ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | (1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Exact Sciences Corporation (“Exact” or the “Company”) was incorporated in February 1995. Exact is a molecular diagnostics company currently focused on the early detection and prevention of some of the deadliest forms of cancer. The Company has developed an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly screening test called Cologuard® for the early detection of colorectal cancer and pre-cancer, and is currently working on the development of tests for other types of cancer. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Exact Sciences Corporation and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Exact Sciences Laboratories, LLC, Exact Sciences Finance Corporation, CG Growth, LLC, Sampleminded, Inc., Exact Sciences Europe LTD, Beijing Exact Sciences Medical Technology Company Limited, and variable interest entities are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2016 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the 2016 Form 10-K. Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure or recognition in the accompanying financial statements up to the filing of this report. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Exact Sciences Laboratories, LLC, Exact Sciences Finance Corporation, CG Growth, LLC, Sampleminded, LLC, Exact Sciences Europe LTD, Beijing Exact Sciences Medical Technology Company Limited, and variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References to “Exact”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” refer to Exact Sciences Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash on hand, demand deposits in bank, money market funds, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Marketable Securities Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities carried at amortized cost are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive loss. The amortized cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the straight-line method. Such amortization is included in investment income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in investment income. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s investments were comprised of fixed income investments, and all were deemed available-for-sale. The objectives of the Company’s investment strategy are to provide liquidity and safety of principal while striving to achieve the highest rate of return consistent with these two objectives. The Company’s investment policy limits investments to certain types of instruments issued by institutions with investment grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer. Investments in which the Company has the ability and intent, if necessary, to liquidate, in order to support its current operations (including those with a contractual term greater than one year from the date of purchase), are classified as current. All of the Company’s investments are considered current. There were no realized losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Realized gains were $17,000 and $21,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We periodically review our investments in unrealized loss positions for other-than-temporary impairments. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, significant quantitative and qualitative assessments and estimates regarding credit ratings, collateralized support, the length of time and significance of a security’s loss position, our intent not to sell the security, and whether it is more likely than not that we will have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no investments were identified with other-than-temporary declines in value. Available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2017 consisted of the following: September 30, 2017 Gains in Accumulated Losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Other Comprehensive Estimated Fair (In thousands) Amortized Cost Income Income Value Corporate bonds $ 213,058 $ 27 $ (80) $ 213,005 Asset backed securities 101,167 2 (56) 101,113 U.S. government agency securities 64,972 — (103) 64,869 Commercial paper 20,894 2 (1) 20,895 Certificates of deposit 11,800 2 — 11,802 Total available-for-sale securities $ 411,891 $ 33 $ (240) $ 411,684 Available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2016 consisted of the following: December 31, 2016 Gains in Accumulated Losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Other Comprehensive Estimated Fair (In thousands) Amortized Cost Income Income Value Corporate bonds $ 137,013 $ 17 $ (93) $ 136,937 Asset backed securities 55,667 3 (30) 55,640 U.S. government agency securities 49,591 3 (120) 49,474 Commercial paper 19,069 8 (1) 19,076 Certificates of deposit 1,053 — (1) 1,052 Total available-for-sale securities $ 262,393 $ 31 $ (245) $ 262,179 Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were as follows: Accumulated Cumulative Unrealized Other Translation Gain (Loss) Comprehensive (In thousands) Adjustment on Securities Income (Loss) Balance at December 31, 2016 $ (204) $ (214) $ (418) Other comprehensive loss before reclassifications 97 (3) 94 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss — 10 10 Net current period change in accumulated other comprehensive loss 97 7 104 Balance at September 30, 2017 $ (107) $ (207) $ (314) The amounts recognized in AOCI for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were as follows: Accumulated Cumulative Unrealized Other Translation Gain (Loss) Comprehensive (In thousands) Adjustment on Securities Income (Loss) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 11 $ (444) $ (433) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications (164) 346 182 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss — 64 64 Net current period change in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (164) 410 246 Balance at September 30, 2016 $ (153) $ (34) $ (187) Amounts reclassified from AOCI for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Affected Line Item in the Nine Months Ended September 30, Details about AOCI Components (In thousands) Statement of Operations 2017 2016 Change in value of available-for-sale investments Sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments Investment income $ 10 $ 64 Total reclassifications $ 10 $ 64 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred; additions and improvements are capitalized. