In addition to these three wins, additional collaboration opportunities are moving through our sales pipeline. As a result, we are serving an increasingly wide array of end customers, representing diversified and growing demand for our customized solutions. Our backlog, which reached record levels at the end of the third quarter, has grown since then.
