Good day, and welcome to the OPKO Health Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Conference Call. Please note, this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Yvonne Briggs. Please go ahead.

Thank you, operator, and good afternoon. This is Yvonne Briggs with Alliance Advisors IR. Thank you all for joining today's call to discuss OPKO Health's financial results for the second quarter of 2025. I'd like to remind you that any statements made during this call by management, other than statements of historical fact, will be considered forward-looking, and as such, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could materially affect the company's results. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the various risks described in the company's SEC filings, including the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequently filed SEC reports. Furthermore, this conference call contains time-sensitive information that is accurate only as of the date of the live broadcast, July 31, 2025. Except as required by law, OPKO undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this call. Before we begin, let me review the format for today's call. Dr. Phillip Frost, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will open the call. Dr. Elias Zerhouni, Vice Chairman and President, will then provide an overview of BioReference Health as well as OPKO's Pharmaceutical business. After that, Adam Logal, OPKO's Chief Financial Officer, will review the company's second quarter financial results and discuss OPKO's financial outlook, and then we'll open the call to questions. Now, I'd like to turn the call over to Dr. Frost.

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us. Today, we will report on the continued progress of OPKO Health's strategic initiatives and business performance. We have streamlined BioReference Health's operations as we prepare to close the sale of its oncology and related clinical testing business to Labcorp. This transaction monetizes certain assets while sharpening BioReference's focus on its core testing business and improving its financial profile. This is our second transaction with Labcorp to unlock value and accelerate BioReference's path to profitability. On the pharmaceutical side, we continue to advance our innovative therapeutic pipeline. ModeX has two programs in Phase I clinical trials, with three more expected to enter the clinic late this year and early 2026. A significant catalyst for our pipeline is the Phase I data from our EBV vaccine partnered with Merck that will guide decisions regarding Phase II testing. We're pleased with the progress of our collaboration with Entera Bio to develop an oral tablet formulation of OPK-88006, our GLP-1/glucagon agonist for the treatment of obesity and MASH. Oral administration of this drug candidate has demonstrated encouraging results in animal models with in vivo data presented at the ENDO Annual Meeting in mid-July. OPKO is independently developing OPK-88006 for subcutaneous administration, with in vivo data having been presented at the American Diabetes Association 85th Scientific Sessions in June. We are also collaborating with Entera Bio on a second program to develop an oral form of our GLP-2 candidate for short bowel syndrome. Our Latin American business and our Irish contract pharmaceutical development and manufacturing unit continued to perform well, with increasing revenue and expanding margins even while facing foreign currency headwinds. We've taken several strategic steps to improve our balance sheet and have sufficient capital to allocate to our R&D efforts, which are partially funded by strategic partners and non-dilutive sources. In addition, we have a $200 million common stock repurchase program in place, with $141.5 million remaining capacity as of June 30. As you've noted, we're committed to maximizing shareholder value through the strategic deployment of capital, additional partnerships, business development initiatives, and asset sales. We're confident that this strategy will continue to add value in the second half of 2025 and beyond. With that overview, I'll turn the call over to Elias.

