| Business combinations | 3. Business combinations AltaVoice On January 6, 2017, the Company acquired AltaVoice (formerly Patient Crossroads, Inc.), a privately-owned patient-centered data company with a global platform for collecting, curating, coordinating, and delivering safeguarded data from patients and clinicians. The acquisition, complemented by several other strategic partnerships, will expand the Company's genome network, designed to connect patients, clinicians, advocacy organizations, researchers and therapeutic developers to accelerate the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of hereditary disease. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on January 6, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of AltaVoice for total purchase consideration of $12.4 million, payable in the Company’s common stock, as follows:
(a)
payment of $5.5 million through the issuance of 641,126 shares of the Company’s common stock;
(b)
payment of $5.0 million in the Company’s common stock, payable on March 31, 2018, with the common shares deliverable equal to $5.0 million divided by the trailing average share price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 days preceding March 31, 2018;
(c)
payment of $5.0 million in the Company’s common stock, contingently payable on March 31, 2018 if a milestone based on a certain threshold of revenue is achieved during 2017, with the shares deliverable equal to $5.0 million divided by the trailing average share price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 days preceding March 31, 2018; or should the foregoing milestone not be achieved, then there is a new contingent milestone based on achieving a revenue target during 2017 and 2018. Should the new milestone revenue target be achieved, then on March 31, 2019, a payment of up to $5.0 million in the Company’s common stock would be payable. The actual payout is dependent upon the 2017 and 2018 revenue target (capped at $14.0 million) times 75% less $5.5 million. This formula in effect caps the possible payout amount at $5.0 million in the Company’s common shares. The number of shares to be issued will be equal to the payout amount divided by the trailing average share price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 days preceding March 31, 2019. The first payment of $5.5 million was classified as equity. The second payment was discounted to $4.7 million and recorded as a liability, and will be accreted to fair value at each reporting date until the extinguishment of the liability on March 31, 2018. The third payment, representing contingent consideration, was determined to have a fair value of $2.2 million and was recorded as a liability. The Company’s calculation of this fair value was based on a Monte Carlo simulation, as well as estimates of the 30-day trailing price of the Company’s stock at certain dates, its volatility assumptions and its revenue forecast. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, For the second payment, whose acquisition-date fair value was $4.7 million, the Company recorded an accretion loss of $0.2 million in other income (expense), net, for the year ended December 31, 2017. This accretion loss resulted from adjustments to the discounted value of the second payment, reflecting the passage of time. For the third payment, whose contingent acquisition-date fair value was $2.2 million, the Company recorded remeasurement losses of $1.6 million in operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2017. This remeasurement loss reflects an updated estimation of fair value of the third payment, based upon achieving a revenue target during 2017 and 2018, as the milestone based on a certain threshold of revenue to be achieved during 2017 was not met. The principal inputs affecting that estimation were updates to the Company’s revenue forecasts and the passage of time. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting amount of goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The acquisition of AltaVoice resulted in $9.4 million of goodwill. The Company believes this goodwill consists principally of expected synergies to be realized by combining capabilities, technology and data to accelerate the use of genetic information for the diagnosis and treatment of hereditary diseases. In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill created as a result of the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $1.4 million relating to the tax consequence of recognizing the fair value of the acquisition-related intangibles, with an equal offset to deferred tax liability. The results of operations of AltaVoice for the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2017 are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to ASC 805, the Company incurred and expensed approximately $159,000 in acquisition and transitional costs associated with the acquisition of AltaVoice during the year ended December 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2017, which were primarily general and administrative related. Ommdom On June 11, 2017, the Company acquired Ommdom, Inc. (“Ommdom”), a privately-held company that develops, commercializes and sells hereditary risk assessment and management software, including CancerGene Connect, a cancer genetic counseling platform. The acquisition expands Invitae’s suite of genome management offerings designed to help patients and clinicians use genetic information as part of mainstream medical care. CancerGene Connect is a platform for collecting and managing genetic family histories. The platform uses a cloud-based, mobile friendly patient interface to gather family history information from patients prior to a clinician appointment. Then, analysis tools analyze patients’ predisposition to disease and provide actionable analysis to inform therapeutic decisions, such as genetic testing or treatment approaches. In addition, the platform provides clinicians with the ability to look beyond the individual to understand trends across all of their patients. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Exchange Agreement entered into on June 11, 2017, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Ommdom for consideration of $6.1 million, payable entirely in the Company’s common stock. There was no cash consideration nor any contingent payments associated with the acquisition, other than a hold-back amount of $613,000. Per the terms of the agreement, the Company will issue shares of its common stock as follows:
(a)
payment of $5.5 million through the issuance of 600,108 shares of the Company’s common stock; and
(b)
