Hello, and welcome to the OMNIQ Corp Third Quarter 2023 earnings conference call. My name is Paul, and I will be coordinating your call today. With us on the call are Mr. Shai Lustgarten, Chief Executive Officer, and Niv Nissenson, Chief Financial Officer. Today's call is being recorded, and you should have access to the company's second quarter 2023 earnings press release, issued after the market closed yesterday. This information is available on the investor relations section of OMNIQ's website at www.omniq.com. During the course of this conference call, we will make certain forward-looking statements. All statements that address expectations, opinions, or predictions about the future are forward-looking statements. Although they reflect our current expectations and are based on our best view of the industry and our current expectations and our business as we see them today, they are not guarantees of future performance. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and since these elements can change, and in certain cases are not within our control, we would ask that you consider that and interpret them in that light. We urge you to review the company's Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and other SEC filings for a discussion of the principal risks and uncertainties that affect the company's business and performance, and the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. OMNIQ undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, unless required by law. Following the prepared remarks, the company will be taking questions as time permits. Now, I will turn the call over to Shai Lustgarten, CEO. Mr. Lustgarten, please go ahead. Thank you, operator, and good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us today to discuss our Q3 2023 financial results. To start, I'd like to thank each one of our employees across our entire company for their continued hard work and dedication to our vision and strategic plan. I especially want to thank our [Israeli employees], who are working hard despite the difficulties, and I also wanted to express my support and admiration to our employees who have been called up to the reserves to fight in the war. During today's call, I will share with you our financials, as well as give you an update on our business. For the benefit of our new investors and followers, I'd like to quickly give a brief overview. OMNIQ creates efficiencies by automating processes and actions using IoT and AI technology-based solutions. We provide multiple products, including state-of-the-art IoT equipment, to countless companies in the U.S. and internationally in several industries, including hospitals, food and drug chains, logistics centers, governmental agencies, and many others. We have a large and strong, loyal customer base, including many Fortune 100 and 500 ones, that have been partners with OMNIQ for 20 years. We play an important role in the AI sector, offering patented machine vision technology-based products, which enhance automation for parking, public safety, border control, and crime and terror prevention. To give you a better sense of our products and how they're utilized, here are a few examples. Our system has continually and consistently been selected time after time by militaries and governments. One of them is the Israeli security authorities, and we're proud to say that our deployed AI products helps to save lives on daily basis. Our systems are currently installed in the San Diego-Mexico border, the Texas-Mexico border, as well as other sensitive locations, to automatically detect drug dealers, stolen vehicles, criminals of any sort, and prevent their their exit and entry to the U.S. In addition, our systems are used in over 60 airports in the United States, including locations like JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Miami, Los Angeles Airport, and the Chicago Airport, just to name a few. In Israel, we're focusing on providing automation and efficiencies in different industries with our products, such as point-of-sale and payment processing to the government, hospitals, logistics centers, food and drug, convenience stores, and retailers, to name a few. Now, let's look at our recent third quarter and nine-month results. We had a drop in revenue, which was mainly attributed to the to the macro economy situation, affecting mainly consumer spending. Specifically, the revenue drop came from our U.S. IoT operations, selling to many of the world's largest companies, our Fortune 100 and 500 customers, whom were affected by the drop in consumer spending. While we remain confident in our mid- and long-term success, the opportunities ahead, the third quarter results of $17.5 million, representing a 35% decrease from Q3 2022, were negatively impacted by a delay in receiving large purchase orders for projects that we have already been awarded. Concurrent with the drop in sales, and as we have discussed in our previous calls, we are in the process of cutting costs that are already noticed by an approximately $2 million decrease in SG&A expenses for Q3, and $3.5 million decrease for the nine months ending September 30th, 2023, as compared to the same period of of 2022. We have