Hello and thanks for joining us for our fourth quarter and full year 2025 earnings call. It's great to be with all of you today. Yesterday, after the market closed, we released our earnings and posted our earnings commentary on our investor relations website. Today, I will make opening remarks and then open up the call for your questions. For more details on our quarterly and full year performance, I encourage you to read our full earnings commentary, press release, and 10K. I want to start with what matters most. 2025 was a milestone year for Groupon. For the first time in a decade, we returned to both billings and revenue growth. Full year global billings grew 7% to approximately 1.67 billion. We delivered a second consecutive year of positive free cash flow and exited the year with approximately 296 million in cash. These are not incremental improvements. This is a fundamentally different company than the one that existed three years ago. Our core local marketplace, which represents approximately 90% of billings, grew double digits for the full year in both North America and international, excluding gift cloud. Global active customers reached 16.2 million, up more than 5% year over year, with North America local active customers growing 12%. Now, let me be direct about Q4. We did not finish the year the way we planned. Global billings grew 4% year-over-year, but came in below our guidance range, as did revenue and adjusted EBITDA. The shortfall was not broadly distributed. It was concentrated in two specific areas, enterprise channel deceleration in North America and underperformance in our organic and owned marketing channels. Both are well understood, both have clear root causes, and both have direct action plans underway, which we go into more detail in our earnings commentary that we released last night. On the product side, our product and engineering organization is shipping more, faster, and with better quality than at any point in recent memory. Our platform migration reached a significant milestone with 50% of all iOS North America users now on the new mobile app, and we expect all iOS North America users to be migrated by the end of Q1. Along with our new website, this is a complete rebuild of our core consumer platform, a multi-year undertaking, and completing this ramp-up is meaningful not just as a technical milestone, but as the foundation for our next phase of growth. Early results show that the new users on the updated platform are generating stronger monetization per user than on the legacy app. With the new platform in place, we now have the development velocity to move quickly on the opportunities ahead. In 2026, our product agenda shifts from conversion first to grow first with a new search and relevance engine. A customer data platform now live life in North America to drive personalized customer journeys and the infrastructure to make our inventory discoverable and transactable by AI agents and platforms. That last point is central to where we are taking this business. Our number one strategic priority for 2026 is to shift the business towards an AI native operating model. We believe the next generation of local experience discovery and transaction will be driven by autonomous agentic systems that can evaluate options and execute transactions on behalf of customers. The platforms that position early for this shift will capture disproportionate value and we intend to be one of them. We are building our proprietary AI personalization layer, making our inventory discoverable and transactable by AI agents, and targeting technical readiness for AI agent-initiated transactions by mid-2026. To underscore our commitment, today we announced the formation of a dedicated artificial intelligence committee of the board of directors, making Groupon one of the first publicly traded consumer marketplaces to establish a board-level AI committee. We appointed Amit Shah as a new independent director to chair the committee. Shah is the founder and CEO of InstaLily AI and previously served as a president of 1800flowers.com. His experience and the intersection of commerce, platforms, and emerging technologies is directly relevant to the work ahead. On 2026 guidance, our full year results delivered our first consecutive year of improving revenue growth, and we expect that trend to continue. That said, the pace of growth improvement will be more moderate than the trajectory we were building towards. The headwinds in organic, owned, and enterprise channels are addressable, and we have clear plans against each, but the fixes will take time to compound. Our guidance reflects that reality. We are guiding to 3-5% billings growth, 3-5% revenue growth, 70-75 million in adjusted EBITDA, and at least 60 million in free cash flow. We also plan to host an investor event in the second half of 2026 to provide deeper insight into our strategy and our path forward. Taking a step back, the long-term opportunity here remains enormous. The market for online experiences has significant underpenetration compared to categories like hotels and airfare. We believe AI-driven discovery and agentic transactions will accelerate online penetration in local experiences, and Groupon is well positioned to capture that growth. We remain confident in our long-term targets to accelerate global billings growth to over 20%. As we move into our growth phase, we are anchoring the company around a clear mission. We get people offline through quality local experiences at great value. In a market where every platform competes for more screen time, Groupon exists to drive real-world commerce, connecting consumers to local businesses, and generating measurable food traffic and spend. As AI shifts from assistive tool to autonomous agents that can discover, evaluate, and transact, Groupon's position at the intersection of consumer intent and local supply makes us natural bridge between the AI economy and the millions of businesses that power local communities. We are still in the early innings of a massive opportunity to become the trusted destination for discovering high-quality local services and experiences at unbeatable value. We have the cash, the technology, and the strategy to win. Our work is far from finished, but the foundation we have built gives me real confidence in what comes next. I want to thank our team. This transformation is not easy, and their dedication, intensity, and execution excellence have made this progress possible. With that, let's open the call for questions.

