Ranjan, on your question around cash and buyback. Let me just also clarify that on the net cash liquidity, when you look at that number, it does include deposits, the bank deposits. And in our prepared remarks and also in our earnings, we had over $1 billion of deposits that we generated from the two banks. But also remember that also excludes loans, and we have restricted cash also as part of that. So just take into the mix, when you look at our net cash liquidity, we did generate free cash flow in the business in the third quarter. Also at the same time, we generated about $138 million with just the free cash flow in the business and roughly $76 million if you look at it from a trailing 12 months. So it's working, what we're doing from a capital – from a cash-generation business. As you remember, we've always had a three-pronged strategy when it comes to our bottom line, which is one driving adjusted EBITDA, check; second, positive free cash flow check. And also we – from a net income perspective, also in this beginning journey of getting there. Now how did that translate to buyback to your other part of the question? Maybe the way to answer that is just to refresh the capital allocation framework because that's how I think about it. And what's that? It's really a three strategy from our perspective. One is organic growth, organic investment is critical for us. And you're seeing that being played out. Third quarter is a really great prime example where the investments that we're making in product set that Alex talked about earlier, is seeing the traction, both from a top of the funnel, but also we're seeing it in frequency and retention, and that drives lifetime value for us as a business. So we're going to continue to make those investments in the organic side of the business as the highest priority for us. We'll look at other opportunities inorganically. However, those opportunities will be at a very high bar for us, and that will continue also. Now where we do have excess liquidity, we will look at opportunities to return them to our shareholders. Now on our buyback program today, we're only about – roughly about $190 million out of the $500 million mandate that we have today. So we still have some ways to go. So we're going to continue to execute that. And as opportunities come up in the future, if those opportunities underwrite ones, we'll revisit our buyback program. But at this stage, we're committed to the $500 million and we still have about another $300 million to go to complete that buyback program. Next question please, operator.