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are as follows: Estimated Asset Classification Useful Life Laboratory equipment 3 - 5 years Computer equipment and computer software 3 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of the remaining lease term or useful life Building Improvements Lesser of the remaining building life or useful life Furniture and fixtures 3 years Buildings 30 years At September 30, 2017, the Company had $20.9 million of assets under construction which consisted of $10.0 million related to machinery and equipment, $8.0 million related to buildings and leasehold improvements, $2.7 million related to computer equipment and computer software projects and $0.2 million related to furniture and fixtures. Depreciation will begin on these assets once they are placed into service. The Company expects to incur an additional $8.4 million to complete the machinery and equipment, $11.9 million to complete the building and leasehold improvements, and minimal costs to complete the computer equipment and computer software projects and furniture and fixtures. These projects are expected to be completed in 2017 and 2018. There were no impairment losses for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Software Capitalization Policy Software development costs related to internal use software are incurred in three stages of development: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage, and the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage that meet the criteria for capitalization are capitalized and amortized, when the software is ready for its intended use, using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Patent Costs and Intangible Assets Patent costs, which have historically consisted of related legal fees, are capitalized as incurred, only if the Company determines that there is some probable future economic benefit to be derived from the transaction. A capitalized patent is amortized over its estimated useful life, beginning when such patent is approved. Capitalized patent costs are expensed upon disapproval, upon a decision by the Company to no longer pursue the patent or when the related intellectual property is either sold or deemed to be no longer of value to the Company. The Company determined that all patent costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 should be expensed and not capitalized as the future economic benefit to be derived from the transactions cannot be determined. Under a technology license and royalty agreement entered into with MDxHealth (“MDx”), dated July 26, 2010 (as subsequently amended, the “License Agreement”), the Company was required to pay MDx milestone-based royalties on sales of products or services covered by the licensed intellectual property. Once the achievement of a milestone occurred or was considered probable, an intangible asset and corresponding liability was reported in other long-term assets and accrued liabilities, respectively. The intangible asset is being amortized over the estimated ten-year useful life of the licensed intellectual property through 2024, and such amortization is reported in cost of sales. The liability was relieved once the milestone was achieved and payment was made. Payment for all remaining milestones under the License Agreement was made as part of the Royalty Buy-Out agreement outlined below. Effective April 25, 2017, the Company and MDx entered into a Royalty Buy-Out Agreement (“Royalty Buy-Out Agreement”), which terminated the License Agreement. Pursuant to the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement, the Company paid MDx a one-time fee of $8.0 million in exchange for an assignment of certain patents covered by the License Agreement and the elimination of all ongoing royalties and other payments by the Company to MDx under the License Agreement. Also included in the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement is a mutual release of liabilities, which includes all amounts previously accrued under the License Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement, the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (“Patent Purchase Agreement”) with MDx under which it paid MDx an additional $7.0 million in exchange for the assignment of certain other patent rights that were not covered by the License Agreement. The total $15.0 million paid by the Company pursuant to the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement and Patent Purchase Agreement, net of liabilities relieved of $6.6 million, was recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized over the estimated ten-year useful life of the licensed intellectual property through 2024, and such amortization is reported in cost of sales. The $6.6 million of liabilities relieved were related to historical milestones and accrued royalties under the License Agreement. As of September 30, 2017, an intangible asset of $9.4 million related to historical milestone payments made under the License Agreement and intangible assets acquired as part of the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement and Patent Purchase Agreement is reported in other long-term assets. As of December 31, 2016, an intangible asset of $1.6 million and a liability of $1.3 million related to historical milestone payments made under the License Agreement, were reported in other long-term assets and accrued liabilities, respectively. Amortization expense was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Amortization expense was $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The estimated remaining useful life of the intangible asset is seven years. The table below represents future amortization expense as of September 30, 2017: (In thousands) 2017 $ 335 2018 1,338 2019 1,338 2020 1,338 2021 1,338 Thereafter 3,680 $ 9,367 The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. There were no impairment losses for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill As more fully described in Note 11, during the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized goodwill of $2.0 million from the acquisition of Sampleminded, Inc., which was completed during the period. The Company will evaluate goodwill impairment on an annual basis or more frequently should an event or change in circumstance occur that indicate the carrying amount is in excess of the fair value. Other Intangible Assets As a result of the Sampleminded acquisition, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $1.0 million which was comprised of developed technology acquired of $0.9 million, customer relationships of $0.1 million, and non-compete agreements of $32,000. The intangible assets acquired are being amortized over the remaining useful life which was determined to be eight years for developed technology acquired, thirteen years for customer relationships, and five years for non-compete agreements. As of September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $20,000 in amortization expense. The table below represents estimated future amortization expense of these intangible assets as of September 30, 2017: (In thousands) 2017 $ 30 2018 118 2019 118 2020 118 2021 118 Thereafter 449 $ 951 The Company reviews these identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same because all outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded, as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s losses. The following potentially issuable common shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would have an anti-dilutive effect due to net losses for each period: September 30, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options 4,042 5,080 Shares issuable upon the release of restricted stock awards 6,164 5,989 10,206 11,069 Revenue Recognition Laboratory Service Revenue. The Company’s laboratory service revenues are generated by performing screening services using our Cologuard test, and the service is completed upon delivery of a test result to an ordering physician. