Operator
Greetings. Welcome to Crexendo’s Fourth Quarter and Year End 2023 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to your host, Jeff Korn, CEO of Crexendo. You may begin.
Jeff Korn
Thank you, Paul, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Crexendo’s Fourth Quarter and Year End 2023 Conference Call. I am Jeff Korn, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO. On the call with me today are Doug Gaylor, our President and COO; Ron Vincent, our CFO; Jon Brinton, our CRO; and Anand Buch, our COO, - our CSO excuse me. In a moment, Jon will read our Safe Harbor statement. After that, I will give some brief comments on our performance for the year end and fourth quarter. Ron will then provide more detail on the numbers, before handing over the call to Doug to provide a business and sales update. After that, we'll open up the call up to questions. Jon, would you please read the Safe Harbor statement?

Jeff Korn
Thank you, Jon. I'm very pleased to report that in the fourth quarter, Crexendo once again achieved GAAP profitability. While my focus has been on cash flow and EBITDA as primary indicators of our operational health, maintaining GAAP profitability represents a significant milestone for us. This achievement is particularly meaningful as it marks roughly one year since I stepped into the CEO role, a period during which the management team last year deliberately paused our acquisition strategy to concentrate on maximizing the efficiencies of our existing operations and fully integrating the acquisitions we had already made. Our efforts have been very successful and continue to work well. In the fourth quarter, we maintained our commitment to driving robust growth alongside continual operational enhancements and sales improvements. Our efforts brought more fruit as we entered the fourth quarter with strong momentum accumulating in a remarkable 24% increase in fourth quarter revenue compared to the same period last year. This achievement is part of a broader success story for the year with our total a annual revenues climbing by an impressive 42% year-over-year to reach $53.2 million. These results are particularly noteworthy given the challenging start we had at the beginning of last year with an initial loss position in the first quarter. This turnaround reflects our team's hard work and dedication to not only achieving, but exceeding our strategic goals. This hard work and dedication continues every day by everyone with me in this room and everyone working at Crexendo. The transition of our customers from our classic Crexendo system to the cutting edge VIP platform is advancing smoothly and effectively. We are very optimistic about completing the migration by year end. Achieving this milestone will allow us significant operational efficiencies including vacating the premises we currently leased and eliminating the expense associated with hosting and an additional system. Furthermore, it will enable us to relocate our workforce more effectively, employees who have been dedicated to migrating customers and maintaining the old system will transition to new roles. This shift not only reduces cost, but also enhances our support capabilities aligning with our commitment to delivering exceptional service and value to our customers. Our journey over the last year has not been about chasing creating success, rather it's been a dedicated effort toward integrating our acquisitions thoroughly, enhancing operational efficiencies and overall improving our company's standing. The ability to quickly generate additional cash and achieve GAAP profitability is a testament to the strategic timing and value of our past acquisitions, affirming the strength of our business model and the mechanisms under which we review and approve acquisitions. As we move forward, we will again be pursuing accretive acquisitions with confidence in securing at least 1 meaningful addition to our portfolio this year. Though maintaining GAAP profitability might become more challenging as we embark on new acquisitions, due to the associated intangible costs, I am optimistic about our continued profitability, positive EBITDA and our capacity for growth and value creation. As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen and grow Crexendo, I am pleased to announce a series of strategic investments aimed at enhancing our operational capabilities and ensuring our competitive edge in the market. We are doubling down on our hosted platform, a cornerstone of our offering to maintain our position as the third largest and fastest growing platform in the country. The demand for our hosted solution is accelerating with more customers preferring our hosted platform over the hassle of managing and hosting themselves. Recognizing this shift, we are proactively investing in what we call Hosted 2.0. This initiative is not merely an upgrade, it's a transformation. Hosted 2.0 is designed to facilitate seamless growth, integration and provide the essential tools our licensees need to run their business effectively. Our current solution while excellent and effective needs to evolve to accommodate the growth we anticipate. Through that investment we are not just preparing for the future, we are shaping it. Our aim is to continue offering unparalleled service to our customers, while ensuring our platform remains robust, scalable and capable of integrating new technologies and acquisitions effortlessly. We're also upgrading our accounting system. This upgrade is not just a step toward modernization, it's a move to seamlessly integrate future acquisitions and manage the growth we are anticipating. The updated system will provide us with the agility to effectively - we effectively need to scale our future growth. In conclusion, our fourth quarter and year end results have been highly encouraging, serving as a testament to our strategic and operational strengths. Our technology continues to receive exceptional reviews and awards. Our team is excited about that and we're also looking forward to our communication system being used here at our hometown of Phoenix at the Final Four coming up next month. Looking ahead, we anticipate not only sustaining our double-digit organic growth, but also amplifying it through strategic acquisitions. The future is very, very bright for us. I along with our dedicated team am excited about the year ahead and our opportunities to continue our tremendous growth and success. We are committed to continual improvement in driving growth for our company, technological advancements for our customers and partners and value for all of our shareholders. With that, I'll turn the call over to Ron for more detail on the numbers. Ron?
