NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Myriad Genetics, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly all financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, a reclassification from proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities was made to the effect of foreign exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to conform to current-year presentation.

(2) Marketable Investment Securities

The Company has classified its marketable investment securities as available-for-sale securities. These securities are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until realized. Gains and losses on investment security transactions are reported on the specific-identification method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and fair value for available-for-sale securities by major security type and class of security at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were as follows:

(3) Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains a share-based compensation plan, the 2010 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2010 Plan”), that has been approved by the Company’s shareholders. The 2010 Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, to make grants of stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards and other stock-based awards to employees, consultants and directors. On December 5, 2013, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2010 Plan to set the number of shares available for grant to 3,500,000. At December 31, 2014, 1,809,802 shares were available for issuance. In addition, as of December 31, 2014, the Company may grant up to 4,496,736 additional shares under the 2010 Plan if options previously granted under the Company’s terminated 2003 Employee, Director and Consultant Option Plan are cancelled or expire without the issuance of shares of common stock by the Company.

The number of shares, terms, and vesting period of awards under the 2010 Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for each equity award. Stock options granted under the plan prior to December 5, 2012 generally vest ratably over four years and expire ten years from the grant date. Stock options granted after December 5, 2012 generally vest ratably over four years and expire eight years from the grant date. The exercise price of options granted is equivalent to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. In September 2014, the Company began issuing restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which vest ratably over four years on the anniversary date of the grant in lieu of stock options to all employees and directors. The number of RSUs awarded to certain executive officers may be reduced if certain additional functional performance metrics are not met.

The grant date fair value of an RSU equals the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The weighted average grant date fair value for the six months ended December 31, 2014 is $37.85. As of December 31, 2014, no RSUs were vested.

As of December 31, 2014, there was $31.3 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to RSUs that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.98 years. This unrecognized compensation expense is equal to the fair value of RSUs expected to vest.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that was approved by shareholders in 2012 (the “2012 Purchase Plan”), under which 2,000,000 shares of common stock have been authorized. Shares are issued under the 2012 Purchase Plan twice yearly at the end of each offering period. As of December 31, 2014, approximately 334,000 shares of common stock have been issued under the 2012 Purchase Plan and approximately 1,666,000 were available for issuance.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense recognized and included in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was allocated as follows:

In October 2014 the Company and its former Chief Financial Officer entered into a resignation agreement under which the vesting of certain awards were modified such that the specified awards were vested in full. As a result of this award modification the company recognized approximately $3.1 million in share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ending December 31, 2014.

(4) Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

In November 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of $300 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company plans to repurchase its common stock from time to time or on an accelerated basis through open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions as determined by the Company’s management. The amount and timing of stock repurchases under the program will depend on business and market conditions, stock price, trading restrictions, acquisition activity and other factors. As of December 31, 2014, approximately $61.7 million remained available for repurchases under the current program.

Table of Contents

The Company uses the par value method of accounting for its stock repurchases. As a result of the stock repurchases, the Company reduced common stock and additional paid-in capital and recorded charges to retained earnings. The shares retired, aggregate common stock and additional paid-in capital reductions, and related charges to retained earnings for the repurchases for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

(5) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

(7) Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset or pay in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

Level 1—

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2—

observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Some of the Company’s marketable securities primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities.

Level 3—

unobservable inputs.

All of the Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based on other observable inputs. For Level 2 securities, the Company uses a third party pricing service which provides

documentation on an ongoing basis that includes, among other things, pricing information with respect to reference data, methodology, inputs summarized by asset class, pricing application and corroborative information. The Company reviews, tests and validates this information. The following table sets forth the fair value of the financial assets that the Company re-measured on a regular basis:

(8) Income Taxes

In order to determine the Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an estimated annual effective tax rate that is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter during which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $13.9 million, or approximately 37% of pre-tax income, compared to $33.8 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2013, or approximately 40% of pre-tax income. Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $23.8 million, or approximately 37% of pre-tax income, compared to $62.1 million, or approximately 37% of pre-tax income. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 is based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2015, adjusted by discrete items recognized during the period. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s recognized effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes and the impact from the exclusion of certain losses incurred from our international operations offset by the benefits realized from the timing differences related to the recognition of the tax effect of equity compensation expense from incentive stock options and the deduction realized when those options are disqualified upon exercise and sale.

