Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter were $41 million compared to $36.8 million for the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher personnel costs and higher sales-related travel expenses. Increases in personnel costs reflect a higher headcount driven by Salesforce expansion, as well as merit and annual inflationary wage adjustment for existing employees. Higher sales-related travel expenses reflect increased field activity to support growing test report volumes.

So part of our expectation here is to kind of watch and see how this most recent increase in territory size matures during the second quarter and then probably make additional expansion opportunities third and fourth quarter as we sort of see the relationships building among our expanded territories with the current customers and new customers so we don't expand too fast to go ahead and cause more disruption but expand at the right rate. And at the end of the day, I guess we should come back here is We aren't quite sure if in the 60 range is where we should be sitting, and part of that's looking at promotional responsiveness and territory sizes and travel time, but probably somewhere between 60s to 80s feels about right at full maturity.
