At this time I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Bryan Murray.
Thank you Eric and thank you everyone for joining today's call.
We delivered a great startups to the year setting the pace to achieve the full year targets, we put out at last December and our analyst day.
We reported net revenue just above our guided range as both sides of the business performed well.
And we saw supply constraints ease slightly.
Yeah.
Our operations team navigated around chip constraints, and the continuing elongated transportation times to bring product and from our suppliers, while significantly lowering our free spin for the from the fourth quarter levels.
Yeah.
Net revenue for the first quarter ended March 'twenty, eight 2021 was $317 $9 million.
Up 38, 3% year over year.
Driven primarily by strong CHP growth and the retail channel and.
Better than expected F&B performance.
Our leading Wifi six offerings continued their momentum and the first quarter across both businesses.
Yeah.
Additionally.
And the work we continue to do to focus on the right products and support of the work from home networking market.
Coupled with strong pro AZ growth resulted in continued upward trajectory for our SMB business.
Delivering 17, 9% year over year growth.
And the first quarter, we generated record non-GAAP operating income of $42 $3 million.
This translates into a non-GAAP operating margin well above the top end of our guidance range at 13, 3%.
And an improvement of 970 basis points over the first quarter of 2020.
And 230 basis points over the fourth quarter and 2020.
So.
Relative to relative to our guidance range, we experienced better than expected performance from our SMB business, which carries higher margins.
Additionally, we saw and improved mix of business coming from the higher margin E Commerce channel.
As mentioned previously our operations team was able to lower spend on airfreight meaningfully below planned levels.
All three factors contributed to non-GAAP operating margin coming in well above our initial expectations.
Well, we spent less and air freight than originally expected as.
Much of the improved supply arrive later in the quarter.
And as a result, we can only replenish the channel inventory towards the end of the quarter.
And thus we didn't have an opportunity to increase promotional efforts and recoup even more market share and the modest gains we experienced in the quarter.
We do believe we were and the solid position heading into the second quarter to selectively increase promotional efforts.
Including participation and promotional activities, playing with some key channel partners.
Which should allow further gains and market share.
And assist with our goal of driving increased paid subscribers.
The strength and our business seen across the globe and we delivered solid double digit year over year growth and all geographies.
Led by the demand for our premium mesh products, and our CHP business as well as strength and our SMB business.
For the first quarter of 2021 net revenue for the Americas was $219 $2 million.
Which is up 38 five per cent year over year and.
And down 15, 6% on a sequential basis.
EMEA net revenue was $61 $1 million, which is up 44, 9% year over year and down $9 four per cent quarter over quarter.
Our APAC net revenue was $37.7 million.
Which is up 27, 2% from the prior year comparable quarter and down five 7% sequentially.
For the first quarter of 2021, we shipped a total of approximately $4 1 million units, including 2.7 million that was the wireless products.
Shipments of all wired and wireless routers and gateways combined were about one 4 million units for the first quarter of 2021.
And net revenue split between home and business products was about 76% and 24% respectively.
The net revenue split between wireless and wired products was about 69% and 31% respectively.
Products introduced and the last 15 months constituted about 35 per cent of our first quarter shipments.
While products introduced and the last 12 months contributed about 30 per cent of our first quarter shipments.
From this point on my discussion points will focus on non-GAAP numbers. The reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP is detailed in our earnings release distributed earlier today.
Yeah.
The non-GAAP gross margin and the first quarter of 2021 was 35, 2%, which is up 600 basis points as compared to 29, 2% from the prior year comparable quarter.
And up to 460 basis points compared to 36 per cent and the fourth quarter of 2020.
The year over year improvement was driven by improved product margins led by our premium mesh solutions.
Sequentially lower spend on airfreight higher demand for SMB products and higher mix of revenue going through e-commerce channels, which brings the added benefit of lower costs associated with consumer returns.
And all contributed to improved gross margins.
Yeah.
With improving supply we plan to selectively increased promotional spending to accelerate market share gains.
Which should contribute to further growth and paid subscribers.
In addition to higher promotional activities, we've seen an uptick and the cost of sea transportation by two to three times historical levels.
And as a consequence, we believe the Q1 'twenty one gross margin performance is not likely to repeat in the near term quarters ahead.
