At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Michael Held, Chief Executive Officer of LifeSpeak. Please go ahead, sir. Thank you, operator, and welcome everyone to the LifeSpeak third quarter 2023 results conference call. I am pleased to report that our leading physical well-being, caregiving, and substance use tools, combined with our digital mental health education platform, continue to successfully address the well-being needs of employers, health plans, and other organizations, both internationally and domestically. The depth and breadth of our product suite has helped us mature into a comprehensive service provider for organizations that need preventative digital education and human expertise to support their employees and end users. With this effective and comprehensive approach, we were able to add a number of new customers in our third quarter, diversify our revenue base, and deliver significant value for our existing clients. Notable enterprise client additions for the third quarter included the Law Society of British Columbia, CAA Club, and the University of Minnesota. Subsequent to quarter end, the company added Canada Goose, Herc Rentals, 1-800-Flowers, and Prolink Staffing as enterprise clients. Cross-selling initiatives progressed through the third quarter of 2023, highlighted by the successful closing of a significant cross-sale, multi-product opportunity with Signet Jewelers. These client wins helped drive third quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25%, which increased versus the 2022 comparable period of 24%, demonstrating that we have established a consistent revenue base for our business and a well-managed cost structure. Overall, we are very excited about the opportunity that lies ahead of us and believe that we are making marked progress. I will now pass the call to our Executive Chairman, Nolan Bederman, who will provide more color on the quarter. Nolan? Thanks, Mike. We remain bullish about our growth prospects. Our core business remains strong and stable, and while we are in a business environment in which corporate spending has resulted in protracted sales cycles, we believe a definitive need continues to exist and grow for the crucial services we provide. We've remained focused on strengthening our operations, our leadership team, and our go-to-market teams. Over the third quarter, we continued to leverage the repositioning of upgraded internal resources for our sales and marketing groups. The sales and marketing function is in very good hands, and our teams now have a much better and far more diverse suite of products to offer new prospective customers. These potential customers, in turn, have reciprocated with greater openness to commercial opportunities with LifeSpeak across the portfolio of solutions. Ultimately, we believe we are well positioned for growth as the market for our services shifts back to firmer ground, and we are seeing early encouraging signals that this is already happening. The frequency and intensity of our sales discussions has been escalating, and that has resulted in tangible progress, as evidenced by the fact that for the second consecutive quarter, our sales teams are seeing larger customer contract wins in the enterprise segment. In addition, the ability to offer customers greater depth and breadth by way of multi-product sales has created a number of opportunities that the company would not have been capable of closing prior to the completion and integration of our targeted M&A. In other words, we believe strongly that our integrated approach to well-being is proving to be the right strategy. Overall, our enterprise pipeline in number of deals in size of partnerships, remains flush and continues to expand, and we are seeing more strategic potential in our adjacent embedded solutions pipeline. We're looking forward to updating you on the progress in the coming weeks and months. I will now turn the call over to Mike McKenna, who will walk us through our detailed financials. Mike? Thank you, Nolan. We believe our third quarter financial results demonstrate the consistency and stability of our business. ... and put us on solid footing to execute on our strategy going forward. Of note, for the quarter, revenue for Q3 of 2023 increased slightly to CAD 12.9 million when comparing to the same quarter in 2022. Annual recurring revenue, or our ARR, came in at CAD 51.5 million. This number is slightly down when compared to the same quarter in 2022 on a constant currency basis. However, as a reminder, we report ARR on a constant currency basis using a 1.3 Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate. Given our overall exposure to the US dollar, the movement in rates through the quarter, we think it's helpful to note that our ARR would have been approximately CAD 52.9 million as at September 30, 2023, when using a 1.35 Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate. Excuse me. The CAD 52.9 million of ARR represents a slight increase in overall ARR when compared to Q2 of 2023. To provide further breakdown on the base of CAD 51.5 million of ARR, approximately CAD 44 million came from our 973 enterprise clients, while the remaining CAD 7.9 million came from the embedded and other