I to was going might first say complimented anybody. I've be the it time

James Heppelmann

And I might that. second

C. Stephen Tusa

the just going question I think back on costs. to

last I to quarter's nonoperating operating think of -- said presentation, up kind that in X would X. you non-GAAP be

that. saying something like X I think now you're X to or

question to. like something Xx I think prior referring that's Maybe the what or that. was that's

that question. I the think that probably of was source

well on that. Just as curious

Kristian Talvitie

FX related. be Yes, would that

C. Stephen Tusa

Yes.

on Okay. sense. ARR free ARR cash, then this quarter your you leverage down That to beat little. just makes kind by And of a

Is too in invest to cash to to will beat. should was with of your have drop-through math? XX% You XX% way keep a guys anything raised you'll by a it's like so ARR, upside drop bit But I million. like a Or much? probably like -- that away, cash that there $X some said, to that where get of little there invest you some hard kind of on an eye on that, we anything you ARR you that just that through math know It that that upside beat I get am ARR, extra is guidance. on you ultimately? thinking if

Kristian Talvitie

Really, question. a great no, no. That's

And so and let's with we'll ARR that to equates need you and just flow it cash flow to the -- invoicing to right payments. is the thing then call cash remember collections ARR I think relates -- and

and let's on the And longer which average so any incremental definitely days. work ARR than depending terms just But our days, are terms with that customer, XX XX standard days, are our XX means that quarter's the That isn't impacting subsequent quarter. all in month therefore that cash quarter, actually quarter's collections of a comes last flows. goes to cash that the that and we quarter the get in

have to So Steve? that sense, when that it. lag remember make just thinking Does you time you're about

C. Stephen Tusa

makes Last Yes. sense. ton will cash. quarter, of for the you the Yes, a one said on come you of half. year XX% first last One in

would, it a Again, going it's us quarter, anything XX%, all going I more now loaded. little timing there out? make year when little front-end there? perspective more But anything about on from guess, stands I feel a it's better on loaded. guess, this front-end that -- I a think we the so mean feel, I

Kristian Talvitie

more Yes, better it, than front-end is loaded, going it's when more super said, think Steve. And be I we I too, about what if feel we're to XX%. technical

in to we're in think But on well. be and as more honing is performance like of solid QX and Now great I just outlook we for going had here collections saying otherwise, it's XX%. map the the QX kind
