Question: Kash Rangan - Goldman Sachs Group Inc - Analyst
: Thank you very much, Jim. This may be the last time for me on our -- earnings conference call. I want to say it's been great working with you Vlad
and the team. You've been resilient, you pivoted the company hard during the downturn. We went for profitability and also steered the ship once
again, not from a financial standpoint, but from a technological standpoint to be ready for the AI world ahead.

NOVEMBER 03, 2025 / 10:00PM, RNG.N - Q3 2025 RingCentral Inc Earnings Call
We will you really well in that journey ahead, and you've been once again validating the view that you're a very resilient leader and a very resilient
company.
Vlad, as you look ahead, I mean the product discussion certainly is thoughtful, but it also represents a lot of rebranding change, et cetera, et cetera,
and assure the term RingCentral 3.0 being thrown about.
So as you project ahead, if a customer, a large Fortune 500 customer were to buy into your vision of RingCentral 3.0 and were to implement our
full family and portfolio of products under the 3.0 banner, what are the business benefits that Fortune 500 company would stand the benefit that
they couldn't get with RingCentral 1.0 or 2.0?
That's it for me and best wishes for the team.
Question: Elizabeth Porter - Morgan Stanley - Analyst
: I wanted to follow up on the strength in your global service provider partnerships. Can you speak to which products are gaining the most traction
and the durability of that growth? Are the GSP contribution becoming kind of more reoccurring and predictable or are they somewhat concentrated
in the new deployments.
And then just as a follow-up, as does partner scale, how should we think about the revenue mix and margin implications versus the direct sales?
Question: Siti Panigrahi - Mizuho Securities USA LLC - Analyst
: I just have two quick questions. Starting with the contact center momentum. How are you seeing the train following your renewal partnership
with NICE and both in the market and bring momentum on the down market. And a quick follow-up for Bev. How are you thinking about your
capital allocation framework given that you have to pay back pay down some of the debt?
And how should we think about the buyback going forward?
