Q3 EPS came in at ($0.06), better than the Street estimate of ($0.22). Revenue was $66.7 million, beating the Street estimate of $64.22 million, with the help of increased Services revenue contribution from related party Baker Hughes, and on operating margin as the company took steps to prudently manage OpEx spending (down 8% year-over-year).

Looking forward, the company didn’t provide formal revenue guidance for 2024 but reiterated that it is tracking in line to slightly better than the initial plan laid out two quarters ago that called for revenue growth of 30% year-over-year in 2024.