Thank you, Phil, and good afternoon, everyone. Let's start with an update on BioReference Health, our Diagnostics segment. We continue to restructure and right-size this business toward the goal of reaching and sustaining profitability. You will recall that in March, we announced an agreement with Labcorp to sell our oncology assets for $225 million, with $192.5 million payable at closing and an earn-out of up to $32.5 million based on performance. And the earn-out will be measured six months post close and is based on the number of specified client accounts that are retained. We expect this transaction to close near the end of the third quarter of this year. With the pending sale of BioReference Oncology and related clinical testing assets to Labcorp, we expect the remaining business to show improving margins through the balance of the year and beyond. Post-transaction, BioReference will maintain its core clinical testing operations in New York and New Jersey and will continue to offer urology diagnostic services, highlighting our proprietary 4Kscore test for prostate cancer risk assessment, as well as its clinical services business with correctional facilities on a nationwide basis. The revenue of these operations represented approximately $300 million in 2024. Now reflecting our efforts to drive operational efficiencies, BioReference's financial results continue to improve. As I mentioned in our last call, the latest reduction in force and footprint consolidation provided annualized cost savings of approximately $19 million; our headcount stands now at approximately 1,900 for the second quarter. After the close of the oncology transaction, we expect our headcount to decrease to between 1,450 and 1,500 by the fourth quarter. Now, to further grow the business, we have focused our efforts on optimizing our test menu and establishing strategic relationships in the market to increase testing volumes. By focusing on the local New York and New Jersey physician markets, we have really strengthened our position with those who serve this patient base. And this includes ACOs, IPAs, FQHCs, regional health systems, and specialty health care companies. In addition, the combination of our menu size and operational agility as a more focused company is instrumental in capitalizing on new revenue streams such as direct-to-consumer, employer-based testing, and early-phase clinical trials. We are also pleased to announce that on July 25, the FDA granted approval of a supplemental application for the 4Kscore test. And this approval specifically enables the performance of the 4Kscore test even when digital rectal examination information is not available. The 4Kscore test is indicated for the assessment of the likelihood of aggressive prostate cancer in men 45 years or older and reported to have age-specific elevated or abnormal screening PSA results. In the U.S., over 90% of PSA screening tests are performed by primary care providers who will now be potential users of the 4Kscore test. Excluding the pending and closed asset sales, BioReference's testing volume grew by 1.4% in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the year-ago period. As for our urology segment, the 4Kscore test continued to perform well, with a year-over-year increase in test volume of approximately 12%. Now, the aforementioned FDA approval of our supplemental application for the 4Kscore test should provide further opportunities for growth, we believe. Now, let's turn to a discussion of our therapeutics segment, starting with ModeX. The Phase I Epstein-Barr virus vaccine trial by our Merck collaborators is progressing as planned. This trial will evaluate up to 200 healthy adults for safety and tolerability and is comprised of two parts with a different adjuvant for each. We're currently waiting for the analysis of the Phase I results that will guide Merck's decisions on progression to Phase II trials. Several products are advancing in our immuno-oncology and immunology portfolio. The most advanced is our first-in-class MDX2001 CMet-Trop2/CD3-CD28 tetraspecific T cell engager antibody, which has progressed to its fifth dose level in the Phase I clinical trial. We expect to enroll the highest dose level by the end of the year, after which we will focus on assessing signals of efficacy in select tumors known to express high levels of Trop2 or CMet at biologically active doses. And thereafter, we will focus on the tumors that appear most responsive. Now, two additional programs are expected to enter the clinic late this year or early next year, including our MDX2003 tetraspecific T cell engager antibody for lymphoma and leukemia and the MDX2004, an immune rejuvenator for multiple oncology and immunology indications. Our immunology portfolio is focused on the use of multi-specific antibodies for immune-impaired patients, including those with cancer, chronic diseases, and the elderly. Our most advanced product aims to address the unmet need in such patients with a high risk for COVID complications, and we anticipate that Phase I studies will begin early next year. This work is funded by BARDA, which is also supporting the advancement of multi-specific antibodies to prevent influenza currently at the pre-IND stage. We continue to work collaboratively with BARDA, which contributed non-dilutive funding of $59 million last year and an additional $51 million so far this year to advance these programs. Now, as mentioned by Dr. Frost, moving to OPK-88006, our novel long-acting GLP-1 receptor, glucagon receptor dual agonist, we presented a poster on preclinical data at the American Diabetes Association 85th Scientific Session in June, and the therapeutic benefits of OPK-88006 on quantitative biological hallmarks of MASH in mouse models were superior to semaglutide and survodutide, suggesting that OPK-88006 could be a promising GLP-1/glucagon receptor dual agonist for the treatment of obesity and MASH. We are encouraged by these results and OPK-88006's therapeutic potential. As Phil mentioned, our collaboration with Entera Bio continues to advance as we're in the pre-IND stage with an oral version of OPK-88006. The oral program combines our proprietary long-acting oxyntomodulin analog and Entera's proprietary N-Tab technology. At the recent ENDO meeting in San Francisco, we presented new pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic in vivo data for oral OPK-88006 showing excellent bioavailability. In addition, we're working with Entera Bio on another program for short bowel syndrome, which represents a significant unmet need. Short bowel syndrome patients have a reduced ability to absorb nutrients and fluids and are at risk of malnutrition, unintended weight loss, and additional symptoms due to the loss of essential vitamins and minerals. The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism Congress, or ESPEN, accepted our abstract regarding the PK/PD of our oral GLP-2 tablet for the treatment of short bowel syndrome, and this presentation will take place in September in Prague. Finally, our Latin American Pharmaceutical division and Rayaldee continued to perform to plan with sustained revenues and margins, and Adam will provide you also an update on NGENLA. So in summary, we're pleased with our progress in advancing our first-in-class therapeutic multi-specific antibodies for oncology and immunology indications, as well as our multi-vaccine candidates that are progressing in clinical development at Merck and our metabolic disease program with our OPK-88006 GLP-1/glucagon antagonist in both oral and injectable forms for obesity and MASH, as well as an oral GLP-2 agonist for short bowel syndrome. We're confident that the restructuring efforts we're undertaking will position BioReference to be more efficient and profitable following the completion of the second asset sale. Now, let me turn the call over to Adam to discuss our financial results.

