Overview
Tempus is a technology company focused on healthcare that straddles two converging worlds. We strive to combine deep healthcare expertise, providing next-generation diagnostics across multiple disease areas, with leading technology capabilities, harnessing the power of data and analytics to help personalize medicine. We endeavor to unlock the true power of precision medicine by creating Intelligent Diagnostics through the practical application of artificial intelligence, or AI, in healthcare. Intelligent Diagnostics use AI, including generative AI, to make laboratory tests more accurate, tailored, and personal. Unlike traditional diagnostic labs, we can incorporate unique patient information, such as clinical, molecular, and imaging data, with the goal of making our tests more intelligent and our results more insightful. Unlike other technology companies, we are deeply rooted in clinical care delivery as one of the largest sequencers of cancer patients, and patients with other diseases, in the United States. Straddling both worlds is advantageous as we believe Intelligent Diagnostics represent the future of precision medicine, informing more personalized and data-driven therapy selection and development. We believe their adoption could empower physicians to deliver better care and researchers to develop more precise therapies, with the potential to save millions of lives.
In order to bring AI to healthcare at scale, we believe the foundation of how data flows throughout the ecosystem needs to be rebuilt. We established new data pipes, going to and from providers, to allow for the free exchange of data between physicians, who interpret data, and diagnostic and life science companies, who provide data, integrating relevant clinical data, such as outcomes, or adverse events, which are essential for many clinical decisions. Without this capability, we believe that data would continue to accumulate without impacting patient care. To accomplish this, we built both a technology platform to free healthcare data from silos and an operating system to make this data useful, the combination of which we refer to as our Platform. Our Platform connects multiple stakeholders within the larger healthcare ecosystem, often in real time, to assemble and integrate the data we collect, thereby providing an opportunity for physicians to make data-driven decisions in the clinic and for researchers to discover and develop therapeutics. We aim to help physicians find the best therapies for their patients, help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies make the best drugs possible, and enable patients to access emerging therapies and clinical trials when appropriate.
We currently offer two product lines: Diagnostics and Data and applications. Each product line is designed to enable and enhance the other, thereby creating network effects in each of the markets in which we operate. We are able to commercialize records multiple times, both at the time a test is run and thereafter. Our Diagnostics product line leverages our laboratories to provide next generation sequencing, or NGS diagnostics, polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, profiling, molecular genotyping and other anatomic and molecular pathology testing to healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, researchers, and other third parties. The data generated in our lab or ingested into our platform as part of the Diagnostics product line is structured and de-identified, prior to commercialization. This de-identified database is then commercialized to our pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners to facilitate drug discovery and development through our products, including, among other things, Insights, Trials, Next and Algos. Our Applications product line is focused on developing and providing diagnostics that are algorithmic in nature, implementing new software as a medical device, and building and deploying clinical decision support tools.
We primarily operate in the United States and generated total revenue of $1,271.8 million, $693.4 million and $531.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also incurred net losses of $245.0 million, $705.8 million and $214.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We generated adjusted EBITDA of $(7.4) million, $(104.7) million and $(154.2) million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and for additional information about adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, see "—Non-GAAP Financial Measure."
Acquisition of Ambry Genetics Corporation
On February 3, 2025, or the Closing Date, we completed our acquisition, or the Ambry Acquisition, of Ambry Genetics Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or Ambry, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, entered into on November 4, 2024 with REALM IDx, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or the Seller, and the Seller’s ultimate parent, Konica Minolta, Inc., a Japanese corporation, as guarantor. We acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Ambry. Consideration for the acquisition consisted of $375.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment for cash, unpaid indebtedness, unpaid transaction expenses and net working capital of Ambry, or the Cash Consideration, plus the issuance of an aggregate of 4,843,136 shares of our Class A common stock, or the Stock Consideration. The Stock Consideration was valued at $61.54 per share, which was the closing price of our Class A common stock on the Closing Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, 2,152,505 shares issued as Stock Consideration are subject to a lock-up for a period of one year following the Closing Date. In addition, $5.0 million of the Cash Consideration are held in an escrow account for purposes of satisfying any post-closing purchase price adjustments. The net working capital adjustment was finalized in September 2025, resulting in a decrease to the acquisition price of $3.0 million which was recorded to goodwill.
In connection with the closing of the acquisition, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined below), providing for an additional $200.0 million in senior secured term loans, or the Additional Term Loan Facility, and $100.0 million in priority revolving loan commitments, or the Revolving Credit Facility. We utilized borrowings under the Additional Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the Cash Consideration for the acquisition and to pay fees and expenses related thereto.
Convertible Senior Notes
On July 3, 2025, we completed a private offering, or the Offering, of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, or the Notes, including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase up to an additional $100.0 million principal amount of the Notes. The Notes are our general unsecured obligations and will mature on July 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 0.75% per year from July 3, 2025 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026. Refer to Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the issuance and terms of the Notes and the Capped Call transaction (each as defined below).
Our net proceeds from the Offering were $725.7 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the offering expenses payable by us. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to repay $293.5 million of the Term Loan Facilities (as defined below), which includes repayment of the principal, accrued interest, and prepayment premium and to pay approximately $41.8 million cost of the Capped Call. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies, working capital, operating expenses, capital expenditures and repayment of additional indebtedness.
At the Market Sales Agreement
On August 8, 2025, we entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement, or the Sales Agreement, with Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., TD Securities (USA), LLC and Allen & Company LLC, as sales agents, or collectively, the Sales Agents, pursuant to which we may offer and sell from time to time, at our option, shares of Class A common stock through the Sales Agents, or the ATM. The issuance and sale, if any, of shares of Class A Common Stock under the Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to an automatically effective registration statement on Form S-3 and the related prospectus included therein, or the ATM Prospectus, which was filed with the SEC on August 8, 2025. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, under the ATM Prospectus, we may offer and sell shares of Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million from time to time through the Sales Agents.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold 2,381,895 shares under the ATM at a weighted average price of $83.97 per share for total proceeds of $195.5 million, net of $4.5 million in commissions. In connection with the entry of the Sales Agreement and filing of the ATM prospectus, we incurred $0.9 million of deferred offering costs, of which $0.8 million was reclassified as a reduction of paid-in-capital upon completion of the sales that occurred in 2025. The remaining deferred offering
115
costs, which were incurred in anticipation of future ATM sales, are recorded in Prepaid and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $300.0 million remained available for sale pursuant to the Sales Agreement and ATM Prospectus.
Acquisition of Paige.AI, Inc.
On August 22, 2025, or the Paige Closing Date, we completed our acquisition, or the Paige Acquisition, of Paige.AI, Inc., or Paige, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on August 22, 2025 with Giant Panda Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Paige, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the securityholder representative. Paige is an AI company specializing in digital pathology. The Paige Acquisition is expected to allow us to grow our dataset and establish a strong footprint in digital pathology with an industry leading technology portfolio.
We acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Paige. The aggregate acquisition date fair value of consideration for the Paige Acquisition totaled $101.5 million. Consideration consisted of $3.0 million of cash and the issuance of an aggregate of 1,256,977 shares of our Class A common stock, or the Paige Stock Consideration, which was valued at $80.52 per share, the closing price of our Class A common stock on the Paige Closing Date. A portion of the Paige Stock Consideration was paid to employees as consideration for transaction bonuses. Paige will pay approximately $3.2 million to fulfill employee tax obligations related to the issuance, of which $3.0 million has been paid as of December 31, 2025. The equivalent was withheld from those employees in our Class A common stock and included in treasury stock. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, $6.9 million in equity consideration was held back and is payable within five business days of August 22, 2026. The net working capital adjustment resulted in a decrease to the acquisition price of $1.2 million which was recorded to goodwill.

We have customary registration rights with respect to any shares of Recursion’s Class A common stock issued pursuant to the Recursion Agreement.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe there are several important factors that have impacted and that we expect will impact our operating performance and results of operations. While each of these areas presents 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.
Research and Development and New Products
We expect to maintain high levels of investment in product innovation over the coming years as we continue to develop new laboratory assays, develop algorithms, and expand our Platform into new disease areas. These investments will include laboratory costs incurred in validating new or improving current assays, licensing of data sets to accelerate our efforts in new diseases, and development and validation costs for new Algos products. We invested $172.9 million, $149.3 million and $90.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively, in research and development. Our ability to develop new products, obtain regulatory approvals when required, launch them into the market, and drive adoption of these products by our customers will continue to play a key role in our results.
Customer Acquisition and Expansion
To grow our business requires both identifying new customers and expanding our partnerships with existing ones across each of our product lines. For Diagnostics, this entails our field salesforce developing relationships with individual physicians, genetic counselors and hospital systems, demonstrating the power our Platform has in enabling them to provide personalized care to their patients. For Data and applications, this entails our pharmaceutical business development teams demonstrating the power our Platform and database have in enabling drug discovery, development and clinical trial matching for our pharmaceutical partners and demonstrating the utility of these algorithms in a clinical setting. Since our inception, our offerings have been used by more than 8,500 physicians and we have worked with over 250 biotech companies, as well as 19 of the 20 largest public pharmaceutical companies based on 2024 revenue, albeit with many we are still at an early stage of adoption. Our financial performance relies heavily on our ability to add customers to our Platform and expand the relationships with our current customers through adoption of our new products.
117
Investments in Technology
Technology is at the core of everything we do. From receiving orders and ingesting data through our various provider integrations to delivering test results and access to our analytical platform, our Platform plays a key role in driving our business. We will continue to make significant investments in our Platform to continually improve our user experience and allow us to generate, ingest and structure data more efficiently as we expand our offerings. We invested $146.1 million, $167.5 million and $95.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in technology. We expect to maintain high levels of investment in our technology over the coming years as we continue to develop new features to support our current and future business needs. Our ability to execute on the development of such technology will continue to play a key factor in our results.
Payer Coverage and Reimbursement
Our financial performance relies heavily on our ability to secure reimbursement from payers and government health benefits programs. A substantial majority of the genomic testing we perform is clinical in nature. We typically receive reimbursement for these tests from commercial payers and from government health benefits programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. The amount of payment we receive varies widely and depends on a variety of factors, including the payer, the assay run, and other characteristics about the patient. As of December 31, 2025, we had received payment on approximately 55% of our clinical oncology NGS tests and 50% of our hereditary tests across all payers performed from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024. We calculated this metric on a trailing basis based on payer adjudication timing. However, we continued to perform our NGS tests through December 31, 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, our average reimbursement for NGS tests in oncology (i.e., excluding hereditary testing) was approximately $1,600, $1,510 and $1,450, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our average reimbursement for NGS tests in hereditary testing was approximately $770 and $760, on a pro forma basis, for which pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies. We will continue to invest significantly in various efforts aimed at improving our average reimbursement, including performing clinical studies to generate evidence of clinical utility, seeking regulatory approval for our tests, and opening additional lab locations. Any changes to medical policies impacting how our tests are reimbursed could have a significant impact on our results.
Macroeconomic Conditions
A significant portion of our current Data and applications products sales are to customers in the life sciences industry, in particular the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Demand for our Data and applications products could be affected by factors that adversely affect the life sciences industry, including macroeconomic and market conditions that may adversely impact earlier stage biotechnology companies such as substantial new tariffs and other restrictive trade policies.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We currently primarily derive our revenue from our two product lines: (1) Diagnostics and (2) Data and applications.
Diagnostics
Diagnostics primarily includes revenue from Oncology testing (legacy Tempus) and Hereditary testing (legacy Ambry Genetics). Oncology testing includes revenue from diagnostics, PCR profiling, and other anatomic and molecular pathology testing to oncologists, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, researchers, and other third parties. Hereditary testing includes revenue from inherited cancer risk, whole exome and genome profiling for rare conditions, and all other inherited screening testing primarily to genetic counselors.
Data and applications
Data and applications primarily includes revenue from de-identified data generated through our Diagnostics product line to our pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners for use in their drug development efforts. These transactions consist of data licensing agreements, AI-enabled clinical trial matching, and analytical services. Our Data revenue is typically back-weighted towards the second half of the year based on the budgeting cycles of our customers.
118
Cost and Operating Expenses
We incur costs to generate revenue for each of our two product lines. Cost of revenues for our Diagnostics product line is a higher percentage of the Diagnostics revenue than cost of revenues for Data and applications is as a percentage of Data and applications revenue. As revenue shifts between these product lines, total cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will be impacted.
Cost of Revenues, Diagnostics
Cost of revenues for Diagnostics primarily includes personnel lab expenses, including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expenses (which we refer to as “personnel costs”), and amortization of intangible assets, cost of laboratory supplies and consumables, laboratory rent expense, depreciation of laboratory equipment and shipping costs. Costs associated with performing our tests are recorded as the tests are processed at the time of report delivery. We expect these costs will increase in absolute dollars as our Diagnostics revenue continues to grow.
Cost of Revenues, Data and applications
Cost of revenues for Data and applications primarily includes data acquisition and royalty fees, and personnel costs related to delivery of our data services and platform, cloud costs, and certain allocated overhead expenses. Costs associated with performing data product services are recorded as incurred. We expect these costs will increase in absolute dollars as our Data and applications revenue continues to grow.
Research and Development
Research and development expense primarily includes costs incurred to develop new assays and products, including validation costs, research and development and allocated lab personnel costs, salaries and benefits of the company’s scientific and laboratory research and development teams, amortization of intangible assets, inventory costs, overhead costs, contract services and other related costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We plan to continue to invest in new assay development and expansion into new disease areas. As a result, we expect that research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to support these activities.
Technology Research and Development
Technology research and development expense primarily includes personnel costs incurred related to the research and development of our technology platform and applications and the research and development of new products that we hope to bring to the market. Technology research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We plan to continue to invest in technology personnel to support our Platform and new algorithm development. We expect that technology research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to support these activities.
Selling, General and Administrative
Our selling, general and administrative expense primarily includes personnel costs for our sales, executive, accounting and finance, legal and human resources functions, commissions, and other general corporate expenses, including software and tools, professional services, real estate costs, and travel costs.
We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in absolute 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 absolute dollars, are expected to decrease modestly 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. As the performance-based vesting condition of our RSUs was satisfied in connection with our IPO, we will continue to record stock-based compensation expenses associated with the vesting of RSUs in the quarter in which such vestings occur.
