Speaker #2: Bill.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Michelle, and good morning. I'll begin on slide I'll now turn the call over to quarter performance with sequential and year-over-year service revenue growth in both segments.

William B. Shepro: Thanks, Michelle, and good morning. I'll begin on slide four. We are pleased with our Q2 performance with sequential and year-over-year service revenue growth in both segments. Service revenue growth from customer wins has more than replaced the loss of a portion of the Rithm-related business as demonstrated by our more diversified customer base and growing Hubzu inventory. In addition to strong service revenue, we reduced outstanding debt and continued to deploy AI and other efficiency initiatives, which we anticipate will improve product development speed and EBITDA margins. We believe the continued ramp of sales wins and ongoing efficiency initiatives should drive roughly flat Q3 and higher Q4 adjusted EBITDA. Combined with continued sales wins, we believe this positions us well to achieve our Project 45 objective of $45 million in run rate adjusted EBITDA by Q4 2028. Turning to slide five.

Speaker #3: Service revenue growth from customer wins has more than replaced the loss of a portion of the rhythm-related business, as demonstrated by our more diversified customer base and growing HUBSU inventory.

Speaker #3: In addition to strong service revenue, we reduced outstanding debt and continued to deploy AI and other efficiency initiatives, which we anticipate will improve product development speed and EBITDA margins.

Speaker #3: We believe the continued ramp of sales wins and ongoing efficiency initiatives should drive roughly flat third-quarter and higher fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA. Combined with continued sales wins, we believe this positions us well to achieve our Project 45 objective of $45 million in run-rate adjusted EBITDA by the fourth quarter of 2028.

Speaker #3: Turning to slide 5, for the second quarter, we generated service revenue of $48.7 million a 19% increase over the second quarter of 2025 and an 8% increase over last quarter.

William B. Shepro: For Q2, we generated service revenue of $48.7 million, a 19% increase over Q2 of 2025. An 8% increase over last quarter. The increase over Q2 of last year was driven by 62% growth in the Origination segment and 8% growth in the Servicer and Real Estate segment. Despite the revenue growth, business segment and total company Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins declined quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to a non-recurring benefit realized in Q2 of 2025 related to a legacy matter in the Servicer and Real Estate segment, and higher costs to support revenue growth. This was partially offset by a Q2 2026 gain from the repurchase of $2 million of our term loan.

This was partially offset by a Q2 2026 gain from the repurchase of $2 million of our term loan.

Speaker #3: The increase over the second quarter of last year was driven by 62% growth in the origination segment and 8% growth in the service-earned real estate segment.

Speaker #3: Despite the revenue growth, business segment and total company adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins declined quarter over quarter, primarily due to a non-recurring benefit realized in the second quarter of 2025 related to a legacy matter in the Servicer and Real Estate segment, and higher costs to support revenue growth.

Speaker #3: This was partially offset by a second quarter 2026 gain from the repurchase of $2 million of our term loan. Moving to slide 6, gap pre-tax earnings in the second quarter were nearly break-even compared to $200,000 of pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2025.

William B. Shepro: Moving to slide six, GAAP pre-tax earnings in Q2 were nearly breakeven compared to $200,000 of pre-tax income in Q2 of 2025. Net cash used in operating activities was $6.6 million, almost all of which was driven by an increase in receivables from revenue growth. We ended the quarter with $23.2 million in unrestricted cash. Turning to slide seven and our countercyclical Servicer and Real Estate segment. Q2 2026 service revenue of $34.4 million increased by 8% from the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to growth from customer wins in the Hubzu, title, and trustee businesses, partially offset by a reduction of Rithm-related referrals. We anticipate service revenue from customer wins will continue to grow, as it should take several more quarters for this new business to stabilize.

Speaker #3: We anticipate service revenue from customer wins will continue to grow as it should take several more quarters for this new business to stabilize. Second quarter service-earned real estate segment adjusted EBITDA of $11.7 million decreased by 2% compared to the same quarter last year.