payment of $0.6 million through the issuance of 66,582 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a hold-back amount, and payable on the twelve-month anniversary of the acquisition date. The first payment of $5.5 million was classified as equity. The second payment of $0.6 million was recorded as a stock payable liability and will be reclassified to equity upon the issuance of the Company’s common stock on the twelve-month anniversary of the acquisition date. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting amount of goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The acquisition of Ommdom resulted in the recognition of $4.0 million of goodwill. The Company believes this goodwill consists principally of expected synergies to be realized by expanding the Company’s suites of genome management offerings designed to help patients and clinicians use genetic information as part of mainstream medical care. In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill will not be amortized but rather will be tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill created as a result of the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $434,000 relating to the tax consequence of recognizing the fair value of the acquisition-related intangibles, with an equal offset to deferred tax liability. The results of operations of Ommdom for the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2017 are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to ASC 805, during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred and expensed approximately $164,000 in acquisition and transitional costs associated with the acquisition of Ommdom, which were primarily general and administrative related. Good Start Genetics On August 4, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the fully diluted equity of Good Start, a privately-held molecular diagnostics company focused on preimplantation and carrier screening for inherited disorders. The acquisition of Good Start is intended to further Invitae’s intention to create a comprehensive genetic information platform providing high-quality, affordable genetic information coupled with world-class clinical expertise to inform healthcare decisions throughout every stage of an individual’s life. The purchase consideration for the Good Start acquisition consisted of the assumption of the net liabilities of Good Start of $24.4 million at the acquisition date, August 4, 2017. Immediately subsequent to the acquisition of Good Start, the Company paid $18.4 million in cash to settle the outstanding notes payable, accrued interest and related costs. In addition, and immediately subsequent to the acquisition, the Company settled the outstanding convertible promissory notes payable through:
(a)
payment of $11.9 million through the issuance of 1,148,283 shares of the Company’s common stock; and
(b)
payment of $3.6 million through the issuance of 343,986 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a hold-back amount payable on the one-year anniversary of the acquisition date. Also in connection with the acquisition of Good Start and immediately subsequent to the acquisition, the Company paid bonuses to certain members of Good Start’s management team through:
(a)
payment of $0.9 million through the issuance of 83,025 shares of the Company’s common stock; and
(b)
payment of $0.4 million through the issuance of 37,406 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a hold-back amount payable on the one-year anniversary of the acquisition date. These bonus payments were recorded as general and administrative expense. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. The amount recorded as accounts receivable is provisional as the Company expects to receive future cash collections pertaining to Good Start revenue activities completed but not recognized at the acquisition date. The amount recorded as deferred tax liability, zero as of December 31, 2017, is provisional because certain information and analysis related to Good Start’s historical net operating losses that may affect the Company’s valuation is still being obtained or reviewed. Thus, the provisional measurement of fair value discussed above is subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting amount of goodwill. At acquisition date, the Company also recorded $4.8 million as a provisional amount for a deferred tax liability because certain information and analysis related to Good Start’s historical net operating losses that may affect the Company’s initial valuation was still being obtained or reviewed at that time. This provisional amount for the deferred tax liability was subsequently reversed during the fourth quarter of 2017 based on the results of further analysis of Good Start’s historical net operating losses.

The results of operations of Good Start for the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2017 are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to ASC 805, the Company incurred and expensed approximately $1.7 million in acquisition and transitional costs associated with the acquisition of Good Start during the year ended December 31, 2017, which were recorded as general and administrative expense. CombiMatrix On November 14, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of CombiMatrix in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of July 31, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Coronado Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and CombiMatrix, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into CombiMatrix, with CombiMatrix surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). At the closing of the Merger, the Company issued shares of its common stock to (i) CombiMatrix’s common stockholders, at an exchange ratio of 0.8692 of a share of the Company’s common stock (the “Merger Exchange Ratio”) for each share of CombiMatrix common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, (ii) CombiMatrix’s Series F preferred stockholders, at the Merger Exchange Ratio for each share of CombiMatrix common stock underlying Series F preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, (iii) holders of outstanding and unexercised in-the-money CombiMatrix stock options, which were fully accelerated to the extent of any applicable vesting period and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Merger Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of CombiMatrix common stock issuable upon exercise of such option, minus the number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the aggregate exercise price for such option by $9.491 (the “Invitae Trailing Average Share Value”), and (iv) holders of outstanding and unsettled CombiMatrix restricted stock units, which were fully accelerated to the extent of any applicable vesting period and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of CombiMatrix common stock that were subject to such restricted stock unit by the Merger Exchange Ratio. In addition, at the closing of the Merger, (a) all outstanding and unexercised out-of-the money CombiMatrix stock options were cancelled and terminated without the right to receive any consideration, (b) all CombiMatrix Series D Warrants and Series F Warrants outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were assumed by the Company and converted into warrants to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of CombiMatrix common stock subject to such warrants by the Merger Exchange Ratio, and with the exercise price adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price of the CombiMatrix common stock subject to such warrants by the Merger Exchange Ratio, and (c) certain entitlements under CombiMatrix’s executive compensation transaction bonus plan (the “Transaction Bonus Plan”) were paid in shares of the Company’s common stock or RSUs to be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. All outstanding and unexercised CombiMatrix Series A, Series B, Series C, Series E, and PIPE warrants were repurchased by CombiMatrix prior to closing pursuant to that certain CombiMatrix Common Stock Purchase Warrants Repurchase Agreement dated July 11, 2016. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,703,389 shares of its common stock as follows:
(a)
payment of $20.5 million through the issuance of 2,611,703 shares of the Company’s common stock to holders of CombiMatrix common stock outstanding;
(b)
payment of $0.7 million through the issuance of 85,219 shares of the Company’s RSUs to holders of outstanding and unsettled CombiMatrix restricted stock units.
