Q & A Highlights
Q: Given the midpoint of your 2024 guidance of $14 million, it seems to imply a flat or slightly negative sequential step down from Q3 to Q4. Can you talk about your assumptions surrounding this? A: (David Horn, CFO) The guidance reflects timing issues with our pipeline opportunities. If deals close favorably, we could hit the high end of the range, but delays could affect outcomes. We continue to see budget pressures and are not forecasting a budget flush for Q4, which may seem conservative but reflects our current position.
