spk_9: i'll take so much crackers wanted to focus on liberty a serious xm group i just a curious if you have any updated thoughts on the discount asset value and sort of options and and timing of options to improve that him i guess is part of that specifically discouraged if you talk about the strategy or on the live nation state at liberty and whether there's ways for liberty to create value with that stake beyond just sort of an ongoing shareholder of of life station which i'm i'm sure your bullish on the other other ways for liberty to our trade value with that worship say thank you
spk_3: or dog i think thank you for the question i think we've gone through some of the options are on the table and discuss before and i'm probably are unlikely to do that to go for more jen like to say how we were aware were paying attention were taking actions to prepare ourselves for different choices i set ourselves up and when we have something to announce obviously will make the announcement the i just want to reiterate we think lived is very attractive we think that guy certainly devalues not fully recognized in our sex out and we think there are things that businesses that are worthy to add on to live that could be extinct or opportunity for us there's much we can do around apples are around the lives they can particular but i'm less likely to go for every you are what we can do and exempt as i think we covered those before
spk_9: maybe greg is just a quick followup you can help investors kind of shapes time frames as are other things that you can do that you think are in a material and him in the short term ya next four months for these things that will take longer to play out any any thoughts are on helping us with with timeframe

spk_0: thank you doug
spk_11: our next question is from brian crafts with deutsche bank please proceed with your question
spk_3: hi good morning i've got one for stuff now and one for brag that he may or may not answer but i'll try i think on task cause when asked about the atp status of sirius xm he says believe it is and a td i was wondering if your connection with respect to sirius xm being an atp has since increase know can you say more definitively at it that it's actually die does have a to be sadness and in stefano your comments on the attendance increases i think really interesting i think that's the view on race promotion revenue historically has been that it sort of us ladder type revenue outlook given the high pricing on those deals some talents promoter economics but with the increases in ticket sales and attack did she talks about of us deliver lot of i'd promoters do you think that that means his promotion revenues could become actually a significance and consistent revenue growth driver going forward thanks
spk_12: let's stefano coverage and his voice and then i'll watch on the things i'm not going to which
spk_3: sexual okay thanks extract actually you're totally right to the as the us embassy villages just regulators and insert in terms of us all the what for what is ringing maybe to new audiences and that is to the his mother were happy with the with it was so to promote it is it more relates to the side that that he's a see that as a result as i am the part of the think that is on our side and every little bit of the challenged by the be opportunity to move forward visit how we can maximize revenue and the and and monotype that i believe the weekend states on the that for one is become more more fact that's really what we gonna do in the future that it's a way to the with says i'm sure that we got us capitalized these growth in the in the best way that we can let couple of years stefano so far i'm going to give you confidence i'm going to read i still believe series examines the need to be a change in our positions
spk_11: and together governor all been found out at the time just something just tested but that we still have deposition
spk_0: okay thank you
spk_3: our next question is from jason bazinet with city please proceed with your questions
spk_11: you guys have always talking the past about some flexibility that you did to trackers give you can see you can sort of move assets and liabilities across
spk_13: zero zero you know but when i step back and i think about sort of broader liberty it feels like they're there is sort of a slow march towards asset backed securities right like a eventually the terminal year
spk_3: it seems to be everything is going to be asset that is that wrong well thank you for the question jason i don't think we really seen a change in our procedure we think the tracker has real value and gives us flexibility spot history has also been that we created many many asset backed securities off the top of my head i can think of the media which was effectively direct t v commerce have expedia got liberty expedia going to expedia on the list goes on and we pack obviously bringing to write off on it's own american many many times and i mean that's going back in my seventeen years not sure we've had a
spk_13: jimmy mission and our interests and trackers or a change our respective asset backed securities certainly have their value at the right time and place okay this is good it did sort of unwinding shuddering dispatched
spk_3: sort of much more in the direction of not needing flexibility years as soon as a false interpretations guy i'm not sure i would read as interpretation i think it's a recognition of he thinks have a life the market at a moment in time we got there was an opportunity we couldn't find the one we wanted unlike many sponsors of facts were playing for the carry with committed real capital and were concerned about and aligned with our shareholders and one to have a good return or not just a pop