verticals. With respect to the geographic diversification, we remain consistent with approximately 66% of this quarter's ARR originating from markets outside of Canada. Importantly, no client accounted for more than 5% of ARR as of September 30th, 2023. Both our Q3 financial results press release and the Q3 MD&A provide further detail on our enterprise-embedded ARR breakdown for the quarter, and on a historical pro forma basis for comparative purposes. Moving on to Adjusted EBITDA. Our commitment to operational efficiencies provided the company with Adjusted EBITDA of CAD 3.3 million for the quarter. This is an increase of approximately 6% over the third quarter of 2022. The increase is largely attributable to operational efficiencies implemented across the organization and a strong continued focus on maintaining a consistent operating cost base. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 25%, which is very strong considering the macroeconomic operating environment. The 25% Q3 2023 Adjusted EBITDA margin is a slight increase over the Q3 2022 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24%. This again highlights the focus on operating the business with a high level of efficiency following our period of acquisitions. Net income and net loss. For the third quarter, the net loss was CAD 1.9 million, which compares to a net loss of CAD 1 million in the same period of 2022. However, this is largely due to a decrease in non-cash foreign exchange rates this quarter, slightly offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense and the lack of acquisition-related costs in the quarter. In addition to the previously mentioned metrics, we also tracked other KPIs to continue to help us evaluate the strength of our business. These include gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 increased to CAD 11.6 million. This results in a gross margin of 90%, which continues to be consistent quarter-over-quarter and equates to a similar gross margin in Q3 of 2022. Consolidated net dollar retention rate. NDR provides a consolidated measure by which we can monitor the percentage of ARR retained from our existing clients. NDR for Q3 of 2023 was 88%. This compares favorably to 78% in Q3 of 2022. Consolidated net dollar retention increased primarily due to the comparable reference period, no longer being affected by the loss of a large embedded solutions client, as first disclosed in the MD&A for the first quarter of 2022. This is also slightly offset by a slight increase in overall enterprise client customer churn. Logo retention rate. Logo retention rate, which is measured on an LTM basis, was 81% for the quarter. This is approximately 5% lower than reported at Q3 of 2022.... However, this is largely due to the loss of a smaller subset of clients following our period of acquisition. Capital structure. With respect to our capital structure, as of September 30, 2023, the company had approximately CAD 4.9 million of cash on hand at the end of the quarter and is in compliance with all debt covenants. The company continues to be in compliance with all covenants as of today. During the quarter, the company and its lenders did enter in an agreement to remove the requirement to test ARR and a Q3 annualized EBITDA test for the months of September and October of 2023. In doing so, there was never an event of default as defined in our loan agreements. The company remained in compliance throughout the period and continues to work with its lenders to ensure compliance on all terms of the loan agreements moving forward. On to our outlook for Q4 of 2023. Based on the company's current sales pipeline visibility, that both Michael and Nolan touched on as strong and robust, and the continued execution of our business strategy, we were able to anticipate consistent revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margins and an increase in ARR for the fourth quarter of 2023 when compared to the third quarter of 2023. If you recall, during our fiscal 2022 reporting cycle, on the, excuse me, the Q4 2022 results were impacted by some specific one-time revenue opportunities in Q4 of 2022, which impacted positively our financial results for the quarter. The company does not expect the same quantum of one-time revenue to be driven in Q4 of 2023, and we expect our results for Q4 to be largely in line with the third quarter of 2023, while seeing an increase in ARR and demonstrating the consistency and resiliency of the underlying business. Thank you, everyone, for your participation in the call this morning. We'll now open the call up to questions. Operator? Thank you, Mike. If you'd like to ask a question, please press Star followed by one on your telephone keypad now. If you change your mind, please press Star followed by 2. When preparing to ask your question, please ensure your device is unmuted locally. We will pause now while we wait for questions. Our first question today comes from Jerome Dubreuil from Desjardins. Please go ahead. Hi, thanks for taking my questions, and good morning, everyone. First question is on the utilization of the service. Wonder how this has trended recently, you know, as people have come back to work. I wonder if you're seeing any trends there in terms of