Greetings and welcome to the j2 Global Third Quarter 2015 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. It is my pleasure to introduce your host Mr. Scott Turicchi, President of j2 Global. Thank you. Mr. Turicchi, you may begin.

Management

Thank you, Manny and good afternoon and welcome to j2 Global's investor conference call for the third fiscal quarter of 2015. As Manny just mentioned, I'm Scott Turicchi, the President and CFO of j2 Global, and with me today is Hemi Zucker, our Chief Executive Officer. We're extremely proud of the accomplishments of our teams during this outstanding quarter where a number of records were set, in fact beating the records we established just one quarter ago, and we believe this continues to validate our overall strategy. The performance was exceptional in both our Cloud and Media segments. As a result, the board has authorized an increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.315 a share. We'll use a presentation for today's call; a copy of which is available at our website. When you launch the webcast, there's a button on the viewer on the right-hand side, which will allow you to expand the slides. Also, if you've not yet obtained a copy of the press release, you may access it through our corporate website at j2global.com/press. In addition, you will be able to access the webcast from this site. After we complete the presentation, we'll conduct a Q&A session. The operator will instruct you at that time regarding the procedures for asking a question. However, at any time you may e-mail us questions at investor@j2global.com. Before we begin the formal presentation, allow me to read the Safe Harbor language. As you know, this call and webcast includes forward-looking statements.

Thank you very much, Scott. Amazing quarter. There is not a lot to say, you said it all Scott. But still, first of all, next month we are celebrating 20 years since we started this as small JFax in the small apartment in New York, very proud to be here and to talk with you about our results. Q3 was an amazing quarter as Scott said. We have done and achieved a lot. And let's go to page eight. Page eight, during the last five years, we have achieved over 20% CAGR as is measured here by the five Q3s on each year 2011 till 2015. We have here our three segments of the j2 business and the story here, we saw it is very good in demonstrating what happened in the last five years. So, let's start from the left. The blue one, which is fax and voice, which we call now Cloud Connect, in 2011 it was $80 million and it was 95% of the total revenue. $80 million – all the millions are per quarter. And now it is $90 million per quarter and it is – it changed from 94% of the business to only 50%; within eFax it's only 42%, very profitable and the profitability is continuing to grow and increase as Scott just said. The next one, the little one, the tiny one is the grade for 6% or a tiny $5 million in Q3, 2011. Now it's $38 million per quarter and is 21%, and we call it the other Cloud Services, which are growing faster than anything else from 6% to 21%. And then the Media, the orange color, Media just started in 2013. It was 26% of our revenue as we started with $33 million in revenue and now it has…

Management

It's correct.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

It's correct, the company that we bought from LiveVault; it was a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard, not an easy thing to do – carve out a subsidiary out of a large company like Hewlett-Packard is not an easy thing. The j2 staffs stood up to the task and now we have a new LiveVault business which blends well with our j2 offerings. We opened already a Boston office with the LiveVault employees and the revenue impact on Q3 is zero, because we acquired in the last day of the quarter. LiveVault, if and when, added in Q4 to the existing revenue, should increase our run rate to $105 million and EBITDA margin will climb from the 44% as I talked to, 50%, maybe even more. So amazing story that demonstrate j2 five years ago, we met a small company called KeepItSafe, their revenue was $1.5 million, we grew it up to five years to $105 million. So 70x and the EBITDA that was $600,000 grew to $52.5 million which is 88x in five years. This is basically I think the way to view j2, how we do it. Let's move to another story of success which is page 12, Email Security or FuseMail as we call it internally, they had a great quarter. Why is it a great quarter? They have finally made a big improvement in the integration of our acquisition of Comendo and Stay Secure and with this improvement, an integration came the EBITDA that just went above 40%, revenue year-over-year grew up 220%, quarter-over-quarter 2% over last quarter, it's all net organic. There was not a significant acquisition for FuseMail in the last few quarters. As I said the main achievement is the EBITDA of 40% that should and go better. FuseMail also got an award, this is…

