| And so we see that this is a great opportunity for us |
| And then we have an approach right now, I can't give you any numbers, but we believe overtime this is going to enhance our revenues, the ability to have higher retention rates, sticky -- more stickiness in our products, hopefully some pricing power and then some productivity especially when it comes to things like generating code, generating language et cetera |
| We're really excited about the opportunities |
| And we're really, really pleased that we were able to be the owner of this |
| And these two together have a really strong platform |
| This is a business that has a really strong position in benchmarks |
| So we think that the shareholders want to see great leadership |
| And we believe that with Kensho as part of S&P Global, that this gives us a base that we start from a very strong position |
| We're very pleased |
| It gives us a way to have a strong market network |
| He's able to track and build a very strong bench in the finance team across the organization |
| And we have really strong relationships with all 12 of those banks, which means that we'll continue those relationships |
| And over the years, we've been quite successful with many of these |
| It's a strong business |
| So Visible Alpha is a fantastic franchise |
| it energizes the organization and there's a lot that we're excited about |
| When I look towards the financial markets for a new CFO, whether it's internally or externally in addition to having somebody that's an expert in the finance function, I'm also looking for somebody who brings that really strong leadership, the ability to attract great talent, the ability to have strong relationships and communicate well with the people in this room and with the analysts |
| We put those together and we now have an unparalleled -- there's nobody else in the market that has a commodities desktop like we do with everything from analytics from benchmarks from pricing to forecasting to news |
| But at the same time, Ewout was a great talent leader |
| Now the reason I gave you such a long answer is that, we believe that AI to be successful especially Generative AI, you have to have data which is clean, it's linked that you can tokenize so that models can ingest it, to use it for the large language models |
| And even if we have financial performance that's a little bit weaker than we'd like, we're better off being well positioned as we come out of the cycle so that we don't have to scramble again and rehire really talented people |
| They've got a great service economy, software economy et cetera |
| It's going to deliver the margin expansion |
| And now what's exciting is taking this revenue synergies getting everybody to focus on revenue on growth, tie up some of the loose ends on some of the operational aspects of the deal, but keep everybody focused on what do we bring together that makes S&P Global stronger with IHS Markit as part of it |
| And so, we have an approach to making sure we have strong cash conversion |
| We're able to continue to move along really well despite him leaving |
| They said, oh, this is amazing |
| It's about leadership position in your market, which means that you're in the top one or two, three |
| We're moving very fast |
| Our hypothesis was that we weren't going to be replaced, but we would be enhanced that what we did would be able to be automated, we'd be able to move faster, you can get more information synthesized, you could get better visualization tools et cetera through AI |

| We said, this is a really -- it's unfortunate that we don't have that capability |
| So we lose all of that |
| Right at the time we got that it was right before COVID, the Chinese markets got quite slow |
| We've had to in the past, stopped slowed down investment, rolled back some of our compensation programs, stopped some hiring, stopped traveling |
| And it does have a part within the Enterprise Solutions, which does have a little bit of volatility that we saw the last year |
| It's not a promise |
| I know this doesn't sound very glamorous |
| When our people are starting to see warning flags they're seeing warning flags about economic growth, or about interest rates, about inflation, I could say, oh, well, I'm not going to pay attention to it |
| And finally our brand really matters |
| Data had to be clean |
| Obviously, there's volatility in the index business based on the AUM fees |
