Q & A Highlights

Q : Can you discuss the revenue cadence for the seven-figure Middle East deal? Does it ramp over time or remain steady? A : The deal is steady and will start being reflected in our results during this reporting period. It doesn't ramp up over time.

Q : Could you provide more details on additional government enterprise contract opportunities in the Middle East region? A : We are seeing strong interest from governmental bodies and larger enterprises in the Middle East, partly due to proactive legislation on post-quantum encryption. Our strong local partnerships position us well to capitalize on these opportunities.

Q : How is AI impacting the use of your quantum-safe technology? A : We are exploring AI's role in our technology roadmap, particularly in remediation. AI could help identify vulnerabilities and suggest solutions, making the technology more accessible to non-experts.

Q : Outside of government, telecom, and defense, which other verticals are you focusing on in 2025? A : We are seeing interest from financial services and IP-rich industries concerned about "harvest now, decrypt later" threats. These sectors are looking to secure their data against future quantum threats.

Q : With revenue expected to ramp in 2025 and 2026, how quickly will you need to add back infrastructure costs? A : For fiscal year 2025, we expect to deliver all anticipated revenue with our current cost base, indicating minimal need for additional leverage this year.