Thank you, Hemi. Before we open it up to questions, I would ask you to turn to slide 18 where we'll talk about our guidance for fiscal year 2015. We're reconfirming the increased guidance. As you know, at the end of Q3, in early October, we made an announcement of the nine acquisitions completed during the quarter and based upon both the operational results we had at the time as well as the contribution of those nine acquisitions, it was our belief that the higher end of our ranges that were originally announced when we first gave guidance back in February were no longer sustainable. And so, as a result, we raised the high end of the revenue guidance from $710 million for the year to $724 million and the high end of the adjusted non-GAAP EPS from $3.97 to $4.13. We reconfirm those today. I would also note because some people had asked the question why we did not narrow the range of guidance, and as we've discussed in other calls, it is our philosophy ideally in creating guidance ranges throughout the year, to have them wide enough to take into account for unforeseen positives and negatives such that throughout the course of the year we reconfirm our guidance. However, there have been a few instances in our history where events have occurred to the upside that have caused us to revisit the high end of the range. And so, our philosophy is we will only affect that portion of the range which we no longer have confidence in. And at this point, I would now – while I'd guide you to the fact that behind the reconfirmation slide in the guidance are the usual metric slides as well as the various GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations for the various business units. And so we will be happy to in the course of questions address any of those if you do have questions on them. And I would ask Manny now to come back and instruct you how to queue for questions.

Our first question is from James Breen of William Blair. Please go ahead. James Breen - William Blair & Co. LLC: Thanks for taking the question. Scott, I just wonder if you could talk about the advertising revenue on the Digital Media side, how that's broken up amongst the different types of revenue streams and how do you expect that to trend going forward? Thanks.

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Sure. So, first of all, as you know, in our Digital Media business one of the things that we premised when we first bought Ziff Davis and has continued subsequently is that we have multiple streams of revenue contributing to the overall revenue of Ziff Davis. So, about 45% of that revenue would be classic display advertising; then we have performance based market advertising, which is what Hemi just noted, showed some very strong growth in the last quarter at say 30%-ish of total revenues. Then we have our B2B business and our Licensing business that roughly are equal in contributing to the balance of the revenues. So, that portfolio of mix I think is very important as we look forward. I'm going to take implicit in your question – or I'm going to address a topic that certainly has come up within the broader Digital Media business probably over the last six to eight weeks, which is ad blocking technology and that is made more prominent through what Apple did with their latest operating system release. So, what we are very happy about, and I think we've seen very minimal effect from the ad blocking technology, is first and foremost it can't even affect more than half of our business; it can only affect half of our business at most. But more importantly, we've got very sophisticated users on the tech and game side, and so this is actually not something new for Zipp Davis. It is something that has been available in other browsers. And so, it is something that the team has had to manage around, not just in the last two to three months, but for years. One of the things that we've doing to help mitigate any impact that could come from the ad blocking…

Thank you. The next question is from Shyam Patil of SIG. Please go ahead.

Shyam Vasant Patil - Susquehanna Financial Group LLLP

Analyst

Thank you. Hey guys, great quarter. First question is around M&A. If you could just talk about the pipeline, kind of how you feel exiting 2015 and entering 2016. How do you feel about your pipeline for large deals, mid-sized deals, smaller deals? And then, Scott, in terms of capital deployment so far this year, how do you feel you guys have done and have you guys hit your internal goals for the year? Just kind of curious how you guys have done versus what you may have expected to do this year?