William B. Shepro: Q2 Servicer and Real Estate segment Adjusted EBITDA of $11.7 million decreased by 2% compared to the same quarter last year. The modest decline is primarily from a non-recurring benefit realized in Q2 of 2025, related to a legacy matter in the marketplace business, and 2026 Rithm-related EBITDA losses, which were largely offset by EBITDA growth from customer wins. We anticipate Adjusted EBITDA to grow as service revenue from these wins continue to ramp. We believe our performance demonstrates the strength of our platform and our resiliency in the face of Rithm-related losses. Slide eight summarizes our Servicer and Real Estate segment wins and pipeline. For the quarter, we won an estimated $5.2 million in annualized stabilized service revenue wins. In addition to these sales wins, we are particularly pleased with how quickly we are growing revenue from earlier sales wins.

Speaker #3: The modest decline is primarily from a non-recurring benefit realized in the second quarter of 2025 related to a legacy matter in the marketplace business and 2026 rhythm-related EBITDA losses which were largely offset by EBITDA growth from customer wins.

Speaker #3: We anticipate adjusted EBITDA to grow as service revenue from these wins continue to ramp. We believe our performance demonstrates the strength of our platform and our resiliency in the face of rhythm-related losses.

Speaker #3: In addition to these sales wins, we are particularly pleased with how quickly we are growing revenue from earlier sales wins. As shown at the bottom of this slide, we generated $9.1 million in second quarter revenue, or $36.5 million on an annualized basis, from sales wins since 2024.

William B. Shepro: As shown on the bottom of this slide, we generated $9.1 million in Q2 revenue, or $36.5 million on an annualized basis, from sales wins since 2024. We anticipate revenue and earnings from sales wins to increase as the year progresses. We ended the quarter with a Servicer and Real Estate segment estimated total weighted average sales pipeline of $8.2 million on a stabilized basis. Turning to slide nine and our growing Hubzu inventory. Hubzu inventory grew 30% in the last quarter to 22,300 assets from 17,200 assets at 31 March 2026. The inventory level is an important service revenue barometer because growing inventory should generate future revenue growth. For REO inventory, we generate revenue on those REO that are ultimately sold, which has been typically most of the REO inventory.

Speaker #3: For foreclosure auction inventory, we generate revenue on those foreclosures that ultimately reach foreclosure sale and are sold to a third party, which has typically been anywhere from 5% to 10% of foreclosure auction inventory, and at a higher level pre-COVID.

William B. Shepro: For foreclosure auction inventory, we generate revenue on those foreclosures that ultimately reach foreclosure sale and are sold to a third party, which has typically been anywhere from 5% to 10% of foreclosure auction inventory, and at a higher level pre-COVID. Moving to slide 10. Our Origination segment continued to build momentum. Q2 2026 service revenue increased 62% over Q2 last year, driven primarily by sales wins. Adjusted EBITDA declined as we invested in leadership and staff and incurred higher outside fees and services to support growth. Slide 11 outlines our Origination segment sales wins and pipeline. During the quarter, we secured an estimated $7.1 million in wins, primarily in Lenders One. We ended the quarter with a $20 million estimated weighted average sales pipeline.

William B. Shepro: We continue to be pleased with the Origination segment pipeline and sales wins, which we believe demonstrate the value that we bring to our customers. Based upon the onboarding of several sales wins, our sales pipeline, and forecasted market conditions, we anticipate service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to grow in our Origination segment. Turning to slide 12 and our growing revenue and customer diversification. We are executing well against our plan to grow revenue and reduce our dependence on Onity and Rithm. Q2 2026 total company service revenue grew by 19% over Q2 2025. Over the same period, revenue from customers other than Onity, Rithm, and those associated with Onity and Rithm's portfolios increased to 65% of total service revenue from 46%. As the year progresses, we anticipate these trends to continue.

