In a notice to investors, SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN) said that it is set to announce its financial and operating highlights after market close on Thursday, May 7. It will hold a conference call to elaborate on the results.

Investors are expected to watch for the company’s updated outlook for the short-term period, given the installation of an interim chief finance officer (CFO) following the departure of Nitesh Sharan to assume a leadership role in a quantum computing company.

Sharan, who officially stepped down last April 3, was temporarily replaced by Chief Product Officer James Hom, who served as the company’s first CFO from its founding in 2005.

In other news, SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN) bagged a contract renewal with retail giant Casey’s for the deployment of the former’s voice AI technology across more than 2,600 locations.

“Leveraging SoundHound’s voice AI ordering agents, Casey’s stores can answer incoming calls for pizza even during peak meal times, reducing missed orders and long hold times while ensuring guests can place orders quickly and accurately,” the listed firm said.
