| So I think which is an opportunity to kind of make us better and drive growth for the WWE |
| And we also see at these kind of small level, the ability for the business to get stronger because of the games on our service in terms of like folks are engaging with games, they retain better incrementally to if they are not engaging with games regularly on the service |
| And if we do that's adding more -- obviously, more and more value to the subscription bundle, which has been good for our business |
| It's -- we're very good at optimizing as we go across all aspects of our business, and this is another one where we view it as, again, it starts with delivering more and more value to our members |
| Obviously, it was one of the drivers of our strong growth in Q4, but there was also very healthy, we call kind of organic growth in the business as well |
| It's been a nice success for us |
| And this business is so much about working with the best creative, the best people internally and externally, having great process and we're really excited to have him be part of the team and take us to the next level |
| Another in the radical transparency theme of asking you how you think you've done so far in the advertising? Spencer Neumann So in ads, it's -- we're again, I'd say we're pleased with the progress we got a long way to go |
| We're pretty well penetrated and we have good retention |
| Basically, every category has opportunity to grow and get better |
| And if we think we do that well and keep getting better and improving our service faster than the competition, we've got a really long runway for growth, revenue, profit and cash flow over time |
| So you report these shows in your letter, I never heard of any of the shows and you're delivering such strong results |
| So that it bodes well for what can be over time as we keep building the business |
| We want to deliver healthy revenue growth, if we do that well, we believe we can continue to increase our margins every year |
| It's not perfect, but pretty good given the nature of the business and one that because of that content model, we think we can drive operating leverage in basically every aspect of our business |
| So really nice sequential growth |
| And I think we're trying to demonstrate that every quarter, every year we've gotten in this place where we're at a nice scale in terms of revenue, profit and free cash flow |
| And we're highly confident that we're on a nice path to get to a meaningful scale in all the markets in which we operate around the world |
| So we're really pleased in the first two years, I think we put 90 games on service, we tripled our engagement, our members engaging with games last year |
| If we're executing well, we have a pretty good forward visibility |
| So we're super excited about it |
| Well, generally, I feel really good about the film business |
| We had a nice success with Leo last quarter, and we've got new partnership as you know as well Skydance |
| And then once we do that, we now have a better opportunity to monetize that value and get paid for all that viewing we're generating |
| We'll continue to be kind of we think, prudent stewards of capital will probably also be underlevered intentionally because we think the biggest opportunity we have to deliver increasing value to shareholders is through the growth of the organic -- the growth of the business and growing profits, growing cash flow |
| We've been doing it through a number of levers, including improving the feature set working with our partners and distribution partners and just making it more generally known that we even offer an ads tier , right? And then the second piece is improving the monetization and the capabilities around advertising, so building out the ad salesforce, building out some of our tech stack capabilities in parallel with Microsoft as a partner and bringing kind of more value to our advertisers and brands |
| I'm super excited for three body problems |
| So the combination of those two things creates a pretty good level of visibility for a business, so you get to kind of the point about kind of increasing margin guidance before we started the year |
| When we do that, then we have the ability to drive that growth across all those levers |
| And we define excess cash as right now we carry about two months of revenue on the balance sheet, so roughly $6 billion, we're a little higher right now, which is why we have been stepping up our share repurchase and that philosophy has served us well over the last handful of years |

| We just had Netflix Slam, which was kind of we think an vulnerable event for us this last weekend |
| So hopefully, you see from our kind of revenue growth guidance and our margin guidance that we're committed to grow expenses slower than revenue |
| But arguably, you're potentially underlevered at least some may argue that I might argue that |
| I don't think there's any bright line |
| So it's tougher and tougher to tease out |
| So that has an impact |
| I mean it's -- in terms of returns, we talked about just before here it's very difficult to ascribe a specific ROI on a specific genre content or title content in our subscription bundle |
| It is not unusual in the business |
