On June 3, 2024, Exact Sciences Corporation (the "Company" or "Exact Sciences") announced leadership updates as it prepares for an exciting period of growth and the launches of new breakthrough cancer tests to improve the lives of people around the world. The Company is moving its commercial organization, which includes exceptional sales and marketing leaders, directly under its Screening and Precision Oncology teams. The Company expects this will enhance its agility, transparency and responsiveness to patient and customer needs. Jake Orville and Brian Baranick will continue in their roles as General Managers of Screening and Precision Oncology, respectively, positions they have both held since 2022.
Exact Sciences also reported that on May 30, 2024, Everett Cunningham, Chief Commercial Officer, informed the Company that effective on June 13, 2024 he will be departing for an opportunity with an organization that does not compete with the Company.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements concerning the Company's expectations, anticipations, intentions, beliefs or strategies regarding the future. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company has made as of the date hereof and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, conditions and events to differ materially from those anticipated. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements the Company makes regarding expectations for development and commercialization of new or improved products and services and their impacts on patients, and the Company's strategies, positioning, resources, capabilities and expectations for future events or performance. Risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company's forward-looking statements are described in the Risk Factors sections of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Non-GAAP disclosure
In addition to the Company's financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP measures that it determines to be useful in evaluating its operating performance. The Company presents EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, core revenue, and free cash flow. This current report on Form 8-K includes certain of these measures. Management believes that presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets, manage the Company’s business, and in setting incentive and compensation arrangements. Please refer to the Company's first quarter 2024 earnings release for discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to GAAP financial measures.