Thank you, Dushan. Our first question comes from Bobby Brooks from Northland Capital Markets. Bobby, you can now unmute your line. Good morning, Keenan. Thank you for taking my question.

So it was excellent to hear the commentary of how conversion rates across every portal and geo improves in the fourth quarter. I just wanted to hear more on what you believe drove that. And do you feel like there's more room to go on improving this further? Or maybe it's at a level you'd like to maintain? Just curious to hear more there.

Yeah. Thank you, Bobby, for the question. I believe that the conversion results which we have are result of several different aspects. The first I would like to mention is the platform development, because when you compare what we are running and operating in Groupon versus what we had two years ago, the consumer interface is much more consumer friendly. We are improving the search and the relevance experience, just trying to present our customers the products which are relevant. The second dimension of that is also related to our offer, because we are not just trying to get as many merchants on the platform as possible, but we are really discussing the quality of merchants, quality of offerings, and this is also translated to conversion. And at the same time, in our marketing channels, we are trying to buy as relevant traffic as possible, not just widely get users who may not be really interested in our deals on the platform, but we are trying to improve the marketing. So we are buying in the paid channels the traffic which has the highest possible conversion. This comes also with the fact that we are buying slightly less eyeballs in general, but improving the conversion significantly. I expect that this trend will continue because also part of this decision-making funnel is moving towards AI surfaces and interfaces, which are informing customers on what's possible. But we will continue with our conversion improvements through the better inventory and better products. So I expect that this trend will continue. Got it.

And then shifting gears, you mentioned how a weak pipeline of new brand ads and some one-off issues with existing enterprise merchants kind of drove that weakness in that segment. But I wanted to get a little bit more in depth there. Why do you think the pipeline is weak just generally? Because it felt like we turned a corner in winning new merchants as you could kind of go to them with a lot more data supporting, hey, why doing vouchers on Groupon is beneficial? Did something change there? Maybe that was more specific to SMBs. Just wanted to hear more on how that pipeline for enterprise weakened. Yeah.

So last year we made a bet on a partner to be our channel to acquire new customer acquisition. And simply that deal is going below our expectations. So we were expecting to get more traction and more new partners on our platform through that partnership, which actually we announced last year publicly. At the same time, we see that the market is slightly changing with an hour. We need to work on our product to have better product market fit because traditionally we have the coupons or the deal type of product. What we see is that the market is moving towards a closed loop transactions when the product price, for example, is not visible directly on the website. You need to register or the offer is up only because it's so easy now to find out what's the pricing and the big brands don't want to see different pricing on Groupon publicly versus what's, for example, on their website. So in this area, we are iterating our product with improvements on this closed-loop proposition so that we can serve more brands in this direction. And then maybe I would mention the reason why we are talking about the fact that it will take some time to compound the results. Enterprise is a long cycle. So when we start talking to the potential partner, the deal is not closed in a few weeks. You should think about it more as a negotiation process, which takes several months to close, sometimes even quarters, because sometimes we need to include it in our annual planning.

Got it. That's helpful. And just that was something I wanted to double click on too is the closed loop, the closed loop part. So if I'm understanding correctly, it's essentially kind of not having the deal, like the price of the deal listed just blankly, but you would have to like kind of create a Groupon account to then see the deal just blankly. want to make sure I'm understanding. Okay, so that's all right.

This is it. There will be several levels of the closed loop because there are different requirements of brands on the market. We already have some experiments up and running in travel and in some other categories. There will be cases where the offer will be visible on the website, but you have to first register, which is pretty much one click right now using the single sign-on technologies. In some cases, we will just have an information on the website that in order to access the price for this deal, you need to install the application and you can get the deal in the application.

Got it. And just last one for me before going back to the Q is sticking with this enterprise stuff. You mentioned how you kind of reorganize that enterprise channel to align with vertical focus category structure. Just wanted to get some color on how was the team structured previously? And it's this new vertical focus category structure. Is that the same structure that has led to strong success in key cities like Chicago?

