Question: Andrew Owen Nicholas - William Blair & Company L.L.C., Research Division - Analyst
: My first one, I wanted to ask another one on international. You mentioned in your prepared remarks and it's noted on a few of the slides that you're
outgrowing underlying markets. So I was wondering if there's any region in particular or country in particular where your share gains are outsized
internationally? And then to the extent that's the case, what is specifically driving your gains in those markets?

Question: Andrew Owen Nicholas - William Blair & Company L.L.C., Research Division - Analyst
: Got it. And then for my follow-up, I know it's been touched on a few times already, but to flesh out Kount solutions a little bit further. I think you
said 200%-plus growth there. Is there any additional color you could give on specific products that are contributing? And maybe more importantly
from my perspective, how should I think about how much of that strength is tied to better hiring volumes, to the extent that it is, particularly relative
to second quarter of last year?
Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Just a quick -- wondering if you can provide a quick update on your FICO partnership and the Data Decisions Cloud. Have you seen better traction
there particularly as consumer marketing and consumer lending picks up?
Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: That's very helpful color. That's great. And then maybe just a quick question on -- any update on the regulatory front? Again, I know you've spoken
about this in the past, but just there was a financial services committee hearing in June. And then there were certain things around -- regulators
are talking about changing the CRA. I was just wondering if you can talk about how that can potentially -- any impact to the business but also how
we think about increased demand for alternate data as there is more focused on unbanked and underbanked customer.
Question: Ashish Sabadra - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: That's very helpful. Congrats again on the solid results.
