'While our software segment has remained relatively resilient, given its role as critical infrastructure in drug development programs, demand for services has proven more sensitive to market volatility and is coming in below our expectations. 'To better position the Company for long-term alignment with our clients, we recently announced a strategic reorganization—transitioning from a business unit structure to a functionally driven operating model. We also made key leadership appointments to enhance client engagement and elevate our sales and marketing capabilities. 'These actions mark the final phase of a multi-year transformation aimed at streamlining operations, unlocking synergies across teams, and concentrating our resources on the most promising growth opportunities. We believe the new organizational structure will also foster greater collaboration through centralized product and technology development, contributing to accelerated delivery of software enhancements, platform integration, and AI advancements.
