"We are thrilled to report yet another quarter of consistent growth in our recurring revenue, marking another consecutive quarter of year-over-year increases.", said Mike Robb, President and Chief Executive Officer of AirIQ. "As we change our focus to further increase recurring revenue through our promotion of the rental program, which drives a higher recurring revenue per unit as well as providing flexibility for our customers, we expect a continued transition away from one-time hardware revenue into a higher recurring revenue stream that includes both hardware rental and subscription services."

Mr. Robb continued, "We are confident that the strategic reinvestments into our sales and marketing will generate much higher returns and positions AirIQ well for long-term growth. Our reinvestment of increased recurring revenues will have an impact on our operating profit and net income in the near term, but our focus remains on building a robust foundation for future profitability and delivering value to our shareholders."
