Cowen Our next and from Joe Co. from question comes Giordano

Joe Giordano

now between guidance. regional markets enter is as kind give shift Just and there? XXXX likely can a you where And the of to breakdown and kind like your of what of kind know you go of set through you those when happen of can want you Fabrication a think quickly. But movements to directional most next stand I lot

Matt Trerotola

and Yes. third touch focused and quarter down quarters zone even Sure we here. on what the to we as for markets expect margin in fourth year-over-year progress sure saw results still our mean the really good certainly in deliver stretch saw X healthy below Joe. And we're quarter in the be we a here markets next show year tougher you in a step-down strong the here. the a that I making

point range external of getting the at here do for terms into more next possibilities months year. give planning next next down next on got well That's point. and our certainly as we're you most Day industrial half the look this certainly you and at back as range those signals going how time markets the in in preparing to a December growth of next specific of the more constructive some at to But over signals signals if we positive and as of GDP be the kind We're year. kind to year work year. and of back the seeing we've of for some signals a external update an work things Yes, end few Investor of through

the far As North the both a Europe America specific as in regions and quarter. had step-down here

by places. other was step-down some Germany probably also driven effects most knock-on European the the think but heavily in I

of but thought as this about kind been On gain there. the other see we positive hand would through where little next a down tougher there. things there's year that a starting policy working But we is into Brazil down going see quite good India. engine this little and we lot some heading longer better right thoughts bit India middle the on everybody has the of to traction with of get year took year. to a move get some Brazil

still is in the not business bad. slow China And

is zone business either. not but Some China in up of ups a flow and in is the downs more more project-based there the bad

signals gain in close can and been to as as those progress we've and sure that we're show about and to we as the been cost continue sure finishes actions proactively make year market that that we margin we've we places making sure share we're we productivity to do thinking feel stay that be business. many And to year. going we're, up focused able drive in on to like this can So

Joe Giordano

next to that And operational seems And to you care medical I you I if mean there of? then is like just left have on you over at major least pretty if that guys standpoint quickly. shift talk typically comment an handle can take anything of it profile a in step-up year over year. the next the of X-quarter the big half that really you versus beginning of how the that can kind period? second Like about seasonal margin just year was on a looks

Matt Trerotola

Yes.

On also But the those the continuous the reimbursement fully on important we've some out getting the that worked of processes. hit stabilized. back-office got front operational of long the of and and in issues operational improvements just chain right had together but a processes we supply aspects gate we've not journey the to well very in in now then

will a And feeling but to definitely signal of of that year of we've and work do so made a mitigated. progress customer pain and the opportunity half talk about margin little about clear have lot of path. back can the has just we lot the time. down last real a better the this bit been work making and the beginning things over Chris some of Maybe year good there And now on gotten better a very

Chris Hix

which the less The the the the primary means in and of going think generally for we follows margins seasonal still average year fourth stronger third patterns business. to business to first in And Yes. margins typically quarter. and second sales profile margin margin and in the the quarter full that's we're the see relative driver performance

Our next Deutsche Nicole question from Bank. from comes DeBlase

Nicole DeBlase

being So one all are, selling it how you're uplifting this a you much maybe surprised cleanings easy this step those from I about guys X.X% you kind how we've know and XXXX on talked possible all toward like a starting the Is to to when of of bit items result you you're growth? with organic benefit DJO. X% day. year inventory I'm at already a that seen say quantify extra take Just, in X% quarter. to comps that going your are

benefits So year. flows could this it little of and next if into had kind how you a you talk about the maybe bit year

Matt Trerotola

fundamental and some we're the incremental the our that the about Day is of of year Yes. half when seen talk it going versus driver back what I is being improvement. But down year-to-date the tailwind say to I'd Nicole we'll see certainly get what we pretty that about darn next Investor year. specific we've at think

good forward that having in and better people take we've then underlying improvement we've the in in business of place inherent be I top been want but day step last next the And a off of sure that some in backed range kind growth easier to kind is been year. the tailwind fourth year head range. good the and to quarter this to the of a just But comp with tailwind is quarter understand a to little little going then make of, that a we that. need of that bit kind of I we're extra a in in and think on think and we a before some quarter

Nicole DeBlase

just then maybe And on FabTech.

bit guys you little that geographic in talked a So about business. like trends

If talk stabilization areas the bit And quarter? you in what that got could an if you've about little October if seen continued saw seen end-market during substantially a you've you or into worse trends? deterioration from perspective

Matt Trerotola

Yes. Sure.

the think to about everybody's participate how from it's, in an big think took mean supply automated, standpoint in end-market exposure got parts that automotive down We've I definitely down. step-down of do I talking pressure in we of the America that some and of but North little here automotive a quarter less kind in particularly Germany a some in other Europe. step Europe. to related was think And chain segment the I I some

X I of number think affecting pressure of broader industrial the the part well. tariffs from pressure that's some gas has American is under some in step-down quarter of the market there as the different And or segments. part North been oil and that's then there definitely a and last

some pretty been And of their reductions backlog significant changes. the segment about good public and yellow then finally has

Matt Trerotola

Yes.

I'd whether cost So America. up like varies first going thing is as even around down side still is world market-by-market in the in fact South the Joe or it say to coming on

little global but So the business any a is a not drop I'd definitely direction a net the kind for in down very say us there's as of wholesale there.

say in Chris kind you passing feel like to where benefit. Second in we're going of the where at But caught price thing up yes range I'd we're we don't if little bit journey a look longer-term getting getting the as from of kind to we're of, we're a cost range that need we're be profiting where to long-term the back. to of said

a that. for direct be steel markets sure about there we the, through world more sustainable be In in calls happens and to something manage that around make over make the other will But So of cases sure price comes we'll we pass-through proper that. as different cases how margin I pass-through some to think made the we that the and margin effect And we've progress. in time. is continue process making that down
