Q&A highlights

Q: In June, you guys estimated you had about $17 million of remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months. Have you given any update or is there any color around how that looked at the end of the quarter?

A: Yeah, firm subrogation stayed about the same as they were in the previous quarter.

Q: Have you guys experienced any new attrition due to some customers being acquired?

A: This is Max. There hasn't been any notification of new clients, but the notice we were notified last quarter takes place several months later. So we see that impact starting in Q1 of '24, but there's no new terminations due to that.
