SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. All statements contained in this report other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to, statements about:

our ability to leverage and extend our immune medicine platform to discover, develop and commercialize our products and services, including further commercialization and development of products and services related to our Minimal Residual Disease (“MRD”) and Immune Medicine business areas, particularly in light of the novelty of immune medicine and our methods;
our ability to achieve and maintain commercial market acceptance of our current products and services, such as clonoSEQ and Adaptive Immunosequencing, as well as our ability to achieve market acceptance for any additional products and services beyond our current portfolio, if developed;
our collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) and our ability to develop and commercialize cellular therapeutics, including our ability to achieve milestones and realize the intended benefits of the collaboration;
our ability to realize payments, such as milestone fees, based on our customers' use of our technologies in connection with their achievement of research or regulatory goals relating to their own products;
our ability to develop a comprehensive map of the interaction between the immune system and disease (the “TCR-Antigen Map”) and yield insights from it that are commercially viable; and
our expected reliance on collaborators and other third parties for development, clinical testing and regulatory approval of current products in new indications and potential product candidates, which may fail at any time due to a number of possible unforeseen events.

The forward-looking statements in this report also include statements regarding our ability to develop, commercialize and achieve market acceptance of our current and planned products and services, our research and development efforts and other matters regarding our business strategies, use of capital, results of operations and financial position and plans and objectives for future operations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors are described under “Risk Factors,” “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,”Operations” and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time. We caution you that forward-looking statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain. As a result, the forward-looking statements may not prove to be accurate. The forward-looking statements in this report represent our views as of the date of this report.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, references to “we,” “us,” “our” and similar references refer to Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation.

1.

OrganizationandDescription of Business

Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation (“we,” “us” or “our”) is a commercial-stage company advancing the field of immune-drivenimmune medicine by harnessing the inherent biology of the adaptive immune system to transform the diagnosis and treatment of disease. We believe the adaptive immune system is nature’s most finely tuned diagnostic and therapeutic for most diseases, but the inability to decode it has prevented the medical community from fully leveraging its capabilities. Our immune medicine platform isapplies our proprietary technologies to read the foundation fordiverse genetic code of a patient’s immune system and understand precisely how the immune system detects and treats disease in that patient. We capture these insights in our expanding suite ofdynamic clinical immunomics database and related antigen annotations, which are underpinned by computational biology and machine learning, and use them to develop and commercialize clinical products and services. The cornerstoneservices that can be tailored to the needs of our immune medicine platformindividual patients. We have commercial products and core immunosequencing product, immunoSEQ, servesservices and a robust pipeline of clinical products and services that we are designing to diagnose, monitor and enable the treatment of diseases, such as our underlying researchcancer and development engine and generates revenue from academic and biopharmaceutical customers. Our first clinical diagnostic product, clonoSEQ, is the first test authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the detection and monitoring of minimal residual disease (“MRD”) in patients with select blood cancers.autoimmune disorders.

Basisof Presentation andUseof Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States of America (“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 condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. We base our estimates on historical experience and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are used in several areas including, but not limited to, estimates of progress to date for certain performance obligations and the transaction price for certain contracts with customers, share-based compensation, including the fair value of stock, andimputing interest for our revenue interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) that we entered into in September 2022, the provision for income taxes, including related reserves, the analysis of goodwill impairment and goodwill,the recoverability and impairment of long-lived assets, among others. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve the analysis of historical results and prediction of future trends, can require extended periods of time to resolve and are subject to change from period to period. Actual results may differ materially from management’s estimates.

Segment Information

We operate as two operating and reportable segments: MRD and Immune Medicine. We have determined that our chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM reviews operating results and other financial information presented at the MRD and Immune Medicine segment level, as well as on a consolidated basis, to make resource allocation decisions. The MRD and Immune Medicine segments are also our two reporting units.

Restricted Cash

We had a restricted cash balance of $3.0 million and $Equivalents2.9 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Our restricted cash primarily relates to certain balances we are required to maintain under lease arrangements for some of our property and facility leases.

Goodwill

CashGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net amount of attributed identifiable assets acquired and cash equivalents are statedliabilities assumed in a business combination measured at fair value. Cash equivalents include only securities havingWe assess goodwill for impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances would more likely than not reduce the fair value of one or both of our reporting units below their respective carrying value. We evaluate goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of one or both of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying amount. If we so determine, or if we choose to bypass the qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If impairment exists, the carrying value of the allocated goodwill is reduced to its fair value through an original maturityimpairment charge recorded in the consolidated statements of three months or less at the timeoperations. To date, we have not recognized any impairment of purchase. We limit our credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by placing our investments with banks that we believe are highly creditworthy and with highly rated money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents primarily consistgoodwill.

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with CustomersRecognition. Under ASC 606, for

For all revenue-generating contracts, we perform the following steps to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized: (i)(1) identify the contract or contracts; (ii)(2) determine whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii)(3) measure the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv)(4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v)(5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation. The following is a summary of the application of the respective model to each of our revenue classifications.

10


Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation

Overview

Our revenue is generated from immunosequencing (“sequencing”) products and services (“sequencing revenue”) and from regulatory or development support services leveraging our immune medicine platform (“development revenue”). When revenue generating contracts have elements of both sequencing revenue and development revenue, we allocate revenue based on the nature of the performance obligation and the allocated transaction price.

SequencingRevenue

Sequencing revenue reflects the amounts generated from providing sequencing services and testing through our immunoSEQ and clonoSEQ products and services to our research and clinical customers, respectively.

For research customers, contracts typically include an amount billed in advance of services (“upfront”), and subsequent billings as sample results are delivered to the customer. Upfront amounts received are recorded as deferred revenue, which we recognize as revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. We have identified two typical performance obligations under the terms of our

research service contracts: sequencing services and related data analysis. We recognize revenue for both identified performance obligations as sample results are delivered to the customer.(unaudited)

For other

We derive revenue by providing diagnostic and research customers who choose to purchase a research use only kit, the kits are sold on a price per kit basis with amounts payable upon deliveryservices in our Minimal Residual Disease (“MRD”) and Immune Medicine business areas. Our MRD revenue consists of the kit. Payments received are recorded as deferred revenue. For these customers, we have identified one performance obligation: the delivery of sample results. We recognize revenue as the results are delivered to the customer based on a proportion of the estimated samples that can be reported on for each kit.

For clinical customers, we derive revenuesgenerated from (1) providing our clonoSEQ testreport to clinical customers; (2) providing MRD sample testing services to biopharmaceutical customers and certain academic institutions, including investigator-led clinical trials; and (3) providing our clonoSEQ report or results to certain international laboratory sites through technology transfers. Our Immune Medicine revenue consists of revenue generated from (1) providing sample testing services for our commercial research product, Adaptive Immunosequencing, to biopharmaceutical customers and academic institutions; and (2) our collaboration agreements with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) and other biopharmaceutical customers in areas of drug and target discovery.

