Data Security in Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare: Analysis of necessary Web Ap...PavanPardeshi1
This research was carried out to determine the importance of application security testing tools being used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries and to invent a new idea to reduce the risk of data loss. Hence, the results shows that the use of more than one tool is time consuming and integration of SAST, DAST, IAST and RASP by taking cost efficiency and system compatibility into consideration can make a difference in these industries. Moreover, it has been observed that the application security testing tools are not fully reliable. To reduce the risk of data loss, integration of the two or more tools can be developed on the basis of SAST, DAST IAST and RASP based tools. Cost efficiency, lack of resources and, system compatibility should be taken into consideration while developing the tools. Policies improvement and trainings for staff members regarding tools can reduce human errors to avoid data breach.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Capital Turnover 1.10 1.07 1.13 1.25 1.19
TABLE 1SUMMERY OF TRISTEL PLC FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (2014-2018)
1.1 GROSS MARGIN
Gross profit margin has rapidly increased from 69.81% 2016 to 77.32% in 2018 due to the
growth of revenue as well as the profitable overseas operations. (Tristel PLC, 2016) Due to
overseas sales growth rate, the overall revenue of the company significantly increased. Hence,
it resulted into the increase in gross margin from year 2016 till 2018. (ibid)
1.2 OPERATING PROFIT
The operating profit increased from 13.5% 2014 to 19.25% 2017 and the ratio slightly decreased
in 2018 (17.91%). Tristel generating high revenue because of their products worldwide as they
achieved 25 overseas regulatory body approvals in 7 countries during this year. Tristel acquired
the business of Australian distributors which was the main factor behind the rapid growth of

was 14.80%, on the other hand in 2018 this count has increased to 21.36%.
1.4 ROE (RETURN ON EQUITY)
The ratio ROE calculates the net sales by the shareholders equity. The graph of ROE increased
from 10.53% in 2014 to 21.27% in 2017 and this is because of the previous discussion of overseas
investment as well as positive profit contribution by acquisition on Australia since few years.
Tristel invested more for the future business plans of entering into the North American market

COMPARISON OF COMPETITOR ON PROFITABILITY RATIO
Abcam PLC is one of the competitors of the Tristel PLC in the health care market worldwide.
Abcam is the leading provider of life science research tools and high-quality reagents in the
critical biological pathway. (Abcam PLC, 2019) However, the gross margin of the Tristel PLC is
higher than the Abcam PLC as per the records of last five years.
TABLE 2 GROSS PROFIT PERCENTAGE OF TRISTEL VS ABCAM
Here, initially the gross margin of Abcam was very high due to their product service worldwide
in around 130+ countries. The reason behind the low rate of gross margin is increase in the cost
of sales of Abcam products, even though the revenue goes on increasing the gross margin is
lower than the Tristel PLC. (Abcam PLC, 2019)

3. EFFICIENCY RATIO
Another important factor during financial analysis of a company is efficiency ratio, which
calculates how the assets are used to trigger the profit. For the analysis of efficiency ratio there
are three ratios to consider which are net receivable days, net payable days and inventory days.
TABLE 7 NET RECEIVABLE VS NET PAYABLE DAYS
In consonance with the graph, Tristel PLC’s Net receivable days has been continuously less than
the net payable days.
It has been observed that the net payable days have decreased to 74.12 in 2015 and the
significant rise in the same can be seen till 126.59 days in 2018. Also, the receivable days are
oscillating from 57.91 days to 58.31 days during 2014 to 2018. The Inventory days are also
varying withinlast 5 years, which are increased from 57.91 days to 63.06 days and again
revamped to 58.31 days towards the end of the year 2018 which resulted into being more
efficient in converting Tristel’s inventories into revenue.

TABLE 10 INVENTORY DAYS OF TRISTEL VS ABCAM
According to the comparison ratios, Tristel PLC became more efficient throughout the last five
year as the net receivable days and payable days are very low than that of the Abcam PLC.
Although the inventory days are more than the Abcam PLC, Tristel PLC has improved in recent
years from 185.19 to 165.05 in 2018. This explains that the more money is tied in inventory
which is not good for further investments because less free funds are available.

TABLE 14 D/E COMPARISON ACCORDING TO INDUSTRIAL NORMS (CSI MARKET,2019)
In the comparison of Abcam, Tristel PLC’s gearing and debt to equity ratio is very low as the
company don’t have debt and no solvency issue. Also as compared to Abcam PLC, Tristel’s D/E
ratio is very low which near about the average industrial norms. This is mainly because the well-
planned future opportunities and worldwide growth as well as liquidation of inventories into
revenue. Tristel PLC’s gearing and D/E ratio varies around 1%, however Abcam PLC’s ratios are
way more than 10%. The acquisition of Ecomed Group given Tristel a new way to explore the
Belgium, the Netherland and France market in late 2017. Due to this the company started

