  Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio, news and earnings Palooza.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Looking at shares of meta platforms right now. They are
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: lower in the after hours, but not by much. They
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: were bouncing around a little bit, but now down about
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: one point one percent. We got news at the company.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: He's fourth quarter revenue coming pretty much in line with
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: estimates forty five billion to forty eight billion dollars. Mark
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Zuckerberg himself calling it a pretty good quarter, a good
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: quarter in the press release. Let's see what Mandeep Saying
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: has to say about that. Mandeep joins us here in
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studio's Bloomberg Intelligence senior technology analyst.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: He's looking at these numbers. What sticks out to you,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: especially in the wake of what we heard yesterday from Alphabet.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think most of the numbers that I see
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: are in line with the expectations. I mean, the one
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: thing is ad pricing. So ad pricing continues to tick up.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: If you look at this quarter, I think it was
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: around eleven percent. Impressions went down a little bit, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: it's just the function of how well they have been
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: executing in terms of, you know, implementing generative AI and
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: really making changes that compared to Snap who reported yesterday
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: we saw snaps at pricing decline. So you know, that
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: just goes to show at what scale care we really
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: compare the two well, I mean, digital ads is a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: function of how much you are better in terms of
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: targeting versus the other platforms. So Google Search at pricing
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: grew seven percent, Meta platforms at pricing grew eleven percent,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Snap at pricing down seven percent. So it just goes
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: to show it's easy to monetize on Snap, but you
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: are not getting the ROI. In the case of Google
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and Meta, you are getting an ROI on your ad
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: spend and that's why advertisers are willing to spend more.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: So it's a function of scale, but the effectiveness is there,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: and that's evident in meta platforms.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: To talk about all kookie things that they're still spending
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: money on. Reality Labs posting a four point four billion
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: dollar loss in the third quarter, it's revenue did rise
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: twenty nine percent year over year to two hundred and
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: seventy million dollars in the third quarter. That was actually
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: below analyst expectations four point four billion dollars. What are
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: they doing over at Reality Labs.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Mean, we know, it's the investments in the VR headsets,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the ray bang glasses we have talked about at Land
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: and look, I think they will always be a drag
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: on the overall operating profit because even if they sell
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: you know, one hundreds thousands millions of these, the margins
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: will never be comparable to their core ADS business, which
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: is north of fifty percent. So hardware is a money
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: losing business for Meta right now. And that's what's evident
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: in that four point four billion dollar loss.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: One of the headlines coming out of these numbers. Meta
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: still sees significant capital expenditures growth in twenty twenty five.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm talking to someone right now about
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve minutes. What does quote significant mean here?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Help us?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Well, So, look at how much the capex grew in
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four so far, and we're talking about already,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you know, a twenty percent bump. In the case of Microsoft,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: it's fifty percent, so significant could be fifty percent from
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: you know, forty billion this year, and that would get
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: it closer to sixty billion. Now. The difference between Meta
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and Microsoft is the capex intensity for Meta is already
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: north of twenty percent. Normally for large tech companies, CAPEX
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: intensity is like ten to fifteen percent. That's where Alphabet
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: is at.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So where are they spending this money? Katie mentioned that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: about ten percent of in Nvidia's revenue comes from Meta platforms,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: about twenty percent coming from Microsoft. Yeah, where's where does
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Meta spend this money next year?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: It's going towards GPUs. I mean it's every large tech
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: company right now is looking to build bigger data centers
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: where they can train their AI. And Meta has that
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: distinction of owning a large ANGLD model, their Lama language model,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: which they didn't mention a lot in their release, but
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it will come up on the call. And they have
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: talked about Meta AI having five hundred million monthly active
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: users that is powered by Lama. In fact, there was
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: some talk about Lama being licensed to an Amazon AWS
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: so they could start monetizing that. I mean, there's no
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: mention of it in the press release, but we will
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: hear about that on.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: The earning spot.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I want to talk a little bit about the share reaction.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Meta shares currently down over three percent right now, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I mean it's been an incredible run for Meta. You
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: talk about price to Perfection. I don't know if Perfection
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: exactly was priced in, but the bar was certainly high
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: for this stock.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: And look at the multiple. The price to earnings multiple
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: of Meta is twenty five times forwardunnings compared to an