For agreements where we provide our clonoSEQ report to ordering physicians, and we bill and receive payments from commercial third-party payors and medical institutions. In these transactions, we have identified one performance obligation: the delivery of a clonoSEQ report. We bill and receive payments for these transactions from commercial, government and medical institution payors. As payment from the respective payors may vary based on the various reimbursement rates and patient responsibilities, we consider the transaction price to be variable and record an estimate of the transaction price, subject to the constraint for variable consideration, as revenue at the time of delivery. The estimate of transaction price is based on historical and expected reimbursement rates with the various payors, which are monitored in subsequent periods and adjusted, as necessary, based on actual collection experience.

In January 2019,Regarding our clonoSEQ receivedcoverage under Medicare, coverage aligned with the FDA label and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (“NCCN”) guidelines for longitudinal monitoring in multiple myeloma (“MM”) and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (“ALL”). Wewe bill Medicare for an episode of treatment when we deliver the first eligible test results.report. This billing contemplates all necessary tests required during a patient’s treatment cycle, which is currently estimated at approximately four tests per patient, including the initial sequence identification test. Revenue is recognizedrecognition commences at the time the initial billable test resultreport is delivered and is based upon cumulative tests delivered to date.

These estimates are subject to tests delivered in periods prior to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.change as we develop more information about utilization over time. Any unrecognized revenue from the initial billable test is recorded as deferred revenue and is recognized either as we deliver our estimate of the remaining tests in a patient’s treatment cycle.cycle or when the likelihood becomes remote that a patient will receive additional testing.

DevelopmentRevenue

We derive revenue by providing services through development agreements to biopharmaceutical customers who seek access to our immune medicine platform technologies. We generate revenues from the delivery of professional support activities pertaining to the use of our proprietary immunoSEQ and clonoSEQ services in the development of the respective customers’ initiatives. The contract transaction price for these contractsagreements we enter into with biopharmaceutical customers to further develop and commercialize their therapeutics may consist of a combination of non-refundable upfront fees, separately priced sequencingMRD testing fees progress based milestones and milestone fees earned upon our customers’ achievement of certain regulatory milestones. The developmentapprovals. Depending on the contract, these agreements may include single or multiple performance obligations. Such performance obligations depending on the contract. For certain contracts, we may performinclude providing services to support the biopharmaceuticalour customers’ regulatory submission as part of their registrational trials. These services includetherapeutic development efforts, including regulatory support pertaining tofor our technology intended to be utilized as part of the submission, development ofour customers’ registrational trials, developing analytical plans for our sequencing data, participationparticipating on joint research committees, and assistanceassisting in completing a regulatory submission.submission and providing MRD testing services related to customer-provided samples for our customers' regulatory submissions. Generally, thesethe support services, excluding MRD testing services, are not distinct within the context of the contract and theythus are accounted for as a single performance obligation.

When sequencing services are separately priced customer options, we assess if a material right exists and, if not, the customer option to purchase additional sequencing services is not considered part of the contract. Except for any non-refundable upfront fees, the other forms of compensation represent variable consideration. Variable consideration related to progress based and regulatory milestones is estimated using the most likely amount method where variable consideration is constrained until it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Progress milestones such as the first sample result delivered or final patient enrollment in a customer trial are customer dependent and are included in the transaction price when the respective milestone is probable of occurring. Milestone payments that are not within our customers’ control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. Determining whether regulatory milestone payments are probable is an area that requires significant judgment. In making this assessment, we evaluate the scientific, clinical, regulatory and other risks that must be managed, as well as the level of effort and investment required to achieve the respective milestone.

AdaptiveBiotechnologiesCorporation

Notesto Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price for performance obligations is the adjusted market assessment approach. Using this approach, we evaluate the market in which we sell our services and estimate the price that a customer in that market would be willing to pay for our services. We recognize revenue using either an input or output measure of progress that faithfully depicts performance on a contract, depending on the contract. The measure used is dependent on the nature of the service to be provided in each contract. Selecting the measure of progress and estimating progress to date requires significant judgment.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the anticipated sale of our common stock in the IPO, including the legal, accounting, printing and other IPO-related costs. Deferred offering costs of $4.8 million are capitalized and classified within restricted cash and other assets on the condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2019.

Net LossPer ShareAttributableto CommonShareholders

We calculate our basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. We consider our convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. In the event a dividend is declared or paid on common stock, holders of convertible preferred stock are entitled to a share of such dividend in proportion to the holders of common stock on an as-if converted basis. Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss attributable to common shareholders is determined by allocating undistributed earnings between common and preferred shareholders. The diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method. The net loss attributable to common shareholders was not allocated to the convertible preferred stock under the two-class method as the convertible preferred stock does not have a contractual obligation to share in our losses. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants to purchase common stock or convertible preferred stock are considered common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted AccountingPronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), intended to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statements of cash flows. This guidance also allowed for an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018 and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. We utilized a modified retrospective transition method, recorded the cumulative impact of applying this guidance, and recognized a cumulative increase to additional paid-in capital and an increase to accumulated deficit of $0.1 million.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, intended to simplify the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, goodwill impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, without exceeding the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective January 1, 2022 and is required to be adopted on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have any impact on our financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance is effective for us beginning in 2019, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have any impact on our financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for us in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Although we are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on our financial statements, we believe the most significant changes will be related to the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities related to our operating leases on the balance sheets.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. The guidance is effective for us beginning in 2020, with early adoption permitted. Although we are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance prospectively will have on our financial statements, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), to provide additional guidance on the accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption of the amendments in this update are permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Translational DevelopmentAgreements

On December 18, 2015, we entered into a translational development agreement with a biopharmaceutical customer for access to certain of our oncology immunosequencing research datasets, including full-time employee support, to accelerate the customer’s preclinical, nonclinical and clinical trial testing. Under the initial terms of the agreement we could be entitled to up to $40.0 million over a period of four years which does not include any separately negotiated research sequencing contracts. If the biopharmaceutical customer terminates the agreement prior to the end of the initial four-year research term for any reason other than a material uncured breach by us, then the biopharmaceutical partner has agreed to pay us $0.8 million. In May 2019, the agreement was subsequently amended to reduce the services provided, which in turn reduced the fourth year of eligible payments to $2.3 million.

We identified one performance obligation under this agreement, as the services were determined to be highly interrelated. We determined that any separately negotiated sequencing contracts are not performance obligations under the contract, as the contract did not contain any material rights related to such sequencing contracts. For the identified performance obligation, we assessed the work to be performed over the duration of the contract and determined that it is a consistent level of support throughout the period, and therefore revenue has been recognized straight-line over the contract term.

