Overview

We are a leading diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease. By combining a multi-omic approach with a holistic view of the patient’s disease state, we believe our testing solutions provide physicians with greater insights to help personalize their patient’s care and meaningfully improve disease detection, evaluation, and treatment. Our unique approach to precision medicine provides timely and actionable clinical information, which we believe helps improve overall patient outcomes and lowers the overall healthcare cost by reducing the use of ineffective and unnecessary treatments and procedures. In addition to our diagnostic tests, we provide biopharmaceutical companies with services that include diagnostic research, clinical trial testing, and the discovery, development, and commercialization of companion diagnostics. We also recognize revenue from other services, including amounts derived from licensing our technologies.

Our core belief is that no single technology will answer all clinical questions that we encounter. Therefore, we employ multiple technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, radiomics, and AI enabled informatics, to discover innovative diagnostic tests for potential clinical use. Our multi-omic approach is designed to enable us to discover diagnostic tests that answer critical clinical questions faced by physicians, researchers, and biopharmaceutical companies.

We continuously incorporate new market insights and patient data to enhance our platform through a data-driven learning loop. We regularly engage with our customers, key opinion leaders, and scientific experts to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving diagnostic treatment landscape to identify additional clinical unmet needs where a diagnostic test could help improve patient care. Additionally, we incorporate clinical and molecular profiling data from our commercial clinical testing, research studies, clinical trials, and biopharmaceutical customers or other collaborative partnerships, to continue to advance our platform. We have a variety of samples with associated data in our biobank, including tumor profiles and immune profiles, which are used for both internal and external research and development initiatives.

We have commercialized five diagnostic tests for our lung diagnostic business, each of which have Medicare coverage, which are currently available for use by physicians. Our Nodify XL2 and Nodify CDT tests, marketed as Nodify Lung Nodule Risk Assessment testing, assess the risk of lung cancer to help identify the most appropriate treatment pathway. The Nodify CDT and XL2 tests have an established average turnaround time of one and five business days, respectively, from receipt of the blood sample, providing physicians with timely results to guide diagnostic planning. The Nodify Lung Risk Assessment testing has resulted in a change in the calculated risk of malignancy in 80-85% of the cases. We believe we are the only company to offer two commercial blood-based tests to help physicians reclassify risk of malignancy in patients with suspicious lung nodules. Our GeneStrat ddPCR, GeneStrat NGS, and VeriStrat tests, marketed as part of our IQLung testing strategy, are used following diagnosis of lung cancer to detect the presence of mutations in the tumor and the state of the patient’s immune system to help guide treatment decisions. The GeneStrat targeted tumor genomic profiling test and the VeriStrat immune profiling test have an established average turnaround time of two business days. The GeneStrat NGS test is our blood-based NGS test and has an established average turnaround time of three business days. The 52-gene panel includes

guideline recommended mutations to help physicians treating advanced-stage lung cancer patients identify all four major mutation classes and genes, such as EGFR, ALK, KRAS, MET, NTRK, ERBB2, and others, and delivers them in an expedited timeframe so patient treatment can begin sooner.

In addition to the five diagnostic tests currently on the market, we perform more than 30 assays for research use as part of our laboratory services that have been used by over 65 biopharmaceutical companies and academic partners. All of our diagnostic and services testing is performed at one of our two accredited, high-complexity clinical laboratories in Louisville, Colorado and De Soto, Kansas.

Since our inception, we have performed over 600,000 clinical diagnostic tests, and continue to generate a large and growing body of clinical evidence consisting of over 300 clinical and scientific peer-reviewed publications, presentations, and abstracts. Through ongoing study of each of our tests, we continue to grow our depth of understanding of disease biology and the broad utility of each of our tests. We believe we are poised for rapid growth by leveraging our scientific development and laboratory operations expertise along with our commercial infrastructure which includes sales, marketing, reimbursement, and regulatory affairs.

In the United States, we market our tests to clinical customers through our targeted sales organization, which includes sales representatives that are engaged in sales efforts and promotional activities primarily to pulmonologists, oncologists, cancer centers and nodule clinics. We market our tests and services to biopharmaceutical companies globally through our targeted business development team, which promotes the broad utility of our tests and testing capabilities throughout drug development and commercialization which is of value to pharmaceutical companies and their drug-development process.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, through our partnership with Bio-Rad, we commercialized the Biodesix WorkSafe testing program, which included three commercialized tests. These tests under the Biodesix WorkSafe testing program were utilized by healthcare providers, including hospitals and nursing homes, and were also offered to businesses and educational systems. We announced multiple partnerships for COVID-19 testing and maintained an agreement with the State of Colorado to be one of the diagnostic companies to support widespread COVID-19 testing for the State, which expired on August 31, 2022. Our scientific diagnostic expertise, technologies, and existing commercial infrastructure enabled us to rapidly commercialize two FDA EUA authorized tests, a part of our customizable program. Both diagnostic tests are owned and were developed by Bio-Rad and Bio-Rad has granted us permission to utilize both tests for commercial diagnostic services. The Bio-Rad SARS-CoV-2 ddPCR test was FDA EUA authorized on May 1, 2020, authorizing performance of the test in laboratories certified under CLIA to perform high complexity tests. The second test is the Platelia SARS-CoV-2 Total Ab test, which is an antibody test intended for detecting a B-cell immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. The Platelia SARS-CoV-2 Total Ab test was FDA EUA authorized on April 29, 2020. Beginning in second quarter 2021, we began partnering with GenScript Biotech Corporation to commercialize the blood-based cPass SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody testing as a service. The test was the first surrogate neutralizing antibody test with FDA EUA and uses ELISA technology to qualitatively detect circulating neutralizing antibodies to the RBD in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 that are produced in response to a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Medical products that are granted an EUA are only permitted to commercialize their products under the terms and conditions provided in the authorization. The FDA may revoke an EUA where it is determined that the underlying health emergency no longer exists or warrants such authorization, if the conditions for the issuance of the EUA are no longer met, or if other circumstances make revocation appropriate to protect the public health or safety. On January 30, 2023, the White House issued a Statement of Administration Policy announcing the President’s intention to allow the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319 to expire on May 11, 2023. In connection with the expiration of the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319, the Company no longer provides commercial COVID-19 diagnostic testing services.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe there are several important factors that have impacted our operating performance and results of operations, including:

•

Testing volume and customer mix. Our revenues and costs are affected by the volume of testing and mix of customers from period to period. We evaluate both the volume of our commercial tests, or the number of tests that we perform for patients on behalf of clinicians, as well as tests for biopharmaceutical companies. Our performance depends on our ability to retain and increase adoption with existing customers, as well as attract new customers. We believe that the test volume we receive from clinicians and biopharmaceutical companies are indicators of growth in each of these customer verticals. Customer mix for our tests has the potential to significantly impact our results of operations, as the average selling price for biopharmaceutical sample testing is currently significantly greater than our average selling price for clinical tests since we are not a contracted provider for, or our tests are not covered by all clinical patients’ insurance. We evaluate our average selling price for tests that are covered by Medicare, Medicare Advantage and commercial payers to understand the trends in reimbursement and apply those trends to our revenue recognition policies.

•

Reimbursement for clinical diagnostic testing. Our revenue depends on achieving broad coverage and reimbursement for our tests from third-party payers, including both commercial and government payers. On June 7, 2022, we announced that WPS Government Health Administrators, the Medicare administrative contractor with jurisdiction for Biodesix’s De Soto, Kansas laboratory, has provided coverage for the Nodify CDT lung nodule test. All five Biodesix blood-based lung diagnostic

tests within the Nodify Lung Nodule Risk Assessment testing strategy and IQLung strategy for lung cancer patients are now covered by Medicare. Payment from third-party payers differs depending on whether we have entered into a contract with the payers as a “participating provider” or do not have a contract and are considered a “non-participating provider.” Payers will often reimburse non-participating providers, if at all, at a lower rate than participating providers.