Interest Income
Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.
119
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest from our Second Amended Note, Credit Facilities, and Notes (each as defined below). Interest expense related to our Second Amended Note will continue, but should decrease over time as the principal amount decreases.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
Loss on debt extinguishment consists of the recognition of unamortized original issuance discount, unamortized deferred financing fees, and prepayment premium as a result of the prepayment of the Term Loan Facilities (defined in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources”).
Other Income, Net
Other income, net consists of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, gains and losses on marketable equity securities, income from the Intellectual Property Agreement, or the IP License Agreement, with SB Tempus Corp., or SB Tempus, and any changes in fair value related to our warrant assets and liabilities. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses relate to transactions and asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We expect our foreign currency gains and losses to continue to fluctuate in the future due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We hold shares of common stock of Recursion and Personalis, Inc., or Personalis, which are recorded within marketable equity securities. These shares are marked to market each reporting period. We issued a warrant to our customer AstraZeneca in conjunction with the signing of the MSA in November 2021. The warrant was automatically cancelled and terminated for no consideration as AstraZeneca declined to extend its financial commitment before December 31, 2024. We have a warrant asset related to a November 2023 Commercialization and Reference Laboratory Agreement with Personalis, which was exercised in August 2024. The fair value of the warrant assets and liabilities are measured each reporting period.
Benefit from (provision for) income taxes
Benefit from (provision for) income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes and income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business, as adjusted for non-deductible expenses, and changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Losses from Equity Method Investments
Losses from equity method investments consist of earnings from our joint venture, SB Tempus. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding SB Tempus.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
Revenue
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except percentages)
The increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was due to increased volume and reimbursement of clinical oncology and hereditary tests performed in Diagnostics and increased data deliveries in our Data and applications product line.
Diagnostics
The increase in Diagnostics revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to an increase in the number of Oncology tests and the addition of Hereditary tests through the acquisition of Ambry. Volume of tests increased from approximately 270,800 tests for the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately 801,000 tests for the year ended December 31, 2025, of which 460,500 tests related to Hereditary testing.
Oncology tests increased from approximately 270,800 tests for the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately 340,500 tests for the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, there was an increase in average revenue per Oncology test, which increased from approximately $1,510 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to approximately $1,600 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in average revenue per Oncology test was driven primarily by increased Medicare reimbursement rates. The increase in the number of Oncology tests and average revenue per Oncology test resulted in a $135.9 million increase in Diagnostics revenue.
121
Hereditary tests increased to approximately 460,500 tests for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the acquisition of Ambry in February 2025 and resulted in an increase of $362.7 million in Diagnostics revenue.
Remaining increase of $5.0 million is due to growth in our other product lines within Diagnostics.
Data and applications
The increase in Data and applications revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was driven primarily by $70.9 million from increased demand for our Insights products. Across all Data and applications products, the increase in revenue in the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily attributable to continued growth from within our existing customer base, as well as adoption of our services by new customers that did not purchase services in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Cost and Operating Expenses
Cost of Revenues
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except percentages)

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, we use adjusted EBITDA to facilitate analysis of our financial and business trends and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
124
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) interest income, (ii) interest expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) (benefit from) provision for income taxes, (v) losses from equity method investments, (vi) changes in fair value of our warrant liability, warrant asset, marketable equity securities, contingent consideration liabilities and indemnity-related holdback liabilities, (vii) stock-based compensation expense, (viii) employer payroll tax related to stock-based compensation expense, (ix) acquisition-related expenses, (x) the G-4 Special Payment (as defined in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K), (xi) amortization of deferred other income from our IP License Agreement with SB Tempus, (xii) franchise taxes related to our IPO, (xiii) other tax expense and (xiv) loss on debt extinguishment. We use adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income or loss, its corresponding GAAP measure, as a performance measure to assess our operating performance and operating leverage in our business. The above items are excluded from our adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, or they are not driven by core results of operations, thereby rendering comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for, or superior to, the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are that adjusted EBITDA:
•
does not reflect interest income which increases cash available to us;
•
excludes depreciation and amortization expense, and although these are non-cash expenses, the asset being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, increasing our cash requirements;
•
does not reflect provision for or benefit from income taxes that reduces cash available to us; and
•
excludes change in fair value of warrant liabilities, contingent consideration and warrant asset.
Because of these limitations, we consider, and you should consider, adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss and our other GAAP results. A reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, is provided below. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
125
The following table summarizes our adjusted EBITDA, along with net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for each period presented below:

Fair value changes include gains and losses related to quarterly fair value adjustments of our warrant liability, warrant asset, marketable equity securities, contingent consideration liabilities, and indemnity-related holdback liabilities.
(2)
Acquisition related expenses consist of legal, diligence, accounting, and financing costs, as well as a gain on bargain purchase, incurred for acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and as of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.4 billion.
We expect to incur additional operating losses in the near future and our operating expenses will increase as we continue to invest and develop new offerings, expand our sales organization, and increase our marketing efforts to drive market adoption of our tests. As demand for our tests continues to increase from physicians and biopharmaceutical companies, we anticipate that our capital expenditure requirements could also increase if we require additional laboratory capacity.
We have funded our operations to date principally from the sale of stock, convertible debt, term debt, the Revolving Credit Facility, and sales of our products. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $609.5 million.
Based on our current business plan, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents, marketable equity securities and anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for more than twelve months from the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may raise additional capital to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons. As we grow our revenue, our accounts receivable and inventory balances will increase. Any increase in accounts receivable and inventory may not be completely offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which could result in greater working capital requirements.
126
If our available cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements because of lower demand for our products as a result of lower than currently expected rates of reimbursement from our customers or other risks described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we may seek to sell additional common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities, or exercise of warrants may result in dilution to our stockholders and, in the case of preferred equity securities or convertible debt, those securities could provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our platform technologies or products or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. Additional capital may not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain any required future financing may require us to reduce or eliminate certain existing operations.
Convertible Senior Notes
On July 3, 2025, we completed the Offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030, or the Notes. Our net proceeds from the Offering were $725.7 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and commissions and offering expenses payable by us.
The Notes are general unsecured obligations of ours and will mature on July 15, 2030. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 0.75% per year from July 3, 2025 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders prior to April 15, 2030, upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions:
(1)
During any calendar quarter, commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2025, if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day;
(2)
During the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day;
(3)
If we call the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
(4)
Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
On or after April 15, 2030, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, at our election.
The conversion rate for the Notes will is 11.8778 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $84.19 per share of Class A common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.
On or after July 20, 2028, we may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Notes for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If we redeem less than all the outstanding Notes, at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes), then, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, noteholders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
127
In connection with the pricing of the Notes on June 30, 2025, and in connection with the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional Notes on July 1, 2025, we entered into capped call transactions, or the Capped Call, effective as of July 3, 2025, with one of the initial purchasers and certain other financial institutions. The Capped Call is expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on a cap price initially equal to $111.1950 per share, which is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call. The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $84.19 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 8,908,350 shares of the Company's Class A common stock.