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 954-605, Health Care Entities - Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on an accrual basis, net of contractual and other adjustments, when amounts that will ultimately be collected can be reasonably estimated. Contractual and other adjustments represent the difference between the list price (the billing rate) and the estimated aggregate reimbursement rate from payers and patients. Upon ultimate collection, the aggregate amount received from payers and patients where reimbursement was estimated is compared to previous collection estimates and, if necessary, the contractual allowance is adjusted. The estimates of amounts that will ultimately be collected require significant judgment by management, and the Company’s judgments will continue to evolve as it gains payment experience with payers and patients. Historically, in the absence of the ability to reasonably estimate the amount that will ultimately be collected for services, revenue was recognized upon cash receipt. Effective during the first quarter of 2017, the Company determined that it had the ability to reasonably estimate the amount that will ultimately be collected from all payers, including the impact of patient cost-share collections. Accordingly, the Company now recognizes revenue on an accrual basis for all billed claims. The components of laboratory service revenue, as recognized upon accrual or cash receipt, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In thousands) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Revenue recognized on an accrual basis $ 72,574 $ 24,510 $ 174,074 $ 57,592 Revenue recognized when cash is received — 3,605 4,509 6,543 Total $ 72,574 $ 28,115 $ 178,583 $ 64,135 Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value). The Company determines the cost of inventory using the first-in, first out method (“FIFO”). The Company estimates the recoverability of inventory by reference to internal estimates of future demands and product life cycles, including expiration. The Company periodically analyzes its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire prior to expected sale or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated net realizable value, and records a charge to cost of sales for such inventory, as appropriate. In addition, the Company's products are subject to strict quality control and monitoring which the Company performs throughout the manufacturing process. If certain batches or units of product no longer meet quality specifications or become obsolete due to expiration, the Company records a charge to cost of sales to write down such unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Direct and indirect manufacturing costs incurred during process validation and for other research and development activities, which are not permitted to be sold, have been expensed to research and development. Inventory consists of the following: September 30, December 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Raw materials $ 7,033 $ 2,408 Semi-finished and finished goods 11,031 4,425 Total inventory $ 18,064 $ 6,833 Foreign Currency Translation For the Company’s international subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at the period-end exchange rate or historical rates, as appropriate. Condensed consolidated statements of operations are translated at average exchange rates for the period. The cumulative translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in total Exact Sciences Corporation’s stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. |

MAYO LICENSE AGREEMENT | |
MAYO LICENSE AGREEMENT | (3) MAYO LICENSE AGREEMENT Overview As more fully described in the 2016 Form 10-K, in June 2009 the Company entered into a patent license agreement with MAYO Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“MAYO”). The Company’s license agreement with MAYO was amended and restated in February 2015 and further amended in January 2016. Under the license agreement, MAYO granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide license to certain MAYO patents and patent applications, as well as a non-exclusive, worldwide license with regard to certain MAYO know-how. As expanded by the January 2016 amendment to the license agreement, the scope of the license includes any screening, surveillance or diagnostic tests or tools for use in connection with any type of cancers, pre-cancers, diseases or conditions. Pursuant to the Company’s agreement with MAYO, the Company is required to pay MAYO a low-single-digit royalty on the Company’s net sales of products using the licensed MAYO intellectual property, with minimum annual royalty fees of $25,000 each year through 2033, the year the last patent expires. The January 2016 amendment to the MAYO license agreement established various low-single-digit royalty rates on net sales of current and future products and clarified how net sales will be calculated. As part of the amendment, the royalty rate on the Company’s net sales of Cologuard increased and, if in the future, improvements are made to the Cologuard product, the royalty rate may further increase, but, pursuant to the terms of the January 2016 amendment, would remain a low-single-digit percentage of net sales. In addition to royalties, the Company is required to pay MAYO cash of $0.2 million, $0.8 million and $2.0 million upon each product using the licensed MAYO intellectual property reaching $5.0 million, $20.0 million and $50.0 million in cumulative net sales, respectively. As part of the February 2015 amendment and restatement of the license agreement, the Company agreed to pay MAYO an additional $5.0 million, payable in five annual installments, through 2019. The Company paid MAYO the annual installment of $1.0 million in the first quarter of each of 2015 and 2016. The Company paid MAYO the 2017 installment in December 2016. The Company records the $1.0 million installments to prepaid expenses and other current assets and amortizes each installment over a twelve-month period commencing on February 1 of each year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company has recorded $0.3 million and $0.7 million in amortization of the installments, respectively. In addition, the Company is paying MAYO for research and development efforts. As part of the Company’s research collaboration with MAYO, the Company incurred charges of $1.1 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company made payments of $0.3 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company recorded an estimated liability of $1.9 million for research and development efforts as of September 30, 2017. The Company incurred charges of $0.8 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company made payments of $1.0 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded an estimated liability of $0.5 million for research and development efforts as of September 30, 2016. |

