Question: Ygal Arounian - Citi Infrastructure Investments LLC - Analyst
: Okay. So I would say, broadly, the biggest theme in the space over the past couple of months, probably with Gen AI. We'll talk about your products,
obviously. But this theme of you can just kind of talk a website into creation, how that -- what that opportunity is for you? Is it a risk around your
business model? What are you seeing today? Just start with that at a high level, given the importance of what we're seeing.
Question: Ygal Arounian - Citi Infrastructure Investments LLC - Analyst
: It's not rolled out yet.
Question: Ygal Arounian - Citi Infrastructure Investments LLC - Analyst
: Okay. And so just to tie up this LLM vibe coding conversation before (technical difficulty) ARR from some of these new entrants and smaller platforms.
It sounds like you're not seeing any impact to your business or your customer at all from that, and it's kind of a different swim lane. Is that fair?

Question: Ygal Arounian - Citi Infrastructure Investments LLC - Analyst
: All right. Let's (technical difficulty) last earnings, you talked about excluding some of the divestitures and I think it was like the migration impacts.
Maybe you could elaborate on that. But excluding those, you've seen customer growth in the past few months (technical difficulty) higher converting
multiproduct customer more than the kind of like the broader funnel.
I think maybe I'm not characterizing correctly. So can you just talk about your strategy, what you're seeing from customer growth, where you're
really focused? And how can you get investors to finally feel comfortable about where you are with your customer?
Question: Ygal Arounian - Citi Infrastructure Investments LLC - Analyst
: Change to getting back to customer growth?
Question: Ygal Arounian - Citi Infrastructure Investments LLC - Analyst
: Okay. Got it. So let's shift to pricing and bundling, which has been a big part of, I think. So Arrow (technical difficulty) with that, what's -- how much
more room is there with the pricing and bundling opportunity? Where (technical difficulty)
Question: Ygal Arounian - Citi Infrastructure Investments LLC - Analyst
: Or do you kind of view it as one single bundle?

All right. Maybe so -- let's talk margins and investment levels and (technical difficulty) particularly around like what we're seeing around Gen AI.
And yes, there's an opportunity on the efficiency side, but is (technical difficulty) you talked about your North Star and free cash flow per share.
What -- how should we think about the puts and takes in that?
