Brian Wendling: During Q3, F1 recognized a lower proportion of season-based income, with 7 out of 24 races, or 29%, occurring during the period, compared to 8 out of 22, or 36% in the prior year period. Sponsorship revenue declined due to this lower pro rata revenue recognition. The recognition of sponsorship income varies based on the mix of races during the quarter, including the allocation of title sponsorship and other race-specific sponsorship packages. To a lesser extent, this also contributed to the sponsorship revenue decline for Q3. This was partially offset by revenue from new partners compared to the prior year period.

Brian Wendling: Race promotion revenue increased in Q3, despite one less race being held due to the mix of events year over year, with Azerbaijan this year compared to Austin, Austria, pardon me, and Japan last year. Other revenue increased due to the higher licensing revenue, and revenue from third-party events at the Grand Prix Plaza. Hospitality and experiences income decreased due to the mix of events in Q3, though note that the Paddock Club is seeing very strong growth year to date. Adjusted OIBDA grew in the quarter due to the lower pro rata recognition of team payments, partially offset by the expectation of increased team payments for the full year over 2023. Team payments represented 62.2% of pre-team adjusted OIBDA year to date through Q3, compared to 64.6% in the prior year.

We continue to expect slight leverage on team payments for the full year 2024 relative to our year-to-date payout as a percent of pre-team share OIBDA. It's consistent with the message we communicated on our Q2 call. Other costs of F1 revenue and SG&A should be viewed as a percent of total revenue.

And then a second one for Brian, just on the team payment accrual in the quarter or even year to date, the figures do imply a lower full year figure relative to what you had given at Q1 or Q2. So just wanna see if there's anything specific to call out interquarter that shifted as far as, your assumptions on, on pre-team profit, for the year. Thank you.

David Karnovsky: Hey, thanks for the question. First for Greg or Stefano, just on Concord, any potential updates you can provide there on progress, tone of talks, or, or expected timing?

Speaker Change: Hey, Thanks for the question first for Greg or Stefano just on Concorde any potential updates you can provide there on progress toner talks or or expected timing and then a second one for Brian just on the team payment accrual in the quarter or even year to date.

Speaker Change: Curious do imply a lower full year figure relative to what you would given at Q1 or Q2 I just wanted to see if there's anything specific to call out intra quarter that shifted as far as your assumptions on pre teen profit for the year. Thank you.

Greg Maffei: Stefano, I'll let you take a first cut at the Concorde.

Speaker Change: Definitely I'll, let you take a first cut at the Concord.

Stefano Domenicali: Yeah. Thank you, Greg. Thanks, David. I mean, as we said, first of all, first of all, it's very important to remember that we have still plenty of time under the existing Concorde Agreement, so there is no urgent rush. You know, conversations are progressing very well, and as we said before, very, very positive, because at this moment, you know, it's the ecosystem is very solid, and also all the teams and all the levels of the Concorde have had huge benefit from, from everyone in, in this moment. So the financial security for the future and stability that we have today, you know, it's, it's underlining in what we are preparing, and as soon as we have everything ready, of course, we will inform everyone. But as always, as I said, we want to do the right thing, and.

Speaker Change: Yes, Thank you Greg and thanks, David I mean, as we said first of all is first of all it's very important to remember that we have still plenty of time on the busiest and goldcorp now. So there is not urgent rush no conversation that are progressing very well and as we said before very very positive because at this moment you know it's the ecosystem is very solid and also all the.

Speaker Change: And those developments to cool the had the huge benefit from from everyone. In this moment, so the financial security for the future and stability that we have today, even though it's it's underlining in the wells, we are preparing and as soon as we have everything ready of course, we will inform everyone, but as always as I said, we want to do that I think in the.

Stefano Domenicali: ... Consider there's no rush. Everything is progressing well, as we said, and looking forward to confirm to you when we're gonna announce something, concrete.

Speaker Change: Consider theres no rush everything is progressing well as we said and looking forward to confirm to you when we got to know something.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

Greg Maffei: So I would just add that, to Stefano's point, the most important thing for everybody, including ourselves and the teams, is to get it right. And so we're progressing at a good pace with the expectation that everyone will sign with glee on their face.

