Thanks, Ghen. And thanks to all of you for joining our call. I am going to start today by providing you with specific data points on what is happening in the business right now and how we're ramping into the December quarter, our highest volume quarter of the year.

Second, I will then discuss some operational details on each of our business segments in the September quarter. Third I will review our guidance and finally wrap up with some more strategic thoughts on where we see the business going and how Digital Turbine fits into that. Andrew will take you through the numbers before we open it up for Q&A.

First, in what's happening in our business today; we just finished October, recording our strongest month in the history of the company at $7.8 million in revenue. And early November has continued on the same trend.

Although we are only in the first week of November, our DT Media, Appia Core and content businesses are all now equally contributing to our revenue reflecting the rapid growth in our DT Media business.

Our October results are 340% organic growth on a reported basis and 82% higher on a pro forma basis compared to last October assuming we had owned Appia for all the entire year. Our October results set us up for a good holiday selling season.

I am excited that we have strengthened our financial flexibility to feed our long-term growth with our recent financing.

The material drivers for our top line growth including specific improvements in yield per device, number of devices sold, new customers and demand from advertisers are all happening right now and we are very excited about the business we are building. Specifically, all of our U.S.

carrier partners are currently running at least eight slots on nearly all their devices. Assuming they continue with the eight slots, we anticipate this should yield, a yield per device exceeding our $2 guidance range for the fiscal year.

Combined with the expected increase in volumes of holiday device sales, overall DT Media revenues should materially ramp in the December quarter. We expect that ramp to continue as we launch our Ignite folders that will further expand slots in a more organized fashion.

We're collaborating with the device OEMs to launch this feature during the March quarter with our larger operator partners. With the recent announcement of our AT&T contract, in the past 90 days we've added new distribution partners for Ignite that have over 500 million mobile subscribers.

These customers will begin to materially ramp as we get into calendar 2016, as we have visibility into their deployment plans. I will come back to those deployments in a moment. On the advertiser side demand for inventory on the home screen continues to be robust.

As discussed previously, we have strong advertising demand from brands such as Uber, Lift, Pandora, King and so on, but are also adding brands and applications such as Starbucks, eBay, Walmart, Walgreens and Open Table.

With our improving targeting capabilities and advertising spend for the holiday season, this should also help drive improved CPP and CPI rates. Let's now get started on some operational details around each of our businesses for the September quarter.

First, the overall Content business had a strong September quarter that was up 6% sequentially in constant currency driven by growth in new partners in DT Pay and Marketplace. The DT Pay business continues to be robust as carrier billing is a strategic necessity for many content providers wanting to have direct relationships with their customers.

For example, in Australia and Southeast Asia, we're working with Electronic Arts to help acquire new customers with direct mobile advertising campaigns and then using DT Pay as a simple direct billing method. This is promoting content and applications directly to the customer, outside of the traditional app stores.

As consumers in Australia migrate away from carrier portals to purchase content the Australian Marketplace business is beginning to decline but this is being offset by the growth of Pay in Australia and Marketplace opportunities in other markets.

In particular, we have won all the existing games business from Globe in the Philippines using our Marketplace platform. Today this is worth over $1 million in existing revenue per year to Globe and we expect that move to be completed in February.

As part of our expansion into Southeast Asia, we have grown our Pay connectivity into all the key markets. In particular, we expect to launch in India, in January, with multiple services and partners and expect to add another 20 customers in Southeast Asia over the next six months.

We are working on further expanding Pay connectivity to scale globally and provide our existing global publishers with the ability to monetize via carrier billing and expect this to also launch in the March quarter.

Given the geographic shift we are seeing occurring from Australia to Southeast Asia in the Marketplace and Pay business we expect to drive double-digit growth in the Content business for the second half of this fiscal year. Now turning to our Advertising business.

First, for Appia Core as I mentioned above, we saw nice 14% growth from the June quarter to the September quarter driven by strong spend by numerous customers, including Pandora. While our install location metrics can fluctuate a bit from quarter-to-quarter we are now seeing over 70% of our installs occurring outside the United States.

This is important as it shows our ability to leverage the DT infrastructure for the Appia sales efforts outside the U.S. as well as our growth from Chinese publishers. Outside of one event driven quarter in 2013, this was Appia's best quarter in the history of the company including the historically strong holiday quarters of years past.

We are very focused on adding additional supply sources to meet the over $10 million of demand we have from advertisers today. Short-term we're finding the biggest barrier to accelerating growth in the Appia Core business in ensuring we have supply of sufficient quality to which to run all the advertiser demand.

From an industry perspective as many of you know, there are many supply channels who just resell traffic to other supply channels. This can cause an advertisers demand to run on undesirable channels which hurts the brand of the advertiser and the performance of the ad.

One of Appia's core competencies is managing this dynamic by ensuring only quality supply is running at the front end.

More strategically the launch of programmatic and real-time bidding which are planned for early 2016 will add quality supply sources as we will be able to use quantitative metrics to bid on quality traffic versus solely striking business development relationships on a syndicate network.

This investment is a use of proceeds from a capital raise that will both improve the revenue growth in the March quarter and beyond, while also improving gross margins by keeping the volume running through on algorithms. For DT Media, which includes our Ignite and IQ solutions, we saw 27% top line growth quarter-over-quarter.

While still representing a ramp we were not pleased with this result as device sell through dipped our projections and yield per device was $1.32 due to a combination of factors; including, running some free apps for operators, some sent away for the holiday season, some contribution globally from developing markets that pulls the weighted average down and finally some advertisers waiting for more specific segmentation, which is now live.

This targeting of campaigns is generating material increases in CPP or cost per placement. When we don't use targeted campaigns we see advertisers willing to pay us anywhere between $0.30 to $0.50 CPP. When we use targeting we are now seeing average CPP rates rise to $0.60 to $0.70.

