Report of the statutory auditor
to the General Meeting of SOPHiA GENETICS SA
Saint-Sulpice
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of SOPHiA GENETICS SA (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, and the statement of loss for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements comply with Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the 'Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements' section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our audit approach
| | | | | |
Overview | Overall materiality: CHF 3,550 thousand |
| We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Company, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Company operates. |
As key audit matter the following area of focus has been identified: Revenue from SOPHiA DDM platform |
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Our audit opinion aims to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.

| | | | | |
Overall materiality | CHF 3,550 thousand |
Benchmark applied | Loss before tax |
Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied | We chose loss before tax as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured, and it is a generally accepted benchmark. |
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements above CHF 355 thousand identified during our audit as well as any misstatements below that amount which, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
Audit scope
We designed our audit by determining materiality and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where subjective judgements were made; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue from SOPHiA DDM platform
| | | | | | | | |
Key audit matter | | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
The entity has decided to apply the same accounting policy as the one used for the consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the entity’s revenue from the SOPHiA DDM platform was CHF 30,387 thousand. As discussed in note A.2 to the financial statements, the entity has determined that the stand-alone selling price for the analyses, in both a dry lab arrangement and bundle arrangement, is not discernible from past transactions. As a result, the residual approach is used to determine the stand-alone selling price of the analyses for both arrangements. Two different margins have been determined by the entity, one for enrichment kits which are produced and one for enrichment kits which are purchased. In our view, this is a key audit matter, as the determination of the stand-alone selling price is based to a large extent on estimates made by the entity. | | We obtained and read the accounting memo and discussed with management the determination of the accounting treatment of the residual approach. We critically challenged the estimates used in the determination of the enrichment kit margin for both produced and purchased enrichment kits by comparing the peer group information included in management’s memo to publicly available information. We assessed the appropriateness of the entity’s conclusions in the application of the accounting policy in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations. We tested the application of the estimates throughout our revenue testing and as part of the enrichment kit cost testing. We noted no deviations from the two estimates management outlined in their accounting memo. In addition, we performed a sensitivity analysis over the entity’s estimate of the margin applied to the enrichment kits to understand the impact on the timing of the revenue recognized. Based on our procedures we consider management’s approach regarding the determination of the accounting treatment, the approach used to allocate the transaction price to the analyses and estimates used for the determination of the enrichment kit margin to be reasonable. |
Other information
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements, the consolidated financial statements, the compensation report and our auditor’s reports thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Board of Directors' responsibilities for the financial statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
•Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Board of Directors or its relevant committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors or its relevant committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and PS-CH 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists which has been designed for the preparation of the financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.
We further confirm that the proposed carry forward of the accumulated losses complies with Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.

Notes to the statutory financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022
A.Accounting principles applied in the preparation of the financial statements
A.1 General information
SOPHiA GENETICS SA (NASDAQ: SOPH) (“the Company”) is a cloud-native software company in the healthcare space, incorporated on March 18, 2011, and headquartered in Saint-Sulpice, Switzerland. The Company is dedicated to establishing the practice of data-driven medicine as the standard of care in health care and for life sciences research. The Company has built a cloud-native software platform capable of analyzing data and generating insights from complex multimodal datasets and different diagnostic modalities. This platform, commercialized as “SOPHiA DDMTM,” standardizes, computes and analyzes digital health data and is used in decentralized locations to break down data silos.
Going concern basis
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits amounted to CHF 80 million and CHF 122 million, respectively.
The Board of Directors believes that the Company has sufficient financial resources to meet all of its obligations for at least the next twelve months. Moreover, the Company is not exposed to liquidity risk through requests for early repayment of loans.
Share split
On June 30, 2021, the Company effected a one-to-twenty share split of its outstanding shares. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this share split.
