Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the accounting disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 21, 2021 filed on March 14, 2022 (the “Annual Report”).
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to state fairly the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for a full year or any subsequent interim period.
The Company’s historical financial information includes costs of certain services historically provided by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (“ISMMS”) pursuant to a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") and service agreements. See Note 7, “Related Party Transactions”.
As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report, the Company identified the misclassification of certain expenses and out of period adjustments generally related to the recognition of cost of services. The impact of these adjustments were disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report and are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, condensed consolidated statement of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2021.
Although the Company has incurred recurring losses in each year since inception, the Company expects its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of filing of this Form 10-Q.
Segment Information
The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable operating segment based on how the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assesses performance and allocates resources across the business.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company bases these estimates on current facts, historical and anticipated results, trends and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable in the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the transaction price for certain contracts with customers, potential or actual claims for recoupment from third-party payors, the capitalization of software costs, the valuation of stock-based awards, inventory, earn-out contingent liabilities and earn-out Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, judgments and assumptions.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high-quality financial institutions. The Company has balances in financial institutions that exceed federal depository insurance limits. Management believes these financial institutions are financially sound and, accordingly, that minimal credit risk exists. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company assesses both the self-pay patient and, if applicable, the third-party payor that reimburses the Company on the patient’s behalf when evaluating the concentration of credit risk. Significant customers and payors are those that represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues for the period or accounts receivable balance at each respective balance sheet date. The significant concentrations of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were primarily from large managed care insurance companies and a reference laboratory. There was no individual patient that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue or accounts receivable for any of the periods presented. The Company does not require collateral as a means to mitigate customer credit risk.
For each significant payor, revenue as a percentage of total revenues and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable are as follows:

__________________
(1) This payor represented less than 10% of the Company’s total revenues in 2022 due to a reversal of revenue recorded for this payor primarily in the second quarter of 2022 due to this payor’s allegation regarding certain overpayments the Company allegedly received from this payor. Refer to Note 4, “Revenue Recognition.”

(2) This payor includes multiple individual plans and the Company calculates and presents the aggregated value from all plans, which is consistent with the Company’s portfolio approach used in accounting for diagnostic test revenue.
The Company is subject to a concentration of risk from a limited number of suppliers for certain reagents and laboratory supplies. One supplier accounted for approximately 13% and 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and 13% and 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This risk is managed by maintaining a target quantity of surplus stock.
Impact of COVID-19