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Yeah. Okay, I will try to remember all your subparts; if not remind me of them. So I'm going to take your last one because that's actually what I remember. We, as you know, in the budget and the guidance, because we had a lot of M&A in Q4 and in Q1 at the time that we released guidance, we actually didn't bake a whole lot in for the balance of the year. Now having said that, if you look over the last three years or so, we are in the mode of spending $200 million to $300 million a year on M&A. We are at $265 million this year. I think we were just under $300 million last year and a little north of $200 million a year before that. So irrespective of the budget, that's kind of an internal benchmark that I look at. Now, as you know, certain situations you could spend all that money in more than one transaction; that's generally not been the case for us. It's been spread across many smaller deals. If you look at the 29 deals in the trailing four quarters, 27 of them would probably be considered small by anybody's definition and the two that are "larger" are not large. So I think that as we look forward in terms of the pipeline, there's always an ever-green amount of these small deals. And just to define it for people that might not be used to our terminology, a small deal is one that has $5 million or less in revenue, and those are heavily weighted to the Cloud side of the business. Generally, the Media looks for businesses that have $10 million and more in revenue. So our pipeline remains strong. It's always strong as it relates to the smaller transactions. And then more and more, we're starting to see as we've gotten bigger, we have access to more capital, some of these large situations like LiveVault and we see things by the way that are even much bigger than that. Although oftentimes, valuation-wise or fit-wise, they are not as good. So I think as we look out into 2016, I am very optimistic because I believe that the trend that we've seen in the last 18 months to 24 months for us is going to continue to show us medium to large-sized deal flow. I think that by doing a successful carve-out from a company like HP, that's very good credibility on the Street to do other carve-outs, our Media business has done that several times, including the IGN transaction from News Corp. I think as we've talked about before, SugarSync's very interesting transaction that came from the DC world. So there are new vistas opening up for us in terms of where we're looking for M&A targets or for assets that we can buy.

Shyam Vasant Patil - Susquehanna Financial Group LLLP

Analyst

Great, great. And maybe just a follow-up on the guidance and you talked about raising the high end for revenue and for earnings, how much of the guidance raise would you say is from organic outperformance versus M&A? And in terms of the M&A that you did in the third quarter, what kind of run rate should we expect from an annualized basis kind of heading into 2016 and what kind of growth rate do you think we should assume on that base of revenue, just so we can set our models for next year?

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

I'm not going to go there with you because we're still in the budgeting process on 2016. Obviously, we haven't released 2016 guidance. But I will give you some maybe helpful hints here. So in terms of the – as Hemi mentioned, there's very little contribution from the M&A in Q3 itself. Literally LiveVault closing the last day of the month, Salesify closed a couple of weeks earlier, and most of the other stuff was actually rather modest in size. So the book of business that we bought in Q3 is a round number about $70 million in revenue across all the nine transactions. So that will flow through roughly proportionately into Q4 in terms of incremental revenue that otherwise would not have existed. So in answer to your first part of the question, the majority of the bump in both top and bottom line comes from the fact that we've got these additional revenue streams, all of which are profitable from day one, although some may be more profitable as we look out into the future than just into Q4. So more than the majority of the raise comes from the acquired assets and their EBITDA productivity. However, as you've just seen in Q3, even against our own budgets internally there's been an outperformance going on within the core businesses. So it was a combination of both that moved us from – I'd say we were not at the absolute high end of the range in revenue, we were somewhat above the midpoint; our EPS was somewhat higher than that in terms of its range. It popped (34:41) both of those well north of the high end.

Thank you. The next question is from James Fish of Citi. Please go ahead.

James E. Fish - Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.

Analyst

Hey, Hemi and Scott. Thanks for the questions here. It's all the James again. Scott, back in Q4, you guys gave us some values on the organic growth rates for the DID, non-DID in Digital Media businesses. Has anything changed here or should we assume that those rates have stayed the same?

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

I think, in general, they are – I think they are in general consistent. As you know, the Cloud Connect business, we don't model – some people call it a GDP grower. We're not modeling anything higher than that. We did have a very good Q3. Sometimes, you'll get some bumps higher than that. But I think that to be realistic, it is a large cash generator. I think that's the right way to look at it. Our non-DID-based or our non-Cloud Connect businesses, in general, are trending right around double-digit organic growth, although some of that is being masked this year, in fact, a good amount in the Backup business because of the FX elements that we talked about not only in this quarter, but in previous quarters. A large portion of that $6-plus million that we took within the quarter applies to our Backup business, because prior LiveVault, the vast majority of that revenue was either in pounds or in euros because it was heavily European based. And then I think we got a Digital Media business that is right around a double-digit organic grower. Just say we are going to take the temperature of how some of these elements that I just addressed like the ad blocking play in on a going forward basis. But we've got some very, very strong elements of that business that are well into the double-digit growth rates.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

