Myriad Genetics Reports Fiscal Second-Quarter 2015 Financial Results
| Revenues of $184.4 Million |
| Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.40, and Diluted EPS of $0.32 |
| myRisk Hereditary Cancer Revenues of $85.1 Million |
| BRACAnalysis CDx Approved by the FDA |

| Company Revises Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Guidance; Provides Fiscal 3Q15 Financial Guidance |
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, February 3, 2015 Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN) today announced financial results for its fiscal second-quarter and six months ended December 31, 2014, provided an update on recent business highlights, provided fiscal Q3 financial guidance and revised its financial guidance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.
Myriad delivered strong financial results in its second fiscal quarter with revenues increasing nine percent over its first fiscal quarter. In particular, the transition from single cancer testing to the myRisk cancer panel has proceeded exceptionally well with myRisk revenue up 60 percent sequentially, said Peter D. Meldrum, president and chief executive officer of Myriad. While delays for some of our new products reimbursement have caused us to revise guidance for this year, we remain very encouraged by our progress and believe we will exit this year on an excellent trajectory for long-term future growth.
Fiscal Second-Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights
| Total revenues for the fiscal second quarter was $184.4 million compared to $204.1 million in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of 10 percent. The year-over-year decline in revenues was primarily attributable to the one-time revenue benefit from celebrity publicity in the second quarter of the prior year. The following tables display Myriads product revenues by segment and product: |

| myRisk Hereditary Cancer revenue increased 640 percent to $85.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 from $11.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year. In the second quarter of this year, a large percentage of Integrated BRACAnalysis tests were transitioned to myRisk, resulting in Integrated BRACAnalysis revenue of $72.5 million in this quarter compared to $165.9 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The Company also transitioned approximately one half of its COLARIS and COLARIS AP tests to myRisk, resulting in COLARIS and COLARIS AP revenue of $7.4 million compared to $15.6 million in the same period of the previous year. |
2
| Operating income was $36.3 million in the second quarter and excluding certain non-cash amortization charges, adjusted operating income was $43.8 million. Adjusted operating income declined 47 percent year-over-year primarily due to the positive impact of celebrity publicity on operating income in the second quarter of the prior year, dilution from the Crescendo acquisition, lower gross margins associated with the transition to myRisk, and product launch expenses. |
| Excluding certain non-cash amortization charges and one-time severance expenses, second- quarter adjusted net income was $29.9 million compared to $50.6 million in the same period of the previous year and adjusted earnings per share was $0.40 compared to $0.66 in the same period of the prior year. Net income was $24.0 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.32. |
| During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares, or $58 million, of common stock under its share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2014, $62 million of share repurchase authorization remained under the board authorized share repurchase program. Fiscal second-quarter diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 75.4 million compared to 76.8 million in the same period last year. |
Business Highlights
| Myriad received FDA approval for its BRACAnalysis CDx test to identify ovarian cancer patients who may benefit from the PARP inhibitor Lynparza (olaparib). The approval of BRACAnalysis CDx represents the first and only complex sequencing based laboratory developed test approved by the FDA. |
| The Company was granted European CE Marking approval for its Tumor BRACAnalysis CDx test. Tumor BRACAnalysis CDx is the only tumor-based BRCA test with CE Marking, and in clinical studies has shown that it identifies up to 44 percent more potential responders to PARP inhibitors such as Lynparza when compared to germline testing. |
| Myriad and TESARO announced an expanded companion diagnostic agreement during the second quarter to use Myriads myChoice HRD test in clinical studies in support of niraparib, TESAROs novel PARP inhibitor. |
| At the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), Myriad presented data from a study of 17,142 patients demonstrating that the myRisk Hereditary Cancer test detected 105 percent more patients with mutations when compared to standard single cancer syndrome tests. |
| The Company also presented data at the SABCS demonstrating that its myChoice HRD test successfully predicted neoadjuvant response to platinum-based therapies in triple negative breast cancer patients. In the study, 52 percent of patients with a high HRD score responded to platinum compared to only 10 percent of patients with a low HRD score. |
3
| At the American Society for Dermatopathology annual meeting, Myriad presented data from its first clinical utility study on myPath Melanoma. The study demonstrated that myPath Melanoma led to a 49 percent change in physicians treatment recommendations for patients. |
| At the American College of Rheumatology meeting, Crescendo Bioscience presented data highlighting Vectra® DA as a better predictor of radiographic progression (joint damage) when compared to other tests such as C-reactive protein and DAS28. |
| At the Society of Urological Oncology annual meeting, Myriad presented a health economic study on its Prolaris® test. The study demonstrated that Prolaris could save the healthcare system $6 billion over 10 years. |
Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Guidance
The Company is revising its fiscal year 2015 financial guidance and now expects total revenues of $730 to $740 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.50 to $1.55 (diluted EPS of $1.16 to $1.21). The primary reasons for this guidance change are a lag in obtaining private reimbursement coverage for Vectra DA, a delay in Medicare reimbursement for Prolaris, an increase in work-in-process, and the timing of certain contracts in the pharmaceutical and clinical services segment.

