Question: David E. Hynes - Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division - Analyst
: Frank, a two-parter for you on the data sharing stuff. So the customers that have embraced data sharing, how long does it typically
take for them to get there? Like can that happen quick? Or is it typically more with customers that have been on the platform for a
bit? And then the follow-up, the part 2 would be how much of an inflection consumption does that typically drive?
Question: David E. Hynes - Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division - Analyst
: Just how much of an inflection that is in consumption.
Question: David E. Hynes - Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division - Analyst
: Yes. Got it. And Mike, a very quick follow-up for you. Of the $800 million for Streamlit, how much is cash?
Question: David E. Hynes - Canaccord Genuity Corp., Research Division - Analyst
: 80% stock. Okay. Got it.
Question: Kasthuri Gopalan Rangan - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: It's Kash here, guys. I'm curious to get your -- despite your best-case scenario for Streamlit, the dream that we envision 2 or 3 years
from now, what is Streamlit going to allow Snowflake to pursue in the machine learning data science realm that would consider this
to be a success.
And Mike, a question for you. I know that you mentioned that you're passing along savings back to customers, but customers are
also coming back and doing more workloads with you guys. So if you can just run to the rationale of why do you think renewal rate,
net retention rates are going to go below 150%. Because it's coming off of a very, very high base and you've actually earned the
goodwill and trust of your customer.
Question: Karl Emil Keirstead - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Analyst
: Two questions. So Mike, to start, does the Q1 April product revenue guide of $388 million assume a more conservative view on usage
ramps given what you flagged in early January? Or does it assume basically a return to normal activity, seasonality?
Question: Karl Emil Keirstead - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. And then as a second question, if I could just press a little bit on the context to passing on these platform improvements.
Companies normally don't willingly make changes that cut 5% out of the revenues. So I'm curious, were you getting pushback from
customers around price performance relative to alternative products and you decided to try to alleviate that price pushback by
making this change? Like what's the broader context for doing this? Because it's very rare.
