Point out

IDIOM: Point something out

We use this expression when we want to show or talk about something so that others will notice it or become aware of it:

The teacher pointed out that I had made some spelling mistakes in my homework.
My friend pointed out that I am often late!

In business, we use this quite often in presentations:

'I'd like to point out that sales are improving considerably in Asia.'
'I'd like to point out that there are some problems in the report.'
'I hate to point out the obvious, but if we don't change something very soon, we will lose the client.'