Historically, we have experienced situations where commercial payers proactively reduced the amounts they were willing to reimburse for our tests, and in other situations, commercial payers have determined that the amounts they previously paid were too high and have sought to recover those perceived excess payments by deducting such amounts from payments otherwise being made. When we contract to serve as a participating provider, reimbursements are made pursuant to a negotiated fee schedule and are limited to only covered indications. Becoming a participating provider generally results in higher reimbursement for covered indications and lack of reimbursement for non-covered indications. As a result, the impact of becoming a participating provider with a specific payer will vary. If we are not able to obtain or maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payers, we may not be able to effectively increase our testing volume and revenue as expected. Additionally, retrospective reimbursement adjustments can negatively impact our revenue and cause our financial results to fluctuate.

On October, 17, 2022, the Company announced that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA), the largest integrated health care system in the United States, awarded a Federal Supply Schedule Contract for the Company’s entire portfolio of lung cancer diagnostic tests. The VA provides care at 1,298 health care facilities, including 171 VA Medical Centers and 1,113 outpatient sites of care of varying complexity to over 9 million veterans enrolled in the VA health care program. All of our existing lung diagnostic tests will be payable when performed and partnering with the VA represents a large opportunity for Biodesix to help improve care for our Veterans by integrating our five diagnostic products and testing strategies into our country’s largest health system.

On December 19, 2022, the Company announced the signing of our first four private payer commercial policies covering our Nodify XL2 test. These contracts included three Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Kansas City, and a contract with Capital District Physician’s Health Plan in New York. In total these new private pay contracts add approximately 4.5 million covered lives, and are in geographic regions of the country where the incidence of lung cancer is high.

On July 6, 2023, the Company announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has designated the Nodify CDT Test as an Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Test (ADLT) effective June 30, 2023. Obtaining ADLT status is a recognition that the Nodify CDT test meets the stringent criteria established under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014. ADLT status is reserved for innovative tests with Medicare coverage that provide new clinical diagnostic information that cannot be obtained from any other test or combination of tests.

•

Investment in clinical studies and product innovation to support growth. A significant aspect of our business is our investment in research and development, including the development of new products and our investments in clinical utility studies. We have invested heavily in clinical studies for our on market and pipeline products. Our studies focus primarily on the clinical utility of our tests including the ongoing INSIGHT study to continue our clinical understanding of the predictive and prognostic value of the VeriStrat test. On June 27, 2023, we completed and closed enrollment of 5,000 patients in the INSIGHT study with non-small cell lung cancer. The ALTITUDE study, launched during the fourth quarter 2020, seeks to further demonstrate the efficacy of the Nodify XL2 and Nodify CDT tests. A secondary focus of our studies is understanding the economic impact of our tests in assisting with decisions related to patient management and the potential impact of our tests in reducing overall healthcare costs. On July 12, 2023, we announced the prospective, real-world ORACLE study (An Observational Registry Study to Evaluate the Performance of the Nodify XL2 Test) achieved the primary endpoint of a statistically significant change in the proportion of benign lung nodules managed by Nodify XL2 experiencing invasive procedures. The ORACLE study showed patients with benign nodules managed with the Nodify XL2 test were 74% less likely to undergo an unnecessary invasive procedure compared to the control group. Additionally, the proportion of patients sent to CT surveillance with malignant nodules did not differ between the Nodify XL2 group and the control group.

Our clinical research has resulted in approximately 90 peer-reviewed publications for our tests. In addition to clinical studies, we are collaborating with investigators from multiple academic cancer centers. On June 3, 2022, we announced the intent to develop a new novel molecular minimal residual disease (MRD) test as a part of a master sponsored research agreement (MSRA) with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). In addition, the MSRA between MSK and the Company also includes the potential future development of other diagnostic tests aimed at improving the treatment of cancer. We believe these studies are critical to gaining physician adoption and driving favorable coverage decisions by payers and expect our investments in research and development to increase. Further we also expect to increase our research and development expenses to fund further innovation and develop new clinically relevant tests.

•

Ability to attract new biopharmaceutical customers and maintain and expand relationships with existing customers. Our business development team promotes the broad utility of our products for biopharmaceutical companies in the United

States and internationally. Our revenue, business opportunities and growth depend in part on our ability to attract new biopharmaceutical customers and to maintain and expand relationships with existing biopharmaceutical customers. We expect to increase our sales and marketing expenses in furtherance of this as we continue to develop these relationships, and we expect to support a growing number of investigations and clinical trials. If our relationships expand, we believe we may have opportunities to offer our platform for companion diagnostic development, novel target discovery and validation efforts, and to grow into other commercial opportunities. For example, we believe our multi-omic data including genomic and proteomic data, in combination with clinical outcomes or claims data, has revenue-generating potential, including for novel target identification and companion diagnostic discovery and development.

On June 30, 2022, the Company announced an arrangement with Royal Philips, a global leader in health care technology, in which our Nodify Lung blood-based lung nodule risk assessment testing will be incorporated into Philips Lung Cancer Orchestrator lung cancer patient management system. The incorporation of proteomics data – along with the radiologic and patient history data currently used to determine treatment decisions – can help create diagnostic efficiency for cancer care centers in the management of a growing number of lung nodule cases, via the contextual launch of Biodesix Nodify Lung application within Lung Cancer Orchestrator. Philips Lung Cancer Orchestrator solution is designed to enable health systems to operationalize lung cancer screening and lung nodule management programs at scale.

•

Motivating and expanding our field sales force and customer support team. Our field sales force is the primary point of contact in the clinical setting. These representatives of the Company must cover expansive geographic regions which limits their time for interaction and education of our products in the clinical setting. We plan to continue investing in the field sales force through select expansion and provide them with tools that maximize their education and selling efforts in order to achieve greater returns. Additionally, we plan to invest in the marketing and customer support teams to continue to provide the field sales force with the resources to be successful.

While each of these areas present significant opportunities for us, they also pose significant risks and challenges that we must address. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for more information.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, our lung diagnostic testing operations. To protect the health and well-being of our workforce, partners, vendors and customers, we provide voluntary COVID-19 testing for employees working on-site, implemented social distance and building entry policies at work, restricted travel and facility visits, and followed the States of Colorado and Kansas’ public health orders and the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Employees who can perform their duties remotely have the option to work from home. Our sales, marketing and business development efforts may be constrained by our operational response to future COVID-19 variant outbreaks. We will continue to adjust our operational norms, as needed, including complying with government directives and guidelines as they are modified and supplemented.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the surge associated with multiple variants have negatively affected our lung diagnostic testing-related revenue and our clinical studies. Beginning in the third quarter 2020, the Company’s COVID-19 testing services began to experience rapid growth with a peak in the first quarter 2021; however, subsequent to this peak, we experienced a rapid decline in COVID-19 testing revenue primarily as a result of a few significant contracts that expired as well as the ongoing increase in COVID-19 vaccination rates across the U.S. and the adoption and availability of at-home testing. On January 30, 2023, the White House issued a Statement of Administration Policy announcing the President’s intention to allow the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319 to expire on May 11, 2023. In connection with the expiration of the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319, the Company no longer provides commercial COVID-19 diagnostic testing services.

See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a description of how the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial and Operational Highlights

The following were significant developments affecting our business, capital structure and liquidity during the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 unless otherwise noted:

•

Total revenue of $14.7 million and $49.1 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2023, respectively, an increase of 52% and 49% over the respective prior year comparable periods excluding COVID testing revenues, and an increase of 53% and 28% over the respective prior year comparable periods including COVID testing revenues;

Lung Diagnostic revenue of $12.8 million and $45.1 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2023, respectively, an increase of 55% and 54% over the respective prior year comparable periods, primarily driven by the continued adoption of Nodify Lung® Nodule Risk Assessment tests;

Biopharma Services and other revenue of $1.9 million and $3.9 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2023, respectively, an increase of 38% and 6% over the respective prior year comparable periods, a result of both delivering against our expanding book of business and securing new agreements;

•

Gross profit was $11.3 million or 77% and $36.1 million or 73% for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2023, respectively, as a percentage of revenue compared to 66% and 63% in the prior year comparable periods, primarily driven by growth in Lung Diagnostic testing and optimization of testing workflows that resulted in improvements in costs per test, the ongoing recovery of our Biopharma Services business, and the commercial discontinuation of lower-margin COVID-19 testing;

Cash balance includes the remaining $12.2 million of the $27.5 million private placement announced in August 2023.

