We'll continue to feel it, as we've said, probably throughout the course of this year, but we expect it to start to temper and control an awful lot better. That's work ongoing, but sure, we'll feel it. We'll continue to feel it, as we've said, probably throughout the course of this year, but we expect it to start to temper as we move into 2020 and control an awful lot better. That's work ongoing, but sure, we'll feel it.
51:45 We'll continue to feel it, as we've said, probably throughout the course of this year, but we expect it to start to temper as we move into 2020. That's work ongoing, but sure, we'll feel it. We'll continue to feel it, as we've said, probably throughout the course of this year, but we expect it to start to temper and as we move into 2020. And I think that the opportunities, that's work ongoing, but sure, we'll feel it. We'll continue to feel it, as we've said, probably throughout the course of this year, but we expect it to start to temper as we move into 2020. And I think that the opportunities probably throughout the course of this year, but we expect it to start to temper as we move into 2020. And I think that the opportunities for us to accelerate that. And the one thing I would just add on to probably throughout the course of this year, but we expect it to start to temper as we move into 2020. And, you know, I think that the opportunities for us to accelerate that.

And the one thing I would just add on to... Expect it to start to temper and... as we move into 2020, and I think the opportunities for us to accelerate that. And the one thing I would just add on to that is when we talk about our commentary for $270 million, and I think the opportunities for us to accelerate that.
53:47 One thing I would just add on to that is when we talk about our commentary for $270 million of Ajustity Bada this year, and $300 million or more for 2020, that contemplates Those headwinds, you know, we're not assuming necessarily they go away. We don't, as Rich said, we don't accept them, but we do in terms of $300 million or more for 2020, that contemplates those headwinds. You know, we're not assuming necessarily they go away.

As Rich said, we don't accept them, but we do in terms of our forward first I'd just, on international versus North America, you know, first I'd just highlight
1:02:59 in international, on an FX-neutral basis, local still grew by 6%. So we, you know, while we certainly would have liked even with that, but we saw on the international side is obviously a slower customer trajectory than we would have hoped, particularly in the UK, as I highlighted earlier. The national side is obviously a slower customer trajectory than we would have hoped, particularly in the UK, as I highlighted earlier. If you excluded the UK, the rest of the national side is obviously a slower customer trajectory than we would have hoped, particularly in the UK, as I highlighted earlier. If you excluded the UK, the rest of the national side is obviously a slower customer trajectory than we would have hoped, particularly in the UK, as I highlighted earlier.

If you excluded the UK, the rest of it is obviously a slower customer trajectory than we would have hoped, particularly in the UK, as I highlighted earlier. If you excluded the UK, the rest of international actually grew. It is obviously a slower customer trajectory than we would have hoped, particularly in the UK, as I highlighted earlier. If you excluded the UK, the rest of international actually grew. It is obviously a slower customer trajectory than we would have hoped, particularly in the UK, as I highlighted earlier.
1:05:05 If you excluded the UK, the rest of international actually grew. is obviously a slower customer trajectory than we would have hoped, particularly in the U.K. As I highlighted earlier, if you excluded the U.K., the rest of international the face of a softer, and what we saw was is,
1:10:31 in the face of a softer consumer, We chose to lean into that with pricing and promotion, and the promotion. And the result was obviously lower gross profit, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to promotion. And the result was obviously lower gross profit, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to promotion. And the result was obviously lower gross profit, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to promotion.
1:11:19 And the result was obviously lower gross profit, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to promotion. and the result was obviously lower gross profit, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to, was obviously lower gross profit, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to last year. And with regard to North America, was obviously lower gross profit, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to last year.
1:12:04 And with regard to North America, it was obviously lower gross profit but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to last year. And with regard to North America, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to last year. And with regard to North America, We have the benefit right now, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to last year. And with regard to North America, we have the benefit right now, but we maintained the units that we would have had similar to last year.
1:12:51 And with regard to North America, we have the benefit right now, but we maintained the and a number of others. that we would have had similar to last year. With regard to North America, we have the benefit right now that we would have had similar to last year.
1:13:36 With regard to North America, we have the benefit right now of having 30 million customers and what we saw in North America last year. With regard to North America, we have the benefit right now of having 30 million customers and What we saw in North America is that they responded well to the continued offerings we have. and we have the benefit right now of having 30 million customers and what we saw in North America is that they responded well to the continued offerings we have and our continued improvements in supply and our ability to surface what's relevant to them in a way that maximizes gross profit for us. So, you know, kind of what I was touching on earlier is that we continue to see our customers shift to ability to surface what's relevant to them in a way that maximizes gross profit for us.
1:15:04 So, you know, kind of what I was touching on earlier is that we continue to see Our customers shift to ability to surface what's relevant to them in a way that maximizes gross profit for us. So kind of what I was touching on earlier is that we continue to see our customers shift to ability to surface what's relevant to them in a way that maximizes gross profit for us. So kind of what I was touching on earlier is that we continue to see Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. is that we continue to see our customers shift to higher AOV, higher margin categories, and that was the source of the benefit.
1:16:12 Kind of what I was touching on earlier is that we continue to see our customers shift to higher AOV, higher margin categories, and that was the source of the benefit. Kind of what I was touching on earlier is that we continue to see our customers shift to higher AOV, higher margin Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