Initial Public Offering
In July 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in the United States on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading ticker symbol “SOPH”. Trading on the Nasdaq commenced at market open on July 23, 2021. The Company completed the IPO of 13,000,000 ordinary shares, at an IPO price of $18.00 per share, par value $0.05 (CHF 0.05). The aggregate net proceeds received from the IPO, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, was CHF 192.6 million. Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, all then outstanding shares of preferred shares were converted into 24,561,200 shares of ordinary shares on a one-to-one basis.
Concurrent with the IPO, the Company closed a private placement, in which it sold 1,111,111 ordinary shares to an affiliate of GE Healthcare at a price of $18.00 per share, par value $0.05 (CHF 0.05). The aggregate net proceeds received from the private placement, net of offering expenses, was CHF 17.8 million.
On August 25, 2021, the underwriters of the IPO elected to exercise in part their option to purchase an additional 519,493 ordinary shares (“greenshoe”) at the IPO price of $18.00 per share, par value $0.05 (CHF 0.05). The aggregate net proceeds received from the greenshoe, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, was CHF 7.7 million.
A.2 Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
Compliance with the Swiss Code of Obligations
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations (Art. 957 to 963b CO, effective since January 1, 2013). Where necessary, comparatives have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout these financial statements may not add up precisely to the totals provided.
Accounting policies
Inventory
Raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost calculated using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method and net realizable value. Work in progress is stated at the lower of its weighted average cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity.
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments are stated at cost less provision for permanent impairment in value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment include leasehold improvements, computer hardware, machinery and furniture and fixtures.
Property and equipment are shown on the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of an asset, less any residual value, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. For this purpose, assets with similar useful lives have been grouped as follows:
•Leasehold improvements—Shorter of the useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease
•Computer hardware—Three to five years
•Machinery and equipment—Five years
•Furniture and fixtures—Five years
Useful lives, components, and residual amounts are reviewed annually. Such a review takes into consideration the nature of the assets, their intended use, including but not limited to the closure of facilities, and the evolution of the technology and competitive pressures that may lead to technical obsolescence. Depreciation of property and equipment is allocated to the appropriate headings of expenses by function in the statement of loss.
Reviews of the carrying amount of the Company’s property and equipment are performed when there is an indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, based on the time value of money and the risks specific to the country where the assets are located.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets, which comprise costs linked with patents, development cost for internally developed software and implementation costs for purchased software, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets (five years for capitalized development - internal software costs). Research costs are expensed as incurred.
Development costs are composed of capitalized salaries and subcontractor’s expenses that are directly linked to the development of the platform and/or the algorithms and/or some submitted or envisaged patents.
Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
•The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
•Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
•How the asset will generate future economic benefits
•The availability of resources to complete the asset
•The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
Leases
The Company assesses at inception of the contract whether a contract is or contains a lease. This assessment involves determining whether the Company obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of that asset, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. When these conditions are met, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date, except for short-term
leases of 12 months or less, which are expensed in the statement of income/loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Revenue from sales of goods and services
Revenue represents amounts received and receivable from third parties for goods supplied and services rendered to customers. Revenues are reported net of rebates and discounts and net of sales and value added taxes in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for goods or services. The majority of the sales revenue is recognized: (i) when customers generate analyses on their patient data through the SOPHiA DDM platform, (ii) when consumables, namely DNA enrichment kits, are delivered to customers at which point control transfers and (iii) when services, namely set-up programs, are performed.
Products and services are sold both directly to customers and through distributors, generally under agreements with payment terms of up to 180 days. Therefore, contracts do not contain a significant financing component.
For multi-element arrangements the following steps are performed to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized and when it should be recognized: (1) identify the contract or contracts; (2) determine whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (3) measure the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.
SOPHiA DDM Platform
The majority of the SOPHiA DDM platform revenue is derived from each use of the SOPHiA DDM platform by customers to generate analysis on their patient data. Analysis revenue is recognized as analysis results are made available to the customer on the SOPHiA DDM platform. Contract assets are recognized on the balance sheet as accrued contract revenue for any analyses performed by customers that have not been invoiced at the reporting period date. Any payments received in advance of customers generating analyses are recorded as deferred contract revenue until the analyses are performed.
