We made good progress on strategic initiatives at the core.
No we are business footprint, our success, we're digesting it would be to be quite vertical.

Objective during the pandemic period.
We feel good about those objectives for driving long term shareholder value.
Yes about delivering on it.
Turning to our outlook.
We expect revenue gross and EBITDA in the near term you continued to be impacted by Corona buyers related disruption and uncertainty.
We expect continued volatility.
Quite budgets and the media.
Particularly in non insurance quite verticals.
Well cashing specifics if these shortly and unprecedented challenge.
It is difficult.
Oh current estimates.
For fiscal Q4.
Revenue, excluding divested businesses.
To be down between five and 10% year over year.
Adjusted EBITDA on capsule margins are expected to be positive.
It into lower single digits.
As we absorbed football effects are corona bars related drops in topline leverage and media efficiency.
We will look to aboard layoffs during this pending.
That would be required to offset those drops.
It seems I'm just.
And bad corporate citizenship.
Do you layout productive employees.
Just to increase already positive profits and cash flow.
Especially given our strong balance sheet.
Not to mention at that.
Those layoffs, but also had the effect.
Slowly progress on important longer term initiatives.
Looking post score of ours.
You're confident.
And it do he asked.
But our strategy.
Generic market bridge.
Focus our efforts on smaller numbers, our biggest best long term business opportunities.
Those opportunities.
Through the heavier mix if you are peak.
It's likely other high margin technology products deeper integrations into our clients and their networks.
We still expect annual revenue of over $400 million and to be format.
Even before plan to aggressively invest and the remaining businesses.
We also expect revenue and EBITDA growth.
Give me more predictable.
And even faster than our Threeq runner up quite a virus footprint.
Which in turn we expect to drive greater shareholder value.
Trailing 12 months revenue.
Well go forward core financial services and show and home services businesses.
It was $414 million through March 31st.
Representing a three year compound annual growth rate.
34%.
With that.
Okay, and the called the Greg.
Thank you Doug.
Hello, Thanks to everyone for joining us today.
To start I hope, everyone, staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.
Total revenue for the third quarter grew 11% year over year to $128.7 million a record quarter for Quinstreet.
Revenue, excluding divested businesses grew 15% year over year.
$126.3 million.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $9.3 million for 70% of revenue.
Adjusted net income will $7 million for 13 cents per share on a fully diluted basis.
We grew our cash balance by $21 billion, the closed the quarter $97.1 billion of cash and equivalents and they'll banker.
Looking at revenue by client vertical.
Financial services quite vertical.
Represented 77% acute care revenue.
Grew 15% year over year.
$99.5 million.
During the quarter.
The most significant impact become accretive virus, we'll see in our credit cards and personal loans businesses.
We're quite marketing spend was down due to concerns about deteriorating economic activity and consumer credit quality.
Auto insurance, our largest business.
Performed best in the pace of the pandemic, where revenue increased 30% year over year.
That's what being strong spending a broad range of large carrier clients.
The quite vertical we historically referred to as other which included home services and B to B.
Represented 11% of Q3 revenue declined 6% year over year to $13.8 million.
Doug discussed, we divested or b to B business in the middle of February.
Moving forward.
We will refer to our other client vertical it simply home services.
Home services revenue.
Quarter grew 8% year over year to $11.5 million.
Year over year revenue girlfriend home services slowed somewhat due to grow the virus.
Consumers limited their exposure outsiders in their homes.
Our education client vertical represented 12% for Q3 revenue grew 4% year over year to $15.4 million.
Moving on to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA $1.3 million for 7% of revenue.
Profitability in the quarter.
I believe impacted by the loss of topline leverage and media buying efficiency, primarily due to pandemic related current budget cuts and media drops in the quarter.
Turning to the balance sheet made a good quarter overall grayer cash builds by $21 million.
Including $11.1 million of proceeds from the sale of our B to B business in Brazil operations.
Closed the quarter $97.1 million no bank debt.
That's all from operations.
$15.2 million.
And normalized free cash flow was $7.4 billion, a 6% of revenue.
Most of our adjusted EBITDA drops the normalized free cash flow due to the low capital requirements of our business model.
Looking ahead to our fiscal Q4 forecasting any level of certainty during the scan data, it's challenging to say the least.
