Management Commentary
"Q2 was one of the most important quarters in CXAI's evolution," said Khurram Sheikh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CXAI. "We grew revenue
"EngineRoom is much more than an acquisition of revenue. It brings CXAI a profitable recurring business, more than 50 mid-market customer relationships, growth and performance intelligence, and a distribution engine through which we can productize and commercialize CXAI's Agentic AI capabilities."
"At the same time, CXAI 2.0 is moving from vision to execution. We are expanding our platform from place, where and how people work, to person, how individuals and teams prioritize and execute work, and now to business, how companies acquire customers, convert demand and grow."
"Our strategy is becoming increasingly clear: anchor CXAI with blue-chip enterprise relationships, use EngineRoom to create mid-market scale, and deploy one shared Agentic AI platform across both. We believe this combination gives CXAI the opportunity to grow revenue while increasing software mix, improving operating leverage and building toward profitable growth."
