CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA"), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our product development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects, operating results, cash flows and/or financial condition. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described below and in "Item 1A-Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not undertake an obligation to update forward-looking statements. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

We are a diversified healthcare company that seeks to establish industry-leading positions in large and rapidly growing medical markets. Our pharmaceutical

business features Rayaldee, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism ("SHPT") in adults with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease ("CKD") and vitamin D insufficiency, and Somatrogon (hGH-CTP), a once-weekly human growth hormone injection for which we have partnered with Pfizer Inc. ("Pfizer") with respect to Somatrogon (hGH-CTP)'s further development and commercialization. Regulatory applications for Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) for the treatment of children and adolescents as young as three years of age with growth disturbance due to insufficient secretion of growth hormone, have been approved in more than 50 markets worldwide, including the United States, European Union Member States, Japan, Canada, and Australia under the brand name NGENLA®.

Additionally, in May 2022, we acquired ModeX Therapeutics, Inc. ("ModeX"), a biotechnology company focused on developing innovative multi-specific immune therapies for cancer and infectious disease candidates. ModeX has a robust early-stage pipeline with assets in key areas of immuno-oncology and infectious diseases, and we intend to further expand our pharmaceutical product pipeline through ModeX's portfolio of development candidates.

Our diagnostics business includes BioReference Health, LLC ("BioReference"), one of the nation's largest full service laboratories with a significant sales and marketing team designed to drive growth and leverage new products. Through BioReference, we offer our 4Kscore prostate cancer test. Through BioReference, we provide laboratory testing services, primarily to customers in the larger metropolitan areas in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Maryland, Indiana, Virginia, California, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, DC, Illinois and Massachusetts, as well as to customers in a number of other states. We offer a comprehensive test menu of clinical diagnostics for blood, urine and tissue analysis. This includes hematology, clinical chemistry, immunoassay, infectious disease, serology, hormones, and toxicology assays, as well as Pap smear, anatomic pathology (biopsies) and other types of tissue analysis, as well as testing for COVID-19. We market our laboratory testing services directly to physicians, geneticists, hospitals, clinics, correctional and other health facilities.

We operate established, revenue-generating pharmaceutical platforms in Spain, Ireland, Chile, and Mexico, from which we expect to generate positive cash flow and facilitate future market entry for our products currently in development. We have a development and commercial supply pharmaceutical company as well as a global supply chain operation. We also own a specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients ("APIs") manufacturer in Israel.

We have a highly experienced management team, composed of individuals with solid industry experience and extensive development, regulatory and commercialization expertise and relationships that provide access to commercial opportunities.

All product or service marks appearing in type form different from that of the surrounding text are trademarks or service marks owned, licensed to, promoted or distributed by OPKO, its subsidiaries or affiliates, except as noted.

Table of Contents

We have under development a broad and diversified portfolio of diagnostic tests, small molecules, and biologics targeting a broad range of unmet medical needs. We intend to continue to leverage our proprietary technology and our strengths in all phases of research and development to further develop and commercialize our portfolio of proprietary pharmaceutical and diagnostic products. In support of our strategy, we plan to:

  • continue to enhance our commercialization capability in the U.S. and internationally;
  • obtain requisite regulatory approval and compile clinical data for our most advanced product candidates;
  • expand into other medical markets that provide significant opportunities and that we believe are complementary to and synergistic with our business;
  • continue marketing and commercialization of Rayaldee, and potentially expand the label into additional indications;
  • continue to support Pfizer's efforts to seek approval for additional indications for Somatrogon (hGH-CTP), including adult growth hormone deficiency. Somatrogon under the brand name NGENLA® is currently sold by Pfizer in over 50 markets, including the United States, European Union Member States, Japan, Canada, and Australia; and
  • enter into collaborations and strategic partnerships designed to help advance and develop our product candidates.

Additionally, we plan to leverage our acquisition of ModeX to further expand our pharmaceutical product line. ModeX is developing next-generation

multispecific antibodies and vaccines for the treatment of cancer and infectious disease. ModeX's growing portfolio has been developed through its proprietary multispecific antibody technology. As compared to traditional approaches, ModeX's MSTAR platform unites the power of multiple biologic components in a single molecule to create multispecific antibodies and vaccines with greater versatility and potency to better fight complex disease. Its pipeline includes product candidates intended to treat both solid and liquid tumors, as well as several of the world's most pressing viral threats.

We also plan to continue to commercialize and increase adoption of our 4K score test for use in men aged 45 and older who have not had a prior prostate biopsy or a biopsy negative and have an age specific abnormal total PSA or abnormal digital rectal exam. 4K score is available through BioReference.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

We were originally incorporated in Delaware in October 1991 under the name Cytoclonal Pharmaceutics, Inc., which was later changed to eXegenics, Inc. On March 27, 2007, we were part of a three-way merger with Froptix Corporation and Acuity Pharmaceuticals, Inc., both research and development companies. On June 8, 2007, we changed our name to OPKO Health, Inc. Our shares are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker "OPK" and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker "OPK".

BioReference operates 9 laboratory facilities around the country, is in-network with the largest health plans in the United States. We typically operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year and perform and report most routine test results within 24 hours.

