Even though we had a reduction in revenue, we completed the year with an increased contracted order bookings and improved operational profitability. During the year we have successfully reduced our working capital and cleared all outstanding FCCB debts, which has led to notable savings in our interest cost.

Further, we have made substantial progress on our core portfolio as well as on our high growth digital security portfolio. Our core platform currently supports big data stacks and have been enhanced with Machine Learning capabilities. Subex Secure our new multi-vertical IoT Security solution with the largest threat intelligence library, already protects over 8 million IoT devices.
