Communications and Utility segment.

- In-market momentum has continued such that the months of May and June saw EBITDA

positive performance.

- From a market development perspective eight of the 15 largest communications and cable

customers in the U.S. market are now IKE customers or in pilots. We are focusing on revenue

expansion opportunities within these existing accounts as well as developing new pipeline sales

opportunities.

- An additional market opportunity for IKE Analyze was validated in the quarter specific to 5G

mobile network development. The 5G market opportunity in the U.S. is large and is expected

to grow significantly over the coming five or so years. This is additive to the very large fiber

market opportunity where IKE Analyze has established a clear value proposition.

- More generally, we are winning customers because the IKE platform enables networks to be

deployed faster, more cost effectively and with a higher quality data standard.”