spk_0: i think specs are obviously challenge for many reasons both because the martyr reaction right now on us because of a regulatory profiles towards them so that was a recognition of those factors not in a statement about lack of optionality or flexibility your desire for them
spk_14: okay
spk_3: or next question comes from david carnoustie with jp morgan please proceed with your question they do stefano wanted to see if you to expand to be on a meteorite samuel would sky which are the decision to do that you'll early and across multiple territories and then grade just wanted to see if you get update on how you thinking about his formula one cash balance in wider net leverage and decision on l neck thanks thanks david i think that it a we talked about me to is is there is a landscape where that we have a to consider the evolution made into new markets becoming a for from the was in the more than three traditional and mature markets i think that was the have taken as a decision to invest and to be stable is guys means a lot because until moses of the of the other opportunities market does not really the ones that can this extended from the financial that also for the is to that point of view and the concert to view would want to achieve it is clear that the the fact that the we're rolling eg give us potential for the future to see out in that kind of that they mentioned totally pay tv but also others and mean that would be interesting for that could be attractive for our business of course we want to make sure that the for the first the decisions that is also the bush beads or for our as on tv is going tremendously wealth to be incorporated a job for us to our customers so that's really the saddest the we are thinking so far and and and the and this is that would say you should go like this guy's to the completion of the valuable or that that some for the that lot of our at one confidence intervals
spk_2: job i could just add on i mean i and reinforce the point sky's gray partner
spk_3: across three important geography is for more than that they're a great partner in terms of their production most to give your and us are watching this guy broadcast and tell you i'm i'm always very impressed with what they do and securing that and ensuring that the sponsorship for longer periods was attractive know as far as what are you to the cash you're going to be we have a high quality problem that we have a great free cash flow generating energy in formula one with we believe the potential to increase that over time have you seen us or buybacks stock at various times and form of the one but we also think there are potentially in this market opportunities for all the reasons that i talked about the difficult to organize a non market
spk_0: tested or no need to do extra and financing ability to do something on on could create interesting opportunities so we will continue to way both the flexibility that were provided by those for castles of the delivering against what's your purchases against other alternatives and space like investing in our visited las vegas and alps
spk_15: i'd opportunities
spk_16: i guess our next question is from bench when swinburne's with morgan stanley please proceed with your question thanks the morning see one on f one for for greg or stephen or or both of you are on the east india which is where does media is now formally announced
spk_3: it elite sort of the press you guys took less money skull lot of money but less money than you could have had to dig i know why but could you spend a couple minutes talking about why it what is new in this e s p n a b c deal besides more money that you think it's strategic and sort of the that the data sets of disagreements and the duration that you pay time because obviously us markets a huge opportunity for you and then maybe this is for brian but just didn't mention currency in the press release at a flaunted he knows that was a material or not material impact in the quarter and she in a in corporate costs are both up quite a bit year on year and and quarter on quarter city vegas related to any color there's there's one timers would be helpful every was all touch on such i have been first and then let's that know at if it's okay lot we have had a believe in the strength of the business which causes to cartoonishly a shorter deal with up getting the highest paid lot of time and this were know we did the same we wanted the brought us exposure he has been it's been a very good partner we think the after to continue to grow the sport united states cause us to cut a relatively short term deal with them because we think we will do better on the road so far betting on ourselves has been the right strategy getting on growth betting on bread rather than current page has been already tragic and i think you saw that exhibited there were other things that he has pm has been a great partner about and i think the option to work with them on things like have one t v our up with a part of why they were a good partner and and go forward on that basis so i'm we're very excited about half what about f one and he has been been together for the next three years graphics a say ross excited about the kind of opportunity will seem three years when we were new with somebody that's an overdrive i couldn't agree more of a drag dragon the that this we need to they could say that the because sometimes we have a virtual memory a couple of years go there with not so many and media rights holders you are the ones to investment us and now we need to get ready to yes pm that internal constantly civil of attention to mobile how with dear really falling for one as they did a phenomenal job which will be even stronger in the next three years because we have us and v the you know the position of the reason that in the in and certain channels as who had more attention to that so i see that this week we with have carefully about that these test and i think that the fact those the with this agreement we keep us as rebel nation of the of lumpy the private sale on our side means a lot so i think that the best solution than a three time we see how that market was develop we're pretty sure you to the growth and us that the would be other players that will be around the table that interested to be with us in the future death and ban on your other two questions effect was pretty much to the universe for the quarter loses remind you that about eighty percent of our our revenue cause for actually us dollar so we've we we do have ups and downs on fx from time to time it was it was not a powerful for a quarter you a question again i would just reiterate always better to lunch at the a for your basis but we we did have a makeshift indeed