And, James, some of the growth, I talked about 70,000 – over 68000 to be exact net growth, half of it or almost half is actually from Livedrive, not LiveVault. LiveVault by the way has large customers, so impact on user base is very small because their customers are larger, but LiveVault itself was doing very good. In the UK, they have this back-to-school and all those things like – I think the number I saw 31,000 came from the LiveVault – Livedrive. Livedrive, sorry – Livedrive, which is a consumer product that ties into UK base, that ties into shoppers that buy equipment, phones, PCs and things like this that have memory or touchscreen. So they were a big impacter this quarter and that's why you also will see if you are planning to ask the little decline in the ARPU because they have lower ARPU typically, but have zero marketing cost.

James E. Fish - Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.

Analyst

Got it. Hemi, you are always beating me to my next question. I will ask another one instead. Over the last one or two months for eFax, it seems though there's been an uptick in the advertising there. Why this additional investment instead of marketing into your faster growth areas?

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

First of all, I'm not sure that the increase is there.

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

I don't know it's correct.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Because we are actually getting more confidence in advertising on Backup. Backup was dry. There was no advertising there. And recently with some changes, we did some campaigns in Europe, I forgot the buzzword there, but basically we are seeing 10,000, I don't know euro/dollars a week of new business that is coming through the advertising to mid-sized business. In the eFax, I don't think we are increasing in the U.S., a little bit on voice, a little bit in other countries. In Australia, just where we are integrating and we are building new teams. The j2 formula, if you are a new team and you don't know what you are doing, don't advertise. First of all, get control on the organic. Once we have a team that we think that are able to spend money, analyze, and then deploy more money than we are actually opening the advertising packet. But it's not eFax. It's a little bit eFax, but it's the other businesses that are now starting to see a return on investment. Most of it is actually on the Backup. Scott, maybe you can check as we talk.

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Yeah.

James E. Fish - Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

You are welcome, James.

Thank you. The next question is from Daniel Ives of FBR. Please go ahead. Daniel H. Ives - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: Hey, guys. Great quarter, again.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Hi, Daniel. Daniel H. Ives - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: So in terms of M&A, as you go in 2016 and obviously you guys humming on each part of your business. In terms of just M&A candidates on the private side, are you starting to see maybe some desperation or valuations come down a bit in certain areas that could make it more aggressive for you to be on M&A?

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

I think it's very transaction or deal-specific. I mean, I think that certainly you can have systemic elements, be it major changes in the economy that are prolonged or stock market correction, certainly the latter we're not seeing right now. If anything, it seems like the Dow is reaching back for new all-time highs. However, I think this is part of the art of the teams that we have built is that whether the markets are strong or weak or the economy is strong or weak, where to look to find the right kind of deals that will fit our model. And by the way, we just – I'm sure you'll appreciate it, others may not. We have to look at scores of deals to find the five deals to 10 deals that we do a quarter. So we're throwing a lot back because in many instances it's not that we don't like the asset, but we don't like the price associated with the asset. It doesn't work for our model, at least at this moment in time. So educating the deal teams of where to look and how to find and create value in these deals is very important because we can't have our M&A program be subject to market conditions. Yes, they're going to be influenced by them on the margin, but that's all I want them to be influenced on the margin.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

And Daniel, it's a good question, and I would like to answer you. And, it relates – let's say, use for example the carve-out that we did with Hewlett-Packard and I think they would not care because it's not material for them; it's material to us. They came to us and we were dealing there with a strong M&A team and they say, you know, we came to you not thinking that you'll be the highest bidder. You say you are serious, you will execute, you will be fast, you have cash, and you have a very high close rate. Those things matter when somebody wants to sell. So we are basically, with our discipline and our reputation, are getting deals that – I can tell you so many times when I get involved in the deals and I usually get involved with the deals, either larger size or are new to us and I want to make sure that we are comfortable with geography, with the people, with the business. And then I need the sellers, all the bankers aimed together, and they basically want us, because they know that we can execute well, we know that we are serious, and we know that they will get it closed. So I think those in the new environment, those attributes of ours, will help us a lot because there are many people that just go, kick the tires, take a round around the block and then you buy new car with a thousand miles; all are testing miles, but they are not buying.

