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 clonoSEQ and T-Detect products, particularly in light of the novelty of immune medicine and our methods;

our ability to obtain regulatory clearance, authorization and approval for such products and services;

our collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) and ability to develop and commercialize cellular therapeutics, including our ability to achieve milestones and realize the intended benefits of the collaboration;

our ability to develop a map of the interaction between the immune system and disease (“TCR-Antigen Map”) and yield insights from it that are commercially viable as we expand the T-Detect product line;

our expected reliance on collaborators for development and clinical testing of potential diagnostic, therapeutic and drug development product candidates, which may fail at any time due to a number of possible unforeseen events;

our ability to develop and commercialize products related to COVID-19, such as our ability to develop a map of the T cell response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the commercialization of a T cell-based clinical diagnostic product for COVID-19 (“T-Detect COVID”), the development of neutralizing antibody products or processes and the development of COVID-19 vaccines together with Vaccibody; and

the potential adverse effect on our business, operations and plans or timelines (including those plans and timelines related to expansion initiatives and clinical development) resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, includingpotential impacts to our supply chain, human capital and corporate culture.  

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 (“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.

Organization and Description 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 applies our proprietary technologies to read the diverse genetic code of a patient’s immune system and aims to understand precisely how the immune system detects and treats disease in that patient. We capture these insights in our dynamic clinical immunomics database, which is the foundation for our expanding suite ofunderpinned by computational biology and machine learning, and use them to develop and commercialize clinical products and services. The cornerstoneservices that we are tailoring to each individual patient. We have commercial products and services and a robust pipeline of our immune medicine platformclinical products and core immunosequencing product, immunoSEQ, servesservices that we are designing to diagnose, monitor and enable the treatment of diseases, such as our underlying researchcancer, autoimmune conditions 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.infectious diseases.

We were incorporated in the State of Washington on September 8, 2009 under the name Adaptive TCR Corporation. On December 21, 2011, we changed our name to Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation. We are headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 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, and the provision for income taxes, including related reserves, and goodwill, 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.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows for interim periods in accordance with GAAP. All such adjustments were of a normal, recurring nature. Interim-period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for a full year or any subsequent interim period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes included in our prospectus dated June 26, 2019Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SecuritiesSEC on February 24, 2021.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. We have operating lease agreements for the laboratory, office and cash equivalentswarehouse facilities that we occupy, as well as server space. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are statedrecognized at fair value. Cash equivalentsthe date the underlying asset becomes available for our use and are based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. As our leases generally do not provide an implicit interest rate, the present value of our future minimum lease payments is determined using our incremental borrowing rate. This rate is an estimate of the collateralized borrowing rate we would incur on our future lease payments over a similar term and is based on the information available to us at the lease commencement date, or as of January 1, 2020 for commenced leases that existed as of our adoption of the new lease standard.

Certain of our leases contain options to extend or terminate the lease; lease terms are adjusted for these options only securities having an original maturitywhen it is reasonably certain we will exercise these options. Our lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or covenants.

We have made a policy election regarding our real estate leases not to separate nonlease components from lease components, to the extent they are fixed. Nonlease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease expense. Our leases for laboratory, office and warehouse facilities typically include variable nonlease components, such as common-area maintenance costs. We have also elected not to record on the balance sheet a lease that has a lease term of threetwelve months or less at the time of purchase. We limit our credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by placing our investments with banksdoes not contain a purchase option that we believe are highly creditworthy and with highly rated money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents primarily consistreasonably certain to exercise.

Incentives granted under our facilities leases, including rent holidays, are recognized as well as highly liquid U.S. government debt and agency securities and commercial paper with original maturitiesadjustments to lease expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of three months or less.the leases.

Concentrations of Risk

We are subject to a concentration of risk from a limited number of suppliers, or in some cases single suppliers, for some of our laboratory instruments and materials. This risk is managed by targeting a quantity of surplus stock.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk. We invest in money market funds, United States (“U.S.”) government debt securities, U.S. government agency bonds,securities, commercial paper and corporate bonds with high-quality accredited financial institutions.

