OVERVIEW OF COMPANYS PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR 2024-25

Performance in Molecular Diagnostics

The Indian molecular diagnostics market continues to witness robust growth, driven by multiple factors. The increasing burden of infectious diseases, cancer, and genetic disorders is driving the demand for advanced and precise diagnostic solutions. Technological advancements in molecular platforms such as real-time PCR, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and digital PCR have significantly enhanced the accuracy, speed, and reliability of diagnostic testing.

The rising adoption of companion diagnostics is also playing a pivotal role by enabling personalized treatment strategies based on a patients genetic profile. Furthermore, growing investments in healthcare infrastructure both from government initiatives and private sector engagement are accelerating the development and accessibility of molecular diagnostics across the country. Government initiatives such as Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), the National Health Mission (NHM), and the "Make in India" initiative have further strengthened diagnostic capabilities and expanded reach, particularly in underserved regions.

Additionally, increasing awareness among healthcare professionals and patients regarding the benefits of molecular diagnostics, including early detection and tailored therapies, continues to support the markets expansion and long-term potential. Over the past three fiscal years, our diagnostics business has demonstrated consistent and robust growth. This upward trajectory is reflected in a strong CAGR of approximately 29.17%, highlighting the growing market acceptance and operational excellence driving our performance.

The consolidated sales for diagnostic business have grown to 8,428.50 Lakh in the FY 2024-25 from 6,085.20 Lakh in the FY 2023-24 as shown in the above graph.

International Business / Exports

TRUPCR? assays have achieved widespread recognition and acceptance in over 70 countries, covering key regions including the UK, Europe, the Middle East, APAC, LATAM, and North America (inclusive of the United States and Canada). Building on this momentum, we are now strategically expanding into the African market through collaborations with new channel partners.

Our participation in international tenders both directly and via distribution partners has led to the award of annual rate contracts in several countries across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe. These contracts solidify our presence and contribute significantly to our global business value. Simultaneously, we are engaged in high-level discussions with leading international distributors.

We are also focused on penetrating untapped markets especially South-East Asia and Africa through strategic marketing initiatives, which are projected to deliver measurable outcomes in the coming financial year. Our growing traction in the Middle East reflected in a steady increase in orders from key countries validates the effectiveness of our market strategies and highlights the strong demand for our solutions.

Notably, our export business has shown a robust growth of over 97% (excluding COVID-related sales) compared to the previous fiscal year. This remarkable increase is attributed to higher order volumes from our UK subsidiary and a surge in international demand strengthened by newly awarded contracts and successful validations of our assays in key global accounts. These achievements emphasize the high quality and reliability of our products and the technical excellence we consistently deliver to our global customers. Even with high competition across markets, we are strategically positioned for a growth of 20-25% in the international business in the FY 2025-26. We aim to leverage our established strengths, capitalize on new opportunities to sustain our upward trajectory in the coming fiscal year.

PRESENCE OF THE COMPANY IN EVENTS & CONFERENCES

This was previously disclosed in the business update dated 10^th January 2024.

Despite this, the division continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to government procurement, primarily through participation in electronic tenders via platforms such as GeM.

The agrochemicals business remains virtually debt-free, in line with previous projections, and maintains overall sales stability. Concurrently, the company is accelerating initiatives to build stronger brand visibility across its product lines in micro fertilizers, bio fertilizers, and public health segments.

PERFORMANCE OF THE UK SUBSIDIARY

Our UK subsidiary, TRUPCR? Europe Limited (TPE), has become a strategic growth contributor, gaining significant traction across Europe with its "Made in UK" product portfolio. The Manchester facility integrating sales, marketing, technical support, and R&D has enabled proactive response and efficient service delivery.

? TRURAPID^? RESIST CTX-M Rapid Test (For Resistance in Cephalosporins)

NEXT-GEN SEQUENCING (NGS) VERTICAL

We have started getting some traction for the TRUNGS? assays from the customers however, it is very low. The NGS market is at a very nascent stage and is dominated by Whole Genome Sequencing, Whole Exome Sequencing, NIPT etc. TRUNGS? is focussed on very niche products in this segment, hence, it will be difficult to quantify and forecast the benefits at this point.

With the TRUNGS? vertical, we are keeping ourselves technologically viable so that we can offer all the molecular diagnostics solutions to our customers under one roof.

We had launched the "TRUNGSR Solid Tumor Panel" for detection genes associated with solid tumors such as lung, gastro-intestinal/colorectal, breast, liver and ovarian tumors.

Now, after extensive R&D efforts we will be launching below products commercially:

? PAN-MYELOID NGS Panel A comprehensive NGS solution for detection of variants in 65 genes in myeloid malignancies.

