Meaningful opportunities to lower costs, improve speed and leverage

(1) The goal of approximating these direct goods costs is to help you size the cost structure of the Goods category and its impact to AEBITDA in 2019. We currently anticipate that when we exit the Goods category, its financial results will be presented as a discontinued operation, but these estimates are not intended to approximate discontinued operations financial information nor do they take into account any indirect costs.

Planned exit of Goods category will allow us to right-size our spend to support our go-forward business

Estimate we can take out ~$751 million of direct costs related to Goods exit

Pursuing additional $50+ million cost savings opportunity
