Overview We are a technology-based company with a well-established laboratory services business and a therapeutic development business. Our laboratory services business includes technical laboratory and testing services and professional interpretation of laboratory results by licensed physicians. Our therapeutic development business is focused on developing product candidates for treating a broad range of cancers using a novel nanoencapsulation and targeted therapy platform designed to improve the therapeutic window and pharmacokinetic profile, or PK profile, of new and existing cancer drugs. Mission and Vision Founded in 2011, Fulgent began with two simple ideas: flexibility and affordability. We offer and develop flexible and affordable diagnostic and genetic tests and laboratory services designed to improve patient care and quality of life. We strive to provide the most effective and wide-ranging genetic and diagnostic testing menu on the market. Our long-term vision is to transform from a diagnostic business into a fully integrated precision medicine company. Our Laboratory Services Business We have broad testing capabilities with a testing services menu that is scalable and affordable for our customers. Our testing services include: Comprehensive anatomic pathology testing services, including gastrointestinal pathology, dermatopathology, urologic pathology, breast pathology, neuropathology, and hematopathology. These services are supported by our expansive geographic presence with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988, or CLIA, licensed laboratories in the United States. We have also made significant investment in digital pathology using artificial intelligence, or AI, technology, which allows us to digitize specimen slides instead of the traditional method of microscopy. Precision diagnostics testing services, including next-generation sequencing, or NGS, tests for biopharma research and clinical tests for rare disease, hereditary cancer, reproductive health, and many other disease subtypes. Our precision diagnostic testing also includes specialized oncology services that utilize a wide array of technologies. These services include flow cytometry; cytogenetic analysis; fluorescence in-situ, or FISH; immunohistochemistry; molecular genetics; NGS; and consultations in hematopathology and surgical pathology. We also offer testing services and licensing to pharmaceutical or biotech companies, contract research organizations, or CROs, or sponsored testing programs, which we call BioPharma services.

Picture tests help individuals identify important health markers to empower their personal health journey. 1 Our Laboratory Services Technology Platform Our proprietary technology platform for our laboratory services business includes proprietary gene probes, data suppression and comparison algorithms, AI learning software, and proprietary laboratory information management systems. Additionally, we have developed our own image management system, which was created to address the growing demand for custom features necessitated by our high daily case throughput, to support all lines of business and to enable the deployment and integration of AI tools to assist pathologists in their diagnoses. These platforms provide a broad test menu, the ability to rapidly develop and launch new tests, customizable test offerings, lower cost per test, and high efficiency. Our Therapeutic Development Business - Fulgent Pharma In 2022, we completed our acquisition of Fulgent Pharma Holdings, Inc., or Fulgent Pharma. Our efforts at Fulgent Pharma are based on a novel nano-drug delivery platform technology capable of delivering various water insoluble or poorly soluble drugs. Nano-drug delivery, or nanoencapsulation, refers to a technology where active pharmaceuticals are encapsulated within miniature capsules to protect and control the release of these pharmaceuticals in a targeted manner. Unlike other nano drug delivery materials such as Human Serum Albumin, which is only soluble in water, our nano-drug delivery materials used for our product candidates in development are soluble not only in water, but also in various organic solvents, as well as capable of hot melt mixing with active pharmaceutical ingredients, or APIs.…