William B. Shepro: This marks the company's highest percentage of service revenue from customers other than Onity and Rithm since Altisource went public in 2009. Moving to slide 13, I'd like to briefly discuss our AI and automation strategy. Over the last year, we have moved from evaluating AI to deploying it in practical, measurable ways across Altisource. Our priorities are clear: to enhance customer-facing capabilities, improve operating efficiency, support revenue generation, and accelerate software development. We have established a centralized AI enablement model to identify and scale high-impact use cases across the organization, while also applying AI-first software development across both new applications and major platform modernization efforts. These initiatives are already improving software development speed and productivity. We believe they will also help us scale more efficiently, reduce commercial off-the-shelf software costs, strengthen our software platforms such as Equator, Hubzu, and REALSynergy, and support the Project 45 growth initiatives.

Speaker #3: Turning to slide 14 and our corporate segment, second quarter 2026 corporate adjusted EBITDA loss was $7.9 million reflecting a $400,000 increase compared to the second quarter of 2025.

William B. Shepro: Turning to slide 14 in our Corporate segment. Q2 2026 Corporate Adjusted EBITDA loss was $7.9 million, reflecting a $400,000 increase compared to Q2 2025. The increase is largely due to the net impact of non-recurring items. Looking forward, we believe corporate costs should be more in line with Q1 2026 and remain relatively stable as revenue grows. Moving to slide 15 and the business environment. We are performing well despite low delinquency rates and origination volumes. 90-plus day mortgage delinquency rates slightly increased from 1.45% in December 2025 to 1.55% in May 2026. As of 31 May 2026, 90-plus day delinquent mortgages plus loans in foreclosure totaled 857,000, which represents a 28% increase from May 2025 and a 7% increase from December 2025.

Speaker #3: Moving to slide 15 and the business environment, we are performing well despite low delinquency rates and origination volumes. Ninety-plus-day mortgage delinquency rates slightly increased from 1.45% in December 2025 to 1.55% as of May 31, 2026. Ninety-plus-day delinquent mortgages plus loans in foreclosure totaled $857,000, which represents a 28% increase from May 2025 and a 7% increase from December 2025.

Speaker #3: Foreclosure starts for the first five months of 2026 were 14% higher than the same period in 2025, and foreclosure sales were 19% higher although both still remain significantly below pre-pandemic levels.

William B. Shepro: Foreclosure starts for the first five months of 2026 were 14% higher than the same period in 2025, and foreclosure sales were 19% higher, although both still remain significantly below pre-pandemic levels. For the origination market, Q2 2026 mortgage origination unit volume increased 9% compared to Q2 2025, driven by a 37% increase in refinance volume and a 4% decrease in purchase volume. The MBA projects 5.7 million loans will be originated in 2026, representing 4% growth over 2025. To conclude, in what continues to be a tough market, we are pleased with Q2's performance and the progress we are making against our strategic priorities. We grew service revenue, reduced outstanding debt, and continued to ramp recent sales wins that should support future growth.

Speaker #3: We grew service revenue, reduced outstanding debt, and continued to ramp recent sales wins that should support future growth. We are reducing Onity and Rhythm customer concentration and deploying AI with the objectives of improving efficiency and scalability, and positioning the company to benefit if delinquency rates or origination volumes increase from today's relatively low levels.

William B. Shepro: We are reducing Onity and Rithm customer concentration and deploying AI with the objectives of improving efficiency and scalability and positioning the company to benefit if delinquency rates or origination volumes increase from today's relatively low levels. We believe Altisource is becoming a stronger, more diversified, and more scalable company. I am proud of what the team accomplished and the progress we are making on our strategic initiatives that should drive durable value for our stakeholders. I'll now open up the call for questions. Operator?

Speaker #1: The first question comes from Timothy. D'Agostino with v. Raleigh Securities. Your line is open.

