you way and how the issues that you landed that? you about fix ones can with can So, understand versus like me thought structural help

Mark L. Schiller

at Yeah. table. the is I What on point everything's say would this

I So, either. at this any haven't conclusions around drawn structure point

to is the thorough and have build from we do that what's working. now anything we what we think assessment a need and foundation what's are, pivot? includes I I'm where working, in P&L. of right everything strong where doing to do not a Where And

So, brands game and, brands everything that to it how have point the have I me commentary, on the has structural we for do. some TBD assess to some the and challenges, any So, as you momentum. with to some what this is do at great not how heard conclude point. or right? whether me you that.
