Backblaze, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLZE) Q3 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Page 6 of 6

Frank Patchel: Well, first of all, we are focused on growing revenue. Remember, we have the enormous opportunity out there, but we are driving operational efficiencies too. You can see it in our operating costs, our OpEx, which is fairly flat quarter-on-quarter. This quarter, it was actually below the previous. And part of that is that our headcount growth has really been slowing. We’re really fairly flat to last year in comparison. And we’re also going be able to leverage that expanded footprint in our data centers, which remember we expanded them during this year and now we can grow into them. But overall, we’re a growth company and we continue to drive growth with our investments. And we do still expect to reach cash flow positive by mid 2025 with all of that.
