Douglas Pertz

quarter last since spoke in the cycles. generally, year the these has and results, and first changed we it's the And year U.S., in the that are usually about done then. latter quarter part materially fourth in nothing in the Tobey in of

think markets. be where consistent increases been I and had labor we reiterate, we only to specific pushed me not nice nothing very were ago, where of least very some is key various were, which of and in had to quarter some consistent the price continue nice comparison pleased, has in those the with and materially that pricing first up our that with our but changed has since cost let of at been, markets, years So, the But we're as quarter. in that up and several cycle going fourth

is which go is other this question price of as increases we see seeing beginning France, which your In throughout is, first we start quarter to have seen the they're impact there, year. we'll the year. but some just in more some that of possible, And

Tobey Sommer

looked market much. very existing the win how share over the company's existing particularly years do Thank share obviously envision customer that your positioned you that several changed market to you acquisitions, and think, evolving next If next absent the is CIT the business, few years? company which businesses, we've you its at markets in things, the over the performance but is such operational

Douglas Pertz

in That example I U.S. a into Tobey, announcement market share share the think the that account is Well, made share. additional of great we account translates of that that.

And the that's think case. do so I like,

customer our the for. more fewer beginning customers that looking our that means our we're at better operational meeting metrics plan today, the We needs better improving focused That it assuring errors, means the through it of delivery, But our margins. meeting are in period through started we on-time means to on customer, the strategic XXXX this are and of improve and meeting that importantly, excellence.

yet. seen We've improvements significant that. not We're there with

level but as our should as But you -- a the culture, In because is to with evolve and fact, never our and and to to gains And customers. they’re we operations to leverage, our continuing see importantly, of And that our what the need making what would we continue not more with continues get that we better. for I continue suggest and do an margins always there share it customers. to of are that example only next that to gain account to be that do starting EFIs, will probably improve business. get difference

part well do make then, say, Now something How this? we leveraging to do stop? and X.X do than as that different it's differently? How this taking we CIT strategy just tech-enable as that how do stay pure of our it we

Tobey Sommer

maybe Investor are still Right. you me. question, the sense It housekeeping Day makes one. this to or of approximate able thinking will we year? when perhaps next be half a kind point, back And to are, last At early

Douglas Pertz

The last is your right. of probably sentence part

a We with out year. come back will less, or early I probably, something this year, half don't next in know but of quarter

Hi. morning, with morning. gentlemen. questions. Thanks for Starting taking Good synergies. my Good Dunbar and

where was coming wanted I changed and additional what versus the basically, So expectations, your what's to are understand synergies from?

And process now you've been acquisitions. in the of of quite lot a

the lot integrations well. of through a as been you've quite process So, of

integrating in-house some template developed you capability have or understand, for to acquisitions. a wanted I So,

maybe out going that's we X can question. synergies higher multiple more to when acquisitions your slightly of you're So pay So, to for extract look X a forward, because times prepared it? you my first than

it briefly. margins, second the is bit you a on about about question talked And LATAM

points reported year-on-year, Argentinian the FX. basis XX despite So, improvement

strong in is countries. masking that quite improvements lot think I of underlying a other some

about individually margin on what's you you. in Thank efficiency of what's is progression happening What’s there? happening talk countries, if driving front? some to So, your those could its other volumes, operational the

Douglas Pertz

one regarding your take first let Dunbar. Ashish me

are the I said we've progress made. pleased, as We earlier about

where want more to our be than U.S. of the to size and to importance other because going we the think country obviously, business any and and overall the I focus with any other

Dunbar we So, a project sophisticated more on larger, acquisition. have resources the management team and

that. prototype a is good So, it for probably

focus what need with the that positive time, we an if what's at needed missteps other associated learned and do that, use acquisitions. what not from and systems as that prior we systems of we to timing and what same should learn will we've example However, or other integrating from you as the do to acquisitions as to we that as be and of needs be other integration sort the we

the and U.S. specifics I on learned won't get that. into we've some But

I benefiting that. is think some from of

that’s quarter confident at will past out we meet comfortable based in were doing. that are things with be to have here laid what we we we So why laid on able that all and what is the we're out the those the numbers the that exceed forward going least and stating publicly or

we're acquisitions trying there how question as how getting basis. I additional the us We'll going on post-synergy better the businesses that and think to is and on gets much evaluate number years geographies over in in synergies. the core suggest we to be overpay or template we for of target with course core to that core, synergies a our So, post-synergy to look is seven for evolve future get it's is hopes, much so that adjacent that that is doesn't any we’re that’s a still more at acquisition the and and and going

That's really company will how parameters the will we to that as hopefully continue we'll be think do and them. different basic be going acquisitions I that, those the to hit continue better see evaluate, forward and at additional and we'll but from still past,

