Q&A Session Summary Question: Can you talk about the second quarter sales guidance expecting it to be flattish versus Q1? - Management expects Q2 to be roughly flat to up slightly compared to Q1 due to ongoing economic pressures and overall gaming market weakness, with a positive growth rate anticipated starting in Q3 [58][59]. Question: Can you discuss the business dynamics in Europe given the current consumer confidence? - The European market has fared somewhat better year-over-year, but concerns about inflation and the war are leading to cautious consumer spending, which may create pent-up demand [64][68]. Question: Can you elaborate on the elevated inventory levels and ASPs of those products? - The increase in inventory is driven by longer shipping times and higher targeted weeks of supply due to supply chain disruptions, reflecting the overall portfolio rather than specific products [69].