Speaker Change: So I would just add that to Stefanos point, the most important thing for everybody, including ourselves and the team just to get it right and so we're progressing at a good pace with the expectation that everyone will sign with Glee on their face.

Brian Wendling: Yeah, and David, on the team payments, as you rightly point out, they've come down just a little bit on a per race basis. I think that represents some conservatism towards Vegas, because really, that's the last remaining uncontracted revenue stream that we have for the year. And, you know, it largely reflects typical year two trends that promoters see. So that would be the primary reason.

Speaker Change: Yeah, and David on the on the team payments as you rightly point out point out they've come down just a little bit on a per race basis, I think that that represents.

Speaker Change: Some conservatism towards Vegas, because really that's the last remaining contracted revenue stream that we have for the year.

Speaker Change: And it largely reflects typical year two trends that promoter seat so that that would be the primary reason.

Kutgun Maral: Thank you.

David Karnovsky: Thank you.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Kutgun Mural with Evercore ISI. Please proceed with your question.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Kutgun Maral with Evercore ISI. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Kirk and morale with Evercore ISI. Please proceed with your question.

Kutgun Maral: Good morning, and thanks for taking the question. Just on Formula One sponsorship, clearly, there's a lot of momentum there. You've announced a number of new and expanded agreements. Seems like 2025 is gonna be a banner year. And Greg, I think you commented that you feel good about the pipeline for commercial activity in 2026 as well. Can you help us just think about how meaningful the sponsorship or revenue growth outlook can be in the coming years? Thank you.

Speaker Change: Good morning, and thanks for taking the question I'm sort of Formula one sponsorship quick clearly theres a lot of momentum there you've announced a number of new and expanded agreements. It seems like 2025 is going to be a banner year and Greg I think you commented that you feel good about the pipeline for commercial activity in 2026 as well can you help us just think about how meaningful.

Speaker Change: The sponsorship revenue growth outlook can be in the coming years. Thank you.

Greg Maffei: I'll take a first cut, if it's okay, Stefano. Look, I-

Speaker Change: I'll take a first cut if it's okay Stefano.

Stefano Domenicali: Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker Change: Okay, Yeah, absolutely you've seen the announcements here, they're mostly twenty-five related it's unusual one would not expect to be making announcements yet about 26 related deals, but we have a lot of activity going on.

Greg Maffei: You've seen the announcements here that are mostly 2025 related. It's unusual. One would not expect to be making announcements yet about 2026 related deals, but we have a lot of activity going on around potential sponsorship, around licensing and other activities. So it's, it's very hard, you know, you're still quite a ways out from those, but I feel good about the progress. I don't know if you'd add anything, Stefano.

Speaker Change: Around potential sponsorship around licensing and other activities. So it's very hard.

Speaker Change: Still quite a ways out from those but I feel good about the progress I don't know if you'd add anything Stephanie.

Stefano Domenicali: No, I would say for sure, and as always, we need to remember where we were just a couple of years ago in terms of quantity and also quality of our partnership. Now, we have grown significantly in terms of quantity, and of course, now the time is really to check in terms of restructuring the deals, in terms of global, regional, official partner, due to the fact that we have a strong interest in our market so far. So there are for sure, others that we will exploit in the future, but the only thing that I can confirm, as Greg has mentioned, is really, you know, we are really bringing in the interest that we are having from partners that are high, high, high value in the market.

Speaker Change: No I would say for sure and as always we need to remember where we had just a couple of years ago until one P. And also poised to have a partnership now we have grown significantly in terms of quantity and of course now the timing is really to check in terms of restructuring the deal in terms of global the regional official partner.

Speaker Change: Due to the fact that we have a strong interest in our mind, so far so they're not sure either that we will exploit in the future.

Speaker Change: The only thing that I can confirm I spoke with mentioned these really you know we are really bringing him that the interest that we are having from partners that they have a high high high value in the market and that would be another leverage to go through our b to b business growth. It seems that eventually we can create with other partners, we can create even more.