Further we now have the operational infrastructure to launch these campaigns at scale as we have integrated our back end Ignite, Appia ad serving and targeting tools into a single system.

Combined with the expected slot expansion we do expect yield per device to meet or exceed our $2 guidance for the full-year and we will continue to provide updated yield information and empirical data to help investors more precisely forecast this important growth driver of the business.

As mentioned in today's press release, we expect all of our Americas customers to expand their slots for the December quarter to between 8 to 10 from an average of four in the prior quarters, which should materially impact the DT Media ramp. For example, if we had four slots at $0.46 CPP times 1 million devices, that is $16 million of revenue.

If you have eight slots at $0.40 times 1 million devices, that is $32 million of revenue. While we need to ensure their administrative return on each incremental slots in terms of open rates, CPP rates, et cetera, in simple terms more slots means more growth and performance. We're also focused on our international ramp-up of Ignite revenues.

Although still not as material as we would like our October Ignite and IQ international revenues were 50% higher in October compared to September.

The ramp-up of international existing customers is a major focus for us to improve and to begin that improvement we will be expanding our relationship with Deutsche Telekom for four additional markets in early 2016. Vodafone continues to perform strong in Australia and our Philippine business is ramping each month.

While our relationship with MSAI India is the perfect strategic solution to address the fragmented Indian device distribution market, as we have mentioned in previous calls, we continue to have operational and commercial challenges coordinating DT Ignite integrated on the dozens of OEMs in China and other emerging countries that sell devices into India.

This is a dynamic we continue to work to improve and I plan on personally meeting with one of the MSAI founder's to ensure we are addressing this. It's an enormous opportunity for both us and MSAI, but we just need to lean in further and execute on it. And finally our recent announcement of new customers has helped strengthen our pipeline.

As you have heard me say many times, winners in the technology space win disproportionately as momentum creates additional momentum. As a result of our recent announcements, we have had incremental inbound interest from numerous new potential customers.

We need to balance our ability to execute, launch and scale the customers we have against this new potential demand. But the bottom line is that the thesis of great timing and winning tends to create more winning is now being validated. We continue to install IQ on new T-Mobile and Vodafone Android devices.

Our key learning today is the importance of placement. On both operators when we place the IQ widget on the right swipe of the home screen we see 75% higher revenues for that device compared to an IQ is put in the operator app folders.

Given it is in everyone's interest to dive additional engagement revenue we're working on placement been consistent across all devices. Regarding new customer deployments, in the past few months we have announced new relationships with mobile operators that account for over incremental 500 million subscribers globally.

We have also recently launched with both Clearwire which is here in the United States and 2degrees in New Zealand. Both are relatively small operators with over 1 million combined customers, but are important strategically for a couple of reasons.

First, Clearwire is a very flexible innovative partner who is collaborating closely with us on numerous trials and experimentations that will allow us to bring those results to larger partners without disrupting the more predictable revenue streams we have today. Clear is employing both IQ and Ignite on all their new Android devices.

And 2degrees has launched Ignite on existing versus new devices. This is an important case study we use with other customers that Ignite is not just for new devices but can be used on devices already launched in the marketplace. Now I'd like to talk about our fiscal 2016 guidance.

As we have discussed before when we have solid empirical data our forecasting of future revenues is on or above forecasts. This includes Appia Core, Content and our larger Ignite customers. Where we have had revisions is around applying the correct discount rates of risk for the exact launch and timing dates and ramps of new customers.

The Appia Core, Content and existing stable of Ignite and IQ customers are all ramping in the recent edition of U.S. Customers and their expansion of inventory slots is extremely promising. We are expecting to be on eight or more slots across all of our U.S.

customers for the holidays which is potentially eight figure incremental impact on our revenues this year. The risk here however is that any customer can decide to change the number of slots lower or higher any time. While we know four slots is the floor, the ceiling could vary by device by operator and so on.

Further we can't predict device sell through without accuracy and we want that better empirical data and visibility to drive our guidance. So we currently have a revenue outlook of $110 million to $130 million in the public domain for this fiscal year ending March. We are not adjusting it or reaffirming it today.

As I mentioned earlier we are off to a strong quarter with October at $7.8 million and given that we're in the midst of a seasonal build towards holiday selling we want to avoid the risk of which [sign our analysts and] investors are planning to come back to investors in December.

We will have a call to review current quarter performance to-date and give you an assessment and update of our outlook for 2016. At that point we will have the following three things. First, we will have early holiday device sales and sell throughs.

Last year the five-week period from Black Friday until the end of the year accounted for over 50% of the Ignite devices sold in the entire quarter. Having this early holiday selling season visibility, will improve our visibility to the full year.

Secondly, will be the expanded slot impact that we can provide actual results to better forecasts against our empirical data. And finally we are going to have better visibility into the precise timing of new customers we've announced plus some we have not announced.

We anticipate having very specific devices and customer launch dates confirmed over the next 30 days. All of this will allow us to come back to you with more precise figures on the annual guidance versus risking over under shooting numbers that are highly dependent upon factors we don't 100% control.

We are committed to improving expectations management and trust this effort will provide greater clarity for investors. For the longer term we expect the new contracts we have signed for all these new customers will be worth tens of millions of dollars in revenue in fiscal '17 at gross margins in excess of 50%.

We expect the see MTS, Millicom, American Movil and Cricket to positively impact our March quarter and AT&T to impact our June quarter. Cricket will be implementing our silent Ignite install solution which is similar to what we deal with other existing customers.

Cricket has over 5 million subscribers and has been aggressive at adding new Android devices. AT&T will be implementing our Ignite 2.0 solution which includes a setup wizard. This setup wizard allows customers to preselect which applications they want at first boot.

