That's an operating performance in our subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances are actual results may differ materially from the forward looking statements for a number of reasons are forward looking statements are flexible.
Only adds up to date with his presentation.
For list the factors would could affect our future results include our earnings estimates seen forward looking statements included I have to management's discussion in analysis, the financial condition or results of operations and so forth in our quarterly report on foreign 10, Q. for the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2019, which was filed with the U.S.

Turnabout few days.
Thanks, Mike.
People walking to our third quarter fiscal 2020 results I liked remind you of a couple of important events that took place in the back half of September each of which had an impact on our third quarter results.
Please turn to slide three.
The fire that started in the formation area of our Richmond, Kentucky plant.
<unk> had a significant impact on our third quarter.
As we discussed during our quarterly call in November immediately following the incident, our team developed a plan to mitigate the fires impact at Richmond by completing site cleanup emergency building structural repairs installing temporary tower.
Rerouting formation equipment out of order too expensive testing at or near facilities.
Door employees hardworking dedication, we're pleased to have achieved prefire output by December, albeit with a couple of our north American players, providing formation pasties and we did so keeping our customers as priority.
Unfortunately, the disruption, resulting from the fire caused us to lose approximately 30 million sales during the quarter, which was almost double what we initially into anticipated in our guidance.
Looking toward the immediate timeframe, we're already well into the rebuilding phase and expect to complete construction by the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2021, which will eliminate the need to use <unk>. The other at her sisters factories formations, Pennsylvania.
In addition, we continue to remain confident in our ability to recover nearly all lost equipment inventory facilities and profits through insurance coverage.
Secondly at the beginning of Q3, we closed on the acquisition up Norstar battery, which aligned nicely with our strategy to increase sales a premium products are the enersis in a position to accelerate our sales it's higher margin T.P.P. up.
Norstar has to production facilities in Springfield, Missouri, where it manufacturers and distributes energy storage product nearest and decided performance to enter services existing T.P.P.L.
Newer of the two norstar facilities also has a <unk> had an additional poor space immediately available for our new T.P.P.L.P. high speed production line.
You may recall, we're going to have to take up to manufacturing lines to install the high speed line, it or warrensburg facility.
We will now be able to preserve $100 million. So capacity at Warrensburg. In addition to north stars additional capacity no longer requiring a costly inventory build up in advance and the installation and reducing the risk of disruption.
Please turn to slide for.
The installation of the new high speed production line begin weeks after closing the acquisition and should be in production early in our upcoming fiscal year.
New line in the manufacturing capacity acquired with Norstar will double R.T.P.P.L. Cassie to approximately 1.2 billion in sales or Odyssey, Nexus and S.B.S. products by the end of next fiscal year.
To get some scale to the impact of the highly automated and digitized high speed production line I can tell you. It produces batteries three times faster than our existing T.P.P.L. production line and requires only one third of the operators. That's a nine fold increase productivity per operator.
In a few minutes I will discuss the integration progress with made during the most recent quarter and then Mike will provide more color on the financial impact to the acquisition during his portion of the call.
Please turn to slide five for a breakdown of our third quarter E.P.S. results of a dollar for.
Please turn to slide six.
But now like to update you on some of our key markets, which are progressing largely in line with recent corridors.
Or motive power America's market demand was solid in the third quarter despite headwinds from Richmond.
Well, our traditional flooded battery sales were reduced due to the fired Richmond, our T.P.P.L. product demand continue to grow.
Our continued efforts to increase production, including the acquisition Norstar will drive further growth and T.P.P.L.
In the Americas organic sales for next is T.P.P.L. doubled in the first three quarters about 20 compared to prior year responding corresponding three quarters. These numbers are even more impressive considering that ever since was T.P.P.L.S.D. constrained.
As a result of this growth we've gained meaningful T.P.P.L. market share. Despite the overall that acid market staying largely flat.
As previously discussed orders enemy have been softening from our traditional motive power over m. customers and we also saw the return to the market that'd be low price competitor in the media.
And extended shut down.