Components of Operating Results

Revenues

We derive our revenue from two primary sources: (i) providing diagnostic testing in the clinical setting (Diagnostic Tests); and (ii) providing biopharmaceutical companies with services that include diagnostic research, clinical research, clinical trial testing, development and testing services generally provided outside the clinical setting and governed by individual contracts with third parties as well as development and commercialization of companion diagnostics. We also recognize revenue from other services, including amounts derived from licensing our technologies (Biopharma Services and other).

Diagnostic Tests

Diagnostic test revenue is generated from delivery of results from our diagnostic tests. In the United States, we performed tests as both an in-network and out-of-network service provider depending on the test performed and the contracted status of the insurer. We provide diagnostic tests in two primary categories: (i) lung diagnostic testing and (ii) COVID-19 testing. On January 30, 2023, the White House issued a Statement of Administration Policy announcing the President’s intention to allow the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319 to expire on May 11, 2023. In connection with the expiration of the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319, the Company no longer provides commercial COVID-19 diagnostic testing services.

We consider diagnostic testing to be completed upon the delivery of test results to our customer, either the prescribing physician or third-party to which we contracted for services to be performed, which is considered the performance obligation. The fees for such services are billed either to a third party such as Medicare, medical facilities, commercial insurance payers, or to the patient. We determine the transaction price related to our contracts by considering the nature of the payer, test type, the historical amount of time until payment by a payer, and historical price concessions granted to groups of customers.

Biopharma Services and other

Services revenue is generated from the delivery of our on-market tests, pipeline tests, custom diagnostic testing, and other scientific services for a purpose as defined by any individual customer. At times we collaborate with large biopharmaceutical companies in an attempt to discover biomarkers that would be helpful in their drug development or marketing. The performance obligations and related revenue for these sales is defined by a written agreement between us and our customer. These services are generally completed upon

the delivery of testing results, or other contractually defined milestone(s), to the customer, which is considered the performance obligation. Customers for these services are typically large pharmaceutical companies where collectability is reasonably assured and therefore revenue is accrued upon completion of the performance obligations. Revenue derived from services is often unpredictable and can cause significant swings in our overall net revenue line from quarter to quarter.

In addition, other revenue includes amounts derived from licensing our digital sequencing technologies to our international laboratory partners. We are compensated through royalty-based payments for the licensed technology, and depending on the nature of the technology licensing arrangements, and considering factors including, but not limited to: enforceable right to payment and payment terms, and if an asset with alternative use is created, these revenues are recognized in the period when royalty-bearing sales occur.

Operating Expenses

Direct costs and expenses

Cost of diagnostic testing generally consists of cost of materials, direct labor, including bonuses, employee benefits, share-based compensation, equipment and infrastructure expenses associated with acquiring and processing test samples, including sample accessioning, test performance, quality control analyses, charges to collect and transport samples; curation of test results for physicians; and in some cases, license or royalty fees due to third parties. Costs associated with performing our tests are recorded as the tests are processed regardless of whether revenue was recognized with respect to the tests. Infrastructure expenses include allocated depreciation of laboratory equipment, rent costs, amortization of leasehold improvements and information technology costs. Royalties for licensed technology are calculated as a percentage of revenues generated using the associated technology and recorded as expense at the time the related revenue is recognized. One-time royalty payments related to signing of license agreements or other milestones, such as issuance of new patents, are amortized to expense over the expected useful life of the patents. While we do not believe the technologies underlying these licenses are necessary to permit us to provide our tests, we do believe these technologies are potentially valuable and of possible strategic importance to us or our competitors. Under these license agreements, we are obligated to pay aggregate royalties ranging from 1% to 8% of sales in which the patents or know-how are used in the product or service sold, sometimes subject to minimum annual royalties or fees in certain agreements.

We expect the aggregate cost of diagnostic testing to increase in line with the increase in the number of tests we perform, but the cost per test to decrease modestly over time due to the efficiencies we may gain as test volume increases, and from automation and other cost reductions. Cost of services includes costs incurred for the performance of development services requested by our customers. Costs of development services will vary depending on the nature, timing and scope of customer projects.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred to develop technology and include salaries, share-based compensation and benefits, reagents and supplies used in research and development laboratory work, infrastructure expenses, including allocated facility occupancy and information technology costs, contract services, clinical studies, other outside costs and costs to develop our technology capabilities. Research and development expenses account for a significant portion of our operating expenses and consist primarily of external and internal costs incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our product candidates.

External expenses include: (i) payments to third parties in connection with the clinical development of our product candidates, including contract research organizations and consultants; (ii) the cost of manufacturing products for use in our preclinical studies and clinical trials, including payments to contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and consultants; (iii) scientific development services, consulting research fees and for sponsored research arrangements with third parties; (iv) laboratory supplies; and (v) allocated facilities, depreciation and other expenses, which include direct or allocated expenses for IT, rent and maintenance of facilities. External expenses are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information provided to us by our service providers or our estimate of the level of service that has been performed at each reporting date. We track external costs by the stage of program, clinical or preclinical.

Internal expenses include employee-related costs, including salaries, share-based compensation and related benefits for employees engaged in research and development functions. We do not track internal costs by product candidate because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are deferred and recognized as expense in the period in which the related goods are received or services are rendered. Costs to develop our technology capabilities are recorded as research and development.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase as we continue to innovate and develop additional products and expand our data management resources. As our services revenue grows, an increasing portion of research and development dollars are expected to be allocated to cost of services for biopharmaceutical service contracts. This expense, though expected to increase in dollars, is expected to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term, though it may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenues from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

Sales, marketing, general and administrative

Our sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and include costs associated with our sales organization, including our direct sales force and sales management, client services, marketing and reimbursement, as well as business development personnel who are focused on our biopharmaceutical customers. These expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits, share-based compensation, and travel, as well as marketing and educational activities and allocated overhead expenses. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in dollars as we expand our sales force, increase our presence within the United States, and increase our marketing activities to drive further awareness and adoption of our tests and our future products. These expenses, though expected to increase in dollars, are expected to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term, though they may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenues from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

Our general and administrative expenses include costs for our executive, accounting, finance, legal and human resources functions. These expenses consist principally of salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, share-based compensation, and travel, as well as professional services fees such as consulting, audit, tax and legal fees, and general corporate costs and allocated overhead expenses. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in dollars, primarily due to increased headcount and costs associated with operating as a public company, including expenses related to legal, accounting, regulatory, maintaining compliance with exchange listing and requirements of the SEC, director and officer insurance premiums and investor relations. These expenses, though expected to increase in dollars, are expected to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term, though they may fluctuate as a percentage from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.

Non-Operating Expenses

Interest Expense and Interest Income

For the year ended December 31, 2023, interest expense consists of cash and non-cash interest from the Perceptive Term Loan Facility and changes in the value of our contingent consideration associated with the passage of time subsequent to the achievement of the gross margin target in the second quarter 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, interest expense primarily consists of cash and non-cash interest from the secured promissory note with Streeterville, the 2021 Term Loan, the Perceptive Term Loan, and changes in the value of our contingent consideration. Interest income, which is included in ‘Other income, net’ in the statements of operations consists of income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Revenues

We generate revenue by providing laboratory testing of our diagnostic tests and services. Our revenues for the periods indicated were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Year Ended December 31, Change

Revenues

Total revenue increased $10.9 million or 28% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

Diagnostic test revenue increased $10.7 million or 31% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 is due to an increase in our lung diagnostic testing revenue of $15.8 million, driven by an increase in our Nodify XL2 and CDT diagnostic tests delivered. The Company’s lung diagnostic sales efforts continued to gain momentum during the year ended December 31, 2023 as the number of tests delivered reached the highest in Company history for four consecutive quarters. Partially offsetting this increase was a $5.2 million reduction in COVID-19 testing revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting from the expiration of significant COVID-19 testing contracts and the recession of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, on January 30, 2023, the White House issued a Statement of Administration Policy announcing the President’s intention to allow the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319 to expire on May 11, 2023. In connection with the expiration of the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319, the Company no longer provides COVID-19 diagnostic testing services commercially.

