Chatterjee of question JPMorgan. from Samik is Our next

mid-teens. FX guess today, digit. questions. the of can low And taking in I David's Hi, up where on more services. thanks out double about maybe The there for here if the more was stand, even impact sort past, growth on rate back about is rates follow question pre-pandemic growth you I I my

So this rollout more that point the a levels. please. seems monetization do your on a see have you installed to as from back the need more those are returning that even these you to get to cyclical base level have get growth on at get or do want are from to follow thoughts to to one of I that that and often is growth we up, growth accelerated, the and have of investors depressing questions drivers

seeing mentioned, as digital the are macroenvironment, areas the advertising. that where I the impact Samik, we is on

usage due continue rates. elevated macroenvironment where see years. a due the As we partly partly on of know, to we gaming, of macroenvironment, very very the to that bit those healthy And you a obviously COVID outside to not we've areas, front. helping is during slowdown, had fact growth that mobile seen the the But

Okay. and But products can not your in a sort point. is don't pretty you're what macro of I follow obviously your or terms but at Tim question. of you implying helpful guide Luca, up for the momentum sort just is this of maybe And more if take I remains stable. is this of know if want macro to this,

business. of And versus uptick products the to of sort terms of to we continue here patterns? actually are spending you of You're mean, just guiding what sort spending customer doing trends? what function momentum where about are independent for overall seeing of the your a sort that? think And share in sort your overall, deteriorate in FX consumer does of of of a modest is How gains? consumer should is terms I the

great is is Samik that having and monetize emerging share low, tend places because of our to in install great improves about. on Apple where obviously new grow add the time. is as people that low, to imagine growth with a services talking of share it base, the opportunity over those in where the lot markets, gives It are ability increases we to term, of longer helps our you That are Tim a over what our momentum can Part the And us was market to the markets well. us installed ecosystem. also base. We're switchers

Daryanani from Our Amit Evercore. next is of question

quarter. that first going well, seem guess, margins sequential holding fact the basis. off I the well. are a on given on fairly for down sales June as up to to They have especially gross I be

can the of if So, strength entail? What it's Luca, also basis is of And gross does driving XXX. typically I margin the may. touch offsetting your just that mean? if XX that leverage, you wondering what's the noticed guide on then I'm points, you range in margin sequentially. It's gross lack What that does

this very I having level guiding right. margins fairly gross happy you're So we're a of to we the cycle. level. with stable We're are at mean high very that gross margins a

flat foreign at to sequential For factor. in time Unfortunately, basis be we level. foreign the revenue be expect quarters, we still on at headwind several but margin a gross exchange, at the exchange exchange sequentially, the foreign expect a level, margin level, gross first a it's not to

we seasonal loss that the you're to, offset so by of And expect be referring cost savings. to leverage

And level us margins. should give that that of so

you know, points. basis asking about the XX you As were

this XX before of in to we're in quarter, points because of the late right. guided range have the during We well, year bit as calendar a week particular, December basis the XXth a year,

bit June around And the so quarter. we for visibility more margins have a

what Got seen discussion it. versus back in you're you just have, I a then maybe go or helpful. decade ramp guess, That's the what a contrast reasonable so India think lessons you China Tim, perhaps just seeing bit, India to to I India a if in ago. could be saw from it would or could at in that the different Is China? you've today And

people to buy hopeful own see works iPhone convince that the India has too is country much. is class, now, how middle right an journey, hesitate what do can lot in entering well. and so I see to of working I'm that some out. them a compare number I we think their different each But and it's of we'll and I But out

Krish of TD Our Sankar from next Cowen. question is
