Fourth Quarter Highlights (Fiscal 2023 versus Fiscal 2022)
- Net Revenue of $3.5 million;
- Services revenue of $1.1 million;
- Cloud services revenue increased 2% to $2.0 million;
- Gross margin decreased to 62.4%, compared with 63.8%;

"Fiscal 2023 was a pivotal year for Altigen during which we launched a number of new cloud solutions while integrating the ZAACT Consulting acquisition into the company", said Jerry Fleming, Altigen President and CEO. "We now have the foundation firmly in place for our new UCaaS and CCaaS solutions, enabling the rollout of these solutions to both current and new prospective customers. During the latter part of the year we also kicked off development of the first of several AI initiatives, principally targeting financial services institutions. In summary, I believe the company is well positioned to drive business growth as we head into fiscal 2024."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our core operating performance on a period-to-period basis. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation and amortization expenses, acquisition-related costs, change in deferred tax asset valuation allowance, litigation costs and other non-recurring or unusual charges or benefits that may arise from time to time that we do not consider to be directly related to core operating performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the core operating performance of our business and to perform financial planning. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results reviewed by management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by facilitating: (i) the comparability of our on-going operating results over the periods presented and (ii) the ability to identify trends in our underlying business.