The Company files U.S., foreign and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations. The Company’s New Jersey State income tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2007 through 2013 are currently under examination by the New Jersey State Department of Taxation and Finance. Annual and interim tax provisions include amounts considered necessary to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns; however, the amount ultimately paid upon resolution of issues may differ materially from the amount accrued. The Company’s U.S. federal tax return and other state tax returns are not currently under examination.

(9) Acquisition

On February 28, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of privately-held Crescendo Bioscience, Inc. (“Crescendo”), pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 2, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Myriad acquired Crescendo for total consideration of $259.0 million.

The following table reconciles consideration transferred to the total cash paid to acquire Crescendo:

Total cash paid

$ 263,574

The total consideration of $259 million consisted of (i) $225.1 million in cash, (ii) $25.9 million in elimination of intercompany balances related to accrued interest and the term loan the Company issued to Crescendo on September 8, 2011, and (iii) $8 million related to the fair value of the purchase option granted to the Company on September 8, 2011 by Crescendo through a definitive merger agreement (“Option Agreement”) entered into in association with the term note. Of the cash consideration, $20 million was deposited into an escrow account to fund (i) any post-closing adjustments payable to Myriad based upon differences between the estimated working capital and the actual working capital of Crescendo at closing, and (ii) any indemnification claims made by Myriad against Crescendo, for a period of time, based upon the completion of an audit of Crescendo’s financial statements, of no fewer than twelve nor more than fifteen months following closing.

Of the total cash paid, $6.9 million was accounted for as share-based compensation expense resulting from the accelerated vesting of employee options immediately prior to the acquisition and $5.7 million was accounted for as change of control bonuses paid to Crescendo employees and directors. The Company recognized the share-based compensation expense and change of control bonuses in post-acquisition consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended June 30, 2014.

Total consideration transferred was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values at the acquisition date as set forth below. The Company believes that the acquisition of Crescendo facilitates the Company’s entry into the high growth autoimmune market, diversifies its product revenue and enhances its strength in protein-based diagnostics. These factors contributed to consideration transferred in excess of the fair value of Crescendo’s net tangible and intangible assets acquired, resulting in the Company recording goodwill in connection with the transaction.

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

We are a leading molecular diagnostic company dedicated to making a difference in patients’ lives through the discovery and commercialization of novel, transformative tests across major diseases. We believe in improving healthcare for patients by providing physicians with important information to address unmet medical needs. Through our proprietary technologies, we believe we are positioned to identify important disease genes, the proteins they produce, and the biological pathways in which they are involved to better understand the genetic basis of human disease and the role that genes and their related proteins may play in the onset and progression of disease. We believe that identifying these biomarkers (DNA, RNA and proteins) will enable us to develop novel molecular diagnostic tests.

Our goal is to provide physicians with critical information to better guide the healthcare management of their patients by addressing four major concerns a patient may have about their healthcare: (1) what is the likelihood of my getting a disease, (2) do I have a disease, (3) how aggressively should my disease be treated, and (4) which therapy will work best to treat my disease. We have developed and are developing new molecular diagnostic tests that are designed to assess an individual’s risk for developing disease later in life (predictive medicine), accurately diagnose disease (diagnostic medicine), identify a patient’s likelihood of responding to a particular therapy and assess if a patient will benefit from a particular therapy (personalized medicine), and assess a patient’s risk of disease progression and disease recurrence (prognostic medicine).

Our business strategy for future growth is focused on three key initiatives. First, we are working to grow our existing products and markets. Second, we are expanding our business globally with an international direct sales force and through distributors. Finally, we are developing new molecular diagnostic tests across a diverse set of disease indications, complementing our current businesses in oncology, preventive care, urology, dermatology and rheumatology.