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Alphabet which is still below twenty times forward earning. So
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: clearly there is that gap that Alphabet could catch up
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: to these guys in terms of multiples, and Microsoft is
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: close to thirty times earning. When you know, the setup
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: is such that expectations are higher. I mean, Microsoft had
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: thirty four percent growth in Azure. Still that wasn't good
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: enough to drive up those stock, So that's where expectations
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: come into play.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Lama and the potential integration. Explain to everyone
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: what Lama is and how Meta Platforms is actually using
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: it outside of sort of internally. I mean, I know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Am I seeing Lama when I go
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: search on Instagram, when I search on WhatsApp?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: So Lama.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: We've started hearing about Meta getting into their own search business.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: And look, Google and Meta have that distinction of owning
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: their large anglid model, whereas everyone else is dependent on
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: open Ai or Anthropic, which are independent companies. So in
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the case of Meta, they've had a lot of success.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: It's like Lama is on three point two release and
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: every release is getting better in terms of the native capabilities.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But can I download Yama as at and alone app
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: No? No, So this is a large I can't.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I can't download it like I download Chat GPT and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: use Chat GPT.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're looking to go towards that model where
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: you can use Lama in that form. But right now,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Lama is just being deployed across their family of apps,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: which is Instagram, you know, WhatsApp and Core Blue App.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: But again, owning a large anglid model is such a
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: huge moat, and that's where you know, all these companies
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: spending on data centers, the compute capacity. What they're looking
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: to do is to really build on that large anglid
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: model mode.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: There you go, There you go, and deep. We should
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: let him get back to work. Call to listen to.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He's got a report to write, he's busy after Alphabet
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and Snap. Yesterday we made him talk about Reddit. He
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: didn't even know he was going to talk about Reddit. Yesterday.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: We made you go everywhere Mannie, thanks so much for
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: joining us. Really do appreciate it. Okay, so Meta platform
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: shares moving in the after hours, they were down as
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: much as three percent, now down about two point seven percent. Katie,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: help me out with Microsoft and what Microsoft is doing.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think it comes back to those high
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: expectations as well. You see shares right now was a
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: pretty clean quarter overall, and I can't seem to quite
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: get off the ground in the after hours trade. We've
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: been toggling around what thirty four times earnings, that's what
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: it's trading at. That's a pretty high bar, tim.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is Microsoft clouds computing business, the office software fields,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: stronger then expected quarterly revenue growth. It's a sign that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the company's heavy investments in AI are starting to pay off.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get more.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: We got aniog Rana joining us. He has been looking
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: at these numbers for the past thirteen minutes or so.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: He's from Bloomberg Intelligence. Aniog what sticks out to you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: from this report?
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Azure number sticks out to us. That's thirty
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: four percent increase in constant currency. That's fairly impressive given
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: the size of that business. And another thing they basically
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: mentioned was it includes our twelve percentage points of growth
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: coming from AI related workloads, and Microsoft is the only
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: company that's really quantifying it at a very, very, i
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: would say, credible way at this point compared to any
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: of the other companies. So you know, But at the
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: same time, they're going to give guidance on the conference
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: call that's going to be an hour from now, and
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I think that dictates what happens to the stock tomorrow.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and of course it'll be interesting to see how
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: the market continues to digest these numbers bouncing around all
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: over in the after hours trade. Talk to us a
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: little bit more about the conference call, I mean, in
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: addition to some more details on the cloud, what else
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: will you be listening.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: For capital expenditures and how much more are they're going
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: to spend and what is it going to do for margins.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: This is the first year where we're going to see
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Microsoft's operating margin dip probably about one hundred to one
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: hundred and fifty basis points because of all the investments
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: that they're doing, and they need to convince the street
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: that these investments are worth the effort.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That means they're.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Going to spend the money this year and over the
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: next few years, You're going to see that money come back,
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: and I think that's going to be a lot of
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: discussion around capital expenditure as well as you know, growth.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: And ansure, and of course we're coming off the heels
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: a pretty strong alphabet results. I want to talk about
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: the search business in particular. It feels like BANG has
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: been the butt of the joke forever.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Really is it still you doing things?
