Arthur L. Smith, CEO of Digerati, commented, "Our nine months year-to-date results were strong even before completing the full integration of multiple operating entities in May 2023. We will end our fiscal year with an integrated platform branded as Verve and optimized for scaling via organic and/or acquisition growth. The full operational integration included combining people, processes, and systems that resulted in single billing, ticketing, CRM, and accounting systems." Smith, continued, "As we go into our final quarter, we are back at record levels of sales and new installed revenue. This will help offset revenue loss in the 3(rd) quarter due to the winding down of legacy revenue streams, closed customer accounts that did not meet our profitability objectives, lost revenue due to Hurricane Ian, and the closing out of legacy cancelled accounts from previous acquisitions." Antonio Estrada, CFO of Digerati, stated, "As of May, our plan of integrating the operations of our previously closed acquisitions is now behind us and deemed a success. I commend our team for successfully executing our integration playbook. In addition, we are now hitting our stride on sales and service delivery and look forward to sharing our progress with shareholders over the coming months and quarters."
