Sure, Maggie. So first and foremost, the health and safety of our employees is paramount, and we will do everything that is possibly necessary to ensure the health and safety of our employees. Our employees recognize that, and they see that to be a great trust factor and loyalty factor between our employees and the company. In terms of some of the change that's taking place, we are actually investing heavily in terms of reskilling our employees, upskilling our employees and creating the right kind of an environment for them to be able to take on greater responsibilities, work on much more complex products and solutions and enhance their careers as they continue to work with EXL.
The attrition rate in the second quarter has picked up from the first quarter. But as you know, that is a very normal practice given the fact that we have salary increments that take place on first of April for a majority of our workforce, and we typically will see a higher attrition rate in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter. I think the real issue is about the ability to source talent and develop talent for being able to manage the growth expectations of our clients and some of the work that we are signing up with our clients as we go forward.
We are very, very confident about the brand that we have built with our employee base of being able to attract the best talent, develop the talent internally and to be able to meet the growth aspirations of our clients, of EXL and our employees at the same time. So we think we are in a period where there will be an ability to match the growing demands from our clients and match that with the talent side.

Yeah. What I would say is that don't take our comments on not updating the guidance on Battlefield in any way as a negative. It is -- we ultimately expose the world to Battlefield later than we normally would do. Normally, we do it through early June, E3, or maybe even earlier than that, and we did it in early July.
So we're trying to make sure we pace the disclosure about what's in the game to people and then measure our demand off of that. But we're feeling very, very positive about it. And we wouldn't have raised our full-year guidance if we didn't feel that was a potential for us, and I think it's an upside for the company longer term during the year. You're going to hear a lot more over the next couple of months about Battlefield live services, in-game monetization, and so forth.
I can't tell you all that now, but trust that the team is working very hard on this, and they have some very unique ideas about what we can continue to do, as Andrew just said, to create this as a long-term interaction with our consumers versus simply selling a game this year. And we want to build a long-term relationship as we have with Battlefield users for a long time. Portal is a perfect example of how that works, and you'll see more of that and more details about that over the next couple of months.

We've had some additional orders subsequent to the quarter, pretty good orders, from existing customers. So we're starting to see that come back. The airlines are way more in control of that. But we're obviously a follower of that.
So we have some models, some high and low and mid-models. But I think it's going to be -- I don't think you'll see a lot of input until -- a lot of increase until we get past a certain point just in terms of vaccinations in that. But we're seeing it come back for sure. And I think on the consumer residential broadband side, Mark, you might want to chime in here, but I think we're -- you saw a little bit of -- we're not seeing a slowdown of demand.
What we're seeing is people upgrade. They're choosing to upgrade services and expect that to actually slow a little bit as well. And so we're making trades for higher and upgraded plans for subscribers in some of those areas while preserving capacity in all those markets for IFC growth. So we'll make a trade.
We'll probably see slight reductions in subscribers for a little while. We've got some ideas and things we're trying that could offset that. But I wouldn't want you guys to put that in your models here in the near term. So we have some ideas on how to improve it.
But for right now, I think we expect some continued slight decline in subs.

Yeah, great, thanks very much. This is Pat. So let me try to handle that from a commercial standpoint. So as you mentioned, containerboard is a pretty good understanding of that.
And majority of the corrugated box and containerboard is linked to PPW and pass us through in three to four months, as we've indicated in the past. Consumer is a bit more complicated because of the number of substrates and the different routes to market or different integration levels across those different substrates. And so we use a number of different value capture and pricing mechanisms in the consumer segment. In aggregate, I can say about half of that is tied to PPW, and those flow through in different time periods.
The other models, pricing models are based on cost, and also a fair amount of open market, which gives us quite a bit of flexibility. And so the way we think about pricing overall is that it's just the price and the lag and the type of model that we have is just part of the overall value capture and negotiation and discussion with the customer. As far as timing is concerned, we start flowing through and you can see some of this starting in the third quarter and more in the fourth quarter, and as Ward indicated, accelerating into fiscal-year '22, we start to see that right away. It will ramp up, and it's really based on a previously published price increase.
It's usually about six to nine months for that all to flow through. But again, it doesn't wait for the six to nine months. It's flowing through and it will continue. In our case, with the published price increases to date, it will continue to flow through into fiscal-year '22.