Revenue recognized from this translational development agreement, excluding separately negotiated research sequencing contracts, was $1.1 million and $2.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.1 million and $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In 2017, we entered into an agreement with a customer to provide services to accelerate its research initiatives. We identified one performance obligation under the agreement, as the services were determined to be highly interrelated. We determined that any separately negotiated sequencing contracts are not performance obligations under the contract, as the contract did not contain any material rights related to such sequencing contracts. Revenue recognized from this agreement, excluding sequencing revenue, was $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

MRD DevelopmentAgreements

In 2017 and 2018, we entered into agreements with biopharmaceutical customers to further develop and commercialize clonoSEQ and the biopharmaceutical customers’ therapeutics. Under each of the agreements, we received or will receive non-refundable upfront payments and could receive substantial additional payments upon reaching certain progress milestones or achievement of certain regulatory milestones pertaining to the customers’ therapeutic and our clonoSEQ test.

Notesto Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

Under the contracts, we identify performance obligations, which may include: (i) obligations to provide services supporting the customer’s regulatory submission activities as they relate to our clonoSEQ test; and (ii) sequencing services for customer-provided samples for their regulatory submissions. The transaction price allocated to the respective performance obligations is estimated using an adjusted market assessment approach for the regulatory support services and a standalone selling price for the estimated immunosequencingMRD testing services. At contract inceptionWhen MRD sample testing services are separately priced customer options, we fully constrained any consideration relatedassess if a material right exists and, if not, the customer option to purchase additional MRD sample testing services is not considered part of the regulatory milestones, as the achievement of such milestones is subject to third-party regulatory approval and the customers’ own submission decision-making.contract. We recognize revenue relatingrelated to the sequencingMRD testing services over time using an output method based on the proportion of sample results delivered relative to the total amount of sample results expected to be delivered, and when expected to be a faithful depiction of progress. We use the same method to recognize the regulatory support services. When an output method based on the proportion of sample results delivered is not expected to be a faithful depiction of progress, we utilize an input method using a cost-based model based on estimates of effort completedcompleted. Selecting the measure of progress and estimating progress to date requires significant judgment. Except for any non-refundable upfront fees, the other forms of compensation represent variable consideration. At contract inception, we fully constrain any consideration related to regulatory milestones, as the achievement of such milestones is subject to third-party regulatory approval and the customers’ own submission decision-making. Variable consideration related to regulatory milestones is estimated using the most likely amount method, where variable consideration is constrained until it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur. Milestone payments for regulatory approvals, which are not within our customers’ control, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. Determining whether regulatory milestone payments are probable is an area that requires significant judgment. In making this assessment, we evaluate scientific, clinical, regulatory and other risks, as well as the level of effort and investment required to achieve the respective milestone.

For research customers who utilize either our MRD or Adaptive Immunosequencing services, contracts typically include an amount billed in advance of services (“upfront”) and subsequent billings as sample results are delivered to the customer. Upfront amounts received are recorded as deferred revenue, which we recognize as revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. We have identified two typical performance obligations under the terms of our research service contracts: (1) the delivery of our MRD data or Adaptive Immunosequencing for customer provided samples; and (2) related data analysis. We recognize revenue for both identified performance obligations as sample results are delivered to the customer. In periods where our sample estimates are reduced or a customer project is cancelled and, in either case, we have remaining related deferred revenue, we recognize revenue using a cost-based model.cumulative catch-up approach based on the proportion of samples delivered to date relative to the total samples expected to be delivered.

We may be eligible to receive more than $1.8$1.8 billion over time, including payments of up to $75.0$65.0 million upon the achievement of specified regulatory milestones, up to $300.0$300.0 million upon the achievement of specified development milestones and up to $1,430.0$1,430.0 million upon the achievement of specified commercial milestones. In addition, we are separately able to receive tiered royalties at a rate ranging from the mid-single digits to the mid-teens on aggregate worldwide net sales of products arising from the strategic collaboration, subject to certain reductions, with aggregate minimum floors. Under the agreement,Genentech Agreement, we are pursuing two product development pathways for novel T cell immunotherapiestherapeutic products in which Genentech intends to use T cell receptors (“TCRs”) screened by our immune medicine platform to engineer and manufacture cellular medicines:

Shared Products. The shared products will use “off-the-shelf” TCRs identified against cancer antigens shared among patients (“Shared Products”).
Personalized Product. The personalized product will use patient-specific TCRs identified by real-time screening of TCRs against cancer antigens in each patient (“Personalized Product”).

Shared Products. The shared products will use “off-the-shelf” TCRs identified against cancer antigens shared among patients (“Shared Products”).

Personalized Product. The personalized product will use patient-specific TCRs identified by real-time screening of TCRs against cancer antigens in each patient (“Personalized Product”).

Under the terms of the agreement,Genentech Agreement, we granted Genentech exclusive worldwide licenses to develop and commercialize TCR-based cellular therapies in the field of oncology, including licenses to existing shared antigen data packages. Additionally, Genentech has the right to determine which product candidates to further develop for commercialization purposes. We determined that this arrangement meets the criteria set forth in ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”), because both parties are active participants in the activity and are exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the activity’s commercial failure or success. Because ASC 808 does not provide guidance on how to account for the activities under a collaborative arrangement, we applied the guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) to account for the activities related to the Genentech collaboration.Agreement.

In applying ASC 606, we identified the following performance obligations at the inception of the agreement:

1.

License to utilize on an exclusive basis all TCR-specific platform intellectual property to develop and commercialize any licensed products in the field of oncology.

1.
License to utilize on an exclusive basis all TCR-specific platform intellectual property to develop and commercialize any licensed products in the field of oncology.

2.
License to utilize all data and information within each shared antigen data package and any other know-how disclosed by us to Genentech in oncology.

3.

License to utilize all private antigen TCR product data in connection with research and development activities in the field of use.

We determined that none of the licenses, research and development services or obligations to participate on various committees were distinct within the context of the contract, given such rights and activities were highly interrelated and there was substantial additional research and development to further develop the licenses. We considered factors such as the stage of development of the respective existing antigen data packages, the subsequent development that would be required to both identify and submit a potential target for investigational new drug acceptance under both product pathways and the variability in research and development pathways given Genentech’s control of product commercialization. Specifically, under the agreement,Genentech Agreement, Genentech is not required to pursue development or commercialization activities pertaining to both product pathways and may choose to proceed with one or the other as opposed to both.other. Accordingly, we determined that all of the identified performance obligations were attributable to one general performance obligation, which is to further the development of our TCR-specific platform, including data packages, and continue to make our TCR identification process available to Genentech to pursue either product pathway.