spk_17: in the number of reasons that worried european vs fly away we lost russia in the current period
spk_0: so that has good of a margin impact there was hired you need support the overall revenue growth and margin expansion on a year to day basis
spk_18: and then as you pointed out on vegas still not material but obviously there are some passenger went to vegas as they have their prepare for the launch of and ticket sales they expressed us or next question comes from barton crockett with rosenblatt securities please proceed with your question okay i thank you i guess so to questions if i could that the first as south you know the macro situation in europe
spk_19: really kind of our levels that we haven't seen in years maybe in my lifetime hundred and one others and i'm just wondering
spk_3: at what point do you think that this could have an impact on the f one business i didn't seem like it has to date and maybe the answers it never will but at what point i do think with the ever get to a point where this could have an impact on attendance at races and maybe an impact on race promotions seized those communities are in our promoters or economically challenged thank you for coming let's let me think about these things first of all been a world championship we can spread around the world reason for that kind of situation to manage on the other hand it's like that we have long term agreements would reduce exposure to these are these risks and the what i can say and said we do is that we already see an incredible number privatization with the against the ticketing of next year so this is a good signing a contract that you're saying and maybe you know that i'm leaving
spk_20: it is clear that the recession is to keep the other thing that this the with the are such are the way that we have that the deal will protect us a little a little with unable to move forward these elections that for i would say these these cancellation
spk_3: let us think that we should be optimistic and these companies of these courses
spk_2: we haven't thought about that this is what we see today
spk_3: yeah i think i meant that i that are you that we're seeing a case where
spk_18: you'll look across our business i am consumers are still purchasing when the that's in formula one or at live nation or if the lead a brave for all of services is very high and i think that is reinforcement ones that stuff not mean we have many promoters was doing very well and putting those in the
spk_21: in europe and there's high demand both among consumers and therefore promoter conference on the against the long term contracts very good okay
spk_3: and then the other thing i was curious about it you know the the fact that you know if we've got the the race winner it's a team winners pretty well so now well before the season is over a formula one versus last year thinks we're pretty competitive right you know until the very on last lap on what difference does that make in terms of the financial mark of your business over the balance of this year i mean it's out ahead went in any way you know anything you can speak to based on historical or any other kind of anecdotes well actually we don't see any kind visitor at a told them and first the whole the of the last race was so out things and at the end and and the numbers
spk_22: he is really close as the attention of with the sheets of course in other fight on the sporting on on the sport in there and sporty perspective so that's part of the of other races and the i was like twenty five million other comments if we are totally positive on the impact that the changes exists for dishes and that
spk_0: we cannot comment on the fact that the team but specifically in this kid were good old much as tough as an incredible job babysit other team did to take the right opportunities but what we saw on the track is that will to erase investment we wanted and up from totally confident that takes years to fight on the track with a right up to the end of the
spk_11: or of the clintons and that and the and that it as yet and the agency's the last races you know on on the on the sport is sad that is a lot of attention to raise of fight for places does it also for the do perspective it said related to their financial position and the financially rewarding easily achievable as you better get busy so i think that they will be a lot of interest in does he live in love with that we do with novel
spk_3: okay thank you our next question is from david joyce with barclays please proceed with your questions make you a couple in formula one first those wondering if you could help us understand what's the incremental than the new agreement with eight of us are and and secondly it's wonder if you could explain what the gating factors would be to adding another if one team how is it allowed in the current conquered agreement or without requires duel and is it's not as a factor of the these of the the by in to keep everybody equal to speak to kind of prohibitive for the secret to start walk us through the thought process and ill restrictions there be helpful
