Guardant Health has not completed preparation of its financial statements for the fourth quarter or full year of 2022. The revenue ranges and test volumes presented in this release for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2022 are preliminary and unaudited and are thus inherently uncertain and subject to change as we complete our financial results. The company is in the process of completing its customary year-end close and review procedures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and there can be no assurance that final results for this period will not differ from these estimates. During the course of the preparation of the Guardant Health’s consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the company's independent registered public accountants may identify items that could cause final reported results to be materially different from the preliminary financial estimates presented herein.
