I'm sorry before my follow-up, just to get the breakdown. If I were to assume that EM margins are down only marginally year over year, that would imply a significant falloff in premier Farnell margin, probably even lower to -- when you acquired them, unless my math is off. And then I also wanted to have a follow-up aft...
Yes. So Farnell is in the 7% to 10% range, so still higher than when we acquired them, but most likely down sequentially from our fourth quarter. And most importantly, we see this as a temporary thing. As the market rebounds again, we're positioning ourselves extremely well to be able to play heavily the upside. And w...

Got it. So as my follow-up, I mean, you have previously alluded to getting toward a 4% margin by the end of the year, so you can keep on your trajectory of four, four and a half, five. Do you think that 4% margin, even exiting fiscal '20, is possible? And if so, what would be the moving pieces to get those back? What w...
So Param, this is all about the work we're doing today has positioned us for when the demand picks up. And that's why the focus on opex, working capital, cash, buyback. I don't want to put out a time frame, because we clearly would need markets to stabilize and pick up to where they were to hit the 4%. But when we thin...

Hi, good afternoon, everybody. I wanted to not surprisingly follow-up on Farnell. The 15% EBIT margin target, does that require to get back to a similar scenario that was out there in '16 to 2018? Because pricing and lead times don't get that far out of whack very often in semis and passives. And so wondering what type...
So if you recall, last earnings call, I laid out the investment plan that we have within Farnell. We still are very bullish on getting to 15%. I think in the near term, we'd be back to 12% to 13% first and then more like three to five years to get us to 15%. But what we're investing in is more SKUs. That was one of the...

So we're still on the $245 million plan, and the $50 million is part of that $245 million. So we're planning -- like we said, we should be in the high $100 million. By the end of this year, we have a line of sight to $210 million of the $245 million. We have a number of projects to pull in the $245 million. To help eve...

Good afternoon. This is Madison on for Adam. Thanks for taking my question. So I think you mentioned on the call, you expect some of these pricing pressures to persist throughout calendar year '19 and into '20. So should we think about similar levels of negative operating leverage during these quarters? Or are there so...
Well, the $50 million of cost reduction will definitely improve our opex and GP ratio going forward.

No problem. I'll go over to cash flow, which has actually been fairly robust over the last several quarters. I know you have generally thought about cash flow as converting greater than 75% in net income. Is this something we should continue to see on a forward basis? And as we think about fiscal year '20, what are the...
Yeah. I think you should continue to see more of what we're doing. We've explained before our buybacks based on our pricing grid. So the lower the share price, the more we buy back. The higher share price, the less we buy back. So it'll fluctuate a bit every quarter. We still have plenty of opportunity for the working ...

Well, we would agree with your assumption. I think what we were trying to say, Matt, that we expect the softness to continue at least through December. It's hard to predict when it will recover.

Hi, thanks for taking my question. It seems like you are one to two quarters lagging versus component vendors in terms of seeing the end of demand weakness.

I'm just wondering if in the process of doing your channel checks with the catalog guys, if you've put any reason why customers are shifting to more broad-based players?
Yeah, yeah, sure. This is a common phenomenon. We thought we should have described it in earlier calls. But when lead times are extended, what happens is our suppliers will shift more of the allocated supply into the catalog guys, because it's a higher-margin opportunity for them, and of course, higher-margin opportuni...

OK. So when you're saying achieving 500,000 deliveries has become more difficult, was it really just a function of the recent shutdowns and some of these supply dynamics?
Yes. It's not true at demand. It's really just a production issue. It's been pretty hard when you've got like a global supply chain, and it's kind of whatever the most effective part of supply chain is that sets your rate.

Going forward also, are they using your device for additional extension -- label expansion studies that they're talking about now, COPD, etc.? Or are they using Tyvaso, the old formulation, and then plan to maybe wait for approval of the DPI to then try to expand that label after approval? Or are they using your device...
I think in fairness, everything they're doing outside of the extension study, and so all the other indications are on their Tyvaso nebulizer. And whether or not they switch over to the DPI formulation, I think, would be TBD post approval. So I wouldn't expect you to look at it until we've seen an approval.

Yes, Steve, thanks for the question. It's related to the manufacturing activity for the first quarter for Afrezza.

Do you have like a percentage that you could share on just -- I guess the way I thought about everybody's portfolio is there's just not a lot to sell in the spot market itself. Most open volumes are priced at bid week. So, is there anything that you can share to give us kind of a rough ballpark on what you can sell int...
Yes. I think it's in that 450 million, 500 million a day range is kind of what we have available depending on pipe capacity and all that to move around the system, and whether that's Chicago, Midwest or Gulf Coast. So, it's a pretty significant number for us.

I'd like to understand the accounting treatment of the proposed or proposed accounting treatment of the proposed distribution agreement with EyeLock. How would it appear? How would it get translated into the various balance sheet items?
Let's say -- well, first it was a stand-alone agreement, anything that they purchased would be booked as a sale and the gross profit recorded would be recorded on EyeLock's books.

That is correct. And as Pat mentioned, because of the strength of the team it's joining, we feel that that's going to give us more market potential.

Now there's been a view in the industry that you need about, let's say, 500 rigs working for maintenance-type production. And roughly 220 type pressure pumping active crews to keep production flat. Based on your discussions, do you think that overall industry activity is going to get ahead of those numbers into -- as y...
It's really a basin-by-basin economic discussion where we're seeing Permian operators improve the economics of what they're doing, where they can afford to increase activity a little bit and increase production. WTI is moving up to a level that is starting to interest Bakken producers in picking up rigs and even South ...