It's similar structure. I would not say that it's the same structure, but what we see across the board in Groupon, when we look on any segment or category as one product, one Groupon product, it typically doesn't work because there is a lot of color for each category. The go-to market in things to do in local experiences is different than go-to market in... For example, in health and beauty categories. So we are doing exactly the same stuff. We have the category GMs who have the industry knowledge. They typically also know the people within the industry. And then they are guiding the sales team how they should be approaching the product for their specific category. In the local segment, we were incorporating this geography-specific know-how, which is not necessary in enterprise, but the core idea behind it is exactly the same. We simply need to have very targeted, focused, go-to-market for each category where we operate. The people who will be talking to our enterprise partners are people who understand the value proposition of Groupon in this specific category, not just some generic one.

Appreciate our return to the queue.

Thank you. Thank you, Bobby. Our next question comes from Sean McGowan from Roth Capital Partners. Sean, you can now unmute your line.

Thank you. Maybe this is related to what you were talking about, but I'm interested in some color on what happened in travel. I know it's not a big category, but it seemed to be developing some positive momentum that was negative in the fourth quarter. Is that related to these enterprise comments you've been making?

I would say that in travel, we have partnerships with very few brands which are making a big share of the travel revenue which we generate. And travel for us right now is not the top priority and focus. So we still believe that Groupon has a position and play in this category. Yet right now, it's kind of... not a central focus for new product features, new product developments. So this is related.

Okay. Can you comment on what you're seeing in those European markets that you've referenced in previous calls that, you know, were kind of early in the adoption of some of the acceleration initiatives you've adopted that, you know, that you were seeing very good success in those markets. Can you comment on how those markets did in the fourth quarter?

So we have very good performance across the board in international. In our international markets, we were implementing all the changes and sometimes they were even in frontiers in this, how to run the sales organization, how to be very diligent in the quality of the deal, going to the city level to find out what should be the next deal we sign in Europe. any given metro. In terms of technology, actually the UK was the first country where we implemented our CDP as a pilot project. And in Q1, we were able to migrate to new web interface, the new mobile next platform, which we are operating in the United States in most countries, either fully or with like high percentage of traffic. So from the perspective of sales organization, the international is running on the same level in some areas and countries, even better than North America in terms of technology. We don't have the application in international yet. This will be Q2 and Q3 of this year, but we are already migrated most countries to the new web interface.

Okay, thank you. Last question is for me for now is on modeling. Is there anything in the SG&A figure in the fourth quarter that was kind of unusually low or is this a level we should expect? I thought it might be higher, which is good, but should we expect it to be at about this level?

Yeah, Sean, I'll take this. This is Rana. Yeah, SG&A did come in lower than we were expecting in Q4. And I do think there were some one-time benefits in SG&A there. And so I do not expect that would be, let's say, the new level. How we're thinking about SG&A right now, If you take a step back and look at where it was on excluding DNA and excluding stock-based compensation, we're really looking for SG&A to be flattish year over year. And so we would encourage you to take more of the full year view as you think about SG&A for 2026.

Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, Sean. Our next question comes from Eric Sheridan from Goldman Sachs. Eric, you can now unmute your line.

Great. Thank you very much. Maybe two if I can. The first, the big picture one, with this new committee of the board that's aimed broadly at AI as a theme, can you talk a little bit about how the management team, this committee, and the broader board will sort of work together in terms of formulating strategy, and then more importantly, implementing and investing against AI strategy looking out over the next couple of years? That'd be the big picture one. And then the more model-oriented one would be, you talked about some of the headwinds you saw in Q4 persisting into the front half of the year. Is there any way you can give us a sense of a bit of the pace and cadence of the headwinds dissipating as we get deeper into the year and how to think about some of the sequential dynamics as we progress through 2026? Thanks so much.

