Marc Thompson

Nothing's Thanks Samad. really Yes. there. changed

that the of In think free metrics highlights for first I investor together I adjusted two think deck the flow cash that that. the breaks time. cash unlevered really fact, flow put we out the And kind

I you talked we've with that when previously. math line on you'll in think the conversion do that about see what

there don't and going So really that no expect forward. change

Hub PT earn-out? My did their is one achieve number question my So

Eric Remer

I'm sorry. I'm Yeah. sorry.

Pat Walravens

What was that? going with on

Eric Remer

the to Pat. their meet hit earn-out objectives didn't They

Marc Thompson

business which that the to The didn't in goals. the were perform stretched expectations earn-out

think probably way that's think to I So it. right the about

Eric Remer

add earn-outs was and that, of three most one in think, we've deals them to just recent and we mean, the Pat XX general. some had I to do And misalignment I it just that done, rarely creates we've

are And it's the vast pretty of there a there's pay of and to And earn-out majority hefty so gap the going on basis. bridge cover. if bridge dollars the a upfront be to expected kind to an any usually is

kind really So but not of to them, out them pay And something... we get when we're happy it's they them put play. in

Pat Walravens

my thinking next question. of I was

right? not big a this of the mechanism, is So part

Marc Thompson

We like lack really alignment. of operational not candidly all. at just No the

operate it's in to that put on, them. really that solutions start When we I day try we to bring from place. and So we critical avoid plan to really them onboard one these the

So if at it earn-out will does structure we that have parts operational create certain disincentives of sort an of motion. if you

So take diligence really would the close. in prefer during plan to operating to we have we put aligned of everybody place, day up one that and

Pat Walravens

where key are All any you sort sheet would right things? now investors? follow-up you there And then, right, great. you can for you, balance look of there sort are And at of points optimize make just places for Marc any quick a as the

Marc Thompson

of We're first balance the feel sheet the a a question operating financial working capital I standpoint, policy, about within structure right continue you create I strong. mean, my we business It's of revenue. From that. all, know, as like great from mentioned mean, to set. mostly is quite This we've good out monthly Pat. a I mean, we cap opening a remarks, set is standpoint, deferred feel in I don't cash lot generate the
