Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements. You should carefully read the section entitled “Risk Factors” to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Overview

See Note 1, “Organization and Description of Business” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe several important factors have impacted, and will continue to impact, our 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 Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report, for further information.

Test Volume

The principal focus of our commercial operations is to offer our diagnostic tests through both our direct sales force and laboratory distribution partners. Test volume correlates with genomic database size and long-term patient relationships. Thus, test volume drives database diversity and enables potential identification of variants of unknown significance and population-specific insights. The number of exome and genome tests resulted and the mix of test results are key indicators that we use to assess the operational efficiency of our business. Once the appropriate workflow is completed, the test is resulted and details are provided to ordered patients or healthcare professionals for reviews, which corresponds to the timing of our revenue recognition.

We believe the number of resulted exome and genome tests in any period is important and useful to our investors because it directly correlates with long-term patient relationships and the size of our genomic database. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we resulted 30,785 exome and genome tests, which represented 49% of all test results, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, in which we resulted approximately 23,246 exome and genome tests, which represented 40% of all test results. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we resulted 58,273 exome and genome tests, which represented 49% of all test results, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, in which we resulted approximately 43,808 exome and genome tests, which represented 40% of all test results.

Success Obtaining and Maintaining Reimbursement

Our ability to increase the number of billable tests and our revenue therefrom will depend on our success in achieving reimbursement for our tests from third-party payors. Reimbursement by a payor may depend on several factors, including a payor’s determination that a test is appropriate, medically necessary, cost-effective, and has received prior authorization. The commercial success of our current and future products, if approved, will depend on the extent to which our customers receive coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors including commercial and Medicaid. Since each payor makes its own decision as to whether to establish a policy or enter into a contract to provide coverage for our tests, as well as the amount it will reimburse us for a test, seeking these approvals is a time-consuming and costly process.

In cases where we or our partners have established reimbursement rates with third-party payors, we face additional challenges in complying with their procedural requirements for reimbursement. These requirements often vary from payor to payor and are reassessed by third-party payors regularly. As a result, in the past we have needed additional time and resources to comply with the requirements.

Third-party payors may decide to deny payment or seek to recoup payments for tests performed by us that they contend were improperly billed, not medically necessary or against their coverage determinations, or for which they believe they have otherwise overpaid. As a result, we may be required to refund payments already received, and our revenues may be subject to retroactive adjustment as a result of these factors among others.

We expect to continue to focus our resources on increasing the adoption of, and expanding coverage and reimbursement for, exome and genome, and any future tests we may develop or acquire. If we fail to expand and maintain broad adoption of, and

coverage and reimbursement for, our tests, our ability to generate revenue and our future business prospects may be adversely affected.

Ability to Lower the Costs Associated with Performing our Tests

Reducing the costs associated with performing our diagnostic tests is both our focus and a strategic objective. We source, and will continue to source, components of our diagnostic testing workflows from third parties. We also rely upon third-party service providers for data storage and workflow management.

Increasing Adoption of our Services by Existing and New Customers

Our performance depends on our ability to retain and broaden the adoption of our services with existing customers as well as our ability to attract new customers. Our success in retaining and gaining new customers is dependent on the market’s confidence in our services and the willingness of customers to continue to seek more comprehensive and integrated genomic and clinical data insights.

Investment in Platform Innovation to Support Commercial Growth

We operate in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive industry. Our business faces changing technologies, shifting provider and patient needs, and frequent introductions of rival products and services. To compete successfully, we must accurately anticipate technology developments and deliver innovative, relevant, and useful products, services, and technologies on time. As our business evolves, the competitive pressure to innovate will encompass a wider range of products and services. We must continue to invest significant resources in research and development, including investments through acquisitions and partnerships. These investments are critical to the enhancement of our current diagnostics and health information and data science technologies from which existing and new service offerings are derived.

We expect to incur significant expenses to advance these development efforts, but they may not be successful. New potential services may fail at any stage of development and, if we determine that any of our current or future services are unlikely to succeed, we may abandon them without any return on our investment. If we are unsuccessful in developing additional services, our growth potential may be impaired.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Diagnostic Test Revenue

The majority of our revenue is derived from genetic and genomic diagnostic testing services for three groups of customers: healthcare professionals working with patients with third-party insurance coverage or without third-party insurance coverage, institutional clients such as hospitals, clinics, state governments and reference laboratories, and self-pay patients. The amount of revenue recognized for diagnostic testing services depends on a number of factors, such as resulted test volumes, contracted rates with our customers and third-party insurance providers, insurance reimbursement policies, payor mix, historical collection experience, price concessions and other business and economic conditions and trends. To date, the majority of our diagnostic test revenue has been earned from orders received for patients with third-party insurance coverage. Our ability to increase our diagnostic test revenue will depend on our ability to increase our market penetration, obtain contracted reimbursement coverage from third-party payors, enter into contracts with institutions, and increase our reimbursement rate for tests performed.

