Lightspeed Commerce delivered robust third-quarter financial results, surpassing revenue expectations and demonstrating strong growth across key operational metrics. The company achieved a significant turnaround in operating and adjusted free cash flow, moving from negative to positive, which is a critical indicator of improved financial health and operational efficiency.
