"In the third quarter, we continued to deliver positive results as the organizational realignment and expense controls we put in place resulted in another quarter of improvements in our non-GAAP gross margin and operating expense, as well as our cash burn. There are also early signs demonstrating that the steps we’ve taken to drive higher-quality revenue are taking hold, driven by our portfolio optimization efforts and a focus on operational excellence," said Ken Knight, president and chief executive officer of Invitae. "We continue to be optimistic about the vitality of Invitae’s many strengths, including our great assets, capabilities, and a comprehensive, synergistic set of solutions serving the current and future needs of our patients and partners. I am pleased with the momentum, and our energy is targeting significant market opportunities."
