[Operator Thank you. Instructions].

question Davidson. D.A. Jaluria with Our will first from Rishi come

Rishi Jaluria

of and my I are the then bookings And you in going of financial guys, changes thinking forward that and be that made the predict appreciate customers being for have obviously, for - Can new driving color a in thanks incentives you a interest but sort there - of question. expand future, your organizationally the cloud Hey I remarks follow of towards I Ken, taking combination expectation. a business about should that is new how what hard and cloud cloud ahead to then little rest increased a incentive. it's need on bit metric are to financial any on demand a prepared that mean of significantly mentioned be And the may it's demand? percentage that of year? up. or we as terms meet the to be business,

Kenneth Stillwell

of different went in the the we year, to this rights when annual we incentives versus licenses. glad first contract cloud clarify. had entire for Yeah. types other year, for value. to say And customers, changed we structure about ACV, flipped I'm commission financial historically, company to our we When to I

it don't as cloud. sales we're And running If it sell up revenue license end they a selling the they more basically just on of if recurring financial as and ran actually additional incentive. as for a without treating cloud, it the term is they Now the get the gives if a is - on cloud. it would that everything if if comp people little they get

of they an customers So, what that, Having that said are additional is and drives, interested lot have incentive. it what I buy. is people a ultimately that think

Rishi Jaluria

helpful. it. Got That's

Kenneth Stillwell

Does that help?

Rishi Jaluria

Yeah. does. absolutely That

that on based about we how is going existing where should directionally from your So, thinking pipeline be today? here

Kenneth Stillwell

me let that. So, make on points two

talk recurring I - second. about want we can then there to versus non-recurring So, and talk cloud about

was of first and of mean you versus you a years, year, of that the half if million. first And go year a this in year. I I look the bookings we revenue believe had we have perpetual amount into So, of first thing $XX half is, number each the at the timeframe $XXX back look fairly XXXX revenue of for handful back the if if perpetual approaching reasonable million you

So, to recurring point like significant seeing we buy shift the first are that a interested in customers They are recurring. models. pretty is,

we teams. our that structure strategy is aligned field and have that And our compensation our completely with so, with

is, cloud. point second The

cloud. We giving continue the will flexibility the the they continue. with that of they cloud an that at that to said, look future. want or important that, customers when the adoption an flexibility choice. moving And market have also decide can you predict but embrace the in inside their are cloud We is to want changed customers manage opportunity believe We it private at in can't believe in in rate. That dealing option normally of seeing are if they tends we their accelerated have if they our our whether cloud future, in there we clouds Pega needs whether direction, that customers in and

is so, a we're that hoping this trend that continues. that And

Rishi Jaluria

jump question you last on the I associated But to just make I it. Ken, Thanks. sure fully And just cloud headwind, I'll mentioned it. want Got understand off. and Okay.

a new commitments leads just increase So, if is $X that stated that of as of together, that million putting kind each for metric headwind? cloud X% a And a year in changes. XX% percentage that when guided basis fair would no the XX% that full be initially relative on $XX you top-line that Is assuming million year to headwind statement? to a full the a roughly

Kenneth Stillwell

Yeah.

So, that is The reason because naturally a not three why is depends year a sure in calculation. when cloud the fair the booked and is I'm science on deal it that that. you realize

factor could impact a the but stayed to if that's could you our kind So, consider, that XX%, there at be revenue. cloud - see to of

Now naturally if of you would very for year see happened course. being ACV stellar growth the that

Rishi Jaluria

That's Okay. All helpful. again. Thanks, Got right. it. Alan

Alan Trefler

Yes.

Kenneth Stillwell

Rishi. Thanks

what's business. year. steal kudos in I wanted the modeling of often my on question reflect robustness But numbers know the guess I are going to my is, second improve half headline accurately of for the your the really the so, word, And that. don't on - I

license, sort quarterly breakdown helpful license term for us seasonality should we year. to you XXX help on maybe of was for last how for think about the improve that year? perpetual can of basis it re-cash and I how the mean very half see So, back a the

the what So, just year should renewals land X term digit super to I X half watch of anything got the mines guess or it's in or asking careful in the digit out modeling Thanks. whether I'm be land we are we potentially of? for back mines, the

Kenneth Stillwell

Okay.

Investor a of as that at maybe reiterate So, to something I bit little Day. I'll kind about this use talked

new activity larger, always a is has QX been always business So, larger quarter. a

So, you that. know

the if QX. there look don't be we and QX now and tend to the variance level different. QX a saw sometimes, in is about So, QXs just business naturally that cloud and keep QX that kind in QX the our that of mind. kind see is in sometimes there same space, and stronger dramatically But activity you of activity business we than of you see percentage that QXs saw

that and to cycle point or just it's make the or the frankly are in last until or we customers that say to think of right question have for will decision. we're card for model the XX XX, of part that to around just model I - challenging quite XX they sales the up a is it's percentage because decisions cloud choice us because be is the their able you not not XX and wild where in

I In you, a mentioned. not XXXX terms factor that because of is scheduled. large unusually renewal that on is sneak large up renewals which another that year - you as

amount we have renewals, typical a we say in XXXX made XXXX where pretty in have might of we half isn't whereas in of bit unusual. have deals would our that renewal will little a a large year I of term large of is But year could disproportionate that and renewals. XXXX much very a business course. into this terms on of revenue depend the that year Now, back a translate the that activity amount

bit about your So, at question, I'm I it's kind but now. trying help answer know connect a we little how what will investor day and don't much to talked that of

revenue. the that's is the how And about percentage I to biggest show cloud important talk wild ACV, can think the card that think you percentage the cloud I it's for you why give much change and us renew, is of might of of directional cloud I'll a to the much based give be that variance shift. can that mix when revenue continue on information you impact as so aX% And sense make what revenue kind of to that there of percentage.