Thank you, Elias. Let's begin with our Diagnostics business. Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $101.1 million, including $24.9 million from the oncology assets being sold. This compares with $129.4 million in Q2 2024, with the decline primarily due to the Labcorp transaction that closed in September of 2024. Revenue in our non-oncology business continues to see steady growth, highlighted by an increase in 4Kscore volumes of nearly 12%, which Elias mentioned, and has been accelerating throughout the year. Total costs and expenses were $119.3 million, down from $156 million last year. This includes $29.4 million related to the oncology assets and approximately $2 million in expected one-time costs for severance during the 2025 quarter. As a result, our Diagnostic operating loss improved to $18.2 million compared to $26.6 million in Q2 2024. Depreciation and amortization expense came in at $4.9 million, down from $6.3 million in 2024. Importantly, as Elias mentioned, the actions we've taken throughout the first half of this year and those planned as we close the oncology transaction are expected to deliver over $25 million in annualized cost savings, and we remain on track to achieve cash flow breakeven and positive cash from operations in 2025. Turning to our Pharmaceutical business, revenue was $55.7 million, up $2.9 million from 2024's $52.8 million. Product revenue was $40.7 million, up slightly from 2024's $40.5 million, reflecting an increase in our Spanish and Mexican businesses, partially offset by foreign exchange headwinds in Chile. Rayaldee contributed $7.2 million in both the 2025 and 2024 periods with improved margins during 2025 due to the lower government rebates. IP transfer revenue rose to $15 million, up from $12.3 million, which includes our Pfizer profit share of $6.1 million compared to $6.3 million for 2024. While the first half of 2025 gross profit share has been slower than we anticipated, we are optimistic about the efforts Pfizer has made and expect to make throughout the remainder of 2025 on the global commercialization efforts of the program. Globally, the adoption of the long-acting form of hGH has been slower than we and the broader market has anticipated. However, we continue to see trends of accelerated transition to the once-weekly formulation. Based on the available market data, NGENLA holds about one-third of the global long-acting market. As the market continues to move to the once-weekly dosing, we believe Pfizer will continue to grow its portion of the total market. In addition, BARDA funding increased to $6.5 million from $5 million, reflecting the expanded program activity for our infectious disease antibody programs. Costs and expenses were $84.4 million, up from $77.6 million, driven by increased R&D investments. R&D totaled $29.8 million, up from $23.7 million, primarily due to the ModeX development programs, including our BARDA-supported programs. As Elias mentioned, we are making progress within our clinical development program and with spending on our ongoing Phase I trial, as well as expenses to support an additional five IND filings within the next 12 months for our GLP-1, glucagon, oncology, immunology, and infectious disease programs. As a result, our pharmaceutical operating loss was $28.7 million compared to $24.8 million last year. Depreciation and amortization expense was $18.1 million, slightly more than 2024's $17.9 million. For our consolidated results, consolidated operating loss improved slightly during 2025 to $60 million compared to $61.7 million as a result of the improved results at BioReference, partially offset by the increased investments in our pharmaceutical research and development programs. As you'll recall, we completed our convertible note exchange on April 1, 2025. As a result, we recorded approximately $92 million of expense during the second quarter of 2025, while our 2024 net loss benefited from an increase in the value of one of our investments, which resulted in a gain of $60 million during 2024. As a result, our net loss for Q2 '25 was $148.4 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $10.3 million, or $0.01 per share in Q2 2024. As we think about our balance sheet and capital allocation, we ended the quarter with approximately $285 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. We remain focused on optimizing our capital structure while maintaining our investments into our innovative R&D programs. As I mentioned, we completed the convertible note exchange earlier this quarter using approximately $65 million in cash and issuing 121 million shares, eliminating over $159 million in principal debt, which meaningfully improved our overall debt position. Under our expanded share repurchase authorization, as Phil mentioned, we repurchased approximately 13.6 million shares during Q2 '25 and have approximately $142 million remaining authorized, which represents more than 13% of our current share count at recent trading ranges. Cash used in operations during Q2 increased from our normal levels due to certain working capital adjustments, including a negotiated lease exit for one of our BioReference facilities, as well as income taxes paid on our transactions that closed in 2024. We also invested approximately $8 million into Entera Bio related to our oral GLP-1 program. Looking forward, we expect to close our second Labcorp transaction later this year, which will bring in $192.5 million at closing with potential proceeds of up to $225 million. As we move to our outlook, we continue to execute our multiphase plan to drive profitability in our Diagnostics business by reducing the fixed infrastructure costs and improving our operational efficiency. Following the oncology transaction, the remaining BioReference business is expected to reach cash flow positive and profitability during 2025. This will exclude nonrecurring and noncash items, and we have not adjusted our outlook for the closing of the oncology transaction, but we'll do so once the closing date is certain. For the full year 2025 outlook, we expect total revenue to be between $640 million and $660 million; revenue from services of $405 million to $425 million, including $95 million to $105 million from our oncology assets; revenue from products of $160 million to $170 million, and other revenue of $65 million to $75 million, including our Pfizer profit share of $28 million to $35 million, and support from BARDA of $30 million to $35 million. Total costs and expenses are expected to be between $835 million and $865 million, excluding $15 million to $20 million of one-time restructuring costs for our Diagnostics business. This includes $125 million to $135 million in expenses related to our oncology assets, $120 million to $130 million of research and development spending, which will be partially offset by $30 million to $35 million in BARDA funding. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to be approximately $90 million, and we also anticipate a $100 million gain on the oncology transaction, which will reduce operating expenses and increase operating income in the quarter which we close. With that, I'd like to open up the call for questions.

