Risks and Challenges:
- Revenue decreased in Q3 2026 primarily due to a decrease in average reimbursement per test and a slight decline in total cases completed at Precision Pathology Laboratory Services (PPLS).
- The decline in PPLS cases was partly due to internal business changes at three research clients, though multiple accounts have since returned.
- The Company faces risks related to the timing, cost, enrollment, and outcome of clinical studies.
- There is a risk that preliminary findings may not translate into safe and effective therapies or commercial products.
- Risks include the need for further validation of new applications, the extent of physician adoption, payer coverage, reimbursement rates, and the ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property rights.
