Management Commentary
Doug Dyment, President and CEO commented, "Fiscal Q2 set a new quarterly revenue record, and was our fifth consecutive quarter of profitability. We continue to deliver solid financial results while building out our data business. During the quarter, we established a data center for our AI-based video analytics hosted services offerings, and customers are subscribing to these offerings. In the school segment we are seeing an increase in the number of school districts embracing our video analytics software, and we launched a new Pedestrian Protector solution which uses AI and video analytics to help protect school children around the bus. In the transit segment we announced completion of a major transit contract, and announced a new contract to equip passenger train locomotives with video and storage devices that are now regulated to be installed on all intercity passenger trains in the U.S. We also recently announced a new transit customer that is embracing our hosted service offerings. We have been strategically investing in our corporate infrastructure and sales team in preparation for future growth, which is centered around our Platform as a Service (PaaS) business model, Mobile Data Collectors (MDCs), and video analytics offerings that help our customers analyze the vast amounts of video and data being recorded every day."