Speaker #2: Thank you, and good morning. Yeah, just a couple of quick questions on my end. First, it's great to see that HUBSU inventory continues to grow.

Timothy D'Agostino: Thank you, and good morning. Yeah, just a couple quick questions on my end. I guess first, it's great to see that Hubzu inventory continues to grow, and the 30% increase quarter-over-quarter is great. I guess, you talk about it as its future revenue growth, and I guess, while we look at foreclosure auction and REO inventory, could you maybe just provide some color on kind of how long it may take for inventory to transfer into revenue? Understanding between foreclosure and REO, it might have different timelines, but just getting a general sense of when that might become future revenue.

Speaker #2: And the 30% increase quarter over quarter is great. I guess, you know, you talk about it as it's future revenue growth. And I guess, while we look at foreclosure auction and REO inventory, could you maybe just provide some color on kind of how long it may take for inventory to transfer into revenue?

Speaker #2: Understanding the difference between foreclosure and REO, it might have different timelines. But just getting a general sense of when that might become future revenue.

Speaker #4: Yeah, hi, good morning, Tim. So we are starting to benefit from the inventory, but obviously it's in the early innings. Typically, when you receive an REO file, it could take anywhere from, let's say, 9 to 12 months to sell.

William B. Shepro: Yeah. Hi, good morning, Tim. We are starting to benefit from the inventory, but obviously it's in the early innings. Typically, when you receive an REO file, it could take anywhere from, let's say, nine to 12 months to sell. A lot depends, of course, if it's in a redemption state, if you have to go through an eviction process, et cetera. Generally speaking, let's say nine to 12 months. With respect to foreclosure starts, we typically receive the referral at the foreclosure start. I think on average, it takes around 12 months before it gets to the foreclosure sale. Of course, there's very wide variability around those timelines. There are certain states that take much longer, and there are certain states that are faster. Generally speaking, I think those are the averages.

Bill Shepro: Yeah. Hi, good morning, Tim. We are starting to benefit from the inventory, but obviously it's in the early innings. Typically, when you receive an REO file, it could take anywhere from, let's say, nine to 12 months to sell.

Of course, there's very wide variability around those timelines. There are certain states that take much longer, and there are certain states that are faster. Generally speaking, I think those are the averages.

Speaker #4: A lot depends, of course, if it's in a redemption state, if you have to go through an eviction process, etc. But generally speaking, let's say 9 to 12 months.

Speaker #4: And then with respect to foreclosure starts, or foreclosure referrals, we typically receive the referral at the foreclosure start. I think, on average, it takes around 12 months before it gets to the foreclosure sale.

Speaker #4: Of course, there's very wide variability around those timelines. There's certain states that take much longer and there's certain states that are faster. But generally speaking, I think those are the averages.

Speaker #2: Okay, great. So it's fair to say that the inventory wins in 1Q26, you know, still have runway to be realized as well on top of the 2Q wins, correct?

Timothy D'Agostino: Okay, great. It's fair to say the inventory wins in 1Q 2026 still have runway to be realized as well on top of the Q2 wins, correct?

Speaker #4: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

William B. Shepro: Absolutely. Yeah.

Bill Shepro: Absolutely. Yeah.

Speaker #2: Okay, great. That's great to hear. And then I guess on capital allocation, obviously 2 million you paid down $2 million the term loan. I guess, how do you think about capital allocation going forward?

Timothy D'Agostino: Okay, great. That's great to hear. I guess on capital allocation, obviously, you paid down $2 million of term loan. I guess, how do you think about capital allocation going forward? Do you continue to reduce debt? Just trying to get a better sense of how you plan to put cash to work.

Speaker #2: You know, do you continue to reduce debt? Just trying to get a better sense of, you know, how you plan to put cash to work.

Speaker #4: Yeah, sure. So I think under our debt agreements that we have in place today, we have the ability, I think, to buy back up to $3 million in purchase price a year of debt.

