Good afternoon. Welcome to Kaleyra's Q3 2022 Earnings Conference Call. After the market closed, Kaleyra released unaudited results for the Q3 ended on September 30, 2022. The press release, as well as a replay of today's call, can be found on the company's investor relations website at investors.kaleyra.com. Please view the release for additional information on what will be discussed today. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. Joining us today are Kaleyra's Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dario Calogero, Chief Financial Officer, Giacomo Dall'Aglio, and VP of Investor Relations, Colin Gillis. Following their remarks, we will open the call for questions. I would now like to turn the call over to Kaleyra's VP of Investor Relations, Colin Gillis. Please go ahead. Thank you. Before we begin, we would like to remind everyone that during today's call, management will be making forward-looking statements. Please refer to the company's SEC filings, including the company's annual report on Form 10-K, for the summary of the forward-looking statements and the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements. Kaleyra cautions investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to update or revise the statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events that occur, except as required by law. Throughout today's press release and on the call, we'll refer to adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. These metrics are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and therefore are susceptible to varying calculations. A definition, calculation, and reconciliation to the financial statements of these non-GAAP measures can be found in the tables included in our press release. We believe these non-GAAP measures of Kaleyra's financial results provide useful information regarding certain financial and business trends and the results of operations. Now, I would like to turn the call over to our founder and CEO, Dario, for an overview of Kaleyra's Q3. Dario? Thank you, Colin. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. As usual, for those of you who may be new to our story, I will begin with a brief overview of our business. Kaleyra is a communication platform as a service or CPaaS provider. At a high level, we provide our global partner base with an omni-channel suite of powerful APIs and visual tools to bridge the communication divide between brands and their customers. Companies, especially those that require security and must prioritize reliability, such as financial institutions and healthcare providers, often face coverage gaps when trying to communicate with their customers. Our mission is to help build lasting business-to-customer relationships for our partners, brands, across channels, and to do so while providing a service that our clients can trust. To reiterate, our growth strategy relies on three main pillars. One, we are focused on expanding our geographical footprint. Kaleyra's revenue comes from global customers, and it's a priority for us to both expand to new geographies and maintain our diverse global revenue footprint. Specifically, tier one mobile network providers represent important partnerships for our business, as they are often the key to new geographies and expansion opportunities. It is our view that the CPaaS market as a whole remains very fragmented and under-penetrated in many parts of the world, and that we are well-positioned to meet CPaaS demand in underserved areas. After last year's expansion into American markets through mGage, we continue to have around 44% from the Americas, around 28% from Europe, and around 28% from Asia. A favorable balance that makes Kaleyra one of the most prominent and geographically diverse CPaaS companies in the world. Two, we will continue to judiciously invest in our omni-channel suite of services. It's our goal to meet our partners on whichever channels they require to best connect with their customers. Video and voice communication continues to expand globally, and we believe that building our platform to accommodate new communication streams remains an important area of investment for our team. Lastly, we remain committed to secure, reliable, and trusted service. Our business thrives in industries that have the highest standards of security for their communications with their consumers. Banks, financial institutions, healthcare, et cetera, all need to be able to trust that their interactions with consumers are handled with the utmost security and consistency. Kaleyra delivers on that in a way that no other industry player does. While others strive for partner volume, we know that our expertise in trusted CPaaS influences customers' retention, and that with the right partners, this is an area in which we can excel. Through our diverse geographical mix of tier one mobile providers, concentrated investments in our omni-channel platform, and secure service, we believe we have a real opportunity to scale and realize our long-term vision of being the trusted global CPaaS provider for our partners. Our Chief Financial Officer, Giacomo Dall'Aglio, will discuss our financial results for the quarter shortly. Before I hand over the call, I'd like to recap a few recent highlights from our Q3. Financially, this quarter, we continued to manage our business with profitability in mind, including a strong increase in our cash position. Overall, our Q3 revenue was $83.9 million, in line with our previously provided outlook, despite the adverse effect of foreign exchange rates. Largely due to short-term headwinds driven by heightened connectivity costs, our gross profit decreased slightly, impacting our adjusted gross margin of 21.5% for the Q3. Our net loss for the quarter was $11.7 million, compared to $11.9 million in the comparable year ago period. Most importantly, our balance sheet remains strong, with $87.