| We have a large and strong loyal customer base, including many Fortune 100 and 500 ones that have been partnered with OMNIQ for 20 years |
| But actually, once that not only remained strong, but grow and that's how we were -- during COVID years, we were able to show growth in revenue at the end |

| Thank you, Richard, I appreciate your support |
| To start, I'd like to thank each one of our employees across our entire company for their continued hard work and dedication to our vision and strategic plan |
| We see actually increased demand, which is very similar to what happened in COVID during COVID years , where there were some industries dropped |
| As we discussed, that was done by -- mainly by the employee cuts that we've started, which, of course, we were able to do due to the fact that these employees were more related to product stabilization now that we are deployed in thousands of locations and the product is more stable |
| During the quarter, we made several significant announcements including, we received a purchase order from the Israel train company to deploy our AI-based machine vision system creating smarter and safer stations |
| I especially want to thank our Israeli employees, who are working hard despite the difficulties |
| And that's how we were able to create these cuts immediate cuts, which already started showing effect in Q2, continuing in Q3 |

| Specifically, the revenue drop came from our US IoT operations, selling to many of the world's largest companies, our Fortune 100 and 500 customers, who were affected by the drop in consumer spending |
| We had a drop in revenue, which was mainly attributed to the macro economy situation affecting mainly consumer spending |
| And I also saw the Libra [ph] results, and realized that they had a weak quarter as well |
| These were two difficult quarters in that sense |
| OMNIQ reported revenue of $17.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 35% from $27 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| OMNIQ reported revenue of $65.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 15% from $77.5 million in the first nine months of 2022 |
| While we remain confident in our mid- and long-term success, the opportunities ahead, the third quarter results of $17.5 million, representing a 35% decrease from Q3 2022 were negatively impacted by a delay in receiving large purchase orders for projects that we have already been awarded |
| Can you please explain if the war has an impact on the company's results? Shai Lustgarten So we did naturally have as it started, we saw kind of delay in order intake, but that was natural, of course, because the businesses were adjusting to the new reality to the new situation |
| Total operating expenses for the quarter was $6.6 million, a decrease of 23% from $8.6 million in the same period of last year |
| Net loss for the quarter was $4.3 million or a loss of $0.55 per basic share compared with a loss of $3.8 million or a loss of €0.52 million per basic share for the third quarter of last year |
| Adjusted EBITDA, meaning adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the third quarter of 2023 amounted to a loss of €1.5 million compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $516,000 for the third quarter of 2022 |
| Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $11.7 million or a loss of $1.50 per basic share compared with a loss of $9.6 million or a loss of $1.29 per basic share for the first nine months of last year |
| Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $20.8 million compared to $24.2 million for the same period of 2022, a decrease of 14% |
| I've also noticed you exercised warrants in the company from $4, I've noticed, down to like $1.20 $1.40 I think it was |
| We have also taken and continue to take additional cost-cutting measures, and this is something that we started already since January of 2023 and also our number of employees decreased from 216 to 181 today, a total decrease of 35 employees, which is part of the cost cuts plant |
| Appreciate the concern |
| We do have, of course, and work with many other vendors, but the results you saw them dropping similar percentages to what we sell and others in the IoT space in the US, that is something that everyone saw and felt |
| We announced the termination of the definitive agreement to acquire Tadiran Telecom |
| The cancellation was due to ind not being satisfied with the covenant that were not met at the closing date |
| So, we are not -- we are affected, but we're not worried about it |
