Yeah.
You know, entertainment, sports ticketing.
They didn't do too well cinemas.
Yeah.
So our whole ticketing and entertainment vertical dropped 97%.
Our travel vertical dropped about 60 or 70%.
So they just got really badly hit.
And the great thing was we bought a business the year before in B2B, which is a company called OfferLogic, which we created our B2B vertical.
And our retail vertical had been really starting to fire beforehand.
And we'd been working on it a long time.
But then with the COVID hit, the retail vertical just took off, not just
natural organic growth, but all of our BD discussions and all of these incumbents that had to rely on e-commerce like now we really need to get our e-commerce proposition right.
So our new business pipeline went crazy.
We actually came out of COVID like way, way, way stronger than we went into COVID.
But at the start of COVID, it was kind of scary because some of our biggest verticals went completely offline effectively, you know, 97% decline.
So it's pretty much offline.
We finished 2020 just shy of 100 on actual basis, but it would have been about 135, 140 if you'd adjusted it for COVID.
It's about 55% if you adjust it all through or something in that sort of range.
About $55 million in gross profit last year.
$55 million just after $100 million.