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments at the end of the quarter, or up 17% from the prior quarter. We believe as the industry environment continues to normalize in the coming quarters, our effort to prioritize profitability will serve our business well. Even with these considerations, our team's diligence and perseverance has allowed us to continue investing in our growth strategy, as evidenced by our KPI and partnership success in the Q3. Moving to some of our key operating metrics, this quarter we delivered 11.6 billion billable messages, a reflection of our ability to leverage the benefit of scale within our SMS segment. Additionally, we connected 2.4 billion voice calls in the third quarter, showing expansion in our voice segment and the sign of the opportunity available within this channel moving forward. In Q3, our dollar-based net expansion rate was 94%, calculated based upon revenue from the same customer base in the comparable year ago period. Also, building on its first $1 million month last quarter, the Campaign Registry continued to perform in our Q3, showing sequential quarterly growth in revenue with sustained high profitability. The Campaign Registry continues to be a part of our trusted CPaaS offering, as well as a margin driver for our business. Moving to our operational highlights. In the Q3, we announced several partnerships. First, as Amazon Pay India preferred service provider, our API solution, already integrated into the Amazon Pay platform, will trigger messages for highly critical one-time password and confirm payment details for vendors and end users. These integrations are expected to enhance customer experience and increase customer satisfaction. Also, we partnered with Truecaller, an industry-leading caller ID service provider, to enhance our ability to provide trusted and safe business communication services through Truecaller's proprietary verified business caller ID solution. Partnerships like these help to expand both our brand and our customer footprint, and we expect to continue pursuing similar opportunities in the future. In addition, we reached a key milestone with one of our existing partner in the Q3, Google Verified Calls. We crossed 20 million Google Verified Calls managed through Kaleyra Voice API in 2022, with 10 million of those calls managed in August alone. Part of our operational success over the last year is being thanks to the hard work of Chief Business Officer Mauro Carobene, who celebrated his one-year anniversary with the company this quarter. Mauro's effort, especially towards developing relationships with tier one providers and with large enterprise customers, has been exceptionally helpful in our mission to expand Kaleyra's reach and partner growth. Across our business, we were able to achieve these results despite persistent headwinds faced during the quarter. Global economic uncertainty driven by overlapping geopolitical and macroeconomic factors, including a growing global economy, the recent market volatility, and uncommonly high inflation. However, two main factors stand out to us. First, we continue to face significant exchange headwinds. We saw increased volatility within the foreign exchange rate market in the past few months. Enough that when compared to last year Q3 exchange rates, this year revenue was reduced by nearly $4.7 million in the Q3. Second, global economic downturn continues to shift enterprise purchasing behavior. Due to our commitment to secure service, our enterprise partner relationships require significantly more upfront diligence than for other areas of our industry. While this adds time to our sales cycle, the trust we build with our partners through this process helps us maintain our strong net retention and 0% churn rate within our top 10 customers. Unfortunately, in periods of more careful enterprise spending, this creates an even more elongated sales cycle and backs up our customer acquisition pipeline as a result. The typical seasonality in Kaleyra's business include positive catalyst in the Q4, including the 2022 U.S. election cycle, Diwali, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, and the December holiday season. We don't expect this global external impact to last forever, and we are confident that our sales pipeline reflects the diligent work that our sales team has put in over the past few quarters. However, given the macro environment, we are mindful and diligent of these headwinds and believe our Q4 and full year outlook should be reflective of this. Colin will be discussing our outlook shortly. Moving forward, our focus will remain on maintaining consistent profitability metrics and driving healthy growth across our business. The fundamentals of our business are top of mind, and we understand that high-quality product and service development and implementation will continue to reap increased economic benefits in the long term. We are proud of our team perseverance and their unwavering commitment to building a sustainable and valuable business moving forward. With that, I now turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Giacomo Dall'Aglio, to discuss our financial results for the quarter in greater detail. Giacomo? Thank you, Dario. Turning now to our financial results for the Q3 ending September 30, 2022. As Dario noted, our total revenue in the third quarter was $83.9 million, a decrease of $109,000 from $84 million in the comparable year ago period. The decrease in revenue in the third quarter was mainly driven by broader economic uncertainty and temporary enterprise purchase sentiment. Notably, this quarter was our first full quarter after one year anniversary of the mGage acquisition. MGa ge was contribute significantly to our scale and global footprint over the past year, and we look forward to continuing to organically grow the business moving forward. Gross profit in the Q3 decreased to $16.7 million from $19.6 million in the comparable year ago period. Gross margin for the Q3 of 2022 decreased to 19.9% compared to 23.3% in the Q3 of 2021. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin were mainly driven by an increase of cost of revenue attributable to the effect of connectivity cost. Net loss totaling $11.7 million or $0.26 per share based on 44.7 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $11.9 million or $0.29 per share based on 41.6 million weighted average shares outstanding in the comparable year ago period. Adjusted gross profit, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance, decreased 14% to $18.1 million from $21 million in the comparable year ago period. Adjusted gross margin for the Q3 of 2022 was 21.5% compared to 25% in the comparable year ago period. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance, decreased $793,000, or two cents and one cent per basic and diluted share based on 44.7 and 54.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, from $3.6 million, or nine cents and seven cents per basic and diluted share based on 41.6 and 52.4 million weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, in the comparable year ago period. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance, decreased to $4 million, 4.8% of total revenue, compared to $8 million, 9.5% of total revenue in the comparable year ago period. At the end of the Q3, cash equivalent, restricted cash, and short-term investments were $87.6 million, compared to $97.9 million as of December 31, 2021. This completes my financial summary. I'd now like to turn the call back over to Colin to provide our financial outlook for the remainder of the year. Giacomo, thank you. I'll now take a few minutes to update you on our financial outlook for the Q4, which ends on December 31, 2022. As we close out the year, the lasting impacts of industry-wide headwinds still limit typical enterprise and consumer spending. We foresee degrees of growth in our business driven by Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping, the December holiday season, Diwali, and among other factors. Therefore, we see that the investments we've made into expanding our sales team, building our partnership pipeline, and developing our technology have put us in a position to take advantage of these catalysts. We remain confident in our strong fundamentals and comfortable balance sheet, as well as our path toward becoming the leading global trusted CPaaS. As Dario explained, due to many factors, including the uncertain macro environment impacting the broader technology industry, coupled with elongated enterprise sales cycles, married with the backlog within our pipeline, we have made the decision to update our full-year expectations based on our expectations for the Q4. Kaleyra is no exception to this challenging environment, and with the typical seasonality expected, we are anticipating our revenue for the Q4 to range between $86 million and $90 million, resulting in full year-over-year growth at 24% for 2022. This completes my financial outlook summary. I'd now like to turn the call back over to Dario to wrap up our remarks for the call. Dario? In summary, we are encouraged by our positive momentum in many strategic areas of our business as we look at Q4. While we were confronted with a broader global economic landscape that impacted our overall growth, we believe that we took meaningful steps forward in the Q3 that prepare us to take advantage of the future. We continue to invest in our omni-channel platform and partnerships while still driving profitability. Our product suite continues to grow in both depth and breadth, and the quality of our service is strong and trusted as ever. Our geographical footprint continues to expand into a healthy global balance that we will look to build on moving forward, especially with tier one mobile operators and enterprise customers. Our stride into new growth areas, including Kaleyra Video and Voice, along with promising results from the Campaign Registry, have continued to drive leverage into our operating model. As we finish out 2022, we do so with conviction in our long-term growth strategy, supported by a strong balance sheet and a healthy business fundamentals. We are confident that we have the team and the processes in place to remain agile in the face of challenging environment, and that our overall business remains very healthy. Above all, we look forward to driving sustainable value across our business as we advance along our journey to become the trusted partner in the massive and expanding CPaaS market. With that, we are ready to open the call for your questions. Operator, please provide the appropriate instructions. Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. To join the question queue, you may press star then one on your telephone keypad. You will hear a tone acknowledging your request. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing any keys. To withdraw your question, please press star then two. We will pause for a moment as callers join the queue. Our first question comes from George Sutton of Craig-Hallum. Please go ahead. Thank you. I wondered if you could address the normal seasonality that we would see in the business and, what we saw this Q3 and expect for Q4. Normally, we would see revenues kind of ramping up because of the seasonality. We would start to see volume discounts and Campaign Registry fees kick in and therefore influencing the margins. It doesn't look like we're seeing that, so I just wanna make sure I understood those dynamics. Hello, George. This is Dario. Thanks for the question. Well, our seasonality typically comes more from Europe than India because of the Christmas period and Diwali holiday. It's more a foreign thing rather than a U.S. domestic thing, which is in a way connects the fact. Now, if you consider that in Q4, if we would have used the same effects in Q3, if we would use the same effects of the previous year Q3, we would have made $4.7 million more. This is something that we have carefully weighed in our expectation about Q4. Yes, Campaign Registry continues to contribute, but it's not like skyrocketing. It's in line with Q3, and that's typically related to the seasonality of the campaign. Now, the future is future. We will see exactly what will happen in November and December when we will have that close. Gotcha. One other thing and now that we've lapped mGage, I understand the current environment is challenged, but when we look at long-term, say three-five-year organic growth goals that you have for the business, can you just walk through what those look like? Well, I'm not sure I got your question. In general, we do not segment any longer what is the legacy of Kaleyra and the legacy of mGage because basically the company is one company now, and we actively cross-sell internationally our reach to global customers coming from mGage in multiple jurisdictions that were the legacy of Kaleyra. Maybe Colin can add some color to this question. Yeah. George, that's an extremely difficult question to answer right now. Yeah, there's a range of outcomes as to what the growth potential is. I will tell you this, the desire for brands and customers, right? To want to connect to their clients is not going to disappear, right? That is what CPaaS is, right? You know, communication platform as a service. It will change and evolve into different channels, but the intent to want to communicate with your clients is always going to be there. Understand. Okay. Thanks, guys. Our next question comes from Michael Latimore of Northland Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Hi, I'm Vivek, in for Mike Latimore of Northland Capital Markets. I have a couple of questions with me. The first one is, how many employees do you have now, and what are your hiring plans for the next six months? At the moment, we are a little over 600 units, and we don't believe that we will increase significantly our headcounts in the next six months. Because of the need to become more efficient, the company is carefully weighing its growth plan. We will keep on investing in R&D technology, especially in our tech hub in India and in the Dominican Republic. We will keep on boosting our business development teams. Is this answering to your question? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yes, it did. The next question is, how much revenue did political traffic contribute? Oh, we do not segment or disclose. In the political traffic, basically, we had volume coming through in the last weeks of October because, September. September, I'm sorry. Basically we had to do some changes on our platform because the traffic resulted to be only 10-digit long code, and we were mastering the short code at Kaleyra and the legacy of mGage, which is not being used very much for political campaigns. It's more a 10-digit long code in play. Okay. I have one last question with me. Are new logo prospects taking longer to decide now? I'm not sure I get the question. No. If the new logo prospects are taking longer time to decide. Yes. In general, especially large enterprises are elongating a little bit the decision-making processes because, given the uncertainty, management, I would say, is weighing better and longer the decision of investments. Even though our services is an operating cost for our customers, basically, it's part of the overall digital transformation, and digital transformation requires investment. As a result of this situation, since also we are investing on business development, we are seeing an increasing consistency of our pipeline, and but sales cycle are not getting any shorter, are getting a little longer. That's it. Thanks. That's it from my side. Thanks. Thank you so much. Once again, if you have a question, please press star then one. At this time, this concludes our question and answer session. I would now like to turn the conference over to Mr. Calogero for any closing remarks. Thank you, operator, and thank you for joining us on today's call. As always, we would like to thank our extensive worldwide network of partners and investors, as well as our employees for their continued support. Operator. I would like to remind everyone that a recording of today's call will be available for replay via a link available in the investor section of the company's website. Thank you for joining us today for Kaleyra's third quarter 2022 earnings conference call. You may now disconnect.
