Key moments

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

“Total revenue of $224 million for the quarter was aligned with our internal expectations, reflecting steady demand across our core business segments. Adjusted EBITDA and margins came in ahead of our internal expectations, driven primarily by better-than-expected New York City camera installations despite weather delays in January and February, as well as reduced bad debt expense for the quarter.” David Roberts, CEO
“a significant customer relationship which represents over 10% of our revenue is currently operating under a short-term contract extension. This contract extension enables us to continue to serve the customer without interruption while we continue to negotiate a long-term renewal. These discussions are ongoing and constructive.” David Roberts, CEO