? BRCA Plus Kit For detection of germline / somatic mutations associated with breast, ovarian and prostate cancers.

? Endometrial Cancer Panel Kit For detection of mutations in certain genes associated with diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer as per WHO guidelines.

DIGITAL PCR (NEW R&D)

Our Research and Development (R&D) team is committed to the ongoing development of innovative products leveraging cutting-edge technologies. Through our dedication to scientific advancement and technological innovation, we strive to address emerging challenges and meet the evolving needs of our customers and stakeholders.

Through our relentless pursuit of excellence, we endeavor to bring to market new products that not only meet but exceed industry standards for quality, performance, and reliability.

Continuing our journey for R&D, our team has been working on the development of assays based on Digital PCR (dPCR) technology which enables absolute quantification of target nucleic acids. We are hopeful that the products under this segment will be available for commercial launch by Q2 / Q3 of FY 2025-26.

By leveraging the capabilities of dPCR technology, our R&D team has the opportunity to develop innovative assays that address key challenges in healthcare & biotechnology. This could lead to the development of valuable diagnostic tools with significant impact on disease detection, treatment monitoring, and research advancements.

PUBLIC DEPOSITS

The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public during the year under review. No amount on account of principal or interest on deposits from the public was outstanding as on 31^st March 2025.

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

During the last 2 years, we have evaluated several companies in the IVD space, however, the valuations were high due to demand from diagnostic companies based on Covid profits Also, the Sales EBITDA were not matching our IRR or future growth possibility, hence we did not proceed.

However, now with acquisition of Coris BioConcept SRL, Belgium, we have been able to do the first acquisition after a long search negotiation We will continue to do more acquisitions to best utilize the available funds. We will also be deploying some funds in the joint venture created in Manchester, UK depending on the need.

Acquisition of 100% Stake in Coris Holding SRL, Belgium

The company 3B along with its UK subsidiary TPE is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Avacta Group Plc, London to acquire all the shares of Coris Holding SRL, the parent company of Coris Bioconcept SRL ("Coris"), a 30 years old manufacturer of Rapid Diagnostic Solutions for an upfront cash consideration of ?2.15 Million (including net cash & customary working capital adjustments) with an earn-out based on future business performance of up to ?0.615 Million payable (the "Acquisition") totaling to ?2.765 Million.

Financials of Coris:

According to the latest unaudited financial results shared by Coris, the company reported unaudited revenue of 5.22 Million for the financial year ended 31^st December 2024 ("FY24"), primarily driven by sales from non-COVID products. The company achieved a gross margin of approximately 58.7%. However, Coris recorded a negative EBITDA of 0.215 Million its net assets stood at 4.14 Million.

With efforts to launch new products, enter new territories and introduce better cost management, we expect to be EBITDA positive in FY 2026-27 as these efforts will take some time to materialize.

Product Portfolio:

Coris product portfolio comprises in vitro diagnostic test kits for AntiMicrobial Resistance (AMR), respiratory, gastroenteric and blood-borne pathogens (bacteria, viruses and parasites), however, it is primarily focused on the antibiotic resistance markers. As part of this portfolio, the company offers a range of rapid lateral flow tests (LFT) designed to support early & accurate diagnosis at the point of care. Coris also offers an LFT -‘HAT

Sero K-SeT for detecting antibodies specific to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (a parasite that causes Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as African sleeping sickness), a product that holds global monopoly.

Quality Certifications:

Coris is ISO 13485 certified, ensuring the highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance across its operations.

Team & Facility:

Coris employs a dedicated team of 33 professionals across key functions including R&D, Production, Sales, Marketing, Quality Control, Regulatory Affairs, & Administration. The company operates from a new 2,000 m? facility in Gembloux, Belgium, which houses its R&D and production units, corporate offices, and warehouse.

Acquisition of Coris BioConcept SRL is a strategically thought move that strengthens our position in the IVD segment and our fight against AMR. The product portfolio of Coris complements our existing molecular diagnostics product range.

By combining our expertise in the PCR-based solutions and with Coris innovation in rapid testing, the company is accelerating its vision of faster, accessible, and more accurate diagnostics worldwide.

Product Market and Customer / Distributor Expansion:

Since the customers / end-users are similar and overlapping, we will try to push each others products in the markets where there are visible gaps. So PCR Kits will be pushed in the Coriss distributor / customer network and Rapid AMR will be pushed in the 3B / TPEs distributor / customer network.

Joint R&D Efforts:

Since both the companies have got well established R&D, so we will try to do collaborative R&D efforts in both PCR and Rapid Diagnostics segments.
