Challenges Ahead

  • Our outlook factors in the impact of the large customer churn, which we calculate to be approximately $10.8 million in ARR.
  • Our outlook also includes our assumptions for the continuing effects of a challenging macroeconomic environment.
  • We cannot predict or control the macro-economic impact of ongoing uncertainty, and we observe our customers continue to take a cautious stance on new investments and are carefully examining each investment.
  • Our outlook for fiscal 2025 assumes a similar market environment to what we saw last year at this time.
  • Conditions aren't worsening.
