| The only thing I'll add is, as we talked about the back half of the year was very strong for travel, especially Q4 |
| Our subscription ARR was $259 million or $257.9 million on a constant currency basis, increasing 14% year-over-year and significantly exceeding guidance |
| I will say our teams in the fields executed extremely well on the opportunities we had and many of those paths actually came together, as we went through the quarter, which is really what drove the outperformance, if you will, on our bookings metrics |
| Last year, we delivered 14% subscription AR growth year-over-year, significantly outperforming the high end of our guidance range |
| We grew our total revenue by 10% and subscription revenue by 15%, while generating $11.4 million in free cash flow, an outstanding improvement of over $33 million year-over-year |
| I would tell you that the strength in Europe is both the B2B business performed very well last year in Europe and our travel business |
| I feel very good about progress we will have made with this type of guidance for 2024 |
| I feel very good about what we accomplished in the first year with that objective and even in the second year |
| I talked about Q3 being a better quarter and I talked about Q4, we expected travel to do better and I would tell you that, that played out probably even better than what I expected |
| So definitely, our solutions are resonating quite strong in the market |
| The ongoing success of these changes was evident again in 2023 and in Q4 as we experienced a record-breaking quarter for deal volumes |
| In Q4, we drove incredible wins in new customer acquisition and expansions across B2B and travel |
| And I would say in the quarter, both B2B and travel outperform our expectations |
| How we can also leverage AI to provide more and better value for our customers |
| Castrol, a leading manufacturer of industrial lubricants chose to activate our optimization, price management and CPQ solutions to drive a superior customer experience by optimizing and automating their global sales process |
| All of our solutions incorporated AI and they're seeing the value of the more, the newer algorithms drive even better results on their business and better revenue uplift both in the travel industry and in the B2B industries |
| Saudia is activating our revenue management and group sales optimizer solutions to power profitable growth with dynamic market relevant offers and a seamless sales experience |
| And we have pretty good visibility to what we see happening in the first 6 months, not as good visibility to the back half of the year, and that is certainly factored into our guidance |
| It was a very strong quarter |
| And we did see great strength across all industries in all geographies, frankly |
| Think about from marketing, from sales, legal, all the way into implementations, customer success and across every aspect of the organization, we want to equip our teams to really thrive in the generation of AI |
| I would tell you for the year, we ended pretty similar to every year about 50% net new and 50 expansions, so it's a really, really strong balance between new logo wins and great expansion opportunities within the customer base |
| On a year-over-year basis, our total revenue grew $27.6 million while our EBITDA improved by $20.9 million and free cash flow improved by $33.1 million |
| I'm so proud of what our team accomplished in 2023 |
| And I think what's exciting for me is seeing a lot of the innovations that we've worked on during COVID and our investments in innovation paying off now in the examples of Japan Airlines or Air Canada or Air Europa, all of them in winning Saudia, we're seeing strong success in new lands and we're seeing success in customers continuing to expand to the latest generation innovations, and as I look at this year, I feel very good |
| With RTDP Ultimate, Air Canada drives even more value through our latest AI innovations for continuous pricing, empowering them to price fares across the spectrum with the best willingness to pay AI to date |
| We're really pleased with that and really excited about executing towards the year |
| We've been very happy with what's going on in the last couple of years |
| We're seeing our sales cycles are improving, our rep productivity is improving, or deal growth is improving |
| We generated adjusted EBITDA of $2.5 million in the fourth quarter, which puts our adjusted EBITDA for the full year at $6 million an impressive improvement from our loss of $14.9 million in 2022 |

| Unidentified Analyst And then turning my attention to the guide, it looks like 2024 revenue estimates came in slightly below some expectations |
| It was a bit below our number and just say for example with travel, it really seems like after a period of not seeing spend or you're starting to see that spend come back |
| We achieved a notable 28% reduction in B2B new logo sales cycle times year-over-year |
| We fell just short of our adjusted EBITDA guidance in the fourth quarter and the full year because of an increase in our incentives due to our outperformance on revenue and free cash flow for the year |
| So we're not seeing any effect across any industry at this point, but we have to be cognizant with what we're hearing from other companies reporting about concerns in the economy |
| That's going to have to be a motion that we continue to execute upon |
| This means we must continue to innovate to expand our growth and drive greater efficiency every year, which brings me to our strategic focus areas for 2024 |
