We currently estimate our fourth quarter revenue to range between $8.6 and $9.1 million with Adjusted EBITDA between $3.0 and $3.5 million. Based on our fourth quarter estimate, our full year 2018 revenue is projected to range from $31.2 to $31.7 million, approximately 33% to 35% growth compared to $23.4 million in 2017 and our Adjusted EBITDA for 2018 is projected to be range from $10.8 to $11.3 million compared to $9.5 million in 2017.