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

And we saw that same phenomenon a couple of years ago when News Corp wanted to sell IGN.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Yeah.

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

We were definitely not the highest bidder, but we were able to execute on about a 60-day timeframe.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

You know, we did a very small deal, small deal already in this quarter – was the company out of bankruptcy. We were able...

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

In bankruptcy.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

In bankruptcy, yeah. We just knew the business so well that we asked two questions, we gave him the money and we were shocked how well the deal was. I mean, we paid half-time revenues, Scott, right?

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Yeah.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

It was like amazing, not big. But it just shows you execution is very important and we definitely have the experience of doing it. So thank you for your question, Daniel. Daniel H. Ives - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: Yeah. And just – that's a good answer. When I think about Cloud and Digital Media going into 2016, obviously you're not giving guidance, but can you maybe just go through in each of them, the biggest opportunity. But also maybe the biggest challenge, and obviously you touched on the ad blocking. I think that was good that you hit that, but maybe on each of those businesses going into 2016 just sort of the biggest positive and biggest potential and even challenge or negative? Thanks.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Yeah. So, Media – I'll start. Media has big, big targets; usually they buy companies with large...

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Core business I think.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Core business, okay. So, I'll just touch on Media, now. Now the core business, obviously on the fax we are a big player, not a lot to do, but actually we still have some deals and I am comfortable that we can continue to maintain the slow growth, but growth, still growing on the voice side and in other territory. So I'm very comfortable saying that the fax will continue in the same – and the voice; the Cloud Connect in the same trajectory. Backup, a story of acceleration; we were making an attempt of Carbonite. We are still a large shareholder there. There is no discussion, nothing, but there are companies like that. They are being the largest one, so I see us absolutely making deals on the Backup. And while we don't have any significant large-sized deal on the pipeline, they will come I know. We know them, they know us. We can execute; not a lot of competition in this space. On the next one, which is our e-mail or FuseMail, many large companies, like Google deal a few years ago, Symantec and now Intel are exiting; they think it's too small for them. They think they are going to focus on their main business because it's not core to them. And we are just sitting there and providing great service and, therefore, I think they – and I say 2016 (46:27) organic. And this year we didn't even look at assets because we were like the snake that ate a big, big cow and is digesting it; it cannot eat for a year. So this is how I see the business. I know Daniel that you like analogies. You know, I am not so good with trains, but I am good with snakes. But the next one is Campaigner. We just heard about and congratulations on both sides of the Constant Contact. I don't know if it's a closed deal, but it's interesting deal. In this space, there are still many opportunities for us. We are in discussions and it's a small business for us. So a business of $25 million, to double it, it doesn't mean a lot for j2, but it's a lot for them. So basically I think that this is the way we see it. We have the money. We have the execution power. We have the appetite. We have the energy. What we don't know is how the markets will be. But we are ready for both good and bad markets and we will lay out the budget. We didn't start work on our budget. We will start now, next month. And hopefully when we come with the numbers sometimes in the early February, we'll be able to provide you a better picture. But I can tell you we are all very optimistic and, as you can hear from our voices, we are very optimistic.

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

I think on the Media side, to supplement what Hemi said, the licensing portion of the business, the performance based marketing in the B2B, I think is where there is upside. I think the area to watch is on the display side for some of the reasons that I already mentioned. But, I think, given our proportionality of revenue, I feel very good about the fact that we've got some strong dynamics in the non-display piece of our Digital Media businesses and it's upsize. Daniel H. Ives - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: Got it. Great.

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Before we go to the – are you finished Dan? Daniel H. Ives - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: Yeah, I'm good.

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Before we go to next question, I want to just go back to Jim's question about the marketing. I don't know if it's exactly what he was referring to, we've got some data for the third fiscal quarter of 2015 versus 2014. First of all, on the Cloud side, in the aggregate, the spend was almost exactly the same. The difference was about $150,000 more in Q3 of 2015 versus Q3 of 2014. However, as Hemi noted, there is a shift that has gone on in that mix were several hundred thousand dollars moved from the Cloud Connect piece of the business to the online backup. So the aggregate stays the same, Q3 of 2014 to Q3 of 2015, but a slight shift in mix from Cloud Connect, which is fax and voice to online backup.