Ronald Domanico

the deeper our we've release I as in of continuing his In initiatives Lean comments a competitive also intense tell countries. and on in in the in effect wider to initiatives and it positive the the and those margins been each impact because we Strategy will rollout having margins Latin were the not discussed Doug our America, you country-by-country of operations environment. are that typically very rollout successful of with do is X.X a

review where basis, services released that. which really are app, and around that provide technology the You a with it’s which on customers countries which called app know together the is we've app, them their to track is Brink's real-time in trace to we our XX/X allows our tied many

part you small larger way the of all integrating store our is a from through be suggesting and the to putting will basis evolve technologies money enterprise by POS the vault. total this on processing the pieces if customer with the together the all to to operations that our till wide like will the you're So way from anywhere customer

the provide to we value well customers and stay are as that as to that customers do greater So as this value today, and and reach we industry a that's next more the adding launch development opportunity later of year, other the variety direction for today. is providing year. our targeting that that tuned wide of our or greater think reach and uninvented we objective benefits work challenge, this doesn't or That’s that’s that starting we

Jeff Kessler

for be how to you. of but facilitated down of many Services, Thank thinking going end the and years, to types I many a portion know flat specifics how the number of diamonds high were since you Services Global Okay. a that want was slightly goods and into being of because by Global other get cannabis I'm of transported? or is business, don't that

may a that what the to been could you wondering see -- the role as you I'm speak value not little Services bit going tarnished, proposition Global and of if I'm to say growing What Global you? Services, a do margin since for while. for Global you a the really use business increase that wasn't high Services can fact to of the the but it's

Douglas Pertz

BGS So grow business too grow let precious correct there jewelry they swings if globe so and and things. is is don't a we do there if much in and Services me Global that the forth, from year. diamond couple Jeff, did see throughout stability see last -- not swings, do grow much in you’re year, the those did metals last we as as a year-to-date,

paint you am as I did. as I it not would sure dire So,

of industry On what like really is I something I offering positioned that at raw be the uniquely Canada, positioned think is our to blend as as we significant nobody in to the you with is cash and the there haul other transportation the finished in partner together which on else in do overall uniquely can Canada. side business do well do BGS for of we're that because look both with the component a our that will product distribution product cannabis services, trucks, think our the side, that the and management as long particularly we with

far. Canada solution. And standpoint, from cash focus the That's that can so great with that's offer been kind that's together we management primary unique a that of so then our and services, coupling and

reality. see Act now And and as Senate to in we we'll the Safe get that opportunity become is an know, you probably hope to Banking hearings,

then the U.S. resources U.S. the marijuana we business cannabis apply word -- don't for set have legalized as what purposes, well will federal the the banks then know that which federally that those allow in is, chartered So aside laws recreational for will right I states be but as those to have who of able in sorts it be to that include capabilities U.S., those we'd same that us and be put support and the which and strong to with would involved the

the We do we and all that. to that in we plan, that don't be laws U.S. don't the comply We'll have goes, today, see ready certainly participate in we'll with that where and in the

Jeff Kessler

about Asia have much it's that's question Okay. Is a discussion there company. competition out final a it, in you One obviously the because each Pac, small portion been country. and not has - every and there, of about, there

is, adjust what job that what for obviously in spectacular you're you've - where a priorities the had you've expanding - And America Asia you've obviously South in and is essentially, Pac and expanding done North in to and question Mexico your had focus your to long-term investors. America, you're in views toward the

the priority, what over is, you there? So, I or strategic guess your question your that what see is is opportunity

Douglas Pertz

great think Asia I strong market a a for and cash Asia Pac we Well, in BGS both is Pac. have BGS, business for

number Asia, a in think the usage in of have ground, with currently but we limited strong for the opportunity it's in we We on business are that markets. growth those the a great countries and cash cash in market

If to acquisition the that. opportunity we do will organic we through or have grow through either domestically growth,

well. personally the as more there. it's we great platform. area think a I love like do to So, We

it's think certainly we're hopefully not with we'll I So, that, see focused. that more but one

of exclusion the Asia Pacific. at is Another

Jeff Kessler

Are with out want looking call will like that out new you new one and call finally, that coming to have to or it, The you chassis. want iterations question there. something cab that? you new that cab on are any X.X quick it you Okay, at there chassis it, take the chassis

Douglas Pertz

with there it. two think is I associated Well, things

them local other have in a suppliers U.S. of sort ensure design potential but similar with out that One particular, help additional is started countries we similar content that intent, us we in design, and an that of objective the with what for will to a for

Canada, or facilitate be other or countries. those That of will that'd the potential countries, done, which then Mexico reduction in whether manning additional we've already

one piece. that's So

in technology the that. we provide locations some for that to messengers better to for with safer developing us piece it customers with our end to partners with well second but drive our Including environment drivers, and better and other up the working video, will additional employees, as technology, continued hopefully The to well. associated U.S. technology and other new additions a with as is are that, technology capabilities AI our

on. forward part safety really we that in be call and our to So, improve efficiency continue which ability I things forward. both our push obviously, will strategic the costs to only and wider reduce not going improve of but And give us next those of deeper our will plan
