Sunny Sanyal

Sunny. [inaudible] Larry, you is and give To on this geography. front Yeah, by color

these [Audio into there, that equipment that are components reminder the making capital imaging Gap] First these go the and equipments. OEMs

continued bubble all saw a demanded CT third strong to CT the in of continued quarter, as the first year, still process. CT of on. quarter in we fact in in height the So the now during active second terms pandemic, the stay and throughout has whole has we this through in the and seen then modalities, We’ve of said,

consistent modality up It's Where the uptick XXXX the it’s what volumes return encouraging in to equipment These with for geography. tender used a say now of in little our – markets hearing modalities. U.S. levels, starting in – elective are the great, a know they normal. starting ticking markets, is CT our hasn't calling as flavor to is you still U.S. that mammography. China that the rapidly yet that's globally to a in a there some a you that is purchasing and story surgery as down and So by are see the was our continued is Asia activity, What are and volumes confident major seeing from to Radiographic been it's bubble. if is for recall, including of comments – followed and has are by activity, with its some back behind CT hopefully there's buying customers oncology, that significant saw the dental that is also are starting up-tick. behind. projection normalcy. for let’s be, and Europe certain cap There farthest off but that what does customers versatile drop normal bubble see the settle probably demand. question been cardiology, is on demand procedure behind procedural they that we're headed There slowly volumes on. emerging activity, are is so are is farthest hospitals, was been us and and has China of – that. we’ve capital the actually a what significant to it fairly will which quote that they when America, people type are hearing your volumes consistent towards making and Rest The Europe in them to dental you and in – came those like but that and markets back Latin is the is, what see it’s well,

customers, for our products, amount represents U.S. you the for rest for the know of value market country's some customers, markets, back, us, the they're our segment coming it's the of the while products. largest still of high-end most us emerging For and

part that's the color. I I the you So recovery speed a unknown. lot depends gave The of on enough recovery. hope is

- So and by by modality. we’ll proceed geography us for

Larry Solow

COVID hospitals issue will really happen on obviously under to an anymore, effect. know which next hospitals mentioned six even unlikely have you in visibility? with the know You any OEMs, spend the not months. procedures, And probably only if XX obviously will will in until continued sort you demand, pressure hopefully is the of remain knock improvement

are under hospitals there a where is possibility So of a lot pressure. financially

So extended even a time below for budgets remain in well an period world. of normal post-COVID

Sunny Sanyal

– that’s unfortunately I possible. our murky. mean don't is a We on ball crystal have that Larry,

given our conduct we customers won’t that a global that think However, story. be globally, business

think lot of will there that – I global variability globally. in a be out how plays

also based entirely hospital not budgets, are budgets right. the So

budget, there's a dental of lot mammography of outpatient physician and equipment most physician offices So dental, the into offices. goes

a if we see So, up will light modality capital purchasing switch on. of being based versus ratcheting thrown equipment

staying this So very and you as know, supply we are the close on ahead we’re to very, chain of the chain, value front.

So than I'm that perhaps may earlier some optimistic of trends see of will that little these a the we – shipments you equipment. bit actual

Larry Solow

Okay, fair enough.

two Just something. I detrimental of – margin. margin a on sequentially like more obviously just then or mix quick overhead. the think you the question The gross and drop, one mentioned was Clarence monitored the on XX% drivers

higher quarter even than worst. sounds I It be, because this somewhat I it know probably So thought was would already by QX mix. like was impacted

XX% or was had categories, you those if of overhead it a close even? or contraction in bucket, to two that – more to was the mix trying Just both

Sam Maheshwari

Yeah you margin. I'll bit mind, don’t the Larry, XX% from if of gross margin last little walk XX% a non-GAAP just gross a through go maybe of to year's

Larry Solow

fine. That’s

Sam Maheshwari

[Cross Okay. Talk]

P&L in we of were was there did was – treated we significant adjustments non-GAAP have been not as but non-GAAP, that increase costs. that would items time then one is some of And some an tariff and treated revaluation as some profile, treated on some volume changing freight on there did in a they non-GAAP. the that expense get though So as even also not and adjustments based we nature, be assets and had also reserves that that an inventory additional some

freight, mean lot know say Somewhat recently. freight, margin. The points, and productivity, you up is advance costs roughly intercompany the kinds of those gone one and – the a three time lower movement so less of of The those then freight change part I just points and of the inbound well, of eight absorption, be would is about I'd have going – Santa is and gross mostly because points in is balance a Clara of three to it. as probably overhead it complicating mix, the bit of two that the last to the little remaining point that's of I put swing due combination mix