Despite these challenges amid demand for higher margin motive T.P.P.L. products continues to accelerate.
Power in Asia continues to be slow, particularly in China do the current trade climate with the rest of Asia remaining largely stable, we expect conditions in Asia to improve at the trade War subsides and the Corona virus receipts.
As with most global companies, we continue to monitor developments with the krona bias virus outbreak in China.
And are developing plans to mitigate any disruption toward China plan since quite cheap.
Moving on.
Focused on increasing Enersis is relatively small market share in the transportation sector by leveraging our technology platform with T.P.P.L.
In the Americas, well class a truck sales have recently been saw due to <unk> overbuilding in 2019.
In a mild winter, creating slower after market sales, we're excited to see order reached picking up and long haul new business prospects coming to fruition in the premium automotive long haul truck and agricultural sectors.
In addition to having a great product our success has been fueled by the fact that we're reaching back out to Odyssey accounts that we weren't able to go after on a large scale in the past because the supply constraints and now and we are now in latter stages of formalizing supply agreements with three large <unk> Nate nationwide.
After market retailers.
Immediate transportation the out to sea brand continues to be a highly sought after products do it superior product characteristics.
Similar to prayer Where's our global Telecom business continues to be sought.
As can be seen throughout the telecom sector normal spending patterns have been disrupted the overall market avoid spend the sings aboard spending on legacy equipment, while awaiting the significant investment cycle in modern high speed networks.
<unk>, which most industry experts increasingly agree is rapidly approaching.
In addition, one of Alfa's largest historic broadband customers continues to restrict cutbacks.
The T. remains confident that this delayed spending is creating pent up demand, which will be unleashed at the broadband networks continued to be stressed from a rapid increase in data consumption ultimately require a more robust system build up.
Moving onto another exciting part of our business. We're pleased to have continued momentum in the aerospace and defense sector. Specifically, we're very excited by several recent contract wins provided grow premises the growth prospects for our aerospace and defense munitions business looks promising with the current annual revenue runway <unk>.
Affected to double by the other 2022 with new contracts in hand.

The industrial lead acid battery market in North America continues with the slow steady market growth of around 1%. The last eight years well <unk> has has grown at nearly three times market range, despite enjoying a leading market share position in nearly all markets.
While the growth rates are modest the business is profitable and provides a solid cast generation platform for reinvestments and acquisitions and new product development to diversify our position.
One external factor that influences the overall growth rates of the industrial lead acid battery market, it's new technology platforms and telecommunications assist has seems historically with four G.L.T.E.
The AD that five g. deployments, we're expecting to see an increase in demand for energy storage and with the acquisition of Alpha per sale and I.C.S., where position do enjoy a greater share the overall by G. spent.

Please turn to slide 10.
Well now provide an update on the continued progress we're making on our strategic initiatives.
We have made tremendous progress with the integration where recent Acquisitional norstar during the third third quarter. We represented the first quarter of emphasis on the ship.
We captured more than $8 million and annually synergy savings.
We have found culturally nor stars a great fit as well.
Forced or also fits indoor second major strategic priority, which is to significantly increased TPPL manufacturing capacity to reduce lead times in the meat exciting and rapidly growing customer demand that continues to far outstrip our current manufacturing footprint.
Finally superior technology and innovation will remain the lifeblood of Enersis as we continue to distinguish ourselves as a premier manufacture of differentiated energy storage products and power solutions.
The new products from we have launched our 12 volt motive power T.P.P.L. block with a carbon additive, which will significantly enhance products like in performance.
Also allows us to achieve profit margin improvement by offering to lower total cost of ownership from maintenance free customers.
The new TPPL motives systems will have an integrated battery management system, allowing for a similar customer experiences with him we're hoping to extend the life of the energy storage product.
We're set to launch our lithium solution for material handling market in June two this year with a very to that system available for residential energy storage one month later.
Lithium ion for telecommunications U.P.S.
Energy storage systems are lined up to launch sequentially.
Our focus on industry breakthroughs in safety and efficiency will make the extra time, we've taken to bring these new products to market worthwhile to our customers and investors.
