Q & A Highlights

Q: On free cash flow conversion, what is the steady state free cash flow conversion you have in mind over time? A: Timothy Murphy, CFO: We feel good about our 60% target for this year and expect mid- to high-teens growth thereafter. This is driven by adjusted EBITDA growth outpacing revenue and a reduction in CapEx. We aim for CapEx to be 10% to 12% of revenue long-term, supporting sustained free cash flow growth.
