Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s periodic reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Company has received a Civil Investigative Demand, or CID, issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, or the DOJ, pursuant to the False Claims Act related to its investigation of allegations of medically unnecessary laboratory testing, improper billing for laboratory testing, and remuneration received or provided in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law. Among other things, this CID requests information and records relating to certain of the Company’s customers named in this CID. Certain of the Company’s executive officers and employees have also received CIDs relating to these matters.

Similar to other laboratories in the industry, the Company responded to an audit inquiry by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, or HRSA, with respect to its reimbursement for COVID-19 tests furnished to patients believed to be uninsured. The Company recorded approximately $548.9 million of reimbursements from HRSA under the Uninsured Program during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. There is uncertainty with respect to the methodology HRSA will use in its audit and whether and how HRSA will extrapolate audit results. The Company has provided HRSA’s auditors with requested information in connection with its audit in an effort to resolve any issues related to its audit, including any reimbursed amounts that may need to be returned to HRSA. As of the date of this quarterly report, the Company has not received any final audit results from HRSA for this audit. The Company has not received any further requests for information in connection with this audit from HRSA. The Company has also received a CID issued by the DOJ pursuant to the False Claims Act related to the DOJ’s investigation as to whether the Company submitted or caused to be submitted false claims to the Uninsured Program.

As is typical for companies seeking reimbursement from government payors, from time to time the Company is named as a defendant in claims pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act and comparable state laws. Often, these proceedings remain under seal such that the Company does not have access to the specific information included in them. Seals often remain in place for extended periods of time while the U.S. government, or applicable regulatory authority, decides whether to intervene on behalf of the qui tam plaintiff. As a result, the Company may not be aware of all qui tam claims that have been filed against the Company. In or around February 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California unsealed a qui tam complaint (and certain related proceedings) filed against Fulgent Genetics, Inc. and Fulgent Therapeutics LLC by a qui tam plaintiff (known as a relator) on behalf of the United States. This complaint alleged that the Company filed false claims for reimbursement for COVID-19 tests in violation of the False Claims Act. The complaint was subsequently dismissed without prejudice as to the relator and the U.S. government following the U.S. government’s filing of a motion to dismiss, meaning the relator and the U.S. government retained the right to refile and may refile under seal.

The Company is fully cooperating with the DOJ in connection with the CIDs that it, or its employees, have received. The Company cannot currently predict when these CIDs and HRSA audit matters will be resolved, the reasonable or likely outcome of these matters, or their potential impact, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, and financial condition. Discussions and investigations remain ongoing. As such, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from any material government investigations, audits, claims, and reviews in which it is currently involved, given the inherent difficulty in predicting regulatory actions, fines and penalties, if any, and the various remedies and levels of judicial review available to the Company in the event of an adverse finding. As a result, the Company has not recorded any liability related to these CIDs or audit matters.

From time to time, the Company, like other laboratories in its industry, is subject to claims and allegations relating to professional liability. The Company accrued $14.5 million in connection with the settlement of a professional liability matter, which was included in accrued legal liabilities and general and administrative expense in the 2025 Annual Report. The Company maintains professional liability insurance that has provided partial coverage for this matter, subject to customary retentions, exclusions, and limits. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company paid this settlement in full, and the related accrual is no longer reflected in accrued legal liabilities as of June 30, 2026.
