Q & A Highlights

Q: As we approach 2025, can you provide some guidance on how we should think about the 2025 growth range for B2B2C revenue? A: Erez Raphael, CEO: We have around 25 new clients this year, which is more than a 30% increase in our client base. While we are not providing precise guidance, we expect to reach a $50 million run rate by the end of next year, which will make the company operationally cash flow positive.

Q: The B2B2C revenue stepped up sequentially this quarter. Should we continue thinking about the annual range of $8 to $9 million as the continued range going forward? A: Erez Raphael, CEO: On the B2C side, we are looking at an $8 million range, which should remain stable. For B2B2C, we are projecting a growth of 50% to 70% in revenues this year.

Q: Can you share what you estimate each of the new Pharma customers can contribute, particularly the large Pharma customer? A: Steven Nelson, Chief Commercial Officer: We have a range for these accounts, from $500,000 to $5 million, depending on their goals and scale. We are working to convert milestone-based contracts to platform fees for more predictable revenue.

Q: Do the prior Pharma partners remain on track under the legacy model? A: Steven Nelson, Chief Commercial Officer: We aim to convert existing contracts to more stable, predictable revenue models. The goal is to eliminate revenue lumpiness and achieve a healthier revenue mix.

Q: What are the key levers for OpEx improvement, and how do you plan to grow on a more stable OpEx base? A: Erez Raphael, CEO: We have absorbed an entire organization with minimal increase in OpEx. We expect to reach a $41 million run rate by Q1 2025. We've strategically shifted budget from R&D to sales and marketing, focusing on revenue growth with existing assets.
