Mike Matson

revenue the constant to is up you from then in are good guidance, fairly it And currency Okay. X% that's to or the see but were X% where step a significant XXXX.

on to be of what's how seems year? half the happens confidence it the considering going more on it's So -- ability especially deliver to of that the reliant that like kind your what level in second

Matthew E. Monaghan

is question good Mike. it Yes, a

lot year. actions the growth executing I so we the think that this in of year there are second first are a in and quarter precedent later that that can happen

in require underway. need way effective business do to today we quite work eliminate a capabilities as that place be other with. by lot previously many really with customer we've something We'll benefits, we've had we doing it to get we are redundant which system much the of some As to have and IT us will and this talked as enable to engagement But better old manual the inefficient around our systems of legacy do and are. business about

those So the grow streamline and which second to really in more even our first the business things gives us sales quarter and happen half. only second can ability then in

coming through year. of the and year, course occur the year are especially that wheelchair power with the naturally in those out the then continue at products products of as coming with respiratory will And new the sales out we later part

it be earlier the of mentioned on typical as flat. call seasonal could the quarter First we kind

should then part of quarter be second, it around fourth and third, I your think other or more And question was confidence. much interesting.

think last we on is steps the the what to year drive focus what we this with but year bandwidth what products. year couple last meaningful absolutely seeing ready growth in do did commercialization we really in those of product new from have within And this to accomplished are years. of new I innovation of lack

commercialize really to them well, got sure underway things make that we to products, are new have We happens. and

Kathleen P. Leneghan

the on well And to help as we're make revenue. of drive the additional demo investments as sales side to going house that

Mike Matson

on Okay convertible just then thanks. And debt. finally the

third So took in you million outstanding that been the it million with third portion XX the has the XX, XX guess quarter, of or to fourth tranche I quarter I think. first fourth actions you and reduced

So the for XX plans due? remaining what million that's are your

Matthew E. Monaghan

is thing relations normal profitable commercial time. which enhancement Yes, growth EBITDA us and increasing the gives number banking flexibility one focus on in over

Operator

And now we'll KeyBanc. with take a question from Mishan Matthew

Matthew Mishan

you to the for thank agreeing questions good and taking morning Great, everyone.

I'm bear the with West Coast, on Just math. really my on is right me it now. early

majority the the the in understanding phasing you XQ quarter EBITDA. with year As majority I'm half at of I'm your exiting the run million $XX EBITDA that the the looking and -- in first and rate typically correctly if vast you're are I EBITDA, the generated? quarter of is second EBITDA flat best mean the EBITDA for is of the $XX thinking to half million is fourth

Matthew E. Monaghan

the quarter remember, million XXXX under second we year. by million million the end stacked the of a normal quarter first XX.X and worth I In June million the And seasonal pretty two or to $X By aggressively or by quarter think of profile others from in million. had accumulated and we X things EBITDA. you went as $X accumulated year. the end X XXth we Well, the the we're $X expecting of will towards

capability The and a have cost we an So to from in happening products even in should to it's savings And XXXX year. in that. be be new quarter do fourth as we the are seasonality earlier similar. that expect going stronger relatively different XXXX also

fourth each different. or So a maybe but balance relative the little third quarter other

the We expect strong of be half back it to year.

Kathleen P. Leneghan

seasonality. seasonality I would to in think XXXX right, you're is see XXXX, But it you as similar the -- have going

Matthew Mishan

about think headwinds versus you're North is how X% be that guidance, to would that FX you and Europe, giving top -- X% on thinking the as what about we and as what like America should that XXXX in the of now growth, expected Okay, well? be

Matthew E. Monaghan

biggest incremental we time regions at are commercialization do and this bringing sales The in we've Probably products we constant in to biased regions We revenue big towards that has North are growth with sure now they're underway be very both year in America to have effective. both it long make North expect recently change robust that a America the and should increase growth. in Markets those really year this up been that going that to X.X% similar end since more of continue up efforts in Europe. of healthy places. currency both level been

Kathleen P. Leneghan

side plan the know On now. at the efforts you right our where based and the of range house is Euro a is that XXX roughly really

contracts hedge at as We So the as rate. on of enter long are would as into do normally sales to protect FX entered company side of the that both those the against a should be XXXX we -- QX good. well QX average stays range it into and house it be the cost in as much pretty

okay. a we as So now are crystal on the to obviously where going where ball don't we go FX rates is have we right but based see to we think

Matthew Mishan

So currency about same? organic reported the growth constant an

Kathleen P. Leneghan

rate same now, the About yes.

Matthew Mishan

in the looking of at increase working was just was what then am million what accounts just maybe the And -- the and the looking at driver capital, payable? I $XX

Kathleen P. Leneghan

balance looking that. be because would sheet, are FX the the at balance within there sheet You reported

look take you the That's really inventory. capital worth our if at the reduction full the see year the is So main for would driving. a in driver, you working

balance off sheet. go the can't You

Matthew Mishan

lot is And a bigger little a seen of question. We've a picture connectivity companies question data bit about making digital health. of a transformation at last talking and

this links couple ahead of are were a in are guys ago. are interested You you at now and Where offering? customers kind more of years becoming links with with that

Matthew E. Monaghan

development three had years an the having Yes, launched of to of that and it's in out point pleased August marketplace have XXXX. of interesting we're been with

interesting our more year with easily in the The in that modality served. out very the last in probably and XXXX. and is out total and making reimbursed being doing with right and oxygen cost of effect there. more to have effective the same whatever that's products products about on compliant clients more occurred I we And solutions in that's think sure have the neat we been of put are that ways thing technology is regime regulatory the in have customers market concentrators their becoming cost the that's of hands We as talk technology also ownership managing get to

that working So interesting who kinds understand a do the it portfolio the to of and end across to things the make with are we patients. but our and platform normal users given more. have are Links for us not that good only really day, providers see clinicians how in expanding future expanding day to

So that going head a start us I forward. gives think
