Q: Can you review the DMDC contract with up to $485 million? What factors determine the contract's final value? A: Mark Bendza, CFO, explained that the DMDC contract includes a base services revenue stream of approximately $25 million, with the remainder from third-party hardware and software integration. This can fluctuate, leading to a typical annual revenue estimate of $60 million to $85 million, though it could exceed $100 million in some years.
Q: Can you provide more details on the restructuring actions taken in late Q3 and early Q4? A: John Wood, CEO, stated that Telos discontinued its advanced cyber analytics and Ghost solutions due to insufficient sales. Mark Bendza added that these solutions had minimal current revenues, and the restructuring aimed to reallocate resources to higher-return opportunities.
Q: What is the size and potential of the pipeline for secure networks going into the key buying season? A: Mark Bendza noted that Telos has around 20 opportunities, with a third already submitted, totaling nine figures in contract value. Mark Griffin added that the overall pipeline is approximately $4.1 billion, encompassing 245 opportunities.
Q: How does the current TSA PreCheck market share compare to expectations, and what is the revenue potential? A: Mark Bendza indicated that Telos is capturing the expected market share based on current locations. As they expand to 500 locations, they anticipate achieving a pro rata market share of enrollments, aligning with their revenue projections.
Q: What are the risks associated with the projected $60 million to $85 million revenue from the DMDC and DHS programs? A: Mark Bendza highlighted that $2 million to $8 million of this range depends on the resolution of the DHS protest. The remaining revenue is variable, based on third-party hardware and software needs, but Telos has a high degree of visibility into the base services revenue.
