Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. The third quarter was a record quarter for RADCOM, marked by strong growth and further evidence of our scalable and profitable business model. We are deepening deployments with existing customers while continuing to develop new opportunities in the market. Operators are increasing their investment in 5G stand-alone networks and AI operation, AIOps to enhance efficiencies, improve the customer experiences and reduce costs. As the market evolves, RADCOM holds strong competitive edge with our field-proven next-generation assurance platform, RADCOM ACE. Turning to Slide 7. I'd like to give a brief overview of the Q3 results. For the third quarter of 2025, RADCOM achieved record revenue of $18.4 million, representing 16.2% year-over-year growth with continued profitability, expanding profit margins and positive cash generation. We achieved record non-GAAP operating income of $3.8 million, representing 20.9% of revenue. This is the highest since 2017, reflecting both the scalability of our model and the disciplined execution across our operations. Our results demonstrate a strong balance between growth and profitability as evidenced by significant margin expansion. Importantly, we generated a positive cash flow of $5.1 million and ended the quarter with cash balance of $106.7 million and no debt. Our strong balance sheet positions us well for continued investment and strategic flexibility as we pursue both profitable organic expansion and targeted inorganic growth. Turning to Slide 8. At the broader market level, RADCOM is well positioned to capitalize on the strong and durable tailwinds driving telecom spending. AI native network are rapidly evolving, enabling operators to deliver superior customer experiences. At the same time, they offer new opportunities to improve operational efficiency. To capture this value, operators need trusted data and deep telecom domain expertise to power AI use cases and ensure end-to-end network observability. These dynamics give us…

Thank you, Benny, and good morning, everyone. As a reminder, unless otherwise noted, I will discuss non-GAAP results. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP measures are provided in our press release and presentation. Additionally, all comparisons are on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise noted. Please turn to Slide 16 for our financial highlights. RADCOM delivered another quarterly record in revenues with total revenue of $18.4 million, up 16.2% year-over-year. Simultaneously, we continue to effectively manage expenses while growing our strategic investment in sales and marketing. As a result, we delivered significant improvements in margins and record profitability. The gross margin in the quarter was just over 77%. Please note that our gross margin may vary based on the revenue mix. Our strong gross margin reflects a more favorable revenue mix with a lower proportion of third-party cost elements. We believe this level of gross margin will be sustained in the fourth quarter. Our non-GAAP gross R&D expenses for the third quarter were $4.7 million, up 11.6% year-over-year. This increase reflects our focus on deepen collaborations, driving innovation and expanding our portfolio. We plan to continue our strategic R&D investments to deliver advanced intelligent solutions with an emphasis on agent-to-agent and multi-model workflows while supporting our strategic partnerships and productization plans. During the quarter, we received a grant of $189,000 from the Israel Innovation Authority, consistent with the same quarter last year. Of this amount, approximately $130,000 is related to programs from the prior years. As a result, we expect the grant in the fourth quarter to be approximately $50,000. Our net R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $4.5 million, an increase of $483,000 compared to the third quarter of 2024. Sales and marketing expenses were $4.6 million, an increase of 15.4% compared to the third quarter last year, reflecting our intentional investment to grow our sales presence. We expect a gradual increase in sales and marketing in the coming quarters to support a growing pipeline and expand our presence in high-value regions. Non-GAAP operating margin was $3.8 million, beating the record we achieved in the second quarter with an operating margin of 20.9%. Non-GAAP net income was $4.9 million or $0.29 per diluted share, the highest in the company's history compared to $3.7 million or $0.23 per diluted share last year. On a GAAP basis, as shown on Slide 19, our net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $3.5 million, an increase of 54% year-over-year. GAAP earnings per share were $0.21 per diluted share compared to $0.14 per share last year. We ended the third quarter of 2025 with 319 employees. Turning to the balance sheet on Slide 23. We closed the quarter with record cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits of $106.7 million, supported by a $5.1 million positive cash flow in the third quarter, driven by our strong operating performance. That concludes our prepared remarks. Thank you, and I will now turn the call back to the operator for your questions.

[Operator Instructions] The first question is from Arjun Bhatia of William Blair.

Arjun Bhatia

Analyst

For the newly launched high-capacity user analytics solution, what are the early feedback from customers so far? And what are you most excited about?

Benny Eppstein

Analyst

Thanks for the question. We're super excited about it. It's currently in a couple of field trials. We see great performances, and we see targeting this to materialize in 2026. But so far, we are very happy with the performance we see in the field.

Arjun Bhatia

Analyst

All right. Helpful. And in terms of -- you mentioned expansion within existing customers this quarter. What trends are you seeing overall in terms of expansion within your existing customers? And in particular, what are the specific expansion efforts from these customers are you seeing in terms of adding to their existing stack?

Benny Eppstein

Analyst

Are you talking specifically about the NVIDIA piece or generally speaking?

Arjun Bhatia

Analyst

I think both. So if you could kind of narrow down first and then broader picture, overall, what trends you're seeing, that would be great.

Benny Eppstein

Analyst

Sure. Overall, we see pretty good buildup of a solid pipeline through the year right now, also building towards the end of this year. We're still targeting a double-digit growth, and we still see more and more opportunities coming up until 2026.

[Operator Instructions] The next question is from Ryan Koontz of Needham.

Ryan Koontz

Analyst

I wanted to ask about your visibility as it relates kind of looking into next year. It sounds like you're feeling a little more confident. Can you give any color there around visibility? And as you look ahead into next year, any major renewals or anything coming up that would make you concerned about maintaining your current run rate of revenue into '26?

Benny Eppstein

Analyst

We're still targeting -- thanks, Ryan. But we're still targeting double-digit growth for next year. We do see a lot of new opportunities coming up in the market for us specifically to the move the cloud native and the 5G stand-alone piece is driving a lot of transformation on the customer side. And then obviously, the line of spend, we still see some activities within our customers that need to consolidate certain applications, and we're going to support that. So overall, I think we can continue to support the double-digit growth also in 2026.

Ryan Koontz

Analyst

That's great. Great to hear. In terms of earnings leverage next year, it sounds like you're planning to spend a little more on the sales and marketing line. Any other puts and takes you'd point out on leverage, '26?

Benny Eppstein

Analyst

Yes, marketing and R&D, yes, that's right.

Ryan Koontz

Analyst

Great. And maybe last one, just a macro question about 5G core. It certainly sounds like we're starting to see some real deployments out there, at least in the U.S. Can you validate that view? And also any updated thoughts on the other kind of geographies in APAC or EMEA around 5G core deployments stand-alone?

Benny Eppstein

Analyst

Absolutely. We see good momentum on 5G core stand-alone Open RAN as well through U.S., Europe and some areas in Japan and Asia. And it is driving a lot of the activities, as I mentioned earlier, moving -- having a cloud-native application to support the troubleshooting and customer experience. The NVIDIA piece is really driving full user population visibility, and this is also driving a lot of excitement on the customer side.