Additionally, we paid approximately $41.8 million cost of the Capped Call from the proceeds of the Offering. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies, working capital, operating expenses, capital expenditures and repayment of additional indebtedness.
Credit Facilities
On September 22, 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement, or the Original Credit Agreement, with Ares Capital Corporation, or Ares, for a senior secured loan, or the Term Loan Facility that matures in September 2027, in an original principal amount of $175.0 million, less original issue discount of $4.4 million and deferred financing fees of $2.6 million. The Original Credit Agreement was amended on April 25, 2023 and October 11, 2023, to, among other things, increase the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility by $85.0 million in the aggregate, less original issue discount of $2.2 million in the aggregate.
On February 3, 2025, we entered into a Third Amendment Agreement, or the Third Amendment Agreement which, among other things, provided for an additional $200.0 million tranche of senior secured term loans, or the Additional Term Loan Facility, and together with the Term Loan Facility, the Term Loans, and $100.0 million in priority revolving loan commitments, or the Revolving Credit Facility, and loans thereunder, the Revolving Loans. We received $194.0 million under the Additional Term Loan Facility, which is the aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million, less original issue discount of $4.0 million and $2.0 million in legal fees paid to third parties, and $97.1 million in revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, which is the aggregate amount of $100.0 million, less original issue discount of $2.0 million and $0.9 million in legal fees paid to third parties, the proceeds of which were used to fund the cash consideration for the Ambry Acquisition and to pay related fees. The Third Amendment Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification. The Additional Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility mature on February 3, 2030.
On June 30, 2025, in conjunction with the Offering, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, or the Fourth Amendment Agreement. The Fourth Amendment Agreement amended the terms of the Credit Agreement to (i) permit the Offering and the related derivative transactions and (ii) provide that the Offering satisfies the junior capital raise requirement set forth in the Credit Agreement. Except as noted above, the material terms of the Credit Agreement were not amended. The Fourth Amendment Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification.
The Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility, or together with the Term Loan Facilities, the Credit Facilities, are subject to quarterly interest payments for Base Rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest rate period for Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, loans.
The Term Loans are subject to quarterly interest payments, which bears interest based on Term SOFR. Additionally, we may make either a paid-in-kind, or PIK, election or a Cash election. Pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement, as amended by the Fourth Amendment Agreement, or the Credit Agreement, through December 31, 2025, interest on the Term Loans accrues at a per annum rate as follows: (i) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in cash, the cash interest rate for Term SOFR borrowings will be Term SOFR plus 7.25%, respectively, and (ii) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in kind, the cash interest rate for Term SOFR borrowings will be Term SOFR plus 5%, respectively, and the PIK interest rate will be 3.25%.
From and after January 1, 2026, interest on the Term Loans accrues at a per annum rate as follows: (i) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in cash, the cash interest rate for Term SOFR borrowings will be Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 6.75% to 7.75%, respectively, and (ii) for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in kind, the cash interest rate for Term SOFR borrowings will be Term SOFR plus a margin of 5%, respectively, and the PIK interest rate will be 3.25%. The applicable margin for any interest period for which we elect to pay interest in cash will be based on a consolidated first lien leverage ratio.
128
Interest on the Revolving Loans accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR plus 3.75% At all times prior to the termination of the Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent that, on any date, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (x) 50.0% of the revolving commitments and (y) $50.0 million, the amount of interest payable on the Revolving Loans shall be equal to the amount of interest that would be payable had the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans equaled the greater of (x) 50.0% of the revolving commitments and (y) $50.0 million, or the Minimum Revolving Interest Amount. A commitment fee will accrue on the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50%; provided, however, that no such fee shall accrue to the extent we are being charged the Minimum Revolving Interest Amount.
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, financial and other covenants, and events of default, including but not limited to, limitations on earnout, milestone, or deferred purchase obligations, dividends on preferred stock and stock repurchases, cash investments, and acquisitions. We are required to maintain a minimum liquidity of at least $25 million and maintain specified amounts of consolidated revenues for the trailing twelve month period ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter. Minimum consolidated revenues shall equal either $1.0 billion for the immediately trailing twelve month period or $1.0 billion on a pro forma basis and for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025, and shall equal $1.1 billion for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The Credit Agreement also contains a maximum first lien leverage from and after the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027. We are in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025.
Through December 31, 2025, we repaid in full the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility for $276.9 million, leaving only the Additional Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility as outstanding.
Convertible Promissory Note
On February 22, 2025, we amended our convertible promissory note, or the Second Amended Note, with Google LLC, or Google, originally entered into on June 22, 2020, or the Initial Note, and subsequently amended on November 19, 2020, or the Amended Note. The amendment extended the maturity date of the Second Amended Note from March 22, 2026 to December 31, 2030. In addition, the amendment provides us the option upon maturity to repay up to 50% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance, or the Outstanding Amount, in shares of our Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Outstanding Amount on the maturity date, by (2) the average of the last trading price on each trading day during the twenty day period ending immediately prior to the maturity date.
The principal balance of the Second Amended Note was reset to $238.8 million, which is the total of the then-outstanding principal and accrued interest. Consistent with the terms of the Amended Note, the Second Amended Note bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum, compounded annually. The principal amount is automatically reduced each year based on a formula taking into account the aggregate value of the Google Cloud Platform services used by us. We account for the principal reductions as an offset to its cloud and compute spend within selling, general and administrative in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Outstanding Amount under the Second Amended Note is due and payable on the earlier of (1) December 31, 2030, which is the maturity date of the Amended Note, (2) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, and (3) upon the occurrence of an acceleration event, which includes any termination by us of ours Google Cloud Platform agreement. We generally may not prepay the Outstanding Amount, except that we may, at our option, prepay the Outstanding Amount in an amount such that the principal amount remaining outstanding after such repayment is $150.0 million.

In connection with the entry of the Sales Agreement and filing of the ATM Prospectus, we incurred $0.9 million of deferred offering costs, of which $0.8 million was reclassified as a reduction of paid-in-capital upon completion of the sales that occurred in 2025. The remaining deferred offering costs, which were incurred in anticipation of future ATM sales, are recorded in Prepaid and other assets on the consolidated
129
balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $300.0 million remained available for sale pursuant to the Sales Agreement and ATM Prospectus.

Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $884.1 million, which was the result of net proceeds from the Notes of $726.5 million, net proceeds from the Additional Term Loan Facility of $196.0 million, net proceeds from the ATM of $195.5 million, and net proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility of $98.0 million, offset by $276.9 million of principal payments on the Term Loan Facility, $41.8 million of purchases of the Capped Call, and $7.8 million of prepayment premium on the Term Loan Facility.
