| So we're seeing some record leads there, and we're seeing the most robust pipeline on the enterprise side in our history |
| So I think it's a good setup |
| The company is in a much stronger position today |
| We have tripled revenue and dramatically improved operating efficiency |
| Growth margins have improved to the high 70s and adjusted EBITDA margins have improved by approximately 80 points, to 17% in the fourth quarter |
| In 2023, we were able to drive these costs down, while also growing revenue and adding additional value to our customers |
| Also, the sequential growth rates should pick up and compound even higher than the high-teens as we get to the second half |
| So I said on the call, we're expecting high-teens revenue growth in the back half with strong EBITDA margins |
| We achieved growth margins of 78% and record adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million, while generating approximately $900,000 of free cash flow |
| We delivered solid ARR growth of approximately $700,000 sequentially, and we ended the year with 110,000 paying customers, the most of anyone in the digital accessibility industry |
| We are pleased we were able to achieve this milestone and expect to continue to generate positive free cash flow in 2024 |
| I'm pleased to report that we're seeing this pay off with one of the best enterprise ARR growth quarters to date |
| Our balance sheet is strong |
| As we continue to implement efficiencies, we believe gross margin has room to expand in future quarters |
| As David discussed, in the fourth quarter of 2023, we hit a significant milestone, positive free cash flow |
| In the fourth quarter of 2023, we achieved record profitability, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.3 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $200,000, or $0.01 per share in the same year-ago period |
| We continue to improve our rules engine and have made ongoing quality improvements to the test suite, incorporating advanced rules that more accurately test the compliance with current legal guidelines, further improving our industry-leading lawsuit protection |
| This is a dramatic improvement from net loss a few years ago, and as a result of both increases in revenue and efficiencies, including technological investment |
| We have record leads |
| We are entering 2024 with strong business momentum |
| In addition to continued operating margin improvement, we expect revenue growth to accelerate throughout the year |
| We have this breadth of offering, and I think that's a major competitive advantage |
| We continue to see expansion of existing customers and additional partners engaging with AudioEye, which continues to fuel growth |
| ARR grew approximately $700,000 sequentially, and as David mentioned, we expect this growth to accelerate going into 2024 |
| As David discussed, revenue again hit record levels in Q4 2023 with revenue at $7.87 million, a 2% increase from Q4 2022, and a minor increase sequentially from Q3 2023 |
| But we do think there's an opportunity to know the 11% in fiscal year and grow further in the second half of 2024 |
| In Q4 2023, with major R&D initiatives completed, we were able to gain more efficiencies in R&D |
| On a full-year basis in 2023, this channel's revenue grew 13% from $16 million of revenue in 2022 to $18 million in 2023 |
| Our operating leverage will allow us to drive future revenue growth with only moderate increases in operating expenditures |
| Today, I'll discuss a few of the accomplishments since joining AudioEye in 2019 and why we are on the strongest trajectory in our history, but first, I want to thank all of our employees for their hard work to get us here |

| On a full year basis, we also produced adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.3 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to a negative adjusted EBITDA of $900,000, or a loss of $0.08 per share in 2022 |
| Adjusted EBITDA margins were in the mid-negative 60s and revenue per employee was in the low $100,000 range |
| Last year, the Enterprise channel was impacted by a large Enterprise customer rolling up |
| It has become clear that the old way of trying to fix issues at the source does not scale and will not solve the problem |
| As we have discussed on previous earnings calls, 2023 was impacted by several contract renegotiations |
| Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $500,000, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.17 per share in the same year-ago period |
| This was down from approximately $2.4 million in Q3 2023 |
| While revenues were up 2%, operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased 16% to $6.7 million from $7.9 million in the same quarter last year |
| While AudioEye was growing off a small revenue base, operating efficiency needed to improve |
| Our approach to combining AI with human-assisted technology is the only way to solve this problem at scale |
