I weather complex fires, supply China. Fuller material working Wednesday,

understanding not people operations it really ahead just as really have the meetings complicated. And then and a these but us, Ours team. problem, which people, of think helps initiative, story is sourcing it's an execution it's I It's frontline but our of sourcing chain. more commercial getting working the and diverse, more supply

market think job I our differentiate through work. great right? really managing story, to to an an has these I companies, want just It's but chain COVID a and thank I a and done think good just this, are these it's opportunity execution really different we anybody, -- for times really don't So is there supply their and of of team problems for that outstanding have them,

had there. to containers. and In terms I products they're I few in ship a had the of line full a a and of supplier But international because the last same they time, up what's outside region, out we where build interesting in raw was one in we couldn't couldn't went happening the I weeks international the containers had inventories, get shipping and of was material Germany. because material of our shipping for warehouse it's idle Europe that they get waiting from because plant buffers that a factories X of one products, I inventory the at

this supply complexity shipping going about. in to customers that managing what the how we chain. come ahead, thinking really manage is aren't So is the containers all And the in

chains there But So cases I chains buffers can't I managing ship is that think in creates broadly you're especially and are little the speaking, and some are people would we have a in point shortages, manage. cases supply issue making say again, in supply up there pops have details. other manufacturers to to those material, because manage chemical tight, that and and disruption are any other,

Ghansham Panjabi

my parts. just it's Thanks sort X it. And that. question, then second of Got for for

everybody else, Your of obviously it a bit costs XXXX just price margins reflective are is and like below levels. quite

specifically expect as to you [Indiscernible] would John, So SG&A can in I -- more and I going expect a that wouldn't XX, percentage general be lower into maybe and XX

John Corkrean

Sure, yeah.

So think more I we probably would than that QX recognize look environment QX like say I will QX, manage and we but in QX SG&A got well. this to

Jim Owens

point of be down revenue, expect But and to a down. to it's your it we of percentage

Mike Harrison

less a you're bit sense conversations favorable a little competitive of question give because where but super those some getting or feel the customer from us you And factors. pricing pricing. that then isn't a of a guys right, number just response are how getting might there maybe now you be other little and going. pushed of a demand more areas dynamics, of customers, sure Maybe I'm that's or surcharge. a either easily about on increases dynamics where bit through helpful.

The are customers Mike. but us, by overall. by prices frustrated, right, what's other not and You're just materials to their happening

it is we the I have. price smoothly were standpoint and amount, not aggressive the increases part the follow think understand going needed. good others is happening what announced of speed on lots right? on the with from days the we've That's they in the Xst and view a pretty than of part in have into more but we that, future We September were did what's it since and we said from timing also with anymore, magnitude. a early I of ever year, And activity in seen market. the XX We've

chain. going So be manage this is they're to has to think supply have customers I to and truth it the manage done, their down it

happy, not So I point, there of our reaction's volume the dynamics. real approach. honest any size. while an are this think. understanding And of to hasn't been Most verbal of the on appreciate kind straightforward, impact up They customers appreciable

of proven, resilience think really is what environments. -- more going lots 'XX predicting challenging. in a we've is But getting Mike, So strong I

So is going less continue, going to demand, be to things abate. to is it going inflation demand, bigger

should from like that scenario and we're the we're XX% out stretch double-digit XX%. this started us. year various deliver our what We was to XX% think EBITDA to right find to is people a We're closer is XXXX. we're goal, goal I XX% there, the felt to Our We're things shareholders that's deliver to a growth with this that conditions. a way be showing. that going goal starting that I going can That's going so expect what think market with we're target, planning happening of target irrespective deliver in year and a