Our current estimate is for Q4 revenue, excluding divested businesses could be down between five and 10% year over year.
Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow margins are expected to be positive.
In the low single digits.
Absorbed full quarter effects of Corona buyers related drops in topline leverage in media efficiency.
For your modeling purposes.
Q4, 2019 at revenue excluding divested businesses.
$116.1 million.
In summary.
Despite the impact to grow the virus during the quarter, you're pleased with our financial performance and remain optimistic about the underlying strength of our business over the long term.
Quinstreet has a highly resilient business model, we've proven our ability to perform well over the past 20 years.
During economic downturns.
There are three key points that could help investors better understand our business model.
First.
We have a highly variable likes financial model, which has allowed us to be adjusted EBITDA and cash flow positive during difficult times.
The largest costs at our piano media, which fluctuates with revenue.
So when revenue goes down our largest cost also declines.
Second.
There are difficult economic times.
Jamerson's tend to shop for lower their monthly expenses.
That's true performance marketplaces embedded across the world's largest shopping channel the internet.
<unk> consumer save money.
And finally.
We had a great balance sheet with nearly $100 million a cash.
I think that.
And expect continued to generate positive cash flows from our business moving forward.
With that I'll turn the call over to the operator for questions.
Thank you, Sir ladies and gentlemen, if he would like asked a question on the phone. She may do so by pressing star one on your telephone keypad star one for questions. Please make sure that mute function on your phone is turned off so the signal can be red bar equipment.
Star one for questions, we'll pause a moment to assemble the queue.
Well take our first question from Carter Trent with Stephens. Please go ahead.
Yes. He says my question.
I'm, just wondering what kind of see density.
The carriers, who are using the cure p. platform.
And also what do you could you just to the reason why when growth.
They called it a couple of course clutch side, but the second half I didn't get clear this on that last year that again.
Actually very positive in fact unanimously positive or.
The performance of the platform and about how it's helping your operations, we just had a client.
I got sent attached from a client.
Just two days ago.
Most recently launch Clay said, Oh, we don't need any more testing we're rolling this out across the floor. This thing is just show because it can be so we're a you know we're super pleased with the performance of the platform in the P. Feedback again has been unanimously positive.
In some cases like interest.
Covered.
Growing they show so very good publishing PRP in terms of the I think you said do what Richard Griffith platform, we need to cure peak platform yeah. The popular yeah.
Yeah the.
We have they just they extraordinarily strong pipeline.
That is being worked by industry veterans with great connections.
The feedback from the private clients and probably that bridge that we get a year or two ago were very positive in folks knew about that.
Our some of our carrier partners are working to pipeline for us. A this is something I could you talk about an individual sessions I'm not sure I've ever talked about on the calls but.
Hi, This is not just the Quinstreet initiative the largest carriers.
And the independent agent channel.
Our very aggressively backing this platform.
And in many cases in fact, I think the majority of or launched and that's part of my clients.
There's lots of assigning stage.
Well the false.
From a big agency partners.
I'm sorry, the carrier partners, so I think that.
Combination, but it's a great product proven great feedback from initial part clients and then you have carriers pushing it alongside us with it a team that's how did the industry as well connected any industry I think all there seem to work in her favorite there are very very strong venture back it so.
It is there again it delivers.
You know.
We have had reports.
A bit delivering.
Upwards of 40% improvement or productivity.
For the agents I'm sure that is a.
You know that's pretty staggering in terms of the the benefits you can see if it's not surprising right. This was a unified platform you entered the data once you get multiple competing quotes.
Quotes because we have the most.
Great <unk> end to end with the big carriers are much more active than in previous calls you don't get lottery quoting misquoting you have to enter the data can to report card you want to get to keep whole quotient give people carriers, yes, it's about it's it up or benefit of copper Dennis I guess, it just a very very fundamental improvement of the channel and the core carrier partners.
Not only do they get more productivity out of the channel, which is important because this is the big challenge for them.
Well, they get much better workflow management work flow control, which remains reduce cost for the quality and vastly improved reporting.
From every angle.
They want show itself.
Great product at the right timing and a good channel.
Everybody benefits launch smothered business opportunities you get excited about as a business person that's something that.
I work so well.
There were so much value.
I would say that.
Yeah, that's a that's the queue up too.
Yeah sure that's helpful. Thanks, Doug.