Products and Services

We offer fourteen commercial molecular diagnostic tests, consisting of six predictive medicine tests, three prognostic medicine tests, four personalized medicine tests and one diagnostic medicine test. We market these tests in the United States through our own sales force of approximately 500 people. We have also established commercial laboratory operations in Munich, Germany and international headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. We currently market our myRisk TM , i BRAC Analysis TM (BART ® has been integrated with BRACAnalysis ® ), COLARIS ® , COLARIS AP ® , Prolaris ® , EndoPredict ® and Tumor BRAC Analysis CDx TM products through our own sales force in Europe and Canada and have entered into distributor agreements with organizations in select countries throughout the rest of the world.

Our fourteen commercial molecular diagnostic tests include:

BRAC Analysis CDx TM , our personalized medicine test for Lynaparza TM (olaparib);

iBRACAnalysis TM , our predictive medicine test for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer;

COLARIS ® , our predictive medicine test for hereditary colorectal and uterine cancer;

COLARIS AP ® , our predictive medicine test for hereditary colorectal cancer;

EndoPredict ® , our prognostic medicine test for breast cancer;

MELARIS ® , our predictive medicine test for hereditary melanoma;

myPath TM Melanoma (myPath), our diagnostic medicine test for diagnosis of melanoma;

myPlan TM Lung Cancer (myPlan), our prognostic medicine test for early stage lung cancer;

myRisk TM Hereditary Cancer (myRisk), our predictive medicine test for multiple hereditary cancers;

PANEXIA ™, our predictive medicine test for pancreatic cancer;

PREZEON ® , our personalized medicine test to assess PTEN status for drug response;

Prolaris ® , our prognostic medicine test for prostate cancer;

Tumor BRACAnalysis CDx TM , our personalized medicine test for use as a companion diagnostic with certain PARP inhibitors, platinum-based drugs and other chemotherapeutic agents; and

Vectra ® DA , our personalized medicine test to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity.

We are also a pioneer in the discovery and development of companion diagnostics that help patients receive the most appropriate therapy. We believe the future of drug development is creating new therapies targeted to a subset of patients

16


Table of Contents

who would most likely benefit from the new therapies based on the identification of novel biomarkers and the development of companion diagnostics tests. Myriad is currently collaborating with approximately 20 major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to develop new drugs based on our companion diagnostic technologies. Myriad also recently received FDA approval of our BRAC Analysis CDx test. This is the first and only FDA approved complex molecular diagnostic test to identify ovarian cancer patients who may benefit from the PARP inhibitor Lynaparza TM (olaparib).

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Myriad RBM, Inc., we provide biomarker discovery and pharmaceutical and clinical services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical research industries utilizing our multiplexed immunoassay technology. Our technology enables us to efficiently screen large sets of clinical samples from both diseased and non-diseased populations against our extensive menu of protein biomarkers. By analyzing the data generated from these tests, we attempt to discover biomarker patterns that may be used to identify patients who would likely respond to a particular therapy.

Recent Developments

On February 3, 2015, we announced that Peter D. Meldrum, president and chief executive officer, notified the board of directors of his decision to retire at the conclusion of the fiscal year on June 30, 2015. Pursuant to our succession plan, the board of directors has unanimously elected Mark C. Capone, currently president of Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc., as Mr. Meldrum’s successor.

Use of Resources

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, we devoted our resources to supporting and growing our molecular diagnostic testing and pharmaceutical and clinical services businesses, as well as to the research and development of future molecular diagnostic and companion diagnostic candidates. We have three reportable operating segments—research, molecular diagnostics and pharmaceutical and clinical services. See Note 6 “Segment and Related Information” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for information regarding these operating segments.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, we had net income of $24.0 million and $40.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.32 and $0.53, compared to net income of $50.4 million and $105.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.66 and $1.33 per share in the same period in the prior year. Net income and diluted earnings per share results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 included income tax expense of $13.9 million and $23.8 million compared to $33.8 million and $62.1 million for the same period in the prior year.

Share Repurchase Program

In November 2013, we announced that our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase an additional $300 million of our outstanding common stock increasing our total share repurchase authorization to $1 billion. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, we repurchased $58.3 million and $104.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In connection with our stock repurchase program our board of directors authorized us to repurchase shares from time to time or on an accelerated basis through open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions as determined by our management. The amount and timing of stock repurchases under the program will depend on business and market conditions, stock price, trading restrictions, acquisition activity and other factors. See also “Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds – Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.”

