There were a number of large, legacy companies with bankruptcies and or restructurings during the quarter which reinforces what has been a fundamental tenet to our company. That is, that this market is ripe for digitalization and disruption and those that do not adapt will fall aside. These results underscore the dedication and hard work of our exceptional team, as we continue to focus on segments with demonstrated strength and an openness to new technology. As we move forward, we remain committed to being a pioneer in the digitalization of the largest commercial border on the planet."