In summary, following the strategic acquisitions and successful integration of Alpha Norstar, along with the development of game changing products black or a nexus maintenance free promoted power and are obviously branded products for transportation.
Enersis as well positioned to capitalize on the exciting growth opportunities ahead.
Coding a massive global five g. infrastructure build out <unk>.
Continued to growth and broadband and the design wins with aerospace and defense. In addition, we will remain laser focused on executing our strategic initiatives of driving value for our customers are partners and all other stakeholders in the quarters of him.
Would that all now as Mike to provide further information on a third quarter results and fourth quarter guys.
Phase day.
For those of you call following along on our web cast I'm, starting with slight alone.
Our third quarter net sales increase 12% over the prior year to $764 million to do a 20% increase from acquisitions and decreases of 5%, 2% and 1% from volume pricing currency, respectively on a regional basis or third quarter net sales in the Americas were up 25.
Percent to 503 million dollar as well to me is net sales were down 7% or $202 million.
And Asia decrease, 3% and the third quarter to $58 million America's enjoyed 32% from acquisition of less 4% decrease from volume, 2% decrease in price and a 1% decreasing currency.
<unk> had a 4% increase from acquisitions, but incurred or 9% volume decrease in 2% negative currency.
We had 2% pride in 1% currency declines.
Product line bases net sales for motive power were down 10% you earlier at $316 million well reserve power.
It was up 36% to $448 million reserve power had a 2% volume, 2% price and 1% currency declines offset by 41% in acquisitions motive power heading 1% decrease in price any one person foreign currency decline, while the volumes were down eight.
Percent due to the fired originally Kentucky plan and weakness in or a media in Asia motive power markers.
Please now refer to slide 12.
On a sequential days is third quarter net sales were flat compared to the second quarter fiscal 2020, driven by 3% volume decline offset by comparable growth from acquisitions.
Graphical basis America's with down 4%, while a meal was up 11% and Asia was up 7%.
On a product line basis reserve power was up 5%, while motive power was down 6%.
Yeah I'll have a few comments about are adjusted consolidated earnings performance.
As you know, we utilize certain on gap measures and analyze and our companies operating performance.
Civically, excluding highlighted items Accordingly, my following comments concerning operating earnings. My later comments concerning diluted earnings per share exclude all highlighted items.
Refer to a company it's for me Okay.
Which includes or press release dated February 2020 per details concerning these highlighted items.
Fleet now turn to slide 13.
On a year over year basis, adjusted consolidated operating earnings and the third quarter decrease $4 million to $64 million with the operating margin down 160 basis points.
Lower commodity costs were not enough to offset the volume and price declines along with the lost revenue occurred in Richmond, Kentucky.
On a sequential basis or third quarter operating earnings declined 150 basis points to 8.3%.
Operating expenses when excluding highlighted items were at 16.4% sales for the third quarter compared to 14.8% per year.
Excluded from operating expenses recorded on a gap basis, and Q3 or pretax charges of 21 million primarily related to $10 million in restructuring and $8 million, an alpha and norstar amortization charges.
Excluding those charges are America's business segment achieved an operating earnings percentage of 9.9%, which was 240 basis points.
Lower than 12.4% and the third quarter of last year lower volume from the Richmond interruptions created the decrease.
On a sequential basis America's third quarter Eve decreased 190 basis points from mood Levin 0.8 more percent margin posted in second quarter, primarily due to the bridge from fire.
America's E. dollars were flat prior year, but down 12 million from the prior core.
Means operating earnings percentage of 6.6% was down from last year 7.9 per cent in down from last quarter, 7.3%.
$8 decrease $4 million from the prior your primarily from lower price in in volume, but we're flat from the prior quarter and Amir.
The operating earnings percentage in our Asia business improved 10 basis points and the third quarter, but this year to a 1.1% operating income from a 1.0% profit and third quarter of last year.
8% loss.
<unk>, Oh $8, a possible to the prior year end up $1 million from the prior core.
Please move to slide 14.
