We note from page F-41 that your CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on "the measures of revenues, cost of revenue and gross profit by central laboratory business, in-hospital business and pharma research and development services." Please provide a more robust analysis of gross profit by segment for the periods presented as required by Item 303(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K, especially considering that, for 2021 for example, gross profit increased 16.0% while gross margin decreased 1.3%.

Please clarify what these parenthetical amounts represent, e.g., an expense instead of revenue. Explain how, if at all, net recognition of these services as described on page F-30 has resulted in these negative amounts.