utilization? Good morning, Jerome. It's Mike McKenna, and I think, you know, Michael and Nolan can provide some thoughts on this one as well, but it is certainly something that we're tracking actively and regularly. We have discussions with our stakeholders on this. It's actually been very consistent, and in a lot of cases, we're seeing actually good growth across the various platforms. So, you know, we're looking at, you know, reports on this, you know, daily, weekly, monthly to ensure that the trends are going in the right direction. So I think we're feeling, you know, good about where things are. Sorry, excuse me for a sec. Yeah. Sorry, I had to cough. I had to mute for a second. So Jerome, part of that then, you know, reverts back to the sales piece, right? Because ultimately, you know, questions around, you know, utilization come up obviously through the sales piece, you know, through our renewal discussions, et cetera, right? So, you know, as much as we're tracking it, you know, obviously internally, we're communicating with our customers about that, you know, regularly as well. And I think, you know, as we talk about, you know, the pipeline and, you know, where we're going, you know, with opportunities for 2024, certainly, you know, the strong utilization of the platform is leading a lot of those discussions. Michael and Nolan, I'm sure if you want to add anything to that, but I think, you know, Jerome, we feel like we're on the right path there. This is Michael. The only thing I would add is the underlying need for, you know, mental health and physical well-being services just continues to increase. And we just, all you have to do is look at the news every day to understand why. So we're seeing that in utilization, as Mike has suggested, and I believe we're a leading indicator. I think as the world started to slow, we saw that in advance. And I think now, if we're starting to see the world from a corporate spending open up a bit and you know, the size and number of opportunities is just a testament to the ongoing needs, which always, at the end of the day, relates to the fact that people use it because they need it. Jerome, it's Nolan. I'll only add one other piece as it relates to the evolution of the product. You know, engagement and utilization- ... are at the forefront of what we do, but we also, now that we have a broader platform that's substantially integrated, and are starting to think best about how we leverage things like AI, all of that is driven toward enhancing utilization even from here. So there, there are a ton of different ways and opportunities to continue to drive that upward over time. Thanks. Just based on that, you know, you've been in business for longer than maybe people realize. So you've gone through several economic cycles there. And what has been the impact of macro and past economic hardship, maybe in terms of utilization and in terms of how clients were ready to adopt the service, in terms of actually paying for it? Thanks. Michael, you're probably in the best position to talk through this. Sure. Sure, sure. This is Michael. Jerome, in terms of utilization is so different because that's when it's available, you know, to a human and they're given access, will they use it? And so whether or not, you know, the macroeconomic environment is good or not, or people are buying it, if they have it available, they're using it because it's greatly needed. And I've, you know, as anyone could attest, when the macro environment from a financial perspective layers on financial stress, onto their other daily stress, stress just goes up and anxiety. So from a usage standpoint, you know, that remains, you know, through this environment has remained consistent, strong, as Mike attested to, is also seeing growth. You know, the year was—if you look back at the past 12 months, it's been relatively flat, which in our environment, compared to competitors, is actually, you know, sadly, quite strong. Because, you know, with uncertainty, corporate spending does go on hold, but the underlying need doesn't end, so it just pushes to a later date. And we have been around 20 years, and we've seen the bump that follows these cycles. And what we're seeing now, which will translate into our results in the coming year, is, you know, people get back to business. And so if you were to step into our corporate environment, it's a very buoyed feeling because the activity is very strong, with very large opportunities that also wouldn't have been there had we not added the various product suites. So, you know, you need corporations to be in the space to purchase, and we're starting to see that again. So we have felt it. It has been a flat year. We used that time to build and bring these companies together, and now as we see it opening up, we're just kind of bigger and stronger and have more to offer, and believe that'll translate strongly. So, you know, that the environment is does go up and down, but we've been through those cycles, and now we can see that it's turning back up as we've seen before. Thank you. The next question on the line is from Jeff Martin of Roth MKM. Please go ahead. Great, thanks. Good morning. Wanted to get a sense of some detail around some of the changes within