REPORT FINDINGS:

• Excellence in growth strategy – ATEME maintains its above-market growth based on a multi-pronged strategy, which includes increasing focus on high-growth emerging regions while also expanding in advanced economies, continuing to maintain a strong research and development focus, and expanding into related application areas.

Further, ATEME's product value is driven by consistent product upgrades and new product introductions, providing its customers with high-quality, future-proof solutions.