Ron Vincent
Thank you, Jeff. Good afternoon, everyone. I'll start with some financial highlights for the fourth quarter of 2023. Total revenue for the quarter increased 24% to $14.2 million, compared to $11.4 million for the prior year. Our service revenue for the quarter increased 26% to $7.7 million, compared to $6.1 million for the prior year. Our Software Solutions segment revenue for the quarter increased 21% to $5.3 million compared to $4.4 million for the prior year. And product revenues for the quarter increased 23% to $1.2 million compared to $947,000 for the prior year. Operating expenses for the quarter decreased 69% to $14.1 million, compared to $46 million for the prior year. The significant decrease is primarily related to the goodwill and long live asset impairment of $32.7 million we reported in the prior year due to sustained decrease in our stock price. The company reported net income for the quarter of $61,000 which is breakeven on a basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $32.6 million or a $1.33 loss per basic and diluted common share for the prior year. Non-GAAP net income of $1.6 million for the quarter, $0.16 per basic and diluted common share as compared to $2.5 million or $0.10 per basic and $0.09 per diluted common share in the prior year. EBITDA for the quarter was $918,000, compared to a loss of $1 million for the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $1.7 million, and that's compared to $596,000 for the prior year. And I'll give you some highlights for the full year ended December 31st 2023. Total revenue for the year increased 42% to $53.2 million, compared to $37.6 million for the prior year. Service revenue increased 52% to $29.7 million. Our Software Solutions segment revenue increased 19% to $18 million, compared to $15.1 million in the prior year, and product revenue increased 90% to $5.5 million, compared to $2.9 million for the prior year. Operating expenses for the year decreased 27% to $54.9 million, compared to $74.9 million for the prior year. As discussed earlier, this significant decrease is primarily related to the goodwill and long lived assets. With two consecutive quarters of net income, the company was able to reduce net loss for the full year to $362,000 or $0.01 loss per basic and diluted common share, that's compared to a net loss of $35.4 million or $1.54 loss per basic and diluted common share in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income was $6.7 million for the year, that's $0.26 per basic common share and $0.24 per diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.1 million or $0.18 per basic and $0.16 per common share – diluted common share for the prior year. EBITDA for the year was $1.9 million, compared to a loss of $2 million for the prior year. Our adjusted EBITDA was $5.7 million for the year, as compared to $2.4 million for the prior year. Our cash balance at December 31st was $10.3 million as compared to $5.5 million at the end of the prior year. We had positive cash flows from operating activities of $3.5 million. The fourth quarter had positive operating cash flows of $2.6 million, compared to $887,000 for the first nine months of the year. Our investing activities provided $3.7 million of cash, compared to $1.7 million used for investing activities in the prior year. During the year, we received $3.8 million in proceeds from the sale of our corporate office building. We utilized $2.3 million of our cash for financing activities during the year, that's compared to $54,000 used in the prior year. In connection with the sale of our corporate office building, we repaid the note payable on the building of $2.3 million. I will now turn the call over to Doug Gaylor, our president and COO for additional comments on sales and operations.