Our first question comes from Maury Raycroft with Jefferies.

This is James on for Maury. Congrats on the update. Given that new prescriptions and total prescriptions for NGENLA were up in Q2, do you expect that the $6.1 million in NGENLA/Genotropin profit share in Q2 was due to lower gross-to-net from co-pay assistance in Q1 carrying over to Q2? And have you received any insights from Pfizer on Q2 sales? Or do you plan to follow up with them for clarification? And I have a follow-up.

James, thanks for the questions. And we definitely saw an improvement in the U.S. market as it relates to the prescription trends that you identified. We continue to see some of the international markets that are in the early days of launches continuing to work through some of the higher-cost inventory that's set out there. So, we expect the remainder of the year to pick back up to the traditional levels, but we saw strength broadly across all of the geographic markets for NGENLA. So, we're pretty optimistic for where that's headed.

Got it. And then a follow-up is, how is EBITDA margin for the Diagnostics business tracking in Q2 versus Q1? And how are you setting expectations for EBITDA profitability in Q3 and Q4? And going along with that, this approval with the supplemental application for the 4Kscore test. Can you talk about implications for growth in 4Kscore test sales in the coming quarters?

Yes. So, let me pull the EBITDA question apart. So, when we think about the Diagnostics segment, we're continuing to see quarter-over-quarter improvements in a lot of the steps we've taken to drive costs down are bearing fruit. If you were to look at the $18.2 million operating loss that resulted in Q2, consider the $2 million of nonrecurring expenses in there, you start to see that $4.5 million comes from the oncology business that is set to close later this year and depreciation and amortization expense of $4.9 million. It gets you to about a $6 million or a couple of million-dollars-a-month loss in that segment. A lot of the costs, as Elias mentioned, are expected to come out when we close the oncology transaction in a couple of months' time and get our headcount even further down. We've been pretty judicious about making sure we maintain that business with the infrastructure at BioReference that's required to get through the closing. But once the closing occurs, we'll be able to bring the overall cost structure down as we planned. We feel we're on track to deliver those cost savings and to get to that cash flow positive basis this year, both from an EBITDA and a cash position. As it relates to 4Kscores, we've seen really good upward growth on the test this year so far. We mentioned it's about 12% up. I think July, that really have started to accelerate, and that is before we have the FDA label change that really opens up the market for us to think about primary care docs being able to order the test. So, we think the upside is meaningful. And as I mentioned, being at 12% and meaningfully higher in July, we think, again, that the opportunity is pretty important. That test has a strong margin profile with a relatively small sales force calling on docs today.