Tell me Q1, non-GAAP operating expenses came in at $69 $7 million, which was up 18, 2% year over year and down three 3% sequentially.
Our team continues to navigate a challenging operating environment, while adding proportionately less spend.
As a result, we were able to unlock considerable leverage on a 38 per cent year over year revenue growth.
And as always we manage our expenses prudently while also ensuring we adequately fund the growth portions of our business. So that they have the resources they need to succeed.
Our head count was 775 as it and make the quarter down.
Down from 18, and Q4 as we consolidate some of our offices and the APAC region to gain some cost efficiencies.
This will fund further investment and other areas of the business such as resources supporting our paid subscription business.
We continue to manage our head count, but will add resources to invest and areas that we believe will deliver future growth.
Our non-GAAP R&D expense for the first quarter was seven 1% of net revenue and.
As compared to eight 1% of net revenue and the prior year comparable period and.
And 6% of net revenue and the fourth quarter of 2020.
To continue our technology and subscription service leadership, we are committed to continued investment and R&D.
Our non-GAAP tax rate was $24 five per cent and the first quarter of 2021.
Looking at the bottom line for Q1, we reported non-GAAP net income of 31 $6 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS of 99 cents each substantially higher than the prior year comparable period.
Turning to the balance sheet, we ended the first quarter 'twenty, 'twenty, one with $377 million and cash and short term and investments.
Up $17 $3 million from the prior quarter.
We were also able to strengthen our inventory position incrementally in the quarter, adding $43 6 million dollar store stock levels.
We believe our supply position, we will continue to improve and the second quarter.
During the quarter, we generated $13 $7 million and cash flow from operations.
Which brings our total cash provided from operations over the trailing 12 months to $165 $9 million.
We used $1 $6 million and purchase of property and equipment during the quarter.
Which brings our total cash used for capital expenditures over the trailing 12 months to $10 $6 million.
And we previously highlighted we plan to reestablish normal carrying levels of our own inventory in 2020 one.
As a result, we expect to be below our normal conversion ratio of 85 to 100 per cent of non-GAAP net income by a fair amount and we saw in Q1.
But we remain confident and our ability to continue to generate cash on a full year basis.
Now turning to the first quarter results for our product segments.
The connected home segment, which includes the industry, leading nighthawk worthy and.
Nighthawk Pro gaming and neuro brands Jen.
<unk> generated net revenue of $249 million for the quarter.
Which is up 46, 3% on a year over year basis, and down 18, 6% sequentially.
The strong year over year growth was driven by heightened demand and the retail channel for our premium Wifi six solutions.
And the first quarter, despite supply headwinds for our Wifi six products existing for much of the quarter.
We're able to improve on our strong leadership position and U S market share it and consumer Wi Fi regaining two points to 43 per cent.
And we fully expect we will continue to gain share and the second quarter, given the improved supply position and the channel entering the quarter.
The SMB segment executed well and generated net revenue was $77 million for the first quarter of 2021.
Which was up 17, 9% on a year over year basis, and up eight 5% sequentially.
This is the highest quarterly revenue for our SMB business and the past two years.
The growth was driven primarily by exceptionally strong demand demand for work from home solutions.
Including a low port count switches as well as our F&B wireless solutions.
We were also particularly pleased with the performance of our protein business, which experienced meaningful year over year growth as we see signs of activities resuming business offices.
And sports and entertainment venues.
Our market share and switches sold through the U S. Retail channel came in at 56 per cent and Q1.
I'll now turn on the call over to Patrick for his commentary.
After which I'll provide guidance for the second quarter of 2020 one.
Thank you Bryan.
As we progressed through 2020, one we are seeing the progress of the well slow recovery from the pandemic.
New cases remain high and very honest from other continents are becoming prevalent in many states.
However, unprecedented federal spending plans and the salary that vaccine wrote out and.
State reopening plans and point to a light at the end of the tunnel.
[laughter] businesses small and large I'm planning for growth off of a difficult 2020.
With signs of business offices, and sports and entertainment venues.
Wearing towards reopening, albeit at diodes back capacity.
And it's clear that the pandemic has decelerated multiple years of technological progress into one year and.
And people adjusted surprisingly quickly for more time and activities from home.
However to enable this transition highly reliable high speed Internet connectivity and covers the entire home and.
And even patio or yard has become and necessity.