the sales organization. You announced 1 in the earnings release this morning. Don't need to directly address that, but just looking for, more broadly speaking, what are some of the strategic improvements you're making in improving the sales and conversion? Sure. So, Jeff Nolan, I'll start with structurally. You know, when you bring multiple products together, you need a sales team that can actually sell multiple products and that has that skill set, different skill set than selling one. So a big push at the end sort of toward the end of last year and the first half of this year, was to reorient and make sure that we had the right groups and teams focused on the right sectors and spaces, who had the capability to sell multiple products. Also, I think we've talked about this before, if you think of the possibilities of, you know, say, 5 different products, you know, immediately there's sort of 25 combinations you can have. You can't go to market that way. So a lot of effort was spent early days figuring out what are the key, most saleable, most appealing combinations, rank those, figure out how to actually go to market with a subset of things that are the most appealing, and then learn from that to, build and grow the materials so that selling multiple products can be simpler and simpler and simpler, at the same time improving the quality and, and reach of the teams that do that, and all the infrastructure associated with that, as well as the leadership. So that has really been the last full year project, for management. That was, you know, as you saw in the press release, you saw, Rafi departed, again, very amicably and very—we're super collaborative with him. That was his mission. We believe we've achieved a big push forward with that mission, with some really great folks leading the specific sales functions, both direct and then sort of on the partner side, with enhanced tools, enhanced infrastructure, enhanced teams, enhanced reporting, and all the things that go with that. That's not to suggest that that ever ends. We still have way more to do, but we're a cohesive company, and I think evidence for that is we're starting to see, and we have seen, you know, a lot of folks in this industry- ... calling us and saying, "It looks like what you guys are doing is incredibly interesting. You know, how do we join?" And that's pretty good feedback for us. So building what we call One LifeSpeak has been the mission, and that's, you know, been, as you can imagine, doing that with multiple companies in a non-great environment is even more of a challenge, but we feel really good about that push forward. Michael, anything you want to add there, there? The only thing I would add is, you know, we are a much larger player now with a lot more to offer, so we also have a lot more stakeholders that are important. So one of the key stakeholders in our industry are benefits consultants, like the world of Aon and Mercer and WTW. And so we've actually to this team, we've added a consultant relations team, brought in, like, phenomenal people. 1, you know, 1 from Mercer, 1 from WTW, who started earlier this year, and we're already seeing the benefits, working on some very large deals. So while the sales team and the partner team are out selling, this group is working with the advisors to, you know, employers, in the background, you know, facilitating these sales and making sure everyone's educated and everyone knows about us. And, just for example, these just 2 people have had, you know, roughly 100 meetings with consultants in just the last 2 months. So we will definitely see that, but you kind of have to be a certain size to be able to invest in that type of opportunity. But we are there and, you know, feel great about it. And it works. This just works really well with the other part of the team that Nolan has just described. Great, thanks for that. My other question is regarding ARR. Looks like it's at a pivot point. You know, heading into Q4, you're expecting ARR to increase over Q3. I assume that's more on the enterprise side. Maybe you could speak to the embedded solution side as well. Is that more of a freeing up of the decision making, or are you looking at that as more of where you're seeing the broader macro conditions improve? Thanks. Hey, Jeff, it's Mike. Good morning. I'll start, and then we can talk into some of that other detail with Michael and Nolan as well. But just in terms of the context of, you know, just the overall pipeline and, you know, sort of where we're seeing opportunities, and we did touch upon that a little bit during the prepared remarks, but enterprise, you know, absolutely, a focal point. There are some, you know, additional opportunities, let's call it, coming forward, as, you know, maybe Nolan mentioned on some of these adjacent sort of categories. But, you know, that's like more a little bit more today still in planning. And so where we're seeing opportunities, you know, in Q4 and Q1 for opportunities to really see that ARR increase or drive that ARR increase is certainly on the enterprise side. And part of that, too, maybe I'll just add one more thing. I mean, obviously, part of that, Jeff, comes with, you know, the continued efforts and focus to manage churn