Doug Gaylor
Thanks, Ron. I'm extremely pleased with our record Q4 and yearend numbers that we reported today and very excited about our strong momentum as we start 2024. Our 24% year-over-year increase in Q4 revenues, along with our 42% year-over-year increase in annual revenue were the direct results of our focus on growing organically, as well as through acquisition. Our growth combined with our dedication to managing cost allowed us to achieve GAAP profitability ahead of schedule and finished both Q3 and Q4 with positive GAAP earnings. We had GAAP net income of $60,000 for the quarter and a small GAAP loss for the year of $362k. On a non-GAAP basis, we had strong non-GAAP net income of $1.6 million for the quarter and $6.7 million or $0.26 per share for the year. Our results for the quarter and for the year highlight our success in managing costs and recognizing significant synergies from our acquisitions allowing us to quickly leverage the opportunity to grow our business. Our entire team worked tirelessly together to improve business processes and make our company more efficient and we believe we will continue to see more efficiencies and cost synergies as we continue our growth. Our acquisition of one of our Software Solution licensees, Allegiant Networks that we completed at the end of 2022 had a great first year under Crexendo. We saw nearly a 21% organic growth rate on a standalone basis for Allegiant as they benefited from transitioning from a local provider to a division of the fastest growing UCaaS provider in the country. We've also been able to benefit from cross utilization of the talent from our acquisitions to help improve our Revenue production per employee on an overall basis. As Jeff mentioned, we paused acquisition discussions in 2023 to maximize synergies from our previous acquisitions, and we're excited to be priming the pump for an additional for additional accretive acquisitions of one or two in 2024. We've highlighted in the past that the 220 licensees that we have that are using the Crexendo platform to run their UCaaS business are the ideal stocks fishing pond of candidates for us to our highly accretive acquisition targets and we look forward to landing our next big fish from the pond. We continue to see tremendous demand and growth in the UCaaS industry and are proud of the fact that Frost & Sullivan recently awarded us their 2024 North American strategy leadership award and highlighted our outstanding 36% user surge in 2023, which was nearly double the industry average. Our platform now supports over four million users across the globe. Our Crexendo licensees and our agents continue to benefit from the rapid migration by small and midsize businesses and enterprise level businesses to the cloud. As our licensees grow, they need additional services from Crexendo which helped drive a 19% organic growth rate on the Software Solutions side of the business for the year. Our unique pricing and support model for our Software Solutions platform, combined with our robust feature set continues to drive new licensees to our platform and allows us to differentiate ourselves from our two largest competitors, Cisco's BroadSoft and Microsoft’s Metaswitch platforms. We had great success in adding new licenses in 2023 and have left - that have left the likes of Cisco, Microsoft and Avaya for Crexendo and hope to see more of those in the year ahead. We also continue to see strong traction in our international efforts as we saw a large increase in bookings and new logos added in 2023 outside of the US. Our Telecom Services segment grew at 9% organically excluding our Allegiant acquisition and we saw strong demand for our offerings from our channel partners and saw 405% growth in sales for the year from our master agent partnerships. Our channel partners sell our services to their prospects and customers on a revenue share basis and we saw nice growth from our existing channel partners and added 28 new resellers to the program over the course of the year. Our channel partners have great confidence representing the Crexendo VIP offering because of our 100% uptime guarantee, along with our lifetime warranty on our Crexendo phones and our best-in-class customer service and customer satisfaction results. We continue to add new and larger agent partners to the programs and are excited about the opportunities in the funnel that these new agent partners are bringing to the table. Our backlog continues to grow and at the end of the year is now at $63.9 million, an increase of 36% from the end of 2022. Our backlog number is the sum of the remaining contract values for our Telecom Services and Software Solutions customers that will be recognized on a sliding scale over the next 60 months and it's a very strong indicator of our future revenue stream. We continue to focus on improving our gross margins and saw a nice increase from 65% to 69% for the year in our Software Solutions segment. Telecom Service segment gross margins continue to be affected by lower margins from some of the Allegiant acquisitions. But the Telecom service margins were 58% and Telecom Services product margins were 39% including Allegiant. Excluding Allegiant those margins were very consistent with prior year at 68% for Telecom Services and 42% on the product. Our amazing engineering team continues to add to and improve our award-winning technology. We were ranked by g2.com which is the premier business software and services review site as the best usability solution in the hosted telecom sector for the fall of 2023. We're also honored with the Remote Work Pioneer Award, as well as the Product of The Year award from INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. In addition, we released our Version 44 software in Q4 to great reviews. Version 44 allows for new Communication Platform as a Service or CPaaS capabilities via our open 2 - API2.0 release and this offering also allow us for new generative artificial intelligence or AI technology features to easily be integrated into the platform. The first AI solution released during Q4 allows for AI powered by ChatGPT in our company's contact center solution that enables the system to interact and enter commonly posed questions using AI without the need for a live body. So as we start 2024, I couldn't be more excited about the future direction and opportunity for Crexendo. Three years ago, we had revenues of $16.4 million and by executing well on our plan for organic and inorganic growth, we have more than tripled our size in three short years to over $53 million. We are positioned perfectly with the combination of strong demand for our product offerings, along with great solutions with a disruptive pricing model and the best and most talented workforce in the industry to continue our strong growth in our success. We're committed to delivering the best UCaaS CCaaS and CPaaS offerings in the sector to our customers and our partners and the best returns for our shareholders. As the fastest growing platform solution in the country supporting over four million users, we are focused on enhancing our solutions, improving our efficiencies and returning strong results. With that I'll now turn it back over to Jeff for any further comments.