130
Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $494.3 million, which was the result of proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with our IPO, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $382.0 million, and the issuance of Series G-5 Preferred Stock of $199.8 million, offset by $8.8 million of payments of deferred offering costs, $5.6 million of dividend payments, and $69.9 million of taxes paid related to the net settlement of a portion of the RSUs outstanding as of June 1, 2024 for which the service-based vesting condition was satisfied before June 14, 2024 and for which the performance-based vesting condition was satisfied in connection with the IPO, or the RSU Net Settlement.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our contractual commitments will have an impact on our future liquidity. These commitments include future payments on non-cancellable leases, purchase obligations related to data licenses and cloud computing services, and future payments on our convertible promissory note. Where applicable, we calculate our obligation based on termination fees that can be paid to exit the contract. The data license agreements include committed payments for access to certain data and additional payments contingent on the commercialization of such data. See Note 7, Note 8, and Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for our contractual commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the period presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Our preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We derive Diagnostics revenue from selling lab services to physicians, academic research institutions, and other parties. We also derive Data and applications revenue from the commercialization of data generated in the lab through the licensing of de-identified datasets to third parties and from matching patients to clinical trials enrolled in its clinical trial network and related services. The majority of our revenue is generated in North America.
We account for our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. We commence revenue recognition when control of these products is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products. This principle is achieved by applying the following five-step approach: (i) we account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, (ii) the rights of the parties are identified, (iii) payment terms are identified, (iv) the contract has commercial substance and (v) collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue and any contract assets are not recognized until such time that the required conditions are met.
Diagnostics
For direct bill orders billed to research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, or other third parties, we determine the transaction prices based on established contractual rates with the customer, net of any applicable discounts. Payment is typically due between 30 and 60 days following the date of invoice.
131
For clinical orders billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, we determine the transaction price by reducing the standard charge by the estimated effects of any variable consideration, such as contractual allowance and implicit price concessions. We estimate variable consideration using the expected value method which is based on historical collections in relation to established rates, as well as known current or anticipated reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data. We use significant judgment when assessing whether estimates of variable consideration are constrained and these estimates are calculated based upon both insurance payor-specific and aggregated factors that include historical billing and adjustment data. Estimates are inclusive of the consideration to which we will be entitled at an amount for which it is probable that a reversal of cumulative consideration will not occur. We monitor the estimated amount to be collected at each reporting period based on actual cash collections in order to assess whether a revision to the estimate is required. Payment is typically due after the claim has been processed by the payor, generally 30-120 days from date of service. While management believes that the estimates are accurate, actual results could differ, and the potential impact on the financial statements could be significant.
Business Combinations
In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, we use the acquisition method of accounting to allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Assigning fair market values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of an acquisition often requires the application of judgment regarding estimates and assumptions. These estimates include, but are not limited to, a market participant’s expectation of future cash flows from acquired customer relationships, acquired trade names, and acquired developed technology. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize stock-based compensation for equity awards with only a service condition on the grant-date fair value on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period for the award, which is generally the vesting period. We recognize stock-based compensation for equity awards with a market or performance condition using an accelerated attribution model over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. For those awards with a market condition, we utilize a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the restricted stock units. The Monte Carlo simulation model requires the input of estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the expected stock price volatility, the life of the award and the risk-free interest rate. The probability of actual shares expected to be earned is considered in the grant date fair value. As a result, the expense is not adjusted to reflect the actual shares earned. For those awards with a performance condition, we recognize stock-based compensation if it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied and will reflect the number of awards that ultimately vest. At each reporting period, we reassess the probability of achievement of the performance condition and any change in expense resulting from an adjustment to estimates is treated as a cumulative catch-up in the period of the adjustment.
Common Stock Valuations
Prior to our IPO, our common stock was not publicly traded. As such, we were required to estimate the fair value of our common stock. Our board of directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock as awards were approved, including utilizing third-party valuations to assist with the determination of the estimated fair-market value and common stock price. Given the absence of a public trading market for our common stock, the valuations of common stock were determined in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, and our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered numerous and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of fair value of our common stock.
In valuing our common stock, management determined the equity value of our business using various valuation methods including combinations of income and market approaches. The income approach estimates value based on the expectation of future cash flows that a company will generate. These future cash flows were discounted to their present values using a discount rate derived from an analysis of the cost of capital of comparable publicly traded companies in our industry or similar business operations as of each valuation date and adjusted to reflect the risks inherent in our cash flows.
For each valuation, the equity value determined by the income and market approaches was then allocated to the common stock. We performed this allocation using either the option pricing method, or OPM, which treats the securities comprising our capital structure as call options with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences of our various series of preferred stock and the exercise prices of our options and warrants or a probability-weighted expected return method, or PWERM, which involves the estimation of multiple future potential outcomes, and estimates of the probability of each potential outcome. The per
132
share value of our common stock is ultimately based upon probability-weighted per share values resulting from the various future scenarios, which include an initial public offering, merger or sale or continued operation as a private company.
Application of these approaches involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses, and future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies, and the probability of possible future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between those assumptions affect our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of our common stock.
For valuations after the completion of our IPO, management will determine the fair value of each share of underlying common stock based on the closing price of our common stock as reported on the date of grant. Future expense amounts for any particular period could be affected by changes in our assumptions or market conditions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See the section titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
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. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and inflation risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related primarily to our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and our indebtedness. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $609.5 million held primarily in cash deposits and money market funds. As of December 31, 2025, we had $306.0 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility, which are subject to quarterly interest payments. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates under our Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.
Foreign Currency Risk
The majority of our revenue is generated in the United States. Through December 31, 2025, we have generated an insignificant amount of revenues denominated in foreign currencies. As we expand our presence in the international market, our results of operations and cash flows are expected to increasingly be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to these related changes. As of December 31, 2025 the effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to manage our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.
Inflation Risk
We are also exposed to inflation risk and inflationary factors, such as increases in raw material and overhead costs, which could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Tempus AI, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tempus AI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock and stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Ambry Genetics Corporation (Ambry) and Paige.AI, Inc. (Paige) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2025. We have also excluded Ambry and Paige from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Ambry and Paige are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting collectively represent approximately 11% and 29%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
135
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Diagnostics Revenue – Variable Consideration for Clinical Orders
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized Diagnostics revenue of $955.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, of which $884.5 million relates to clinical orders. The Company generally recognizes revenue for its Diagnostics product offering when it has met its performance obligation relating to an order. Management has determined its sole performance obligation to be the delivery of the testing results to the ordering party. For clinical orders from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, management determines transaction price by reducing the standard charge by the estimated effects of any variable consideration, such as contractual allowance and implicit price concessions. Management estimates variable consideration using the expected value method which is based on historical collections in relation to established rates, as well as known current or anticipated reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data. Management uses significant judgment when assessing whether estimates of variable consideration are constrained and these estimates are calculated based upon both insurance payor-specific and aggregated factors that include historical billing and adjustment data.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the Diagnostics revenue variable consideration for clinical orders is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the estimate of variable consideration for clinical orders and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumption related to the anticipated reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Diagnostics revenue recognition process, including controls over management’s estimation of variable consideration for clinical orders. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management and (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of management’s estimate by (a) developing an independent estimate of variable consideration for clinical orders by utilizing revenue and historical reimbursement data and (b) comparing the independent estimate to management’s estimate.
