statements
In addition to the historical information, this press release contains forward-looking statements with respect to our business, research, development and commercialization efforts and anticipated future financial results. These forward-looking statements are based upon information that is currently available to us and our current expectations, speak only as of the date hereof, and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the risk that our revenue or non-GAAP financial metrics may not be as high as anticipated, risks related to the successful integration of Allenex AB and Olerup SSP into our product line, risks relating to our dependence on the sales of one test, AlloMap, for substantially all of our current revenue, our dependence on Medicare for a substantial portion of our revenue, our dependence on health insurers and other third-party payers to provide coverage for our current test and future tests, if any, risks of increased competition from other market participants, many of whom have substantially greater resources than us and risks related to our development and commercialization of additional diagnostic solutions. These factors, together with those that are described in our filings with the SEC, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed by us with the SEC on March 29, 2016, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation, except as required by law, or undertaking to update or revise any such forward-looking statements. Additional information will also be set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Our results for the most recent reporting period are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CareDx has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and also on a non-GAAP basis in this release, including non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share. We define non-GAAP net loss and per share results as the GAAP net loss and per share results excluding the impacts of stock-based compensation, changes in estimated fair value of contingent consideration, costs involved with completing an acquisition, and certain financing charges. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in assessing our operating results through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core business operating results over multiple periods. Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with CareDx's GAAP financial statements, because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of CareDx's operating results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided immediately following the financial tables.
