“On 2/12/18, NVTA introduced its noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) test for detection of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Important takeaways from the product launch include:1) in line with our timeline; 2) list price of $2,500 with a $250 patient pay option; and 3) offering improvement in workflow compared to most other NIPS offering by integrating carrier screening into sample collection workflow. We expect NIPS to begin making a meaningful contribution to test volumes in 2Q19 and revenue in 2H19. We expect management to disclose additional details of the launch in the 4Q18 financial results conference call Feb. 19 (4Q18 preview on page 3). Reiterate Outperform, $21 PT.”