Acquisition of Ambry – Valuation of Customer Relationships and Developed Technology – Biotech
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on February 3, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Ambry for total consideration of $692.3 million. Of the acquired intangibles, $234.0 million of customer relationships and $114.0 million of developed technology – biotech were recorded. The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of customer relationships included forecasted revenue and expenses, customer attrition, contributory asset charges, and discount rate. The fair value of developed technology – biotech was estimated using the relief from royalty method. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of developed technology – biotech included forecasted revenue, royalty rate, discount rate, and assumed obsolescence rates.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of customer relationships and developed technology – biotech acquired in the acquisition of Ambry is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships and developed technology – biotech
136
acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to forecasted revenue and expenses, customer attrition, contributory asset charges, and discount rate for customer relationships and forecasted revenue, royalty rate, discount rate, and assumed obsolescence rates for developed technology – biotech; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships and developed technology – biotech acquired. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships and developed technology – biotech acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methods used by management; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methods; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to forecasted revenue and expenses, customer attrition, contributory asset charges, and discount rate for customer relationships and forecasted revenue, royalty rate, discount rate, and assumed obsolescence rates for developed technology – biotech. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to forecasted revenue and expenses and customer attrition for customer relationships and forecasted revenue and royalty rate for developed technology – biotech involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the Ambry business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings and relief from royalty methods and (ii) the reasonableness of the contributory asset charges and discount rate assumptions for the customer relationships and the royalty rate, discount rate, and assumed obsolescence rates assumptions for the developed technology – biotech.

Tempus AI, Inc., together with the subsidiaries through which it conducts business (the “Company” or "Tempus"), is a healthcare technology company focused on bringing artificial intelligence and machine learning to healthcare in order to improve the care of patients across multiple diseases. The Company combines the results of laboratory tests with other multimodal datasets to improve patient care by supporting all parties in the healthcare ecosystem, including physicians, researchers, payers, and pharmaceutical companies. The Company primarily derives revenue from selling comprehensive genetic testing to physicians and large academic research institutions, licensing data to third parties, matching patients to clinical trials, and related services.
The Company, based in Chicago, Illinois, was founded by Eric P. Lefkofsky, the Company’s CEO and Executive Chairman, and evolved from a business Mr. Lefkofsky founded called Bioin. Bioin originally was established as a limited liability company. Effective September 21, 2015, Bioin converted its legal form to a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Bioin subsequently changed its legal name to Tempus Health, Inc. in September 2015, to Tempus Labs, Inc. in October 2016 and to Tempus AI, Inc. in December 2023. Effective August 7, 2025, the Company reincorporated, by conversion, from a Delaware corporation to a Nevada corporation.
Segment Information
The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial information for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. The Company’s CODM evaluates financial information on a consolidated basis.
The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net loss that is reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The CODM uses consolidated net loss to evaluate income generated from segment assets. Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results.
Outside of the expenses reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, the CODM regularly reviews personnel costs and cloud costs within selling, general, and administrative expenses, which the Company has identified as significant segment expenses.
The following summarizes the significant segment expenses reconciled to total selling, general and administrative expenses shown on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Other selling, general, and administrative expenses include facilities, professional fees, marketing, travel and entertainment, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation (see Note 11).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tempus AI, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of all wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.
146
The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable equity securities at December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to allow the Company to fund its current operating plan through at least a period of one year from the date of issuance. As the Company continues to incur losses, its transition to profitability is dependent upon a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending on research and development activities and growth related expenditures.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates are related to revenue, accounts receivable, stock-based compensation, operating lease liabilities, and the useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, and the cash flows used in determining the fair value of acquired intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash primarily represents amounts that the Company is unable to access for operational purposes pursuant to letters of credit with a financial institution in connection with certain of the Company's operating leases. The Company had $4.7 million and $0.9 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable primarily represents the net cash due from the Company’s customers, including payors, pharmaceutical companies, genetic counselors, and research institutions. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the remittance advice. Accounts receivables are reported at their gross outstanding balance reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the age of an invoice, historical payment trends, as well as forward looking data and current economic trends.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances that may exceed the insured limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash.
The Company has credit risk regarding trade accounts receivable as the Company generally does not require collateral, and a limited number of customers have accounted for a large part of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivable to date. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses.
There were no customers that represented a significant portion of the Company's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No single customer represents a material portion of the Company's accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of supplies and consumables used in the lab, are accounted for using the first-in, first-out method of accounting and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company periodically reviews inventory for excess or obsolescence and writes-down obsolete or otherwise un-usable inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Amounts written-down due to obsolete inventory are charged to cost of revenues. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $49.9 million of inventory and $1.7 million of inventory in process in the labs. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $36.9 million of inventory and $1.5 million of inventory in process in the labs.
The Company relies on a sole supplier for certain laboratory materials, equipment and services. Purchases from this supplier accounted for approximately 33%, 39% and 33% of total vendor payments for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amounts due to this vendor approximated $15.9 million and $18.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
147
Prepaid expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid assets are recorded when paid and consistent primarily of prepayments for insurance, medical, software subscriptions, and cloud storage service. Prepaid expenses are amortized into expense over the related service period. Other current assets included in this line are primarily related to capitalized implementation costs, the short-term portion of the Company’s contract asset related to Personalis and other receivables.
Marketable Equity Securities
The Company holds marketable equity securities, all of which are publicly traded shares of common stock, which have quoted prices in active markets and are classified as short-term. The Company’s investment in marketable equity securities does not give the Company the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the investee. See Note 15, "Fair Value Measurements and Marketable Equity Securities" for further information.Changes in fair value are recorded in earnings within Other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Long-Lived Assets
Property and Equipment and Intangibles
Property and equipment are stated at cost and assets under finance leases are stated at the lesser of the present value of minimum lease payments or their fair market value. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Generally, the useful lives are three years for equipment, seven years for furniture and fixtures and 30-40 years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Intangibles, other than indefinite-lived intangibles, are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the pattern of usage, over their economic life, generally five to seven years. Assets to be disposed of, if any, are separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. See Note 4, “Balance Sheet Components” for additional information about these assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including property and equipment, and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Any loss would be recognized in loss from operations in the period in which the determination is made. The Company recognized an impairment charge related to long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2023. See Note 5, “Goodwill and Intangibles” for additional information. There were no impairment charges recognized related to long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. The Company conducts a test for the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual basis as of October 1st or sooner if indicators of impairment arise. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. As part of the qualitative assessment, the Company evaluates factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and overall financial performance of its single reporting unit.
If the Company concludes that it is more-likely-than-not that its single reporting unit is impaired or if the Company elects not to perform the optional qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed. For the quantitative assessment, the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is compared with the carrying amount of net assets, including goodwill, related to the reporting unit. The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company recorded no impairment loss during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Equity Method Investments
The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee's operating and financial policies. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures, which prescribes the use of the equity method for investments in joint ventures where the
148
Company has significant influence. The Company records the initial investment at cost and is subsequently adjusted by the Company's share, based on percentage ownership, of the investee's net income or loss after the date of investment. For the Company's foreign-based equity method investment, the proportionate share of the investee's income is translated into USD at the average exchange rate for the period and the investment is translated using the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period. The unrealized gains and losses associated with the foreign currency translation of the investment are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or (iii) the entity is established with non-substantive voting rights (i.e., the entity deprives the majority economic interest holder(s) of voting rights). Under ASC 810, Consolidation, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements would be considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and required to consolidate the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both:
•
the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
•
the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
If the Company is not the primary beneficiary in a VIE, it accounts for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE in accordance with applicable GAAP. Periodically, the Company assesses whether any changes in its interest or relationship with the entity affects its determination of whether the entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it is the primary beneficiary.
