The company successfully reduced marketing spend while still generating 63,000 paid adds, indicating efficient cost management.
EBITDA margin improved by 6 percentage points to 54.5%, reflecting disciplined cost control and operational efficiency.
CCSI repurchased an additional $63.5 million of debt during the quarter, reducing its net debt to EBITDA ratio to 3.2 times.

Revenue in the SoHo channel declined by 12.6% to $36.8 million in Q1 2024 due to reduced marketing spend and a shrinking customer base.
Despite improvements, the corporate channel growth of 4% still falls short of the company's long-term growth targets.
The company noted a slight increase in the SoHo channel's cancel rate to 3.42%, reflecting potential challenges in customer retention.