Stefano Domenicali: That would be another leverage, because through a B2B business growth within the relationship we can create with all the partners, we can create even more interest in our platform. As I said, you know, look back and see where we were and look where we are, and I think that the future is always, it will be very positive again.

Speaker Change: So as I said, you know look back and see what we were and look where we are and I think that the future is always it will be very positive again.

Greg Maffei: Yeah, and one thing I would add, almost more towards David's question, that the sponsorship that we've announced for 2025, you've also seen, you know, that's all, that's all moving into 25. So any expectations that we had for those new agreements for 24 also had that impact on team payments.

Speaker Change: Yeah, and one thing I would add that.

Speaker Change: Almost more towards David's question that the sponsorship that we've announced for 2025, you've also seen.

Speaker Change: That's all that's all moving into 'twenty five so any expectations that we had for those new agreements for 24 also had that impact on team payments.

Kutgun Maral: Perfect. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Perfect. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Steven Lashek with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Stephen Laszczyk with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Stephen <unk> with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.

Stephen Laszczyk: Hey, great. Thanks for taking the questions. Two on Formula One. Maybe first, for Greg on media rights. Just curious for your latest thoughts on the sports media rights landscape heading into the US renewal next year, and maybe how you're approaching your negotiations with ESPN. And then second, on Vegas. Brian, you mentioned, the Las Vegas Grand Prix being the last uncontracted piece of the puzzle here. Just curious, if there's anything more you can say on demand for Vegas heading into the final few weeks and any expectations around revenue and profitability for the event this year. Thank you.

Speaker Change: Hey, great. Thanks for taking the questions two on Formula One maybe first for Greg on media rights just curious for your latest thoughts on the sports media rights landscape heading into the U S renewal next year and maybe how you're approaching your negotiations with ESPN.

Speaker Change: And then second on Vegas, Brian You mentioned the.

Speaker Change: Las Vegas Grand Prix being the last on contracted piece of the puzzle here just curious.

Speaker Change: If there's anything more you can say on demand for Vegas heading into the final few weeks and any expectations around the revenue and profitability for the event. This year. Thank you.

Greg Maffei: Steven, thanks for the question. I'll start on the media side. As I think is well known, we have a partnership with ESPN that runs to the end of 2025. It would be not atypical that there is some negotiating period with them. I'm obviously not going to disclose the specifics. ESPN's been a great partner. We will look to see what we can do with them, but there's also a lot of other interest from partners, and we'll try and construct the deal that manages to bring both the best economic opportunity for F1, but even more importantly, perhaps, expose our fans to the best experience in a logical way across as much breadth as possible. So, as always, we're gonna play between economics and reach, and hopefully, come up with the best result for our F1 fans and ourselves.

Speaker Change: Stephen Thanks for the question I'll start on the media side.

Speaker Change: As I think as well no we have it.

Speaker Change: Ship with ESPN that runs to the end of 'twenty five.

Speaker Change: Not atypical that theres, some negotiating period with them.

Speaker Change: You're not going to disclose the specifics.

Speaker Change: It's been a great partner.

Speaker Change: We will look to see what we can do with them, but there's also a lot of other interest from our bank partners and we will try and construct.

Speaker Change: The deal that manages to bring both the best economic opportunity for F. One, but even more importantly, perhaps expose our fans the best experience in a logical way across as much breath as possible. So as always we're gonna play between.

Speaker Change: Economics and reach.

Speaker Change: And hopefully come up with the best result for our F. One fans and ourselves.

Greg Maffei: I'll let Renee talk a little bit about Las Vegas.

Speaker Change: I'll, let Renee talk a little bit about Las Vegas. Thanks, Greg.

Renee Wilm: Thanks, Greg. So maybe we can just take a step back, focus on what we've been working on here in year two. Obviously, year one, we were very much focused on the quality of the fan experience. Year two has been a lot of focus around cost structure and optimizing our product ladder. We do expect that to continue going into years three and beyond. We made a number of improvements coming into this year, which have allowed us to continue to be dynamic in adjusting products and pricing based on real-time feedback we're receiving from the market. We would note the all-in cost of a Vegas race weekend has come into line with the other US races, and we would refer you to the commentary from our hotel partners, Wynn and Caesars, regarding the continued strength of F1.

