I'm this the your was mentioned EBITDA guess revenue had wondering why you that gains hit million you and $XXX,XXX $X Why $X didn't your accounted about release in offset the your that for mentioned million the which fantastic. enough you originally I any than press change to you -- just guidance? So, how was to, of was higher pressure. you guided not to

a I didn't made trying sense. worse? to chain Sorry, bottom to that line line. pressure Just hope help mistake. top the I made supply related the that the Did on jumbling get outperformance understand

Patrick Noel Foley

made sense. Brian, that No

January yes, the the been [Indiscernible] time the margin quarters. lockdown impacts actually further also in delays continued see by So pressure shipping has improved Theres and did have seen we again. end the and Kohl's and and of freight of reached most as seeing increased and increases. we sectors. fuel China. in There we've with being were in the net February on we QX the

pressure So, that and we coming seeing through through our margin. are

Brian Kinstlinger

are generate bit all? more But order should pricing to everything not at your able for you to a make that profit. appropriate increasing, in the revenue is seems increase generating, return, It little you your

Patrick Noel Foley

Absolutely, doing Brian, Yes. we so that. are

-committed of were So, pricing one some we is of previous delivering as orders that but we we pre pricing. increased have the move on forward key things though the were

committed they orders. QX, they on through So were were sold to the into that's why and previously released -- in market prices

So will 'XX. again, the margin we through see improvement that progress through we as

Brian Kinstlinger

then about one, estimate talk Okay. at. million the it second $XX in And at delays is you my in the the regards I'm I've got to looking if quarter,

it where the Is customers? many EMEA? Is that it from? what is few it it these then coming Is U.S.? So customers? led to delays? Is a And just

Patrick Noel Foley

Yes.

So, I can --

Michael Pope

[Indiscernible]

Patrick Noel Foley

Yes.

in what China. So are called basically, that we supply have, the IFPDs Brian, chain in manufacturers

delay. lockdowns, So, shipped getting and actually has sourcing there the them components the with been manufacturing

that's actually see the So to the of impact that turn receipts what QX to the is goods fulfill of will able be the orders.

from the So, orders. in and it to some that just in timings because generally a delay of into production will QX those markets will it slip it'll be kind come it's QX of one many be of early for supply. actually And

Brian Kinstlinger

then from and XQ -- still some some orders I Yes. of million? guess pushed to are my question and out orders be, $XXX XQ, that's XQ to assume I assume XQ at so pushed Probably would comfortable things you going back up up from why to XQ. as get make similar some you'll I

understand trying [Indiscernible]. guess the I'm So, issue just to I

Patrick Noel Foley

a should short-term hopefully thing. it So, timing be

know, of shipments China, You as but all inside auction where closed. we have the it's but currently been were obviously so impacted seeing ports lockdowns also factory

that the products X QX timely that land ordinarily effect knock-on So the basis has of QX. in would in and

So, they beyond. should that resolve see as out, we normalize

Brian Kinstlinger

question. Last

jumped I depending mean, the up of I when XX% of assume guidance, In get we usually on pushed orders but, terms year? the and this is It's seasonally quarter revenue strong, the that's believe. September guidance revenue down should

Michael Pope

Brian. Yes

it's of There QX. We talked revenue. as you some core but think of XX% definitely that from we look, haven't if north shifting QX is I a and about specifically historically, guided yeah, total