This is spared the rapid growth of the premium segment and home Wi Fi.
We are headed by Wifi, six mesh with Tri band architecture.
Which netgear pioneered and continues to be the leader.
In the market.
These solutions fueled the work and do everything from home for families that need to cover large houses and supply and reliable internet to every corner of the home.
Given the demands all of these activities put on home Wifi.
We see no slowdown and the demand for on products that help keep people and the devices connected.
This premium Tri band Wi Fi fixed segment.
Represented 30% of the Wi Fi and mass market in the U S and Q1.
Rising from 25% and Q4 and 7% in the prior year comparable period.
Yeah.
This category continues to grow quickly.
And he garners the highest prices used the healthiest margins and has the highest prospect for us.
And our value added services, which we clearly see the benefits are and our Q1 performance.
Yeah.
Thank you and continues to deliver the innovative leading edge products to meet the needs of these most demanding consumers in the market.
Last quarter, we announced the Nighthawk Tri band mesh Wifi system model N K 83.
And we started shipping it in Q1.
This is our first tri band Nighthawk mashed system.
And it retails at $499 for the router and to set by Kip.
The Nighthawk brand has a strong following among those who would like to have more real time control of their Wi Fi fill out and.
Such as Qos settings.
And as I D controls with different bands.
The MTA eighty-three satisfies a long anticipated desire from the loyal Nighthawk base.
We're also quite pleased with the demand and reception.
And if the nighthawk on a exceed 500 Tri band Wi Fi six E router.
Which day, David debuted in Q1 at a price of $599.
With speeds of two gigabit now available from cable operators and the U S.
Wifi six knee products have Wi Fi speeds to match that.
Thus, enabling multiple high quality video Domino's and I, suppose and 8-K game.
Equally important if the performance of the product.
Is the strong attach rate of our subscriptions and services that we are seeing from the outflow of premium customers purchasing this credit.
Last but not least for product introduction on the CHP side.
We launched our second DOCSIS, three point and one Wi Fi six cable gateway.
The entry level and see a X 30.
The power of combining DOCSIS 3.1, and speed with the benefits of Wifi six technology gifts cable subscribing households, and only one option and built to provide multi gigabit internet speeds across a multitude of devices in the home while avoiding the month.
Lee rental fees of cable modems, and Wifi routers from the cable operators.
This category is about 20% of the total U S retail Wi Fi market and one in which we possess substantial market share.
There is only one meaningful competitor to us and.
And this category and they have yet to introduce a Wi Fi six cable product today.
As we enter the second quarter with and improving supply picture and the channel.
We see the opportunity and to build on our Q1 performance and regaining U S market share.
This bodes well for us to continue to make progress and paid subscriber acquisition.
Building from the 481000 paid subscribers that we ended with Inc. Q1.
We are on track to meet our goal of 650000 and subscribers by year end.
And we are excited about the long term profitability impact that will have on our business.
Additionally, we will improve on our service offerings in the second quarter.
With the rollout of our smart proactive controls and service the garnered accolades at CES 30 of this year.
Following that we plan to bring the features of our gaming while to line up.
To the market through our service offering and the second half of this year for.
For those online game loving customers above premium Wifi, six tri band or the systems.
I'm also very happy to share that.
We continue on and made great progress with our SMB business.
Our efforts to a sophisticated home offices with best in class.
Favorable Wi Fi six solutions, and highly functional and low port count <unk> switches.
Continue and meet with strong demand businesses transition to flexible working environments.
Additionally, with businesses better and navigating COVID-19 related challenges.
And reopening and economies beginning to improve our more sophisticated switching business is accelerating.
This includes our pro <unk> switching line, which is also.
Seeing the added benefit on sports and entertainment venues opening and.
And three levels of capacity.
We intend to capitalize on this opportunity and to do so.
Investing in these areas to continue to strengthen our differentiation.
Our recent releases in the AAV line expand our highly successful for.
40 to 50 pro E switch product offerings.
And on tailored to make complex AAV deployments and easy to install and manage.
These switches and deliver higher overall wattage and provide a lease specific presets and user interfaces.
Our seamless be transporting a highest quality digital audio and video signals.
We're excited with what lies ahead given the tail wins across both businesses.
And improving supply outlook driving the opportunity for further market share gains.
And a solid foundation for increasing our subscriber base.
