These preliminary results will be included in a presentation
that will be made available through a live webcast in the investor
relations section of the Myriad Genetics website at
investor.myriad.com on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at 3:45 p.m. PT
(6:45 p.m. ET) in connection with the company’s presentation at the
43rd Annual J.P. 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 GuidanceMyriad
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

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial
measuresIn 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.
