John Lovallo

questions. Hey, guys. taking my Thank for you

outlook that's a appears XQ. year-over-year The in margin points between XXX EBITDA basis that it, and XXX would points XXX quarter up, it and versus call XQ somewhere first imply one, your basis fourth

conservatism there. somewhat just was Or in there's the there inflated? So some curious, XXXX something if in XQ was that margin

Scott Cottrill

No, John.

on. spot You're

look pretty a the month that of you I so you'll be kind that's much we is think, at coming us bit our that being the guidance that, is of see we as and forth. variability can given little about see can what weary of there the quarter the quarter. significance half have, to given March fact And the -- up,

So so March nothing pressure think thinking. from wanting draconian that's in we that an it's a at that into big little that or embed us or quarter from our driver to inflationary is such performance, unusual I bit see weary a and cost for margin a there just coming being the perspective,

right So was leaving were ranges now. guidance course we the now, they the thought, right as prudent

Scott Barbour

And we them raised last...

Scott Cottrill

Prior.

Scott Barbour

the Prior And upper missiles what difficult, comparisons them costs point, get and that. Yes. more I end that's some is. any think out on don't raised but we resin we'll there. guiding to of this At see we not be

John Lovallo

Got it.

is, $XX that of And it that guide, guess, mistaken to there million there? CapEx is Okay. is, then the $XX going is the million million down correct? $XX from prior. something is is million Or timing? I'm first not to project if else $XXX And I if question on

Scott Cottrill

and is is right. and Absolutely go cash due it's It that all a couple billings down the when with manufacturers large door. the out going of to progress to

and of will versus going Feb/March. the right to April/May door So that's some be in the out out the door in going moved

John Lovallo

Okay, due in in really shift is you your project? that just to then guys is stabilizing? Mexico something public the the is to that private to efforts stabilization this great. -- Or really finally, market And that from happening is much mentioned

Scott Barbour

and think up don't -- I a order on to curve I the just new we stable, what that. it a might to we're gotten level think, last some or have several tried that's the more it's pivot the prior means months in rates we year like. at any comparisons easier and than have on But albeit feels -- applications.