and, you know, maintain. You know, really trying to focus on the retention side as well, right? So, you know, there's a lot going into that, obviously, you know, with the focal point there being the large component piece of the enterprise customer. Thanks. Thank you. Michael, Nolan, do you, I don't know if you have anything else you'd like to add, but... Well, I, you know, it goes back to Jerome's question. We've seen this show before, so the world does return. We're seeing it returning. But on top of that, you know, as Nolan has said, we've used the last couple of years to be far better and be able to offer way more. So when I look across our opportunities and go-to-market, each part of that, I expect growth. And so feeling very bullish, because I think the combination of each tool to make money getting better, our churn getting better, in an environment that gets better. So even while there might be a consumer recession, our world starts to improve. I'm feeling very bullish on next year. So it's more than a quarter seasonal thing. The world is changing upwards for us, and it's quite evident. That's it for me. Thank you. Thanks, Jeff. The next question on the line is from Paul Treiber, from RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Oh, thanks very much, and good morning. I just wanted to discuss further the cross-selling. You know, what proportion of your customers now are multi-product as opposed to single product, and where do you see that going in the medium near term? Hey, Paul, good morning. It's Mike. I'll start, and then, again, Michael and Nolan can add in terms of the thought process and some trends for 2024. But when you think about the opportunity, you know, within cross-sell and the 990-ish thousand enterprise customers, right? There's still only a small component piece of that existing base, right? That would be already, let's call it, a multi-product customer, in the sense that, sometimes it would be, you know, the opportunity for a discussion would be, like, at a renewal or, you know, depending on, you know, where customers would be during their own cycle. Where we continue to talk, I think, very consistently for the past couple of quarters, and with opportunities, you know, to go out to market with-... So from new customer sales on the multiproduct side, right? I think that's really where we're seeing, you know, the entirety of that opportunity be able to grow. And so it would still be, frankly, less than 100 of the enterprise customers, that when you stack it all up, would be considered to be true, you know, cross-sell customers today. But I think that also speaks to the breadth of the opportunity. Right now, also, not all customers are gonna be a cross-sell type opportunity because it could be, you know, our offering could be a component of something else, or, you know, it could be a smaller type business that, you know, may not have the ability to pay for, you know, 3 or 4 products, right? But I think, you know, just in that description, you know, you can sort of, you know, see why we're, you know, excited about that opportunity because, you know, there's pretty significant potential goals there within, right? That's helpful. How do you think about the potential ARR uplift per client with multiproduct as opposed to single product? Is it you double ARR per client, is that the sort of ballpark that you're thinking of? Well, I again, sort of to go through that, like the list of current customers, I think what you're seeing... Well, maybe a better way to think about it, Paul, if we went through and looked at the 5 largest customers that came onto the platform this year, right? They would be multiproduct in nature, right? And so, you know, you could think about that in the context of those customers. That deal size is probably, you know, 2, or in some cases, 3 x what it would have been if it was just, you know, back to the LifeSpeak product that we had at the time of the IPO, right? But I wouldn't sort of necessarily translate all that thinking through the entirety of the base, right? Because, again, I was, as I tried to describe, not the entirety of that current enterprise base is gonna be, you know, set up to sort of make that mathematical formula work. But Paul, to your, Nolan, to your point, you're going in the right direction, in that the products are similarly priced within a band on an individual basis. Yeah. And then as they're bundled, there's a discount. So if you think of having 4 capabilities, which is we think physical well-being is really one capability. Again, there's lots of variations within this because there's a million things you can add and not add. But, you know, you could see why a client could double or triple if they add multiple things. I mean, to McKenna's point, it's gonna be different across the scale of portfolio, but we're definitely seeing that, you know, they're roughly similar priced, and clearly, if you can buy more of them, you know, they're a discounted component. That hopefully answers your question. Thanks. Yeah, no, that, that's very helpful. And then just the last thing, as you look at 2024, you know, it sounds like you're upbeat on, you know, the pipeline and potential pickup in ARR through the year. You