Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Revenue on our ITPS segment was impacted by lower volumes, customer's rebalancing portfolios, attrition, and currency translation flux
We did lose some business and did not win some that we were highly qualified for
ITPS revenue was lower by $5 million or 2.6% for Q2 year-over-year and lower by $16.3 million or 4.1% year-to-date, year-over-year
Par, I think you mentioned some challenges just in the overall broader environment and maybe there were some business there that you thought -- that you were in-line to win that maybe didn't go your way
The business climate still remains challenging, but however, the business of process automation, as I think I mentioned that in couple of my other calls
EBITDA for Q2 2023 was $31.6 million compared to an EBITDA loss of $17.6 million in Q2 of 2022
EBITDA margin for Q2 2023 was 11.6% compared to negative 6.6% in Q2 of 2022
What I referred to was, when we were going through a rough patch, we were in-line to win some of the bid, some of the RFPs, but because of the rough patch, we were not able to win those
On a year-over-year basis, the gross margin on ITPS segment is being impacted by our growth investments for expansion of services and cloud operations
