Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding financial reporting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the 2022 Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, to present fairly our condensed consolidated financial position and our results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other future annual or interim period. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation. Revisions of prior period consolidated financial statements Capitalized software development costs related to hosting arrangements that are service contracts should be classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. We made immaterial revisions to amounts previously reported on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 in order to reclassify capitalized cloud computing arrangement expenditures from investing activities to operating activities. The table below reflects the revisions: Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 (in thousands) As Previously Reported Reclassification Revised Operating Activities Cloud computing arrangement expenditures $ — $ (5,339) $ (5,339) Net cash used in operating activities $ (30,937) $ (5,339) $ (36,276) Investing Activities Purchases of property and equipment $ (7,477) $ 5,339 $ (2,138) Net cash provided by investing activities $ 8,886 $ 5,339 $ 14,225 Supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing and financing activities: Purchase of property and equipment included in accounts payable $ 533 $ 332 $ 865 The prior misclassification of these capitalized cloud computing arrangement expenditures was not material to the previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions which form the basis of amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the standalone selling prices of our performance obligations; timing of revenue recognition; fair value measurements; net realizable value of inventory; income taxes; and the fair value of intangible assets acquired in business combinations. We base our estimates on current facts and circumstances, historical experience, forecasted results, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. We obtain reports from third-party valuation experts to inform and support estimates related to certain fair value measurements. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are unsecured. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with major financial institutions. In certain accounts, we maintain cash balances in excess of federally insured limits. We have not experienced losses in these accounts and believe that we are not exposed to significant risk. Significant customers are those that represent more than 10% of total revenues for any period presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or that represent more than 10% of the gross accounts receivable balance as of either balance sheet date presented. The table below sets forth percentages of revenue and gross accounts receivable attributable to significant customers: Accounts Receivable Revenue June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Customer A 19% 11% 28% * 36% 25% Customer B (1) 43% 51% * * * 10% Customer C * * 14% * * * (1) All revenue related to accounts receivable from Customer B was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022. * less than 10% International sales entail a variety of risks, including currency exchange fluctuations, longer payment cycles, and greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection. Customers outside the United States collectively represent 53% and 33% of our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and represent 59% and 40% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Customers outside of the United States collectively represented 32% and 23% of our gross accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Certain components included in our products require customization and are obtained from a single source or a limited number of suppliers. Business Combinations We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations . Application of this method of accounting requires that (i) identifiable assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed generally be measured and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and (ii) the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. Transaction costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred and classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, especially with respect to intangible assets. During the measurement period, which extends one year from the acquisition date, we may record certain adjustments to the carrying value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Contingent Consideration Acquisition-related contingent consideration was initially recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at its acquisition-date estimated fair value, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Contingent consideration liabilities contractually due beyond 12 months are recorded in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable by market participants and thus represents a Level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted the requirements of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), along with the subsequently issued guidance amending and clarifying various aspects of ASU 2016-13, using the modified retrospective method of adoption. In accordance with that method, the comparative periods’ information continues to be reported under the relevant accounting guidance in effect for that period. For the current period, the standard replaces the existing incurred credit loss model with the current expected credit losses model for financial instruments, including accounts receivable, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for expected credit losses. We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The estimation of the allowance for expected credit losses is based on historical loss experience, the current aging status of receivables, current and estimated future economic and market conditions, and specific customer accounts considered to be at risk or uncollectible. We write off accounts receivable against the allowance for expected credit losses when we determine a balance is uncollectible and cease collection efforts. We did not write off any material accounts receivable balances during the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The non-current portion of accounts receivable primarily consists of guaranteed minimum fixed royalty payments owed to us under licensing agreements. Non-current accounts receivable are recorded net of significant financing components. