Operator

And of with Genuity. [Operator Canaccord is Kyle Instructions] the question our Mikson line from first

Kyle Mikson

guess on Congrats on results. ASP. just I John, the maybe, the

$XXX quarter think just itself maybe or was quarter, I last above So so. fourth

to so, was XX% the of how bit just take it Medicare stabilizing list the price or price. or it I a of It's $XXX. $XXX. maybe Now to $XXX, kind $XXX at long get mean maybe could about like

that ASP? closing Are kind you about volume this target is I mean critical And of that? could take -- drive growth thinking how than how like rather maybe to step try are on here? And and a reinvest back to is that? you you

John Aballi

Kyle, for question. relevant. the Very thanks

I it's think good a one.

way we ambition ASPs our there look all. changed at and not the So has at

years that XX% level term. in has last the to of achieve been relatively couple the goal Our has over near been,

over For AVISE $XXX, $XXX somewhere CTD mark. that's just around that

XX-month we in variability quarter-to-quarter AVISE number, the the folks continue pointed we think We really we great trailing quarter anticipation to so see. had that a the of expected ASP we've up. to to push And and

our from perspective, view changed. so really And hasn't the

see you that negative nothing really or anything while So quarter-to-quarter of behind terms trends meaningful that in there's like transition, that.

still just It's inherently we'll it. exact We've difficult as when to guided hit forecast. remains goal really believe our point never the to to time an same. So we

we that appeals Some can be do. momentum in strong. really of But remain drive these things our payer things behavior, also can that changes but efforts

We're X starting feedback some now of get that we've in appeals. that of to completed levels X or

so And we as still maybe more we've last remain the so were over optimistic just given made progress the several we months. as even

Kyle Mikson

And rather driving volume question expansion, the commercial collections then or like in things was inherit we've that kind ASP that. of key investment just in like of commercial kind -- and implied growth than and

been higher. penetration last much is your So in level maybe and in SG&A year, past rheumatologist us reach the level country? refresh has quarters the -- expand pretty market force of the of increase couple the just the I plans to sales mean stable on the the kind quarterly

John Aballi

absolutely. Yes,

driving of exciting what organization. And a strategic the we is improvement. we're anticipated had reshaping the is heart at us standpoint, thing from doing for the ASP So

If been increase joining now that the all prior really X organization. not seen me you XXXX we've years to recall, And XX% the from done levels. a at for has

that successful regard. being in we're So

QX of effect clinicians, our time, the At ordering required call what process had kind on this the that reset our and we and kicked from with That's what same last seen a volume transient was the volume, that some plan along. all growth. perspective, been that sort us And And it's of of time year. that to the off we we've expected. our in now,

right well. of about kind what as expected is we Timing

due now, this to couldn't it up drawn it. be where volume really see growth we be And One to continues on as One is to I on X sit better ASP side. different levers. the So side. any we the have continues

team, You across we a asked territory XX United growing States. footprint me sales the have to specifically continue the about

now. volume We've I the year, organization the for now believe right-sized started. right then first We the with that it's footprint. rightsized the is And right when us organization still impact last for

expand report We sales continue to monitor each And areas or territory with split we'll new to an into profitability. that force territories time, for but we're covering there. over nothing inside those

product is the fronts. likely launch year of second X] half operating for general, of in into think X low. little terms SG&A in product going a the expense a in [XX I do enhancement in here the We're

increase. marketing So likely to expenses are our

may commissions different and do we As to period, also have that, break throughout incentivize in sales we'll out. that team we ways the see how

operating XX level as in enhancements. likely is in, XX coming move overall when of of the that expenses these is right reasonable, increase factor kind we probably best our different But especially validation R&D in to to you model way under through expense not are it probably

So gives hopefully that color. some you

Kyle Mikson

year was That then the just Yes. and the third ACR stuff the of interesting. given guess for quarter. in, interesting of And I It's Exagen conference dynamics is to in of the interesting I kind moving November. -- end some think, industry

a I into thinking bit be core growth, kind prior talk of And about third heading just year-end given thing, should kind quarter, recently? how like into about maybe about the excluding period collections feel you XXXX, how accelerate cadence So fourth momentum little then quarter of the into you as guess? business the we

John Aballi

Sure.

So asking more EBITDA are -- or you picture? adjusted are on also revenue entire you the the side,

Kyle Mikson

revenue? line top The

John Aballi

So clinicians, extended in seasonality impact. some with we the this historically of top We're some have seen our second vacations. half of certainly typically the seeing or year,

when see our news. it in busy Airports You the flying. I'm is when extremely flying, are team

that So we right of impact some do see now.