Separately, we have a responsibility to Genentech to enter into a supply and manufacturing agreement for patient specificpatient-specific TCRs as it pertains to any Personalized Product therapeutic. We determined this was an option right of Genentech should they pursue commercialization of a Personalized Product therapy. Because of the uncertainty as a result ofresulting from the early stage of development, the novel approach of our collaboration with Genentech and our rights to future commercial milestones and royalty payments, we determined that this option right was not a material right that should be accounted for at inception. As such, we will account for the supply and manufacturing agreement when entered into between the parties.

We determined the initial transaction price shall be made up of only the $300.0$300.0 million upfront, non-refundable payment, as all potential regulatory and development milestone payments were probable of significant revenue reversal asgiven their achievement was highly dependent on factors outside our control. As a result, these payments were fully constrained and were not included in the initial transaction price. In May 2023, one of the regulatory milestones was achieved, resulting in a $10.0 million addition to the transaction price, $7.7 million of which was recognized as ofrevenue in the three months ended June 30, 2019.2023, with the remainder included in deferred revenue to be recognized as revenue over the remaining research and development period. We excludedcontinue to exclude the commercial milestones and potential royalties from the transaction price, as those items relate predominantly to the license rights granted to Genentech and will be assessed when and if such events occur.

As there are potential substantive developments necessary, which Genentech may be able to direct, we determined that we would apply a proportional performance model to recognize revenue for our performance obligation. We measure proportional performance using an input method based on costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of research and development efforts to pursue both the Shared ProductProducts and Personalized Product pathways. When any of the potential regulatory and development milestones are no longer fully constrained and are included in the transaction price, such amounts will be recognized using the cumulative catch-up method based on proportional performance at such time. We currently expect to recognize revenue generated from the revenueGenentech Agreement over a period of approximately seven to eightnine years from the effective date. This estimate of the research and development period considers pursuit options of development activities supporting both the Shared ProductProducts and the Personalized Product, but may be reduced or increased based on the various activities as directed by the joint committees, decisions made by Genentech, regulatory feedback or other factors not currently known.

WeIn total, we recognized revenue of approximately $8.5$4.7 million and $14.8$9.1 million forin Immune Medicine collaboration revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the Genentech collaboration.Agreement. Costs related to the Genentech collaborationAgreement are included in research and development expenses.

Level 1 securities include highly liquid money market funds, which we measure the fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 securities consist of U.S. government debt securities, U.S. government agency bonds, commercial paper and corporate bonds, and are valued based on recent trades of securities in inactive markets or based on quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Of the Level 2 commercial paper and U.S. government debt and agency securities balances, $6.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, is recorded as cash and cash equivalents. Level 3 liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of a convertible preferred stock warrant liability. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $2.3 million of expense related to the revaluation of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability in interest and other income, net.

We evaluated our securities for other-than-temporary impairment and considered the decline in market value for the securities to be primarily attributable to current economic and market conditions. It is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities, and we do not intend to do so prior to the recovery of the amortized cost basis. Based on this analysis, these marketable securities were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2019.

All the corporate debt, U.S. government and agency securities and commercial paper have an effective maturity date of less than one year.

We periodically review our available-for-sale securities to assess for credit impairment. Some of the factors considered in assessing impairment include the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, adverse conditions related to the security, an industry or geographic area, changes to security ratings or sector credit ratings and other relevant market data.

As a result of cancelled customer sequencing contracts,March 31, 2024, we did not intend, nor were we more likely than not to be required, to sell our available-for-sale investments before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. Based on our assessment, we concluded all impairment as of March 31, 2024 to be due to factors other than credit loss, such as changes in interest rates. A credit allowance was not recognized $0.8 millionand the impairment of sequencing revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019.our available-for-sale securities was recorded in other comprehensive loss.

8. Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement

In July 2011,September 2022, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities IV, LP (“OrbiMed”), an affiliate of OrbiMed Advisors LLC, as collateral agent and administrative agent for the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we received $125.0 million from the Purchasers at closing, less certain transaction expenses. We are also entitled to receive up to $125.0 million in subsequent installments as follows: (i) $75.0 million upon our request occurring no later than September 12, 2025 and (ii) $50.0 million upon our request in connection with certain permitted acquisitions occurring no later than September 12, 2025, in each case subject to certain funding conditions.

As consideration for such payments, the Purchasers have a non-cancelable lease agreement withright to receive certain revenue interests (the “Revenue Interests”) from us based on a minority shareholder for laboratory and office spacepercentage of all GAAP revenue. Payments in Seattle, Washington. The lease terms were subsequently amended multiple times, most recently in June 2016. The lease terminates in June 2023. The lease also requires us to pay additional amounts for operating and maintenance expenses.

In October 2016, we entered into an agreement to sublease certain laboratory and office space in South San Francisco, California. The lease commenced in October 2016 and terminated in March 2019. The lease required us to pay additional amounts for operating and maintenance expenses.

In April 2018, we entered into a lease agreement to lease additional space in South San Francisco, California. The lease term is through March 2026 and provides for one five-year option. We will be responsible for our share of allocable operating expenses, tax expenses and utilities cost during the durationrespect of the lease term. Revenue Interests shall be made quarterly within 45 days following the end of each fiscal quarter (each, a “Revenue Interest Payment”).

Accounting Treatment

We accounted for the transaction as debt recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

To determine the amortization of the Purchase Agreement obligation, we are required to estimate the amount and timing of future Revenue Interest Payments based on our estimate of the timing and amount of future revenues and calculate an effective interest rate which will amortize the obligation to zero over the amortization period. The calculated effective interest rate as of March 31, 2024 was 9.2%.

In connection with the lease, the landlord funded agreed-upon improvements priorPurchase Agreement, we incurred debt issuance costs of $0.6 million. Debt issuance costs have been recorded to the lease commencement date of December 12, 2018. The landlord was solely responsible for the $2.4 million cost of such improvements, which we recognized as a leasehold improvement asset that depreciates beginning from the commencement date to the initial lease term,debt and a corresponding leasehold incentive obligation, which isare being amortized over the lifeestimated term of the lease.

As of June 30, 2019, future minimum lease payments, exclusive of operatingdebt using the effective interest method, adjusted on a prospective basis for changes in the underlying assumptions and maintenance costs, were as follows (in thousands) (unaudited):inputs.

The assumptions used in determining the expected repayment term of the obligation and amortization period of the issuance costs requires that we make estimates that could impact the short- and long-term classification of these costs, as well as the period over which these costs will be amortized. We periodically assess the amount and timing of expected Revenue Interest Payments based on internal forecasts. To the extent such payments are greater or less than our initial estimates or the timing of such payments is materially different than our original estimates, we will prospectively adjust the amortization of the revenue interest liability and the effective interest rate.