So five call to important is I guess three some is to mix, advance. points unusual it it's is, to points tied either let’s tied the other things that but tied one-time volume more fairly or

Larry Solow

that’s Okay, now useful color.

exiting were of less that exiting. some products question more years gross was you're you detector this seems you Just you markets some side end impacting are products getting, the on products it or of your or like margin you last of guys are that stuff think actually money? Is lower on these the know I know and losing

Sunny Sanyal

Yes, so these detector mostly – Larry, products. these are

You electronics upgrade frequent with in more NPI faster products know these cycle. are and models

to productivity and – of know to deciding us with led the and replacement our shut and took we them get that work our have you to products and customers help at in for down. which that'll products a variety to looked to And them So cost them older the we different this opportunity go future. actions them us with to structures back

Larry Solow

line, exiting opposed whole you down. more product So of a actually just as it know narrowing your rationing skews it’s the to

Sam Maheshwari

right. exactly That’s

just generally to products, wile?’ were determination products. the worth would they associated looked they demand say with as they of on very margin are it fundamentally, COVID, we us the at speaking, So because – the not. products outlook and were look enough there lower losing actually ‘is low based not volume and there at I say, made but made these be money

from a point of little a kind but the sure that bit little it bit that’s help is not should the I'm help impact, I huge other a on think margin think us I it that forward. key it's profile perspective. does going

Sunny Sanyal

Okay, great. Thanks again.

Operator

comes Petrone Jefferies. with the question Anthony Our the next line from of

may You with your question. proceed

Anthony Petrone

off million, and is the Thanks would on with of million fourth $XXX It I I the last and there don’t mentioned pick to Shubham run second revenue run the what’s I follow-ups. question departure the here. revenue to on rate friendly group you $XXX the again know if rate was The actual much working of that couple to and great have a Clarence. is reflected you I'll one. welcome how products? and need the quarter, be, for the discontinued guidance in a

Sam Maheshwari

you and an quarter a don't that number in of a just is low. bit that million so for it's, know you and they're it's the in answer of – kind have little than it's products discontinued the reason It's they – it's that less I'm of speculate going on that of number. I margin are because I’d say the part with those to was exact revenue the a low $X volume, products, low associated but kind

mean small I on that. pretty a it's impact So

was I a So anything that think factor in the major for terms outlook QX. of in don't

Sunny Sanyal

Anthony, in subsequent models products, way a cases, because the are of it evens these a out. lot of there

With time volumes COVID, to – us get can the it the we to sunset, life due extra strategies through customers gives to execute with our them of – here. lowering to the of work end these

customers models. help and there there's volume installed back the with service stream not to our base you and be typically wouldn't low take the go So a of these work them know customer and for products is on to loss, the our newer customers a support are loss, into revenue opportunity

Anthony Petrone

end when here, sit, a million helpful broadly, end. to what in if I we No, range, low sort your the wondering, high-end you next that's of the just – toward have the in various just geographies them to to the then the to. that’s from range are as low if number XQ, you gets what the that and And as you OEMs hospitals question high of helpful. tone pressed which background But maybe on capital spread know you we, and adjust drivers in think And are there. the $X even where to the budgets you the million the guidance as million exposed $XX just bit discuss you opposed I know of then for with then in we know And one with. you know have follow-up quarter in end $X capital I'm then a in

comment makes and $XXX the on makes the $XXX his from ask million what let $XXX the the question Okay, take million to million, $XXX I'll me and the the million. and what on around second thoughts Sam tone OEMs,

know You seen that is some in the modalities, of level the reason they optimistic. there but certain is activity. tender in know tone you cliché OEMs in for the that increase of The so optimistic, is uncertainty are from there, for still cautiously

that’s the For market them activities of early, the the harbinger returning.

part Some countries investments all different governments the that to over of world. is due in by

of environment, outpatient normal type is the these part to dental. of returned tender Dental started, general activity. of in has Some activity activity, market just particularly some it

they that while have out, saying far – that is So that OEMs bottom they also don't bottomed very are not think they the are away.

