- Senior leadership departures, layoffs, city exits, warehouse closures or reductions in marketing spend.
- Strategic investment, acquisition discussions, sale of diagnostics assets or creditor-led governance changes.
- Prioritize cash-generative prescription, diagnostics and B2B channels over customer-acquisition-led growth.
- Seek debt refinancing, maturity extensions, equity support or asset monetization to address near-term liquidity concerns.
- Rationalize delivery zones, discounts, inventory commitments and non-core operating costs.