Thank you, Eric, for the question. On the AI piece or AI committee question, AI is right now number one topic for me personally as a CEO in Groupon. I see it as a huge opportunity for us on a all possible surfaces and areas. We need to start internally with the team and then translate this also to our product and how we operate on the market. So I am personally very heavily invested in AI. I am meeting multiple people and we formed a partnership with Amit, which is very close in terms, let's say in the depth, how we are cooperating. So Amit will be participating on discussions with management, sharing his vision, but also providing feedback on what we are creating. He will be providing feedback also on the level of management team, AI fluency, and he will be participating on building the future AI driven products and revenue streams for Groupon. So this is not just like a formal discussion, AI committee, which is a meeting once a quarter, but this is like a heavy focus, deep integration with Groupon management team. On the second question, the timing of those headwinds, we were talking on this call about the enterprise segment where the sales cycle is long. So it may take up to several quarters to get us to the same speed as we were in the past. At the same time, I would like to mention that when we are looking on the comps, It's mainly Q1 and Q2 where we have very challenging comps in enterprise segments. And then we don't have such a tough comps in the second half of the year. In other areas, of of the headwind which we have which are earned channels seo and and the manage channels we implemented already the new cdp which will help us fundamentally change the way how we are talking to our customers and i expect that the benefits will start coming very soon in seo it's it's a question on the timing because Google is under a lot of pressure from AI generated content. So we are doing plenty of changes. I believe that long-term Groupon is positioned very well because we are one of very few players who own user generated content because we have so many customers who are coming back to Groupon, providing feedback about local merchants, about the experiences. So the content which we are collecting, but not yet fully using it is very valuable. It will be very valuable content for AI future because all this is extremely relevant for AI generated answers on AI agents. But the timing is very hard to comment. Okay. Thank you so much.

You're welcome. We have a follow-up question from Bobby Brooks. Bobby, you can unmute your line.

Hey, thanks, team. So you guys have done a really good job of winning new customers, and that's been a trend over the last four quarters or so. And I understand that these new customers initially don't have the same purchase frequency as legacy ones. But what I was curious to hear on is those cohorts of new customers that you won, say, in the first half of 25, have you seen those purchase frequencies frequencies start to take up or you've kind of found a way through kind of managed marketing to to spur those purchase frequencies higher just curious to hear more on there yeah so uh

My goal during this year is to improve the way how we are talking and communicating about the customers, cohorts and purchase frequency to our shareholders. We were mentioning in the script that we will have investors conference and I believe that at that moment we will be able to present much more simple and easier to understand the model for Groupon marketplace, including the consumer segments. But going back to your questions, the purchase frequency is not related only to new and active customers and the structure of our portfolio, but it's also uh related to the category where the customer is buying so for example historically the goods were quite a big and important channel for groupon and the purchase frequency in this category is uh much higher versus purchase frequency in other categories and as the goods for example is still declining it's in a negative way let's say impacting our purchase frequency we internally see uh some cohorts of customers of loyal customers who where we see the improved performance we see in some segments improved conversion from first to second purchase and this is internally one of the top priority areas for us and with new cdp we are finally having the tools to really target small individual segments and deliver them the deals and offers which are highly relevant for them but more consistent and more detailed communication on numbers and structure. My goal is to bring it to you during this year.

Got it. And then kind of piggybacking on that, the CDP and the retargeting measures that you're taking, could you maybe give... provide a couple examples of what that might look like. And secondly, I think some might hear the commentary on this and think it's something that has kind of occurred as the headwinds popped up in the fourth quarter. But this is something that you guys have been working on for a couple quarters, right? It's not just a response to the drop-off in organic traffic in the fourth quarter, right?

No, the CDP is one of the foundational projects which we have in Groupon. And we were not really talking about it a lot. However, I see it as one of the most important projects because it allows us completely different level of flexibility. Groupon originally had the platform which was in-house developed. It was 10 plus years old. And if our team decided we want to Test some campaign, like for example, if you buy, I don't know, spa in your area, that we will send you a push notification two weeks, three weeks after offering you something relevant as an upsell, let's say. It took weeks to implement it to our engineering team and everything was done really very, very manually. With the new platform, it's all user interface. It's a drag and drop. We can decide what to do and we can be running like 10 plus different campaigns every week or new campaigns and new experiments. And we can go much more granular in really user stories, what's relevant and which situation, meaning based on how you behaved on the website. If you visited the deal several times and didn't decide to buy it, then we can provide some specific better offer for the customer. terms of cases. It will also help us improve our paid marketing channels because with new CDP, we know whether the consumer, for example, is reading our messaging. At that moment, we don't have a reason to spend money on a Google Meta and other paid channels to get that customer back. And we can really target our retargeting campaigns only to customers where we see the customer is not communicating through our channel. So it really opens a lot of opportunities for us. And definitely this is not a project, which is just a reflection of what's happening in Q4. And SEO, it's similar story that the area is highly dynamic because with Q4, such a high availability of AI generated content. There are many, many, many websites and projects which are just generating content and then trying to be presented on Google and visible on Google. Google obviously doesn't want it. So we are changing the rules and all other websites which have highly relevant content, including Groupon, we just need to react to new rules and change the behavior. And what's the very important for me that underlying trend that Google is putting more and more focus on the user generated content on the original content. That's why the Reddit is, for example, ranking very well in SEO. And that's why we are doubling down on our reviews, which were kind of hidden in the past on Groupon. But now we are producing user generated content for AI reviews, meaning like the AI summaries for reviews. We are generating FAQs and additional information, which is based on what our real customers told us about the merchants, which means this is the content which no one else has.