The determination of the grant date fair value of stock options on the date of grantgranted using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the estimated fair value of our common stock, as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables that are complex, subjective and generally require significant judgment to determine. The valuation assumptions were determined as follows:

Fair value of common stock—The grant date fair value of our common stock has been determined by our Board of Directors with input from management. The grant date fair value of the common stock was determined using valuation methodologies which utilize certain assumptions, including probability weighting of events, volatility, time to liquidation, a risk-free interest rate and an assumption for a discount for lack of marketability (Level 3 inputs). In determining the fair value of the common stock, the methodologies used to estimate the enterprise value were performed using methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. For valuations after the closing of our IPO, our board of directors plans to determine the fair value of each share of common stock is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, or other relevant determination date, as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Expected term—The expected lifeterm of stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors is determined using the “simplified” method, as illustrated in ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, as we do not have sufficient exercise history to determine a better estimate of expected term. Under this approach, the expected term is presumed to bebased on the averagemidpoint between the vesting date and the end of the weighted-average vesting term and the contractual term of the stock option.

Risk-free interest rate—We utilize a risk-free interest rate in the option valuation model based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected termterms of the stock options.

Expected volatility—As we do not have sufficient trading history for our common stock, the expected volatility ishas been based on the historical volatility of our publicly traded industry peers utilizing a period of time consistent with our estimate of expected term. Beginning in 2024, expected volatility was based on a weighted average of our historical volatility and the historical volatility of our publicly traded industry peers utilizing a period of time consistent with our estimate of expected term.

13. Segment Information

NotesIn 2024, in connection with an organizational realignment, we began operating our business as two reporting segments: MRD and Immune Medicine. These segments are organized by market opportunity in commercial diagnostics and drug discovery, respectively.

The MRD business focuses on the use of our highly sensitive, next-generation sequencing assay to measure MRD in patients with hematologic malignancies. It is comprised of our clonoSEQ clinical diagnostic test, offered to clinicians, and our clonoSEQ assay, offered to biopharmaceutical partners, to advance drug development efforts. Our MRD revenue consists of revenue generated from (1) providing our clonoSEQ report to clinical customers; (2) providing MRD sample testing services to biopharmaceutical customers and certain academic institutions, including investigator-led clinical trials; and (3) providing our clonoSEQ report or results to certain international laboratory sites through technology transfers.

The Immune Medicine business leverages our proprietary ability to sequence, map, pair and characterize TCRs and B cell receptors (“BCRs”) at scale. We have created a powerful data engine to drive the development of novel therapies. Our Immune Medicine revenue consists of revenue generated from (1) providing sample testing services for our commercial research product, Adaptive Immunosequencing, to biopharmaceutical customers and academic institutions; and (2) our collaboration agreements with Genentech and other biopharmaceutical customers in areas of drug and target discovery.

There are no inter-segment revenues. See Note 3, Revenue for more information about each segment's revenue. Our CODM evaluates performance of the MRD segment based on both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA and evaluates performance of the Immune Medicine segment based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for each of our segments includes costs that are directly aligned to each segment, as well as certain allocated shared expenses. These shared expenses primarily relate to our general and administrative functions, our non-laboratory facility space in our corporate headquarters and our production laboratory. We use the relative direct headcount assigned to each of the respective segments and our production laboratory sample volume to allocate these expenses. We do not allocate certain expenses, such as our corporate insurance costs, external legal and audit costs and expenses related to our investor relations, chief executive officer and other related support functions. Additionally, we do not allocate costs related to our idle facility in Seattle, Washington, interest expense related to our Purchase Agreement nor interest and other income, net. Given these unallocated costs and income are not included in the measurements reviewed by the CODM to assess each segment's performance, they are included in "Unallocated Corporate" below. Our allocation methodology will be periodically evaluated and may change. Our CODM is not regularly provided nor reviews assets when assessing each segment's performance and to allocate resources. As such, assets for reportable segments are not disclosed.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with ourthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report, as well as the other financial information we file with the SEC from time to time. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. uncertainties relating to our future plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and financial performance and the assumptions that underlie these statements.

As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

We are advancing the field of immune-drivenimmune medicine by harnessing the inherent biology of the adaptive immune system to transform the diagnosis and treatment of disease. We believe the adaptive immune system is nature’s most finely tuned diagnostic and therapeutic for most diseases, but the inability to decode it has prevented the medical community from fully leveraging its capabilities. Our immune medicine platform applies our proprietary technologies to read the diverse genetic code of a patient’s immune system and understand precisely how itthe immune system detects and treats disease in that patient. We capture these insights in our dynamic clinical immunomics database and related antigen annotations, which isare underpinned by computational biology and machine learning, and use them to develop and commercialize clinical products and services that we are tailoringcan be tailored to eachthe needs of individual patient. We have twopatients. Our existing and future commercial products and services are aligned to two business areas which we refer to as MRD and a robust pipeline ofImmune Medicine.

Our current product and service offerings in MRD related to the MRD market are our clonoSEQ clinical productsdiagnostic test, offered to clinicians, and services that we are designingour clonoSEQ or MRD assay, offered to diagnose, monitor and enable the treatment of diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions and infectious diseases.

Our immune medicine platform is the foundation for our expanding suite of products and services. The cornerstone of our platform and core immunosequencing product, immunoSEQ, serves as our underlying research andbiopharmaceutical partners to advance drug development engine and generates revenue from academic and biopharmaceutical customers.efforts (“MRD Pharma”). Our first clinical diagnostic product, clonoSEQ, is the first test authorized by the FDAFood and Drug Administration for the detection and monitoring of MRD in patients with MMmultiple myeloma, B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and ALLchronic lymphocytic leukemia, and is being validatedalso available as a CLIA-validated laboratory developed test for patients with other blood cancers.lymphoid cancers, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. With the use of clonoSEQ, we are transforming how lymphoid cancers are treated by working with providers, pharmaceutical partners and payors.

Immune Medicine leverages our proprietary ability to sequence, map, pair and characterize T cell receptors (“TCRs”) and B cell receptors (“BCRs”) at scale to drive opportunities in cancer, autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Our core research product, Adaptive Immunosequencing, serves as our underlying research and development engine and generates revenue from biopharmaceutical and academic customers. Leveraging our collaboration with Microsoft to createCorporation, we are creating the TCR-Antigen Map. We are using the TCR-Antigen Map we are also developing a diagnostic product, immunoSEQ Dx, that may enable early detectionto identify and validate disease signatures to improve the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases from a single blood test. Our therapeutic product candidates, being developed under the Genentech Agreement,diseases. In Drug Discovery, we use our proprietary capabilities to discover new drug targets and leverage our platformvalidated TCR and BCR discovery approaches to identify specific immune cells to develop into cellular therapies in oncology.