know, how do you think about your approach to, you know, investing to drive growth and investing in sales and marketing and other initiatives, you know, versus retaining some of that, just from a conservatism point of view, just in light of, you know, macro, you know, who knows where it could go going forward? Like, how do you think about that at the end of the 2024 year? So it's Nolan. I can do that, Paul. So business end, I think we feel we've actually made the vast majority of investments to address the returning market. It's really in our numbers at this point. I mean, we think there's also a pace at which in this industry, and I think we talked about this over various calls. You just wouldn't go in, for example, double your sales force in anticipation of things. You really have to grow this business, building relationships, getting salespeople to really have that pipeline, which takes time to build. The funnel process is a pretty significant one. So we feel like there's always more one can spend, and we have some growth factored into that spend. But the bulk of the infrastructure that's needed is here, where we're upgrading and where we're investing, and you know, sort of have committed to this already, are very specialized salespeople. So, you know, again, health plans. Well, that's a very specialized subgroup of, you know, embedded or adjacent revenue. That's something that is way best done with a person who's done that for 20 years. You have to be big enough to be able to find those folks and have them want to join your business. And those are the types of adjustments and further investments we're making, but they're at the margin in terms of dollars. They're very important in terms of unlocking capabilities, but it's targeted, thoughtful approaches. It's building better infrastructure. You know, we do spend the money on marketing, but this isn't a business. We're not, you know, we're not B2C, so spending, you know, CAD 10 million on, you know, social media marketing is not gonna have an ROI for us. So we're very disciplined around that stuff. So I think the answer is just continuing to build on what we build with, you know, more and more specialized folks doing. Once we prove that there's a opportunity in a very particular space, then we can bring someone on who has that expertise. Thanks for taking the questions. As a reminder, if you'd like to ask any further questions, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad now. The next question is from David Kwan from TD Securities. Please go ahead. Yes, good morning, guys. This is Arman on for David. Thanks for all the color that you guys provided for this quarter and, you know, for Q4. My first question is actually related to churn. Quarter-over-quarter, we did see some churn in both your enterprise and embedded clients. I was wondering if you could, you know, shed some light on, you know, why those customers chose to leave and, yeah, just some color on there, on that area would be appreciated. Hey, good morning. Thanks for the questions and always for stepping in for David. Nice to hear from you. I'll touch just firstly on, you know, the embedded customers. There was 2 customer losses in the quarter there. One of them was very small, and the other one was from a geographic perspective or geographic opportunity that we're no longer supporting the geography. So I think that's important. You know, there are gonna be little nuances of different reasons, right? You know, I think, you know, on the enterprise side, again, logo-- number of logos versus total dollars, I think is also really important as we think about, you know, how we are measuring this, right? So again, you know, I don't wanna sort of, you know, take too much emphasis off of that overall churn and retention number because it is, it's a huge area of focus for us, right? And we are consistently, you know, speaking about this on our quarterly calls, you know, we don't want to lose any-- you know, you don't want to see any customers churn off the platform, right? But we are trying to very much be focused operationally, sales and marketing wise, on, you know, ensuring that from a, from a dollar perspective, we're also putting the resources, towards, you know, the right places, the right areas, because, you know, overall, you know, there are some larger opportunities that we want to try to go after and then ultimately, you know, want to retain. So that, that's really the focus. I hope that's not detailed in terms of the question, but I think that probably provides, you know, some good insight into how we're trying to manage that. I don't know, Michael or Nolan, if you wanted to add anything, but I probably covered it. No, I appreciate that color. I think Michael also alluded to, you know, using AI, or maybe it was Nolan, like earlier on in the call. Curious to know, like, you know, what you guys are thinking on that front and, if you're trying to—you know, if you've already embedded some AI in your existing product line or, you know, when you're planning on launching something big when it comes to AI in the coming quarters or maybe in fiscal 2024. Yeah, it's Nolan again. Thanks, thanks for that question. So would you think of it this way, at the simplest, I