Key Q&A
Q:Is it too early to assume that these excellent results are the result of Carrie taking over?
A:No. It’s the result of a lot of years of Carrie’s work behind the scenes on the operational side getting us to profitability and improved profitability.
Q:What do you have any thoughts about tariff impact?
A:We don’t buy a significant amount of things. Our cost structure is mainly people or depreciation. We have limited exposure to tariffs and can mitigate potential impacts through price increases.
Q:Do you think there’s opportunities to add additional customers in biomed services?
A:Yes, we have a great network and are focused on driving the team to explore additional work outside of GE.
Q:With the jump in gross margins, how should we estimate it for the rest of the year?
A:This is maybe a high watermark; gross margin should stabilize but not necessarily go up.
Q:Why do you think of the slowdown in the oncology business?
A:The growth was due to volume and improved revenue cycle collections, but we don’t expect that high growth to continue.
Q:Is pricing stable for the oncology business?
A:Pricing can fluctuate by quarter, but it’s generally stable.
Q:What was responsible for the nice pop in gross margin for the device solution?
A:The growth is mainly from the rental business, which has a favorable pricing structure.
Q:Do you see any risk from proposed budget cuts by the new administration?
A:No, we’re in a good space in the home care market and don’t see cuts to our reimbursements.
Q:Is the $2.5 million in cost for the IT upgrade going to be gone by 2026?
A:It should drop off rapidly in the first quarter of 2026.
Q:Was any of the tax paid in cash, and when do you think the tax rate comes to something more realistic?
A:The tax rate is affected by non-deductible expenses; our underlying tax rate is around 30, and we won’t be significant cash taxpayers for a while.
Q:Could you provide more color on gross margin decline on the patient services side?
A:The decline is due to new business being lower margin, particularly in wound care.
Q:Could you discuss the reimbursement for the chemo mouthpiece?
A:There’s a lot of interest, but it’s taking time for customers to place orders and get reimbursement experience.
Q:Is the $2.5 million IT upgrade cost just for 2025?
A:$2.5 million is the budget for the current year, and we expect to catch up on costs.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management appeared to avoid giving a direct answer regarding the specific timeline for the reimbursement experience of the chemo mouthpiece, stating that it would take time to understand the reimbursement process after orders are placed.