Term Loan
The Company’s outstanding term loan (see Note 12) is accounted for in accordance with ASC 470. The original issue discount and deferred financing fees are amortized into Interest expense within the consolidated statements of operations using the straight-line method over the term of the underlying debt, and unamortized amounts are presented net of the principal balance within Long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company’s outstanding priority revolving loan commitments (see Note 12) is accounted for in accordance with ASC 470. The original issue discount and deferred financing fees are amortized into Interest expense within the consolidated statements of operations using the straight-line method over the term of the underlying revolving loan commitment, and the outstanding balance is presented within Revolving credit facility in the consolidated balance sheets.
Convertible Senior Notes
The Company's outstanding convertible senior notes (see Note 12) is accounted for in accordance with ASC 470. The Company determined the embedded conversion options, redemption features, and contingent interest and payments are not required to be separately accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 because they were either determined to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument or the Company has concluded that no value would be associated with the related feature based on the circumstances associated with the Note's issuance. The initial purchasers' discount and deferred financing fees are amortized into Interest expense within the consolidated statements of operations using the straight-line method over the term of the underlying debt, and unamortized amounts are presented net of the principal balance within Convertible senior notes in the consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the Notes, the Company entered into the Capped Call, or the Capped Call, with one of the initial purchasers and certain other financial institutions. The Capped Call is expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on a cap price initially equal to $111.1950 per share, which is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call. The equity-classified Capped Call is not remeasured each reporting period and are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within shareholders’ equity when purchased.
149
Convertible Note
The Company’s outstanding promissory note (see Note 12) is accounted for in accordance with ASC 470. The Company determined the embedded conversion options, redemption features, and acceleration of repayment upon default are not required to be separately accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 because they were either determined to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument or the Company has concluded that no value would be associated with the related feature based on the circumstances associated with the note's issuance.
Business Combinations
In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, we use the acquisition method of accounting to allocate the purchase price of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Assigning fair market values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of an acquisition often requires the application of judgment regarding estimates and assumptions. These estimates include, but are not limited to, a market participant’s expectation of future cash flows from acquired customer relationships, acquired trade names, and acquired developed technology. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception, and all significant lease arrangements are recognized at lease commencement. The majority of the Company’s leases are operating leases and are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, less current portion on the consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement based on the present value of fixed payments not yet paid over the remaining lease term discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received and deferred rent. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate used is estimated based on what the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis over a similar term as the lease.
The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. The Company elected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components for the Company’s facility leases. Variable lease payments are presented as rent expense in the period in which they are incurred and consist primarily of our proportionate share of operating expenses, utilities, property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other facility-related expenses. The Company also elected to apply the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption in which ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases with terms of twelve months or less, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease. The Company records rent expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and records variable lease payments as incurred. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which the Company includes in calculating the operating lease liabilities if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s lease liabilities did not include any options to extend or terminate any of its leases.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue from selling lab services (“Diagnostics”) to physicians, genetic counselors, academic research institutions, and other parties. The Company also derives revenue from the commercialization of data generated in the lab (“Data and applications”) through the licensing of de-identified datasets to third parties and by providing clinical trial support, such as matching patients to clinical trials enrolled in its clinical trial network, and related services. The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated in North America.
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company commences revenue recognition when control of these products is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products. This principle is achieved by applying the five-step approach: (i) the Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, (ii) the rights of the parties are identified, (iii) payment
150
terms are identified, (iv) the contract has commercial substance and (v) collectability of consideration is probable. Revenues and any contract assets are not recognized until such time that the required conditions are met.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on Diagnostics and Data and applications on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, as it believes these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Diagnostics
The Company generally recognizes revenue for its Diagnostics product offering when it has met its performance obligation relating to an order. The Company has determined its sole performance obligation to be the delivery of the testing results to the ordering party. The Company receives payments from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance for clinical orders and directly from research institutions, pharmaceutical companies or other third parties for direct bill orders.
For clinical orders from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, the Company determines transaction price by reducing the standard charge by the estimated effects of any variable consideration, such as contractual allowance and implicit price concessions. The Company estimates the variable consideration using the expected value method which is based on historical collections in relation to established rates, as well as known current or anticipated reimbursement trends not reflected in the historical data. The Company uses significant judgment when assessing whether estimates of variable consideration are constrained and these estimates are calculated based upon both insurance payor-specific and aggregated factors that include historical billing and adjustment data. Estimates are inclusive of the consideration to which the Company will be entitled at an amount for which it is probable that a reversal of cumulative consideration will not occur.The Company monitors the estimated amount to be collected at each reporting period based on actual cash collections in order to assess whether a revision to the estimate is required. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $12.2 million from cash collections in excess of revenue recognized in prior years, primarily as a result of achieving a higher success rate on appeals than estimated. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount recognized from cash collections in excess of revenue recognized in prior years was not material. Payment is typically due after the claim has been processed by the payer, generally 30-120 days from date of service. While management believes that the estimates are accurate, actual results could differ and the potential impact on the financial statements could be significant. The Company recognized revenue for clinical orders of $884.5 million, $409.4 million and $328.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For direct bill orders from research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, or other third parties, the Company determines the transaction prices based on established contractual rates with the customer, net of any applicable discounts. Payment is typically due between 30 and 60 days following the date of invoice. The Company recognized Diagnostics revenue for direct bill orders of $70.9 million, $42.3 million and $34.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Data and applications
Data and applications revenue primarily represents data licensing and clinical trial services that the Company provides to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The Company’s arrangements with these customers often have terms that span multiple years. However, these contracts generally also include customer opt-in or early termination clauses after twelve months without contractual penalty. The customer’s option to renew is generally not viewed as a material right, and as a result, the Company’s contract period for these agreements is generally considered less than one year. The Company determines the transaction price based on established contractual rates with the customer, net of any applicable discounts. The Company recognizes revenue for its Data and applications product offering when it has met its performance obligation under the terms of the agreement with the customer. The Company’s product offerings are as follows:
Insights
The Company’s Insights product consists primarily of licensing and analysis of de-identified records. Each Insights contract is unique and may include multiple promises, including the delivery of licensed de-identified records, including refreshes, analytical services or access to the Company’s enhanced Lens application. The Company evaluates each contract to determine which performance obligations are capable of being distinct and separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, represent distinct performance obligations. The actual timing of data deliveries can be based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the customer’s requirement and/or the Company’s technological, operational,
151
and human capital capacity; in addition, management assesses relevant contractual terms in contracts with customers and applies significant judgment in identifying and accounting for all terms and conditions in certain contracts. The transaction price is allocated to the distinct performance obligations and revenue is recognized once the performance obligation has been fulfilled. The standalone selling prices are based on the Company’s normal pricing practices when sold separately with consideration of market conditions and other factors, including customer demographics.