I would not -- I would say on both, right? We've kind of -- and I again mentioned that we have been applying specific emphasis on in-force and you can the robust growth that we have been able to deliver in quarter 2, 16% in quarter two of this year. But you would also have to combine that with new business gain momentum as well, which as you know, is going to be highly correlated to new business sales volumes, as I alluded earlier as well. And that's where the importance on ensuring that the distribution is kind of lined up. Your growth drivers are kind of pretty much in order is going to be a key emphasis for us. So I guess it's going to be both across EPIF as well as new business gain.

All right, Scott, the ViewSpot guidance that I gave was 5% to 10% greater than the first quarter. The deferred revenue impact that I discussed was about 600,000. And the last question, so as we look forward here, we're going to be looking at Family Safety, which will include multiple products, our product portfolio now, which includes the purchase Avast product and the SafePath product. So we will be talking about that revenue in total.
And the guidance I gave and the outlook I gave for that was a 70% to 75% growth on top of the first quarter's revenues.

Yes, sure. So we didn't give a specific unit guidance for Q4, we did get a revenue range which is slightly a slight uptick from Q3. If you look at going in the run rate, what's important to note is we have clearly been able to man our installed capacity to be able to come out of the gate in Q1 of 2022 and hit the guidance that we laid out. And we are running faster today than we were earlier in the year. If you just allocate out and normalize where we were first half, step it up in the second half and then take it into Q1 of 2022, you'll see we've done some of the hard work already. But there's obviously in our implied guidance we gave for 2022, we're nowhere near some of the run rates we would have seen in 2018 and 2019 from a unit count perspective and that's the upside that still exists if the supply chain improved. So we are basically baking in. We have visibility, obviously, on the demand side with our backlog of $1.9 billion. We have the demand and backlog surety to hit the rates. And we've maintained some conservatives around the supply chain. But I think the other point is that we do have the installed manpower to do what we need to do at those run rates in 2022.

No, I mean, Doug, great question. And you'll have to just wait until we get things finally approved for us to really dive in and give any -- a lot of details on it. But I'll just say, we -- stepping back, it's a holistic approach. This is something that will be good for Egypt.
We've looked at things very carefully. This has been a process that has been very lengthy and very thorough and very comprehensive. And it really is in line with the minister's objective of modernizing the oilfield in Egypt. And I think it's going to have some benefits that's going to enable us to direct more dollars into the drilling programs and into the volumes, which are going to generate more revenue.
And so we've got a deep inventory. We're seeing good early results off of the seismic with the Hadid announcement that we had this -- within the supplement this go-around. So we're excited about Egypt. And quite frankly, this really puts us in a position where we can fund some projects that are ready to go.

Super. Thank you, operator, and thanks to all of our analysts, as always, for the good questions. Obviously, we appreciate everyone's support, and again, thank you for making time to participate in today's call. On the investor relations front, I did want to note that we're going to be presenting at the Craig-Hallum Capital Group Investor Conference tomorrow on June 2.
And then also with the Stifel Virtual Cross Sector Insight Conference on June 8, 2021. If you're participating in either of those conferences, please schedule a visit with us. We'd love to talk to you. And in the meantime, we look forward to updating you again on our continued progress when we report our fiscal 2022 first-quarter results.
With that, that concludes today's call. Thanks again, everyone.

Thanks, Mike. I mean maybe Corey and I can tag team this for a second. I mean our strategy is to be the leading global provider dedicated full customer spectrum from the service providers, all of the hyperscalers to the enterprise customer. I think we've certainly demonstrated a pretty solid and consistent track record on the first leg of that stool with your, call it, top five CSP having 20, 25, 30 different locations with us on average, depending on the specific name.
And that value prop of our land and expand and future-proof their runway for growth, that operational expertise to the highest demands. Certainly proud of that, and you've seen the success in our results. But I think going after and supporting the enterprise is a place we've been investing in just as much over the last several years on a multifaceted front, certainly in terms of the critical pieces of the business we've acquired, putting the puzzle pieces together of the rightmost connectivity rich destinations, but also on many of the things both Chris and Corey have been, call it, driving here for digital for some time. So I'll let them speak to that a little bit as well.