Thank you called.
Well take our next question from Jason Kreyer with Craig Hallum. Please go ahead.
Good afternoon gentleman.
Oh jeez, if I if I ask a question that's already been addressed all I was waiting to get into the queue for a bit here, but I'm. Just wondering if you can walk through you know the the last several weeks a financial performance on a channel basis. I mean, I think you called out that auto insurance has remained pretty.
Pretty strong through this market. So just wondering what component to the business are seeing that most impact from you know the economic slowdown or call that.
You bet.
To start with auto insurance auto insurance remained strong throughout the quarter actually gained scheme in March which so I think Greg the strongest month for the quarter <unk>, Yeah, that's right equally.
That's right we accelerated throughout the quarter in our auto insurance business, which resulted in March we had a record month for the history of the company and auto insurers.
It's a lot of shots remain strong it's a combination of the number of factors all first of all grab them. All the carriers are doing pretty well because introduce driving reduced incident rates are they have a lot of money.
They want to they they'd like to put that money back into them to marketing and share gains are they expect us to be a period of heavy shopping.
On both because consumers are.
At home and on a line war and because a lot of consumers are going to be financially challenged and one of things from Greg alluded to this that consumers given their financial challenges they shop that line items.
Most of the odd items, including insurance and see if it can save money on almost every case because of the complexity of insurance market and the changing dynamics in that market. If you shop, you're probably going to save money.
And it's not unusual at all and you see it reports from our carrier partners go back when we were running wrong shopping service direct to consumer shopping short list insurance Dotcom, we had.
We were sitting on average for consumers and Shopkins and switched $4400 a year and say that's meaningful to the average consumer.
So it's insurance and and Bob Let me not let me not to mention let me make sure I didn't mention or other I'd be remiss to did not mention the team has got a great set of initiatives that are very fundamental I'm very long term oriented they were making great progress somebody's initiatives.
And those are those are continuing and adding a lot to that momentum so all those regions or.
Sure Auto insurance, which of course is our biggest business and now well over 50% I think revenue.
Are you still around 50% of revenue at least.
It will be well definitely finished divestitures is doing very well that's the business is that that fared worst give dependent.
A war credit cards and personal loans.
They were both down.
Considerably in the quarter and started deteriorating in in probably late January.
So.
Slope increased down in February and continued down in March and seem to kinda plateau.
Equilibrium near the end of the lock in certainly in April.
And show that those businesses are deteriorated a.
Because the banks and the lenders.
While having a hard time, keeping up with the rapid changes and macroeconomic environment.
The answer Chiller credit as a result of that deterioration.
The underwriting standards, if you know.
A few weeks ago, 30% of them wanting toward another 20% ratable so.
So you you've seen a natural pulling back to the natural constraining <unk> of standards filters and raising of standards I should check and so those businesses were most impacted.
They've been.
And knock on wood, because again it will depend on it continues I went as I indicated it's pretty much stabilized late March and April and we're seeing a more stability.
Along this hopeful sustainable bottom and plateau.
Going into Bay.
Obviously, we haven't been through a pandemic before so we don't know, but typically what happens is a induce instances as the clients pull backs.
Until they get more clarity indoor just their portfolios and underwriting models and then they start easing back yet we have not seen much using backend yet.
But we haven't seen we haven't seen second laid down.
Either so where they've been at the corner supporters are set for all lumped. It you know.
So based businesses were down.
Considerably.
Not quite as much as I reported and some other places Ross.
As others, but they were down considerably.
And then a they there's just been between its home services and we're at about 10 to 12 services or some political just want to home services.
The services that required folks to come into your home.
Oh down pretty hard and home services.
Copper bleach, so I would say.
Shoot the credit cards and personal loans a jobs.
And of course, that's for different reasons in this case, it's mainly because consumers and the art aren't looking because so sosh nationwide.
Shopping play shopping at home.
Their services related more to the exterior the home.
You have a lot of those or to home security or health related.
Products.
Yeah that go into home are doing very well and so it gets a little bit of attuned to cities and home services so that business.
It's down maybe a third as lunch.
As a personal loans and credit cards as we as we were able to much more quickly.
Shake our efforts to that takes a little more of the tailwind unless you go ahead.
So they carry you know if you look at a niche businesses that that are most that's kind of what we're seeing our way I should mention or banking business, which is a name expanding rapidly growing piece of business.
