While we see some softness at the top of the funnel, we haven't noticed changes in sales cycles. We expect potential softness in new logos due to the uncertainty, but cross-sells remain robust. Q: Can you discuss the growth and customer profile changes in the consumer lending business? A: Larry Katz, President: Growth is driven by ACV release, both from cross-sell and new logos. Our platform is recognized as a leader, and we're seeing success with larger AUM clients, demonstrating the platform's scalability and value. Q: What are your expectations for the auto lending vertical in 2025, considering potential tariffs? A: Elias Olmeda, CFO: We anticipate 7% year-over-year growth in consumer lending, acknowledging uncertainty in auto lending. We saw some volume improvement, but we're cautious about potential pull-forward effects due to tariffs. Q: What is your approach to M&A given your current cash position and market conditions? A: Larry Katz, President: M&A is core to our strategy, focusing on tuck-ins, near adjacencies, and transformational deals. We have a strong balance sheet and are disciplined in evaluating opportunities, looking for the right deals at the right price.

Learn more at Operational Measures Definitions We reference bookings, which is an internal operational measure of the business. Bookings is defined as the minimum annual contracted value, or ACV, of newly sold capabilities of our software-as-a-service, or SaaS, products and professional services orders, inclusive of any corresponding fees owed to third parties. Bookings is a useful metric as it reflects the SaaS and services that have not been delivered. Management uses bookings to plan their go-to-market and services activities and inform product development efforts. We reference ACV and ACV release, which are internal operational measures of the business. In any given period, ACV represents the minimum annualized SaaS revenue commitment from fully activated contracts in effect for customers at the end of the applicable period. ACV release is the portion of ACV that is recognized as subscription revenue throughout the twelve-month period beginning on the date after our software solutions are fully implemented. ACV and ACV release are useful to investors in assessing the growth and trajectory of our business. ACV and ACV release are used by management in financial and operational decision-making. Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the financial measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin; non-GAAP operating income (loss); non-GAAP net income (loss); non-GAAP cost of revenue; non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses; non-GAAP research and development expenses; non-GAAP general and administrative expenses; and free cash flow. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Rather, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP financial results, provide investors with additional meaningful information to assess our financial performance and trends, enable comparison of financial results between periods, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics utilized internally in analyzing and operating our business. The following definitions are provided: Non-GAAP operating income (loss): GAAP operating income (loss), excluding the impact of share-based compensation, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, expenses associated with our public offering, restructuring related costs, expenses for services performed by third party consultants relating to efforts to remediate our material weakness, and third party acquisition related costs. Non-GAAP operating margin is Non-GAAP operating income (loss) divided by total GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP net income (loss): GAAP net income (loss), excluding the impact of share-based compensation, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, expenses associated with our public offering, restructuring related costs, expenses for services performed by third party consultants relating to efforts to remediate our material weakness, third party acquisition related costs, and the effect of income taxes, on non-GAAP items. The effects of income taxes on non-GAAP items reflect a fixed long-term projected tax rate of 24%. Non-GAAP net income (loss) margin is Non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by total GAAP revenue. The Company employs a structural long-term projected non-GAAP income tax rate of 24% for greater consistency across reporting periods, eliminating effects of items not directly related to the Company's operating structure that may vary in size and frequency. This long-term projected non-GAAP income tax rate is determined by analyzing a mix of historical and projected tax filing positions, assumes no additional acquisitions during the projection period and does not include the impact from the partial deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and takes into account various factors, including the Company's anticipated tax structure, its tax positions in different jurisdictions, and current impacts from key U.S. legislation where the Company operates. We will reevaluate this tax rate, as necessary, for significant events such as significant alterations in the U.S. tax environment, substantial changes in the Company's geographic earnings mix due to acquisition activity, or other shifts in the Company's strategy or business operations. Adjusted EBITDA: GAAP net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, expenses associated with our public offering, restructuring related costs, expenses for services performed by third party consultants relating to efforts to remediate our material weakness, and third party acquisition-related costs. Non-GAAP cost of revenue: GAAP cost of revenue, excluding the impact of share-based compensation, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, and amortization of developed technology. Non-GAAP operating expenses, including non-GAAP general and administrative, research and development, and sales and marketing costs: GAAP operating expenses, excluding the impact of share-based compensation, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, expenses associated with our public offering, expenses for services performed by third party consultants relating to efforts to remediate our material weakness, third party acquisition related costs, and depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, as applicable. Free cash flow: GAAP cash flow provided by operating activities less GAAP purchases of property and equipment (Capital Expenditures) and GAAP capitalized software additions (Capitalized Software). Reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial measures are available in the accompanying schedules, which are posted as part of this earnings release on our website. No reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided with respect to certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures as the GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis. We cannot reliably predict all necessary components or their impact to reconcile such financial measures without unreasonable effort due to market-related assumptions that are not within our control as well as certain legal or advisory costs, tax costs or other costs that may arise. The events necessitating a non-GAAP adjustment are inherently unpredictable and may have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

How much does food for Easter cost locally?

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – On Monday, Chicopee residents headed to their favorite local stores to pick out everything they need to prepare the perfect meal for Easter Sunday. Even though some foods are a bit pricier this time of year, people seem to be less worried about what they're paying and more worried about if there's enough in stores to be able to make what they need. Gas prices in Springfield fall 4.4 cents, now averaging $2.90 per gallon 'Prime rib, lamb, ham, and tenderloin–those are the four major meats that people are buying when they come into Arnold's Meats,' said Larry Katz, owner of Arnold's Meats. Despite inflation, people are coming in to buy what they need for Easter brunch or just a night at home. The average price for a dozen eggs statewide is $5.04. Katz said that those who come in are not as vocal about grocery prices, but rather about other factors in their lives. 'Customers are really speaking out about everything, not just food,' Katz said. 'They're speaking out about the prices of automobiles, and everything else that's going up. As far as our products, pork prices have actually dropped. Hams have stayed the same, and boneless prime rib is up a bit.' The average American who chooses to go out to brunch on Easter could spend anywhere between $30 to $100 per person. Cooking at home, while messier, is cheaper. Walmart is currently selling a family Easter meal that runs approximately $35. Some grocery chains around the region only allow for shoppers to buy one dozen eggs per shopping trip, but at Arnold's, that's not the case. 'Egg prices are dropping,' Katz said. 'People can buy as much as they want. We do sell to a lot of restaurants and schools, so people can buy as many as they want, we have plenty of eggs.' Arnold's Meats is open every day this week, except Easter itself. Locals said it's become a staple for last-minute shopping.