Revenue Recognition

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

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 allocateclassify revenue based on the nature of the performance obligation and the allocated transaction price.

SequencingRevenue

Sequencing revenue reflects the amounts generated from providing testing services through clonoSEQ to clinical and research customers, from providing our T-Detect COVID test to clinical customers and 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

Notesto Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

For other 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 delivery 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.customers.

For clinical customers, we primarily derive revenuesrevenue from providing our clonoSEQ test report to ordering physicians, and we bill and receive payments from commercial third-party payors and medical institutions.physicians. In these transactions, we have identified one performance obligation:obligation, the delivery of a clonoSEQ report.report, and we bill and receive payments from medical institutions and commercial and government third-party 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,For 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. 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 result is delivered and is based upon cumulative tests delivered to date. ForWe estimate the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,number of tests we recognized $0.3 million and $0.8 million relatingexpect to the coverage policy, respectively; $0.1 million and $0.4 million of this revenue was relateddeliver over a patient’s treatment cycle based on historical testing frequencies for patients by indication. 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.

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 2 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. 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 cumulative catch-up approach based on the proportion of samples delivered to date relative to the remaining samples expected to be delivered.

Development Revenue

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 servicesour minimal residual disease (“MRD”) product in the development of the respective customers’ initiatives. The transaction price for these contracts may consist of a combination of non-refundable upfront fees, separately priced sequencing fees, progress basedprogress-based milestones and regulatory milestones. The development agreements may include single or multiple performance obligations, depending on the contract. For certain contracts, we may perform services to support the biopharmaceutical customers’ regulatory submissionsubmissions as part of their registrational trials. These services may include regulatory support pertaining to our technology intended to be utilized as part of the submission, development of analytical plans for our sequencing data, participation on joint research committees and assistance in completing a regulatory submission. Generally, these services are not distinct within the context of the contract and they 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 basedprogress-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.

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 consistDuring the three months ended September 30, 2021, we executed an intellectual property license agreement that includes variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Any consideration related to such royalties will be recognized as development revenue at the later of fees and expenses incurred in connection withwhen (i) the anticipated salerelated sales occur or (ii) the performance obligation to which some or all 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.sales-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

Net LossPer ShareAttributableto Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation 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 Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation common shareholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholdersAdaptive Biotechnologies Corporation 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 Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation 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 preferredcommon stock warrants, stock options and warrants to purchase commonnonvested restricted stock or convertible preferred stockunits are considered common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation 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.

Revenue

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 Development Agreements

In 2017 and 2018, weWe have entered into agreements with biopharmaceutical customers to further develop and commercialize clonoSEQour MRD product 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 progressprogress-based milestones or achievement ofachieving certain regulatory milestones pertaining to the customers’ therapeutictherapeutics and our clonoSEQ test.MRD product.

Notesto Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

Under the contracts, we identify performance obligations, which may include: (i)(1) obligations to provide services supporting the customer’s regulatory submission activities as they relate to our clonoSEQ test;MRD product; and (ii)(2) sequencing services forrelated to 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 immunosequencing services. At contract inception, we fully constrainedconstrain any consideration related to the regulatory milestones, as the achievement of such milestones is subject to third-party regulatory approval and the customers’ own submission decision-making. We recognize revenue relatingrelated to the sequencing services as sequencing revenue 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 completed using a cost-based model.completed.

We recognized $0.5$3.2 million in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to changes in estimates of total samples to be provided under certain of our MRD development agreements for which we had previously received upfront consideration, of which $0.3 million was recognized as development revenue in the respective period.

We earned $1.5 million and $0.6$10.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $2.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones by our respective customers’ therapeutics. We recognized these earnings as development revenue within the respective periods, as we determined that the amounts were consistent with our estimated standalone selling prices and the respective performance obligations were complete.

In total, we recognized $1.9 million and $11.4 million in development revenue related to these contracts inour MRD development agreements during the three and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018,2021, respectively, and $0.8$2.6 million and $1.9$3.1 million in development revenue related to our MRD development agreements during the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 2018,2020, respectively.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019,2021, in future periods we could receive up to an additional $115.0$333.5 million in milestone payments if certain regulatory approvals are obtained by our customers’ therapeutics in connection with MRD data generated from our clonoSEQ test.MRD product.