Well and saw pretty good activity from.
Source of funds marketing and from investment management marketing.
So we're shifting.
One of the banking a lot of her efforts.
Team that same Cambridge credit cards and banking.
Senior level, you're shifting later, which over the banking, while we wait out some of the credit card.
Sure no problems. So that's a that's kind of the mix.
Oh I appreciate all the color you gave there I wanted to focus on one of those components you talked about in personal old I know when you made the add one acquisition a year or so ago. One of the components of that was that turned down service. The I think it was like a credit repair credit monitoring service has that.
Held in there a little bit helping to offset a little go to the challenger mirrored that but not really had a meaningful boat either.
It has a it had an initial a drop.
And in shutdown chewed because once people go to these credit a repair and no debt forgiveness processing.
Some obligations.
And there was fear the walking.
Walking consumers in a new obligations and such rapidly changing environment was dangerous and so we saw that an initial.
Hit their initial.
Pretty dramatic drop it activity and quite demand and we've seen that come back much more aggressively.
Then the then actually.
And then and 40% or more of our historic personal lines business is in that category. So yeah, we're somewhat diversified and not in that business. Because we are we do have they represent their services for consumers and unfortunately.
We're probably going to go through a period, where a lot more consumers need those services.
Okay, Great and then two quick ones on Q RP, just one if it gets current environment with having everybody work from home is that creating any delays to roll out said baby any particular carriers are agents and then number two just wonder if you could address the opportunity.
<unk> for captivate agents as it relates to Q RP.
You bet.
I'd say.
Yes, the team work in that pipeline for therapy, they would say not meaning no meaningful effects.
ER and they're not and they would say and I'm proud of them sensors, and what I can use as an excuse stuff.
But we must see create some of the agencies launch timelines moved a little bit less.
Largely because they're working from home and you know their engineering staff is working from home, it's just a little bit harder to get stuff done.
I would say that.
Those delays while measurable.
Don't change our our outlook for that business growth. We still are very bullish on that business expect that to be very big again, you know and to be coming out it's really hard over the last a year or two.
So ah so that's the answer.
That's doing as you heard very healthy progress and very healthy pipe pipeline and we're super excited about the our clients that we have launched.
And watching their ramp so that we can you know each quarter will report to you what we know.
And are we now have revenue.
It's not a lot of revenue yet because it is the agency clients are moving launched.
And doing their own testing and making sure that bid, but each train because it gets required training she used to do platform.
Well I bet you heard bunk one one of the CPI said, hey won't be any more training will test and we're going we're going with the goal for this language, there's things working fine for US, we're hoping to see a lot more than if we do then you know we report to you next quarter, we would like to begin to report once it becomes a meaningful I don't I'm, just not just the opportunity, but the actual revenue and then.
We will begin to data model labs, we ought to give you a better sense for timing, but.
Yeah, I think B B RAF with this business, it's likely to be amongst the quarters not years.
If so it's hard to not use a platform that they've ever just much value.
And so simple then a great. It's a SaaS product of course, you sound like you have to do a lot of integration generally.
And the productivity increase that you're going to senior business for a price point, that's really competitive historic much less capable systems.
At this point is Ah, it's super compelling. So will you know we're very focused on it we're very pleased with the progress.
Got a lot of support from a client base on the agency side, we're getting a lot of support.
Based on the carrier side and so that's why we want to keep telling you what we know when it gives me a much like we did last quarter. We gave you some pipeline stats.
We felt like it is important extend to give you the python stats and hopefully we'll be able to start adding revenue and they're pretty Stan I mean, not too distant future.
On the Okay art.
A captive agents.
They say that little <unk>.
Last but not zero.
Opportunity on the captive agents side.
Secure Pete.
So they they don't you know they are captive agents, so they're representing.
One carriers product the biggest exam, that's examples being of course.
Great networks are state farm.
I'll state.
Armours and happy then were true.
Some of the best known biggest brands the captive agent that much so they have their own systems for their own product.
That being said.
I don't think it's crazy to expect but there may be some adoption of this product.
To allow those agents to broaden their product line.
I'm, not saying that there's 100%.
We have chance that they'll do that but.
I would also said, there's definitely a 100% chance it won't happen and we are having productive discussions with a lot of carriers.
