- On October 30, 2023, we enacted a plan to remove approximately $40M in annual operating expense including no less than $20M through headcount reductions which have already been completed
- Revenue growth through 2025 expected to be driven by whole exome/genome testing, which operates at >60% gross margins
- Assuming no change in the current margin profile, increasing exome/genome's annual gross profit by $65M requires us to maintain growth rates in 2024 and 2025 at nearly half of what was achieved in 2023
- As exome/WGS takes more share of test mix from low/negative margin legacy panels, gross margin will rise
- Beyond break-even, we see significant additional upside in -
- Further reducing exome/WGS COGS as we benefit from scale and certain in-flight AI/automation initiatives
- Improving collection rates across the portfolio as payor coverage expands and we increase internal performance regarding collection/reimbursement performance
- Acceleration of our biopharma/data business
- Untapped long-term opportunities providing WGS newborn screening, interpretation as a service, and others