Just on that question of LNG, what's your -- what's the opportunity set in terms of additional rig activity on the LNG theme for the next, let's say, 12 to 24 months. Have you had any long-term discussions with the operators and -- about locking up high-end rigs for that?
I would say overall activity in that area is steady and slightly increasing is the best way to characterize that. And I think that while you haven't seen operators lock up necessarily long-term contracts, the economics for that could improve over the year as well.

And then just a final question on the super-spec rig fleet given your activity is going to go up quite a bit, some of your peers also seeing that, where do you think utilization is right now for the super-spec kind of high-end ready rigs and then where it could be? And when do you see pricing kind of move up in decent ...
Yes. I don't have the numbers for utilization on super-spec is right now, but I'll also throw out that it doesn't really matter so much. The super-spec rig is a hot commodity rig item. And what we've seen historically is as those rigs start to go to work, then pricing tends to move up. And there also creates a phenomen...

First question, can you connect the dots between -- in the cyber business between the decline in ARR versus the very healthy billings growth in the quarter. And more specifically, was there any contribution from perpetual license like SecuSUITE in the quarter?
Yes. Actually, your second question answers somewhat partially the first question. We had a good SecuSUITE quarter selling to the government and it's perpetual because of the way the government purchases the technology. And so that did not fully reflect it obviously, and it cannot be reflected on the ARR. There was som...

And second question, just on the patent sale, and not so much in the details you mentioned you can't disclose -- obviously, negotiations are ongoing. But if the sale doesn't go through and you don't find a third party. I mean, would you revert back to IP licensing? Or are you -- you're definitely going to go through wi...
I believe for simplicity of our company's story and the focus, we should find a buyer, and I believe we will find a buyer. But we will not shy away from monetizing ourselves. We do have our team standby and ready. So -- but my first priority is a secure buyer. And there has been other people that have approached, but I...

Two things -- two questions I have. First is regarding the chip supply position. Do you think because of the depression in cryptos, some chip capacity may have been released and that may be easing out the chip shortage that automotive industry is facing. Are you seeing something to that effect?
I'm not good enough to answer your question there, Trip. I'm not a big crypto fan. Hate to say that. You know, they got you. So I don't follow that very closely. I know it's very depressed at this point. And I don't know the relationship with that. I'm sure there are some with the chip shortages issue. So sorry, I can'...

Second question I had is regarding the IVY platform, and it's -- and you're getting insurance -- auto insurers on top of it. I was wondering what kind of use cases can you think about that can evolve over a period of time?
That's a very good question. I -- so we have, in our partnership, at least one, if not two, the organization has specialized in this area -- in the insurance area, for example. The big thing about the insurance area with auto is pay-as-you-go kind of a usage-based insurance model. And then the other one is a redefiniti...

You talked about how you're seeing the supply chain ease. Could you just talk about what you're seeing that's changed since you gave the last update?
Yes. On the supply chain side, the OEMs around the world, they finally have a good strategy. And then as each of them has their own strategy, but I see it more suited to high-end cars being built, that they are able to manage their supply chain issue and build and release cars that hold more value to them. So high-end ...

But it's -- I guess it's not material enough to move the IoT guide for the year.
No, no, because there is a headwind. We had a little delay on some of the stuff when China has a lockdown because of COVID. And then, of course, now, as you all read, and you guys probably know this very well, that the interest rate uptick is causing a little bit of a demand slowdown for new vehicle purchases. And so t...

And then my second question had to do on the cyber business. You talked about modest churn in SMBs. And you talked about that for a couple of quarters. What I was wondering is we're starting to see an enterprise staff being given auctions of BlackBerry UEM versus, let's say, a competitor. And I'm just wondering if you'...
Yes. Currently, we haven't seen that. So this is important that we continue to work on our products and partnerships, which I talked about. So far, the UEM churn is usually in the nonregulated space and is a small -- more small, medium enterprise. So for the very large one, we have continuous renewal and particularly t...

Just wondering if you can provide some color on the drivers behind the 14% increase in the QNX backlog. Is that due to a recovery of production volumes, extension of some programs or higher ASP? Just any color on that would be helpful.
Yes. It's the result of the design wins we've been telling you folks every quarter. And so, we have a very strict guideline and formula of what get counted, what didn't get counted. And we're very conservative on that. But this is as a result of what the OEM told us that this is the volume you should expect in future y...

And then I wanted to ask a question on the patent sale. You said you would explore options as they come in. I just want to know like whether you guys are actively looking for other options? Like are you actually going back to other bits you had in your initial process or are you starting from the beginning again?
No, no. Not at all. In fact, we're being approached by others. I'm not actively looking for or starting from square one. As I said I want to make sure that the shareholder knows that we're not just stuck with one option, but we do expect to see, and we would like to see the previously announced deal with Catapult to ha...

For my first question, I'd like to focus on Karen's comments on spacing and Howard County. Karen, based on the limited data you have, how are you generally thinking about spacing across your position at current pricing? And are there any other notable adjustments or areas of opportunity you like to incorporate in your ...
Hi. Good morning. Thanks for the question. Yes. So we've talked about in prior releases that we wanted to look at different potential spacing development plans in the Wolfcamp. So we're looking at both the 12-well and an eight-well development there. The first two packages that we talked about are based on the tighter...

With regard to your 2021 guidance, you effectively raised your oil guidance despite the weather affects you experienced in Q1 that thing at least suggests a stronger production profile than previously thought. Could you perhaps speak to the production trajectory and potentially offer color on an excited exit rate for 2...
So I can comment on the production profile itself. So we actually added in the deck this time early results of the first Howard County package coming online, and we did split out the Wolfcamp and the Spraberry formation specifically. So as we mentioned, it's early, but well performance on that first package is meeting ...