About using Q RP and those carriers are willing to run the full range of.
Uh huh.
After the independent director.
Alright, thanks for the color appreciate it.
Thank you James.
Well take our next question from Jim Goss with Barrington Research.
Hi, Thanks.
Got a couple also won the talked a good though the having SAS type margin levels for cure creep.
Could you.
I felt a little or what type of margin profile, you expect to either earlier or I'm sure.
Sure and the different stripping this product and although it's highly complementary of course store historic core business, it and it's spread out of our historic core business and serves the same channels with clients.
That is that there's no media cost.
And that's you know Jim historically media.
Yeah It runs approximately.
Or over the past several years media costs run about 70% of revenue.
And so.
We believe that be we expect b.
Gross margins.
On a cure piece to be you know.
90%, plus we have an engineering team.
And we have some folks look in share sparkling account management.
Most of those folks some of those folks not many more do they will be applied to gross margin.
Which means that when you expect a contribution margin. So after you know after all direct expenses should be somewhere in the 70% to 80% range.
And we expect to be it the.
Oh, you know at that level.
As soon as we get too you know kind of somewhere Andy.
I don't know Greg the is it mid single digit millions of dollars your revenue.
We hit that 70% and start ramping from there.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah. So this is a and as it scales. It's a you know it's just very little incremental costs tools for for new client churn, which is a classic SAS like business. It's a it's a software package that you log into into our cloud and then you have quiet and use it in years and.
And your operations and we charge you on the usage basis constant commensurate with historic products systems that these agencies you're used to use you will not change them that pricing model.
We're just getting a better product and.
Watching competitively with the with legacy products. So you get great adoption and hopefully a continued good performance.
Okay.
And there's the current on the you made about.
400 million plus or the revenue base.
Is that.
Current revenue base adjusted for just a couple or.
Areas, you've divested, Brazil and be degree or is it after years of just or.
To perhaps some other areas whether its.
That occurred in personal alone that few that's out there was more of them temporary or some other issue might choose to divest.
You get to the.
Businesses, we loved to run on a continuing basis.
Yeah, the revenue excluding divested businesses numbers that we talk about in the press release and that I, Greg talked about.
Only exclude.
Oh B to B.
Brazil.
And Greg mortgage.
No just need to be in Brazil.
The speed to be in Brazil.
And so.
But that's the best to compare.
I would say that you should not assume that we are necessarily done.
With our review of divestiture opportunities or.
Well.
Oh programs.
We're also so you can't you shouldn't necessarily assume that we aren't done we are continuing to evaluate.
Aggressively.
Options and some other areas.
To decide what we think it's the right thing to do and whether or not some of those businesses can't compete.
Oh for.
Positioning in our core.
Where we you know with requirements really being.
You know the ability to big scale opportunities with the ability to more predictably and aggressively grow revenue and expand margin and defend.
And take out some of the unpredictable when volatility that we've seen.
So I certainly think it'd be did not meet those requirements question just never.
Found a way to make that into our model, Brazil did not just coming way too slow too difficult to break into the market.
Without our model given what was going on down there and incumbents, where we're very different market public market model, which was not as good for the clients, but still dominated and too difficult to get through the noise.
And I'd say that well we have a couple of other areas, we're looking at it but.
We're assessing.
Sure as divestitures or places, where if they if we keep them.
Until they prove they can compete.
For the been footprint.
At a minimum they will be a their investments who will be a cut pretty dramatically.
So were you know we're going to.
We're going to get down to this footprint, one way or the other and.
But in terms of the numbers as Greg said the numbers exclude.
Just a that we use in the press release, including a growth numbers I guess.
And in my script, just actually would be to be answers.
So more to because they don't come there.
So just one last one.
Have you I know you said the you Goldman Sachs slip crisis is put on hold a little bit.
For because of the current affairs issue.
Do you have really a timeframe over which would like to get down underwrote the core businesses.
Sure so that you than ever.
Timeframe and this.
Bremner base to grow from because after another year or two or is it to sort of a rolling type process.
Much sooner if any are too.
Honestly, we would Ah we would like to.
Make decisions and and execute.
Options.
As soon as possible.
They were behaving accordion.
I could tell you that internally.
Oh, ideally, we'd like to have it done.
On a by the beginning of the next fiscal year.
Whether or not we can get that fast.