William B. Shepro: Yeah, sure. I think under our debt agreements that we have in place today, we have the ability, I think, to buy back up to $3 million in purchase price a year of debt. We view if we can opportunistically buy back some of that debt. By the way, it's subject to the first lien approval or the super senior term loan approval. If we have the opportunity to opportunistically buy back debt, we think that's a good use of cash, particularly when we're buying back at a discount. Otherwise, at this point, we want to continue to build the business, grow the revenue. We're very focused now. Now that revenue growth is growing and we've been able to mitigate the loss of revenue from Rithm and Onity, we're very focused on improving our margins as we set up for the Q4 of this year.

Bill Shepro: Yeah, sure. I think under our debt agreements that we have in place today, we have the ability, I think, to buy back up to $3 million in purchase price a year of debt. We view if we can opportunistically buy back some of that debt. By the way, it's subject to the first lien approval or the super senior term loan approval. If we have the opportunity to opportunistically buy back debt, we think that's a good use of cash, particularly when we're buying back at a discount.

Now that revenue growth is growing and we've been able to mitigate the loss of revenue from Rithm and Onity, we're very focused on improving our margins as we set up for the Q4 of this year.

Speaker #4: And so we view, if we can opportunistically buy back some of that debt, by the way, it's subject to the first lien approval or the supersenior term loan approval.

Speaker #4: But if we have the opportunity to opportunistically buy back debt, we think that's a good use of cash, particularly when we're buying back at a discount.

Speaker #4: Otherwise, at this point, you know, we want to continue to build the business and grow the revenue. We're very focused now—now that revenue growth is increasing and we've been able to mitigate the loss of revenue from Rhythm and Onity—on improving our margins as we set up for the fourth quarter of this year.

Speaker #4: So there's some more work we're going to be doing in the third quarter. We hope to have some improved margins going into the fourth quarter.

William B. Shepro: There's some more work we're going to be doing in the Q3. We hope to have some improved margins going into the Q4, and we want to continue to build the pipeline with stronger EBITDA margins to hopefully generate more free cash flow and put us in a very strong position over the next couple of years to ultimately refi the debt.

Bill Shepro: There's some more work we're going to be doing in the Q3. We hope to have some improved margins going into the Q4, and we want to continue to build the pipeline with stronger EBITDA margins to hopefully generate more free cash flow and put us in a very strong position over the next couple of years to ultimately refi the debt.

Speaker #4: And we want to continue to build the pipeline with stronger EBITDA margins to hopefully generate more free cash flow and put us in a very strong position over the next couple of years to ultimately refinance the debt.

Speaker #2: Okay, great. And I'm sorry if I could just sneak a final question in. It's obviously great to see that, you know, the customer diversification continues to, you know, excel.

Timothy D'Agostino: Okay, great. If I could just sneak a final question in. It's obviously great to see that the customer diversification continues to excel. I guess looking at the share of Onity and Rithm, is there like I don't know, maybe this is looking more too far into the future, but thinking about what percentage of service revenue Onity and Rithm might be going forward, will that continue to decrease? How little will that become as a percentage of the total, do you think, over time?

Speaker #2: I guess looking at the share of Onity and Rhythm, you know, is there like and I don't know, maybe this is looking more too far into the future, but thinking about like how much like what percentage of service revenue Onity and Rhythm might be going forward, like would that will that continue to decrease?

Speaker #2: And, you know, like how little will that become as a percentage of the total do you think over time?

Speaker #4: Yeah, so obviously it's difficult for us to forecast what happens with Onity's portfolio and how successful it is at growing its portfolio and how delinquent that portfolio is going forward.

William B. Shepro: Yeah. Obviously it's difficult for us to forecast what happens with Onity's portfolio and how successful it is at growing its portfolio and how delinquent that portfolio is going forward. If you look at Onity's portfolio today, Onity is still managing some of Rithm's assets, and as Onity has disclosed, those assets are being service transferred to Rithm, with the exception of there's about a $6.9 billion portfolio, which is subject to trustee and other approvals, which may or may not happen. There is a percentage of that portfolio which may remain with Onity for the foreseeable future.