mean, we have a, I mean, very, very, very large, comprehensive, super high quality and broad content, proprietary content library. That's one of the things that we've created, we continue to create. And so, you know, one of the thoughts we have, if you think of all the possible applications of AI, is, you know, better serving up and learning from those types of libraries or content repositories. So our first efforts are in how do we make the user experience even better, even more robust, and even more focused, leveraging that content. So that's sort of where we're focused at the beginning, as well as leveraging AI within the operations of the business. But that's, I think most companies are thinking about how to do that as well. So that's really where we're starting. It's definitely a 2024 initiative, and I think for us, you'll see it in 2 ways. One is, I think, just in a native sense, that the utilization in the customer journey within our product will get better and better. Whether we market it as a separate product or not, to be honest, we don't know. It just may make our product significantly better, and it'll just be a core part as opposed to having, you know, sort of a quote, AI feature. So I think at this stage, we're trying to assess how best to use it. There's certainly lots of ways that it can enhance the base, base parts of our product. There may be actual new features that it unlocks, but I think at this stage, we're, you know, really in the discovery phase of that. I think we're going to take it in sort of a very stepwise fashion. I appreciate the color. I think there's a lot of potential there. So, Mike, again, back to you for a few other questions. So are you guys anticipating any further cost-based rationalization or any more cost synergies? Like your margins have held up pretty strongly, so curious to know, you know, your thoughts on those and, you know, cost rationalization. Sure. And thanks for this question as well. You know, I think the real focus is on, you know, efficiency, right? And consistency in the cost base. We can't also not invest in sales and marketing or the product, right? So we have to balance that, right? So I think where we are now, I think we've, as you noted, right, rightfully, and thankfully, you know, in terms of where we are with the margins, they have held in strong. At the same time, we're still trying to continue to invest and continuing to try to grow. And so obviously, that's, you know, that, that's where, where the balance is right now. But again, I think if you look back at even in the past 3, 4 quarters, just even at the sales and marketing and, and G&A breakdown for the quarter, right? You know, you can certainly see that, you know, every quarter we're getting a little bit more efficient, but we're still, you know, we're still investing dollars, right? And I think that's, that's really important. And so that's, that's really the, the focus in terms of balance. You know, you know, can you always be a little bit more efficient? We can always be looking at, you know, cost rationalization. Yeah, I, I touched on that a little bit in the prepared remarks, right? But we don't want to be sort of overemphasizing that at this point because... This also would relate to a couple of the questions that we had earlier, just about, you know, the excitement levels for 2024... and where some of where, where opportunities are, we have to be, you know, mindful to ensure that we're investing in the right spots to continue to supplement the growth. Got it. One last quick question. I also noticed that, you know, you guys made an amendment to your credit agreements this quarter and, you know, the subsequent months as well. Could you talk a little bit about that? You know, as you're expecting your ARR to increase through Q4, should we expect those amendments to go away later on? Thank you. Yeah. We're just what we're trying to do is get you know the agreements to the right spot so that we can avoid you know any further challenge with you know for example an ARR testing covenant right? So we've got good support from you know the lenders and the like to work through that. So that's you know it's a bit of an ongoing process but I think again you know I was I tried to be you know as clear from the disclosure perspective as possible in the prepared remarks that you know everything's on side. We've worked you know well with the lenders on a couple of these you know minor amendments that were related to very specific tests versus the overall health of the agreement right? So I think that's most important as it relates to the focus. Yes, we're continuing to try to make sure that obviously, you know, we remain consistently in compliance, and that process is ongoing as it would be for anybody, right? Yep, makes sense. Thank you so much, guys. Okay. We have no further questions on the question queue, so I'd now like to hand back to Nolan Bederman to conclude. Great. Thank you, operator. Thanks, everybody, for listening for the thoughtful questions, and we look forward to updating you again, soon. Thanks very much. Thank you, everyone, for joining the LifeSpeak Third Quarter results conference call. You may now disconnect your lines and enjoy the rest of your day.