We will be launching the setup wizard with other customers earlier as well but given the complexity and unique requirements of AT&T we want to be conservative on the timing of launch given our history of forecasting.

We do expect AT&T to install Ignite on other new mainstream Android devices and will provide more clarity on the specifics on this growth as we are closer to launch. And finally before I turn it over to Andrew, I want to mention a few strategic areas of investment for us. The industry is evolving rapidly.

One global macro trend is the trend towards increasing BYOD or bring your own device by consumers. For us this trend means that finding additional ways to install Ignite via OEMs and via other technical means such as the SIM card become increasingly important.

You will see additional news from us on how we are meeting this marketplace trend for continued Ignite growth. In addition to the specific trend the data science, the growth of mobile, the growth of devices beyond smartphones, the dynamics of Big Data and targeting and the competitive landscapes all are moving very quickly.

Our mission is to get the right app to the right customer at the right time. A very simple thing to say, but a complex thing to accomplish with over 6 billion devices in the marketplace and many, many millions of apps.

The key is to execute on that mission, our improved data science, the integration of our products, the integration of our content filtering technologies, ability to migrate to SIM solutions for Ignite and a slick front end engagement experience for the end user.

The past 90 days has seen material progress on positioning our company to the perfect place. The groundwork that has been laid with these newly announced contracts, expansion by existing customers for additional applications and the integration of Appia DT and XYO assets into a comprehensive product suite is now real.

While we all like things to happen faster, bottom line is that they are happening and our timing is so perfect. I want to conclude my remarks by conveying my enthusiasm on the progress we are making against the larger vision of the company.

I know many investors are understandably focused on very near-term issues like current guidance, lockups, specific types of metrics, new customer launch dates in March versus May and so on.

And while we do fully understand how important those issues are to address, I want to bring additional focus against the larger narrative of where we are going as a company.

Our objective is to build a business with sustainable long-term growth for years to come and the balance of short-term execution with this long-term vision and planning are equally key. With that I will turn it over to Andrew for the numbers..

Thanks, Bill. I will start with a review of our financial results for Q2 fiscal '16 and then offer some additional color on some recent traction in the business and touch upon our full-year outlook. Please note that all comparisons I will discuss today are being made to the prior sequential quarter unless specifically noted.

We believe that this is a better indicator of how our business is performing, given the vast differences between our company today at this time last year, namely as a result of the growth in our advertising business and the March 6, 2015 acquisition of Appia.

I also would like to remind everyone that we have two reporting segments, Advertising and Content, with Advertising comprised of Appia Core and DT Media and Content comprised of DQ Marketplace and DT Pay. These segments are the basis for our financial reporting as well as for my discussion today. With that said let's begin.

Revenue for the fiscal second quarter was $20.7 million as compared with revenue of $18.7 million for the first fiscal quarter for sequential growth of 11%.

On a constant currency basis assuming no adverse impacts from a falling Aussie dollar which was approximately $500,000 in the quarter, second quarter revenue increased to $21.2 million or 13% growth versus Q1. Each of our businesses, DT Media, Appia Core and DT Content grew in the quarter in constant currency terms.

66% of second quarter revenue was generating from our advertising business versus 62% in the fiscal first quarter, while 34% of second quarter revenue was generated from our Content business as compared to 38% in the prior quarter.

This sequential change in mix underscores the continued adoption of DT Ignite as well as Appia Core revenue growth within our Advertising business. Advertising revenue in the quarter was $13.7 million an increase of 18% over the prior quarter. Of this, Advertising revenues from DT Ignite and DT IQ are $4.1 million were up 27% versus the first quarter.

Within Advertising revenue this quarter, growth in Ignite revenues once again shifted the mix towards DT Media resulting in DT Media contributing 30% of fiscal Q2 revenue and Appia Core contributing 70% compared to 28% and 72% respectively in Q1. This increase reflects continued penetration of DT Ignite across our U.S.

carrier and international OEM distributor partners. That said our Advertising mix shifted to DT Media even with Appia Core realizing record revenue this quarter.

Appia Core revenue totaled $9.6 million in the quarter or growth of 14% as compared to Q1 revenues of $8.4 million representing again a record revenue quarter excluding a one-time event by a large advertiser in calendar 2013.

The quarter was positively impacted by continued growth in Asia-Pacific on both the demand and supply side, specifically in China. As a result the positive campaign performance in recent months Appia Core was also able to secure increased budget commitments from key advertisers that contribute to increased revenues.

We expect to see Appia Core growth again in the December quarter benefitting from these factors and related to seasonality that we expect in portions of November to January.

Key priorities for the Appia Core business over the next two quarters will be to continue to scale distribution outside of the United States, which will drive incremental revenues and to continue to improve the data science and products that we believe will in turn create differentiated ad units in the marketplace.

These carry better gross margins by virtue of the premiums they command. Content revenue in the quarter was $7.1 million flat compared to the first quarter and increased 6% on a constant currency basis.

Growth in the DT Pay business this quarter was coupled with a decline in DT Marketplace revenue due to the decision to end our relationship with Cellcom which had contributed roughly US$300,000 in Q1.

Content business growth in constant currency net of the decline in Israel of approximately $0.5 million was offset by currency headwinds resulting in flat reported revenue for Q1.

More specifically as Bill mentioned, DT Pay revenues have increased as carrier billing remains a strategic necessity for many content providers who desire to have direct relationships with their customers.

In Australia and in Southeast Asia we are working with Electronic Arts to help acquire new customers with direct mobile advertising campaigns and then using DT Pay as a simple direct billing method.

This is promoting content and applications directly to the customer outside of app stores which is core to and directly in line with our overall strategy.

