Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We believe these innovations increase the value our customers generate from our solution and help drive demand
We are very pleased with the progress we made this year, including raising our annual guidance every quarter and improving our visibility and profitability
The more revenue for software, you see the better gross margin
But overall, as you can see, the trend is very positive
And for that reason, for this reason, we were able, first of all, to be ahead of our expectations in Q3, but also improve visibility and increase - give guidance or raise guidance for Q4 and for the year
We are pleased with our continuing improvement in our performance over the last two quarters
In Q3, revenue, gross margin, operating income and adjusted EBITDA came in ahead of our expectations
We were able to deliver already for customers from previous deals we had and in Q3, actually, what we saw is that we are able to win deals that both were competitive wins
Non-GAAP gross margin came in at 70.2% and gross profit grew faster than revenue, and we delivered positive operating income ahead of our expectations
During the quarter, we continue to win deals with both new and existing customers, recognize the strength of our innovative technology and its ability to deliver to them high value
We believe that given the strength of our solution and the technology advantage that we bring to the table, we can get gross margin on the right direction and continue with this trend over time
The traction is very good with customers and we feel good about the growth opportunity
So we have a strong global customer base
The demand drivers are strong and solid, which means, first of all, the bad actors are more sophisticated
But in general, we do see strong renewals and a positive trend across the execution
So overall, if you look at the KPI that we are looking on the day-to-day, we're seeing a positive trend
The combination of our cutting-edge technology, large and lower customer base and the opportunity to address the needs of existing and new customers position us well profitable growth
We believe we won because of our high value we deliver and track record of strong execution
We continue to add capabilities and improve the performance of our solution by leveraging the latest technologies, including emerging innovations in artificial intelligence
To summarize, we believe we are a market leader in investigative analytics and they have a strong and lengthy track record with customers around the world
We believe that the combination of positive industry trend our loyal and global customer base, together with our innovative technology and our LC backlog positions us well for growth and improved profitability
Both deals are competitive, and we believe we won because of our superior technology and the high value our solutions deliver
During the conference, we had good customer traction and many productive conversations
We believe that our cutting-edge solutions and deep domain expertise drive our leadership position and help us to continue to win significant deals from both existing and new customers
Given our strong performance in Q3 and our expectation for Q4, we now expect to have positive adjusted EBITDA of about $8 million for the full year at the midpoint of the revenue range an increase of about $6 million versus our previous outlook
We're increasing our full year non-GAAP gross margin expectation to 69%, an improvement of 100 basis points versus our previous outlook and year-over-year improvement of 620 basis points on an SAS adjusted non-GAAP basis
And for that reason, we believe that we can continue and growing top line and with margin expansion going forward
In our view, this healthy backlog, combined with our continuing solid results allow us to increase our outlook for the current year for the fourth consecutive quarter
Our long charter RPO continued to be strong
We believe that we should see more growth and margin expansion over time
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
To summarize, our customers continue to face significant and growing challenges across many use cases and look to us for solutions that help them accelerate investigations, make decisions faster through decision intelligence and mitigate a variety of threats
Our hearts go out to those affected by a horrible attack in Israel and its consequences
Q4 non-GAAP EPS is expected to be loss versus a gain in Q3 as a result of fluctuation in our non-GAAP tax expenses
So from a KPI perspective, there was no - I would say, there was not any indicator that show us that something goes to the wrong direction
The reason for that is that the demand drivers, as I mentioned before, which is the bad actors that are becoming more sophisticated, the data volumes that are growing and customers have to scale up their solutions, and also the fact that it's more difficult to uncover hidden insights and actually prevent threats before they unfold is becoming more and more complicated
We had to adjust some - to make some product adjustments