Renee: Maybe we can take a step back and focus on what we've been working on here in your to obviously your one do we are very much focused on the quality of the fan experience.

Speaker Change: <unk> two has been a lot of focus around cost structure and optimizing our product ladder, we didn't expect that to continue going into years three and beyond.

Speaker Change: We made a number of improvements coming into this year, which have allowed us to continue to be dynamic and adjusting products and pricing based on real time feedback, we're receiving from the market.

Speaker Change: We would know what the all in cost of a Vegas race weekend has come into line with the other U S races, and we would refer you to the commentary from our hotel partners when in Caesars regarding the continued strength of F. One.

Renee Wilm: In terms of recent activity, as expected, we are seeing an uptick in traffic and conversion rates around ticket sales, and we expect that to continue as we get closer to the race weekend. We are, of course, benefiting from the very competitive championship this year, and we have seen success with our recent promotions, including the Lewis Hamilton package and some special offerings that we've run in partnership with our sponsors, Timo and Amex.

Speaker Change: In terms of recent activity as expected we are seeing an uptick in traffic and conversion rates around tickets out and we expect that to continue as we get closer to the race weekend. We are of course benefiting from the very competitive championship. This year and we have seen success with our recent promotions, including the Lewis Hamilton pad.

Speaker Change: And some special offerings that we've run in partnership with our sponsors T Mo and Amex.

Brian Wendling: ... We still have room to grow on ticket sales, but we are very excited to see year two come together over the next couple of weeks. Of course, we remain very positive on the benefits that Vegas is providing to the broader e- ecosystem of Formula One, including the LVMH deal, American Express, and getting back to the media rights renewal. We're looking to see the benefit of Vegas next year as well, when Greg starts those discussions.

Renee Wilm: ... We still have room to grow on ticket sales, but we are very excited to see year two come together over the next couple of weeks.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ben Swinburne with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ben Swinburne with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

Ben Swinburne: Thanks. Good morning. I'm not sure, Greg, how much everyone would want to comment, but Live Nation stock's been quite strong last few months. Some of that, I think, in anticipation, correctly, I guess, of the election outcome. What do you think a Republican DOJ means for the range of outcomes for the lawsuit against Live Nation and its ability to navigate that successfully from a shareholder point of view? And then, at the risk of beating team payments to death, Brian, I think you've shown over 200 basis points of leverage year to date. How are you thinking about the full year versus that? And how much of a swing factor is Las Vegas?

Speaker Change: Thanks, Good morning.

Speaker Change: I'm not sure Greg how much are we willing to comment but live nation stock has been quite strong last few months some of that I think in anticipation correctly I guess of the election outcome. What do you think a Republican Doj means for the range of outcomes for the lawsuit against live nation and its ability to navigate that.

Speaker Change: Really from a shareholder point of view.

Speaker Change: And then at the risk of beating team payments to death, Brian.

Speaker Change: I think you're you've shown over and over 200 basis points of leverage year to date.

Speaker Change: How do you think about the full year versus that and how much of a swing factor is Las Vegas is that sort of in a larger than normal variable. When you think about your business as we think about the full year. Thanks, so much.

Ben Swinburne: Is that sort of an, you know, a larger than normal variable when you think about your business as we think about the full year? Thanks so much.

Greg Maffei: Ben, it was nice of you to set up and acknowledge it would be very difficult for me to comment, and I think you got that. Look, Live Nation continues to prosper as a business and continue to believe it serves customers well, and there is no basis for the lawsuit, and I don't think that's gonna change. Their view is not gonna change regardless of administration. Greg- Brian.

Speaker Change: And it was nice of you to set up an acknowledged it would be very difficult for me to comment on I think.

Speaker Change: Like live nation continues to prosper as a business and continue to believe it serves customers well.

Speaker Change: There is no basis for the lawsuit and I don't think that's going to change their view is not going to change regardless of administration.

Speaker Change: Brett Bryan Yeah on prepayments.

Brian Wendling: Yeah, on team payments, like we said last quarter, Ben, slight leverage. I think, de minimis might have been the words I used-

Speaker Change: Yeah.

