Presentation
Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. My name is [Nouhad], and I will be your conference operator for today. I would like to welcome you to Tempus AI Company Update. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise.
Now, I’d like to turn the conference over to Elizabeth Krutoholow, VP in Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
Elizabeth Krutoholow
Thank you. Good morning. Thank you for joining us to discuss Tempus’s agreement to acquire Personalis, which we announced this morning. Joining me today are Eric Lefkofsky, CEO of Tempus; and Jim Rogers, the CFO. We issued a press release and posted an investor presentation this morning, both of which are available on our Investor Relations website.
As a reminder, during this call, management may make forward-looking statements. Slide 2 of our presentation and the press release issued this morning contain additional information on forward-looking statements and other important information on the proposed transaction. We welcome any questions specific to this transaction. Please be advised that we are currently in a quiet period, which limits our ability to offer further comments.
I’ll now turn the call over to Eric.
Eric Lefkofsky
Thanks, Liz. This morning, we announced that Tempus has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Personalis. With the terms of the agreement, Personalis’s shareholders will receive consideration of $16.25 per common share of common stock, representing $1.5 billion net of Tempus’s existing ownership interest. MRD represents a $20 billion-plus market, and this is one of the fastest-growing segments in oncology diagnostics. It is transformative for cancer care, allowing clinicians to detect disease recurrence earlier than traditional imaging, enabling more informed treatment decisions when cancer recurs.
Bloomberg
We’ve been the exclusive distributor of Personalis’ tumor-informed MRD assay NeXT Personal since 2023, which we believe is a best-in-class assay given its ultra-sensitivity. By combining Personalis’s tumor-informed assay with our tumor-naive offering, xM, we’re able to offer solutions that meet each oncologist’s MRD needs and provide a wide variety of solutions across tumor types. Bringing Personalis’s testing portfolio under one roof accelerates commercial adoption of NeXT Personal, while strengthening the multimodal data flywheel that differentiates our business with longitudinal patient data providing insights. Our partnership with Personalis has been very successful.
NeXT Personal is now reimbursed across multiple use cases in breast, non-small cell lung cancer, and IO monitoring. As we’ve discussed historically, we phased our rollout of the assay based upon reimbursement of various indications, and we’re on track with growth rates that have exceeded our expectations, having run about 6,500 tests in Q1 of this year, and roughly 9,000 tests in Q2, growing 38% quarter-over-quarter, and that’s just the test that we distribute for Personalis. They sell some of their own tests, which makes that number even higher. This growth is exceptional when you consider that only 10% of our sales force is currently selling MRD solutions today. So, when you think about that kind of 38% quarter-over-quarter growth rate, it puts it into context.
Going forward, we believe volumes could be even more material and higher as we equip additional sales reps with our offering, and that’s more indication to secure reimbursement. In addition to strengthening our MRD leadership, Personalis’s portfolio enhances our biopharma offering through profiling and IO capabilities. The potential addition of de-identified launch due to MRD data also creates really interesting opportunities to enrich our models and provide differentiated insights for our biopharma clients. Serial measurements reveal disease dynamics, treatment response, resistance, and recurrence, which are helpful for biomarker discovery, patient selection, and trial optimization.
With reimbursement in place and more coming, Personalis is exiting a period of heavy investment and losses. Given the improving financial profile, we felt now was the right time to pursue a strategic acquisition. Under the agreement, Tempus will acquire all outstanding shares of Personalis not already owned by Tempus AI at a price of $16.25 per share, representing a 6% premium to Friday’s closing price and a 28% premium to the unaffected 30-day VWAP. Consideration will be structured as 100% stock with Tempus having the option to elect payment in up to 50% in cash. Personalis’ shareholders will receive a floating exchange ratio of Tempus common stock for each share of Personalis’s common stock they own at closing, subject to a maximum exchange ratio of 0.3356. Cash consideration can be financed with cash Tempus has on hand and additional borrowing we procure between signing and closing.
Both parties expect the close of the transaction to be late 2026 or early 2027. We’ll provide additional detail on the transaction’s financial impact on our outlook during our Q2 earnings call on July 30th, which is in about a week from now. But as we’ve highlighted in previous calls, there’s a certain amount of discretionary investment that we are able to make each year, given that we have increasing gross profit dollars from the growth of our core business across therapy selection volumes increasing, ASP tailwinds, which
Bloomberg
we’ve discussed, and continued growth and strength in our data business. And we’ll utilize some of those investment dollars to drive our MRD offering growth, while continuing to demonstrate leverage in the business both from an adjusted EBITDA and cash-flow perspective. Even with this acquisition, we intend to be EBITDA and free cash f low positive in 2027.
