EXAGEN INC. Commitments Disclosure
Commitments and Contingencies
Licensing Agreements
The Company has licensed technology for use in its diagnostic tests. In addition to the milestone payments required by these agreements, individual license agreements generally provide for ongoing royalty payments of less than 1% on net sales of products which incorporate licensed technology, as defined in such agreements. Royalties are accrued when incurred and recorded in cost of revenue in the accompanying statements of operations.
Supply Agreements
In July 2025, the Company amended a supply agreement (the Amended Supply Agreement) with one of its suppliers for certain reagents, which includes updated pricing terms, an extended term through June 30, 2029, and minimum purchase commitments for consumable products used in the Company's diagnostic biomarkers. Pursuant to the Amended Supply Agreement, the Company is provided equipment by the supplier to be used by the Company in connection with the consumable products. The aggregate minimum annual purchase commitment for the duration of the Amended Supply Agreement is $24.0 million, including a minimum purchase commitment of $3.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2025, $6.0 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2026 through 2028 and $3.0 million for the six month period ending June 30, 2029.
The Company accounts for the Amended Supply Agreement as an embedded finance lease for the equipment provided, with the reagents as a non-lease component accounted for separately. The minimum purchase commitments for the reagents represent in-substance fixed contract consideration and is recorded based on the relative fair value of the equipment of $3.1 million as a ROU asset and related lease liability. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a finance lease ROU asset of $2.8 million and lease liabilities of $2.8 million on the Company's balance sheets related to the embedded finance lease. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.2 million related to this embedded finance lease on the Company's statements of operations.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications, including for subpoenas and other civil investigative demands, from governmental agencies, Medicare or Medicaid and managed care organizations reviewing billing practices or requesting comment on allegations of billing irregularities that are brought to their attention through billing audits or third parties. The Company's exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made or that the Company believes to be immaterial. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company does not believe the outcome of any such matters will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Pursuant to a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), which has been previously disclosed, the Company made a single lump-sum remittance to the government in the amount of $0.7 million plus interest in October 2023. The U.S. Attorney’s Office dismissed the “covered conduct” elements in the qui tam with prejudice, while non-covered conduct was dismissed without prejudice. The DOJ excused itself from the case in connection with the settlement. The Company’s ability to participate in federally funded healthcare programs was unaffected by the settlement. In November 2023, the complaint was unsealed and served on the Company. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In February 2024, the relator filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint. The Company opposed this motion. In March 2025, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with prejudice and denied the relator’s motion for leave to amend. On April 14, 2025, the relator filed an appeal with respect to this ruling. On July 15, 2025, the qui tam case was dismissed with prejudice by the presiding judge. Both the DOJ and the relator’s counsel filed a stipulation of dismissal in the matter.Historical Timeline

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