Biopharma Services and other revenue increased $0.2 million or 6% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to recovery in testing volumes from clinical studies and services.

Operating Expenses

Direct costs and expenses

Direct costs and expenses related to revenue decreased $1.1 million or 8% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 was driven primarily by the overall decline in COVID-19 testing volume and reductions in inventory obsolescence as the Company began exiting our commercial COVID-19 testing services in the latter half of 2022. This was partially offset by an increase in direct costs and expenses associated with increased lung diagnostic and services testing volume.

Research and development

Research and development expenses decreased $3.1 million or 24% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in cost was due primarily to a decrease in internal expenses associated with compensation and benefit costs as well as clinical trial and other external costs associated with contracted services and laboratory costs.

The following table summarizes our external and internal costs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except percentages):

Year Ended December 31, Change

External expenses:

Clinical trials and associated costs $ 1,663 $ 2,551 $ (888 ) (35 )%

Sales, marketing, general and administrative

Sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million or 10% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was driven primarily by increases in employee compensation and benefits associated with an increase in sales team headcount and variable compensation as well as increases in non-employee costs associated with increased spending on various sales meetings, training, and campaigns during 2023 as compared to 2022. During the year ended December 31,

2022, the Company’s sales efforts continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to surges associated with multiple variants, restricting and delaying the Company's ability to execute our lung diagnostic sales strategy, resulting in lower sales and marketing costs in the first half of 2022.

Non-Operating Expenses

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $1.5 million or 18% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 is primarily related to interest associated with the Perceptive Term Loan Facility of $5.5 million and interest associated with the contingent consideration of $3.9 million. The interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily related to interest associated with the contingent consideration of $3.3 million, Perceptive Term Loan Facility of $0.5 million, the 2021 Term Loan with Silicon Valley Bank of $2.4 million, and securities purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC of $1.8 million in 2022.

Loss on extinguishment of liabilities, net

The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of liabilities of zero and $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. On April 7, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Indi APA in which all parties agreed to restructure the milestone payments. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company evaluated Amendment No. 3 to the Indi APA in accordance with applicable accounting standards under U.S. GAAP which resulted in the extinguishment of the original instrument due to the substantially different terms. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on the extinguishment of $2.9 million. Additionally, as a result of the extinguishment of Promissory Note One and the 2021 Term Loan, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $3.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, associated with the prepayment premium and the write-off of unamortized original issue discount (OID) and debt issuance costs.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

On November 21, 2022, as consideration for the Perceptive Term Loan, the Company issued the Perceptive Warrant, with warrants exercisable into 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued on the funding date of the Tranche A Loan which are equity classified (the Initial Warrants). In addition to the Initial Warrants and to the extent the Company has the ability to exercise its right to borrow the remaining availability under the Perceptive Term Loan, additional warrants will become exercisable into 1,000,000 shares of common stock concurrently with the borrowing of the Tranche B Loan (the Tranche B Warrants), and additional warrants will become exercisable into 1,000,000 shares of common stock concurrently with the borrowing of the Tranche C Loan (the Tranche C Warrants). The Company initially accounted for the Tranche B and C Warrants as liabilities as the Tranche B and C Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.3 million net loss as a change in fair value through the statement of operations due to changes in unobservable inputs. This is a result of changes in the probability of our ability to draw on Tranche B and C loans. On December 15, 2023 (the Tranche B Borrowing Date), the Company exercised its ability to draw the Tranche B loan. In connection with the Tranche B draw, the Company remeasured the Tranche B Warrants through the Tranche B Borrowing Date and recorded the change in fair value through the statement of operations and, subsequently, reclassified the fair value to additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2023, the Tranche C Warrants remain classified as a liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are an emerging growth company and, as such, have yet to generate positive cash flows from operations. We have funded our operations to date principally from net proceeds from the sale of our common stock, the sale of convertible preferred stock, revenue from diagnostic testing and services, and the incurrence of indebtedness as described below.

On March 7, 2022 (the LPC Effective Date), we entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock (the LPC Facility). Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock. Such sales of common stock by us, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at our sole discretion, over the 36-month period commencing on the LPC Effective Date. As consideration for Lincoln Park's irrevocable commitment to purchase our common stock upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, on the LPC Effective Date, we issued 184,275 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee valued at $600,000 for which no consideration was received.

On April 7, 2022, we entered into subscription agreements with a consortium of investors, including three members of our Board of Directors and other existing shareholders of the Company, for the issuance and sale by the Company of an aggregate of 6,508,376 shares of our common stock in an offering for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.7 million.

The Company amended the Indi APA agreement in April 2022 in which all parties agreed to restructure the Milestone Payments whereby the Company will make five quarterly installments of $2.0 million each beginning in April 2022, three quarterly installments of $3.0 million beginning in July 2023, one installment of $5.0 million in April 2024, and one installment of approximately $8.4 million in July

2024. In addition, the Company agreed to an exit fee of approximately $6.1 million in October 2024. Interest shall accrue on the difference between the payment schedule as agreed in the August 2021 amendment and the April 2022 amended payment schedule, at an aggregate per annum rate equal to 10%, with such interest to be payable quarterly on the following installment payment date. Our ability to make these payments is subject to ongoing compliance under the Perceptive Term Loan and commencing January 1, 2024, consent from Perceptive.

On May 9, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which, among other things, Streeterville: (i) purchased Promissory Note One in the aggregate principal amount totaling $16.0 million in exchange for $15.0 million less certain expenses. Promissory Note One could, at the Company's option, be settled in cash or shares of common stock of the Company, upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions. On May 9, 2022, the Company closed on Promissory Note One for gross proceeds of $15.0 million (approximately $12.8 million, net, after deducting debt issuance costs and OID).

On November 21, 2022, the Company funded and/or closed various financing transactions, including: (i) a term loan facility with Perceptive Advisors, LLC (Perceptive) for up to $50.0 million, with funding of $30.0 million on November 21, 2022, and two additional contingently issuable tranches of $10.0 million each subject to certain terms and conditions, including revenue milestones, (ii) a follow-on equity offering of common stock for $40.4 million in gross proceeds and (iii) a subscription agreement for the issuance of common stock to certain members of the Company’s management team for $0.3 million. Collectively, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $70.7 million ($65.7 million after deducting commissions, fees and expenses payable). Approximately $23.9 million of the net proceeds were used to retire Promissory Note One with Streeterville and the 2021 Term Loan with Silicon Valley Bank. The remaining proceeds of approximately $42.0 million were used for commercial expansion of sales, supporting the Company’s product pipeline, research and development and for general corporate purposes.

The Perceptive Term Loan Facility contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants, and conditions that are customarily required for similar financings. The Company must (i) at all times prior to the Maturity Date maintain a minimum cash balance of $2.5 million; and (ii) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, recognize revenue in amounts agreed to between the Company and Perceptive.

On April 7, 2023, the Company entered into a limited waiver under which Perceptive agreed to waive the minimum revenue requirement for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (Limited Waiver). In addition, on May 10, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility (the First Amendment) with Perceptive, whereby subject to the terms and conditions of the First Amendment, the minimum net revenue covenant was modified to reduce the threshold through the twelve month period ended March 31, 2024.

On August 3, 2023, the Company entered into subscription agreements with all of the members of our Board of Directors, all Section 16 officers, and additional members of the Biodesix leadership team for the issuance and sale by the Company of an aggregate of 16,975,298 of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $27.5 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $15.3 million in proceeds and issued 9,454,927 shares of common stock. On September 27, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to delay final closing on one subscription agreement. The remaining $12.2 million in proceeds was received and 7,520,371 shares of common stock were issued during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility (the Second Amendment) with Perceptive, whereby subject to the terms and conditions of the Second Amendment, the minimum net revenue covenant was amended to reduce the relevant threshold as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing on the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025.

Pursuant to the original terms of the agreement with Perceptive, the Perceptive Term Loan Facility includes an additional Tranche B Loan, in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million, which was accessible by the Company so long as the Company satisfied certain customary conditions precedent, including revenue milestones. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, the conditions precedent for drawing on the Tranche B Loan were amended to (i) reduce the trailing-twelve month revenue milestone and (ii) add the receipt of aggregate cash proceeds of at least $27.5 million from an equity offering of the Company's common stock. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company met the conditions precedent associated with the Tranche B Loan and, on December 15, 2023, the Company exercised its ability to draw the Tranche B loan for $10.0 million (the Tranche B Loan).

