In the second quarter, Optiva secured a full BSS upgrade for a key customer, one of the largest Tier 1 mobile operators in Mexico, that will be deployed on Google Cloud. The company also extended other strategic Tier 1 customers with multi-year contracts, demonstrating the success it is delivering for its customers. The pipeline continues to be strong, and the Company is currently awaiting key decisions by carriers regarding a number of qualified opportunities. In addition, in late July, Optiva was selected as a finalist in the Leading Lights Awards 2024 category of Most Innovative Telecom Software Product, indicating market recognition and customer confidence.
Consistent with what we experienced in Q1, deployments for certain new customers are experiencing delays, in part due to implementation of a new regulatory framework in an African country. Despite these delays, the Company believes that the projects will proceed. As a result of these delays and, to a lesser extent, upgrade project delivery delays, the Company is now expecting 2024 full year revenue to be consistent with 2023. Virtually all of the impact is in the Company’s one-time revenue (software and services), while annual recurring revenue (support and subscription) is forecasted to remain on plan.
During the first half of 2024, Optiva has developed tangible AI use cases and demonstrated internally trained models to wireless operators, with a very positive reception. As a BSS vendor with a Tier 1 converged charging engine that is fully cloud-native, Optiva can enable an operator to leverage its customer data in real time to enhance monetization opportunities, improve the customer experience and reduce churn. The Company is also taking steps to utilize AI models to make its managed services and support teams more efficient.
“While the impact of customer delays on our short-term revenue is disappointing, the Company anticipates executing on the revenue backlog in subsequent quarters and remains in a strong position to capitalize on immediate opportunities to grow our market share. Optiva's reputation is the most robust it has ever been, benefiting from the significant investment in R&D. As an organization, we are proactively leveraging AI to enhance operational efficiencies and distinguish our products and services in the market," said Robert Stabile, Chief Executive Office of Optiva.
The Company generated $5.2 million cash from operations in the quarter, significantly improving its operating working capital, ending with a strong cash position of $17.1 million.

Non-IFRS Measures
“EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA" are not financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute to net income (loss), operating income or any other financial measures of performance calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding amounts for depreciation and amortization, other income, finance costs, finance income, income tax expense (recovery), foreign exchange gain (loss) and share-based compensation. The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding restructuring costs, one-time provision amounts and other one-time unusual items. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that investors may find useful in understanding the Company's financial position. The following table provides a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands of U.S. dollars).