Genentech Collaboration Agreement

In December 2018, we entered into a worldwide collaboration and license agreement with Genentech (“Genentech Agreement”) with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) to leverage our capability to develop cellular therapies in oncology. Subsequent to receipt of regulatory approval in January 2019, we received a non-refundable, upfront payment of $300.0 million in February 2019 and may be eligible to receive more than $1.8 billion over time, including payments of up to $75.0 million upon the achievement of specified regulatory milestones, up to $300.0 million upon the achievement of specified development milestones and up to $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, we are pursuing two product development pathways for novel T cell immunotherapies 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”).

Under the terms of the 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 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 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.

 

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.

 

4.

License to existing shared antigen data packages.

 

5.

Research and development services for shared product development, including expansion of shared antigen data packages.

 

6.

Research and development services for private product development.

 

7.

Obligations to participate on various joint research, development and project committees.

AdaptiveBiotechnologiesCorporation

Notesto Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

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 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. 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 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 transaction price as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019.2021. We excluded 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 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 the revenue over a period of approximately seven to eight 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.

We recognized revenue of approximately $8.5$15.0 million and $14.8$12.3 million forduring the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019,2021 and 2020, respectively, and $47.8 million and $35.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the Genentech collaboration.Agreement. Costs related to the Genentech collaborationAgreement are included in research and development expenses.

Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

We have entered into various non-cancelable lease agreements for our office and laboratory spaces.

In July 2011, we entered into a non-cancelable lease agreement with a minority shareholder for laboratory and office space 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 duration of the lease term. In connection with the lease, the landlord funded agreed-upon improvements prior 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, and a corresponding leasehold incentive obligation, which is amortized over the life of the lease.

Leases

We have operating lease agreements for laboratory and office facilities in Seattle, Washington, South San Francisco, California and New York City, New York, as well as server space. Additionally, in March 2021, we executed a lease to rent approximately 27,000 square feet of a warehouse in Bothell, Washington, which we classified as an operating lease upon commencement during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Rent obligations commenced in October 2021 and the lease expires 120 months thereafter, subject to an early termination option after the seventh year and an option to twice extend the lease for five years. Furthermore, the landlord agreed to fund $1.2 million in improvements in connection with this lease. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, ROU assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities was $5.4 million.

As of September 30, 2021, we were not party to any finance leases. Our leases have remaining terms of 0.6 years to 11.9 years and include options to extend certain of the leases for up to 10.0 years and terminate certain of the leases after as few as 3.0 years. We adjust lease terms for these options only when it is reasonably certain we will exercise these options. As of September 30, 2021, it was reasonably certain that we would exercise our option to terminate 2 of our leases after 3.0 years.

We previously entered into a $2.1 million letter of credit with one of our financial institutions in connection with one of our leases.

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We will accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. We arewere not currently party to any material legal proceedings.proceedings as of September 30, 2021.

 

Indemnification Agreements

The determination of the grant date fair value of stock options on the date of grant 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 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 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 options.

 

Expected volatility—As we do not have sufficient trading history for our common stock, the expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our publicly traded industry peers utilizing a period of time consistent with our estimate of the expected term.

 

Expected dividend yield—We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, use an expected dividend yield of zero0 in the option valuation model.

On July 1, 2019, we completed our IPO. For details regarding this event, including the automatic conversion of all shares of our convertible preferred stock into common stock, our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and our 2019 Plan, please refer to Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business – Initial Public Offering.

In August 2019, we entered into an operating lease to rent 100,000 square feet in a to-be-constructed building in Seattle, Washington. Shell construction is expected to be completed in 2020. The lease term commences on the date that the landlord delivers the premises to us for construction of certain tenant improvements. Rent obligations commence 10 months thereafter, and the lease term ends 142 months form the date rent commences, subject to our option to twice extend the lease for five years. The lease is cancellable under certain circumstances if the landlord fails to deliver the premises to us by May 1, 2021. We plan to occupy the new building in 2021, once interior construction is finished. The lease also requires us to pay additional amounts for operating and maintenance expenses. In connection with the new lease, we also entered into a letter of credit of $2.1 million with one of our existing financial institutions.