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a standard cost system, whereby the standard costs are updated periodically to reflect current costs. We estimate the recoverability of inventory by referencing estimates of future demands and product life cycles, including expiration. We periodically analyze our inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire prior to expected usage, no longer meets quality specifications, or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated net realizable value, and record a charge to cost of revenue for such inventory as appropriate. Inventory that is not expected to be used within 12 months of the balance sheet date is classified as non-current inventory in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intangible Assets Intangible assets primarily consists of acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”). IPR&D relates to substantial research and development efforts that are incomplete at the acquisition date. IPR&D intangible assets are considered indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. During the development phase, these assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Once the IPR&D activities are completed, the intangible asset is amortized over its useful life on a straight-line basis. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price from business combinations over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may be impaired. All of our goodwill is assigned to our one reporting unit. We perform impairment testing by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If we conclude that that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative test is required. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an impairment of goodwill and an impairment loss would be recorded. The impairment loss is calculating by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit less the carrying amount, including goodwill. Goodwill impairment would be limited to the carrying value of goodwill. There were no goodwill impairment losses recorded in any period presented. Software Development Costs Internal-Use Software The Company capitalizes certain internal and external costs related to the acquisition and development of internal-use software or cloud computing arrangements during the application development stages of projects. The costs incurred for development of software intended for internal use and cloud computing arrangements are capitalized in accordance with ASC 350-40, Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software. These costs are included in property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the software is ready for its intended use, the Company amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, or, for cloud computing service arrangements, over the term of the hosting arrangement. Costs incurred during the preliminary project or the post-implementation/operation stages of the project are expensed as incurred. Software Developed for Sale The costs incurred for the development of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are capitalized in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed , when technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility generally occurs when all planning, design, coding and testing activities are completed that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements. The establishment of technological feasibility is an ongoing assessment of judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future revenues, estimated economic life and changes in technology. Capitalized software costs include direct labor and related expenses for software development for new products. Capitalized software costs are included in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Costs to develop software to be sold are not yet subject to amortization as our software to be sold was not available for general release as of June 30, 2023. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate a long-lived asset (or asset group) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist and the undiscounted future cash flows that the asset is expected to generate are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded to write down the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach. There were no impairment losses recorded in any period presented. Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in other long-term assets, and operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate in our leases is generally unknown, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. We give consideration to our credit risk, term of the lease, total lease payments and adjust for the impacts of collateral, as necessary, when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. Operating lease ROU assets include lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. When the lease incentives specify a maximum level of reimbursement and we are reasonably certain to incur reimbursable costs equal to or exceeding this level, we include the lease incentive in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities at commencement. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise any such options. Lease costs for our operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. However, we have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our existing classes of assets. Therefore, the lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. We have also elected to not apply the recognition requirement to any short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less. We monitor for events or changes in circumstances that may require a reassessment or impairment of our leases, at which time our ROU assets for operating leases may be reduced by impairment losses. Warrant Liabilities During February 2021, in connection with CMLS II’s initial public offering, CMLS II issued 5,519,991 warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share. Simultaneously, with the consummation of the CMLS II initial public offering, CMLS II issued 5,013,333 warrants through a private placement (the “Private Placement