Our next question comes from Edward Tenthoff with Piper Sandler.

So, my questions have to do with the obesity efforts. And specifically with an increasingly crowded landscape, how do you envision oxyntomodulin differentiating either as an injectable or with the oral formulation of its partner with Entera?

Yes. Thanks for the question. I mean, fundamentally, we think there is a differentiation because what we found out actually, and we studied the molecule that we created, that not only is it effective in obesity, but glucagon increases the metabolism. But more importantly, glucagon has an effect downstream of glucagon on FGF21, which rises with our molecule. FGF21 is known actually to be anti-fibrosis or correct fibrosis, as we know from other molecules that have been developed around FGF21. So, we believe, based on the results we have and then the preclinical data that show a very good profile for the drug. Number one, we believe that it will have merits for MASH patients combined with obesity and diabetes. So, we will have to look at that. The second advantage, obviously, is that with Entera, we can create an oral form of the molecule. And frankly, that is something that in the information that we have from physicians is welcome because they like to stabilize the patient and convert them into oral forms to maintain the weight loss and maintain the effect over time without having to continue with the injectables. So, those are the two aspects. It has a biological aspect that we believe will be very valuable in MASH. And then it has a stabilization aspect of the regimen that you have to keep patients on to maintain the obesity reduction and the metabolic improvements that you hope to achieve.

That's very helpful. And then when it comes to actually proving that out in the Phase I study, are there endpoints you're envisioning or different patient populations? Or how do you think you can actually tease that out in the clinical trials?

All right. So that's a great question. So, our plan is to really go into patients who have biomarker evidence of MASH and are obese, okay? And really go into that Phase I data on that population of patients that will eventually be of interest if we get both safety and some signal of efficacy with biomarkers. We're not going to do a biopsy study. We don't want to do that until we have good evidence that both the dose and the effect are really differentiating, okay? So that's the idea. And we're basically focused on patients who have, for example, liver stiffness, liver fat, and evidence that they are not only obese, but they have a fatty liver that could lead to fibrosis eventually and liver failure. So, those are the patients we're going to focus on in Phase I with a cost that is quite reasonable. But then, obviously, these developments are quite expensive. We're not going to pursue that all on our own, and we have a lot of interest coming our way about potential collaborations once we achieve the data that we need to have to really create the value of the asset forward.

Our next question comes from Yale Jen with Laidlaw & Company.

I just want to follow up on what Ed just mentioned earlier. What do you estimate the size in terms of patients both have obesity as well as MASH? And would that be the specific sort of indication you're going to explore in the Phase I study when you presumably start later this year or early next year?

Yes, that's a great question. We are focused on that population, specifically on patients with biomarkers indicating they fall within the F2, F3, and F4 stages of MASH. Those are our target patients. In Phase I, we will look for safety signals and dosing ranges, rather than definitive efficacy, but we will observe biomarker trends that may inform us. Regarding the total patient count, it's difficult to specify an exact number, but we anticipate involving between 100 and 170 patients for the complete Phase I study.

Okay, that's very helpful. I have a follow-up question about your collaboration with Entera. You have both 88006 and a compound for treating short bowel syndrome. Can you provide more details on the differences between these two compounds, especially the one for short bowel syndrome, which we might not know much about?

The GLP-1 glucagon receptor co-agonist is fundamentally different from GLP-2. GLP-2 is a distinct molecule that is not physiologically comparable to GLP-1, despite the similarity in their names. GLP-2 plays a significant role in regulating intestinal absorption, making it a focus for development aimed at addressing short bowel syndrome and related malnutrition. This is a pressing unmet need that has not been adequately addressed, as patients often rely on infusions of parenteral nutrition and food supplements, which are not very effective. Therefore, the program was created to meet this need, targeting a completely different patient group than the obesity population we aim to serve with GLP-1 glucagon. Our collaboration with Entera is enhancing our offerings by providing an oral option, which we believe will be appealing as we present a range of treatment approaches from injectable to oral and vice versa.

Maybe to squeeze one more in here, which is when you anticipate this program to enter clinical study? Would that be next year?

Yes, I think so. Yes. And when exactly? I don't know. It depends on FDA; it depends on regulatory. But yes, I mean, definitely next year.

Our next question comes from Yi Chen with H.C. Wainwright & Company.

