speaker
Joel Leetzow
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Alex, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. It's been just under three months since I've joined Syllogist as CEO. During that time, I've spent a great deal of time with our employees, customers, partners, board, and shareholders, assessing the strengths of the business and where we need to improve. What I've seen has reinforced my confidence in Syllogist's long-term potential. It has also confirmed that we have more work ahead of us. Our second quarter results reflect both encouraging progress in areas that require improvement, SaaS subscription, Revenue grew 5% year-over-year, SAS ARR grew 6%, and our adjusted EBITDA margin improved sequentially from the first quarter. At the same time, total revenue declined 6%, SAS Net Revenue retention was 99%, and project services performance was below where it needs to be. These results reinforce the priorities that we have established. We need to improve execution, strengthen our product portfolio, invest in the customer experience, and operate with greater discipline. Following years of investment, Syllogist has a strong base of mission-critical cloud products. Our job now is to translate those assets into more consistent, recurring revenue growth, stronger retention, and improved profitability. In June, we announced optimization initiatives intended to sharpen our customer focus, and strengthen capital allocation. As part of those changes, I assume direct leadership of the sales organization. We are bringing greater accountability to how we position our products, pursue opportunities and deliver successful customer outcomes. Project services performance is not where it needs to be. Project services revenue declined 20% in the quarter and associated gross margin fell to eight. We are taking direct action to improve delivery, utilization, and accountability. Partners remain important to our scalability and market reach, but we will selectively retain project services where doing so improves customer outcomes, supports ARR growth, and delivers appropriate margins. The objective is straightforward. Our products must be positioned to win and our customers and partners must have the resources required to deliver a high quality experience. With that, I'll turn it over to Sujeet to walk you through the detailed financial results for the quarter and first half. Sujeet.
