seeing? to terms bright guidance Just are to difficult there it at first particular is in weak demand give appreciate far question you give forward-looking us changing, and I of so sort been are out some possible are have what and sense things any spots of when fluid how but trends spots and it's or volume in April all so of

Matt Missad

out there. that some I Yes, a to that's we'll Ketan, think to are question, standards point try good objective and

that you and the before, is as there has in would are a I Industrial also So been that and that on spot what doing, say, And can operating - side, called say time. of we obviously on as are mentioned compared bright like, the businesses out to, retailers certainly the keep I there would a an Retail, this fewer example. for we eye

that's side, middle been somewhere to it's this impacted. close impact been where on obviously, deemed the and it's usual, at again point where business non-essential, Industrial in bigger and on as it's Construction the fairly then So the it's essential,

color little but. a you bit gives that hopefully better So

Ketan Mamtora

April all the No, at kind Industrial has is on it quantify so And been that's side, far? helpful. how Matt, to of possible

Matt Missad

that and really is, I Ketan, want we possible, negative. view, either look or it more we that as good the anyone should don't think is of kind at the We have, challenge what wrong think, it it's a for forward. I more indicator take be it's obviously, positive going whether to

So I challenge. think that's the

at available look get customer a can pretty are what is markets ones do that again And those a out think we more about are still a trying there, like take information suffer which like. little going bit end strong. called to out based types which and look good So you remaining are what markets to look what we the idea and on

Ketan Mamtora

to you give of Okay, are XXXX, of switching for And what defer just you in some how think and that's buckets case any is kind discretionary $XX could just which then core within sense CapEx big sort of CapEx to were that sort fair. things - of us there of the million, worsen. maintenance expense

Matt Missad

out of and still you efficiency can maintenance call But, address it Mike, is amount that I'll the of there in the the piece what let and of spend Mike of a maintenance? would is guess, remaining kind kind manufacturing have I we I CapEx cover automation the amount. significant

Mike Cole

of Ketan, quarters this, in times million. and up always a would from take $XX little we've $XX to Sure, that of some on bit, that million maintenance, like the normalized up that so the little depreciations bit be neighborhood defer we able a experience, and past to those three that tighten of perhaps, out. But push can been in

Ketan Mamtora

So quarters the defer $XX million, million so Is of just that you be right can interpretation? to clear, that $XX it. three to

Mike Cole

Jay McCanless

guys. morning, questions. Thanks for my good taking Hey,

Matt Missad

Good morning, Jay.

Mike Cole

Jay. Hey,

Jay McCanless

So to versus skew if one you seeing how first thinking a question, going about are health, with segment are some customer your receivables issues, you customers' and is balance on sheet, what's there another?

Matt Missad

and they're look to about. talking a guys of unfortunately, that Obviously, essential have weekly doing you're that's Mike and and know customers is struggle. team very, our Yes, customer taking going operations on exactly customers at one large been some what I and who is very and deemed a the with observation health meeting are his not terrific are important things there

very definitely of a process think have good are I there and risk. we nonetheless, is good and But that there out risk it. we plan managing aware a very a for

eye is on we're on so overall, it's on as much close based think a based So keeping it whether any I individual or don't essential non-essential. segment things. they're

And most have been clearly, Industrial in not deemed we essential customers lot a earlier remarks, so. of Retail areas, in been deemed said essential the as has

Jay McCanless

be flip are let any to then, your worried segment being on about would little And about great. you're How that running to feeling another, you're about seeing more financial on vertically would able to color health versus where suppliers? to it suppliers. me integrate? if opportunities the love And a maybe that. skew Are A keep of your there is hear there you one

Matt Missad

think at feel this point, very I suppliers. good our Yes, we about

We a most of top-X the of us. - large major providers to usually are a mill customer very

I are it's don't big reasonably good so in think issue. And that's I so a - decent have big balance shape. sheets They they think a

other not lumber integrating. and think side, we're on I today. but products we're the We other that's certainly not something the at, we things in for vertically that's that may our talked looking position that at of not be integration, you about like There would vertical part that, really radar. the look

another. to more at that point, trying favor and have hopefully get answers that can mills segment are this really ample over curtailed supply the doesn't from So question. sure one supply. and who your it's reopening It about But getting make we

Jay McCanless

you curtailment what down? from are curtailments seeing from on me, follow or slow to are Got topic, picked they starting to that? more it. just Have up and Two those that

Matt Missad

but like we reopenings a other and will their hearing to of - actually did back mills had comment, an who not July XX. want that which employees real comments, couple help. come are after that to until of And We're one planning may it's as work my also sound mills editorial

little put damper a And that a their to so ability bit come of on back.

I think but do at So different they looking in number a reopening are areas. of

Jay McCanless

are projects And or projects? had, and pushed construction commercial when then, I maybe resi push out, at on on delays you're the seeing Construction last question you looking back being more or some

Matt Missad

to lot of forward their take a not continuing think that's probably little the I development because mixed of think homebuilders a view residential will it I been Jay, side, a Yes, - time bit land so I the plan, them there's reboot. there, on have think a with

you're seeing not commercial essential, the it's is stopped. business On been continuing that construction it's where it's where essential, side, on,

then a that's of in continues show and side, deemed Concrete traction bright That been Forming been on - and that's markets. essential So to most the lot spot. a

if got kind that be, think I of of there land. will that I But time, a they think mixed it looked inventory to why in restock point at at outlook. So way, some I that's it's

Jay McCanless

I Understood. it, guys. appreciate Thank you.