Jeff Korn
Thank you, Doug. Actually, I don't have any further comments. So, Paul, why don't we now open the call up questions?
Operator
[Operator Instructions] And the first question [Technical Difficulty] Latimore from Northland Capital Market. Mike your line is live.
Michael Latimore
All right. Thanks. Yeah. Congrats on the great year there. Very, very nice.
Jeff Korn
Thank you, Mike.
Michael Latimore
Just on the users, 4 million or so relative to 3.5 million in the September quarter. Can you just give a little more detail on what drove that strong growth? I mean, 14% sequential growth is pretty impressive. Was it like a couple big onboarding there? Was it just kind of broad-based demand or?
Jeff Korn
Yeah, great question Mike, and it's really a combination of all of the above. So, when we think about last year, we had a 21 new logos, that our new platform providers of our platform. So as those new logos come on board, they tend to ramp up very quickly. So, if they're putting in a platform, once they go live, they move all of their customers or quickly try and move all of their customers from their old platform over to our new platform. So that obviously gives us a nice bump. But our existing licensees, 220 plus now in total, they're growing at the industry rate if not higher and so as they grow, we continue to grow. And so, our licensees are doing great out there. There's still a lot of demand in the SMB market for our services and our solutions. And so is our licenses continue to grow and add more users. It really allows us to see that that trajectory goes. So, uh the 3.5 million to 4 million was a pretty quick gate for us to eclipse and we anticipate getting to 4.5 million and 5 million here in the course of this year or so.
Michael Latimore
Great, great. And then on Allegiant, really strong growth for that entity alone, but how are you thinking about the cross sale opportunity with that group this year?
Jeff Korn
Yeah, great question again. So, when we look at the cross sales opportunity, a lot of opportunity for us to sell, the MSP services and the internet services that they're selling. If you look at their average size, transaction with their customers, it's much larger than our average size transaction on our direct side of the house. So, when we look at selling that bundle of services, we're excited about that prospect, Jon Brinton our Chief Revenue Officer is here. And so I'm going to have him just comment a little bit on some of that cross migration from the Allegiant team over to the Crexendo team.
Jon Brinton
Yeah, Hi, Mike. How are you doing today? Good, back up super quick on the growth, one thing as Doug mentioned the Frost & Sullivan Leadership award that we got and then that we are benchmarked at growing double the rate of the market by them and that's something that we continue to appreciate because of the success of our licensees and continuing to grow there. As it relates to the Allegiant cross sale opportunity, we think that's going to give us a significant opportunity to increase our share of wallet with customers for the services that make sense. We've been integrating some of our operations and support teams. So customers continue to get the great experience like we talked about with our G2 rankings. And we're now starting to look at those services that we can bring into the bundle on what we call the VIP side of the house, so that we can add those to our offerings there. So we're excited to do it. We're just doing it in a purposeful way, so that we make sure we're still delivering the same customer experience and excellent outcome like we have in the past.
Michael Latimore
Excellent. Excellent. I want one more quick one here, I guess, can you provide any color on just how January and February have paid off from bookings perspective? Kind of is it normal seasonality? Better, worse how do you see January and February relative to kind of those normal months, the start of the year?
Ron Vincent
Josh, as you know, we don't we don't get guidance, but I'm sorry, Mike, we don't give guidance Mike. But as I said in my comments, I'm very pleased with the results we're seeing for Q1. So, I don't want to say much more than that. But I wouldn't have indicated that we expect double-digit growth if we didn't see Q1 going well.