Since our inception, we have devoted a majority of our resources to research and development activities to develop our immune medicine platform, which enables the delivery of our products and services for life sciences research, clinical diagnostics and drug discovery customers.

For our life science research customers, we provide two categories of products and services using immunoSEQ, our core sequencing and immunomics tracking technology. First, we provide immunosequencing services, the revenue from which we record as sequencing revenue. Second, we provide certain research customers professional support, for which we may receive payments upon those customers achieving specified milestones. We record these support activities as development revenue.

For our clinical diagnostics customers, we sell our clonoSEQ diagnostic tests, which include our immunosequencing services and are thus recorded as sequencing revenue. In the future, we intend to sell other diagnostics products and services, which we also expect to record as sequencing revenue.

For our current drug discovery collaborator, Genentech, we screen, identify and characterize TCRs in support of our collaboration. We record revenue from this collaboration as development revenue.

Historically, we have sold immunoSEQ as a fee-for-service offering to academic centers and biopharmaceutical customers and further deepened those relationships over time by supporting their development initiatives. These research offerings have comprised the vast majority of our revenue to date, although our business is pursuing broader opportunities. As we continue to expand the use of our clonoSEQ diagnostic tests, develop and commercialize immunoSEQ Dxdiscover and develop TCR or antibody therapeutic assets. Drug Discovery includes our worldwide collaboration and commercialize therapeutic product candidateslicense agreement with our drug discovery collaborator, we expect our mix of revenue to shift to clinical products and services, which we believe will become our largest sources of revenue.

We are actively pursuing opportunities to deepen our relationships with current customers and initiate relationships with new customers. We have an experienced, specialty salesforce that is targeting department heads, laboratory directors, principal investigators, core facility directors, clinicians, payors and research scientists and pathologists at leading academic institutions, biopharmaceutical companies, research institutions and contract research organizations. As MRD assessment becomes standard practice for patient management across a range of blood cancers, we believe it will be essential for clinicians and patients to have access to a highly accurate, sensitive and standardized MRD assessment tool. We are focused on establishing and maintaining collaborative relationships with payors, developing health economic evidence and building billing and patient access infrastructure to expand reimbursement coverage for our clinical diagnostics.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Adjusted EBITDA” below for an explanation for how it is calculated and used by management.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive revenue by providing diagnostic and research services in our MRD and Immune Medicine business areas. Our MRD revenue consists of revenue generated from (1) providing our clonoSEQ report to clinical customers; (2) providing MRD sample testing services to biopharmaceutical customers and certain academic institutions, including investigator-led clinical trials; and (3) providing our clonoSEQ report or results to certain international laboratory sites through technology transfers. We disclose our clonoSEQ test volume, which includes the number of clonoSEQ reports and results we have provided to ordering physicians in the United States (“U.S.”) and international technology transfer sites. These volumes do not include sample results from our biopharmaceutical customers or academic institutions utilizing our MRD services. Our Immune Medicine revenue consists of revenue generated from (1) providing sample testing services for our commercial research product, Adaptive Immunosequencing, to biopharmaceutical customers and academic institutions; and (2) our collaboration agreements with Genentech and other biopharmaceutical customers in areas of drug and target discovery.

For our clinical customers, we primarily derive revenue from two sources: (i) sequencingproviding our clonoSEQ report to ordering physicians. We bill commercial, government and medical institution payors based on reports delivered to ordering physicians. Amounts paid for clonoSEQ by commercial, government and medical institution payors vary based on respective reimbursement rates and patient responsibilities, which may differ from our targeted list price. We recognize clinical revenue by evaluating customer payment history, contracted reimbursement rates, if applicable, and other adjustments to estimate the amount of revenue that is collectible.

For our clonoSEQ coverage under Medicare, we bill an episode of treatment when we deliver the first eligible test report. This billing contemplates all necessary tests required during a patient’s treatment cycle, which is currently estimated at approximately four tests per patient, including the initial sequence identification test. Revenue recognition commences at the time the initial billable test report is delivered and is based upon cumulative tests delivered to date. Any unrecognized revenue from the initial billable test is recorded as deferred revenue and (ii) development revenue.

Sequencing revenue. Sequencing revenue reflectsrecognized either as we deliver our estimate of the amounts generated from providing sequencing services through immunoSEQ to research customers and from providing testing services through clonoSEQ to clinical and research customers.remaining tests in a patient’s treatment cycle or when the likelihood becomes remote that a patient will receive additional testing.

For our research customers, which include biopharmaceutical customers and academic institutions for both our MRD and Adaptive Immunosequencing services, delivery of the sequencingrespective test results may include some level of professional support and analysis. Terms with biopharmaceutical customers generally include non-refundable payments made in advance of services (“upfront payments,payments”), which we record as deferred revenue. For all research customers, we recognize revenue as we deliver sequencing results. From time to time, we offer discounts in order to gain rights and access to certain datasets. Revenue is recognized net of these discounts and costs associated with these services are reflected in cost of revenue.

For In periods where our clinical customers,sample estimates are reduced or a customer project is cancelled and, in either case, we derivehave remaining related deferred revenue, from providing our clonoSEQ test report to ordering physicians. We bill commercial payors and medical institutions as we deliver test results to ordering physicians. Amounts paid for clonoSEQ diagnostic tests by commercial payors and medical institutions varyrecognize revenue using a cumulative catch-up approach based on respective reimbursement rates and patient responsibilities, which may vary from our targeted list price. Tothe proportion of samples delivered to date relative to the majoritytotal samples expected to be delivered. Certain of our clonoSEQ diagnostic testMRD revenue has been received from medical institutions. We recognize clinical revenue by evaluating customer payment history and estimating the amount of revenue that is collectible. As of December 31, 2018, we did not have reimbursement available to us through any government payors for clonoSEQ.

In January 2019, clonoSEQ received Medicare coverage alignedarrangements with the FDA label and NCCN guidelines for longitudinal monitoring in MM and ALL. We bill Medicare for an episode of treatment when we deliver the first eligible test results. This billing contemplates all necessary tests required during a patient’s treatment cycle, which is currently estimated at approximately four tests per patient, including the initial sequence identification test. Revenue is recognized at the time the initial billable test result is delivered and is based upon cumulative tests delivered to date. Any unrecognized revenuebiopharmaceutical customers include cash consideration from the initial billable testachievement of regulatory milestones of the respective biopharmaceutical customers’ therapeutics. Such revenue is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as we deliver the remaining tests in a patient’s treatment cycle.constrained from recognition until it becomes probable that such milestone will be achieved.

