Management Commentary

"It was another strong quarter, owing in part to our solutions contributing to the work from home initiatives undertaken as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic" said David Karp, CEO of CounterPath. "While we are optimistic about our recent upward trends, we are also preparing for seasonal challenges associated with the winter holidays in this current quarter, as well as continued uncertainty relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic."
