• A Note on Sponsored Listings: Brian finally acknowledged that Sponsored Listings could be added to the platform on the

Q425 earnings call: “One of the things that's been really clear with the, after the launch of ChatGPT was that traditional

search was going to become essentially conversational AI search. And that what we wanted to do is really design AI

We need the AI Search function to blossom before we can really start talking about Sponsored Listings upside to Adj.

EBITDA (which can be considerable). All told, investors believe this is a 2027 story at best.
