1. A NEW PRODUCT OFFERING | By launching PPV, we've unlocked the capabilities to start offering one-time purchases on Hulu. Laying the groundwork for this new purchase offering has huge potential to expand what purchases within Hulu can be made.

2. $40M IN ANNUAL REV | This new partnership with ESPN+ PPV events is estimated to generate $40M in annual revenue for Hulu.

3. DECREASE IN PURCHASE FRAUD | With the launch of PPV, we also designed and shipped a new feature to provide two-factor authentication for in-app purchases on connected devices and web. This is estimated to reduce purchase fraud across shared accounts & ultimately reduce the number of customer service calls Hulu receives.
