Welcome to KidPick Corp's Third Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call. Today's call will be conducted by the company's Chief Technology Officer, Moshe Dibah and its Chief Accounting Officer, Jill by Shenek. The company's Chief Executive Officer is away unexpectedly today and will not participate. Before I turn the call over to Mr. Moshe Dibaugh, I'd like to remind you that statements made in this conference call concerning future revenues, results from operations, financial position, markets, economic conditions, growth objectives, product releases, partnerships and any other statements that may be construed as a prediction of future performance or events are forward looking statements, which may involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements.

Operator

For a discussion of some of the risk factors that could cause actual results to differ, please refer to the Risk Factors section of Kid Pix's latest annual and quarterly filings with the SEC. Non GAAP results will also be discussed on the call. The company believes the presentation of non GAAP information provides useful supplementary data concerning the company's ongoing operations and is provided for informational purposes only. Reconciliations of the historical non GAAP financial measures discussed during this call can be found in the press release KidPick released earlier today. With that said, I'd like to turn the call over to Moshe Dibah to begin.

Speaker 1

Thank you, operator. We are pleased to welcome everyone to today's call, where we'll review Q3 2023 and provide an update on the company and its business. We will begin by announcing that the company is evaluating strategic alternatives and then discuss financial and business highlights, followed by a financial review, which Joe Peseshnik, our Chief Accounting Officer, will take us through. As a result of the current difficult economic environment in which consumers are pulling back on spending on non essential items, including clothing as well as increases in the company's cost to acquire customers due to changes in the use of cookie tracking technologies. The company is currently working to reduce expenses and overhead, sell off inventory and reduce its workforce.

Speaker 1

Additionally, the company plans to initiate a formal review process to evaluate strategic alternatives for the company. The Board of Directors and management team are committed to acting in the best interest of the company, its stockholders and its stakeholders. Transactions which may be undertaken by the company may include, but are not limited to, business combinations, liquidations of assets and or sale of the company or its assets. The company does not intend to make any further public comment regarding the review of strategic alternatives until it has been completed or the company determines that a disclosure is required by law or otherwise deemed appropriate. Our 3rd quarter results were, for the most part, consistent with our 2nd quarter results.

Speaker 1

On the macro level, high inflation, increased interest rates and declining consumer confidence have weakened consumer sentiment, substantially reduce purchases of new inventory and focused on increasing sales from our current elevated inventory level, which we believe will support our cash flow needs in the short term. In addition, we are taking other actions, including reductions in various operating costs. Having our own proprietary brand gives us the opportunity to expand beyond the box. We are working to increase our proprietary brand sales through our own e commerce site, shop. Kidpick.com and other third party platforms.

Speaker 1

We invite you all to visit our newly launched holiday website attidpic.com to see our e commerce brand experience with added new UX convenient features. Through our revamped websites, customers can shop fashion items, Gift items, curated items, freestyle boxes or our famous basics for the holiday season. Thank you for your interest and support. With that, I'll turn the call to Jill to detail the financial highlights of the quarter.

Speaker 2

Jill? Thank you, Moshe. Q3 revenue was $3,400,000 a decrease of 7.4% year over year and a decrease of 6.7% quarter over quarter.

We used $500,000 in operating cash flow for the most in the recent 39 week period compared to $7,000,000 last year. In order to improve our cash position, we significantly reduced purchases of new and reduced operating expenses.
