| But so far things are going really well and we're very pleased with the company we bought |
| Operational excellence at our companies, while strategically deploying the excess cash flows, they generate to grow our portfolio of wonderful businesses |
| Also, during the year, we repurchased a substantial amount of our warrants in common stock, and we completed the repurchase of a substantial portion of our subordinated debt that resulted in a much more simplified and stronger balance sheet |
| Since our acquisition, Ravix has performed very well ahead of our original underwriting thesis |
| The M&A environment is more favorable than it was 12 months ago, and we continue to believe this will translate into the completion of two to three deals over the next year |
| I fundamentally believe in the power of de-centralization both in the ability to attract and more importantly, retain really great people, and Drew, absolutely believes that he has the ability to grow that organically |
| We continue to believe that the future is extremely bright for our search accelerator platform given the talent we have on our team, the quality of the opportunities they are pursuing, and the rigorous framework through which we evaluate acquisition candidates |
| And then we install really great leadership to unlock that latent growth that often is there, certainly what we're targeting |
| And all of those businesses have done a really nice job in spite of some of the revenue headwinds, adding new distribution partners, new distribution channels increasing the activity with existing customers getting higher conversion and attachment rates |
| And so that's the dynamic he's balancing, but I think that he's got a really nice growth runway ahead of him |
| Thankfully, these backlogs are starting to free up, and the Trinity team has also done a nice job adding new distribution partners over the past 12 months to offset these challenges, we expect positive momentum in 2024 |
| Peter is very busy creating the internal processes, structure and team to be able to support really wonderful opportunity to grow, but do it in a very thoughtful way so that we most importantly ensure a very high-quality level of service and quality of care for the patients that we're monitoring |
| We have seen significant positive progress thus far in 2024 and expect a better year ahead |
| Within the segment, Ravix performed better-than-expected from a profitability perspective, especially in Q4 as higher operating margins more than offset lower-than-expected revenues |
| We remain encouraged by the quality of our pipeline and hold a high degree of confidence in our ORs |
| The team has bolstered its pipeline and is advancing new business opportunities to reignite growth |
| This demographic silver tsunami of opportunities to buy great businesses, combined with our pipeline of talent and the cash flow to redeploy, I think creates a really nice flywheel that will give us a very long and wide runway |
| For SNS, the per diem business is performing quite well, partially offsetting an industry-wide decline in the use of travel nurses, which are typically billable at a higher margin |
| Drew's thesis is that, there is ample opportunity to grow this company organically through new customer acquisition in its existing market segment |
| The team has done a nice job of building a tech-enabled platform to support its anticipated growth |
| Importantly, we believe long-term demand for nurse staffing will be strong with the projected persistent shortage of registered nurses over the next decade |
| Our goal is to deliver sustainable long-term growth in cash flow from operations and provide an excellent return to our shareholders |
| I think that you heard in my prepared remarks that, we feel pretty good about where we stand today, certainly vis-a-vis with several months ago and there are nice things happening |
| We have shed most of the remaining non-core assets and we're able to repurchase a meaningful amount of our securities, all of which we believe will provide more flexibility in pursuing our strategic objectives |
| It was the fourth acquisition completed under our Search Xclerator and a great fit to our portfolio with contractual recurring revenue, low customer churn, strong margins and low capital demands |
| DDI is the industry standard bearer for outsourced cardiac monitoring in the long-term acute care and rehab hospital space and has established itself as a trusted partner to its customers through its focus on dependable, high-quality service |
| DDI has demonstrated an opportunity to grow at a very fast clip with revenues growing in excess of 30% year over year in our first few months of ownership |
| Equally important, over the course of the year, we built a firm foundation to advance our strategy of growth through acquisitions and are really energized by the opportunities ahead of us |
| And he's done a nice job of continuing to grow that per diem business |
| Peter's background -- he is going to do a great job |

| Equipment warranty sales were negatively impacted by softer demand and long lead times on equipment availability and installations with some equipment lead times approaching as much as a year |
| We had some technical difficulties with our service provider and then a fairly large queue to get those things out |
| At Trinity, maintenance support business revenues were negatively impacted by decreases in its equipment breakdown and maintenance support services due to both smaller, average job sizes and generally mild weather condition, which resulted in fewer service calls |
| Throughout most of the year, as we discussed on the quarterly earnings calls, our Vehicle Service Agreement or VSA companies were impacted by an increase in average claims expense or severity and persistent macro level revenue headwinds that impact consumers primarily tighter credit conditions and high used car prices |
| JT Fitzgerald Look, 2023 was a tough year in the warranty businesses from a revenue standpoint and on the claim severity claim severity seems to have receded a bit |
| CSuite experienced fewer interim engagements and inconsistent search placements amidst the challenging private equity and M&A environment |
| Each one of these small companies also has some risk, often there's customer concentration or something like that |
| I know that the earnings release just dropped |
| It does say, due to the shortage of nursing staff available -- how does the demand for nurses how does the demand for nurses that benefits SNS compare with the challenge SNS faces in hiring travel nurses? JT Fitzgerald I would say, the demand challenge in 2023 was sort of a post pandemic hangover -- during the pandemic hospital systems had to be very reliant on contingent labor, which is obviously a lot more expensive, and they pushed back very hard to eliminate contingent labor in those hospitals maybe overly so |
| And that impacted the, in the near term, the demand for travel nurses for SNS, they have contracts with several 70 or so hospitals in the state of California, and there is demand that is unmet |
| For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, please see the risk factors detailed in the company's annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks filed with Securities and Exchange Commission |
