Expansion in Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA rose to USD 105 million in Q3FY25 from USD 65 million in Q3FY24, reflecting a 62% YoY increase
Strong Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased to USD 165 million in Q3FY25, compared with USD 129 million in Q3FY24 (+28% YoY)
Limited Progress Toward Resolution of Video Enforcement: While video-related ARR increased, video services remain a relatively small component at USD 97 million ARR in Q3FY25 versus USD 65 million CE/IoT contribution in Q3FY24, highlighting a slower monetization profile relative to smartphones
Higher Share Count Dilutes EPS Base: Weighted average dilutive shares increased to 30.6 million in Q3FY25 versus 27.6 million in Q3FY24, indicating a higher share count that reduces per-share leverage
