On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which includes provisions addressing regulations and federal funding affecting healthcare. These provisions include, but are not limited to, changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, and could lead to revised regulatory requirements and reduced federal funding. As a result of these changes, the Company could experience a decline in utilization of its diagnostic testing services due to a reduction in overall insurance coverage, which may cause the Company’s revenue to decrease. However, the Company currently believes any such reduction would not likely have a material impact on its results of operations in future periods. The potential impacts described above represent the Company’s assessment at this time, and the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the OBBBA on its business and operations as the legislation’s provisions continue to become effective through 2028.