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those policies which are both important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. No significant changes to our accounting policies took place during the period. For a further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

Revenue

Revenue is comprised of sales of our molecular diagnostic tests and our pharmaceutical and clinical services. Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $184.4 million, compared to $204.1 million for the same three months in the prior year. The 10% decrease in total revenue is primarily due to the loss of a one-time bolus of our iBRACAnalysis samples generated by celebrity publicity in the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in hereditary cancer testing was partially offset by the addition of the VectraDA revenue from the acquisition of Crescendo included in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014 but not in the prior year period. The 34% decrease in pharmaceutical and clinical services revenue was due to the completion of a large pharmaceutical project in the prior year as well as the timing of research projects with our pharmaceutical partners which can fluctuate from period to period.

Revenue of our molecular diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical and clinical services and revenue by product category as a percent of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

We are transitioning our hereditary cancer market from single cancer tests to our cancer panel test, myRisk. myRisk test revenues increased 640% 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, we successfully transitioned a large percentage of our iBRACAnalysis tests to myRisk, resulting in iBRACAnalysis revenue of $72.5 million in this quarter compared to $165.9 million in the same quarter of the prior year. We also transitioned approximately one half of our 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 prior year. We expect that revenues may continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter as we transition from single cancer testing to our cancer panel test and introduce new products.

Our molecular diagnostic revenues are generated primarily in three major markets, oncology, preventive care, and rheumatology. Oncology, preventive care and rheumatology revenue was 47%, 47% and 6% of total molecular diagnostic testing revenue, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2014. Sales of molecular diagnostic tests in each major market for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

The decline in the oncology and preventive care markets resulted from the one-time benefit of celebrity publicity as described above, as well as increased competition.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, laboratory supplies, equipment costs and facilities expense. Cost of molecular diagnostic testing revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $35.1 million, compared to $22.8 million for the same three months in 2013. This increase of 54% in molecular diagnostic testing cost of revenue is primarily due to the transition costs associated with the myRisk test and costs associated with Prolaris and other new tests for which reimbursement has not yet been secured. Cost of revenue was also impacted by the addition of the VectraDA test to our product line, which has not received full reimbursement. Our cost of revenue may continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the introduction of new molecular diagnostic tests, changes in reimbursement rates, changes in testing volumes in the molecular diagnostic markets and as we gain economies of scale and increased efficiencies through automation. Our costs of pharmaceutical and clinical services include similar items. Cost of pharmaceutical and clinical services for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $2.8 million, compared to $3.4 million for the same three months in 2013. This 18% decrease in pharmaceutical and clinical testing cost of revenue is primarily due to the 34% decrease in pharmaceutical and clinical services revenue.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we initiated a national launch of our myRisk Hereditary Cancer test. As a result of this launch, test volumes for myRisk have increased rapidly to represent more than 50% of all hereditary cancer samples received. The higher than anticipated test volumes for myRisk have led to increased turnaround times and increased costs to perform the test. We have responded to the increased demand by hiring additional staff and purchasing more equipment. We increased our laboratory capacity significantly throughout the second fiscal quarter which should lead to improvements in turnaround times in the second half of fiscal 2015.

Our gross profit margins were 79.5% at December 31, 2014, compared to 87.2% in the same three months of the prior year. Gross profit margins were impacted primarily due to the additional costs associated with the transition to myRisk, the launch of a new test for which reimbursement has not been obtained and the addition of the VectraDA test to the product mix, which is performed at a lower margin. There can be no assurance that gross profit margins will decrease, increase or remain at current levels.

Our research and development expenses include costs incurred in formulating, improving and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of our current molecular diagnostic tests and costs incurred for the discovery, validation and development of our pipeline of molecular diagnostic and companion diagnostic test candidates and our pharmaceutical and clinical services. Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, laboratory supplies, clinical trial costs, equipment, and facilities costs. Research and development expenses incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $17.5 million compared to $17.1 million for same three months in 2013. This increase of 2% was primarily due to the following:

an increase of $3.3 million in research and development expenses from the acquisition of Crescendo which occurred in February 2014; and

a decrease of approximately $2.9 million in internal development activities and clinical studies related to our molecular diagnostic products and pharmaceutical and clinical services.