Warrants”, and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at $11.50 per share. All of the Warrants were outstanding as of June 30, 2023. We classify the Warrants as liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as these instruments are precluded from being indexed to our own stock given that the terms allow for a settlement adjustment that does not meet the scope for the fixed-for-fixed exception in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Since the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-40, we recorded these warrants as long-term liabilities at fair value on the date of the SPAC Merger, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting date. See Note 11, Stockholders' Equity , for more information on the Warrants. Earn-Out Liability As a result of the SPAC Merger, additional shares of Common Stock were provided to SomaLogic Operating shareholders and to certain employees and directors of SomaLogic (“Earn-Out Service Providers”) of up to 3,500,125 and 1,499,875, respectively (the “Earn-Out Shares”). The Earn-Out Shares are payable if the price of our Common Stock is greater than or equal to $20.00 for a period of at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days at any time between the 13- and 24-month anniversary of the closing date of the SPAC Merger (the “Triggering Event”). Any Earn-Out Shares issuable to an Earn-Out Service Provider (the “Service Provider Earn-Outs”) shall be issued only if such individual continues to provide services (whether as an employee or director) through the date of occurrence of the corresponding Triggering Event (or a change in control acceleration event, if applicable) that causes such Earn-Out Shares to become issuable. Any Earn-Out Shares that are forfeited pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be reallocated to the SomaLogic Operating shareholders in accordance with their respective pro rata Earn-Out Shares. The Earn-Out Shares granted to shareholders are recognized as a liability in accordance with ASC 815. The liability was included as part of the consideration transferred in the SPAC Merger and was recorded at fair value. The earn-out liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized within change in fair value of earn-out liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue from sales to customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation. We recognize revenue when or as control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Payment terms may vary by customer, are based on customary commercial terms, and are generally less than one year. We do not adjust revenue for the effects of a significant financing component for contracts where the period between the transfer of the good or service and collection is one year or less. We expense incremental costs to obtain a contract when incurred since the amortization period of the asset that would otherwise be recognized is one year or less. Assay Services Revenue We generate assay services revenue primarily from the sale of SomaScan ® services. SomaScan ® service revenue is derived from performing the SomaScan ® assay on customer samples to generate data on protein biomarkers. Revenue from SomaScan ® services is recognized at the time the analysis data or report is delivered to the customer, which is when control has been transferred to the customer. SomaScan ® services are sold at a fixed price per sample without any volume discounts, rebates, or refunds. The delivery of each assay data report is a separate performance obligation. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price must be allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation as there are few directly comparable products in the market and factors such as customer size are factored into the determination of selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on amounts invoiced to customers in observable transactions. Product Revenue Product revenue primarily consists of equipment and kit sales to customers that assay samples in their own laboratories, referred to as authorized sites. Equipment is generally accounted for as a bundle with installation, qualification and training services. Revenue is recognized based on the progress made toward achieving the performance obligation utilizing input methods, including costs incurred. Revenue from kit sales is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Collaboration Revenue In July 2011, NEC Corporation (“NEC”) and SomaLogic entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “SAA”) to develop a professional software tool to enable SomaScan ® customers to easily access and interpret the highly multiplexed proteomic data generated by SomaLogic’s SomaScan ® assay technology in the United States. To support this development, NEC made an upfront payment of $12.0 million. This agreement includes a clause whereby if there is a material breach of the contract or change in control of SomaLogic, we may be required to pay a fee to terminate the agreement. We determined that the SAA met the criteria set forth in ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements , (“ASC 808”) because both parties were active participants and were exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on commercial failure or success. We recorded the upfront payment as deferred revenue to be recognized over the period of performance of 15 years. The revenue was recorded in collaboration revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In March 2020, NEC and SomaLogic mutually terminated the SAA and concurrently SomaLogic and NEC Solution Innovators, Ltd. (“NES”), a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC, entered into a new arrangement, the Joint Development & Commercialization Agreement (the “JDCA”), to develop and commercialize SomaScan ® services in Japan. NES agreed to make annual payments of $2.0 million for five years, for a total of $10.0 million, in exchange for research and development activities, as described below. We determined the JDCA should be accounted for as a modification of the SAA. Therefore, the remaining SAA deferred revenue balance as of the date of the modification was included as consideration under the JDCA resulting in total consideration of $15.3 million for research and development activities. We determined that this arrangement also meets the criteria set forth in ASC 808. The JDCA contains three separate performance obligations: (i) research and development activities, (ii) assay services, and (iii) a 10-year exclusive license of our intellectual property. (i) Research and Development Activities We determined that NES is not a customer with respect to the research and development activities associated with the collaboration arrangement under ASC 808. We recognize revenue from these activities based on the progress made toward achieving the performance obligation utilizing input methods, including costs incurred, in collaboration revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. (ii) Assay Services We determined that NES is a customer for the assay services performance obligation, which should be accounted for using the criteria under ASC 606. We receive a fixed fee (standalone selling price) per sample in exchange for assaying samples, which is a service performed for other customers in the ordinary course of business. This performance obligation is recognized at a point in time when the assay data report is delivered to the customer and recorded in assay services revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. (iii) License of Intellectual Property We determined that NES is a customer for the license performance obligation, which should be accounted for using the criteria under ASC 606. We receive royalties based on NES’ net sales and determined the allocation of royalties solely to this performance obligation is consistent with the objectives in ASC 606. This performance obligation was satisfied at the beginning of the license term. Subject to the sales and usage-based royalty exception, revenue is recognized in the period in which the subsequent sale or usage has occurred. Royalties are recorded in other revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Other Revenue Other revenue includes royalty revenue and revenue received from research grants. We recognize royalty revenue for fees paid by customers in return for a license to make, use or sell certain licensed products in certain geographic areas. These fees are equivalent to a percentage of the customer’s related revenues. We recognize revenue for sales-based or usage-based royalties promised in exchange for a functional license of intellectual property when the later of the following events occurs: (i) the subsequent sale or usage occurs, or (ii) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been satisfied. As such, revenue is recognized in the period in which the subsequent sale or usage has occurred. In June 2008, SomaLogic and New England Biolabs, Inc. (“NEB”) entered into an exclusive licensing agreement, whereby we provide a license to use certain proprietary information and know-how relating to its aptamer technology to make and use commercial products. In exchange, we receive royalties from NEB for this functional license of intellectual property. In September 2022, SomaLogic and NEB entered into a license and settlement agreement (“NEB Agreement”) that terminated the existing exclusive licensing arrangement and provided for a settlement of $8.0 million of previously constrained royalties recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022. The NEB Agreement also provided a non-exclusive license arrangement for the same proprietary information and know-how under which we are guaranteed fixed minimum royalties of $15.0 million to be received over 3 years. We recognized revenue for the guaranteed fixed minimum royalties of $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, net of a significant financing component of $1.8 million. Any revenue above the guaranteed fixed minimum royalties is recognized in the period in which the subsequent sale or usage has occurred. We have recorded a receivable of $13.1 million as of June 30, 2023, of which $8.9 million is recorded in accounts receivable, net of current portion and $4.2 million is recorded in accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest income related to the significant financing component was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and is included in interest income and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Grant revenue represents funding under cost reimbursement programs or fixed rate arrangements from government agencies and non-profit foundations for qualified research and development activities performed by SomaLogic. We recognize grant revenue when it is reasonably assured that the grant funding will be received as evidenced through the existence of a grant arrangement, amounts eligible for reimbursement are determinable and have been incurred, the applicable conditions under the grant arrangements have been met, and collectability of amounts due is reasonably assured. The classification of costs incurred related to grants is based on the nature of the activities performed by SomaLogic. Grant revenue is recognized when the related costs are incurred and recorded in other revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Illumina Cambridge, Ltd. On December 31, 2021, we entered into a multi-year arrangement with Illumina Cambridge, Ltd. (“Illumina Agreement”) to jointly develop and commercialize co-branded kits that will combine Illumina’s Next Generation Sequencing (“NGS”) technology with SomaLogic’s SomaScan technology. Pursuant to the agreement, we received a non-refundable upfront payment of $30.0 million on January 4, 2022. This arrangement is accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. We concluded there are two performance obligations: (1) SOMAmer reagents necessary to develop and commercialize NGS based proteomic products, inclusive of the rights to licenses, patents and training to allow for the use of such reagents and (2) an option to purchase goods post-commercialization with a material right (“Material Right”). The total transaction price is subject to a constraint since it is uncertain that commercialization will be achieved; and therefore the transaction price was determined to be $30.0 million and was allocated to each of the performance obligations identified on a relative standalone selling price basis. Revenue from the performance obligations is recognized as follows in product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss: Reagents: Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer (i.e., when the SOMAmer reagents are shipped). We estimated the standalone selling price (“SSP”) based on observable pricing of similar performance obligations |
