Most of the Company's principal operations, other than manufacturing, are located in the United States. Revenue from customers in the United States represented $89.9 million, or 52%, of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, $44.1 million, or 41%, of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $41.0 million, or 42%, of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 16, Segment Reporting for additional information on revenue by reporting segment.
Revenue from customers in China represented $11.8 million, or 7%, of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, 15% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 11% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022. With the exception of China in 2024, 2023, and 2022, no foreign country or jurisdiction had revenue in excess of 10% of the Company's total revenue during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
One genomics customer accounted for 6%, 10%, and 11% of the Company's total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and 5% and 14% of outstanding net trade receivables at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company's total revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. Revenue from the Company's five largest customers represented 22% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, 24% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 19% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022
Collaboration and License Agreements
Illumina Cambridge, Ltd.
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a multi-year arrangement with Illumina Cambridge, Ltd. ("Illumina"), originally entered into by SomaLogic and Illumina in December 2021 (the "Illumina Agreement"), to jointly develop and commercialize co-branded kits to combine Illumina's Next Generation Sequencing ("NGS") technology with SomaScan® technology (the "Co-Branded Kits"). Pursuant to the Illumina Agreement, SomaLogic received a non-refundable upfront payment of $30.0 million in January 2022. Subsequent to executing the Illumina Agreement, Illumina paid an additional $0.5 million to purchase the equipment, supplies and training necessary to run the SomaScan® assay at their facilities, representing a modification to the Illumina Agreement. As of the Closing Date, the Company determined that the transaction price of the Illumina Agreement was $30.5 million. Subsequent to commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits, the Company is entitled to receive $124.5 million of minimum guaranteed royalties through the term of the Illumina Agreement. No royalties were included in the Illumina transaction price as probability of commercialization had not been achieved as of the Closing Date.
Subsequent to commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits, Illumina has the right to purchase SOMAmer reagents below SSP through the remaining term of the Illumina Agreement, which will continue for approximately 8 years following commercialization. Illumina's option to purchase SOMAmer reagents below SSP for this period represents a significant material right (the "Material Right"). As of the Closing Date, the Company allocated $30.4 million of the Illumina transaction price to the Material Right, which will be recognized as revenue as Illumina purchases SOMAmer reagents post commercialization.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company determined that commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits is probable due to the launch of an early-access program, and adjusted the transaction price to include $127.9 million of royalties expected to be received from 2025 through 2032. The Company allocated $0.4 million of the adjusted transaction price to satisfied performance obligations, and recognized that amount as revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. The total transaction price of the Illumina Agreement as adjusted is $158.4 million. Substantially all of the transaction price is allocated to the Material Right, which the Company expects to recognize as revenue over an 8-year period from 2025 through 2032.
NEC Corporation
Additionally, in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a joint development and commercialization agreement (the "JDCA") with NEC Solution Innovators, Ltd. ("NEC"), originally entered into by SomaLogic and NEC in March 2020, to develop and commercialize SomaScan® services in Japan. The JDCA is within the scope of ASC 808 as both companies are active participants and are exposed to significant rewards and risks dependent on commercial failure or success, and is accounted for by analogy to ASC 606.
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed certain contract liabilities and recorded $1.8 million of deferred revenue as of the Closing Date. Under the JDCA, the Company was entitled to receive $2.0 million in exchange for research and development services, which was received in April 2024. As of December 31, 2024, deferred revenue related to the JDCA was $0.8 million, which is expected to be fully recognized by March 31, 2025.
New England Biolabs, Inc.
Also in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with New England Biolabs, Inc. ("NEB"), originally entered into by SomaLogic and NEB in September 2022 (the "NEB Agreement"), whereby the Company provides a license to use certain proprietary information and know-how relating to SomaLogic's aptamer technology. Under the NEB Agreement, the Company is guaranteed fixed minimum royalties of $5.0 million to be received through September 2025. No revenue related to the guaranteed fixed minimum royalties will be recognized, as all revenue related to the receivable was recognized by SomaLogic prior to the Merger. Any revenue above the guaranteed fixed minimum royalties will be recognized in the period in which the subsequent sale or usage has occurred. As of December 31, 2024, royalties receivable related to this agreement were $4.7 million, included in accounts receivable within current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