also taken and continue to take additional cost-cutting measures, and this is something that we started already since January 2023. Also our number of employees decreased from 216 to 181 today, a total decrease of 35 employees, which is part of the cost cut plans. This was done by consolidating operations and cutting R&D and operations expenses related to product stabilization now that our product already deployed in thousands of locations. Our internal efficiency efforts should improve profitability soon. While seeing the quarter's top-line revenue decrease, OMNIQ continues its focus and advancement in achieving our 2023 objectives, focusing on increasing our AI product sales and market footprint, and executing our internal efficiency plans. All our AI products bring significant higher profitability. As we sell more AI products, this brings with it immediate higher profitability. We are further encouraged as our international sales of our AI and IoT products substantially grew for the nine months of 2023 as compared to 2022. We hope that we will begin to see the uptick in large purchase orders during the fourth quarter and going forward. Our focus continues to be on building sales in our higher margin AI products, growing our core business, and executing on our cost-cutting plans to lead the company to profitability. During the quarter, we made several significant announcements, including: we received a purchase order from the Israel Train Company to deploy our AI-based machine vision system, creating smarter and safer stations. This marks a great R&D and marketing achievement. Our systems will be used for crowd management, enabling safer and quicker train subway experience. We extended our partnership with TripShot to provide AI-based, unique, frictionless parking solution with a major technology company. We were selected for an approximate $50 million project to modernize the supply chain for one of the largest U.S. food and drug chains. Our AI-based machine vision equipment was selected to be deployed at the El Salvador International Airport. It's our first installation in Central America, in a Central American airport, and we hope to receive new orders soon. We announced a technological breakthrough, winning MOD, Ministry of Defense, performance competition for in-car face detection, adding to our machine vision AI solutions. This, the new feature is being requested by major security authorities and attracted immediate interest. We were awarded a multi-year IoT equipment supply contract for Israel's largest and newest logistics center. We announced the termination of the definitive agreement to acquire Tadiran Telecom. The cancellation was due to OMNIQ not being satisfied with the covenants that were not met at the closing date. We announced the closing of a public offering, raising approximately $3 million, strengthening our financial profile. Now, let me turn over the call to Niv, our Chief Financial Officer, who will go over the financial results in more detail. Niv? Thank you, Shai.

Now back to Shai. Thank you, Niv. To conclude, I would like to assure you that our technology offerings continue to be acquired by the most demanding customers in the world, and we're committed to achieving profitability while positioning the company for long-term growth. Operator, I would like now to turn the call over for questions. Thank you. At this time, we will be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. Once again, please press star one if you wish to ask a question today. Please hold while we pull for questions. The first question today is coming from Hila Piniewski. Hila is a private investor. Your line is live. Hi. Thank you, Shai and Niv. I know that you, as all Israelis, are facing tough times, and I would like to join you for your wishes to the soldiers and the people of Israel. Thank you, Hila. And, uh- Appreciate that a lot. Yes, and first, I would like to also express my trust in the company and its management. And this temporary drop is an opportunity to get out of it stronger, and I'm sure you will. Thank you. Okay, so now for my question. Thank you. Okay. So, can you please explain if the war has an impact on the company's results? So we did naturally have, as it started, we saw kind of delay in orders intake, but that was natural, of course, because the, the business, the businesses were adjusting to the new reality, to the new situation. We are seeing actually now a ramp-up, not only in the overall operations and order intake, but also we are seeing additional markets or industries that we are involved in, like hospitals and the medical industry, health and care. We see actually increased demand, which is very similar to what happened in COVID, during COVID years, where there were some industries that dropped, but actually ones that not only remained strong but grew, and that's how we were during COVID years. We're able to show growth in revenues at the end. We are affected, but we're not worried about it. Okay. I also saw Zebra, Zebra results, and I realized that they had a weak quarter as well. Do you have other suppliers? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, as we discussed on the call, when I was discussing earlier the macroeconomic situation, we see the... In the U.S., of course, all over the world, we saw the global inflation and everything, which affected immediate consumer spending, which our customers naturally are affected first, but also get out of it, get out of it, even first and very strong. So Zebra, one of the, I would say, larger OEMs in the market, they suffered as well as others. We do have, of course, and work with many other vendors, but the results, you saw them dropping similar percentages to what we felt and others in the IoT space in the U.S. That is something that everyone saw and felt. These were two difficult quarters in that sense, but we do, and as we discussed, those, not only we use other vendors as well, but we also are seeing a ramp-up now during the fourth quarter. Okay, that's, that's good. And then for my last questions, please, when do you think that we shall see the full impact of the cost cuts so far? We had already been showing the impact, so we starting last quarter in the immediate SG&A. We discussed that was done by mainly by the employee cuts that we've started, which of course we were able to do due to the fact these employees were more related to product stabilization. Now that we are deployed in thousands of locations and the products are more stable, we need less resources to support that. And that's how we were able to create these cuts, immediate cuts, which already started showing effect in Q2, continuing in Q3, and of course that's going to continue in Q4 as well, and allow us to show profitability very soon. Okay. Okay, that, that sounds great. Thank you so much, Shai. Thank you so much, Hila, for your support. Appreciate the concern. Of course. Thank you. Once again, it will be star one if you have a question at this time. The next question is coming from Richard Molinsky from Max Ventures. Richard, your line is live. Hey, Shai. How you doing? Hello, Richard. Good. How are you, Richard? Not too bad. Quick question: the orders that were delayed, did you expect in the fourth quarter to see those orders come through in the fourth quarter? Yeah. Yeah, we are seeing these orders are now coming back for delivery, and we are waiting for even more significant ones, and that is work in process, but we still, as we said, we're not concerned about our mid- and long-term plans. Thanks. I've also noticed, you've exercised warrants in the company from $4, I've noticed, down to 120- down to, like, $1.20, $1.40, I think it was. How much money have you put into the company on exercising the warrants, and have you sold any of those shares, dollar amount, approximately? If you don't mind me asking. Well, yeah, no, no, I haven't sold even one single share. I don't even have my shares registered anywhere to be able to do that. As you know, I'm fully invested in this for the long term and believe in the company. And as you mentioned, I've been exercising a lot and continue to do that. And we're talking about a lot of millions of dollars which I've already done. Right. And the average price on those shares, are they at, you know? Would you say do you know the average price, approximately, so the investors know? Yeah, it ranges between, you know, $1-$6 even. Okay. And more. We have disclosures of a recent essay, and in all disclosures, there are places which mention the options. Yeah, no, I, I saw that. I thought the average was like, I thought the average. was, like, almost, like, [$2.50] a share, and we're trading at, you know, $0.58 a share. So, you know, you know- Well, all of the options are- I got confidence. Yeah, that you exercised. Terrific. Well, I appreciate it. I know you're gonna turn it around, and it seems like, you know, going forward, we're gonna see it. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you, Richard. I appreciate your support. Thank you. There were no other questions in queue at this time. I would now like to hand the call back to Shai Lustgarten for closing remarks. Thank you, operator. Again, I would like to thank all of our employees. I'd like to thank our vendors, partners, and, of course, the investors, and your support. We are devoted to executing our objectives of focusing on our AI footprint, which we're seeing increased sales year over year, quarter over quarter. We're selling more, we're seeing more demand for AI products, which bring with it the significant higher margins. We are focused on our core business, which suffered in Q2 and Q3 and brought down the revenue, but we're seeing the increase in Q4 already, and are not worried on our mid- and long-term objectives. And we are, of course, focused on the objective of getting into profitability very, very soon. This is, as we declared, starting January 2023, this is an objective of the company, regardless of any other situation, and that is something that we are working diligently on every day. Altogether, this is gonna make OMNIQ, not only turn it around, but make OMNIQ an amazing, great company, for everyone, to look at and interest. So, I thank everyone for your support and looking forward to talk to everyone on our next call. Thank you. Thank you. This does conclude today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