Through BioReference, we operate in the following highly specialized laboratory divisions:

  • GenPath (Urology). Provides cutting-edge Uropatholgy, including the proprietary prostate cancer biomarker test, The 4Kscore Test®. As a follow-up to a suspicious PSA test or DRE, The 4Kscore Test helps clarify the biopsy decision-making process by determining a patient-specific probability of finding aggressive prostate cancer on biopsy.
  • GenPath (Oncology). National oncology presence offers a comprehensive portfolio to support the continuum care of cancer patients - from risk assessment to treatment planning. Backed by a team of specialized pathologists, GenPath Oncology delivers cutting-edge solutions that meet the unique needs of oncologists and pathologists, ranging from routine clinical and special coagulation to complex genomic testing for tumor sequencing and hereditary cancer syndromes.

4Kscore Test

We offer the 4Kscore test through BioReference. We began selling the 4Kscore test in the U.S. in March 2014 and in Europe and Mexico in September 2014 and January 2015, respectively. The 4Kscore test was approved by the FDA in December 2021 for use in men aged 45 and older who have not had a prior prostate biopsy or a biopsy negative and have an age specific abnormal total PSA or abnormal digital rectal exam ("DRE"). The 4Kscore test is a laboratory developed test that measures the blood serum or plasma levels of four different prostate-derived kallikrein proteins: Total PSA, Free PSA, Intact PSA and Human Kallikrein-2 ("hK2"). These biomarkers are then combined with a patient's age, optional DRE status (nodule / no nodule), and prior negative biopsy status (yes, prior negative biopsy / no prior biopsy) using a proprietary algorithm to calculate the risk (probability) of finding a Gleason Score 7 or higher prostate cancer. The four kallikrein panel of biomarkers utilized in the 4Kscore test is based on decades of research conducted by scientists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and leading European institutions. Investigators at the Lund University, Sweden, University of Turku, Finland and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, have also demonstrated that the 4Kscore test can risk stratify the 20-year risk for development of prostate metastases and mortality in men who present at age 50 to 60 years old with an elevated PSA.

The 4Kscore test was developed by OPKO and validated in two prospective, blinded studies of 1,012 and 366 men, respectively. The first study was done in collaboration with 26 urology centers across the U.S. and the second study was conducted at eight VA centers in the U.S. with a predominantly African American cohort. African Americans are 1.7 times more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than Caucasian men and 2.2 times more likely to die from the disease. Results showed that the 4Kscore test was highly accurate for predicting the presence of high-grade cancer (Gleason Score 7 or higher) prior to prostate biopsy, regardless of race. The full data from the blinded, prospective U.S. clinical validation studies have been published in peer reviewed medical journals.

The clinical data from both studies demonstrated the ability of the 4Kscore test to discriminate between men with high-grade, aggressive prostate cancer and those men who had no findings of cancer or had low-grade or indolent form of the disease. In separate clinical studies, use of the 4Kscore test led to 64.6% fewer biopsies and was able to discriminate between men with high-grade aggressive prostate cancer and those with no findings of cancer.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network has included the 4Kscore test as a recommended test in its Guidelines for Prostate Cancer Early Detection since 2015. The panel making this recommendation concluded that the 4Kscore test is indicated for use prior to a first prostate biopsy, or after a negative biopsy, to assist patients and physicians in further defining the probability of high-grade cancer. In addition, the European Association of Urology ("EAU") Prostate Cancer Guidelines Panel included the 4Kscore test in their Guidelines for Prostate Cancer since 2018, concluding that the 4Kscore, as a blood test with greater specificity over the PSA test, is indicated for use prior to a first prostate biopsy or after a negative biopsy to assist patients and physicians in further defining the probability of high-grade cancer.

The 4Kscore test has been granted a Category I CPT® code by the AMA (CPT Code 81539). A CPT code is used by insurance companies and government payors to describe health care services and procedures. A Category I CPT code is critical to facilitate reimbursement in government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, as well as private insurance programs. Effective December 30, 2019, Novitas Solutions ("Novitas"), the local Medicare Administrative Contractor for the 4Kscore testing laboratory in New Jersey, provided positive coverage through a local coverage determination with defined coverage criteria. Since that date, 4Kscore test orders meeting the coverage criteria have been reimbursed by Novitas and Medicare Advantage Health Plans.

Disposition of GeneDx

On January 14, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "GeneDx Merger Agreement") with GeneDx Holdings Corp. (formerly, Sema4 Holdings Corp., ("GeneDx Holdings"), pursuant to which, on APril 29, 2022, GeneDx Holdings acquired our former subsidiary, GeneDx LLC, (f/k/a GeneDx, Inc. "GeneDx", and such transaction, the "GeneDx Transaction"). GeneDx is an industry leading national laboratory for testing rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases with international reach, performing testing on specimens from more than 50 countries.

Upon closing of the GeneDx Transaction, GeneDx Holdings paid to us aggregate consideration of $150 million in cash (before deduction of transaction expenses and other customary purchase price adjustments), together with 80.0 million shares (the "Closing Shares") of GeneDx Holdings' Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("GeneDx Holdings Common Stock"). Additionally, subject to GeneDx achieving certain revenue targets for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, we were eligible to receive an earnout payment in cash or stock (at GeneDx Holdings' discretion) equal to a maximum of 30.9 million shares of GeneDx Holdings' common stock if paid in stock (the "GeneDx Milestone Consideration"). Based on the closing price of GeneDx Holdings Common Stock on April 29, 2022, the total upfront consideration was approximately $322 million, and the total aggregate consideration, including the potential Milestone Consideration, was approximately $447 million. We received 23.1 million shares of GeneDx Holdings Common Stock as a result of GeneDx satisfactorily achieving revenue targets as of December 31, 2022; however, we do not expect to receive any GeneDx Milestone Consideration with respect to the year ended December 31, 2023. See Item 1A. Risk Factors "We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the sale of GeneDx."
