Date:11/5/2009

eat progress on our hiring initiatives, ending the third quarter with 34 hematopathologists on staff with our Cartesian Medical Group, and 67 sales representatives in the field. The outstanding productivity of these groups has allowed us to revise our hiring plan through the close of 2009, which we now expect to end with the 34 physicians currently on staff, adding more at the start of 2010. Our sales team is expected to expand to approximately 85 field representatives by the end of the year, with additional sales staff to come as the new year begins."

Performance Outlook

Recognizing the strength of our collection efforts and financial results in the third quarter, Genoptix expects revenues for the full-year 2009 of approximately $180 million with full-year gross margins of approximately 60%.

Operating margins for 2009 are expected to be in the mid- to high-twentieth percentile, with net income of approximately $29 million, up from prior estimates of approximately $25 million. Diluted EPS for the full-year 2009 is now expected to be approximately $1.60, increasing from a prior range of $1.40 to $1.45, on about 18.0 million shares. This assumes a tax rate of approximately 44%, down from initial estimations of 45%.

Based on continued infrastructure expansion and implementation of its strategic plan, the Company projects capital expenditures of $8.5 million for the full-year 2009, which includes approximately $4.5 million in maintenance capital. A planned laboratory expansion beginning this quarter is now expected to cost approximately $9.5 million, with approximately $4 million to be spent in 2009 and the remainder in the first half of 2010.

For 2010, revenues are expected to grow to approximately $235 million. The Company intends to provide more detailed guidance in February when reporting results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2009.