it it look felt, the everything this a a So QX towards get pick is And part said, clear from back we're When not of a a mode up. in from there normal we XXXX to of the you it's back getting of But it clear time frame. just downward believe – where will it at as does QX we they that us. sort felt looked was bottom with know asymptotic trend. the pretty else type that's was QX, forward, into as

that Now U.S. so geography. the that OEMs U.S. the their all look Most of and to oncology, I if mammography, for concerned is the you are forward high end they OEMs flatish, market at are as trend. we And quite count positive that on as space, the momentum by market market our listen it’s we dental about see in products. the on it feels the the not but said but certainly varies yet, worst there

Sam Maheshwari

your the the higher revenue I'll question versus as for end address Sure the Anthony, project of we lower end try on and QX. to

upon a book same portion two really is in that so and which the quarter, level three month, third the there's the in ship activity of know quarter for a depends business last always the towards weeks. the particularly You or of

the which definitely are here seeing strong, of pockets activity some but We and there time soft. are are somewhat and at geographies same modalities

the of you, for we order it both So our some Then as both at guidance kind bookended up in the looked of you products know come the industrial numbers and number way. that to with are side, towards on higher the ships before is know it it end of upon the one type acceptance is ASP, factory you of and and end quarter. the it high the shipment kind activity at and dependent, that looking of machine of depends kind machines

fence quarter falls numbers next a of the in the bit. the this also so So the of or whether quarter, changes side that it little

that's are would say we providing the I revenue you think where overall I know in terms of to guidance you.

Sunny Sanyal

play on to in a forget And earlier Larry's shouldn’t Anthony question industrial. and We that add have also we revenue just strong your to to question. also back

slightly the that's depended dynamics the They're slide not the budgets, capital are On and we why like market. industrial hospital the on industrial different.

expected its a distributed by is quite more recovery vertical large very the organizations. difference a of in be number industrial across it is bit. to varies there that The rapid, So because

all that airport's, So cargo faster expect - take than may security will and airport the we longer on security recover, airport side would but to say the while everyone recovery security, side. the we NBT

Anthony Petrone

round out airport on a will take disruptive cargo on but expect more security testing, that you to the just then And rapid that? is take there, recovery, longer

Sunny Sanyal

in say at that's going it's anymore. and very seeing are business where hard the to for are of but it in degradation so that, know really us at this our exactly range when we it it us XXX is we a lower XXX type stabilized. sense just we That's number providing, and to to level, pinpoint you of stabilized but not is so not would down, the mid-point to don't but that XXX XXX has lot a gone at a whole anymore, has the of has quarter, did XXX. more We much seems it discussions know down here it know You that recover,

to somewhat business hard here. a to the levels, and of recovery guide lower would for sharp where able at the pinpoint us to a stabilized you So quarter see kind is really but we be

you. Sunny So Maybe that's you want I color can add anything? to the provide

Sunny Sanyal

I'll just one No, and more thing. add

we global OEMs different So served the local global from geographies. OEMs in benefit the as trends and the we have, all OEMs and

speak recovery who you they start with. to the So by of question expect when varies

the is markets is China, they'll in and as out well see China totally Chinese So say that for a I'm that there. example way mixed happy are faster. glad in and a business reflected OEMs, to begun at Then will that's going their say, our by recoveries are to and hand strategy OEMs certain you I'm our have be look other our business recovering

So there, America pessimistic thank Europe. than Latin view versus on bottom on their say earlier where of Latin is their is. be let's in view list the the is U.S. of to might U.S. after and I next where everyone's be seems line America

the is very – a serving one market there's this most since here here, gradations think of I OEMs. So and we're leading have, companies we

but more the industrial my NDT, really will indexed market overall will we in medical up see up is verticals to hoping recovery, in end I optimistic be – faster that more certain by geography. – I'm will be we I'm performance end – see say. being to particularly will it’ll to sense more we our so think

Sam Maheshwari

and talking Hey ago. Suraj, year because you one comparisons QX other a about probably comment, were versus

that's think the comparison. probably not I right

know probably You we that QX a just was how over $XX is the because look $XXX thinking comp that we in year versus industrial. ago the more revenue. to that of QX million be finished, in million about things need you were

little to it's the of of between in being more oranges bit important medical and a it's think profile as So and it QX to apples more QX similar and terms I industrial. of think mix