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | (4) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-Based Compensation Plans The Company maintains the 2010 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective July 27, 2017), the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the 2015 Inducement Award Plan, the 2016 Inducement Award Plan and the 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Stock Plans”). Stock-Based Compensation Expense The Company records stock-based compensation expense in connection with the amortization of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, stock purchase rights granted under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and stock options granted to employees, non-employee consultants and non-employee directors. The Company recorded $10.8 million and $23.0 million in stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company recorded $6.2 million and $16.8 million in stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Determining Fair Value Valuation and Recognition – The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of each market measure-based award is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. The fair value of service-based awards for each restricted stock unit award is determined on the date of grant using the closing stock price on that day. The estimated fair value of these awards is recognized to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. For awards issued to non-employees, the measurement date is the date when the performance is complete or when the award vests, whichever is the earliest. Accordingly, non-employee awards are re-measured at each reporting period until the final measurement date. The fair value of the award is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo pricing models utilize the following assumptions: Expected Term – Expected life of an option award is the average length of time over which the Company expects employees will exercise their options, which is based on historical experience with similar grants. Expected life of a market measure-based award is based on the applicable performance period. Expected Volatility - Expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical stock volatility data over the expected term of the awards. Risk-Free Interest Rate - The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo valuation models on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent expected term. Forfeitures – Beginning in 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“Update 2016-09”). With the adoption of Update 2016-09, forfeiture estimates are no longer required, and the effects of actual forfeitures are recorded at the time they occur. The impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet was a cumulative-effect adjustment of $0.4 million, increasing opening accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital. The fair value of each option and market measure-based award is based on the assumptions in the following table: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Option Plan Shares Risk-free interest rates 2.06% (1) 2.06% - 2.13% 1.48% - 1.69% Expected term (in years) 6.56 (1) 6.56 - 6.59 6.25 - 6.74 Expected volatility 62.5% (1) 62.5% - 62.9% 58.9% - 59.4% Dividend yield 0% (1) 0% 0% Weighted average fair value per share of options granted during the period $ 27.03 (1) $ 25.18 $ 3.17 Market Measure-Based Shares Risk-free interest rates (2) 0.76% (2) 0.76% - 0.91% Expected term (in years) (2) 2.43 (2) 2.43 - 2.84 Expected volatility (2) 79.6% (2) 68.3% - 79.6% Dividend yield (2) 0% (2) 0% Weighted average fair value per share of stock purchase rights granted during the period (2) $ 13.42 (2) $ 3.77 ESPP Shares Risk-free interest rates (3) (3) 0.98% - 1.28% 0.41% - 0.8% Expected term (in years) (3) (3) 0.5 - 2.0 0.5 - 2.0 Expected volatility (3) (3) 66.4% - 85.5% 70.1% - 92.7% Dividend yield (3) (3) 0% 0% Weighted average fair value per share of stock purchase rights granted during the period (3) (3) $ 13.05 $ 3.08 (1) The Company did not grant options under its 2010 Stock Plan during the period indicated.

Stock Option and Restricted Stock Activity A summary of stock option activity under the Stock Plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is as follows: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Aggregate Exercise Contractual Intrinsic Options Shares Price Term (Years) Value(1) (Aggregate intrinsic value in thousands) Outstanding, January 1, 2017 3,505,481 $ 7.00 5.5 Granted 942,997 21.68 Exercised (382,967) 8.75 Forfeited (23,879) 14.19 Outstanding, September 30, 2017 4,041,632 $ 10.22 5.9 $ 149,127 Exercisable, September 30, 2017 2,281,645 $ 5.81 3.6 $ 94,250 (1) The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding, exercisable and vested and expected to vest is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company’s common stock for options that had exercise prices that were lower than the $47.12 market price of the Company’s common stock at September 30, 2017. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $11.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, there was $100.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under all Stock Plans. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future forfeitures. The Company expects to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 3.0 years. A summary of restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity under the Stock Plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is as follows: Weighted Restricted Average Grant Shares Date Fair Value Outstanding, January 1, 2017 5,601,316 $ 9.19 Granted 1,946,736 31.81 Released (1,075,538) 14.14 Forfeited (308,471) 18.60 Outstanding, September 30, 2017 6,164,043 $ 15.16 |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | (5) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued authoritative guidance which requires that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy establishes and prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy established are as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. Fixed-income securities and mutual funds are valued using a third-party pricing agency. The valuation is based on observable inputs including pricing for similar assets and other observable market factors. There has been no material change from period to period. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt based on a market approach was approximately $4.5 million and $4.6 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and represent Level 2 measurements. When determining the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, the Company used market-based risk measurements, such as credit risk. The following table presents the Company’s fair value measurements as of September 30, 2017 along with the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall.