We are. Thanks for the question. Appreciate it. So, as you know, we have about 100,000 companies in total that we sell to that we think is our end market and that falls under four key segments that we sell into life sciences like biopharma, medical devices, healthcare IT, healthcare providers and then the whole group of diversified companies that sell to many industries where healthcare is a really important industry for them and they realize they need a specific intelligence.
In all cases, we are not only expanding markets that we sell into, for example, we didn't really sell to providers three years ago, but as we have innovated that's now a great growing market for us, but within the clients that we are selling into were continue to expand as well. So for example, in biopharma, we increasingly sell into medical affairs and market access, whereas three, four years ago, we sold mostly in the commercial. So for us continue to innovate and solve more business problems for our clients is absolutely essential and that continues to expand the markets that we sell into and our ability to penetrate deeply within our existing clients.

I think it's hard to tell whether the stimulus impacted February. The fact is, as we stated as traffic has been down. And the shopping is not back to normal yet and our conversion is really healthy. As Mike said an industrywide, I mean the traffic has been off.
Still significantly off, and I think it's going to be a while before you see traffic started to normalize. So I think that's a bigger challenge and certainly, the tax refunds and the stimulus should help in terms of driving sales.

I haven't heard that. I think tenants are always looking for flexibility. We're in the long-term leasing business. We're not in the flex workspace business.
It's typical in a recession that tenants tend to go shorter on the leases, and we've seen that. We've seen that in every cycle. When the economy is doing great, tenants feel more comfortable signing longer term and vice versa. So that's been true, but we're not -- we're not offering anything that resembles select workspace.
So --

Good question. I think -- and when it comes to share repurchase, it's just as simple as we currently see more opportunities, so we're really excited that to deploy capital for growth to grow the company. And that's our keen focus right now.

Yes.OK. OK. Perfect. And just one final question as well on RADSee.
Should we expect more investments in the -- in the automotive sector? Dubious, this becomes maybe an area where you see synergies and an opportunity for growth, or -- or strategically, how should we view this initial investment in terms of your longer-term goals?
Look, we are looking around for synergistic opportunities around the technology first not the market because there -- there are not too many companies that are involved in the defense market like ours. And they -- they are typically bigger than us. So, we are looking for growth around the technology and synergy -- synergy in the technology -- technological approach and innovation, and so on. So -- so, the -- the automotive -- automotive market is the first one and there are some adjustments in markets as well maybe, you know, the security markets and others.
You can find radar technologies today which are available and -- and do what was not, you know, done new in -- in the past because of prices. You can -- you can see them in other places as well. So, we are -- we are working around the core area of -- of the technology.

Yeah. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for taking my question. So the first question is, and I think Jim Sheehan kind of referred to some of this, but can you talk a little bit about hog supplies? We're not going to see a huge increase of production this year. These higher grain prices probably are disincentive, yet we have hog prices -- live prices well over $100, $100 right now. Supply constraints on your biggest raw material, is that a possibility going forward here? And it looks like grain prices could be high for a while. So, how do you look at maybe the next couple of years just -- not just this year but maybe next in terms of hog production in the U.S.? And what our farmers doing out there?

Yes, I would expect that we would, given that we will have a delayed impact of our August 1 price increase more hitting that September timeframe. So, yes, that's how I would see it.

No. And it's related to that, Robin. So we aren't giving formal guidance overall. But I think one of the things that I would reiterate is when you take a look at the growth of those key revenue segments, what I talked about in the prepared remarks is something that we are comfortable guiding to, which is the fact that that growth we expect to accelerate into 2021. So those revenue intense segments grew at about 1.8%. We expect to see a pickup in that in 2021.
Overall, the economy segment, you're seeing very similar trends across the industry and that's been the segment that has just a little bit more pressure from a termination perspective. That's just the nature of those contracts being less sticky and you expect to see those trends continue as well. But again just where we're focused as a company and just where our -- the vast majority of our revenue sits in that mid-scale, extended stay and upscale segment, we feel very comfortable about the fact that that unit growth is expected to accelerate in 2021.