Thank you for your time this morning and for your continued interest in Tempus and our evolving growth story. Thank you. And with that, Liz, I will turn it over to you.

Great. We can now open the line for questions.
Questions And Answers
Operator
(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from the line of [Phalom Fitzmyer] from Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Q - Unidentified Participant
Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the question. Obviously, still somewhat in the initial innings of the launch, but maybe just talk to some of the feedback you’ve been hearing on the ground on NeXT Personal that I assume supported this decision? It seems like pretty nice growth out of the gate. So, any sense of whether you’re seeing competitive shifts here or it’s more of kind of a market expansion from accounts that weren’t utilizing MRD tests beforehand? Thanks a lot.
A - Eric Lefkofsky
Yeah. I would say — I mean, the growth in terms of — obviously, percentages is pretty extraordinary. Anytime you have a business that’s growing almost 40% quarter-over-quarter, those would be exceptional year-over-year growth rates. These are quarter-over-quarter growth rates. So, I think it’s safe to say that we are quickly gaining market adoption and I think that is — that over the last several quarters has been both a function of the market — the overall MRD market is growing. It’s a very healthy market and one that’s growing pretty rapidly, I think, as evidenced not just by our growth rates, but by Natera and others.
But I also think that given the really fantastic performance of our Personalis assay in their suite of products, you’re going to — I would expect to see more market shift and this really kind of speaks to the — I think the Tempus — the real — when the Tempus real flywheel gets humming, it’s a function of a best-in-class diagnostic test, and certainly, next is that, combined with all the other technology attributes we have from a broad connectivity to hospitals all over the country to a whole suite of AI-enabled solutions that make ordering our products easier to a variety of AI insights we’re able to deliver through the models we build. And I would suspect all of those will be more tightly embedded into our MRD offering over time. And as they continue to get more and more indications covered, we will dramatically expand the amount of our sales force that can sell it.

Your next question comes from the line of Kyle Mikson from Canaccord Genuity. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Q - Kyle Mikson
Hey guys, thanks for the questions. Congrats on the deal here. Just first, maybe just talk about like why now as was discussed in the last question, it’s kind of early for this — for Personalis. I mean, I know they have a lot of reimbursement and so forth, but not a lot has been proven. So maybe why is now the best time? And also, just talk a little bit about the dilution kind of roadmap here, the burning $20 million plus a quarter. You have that target still in the positive cash f low in ‘27, but it’s a little — this doesn’t help you kind of get there. So, just maybe expand upon those factors? Thanks.
A - Eric Lefkofsky
Yeah. I think we looked at this — we looked at Personalis back in 2023 and decided to do a commercial deal in large part because we could see that there were several years of significant investment at the time that they were going to have to make. And in fact, I think you can see from their financials, they’ve made those investments in ‘23, ‘24, ‘25. So, now we’re almost at the end of ‘26. So, I think it was kind of the right decision for us to let them make those investments and get the assay to this point. The point that it’s at now is it is beginning to get and will continue to get, I would assume, a very broad coverage, and the economics of these assays begin to turn pretty dramatically once they are covered more broadly.
So you kind of, unlike other assays where you can get coverage quicker, here you have to basically demonstrate analytic validity and clinical validity and you have to publish, you have to get MolDx approval. And then all of a sudden, one day you just turn on reimbursement. So, you go from like zero revenue for some of these tests to significant revenue. And they are now entering that part of the cycle where their financials should improve dramatically. So that’s why it was the right time for us to decide to acquire them. And in terms of like, it being a proven, tested market, I think it is widely considered, if not the best, one of the best tests in the market today. And so, as the financial profile of these assays gets better, I think you’ll see pretty dramatic expansion and really strong operating results in terms of revenue.
A - Jim Rogers
Yeah. And then on the second part of your question, as Eric kind of noted in the — in his prepared remarks, we’re fortunate that the core business obviously has good tailwinds, both from like a therapy selection volume growth plus the ASP tailwinds that we’ve highlighted over the last several quarters getting the tumor-only for xT FDA approved and then having xF in front of the — so we’re generating a lot of incremental gross profit dollars. And as we’ve previously discussed, we’ve always intended on investing a certain percentage of those kind of back into the business. MRD was a big area of investment and that allows us to kind of absorb some of this burn given the strength in the core business.
A - Eric Lefkofsky
Yeah. Sure, I should jump in. I think Jim makes the kind of the most compelling point, so that’s what I highlighted, which is, we have — we’re fortunate that we have this high-growth business that just generates lots of gross profit and lots of gross profit dollars.