We expect that our research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues may increase over the next several years as we continue to develop our pipeline and expand our offerings of molecular diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical and clinical services.

Table of Contents

Our sales, general and administrative expenses include costs associated with building our molecular diagnostic and pharmaceutical and clinical services businesses domestically and internationally. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related personnel costs for sales, marketing, customer service, billing and collection, executive, legal, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, and allocated facilities expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $92.7 million, compared to $77.8 million for the same three months in 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense of 19% was due primarily to the following:

an increase of $13.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses from the acquisition of Crescendo that occurred in February 2014;

an increase of approximately $4.2 million in other general administrative expenses including share based compensation, legal fees and other expenses;

$3.1 million in share based compensation expense related to the acceleration of vesting of certain options for the former Chief Financial Officer;

a decrease of approximately $3.4 million in bad debt expense associated with the decrease in revenue and improved collection efforts; and

a decrease of approximately $2.1 million in sales and marketing expense due to a decrease in commission expense.

We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and that such increases may be substantial, depending on the number and scope of any new molecular diagnostic test launches, our efforts in support of our existing molecular diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical and clinical services as well as our continued international expansion efforts.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $1.6 million compared to $1.1 million in the same period of the prior year. The $0.5 million increase is due to foreign exchange gains relating to a pledged account partially offset by interest income recorded from the note receivable from Crescendo that was extinguished with the closing of the acquisition in February 2014.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $13.9 million, for an effective income tax rate of approximately 37%, compared to income tax expense of $33.8 million or a 40% effective income tax rate in the same period in 2013. Our quarterly effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to a state income tax impact and an impact from exclusion of certain losses incurred from our international operations offset by research and development credits realized from the extension of the credit in December 2014. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

Revenue

Revenue is comprised of sales of our molecular diagnostic tests and our pharmaceutical and clinical services. Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $353.2 million, compared to $406.5 million for the same six months in the prior year. The 13% decrease in revenue is primarily due to turnaround times associated with the transition of the hereditary cancer market to our myRisk test as well as the loss of the one-time bolus generated by celebrity publicity in the six months ended December 31, 2013 that did not continue into the six month period ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in hereditary cancer testing was offset by the addition of the VectraDA revenue from the acquisition of Crescendo. The 45% decrease in pharmaceutical and clinical services revenue was due to the completion of a large pharmaceutical project in the prior year as well as the timing of research projects with our pharmaceutical partners which can fluctuate from period to period.

Our molecular diagnostic revenues are generated primarily in three major markets, oncology, preventive care, and rheumatology. Oncology, preventive care and rheumatology revenue was 49%, 45% and 6% of total molecular diagnostic testing revenue, respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2014. Sales of molecular diagnostic tests in each major market for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

The decline in the oncology and preventive care markets were impacted by the transition to myRisk and the reduced volumes from celebrity publicity as described above, as well as increased competition.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, laboratory supplies, royalty payments, equipment costs and facilities expense. Cost of molecular diagnostic testing revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $67.8 million, compared to $44.2 million for the same six months in 2013. This increase of 53% in molecular diagnostic testing cost of revenue is primarily due to the transition costs associated with the myRisk test including the increase in work in progress as a result of capacity constraints and costs associated with Prolaris and other new tests for which reimbursement has not yet been secured. Cost of revenue was also impacted by the addition of the VectraDA test to our product line, which has not received full reimbursement. Our cost of revenue may continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the introduction of new molecular diagnostic tests, changes in reimbursement rates, changes in testing volumes in the molecular diagnostic segments and as we gain economies of scale and increased efficiencies through automation. Our costs of pharmaceutical and clinical services include similar items. Cost of pharmaceutical and clinical services for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $4.9 million, compared to $7.4 million for the same six months in 2013. This 34% decrease in pharmaceutical and clinical testing cost of revenue is primarily due to the 45% decrease in pharmaceutical and clinical services revenue.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we initiated a national launch of our myRisk Hereditary Cancer test. As a result of this launch, test volumes for myRisk have increased rapidly to represent more than 50% of all hereditary cancer samples

received. The higher than anticipated test volumes for myRisk have led to increased turnaround times and increased costs to perform the test. We have responded to the increased demand by hiring additional staff and purchasing more equipment. We increased our laboratory capacity significantly throughout the second fiscal quarter which should lead to improvements in turnaround times in the second half of fiscal 2015.

