Global Blue synergies expected at 50 million exiting year

Shift4 expects Global Blue to exit the year with 50 million of annualized synergies, toward the 70 million target. Fourth-quarter subscription and other revenue pressure was 25 to 30 million, including deferred European commercial initiatives.

I think the concept of Shift4 delivering, continuing to kind of abide by the cultural values, you know, get flat, stay flat, delete the parts, all very much alive and well in how we approach integration of acquisitions and having a real discipline around it. Okay. So I think you said you've talked about 50 million of those synergies exiting 2027, the remainder pushed out to 2028. So actually, one clarifying point. So what we talked about at the time of earnings was that we anticipate exiting the year at 50 million of annualized synergies, well on our way to the 70 million target. And the part that you're probably most focused on inside of this question, which really is a question about the Timing versus permanent change in the 25 to 30 million associated with the subscription and other types of revenues, right? That's why we refer to it as the deferral of commercial initiatives in the European markets. Open the document at this passage