Development revenue. Development revenue primarily represents regulatory or development support services, other than sequencing revenue, that we provide to

Under certain agreements with our biopharmaceutical customers who seek access to our platform to support their therapeutic development activities. Additionally,activities, revenues are generated from research and development support services that we generate development revenue from the achievement of regulatory milestones. We enter into collaboration and similar agreements with these customers. When these agreements include sequencing activities, we separately classify those activities as sequencing revenue.provide. These agreements may also include substantial non-refundable upfront payments, which we recognize as development revenue over time as we perform the respective services. Revenue recognized from these activities relate primarily to the Genentech Agreement.

We expect our MRD revenue to increase overin the long term particularly as we continue to increase our MRD clinical testing volume through increased penetration in our existing covered patient populations, expand into new patient populations and optimize payor coverage. Our MRD revenue may fluctuate period to period due to the mixuncertain timing of revenue migrates to clinical diagnostics and drug discovery. The pace byreceipt of our biopharmaceutical customer samples, which this mix migrates will be determined bymay cause uncertainty in the level of customer adoption and frequency of usedelivery of our products and services. However,services, the recognition of milestones related to regulatory approvals of our biopharmaceutical customers’ therapeutics and changes in estimates of our clinical revenue reimbursement rates.

We expect our Immune Medicine revenue to decrease in the short term primarily due to our expected reduction in revenue generated from the Genentech Agreement. Over the long term, we expect our Immune Medicine revenue to increase as we or our collaborators advance therapies to commercialization. Our Immune Medicine revenue may fluctuate from period to period due to the uncertain naturetiming of deliveryexpenses incurred, changes in estimates of total anticipated costs related to the Genentech Agreement and other events not within our productcontrol, including the recognition of milestones under the Genentech Agreement and services and milestone achievement.the timing of receipt of customer samples from our biopharmaceutical customers.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes the cost of materials, personnel-related expenses (comprised of(including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation), shipping and handling expenses, equipment andcosts, allocated facility costs associated with processing samples and professional support forcosts related to our sequencing revenue.service revenue activities. Allocated facility costs include depreciation of laboratory equipment, as well as allocated facility occupancy and information technology costs. Costs associated with processing samples are recorded as expense, regardless of the timing of revenue recognition. As such, cost of revenue and related volume does not always trend in the same direction as revenue recognition and related volume.

26


Adaptive Additionally, costs to support the Genentech Agreement are a component of our research and development expenses.BiotechnologiesCorporation

We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars in the long term as we grow our sequencingsample testing volume, but the cost per sample to decrease over the long term due to the efficiencies we may gain as sequencingassay volume increases from improved utilization of our laboratory capacity, automation and other value engineering initiatives. If our sample volume throughput is reduced, cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue may be adversely impacted due to fixed overhead costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses compriseconsist of laboratory materials costs, personnel-related expenses (including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation), equipment costs, allocated facility costs,and information technology costs and contract service expenses. Research and development activities support further development and refinement of existing assays and products, discovery of new technologies and investments intoin our immune medicine platform. We also include in research and development expenses the costs associated with software development of applications to support future commercial opportunities, as well as development activities to support laboratory scaling and workflow, as well as development of applications to support future commercial opportunities.workflow. We are currently conducting research and development activities for several products and services and we typically use our laboratory materials, personnel, facilities, information technology and other development resources across multiple development programs. Additionally, certain of these research and development activities benefit more than one of our product opportunities. We dohave not trackhistorically tracked research and development expenses by specific product candidates.

AThe costs to support the Genentech Agreement are a component of our research and development activities isexpenses. Additionally, a component of our research and development expenses are costs supporting clinical and analytical validations to obtain regulatory approval for future clinical products and services. Some of these activities have generated and may in the future generate development revenue.

We expect our research and development expenses to continue to increasedecrease in absolute dollars as we innovatethe short term and expand the application of our platform. However, we expect research and development expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term, and theyalthough the percentage may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of our efforts needed to developdevelopment and commercialize new products and services.commercialization efforts.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily ofinclude personnel-related expenses (including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation) for commercial sales, product and account management, marketing, reimbursement, medical education and business development personnel that support commercialization of our platform products. In addition, these expenses include external costs such as advertising expenses, customer education and promotional expenses, market analysis expenses, conference fees, travel expenses and allocated facility and information technology costs.

Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation

We expect oursales and marketing expenses to remain relatively consistent in the short term. In the long term, we expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our commercial sales, marketing and business development teams and increase marketing activities to drive awareness and adoption of our products and services. However, we expect sales and marketing expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term, though they may fluctuate as a percentage of revenuesubject to fluctuations from period to period due to the timing and magnitude of these expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily ofinclude personnel-related expenses including(including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation, salaries and benefitscompensation) for our personnel in executive, legal, finance and accounting, human resources and other administrative functions, including third-party clinical billing services. In addition, these expenses include insurance costs, external legal costs, accounting and tax service expenses, consulting fees and allocated facilitiesfacility and information technology costs.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increaseremain relatively consistent in absolute dollars as we increase headcountthe short term and incur costs associated with operating as a public company, including expenses related to legal, accounting, regulatory matters, maintaining compliance with exchange listing and requirements of the SEC, director and officer insurance premiums and investor relations. Though expected to increase in absolute dollars, we expect these expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term.

Interest Expense

27


AdaptiveInterest expense includes costs associated with our revenue interest liability related to the Purchase Agreement and noncash interest costs associated with the amortization of the related deferred issuance costs. We impute interest expense using the effective interest rate method. We calculate an effective interest rate which will amortize our related obligation to zero over the anticipated repayment period. A significant increase or decrease in or changes in timing of forecasted revenue will prospectively impact our interest expense.BiotechnologiesCorporation

General and administrative expenses were $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, representing an increase of $4.5 million, or 49%. The increase was primarily attributable to $1.7 million in additional personnel costs, $1.2 million in additional business taxes, largely due to the Genentech upfront payment received in February 2019, and a $0.9 million increase in legal, tax, accounting and consultant fees. A $0.2 million increase in computer and software expenses, a $0.2 million increase in travel and entertaining expenses, a $0.1 million increase in insurance expense and a $0.1 million increase in administration costs also contributed to the overall increase.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss attributable to Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation adjusted for interest and other income, net, interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, (expense), depreciation and amortization expense, impairment costs for right-of-use and related long-lived assets, restructuring expense and share-based compensation expenses.expense. We define our segment Adjusted EBITDA in the same way to the extent the net loss attributable to Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation and adjustments are allocable to each segment. See Note 13, Segment Information of the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for more information regarding segment Adjusted EBITDA.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, including segment Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate the financial performance of our business and segments and to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. We present Adjusted EBITDAthese figures because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry and it facilitates comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because it excludes items that are not indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, including segment Adjusted EBITDA, has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We may in the future incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA.we make. In particular, we expect to incur meaningful share-based compensation expense in the future. Other limitations include that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect:

all expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
changes in our working capital needs;
interest expense, which is an ongoing element of our costs to operate;
income tax (expense) benefit, which may be a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;
the costs of replacing the assets being depreciated and amortized, which will often have to be replaced in the future;
the noncash component of employee compensation expense;
right-of-use and related long-lived assets impairment costs; and
the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of our ongoing operations, such as our restructuring activities and reductions in workforce.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since inception and have incurred negative cash flows from operations fromsince inception through DecemberMarch 31, 2018.2024, with the exception of certain 2019 periods for which we had positive cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $330.9 million.$1.2 billion.