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I don't just bring it?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a question, just bring it.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: I'm going to start saying that. Are people saying that more?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: You think about all these investments that Microsoft has made
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: in AI in particular, is the search business seeing the
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: fruits of that?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: No, I would not say that.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: I've been Their market share has remained kind of in that,
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: you know, same number compared to the pre AI era.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Microsoft made a big deal about it when they launched,
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: you know, their bing with AI features, and that was
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: the big thing that it's going to take down Google
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: or take some market share away from it. So far
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: it hasn't happened. But I think, you know, my Microsoft
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: is making a big noise about it. I also feel
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: they are trying to do this because they may want
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: to be you know, get a deal with Apple for
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: the search in that particular ecosystem. So it's a good business, frankly,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: but that's not what's going to drive the stock. The
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: stock is going to be driven by how the cloud
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: growth is and how stable their office business is.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: One thing that was pretty remarkable about yesterday's results on
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: IRAQ from Alphabet, the parent of Google, is the cloud
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: growth for that company. And men Deep was in here
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: reminding us that when it comes to the cloud race,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: you got Aws, you got Microsoft, and then in third
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: place you have Alphabet. So you're focused on Microsoft, the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: number two player when it comes to cloud. Why does
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: somebody go to Microsoft that somebody who isn't Open AI
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: for example, why do they go to Microsoft instead of
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: going to AWS or Google.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: That's a very good question.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: And you know, if you go back to the history
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: of cloud, Aws was the first company that really championed
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: the cause of public cloud services. Microsoft game and said, listen,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: go back to the companies that have been doing a
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: lot of tech spending and say, you already have a
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: lot of your workloads on Microsoft's products, which is Microsoft servers,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Microsoft operating system in databases. Why don't you port over
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: that workloads?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: To Micloud.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: So they really sold a lot of services as a
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: function of hybrid cloud services, and that's really their bread
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: and butter. But while when it comes to AWS in
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Google they're going after startups and trying to get more
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: money from them.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: How do you gain share in the cloud business? Is
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: it a game of inches? I mean, what does that
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: look like? That competitive landscape?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: This is probably the most important thing we try to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: tell people that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: You know, if you go back and look at ten
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: years ago, AWS has held its market share just in
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: the cloud infrastructure space, there's somewhere roughly around thirty five
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: to forty percent, somewhere in that range. But the size
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: of the cloud market has become so big. When it
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: was about one hundred two hundred billion at this point,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: you know, this is probably six hundred and seve hundred
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: billion and above at that point. So the whole market
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: is growing and I think one of the places where
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: people don't talk about because of Genai, we think cloud
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: growth is going to be even bigger. So in our view,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: all three companies and for that matter, the fourth vender, Oracle,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: they're all going to.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Make good money over the next few years.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Because it's easy to run those AI workload and experiments
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: on the cloud rather than doing it on premise.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, so is there anything we should be focused on
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: in these results that don't have to do with Azure
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: or the cloud, the capital expenditures?
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: I think, yeah, well, you can talk about gaming and
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: a few other things. But to be very honest, the
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: valuation Microsoft and AWS and Google have at this point,
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: it's largely driven by how they're going to monetize the
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: AI investments.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Everything else is secondary.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: The good thing about Microsoft is it has the Windows
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: operating system. It has office that provides a lot of
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: cash flow where they can invest without investors.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Get letty about it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, Katie reminding me throughout the day that twenty percent
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: of in Vidia's revenue.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Click eighteen point nine percent, but close enough, Almost twenty
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: percent of in Vidia's revenue comes from this one company,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Microsoft another roughly ten percent. Ten percent Meta.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Platforms is according to the SPLC function on the Bloomberg
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: terminal on IRAQ, how should we think about CAPEX from
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: and then, look, I know you don't cover in video,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: but how should we think about CAPEX spend from Microsoft? Also,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: what we heard from other companies this week with regard
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: to in Vidia, because that's certainly a focus for us
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and for our audience this week.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and again it's you know, it's very difficult to
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: tie at what part of capex is going towards data center,
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: what is going to GPU. Well, one of the analysis
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: that we did in recent weeks was from two thousand
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: and three to two thousand and five, we are looking
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: at an incremental ninety billion dollars from the life so
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: the top cloud providers and Apple and some other companies, and.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: A lot of that is going to build the infrastructure.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: I think one of the things that can you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: break down some of the AI craze would be when
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: all these companies said, wait, we're not going to be
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: investing as much as.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: We did before.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: I think that brings it down. But at so far,
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: what we have heard, investments are just ramping up right now,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: they are not slowing it down.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, we got you for a couple more minutes. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: want to make sure we continue to pick your brain
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: before you have to go and write this note on IRAQ.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: But give us an idea of what you'll be listening
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: for on the call a little later today, And how
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: are you thinking about the note that you're going to
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: end up writing tonight or tomorrow.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So when you look at Microsoft results again, the
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: question is going to be where is this growth coming from?
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Is it coming from directly the AI workloads or is
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: it coming from non AI related cloud spending as well?
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Because that matters a lot for AWS, which is going
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: to report Thursday night, because AWS does not have that
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: level of AI related revenue coming in at this point.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: So there's going to be a lot of discussion whether
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Google and Microsoft are taking some share away from AWS
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: or not. So I think over the next day or
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: so we get a big clarity that have we seen
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: a big push in all cloud spending or are we
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: seeing some kind of a market share shift.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's all the vendors are going to benefit
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: from that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: But I think for us today, when we are listening
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: to the call, the question is going to be where
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: is that spend coming from?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, and before we let you go, one more question
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: on Amazon tomorrow? What's the most Obviously AWS is important,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: but given what we heard from Alphabet and what we
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: heard from Microsoft, what's your expectation for Amazon and AWS tomorrow?
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: We should see an improvement in growth rate for AWS
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: because after these two companies, if they don't report that,
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: I mean to be honest, that's not going to be
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: good for them.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's unlikely. But at the same time,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: we also want to know what's going to happen with
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: their margins.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: We have heard a lot about the company, you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: trying to rein in extra expenditures, trying to keep boots
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: their margins. At the same time they're investing a lot
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: in GENEI. So I think those two elements almost for
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: every cloud company or any software company right now are
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: what's your GENI contribution and what is happening to your
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: margin structure.
