Imported reagent cost exposure
Most diagnostic materials are imported. Management acknowledged potential currency and inflation impacts on material costs if geopolitical pressures persist, though Q1 was unaffected.
Competitive intensity in diagnostics
Management explicitly stated that competitive intensity has not reduced structurally and is unlikely to do so, with hospital-based labs and new entrants continuously entering the market.
Rural program monetization unclear
The rural outreach program tested 10,000+ patients in 7 states but is described as a health initiative rather than immediate revenue driver, with monetization pathway still being developed.