Furthermore as part of our expansion into Southeast Asia we have expanded and expect to further expand our DT Pay connectivity into select strategic markets such as India and we will be launching live services with new and existing partners in those markets which we expect to complement Australian centric growth in our Content business.

Geographically owing to increased DT Media adoption, revenue in the second quarter was primarily from business in the United States followed by Australia. The United States remains the largest percentage of our overall total revenue base at 65% in Q2 up from 62% in Q1 and due to increased DT Ignite and Appia Core revenue. U.S.

revenue realized 18% growth on a sequential basis. Australia represented 34% of our revenues in Q2 versus 37% in Q1. As we did last quarter we've included 100% of Appia's revenue in the U.S. for geographic and segment reporting purposes.

However in the September quarter we saw approximately 70% of all installs on the Appia Core network occur outside of the United States. Adjusted gross profit which excludes intangible amortization grew 4% to $4.6 million or 22% of revenue compared to $4.5 million or 24% of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal '16.

The comparison is attributable to the mix shift dynamics within our Advertising and Content businesses.

Within Advertising the positive impact of increasing mix of DT Media revenue which carried approximately 42% gross margins in the quarter was offset by a lower contribution from professional services which as we have said in the past we expect to be lumpy.

DT Media gross margins were also impacted by higher carrier partner concentration and the achievement during the quarter of an incentive threshold yielding in less favorable revenue share to the company. Rounding out the Advertising business, Appia Core margins were approximately 20% for the quarter.

Appia Core gross margins included a one-time positive adjustment related to the Appia acquisition. Excluding this adjustment gross margin was just over 19% as compared to approximately 18% in Q1. This margin improvement was primarily due to the focused effort to reduce credits as we previously called out, namely those related to advertiser overspend.

Within the Content business margins were approximately 15% for the quarter driven by revenue shifts to lower margin profile DT Pay revenue as well as the loss of approximately $300,000 of higher margin DT Marketplace revenue from our terminated Cellcom relationship.

We recorded a GAAP gross profit for the quarter of $77,000 which is primarily due to the write off of $2.4 million of intangibles related to customer relationships acquired for the 2012 acquisition of Logia, which non-cash charge was taken in the cost of sales line.

Total operating expenses for the quarter decreased approximately 13% to $8.2 million compared to $9.4 million for the first quarter. Total operating expenses include non-cash items comprised of stock based compensation and depreciation of $1.6 million and 1.7 million respectively.

The reduction in total operating expenses was a result of tighter cost controls across general and administrative items specifically lower professional fees as the first fiscal quarter generally includes higher costs related to our fiscal year-end audit as well as relatively flat headcount quarter-over-quarter.

The fiscal second quarter was also positively impacted by a reversal of an accrual related to performance-based bonuses for this fiscal year of approximately $0.5 million. Our loss from continuing operations net of income taxes for fiscal Q2 was $8.3 million or $0.14 per share based on 57.3 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Net loss from continuing operations for fiscal Q1 was $8.1 million or $0.14 per share based on 57.4 million weighted average shares outstanding. Our loss from continuing operations net of income taxes excluding the one-time write-off of $2.4 million of intangibles related to Logia was $5.9 million or a loss of $0.10 per share.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss for Q2 was $2.1 million, a 35% improvement from $3.3 million in Q1. Adjusted EBITDA loss declined sequentially due to the aforementioned factors including increased absolute dollar gross profit as well as lower operating expenses. Let's move to the balance sheet.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $4.6 million at September 30th, compared with $6.4 million at June 30th. During the quarter we continued our focus on aggressive accounts receivable collections and utilized the full and extended payment terms on our accounts payable.

On October 2nd, we closed the public offering for approximately 8.74 million shares at $1.57 per share for a total deal sized at approximately $12.9 million.

As discussed at the time of the offering we expect to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes and working capital as well as to invest in the future of our business such that strategic capital allocation decisions made today will drive growth in fiscal '17 and beyond.

Such investment will be targeted to undercapitalize organic opportunities including real-time bidding, the integration of Content and Pay into our Advertising infrastructure as well as innovation and new product development.

Total debt at quarter end stood at $10.6 million net of discount of which $3.3 million is short-term and there were no net new borrowings under our credit facility at quarter end versus the end of Q1.

As a reminder our revolving line of credit allows DT Media to borrow up to $5 million based on eligible accounts receivable after consideration of other loans outstanding. We expect to continue to use this line to fund working capital as our DT Media business ramps and scales into the holiday season.

Included in $3.3 million of short-term debt, are senior debt ahead of principal amount of $300,000 as of quarter end and will be fully amortized with no amounts remaining at April 1, 2016.

As previously disclosed in an effort to drive down our overall cost of debt capital, we have engaged with our senior lender Silicon Valley Bank to work together to refinance our higher cash costs subordinated debt.

While we have nothing formal to announce today, I characterize our discussions with Silicon Valley Bank as productive and collaborative and will be back to you when we have something more definitive to report.

Prior to moving to Q3 and our full year outlook, I'd be remiss not to mention that we are gratified with our accomplishments this year to-date.

In the last six months we've increased revenue 55% on a pro forma basis versus the same period last year, announced carrier relationships with major global distribution partners such as AT&T, American Movil, Millicom and MTS for 574 million subscribers collectively and raised the capital needed to facility our growth and make investments in our future, a deal in which our Board Members participated.

With that backdrop I'd like to give a little color on the present, mainly on our progress so far in fiscal Q3. As Bill mentioned the month of October was strong with revenues up approximately 10% from September from continued Advertising business growth as advertisers continued to spend in front of the holiday season.

We are encouraged by this growth which does not yet include any material seasonal holiday selling and is therefore strong ahead of the seasonally high volume period from Thanksgiving through Christmas.

