Question: Austin Moeller - Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. - Analyst
: Hi. Good afternoon, Peter.
Question: Austin Moeller - Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. - Analyst
: So just my first question here, within the quarter, are you able to talk about the percentage of ARR solution customers that were associated with
weather relative to maritime or global security?
Question: Austin Moeller - Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. - Analyst
: Sure, maybe a second question. Can you talk about the quality of the imagery for wildfire monitoring collected by the LEO satellites you're building
with OroraTech relative to perhaps imagery that you might be able to collect from a surveillance plane?
Question: Austin Moeller - Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. - Analyst
: Great, that's very exciting. And then just a follow up for Leo, did you say that your expectations for 2024 CapEx was $8 million?
Question: Austin Moeller - Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. - Analyst
: Okay, great. Thank you.
Question: Erik Rasmussen - Stifel Financial Corp. - Analyst
: Yes. Thanks for taking the questions, and congrats on the steady results, especially on the profitability.
Question: Erik Rasmussen - Stifel Financial Corp. - Analyst
: Maybe just -- sure. Maybe just on the NASA IDIQ award, how should we think about Spire's opportunity and potential, given there are other -- six
other who have been named in that award? How do you separate yourself to potentially win a higher share of this award?
Question: Erik Rasmussen - Stifel Financial Corp. - Analyst
: Great, thanks. That's helpful. And maybe just -- this speaks to maybe the growth. Obviously, it's been pretty impressive, but you had to make some
adjustments given the macro challenges you faced. But what is the current view from your customer base? Are you getting the right signals where
you can maybe be more aggressive on the sales front to achieve even higher growth rates?
Question: Erik Rasmussen - Stifel Financial Corp. - Analyst
: Great, thanks.

Question: Ric Prentiss - Raymond James Financial, Inc. - Analyst
: Thanks. Good afternoon, everybody.
Question: Ric Prentiss - Raymond James Financial, Inc. - Analyst
: A couple of quick questions, one, I appreciate you're looking at the cash and the working capital policies. What do you think you need on a normal
basis cash to run the business? Where would you like to see the balances stay at?
Question: Ric Prentiss - Raymond James Financial, Inc. - Analyst
: I appreciate you all looking at your debt and thinking you could get better rates at different situations where you're at if you put up several quarters
of positive results. But remind us what the new current debt has as far as covenants and requirements on ARR and any other items out there.
Question: Ric Prentiss - Raymond James Financial, Inc. - Analyst
: Okay, thanks. Have a good day.
Question: Steven Pawlak - Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. - Analyst
: Yes, thank you. It's Steven Pawlak on for Jeff. Any commentary you can give around how sales are trending? It sounded like last quarter, things
Question: Steven Pawlak - Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. - Analyst
: Appreciate that. And on -- I hear you on the ARR-per-customer strategy. I guess, just how are you balancing achieving that with sort of not leaving
customers at the table? And then as far as the sales force goes, is it just a change in priority or is there like a change in incentive that they come
through on that?
Question: Steven Pawlak - Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. - Analyst
: Makes sense. Thank you very much.
