More people are diagnosed with skin cancer than all other cancers combined and 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. More than 50 MM patients have UV related skin damage that puts them at risk for skin cancer Annual cost of treatment is estimated to be $8.1 billion, $4.8 billion for non-melanoma and $3.3 billion for melanoma (2018) ~4.5 million cases of basal cell and squamous cell diagnosed per year in the US, ~11 MM diagnostic biopsies, with ~20,000 deaths ~180,000 new cases of melanoma were reported in 2018, ~4.0 MM diagnostic biopsies, with ~10,000 deaths A Snapshot of the U.S. Skin Cancer Market ~3,000 new cases cutaneous lymphoma diagnosed, challenging diagnosis with average 3-6 years to definitive diagnosis, confusion with dermatitis leads to significant number of surgical biopsies (est. 420,000 annually) Skin Cancer Melanoma, Basal Cell, and Squamous Cell Carcinoma Source: Cancer Facts & Figures 2018.

Impact Discussion We are deemed an essential business and our commercial laboratory remains fully operational Dermatology offices have not yet re-opened to full capacity and future operations are dependent upon regional COVID-19 infection rates and regional restrictions We have been conducting virtual sales calls, providing client education, and introduced a telemedicine option for remote, clinician-guided sample collection We completed approximately 80% of our sales force expansion for the year by July 2020 and expect to finish 2020 with ~40 sales representatives We cannot predict which states will remain open, but we did recently see some encouraging data which underscores clinician acceptance of the DermTech PLA including: Sample volume recovery in October 2020 to all time high levels Sample volume for September and October 2020 increased 34%, compared to January and February 2020 In October 2020, we had an all-time high in the number of ordering clinicians who order 10 or more tests per month.
