Nothing contained in this presentation is, or should be construed as, a recommendation, promise or representation by the presenter or Biodesix or any officer, director, employee, agent or advisor of Biodesix. This presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all of the information you may desire. Information provided in this presentation and the accompanying oral presentation speak only as of the date hereof. Certain information contained in this presentation relates to, or is based on, studies, publications, surveys and other data obtained from third-party sources and Biodesix's own internal estimates and research. While we believe these third-party sources to be reliable as of the date of this presentation, we have not independently verified, and make no representation as to the adequacy, fairness, accuracy or completeness of, any information obtained from third-party sources. In addition, all of the market data included in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions. Finally, while we believe our own internal research is reliable, such research has not been verified by any independent source. This presentation contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our future financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, as well as statements regarding industry trends, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,” “should,” “will” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, factors, and assumptions. Forward-looking statements may include information concerning, among other things, the impact of backlog and the timing and assumptions regarding collection of revenues on projections, availability of funds and future capital including under the term loan facility, the impact of a pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States or worldwide, including the COVID-19 pandemic, our inability to achieve or sustain profitability, our unaudited financial statements including a statement that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and a continuation of negative financial trends potentially resulting in our inability to continue as a going concern, our ability to attain significant market acceptance among payers, providers, clinics, patients, and biopharmaceutical companies for our diagnostic tests, difficulties we may experience in managing our growth, our failure to retain sales and marketing personnel, and failure to increase our sales and marketing capabilities or develop broad awareness of our diagnostic tests to generate revenue growth, our failure to maintain our current relationships, or enter into new relationships, with biopharmaceutical companies, significant fluctuation in our operating results, causing our operating results to fall below expectations or any guidance we provide, our product performance and reliability to maintain and grow our business, our vulnerability to supply problems and price fluctuations through third-party suppliers, including courier services, natural or man-made disasters and other similar events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, our failure to offer high-quality support for our diagnostic tests, which may adversely affect our relationships with providers and negatively impact our reputation among patients and providers, and our inability to continue to innovate and improve our diagnostic tests and services we offer. These risks and uncertainties are described in more detail under the caption “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, new risks may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this presentation or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. This presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. © 2024 Biodesix, Inc.