We have funded our operations to date principally from the sale of convertible preferred stock and common stock, and, to a lesser extent, sequencingrevenue and development revenue. In December 2018, weproceeds from the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entered into the Genentech Agreement pursuant to whichin September 2022, we received a $300.0net cash proceeds of $124.4 million, initial upfront paymentafter deducting issuance costs. We are also entitled to receive up to $125.0 million in February 2019, may receive approximately $1.8 billion over time, including paymentssubsequent installments as follows: (i) $75.0 million upon achievement of specified development, regulatoryour request occurring no later than September 12, 2025 and commercial milestones, and may receive additional royalties on sales of products commercialized under this agreement.(ii) $50.0 million upon our request in connection with certain permitted acquisitions occurring no later than September 12, 2025, in each case subject to certain funding conditions. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $423.0$308.9 million.

We believe our cash flows from operations and our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities together with the net proceeds from our IPO that closed July 1, 2019, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months. We may consider raising additional capital to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons.

We plan to utilize the existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand primarily to fund our commercial and marketing activities associated with our clinical products and services, continued research and development initiatives for our pipeline candidates and drug discovery initiatives, ongoing investments into our immune medicine platform and scaling of our laboratory operations with our anticipated growth. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested in accordance with our investment policy, primarily with a view to liquidity and capital preservation. Currently, our funds are held in money market funds and marketable securities consisting of U.S. government debt securities, U.S. government agency bonds, commercial paper and corporate bonds.

As revenue from sales of immunoSEQ and clonoSEQ is expected to grow, we expect our accounts receivable and inventory balances to increase. Any increase in accounts receivable and inventory may not be completely offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which could result in greater working capital requirements. Moreover, following the closing of our IPO, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including expenses related to legal, accounting, regulatory, exchange listing and SEC compliance matters.

33


AdaptiveBiotechnologiesCorporation

If our available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances net proceeds from our IPO that closed July 1, 2019 and anticipated cash flow from operationsflows are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may request an additional installment under the Purchase Agreement, seek to sell additional equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our shareholders and, in the case of preferred equity securities or convertible debt, those securities could provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. AdditionalThis additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

We plan to utilize the existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand primarily to fund our commercial and marketing activities associated with clonoSEQ, our continued investments in streamlining our laboratory operations and our continued research and development initiatives related to drug discovery. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested in accordance with our investment policy, primarily with a view to capital preservation and liquidity. Currently, our funds are held in money market funds and marketable securities consisting of U.S. government treasury securities, commercial paper and corporate bonds.

While we may experience variability in revenue in the near term, over the long-term we expect revenue from our current and future products and services to grow. Accordingly, we expect our accounts receivable and inventory balances to increase. Our levels of accounts receivable may fluctuate relative to our revenue for a number of reasons, including the timing of milestone triggers and related payment of those milestones, as well as reductions in revenue derived from the upfront payment received under the Genentech Agreement and an increase in revenue generated from clinical customers, which may result in more billings in arrears as opposed to upfront payments. Any increase in accounts receivable and inventory may not be completely offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which could result in greater working capital requirements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our principal contractual obligations and commitments were reported in our Prospectus. As of June 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments as disclosed in our Prospectus.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

Utilization of our NOLnet operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 382”) and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL carryforwards and credits before utilization. If there should be an ownership change, our ability to utilize our NOL carryforwards and credits could be limited. We have completed a Section 382 analysis for changes in ownership through December 31, 2023 and continue to monitor for changes that could trigger a limitation. Based on this analysis, we do not expect to have determined there are noany permanent limitations on the utilization of approximately $186.9 million of our federal NOLs. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, federal NOLs asincurred in 2018 and future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of December 31, 2018.such federal NOLs is subject to an annual limitation. NOLs generated prior to 2018 are eligible to be carried forward up to 20 years. Based on the available objective evidence, management determined that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would not be realizable as of December 31, 2018.2023. Accordingly, management applied a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018.2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have not had any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have prepared ourthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expense recorded during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and or other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are used in several areas, including, but not limited to, estimates of progress to date for certain performance obligations and the transaction price for certain contracts with customers, share-based compensation, includingimputing interest for the fair value of common stock granted prior to our IPO,Purchase Agreement, the provision for income taxes, including related reserves, the analysis of goodwill impairment and goodwill,the recoverability and impairment of long-lived assets, among others. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve the analysis of historical results and prediction of future trends, can require extended periods of time to resolve and are subject to change from period to period. Actual results may differ materially from management’s estimates.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in our Prospectus,Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024, as well as in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies of the accompanying notes to ourthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies are critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of ourthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:

revenue recognition;
imputing interest for the Purchase Agreement; and
goodwill.

revenue recognition;

share-based compensation;

common stock valuations; and

goodwill.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in our Prospectus.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company” withinAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the meaning of the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period and, as a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We also intend to rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including not being required to complyyear ended December 31, 2023 filed with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

The shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of options are deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds from our IPO

On July 1, 2019, we closed our IPO, in which we issued and sold 17,250,000 shares of our common stock (including the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) at a public offering price of $20.00 per share for an aggregate offering price of $345.0 million.  Net proceeds to us were $316.0 million after deducting aggregate underwriting discounts and commissions of $24.2 million and estimated offering expenses of $4.8 million.  Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. acted as joint lead book-running managers for the offering.  Cowen and Company, LLC and Guggenheim Securities, LLC acted as book-running managers for the offering.  William Blair & Company, L.L.C. and BTIG, LLC acted as co-managers for the offering.  All of the shares of common stock issued and sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-231838), which was declared effective by the SEC on June 26, 2019.  Following the sale of these shares, the offering terminated.  No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any of our affiliates.  There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our Prospectus.  As our IPO closed after the period covered by this report, none of the proceeds from our IPO were used during the period covered by this report.
