Sensus Healthcare Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• A significant portion of the company's current revenue growth is tied to a single large customer, representing about 50% of placements. This dependency could pose a risk to future revenues if the relationship changes or customer needs shift.
  
• The development and approval of the transdermal infusion product (TDI) is still ongoing, with the company planning to submit a 510(k) application to the FDA. Delays or issues in regulatory approval could affect future revenue and earnings.
  
• The hospital market, a target for Sensus' expansion, typically has a longer sales cycle. Delayed sales or slower-than-expected adoption in this market could negatively impact future earnings and revenue growth.
  
• The Fair Deal agreements do not provide immediate revenue like outright sales but instead offer recurring revenue models. This could result in less predictable and slower revenue recognition compared to traditional sales, impacting net margins.
  
• International expansion plans may face obstacles due to reliance on distributors and potential regulatory and market access issues in new territories. These factors could slow down revenue generation and affect international market earnings.