Bill Shepro: Yeah. Obviously it's difficult for us to forecast what happens with Onity's portfolio and how successful it is at growing its portfolio and how delinquent that portfolio is going forward. If you look at Onity's portfolio today, Onity is still managing some of Rithm's assets, and as Onity has disclosed, those assets are being service transferred to Rithm, with the exception of there's about a $6.9 billion portfolio, which is subject to trustee and other approvals, which may or may not happen. There is a percentage of that portfolio which may remain with Onity for the foreseeable future.

Speaker #4: But if you look at Onity's portfolio today, Onity is still managing some of Rhythm's assets, and Onity has disclosed those assets are being service-transferred to Rhythm.

Speaker #4: With the exception of about a $6.9 billion portfolio, which is subject to trustee and other approvals that may or may not happen, there is a percentage of that portfolio that may remain with Onity for the foreseeable future.

Speaker #4: So we do anticipate that the Onity revenue that we're or the revenue we're generating from Onity's portfolios that are either being serviced or subserviced by sorry, the revenue we're generating from the Rhythm portfolios that are being serviced or subserviced by Onity will decline over the next couple of months.

William B. Shepro: We do anticipate that the Onity revenue or the revenue we're generating from Onity's portfolios that are either being serviced or sub-serviced. Sorry, the revenue we're generating from the Rithm portfolios that are being serviced or sub-serviced by Onity will decline over the next couple of months. We do think we are getting closer to the end than the beginning of this, and we should hopefully normalize from there. The bottom line is maybe some continued decline in Q3, and we think that should start to stabilize as we go into Q4. A lot just depends on Onity's growth after that.

Bill Shepro: We do anticipate that the Onity revenue or the revenue we're generating from Onity's portfolios that are either being serviced or sub-serviced. Sorry, the revenue we're generating from the Rithm portfolios that are being serviced or sub-serviced by Onity will decline over the next couple of months. We do think we are getting closer to the end than the beginning of this, and we should hopefully normalize from there. The bottom line is maybe some continued decline in Q3, and we think that should start to stabilize as we go into Q4. A lot just depends on Onity's growth after that.

Speaker #4: But we do think we are getting closer to the end than the beginning of this, and we should hopefully normalize from there. So, the bottom line is maybe some continued decline in the third quarter, and we think that should start to stabilize as we go into the fourth quarter.

Speaker #4: And then a lot just depends on Onity's growth. After that.

Speaker #2: Okay, great. Thank you so much for taking the questions today. I appreciate it.

Timothy D'Agostino: Okay, great. Thank you so much for taking the questions today. I appreciate it.

Speaker #4: Yeah, thanks, Tim.

William B. Shepro: Yeah, thanks, Tim.

Bill Shepro: Yeah, thanks, Tim.

Speaker #1: Thank you. And our next question will come from Shikhar Menko with Napier Park Global. Your line is open.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question will come from Shachar Minkove with Napier Park Global. Your line is open.

Speaker #5: Hey guys, thanks so much for taking the question. Working capital seems to have been a bit of a use this quarter. Just wondering if you can give me a sense of sort of what's driving that.

Shachar Minkove: Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking the question. Working capital seems to have been a bit of a use this quarter. Wondering if you can give me a sense of sort of what's driving that. Obviously, it looks like the receivables were a big use. Wondering if there's a trend there, or is this just sort of normal seasonality that we should be thinking about?

Speaker #5: Obviously, it looks like the. Right. Looks like the receivables were a big use. Wondering if there's something there's a trend there or is this just sort of normal seasonality that we should be thinking about?

Speaker #3: Yeah, I think it's associated with revenue growth. There's probably little seasonality, but we've had, you know, a fair amount of growth, and receivables have grown along with that.