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measures
In this press release, the Companys financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial 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 Companys core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and to manage the Companys business. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included in the attached financial statements.
Following is a description of the adjustments made to GAAP measures:
| Acquisition amortization of intangible assets: Represents recurring amortization charges resulting from the acquisition of intangible assets including developed technology and database rights. |
| Severance executive severance: Represents one-time severance expenses associated with the departure of executive officers of Myriad Genetics, Inc. |
The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Non-GAAP results are reported in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Myriad Announces Retirement of Peter D. Meldrum, President and CEO
Company Appoints Mark C. Capone as New President and CEO Effective July 1, 2015
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 3, 2015 Myriad Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MYGN) today announced that Peter D. Meldrum, president and chief executive officer, has notified the company of his decision to retire at the conclusion of the fiscal year on June 30, 2015. Pursuant to the companys succession plan, the board of directors has unanimously elected Mark C. Capone, currently president of Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc., as Mr. Meldrums successor. Mr. Capone, a 13-year veteran of the company, has worked closely with Mr. Meldrum and the board in charting the strategic direction and managing the overall business of the company, as well as regularly interfacing with our institutional shareholders.
Pete has led Myriad for the past 24 years, since the founding of the company and has been the key architect in developing Myriad into one of the world leaders in molecular diagnostics, said John Henderson, chairman of the board of directors of Myriad. We are incredibly thankful for Petes years of extraordinary contributions to the company, and we wish him a long, healthy and fulfilling retirement.
I want to thank Myriads board of directors for their wisdom and guidance over the years, and in particular, I have enjoyed my partnership with our chairman, John Henderson. Most importantly, I will genuinely miss each and every one of the wonderful Myriad employees who make the company such a unique and special place to work, said Mr. Meldrum. I know I will leave Myriad in exceptionally capable hands with Mark Capone at the helm. I cant think of anyone with better leadership skills than Mark Capone to guide Myriad into the future and wish him well as the new president and CEO.
During Mr. Capones 13 years at Myriad, he has held various senior management positions, most recently as president of Myriads largest wholly-owned subsidiary, Myriad Genetic Laboratories. During his tenure at Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Mr. Capone has been responsible for growing the annual molecular diagnostic revenues from $14 million to over $700 million. In addition, over the past five years, Mr. Capone has been instrumental in developing and leading the strategic initiative to diversify the companys molecular diagnostic test portfolio through internal development and acquisition. This has resulted in a twenty-fold increase in scientific publications and ten new products addressing a global market potential in excess of $15 billion dollars. Mr. Capone received his B.S. degree, with
highest distinction, in chemical engineering from Penn State University, an M.S. degree in chemical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an M.S. degree in management from the Sloan School of Management at MIT. In total, Mr. Capone has almost 30 years of experience in the life science industry, having spent 17 years at Eli Lilly in various positions in sales and marketing, research and development, and manufacturing.
Pete has been an outstanding and insightful mentor over the years, commented Mr. Capone. I feel honored to have worked closely with him, and I look forward to leading Myriad as the company continues the exciting journey to enrich the lives of our patients through pioneering science.