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

It's funny. It's the same guy, it's Eric (49:23) that used to spend the money on Cloud Connect that moved back to U.S. and spending the money...

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

All right. Any other questions?

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

Any other?

Operator

Operator

Yes. We have another question comes from line of Greg Burns of Sidoti & Co. Please go ahead. Greg J. Burns - Sidoti & Co. LLC: Yeah. Just a question on the Cloud margins is the highest they've been in over two years. Didn't sound like any of the new acquisitions would be dilutive, in some cases sounded like it potentially be accretive to margin. So how should we think about the margin profile of the Cloud business prospectively?

Hemi Zucker - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

You're correct. The largest two deals are adding, they're very profitable. I think that their numbers will stabilize at the 50% level, depends on the business. The more mature one, the fax is higher, the younger one, lower. But I think Scott, you're better than me in this, but I think 50%...

R. Scott Turicchi - j2 Global, Inc.

Management

No, I think look, as we stated before, the goal in how we run our businesses on the Cloud side in particular, although it was also seeing some applicability to the Media side, is that when these businesses get to scale, they should produce 50% or better EBITDA margins. Cloud Connect to scale and it produces somewhat north of 50% EBITDA margins. Backup isn't there yet on a historic basis but on a prospective basis, with the addition of LiveVault, the answer is yes, even though it's actually not at a revenue level that we would consider fully scale. I think we've talked about before, a $150 million to $175 million really being a scale of business, we're just tipping a $100 million but honing in on a 50% EBITDA margin. Our email security, I think it needs more revenue and scale to move from the low 40s to 50%, but it's moving in the right direction. And then email marketing, even off at small base, is already there. So, what you're seeing I think in the quarter is the effect of the integration of a number of primarily small deals that have occurred over the prior nine months. Some of which were drag on the margins at the time of acquisition. But as we have integrated them and gotten the synergies they have now been accretive to the margins of each individual business segment. So I'm always reticent to talk about margins going north of 50% even though I think that is possible. In our Cloud Connect business which is the fax and the voice, I've been a believer for a while that given the share size of that business, there's probably some additional margin that can be obtained and because it's a large base of revenue even small movement in margin can be very nice accretion to the bottom line. So it's a little bit too early to prognosticate but assuming we have generally stable economic conditions and these businesses continue to scale in the revenue both organically and with M&A, I would expect to see some EBITDA margin improvement from where we sit today versus the future.

And Greg, you know I have very high appetite for growth in revenue because I'm very confident that j2 over the years has a very strong capability to drive very high EBITDA out of companies. We just have to be disciplined, selective, find the right ones and sky is the limit. Greg J. Burns - Sidoti & Co. LLC: Okay, thanks. And then cash flow last year in the fourth quarter was flat sequentially. Is that how should we be thinking about it this year?

Well, I think had we not done the M&A deal that were contributing in Q4 but not in Q3, I would say probably that's a good way of looking at it. Because all of the Media business will do larger EBITDAs in Q4 because of the timing of collecting on the receivables, their cash comes in generally in Q1 because a lot of their EBITDA is generated from middle of November through late December. However, we have the wrinkle this year of these nine transactions contributing revenue, EBITDA and cash flow in Q4. So, I would expect assuming taxes stay stable, no major change in CapEx, maybe there will be some upward bias in free cash flow generation in Q4 relative to Q3. Greg J. Burns - Sidoti & Co. LLC: Okay. Thank you.

Thank you. At this time, I would like to turn the conference back over to management for any additional comments.

Good. Thank you. Well, we appreciate your joining us on the call today to review the Q3 results and talk about the balance of the year. Next Tuesday in New York, I will be presenting at the Mizuho Conference that will be on Tuesday, November 10, and then in January, Vivek and I will be presenting at the Needham Conference also in New York. We do not have a date yet set for the Q4 earnings call but based on past precedent that's likely to be the second week of February, at which time we'll have the Q4 results and also release 2016 guidance. Thank you.
