the wasn't impacts, actually one, chain a average in and your far supply book-to-bill quite mentioned cutting it than was QX. bit awful long-term that lower You

So kind maybe products some of I ship your the to in understand comment to quarter. better wanted just of inability

Michael Burger

as quarter. back And backlog. pushing pushing into the from QX to due changed primarily the know, We or we that mix had -- some like, fact had basically we couldn't had we QX had felt QX. backlog into throughout ship you We

actually, So booked it capitalize. quarter of all wasn't actually the couldn't we Not the in upside ship quarter with weren't ship and to It of to it. because since was booked But that. it. same associated it re-shipped now quarter. had we able we booked and the in were end the all But able we we've

So timing issue, it a it's -- was Greg.

Greg Palm

Got it.

you the it a And That was looks Europe are out what from and guess back EMEA -- you've I are perspective? geographic Okay. what again, seeing to us quarter, more look like makes pretty sense. geographically guess, think of to maybe maybe an end -- market other I as seeing are you the or from sort standpoint stood weak, What relative on what you geographies. broader,

Michael Burger

terms of in effect AEC. etc. had GCs due we're which that we've segment back many Many that in to Europe the of -- largely The with in construction had business seen was doing was market one of coming to basically issues the EMEA work,

killer the -- year, work the had quarter. at miss drove compare AEC the was same in in really last to market AEC So Also, Europe. it back when Europe that Europe a time, you what

I quarter, market by just has from we've all actually and Europe. driven North think but in frankly recovered very last market about continuing X a segments just So it's mix in is of AEC weakness nicely America it's both, as primarily the talked roar. Asia to the

very still got the got recovery an Europe's weakness. that We in we're number the So we're we was in strength very to America. to by the end market by strength recovering XD hopeful, And in that. our and that -- we offset despite of still but signs China excited and the North driven got close

Allen Muhich

The other -- thing

Greg Palm

Yeah.

Okay.

Allen Muhich

-- I is the U.S. EMEA strong well. would as around the primarily add, comment would've Greg, the market affected dollar

another the optics contributor to that's So there. of some

Greg Palm

a of we basis on you come comment, that lower off be should Yes. Allen, in of or linger to that No, future gross then, seasonally to points in is or what just did off that's QX the impact on good expect on point. normally you And quarters? margin would the And what will do to XXX quarter? clear, QX mostly

Allen Muhich

an It's that comment a is number. absolute

of in what it's fourth to relative we bit lines, that and quarter, a in between on any there's to -- a material absolute to the basis, expect more did meant it's included the little of of include fourth also the there's relative what So an read the range it just headwind. you quarter, in to that help reasonable fourth not not amount XX% the i.e. delivered we included that because guide XX%

Operator

our Berenberg. take from ahead. we'll Andrew And question next go DeGasperi with Please

Andrew DeGasperi

Hello.

Just the first wanted ask to maybe on quickly HoloBuilder.

You of mentioned earlier the that wondering normally involved do XD I'm beyond new XD you expanding your were to thinking manufacture areas. or do metrology you you space areas think in? think there's if, you that's like

Michael Burger

I believe where do No. at FARO FARO. area of in an space say context in have Well, we as I participated When traditional. not the not the O&M

this owners, So building. an of a building to, actually to the changes put their property it digital do facility, the view is great are in virtual into happening tool inventory, to that way amazing them ownership, format of one, their for way timestamp great

that changes facilities, I event preparedness. in in that HoloBuilder crime of scenes, public is great we've terms not -- we is because at it we areas are win in did were of that And new, think way in we're the we looking to that. that participated Other All an that's and terms document there highlighted of example in at and why a that space both exploring of changes timestamp all. safety because it's think

is high applications I be do to one be think for able safety. laser a do overlay for as XD And well to top facility of right that. we're actually photogrammetry our very ultra-high-definition way think uniquely we to in particularly Venn public do with of this, of that's able then that. drawing market, positioned us the we're scan that -- So scanners. the done images And to to really No there's to the documenting digital top the scan. believe these metrology The -- as both I on changes as on a market high-definition can to twin some

Andrew DeGasperi

gives hounding great. question, guess quarterly today the then on degree What's is guidance, that that there just something in was improved issue like fact it? changes that you comfort to you that recurring has exactly providing recurring That's -- you that of base I guidance? -- else for a have revenue comfortable which feel the to But is obviously, to now you you the comfort it. or And that now visibility Jim maybe the give that

Michael Burger

much. Well, I don't think visibility has changed

start to how ends of being still forecast -- we've based great at a happening on think not what's said, the I at been said, based Certainly historically tell seasonality, predictable. nobody to on feeling we comfortable our look up our didn't. of it certainly our when there's That That think record coming to backlog. can be. XX -- think XX% we're particularly you track side relates able COVID or we going a saw if relatively you as you it in it's market. plus where basically that with I spread quarter I business I and certainly hardware spread think and And minus deal where a it, we look directionally in

reoccurring you about. days what for Allen can quarter tell close is about. As as gives giving to with. guidance. software, early Sphere the that about It's us I us numbers it to talked launching And as and that relates be more more we confidence, stansation revenue, more as we more But (ph) don't has our we're transparent from we'll to our our continues that be promised without first we starting obviously recurring grow transparent particularly the this can think much get etc. revenue

Andrew DeGasperi

guess talked was remember recurring -- before XX% I remind the on the growth Right. it I'd with said you that exiting gave. a you if you about And I 'XX The level. maybe on And that software helps. correctly just follow-up metrics XX%. Allen, And if

this if In something trend this is Sphere wondering assume QX other acceleration. assume we words, line I Or point. a is that shouldn't any should -- Just at launches, was as expect we your the grows -- or it like level really was size? this in this quarter of growth just part of kind is some -- of potentially was excellent as a revenue that base this some

Allen Muhich

I I spend absolutely and software a think HoloBuilder. think revenue lot the right. perspective. about absolutely recurring same the a expect curve you're knee One a we that two-fold. comes At Sphere growth talking When Michael in is from live time, So

the think to I that think some expect I revenue those I we we we would referred And make level two point again, he those to. HoloBuilder There was recurring the the grow good a nothing extraordinary grow or to continue meaningful those a about -- points at content investments us think are the are that base from fourth given of quarter as to. from, revenue vectors. which in terms for of software that's And to two content.

Andrew DeGasperi
