Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Principle of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation and Principle of Consolidation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities in which it holds a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s operations were primarily in the United States. The Company had immaterial operations in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) prior to the disposition of its U.K. subsidiary on August 1, 2023.
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and accompanying notes, are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “condensed consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP applicable to interim financial statements. These financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. As such, the information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (the “audited consolidated financial statements”) that were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 25, 2023. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2023 and its condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending March 31, 2024 or any other future interim or annual periods.
Fiscal Year
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to fiscal 2024 refer to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 and references to fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 refer to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period and the accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to the determination of standalone selling price for various performance obligations; the estimated expected benefit period for the rate and recognition pattern of breakage revenue for purchases where a saliva collection kit (“Kit”) is never returned for processing; the capitalization and estimated useful life of internal use software; the useful life of long-lived assets; fair value of intangible assets acquired in business combinations; the fair value of reporting units relative to the carrying amount of goodwill; the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases; stock-based compensation including the determination of the fair value of stock options, annual incentive bonuses payable in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), as well as the Company’s common stock prior to the Closing Date of the Merger; and the valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require revisions to estimates, updates to judgments, or adjustments to the carrying value of assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and will be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known.
Concentration of Supplier Risk
Concentration of Supplier Risk
Certain of the raw materials, components, and equipment associated with the deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”) microarrays and Kits used by the Company in the delivery of its services are available only from third-party suppliers. The Company also relies on a third-party laboratory service for the processing of its customer samples. Shortages and slowdowns could occur in these essential materials, components, equipment, and laboratory services due to an interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. If the Company were unable to procure certain materials, components, equipment, or laboratory services at acceptable prices, it would be required to reduce its laboratory operations, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
A single supplier accounted for 100% of the Company’s total purchases of microarrays and a separate single supplier accounted for 100% of the Company’s total purchases of Kits for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. One laboratory service provider accounted for 100% of the Company’s processing of customer samples for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains a majority of its cash and cash equivalents with a single high-quality financial institution, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by the Company. The Company’s revenue and accounts receivable are derived primarily from the United States. See Note 3, “Revenue,” for additional information regarding geographical disaggregation of revenue. The Company grants credit to its customers in the normal course of business, performs credit evaluations of its significant customers on an as-needed basis, and does not require collateral. Concentrations of credit risk are limited as the Company’s trade receivables are primarily related to third parties, which collect its credit card receivables, and large multinational corporations. The Company regularly monitors the aging of accounts receivable balances.
Restructuring
Restructuring
The Company defines restructuring expenses to include costs directly associated with exit or disposal activities, such as severance payments, benefits continuation, and non-cash stock-compensation charges associated with the modification of certain stock awards. In general, the Company records involuntary employee-related exit and disposal costs when it communicates to employees that they are entitled to receive such benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair values attributed to underlying net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets. The Company tests goodwill each fiscal year on January 1st for impairment at the Consumer and Research Services reporting unit level. Goodwill is also tested for impairment whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Performance of the qualitative impairment assessment requires judgment in identifying and considering the significance of relevant events and circumstances, including external factors such as macroeconomic and industry conditions and the legal and regulatory environment, as well as entity-specific factors, such as actual and planned financial performance or sustained market declines, that could impact the fair value of the Consumer and Research Services reporting unit. If, after assessing the totality of these qualitative factors, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no additional assessment is deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test in which the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. For results of the Company's goodwill impairment analysis performed as of December 31, 2023, see Note 8, “Balance Sheet Components — Goodwill.”
Contingencies
Contingencies
    Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, disputes, legal proceedings, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been or will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Recoveries of such legal costs from insurance policies are recognized when realization becomes probable and estimable.
Liquidity
Liquidity
The Company’s operations have been financed primarily through the sales of equity securities and revenue from sales of PGS, telehealth, and research services. During fiscal 2022, the Company received gross proceeds of $309.7 million from the Merger and $250.0 million from the PIPE investment consummated in connection with the Merger. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future due to the investments it intends to continue to make in research and development to capitalize on market opportunities and drive long-term growth, as well as operating expenses incurred within general and administrative, and sales and marketing. The Company may require additional financing to fund operations to meet its business plan. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Company’s Class A common stock, the availability and cost of additional equity capital, the Company’s ability to retain the listing of its Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market, and the general economic and industry conditions affecting the availability and cost of capital.
On November 10, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Nasdaq Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). The Company’s failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Requirement was based on its Class A common stock per share price being below the $1 threshold for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Letter, the Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Letter to regain compliance, and may be eligible for up to an additional 180 days in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the compliance period (or the second compliance period, if applicable), its common stock will become subject to delisting. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock during the compliance period(s) and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including initiating a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Neither the Nasdaq Letter nor the Company’s noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement have an immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Class A common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “ME.”
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $242.4 million. Based on current cash resources and the implementation of the previously-disclosed reductions in force in June and August 2023, the Company believes its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund estimated operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management considers that there are no conditions or events in the aggregate that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