Other Revenue

We also generate revenue from collaboration service agreements with biopharma companies and other third parties, pursuant to which we provide health information and patient identification support services. Certain of these contracts provide non-refundable payments, which we record as contract liabilities, and variable payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones during the contract term.

With respect to existing collaboration and service agreements, our revenue may fluctuate period to period due to the pattern in which we may deliver our services, our ability to achieve milestones, the timing of costs incurred, changes in estimates of total anticipated costs that we expect to incur during the contract period, and other events that may not be within our control. Our ability to increase our revenue will depend on our ability to enter into contracts with third-party partners.

26

Table of Contents

In addition, we generate revenues through software and interpretation services related to rare disease, hereditary risk, and cancer testing. Our customers include clinical laboratories, hospitals, and research institutions. Our ability to increase this revenue will depend on our ability to expand our customer base among hospitals and genomic centers, along with increased adoption of whole genome sequencing and AI-enabled interpretation in clinical workflows.

Cost of Services

The cost of services reflect the aggregate costs incurred in performing services, which include expenses for reagents and laboratory supplies, compensation expenses for employees directly involved in revenue generating activities, shipping and handling fees, costs of third-party reference lab testing and phlebotomy services, if any, and allocated genetic counseling, facility and information technology costs associated with delivery services. Allocated costs include depreciation of laboratory equipment, facility occupancy, and information technology costs. The cost of services are recorded as the services are performed.

We expect the cost of services to generally increase in absolute dollars with the anticipated growth in diagnostic testing volume and services we provide under our collaboration service agreements. However, we expect the cost per test to decrease over the long term due to the efficiencies we may gain from improved utilization of our laboratory capacity, automation, and other value engineering initiatives. These expected reductions may be offset by new tests which often have a higher cost per test during the introductory phases before we can gain efficiencies. The cost per test may fluctuate from period to period.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to develop our technology and future test offerings. These costs are principally associated with our efforts to develop the software we use to analyze data and process customer orders. These costs primarily consist of compensation expenses for employees performing research and development, innovation and product development activities, costs of reagents and laboratory supplies, costs of consultants and third-party services, equipment and related depreciation expenses, non-capitalizable software development costs, research funding to our research partners as part of research and deve

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements. You should carefully read the section entitled “Risk Factors” to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

We believe the number of resulted exome and genome tests in any period is important and useful to our investors because it directly correlates with long-term patient relationships and the size of our genomic database. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we resulted 97,271 exome and genome tests, which represented 43% of all test results, compared to the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in which we resulted 74,547 and 49,439 exome and genome tests, which represented 33% and 22%, respectively, of all test results.

With respect to existing collaboration and service agreements, our revenue may fluctuate period to period due to the pattern in which we may deliver our services, our ability to achieve milestones, the timing of costs incurred, changes in estimates of total anticipated costs that we expect to incur during the contract period, and other events that may not be within our control. Our ability to increase our revenue will depend on our ability to enter into contracts with third-party partners.

In addition, with the acquisition of Fabric Genomics, we generate revenues through software and interpretation services related to rare disease, hereditary risk, and cancer testing. Our customers include clinical laboratories, hospitals, and research institutions. Our ability to increase this revenue will depend on our ability to expand our customer base among hospitals and genomic centers, along with increased adoption of whole genome sequencing and AI-enabled interpretation in clinical workflows.

Cost of Services

The cost of services reflect the aggregate costs incurred in performing services, which include expenses for reagents and laboratory supplies, compensation expenses for employees directly involved in revenue generating activities, shipping and handling fees, costs of third-party reference lab testing and phlebotomy services, if any, and allocated genetic counseling, facility and information technology costs associated with delivery services. Allocated costs include depreciation of laboratory equipment, facility occupancy, and information technology costs. The cost of services are recorded as the services are performed.

We expect the cost of services to generally increase in absolute dollars with the anticipated growth in diagnostic testing volume and services we provide under our collaboration service agreements. However, we expect the cost per test to decrease over the long term due to the efficiencies we may gain from improved utilization of our laboratory capacity, automation, and other value engineering initiatives. These expected reductions may be offset by new tests which often have a higher cost per test during the introductory phases before we can gain efficiencies. The cost per test may fluctuate from period to period.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to develop our technology and future test offerings. These costs are principally associated with our efforts to develop the software we use to analyze data and process customer orders. These costs primarily consist of compensation expenses for employees performing research and development, innovation and product development activities, costs of reagents and laboratory supplies, costs of consultants and third-party services, equipment and related depreciation expenses, non-capitalizable software development costs, research funding to our research partners as part of research and development agreements and allocated facility and information technology costs associated with genomics medical research.

We generally expect our research and development expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we innovate and expand the application of our platforms. However, we expect research and development expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term, although the percentage may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and extent of our development and commercialization efforts and fluctuations in our compensation-related char