(c)
payment of $26,000 through the issuance of 3,323 shares of the Company’s common stock to holders of outstanding and unexercised in-the-money CombiMatrix stock options; and
(d)
payment of $25,000 through the issuance of 3,144 shares of the Company’s common stock to holders of CombiMatrix Series F preferred stock. In addition, and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,077,273 shares of its common stock as follows:
(a)
payment of $7.4 million through the issuance of warrants to purchase a total of 1,739,689 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all outstanding CombiMatrix Series F warrants; and
(b)
payment of $1,000 through the issuance of warrants to purchase a total of 337,584 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all outstanding CombiMatrix Series D warrants. In connection with the acquisition of CombiMatrix, the Company paid bonuses to certain members of CombiMatrix’s management team through:
(a)
payment of $1.7 million through the issuance of common stock and RSUs totaling 214,976 shares of the Company’s common stock to settle payments pursuant to CombiMatrix’s executive compensation transaction bonus plan (the “Transaction Bonus Plan”), recorded as post-combination compensation expense and included in general and administrative expense; and
(b)
payment of $0.2 million through the issuance of 22,966 shares of the Company’s common stock to settle payments pursuant to the Transaction Bonus Plan, recorded as an assumed liability at the acquisition date. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. The amount recorded as deferred tax liability, zero at December 31, 2017, is provisional because certain information and analysis related to CombiMatrix’s tax attributes and ownership change history that may affect the Company’s valuation is still being obtained or reviewed. Thus, the provisional measurement of fair value discussed above is subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting amount of goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The acquisition of CombiMatrix resulted in the recognition of $8.7 million of goodwill. The Company believes this goodwill consists principally of expected synergies to be realized by expanding the Company’s suite of genome management offerings designed to help patients and clinicians use genetic information as part of mainstream medical care. In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill will not be amortized but rather will be tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill created as a result of the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations of CombiMatrix for the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2017 are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to ASC 805, the Company incurred and expensed approximately $1.8 million in acquisition and transitional costs associated with the acquisition of CombiMatrix during the year ended December 31, 2017, which were recorded as general and administrative expense. Pro Forma Financial Information The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company, AltaVoice, Ommdom, Good Start and CombiMatrix on an unaudited pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of each of the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been calculated after adjusting the results of the Company, AltaVoice, Ommdom, Good Start and CombiMatrix to reflect the business combination accounting effects resulting from the acquisitions. These accounting effects consist of income tax benefits relating to the tax consequences of recognizing fair value of acquired intangible assets, amortization expense from acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense relating to acquisitions. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of each of the periods presented. The pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2017 combines the adjusted results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017, which include the adjusted results of AltaVoice subsequent to January 6, 2017, the adjusted results of Ommdom subsequent to June 11, 2017, the adjusted results of Good Start subsequent to August 4, 2017 and the adjusted results of CombiMatrix for the period subsequent to November 14, 2017 (the acquisition dates for AltaVoice, Ommdom, Good Start and CombiMatrix, respectively), with the adjusted historical results for AltaVoice for the period from January 1, 2017 to January 6, 2017, the adjusted historical results for Ommdom for the period from January 1, 2017 to June 11, 2017, the adjusted historical results of Good Start for the period from January 1, 2017 to August 4, 2017, and the adjusted historical results of CombiMatrix for the period from January 1, 2017 to November 14, 2017. The pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2016 combines the adjusted historical results for the Company for those periods, with the adjusted historical results for AltaVoice, Ommdom, Good Start and CombiMatrix for the same periods.
