2.       You disclose "[w]e estimate that our adjusted backlog as of June 30,
2019 was
         approximately $1.3 billion, with 50% of revenue expected to be
recognized over the next
         three years. Our adjusted backlog includes backlog of $404.2 million,
which consists of
         $355.4 million of future revenue related to remaining performance
obligations and
         $48.8 million of contractual commitments, which have not been
invoiced, and
         $895.8 million of estimated future revenue from variable forecasted
royalties and hosted
         activity." Please disclose how you calculated the estimated $895.8
million of future
         revenue from variable forecasted royalties and hosted activity and
explain to us the basis
         for using estimated variable forecasted royalties and hosted activity
as part of adjusted
         backlog as they are not by nature firm backlog orders. In order to not
give undue
         prominence to this adjusted backlog measure please revise to disclose
your firm backlog
         first and your adjusted backlog measure second. In addition, disclose
your view of the
         reliability of past estimates and forecasts comprising adjusted
backlog. See Item
         101(c)(1)(viii) of Regulation S-K. Please also revise your disclosure
on pages 59 and 75,
         respectively.
3.       You reference on page 3 and page 59 that "shipments with Cerence
hybrid solutions ...
         grew approximately 46% year over year for the nine months ending June
30, 2019."
         Please explain how you calculate shipments with Cerence hybrid
solutions and provide
         the absolute shipments for these periods and from your last completed
fiscal year.
