Answer – No explicit guidance on R&D, margin‑expansion, or cost‑control was disclosed in the QI GEN Q2 2025 earnings release that you provided.

What the press release says (as per the excerpt)	What is (not) disclosed
Financial performance:  Q2 2025 net sales = $534 million (up 7% YoY; 6% CER). The company beat its own outlook of ≥ 5% CER growth, raised its full‑year 2025 net‑sales‑growth outlook, and reaffirmed the adjusted diluted‑EPS target that had been lifted earlier in the year.	R&D spend: No figure or forward‑looking guidance on research‑and‑development spend (absolute amount, percentage of sales, or year‑over‑year change).
	Margin‑expansion: No specific statement on gross‑margin, operating‑margin, or EBITDA‑margin targets, nor any quantified “margin‑expansion” initiatives.
	Cost‑control initiatives: No mention of cost‑reduction programs, SG&A‑efficiency initiatives, or other cost‑control measures.
What is implied: The company is focusing on “solid growth and improved profitability,” but the brief excerpt does not contain concrete guidance on the three areas you asked about.