And with that I'll turn it over to Bryan Murray to comment on our opportunities and obstacles in the coming quarter.
Thank you Patrick.
Our net revenue for the second quarter is expected to be and the range of $305 million to $320 million.
GAAP operating margin expected to be and the range of six 5% seven five per cent and non-GAAP operating margin is expected to me and the range of 9% to 10 per cent.
As for channel inventory progresses to healthy levels we.
We do expect Q2 will present, an opportunity to selectively term promotions back on.
Including participation and key sales events with some of our channel partners.
Allowing us to continue to grow market share and to drive paid subscriber acquisition.
Additionally, while airfreight cost will stay at the Q1 level we.
We see transport costs rising to two to three times their normal rates.
Our GAAP tax rate is expected to be approximately 27%.
And our non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be $24 five per cent for the second quarter of 2021.
While we are confident and our ability to provide guidance at this time, we do so with the caveat the considerable uncertainty remains and the market due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
And.
Should unforeseen events occur and particular related to transportation delays and to any of our regional distribution centers or actual results could differ from the foregoing guidance.
We would now like to answer any questions from the audience.
Yeah.
At this time I would like to remind everyone in order to ask a question Press Star then the number one on your telephone keypad will.
We'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster.
Your first question comes from the line of Geoffrey Wren from Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.
Hi, yes, thanks for taking the question when you talk about participating in more promotional activity from the second quarter on what.
Global chip supply still being relatively tight and demand remaining strong can you just discussed and thought process for running more promotional activities.
Yes, we have said that we would like to continue the momentum to regain share and and.
And also we we actually have to be in lock steps with our channel partners. So our channel partners have plans for some promotional activities in a seasonally weaker Q2 and will likely continue to keep the momentum going and we believe that this is the most opportune time for us to regain share.
And the importance of regaining share is of course is to trend.
So I would continue to have a really good and installed base to work with to increase our paid subscribers, which is a very long term benefit for us.
And have found out over the last two years, that's it for most opportune time to recruit. So this subscribers is at the point when they install a new product and that's the reason why driving organization.
Great. Thank you and just as my follow up how are you thinking about the trajectory of your SMB business as the global economy continues to open and will that partially be offset by less people setting up home offices as we approach and returned to the more traditional office.
We don't believe so we actually seeing a three legged stool on the SMB business. We're very encouraged by I think there are a lot of entrepreneurialism, who has left the work force and started to become entrepreneurs to open businesses at home and then also there are the <unk>.
For business owners and professionals, who actually split time between home office and their main office, such as Accountants architects and interior designers and so forth. So the activities of entrepreneurialism and base business buying our what we call sophisticated home office solution is on.
Abated.
Secondly, and as we have seen also.
These small business and who is starting to reopen and get back into the office.
And not being for over year found out well now and do you have just upgraded their home office is Wi Fi six.
Oh, the office, you're stuck with Wi Fi five and we're seeing quite a bit of a great opportunities.
Happening in the actual office. So that's also driving what we call the reopening trade and.
And our wireless named business still continue to grow tremendously.
And then sorry.
<unk> is the pro heavy business.
We are seeing a lot of our sports events are reopening entertainment and reopening and a lot of video productions going on all driving the demand about pro and <unk> businesses as well.
Avs and aging towards more into into Altra high definition productions and things like that and so those three legs juice gives us confidence and our SMB momentum will continue on.
And the upcoming few years.
Great. Thank you.
Sure.
Your next question comes from the line of course on from Gws financial.
Your line is open.
Hi, I just wanted to first ask us.
How do you feel about the current market environment and as far as comparing it to.
Previous cycles as far as seasonality is concerned and how.
How are you going about with inventory that you built up is that being consumed and channel or are you holding it off for particular promotion in Q2.
No I mean, so so the channel inventories quote unquote just in time.
So we shipped to the channel and in anticipation of that.
And weekly run rate of.
The channel.
And we typically want to keep it at the for it looking run rate of anywhere between agents and weak, which we are thinking as you can see in the optimal expenses.
Of course, there are some pockets of products that are still below that level and.
And then when promotions HAMP and we will shift to that maybe two or three weeks before the promotion and starts so moving on preload the channel for a promotional activity to be done much much later on.
Market, you know, we and it's pretty encouraging because for.