The Company has determined that the delivery of de-identified records and, when applicable, analytical services, and access to its enhanced Lens application are separate and distinct performance obligations. The primary Insights contract types are as follows:
•
Data licensing on a one-time or limited duration basis – Customer licenses a specific dataset of records, and the Company accounts for individual licensed data records as a right to use license. Revenue is typically recognized upon delivery of the data to the customer, as the Company’s obligations for an individual record is complete once the data has been delivered, and the customer is able to benefit from the provision of data as it is received.
•
Multi-year data subscriptions – Customer licenses an interchangeable maximum number of de-identified records, and the Company accounts for the service as a right to access license and one performance obligation. Revenue is recognized as access to the dataset is provided, ratably over-time, with the measure of progress time-based.
•
Analytical services and other services – Services typically involve data analysis and research performed on behalf of the customer by the Company. The resulting delivery of data, or a report addressing a series of questions and analytical results, is considered a single performance obligation. Revenue is generally recognized upon the delivery of these services, as defined by the contract.
•
Enhanced Lens application subscription services – Customer licenses access to the Company’s enhanced Lens application under a software-as-a-service model. Customers do not have the right to take possession of the Lens platform application, and the online software product is fully functional once a customer has access. Lens subscription revenues are recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date the Company’s service is made available to the customer. For the periods presented, revenue from Lens subscription services are not material.
•
Cloud hosting services – The Company provides cloud hosting services to customers via a third party cloud infrastructure provider. Revenue is recognized as the related compute and storage costs are incurred by the customer.
The Company recognized revenue from Insights products of $257.7 million, $186.8 million and $117.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Trials
The Company’s Trials product includes TIME clinical trial matching services and other clinical trial services.
TIME consists primarily of matching patients to clinical trial sponsors of a potential match. To the extent the contract requires, the Company may also assist in opening the clinical trial site and enrolling the patient in the clinical trial. The Company has determined that, depending on the type of agreement, the performance obligation of these contracts is the delivery of a notification or the enrollment of a patient in a clinical trial. As such, revenue is recognized upon one of the following: delivery of a notification to the physician alerting them to a clinical trial match, or once a patient is enrolled in a trial. Concurrently, the customer, which is the clinical trial sponsor, also receives notification from the Company to establish the performance obligations delivered or fulfilled for the billing period.
In addition to TIME, the Company provides other clinical trial services conducting or supporting studies. Tempus Compass LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, is a contract research organization, or CRO, which manages and executes early and late-stage clinical trials, primarily in oncology. Contracts for clinical trial services can take the form of fee-for-service or fixed-price contracts. Fee-for-service contracts are typically priced based on time and materials, and revenue is recognized based on hours and materials used as the services are provided. Fixed-price contracts generally represent a single performance obligation and are recognized over-time using a cost-based input method. Progress on the performance obligation is measured by the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract. This cost-based method of revenue recognition requires the Company to make estimates of costs to complete its projects on an ongoing basis. Contract costs principally include direct labor and reimbursable out-of-pocket costs.
The Company recognized revenue from Trials products of $38.5 million, $42.4 million and $45.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
152
Next
The Company's Next product is an AI platform that leverages machine learning to apply an "intelligent layer" onto routinely generated data to proactively identify and minimize care gaps for oncology and cardiology patients. The Company evaluates each contract to determine which performance obligations are capable of being distinct and separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, represent distinct performance obligations. Fixed-price subscriptions generally represent a single performance obligation and are recognized over-time. Revenue can also be recognized upon delivery of reports or certain milestones as defined by the contract.
The Company recognized revenue from Next of $20.1 million, $12.3 million and $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For Insights, Trials and Next arrangements, pricing is fixed and the Company may be compensated through a combination of an upfront payment and performance-based, non-refundable payments due upon completion of the stated performance obligation(s). Payment is generally due 60 to 90 days after the date of service. The Company has no significant obligations for refunds, warranties, or similar obligations for Data and applications product offerings. The Company has elected the practical expedient, which allows the Company to not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts with original terms of twelve months or less. Cancelable contracted revenue is not considered a remaining performance obligation.
Multi-year Contract Performance Obligations
The Company has limited multi-year contracts that do not contain early termination or customer opt-in clauses. These contracts contained defined, noncancelable performance obligations that will be fulfilled in future years. The Company’s remaining performance obligations related to multi-year contracts was $348.1 million as of December 31, 2025, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 52% as revenue over the next year, and the remaining 37% and 11% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue in years two and three, respectively.
Contract Assets
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Certain performance obligations may require payment before delivery of the service to the customer. The Company recognizes contract assets when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, and when revenues earned on a contract exceeds the billings. Contract assets are presented under accounts receivable, net. Accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 included contract assets of $8.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, and in conjunction with the signing of a November 2021 Master Services Agreement (“the MSA”) with customer AstraZeneca AB (“AstraZeneca”), the Company recognized a contract asset for consideration payable concurrent with the issuance of the common stock warrant in accordance with ASC 606. The contract asset was initially measured equal to the initial fair value of the warrant liability based on the authoritative guidance under FASB ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. As revenue is recognized over the period of the contractual commitment of the MSA, the associated contract asset amortization is recorded as reduction of revenue. At each reporting period, the short-term portion of the warrant asset is adjusted based on the financial commitment. The warrant was terminated for no consideration on December 31, 2024. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognized $16.3 million in Data and applications revenue to reverse historical warrant contract asset amortization in the year ended December 31, 2024, of which $11.5 million was recorded as contra revenue in prior periods. Additionally, the Company recognized expense of $37.8 million in Other income, net to reverse the warrant contract asset balance as of December 31, 2024.
In November 2023, the Company entered into a Commercialization and Reference Laboratory Agreement with Personalis, Inc. (“Personalis”), which was subsequently amended in August 2024 and July 2025. The Company agreed to pay up to $12.0 million to Personalis over three years as certain milestones are met, all of which has been paid as of December 31, 2025. These payments are treated as contract assets and amortized into revenue over the life of the contract. Contract asset balances are offset by deferred revenue generated from receipt of warrants for Personalis common stock (see Note 15). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 , there was $4.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of net contract assets related to this agreement recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings or cash received for services in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as revenue when all the Company’s revenue recognition criteria are met. The deferred revenue balance is influenced primarily by upfront contractual payments from the Company’s Data and applications product offerings and timing of
153
delivery of the Company’s de-identified licensed data and clinical test results. The portion of deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized as revenue during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as deferred revenue, current and any remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, non-current. The Company recognized $74.0 million, $69.5 million and $43.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that was included in the corresponding deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the periods.
Cost of Revenue, Diagnostics
Cost of revenue for Diagnostics consists of personnel lab expenses, including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, amortization of intangible assets, cost of laboratory supplies and consumables, depreciation of laboratory equipment, shipping costs, third-party laboratory costs, and certain allocated overhead expenses. Costs associated with performing the Company’s tests are recorded as the tests are processed regardless of whether revenue was recognized with respect to that test.
Cost of Revenue, Data and applications
Cost of revenue for Data and applications includes data acquisition and royalty fees, and personnel costs related to our delivery of our data services and platform, and certain allocated overhead expenses. Costs associated with performing data services are recorded as incurred.
Technology Research and Development
Technology research and development expense primarily includes personnel costs incurred related to the research and development of the Company’s technology platform and applications and the research and development of new products which the Company hopes to bring to the market. Technology research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
