Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026
- These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” or “intend” and similar expressions.
- We believe Gen AI will fundamentally change the way companies operate as well as the way consulting services are sold and delivered.
- We believe the Gen AI platform capabilities we have developed in AI XPLR which were expanded with ZBrain, which we acquired as part of the LeewayHertz acquisition, is highly differentiating and we expect will enable us to effectively compete in this emerging and important space.
- Any deterioration in the current macroeconomic environment or economic downturn as a result of weak or uncertain economic conditions due to inflation, high interest rates, tariffs, national or geopolitical events or other factors impacting economic activity or business confidence could adversely affect our clients' financial condition or outlook which may reduce the clients' demand for our services.
- These costs were primarily employee-related costs, as the Company reduced staff to be commensurate with current market demand and the leverage of our Gen AI delivery platforms are expected to have on our service offerings.