Our gross profit margins were 79.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to 87.3% in the same six months of the prior year. Gross profit margins were impacted by the change in product mix primarily due to the additional costs associated with the transition to myRisk, the launch of new tests for which reimbursement has not been obtained and the addition of the VectraDA test to the product mix, which is at a lower margin.

Our research and development expenses include costs incurred in formulating, improving and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of our current molecular diagnostic tests and costs incurred for the discovery, validation and development of our pipeline of molecular diagnostic and companion diagnostic test candidates and our pharmaceutical and clinical services. Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, laboratory supplies, clinical trial costs, equipment, and facilities costs. Research and development expenses incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $40.1 million compared to $33.9 million for same six months in 2013. This increase of 18% was primarily due to the following:

an increase of $7.0 million in research and development expenses from the acquisition of Crescendo which occurred in February 2014; and

a decrease of approximately $0.8 million in internal development activities and clinical studies related to current molecular diagnostic products and pharmaceutical and clinical services.

Our research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues may increase over the next several years as we continue to develop our pipeline and expand our offerings of molecular diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical and clinical services.

Our sales, general and administrative expenses include costs associated with building our molecular diagnostic and pharmaceutical and clinical services businesses domestically and internationally. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related personnel costs for sales, marketing, customer service, billing and collection, executive, legal, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, and allocated facilities expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $178.1 million, compared to $155.1 million for the same six months in 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense of 15% was due primarily to the following:

an increase of $25.0 million in selling, general and administrative expenses from the acquisition of Crescendo that occurred in February 2014;

$3.1 million in share based compensation expense related to the acceleration of vesting for certain options for the former Chief Financial Officer;

an increase of approximately $2.9 million in other general administrative expenses including sales and marketing, share based compensation, international and other general expenses; and

a decrease of approximately $7.9 million in bad debt expense associated with the decrease in revenue and improved collection efforts.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $1.6 million compared to $2.1 million in the same period of the prior year. The $0.5 million decrease is due to interest income recorded from the note receivable from Crescendo that was extinguished with the closing of the acquisition in February 2014 partially offset by foreign exchange gains relating to our pledged account.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $23.8 million, for an effective income tax rate of approximately 37%, compared to income tax expense of $62.1 million or a 37% effective income tax rate in the same period in 2013. Our quarterly effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to a state income tax impact and an impact from exclusion of certain losses incurred from our international operations offset by the benefits realized from the timing differences related to the recognition of the tax effect of equity compensation expense from the disqualification of incentive stock options and the research and development credits realized from the extension of the credit in December 2014. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable investment securities were $207.4 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $270.6 million at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $63.2 million. This decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable investment securities was attributable to the purchase of $104.0 million of our common stock under our share repurchase programs and $21.6 million for a specific contractual obligation offset by our cash collections from sales of molecular diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical and clinical services.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $59.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $138.0 million during the same six months in 2013. Our cash from operations was impacted by a decrease in net income compared to the six months ended December 31, 2013 and non-cash charges in the form of accrued liabilities of $15.2 million associated with the payment of personnel costs including commissions and bonuses.

Our investing activities provided cash of $18.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to providing cash of $2.3 million during the same six months in 2013. Investing activities were comprised of $21.6 million in funding a pledged cash account reserved for a specific contractual obligation which has certain contingencies that must be met in the future, capital expenditures for equipment and facilities of $17.4 million to support expanded myRisk testing volumes, offset by the net proceeds from the maturity, purchases and sales of marketable investment securities of $57.9 million.

Financing activities used cash of $81.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2014 and $173.1 million in the same six months in 2013. Cash utilized in financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2014 was primarily due to the purchase of $104.0 million of our common stock through our share repurchase programs partially offset by $20.2 million from cash provided primarily by the exercise of stock options.