NEW MARKET TAX CREDIT | (6) NEW MARKET TAX CREDIT As more fully described in the 2016 Form 10-K, during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company received approximately $2.4 million in net proceeds from financing agreements related to working capital and capital improvements at one of its Madison, Wisconsin facilities. This financing arrangement was structured with an unrelated third party financial institution, an investment fund, and its majority owned community development entity in connection with the Company’s participation in transactions qualified under the federal New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) program, pursuant to Section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The $2.4 million was recorded in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The benefit of this net $2.4 million contribution will be recognized as a decrease in expenses, included in cost of sales, as the Company amortizes the contribution liability over the seven-year compliance period as it is being earned through the Company’s on-going compliance with the conditions of the NMTC program. The Company has recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million as a decrease of expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2017, the remaining balance of $1.4 million is included in Other Long-Term Liabilities. The Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.3 million as a decrease of expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2016, the remaining balance of $1.8 million was included in Other Long-Term Liabilities. The Company incurred approximately $0.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the above transactions, which are recorded as a direct deduction from the liability. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the agreements. |

The credit agreement is collateralized by the acquired building. Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at 4.15%. The Company made interest-only payments on the outstanding principal balance for the period between July 12, 2015 and September 12, 2015. Beginning on October 12, 2015 and continuing through May 12, 2019, the Company is required to make monthly principal and interest payments of $31,000. The final principal and interest payment due on the maturity date of June 12, 2019 is $4.4 million. Additionally, the Company has recorded $73,000 in mortgage issuance costs, which are recorded as a direct deduction from the mortgage liability. The issuance costs are being amortized through June 12, 2019. The Company has recorded $4,000 and $13,000 in amortization of mortgage issuance costs for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. |

WISCONSIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDITS. | |
WISCONSIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDITS | (8) WISCONSIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDITS During the first quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (“WEDC”) to earn $9.0 million in refundable tax credits if the Company expends $26.3 million in capital investments and establishes and maintains 758 full-time positions in the state of Wisconsin over a seven-year period. The tax credits earned are first applied against the tax liability otherwise due, and if there is no such liability present, the claim for tax credits will be reimbursed in cash to the Company. The maximum amount of the refundable tax credit to be earned for each year is fixed, and the Company earns the credits by meeting certain capital investment and job creation thresholds over the seven-year period. Should the Company earn and receive the job creation tax credits but not maintain those full-time positions through the end of the agreement, the Company may be required to pay those credits back to the WEDC. The Company records the earned tax credits as job creation and capital investments occur. The amount of tax credits earned is recorded as a liability and amortized as a reduction of operating expenses over the expected period of benefit. The tax credits earned from capital investment are recognized as an offset to depreciation expense over the expected life of the acquired capital assets. The tax credits earned related to job creation are recognized as an offset to operational expenses over the life of the agreement, as the Company is required to maintain the minimum level of full-time positions through the seven-year period. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has earned $6.4 million of tax credits and has received payment of $1.1 million from the WEDC. The unpaid portion is $5.3 million, of which $1.3 million is reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $4.0 million is reported in other long-term assets, reflecting when collection of the refundable tax credits is expected to occur. As of September 30, 2017, the Company also has recorded a $1.5 million liability in other short-term liabilities and a $3.1 million liability in other long-term liabilities, reflecting when the expected benefit of the tax credit amortization will reduce future operating expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company amortized $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of the tax credits earned as a reduction of operating expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company amortized $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of the tax credits earned as a reduction of operating expenses. |

ACQUISITIONS | (11) ACQUISITIONS On August 1, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Sampleminded, Inc. (“Sampleminded”), the primary operations of which were customized software development for laboratory information systems and clinical information systems, for cash consideration of $3.2 million and 86,357 of the Company’s restricted stock units. Prior to the acquisition, Sampleminded provided certain consulting and software support services to the Company, and it licensed certain software to the Company. The restricted stock units were recorded by the Company as employee stock-based compensation because their vesting is contingent upon continued employment with the Company of certain former stockholders of Sampleminded. The $3.2 million of cash consideration was allocated to the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired of $0.2 million, including $1.0 million in identifiable intangible assets (comprised of developed technology, customer relationships and non-compete agreements) and a residual amount of goodwill of $2.0 million. The purposes of acquisition were to reduce costs by bringing certain technology and expertise in-house and to prepare for anticipated future growth. |

After considering the Sampleminded acquisition completed on August 1, 2017 and the related deferred tax liability acquired as part of the acquisition, the projected post-combination results and all available evidence, the Company released $0.2 million of valuation allowance that was previously provided against the Company’s deferred tax assets. In accordance with ASC 805 740-30-3, the Company recorded this income tax benefit as a discrete item in the tax provision for the third quarter of 2017. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based on management’s determination that it is more likely than not that the benefit will not be realized. |