Beginning in April 2020, the Company’s diagnostic test volumes decreased significantly as compared to the prior year as a result of the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related limitations and priorities across the healthcare system. In response, beginning in May 2020, the Company entered into several service agreements with state governments and healthcare institutions to provide testing for the presence of COVID-19 variants. Test volumes have since improved to what would, at this time, be considered normalized market conditions. A COVID-19 resurgence in the United States could however have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law which was a stimulus bill that, among other things, provided assistance to qualifying businesses and individuals and included funding for the healthcare system. During 2020, as part of the stimulus provided by the CARES Act, the Company received $5.4 million, comprised of $2.6 million received under the Provider Relief Fund (“PRF”) distribution and $2.8 million received under the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) distribution which was recorded in other current liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received an additional $5.6 million under the PRF distribution, which was recognized in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Additionally, under the CARES Act, the Company deferred payment of U.S. social security taxes in 2020. As a result, $3.8 million of employer payroll tax payments were initially deferred as of December 31, 2020 with $1.9 million paid in December 2021 and the remaining $1.9 million payment will be made in December 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining payable is recorded in other current liabilities.
Following the Company’s announcement that it would discontinue COVID-19 testing services by March 31, 2022, the Company no longer provides COVID-19 testing services. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company wrote off an accounts receivable balance of $0.4 million related to COVID-19 testing services.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of amounts invested in money market funds. Carrying values of cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
As of
September 30, 2022
As of
December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents$191,360 $400,569 
Restricted cash14,370 900 
Total$205,730 $401,469 
Restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 includes $13.5 million escrow fund as restricted cash related to the closing of the Acquisition of GeneDx. The escrow amount is to be held for a period of 12 months following the closing date of the Acquisition as a fund for OPKO’s indemnification obligations pursuant to the Acquisition Merger Agreement. In addition, restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 consists of money market deposit accounts that secure an irrevocable standby letter of credit that serves as collateral for security deposit operating leases (see Note 9, “Leases”).
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers and third party payors for services performed and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing those services. Accounts receivable are estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2022 included $3.6 million of unbilled accounts receivables.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded based on their estimated fair values as of the business combination date, including identifiable intangible assets which either arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The Company bases the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination on third-party valuations that use information and assumptions provided by the Company’s management, which consider estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. Any excess purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded to goodwill. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated revenue projections, growth rates, estimated cost savings, cash flows, discount rates, estimated useful lives and probabilities surrounding the achievement of contingent milestones could result in different purchase price allocations and amortization expense in current and future periods.
Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the Company’s goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Under ASC 350, the Company will perform annual impairment reviews of goodwill during the fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if business factors indicate. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company identified indicators of impairment that indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The factors contributing to the indicators include, but are not limited to, significant decline in the Company’s stock price coupled with lower than anticipated business financial performance of Sema4. As a result, the Company performed quantitative analysis to determine the fair value of the company-wide single reporting unit, and based on this analysis, the Company concluded that an impairment loss is not required as of September 30, 2022. The fair value was determined to include the Company’s estimates of discounted future cash flows expected to be generated as well as other contemporaneous assumptions related to the exit of the reproductive and women’s health business.
Intangible Assets
Amortizable intangible assets include trade names and trademarks, developed technology and customer relationships acquired as part of business combinations. Intangible assets acquired through our business combinations in the second quarter of 2022 are amortized on a straight line basis. All intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. As discussed above regarding goodwill, the indicators of impairment were identified and the Company evaluated the recoverability of amortizable intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment. The recoverability test was performed on a company-wide single asset group level. As a result of the test performed, impairment loss was not required as of September 30, 2022.
Warrant Liability
As of the consummation of the Business Combination Merger in July 2021, there were 21,995,000 warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock outstanding, including 14,758,333 public warrants and 7,236,667 private placement warrants. As of December 31, 2021, there were 21,994,972 warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock outstanding, including 14,758,305 public warrants and 7,236,667 private placement warrants outstanding. Each warrant expires five years after the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, and entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing on September 4, 2021.
The Company may redeem the outstanding public warrants if the price per share of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 as described below:

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per public warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before sending the notice of redemption to warrant holders.
The Company may redeem the outstanding public warrants if the price per share of the common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 as described below:

