3.We note you distribute your content and advertising primarily through your owned and
operated ("O&O") platform and through screens on digital platforms owned and operated
by third parties referred to as Partner Platforms. Please explain to us and disclose in
further detail how you earn and recognize revenue and cost of revenue under each
arrangement. In particular, we note your cost of revenue for advertising sales on your
partner platforms business is higher than your cost of revenue for advertising sales on

arrangements and the reason for the significant revenue share. Explain to us and disclose
why the amount of the revenue share is not netted against the revenue you recognize and
the basis for your accounting. Additionally, you state you are able to share typical
transaction costs associated with related programmatic advertising sales and server costs
with such clients. Explain to us and disclose what this means and your accounting for
this, especially how the amount to share is determined.
