The chief executive, Kate Duchene, mentioned the challenges faced by the company, stating that while they have seen an increase in project extensions, new project wins remain limited due to clients operating with increased conservatism. Looking ahead, the company is focused on sourcing and closing every revenue opportunity while also aiming to improve their cost structure to better align with market conditions.