Jeff Korn
Yeah, and I would tell you Mike, that sales momentum is uh is very strong right now. We continue to add new reseller partners out there and our funnel for sales opportunities is as strong as it's ever been. So, we're not seeing any slowdown in opportunities out there and bookings continue to have great momentum.
Michael Latimore
All right. Great. [Indiscernible]
Jeff Korn
Thank you.
Ron Vincent
Thanks, Mike.
Operator
Thank you. The next question is coming from Josh Nichols from B. Riley. Josh, your line is live.
Josh Nichols
Yeah, thanks for taking my question. Just because you mentioned you've been doing a lot of work to finish the migration to the Crexendo VIP platform and it looks like that's going to be done this year. You said service gross margins excluding the Allegiant acquisition were around 68%. Do you expect that you get back to that level for the entire company at the - by the end of this year if you do complete that migration?
Jeff Korn
Yeah, I'll tell you where the migration is currently and then I'll have Ron add a little bit more color on where we see the pick up from a gross margin perspective once that migration is complete. But we feel like we're about 70% complete with that migration right now. So, we're almost three quarters of the way there. So, just said by the end of the year, I'm a little bit more optimistic that might be towards the end of summer. And so we're extremely excited about that migration process. The customers are extremely happy because they're getting more robust feature set for - in most cases roughly the same cost investment. But once we get that full migration over, we get a lot of pickup because we'll have a lot of cost that will go away in supporting two platforms and Ron will add a little bit more color on that.
Ron Vincent
Yeah, Josh, so, we will have a little bit of anticipated pickup in our gross margins as we no longer have to support two platforms and an extra datacenter. But it's hard to pinpoint exactly what that percentage point is going to be to give guidance on that. We're going to continue to have lower margin sales out of the Allegiant acquisition, just due to the nature of the products and services they sell. And so that's going to have a little weight on there. So we may not get back to the 70 to 72 range that we were trending prior to the acquisition. But we expect some improvement as we go forward.
Josh Nichols
Fair enough. Good to hear that there is probably going to be some improvement. And then just curious because you did hit the pause done on acquisitions understandably, so right, for the last year but it looks like you're back at it. What are kind of like the companies, KPIs or criteria in terms of like the size, gross margin, gross profitability or how you think of?
Jeff Korn
All of the above, I mean, all of the above to be honest. As Doug likes to say we look at our stocked fishing pond and we have some natural people there obviously our preference would be to pick up one of our licensees because that becomes a very easy acquisition. We essentially just have to change the billing from their name to Crexendo and we've got everything working and we can usually pick up some good engineers, vendor customer service people. But we're open to an acquisition that incorporates technology or other aspects that can help us grow our business. I mean, we're obviously looking at a number of things now and I don't want to tip my hand on the call. But the metrics you mentioned are the things we look at.
Doug Gaylor
And there's plenty of opportunities out there as we talked about and when we look at those size of opportunities, it's not necessarily the uh the size of the opportunity but how well it's going to integrate into our company and be an accretive acquisition. So, plenty of opportunities out there and we're excited about the opportunities that are surfacing.
Josh Nichols
Appreciate it. Thanks guys.
Jeff Korn
Thank you.
Operator
Thank you. The next question is coming from Max Michaelis from Lake Street. Max, your line is live.
Max Michaelis
Hey guys, a nice quarter. First one out of me is just related to international Revenue. Where did that finish out in Q4 as a percentage of revenue? And then maybe, we're looking out into 2024, it sounds like Q4 bookings were strong there. But what could we expect maybe as goalpost for percentages of revenue in 2024 from the international space?
Jeff Korn
I'm going to let Ron answer the percentage question and then give it to Anand to discuss our international sales a little bit more. Go ahead, Ron.
Ron Vincent
So currently, the international revenue is less than 5% of our total revenue. But we're continuing to see traction in that area and I'll let Anand give you some more details on our sales efforts in international locations.
