Cash Flow VolatilityFree cash flow has been inconsistent: TTM FCF covered only ~61% of net income and prior years included negative FCF. This uneven conversion constrains capital allocation flexibility, raises sensitivity to revenue timing, and could pressure dividend sustainability or fund investment without external financing.
Margin PressureA ~5 percentage‑point Y/Y gross margin decline reflects product and geographic mix shifts. If structural mix, pricing or reimbursement trends persist, margin compression would reduce adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, weakening the company’s ability to fund growth initiatives and sustain dividend targets.
Revenue Variability / SeasonalityDependence on end‑user patterns, partner inventory cadence and outbreak-driven demand creates quarter-to-quarter revenue swings. Such variability complicates capacity planning and forecasting, can magnify cash flow volatility and makes consistent margin expansion harder to achieve over the medium term.