QX. expect that into continue We

has most out quarter As the in you the QX of referenced, any holidays year.

in us, societal rheumatology for before we month week a Thanksgiving. And the November, of have meeting the

then least onto of So holiday it a week, rheumatology good out at week. that for pulls piggybacks the practice and chunk a a of community clinical

we think light few see or enhancements, in and hard product even to QX. We're I a were change highly historically. which working that of is So either flattening decline to motivated team do trend, a coming so, slight the especially over do

year if perspective, the So remove But that to out-of-period how we'll you and have first shapes exactly look half $X see million at out. from the our prior revenue, account it to grow the of just relatively XXXX. the that provided impact we've that that into conveyed. takes basically, period seasonality continue guide to is due collections, And we sentiment I flat into in as

Kyle Mikson

Okay. That board was Jeff to Kamal good leave it great. definitely, working And I'll great see with now. and there. on it was

Operator

is question the Our Mark from BTIG. of next line with Massaro

Mark Massaro

one, first is in I obvious, it you beat million. the by Maybe QX like think but $X looks this

You raised the $X full by year million. guide

back But how changing your you comments year. expect volumes. -- the not half Obviously, excuse me, in strong you're quarter-over-quarter that trends the heard a quarter-over-quarter X% increase of confirming X% had Just seasonality. you I in about

to guidance you're outperformance was year back to I trajectory the assume in not back not expecting or guess embedding confirm change raise your prior any of changes of the trends for to the full just trying a the relative the that in the half? I the underlying year QX I'm half in to and the your in volume year. function

John Aballi

Sure. Thanks for question. the

the difficult business. dependencies there's of said on no, said, just certain payer time the increases inherently you over given are We've growth behavior. expectation projections As no and magnitude for that of ASP in the changes

lever That's our to growth. always that's forecast. a challenging of one So thing

X% From sequential a fantastic. quarter-over-quarter, the volume that's growth standpoint,

QX, QX volume has has a leveling. QX, build standpoint. historically, been we from QX of really we'll Just kind see. where a But been

the seem Again, have the not trends to that this team, the if analyst to is these them. the like been at said, here. and the sales within evaluate is I way or This you practice community message business, standpoint look historical handled is rheumatology from this an just sit clinical

So kind outlook, the half and to no like very leading the of both terms year. trajectory, in growth here, perform levers optimistic. how are we'll Like in our of see back the change we so of

Mark Massaro

Okay. Great.

reps. pretty of Can back be strategy or your pharma years, can't Exagen to maybe of the biopharma add. how driving know XX all many who's business us remind it's significant I the imagine mean IPO. You over see. the I XX a the to Nice going the to piece to demand? reps, so that mentioned used just your you I

there probably in biopharma term wins refresher huge years? over couple is And how then should we don't near that? So think expect use the specialized I a I se. could mean a per I about the next on team? of

But and just view strategy you're looking what test and of types this you sign? curious treat deals how to

John Aballi

in in great to model us CTD AVISE rheumatologists tissue the development a And for just was the practice. This business is serve where day-to-day value clear, to our their suspected QX. patients That's greatest clinical Absolutely. the community-based be in clinical disease. connective management of is underlying with

in regard. contracts are the And don't especially organization and revenue recently we biopharma this not in more vein. signed dilute our message our So we've the from that sales that

I team, and we seeing our established or the under And contract Dr. good was do small the to what high We're service offer message for a so to have convey. actively last we be some known there. Chief come feedback in see really have out testing. Medical We quality working to great team, is Officer, for small seems months Nerenberg, Mike It businesses our area. been a initial this new biopharma X they've wanted So the in a differentiated in.

markers in proprietary or enrollment these patients. clinical further have that is characterization We for trials,

so enhance that, the brand pharma with we're And to that perform, our quality within the community. starting combined the we testing of build

forecast. how this that companies so incredibly revenues some you the And follow business also see in of biopharma I'm you're and lumpy other aware difficult evolves. to sure we'll

the So these there stuff be to and because business of contracts way standpoint, we we'll that so up that layering our level higher-margin some performance. also, from but adjusted then that take of minimum a set some on, tends it it we've is

this the my a mentioning to reason for impact Hence, organization. So to expect do meaningful we it. be

this a separate to team. can business or But it become exactly be But unsure first start. big a a good just of is how large seems

Mark Massaro

with welcome, Kamal will cell Got But third years, also Got it. markers. the working I to T the want Jeff, the my here pleasure over and it. to put reiterate organization. I on question my

to So have who patients otherwise I tested would know identify SLE negative. able with you've talked about more being

So inherently, I you. opportunity for think that provides a significant

the I'm curious could people perhaps greater dollars, opportunity inflection. who not the a of mean you've gens, additional think launch. think just I pricing, characteristics as a there Perhaps always potential that incremental are think for demand But -- other as price if launched any how should what ease it gen? there's trying figure to in in had know to because next then I But several next the revenue relates companies of next-gen next to it's about about or the time some payers change of do you use see over are out path years, the Exagen incremental and from higher we a result to get

John Aballi

of that direction. both organization of of are our at the in standpoint, to rate that launch So move from run product a there is our that first least we're towards enhancements. year end And projections initial starting

thinking internally. So that's we're it how about

start takes being get But You goes. never bring clinically, of claims so some utility on additional to of they that use adjudicated this until the these really them. it understand handled. what Volume value kind you CTD educate how time certainty are how you folks see operationally, have markers these adding markers, is of new those into and to to that it how we're impact,
