"The use of mystery shopping and customer experience measurement programs appears to be increasing as companies seek information to help them bridge the gap between customer expectations and current levels of customer service.  In fact, customer service levels have been a topic of concern since service-based industries came out of the pandemic into a difficult labor market.  We are focused on taking advantage of the evolving environment and capturing future organic growth as we work with prospective clients to launch major programs in 2025," said Cameron Watt, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

"We have shifted some of our focus away from previously announced growth and towards EBITDA and profitability in response to market conditions and expectations.  There will be short-term financial pressures as we integrate Alta, adjust the Ardent delivery model, and continue investing to prepare the organization for future growth. We remain committed to managing the business carefully, balancing growth and fiscal diligence," said Watt.
