Q & A Highlights
Q: The $20 million of pending installations, is the installation schedule set by your customer, or is it a capacity issue on your side?
A: Peter Evans, CEO: It is not a capacity issue. The schedule is set by the customer, who may choose to deploy in phases across multiple locations.
Q: Will there be capacity constraints for deployments in the second half of '25 or '26 based on the pipeline?
A: Peter Evans, CEO: No, we have built out a plan to double our capacity and can address the aggressive growth expected through the second half and into 2026.
Q: Sales and marketing expenses were reduced this quarter. Is this seasonal, or are you becoming more efficient?
A: Karen Hersh, CFO: It's a timing issue. We are addressing multiple markets with certain seasonality, and we adjust our marketing spend based on the timing of trade shows and market opportunities.
Q: Can you discuss the impact of tariffs on your business?
A: Peter Evans, CEO: The tariff situation is fluid and could impact pricing or supply chain dynamics. We are monitoring developments closely and preparing alternative options. However, customer demand remains strong and not price-sensitive.
Q: How are channel partners contributing to gross margins, given that 45% of revenue came from them this quarter?
A: Peter Evans, CEO: We manage product costs internally and focus on delivering high-value solutions, which allows us and our partners to maintain profitability without significant price competition.