That's super helpful, Collin Duchon. Thank you. And maybe just the last one for me is on the kind of headwinds in the managing organic channels. It seems like it's more kind of macro driven like stuff. It's not like you were trying things and they didn't work. It's the, you know, SEO stuff. algorithms of changing. And then when you go to Google, instead of seeing two ads, you're seeing eight, right? Am I thinking about that more? Or was there something internally that you felt you could have done better with that piece?

Yeah, so I think we always can do our work better. And you can ask me about any area and I will have exactly the same answer everywhere. However, this is driven originally by the macro situation and the change in this landscape, which is happening for everyone. And I just consider Groupon to be lucky that we have an answer which fits into AI world with this user generated content.

Appreciate the call, Dushan. And I also want to say congrats on the Entrepreneur of the Year from EY.

That's awesome.

Thank you. We'll now pose written questions to management that came in through the company's investor relations press line. Analysts who are live on the call, we will continue to move back to you. Our first written question, you talked about setting a new baseline for agentic AI-first leadership across the company. Can you talk about what that means concretely for how your teams are working today and what kind of productivity gains are you seeing specifically in engineering?

Okay, so I am very closely following and having meetings with people who I consider AI frontiers in terms of what AI enables across the board. And I see major shift happening last few months where originally Most of us, including me, were using AI as a chatting tool, let's say. When I was discussing all my projects, I was asking for feedback. However, I see that this is changing fundamentally. And we right now are seeing much more use cases in the agentic-based approach, which is driven by cloud code and similar technologies. solutions. And I am personally very heavily involved in this. I have my own agentic setup, which is reading all my data, which is doing all the preparations for the meeting. When I'm new topic, it's like really deeply analyzing the market opportunities coming with solutions and all that using the all the data which we have available. So I think it's a complete mindset shift. And this is what we are trying to, or not trying, this is what we are doing right now and implementing in Groupon. I want to have all the team here to be AI first. In engineering, for example, my goal is that we have 100% of the code written by AI by the end of the year. I want to make Groupon a company where all our employees are managers because we will be managing AI agents or orchestrating them, deciding how and where we will improve. So it's a big change. I see that it can bring obviously higher efficiency, but it will allow us to do much more in the product, in engineering. in sales, provide completely new tools and interfaces to merchants. So I'm extremely excited about this. This is really the project number one for me right now in Groupon. And what we see when I take the best AI frontiers who are working in Groupon and look on their workflows, it's really completely different world. I think the world where people were specialists in some area is really over or maybe not over yet. realistically because it's still the case but people who are frontiers don't operate at this mode we are more like generalists and they they start with understanding the customer then definition of the product building the demo version of the product so that other people can look at it but they continue also with engineering so in the future I don't expect that we will have product team and then the engineering team I expect that we will have like builders and all people in the structure will be able to start from design and end with delivery of the product which would allow us to really 10x and maybe even more delivery of product features, improvements to our customers. And I see that with individuals. This is what right now we are implementing in a whole management team. We have very high expectation here because it's such a great pleasure to work with people who switched into this AI-first mode in terms of productivity, how great ideas they have, and that they don't have to do the, let's say, the boring part of the work.

Thank you, Dushan. We'll go back to Sean McGowan from Roth Capital. Sean, you can now unmute your line.

Thank you. A couple of follow-ups. Could you comment on what you're seeing, what trends you're seeing in the redemption rates? You know, you made that effort last year to kind of remind people when they had Groupons expiring and that had an effect on the redemption rate. What are you seeing currently year-on-year and what do you expect?

