The earnings call shows mixed signals: while SaaS revenue and ARR growth are positive, the overall decline in revenue and increased net loss are concerning. The Q&A reveals optimism about cost savings, AI integration, and strategic growth, but lacks clear guidance on profitability. The market's reaction is likely to be neutral given the balanced positives and negatives.
Total Revenue $38.3 million, down 21% year-over-year. The decline was primarily due to the decision to move away from bulk hardware sales, aiming for more predictable revenue through better alignment with customer buying cycles.
Hardware Revenue $15.1 million, down 39% year-over-year. This reflects the decision to transition away from bulk hardware sales.
Professional Services Revenue $4.3 million, down 26% year-over-year. The decline reflects a broader slowdown in new unit deployments.
Hosted Services Revenue $18.8 million, up 5% year-over-year. This growth is attributed to expanding platform usage, high retention, and increasing demand for software capabilities.
SaaS Revenue $14.2 million, comprising 37% of total revenue, up from 26% in the prior year quarter. This growth reflects disciplined pricing, enhanced value delivery, and the expansion of platform capabilities.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) $56.9 million, up 11% year-over-year. This growth reflects the expansion of the recurring revenue base and successful execution of a higher-margin strategy.
SaaS Gross Profit $10 million, up 4% year-over-year, with a gross margin of roughly 70%. This reflects the efficiency and scalability of the software infrastructure.
Total Gross Profit $12.7 million, down from $17.3 million in the prior year quarter. The decline is due to lower hardware shipments and associated margin mix.
Hardware Gross Profit $2.3 million, down from $8.4 million in the prior year. This reflects lower shipment volume and the transition away from bulk hardware deals.
Professional Services Gross Loss $1.9 million, improved from a loss of $3.1 million in the prior year quarter. This improvement is driven by operational efficiencies and improved unit economics.
Hosted Services Gross Profit $12.3 million, essentially in line with the prior year quarter.
Gross Margin 33%, down from 36% in the prior year quarter. The decline is due to unfavorable changes in hardware product mix, partially offset by strong SaaS gross margins of 70%.

Adjusted EBITDA Negative $7.3 million, a year-over-year decline of $8.3 million.
