Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company records certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows: •Level I: Inputs which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; •Level II: Inputs other than Level I that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and •Level III: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments of the Company, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets includes money market funds and deposits for leases of the Company's facilities. Money market funds, included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, were $42.3 million and $131.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are Level I assets as described above. The deposits for the leases, included in restricted cash, were $0.7 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and are a Level I assets as described above. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. On December 3, 2019, the Company acquired from NanoString the exclusive global diagnostics license to the nCounter Analysis System, the Prosigna breast cancer prognostic gene signature assay, and the LymphMark lymphoma subtyping assay. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Veracyte paid NanoString $40.0 million in cash and $10.0 million in Veracyte common stock, and may pay up to an additional $10.0 million in cash, contingent upon first achievement or occurrence, by or on behalf of Veracyte, of the commercial launch of the first, second and third diagnostic tests for use on the nCounter multiplex analysis system. This contingency was valued at $6.1 million as of the acquisition date and is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingent consideration is settled. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, this contingency was remeasured to $8.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively, with the corresponding changes included in general and administrative expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, a reversal of expense of $0.5 million was recorded in general and administrative expense for the changes in carrying value and, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, no expense was recorded. As of March 31, 2023, the achievement of one of the milestones is forecasted to occur within the next 12 months. As a result, $3.3 million of the contingent consideration is included in short term liabilities at March 31, 2023. The fair value of the contingent consideration includes inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level III financial liability. The estimation of the fair value of the contingent consideration is based on the present value of the expected payments calculated by assessing the likelihood of when the related milestones would be achieved and estimating the Company's borrowing rate. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of the contingent consideration that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes to the forecasts for the achievement of the milestones and the borrowing rate can significantly affect the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company calculated the estimated fair value of the milestones using the following significant unobservable inputs:
|  | Value or Range (Weighted-Average)
Unobservable input |  | March 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Discount rate |  | 7.6% |  | 8.3%
Probability of achievement |  | 80% - 100% (92%) |  | 80% - 100% (94%)
Short-Term Investments Held-to-Maturity The Company's short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury securities with maturities at the time of purchase that were between 90 days and one year. The Company classifies these investments as held-to-maturity debt securities, which are reported at amortized cost, and are Level I assets as described above. As of March 31, 2023, the Company held no short-term investments and, as of December 31, 2022, short-term investments comprised U.S. treasury bills recorded at amortized cost of $24.6 million with a fair value of approximately $24.6 million. As of December 31, 2022, gross unrealized losses on short-term investments were insignificant. As part of its banking partner diversification efforts, the Company sold $40.0 million U.S. treasury bills with an amortized cost of $39.8 million for $39.8 million and realized a gross gain of $13 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2023. No realized gains or losses on short-term investments were recognized in 2022.
