Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

  • The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) resulted in significant declines in sales of the Company’s ConfirmMDx and SelectMDx tests during 2020, adversely affected sales in 2021, and could continue to impact volumes in 2022, and the business may experience other adverse effects as a result of the pandemic.
  • We have a history of losses, and expect to incur net losses in the future and may never achieve profitability.
  • We might require substantial additional funding to continue our operations and to respond to business needs or take advantage of new business opportunities, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
  • Our commercial success will depend on the market acceptance and adoption of our current and future tests.
  • Our financial results are largely dependent on sales of one test, and we will need to generate sufficient revenues from this and other future solutions to grow our business.
  • We face uncertainties over the reimbursement of our tests by third party payors.
  • Billing and collections processing for our tests is complex and time-consuming, and any delay in transmitting and collecting claims could have an adverse effect on revenue.
  • Our business and reputation will suffer if we are unable to establish and comply with, stringent quality standards to assure that the highest level of quality is observed in the performance of our tests.
  • We expect to make significant investments to research and develop new tests, which may not be successful.
  • Failure to comply with governmental payor regulations could result in us being excluded from participation in Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental payor programs, which would adversely affect our business.
  • We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations or violations of regulations may, directly or indirectly, adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and harm our business.
  • If the FDA were to begin requiring approval or clearance of our tests, we could incur substantial costs and time delays associated with meeting requirements for premarket clearance or approval.
  • The dual listing of our ordinary shares and ADSs following the U.S. offering may adversely affect the liquidity and value of the ADSs.
