"Over the last quarter, we continued to sharpen our strategic focus and strengthen the leadership foundation required to scale the business," said Asim Akram, Chief Executive Officer. "The additions of James Newman as Senior Director of Product Enablement and Todd McKellar as Vice President of Sales bring deep reliability, industrial operations, and go-to-market expertise to the Company. Their leadership has already helped us translate our strategy into more differentiated solutions, stronger customer engagement, and higher-quality commercial opportunities across both existing and prospective accounts."

Robert Nadolny, Chief Financial Officer, continued, "In the first quarter, we delivered continued growth in our software revenue, reflecting increased adoption of MultiSensor AI's solutions across our customer base. At the same time, disciplined expense management and improving operating efficiency contributed to a narrower net loss year-over-year, demonstrating our progress toward scaling the business while maintaining financial discipline."
