- Domestic business growth expected at 15% to 20% CAGR for the next 1-2 years; export growth targeted at 20% to 25% CAGR. - Coris acquisition expected to contribute EUR7-8 million revenue within 2-3 years, with EBITDA margins improving to 10-15% post 2-3 years as manpower costs reduce. - Molecular diagnostics business projected to grow 50% from current levels without significant incremental capital investment; EBITDA margins expected to stabilize around 55% (slightly down from ~60%) due to competitive and inflationary pressures. - Pipeline R&D and expanding product portfolio (including AMR and PCR products) anticipated to add to top-line growth and profitability in medium term. - Conservative guidance given to ensure delivering above expectations; potential for big tender orders or acquisitions could spur upside beyond current projections. - EPS expected to improve with business scale, margin stabilization, and consolidation of Coris from H2 FY26 onwards.
