As we discussed, when we provided our outlook for the evolution of our customer relationships, these will move from transactional data licenses to a more subscription-based model that generates recurring revenues. Moving our business in this direction generated ARR of $4.5 million, which was up 46% when compared to last year.

Our first question today is coming from Jeff Mueller from Baird. Your line is now live. Yeah, thank you. So, totally understand why revenue is not the best metric at this point, and you give us various other metrics, but the one I'm struggling with reconciling is ARR.

OK, and then on traffic.

So naming Microsoft, which you've named in the past, and Amazon Flex as customers, obviously.

So gaming Microsoft Richard named in the past and Amazon Flex as customers, obviously, some great logos.

some great logos. And I guess one question that we continue to get is just within traffic.

And I guess one question that we continue to get is just within traffic why we Jo how are they different including relative to providers.

Why WIJO, how are they different, including relative to providers like Google Ways? So what type of incremental information do you have, what types of sensors data do you bring in beyond kind of just location or accelerometer and help us understand the development of the RTTI solution?

Like Google ways, So what type of incremental information do you have what types of sensors data do you bring in beyond kind of just location or accelerometer and help us understand.

The development of the RTP isolation.

Yes.

So this is the proxy, so we've got sensors such as seatbelt and deployment, which is a great proxy for measuring traffic.

So we've got centers, such as seatbelt and deployment, which is a great proxy.

Measuring traffic.

But there's other sensors as well, including radio station changes that we also get now. But you shouldn't underestimate the fact that we real-time process all data. You know, that's why we're working with more than Microsoft as a client provider. We mentioned in Rix and that call now, and that call as well as recall as other examples, there are other mapping providers we work with and traffic providers we work with that we don't mention.

But.

So the fences as well, including radio station changes that we also got now.

But you shouldn't underestimate the fact that we will time process all data.

That's why we are working with more of the Microsoft.

I will provide a we mentioned and mix not coal now not coal as well as recourse. Other examples there are other that can provide as we work with in chocolate products, we work with that.

We don't mention.

None of them do complete real-time processing of data. It's a huge heavy lift that only Weijo does. So the most, and we receive data 95% of roads every day, the fact we can identify real-time congestion on any road in any parts of the US, at any point in time is a huge value.

None of Us do.

<unk> real time processing of data, it's a huge heavy lift that any huizhou does so the nice thing that we received 95% at various everyday.

We can identify real time congestion on any road.

Asset.

At any point in time is a huge value add for us we benchmark our congestion analysis that says the key leading Matt can provide us.

We benchmark our congestion analysis versus the key, the leading mapping providers out there. And we show consistently, even versus as you mentioned, ways, we show consistently that our congestion analysis is a much higher quality and a much more accurate result than anything out there because of our real time processing. So it's not just a sense of availability, it's the heavy lifting of processing today over 13 trillion data points and over 17 billion a day.

We show consistently even versus as you mentioned ways we showed consistently.

I'll conjecture analysis is a much higher quality at a much at a much much more accurate result, but anything on that because of our real time processing. So it's not just a sense of visibility if the heavy lifting of processing to date I would say, it's interesting data point 717 billion a day.

But other senses include the fact that because we are, because we don't rely on mobile data, our accuracy means we lane index as well. So, whereas you can't do that with a mobile data asset. So, because we said CurePlay is a connected vehicle, electric vehicle and autonomous vehicle data asset, it provides a much higher outcome, high quality outcome.

But other census include the fact that because we are because we don't really I may about data accuracy means we laid index as well.

You can't do that with mobile data I'll say, so because we expect youll players as the connected vehicle that you based on alternative data.

<unk> said it provides a much higher higher outcome <unk> outcome.

Okay, and then on the insurance end market as you mentioned, there's other players that are Tac UBI and in other ways. So I guess just first how.

Okay, and then on the insurance and market, as you mentioned, there's other players that attack UBI and in other ways. So I guess just first, how is your data superior just for UBI and then help us understand what's all included in the broader end to end solution. It sounds like there's some claims and fraud prevention. That's part of it as well.

As your data superior just for UBI, and then help US understand what's all included in the broader end to end solution. It sounds like there's some claims and fraud prevention, that's part of it as well.

Yeah, so we so we call it end-to-end insurance deliberately. And that's because we believe the biggest area we're going to well, biggest area we are seeing traction from the insurance industry is UBI is is plain vanilla. It's become commoditized in industry. There's arguably there's very little difference between any of the providers out there in terms of how they score driving behavior. The big saving of industry is is the estimated claim shrinkage of between eight and 12 percent of all claims costs.

Yes.

We call it and fund insurance deliberately and Thats, because we believe the biggest sorry.

<unk> biggest thing we are seeing traction from insurance industry is <unk> is plain vanilla rates become commoditized and industry arguably there's very little difference between any of providers out there in terms of how they score driving behavior. The biggest savings are industry.

The estimated claim shrinkage of between eight and 12% of all claims cost which is in the U S. Atlanta at $10 billion saving.

which is in the US alone at a $10 billion saving.

With our data, we can help insurers have earlier intervention, have quicker recovery, that reduces the tow cost, that reduces the storage cost.

Our data we can help insurers have earlier intervention, how quicker recovery that reduced the tow costs that reduced storage costs and then in terms of the data you're getting from vehicles have example manufacturers.

And then in terms of data we're getting from vehicles, so for example, there's certain motor manufacturers where we can identify real-time panel damage, we can identify real-time parts failures, and that means in terms of the supply chain of getting parts delivered to body shops for vehicles to be repaired, we actually shorten, significantly shorten,

We can identify real time panel damage. We can real time, we can identify realtime pausanias that means incentives of the supply chain is getting a getting parts of the body shop's Baker, Steve or Pat we actually shorten.

Definitely shorten.

the repair times of vehicle, which again, reduces the credit high cost of the insurance provider, as well as potentially reducing other parts costs that may well be inaccurately identified in a manual sort of process.

We've had tons of acre, which again, we Jason set of credit high cost insurance provider as.

Essentially what you're saying.

Policy cost that may will be.

And Im not currently identified in the manual sort of process.

That's why we were in final discussions with one of the largest U.S. insurance carriers who haven't done UBI or telematics insurance before and why our relationship with Sompo has matured so much in the last quarter alone, never mind since they became investors last year.

That's why we are in final discussions with one of the largest U S insurance carriers they haven't done.

<unk> or telematics insurance before.

And why our relationship with Sunpower has matured very much.

And the last last quarter. Nevertheless, since they became investors last year.

Thank you all for joining our call today as you'll see.

We've shown cyclically more contracts being added.

The total contract value, we've shown that we are deploying more and more products that leverage our dominant position of being the only pure real time provider of traffic information, but I'll say that but I will say we've added further Oems to our client base. So we know as John mentioned, we have 24 Oems tier ones. The fleet partners, where we have an interest.

We've shown that we're deploying more and more products that leverage our dominant position of being the only pure real-time provider of traffic information, but also we've added further OEMs to our client base, where we now, as John mentioned, we now have 24 OEMs, tier ones, and fleet partners, where we have an industry-leading position of over 16.9 million vehicles on platform, which we receive data from.

Leading position of over $16 9 million vehicles on platform, which we received data from where in a market leading position with scaling our business and we're happy with the guidance <unk> given state and we look forward to meeting and various of the calls on our next earnings call.