Speaker Change: Like we said like we said last quarter been slight leverage I think a de minimis might've been the words I used to when we were at 61, 9% at our year to date Q Q2, So we're going to stick with that.

Greg Maffei: Yeah

Brian Wendling: ... when we were at 61.9% at year to date Q2, so we're gonna stick with that. In terms of Vegas being a swing factor, I mean, if you think about our business, most of the revenues are contracted, most of the costs are contracted. The two big swing factors in any given year are the sponsorship go get, and then Vegas ticket sales, because, you know, those have the highest volatility. So yeah, as you get closer to the end of the year, you start to get more clarity on both of those. Although, Vegas, being a last-minute market, as we've pointed out many times, there's lots of work to be done, as you enter Q4. So there it can be a swing factor, but we continue to be optimistic here.

Speaker Change:

Speaker Change: In terms of Vegas being a swing factor I mean, if you think about our business. Most of the revenues are contracted most of the costs are contracted the two big swing factors in any given year are the sponsorship go gurt and then Vegas ticket sales.

Speaker Change: Because you know that those have the highest volatility so yeah as you get closer to the end of the year you start to get more clarity on both of those although vegas being a last minute market as we pointed out many times, there's there's lots of work to be done.

Speaker Change: As you enter Q4, so that it can be a swing factor, but we continue to be optimistic here.

It is true that we are the we have a large demand of even knew possible venues that wants to come in and now we chose would be always balanced between you know the right economic benefits that we can have as a system and also to.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brian Kraft with Deutsche Bank. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Bryan Kraft with Deutsche Bank. Please proceed with your question.

Bryan Kraft: Hi, good morning. I had two, if I could. First, on media rights, are there other major markets in the Americas that have media rights contracts coming up for renewal around the same time as the US? And might we consequently see an Americas media rights deal rather than just the US contract this time around? And then also related to that, how has what you value from your US media partner changed since the renewal with ESPN, given just how streaming has become such a larger part of the business now? And then just separately, sort of a follow-up on Vegas. You know, maybe to ask a little more bluntly, I mean, it sounds like promotion revenue is clearly gonna be up, but ticket prices are gonna be down, so probably overall ticket revenue is gonna be down.

Speaker Change: Hi, good morning.

Speaker Change: I had two if I could first on media rights are there other major markets in the Americas that have media rights contracts coming up for renewal around the same time as the U S.

Speaker Change: Might we consequently see in Americas media rights deal rather than just the U S contract this time around.

Speaker Change: And then also related to that how has what you've value from your U S media partner change since the renewal with ESPN given just how streaming has become such a larger part of the business now.

Speaker Change: Then just separately, it's sort of a follow up on Vegas.

Speaker Change: Maybe to ask a little more bluntly I mean, it sounds like promotion revenue is clearly going to be up but ticket prices are going to be down so probably overall.

Speaker Change: Overall ticket revenue is going to be down is that a fair interpretation of what Rene was going through before thank you.

Bryan Kraft: Is that a fair interpretation of what Renee was going through before? Thank you.

Brian Wendling: So if it's okay, Stefano, I'll take a cut on the media. Look, we-

Speaker Change: So if it's okay, Stefan I'll I'll take a cut on the media look we.

Stefano Domenicali: Absolutely.

Brian Wendling: We would love to find a partner who would take on more markets. That's always very interesting and, you know, make ease of perhaps for them and us.

Speaker Change: They would love to find a partner.

Speaker Change: Who would take on more.

Speaker Change: Markets, that's always very interesting and make it easier perhaps for them and us.

Greg Maffei: ... There are no huge renewals in the Americas that make it logical. Not to say it wouldn't happen, but I don't think it would be an enormous economic swing in any case if we bundled with somebody for all the Americas. We certainly have had rumors of, you know, larger deals, and in some cases, we certainly do have regional deals, but I'm not sure that's going to work for the Americas that way, that there's some partner who is going to take all of it that, that way. As far as streaming, obviously, we see the rise of streaming. We've noticed a couple of costs of them across a couple of our businesses. We certainly noticed. The reality is we have a great streaming product in F1 TV ourselves, which has shown tremendous growth.

