| And the second is that the results that people are seeing in the pilots, and these pilots are obviously trials, right, they're not production levels at scale, they're limited production trials; people seem to be very happy with the solution results |
| In the current macro environment, we are working hard to serve and retain customers as they look to reduce their operating costs |
| A global investment management company chose eGain to modernize their knowledge management capability |

| These churn events are challenging as they are not factored in our fiscal 2024 plan |
| Their services staff was struggling to find answers in what are long, complex documents in their business, spread across many silos |
| But I think both of them are under tremendous cost pressure in their businesses that we see |
| Do you have a sense of gross margins, Q3, Q4? Eric Smit So, we'll definitely see some pressure, obviously, given the -- that reduction |
| First, looking at our LTM dollar-based SaaS, net retention from knowledge customers was 103%, while our total net retention dropped down to 94% |
| Looking at our remaining performance obligation, total RPO decreased 15% year-over-year to $77.9 million and our short-term RPO was $55.8 million, down 4% year-over-year |
| They are under cost pressure |
| But certainly, there'll be some pressure |
| Just trying to -- there's obviously going to be some volatility in results in the next couple of quarters as you kind of reset to the new revenue level |
| Is that right? Or is there some residual pressures into the September quarter as well? Thanks |