Now that we're in November we expect DT Media to even further complement Appia Core with the goal of compounding October's growth driven by the following levers. First, at DT Media as Bill mentioned we have currently expanded to eight slots across all U.S. carriers, which offers significant revenue potential we are all very excited about.

But we have not yet fully realized it. To that end it is important to note that while we are effectively doubling our inventory and revenue potential we need to ensure that with such increase we do not see diminished rates of return on each incremental slot so that more slots actually translate into material incremental performance.

Our nice sales and yield management teams are laser focused on this given the significant potential impact on both revenue and gross profit. Second, our sales team has also been preparing for widespread DT Ignite distribution across carrier and OEM partners this holiday season.

We currently have backlog of demand with eight figure indications and commitments from a number of advertisers that are planning on buying out specific devices during the holiday season. Third, in our Content business we continue to see new customer wins for DT Pay which is driving organic constant currency growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

As to additional currency headwinds we would expect to see reported growth in this business. The momentum from carrier and OEM wins and the current tailwinds from Appia Core taken together lay the groundwork for positive fiscal Q3 results.

Having said that there is a significant amount of execution to complete and business to be conducted in the next five weeks so that we can responsibly give an update on our full year 2016 outlook. We currently have a revenue outlook $110 million to $130 million in the public domain for this fiscal year and we are not adjusting or reaffirming today.

As Bill mentioned we will be back to you in December once we have empirical data and results to give a complete picture of the remainder of the fiscal year as well as our path to profitability. To put things in perspective regarding adjusted EBITDA profitability let's build the illustrative bridge to get there.

The following example gives you a feel for the dynamics of our business model and the revenue mix in margin profile as we scale.

First let's assume revenues of $30 million split $10 million to $12 million at Appia Core a modest increase versus Q2 at the lower end of the range, $7.5 million of Content revenue stemming from increased DT Pay revenues without further currency headwinds and $10 million to $12 million of DT Media revenue largely driven by incremental device sell through and a sustained DT Ignite eight slots expansion across all U.S.

carriers.

Second, with this revenue mix and assuming our Q2 reported adjusted gross margins for each business with slight margin accretion from positive operational momentum and diversification across DT Ignite distributor partners, mid to upper 40s for DT Media, 20s for Appia Core and mid-teens for Content, the resulting gross profit would be in the $8.5 million to $9 million range.

Third and finally, assuming a flat to modest increase in GAAP costs versus our Q2 reported $8.2 million in OpEx adjusted gross profit in the aforementioned range would be sufficient to cover OpEx and turn yield positive adjusted EBITDA.

That said, to reiterate Bill's message we are committed to improving expectations management and trust that this effort will provide greater clarity to investors. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator would you please give instructions for Q&A..

[Operator Instructions] Our first question is from Mike Malouf of Craig-Hallum Capital Group. Please go ahead..

Great. Thanks a lot and appreciate all the color on the call it was very helpful. My first question is with regards to the slots.

You said eight slots a couple of times and then you said 8 to 10 slots once and I am just trying to get a sense of how -- what is the actual number of the slots and in particular have you seen any degradation in any phones that have had eight slots to-date? Because I think there are some phones that have more slots than four..

Thanks, Mike. Sure. So yes, on the slots I referenced the folders and what I think you are going to see us ultimately dealing with some partners is moving to on the situation where apparently on your phone you have the games folder, you have a music folder, you have a social folder and so on.

And that will actually offer us the opportunity to put more applications onto the phone obviously in a targeted way. So that folder's content required some collaboration with the OEMs in terms how those actually physically get placed in Android. So that was really the reference there to how we see slot expansion going beyond eight.

What we are doing with our U.S. operative partners right now is we have just recently kicked off putting eight onto the device and now really in the process of looking at it in terms of per app and per device and a lot of focus on just some operational things scaling the back end infrastructure in advance of the holiday.

So in other words, things like hosting, IP addresses, those kinds of things just to make sure their operational readiness to handle the increased demand. So you are really seeing us here in early November focused on the operational readiness against the slots.

So one of the things we want to do is make sure we have got that operational readiness, make sure that we don't have the diminishing returns that you referenced in terms of adding additional slots on many things that indicates that so far, but we want more data costs, more devices.

And then we want to make sure that on the scale across the entire device lineup of our U.S. carrier based partners and that allows that clarity to come back with you. The bottom line is it's a net positive for the business in a material way.

How much of it is, that's why I want to have a few weeks of performance under my belt to come back and provide some clarity..

Okay. Great.

And then can you go over again the AT&T rollout as you talked about? Specifically, I think you are going to be rolling it out you said using the wizard, the setup wizard and I am just wondering, how did the slots -- how should we think about number of slots with regards to AT&T and are they rolling out that wizard in time for the Samsung Galaxy S7 to be released?.

Sure. The first thing I mentioned is, obviously AT&T and the first one is Cricket, and Cricket has been very aggressive moving Android smartphones. Obviously also with Cricket being a prepaid customer they want to maximize revenue per device.

So I would anticipate Cricket being fairly aggressive on how they want to go about using the silent install which is more than using the other partners around the globe today and right now we anticipate that coming in the March for us. So that will be Phase 1.

Phase 2 with AT&T more broadly, as you referenced we will have the wizard, how we think about the slots is it could be anywhere from zero to dozens depending on what the customer selects.

So as you are going through the setup process, you will have a screen that comes to, that says, okay install your social apps, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, et cetera. [indiscernible] Pandora's Auto 5, whatever are your games and all the way down. So however many the customer selects will be how many we deliver.

I don’t know if we are in a position today to provide any specific guidance on what the average number of slots will be. One of the things we do know from like products being introduced in other markets is that the average price per slot tends to be higher because of the nature of the customer self-selecting the application.

So we would expect to see higher per slot fees, how many slots, I think it's a little bit early for us to get into that as it is still a number of months away from us..