Furthermore, in August 2019, we amended the lease for our current headquarters in Seattle, Washington to expand the size of the existing premises by approximately 8,400 square feet. Rent obligations of the expanded premises commence four months after the landlord delivers the premises to us for construction of certain tenant improvements, and the lease term for both the existing premises and the expanded premises ends 142 months after the commencement date of the new lease mentioned above, subject to our option to twice extend the lease for five years. If the new lease does not commence, the lease term for the existing premises and the expanded premises ends March 31, 2024.

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 our 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 aims to understand precisely how itthe immune system detects and treats disease in that patient. We capture these insights in our dynamic clinical immunomics database, which is underpinned by computational biology and machine learning, and use them to develop and commercialize clinical products and services that we are tailoring to each individual patient. We have two commercial products and services and a robust pipeline of clinical products and services that we are designing 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 and development engine and generates revenue from academicbiopharmaceutical and biopharmaceuticalacademic customers. 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 (“MM”), B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (“ALL”) and ALLchronic lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”), and is being validatedalso available as a CLIA-validated laboratory developed test for patients with other bloodlymphoid cancers. Leveraging our collaboration with Microsoft to create the TCR-Antigen Map, we are also developing a diagnostic product, immunoSEQ Dx, that may enable early detection of many diseases from a single blood test. Our therapeutic product candidates, being developed under the Genentech Agreement, leverage our platform 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.

We are using the TCR-Antigen Map to develop research solutions and diagnostic products, such as immunoSEQ T-MAP and T-Detect. T-Detect COVID, for which we have received emergency use authorization, confirms past SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19, and is also the first indication for the T-Detect product line. We expect to launch T-Detect Lyme during the 2022 Lyme season, have discovered signals in both ileal Crohn’s and multiple sclerosis and continue to pursue signals for other disease states, including in autoimmune disease.

Our therapeutic product candidates, being developed under the Genentech Agreement, leverage our platform which enables the delivery ofto identify specific receptors on immune cells to develop into cellular therapies in oncology. We also extended our productsplatform to identify highly potent neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and services for life sciences research, clinical diagnostics and drug discovery customers.we believe this differentiated approach may be leveraged across multiple disease states.

For our life sciencesciences research customers, we provide two categories of products and services using immunoSEQ, our core sequencing and immunomics tracking technology.immunoSEQ. 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 receive nonrefundable upfront or recurring payments. We may receive additional payments upon those customers achieving specified milestones. We recordRevenue related to these support activities are recorded as development revenue.

For our clinical diagnostics customers, we sell our clonoSEQ diagnostic tests,test and T-Detect COVID test, which include our immunosequencing services and are thus recorded as sequencing revenue. In the future, we intend to sell other diagnosticsdiagnostic products and services, including other indications for T-Detect, 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.offering. 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 DxT-Detect and develop and commercialize therapeutic product candidates 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.

24


AdaptiveBiotechnologiesCorporation

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. We continue to seek expanded coverage of our clonoSEQ diagnostic test and have successfully expanded coverage through contractual agreements or positive medical policies with Medicare and several of the largest national private health insurers in the United States.

We generatedrecognized revenue of $22.1$39.5 million and $34.8$26.3 million for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019,2021 and 2020, respectively, and $11.6$116.4 million and $21.3$68.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net loss attributable to Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation was $55.9 million and $36.7 million for the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018, respectively. Our net losses were $15.72021 and 2020, respectively, and $145.8 million and $34.0$101.7 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, respectively,2021 and $12.5 million and $24.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.2020, respectively. We have funded our operations to date principally from the sale of convertible preferred stock and common stock and, to a lesser extent, sequencing and development revenue. As of JuneSeptember 30, 20192021 and December 31, 2018,2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $423.0$632.4 million and $165.0$806.8 million, respectively. In December 2018, we entered into the Genentech Agreement pursuant to which we received a $300.0 million initial upfront payment in February 2019, may be eligible to receive approximately $1.8 billion over time, including payments upon achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones, and may receive additional royalties on sales of products commercialized under this agreement.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We derive our revenue from two sources: (i)(1) sequencing revenue and (ii)(2) development revenue.