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company raised approximately $0.6 million ($0.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable), in gross proceeds from the sale of 376,456 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $1.66 under the ATM facility. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had remaining available capacity for share issuances of approximately $28.9 million under the ATM facility and up to $46.9 million under the LPC Facility, each subject to the restrictions and limitations of the underlying facilities, as well as volume limitations under applicable SEC rules and regulations that limit their availability as sources of funding.

As of December 31, 2023, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of $26.3 million and we have $40.0 million in outstanding aggregate principal amount on our Perceptive Term Loan. We have incurred significant losses since inception and, as a result, we have funded our

operations to date primarily through the sale of common stock, the sale of convertible preferred stock, the issuance of notes payable, and from our two primary revenue sources: (i) diagnostic testing, which includes lung diagnostic testing and, prior to May 11, 2023, COVID-19 testing, and (ii) providing biopharmaceutical companies with development and testing services and licensing our technologies. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014-15 (ASC Topic 205-40), Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, the Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management projected its cash flow sources and evaluated the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued. Management considered the Company’s current projections of future cash flows, current financial condition, sources of liquidity and debt obligations for at least one year from the date of issuance of this Form 10-K in considering whether it has the ability to meet its obligations.

Our ability to meet our obligations as they come due may be impacted by our ability to remain compliant with financial covenants in our loan agreement or to obtain waivers or amendments that impact the related covenants. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants associated with its borrowing and entered into a limited waiver on February 14, 2024 to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility (the Limited Waiver). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Limited Waiver, Perceptive agreed to (i) waive compliance with the December 31, 2023 Minimum Net Revenue covenant and (ii) waive the requirement that the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2023 and auditor's opinion on the financial statements herein shall not be subject to any going concern or like qualification or exception audit.

On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility (the Third Amendment), whereby, subject to the terms and conditions of the Third Amendment, the Minimum Net Revenue Covenant (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was amended to reduce the relevant threshold as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing on the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025.

To maintain an adequate amount of available liquidity and execute our current operating plan, we will need to continue to raise additional funds from external sources, such as through the issuance of equity or debt securities and any such financing activities are subject to market conditions. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us or, if available, will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us or on a timely basis. If adequate capital resources are not available on a timely basis, we intend to consider limiting our operations substantially. This limitation of operations could include a hiring freeze, reductions in our workforce, reduction in cash compensation, deferring capital expenditures, and reducing other operating costs.

We expect to continue to incur operating losses in the near term while we make investments to support our anticipated growth. Our current operating plan, which is in part determined based on our most recent historical actual results and trends, along with the items noted above, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period beyond one year from when the December 31, 2023 financial statements are issued. Our audited financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows

The following summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Year Ended December 31,

Net cash flows (used in) provided by:

Our cash flows resulted in a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $16.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the net increase in cash of $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities decreased by approximately $22.1 million primarily due to the $18.3 million in tenant improvement allowances received for capital expenditures and leasehold improvements related to the CVP Lease which have been reimbursed from the CVP landlord (see cash used in investing activities below). Partially offsetting the CVP tenant improvement allowances is $2.5 million of the contingent consideration payment made during the three months ended December 31, 2023 which is now classified as a cash outflow from operating activities due to the applicable US GAAP requirements. Additionally, the Company had favorable changes in working capital that contributed to the changes in net cash used in operating activities compared to the same period in 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, our $5.0 million cash collateralized letter of credit under the operating lease agreement with CVP was released and the funds were subsequently transferred to the landlord as a refundable deposit to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations.

Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 totaled $23.1 million, an increase of $19.5 million compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increases in purchases of property and equipment and capital expenditures for leasehold improvements related to the CVP Lease. These leasehold improvements are tenant improvements and have been reimbursed from the Landlord, as described above in net cash used in operating activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 totaled $29.1 million, a decrease of $29.8 million compared to the same period in 2022. The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily resulted from $28.0 million net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, $10.0 million net proceeds from the issuance of Tranche B under the Perceptive Term Loan Facility, and $0.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the ESPP and exercise of stock options. These proceeds were partially offset by milestone payments to Indi of $8.6 million. The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily resulted from $56.3 million net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, $41.4 million net proceeds from the issuance of Promissory Note One and the Perceptive Term Loan, and $0.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the ESPP and exercise of stock options. These proceeds were partially offset by the repayment of Promissory Note One and the 2021 Term Loan of $28.6 million, and milestone payments to Indi of $10.8 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our non-cancelable contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Payments due by period (1)

Total Less than1 year 1 to 3years 4 to 5years More than5 years

(1)

Royalty payments that we may owe are not included as the amount and timing of such payments is uncertain.

(2)

Includes the Perceptive Term Loan payments of principal and interest. Interest amounts associated with the Perceptive Term Loan are variable and estimated based on the interest rate in effect at December 31, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2023, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain of these estimates significantly influence the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Our critical accounting policies are described in greater detail below and in Note 2 to our financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when our customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for our goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for our arrangements with our customers, we perform a five-step process, which includes: (i) identifying the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) we satisfy our performance obligations. The Company generates

revenues from (i) diagnostic tests and (ii) assay development, testing services, and licensing our technologies (Biopharma Services and other revenue).

The Company recognizes revenues related to blood-based lung diagnostic billings based on estimates of the amounts ultimately expected to be collected from customers on a portfolio approach. In determining the amount to accrue for a delivered test, the Company considers factors such as test type, payment history, payer coverage, whether there is a reimbursement contract between the payer and the Company, payment as a percentage of agreed upon rate (if applicable), amount paid per test and any current developments or changes that could impact reimbursement. Variable consideration, if any, is estimated based on an analysis of historical experience and adjusted as better estimates become available. These estimates require significant judgment by management.

The Company also provides services to patients with whom the Company does not have contracts as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 606 (ASC 606). The Company recognizes revenue for these patients when contracts, as defined in ASC 606, are established at the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled, or when the Company receives substantially all of the consideration subsequent to satisfaction and delivery of the performance obligations.

In addition, other revenue includes amounts derived from licensing our digital sequencing technologies to our international laboratory partners. We are compensated through royalty-based payments for the licensed technology, and depending on the nature of the technology licensing arrangements and considering factors including but not limited to enforceable right to payment and payment terms, and if an asset with alternative use is created, these revenues are recognized in the period when royalty-bearing sales occur.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including the requirement that our internal control over financial reporting be audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), certain requirements related to the disclosure of executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, the requirement that we hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting standards election, we will not be subject to the same implementation timing for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, which may make comparison of our financials to those of other public companies more difficult.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.24 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the date on which we have issued, in any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) until December 31, 2025 (the year ended December 31st following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering).

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which: (i) the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related primarily to our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and our indebtedness, including our outstanding Perceptive Term Loan. As of December 31, 2023, we had $40.0 million outstanding on the Perceptive Term Loan Facility which has an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) forward-looking one-month term SOFR as posted by CME Group Inc. and (b) 3.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 9.0%. Historically, we have not entered into derivative agreements such as interest rate caps and swaps to manage our floating interest rate exposure.

Periodically throughout the year, we have maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. Our cash and cash equivalents are funds held in checking and bank savings accounts, primarily at one U.S. financial institutions. We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We continually monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which we invest.

As of December 31, 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have an estimated $0.4 million impact per year on our financial position and results of operations, based on the current Perceptive Term Loan principal remaining outstanding through maturity.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The financial statements and supplementary data are as set forth in the index to the financial statements on page F-1.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on the criteria established in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), using the 2013 framework. Based on our assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria set forth by COSO.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, there were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None of our directors or officers adopted, modified, or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

Not Applicable.

PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

The information required by this item with respect to directors is incorporated by reference from the information under the captions "Board and Corporate Governance Matters—Proposal One: Election of Directors" and "—Director Independence" contained in our Proxy Statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 in connection with the solicitation of proxies for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the Proxy Statement). Certain information required by this item concerning executive officers is set forth in the Proxy Statement under the caption "Executive Compensation—Compensation of Named Executive Officers" and is incorporated herein by reference.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors

Biodesix, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Biodesix, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and needs to raise additional equity or debt capital to fund its operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ KPMG LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

Biodesix, Inc. (the “Company”, “Biodesix”, “we” “us” and “our”), formerly Elston Technologies, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware in 2005. The Company’s headquarters are in Colorado and the Company performs its blood-based diagnostic tests in its laboratory facilities which are located in Louisville, Colorado and De Soto Kansas. Throughout 2023, the Company leased its headquarters and laboratory facilities in Boulder, Colorado, under a lease agreement that expired in January 2024 and the Company subsequently relocated its corporate headquarters and laboratory facilities to Louisville, Colorado. The Company conducts all of its operations within a single legal entity. Biodesix is a leading diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease. The Company develops diagnostic tests addressing important clinical questions by combining multi-omics through the use of artificial intelligence enabled informatics. We derive our revenue from two sources: (i) providing diagnostic testing services associated with (a) blood-based lung tests and (b) prior to May 11, 2023, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) tests (Diagnostic Tests); and (ii) providing biopharmaceutical companies with services that include diagnostic research, clinical research, development and testing services generally provided outside the clinical setting and governed by individual contracts with third parties as well as development and commercialization of companion diagnostics. We also recognize revenue from other services, including amounts derived from licensing our technologies (Biopharma Services and other). Biodesix offers five Medicare-covered tests for patients with lung diseases which includes our blood-based Nodify Lung® Nodule Risk Assessment testing, consisting of the Nodify XL2® and the Nodify CDT® tests. These tests evaluate the risk of malignancy in incidental pulmonary nodules, enabling physicians to better triage patients to the most appropriate course of action. Additionally, our blood-based IQLungTM testing strategy for lung cancer patients integrates the GeneStrat® ddPCR test, the GeneStrat NGS® test and the VeriStrat® test to support treatment decisions across all stages of lung cancer.

The Company also offered three SARS-CoV-2 tests. The Bio-Rad SARS-CoV-2 ddPCR test, the cPASSTM neutralization antibody test kit, and the Platelia SARS-CoV-2 Total Ab test were granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). On January 30, 2023, the White House issued a Statement of Administration Policy announcing the President’s intention to allow the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319 to expire on May 11, 2023. In connection with the expiration of the Public Health Emergency declaration under Section 319, the Company no longer provides commercial COVID-19 diagnostic testing services.

Blood-Based Lung Tests

The Company offers five blood-based lung cancer tests across the lung cancer continuum of care:

Diagnosis

•

Nodify CDT and NodifyXL2 tests, marketed as Nodify Lung Nodule Risk Assessment testing, assess a suspicious lung nodule's risk of lung cancer to help identify the most appropriate treatment pathway. The Nodify CDT and XL2 tests have an established average turnaround time of one and five business days, respectively, from receipt of the blood sample, providing physicians with timely results to guide diagnostic planning. We believe we are the only company to offer two commercial blood-based tests to help physicians reclassify risk of malignancy in patients with suspicious lung nodules.

Treatment & Monitoring

•

GeneStratddPCR, GeneStrat NGS and VeriStrat tests, marketed as part of our IQLung testing strategy, are used following diagnosis of lung cancer to detect the presence of mutations in the tumor and the state of the patient’s immune system to help guide treatment decisions. The GeneStrat ddPCR tumor genomic profiling test and the VeriStrat immune profiling test have established an average turnaround time of two business days from receipt of the blood sample, and the GeneStrat NGS test has an established average turnaround time of three business days from receipt of the blood sample, providing physicians with timely results to facilitate treatment decisions. The GeneStrat ddPCR test evaluates the presence of actionable mutations in lung cancer. The test is covered independent of stage and can be used multiple times per patient to monitor changes in mutation status. The GeneStrat NGS test is a broad 52 gene panel, including guideline recommended mutations that help identify advanced stage patients eligible for targeted therapy or clinical trial enrollment. The VeriStrat test is a blood-based proteomic test that provides a personalized view of each patient’s immune response to their lung cancer.

In developing the Company's products, the Company has built or gained access to regulatory approvals, product development know-how, unique biorepositories, proprietary and patented technologies, specimen collection kit manufacturing capabilities, and bioinformatics methods that it believes are important to the development of new targeted therapies, determining clinical trial eligibility and guiding treatment selection. The Company’s testing services are made available through its clinical laboratories.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Estimates

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates include: revenue recognition; the estimation of the fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets pursuant to the Company's annual impairment analysis; fair value of stock options; income tax uncertainties, including a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; fair value of warrant liabilities; leases, including the estimated incremental borrowing rates; and contingencies. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and recognized revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2023, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of $26.3 million and we have $40.0 million in outstanding aggregate principal amount on our Perceptive Term Loan Facility (see Note 8 – Debt). We have incurred significant losses since inception and, as a result, we have funded our operations to date primarily through the sale of common stock, the sale of convertible preferred stock, the issuance of notes payable, and from our two primary revenue sources: (i) diagnostic testing, which includes lung diagnostic testing and, prior to May 11, 2023, COVID-19 testing, and (ii) providing biopharmaceutical companies with development and testing services and licensing our technologies. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2014-15 (ASC Topic 205-40), Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, the Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management projected its cash flow sources and evaluated the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued. Management considered the Company’s current projections of future cash flows, current financial condition, sources of liquidity and debt obligations for at least one year from the date of issuance of this Form 10-K in considering whether it has the ability to meet its obligations.

Our ability to meet our obligations as they come due may be impacted by our ability to remain compliant with financial covenants in our Perceptive Term Loan Facility (see Note 8 – Debt) or to obtain waivers or amendments that impact the related covenants. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants associated with its borrowing and entered into a limited waiver on February 14, 2024 to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility (the Limited Waiver). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Limited Waiver, Perceptive agreed to (i) waive compliance with the December 31, 2023 Minimum Net Revenue covenant and (ii) waive the requirement that the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2023 and auditor's opinion on the financial statements herein shall not be subject to any going concern or like qualification or exception audit.

Based on our current operating plan, unless we continue to raise additional capital (debt or equity), we expect that we will be unable to maintain our financial covenants under our existing loan agreement during the next twelve months, which could result in an Event of Default (as defined in the Perceptive Term Loan Facility), causing an acceleration and repayment of the outstanding balances. We have taken steps to improve our liquidity through raising debt and equity capital and have also undertaken several proactive measures including, among other things, the reduction of planned capital expenditures and certain operating expenses but we do not expect that these actions alone will be sufficient to maintain our financial covenants. The Perceptive Term Loan Facility requires the Company to recognize revenue in amounts agreed to between the Company and Perceptive as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, which commenced with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023. On May 10, 2023 (the First Amendment Effective Date), the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the First Amendment), whereby subject to the terms and conditions of the First Amendment, the Minimum Net Revenue Covenant (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was amended to reduce the relevant threshold through the twelve month period ended March 31, 2024. On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility, whereby subject to the terms and conditions of the second amendment, the Minimum Net Revenue Covenant was amended to reduce the relevant threshold through the twelve month period ended December 31, 2025 (see Note 8 – Debt) and raised approximately $27.5 million in net proceeds through a private placement equity offering (see Note 10 – Equity). Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Perceptive Term Loan Facility, whereby, subject to the terms and conditions of the third amendment, the Minimum Net Revenue Covenant was amended to reduce the relevant threshold through the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 (see Note 16 – Subsequent Events).

To maintain an adequate amount of available liquidity and execute our current operating plan, we will need to continue to raise additional funds from external sources, such as through the issuance of equity or debt securities; however, we have not secured such funding at the time of this filing and any such financing activities are subject to market conditions. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making

F-9

capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our existing stockholders’ rights. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us or, if available, will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us or on a timely basis. If adequate capital resources are not available on a timely basis, we intend to consider limiting our operations substantially. This limitation of operations could include a hiring freeze, reductions in our workforce, reduction in cash compensation, deferring capital expenditures, and reducing other operating costs.