Remains to be seeing at a minimum I'd like to know exactly what we're going to do.
With each of these businesses by beginning in the next fiscal year show and as you know two months away.
Okay.
Thanks, very much Krishna.
Thanks, Jim.
Ladies and gentlemen, if he would like to ask a question you may do so by pressing star one on your telephone keypad.
Oh, one for questions or comments please.
Well take our next question from Adam Klauber with William Blair. Please go ahead.
Hi, Thanks, good afternoon.
How her could there yet repair business done since covert threatened and is that something I would think are tougher economy could potentially pickup also.
Well it initially did not do well because again.
They too are trying to make sure they adjusted their models for rapidly changing consumer credit environment.
And then we then we saw begin to pick up and has recovered a much more quickly than the lending side.
And we agree that that that say a.
A business that unfortunate is probably going to get bigger in the next.
Lunch quarters in years without too many years.
The as we continue to wrestle with dish.
With unemployment the bad economic environment, and it's Adam I think as you know historically, that's been somewhat in the neighborhood of 40% to 50% of all of our business on a personal loans.
Great and then as far as your your fourth quarter forecast.
Our insurance again was very strong a pretty said due to record March did you conservatively say that that business just considerably may not really much in your core crafts fourth quarter and so on the third quarter.
Our current forecast says that business going pretty close to the same rate data group.
In the third quarter.
Okay, Okay, and then as far as the education business that started who said this already Howard Gardner them more traditional non for profit schools are they still gawkers spending money.
They are except on the campus spaces.
We saw an education <unk>.
According to buyers dynamic standpoint.
It's a dramatic drop.
Very quickly in campus based marketing budgets, they get the well imagine because they don't they didn't know if there had been a half people on campus in the fall, Chile, one market for them.
And that's pretty meaningful meaningful for us I think it was quite 50% of our business and education. It used to be page, but it was it's it's quite meaningful and I got I don't have another probably going to probably guess last night would be going into current directors, probably in a 30% plus range.
And it went away almost completely.
And so we had to pivot very hard and education over to online and so what we are saying, there's a lot of Brooklyn online programs run on demand, including.
For the lots of pocket schools.
And pretty aggressive shift over from those folks in terms of their interest in budgets.
And so that that team you know growing four or 5% year over year in last quarter.
That's pretty a herculean task on their part because they had been moved hard and fast to get that dawn, so still Boeing it's still a big opportunity.
Still jury's still out in terms of whether or not.
That's going to be able to compete for placing the core we're evaluating that Oh, we're excited about the to the team that's working on it now, but we're also evaluating whether or not that's a business is going to compete with the corn that so what can the outcomes in could keep it keep investing in it as we continue to demonstrate that.
We can grow in the not for profit World and then we can grow and other non degree programs like coating camp since you're typically kilograms, and and those kinds of areas that would be the case for keeping it and and <unk> in growing it and investing in it there's a case for.
Keeping it but not investing until they demonstrate those things if we take that that could still happen in sometime to public wind and their take it case for divesting that business.
That that were both will be a evaluating as wash, we're going through that pool assessment.
And we will will make a decision.
And you know and again as I told him in coming months not coming quarters for years.
Thanks, and then the last question on your P. are you expecting much revenue to start hitting next quarter or the actual revenue.
You are expecting still could be maybe two three quarters out.
We have rather than now it's just not very much yet so it's a we had more of your had revenue last quarter on but again you can imagine its its we had a few launched agency clients with a few of their agency casting and training. So it was pretty de Minimis and so we will have revenue this quarter, how much we just can't tell.
Yeah, again, and then I know you've got sick and tired. Let me say this will you just never done it before.
So I would say I would say that I don't it's yeah. That's two hubs you know seven figure plus revenue.
In Q RP.
In all likelihood until next fiscal year, which of course, you choose just two months away.
And just a hard hard for me to see are.
Getting the fiber so agencies are that lie.
You know to testing in training and rolled out across the floor fast enough.
Sure to get tended to get any could get do any better than that but I would say that it's hard to all it's just it's hard to imagine.
But we won't have.
At least seven figures and and it looks more like eight figures revenue.
And you are P. next fiscal year.
Given the strike rate pipeline to launch clients and all those things that's kind of how we're looking at.
Okay, great. Thank you very much faster.
