Steve Koenig

wasn't but me it sure Sterling that here. I didn't opened when was I was we or ask appreciate if up, lying the that question

ask think about IoT. I I'll

and eight reason can the commented in Maybe remind deal of good just that revenue the prepared on on -- year some color or any deal should XX% to we expecting accelerate us. clearly. and can this you remarks deal sense nature that timing remind think that developments the growth cadence the there. mega we was to rate I that bigger revenue the quarter shouldn't about mask Any time. when any ago, So that about IoT, of subscription lot to to And picture software at a in about XX% you us of believe a you growth on market get figure

for year-over-year increase subscription for plan mix, for to the to the go that now XX% getting seeing where are XX%. total to example a we’re in year full from the it expecting still we're last we year So the business

that So in the enough too, overall is revenue then And don't have a headwind just you base. growth. years

the see dynamic for the business. total So you it's actually that same

it's and what greater those modest subscription. right There's business a and we going hedge be. numbers So of to tailwind, are our now certainty

we start increasing hedge. the we can the of So business percentage

to them. results, more. make foreign So to on to would going typically to money have a remember perspective, Purpose not currency a quarters to we you a because lot four FX that is to to in react our means have overall three have impact to material can rates, to simply off try time hedge It of a move of within give not is material changes impact. hedging

currencies hedge. in our that years, top we're changes react give results that line increasing We've doing number so time to for of of us to to the trying period stability rates. we the two material basically and And any in bottom build FX been now

impact. And of so less tends have to FX a

you at look of the January look of substantially year ago, course in when about bookings, at if year. last dollar Now, moved you