in whole and not in part;
at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the common stock;
if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
if the closing price of the common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the private placement warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.
The private placement warrants were issued to CMLS Holdings, LLC, Mr. Munib Islam, Dr. Emily Leproust and Mr. Nat Turner, and are identical to the public warrants underlying the units sold in the initial public offering, except that (1) the private placement warrants and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants would not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (2) the private placement warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis, (3) the private placement warrants are non-redeemable (except as described above, upon a redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00) so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees,
and (4) the holders of the private placement warrants and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants have certain registration rights. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants.
The Company accounts for warrants as liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant terms and applicable authoritative guidance in accordance with ASC 480-Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815-Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether the warrants meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
Contingent consideration (GeneDx)
In connection with the Acquisition of GeneDx, up to $150 million of contingent payments will be payable to OPKO in cash and/or shares of Company’s Class A common stock with such mix to be determined in the Company’s sole discretion, based upon achievement of 2022 and 2023 revenue milestones, pursuant to the Acquisition Merger Agreement (the “Milestone Payments”). If the Company elects to pay in shares of Class A common stock, the Acquisition Merger Agreement provides that the shares issues are to be valued at $4.86 per share for a maximum of 30.9 million shares.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Merger Agreement, (a) the first Milestone Payment of $112.5 million will become due and payable if the revenue of the GeneDx group for the fiscal year 2022 equals or exceeds $163 million and (b) the second Milestone Payment of $37.5 million will become due and payable if the revenue of the GeneDx group for the fiscal year 2023 equals or exceeds $219 million (each of clauses (a) and (b), a “Milestone Event”); provided that 80% of the Milestone Payment for the first milestone period or the second milestone period, as applicable, will become payable in respect of such period if the GeneDx group achieves 90% of the applicable Milestone Event revenue target for such period, which amount will scale on a linear basis up to 100% of the applicable Milestone Payment at 100% of the applicable revenue target. The milestone payments would require issuance of shares of Company’s Class A common stock up to 23.2 million shares and 7.7 million shares for the first Milestone Payment and second Milestone Payment, respectively. The fair value of the Milestone Payment which was determined to be $24.4 million as of September 30, 2022 is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and assuming the Company will pay the earn-out in shares.
Earn-out contingent liability
In connection with the Business Combination Merger, all Legacy Sema4 stockholders and option holders at that time became entitled to a pro rata share of 19,021,576 earn-out shares and earn-out RSUs. Based on an assessment of the earn-out shares for the Legacy Sema4 stockholders, the Company considered ASC 480 and ASC 815 and accounted for the earn-out shares as a liability. The Company subsequently measures the fair value of the liability at each reporting period and reports the changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company determined that the fair value of the earn-out shares issued to the Legacy Sema4 stockholders as of September 30, 2022 was reduced to $0. The estimated fair value of the earn-out is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.
As for the earn-out RSUs for the Legacy Sema4 option holders, a total of 2.7 million RSUs were granted on December 9, 2021. The vesting of such arrangement is conditioned on the satisfaction of both a service requirement and on the satisfaction of a market-based requirement. The market-based requirement would be achieved if the Company’s stock price is greater than or equal to $13 (Triggering Event I), $15 (Triggering Event II) and $18 (Triggering Event III) during the applicable performance period, based on the volume-weighted average price for a period of at least 20 days out of 30 consecutive trading days. Therefore, the Company accounts for this arrangement in accordance with ASC 718- Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the longer of the expected achievement period for the market-based requirement and the service requirement. The Company recorded $0.9 million of stock-based compensation expense in relation to the earn-out RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In the event that any earn-out RSUs that are forfeited as a result of a failure to achieve the service requirement, the underlying shares will be reallocated on an annual basis to the Legacy Sema4 stockholders and to the Legacy Sema4
option holders who remain employed as of the date of such reallocation. The Company accounts for the re-allocations to Legacy Sema4 option holders as new grants.
Capitalized Internal-Use Software Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred related to the development of its software applications for internal use during the application development state. If a project constitutes an enhancement to existing software, the Company assesses whether the enhancement creates additional functionality to the software, thus qualifying the work incurred for capitalization. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Once the project is available for general release, capitalization ceases and the Company estimates the useful life of the asset and begins amortization. Upon prospective adoption of the ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”) for the annual period ended December 31, 2021, $2.3 million of eligible implementation costs incurred throughout 2021 were capitalized and recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021 in other current and non-current assets, of which $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.8 million and $1.3 million were related to the first, second, third and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As such, the Company is eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including reduced reporting and extended transition periods to comply with new or revised accounting standards for public business entities. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases on their balance sheets. Expense recognition for lessees under ASC 842 is similar to current lease accounting. ASC 842 requires enhanced disclosures to help the financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022, utilizing the modified retrospective adoption approach. In transition to the ASC 842, the Company elected to use the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that allowed us to not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which would have permitted the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components that are fixed and also elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”). The adoption of the ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022, resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $39.2 million and $42.2 million, respectively. The adoption did not have material impact on finance leases. The adoption did not have material impact on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to “Note 9 Leases” for a discussion of the Company’s lease accounting following the adoption of ASC 842.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance, which requires entities to provide disclosures on material government assistance transactions for annual reporting periods. The disclosures include information around the nature of the assistance, the related accounting policies used to account for government assistance, the effect of government assistance on the entity’s financial statements, and any significant terms and conditions of the agreements, including commitments and contingencies. The Company adopted ASU 2021-10 effective January 1, 2022. The Company did not receive any such grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The new credit losses standard changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, contract assets recognized as a
result of applying ASC 606, loans and certain other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in earlier recognition of credit losses than under today’s incurred loss model. As an emerging growth company, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