We expect to continue to incur operating losses in the near term while we make investments to support our anticipated growth. Our current operating plan, which is in part determined based on our most recent historical actual results and trends, along with the items noted above, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period beyond one year after these financial statements are issued. Our audited financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Segment Reporting

The Company has a single operating segment focused on providing diagnostic testing services to customers. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue and all long-lived assets were derived or located in the United States for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from two primary sources: (i) providing diagnostic testing in the clinical setting (Diagnostic tests); and (ii) providing biopharmaceutical companies with services that include diagnostic research, clinical research, clinical trial testing, development and testing services generally provided outside the clinical setting and governed by individual contracts with third parties as well as development and commercialization of companion diagnostics. We also recognize revenue from other services, including amounts derived from licensing our technologies (Biopharma Services and other revenue).

Diagnostic test revenues consist of blood-based lung tests and are recognized in the amount expected to be received in exchange for diagnostic tests when the diagnostic tests are delivered. The Company determines the transaction price and amount to accrue related to its blood-based lung diagnostic test contracts using a portfolio approach by considering:

•

the nature of the payer and payer coverage;

•

payment history;

•

test type;

•

the historical amount of time until payment by a payer;

•

historical price concessions granted to groups of customers;

•

whether there is a reimbursement contract between the payer and the Company;

•

payment as a percentage of agreed upon rate (if applicable);

•

amount paid per test; and

•

any current developments or changes that could impact reimbursement.

Variable consideration, if any, is estimated based on an analysis of historical experience and adjusted as better estimates become available. These estimates require significant judgment by management.

Biopharma Services revenue consists of various types of tests or other scientific services for a purpose as defined by any individual customer, which are often larger biopharmaceutical companies, as defined by a written agreement between the Company and the customer. These services are generally completed upon the delivery of testing results, or achievement of contractual milestone(s) as defined in the customer agreements. Customers for these services are typically large biopharmaceutical companies where collectability is reasonably assured and therefore revenue is accrued upon completion of the performance obligations. Revenue for these services is recognized upon delivery of the completed test results, or upon completion of the contractual milestone(s).

The Company also provides services to patients with whom the Company does not have contracts as defined Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue for these patients when contracts are established at the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled, or when the Company receives substantially all of the consideration subsequent to satisfaction and delivery of the performance obligations.

F-10

Deferred revenue consists of payments received for research, development, and testing services fees received prior to the completion of performance of these tests and services.

See Note 11 — Revenue and Accounts Receivable Credit Concentration for additional information.

Direct Costs and Expenses

The components of our cost of diagnostic tests and testing services consist of cost of materials, direct labor, including bonuses, benefit and share-based compensation, depreciation of laboratory equipment, rent costs, amortization of leasehold improvements and information technology costs associated with acquiring and processing test samples, including sample accessioning, test performance, quality control analyses, charges to collect and transport samples; curation of test results for physicians; and in some cases, license or royalty fees due to third parties.

Royalties for licensed technology are calculated as a percentage of revenues generated using the associated technology and recorded as expense at the time the related revenue is recognized. One-time royalty payments related to signing of license agreements or other milestones, such as issuance of new patents, are amortized to expense over the expected useful life of the patents. Costs associated with performing tests are expensed as the test is processed regardless of whether and when revenue is recognized with respect to that test.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include external and internal costs incurred to develop our technology, collect clinical samples, and conduct clinical studies to develop and support our products. External costs consist primarily of payments to clinical trial sites, sample acquisition costs and laboratory supplies purchased in connection with the Company’s discovery and preclinical activities, process development and clinical development activities, infrastructure expenses, including allocated facility occupancy and information technology costs. Internal expenses include employee-related costs, including salaries, share-based compensation, and related benefits for employees engaged in research and development functions.

The Company estimates and accrues its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors and consultants in connection with conducting research and development activities. The financial terms of these contracts vary from contract to contract and may result in payments that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company’s estimates depend on the timeliness and accuracy of the data provided by consultants and vendors regarding the status of each activity. The Company periodically evaluates the estimates to determine if adjustments are necessary or appropriate based on information received. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Sales, Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our sales organization, including our direct sales force and sales management, client services, marketing, and reimbursement, as well as business development personnel who are focused on our biopharmaceutical customers. These expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, bonuses, employee benefits, travel, and share-based compensation, as well as marketing and educational activities and allocated overhead expenses.

Sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses also include costs for our marketing and sales organizations, and other functions including finance, legal, human resources, and information technology. These expenses consist principally of salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, travel, share-based compensation, as well as professional services fees such as consulting, audit, tax and legal fees, and general corporate costs and allocated overhead expenses.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Uncertainties

Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with one major financial institution in the United States. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institution with which it holds cash. Periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Several of the components for certain of the Company's sample collection kits, test reagents, and test systems are obtained from single-source suppliers. If these single-source suppliers fail to satisfy the Company's requirements on a timely basis, the Company could suffer delays in being able to deliver its diagnostic solutions, a possible loss of revenue, or incur higher costs, any of which could adversely affect its operating results.

For a discussion of credit risk concentration of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, see Note 11 — Revenue and Accounts Receivable Credit Concentration.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly-liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase.

Restricted cash consists of deposits related to the Company’s corporate credit card. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $0.1 million restricted cash, respectively, which was included in ‘Other current assets’ in the accompanying balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from customers based on their outstanding invoices. Management reviews accounts receivable quarterly to determine if any receivable will potentially be uncollectible and to estimate the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts necessary to reduce accounts receivable to its estimated net realizable value based on historical experience, customer creditworthiness, facts, and circumstances specific to outstanding balances, and payment terms.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of material supplies, which are consumed in the performance of testing services and charged to ‘Direct costs and expenses’. Inventory is stated at cost and reported within ‘Other current assets’ in the balance sheet and was $1.4 million for both years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recorded a reserve for excess inventory of $0.1 million for both years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to the statement of operations for excess and obsolete inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally between three and five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations in the period realized.

Long-lived assets to be held and used are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is less than the undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition over its remaining useful life. The Company assesses recoverability by comparing the sum or projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to its carrying value, and records an impairment loss if the carrying value is greater than the undiscounted future cash flows. There were no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets primarily consist of intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations, external costs associated with patent applications that are probable of future economic benefits, and trademark costs. Finite-lived intangibles are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 10 years, based on management's estimate of the period over which their economic benefits will be realized, product life and patent life. Trademarks are considered indefinite lived and are not amortized.

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a reduction to fair value below their carrying amounts. There were immaterial impairments during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over amounts allocated to acquired assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations. The carrying value of goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually or more frequently when events or circumstances occur indicate a potential for impairment. The annual impairment test is performed on the last day of our fourth quarter. Prior to performing a quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. In the event the Company determines that it is more likely than not the carrying value of our single reporting unit is higher than its estimated fair value, quantitative testing is performed comparing recorded values to estimated fair values. If impairment is present, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the recorded goodwill over its implied fair value. Through December 31, 2023, there were no accumulated impairment losses.

Leases

The Company acts as a lessee under all its lease agreements and holds various real estate leases for its headquarters and laboratory facilities in Colorado and Kansas and other various copier leases.

The Company elected the following practical expedients as part of the adoption of ASC 842, Leases:

•

Package of practical expedients which allows the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification;

•

Hindsight practical expedient which allows the Company to use hindsight in determining the lease term, in assessing purchase options, and in assessing impairment of right-of-use (ROU) assets;

F-12

•

Short-term lease practical expedient which allows the Company to capitalize only those leases with an initial term of twelve months or more; and

•

The practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance, utilities, insurance and taxes) as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets.