One more follow-up on American Movil.

Can you remind us how many devices roughly on the Android side that they are selling per month? And then how should we think about their -- because I know they have been pretty aggressive in the past, how should we think about them with regards to the number of slots?.

Yes. American Movil's moving on 40 million Android phones per year right now. And if you look globally at just smartphone statistics you are seeing decreased growth rates in developed markets like the United States and in definitely increasing growth rates in emerging markets such as Latin America.

So we are very optimistic that those numbers should continue to improve. But just to give investors some context here, that would be more Android devices than AT&T and Verizon combined here for American Movil and while we do anticipate the yields to be lower just given the dynamics of the markets, such as Brazil and Argentina and Mexico and so on.

We are excited about the relationship because for American Movil they are already pre-loading an application today to handle a lot of the app recommendation and discovery work.

But they don't have the capabilities to install applications, have the ability to track what's happening and provide updates, provide marketing a variety of other features and functionality which Ignite will help them do.

So they had a need in the marketplace to solve an existing problem versus a situation where starting with a greenfield such as what we do with Verizon and what we will be doing with AT&T. So we believe that will be a very material agreement for us. As I referenced we expect to have that ready to go in the March quarter.

We are already having commerce between Digital Turbine and American Movil through our Appia business today. We have already launched that. So we are off to a good start.

So as I referenced before and we will come back to you guys in December, have some more specifics as we are real-time on working through the implementation details with American Movil..

Okay. Great. Thanks. Thanks for the help..

Our next question is from Brian Alger of ROTH Capital Partners. Please go ahead..

A lot of data tonight, still with the commentary with regards to an eight figure backlog with multiple advertisers, what does that mean? Obviously I know what eight figures is, but certainly we haven't seen you guys put up eight figures in any of your revenue lines..

Yes. What we mean here is that we have insertion orders or IOs from advertisers in excess of $10 million. So in other words, if we can run it on quality supply sources, then we can go ahead and generate the revenue.

The key there and I referenced in my comments is the quality supply sources and that's a major focus area for us right now, not only on the syndicated network throughout Appia Core.

But also more strategically as we launch our programmatic and real-time bidding business that will actually offer the ability to go bid on more supply sources at quality using our data times algorithms and allow us to really leverage all of that demand and backlog we have from insertion orders that want to ensure their quality app installs..

And kind of along those lines you talked about a pretty sizeable difference at least in percentage terms for your CPP rates, when it's targeted versus not targeted.

Where are we in terms of having that ability to use third party data for targeting and is that something that we should expect to be implemented basically at all the time going forward or is it only in certain seasons or how should we think about that targeting?.

Yes. Ultimately the third party is going to dictate how and when they want us to use that with them, since it's in their interest too. What I am pleased to announce is that we are doing it at scale.

On prior on our -- I mean on our prior earnings call we talked about that we had some campaigns launched and we talked about doing at this scale, now we have got the ability to do this in much more automated fashion.

And if you think about all the different segments in permutations of age, gender, income, language preference, location, and so on and all the different things that can get to do this tweak of segment, this tweak of go, this tweak of the language and so on. You can get into many, many different permutations of options.

So having the ability to do this at scale and in an automated fashion is really what I most excited about and we have seen a lot of advertiser demand to come in and say, okay can you target males between the ages of 25 and 45, can you target people in Southern California, can you target females that do this or people who speak Spanish do this and so on.

So those kinds of capabilities to do at scale is something we expect to continue to do. But obviously the third-party that has the data will dictate the terms by which we can help them with our targeting capabilities..

Would it be wrong to think about, in a seasonally strong period, when there is a lot of demand obviously with your backlog and it being in the carrier's best interest to utilize that information that if we are looking at eight slots and we have that kind of number for CPP why wouldn't we just load up on that?.

Yes. And that's precisely what the game plan is Brian. We just literally over this past weekend started that with one of our largest operators. So I want to make sure I have got some data and some empirical results under my belt before we get over our skis on it. But the opportunity here is exactly as you say, it is enormous for us.

But let's get some results under our belt, let's show our ability to accrete this and scale this and then when we can come back with some clarity on exactly where it's going..

Will it be also reasonable to think that CPP rates given that they have 100% reliability here, would be driving the math for a CPI or a CPA type of rate card?.

Absolutely. So we are continually measuring CPI rates against CPP rates and getting better, as the CPI campaign in May performed differently on a Samsung Galaxy S6 compared to a Motorola Droid, even though it’s the same campaign.

So we are continually optimizing that formula and one is I am excited by what I referenced, relationship with the new operators here today, where we can do a lot of this trialing and experimentation to really get the formula optimized for what we are doing.

But we definitely continue to expect to launch CPI campaigns, it's not just going to a pure CPP model. This is one of those things we are to going to continue to optimize the business..

Great. I will get back in the queue..

Our next question is from Sameet Sinha of B. Riley. Please go ahead..

A couple of questions. So in the commentary that you have given there is a lot of positives here everything that kind of points you towards a much higher guidance number for the next [two] years. So my question is why would you not affirm guidance? You could say that it is conservative but still affirm and then come out and beat it.

So if you can address that and then I have a couple of follow-ups..

Yes, sure, Sameet I will take that and I will let Andrew add some color on to it. So for us -- let me start this one on a macro perspective and we will drill down to the micro. From a macro perspective what we know is the following things. We know that we have got new customers who want our products as evidenced by the recent contracts.

We know that the existing customers that we have want to do more with our software. We know that our yields pretty wise, from some of the questions Brian was just asking around CPP and CPI are getting better as our ability to get to the right customer.

So all of those macro trends make us very enthusiastic and excited and hopefully give investors some clarity and reassurance around the much bigger picture of the ability to ramp this business with specific data points now versus just talking about it.