For the first three weeks of this quarter and the last two weeks from last quarter, we actually Comping last year's the onset.
The COVID-19 Lockdowns.
And as we have expected the market is staying and an elevated level and of course. It will go back to the usual seasonality that Q2 is slightly lower than Q1, and then Q3 will be a big step up and in Q4 will be flat.
Q3, so we believe that seasonality.
It happened, but and an elevated level.
So which is very encouraging that the reason why we feel confident about this is because we saw that phenomenon and Asia.
Which we.
Really hasnt been hit hard by Covid and certain.
And markets, where we have always me.
Zooming back to office work and and without having any any gathering lockdowns.
So we're pretty encouraged by what we've seen so far.
And Bryan.
Transpired and the business.
Your Q2 guidance is a little different and the qualitative guidance that you provided and <unk>.
And then past comments.
Yeah, I think it's actually Patrick just touched on we've got and the channel into a healthier place.
A bit ahead of schedule.
And it bodes well in terms of our ability to start to regain the market share and the second quarter and start to build the subscriber base.
But as we said early on and the call. We expect the full year targets that we set out back in December we think we're on track for those and and what that means is the back half of the year is probably staring more towards the 10% growth over the first half and as we had said.
Back in December we thought there would be on the lower side, because we thought there'd be more channel fill happening early on but we think it will be about 10% over the first half for the year. Some of that's driven by the service provider business, which again is lumpy. This quarter for Q2, we think it'll be about $30 million. So still below the 35 million on average that we still believe.
We'll hit for the full year.
But also the strength of the F&B business is also contributing to the overall profile for the rest of the year, but again, we think the second half will be up on the first half about 10%.
Okay.
Great. Thank you.
Sure.
Your next question comes from the line of Liz Pate from Cowen and company. Your line is open.
And lose paint your line is open.
Okay.
Your next question comes from the line of Adam Tindle from Raymond James Your line is open.
Alright. Thanks, This is Alex on for Adam and.
And I was just curious about how you're thinking about kind of the margin impacts from a promotional spend how are you thinking about the return on investment for that and then kind of just and aside on margins you mentioned that shipping shipping costs were up about two two times and so just kind of curious about how that kind of flow through to the gross margins and shipping a large component of gross margin.
Yeah, I would say the the Q to steer relative to the Q1 performance I'd say about a third and.
The movement from from the 13, 3% operating margin to the nine to 10 per cent range is going to be driven by the sea cost the transportation cost for sea freight so and it is significant certainly and.
And then the other two thirds I would say is it's tied to the promotional activities and terms.
Yeah.
Or is the return on investment I think Patrick touched on it earlier and it's all about assisting us and and gaining additional paid subscribers which is.
The long term goal that we have on pushing that up and getting to our long term target of 15% operating margin that is key to us getting there.
Okay perfect. Thanks, and then again just on promotional activity.
And which products in particular do you think youre going to kind of lean more heavily into more on the gaming side more on the SMB side home office side, and just kind of the cadence of that.
Different channels would have.
Different focus.
And then most generally speaking it would be on the mid range.
And Wifi six products that will be the focus.
And and we believe that that is the place Simpson multiple purpose.
One is relative to the high ASP.
And secondly relatively high.
And so those new users all of the installation uses to attach to our paid subscriptions and services.
And they generally have a little bit higher margin. So I think those are the areas that we'll focus on.
Perfect. Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Your next question comes from Lou Jin Ho from Bloomberg Your line is open.
Okay. Thank you for taking my question.
Couple of questions Patrick I'm actually looking at.
The gross margin and a different way I mean, theres a lot of things that could potentially pressure gross margin and you've got the higher freight costs, you've got a lower mix of SMB and traditionally a.
When you have these gross margin impacts plus promotional activity.
Yeah.
Your operating margin really sinks because of gross margin logos larger, but that's implied in that and it almost seems as if you're kind of holding the gross margin roughly around the.
For the 28% to 30% level I'm just curious if there are any other factors thats, helping to prop up the gross margin going into your outlook.
And in terms of I think we would just went through kind of a bridge for something.
Gross margin from the peak levels that we saw on Q1 at 35%.
The sea freight cost and the commercial activities will steer it downwards and I would say.
