EXAS | Cologuard, Screening Colonoscopy, Wellness Visits, Weak Post-COVID Recoveries

OVERVIEW

The post-COVID recovery across medical visits has been uneven.  Relative to 2Q20 expectations, the trend in screening colonoscopies has the greatest impact in the long- term expectation for EXAS.  Volume has recovered from the lows of April with screening colonoscopy (diagnosis code Z1211) falling over 95% with the embargo of elective procedures.  As restrictions were lifted, screening colonoscopy has recovered to ~60% of pre-COVID levels.  Cologuard fell to ~40% of pre-COVID and has since recovered to 68%.  The average percentage of pre-COVID for 2Q20 is 54% and is in the area code of the change in 2Q20 consensus revenue.  Consensus revenue sits at 62%, 73%, and 90% of pre-COVID for 2Q20, 3Q20, and 4Q20, respectively.  As COVID-19 trends accelerate nationally, we expect our quarter estimate trends to reset lower, and EXAS to move from a Micro Quad 1 back to a Micro Quad 4.