Speaker Change: Wei.

Speaker Change: As far as streaming obviously, we see the rise of streaming we've noticed a couple of Kosovo.

Speaker Change: Across a couple of our businesses, we certainly noticed the.

Speaker Change: The reality is we have a great stream product in F. One TV ourselves.

Speaker Change: Which has shown tremendous growth.

Greg Maffei: We would look to consider whether a media partner, you know, how we interacted with them on both a linear side, if it existed, and the streaming side and how our F1 TV fit in. But clearly, streaming is going to be a more major component of all sports rights packages going forward.

Speaker Change: And we would look to consider whether a media partner, how we interacted with them on both the linear side of that existed in the streaming side and how our F. One TV fit in but clearly streaming is going to be more major component of all sports rights packages going forward.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Bryan Kraft: Thank you. And on Vegas, sorry, go ahead.

Speaker Change: Hi, Thank you in Vegas.

Speaker Change: Oh I'm sorry.

Renee Wilm: Sure. Yes, happy to. So I guess just to reiterate, you know, we generally do not give race-specific economics. But with regard to your question on ticket revenue, aggregate ticket revenue will be down from what we originally budgeted in Q1. However, throughout the course of 2024, we have also continued to reduce costs from what we budgeted in Q1. So, you know, I would say that we're working hard to focus on getting the best profitability that we can from Vegas, and again, we would refer you to the broader benefit that it does bring to the F1 ecosystem.

Speaker Change: Sure, Yes happy to so I guess just to reiterate you know we generally do not give raise specific economics, but with regard to your question on ticket revenue.

Speaker Change: I agree that ticket revenue will be down from what we originally budgeted in Q1. However, it throughout the course of 'twenty. Four we have also continue to reduce cost from what we thought in Q1 I.

Speaker Change: I would say is that we're working hard to focus on getting the best profitability that we can from Vegas and again, we would refer you to the broader benefit but it does bring to the us.

Bryan Kraft: Thank you.

Speaker Change: Thank you.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of David Joyce with Seaport Research Partners. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of David Joyce with Seaport Research Partners. Please proceed with your question.

David Joyce: Thank you. I had two little questions, please. One was just a little bit more on the media rights. Just given that some of your recent deals have been extended beyond the typical kind of three-year period we used to see, and other sports leagues have done that as well. Just wondering how you're thinking about your objectives with these upcoming rights deals. And then the second question is on just a little one on the accounting of how you'll be recognizing the F1 movie next year. Thanks.

Speaker Change: Thank you two little questions. Please one was just a little bit more on the media rights just given that some of your recent deals.

Speaker Change: I've been extremely.

Speaker Change: Tended beyond the typical kind of three year period, we used to see in other sports leagues have done that as well just wondering.

Speaker Change: How youre thinking about your objectives with these upcoming rights deals and then the second question is on just a little one on the accounting of how.

Speaker Change: You'll be recognizing the F. One moving next year. Thanks.

Greg Maffei: So I think on the media rights deals, I outlined some of our goals in terms of growing reach and making it a great experience for our fans as well as payments to us. So I think all of those goals remain the same. We've chosen market by market, longer or shorter deals based on, you know, where we stood in the market, what our growth was, what our partners were doing, and what we wanted to go. And obviously, one of the reasons we cut a shorter deal in the US last time is we were confident and really betting on ourselves that we would get a larger renewal down the road. That did work the first time we did a three-year deal. I'm optimistic it will work again. I'm not projecting whether the deal will be shorter or longer.

Speaker Change: So I think on the on the media rights deals I outlined some of our goals in terms of growing reach.

Speaker Change: And making it a great experience for our fans as well as payments to us.

Speaker Change: So I think all of those goals remain the same.

Speaker Change: We've chosen market by market longer or shorter deals based on.

Speaker Change: Where we sit in the market what our growth was what our partners. We're doing what we wanted to go and obviously one of the reasons, we cut a shorter deal in the U S. Last time as we were confident and really betting on ourselves that we would get a larger renewal down the road.