Bloomberg
And we look for what are the best places to invest in that. And as Jim mentioned, this in our opinion is the best place. So, we’re kind of thrilled that we’re able to kind of lean into growth and position the business for long-term success.
Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Dan Brennan from TD Cowen. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Q - Dan Brennan
Thank you. Thanks for the questions. Maybe just I’ll ask one, obviously, but a couple apart. Eric, I think you mentioned at the onset, 10% of the sales force is directed towards, I guess MRD today or maybe specifically Personalis. So, is the implication that, that number goes up and the growth rate accelerates from what we’ve seen? B, I know you mentioned the ability to integrate their data more. So, I’m just wondering if you could share what the relationship was prior to owning the business outright in terms of the ability to use the data within your — within your pharma offering and how that might change now?
And then see like, does this impact your own plans on your own MRD assays? And then the final one would just be on the Personalis pharma business. They had an important pharma business. They’ve got deals with, I think Merck-Moderna, there’s some outcomes data coming out later this year, early next year. Does this deal impact in any way the relationship with those companies and that offering? Thank you.
A - Eric Lefkofsky
Yeah. So, I learned a long time ago, like, I’m not smart enough to remember four questions in a row. So, I’ll get to cover some part of that, the pieces I can recall. So, yes, we have limited — with a rough — somewhere around 10% of our sales force selling the MRD product today. We will continue to ungate that and invest in additional salespeople in the field. It’s more a function of the balancing act between when they get additional categories reimbursed and so on and so forth. And so, I think they’ve got a really strong R&D portfolio, which they’ve disclosed in their own investor meetings, so you can get some sense as to when various things are coming to market.
And as it — and it’s going to line up here likely in ‘27, somewhere in — it’s hard to know when, early, late, whatever, but at some point, you’ll get to this tipping point, where the revenue generated from these assays is high enough that you can kind of more completely unlock and fully unshackle. The sales force and so we’ll just keep people informed as to how that’s — how that’s going. But we expect really strong growth rates. We said this — we said this in our Investor Day a month ago or so, we expect really strong MRD growth rates to continue. And when you have a business growing 40% quarter-over-quarter, like that gets very big very quickly, and we expect that to continue.
As it relates to data, yes, the deal was originally structured where we had broad clinical distribution rights, but they had their own biopharma business, they had their own data rights. And so post-closing, we will more tightly couple these things together, and I suspect it’ll be catalytic to both their pharma business and our pharma business. So, I think there’ll be some really nice data benefits as we don’t really fully bring in these MRD time points in a way that the — that they do.
Bloomberg
And then finally, I hope I missed anything, as it relates to our own tumor-naive product, we have told folks over the last several quarters that we’re seeing the market had shifted really pretty dramatically to tumor-informed in terms of volume and that the tumor-informed part of our business represented, I don’t even know, 95-plus, high-90s of our — of our — of the orders we were receiving. And I suspect that will continue for some period. We still believe tumor-naive has an important place. We’ll continue to invest in tumor-naive; we’ll continue to bring it to other indications. We’re working on a more sensitive version of our assay now, and that’s moving along well. But the market is just really leaning into these ultra-sensitive tumor-informed assays that have incredibly low limits of detection. And we’re kind of excited to ride that way for the next several years. But longer term, I would suspect both will do quite well.
A - Jim Rogers
And then, Dan, I think on your final question around kind of their biopharma business. Obviously, we also have a large data business with biopharma. We also do some sequencing for biopharma as well. And so again, we can integrate that business with kind of the current offering and think it can be helpful in expanding the overall relationship with biopharma.

Your next question comes from the line of Brad Bowers from Mizuho. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Q - Bradley Bowers
Hi, thanks for the questions here. Maybe just a two-parter on the revenue side. Just wanted to hear about kind of the pathway to reimbursement. Obviously, the opportunity to have significant reimbursement here with the single-tier test at 3,500. So, want to hear about the timeline for that process? And then on the other side, what does market share kind of look like in the deepest Personalis accounts? What does MRD penetration look like since you’re kind of the first, I guess, alongside Personalis, the first pair to kind of come out in this market here? So, want to hear about the deepest accounts that you’re in and what that might imply for future market share? Thank you.
A - Eric Lefkofsky
I’ll cover the market share, Jim, can take reimbursement. I don’t think we’re prepared to kind of go too deep in reimbursement largely because it’s got a roadmap, but Jim can cover it in a second. On the penetration side, we have been — kind of been very judicious with who we let carry the MRD product within our world. We have hundreds of sales reps in the field across hereditary profiling and comprehensive genomic profiling or therapy selection. And so, we’ve been very restrictive in terms of which of our accounts can order MRD, and how, and so on and so forth. So, I would say most things are underpenetrated or not fully penetrated.
