New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 62% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Jan 15

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: UK£630k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Recent Insider Transactions • May 18

Diaceutics PLC Launches Enhanced Rare-Disease Offering Diaceutics PLC announced a significant enhancement to its offering which has facilitated a new rare-disease contract win. Access to this new data will revolutionise the early identification of patients, a crucial growth area for pharma companies developing therapies for rare-diseases. Leveraging data utilisation, it will improve earlier patient diagnosis and ultimately, clinical outcomes. Driving this enhancement are 3 key developments within the Diaceutics business as follows: Onboarding of New Data Partners:A number of new rare-disease genomic lab data partners have joined the DXRX network. These partners specialise in genetic testing, including the recognised testing lab in the United States for genetically acquired rare diseases. Advanced Lab Labelling Natural Language Processing (NLP):Diaceutics has updated its advanced lab labelling NLP process to standardise and add value to the new data. This process enables complex labelling such as pathogenic vs Variants of Unknown Significance (VUS) variant calling which until now has proven challenging for the industry to identify. Access to Additional Industry Experts:The company now has a team of industry experts with deep rare-disease experience to support biopharma business opportunities and ensure clients derive maximum value from Diaceutics' deep-data offering. Despite medical and scientific advances, diagnosing rare diseases remains a significant challenge for biopharma companies. Many patients face years of multiple referrals, inconclusive test results and limited treatment benefits. Early diagnosis and quick interventions are crucial for patient survival and quality of life. A precision medicine approach can end these diagnostic odysseys and open opportunities for better clinical outcomes for patients in need. The strategic enhancements announced will enable Diaceutics to identify more patients earlier and in doing so, help pharma customers to better commercialise gene therapies for rare diseases. Leveraging these business enhancements, Diaceutics has already secured a new contract to provide a multi-product solution to support the commercialisation of a therapy in a rare autosomal-recessive disease. This initial contract win demonstrates Diaceutics' ability to meet the complex needs of this market. Announcement • Aug 19

This partnership represents Diaceutics' seventh enterprise-wide engagement, and the first PMx primary promotional partnership deal whereby Diaceutics' fee structure is aligned with patient recruitment onto therapy. PMx unlocks new revenue streams for Diaceutics and shows the path to considerable increase in revenue per brand. Terms of the Agreement: Under the terms of the agreement, Diaceutics will leverage its DxRx platform, specifically its best-in-class genomic lab data, lab network, omni-channel, digital and peer to peer physician education to enable drug commercialisation. Diaceutics' partner will retain all rights to the license for the drug. This agreement is to deploy PMx through to the end of 2025 and is worth at least £2.4 million in service revenue to Diaceutics, with additional milestone fees estimated to be worth another £1.9 million payable during that period based on successful patient recruitment onto therapy.