Customers use the SOPHiA DDM platform to perform analyses under three different models: dry lab access; bundle access; and integrated solutions.
For dry lab contracts, customers use the testing instruments and consumables of their choice and the SOPHiA DDM platform and algorithms for variant detection and identification. In these arrangements, the Company has identified one performance obligation, which is the delivery of the analysis result to the customer.
For bundle arrangements, customers purchase a DNA enrichment kit along with each analysis. Customers use the DNA enrichment kit in the process of performing their own sequencing of each sample. Customers then upload their patient data to the SOPHiA DDM platform for analysis. In these arrangements, the Company has identified two performance obligations: the delivery of the DNA enrichment kits and the performance of the analyses. Revenue is recognized for the DNA enrichment kits when control of products has transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of delivery, as this is when title and risk of loss have been transferred. Revenue for the performance of the analyses is recognized on delivery of the analysis results to the customer. Refer to Arrangements with multiple performance obligations below for how revenue is allocated between the performance obligations.
Deferred contract revenue balances relating to analyses not performed within 12 months from the delivery date are recognized as revenue. This policy is not based on contractual conditions but on the Company’s experience of customer behavior and expiration of the kits associated with the analyses.
For integrated arrangements, customers have their samples processed and sequenced through selected SOPHiA DDM platform partners within the clinical network and access their data through the SOPHiA DDM platform. The Company has identified one performance obligation, which is delivery of the analysis results to the customer through the SOPHiA DDM platform.
The Company also sells access to Alamut software products through the SOPHiA DDM platform. Some arrangements with customers allow customers to use Alamut as a hosted software service over the contract period without the customer taking possession of the software. Other customers take possession of the software, but the utility of that software is limited by access to The Company’s proprietary SOPHiA database, which is provided to the customer on a fixed term basis. Under both models, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the agreement.
The Company also derives revenue from the SOPHiA DDM platform by providing services to biopharma customers who engage the Company to (i) develop and perform customized genomic analyses and/or (ii) access the database for use in clinical trials and other research projects.
The Company does enter into biopharma contracts that contain multiple products or services or non-standard terms and conditions. The biopharma contracts are generally unique in nature and each contract is assessed upon execution.
Generally, the primary performance obligation in these arrangements is the delivery of analysis results in the form of a final report, resulting in revenue being recognized, in most cases, upon the issuance of the final report or successful recruitment of clinical trial participants.
Workflow materials and services
Revenue from workflow materials and services includes all revenue from the sale of materials and services that do not form part of a contract for the provision of platform services. These include the provision of set-up programs and training and the sale of kits and tests that are not linked to use of the platform. Set-up programs and training are typically combined with a customer’s first order prior to the customer beginning to use the SOPHiA DDM platform.
Revenue from services is generally recognized when the services are performed. Revenue from materials is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally at the time of delivery. This category of revenue also includes the revenue from the sale of DNA sequencing automation equipment accounted for under IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”), leasing and the fees charged for the maintenance of this equipment.
Arrangements with multiple performance obligations
The Company sells different combinations of analyses, consumables, and services to its customers under its various SOPHiA DDM platform models.
The Company has determined that the stand-alone selling prices for services and DNA enrichment kits are directly observable. For set-up programs and training sold along with dry lab arrangements or bundle arrangements, the stand-alone selling price of these services is determined on a time and materials basis. For DNA enrichment kits sold as part of a bundle, the SSP is based on an expected cost-plus-margin approach of the kit portion of the bundle.
The Company has determined that the SSP for the analyses, in both a dry lab arrangement and bundle arrangement, is highly variable and therefore a representative SSP is not discernible from past transactions. As a result, the residual approach is used to determine the stand-alone selling price of the analyses in dry lab arrangements that include services and in bundle arrangements that include DNA enrichment kits and, in some cases, services.