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | (13) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , (the “New Revenue Standard”) requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Additional disclosures will also be required to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The New Revenue Standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective method upon adoption. Adoption of the New Revenue Standard is required by the first quarter of 2018, and the Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company has completed its preliminary evaluation of the potential financial statement impact of the New Revenue Standard on prior and future reporting periods. The Company does not expect material changes to the timing of when the Company recognizes revenue or the method by which the Company measures its single revenue stream, lab service revenue. Further, regarding the contract acquisition cost component of the New Revenue Standard, the Company’s analysis supports use of the practical expedient when recognizing expense related to incremental costs incurred to acquire a contract, as the recovery of such costs is completed in less than one year’s time. Additionally, incremental costs to obtain contracts have been immaterial to date. Accordingly, the Company does not expect any material changes to the timing of when it recognizes expenses related to contract acquisition costs. The Company will continue its evaluation of the New Revenue Standard through the date of adoption. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“Update 2016-02”) which requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of Update 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates that the new guidance will impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it has several leases. In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, (“Update 2016-15”). Current GAAP either is unclear or does not include specific guidance on the eight cash flow classification issues included in the amendments in Update 2016-15. The amendments are an improvement to GAAP because they provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice. The amendments in Update 2016-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has evaluated Update 2016-15 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its statements of cash flows. In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, (“Update 2016-16”). This amendment improves the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Update 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of Update 2016-16 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control, (“Update 2016-17”). The amendments in Update 2016-17 change how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that variable interest entity. The amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The impact of adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows; Restricted Cash, (“Update 2016-18”). Update 2016-18 provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in Update 2016-18 should be adopted on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not have restricted cash. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, (“Update 2017-01”) in an effort to clarify the definition of a business, with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in Update 2017-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed for interim or annual periods for which the financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , (“Update 2017-03”) which states that an entity should evaluate ASUs that have been issued but not yet adopted to determine the effects of those ASUs on the entity’s financial statements when adopted. If the effect is unknown or cannot be reasonably estimated, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered, including a description of the effect of the accounting policies that the entity expects to apply, if determined, and a comparison to the entity’s current accounting policies, a description of the status of the entity’s process to implement the new standard and the significant implementation matters yet to be addressed. Transition guidance in certain issued but not yet adopted ASUs was updated to reflect Update 2017-03. Other than enhancements to the qualitative disclosures regarding the future adoption of new ASUs, adoption of Update 2017-03 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, (“Update 2017-04”). Update 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update is effective for public business entities for the first interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and will utilize this approach for any interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed in 2017. In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting , (“Update 2017-09”). Update 2017-09 provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments in Update 2017-09 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in Update 2017-09 should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN21
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 9 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2017 | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Exact Sciences Laboratories, LLC, Exact Sciences Finance Corporation, CG Growth, LLC, Sampleminded, LLC, Exact Sciences Europe LTD, Beijing Exact Sciences Medical Technology Company Limited, and variable interest entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References to “Exact”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” refer to Exact Sciences Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash on hand, demand deposits in bank, money market funds, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. |
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities carried at amortized cost are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive loss. The amortized cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the straight-line method. Such amortization is included in investment income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in investment income. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s investments were comprised of fixed income investments, and all were deemed available-for-sale. The objectives of the Company’s investment strategy are to provide liquidity and safety of principal while striving to achieve the highest rate of return consistent with these two objectives. The Company’s investment policy limits investments to certain types of instruments issued by institutions with investment grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer. Investments in which the Company has the ability and intent, if necessary, to liquidate, in order to support its current operations (including those with a contractual term greater than one year from the date of purchase), are classified as current. All of the Company’s investments are considered current. There were no realized losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Realized gains were $17,000 and $21,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We periodically review our investments in unrealized loss positions for other-than-temporary impairments. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, significant quantitative and qualitative assessments and estimates regarding credit ratings, collateralized support, the length of time and significance of a security’s loss position, our intent not to sell the security, and whether it is more likely than not that we will have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no investments were identified with other-than-temporary declines in value. Available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2017 consisted of the following: September 30, 2017 Gains in Accumulated Losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Other Comprehensive Estimated Fair (In thousands) Amortized Cost Income Income Value Corporate bonds $ 213,058 $ 27 $ (80) $ 213,005 Asset backed securities 101,167 2 (56) 101,113 U.S. government agency securities 64,972 — (103) 64,869 Commercial paper 20,894 2 (1) 20,895 Certificates of deposit 11,800 2 — 11,802 Total available-for-sale securities $ 411,891 $ 33 $ (240) $ 411,684 Available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2016 consisted of the following: December 31, 2016 Gains in Accumulated Losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Other Comprehensive Estimated Fair (In thousands) Amortized Cost Income Income Value Corporate bonds $ 137,013 $ 17 $ (93) $ 136,937 Asset backed securities 55,667 3 (30) 55,640 U.S. government agency securities 49,591 3 (120) 49,474 Commercial paper 19,069 8 (1) 19,076 Certificates of deposit 1,053 — (1) 1,052 Total available-for-sale securities $ 262,393 $ 31 $ (245) $ 262,179 |
Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were as follows: Accumulated Cumulative Unrealized Other Translation Gain (Loss) Comprehensive (In thousands) Adjustment on Securities Income (Loss) Balance at December 31, 2016 $ (204) $ (214) $ (418) Other comprehensive loss before reclassifications 97 (3) 94 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss — 10 10 Net current period change in accumulated other comprehensive loss 97 7 104 Balance at September 30, 2017 $ (107) $ (207) $ (314) The amounts recognized in AOCI for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were as follows: Accumulated Cumulative Unrealized Other Translation Gain (Loss) Comprehensive (In thousands) Adjustment on Securities Income (Loss) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 11 $ (444) $ (433) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications (164) 346 182 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss — 64 64 Net current period change in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (164) 410 246 Balance at September 30, 2016 $ (153) $ (34) $ (187) Amounts reclassified from AOCI for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Affected Line Item in the Nine Months Ended September 30, Details about AOCI Components (In thousands) Statement of Operations 2017 2016 Change in value of available-for-sale investments Sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments Investment income $ 10 $ 64 Total reclassifications $ 10 $ 64 |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred; additions and improvements are capitalized. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are as follows: Estimated Asset Classification Useful Life Laboratory equipment 3 - 5 years Computer equipment and computer software 3 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of the remaining lease term or useful life Building Improvements Lesser of the remaining building life or useful life Furniture and fixtures 3 years Buildings 30 years At September 30, 2017, the Company had $20.9 million of assets under construction which consisted of $10.0 million related to machinery and equipment, $8.0 million related to buildings and leasehold improvements, $2.7 million related to computer equipment and computer software projects and $0.2 million related to furniture and fixtures. Depreciation will begin on these assets once they are placed into service. The Company expects to incur an additional $8.4 million to complete the machinery and equipment, $11.9 million to complete the building and leasehold improvements, and minimal costs to complete the computer equipment and computer software projects and furniture and fixtures. These projects are expected to be completed in 2017 and 2018. There were no impairment losses for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. |
Software Capitalization Policy | Software Capitalization Policy Software development costs related to internal use software are incurred in three stages of development: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage, and the post-implementation stage. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred during the application development stage that meet the criteria for capitalization are capitalized and amortized, when the software is ready for its intended use, using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. |
Patent Costs and Intangible Asset | Patent Costs and Intangible Assets Patent costs, which have historically consisted of related legal fees, are capitalized as incurred, only if the Company determines that there is some probable future economic benefit to be derived from the transaction. A capitalized patent is amortized over its estimated useful life, beginning when such patent is approved. Capitalized patent costs are expensed upon disapproval, upon a decision by the Company to no longer pursue the patent or when the related intellectual property is either sold or deemed to be no longer of value to the Company. The Company determined that all patent costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 should be expensed and not capitalized as the future economic benefit to be derived from the transactions cannot be determined. Under a technology license and royalty agreement entered into with MDxHealth (“MDx”), dated July 26, 2010 (as subsequently amended, the “License Agreement”), the Company was required to pay MDx milestone-based royalties on sales of products or services covered by the licensed intellectual property. Once the achievement of a milestone occurred or was considered probable, an intangible asset and corresponding liability was reported in other long-term assets and accrued liabilities, respectively. The intangible asset is being amortized over the estimated ten-year useful life of the licensed intellectual property through 2024, and such amortization is reported in cost of sales. The liability was relieved once the milestone was achieved and payment was made. Payment for all remaining milestones under the License Agreement was made as part of the Royalty Buy-Out agreement outlined below. Effective April 25, 2017, the Company and MDx entered into a Royalty Buy-Out Agreement (“Royalty Buy-Out Agreement”), which terminated the License Agreement. Pursuant to the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement, the Company paid MDx a one-time fee of $8.0 million in exchange for an assignment of certain patents covered by the License Agreement and the elimination of all ongoing royalties and other payments by the Company to MDx under the License Agreement. Also included in the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement is a mutual release of liabilities, which includes all amounts previously accrued under the License Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement, the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (“Patent Purchase Agreement”) with MDx under which it paid MDx an additional $7.0 million in exchange for the assignment of certain other patent rights that were not covered by the License Agreement. The