The entirety of the bridge from Q3, sorry, Q1 to Q2 is going to be on the gross margin I don't think obviously with the revenue guide that there's not going to change and operating leverage.
On the business, but the.
That would be.
And driving forces there, but again long term, we're going to try and push that up by adding subscribers and keep growing and premium segments and the market.
Are you seeing any positive impacts from subscription revenue on gross margin.
[laughter].
Yeah, Yeah, and I think if you look at our analyst day deck that we put out in December.
I think if you looked at.
HP that we communicated which was about $48. We said it would probably contribute close to 80 basis points on on this year's margin so and is starting to contribute.
But again, we're trying to grow that as quickly as possible as you saw with us increasing our target from 1 million to $2 million.
And secondly, Patrick.
Called out Europe.
Cable gateway business.
And given some of the recent industry dynamics and I mean.
And how much of AR and opportunity do you see and the cable gateway business going forward given.
Some of the.
I guess for divestitures, that's going on and the industry.
Well I mean, the cable gateway and cable modems.
And then of the retail Wi Fi has always been pretty steady at somewhere around 20% of the total market.
And as you probably know and Theres just only one other major competitor.
And because it's not easy you have to get value by all the cable operators in the U S.
We have a commanding market share and.
So erratically.
Well, if you get 100 per se market share and the segment that means and then we will have a base of 20% market share.
U S life.
And so it's.
And it's pretty lucrative.
Got it and and then and then lastly for me.
You mentioned a fairly briefly about.
Getting a growing sales on your online store on them.
Curious how large is that business and why is the return dynamic different on your online store versus your traditional retailers to help on the gross losses on margin side.
Actually when when when Bryan talk about return is not limited only to our own online stores, but also to our partner on line stores, such as Amazon and such.
And so just new Inc.
And so basically on line.
As you probably know the online stores are very very nimble and reacting to price fluctuations.
Much more than brick and mortar and actually 99% of the returns on no trouble found and the most frequent reason for people to return as they bought this at <unk>.
And then.
And found and you now so we'll be having a promotion is cheaper and so they would return to one day, so and by the one from still will be the enjoyed that that price arbitrage.
Such a situation would be much less on line because the online sales are very nimble they would match any lowest price already in the market today.
Generically speaking on line stores low and return rates.
It doesn't matter whether it is the Amazon is a new angle as it.
<unk> is on net dot com stores, it's the same story.
Great. Thank you.
Sure.
Yes.
Yeah.
Again, if you would like to ask a question Press Star then the number one on your telephone keypad.
Your next question comes from the line of for gel Dogra.
From Cowen.
Your line is open.
Hi, Thank you for taking my question.
To ask you like as you normalize sort of inventory levels and the channel I assume like your revenue is mostly sell it and any color you can provide on that.
The delta between sell in versus sell through revenue for this year that you expect.
For for the rest of this year as we've said, we think we're pretty much there in terms of filling and the channel. So from from here forward there shouldn't be much much delta so.
So they basically are selling for yourself tool would be similar to yourselves and revenue from it.
That's correct.
Okay and idle you've maintained your guidance for this year, but any initial color you can provide on what your growth would look like into calendar 'twenty two.
Yes.
We'll get there eventually.
But at this point, we're focused on executing.
And in navigating this operational environment.
For 2021.
We will get there.
Okay.
And you know as you look to reinvest your incremental growth and too promotional.
Expenses, how should we look at incremental like anything you can provide on how do we model incremental operating margins and your business and what the trajectory on the operating margins would look like as it goes for the year. Thank you.
Yeah, I think and.
And as we see the mix of SMB increase it certainly bodes well for for margins.
But as and a normal year, where we typically see seasonality lift in the back half for the year, that's usually when we get the most operating leverage.
Just given that the top line steer there.
And as I said earlier, we're maintaining that and.
The targets, we set out for the full year, both on the top line and operating margin standpoint, and as what we're starting to for 2021.
Got it thank you.
And to your earlier question I mean, the one bit I would remind you of in terms of 2022 is that we think the market has risen and that's been elevated we think it will maintain at these elevated levels and then from here forward, we kind of get back into the business of increasing the market.
And the low single digits, all driven by ASP expansion and that's that's what we do.
And we keep innovating and keep bringing out products and the premium portion of the market that leaves as asp's.
Yeah.
Got it.
And we share that.
Sure.