Sequencing revenue. Sequencing revenue reflects the amounts generated from providing sequencing services through immunoSEQ to research customers and from providing testing services through clonoSEQ to clinical and research customers, from providing our T-Detect COVID test to clinical customers and from providing sequencing services through immunoSEQ to research customers.

For our clinical customers, we primarily derive revenue from providing our clonoSEQ report to ordering physicians. We bill medical institutions and commercial and government payors based on tests delivered to ordering physicians. Amounts paid for clonoSEQ diagnostic tests by medical institutions and commercial and government payors vary based on respective reimbursement rates and patient responsibilities, which may differ from our targeted list price. To date, the majority of our clonoSEQ diagnostic test revenue has been received from medical institutions. 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 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 recognition commences at the time the initial billable test result 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 recognized either as we deliver our estimate of the 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, delivery of the sequencing results may include some level of professional support and analysis. Terms with biopharmaceutical customers generally include non-refundable upfront 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. To date, the majorityproportion of our clonoSEQ diagnostic test 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 aligned 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 testssamples delivered to date. Any unrecognized revenue from the initial billable test is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as we deliverdate relative to the remaining tests in a patient’s treatment cycle.samples expected to be delivered.

Development revenue. Development revenue primarily represents regulatory or development support services, other than sequencing revenue, that we provide to biopharmaceutical customers who seek access to our platform to support their therapeutic development activities. Additionally, 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. These agreements may also include substantial non-refundable upfront payments, which we recognize as development revenue over time as we perform the respective services. Additionally, we generate development revenue from the achievement of regulatory milestones.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we executed an intellectual property license agreement that includes variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Any consideration related to such royalties will be recognized as development revenue at the later of when (i) the related sales occur or (ii) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

We expect revenue to increase over the long term, particularly as the mix of revenue migrates to clinical diagnostics and drug discovery. The pace by which this mix migrates will be determined by the level of customer adoption and frequency of use of our products and services. However, ourOur revenue may fluctuate from period to period due to the uncertain nature of delivery of our productproducts and services, the achievement of milestones by us or our customers, timing of expenses incurred, changes in estimates of total anticipated costs related to our Genentech Agreement and milestone achievement.other events not within our control, such as the delivery of customer samples or customer decisions to no longer pursue their development initiatives.

Due to the ongoing uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we may experience variability in revenue in the near term as our customers’ abilities to procure samples for their research initiatives change, as customer initiatives evolve and as clinical testing is impacted by the pandemic.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes the cost of materials, personnel-related expenses (comprised of salaries, benefits and share-based compensation), shipping and handling, equipment and allocated facility costs associated with processing samples and professional support for our sequencing revenue. Allocated facility costs include depreciation of laboratory equipment and 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. Additionally, costs to support our Genentech Agreement are a component of our research and development activities.

26


AdaptiveBiotechnologiesCorporation

We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars as we grow our sequencing volume and make increased investments in laboratory automation and facilities, but the cost per sample to decrease over the long term due to the efficiencies we may gain as sequencing volume increases from improved utilization of our laboratory capacity, automation and other value engineering initiatives. If our sample volume throughput is reduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, 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, equipment costs, allocated facility costs, information technology expenses 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 do not track research and development expenses by specific product candidates.

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

We expect our research and development expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we innovate 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 of personnel-related expenses for commercial sales, 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 costs.

We expect our 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 of personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, salaries and benefits for our personnel in executive, legal, finance and accounting, human resources and other administrative functions, including third-party billing services. In addition, these expenses include insurance costs, external legal costs, accounting and tax service expenses, consulting fees and allocated facilitiesfacility costs.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase headcount 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.headcount.