The Company also has a small number of bundle contracts with a fixed term, generally four years, that also include providing the customer with DNA sequencing automation equipment, which the Company has determined is an leasing component. In these arrangements the Company provides DNA sequencing automation equipment to the customer over the fixed term and at completion of the contract term the customer takes possession of the equipment. The Company has determined that it is a dealer lessor and provision of this equipment to the customer is classified as a finance lease. As a result, upon delivery of the leased equipment at the inception of the arrangement, a selling profit is recognized based on the fair value of the underlying equipment less the cost of the equipment. Over the term of the agreement, the minimum lease payment is deducted from the proceeds of the bundle sales in order to reduce the net investment in the corresponding lease receivable over the contract term and interest income is recognized as the discount on the lease receivable unwinds. The remaining proceeds from the contract are accounted for using the policies described above.

On July 27, 2021, the Company completed its IPO in the United States on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading ticker symbol “SOPH”. Trading on the Nasdaq commenced at market open on July 23, 2021. The Company completed the IPO of 13,000,000 common shares, at the IPO price of $18.00 per share, par value $0.05 (CHF 0.05).
Concurrent with the IPO, the Company closed a private placement, in which it sold 1,111,111 ordinary shares to an affiliate of GE Healthcare. Gross proceeds from the private placement, before deducting estimated expenses payable, were CHF 18.4 million. The Company incurred CHF 0.4 million of issuance costs, resulting in net proceeds of CHF 18.0 million.
On August 25, 2021, the underwriters of the IPO elected to exercise in part their option to purchase an additional 519,493 ordinary shares (“greenshoe”) at the IPO price of $18.00 per share. The greenshoe resulted in additional gross proceeds of CHF 9.5 million. The Company incurred an additional CHF 0.8 million of additional issuance costs, resulting in net proceeds of CHF 7.7 million. With the addition of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, the total number of shares sold in the Company’s IPO increased to 13,519,493 shares for aggregate gross proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated fees and offering expenses, of CHF 223.6 million.
Immediately prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO and current with the private placement, the Company’s outstanding preferred shares converted on a one-to-one basis into ordinary shares.
Treasury shares
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company issued 2,540,560 common share options to SOPHiA GENETICS LTD pursuant to a share delivery and repurchase agreement, which were immediately exercised, and repurchased the shares to hold as treasury shares for the purposes of administering the Company's equity incentive programs.

7.Leases
On March 3, 2021, the Company entered into a 120-month lease for office space in Rolle, Switzerland primarily to support the expansion of the research and development department. The lease in total is for approximately 38,750 square feet with the Company gaining access to areas on prescribed dates. The Company gained access to 11,840 square feet on July 1, 2021. The Company will gain access to 7,535 square feet on January 1, 2022 and the remaining 19,375 square feet on February 1, 2023. The expected lease commitments resulting from this contract are less than CHF 0.1 million in 2021, CHF 0.4 million in 2022, CHF 0.9 million in 2023, and CHF 1.0 million from 2024 onward. The expected lease commitments are linked to changes in the Swiss Consumer Price Index as published by Swiss Federal Statistical Office.
On January 25, 2022 the Company entered into an amendment to the lease for office space in Rolle, Switzerland. The amendment provides the company with an additional floor of approximately 21,258 square fee with lease commencement initiating on April 1, 2022. Upon commencement of the lease, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of CHF 4.1 million and a lease liability of CHF 4.1 million.
The Company makes fixed payments and additional variable payments depending on the usage of the asset during the contract period. As at December 31, 2021, the Company stated a ROU asset of CHF 8.6 million and a lease liability of CHF 9.8 million. The difference between the ROU and lease liability of CHF 1.2 million is driven by lease incentives and expected restoration costs.