Anand Buch
Yeah, so, internationally, even with a pretty small effective team, we've started seeing some growth in the Australian markets. We're seeing obviously, because our team is based out of the UK, we have a number of partners now that are continuing to grow. And that's going back to the earlier question about the users that's where you are seeing obviously an uptick, because we're kind of early in the journey with respect to the international partners that’s out there. So, Europe, we have some uh opportunities now in APAC as well that we're looking at. So it's a pretty widespread, but we're also being very purposeful if you will, given the locations and the relationships that we have with the size of our team. so, EMEA is kind of the target number one. Australia and New Zealand partners in that area and then APAC after that.
Max Michaelis
All right. Thank you. Next one. Just I wonder if you can go into more detail on the Hosted 2.0 investment, as well as the accounting system. Maybe put a size to the investment you expect maybe in 2024?
Jeff Korn
Yeah, Max. I think we're going to spend well, we put it in our 10-K. So we've contracted with Oracle who's going to be providing hosting and back-end support to us which opens up a world of opportunities for us. I think we'll probably spend about $300,000 this year, Ron? And probably $1 million next year. As we expect the growth to accelerate substantially next year as we have the Hosted solution fully up and running.
Max Michaelis
All right, guys. That's it for me. Thanks.
Operator
Thank you. The next question is coming from John Roy from Water Tower Research. John your line is live.
John Roy
Thank you. And so, to take a step back a little bit, maybe I know you mentioned you’re getting started on AI. I was curious as to other areas you might be looking to exploit it. Is it more better customer experience? More cost control? Are you going to try and look at it to help with sales? Just if you give us any color on projects you've got going on there that would be great.
Jeff Korn
So AI allows us a lot of different user case scenarios. And so when we talked about AI, it's really a opportunity for applications to integrate with our system. And so we've got a lot of third-party developers out there that are developing AI applications for different use cases. So currently, as I mentioned on my comments, one of the use cases is having contact center capabilities where a live body gets replaced with an AI interface using ChatGPT to be able to pull up questions and answers and be able to eliminate maybe 80%, 90% of commonly asked questions without having a human to interface with that. But we've also got a lot of other AI applications, sentiment analysis, being able to do call recordings and be able to analyze those call recordings and be able to act on those call recordings and have a supervisor join in when something gets said or if there's a sentiment that is highlighted that uh needs to be elevated or escalated to a to a superior or manager. So a lot of applications there but, Anand, you want to maybe give a little bit more detail on some of our third-party application partners out there that are developing AI applications?
Anand Buch
Yeah, and I’d be happy to. So, yeah, just I mean, as Doug pointed out, I mean, I think AI is a tool opens up to many, many different use cases, but some of the examples that we're seeing is, for example, generative voice prompts or music on hold and things of that nature that are customized to a particular SMB or a particular business. So you're seeing anything from actual, voice system AI applications that are upward facing. But then one other point I'd like to make also is just from a productivity perspective when developers are using it internally to code check to provide an extra pair of eyes that ultimately just makes the tedious works we're able to actually rapidly accelerate some of that work using internal AI systems to help guide our work, as well. But In terms of the third-party applications, there's a whole host of folks. If you think about the four million users that are out there and growing there's - whether it's uh CRM integrations whether it's um voice specific integrations, just Doug obviously mentioned voice services whether it's sentimen analysis, summarization, things of that nature, a whole host of application providers that are now part of the ecosystem and growing into the ecosystem as we go forward.
John Roy
Great. Hey, and a slightly different question. I believe you said you're going to be moving out of some buildings. Can you give us some color on how much you expect to see there?
Jeff Korn
Well, I think Doug explained that – Ron explained that before. We will have some substantial cost savings as we won't be maintaining two systems, but it's a little hard for us to quantify how much it is. But if we don't take out at least $1 million in costs, I would be very surprised.
Doug Gaylor
And on top of that …
John Roy
Great. I'm really talking about building.
Doug Gaylor
Yeah, and on top of that - yeah, we're currently we're currently doing a sale lease back. So after we sold our building we did a 12-month lease back with a 6-month extension option. And so, when we were looking at new spaces out there in the Phoenix market to relocate our corporate headquarters to - we anticipate that we'll pick up some significant cost savings on a monthly basis. So there's a lot of empty space out there and some attractive deals out there. So, we feel that once we uh relocate out of this building will not only have the significant savings on the support of our data center, but we'll also have cost savings on our monthly expense for rent and services.
John Roy
Great. Thanks so much and congratulations on the growth.
