Q: Can you elaborate on your reinvestment priorities for the fourth quarter and early 2025, and discuss the rate of potential revenue growth and margin expansion? A: Mark Barrocas, CEO: We’ve had a strong year with significant top-line growth, and we’re investing heavily in R&D to sustain this momentum into 2025. We’re also expanding into new markets, which requires upfront investment. On the supply chain side, we’re accelerating our move outside of China to capture capacity and mitigate risks.