TABLE 17 EPS OF TRISTEL VS ABCAM
According to the graph the EPS and P/E ratio of Abcam PLC has high values than the Tristel PLC.
Even though Tristel’s P/E ratio was low in 2014, it has been increased rapidly up to 41.99 in
2018. However, the earnings per share has been observed that the value is slightly increased
from 3.25 in 2014 to 7.62 in 2018. Investors are paying extra on every dollar of Tristel’s
earnings. (st, Simply wall st, 2018)
6 INITIATIVES FOR FUTURE PROBABILITIES
If we look at the whole analysis it is observed that the Tristel PLC is lacking behind in terms of
operating profit. If the organization’s operating profit is more then the company would have
outperformed the overall market. It then affects the revenue and once the revenue increase,
the stock price and EPS as well P/E also get affected. Small independent business must have
higher gross margin in order to cover their costs. (MURPHY, 2019)
Tristel’s operating profit margin is significantly low since last five years, but its more than 10%
across. Therefore, it can be concluded that the company is spending more on managing its costs
to increase profit. However, as compared to other industries, the overall operating profit
margin is low since last 5 years but still they are generating the revenue very efficiently.
(MURPHY, 2019)
To increase the overall operating profit margin of Tristel, it is necessary to reduce the cost of
goods sold. That means the lower costs and cost saving deals can improve the ability to reduce
the expenses of an organization. Decreasing the cost of packaging will also help to reduce the
expenses which leads to save the extra cost behind every individual product. Hence, lowering
the expenses can improve the revenue and as the revenue grows, operating profit margin also
increases. (Tara, 2019)
Next factor which Tristel must take in consideration while improving the operating profit margin
is labour costs, taxes and increase efficiency. If labour costs and energy features are high, then
the related employer taxes and energy consumption cost are also additional expense for the
company. An organization can manage their costs effectively which helps to reduce large
amount of investment. Whenorganizations constantly evaluate available resources or
inventories or create incentives that move it which help to move the business revenue up in the
market. This can also be done by understanding the capacity and the total cost in fragments.

Development of the policies for relevant data collection is also the key factor to improve the
analysing capacity which leads to a business growth. (JASON WINTERS, 2019)
In conclusion, Tristel can also reduce the operating expenses in order to improve the operating
profit margin. This may be done by analysing the total operating expenses and strategic plan.
Choosing the less expensive plan wherever it may be possible to do, would help to improve the
performance of organization and reduces the extra expenses. More the reduction in the
expenses, more will be the rise in budget cost as well as revenue and accordingly the operating
profit margin can be triggered. (Tara, 2019)
7 MARKET VERDICT AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
7.1 FUTURE PROSPECTS
Since last couple of years, it has been observed on the AIM that companies share price increased
by 10%. Tristel shares seems to be around 12.9% price above the intrinsic value. This means the
Tristel share price is very reasonable relatively. Here, the companies share value is volatile
which means in future the share value must be going down. In future Tristel’s earnings will
increase according to their rate of revenue since last 5 years. Even though the share price is
low, investors prefer to buy shares as a part of good investment. The expected earnings up to
26% in future shows that the Tristel have a great future ahead, which will be leading towards
the growth of cash flow and increase in share value. (st, Simply wall st, 2019)
FIGURE 2 TRISTEL PLC PAST AND FUTURE EARNINGS 28 MARCH 2019. (AIM)
Tristel PLC’s operating cash flow is expected to be increase in future by 73% and this will be
going to effect on impressive return on equity of 21% during the upcoming years. According to
the shareholders and brokers, Tristel manage its cost very well against their short-term
16. 16
liabilities because of which it is financial stable. Hence, in future also they will be able to
manage their short-term upcoming liabilities. This has been explained by the graph shown
below. (st, simply wall st, 2019)
FIGURE 3 ANALYST GROWTH EXPECTATIONS
7.2 P/E RATIO ANALYSIS
Tristel PLC trading with the 32x P/E ratio, which is recorded very low than the average
industrial norms of 33.6x.
Tristel PLC 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
P/E Ratio 24.77 18.57 21.36 23.64 41.99
TABLE 18 P/E RATIO
The analysts examine that the P/E ratio is increasing since last five years in which the value was
24.77 in 2014 and that has been increased rapidly to 41.99 in 2018. As the PE ratio is currently
increasing, in 2017 the recorded figure was 23.64, however, in the 2018 it rose to 41.99 which is
the huge growth of PE. Because of the fluctuation in the share price from last few years. Tristel
is now trending in stock market as the share price is low but shareholders invest in it as the part
of their investments. This investment is suggested by analysts according to the P/E ratio as well
as other factors discussed above.

7.3 MARKET TO BOOK RATIO
According to the annual report 2018, the market to book value is calculated as follows:
Total assets: 22.54 m GBP
Total Liabilities: 4.12 m GBP
Book Value per shareholders’ equity: 22.54 – 4.12 = 18.42 (Bloomberg, 2019)
Market Value = outstanding shares * current share price
= 44.46 * 286.00
= 12,751.56 m GBP
Market to book ratio which is also known as price to book ratio and used to examine the
