| Statement |
|---|
| We’re encouraged that these pipeline opportunities across commercial defense markets will go a long way to replace the low-margin media business and support growth |
| We are well positioned for future growth at OSS |
| Bressner continues to do a better job of promoting the higher-margin OSS products |
| My engagement with customers and participation in global trade shows over this past quarter reaffirmed our unique position in the robust growth markets driven by artificial intelligence and sensor fusion, particularly in rugged high-performance compute demand at the Edge |
| Our broad market activity is already increasing the number of customer engagements and requests for information and proposals bolstering our confidence in our strategy and our ability to grow a robust multiyear pipeline |
| These successes align with our strategy to broaden the number of prime and customer contracts, increase our presence on more platforms and pursue multiyear contracts that can boost our pipeline and future revenue |
| While there’s still more work to do to mature our pipeline model, we are pleased to see that we have a robust and growing set of opportunities |
| Again, gives me optimism that we’re on a good track, and we’re going to have support not only from our customers but our government also |
| The team is working to close a large competitive opportunity for design, development, production and support for a rugged computing storage system in autonomous trucking market that would expand our platform, position in the market and lead to another multiyear demand opportunity |
| I’ve successfully completed my first full quarter as CEO, and I’m pleased with the building momentum and confidence in the rugged Edge processing market |
| So I’m excited about the new normal, the pace that we’re working at here to get after growth, which I mentioned augmenting the team to continue to try to build upon that momentum |
| These efforts would broaden our customer base and provide for a multi-year hardware and software demand opportunity |
| We successfully established a new military customer, a new defense prime and a new international customer while securing a position on a new platform |
| The award from the foreign navy submarine program is special noteworthy in how it exemplifies our key objectives |
| So 3U SDS has been strong |
| Aligned with our pursuit of greater defense revenues, which many times include classified programs, I’m pleased to announce that we recently received our site facility clearance |
| As with DSEI we were able to advance existing efforts and establish new procedure opportunities with new prime and new divisions within the U.S |
| Bressner’s gross margin percentage improved 40 basis points to 22.6%, largely due to product mix, the sale of higher-margin OSS products and having sought after products readily available and sold at a premium |
| But outside of the timing of the budgets and some of the approvals, it feels like you’re gaining some really good momentum |
| We were able to leverage our Bressner team in these engagements to strengthen our channel to market for OSS products in Europe and the Middle East |
| A follow-on win in hardware buy for an additional storage system product for the P-8, a new contract with an existing defense prime contractor for a new classified platform, a commercial order and win in a dynamic racing industry encompassing our product at this newest OSS customer |
| And I was quite enthused to find the – how well our story resonated with the opportunity to bring advanced high-performance compute, artificial intelligence, machine learning to the battlefield |
| In addition to solidifying relationships with current customers, we were able to expand our engagement within countries in Asia, Europe and the Middle East |
| So from a product perspective, we’re in a good place right now |
| And I intended to just say congrats earlier, but just on the success and acceleration, it seems like you’re gaining a lot of interest here, and it’s great to hear the enthusiasm and see the progress |
| The core OSS gross margin recovered nicely |
| It’s resonating through the half and half and being able to tell our story there and see it resonates so well |
| This capture involves a new prime, a new platform and provides a multiyear production and support opportunity |
| Also on the defense side, we are well engaged with the potential sole-source opportunity for rugged Edge processing and storage for a multi-vehicle platform support activity |
| In Q3, we secured several significant wins across commercial and defense markets |
| Statement |
|---|
| The balance of the revenue reduction was associated with delays in certain customer orders for defense applications, lack of revenue from a bankrupt autonomous truck customer as well as a slowdown and general malaise in commercial markets |
| They include consolidated [Technical Difficulty] noting consolidated revenue was down 11.9% from $54.2 million to $47.7 million, predominantly due to a decrease of $10.5 million in media revenues |
| Gross profit in the third quarter decreased to $3.7 million with overall gross margin percentage decreasing 40 basis points to 26.6% due to a higher mix of Bressner revenue |
| We also continue to see a commercial slowness or general malaise that has manifested in delays and/or reduced awards |
| Again, one of the issues that seems to be a repeating is the difficulty in finding and hiring people with security clearances |
| Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was negative $248,000, a decrease from positive adjusted EBITDA of $1 million in the year ago quarter |
| We could experience further impacts going forward as the budget approval continues to be delayed |
| Approximately $4.3 million of such reduction was attributable to the loss of our former media customer from who we do not expect further revenue |
| Our operating results could be negatively impacted by inflationary pressures, supply chain constraints, increased interest rates, U.S |
| Quarterly revenues reflect a reduction of $5.1 million or 26.9% compared to the same period in 2022 |
| Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which would make our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause operating results to fall below expectations or guidance |
| And I think we’ve talked earlier in the statements about the kind of general malaise in the commercial market |
| This reduction was predominantly attributable to lower revenue and the write-down associated with the impairment of goodwill |
| government continuing resolution CR or other economic conditions |
| If we are unable to offset anticipated future decreases in revenue in our media and entertainment space with other business, our operating financial results may be adversely affected |
| Military conflicts, global pandemics or other disasters or public health concerns and economic instability in regions of the world where we have operations, customers or source material or sell products may affect such markets |
| Our products are subject to competition, including competition from the customers to whom we may sell and competitive pressure from new and existing companies, may harm our business sales, growth rates and market share |
| But until then, it’s weighing down on the overall margin for OSS |
| New entrants into our market may harm our competitive position |
| Joe Gomes So just in your press release, you talked about an overall delay in deployment of the technology |