And it really does come down to the balancing act of the reimbursement across enough indications that you’re able to generate an ASP high enough that you’re not losing money on every test. They — and what’s happened to them is, they’re just beginning that. That pendulum is starting to turn and you’ll see ASPs with — of this particular test will rise —should rise pretty precipitously over the next year, and you’ll kind of go from losing money to breaking even to then making money. And at that — it’s in that journey that we’ll start to penetrate these accounts more fully, but they’re kind of highly underpenetrated.
Bloomberg
A - Jim Rogers
Yeah. And then just quickly on reimbursement, NeXT Personal’s reimbursed across kind of multiple use cases in breast, non-small cell lung cancer, and IO monitoring. They’ve kind of laid out their roadmap for kind of additional indications and have a pretty robust kind of plan to bring additional indications to MolDx for approval. And so, we think that they’re set up, obviously, with what they have in place today, that’s allowed us to kind of start ramping as they continue to get more indications as Eric indicated, that allows us to kind of ungate additional volume and have more reps kind of selling. So, they’re making really good progress over the last 12 or 18 months from a reimbursement standpoint, and we anticipate that continuing as they submit for additional indications.

Your next question comes from the line of Subbu Nambi from Guggenheim Securities. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Q - Ricki Levitus
Good morning. This is Ricki on for Subbu. Thanks for taking the question. Most of the focus has been on MRDs, maybe something that hasn’t been asked about NeXT Dx. Is there anything we should be thinking about in terms of the NeXT Dx clinical therapy selection test? Where does this fit in the portfolio? And is it additive or competitive with xT, xR? Thanks.
A - Eric Lefkofsky
I think — I’ll just quickly say, I think the portfolio at this point is kind of holistically complementary, and now — and now I think, getting kind of very complete or post the closing of Personalis will be very complete. You have this kind of range of assays from best-in-class, am I at risk of getting cancer to best-in-class? I have cancer, how should I be treated? Whether that’s from a tissue biopsy or liquid biopsy to I’m post-treatment, and I need to be monitored and across a variety of sub-types indications, what’s the best test to order for that monitoring and for that early detection of recurrence? And so, we just have a really incredible portfolio.
Obviously, in our world, I think that portfolio is — with this acquisition is really as good as it gets. The only place that we still have work to do is obviously on the MRD tumor-naive side, where we’re just earlier in that game. And so, we’ll continue to try to make investments there, figure out how to get those assays over time up to the same quality as what Personalis has been able to develop on the tumor-informed side. But it feels to us like we have a really strong portfolio across diagnostics, and we’re in an interesting position in a world where these kind of tests will be ordered far more often, I think, across all the different categories we’re in. Both in cancer and then increasingly in non-cancer.
And so, I would be kind of very surprised if a decade from now, we’re not sequencing just multiples of the number of patients we sequence today clinically. And so, you just in a world where we’re going to generate an incredible amount of molecular data, it’s going to become increasingly important for health and wellness and helping people fight disease. And the data is going to become increasingly critical for biopharma to make decisions. You want — you want the best portfolio, you want scale, and you want to be in the best position to kind of win in that world, and we think this helps us, and we are. So, couldn’t be more excited.

And in terms of time, your last question comes from the line of Mark Massaro from BTIG. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Q - Mark Massaro
Hey guys, congrats on the deal. If I remember, I think Personalis had talked about scaling to gross margins of about 50% to 60% over time. Can you just share with us, whether or not you agree with that margin target or if you think there could be upside to that? Also, would you mind just confirming that some of the reimbursement dollars from Medicare have trickled in? And then just to confirm last question that, ImmunoID NeXT will remain part of the portfolio? Thanks.
A - Eric Lefkofsky
So, I’m hesitant to kind of go too deep into some of the intricacies of Personalis’s business before they provide some of that color. They are collecting dollars on the clinical side and that is — those funds are flowing. So, there’s certainly no issues there. In terms of long-term margin target, we’ll provide more color on our call in a week, but obviously, we wouldn’t have made the decision to acquire them if we didn’t believe the margin profile was going to be super healthy. I think we are financially disciplined in that regard.
We are — we try to be conscientious when we’re buying assets that we’re paying the right price and we — as we’ve said historically, we believe a business like ours that is 10-plus years old should be generating EBITDA and cash f low, and one day significant operating income and we’re on that journey. And so, we don’t intend to go backwards. And so, for us, the timing as we talked about a few minutes ago was really important. And the reason we didn’t do this a year or two ago is we wanted to be at the point in the curve where this was going to quickly turn into a really healthy business from a gross profit perspective and a margin perspective, and they’re getting close to that.
