Summary of patient test volume by product

Key non-audited consolidated financial information
As of or for the nine months ended September 30

¹ 2017 included $12.1 million one-time revenue from the sale of patents to Exact Sciences

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30 was $24 million compared to normalized total revenue of $18.4 million during the same period in 2017. Including the one-time $12.1 million revenue from the sale of patents to Exact Sciences, total revenue for the nine months of 2017 amounted to $30.5 million. Product and services revenue of $23.4 million rose 29% compared to $18.2 million in the same period last year. Revenue from ConfirmMDx and SelectMDx amounted to $22.1 million an increase of 26% from $17.6 million a year earlier. Revenue from ConfirmMDx represented 92% of product revenue. Product revenue from SelectMDx grew 43% to $1.7 million reflecting consistent growth of patient test volumes of 35% in the US and 92% in Europe, where the billable rate increased to 48% compared to 39% during the first six months of 2018.

Operating expenses for the first nine months amounted to $37.7 million, an increase of $7.2 million, largely related to the expansion of the Company's commercial operations, including the build-out of the US sales force, and increased amortization charges on internally developed intangible assets.

Outlook

With SelectMDx and ConfirmMDx being the drivers of testing volume growth, the Company predicts that both solutions will continue to increase market share in the mid-to-longer term. We expect a significant increase in our SelectMDx test volume in the US after the completion and planned publication of one of our large clinical validation studies in Q1 2019. This study and other clinical studies are key for the inclusion of SelectMDx in the US clinical guidelines, a driver of sales and payor coverage. The Company remains on course to achieve growth in product and services revenue, although more challenging visibility in the latter part of the year makes it harder to predict whether the rate of growth will exceed that of the previous year.
