| While this provides substantial advantages for our customers in reducing system complexity, it also benefits Senstar considerably |
| Looking at our home markets, Canada, Senstar remain well positioned |
| The remarkable feature of our innovation lies in its ability to streamline multiple technologies into a single intelligent unit, simplifying intrusion detection installation and significantly enhancing overall performance |
| The LatAm region was also a standout performer regionally, delivering 10% growth year-over-year |
| To further expand our market position, we have added a senior executive in the third quarter to continue rebuilding in this critical region and accelerate our market share gains in our verticals |
| We continue to deliver strong growth in Europe, where revenue increased by over 20% year-over-year for the second quarter in a row |
| The multi-sensor offers unparalleled situational awareness, effectively neutralizing false alarms and a diversified standalone solution extends its potential application beyond the conventional perimeter intrusion detection use cases |
| We believe we can continue to gain market share in Europe and anticipate that this large and productive region will be a steady growth engine for us over the next few years |
| The mutli-sensor by encapsulating all these capabilities within a single unit will enable us to decrease our product portfolio range and realize improved operating scale |
| Each of our key verticals are benefiting from macro trends |
| Senstar remains committed to delivering product innovation, improving regional performance and driving growth in key verticals |
| We're working to have our gross margin returning to more normalized levels in coming quarters |
| Unidentified Analyst [indiscernible] don't you consider that to be an amazingly tiny revenue for a company that's been in business for 40 years? Fabien Haubert We're working hard to create some growth engine to make sure it is getting better |
| Now let me turn to something I'm very excited about |
| As Fabien discussed, we are working to have our gross margin returning to more normalized levels in the coming quarters |
| This year, we have experienced a recovery in the Correction business our largest vertical in the U.S |
| Furthermore, this product extends our strategic vision beyond our current bid market focus |
| Despite deepened revenue and gross margin in the quarter, we maintained positive operating income and positive EBITDA |
| Starting with an overview of the result this quarter, we booked revenue of $9 million underscoring our sustained strength in Europe and LatAm, which have been areas of investment over the past few years |
| Additionally, this innovative solution reduces the need of numerous sensors and camera installations |
| Year-to-date, this region has grown almost 20% |
| We recently introduced our latest breakthrough, the Senstar multi-sensor intrusion detection system, a disruptive AI-powered center unit that seamlessly integrates five intrusion detection capabilities into a single powerful device |
| We are harvesting the fruits of their focus and taking market share |
| Our investment in this project is already paying off since multi-sensor received the Platinum Award for the Best Intrusion Protection and Prevention Solution from American Security today's Annual Astros Homeland Security 2023 awards |
| is up 8% |
| I'm excited to officially announce that we will unveil the multi-sensor ISC West in April '24, followed by a full scale of launch later in the year |
| It will also decrease Senstar field costs related to installation, management and support |
| Have a good day |
| I was wondering how the backlog looks going forward the next three to 12 months? Tomer Hay So from past calls, we are not - this is not a data that we are giving regarding our backlog, but we can say that our backlog is stable and is okay |
| Tomer Hay So on behalf of Senstar management, I would like to thank you for your continued interest and long term support of our business, and I look forward to updating you next quarter |

| Lastly, APAC has been a challenging market this year, primarily due to the weak Chinese economy |
| Additionally, our revenue decline in the APAC region, primarily due to challenging economic conditions in China where gross profit was affected by the delivery of a lower-margin legacy project |
| The decline in this market year-to-date has been a headwind for our top line growth |
| due to one-off projects in the third quarter of last year that were not repeated this year and the continued weakness in China |
| Our revenues for the third quarter of 2023 was $9 million, a decrease of 7.9% compared with revenues of $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| As Fabien discussed, the decrease was mainly due to a challenging comparison in Canada and in the U.S |
| The third quarter reported gross margin was 56.5% of revenues, down compared with 61.1% in the year ago quarter |
| Federal budget restriction and reallocation impacted this segment in the prior year |
| This growth was tempered by the absence of one-off project in Canada and the U.S |
| Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected, including as a result of changing market trends, reduced demand and the competitive nature of the security systems industry as well as other risks identified in the documents filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission |
| Net loss attributed to Senstar Technology shareholders in the third quarter was $122,000 or negative $0.01 per share compared to net income attributed to Senstar Technology shareholder of $1.3 million or $0.06 per share in the third quarter of last year |
| The change was mainly due to the delivery of the lower-margin legacy projects |
| Our loss from continuing operation was $122,000 in the third quarter of 2023 compared to income from continuing operations of $1.2 million in the year ago quarter |
| These markets may persist critical security vulnerabilities but do not constitute critical infrastructure |