However at a micro level we now have to translate that into specific daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly revenue numbers and in what's going to happen in January, what's going to happen in March. It's not a question of happening it's a question of when.

So what we want to do is we've learned that we are very good at forecasting things once we have got a trend line behind us. Many of the things we talked about today, I don't have that trend line yet.

So I don't want to get ourselves in a situation where we are whipsawing investors around and talking about guidance in advance of the largest period of device sales, in advance our ability to prove out the eight slots, in advance of our launch date of all these new customers.

So especially if we are talking about 30 days versus three months, I'd much rather come back, do an improved job with expectation management based upon facts and data and results than speculate on those three things and then in 30 days they could all materially change.

The good news is they are all positive things, but what the exact impact of those things is going to be I don't know yet and so until we have those empirical things under our belt we think the prudent thing is to come back with some more clarity in 30 or so days..

So what you are saying is that when you gave the full year guidance, you had kind of implied assumptions for some of these positive things in those numbers. Now you just want more room to operate within some of the new parameters that you have..

Yes. I want to know what the risk discount rates of all those parameters. So we talk about the slot expansion for example, while I haven't done that at scale yet.

We are now doing it, it's real, it's happening, but in terms of making sure that we got all the back end infrastructure, the IP addresses, some of the things I referenced earlier are in place. I want to make sure that's there. I want to make sure that the device sell through forecast that we believed before will continue to hold true.

I want to make sure make sure that the device launches for all these new customers we have announced, I'm working in real-time, we will have answers over the next 30 days. I want to make sure that we have got good tight forecasting around those things.

So the combination of those things will give us the clarity in 30 days to get much more precise with investors based upon empirical results and that's really what we wanted to do here today..

Thank you for the clarity. Next question, just wanted to delve deeper into the sell through rate or the attach rate that you are seeing. The trend as you see many of your carrier partners and your relationship goes into year two or call it versus the end of year one.

How are those trending? Is that trending as per scale? Are you being installed on more of the newer devices that are coming out? Can you shed some light there and of course is that a similar pattern that we expect AT&T to develop? I understand you have guidance basically indicated that it's going to start contributing in 2016, but should we assume that the first year attach rate or sell through rates are going to be low and then kind of pick up in the second year?.

Every operator is going to be a little bit different Sameet in terms of how they approach. However with that being said, I think that what we saw in the early days with Verizon, well over a year ago, is that you had a product in the marketplace that hasn't been as battle tested as it is now.

So our ability to point to that battle testing, point to those launches tends to get our new operator customers much more comfortable with the ability to scale. On a specific example that is Vodafone in Australia, when they launched they attached Ignite to 100% of their devices out of the gate.

There wasn't any, well let's trial for a couple of devices and then we will see what happens and move on. They went 100% right out of the gates. So our contracts out with Deutsche Telekom where we had some unique security issues that we're dealing with and so they took a much more cautious rollout on a country by country basis.

So each operator is going to be a little bit different. I think as it relates to AT&T, they have been a great partner so far. They put a lot of energy into this and so our anticipation is that they are really leaning in here and I wouldn't anticipate them doing this much leaning in just to really slow ramp this thing..

Thank you very much..

Our next question is from Jon Hickman of Ladenburg Thalmann. Please go ahead..

Can you tell us what the average slot per device was in October as things got pretty good there?.

Yes, Jon, it depends on operator. But I had generally say for October it was right around four or just north of four on a global basis. Some of the activities we have done and talked about today are things that recently just happened and I am hard pressed to explain that..

And then American Movil is that included in new customers that equals this 500 million new subscribers?.

Yes..

And you expect American Movil to be contributing to revenues in the March quarter?.

Correct..

Let's see, you seem to be talking about AT&T and Cricket as kind of separate entities, can you elaborate on that?.

Yes. They are definitely one entity. I am talking about in separate entities in the sense that Cricket will be deploying Ignite how most investors understand Ignite today, mean a silent install. You pull your phone out of the box, applications targeted you show up on your device. Cricket is deploying in that manner.

AT&T is looking at it a little bit differently through the setup wizard which is you pull your phone out of the box, you go through a setup wizard and as your setting up all your things, your emails, your contacts, et cetera, you will be prompted to then select which applications you want to put on your device.

That's part of Ignite 2.0 with the setup wizard. AT&T has some unique and customer requirements that we need to integrate into hence us being conservative and talking about that in the conference at the June quarter..

But haven't you been dealing with -- Cricket's been a customer for more than a year now, hasn't it?.

Yes. We have had Cricket as a customer for a long time back before they were purchased by AT&T, Jon.

And then after Cricket was purchased by AT&T, what happened is AT&T shutdown all the Cricket subscribers on their CDMA network and then migrated them over to AT&T's traditional 3G and 4G LTE networks to free up that spectrum for other things AT&T wanted to use. So as a result of that AT&T and Cricket were not focused on putting Ignite on new devices.

Now that that issue is behind them they can now refocus on putting it on additional devices..

And then can you go over, you were talking really fast. Can you go over the factors in the quarter that kind of limited your DT Media business? You mentioned one which is device sell through, but you mentioned several others..

Yes, absolutely. There were a couple of things that happened. First is, there happened to be occasion where an operator wanted us to run a house app, which would be their branded app or something they got a relationship with and anyways it was not a revenue generating app but it continues to slot.

That's not in the operator's interest at all times, but sometimes there will be one-offs that want those apps to be down on a specific device. Second, is we do see some advertisers that want to save some dry powder for the holidays and really pack the holiday devices. I know some of the ones that are out there.

We also, as I mentioned, we saw our revenues increase outside the United States from October till September, they increased by 50%, so that's going to bring your weighted average down.