The $27.1 million increase in sequencing revenue was primarily attributable to a $17.1 million increase in revenue generated from biopharmaceutical and academic customers, inclusive of a $2.9 million increase due to changes in estimates of total samples to be provided under certain of our MRD development agreements and a $0.7 million decrease in revenue recognized from customer project cancellations. Additionally, there was a $9.9 million increase in revenue generated from clinical customers, inclusive of a $2.0 million increase related to Medicare reimbursements resulting from our determination that the likelihood of additional testing for specific patients was remote and a change in our estimate of expected cumulative tests per patient for one of our covered indications.

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, income tax (expense) benefit, (expense), depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expenses.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the financial performance of our business and the effectiveness of our business strategies. We present Adjusted EBITDA 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 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. 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;

 

income tax expense (benefit),(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 non-cash component of employee compensation expense; and

 

the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of our ongoing operations.

In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since inception and have incurred negative cash flows from operations fromsince inception through December 31, 2018.September 30, 2021, with the exception of certain 2019 periods for which we had positive cash flows from operations. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019,2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $330.9$657.5 million.

We have funded our operations to date principally from the sale of convertible preferred stock and common stock and, to a lesser extent, sequencing and development revenue. In December 2018, we entered into the Genentech Agreement pursuant to which we received a $300.0 million initial upfront payment in February 2019, may receive approximately $1.8 billion over time, including payments upon achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones, and may receive additional royalties on sales of products commercialized under this agreement. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019,2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $423.0$632.4 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.

AdaptiveBiotechnologiesCorporation

If our available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances net proceeds from our IPO that closed July 1, 2019 and anticipated cash flowflows from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may 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 our clinical products and services, continued research and development initiatives for our pipeline candidates and drug discovery initiatives and ongoing investments in our immune medicine platform. We also expect to make increased capital expenditures in the near term related to the expansion of our office and laboratory space and expect to increase investment in laboratory equipment and operations to support our anticipated growth. 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 debt securities and corporate bonds.

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations and commitments as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 8 of the accompanying notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for more information regarding our contractual obligations relating to lease agreements.

While we may experience variability in revenue in the near term, as long-term revenue from sales of our current and future products and services 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.

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 andfor changes in ownership through December 31, 2020. 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 asNOLs. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of December 31, 2018.2017, federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal NOL is subject to an annual limitation. Net operating losses 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, 2018.2020. Accordingly, management applied a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 20192020. In March 2020, under the newly enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2018, we have not had any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules2017 and regulationsbefore January 1, 2021 may be carried back to each of the SEC.five tax years preceding the tax year of the loss. Additionally, the CARES Act temporarily removes the 80% limitation, reinstating it for tax years beginning after 2020. However, none of these provisions have an impact on our tax provision.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have prepared our financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our preparation of these 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 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, including the fair value of common stock granted prior to our IPO, the provision for income taxes, including related reserves, and goodwill, 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, 2020, as well as in Note 2 of the accompanying notes to our 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 our financial statements:

 

revenue recognition;

 

share-based compensation;

common stock valuations;share-based compensation; 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 comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

35


AdaptiveBiotechnologiesCorporation

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.ended December 31, 2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures aboutAbout Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related primarily to our cash, and cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, we had cash2021, there have been no material changes to our market risks as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We do not enter into investments for trading purposes and cash equivalents of $48.5 million, held primarily in cash deposits, money market funds, commercial paper and U.S. government debt securities. Our marketable securities are held in U.S. government debt securities, U.S. government agency bonds, commercial paper and corporate bonds. As of June 30, 2019, we had short-term marketable securities of $374.5 million. Our primary exposurehave not used any derivative financial instruments to marketmanage our interest rate risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States. As of June 30, 2019, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in an approximate $1.4 million decline of the fair value of our available-for-sale securities. This estimate is based on a sensitivity model that measures market value changes when changes in interest rates occur.exposure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of JuneSeptember 30, 2019.2021. There was not any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in RulesRule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterthree months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20192021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