My question is related to the long-acting GLP-1 receptor glucagon receptor dual agonist. So today, many patients taking GLP-1 drugs discontinue treatment due to GI side effects, and also the current GLP-1 drugs cause lean muscle mass loss as well as fat loss, which is a big problem for elderly patients. So, does your dual agonist have the potential to improve either of these two aspects of the current GLP-1 drugs on the market today?

I hope that on the GI side effects, we will be able to titrate properly, and that's an open question. I can't tell you it will or will not. I think when you look at the data of others who have GLP-1 glucagon molecules, you might have the hope that, that will be the case. But every molecule is different. Ours has a very good profile on a preclinical basis. Now in terms of lean muscle mass, I don't think there will be a major difference. There may be one because glucagon is enhancing metabolism. But I don't think anybody knows the answer exactly. Some trials by Boehringer Ingelheim and others seem to show a little bit better profile, but I really wouldn't stick my neck out here and say we will definitely have better profiles on both of these counts. But I hope that we will because of the difference in metabolic action.

Our next question comes from Michael Petusky with the Barrington Research.

Adam, I was writing as quickly as I could, but not as fast as you were speaking. What was the BARDA revenue for the quarter? Was it $5.6 million, did you mention?

Yes. So, BARDA revenue in the quarter, let me make sure I get it right. It was $6.5 million, yes, for the quarter.

Sorry, $6.5 million. Okay. And the guide for revenue for BARDA for the year?

Sure. So, it was $30 million to $35 million for the year.

Okay. And then, I guess, as you sort of think about the go forward after the oncology deal closes, does your assumption of cash flow breakeven, et cetera, does that require a higher revenue run rate than sort of the, let's call it, $300 million annualized that will be left post close? Or like essentially, does that top line have to grow in order to sort of achieve, or can it sort of roughly stay around this level?

Yes. So, we've got plans for the revenue to grow, but achieving cash flow breakeven and being positive is not dependent on us achieving our growth plan.

I would like to know your thoughts on capital allocation priorities regarding the cash on the balance sheet, especially since you will presumably have more cash in the next 90 days.

Yes. So, I'll start us off, Mike, and let Elias and others weigh in. As we kind of laid out early this year, we think about cash really for dollar-for-dollar of what we're spending or investing in the operations and R&D programs for us to be investing back into the balance sheet. And that's been pretty close to where we've been this year for the first half. I think when we did the debt exchange in April, that accelerated the use of cash for our balance sheet strengthening a little bit faster than probably what we planned in January. But I'd say this year, we expected to use a little over $100 million in investing in R&D. We remain on track with that as it relates to how much cash we've put in our stock buyback program, as well as the convertible debt exchanges, we're approaching $80 million so far this year and would expect to continue to buy back shares as opportunities exist. And as we think forward, it's probably not going to continue at that same accelerated pace on the capital side. We'll also be mindful of how we are able to partner any of our R&D programs to continue to try to find non-dilutive sources of cash to fund those programs and accelerate those like we did with our relationships with BARDA. So hopefully, that helps.

It does. Can I just ask maybe just a slight clarifying question? The stock obviously is, in my opinion, hasn't reacted much to sort of some of the improvements that you guys are making. It seems like you're on the path to making, particularly in the lab business. And I'm just curious, does that create, I guess, any extra urgency in terms of sort of completing the common share repurchase?

Yes. I mean I think the Board has authorized us to go up to that $200 million. So, we have about $142 million or $141.5 million left to deploy. And I don't think we will be shy about using it as the balance sheet allows.

This concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Dr. Frost for any closing remarks.

Thank you. Thank you all for your good questions and for participating in general. I'll close by observing that many of the things that we have talked about at previous meetings have really come to fruition. We have emphasized in the past the use of our assets in such a way that will be beneficial for the company and the shareholders. The disposition of the two parts of BioReference so far are good examples of that. The remaining part is certainly becoming a more valuable asset, which we're very happy about. As far as the expenditures are concerned, which are major for us, they're largely for R&D, and we consider those, as Adam mentioned, investments. We consider them to be interesting and good investments in the sense that many of the projects are quite novel. They're on the high-risk side, I would say. And so, we can't guarantee anything. But we also believe that the potential returns for these projects are significant. It's for that reason that we feel good about what we're doing. So, I'll leave you with those thoughts. Again, thank you once again and look forward to being with you again a quarter from now.

The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
