Investor feedback and stock reaction

  • Stock experienced a steep sell-off after Q3, attributed to high short interest, increased put option exposure, tax loss selling, and quant fund activity.

  • Investor concerns focused on cash flow timing due to ERP conversions and narrowed guidance with lower Q4 margins, both addressed in the Q3 call.

Cash flow, guidance, and margin targets

  • Adjusted free cash flow guidance for the year remains at 25%-30% of adjusted EBITDA, with Q4 expected to be strong due to delayed Q3 receipts.

  • Long-term cash flow target of 50% of adjusted EBITDA is expected to be reached by 2027, with progress in 2026.

  • Margin improvement initiatives are expected to deliver 100-200 basis points in 2026, with further gains from procurement and facility consolidation by 2027.

Business segment performance and growth drivers

  • Base business revenue, excluding COVID and donor screening, grew 5% in Q3; labs grew 4%, immunohematology 5%, and Triage 7%.

  • Labs business is stable with 5-7 year contracts and inflation adjusters being reintroduced in renewals.

  • Price erosion in labs is about 1-1.5% annually, offset by productivity and new menu pricing.

  • Integrated analyzers now make up 30% of the installed base, with a target of 50%, supporting higher margin immunoassay growth.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