So I don't right now have the exact specific numbers in mind, but the overall trend in redemption was continuing in the same pace. So this is one of the numbers where the product teams are making sure that the deals have good redemption rate, that customers really get the experience we are trying to. not only to send these reminders which we were talking about, but now we are much more actively also asking for feedback so that we can improve the deals or even provide the feedback to merchants. So it's part of the core marketplace proposition. We don't see any significant changes there. It's just going in the right direction.

And Sean, this is Rana. Just to echo what Dushan said, we see trends very stable-ish. And so in terms of how it was impacting take rates in 2025, we expect the impact take rates from higher redemption rates to be very modest. It's mostly through our numbers now.

Okay. That's what I thought. Thank you. And then on marketing plans, I think you had talked last year about leaning in a bit more to marketing Groupon, you know, as a brand. So can you talk about your expectations for marketing spending as a percentage of revenue or as a percentage of whatever metric you want?

Sean, do you want to talk about the brand and I can talk about the numbers?

You can start with numbers and then I can follow up with brands.

Yeah, so in terms of numbers, Sean, we have, we are, our expectations is that marketing will grow year over year, call it in high single digit range. So we are expecting marketing to, we do want to support the business with marketing spend. And we are expecting that marketing will spend growth will be a little faster than revenue growth. However, this, the relationship between our marketing spend growth and our revenue growth that relationship will improve versus what we had in 25. Our focus here over time is to grow contribution profit dollars. And this year we expected to make progress against that. So in terms of your model, I would expect that marketing will grow high single digits year over year.

Okay, thank you.

And I would follow up in terms of our brand campaign, which we started in the second half of Q4 last year. The main motto was Turn Your Life On, which is highly relevant to the mission, which we have as a Groupon to pretty much get people offline. And we see some really interesting results. which are different based on the location when we were running the campaign, because we were making sure that we will be able to collect the data on the geo levels. So we still run the campaign, not in huge numbers, but we are still running the brand campaign in Q1, and I expect that we will continue. But we are processing and improving our density commercial model to understand the behavior of customers in individual locations. Because in some cities, we saw some incredible response on the brand campaign versus in some cities, we got pretty much what is a baseline on the baseline expectation of the marketing campaign on the market. So we want to double down and understand better where and how to spend the brand marketing dollars or where and what is the driver of that behavior so that we can replicate the offers better an inventory which we have in cities where the response to the Groupon brand campaign was super positive.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you, Sean. Another written question that came in. Can you talk about the new mobile app migration? You're now at 50% of iOS in North America for users on the new platform with stronger monetization. What should we expect as you complete that rollout?

So right now, the migration and a new platform takes a lot of resources within the product and engineering team. And as we are very close to finalizing this migration, all that capacity will be focused on improved user experience, focused on improving purchase frequency for our customers. And this will be delivered through new functionality. We were talking here on this call that we have the bets around search and relevance about personalization. The team is really digging deep into behavior of customers, splitting the customers into multiple groups based on how they behave in the app and on the website. And we will be building the features which will be specifically targeting these customer groups so that we provide better offers, better, easier interface. So I am really looking forward to this phase. Some demos and prototypes which I saw are really incredible. And I believe that it will improve significantly customer experience. And this will be one of the drivers for improved purchase frequency for us.

All right. Another written question that came in. You've made a number of leadership additions recently, including a new chief people officer and an SVP of operations and consumer AI. Any commentary on the additions and how are you thinking about the team and talent you need for the next phase of growth?

So when I joined the Groupon, one of our main problems and issues which we had, excluding the internal financial situation, was that we were not able to attract new talent. And I'm very happy right now to state that I see that we are able to hire, that we are able to attract really talented people from great companies. I see that we are... really raising the bar, not only within the management team, but overall within the Groupon organization on what's expected. And I was talking about the AI expectations a few minutes ago, but this is across the board. And this is thanks to the new joiners who are really challenging us, like asking us to try different ways, move faster, move with higher quality at the same time. So Overall, I see great progress and I really see Groupon in a very different situation versus just a few years ago, even just 12 months ago.

Thank you, Dushan. There are no other questions. This concludes our call for today. Thank you, everyone, for joining. For additional information, please go to investor.groupon.com.