We believe that our existing capital resources and net cash expected to be generated from sales of our molecular diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical and clinical services will be adequate to fund our current and planned operations for the next several years, although no assurance can be given that changes will not occur that would consume available capital resources more quickly than we currently expect and that we may need or want to raise additional funds. Our future capital requirements, cash flows, and results of operations could be affected by and will depend on many factors that are currently unknown to us, including:

increased competition in our major markets or the introduction of technological innovations or new commercial tests by our competitors;

declines in revenue or margins in our molecular diagnostic testing and pharmaceutical and clinical services businesses;

termination of the licenses underlying our molecular diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical and clinical services or failure to enter into product or technology licensing or other arrangements favorable to us;

unexpected backlog, delays or other problems with operating our laboratory facilities;

costs and expenses incurred in supporting our existing molecular diagnostic tests and pharmaceutical and clinical services;

progress, results and cost of transitioning from our current single cancer tests to our new cancer panel test, myRisk, as well as developing and launching additional molecular diagnostic tests and offering additional pharmaceutical and clinical services;

potential business development activities, in-licensing agreements and acquisitions, such as our acquisition of Crescendo;

PART II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

BRCA1 and BRCA2 Based Hereditary Cancer Test Patent Multi-District Litigation

We are presently involved in a Multi-District Litigation matter in the United States District Court for the District of Utah (the “Utah Federal Court”) captioned In re: BRCA1- and BRCA2-Based Hereditary Cancer Test Patent Litigation that consolidates five lawsuits filed by us and the University of Utah Research Foundation, HSC Research and Development Limited Partnership (an affiliate of Hospital For Sick Children), the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, and Endorecherche, Inc. (collectively, the “Patent Owners”) in the Utah Federal Court seeking to enforce the Patent Owners’ and our rights relating to the BRCA 1, BRCA 2 and MUTYH genes and three declaratory judgment actions filed in other courts by third parties seeking a determination that they do not infringe various BRCA 1, BRCA 2 and MUTYH patent claims owned by us and the Patent Owners and that these patent claims are invalid. These consolidated cases are proceeding forward in the Utah Federal Court for all pretrial matters.

There have been no material developments in the legal proceedings involving Ambry Genetics Corporation, Counsyl, Inc., Quest Diagnostics Incorporated and Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute, GeneDX, Inc., Invitae Corporation, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings and Pathway Genomics Corporation, disclosed in Part II, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2014, except as follows:

On December 17, 2014, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”) ruled that some of the key patent claims at issue in the case were directed to ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. §101. We and the Patent Owners have not yet decided whether to seek rehearing en banc and/or to seek a writ of certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court with regard to this decision.

Because of the impact of the Federal Circuit’s decision on further proceedings in the Multi-District Litigation, and at the request of the parties, on December 23, 2014, the Utah Federal Court ordered a stay as to certain claim construction and discovery deadlines and further ordered the parties to submit briefing on the 35 U.S.C. §101 issues in light of the decision of the Federal Circuit.

We and the Patent Owners have entered into settlement agreements with Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Pathway Genomics Corporation, Invitae Corporation, Ambry Genetics Corporation, and Counsyl, Inc., providing for the dismissal of the litigation with each party and releasing each other party of its claims and counterclaims brought in the litigation. Each party is to bear its own attorney fees and costs of the litigation. The settlement agreements also provided for a covenant to not sue on the patents asserted in the litigation against each party. On January 26, 2015, the Utah Federal Court entered its order for the dismissal of the litigation proceedings involving Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Pathway Genomics Corporation, and Invitae Corporation, thus ending the litigation with these parties. On January 30, 2015, the Utah Federal Court entered its order for the dismissal of the litigation proceedings involving Ambry Genetics Corporation and Counsyl, Inc., thus ending the litigation with these parties.

We and the Patent Owners are currently in settlement discussions with GeneDX, Inc. and Quest Diagnostics Incorporated and Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute, but no agreement has been reached and no assurances can be made that the parties will agree to settle their dispute.

Other than as set forth above, we are not a party to any other legal proceedings that we believe will have a material impact on our business, financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.
