Data from management accounts, not subject to a BoD resolution, unaudited. Annual Recurring Revenue is calculated as the sum of unterminated annual subscriptions active as of March 2024 and 2023. Monthly subscriptions are annualized (multiplied by 12). Subscriptions represent recurring revenues: they do not include professional services, SMS traffic, and other services sold on a one-off basis, whereas they include usage fees such as API calls, image hosting and additional users with a recurring pattern (March 2024 estimates). ARR is not comparable with historical CPaaS sales below.