Speaker Change: That didn't work the first time, we did a three year deal I'm optimistic it will work again I'm not projecting whether the deal will be shorter or longer I would note. It's likely particularly if you went to another partner, which I'm not sure that's going to happen you probably wouldn't cut a longer deal just because that partner would want to have some period to grow into it and work together.

Greg Maffei: I would note it's likely, particularly if you went to another partner, which, not sure, that's going to happen, you probably would cut a longer deal just because that partner would want to have some period to grow into it and work together. But that's just observing on the media market. That's not projecting what we will or will not do on the US. And on the F1 movie, we've been paid in 2023 and 2024 for their use of the paddock building and having access to certain races. I think going forward, the revenues that you would expect there would be pretty small.

Speaker Change: That's just observing on the media market, that's not projecting what we will or will not do in the U S.

Speaker Change: And on the F. One movie.

Speaker Change: We've been paid in 2023 and 2024 for their use of <unk>.

Speaker Change: The panic building and having access to certain races, I think going forward. The revenues that you would expect there would be pretty small.

David Joyce: Okay, thank you.

Speaker Change: Okay. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Barton Crockett with Rosenblatt Securities. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker Change: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Barton Crockett with Rosenblatt Securities. Please proceed with your question.

Barton Crockett: Okay, great. Thanks for taking the question. Now, I guess a couple, if I can. You know, one is, you know, turning to Vegas, looking beyond the race. I know there's been some hope that the off-season could be monetized at Vegas, and that could help, you know, maybe the margin profile. And I was just wondering if you could give us an update of your progress there. Are you really doing anything meaningful in the off-season? You mentioned the film. I'm just wondering if there's anything else meaningful happening.

Speaker Change: Okay, great. Thanks for taking the question.

Speaker Change: I guess a couple if I can one is now turning to Vegas.

Speaker Change: Looking beyond the race I know theres been some hope that the off season could be monetized at Vegas in that could help you know maybe the margin profile and I was just wondering if you could give us an update of via.

Speaker Change: Progress how are you doing anything meaningful in the off season, you mentioned that film I'm, just wondering if theres anything else meaningful happening.

Renee Wilm: Sure. So we are working hard to launch the year-round business beyond just the event conference segment. Beginning in, I'd say, late Q1 of 2025, it's going to be actually very much focused around educating new fans, bringing the new fans deeper into the sport. Obviously, Las Vegas is a destination, and we want to try to leverage that and bring these visitors to learn more about Formula One coming deeper into the US culture. There will be a karting business there. There will also be a fun, interactive experience, or, you know, 3D, 4D type offering, which will also include a little bit of the legacy F1 exhibition type educational experience as well. And then we will be looking to package those experiences to enhance the event conference base.

Speaker Change: Sure. So we are working hard to launch a year round business beyond just the event conference segment.

Speaker Change: And I'd say late Q1 of 'twenty five.

Speaker Change: It's gonna be actually very much focused around educating news and bringing the new fans deeper into the sport, obviously Las Vegas is a destination.

Speaker Change: And we wanted to try to leverage that and bring these visitors to learn more about formula one.

Speaker Change: Coming deeper into the U S culture.

Speaker Change: There will there will be a cardenas is there there will also be assigned an interactive experience.

Speaker Change: D 40 mm type of offering which will also include a little bit of the the legacy F. One exhibition type educational experience as well and then we will be looking to package those experiences to enhance the nonconference space. So a lot more to come and we hope to be giving more specifics around that business during race week.

Renee Wilm: So a lot more to come, and we hope to be giving more specifics around that business during race week.

Barton Crockett: Okay. And then, you know, if I could just follow up also on sponsorship. Just to be clear, with all these announcements starting in 2025, it sounds like 2025 is going to be a strong year for sponsorship. But I was just wondering if you could comment on that more directly. Is that what we're seeing?

Speaker Change: Okay.

Speaker Change: Then.

Speaker Change: If I could just follow up also on sponsorship.

Speaker Change: Just to be clear I mean, if all of these announcements starting in 2025.

Speaker Change: It sounds like 2025, it's going to be a strong year for sponsorship.
