things Michael, so just little kind bit. of simplifying a

multifamily How track X of in And the forward are about through much on based and year? the how end in core the heard and the those But ones, As trends the the markets, aside. so retail X your certainly speaking, the those those do those guidance rest and quarter? quarter we think looking? there side, been markets weaker think through in trends core cadence residential core how nonresidential the can has in traditional we as the the side, more about we you change the things thinking as the leave broadly markets, look conversations the for side through your

D. Barbour

Michael, right. is and and you All probably then some insight give And Mike Barbour. you this too. might Scott Higgins give I'll some,

really gain All and behaving Allied grow it order the well, that -- of think let's nonresidential. let's way a quarters, things that, the months. very the to has over, behaving we service to with similar is Geographically, and what And has mean let's start share as doing the last there. few engineering last X similar products And the kind Tech we I the past it's to pace several other like that? for to I areas Storm as design at quarters X that. work we X say, That's that, where do And the do behaving So around continue today quite we activity. or that say. it it's by Southeast, been look Florida, are continue

So that's nonresidential the picture. kind of

this Now watched like we've a hawk.

while, projects Southeast or over the in We next insights are asking going. right to and on how This will up now. are catch things constantly work my soon trying rainfall get those heavy as for isn't slow a of down -- In gone. Florida days -- kind these the thing. my in that about questions That but

is to On is at pretty up residential, the retail land the a the sales but are multifamily development pace. continue good picked segments and move and negative, that pipe you negative, to darn business decent Infiltrator

We it X steady, of they been as any kind It's right are steady, don't kind but watching major orders behaving recessionary outlook. see we we're in at as always, how look we said, now, kind of That and cautious. forward big that's in terms So initiatives. steady, this. those Things thing in us. watch of of behaving coming have

Michael Halloran

a of is lot makes sense. something then And there That sorry? else,

D. Barbour

take to you missed to going it wanted I as No, see if I was it. to add

Michael Higgins

focus X are well. by the on No, the these about I past say, the when a Scott sums just or U.S. hey, says, up now for Scott would highly we've kind which to, of And Mike, long it hey, is time I things years very half priority X our geography. in talked go of lower states, variable

and half forward-looking We continue them further, strength some the been nonres, maybe in of in expansionary. indicators And both res to of deteriorating why any the flattish past now. months. they good U.S. the not what the we're business, lower of not X over see feel have kind of look to and they've on about the It's They're clearly seeing And watch like looked part we a we right big that. but X

Michael Halloran

No, helps. the on clarification piece. then And that just a weather

But other just quarters, headwind the course other weather It impact just fiscal the timing impacts second the shipments out in don't of quarter, last weather And a doesn't be in from see the first this So a there ag these might verticals. were when first perspective year, might was like X punchline as quarter. quarter move quarter fiscal you're little if headwinds. much over the a first some you of here, saying the of out that an bit. you smooth go basically sound

D. Barbour

all and like was business, down ag it. true like don't I the But good. in mean of definitely and to sentiment impacted piece, that weather like certainly weather a is res. income that. country is our something really XXX% part all something Farm not The certainly, is on nonres the hard That's I or it that. Minnesota and in ag the XX% we stuff mean the I felt blame in that.

move like could season, -- to we that that. our around and plans working another we're So

a as right. But other in What out. speak the in you're kind right XXX% its we and Georgia markets, off-line there's way with Houston and it's in stuff market, of what happened mean, This our is smooths a biggest -- Carolinas And and Florida. huge for By power happened the That's and that happening Houston, no a pipe way, hurts. big market. I like with the week.

it. overcame We So we grew taxes. in

Michael Higgins

up construction We clearly, whether the that we, quarter despite us end it outside, said for modestly why can us for won't quarter Texas impact a and were that's installed in I markets. we've And think the there's necessarily it's product Yes. weather. because delivered rack for

quickly the week, And so going days, adverse that moving pick for while up. but that Florida some people in about impact results. probably on we have don't back be Southeast, through down the a negative questions slow And will a storm us to the of there's couple will major again, think

Michael Halloran

as mean I comments it's Scott guidance, the in already seeds overall embedded on XQ as well right?

D. Barbour

all Exactly, yes, together. it ties

comes question Your next Matthew Bouley with Barclays. from

Matthew Bouley

down of kind So jumping guide. that into

you I if flattish think, Scott, heard I second mentioned would correctly. year-over-year, see margins quarter that you the

mean, also that So of second starting that with neutral? that your is and there? cost QX to as mean price could does investments you the kind if bridge, I'm half flow closer And into I I play curious to How costs? with get that transportation unpack would

Scott Cottrill

Matt. Yes,

was, the we that agriculture It's you market XX% down make QX. and in of of of see or year-over-year when being lot moving I and wanted that a phasing look why important and moving lowest market. comment our the how that into profitability kind to think end the some we at

there's impact there. So an

talked and run that our largely had We've flat of cost about being with price last pricing, we've the year. kind rate

same now we impact we're you sales there. the mix percentage thing seeing agriculture kind of of still -- predict when that agricultural So again, QX, of that negate higher in the

we're So that's kind at. of where

do in in top what kind the than in to still first QX So the we revenue the with much expect being like first line, prior And to the continue more quarter. see again, saw the we of number margins QX, in comparable quarter. year saw and we on what

tried some clarity to there. I add So

about Again, systems side improve that fact processes, the the customer we and investing lot are talked of On transportation house, we a the in service.

the to One of right product it at get the be needed place was time. there and includes where the that inventory at our right help to the having pieces right

and pipe effort of lot where be, right the regions and get into to construction a to entering this spent needed season. investment we So it in time the

the So that sheet as it. costs and on there transportation we sitting into released was coming balance year our more saw

move we'll we year transportation the as that be increased of right get is costs now. it that So And Part be we is bit year-over-year. where and a of little through right versus part can related customer demand to the making the expect to again, service. elevated diameters the in to sure needs pipe right

So that's It's in embedded. our forecast.

from Lovallo comes next question Your with UBS. John

John Lovallo

here The the price mix first one materials. is on just

I think for first be worse was the the that in expectation to quarter.

we next expectation million that the the quarters. couple as not of headwind, hit as into of $XX that much that, a is be So forward will move

And transportation might of then price correctly, for plan along the the sort offset seems to the remember not same case negative deflation be I lines, was cost like I thought if now. that

want a communication there change better is understand of I little to So bit that. just in there?

Scott Cottrill

Yes.

So the part again, of me thought we into John, second little with might think more on would than largely thought the I in the what say going be transportation take question, first. a side, we what cost there let I aligned bit the managing the than what again, see I'd we're other actually that at manufacturing house through. year. bit the into something coming or of But thought the what side, say year on is as we the on side little we a better well.

the right So you're way. that about thinking I think

have been we largely aligned of we talked talking sequentially, last see our as cost half we mix On percentage on in back of side the markets. The a from be house, total will coming aligned the largely quarter by we saw what in related higher sales agriculture, mentioned we've call. like the you'll yields those with there that only of second impact like about, to refer yes, the to piece pricing, year. We've price our the in the

So that us. monitoring the in there thing and of that we'll be front only keeping will be

John Lovallo

into gross digging helpful. The Okay. strong And Infiltrator was at XX.X%. the then gross really margins. That's maybe margin

then Allied of XXX, higher sequentially kind And bit was driving I was think a year-over-year was sales. year-over-year. and that call quarter-over-quarter that? conversely, despite up, both and Products, down What points, basis XXX it,

So any color there would be helpful.