total $15.0 million paid by the Company pursuant to the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement and Patent Purchase Agreement, net of liabilities relieved of $6.6 million, was recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized over the estimated ten-year useful life of the licensed intellectual property through 2024, and such amortization is reported in cost of sales. The $6.6 million of liabilities relieved were related to historical milestones and accrued royalties under the License Agreement. As of September 30, 2017, an intangible asset of $9.4 million related to historical milestone payments made under the License Agreement and intangible assets acquired as part of the Royalty Buy-Out Agreement and Patent Purchase Agreement is reported in other long-term assets. As of December 31, 2016, an intangible asset of $1.6 million and a liability of $1.3 million related to historical milestone payments made under the License Agreement, were reported in other long-term assets and accrued liabilities, respectively. Amortization expense was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Amortization expense was $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The estimated remaining useful life of the intangible asset is seven years. The table below represents future amortization expense as of September 30, 2017: (In thousands) 2017 $ 335 2018 1,338 2019 1,338 2020 1,338 2021 1,338 Thereafter 3,680 $ 9,367 The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. There were no impairment losses for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. |
Patent costs and intangible assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill As more fully described in Note 11, during the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized goodwill of $2.0 million from the acquisition of Sampleminded, Inc., which was completed during the period. The Company will evaluate goodwill impairment on an annual basis or more frequently should an event or change in circumstance occur that indicate the carrying amount is in excess of the fair value. Other Intangible Assets As a result of the Sampleminded acquisition, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $1.0 million which was comprised of developed technology acquired of $0.9 million, customer relationships of $0.1 million, and non-compete agreements of $32,000. The intangible assets acquired are being amortized over the remaining useful life which was determined to be eight years for developed technology acquired, thirteen years for customer relationships, and five years for non-compete agreements. As of September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $20,000 in amortization expense. The table below represents estimated future amortization expense of these intangible assets as of September 30, 2017: (In thousands) 2017 $ 30 2018 118 2019 118 2020 118 2021 118 Thereafter 449 $ 951 The Company reviews these identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same because all outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded, as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s losses. The following potentially issuable common shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would have an anti-dilutive effect due to net losses for each period: September 30, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options 4,042 5,080 Shares issuable upon the release of restricted stock awards 6,164 5,989 10,206 11,069 |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Laboratory Service Revenue. The Company’s laboratory service revenues are generated by performing screening services using our Cologuard test, and the service is completed upon delivery of a test result to an ordering physician. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 954-605, Health Care Entities - Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue on an accrual basis, net of contractual and other adjustments, when amounts that will ultimately be collected can be reasonably estimated. Contractual and other adjustments represent the difference between the list price (the billing rate) and the estimated aggregate reimbursement rate from payers and patients. Upon ultimate collection, the aggregate amount received from payers and patients where reimbursement was estimated is compared to previous collection estimates and, if necessary, the contractual allowance is adjusted. The estimates of amounts that will ultimately be collected require significant judgment by management, and the Company’s judgments will continue to evolve as it gains payment experience with payers and patients. Historically, in the absence of the ability to reasonably estimate the amount that will ultimately be collected for services, revenue was recognized upon cash receipt. Effective during the first quarter of 2017, the Company determined that it had the ability to reasonably estimate the amount that will ultimately be collected from all payers, including the impact of patient cost-share collections. Accordingly, the Company now recognizes revenue on an accrual basis for all billed claims. The components of laboratory service revenue, as recognized upon accrual or cash receipt, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In thousands) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Revenue recognized on an accrual basis $ 72,574 $ 24,510 $ 174,074 $ 57,592 Revenue recognized when cash is received — 3,605 4,509 6,543 Total $ 72,574 $ 28,115 $ 178,583 $ 64,135 |
Inventory | Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value (net realizable value). The Company determines the cost of inventory using the first-in, first out method (“FIFO”). The Company estimates the recoverability of inventory by reference to internal estimates of future demands and product life cycles, including expiration. The Company periodically analyzes its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire prior to expected sale or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated net realizable value, and records a charge to cost of sales for such inventory, as appropriate. In addition, the Company's products are subject to strict quality control and monitoring which the Company performs throughout the manufacturing process. If certain batches or units of product no longer meet quality specifications or become obsolete due to expiration, the Company records a charge to cost of sales to write down such unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Direct and indirect manufacturing costs incurred during process validation and for other research and development activities, which are not permitted to be sold, have been expensed to research and development. Inventory consists of the following: September 30, December 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Raw materials $ 7,033 $ 2,408 Semi-finished and finished goods 11,031 4,425 Total inventory $ 18,064 $ 6,833 |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation For the Company’s international subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at the period-end exchange rate or historical rates, as appropriate. Condensed consolidated statements of operations are translated at average exchange rates for the period. The cumulative translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in total Exact Sciences Corporation’s stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
