Customer billings for full-year 2025 were $19.5M. As a reminder, customer billings may vary
from quarter to quarter due to fluctuations in activity as we progress through various phases of
engagement. “Customer billings” is a key operational metric meant to give insight into customer activity and future cash inflows. The metric is not a substitute for revenue under U.S. GAAP. We ended 2025 with $970.8M in liquidity and will remain prudent with our strong balance sheet going forward.
