Recent Business Accomplishments

• Highlighted clinical performance of NeXT Personal® at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in May
  • Compelling breast cancer detection results were presented by Dr. Isaac Garcia-Murillas (Institute of Cancer Research, London) and Prof. Nicolas Turner (Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust UK). In this study, they found:
    • NeXT Personal detected cancer recurrence approximately 15 months before imaging

    • Baseline levels of ctDNA and the changes detected by NeXT Personal predict therapy response and clinical outcomes for late-stage cancer patients receiving immunotherapy
    • NeXT Personal detected cancer progression 81 days before imaging on average
• Delivered 561 total molecular tests in the second quarter of 2024, a 66% increase compared with the prior quarter, and commenced NeXT Personal Dx commercialization efforts with Tempus AI, Inc. (Tempus)

Second Quarter 2024 Results Compared to Second Quarter 2023

Now that our collaborators have presented compelling NeXT Personal clinical evidence, we expect to leverage that towards obtaining Medicare coverage and materially increasing the number of patients we can help,” said Chris Hall, Chief Executive Officer at Personalis. “As we continue to execute on our Win-in-MRD strategy, we are more confident than ever in our ability to drive broad adoption for patient testing.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

To supplement our financial guidance presented in accordance with GAAP, we are presenting expected non-GAAP net loss for the full year ending December 31, 2024, which excludes income and expense from the outstanding warrants issued to Tempus from GAAP net loss. We are excluding income and expense attributable to the fair value of the outstanding warrants issued to Tempus because they are non-cash financial measures that require remeasurement of the fair value, derived from the then-current trading price of our Common Stock, as of each reporting date, and consequently there is substantial uncertainty associated with forecasting the fair value of the Tempus warrants at the future measurement dates. For this reason, we have not provided a reconciliation of our forward-looking non-GAAP net loss to GAAP net loss (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure), in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in the applicable regulations.
