GPS Cancer - Highlights
• | GPS Cancer Test to Be Complementary Diagnostic for FDA Authorized Nant Cancer Vaccine Clinical Trials. The NANT Cancer Vaccine is the first combination immunotherapy protocol to orchestrate the delivery of metronomic low-dose radiation and chemotherapy with molecularly-informed, tumor-associated antigen vaccines and natural killer cells, to activate the innate and adaptive immune system and to induce immunogenic cell death. By inducing immunogenic cell death and protecting as well as enhancing the innate and adaptive immune system, the NANT Cancer Vaccine seeks to attain long-term sustainable remission of multiple tumor types with lower toxicity and higher efficacy than current standards of care. |
• | Number of covered cancer lives: at March 31, 2017, the estimated number of patients with cancer covered by a payer for GPS testing was approximately 327,000 including lives anticipated upon completion of a pilot project with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield. |
• | Number of GPS Cancer payers: at March 31, 2017, the number of payers covering GPS Cancer was 10. |
• | Local Coverage Determination (LCD) & National Coverage by CMS: Discussions are underway for both local and national coverage with CMS and FDA regarding GPS Cancer coverage by Medicare. The company is encouraged following multiple detailed meetings with CMS in which the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the GPS Cancer test, as well as its clinical utility, were presented. |
• | Number of GPS Cancer Tests: 365 commercial tests ordered and 266 delivered in Q1. |
• | Expanded adoption of GPS Cancer with addition of new international payer/reseller for a total of four. |
• | Expanded field sales and clinical team: doubled field sales team that call on oncologists, expanding our |
footprint; and increased clinical support for oncologists engaged with our GPS Cancer team, ensuring full clinical utility is recognized and reorder is supported.
“We continue to focus on extending coverage for our GPS Cancer Test in the commercial health insurance and self-employed payer markets,” said Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of NantHealth. “During the recently completed quarter, we successfully completed and executed two payer agreements and added one new international reseller. In addition, we have recently introduced pilot programs to accelerate adoption. As part of these programs, commercial insurance payers agree to pay for a certain number of GPS profiles as part of the pilot project. We have also developed a GPS Cancer benefit option that can be purchased as a supplement to existing benefits through aggregators. Our first group is expected to come on board in late Q3. Last, we are ramping up our efforts to educate the oncology community and CMS about the benefits and value of GPS Cancer. We have made significant additional investments in experienced sales and account management staff. Dr. Bobby Reddy, former chief medical officer at Caris, has joined NantHealth as chief medical officer to lead the clinical GPS Cancer initiatives. In addition, Ron Louks, former president of devices and emerging solutions at Blackberry, former chief strategy officer of HTC and former chief technology officer at Sony Ericsson, has joined in the capacity of chief operating officer.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains references to Non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, which are financial measures that are not prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The Company’s management believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information regarding operational performance, because it enhances an investor’s overall understanding of the financial results for the Company’s core business. Additionally, it provides a basis for the comparison of the financial results for the Company’s core business between current, past and future periods. Other companies may define these measures in different ways. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP per share numbers are calculated based on one class of common stock and do not incorporate the effects, if any, of using the two-class method.

Footnote:
1) | The net income (loss) per share and weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2016, have been computed to give effect to the LLC Conversion that occurred on June 1, 2016, prior to the Company’s initial public offering ("IPO").

The Company adopted and filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the state of Delaware to effect a 1-for-5.5 reverse stock split of its common stock on June 1, 2016. |
The net loss per share for the common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2016 reflects $2,625 in accretion value allocated to the redeemable common stock. The redeemable common stock contained a put right, which expired unexercised on June 20, 2016. As a result of and as of that date, the shares were no longer redeemable and were included in common stock.

1) The net loss per share - non-GAAP, weighted average shares outstanding, weighted average Series F units/redeemable stock and shares outstanding - non-GAAP have been computed to give effect to the LLC conversion that occurred June 1, 2016 prior to our IPO. In conjunction with the LLC Conversion, (a) all of our outstanding units automatically converted into shares of common stock, based on the relative rights of our pre-IPO equityholders as set forth in the limited liability company agreement and (b) we adopted and filed a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the state of Delaware and adopted bylaws. We filed an amended certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-5.5 reverse stock split of our common stock on June 1, 2016.
2) The weighted average shares outstanding have been further adjusted to account for the redeemable Series F units (converted to common stock in conjunction with the LLC conversion), whose Put Right expired on June 20, 2016. Prior to June 20, 2016, these units/shares of common stock were classified as redeemable members’/stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet, and as such, were not included in the weighted-average shares outstanding prior to June 20, 2016. The Put Right expired June 20, 2016, and the shares were no longer redeemable and are included in stockholders’ equity following that day. The weighted-average shares are adjusted to include the redeemable common stock in the weighted average shares outstanding for the entire period.