And then finally, it was back to Brian's question around targeting, as we mentioned we are now at scale to do targeting earlier on in the quarter, in the early months of the quarter we were not, hence advertisers wanted to wait until we had some of that targeting capability as did we, because they are willing to pay higher CPP rates to us to do that.

So the combination of those factors were the things that really drove our yield per device for the quarter. For future quarters and looking more forward, obviously the expansion of slots will take the aggregate number up to or above our $2 range that we guided to earlier..

One last thing, Andrew, can you -- how long does this amortization going to last?.

Well we have amortization you should expect in the $2 million per quarter range for the foreseeable future. That relates back to both our MIA and now Appia acquisition. We put it on the books..

I was talking about Logia..

That was a one -- the $2.4 million was a one-time write-off this quarter. So therefore it's a one-time event and hence why we show on an EPS basis, EPS ex-items at $0.10 per share versus the $0.14 loss on a reported basis given the fact that this is a one-time event..

That's detailed in your extra?.

So in our tables in the press release we have a non-GAAP reconciliation to non-GAAP EPS. Just note that one of the reasons why gross profit on a reported basis was virtually -- was roughly $77,000 was because of this $2.4 million charge hit us in the cost of goods sales line..

That's it for me..

Our next question is from Ilya Grozovsky of National Securities. Please go ahead..

It's Ilya Grozovsky, thanks. Just wanted to get back to your comments on the guidance. When you issued the guidance I guess six months ago and then reiterated it on the last conference call three months ago or so.

Did you have better visibility then than you do now?.

No. I wouldn't say, we clearly got better visibility now, but in terms of now getting granular there we want to make sure that -- again we are talking about 30 days, we are not talking about three months or six months. We think it's better rather than running the risk of whipsawing investors around.

That we believe that taking -- or given the date on the calendar we are at, if we are having this call in December I had give you a different answer.

But given the date that we are having this call on I feel much more comfortable to provide investors clarity on empirical data in results and an ability for us to extrapolate out that line in the rearview mirror on these new business units versus speculate on exactly what it's going to be and speculate on how many devices a large operator in the U.S.

is going to sell on Black Friday, I don't know the answer to that. We got to guesstimates based upon our history but I can't forecast that with a crystal ball, so let's come back in 30 days with some clarity..

Since before your guidance was a range $110 million to $130 million, would it be safe to assume that a number below $110 million you would be personally disappointed in and numbers above that you would be happy with?.

We are always going to be pleased with higher numbers, that's for sure. But, yes, again we are going to come back in 30 days, we will provide some clarity on a lot of this Ilya and get very specific on some of the granularity..

Then my other question was, in terms of the devices so you have now had about six months of a track record with four apps on let's say at Verizon. When you think about, what percentage of new Android buyers or upgraders click on one of those apps or two or three or four, if you think about it that way as opposed to the yield for the phone in general.

Just what percentage click on just one of the four apps that you present to them? Is that 80% or what's the number look like?.

Yes. I think you've to look at over the access of time. So if I want to look at it over the course of a year that number should be very, very high. If I want to look at it over the course of seven days it's going to be lower. So anyway that's going to depend on the app. What we see is really we maximize the device.

So we see campaigns with open rates that we have been paid on, in the mid-60% range. We have seen campaigns that we are paid on that were in the 10% range and everything else in between on that in terms of CPI campaigns and we will continue to optimize on those.

On the CPPs that Brian was referencing, we get paid on a 100% of the applications whether a customer opens it or doesn't open it. And that's a much different dynamic..

Okay. Thank you..

Our next question is a follow-up from Brian Alger of ROTH Capital Partners. Please go ahead..

Obviously a lot going on here. It seems to me that with the highest slot count and with even a non-targeted CPP rate we should be seeing some pretty substantial growth coming in this quarter. I wonder if some of the uncertainties with regards to the March quarter, because I know that in the past we felt that March could see a sequential increase.

Is that another thing that's a variable?.

Yes, absolutely, Brian. There is three variables here.

One is, device sell through for the holidays; the second variable is, the ability in terms of eight slots scales with any potential diminishing returns rather operational things to deliver those increased payload to each device; and then the final one is, what you just mentioned which is, what's the impact from the new launches.

We have got visibility into these launches today. Over the next 30 or so days though it would seem we had get much more precise on specific devices and specific dates.

And so that visibility will also help us in terms of the annual guidance by providing greater clarity rather than just saying March quarter or June quarter, we can say February and we can believe February was this much impact based upon these device forecasts.

And those are things that I have got an idea of today, but I will have much greater clarity in December..

Then just one backwards looking question, as we look at the $4.1 million in the Advertising revenue attributable to DT Media. We have a lower revenue per device number there.

Would it be appropriate to look at that total dollar amount divided by the revenue per device and come up with a unit number and compare that to the June quarter or is there something else going on? Because I mean intuitively we should have seen flat units to something better given a full quarter with the asset..

Yes. I think the math obviously as we have discussed in the past Brian works just that way. The only impact obviously in the June quarter as in my prepared remarks was higher professional services, which we report in the $4.1 million vis-a-vis the $3.2 million in the June quarter.

But pro forma professional services you can back out yield to get an [perfect] number of devices..

The other thing I mentioned Brian in terms of devices is, out in the June quarter you had a number of new launch devices, in the September quarter you only had the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is really the new material device that came out then. So I think that's going to impact your volumes a little bit from quarter to quarter..

Thanks..

This concludes our question-and-answer session. I'd like to turn the conference back over to Mr. Stone for any closing remarks..

Great. Thanks for everyone for joining the call today. Next week we are going to be at the ROTH Capital Partners Technology Corporate Axis Day. We are focused and excited about our medium and long-term prospects and look forward to coming back to you in December with a report on our holiday selling and guidance. Have a great night. Thanks very much..

The conference is now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect..