Michelle D. Esterman: Yeah, I think it's associated with revenue growth. There's probably a little seasonality. We've had a fair amount of growth, and receivables have grown along with that.

Michelle Esterman: Yeah, I think it's associated with revenue growth. There's probably a little seasonality. We've had a fair amount of growth, and receivables have grown along with that.

Speaker #5: Okay, so this is just normal.

Shachar Minkove: Okay, this is just normal.

William B. Shepro: Nothing out of the ordinary from our perspective.

Bill Shepro: Nothing out of the ordinary from our perspective.

Speaker #4: From our perspective. Yeah.

Shachar Minkove: Yeah.

Speaker #3: Yeah.

Michelle D. Esterman: Yeah.

Michelle Esterman: Yeah.

Speaker #5: I mean, it's just normal revenue increasing, so therefore we're going to see some usage of, you know, growth in the receivables line.

Shachar Minkove: I mean, it's just normal revenue increasing. Therefore, we're going to see some usage of growth in the receivables line.

Michelle D. Esterman: That's right.

Michelle Esterman: That's right.

Speaker #3: That's right.

William B. Shepro: That combined with we spent about a million and a half to buy back some debt.

Speaker #4: And that combined with we spent about a million and a half to buy back some debt.

Bill Shepro: That combined with we spent about a million and a half to buy back some debt.

Speaker #5: Sure, sure. And so that doesn't seem like liquidity that will come back necessarily. Almost seems like as you grow, that will be a continued need.

Shachar Minkove: Sure. That doesn't seem like liquidity that will come back necessarily. Almost seems like as you grow, that will be a continued need. Is that the right way to think about it?

Speaker #5: Is that the right way to think about it?

Michelle D. Esterman: I think working capital fluctuates as we continue to grow. I think our receivables may grow in line, but we'll generate cash from receivables. It is seasonal as well.

Michelle Esterman: I think working capital fluctuates as we continue to grow. I think our receivables may grow in line, but we'll generate cash from receivables. It is seasonal as well.

Speaker #3: I mean, I think working capital fluctuates as we continue to grow, you know, I think our receivables you know, may grow in line, but, you know, we'll generate cash from receivables, you know, and it is seasonal as well.

Speaker #3: But because revenue grew, you would expect receivables to grow a little bit as well.

Shachar Minkove: Right. Okay.

Michelle D. Esterman: As revenue continues to grow, you would expect receivables to grow a little bit as well.

Michelle Esterman: As revenue continues to grow, you would expect receivables to grow a little bit as well.

Speaker #4: Yeah.

William B. Shepro: Yeah.

Bill Shepro: Yeah.

Speaker #5: Okay, but not something we should be too alarmed by.

Shachar Minkove: Okay, not something we should be too alarmed by.

Speaker #4: No, I'm not alarmed

William B. Shepro: No.

Bill Shepro: No.

Michelle D. Esterman: No, I'm not alarmed at it.

Michelle Esterman: No, I'm not alarmed at it.

Speaker #3: at it. No.

Speaker #5: With regard to liquidity, I mean.

Shachar Minkove: With regard to liquidity.

Speaker #4: Oh, sorry to interrupt.

William B. Shepro: Oh, sorry to interrupt.

Bill Shepro: Oh, sorry to interrupt.

Speaker #5: Yeah, just with regard to liquidity, I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t something that we should be more concerned about.

Shachar Minkove: No, just with regard to liquidity. Just wanted to make sure that wasn't something that we should be sort of more concerned around.

Speaker #4: No, not at all. And as we're still obviously early into the third quarter, but cash is already a building backup this quarter.

William B. Shepro: No, not at all. We're still obviously early into Q3, but cash is already building back up this quarter.

Bill Shepro: No, not at all. We're still obviously early into Q3, but cash is already building back up this quarter.

Speaker #5: Okay, great. Thanks so much.

Shachar Minkove: Okay, great. Thanks so much.
