| Statement |

| I think as we've talked about, the programmatic and the podcasting has done very well over the last couple of years, and we'll continue to do well this year |
| We have a very strong core market of subscribers, which is the older over 45 |
| So on the conversion side, on the top part in vehicle, the 360L engine, we are currently using on the vehicle side, and that's actually improving conversion |
| We have unique content that we're very proud of |
| Our recommendation engine is doing very well |
| As we look at and we're working through our first quarter, we are starting to see some positive indicators in the ad market |
| Bryan Kraft I guess to start off and Sirius XM is in the middle of a transition as management works to bring the company back to a positive self-pay subscriber growth trajectory and also to positive revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow growth |
| So we have better metrics there |
| So our content continues to evolve and we're excited as we look to grow our subscriber base with expanded content |
| So I think there's a great opportunity there |
| And then in addition to that, we are rolling out a new commerce and identity system, which has done very well, which is really the profile of our subscriber and allowing for better marketing |
| And I think as you look at it, you'll see a lot of great benefits |
| And so we see that as something positive |
| We're happy with where we are |
| So I'm excited from a financial standpoint of being able to reach out and being able to see like what the real numbers correlate with |
| So I think from a marketing standpoint and being able to increase the ability to do discovery and search, allowing people to have more personalization of what they really would like on their radio, I think it opens opportunity, and I think it opens an opportunity |
| So that's positively impacting the numbers |
| We're going to know because we have data in that, which I think is a significant benefit |
| So we're excited about that |
| But we do see it as another part of technological advancement and the benefit that we're going to see as we get our content out to more of the available listeners |
| As you talked about in 2023, 2024 and '25, we're rebuilding our tech platform and rebuilding this, we're doing everything from expanding the user interface and making that much more expeditious, but also helping on our recommendation engines and allowing increased personalization and discovery, which we think is critical as our unique content is better explored and better detected for our subscribers that creates more stickiness and more engagement |
| We believe our unique content to better able to reach the content, the better off and only create a larger level of engagement for our subscribers |
| But we believe in the second half of 2025, we'll be in a good position to pursue or consider the options of being back in the buyback market |
| The profile will be easier for people to utilize and I think our overall relationship will be better as far as dealing with pricing |
| But I would say, overall, I think our churn is still at record lows and is in a very good range for us |
| And there's also other advantages in 360L |
| But as we look at the 360L, it has had positive impact on conversion |
| We are basically revisiting the whole structure of the business, and we're making it faster and being able to deliver with what is the future business |
| Encouraging |
| As we see 360L growing and improving, it will end up, we think advancing and moving us forward on the conversion side |
| Statement |

| It's been a headwind to growth for several quarters |
| And so we've had some level of headwind |
| Can you talk about what you're seeing in auto trial conversion rates both on the new car side and the used car side? I think it's come down a bit |
| We do have headwind as far as the when you look at the mix of vehicles being sold in the lower trend line |
| And now you look at what's happening and radios getting really hit because of the lack of measurement, right, the ad recession, if you want to call it that or slowdown is hit |
| Bryan Kraft You mentioned a minute ago that churn has been extremely low |
| I mean when you look at that, we have had headwind for an extended period of time |
| The headwind generally impacts the direct in the satellite business |
| I would say as vehicle-related SAR continues to the level it is with vehicle-related churn, we could see it tick up a little here in 2024 |
| And then you have vehicle-related churn |
| What is the variable that's hard to manage is the vehicle-related churn |
