Impact of mix shift over time. The mix of our business amongst our Consumer and Enterprise segments shifts periodically, affecting our financial performance. We typically incur content costs in the form of a fee paid to our content creators, determined as a percentage of total revenue generated from their content.

We believe this change will improve learner outcomes by incentivizing our content creators to produce highly engaging content, drive adoption of learning innovation, and provide for the varied types of content we offer beyond courses.
