Grounding quotes
  • “This is a very exciting chapter for Insego and an important step in the company's transformation to diversify revenue and at scale.”
  • “It is the largest revenue deal in the company's history, and it's one that we structured very thoughtfully to meaningfully de-risk the profile of the transaction.”
  • “Q1 played out largely as we expected and in line with what we discussed on our Q4 call.”
  • “the additional delay with the third one will impact our Q2 outlook. As it won't launch until late June, it therefore won't benefit most of the quarter.”

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“We are acquiring Nokia's approximately $200 million revenue run-rate FWA business. That more than doubles our revenue base, gives us immediate global scale in revenue and reach and positions Inseego as one of the leading global players in FWA with what we believe is the broadest platform in the industry across mobile, fixed, enterprise and consumer connectivity.” Juho Sarvikas, CEO
“Q1 revenue grew 8% year-over-year to $34.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.8 million, and both revenue and adjusted EBITDA were within our guidance.” Juho Sarvikas, CEO
