Q: Can you provide an update on the pipeline, especially given the recent strong contract win rate? A: The pipeline is dynamic and can be lumpy, but we've seen a strong replenishment rate. Following RSNA, we've had a material number of new opportunities, and we're pleased with how the pipeline is progressing. (Respondent: CEO, Dr. Sam Huppert) Q: Are there any plans for partnership agreements with AI companies like Harrison AI? A: Harrison AI is not a competitor. We see AI algorithms coming from three sources: developed in-house, co-developed with research partners, and third-party. Harrison AI would fall into the third-party category, and we are open to integrating best-in-breed solutions onto our platform. (Respondent: CEO, Dr. Sam Huppert) Q: Can you explain the revenue growth drivers between the first and second half of the year? A: Revenue growth will accelerate in the second half due to the full six months of revenue from Baylor Scott White and Oregon Health and Science, as well as new implementations like Nationwide and Nicholas and Moffat. Margin expansion will also continue, with RSNA costs not recurring in the second half. (Respondent: CFO, Clayton) Q: What factors contributed to securing the cardiology contract, and what makes this package attractive? A: Winning the cardiology contract involved convincing cardiologists of the product's benefits, which include features specific to their needs. This contract serves as a key reference and learning site, demonstrating the product's capabilities beyond radiology. (Respondent: CEO, Dr. Sam Huppert) Q: How does the Trinity Health contract split in terms of archive, work, and migration costs? A: The contract is split with approximately 60-65% for viewers, 25% for archives, and the remainder for worklists. Data migration will start in the second half, with most revenue building up over the 18-month implementation period. (Respondent: CFO, Clayton) Q: Can you elaborate on the pipeline conversion rate and how it compares to previous periods? A: The last two months have seen unprecedented conversion rates, with about $485 million converted from pipeline to contract. Historically, we've never converted such a high dollar value in any six-month period. (Respondent: CEO, Dr. Sam Huppert) Q: How do you manage staff retention amid significant company success? A: We focus on multi-skilling, client exposure, and ethical work, which keeps employees engaged. We also offer equity through LTI schemes, contributing to staff satisfaction and retention. (Respondent: CEO, Dr. Sam Huppert) Q: Are there any plans to increase dividends in the future? A: Our current guideline is to distribute roughly 50% of retained earnings as dividends. We reassess this every half-year, balancing it with the need for investment flexibility.