And we've discussed that a bit in the past as we've talked about our mobile transition. I think the important thing to remember there now is we're far beyond mobile most. I mean, we're, you know, call it. We have, you know, around 30 million active customers in the U.S. So it's just so much bigger. So in terms of pure reach, It's not hard to have around 30 million active customers in the U.S. It's so much bigger. In terms of pure reach, it's not hard to have around 30 million active customers in the U.S. It's so much bigger.
1:22:14 In terms of pure reach, it's not hard to have around 30 million active customers in the U.S. It's so much bigger. In terms of pure reach, it's not hard to a million active customers in the U.S. It's so much bigger. In terms of pure reach, it's not hard to imagine a world where distribution will million active customers in the U.S. It's so much bigger. In terms of Thank you very much. It's not hard to imagine a world where distribution will million active customers in the U.S. So it's just so much bigger.
1:23:25 So in terms of pure reach, it's not hard to imagine a world where distribution will million active customers in the U.S. So it's just so much bigger. So in terms of pure reach, It's not hard to imagine a world where distribution will million active customers in the U.S. So it's so much bigger. So in terms of pure reach, it's not hard to imagine a world where distribution will bigger. So in terms of pure reach, It's not hard to imagine a world where distribution for us could reach far more customers or far more households than pure reach.
1:24:12 It's not hard to imagine a world where distribution for us could reach far more customers or far more households than we do on a standalone basis. Pure reach It's not hard to imagine a world where distribution for us could reach far more customers or far more households than we do on a standalone basis. Pure reach. It's not hard to imagine a world where distribution for us could reach far more customers or far more households than we do on a standalone basis. Obviously, the economics of that are different, but it's not hard to see how
1:28:37 over the course of a relatively short period of time, and we do on a standalone basis, obviously, the economics of that are different, but it's not hard to see how over the course of a relatively short period of time, over the course of a couple years, Where did we do on a standalone basis? Obviously, the economics of that are different, but it's not hard to see how over the course of a relatively short period of time, over the course of a couple years, where did we do on a standalone basis?

And then maybe just a question on bookable. So you noted in the shareholder letter that you're seeing in some countries the majority of your food and drink offers being bookable. I was wondering if you could share what countries those are.

1:39:03 strong and we're strong in every market area.
1:39:24 that we operate in, and then you should see us move it into places like things to do and home services and auto services. But we plan to, you know, this is a space where if it's not card linked, it's going to be bookable. So you should be thinking about our entire inventory linked, it's going to be bookable. So you should be thinking about our entire inventory, but phasing more in that way.

And then one for Mike, it seems like the efficiency gains on SG&A, maybe in North America, is starting to tail off a little bit. How much of efficiency gains do we need to see from SG&A to kind of achieve the 300 million EBITDA for next year? Thanks so much.