Management determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception or upon modification of a contract. Leases are classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statements of operations. When determining whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease, ASC 842 does not specifically define criteria to determine the “major part of remaining economic life of the underlying asset” and “substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.” For lease classification determination, Management continues to use (i) 75% or greater to determine whether the lease term is a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset and (ii) 90% or greater to determine whether the present value of the sum of lease payments is substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses either the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, as applicable, based on the information available at lease commencement date. The Company applies the estimated incremental borrowing rates on a lease-by-lease level based on the economic environment associated with the lease. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments, net of lease incentives. Certain of the Company's leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. As leases approach maturity, the Company considers various factors such as market conditions and the terms of any renewal and termination options that may exist to determine whether we will renew or terminate the lease, as such, we generally do not include renewal or termination options in our lease terms for calculating our lease liability, as the options allow us to maintain operational flexibility and we are not reasonably certain we will exercise these options at the time of the lease commencement. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Lease expense for lease payments of operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company uses the long-lived assets impairment guidance to determine recognition and measurement of an ROU asset impairment, if any. The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment.

Additional information and disclosures required by this standard are contained in Note 9 — Leases.

Other Assets

The Company has a $5.0 million cash refundable deposit to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations associated with the operating lease agreement with Centennial Valley Properties I, LLC (see Note 9 – Leases). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the $5.0 million refundable deposit is reported within 'Other long-term assets' in the balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

U.S. GAAP for fair value establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). We utilize a combination of market and income approaches to value our financial instruments. Our financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy based upon the lowest level of the most significant inputs used to determine fair value.

The three levels of the hierarchy and the related inputs are as follows:

Level Inputs

2 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities;

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other long-term assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

See Note 4 — Fair Value for further discussion related to estimated fair value measurements.

Contingent Consideration

The fair value of contingent consideration is assessed at each balance sheet date and changes, if any, to the fair value are recorded as ‘Interest expense’ in the statements of operations.

F-13

Warrant Liability

The fair value of warrant liabilities is assessed at each balance sheet date and changes, if any, to the fair value are recorded as 'Change in fair value of warrant liability, net' in the statement of operations.

Share‐Based Compensation

Stock Options

The Company grants service condition and performance condition stock options. Stock options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of each employee stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of assumptions, including the expected term of the option, expected volatility of our stock price, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate, among others. We estimate forfeitures and adjust these estimates to actual forfeitures as they occur. These assumptions involve inherent uncertainties including market conditions and employee behavior that are generally outside of the Company’s control. Service condition stock options are expensed based on the grant date fair value of the awards using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. Performance-condition stock options, if granted, vest based on achievement of multiple weighted performance goals, certification of performance achievement by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and continued service. For performance-condition stock options, compensation expense is updated for our expected performance level against performance goals at the end of each reporting period, which involves judgment as to achievement of certain performance metrics.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

The Company grants service-condition RSUs. The grant date fair values of these RSUs are based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. We estimate forfeitures and adjust these estimates to actual forfeitures as they occur. The service-condition RSUs vest based on continued service with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

See Note 12 — Share-Based Compensation for additional information related to share-based compensation.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred income taxes are recognized based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results, or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The recorded valuation allowance is based on significant estimates and judgments and if the facts and circumstances change, the valuation allowance could materially change. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

See Note 14 — Income Taxes for additional information related to income taxes.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consisting of options to purchase common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, RSUs and shares subject to purchase under our employee stock purchase plan were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Note 3 – Recent Issued Accounting Standards

Recently adopted accounting standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC Topic 326). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The Company evaluated the guidance and determined the overall impact of the adoption had an immaterial impact on our financial statements.

F-14

Standards being evaluated

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASC Topic 280). This ASU requires all public entities to provide additional disclosures about the entity's reportable segments and more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses.

The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and assessing the overall impact on its financial statements.

Note 4 - Fair Value

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Our borrowing instruments are recorded at their carrying values in the balance sheets, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair value of borrowings as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is primarily associated with the Perceptive Term Loan Facility entered into with Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP, in November 2022 and was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, excluding the fair value of the Perceptive Warrant (as defined below) issued in conjunction with the transaction. The carrying value of outstanding borrowings approximates the fair value as of December 31, 2023. The difference between the carrying value and fair value of outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2022 is due to the debt issuance costs and the fair value of the Perceptive Warrant netted against the Perceptive Term Loan Facility. The table below presents the carrying and fair values of outstanding borrowings, which are classified as Level 2, as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Contingent consideration

In connection with the acquisition of Indi in 2018, the Company recorded contingent consideration for amounts contingently payable to Indi's selling shareholders pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement (the Indi APA). The contingent consideration arrangement requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to such shareholders upon attainment of a three-consecutive month gross margin target of $2.0 million within the seven-year period after the acquisition date, which was achieved during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Under the terms of the original agreement, when the gross margin target was achieved the Company was required to issue 2,520,108 shares of common stock. For the six months following the achievement of the gross margin target, Indi had the option to require the Company to redeem these common shares for $37.0 million in cash over eight equal quarterly installments. If Indi elected to not exercise its option, the Company had 12 months to repurchase the common stock in two equal and consecutive quarterly cash installments totaling $37.0 million.

In August 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the original agreement in which all parties agreed to forgo the issuance of common stock and agreed that the Company would, in lieu thereof, make six quarterly installments of approximately $4.6 million each beginning in January 2022 and a final payment of approximately $9.3 million in July 2023 for a total of $37.0 million (the Milestone Payments and each individually a Milestone Payment). The aggregate amount of payments owed by the Company under this amendment is the same as if Indi had exercised the put right or the Company had exercised the call right provided for in the original agreement.

On April 7, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Indi APA, in which the parties agreed to restructure the Milestone Payments. The Company made five quarterly installments of $2.0 million each beginning in April 2022, three quarterly installments of $3.0 million which began in July 2023, will make one installment of $5.0 million in April 2024, and will make one installment of approximately $8.4 million in July 2024. In addition, the Company agreed to an exit fee of approximately $6.1 million in October 2024. Interest shall accrue on the difference between the payment schedule as agreed in the August 2021 amendment and the April 2022 amended payment schedule, at an aggregate per annum rate equal to 10%, with such interest to be payable quarterly on the following installment payment date. Our ability to make these payments is subject to ongoing compliance under the Perceptive Term Loan Facility. We obtained consent from Perceptive and subsequently paid the contractual Milestone Payment due January 1, 2024.

The contingent consideration liability is accounted for at fair value and subject to certain unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement of the fair value include the probability of successful achievement of the specified product gross margin targets, the period in which the targets were expected to be achieved, and discount rates which ranged from 11% to 16%. As a result of the achievement of the gross margin target, the only remaining significant unobservable input used in the measurement of fair value includes the discount rate since all other inputs became fixed and determinable. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $3.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in interest expense due to the passage of time and fixed payment schedule.

In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, cash paid to settle the contingent consideration liability recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date (including measurement-period adjustments) should be reflected as a cash outflow for financing activities while the remaining portion of the amount paid should be reflected as a cash outflow from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. A portion of the October 2023 and all 2024 Milestone Payments are classified as cash outflows from operating activities in the Company's statements of cash flows.

Warrant Liabilities

On November 21, 2022, as consideration for the Perceptive Term Loan Facility (see Note 8 – Debt), the Company issued Perceptive a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the Perceptive Warrant), including Initial Warrants and

F-16

Additional Warrants (as defined in Note 10 – Equity below). The Initial Warrants and First Amendment Warrants are equity classified (see Note 10 – Equity) while the Tranche B and C Warrants were initially classified as liabilities within 'Other short-term liabilities' and recognized at fair value. The fair value of the Tranche B and C Warrants is determined using a Black-Scholes model and subject to certain unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement of the fair value include the fair value of the Company's common stock, risk-free rate, the volatility of common stock, and the probability of the expected borrowing. Significant increases or decreases in the unobservable inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.3 million loss as a change in fair value through the statement of operations due to changes in unobservable inputs. This is a result of changes in the probability of our ability to draw on Tranche B and C loans. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $0.1 million as a change in fair value through the statement of operations due to changes in unobservable inputs.

On December 15, 2023 (the Tranche B Borrowing Date), the Company exercised its ability to draw the Tranche B loan (see Note 8 – Debt). In connection with the Tranche B draw, the Company remeasured the Tranche B Warrants through the Tranche B Borrowing Date and recorded the change in fair value through the statement of operations and, subsequently, reclassified the fair value to additional paid-in capital (see Note 10 – Equity).

Note 5 – Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

Construction in process — 2,947

Less accumulated depreciation (5,612 ) (7,018 )