Jeff Korn
Thank you.
Doug Gaylor
Thanks, John.
Operator
Thank you. The next question is coming from Chris Sakai from Singular Research. Chris, your line is live.
Chris Sakai
Hi, yes. Hi. Good afternoon. I just had a question on Allegiant. And if you could - I know last quarter you had a carve out for gross margin. I know it was a little less than the overall segment. So wanted to see if you could - if there was any Improvement there with the Allegiant gross margin?
Ron Vincent
Yeah. So, we do have carve out on that. So, our Crexendo Business Solutions service revenue came in, in fourth quarter at 67%. Allegiant came in at 37% for service revenue and our product revenue from Crexendo Business Solutions was 45%, up slightly from 42% in Q3 And Allegiant product revenue came in at 35% for the quarter.
Chris Sakai
Okay. Sounds good. And just talking about AI, will that be leading to any cost savings as far as taking the place of any jobs?
Jeff Korn
Yeah, when we look at AI, it's really more from a sales perspective and a revenue generator for us because all of our licensees and all of our end-user customers are looking for aspects where AI will help their businesses. We're going to be using some of it internally for customer support, but it won't be replacing positions, but it'll just allow us to continue our great customer support. And we're already ranked number one in g2.com. So, maybe we'll be a one A plus with our AI interfaces.
Doug Gaylor
It will improve our access to information to customer service and should shorten our response time. So to that extent, it may enable us not to use some of the future hires we have in our budget. But we certainly don't anticipate cutting anybody because we're very proud of our customer support and we won't do anything to mess up that apple cart.
Chris Sakai
Okay. Sounds good. And then, can you talk about license growth internationally. How is that going?
Jeff Korn
We'll give it back to Anand,
Anand Buch
Yeah. Sure. Yeah, I mean I think, as Ron pointed out earlier, the number of logos that we had coming in from international it continues to grow in that regard across the board. We've picked up probably another 3 or 4 logos in the in the UK, one out in Australia. And so that continues to see a chart. We've also increased our staff and focus in that area with respect to the marketing that we are doing there. So, that expansion continues both companies that are headquartered out there and then in general we are actually seeing folks now starting to expand, which have operations in the UK, but they may heard in the US, But they may have remote offices, et cetera. So, I think we continue to see that across the board.
Chris Sakai
Okay. Thanks.
Jeff Korn
Thanks. Thanks Chris. Appreciate it.
Operator
Thank you. And the next question is coming from Michael Kaufman from MK Investments. Michael, your line is live.
Doug Gaylor
Good evening, Michael. Hi, Jeff, and
Michael Kaufman
Hi, Jeff and Doug. I want to congratulate you and the team for maintaining balanced growth in both revenue and profits which is unusual in this segment of the industry. And a specific question I had is, the Telcloud partnership, is there any way to get a handle on what the potential expansion of the total available market is either for user growth or revenue potential because I don't have any statistics on that?
Jeff Korn
Mike, I'm going to let Jon answer that. Jon, go ahead.
Jon Brinton
Yeah, hi, Michael good to hear from you again. So we're - JumpCloud specifically is what we call a POTS line replacement or a Plain Old Telephone Service replacement. You may have seen recently that AT&T filed with the state to be able to - if there will decommission all of their traditional copper line service in the State of California. And also see recently where it's some places because this is a service that's deterred by the FCC that companies, individuals are being charged over a $1000 a line in some cases with price increases they're seeing. So the industry estimates are in the US there is over 5 - 5 million lines of service that are currently traditional POTS services. And so the Telcloud partnership is specifically targeted to find a way to migrate those type of services so they can be supported in the cloud as that copper infrastructure is retired. So if you think of the service that won't value fax lines, alarm lines, fire alarm lines and any other type of analog line that hasn't been something that's been easily moveable to the cloud in the past, the POTS line replacement service gives us and our licensees a great opportunity to be able to participate in the migration of those 5 million plus lines there.
Michael Kaufman
Yeah, it sounds like an interesting entry, because of the legal requirements to sustain that stuff to get you and into these companies and enhance the growth prospects. So, it sounds like an interesting opportunity.
Jon Brinton
That we're very excited about it.
Michael Kaufman
But great job overall.
Jeff Korn
Thank you, Michael.