Has previously reflected on slide 13, or third quarter, just consolidated operating earnings the $64 million for the decreases 6% in comparison to the prior year or adjusted consolidated net earnings and $44.5 million was $6 million lower than the prior here.
Decline and adjust the net earnings is primarily the result of the fired or Richmond, Kentucky facility.
Adjusted effective income tax rate of 16% for the third quarter with comparable to the prior years rate lower than the prior quarters rate of 18%.
Screen tax items cause most of these variations.
Fiscal 29th teens full your rate of 17%.
Which is at the low end of our 715% to 18% range of expectations for fiscal 20 point.
Dps decreased 11% two dollar for on lower net earnings we expect or for the fiscal quarter of 2020 to have approximately 42.9 million shares of weighted average shares outstanding which includes the nearly 1.2 million shares issued in the out the transaction net of the 1.0 million shares.
Prepurchased in February to August 2019.
As a reminder, we still have nearly $50 million a share buybacks authorized.
We've included are here today results on the slides 15 16 for your information, but I do not intend to cover the details.
Please refer to appendix one at the end of our web cast.
Alpha contributed adjusted operating earnings and $12 million for 8.8% on revenues of $135 million.
Overall after considering interest taxes and delusion of shares issue to the seller Alpha was 11 cents decree too.
We're excluding $4 million and after tax amortization on intangible assets recorded and purchase accounting.
Norstar had an adjusted operating loss of point 6 million on $28 million in revenue, which resulted in a five cent drag on the P.S. and the quarter. After interest in taxes excluded from North stars results were $5 million and after tax amortization, an inventory step up charges.
The out the transaction continues to progress as planned with synergies realized as expected the logic of our acquisition remains intact. However, alfa's revenue remain down year over year from the current spend patterns of certain major broadband telecom customers. The norstar acquisition remain equally appeal.
Feeling, but who will take another quarter or more to make the needed product changes to create the value we expect.
Completed now turned back to slide 17.
We still have nearly $273 million a cash on hand, and our credit agreement leverage ratio is 2.5 times.
We generated over 175 million and cash from operations in the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 capital expenditures were $61 million, we expect full year cafe spending of approximately 90 million to 100 billion in fiscal 2020.
We utilize nearly $185 million of the cash on hand to purchase Norstar on September 30th the first day of our third fiscal quarter, we expect or leverage to remain at or below 2.5 times in the future with the addition, nor sark.
We anticipate or gross profit rate in our fourth fiscal quarter of 2023 main near 26%, which is comparable with h. one the benefits of the Richmond insurance recovery is included in this rate.
Regards the impact from tariffs our first three quarters of approximately five cents per share of costs in each we currently expect the similar costs pressuring queue for terrorists along with higher freight costs have impacted our margins by nearly 100 basis points.
The Norstar acquisition will provide relief defray costs, beginning next fiscal year as transoceanic shipments from European factories to the U.S. fool declined dramatically.
We expect to generate adjusted diluted net earnings per share of between $1.40 300 dollar 47 in our fourth fiscal quarter fiscal 2024, which excludes and expected that charge at 25 cents per share primarily from amortization costs from alpha and norstar and are continuing restructuring program.
<unk>.
The fire at originally Kentucky facility that occurred late and our Fiscals second fiscal quarter negatively impacted third quarter revenues by over $30 million.
We have included in anticipated recovery of approximately $15 million or 30 cents per share in our fourth quarter guys to reflect second third quarter interruption impacts.
Guidance also assumes are too factories in China reopen the next two weeks and our Chinese suppliers are not disrupted to a greater extent than our own facilities now let me turn to call back today.
Thanks, Mike.
City, we will now open the line for questions.
As our mind to ask a question.
Star one on your telephone.
Your question press the pound cake.
I'll be compiled a culinary roster.
And our first question comes from.
Oppenheimer.
Your question.
Thanks. Good morning debut you mentioned you prepared remarks that telecom spend the soft currently but you see the point expectations for you know meaningful up taking pipe g. activity late discount the year early next year and I was wondering if you just give us some color.
The customer dialog and quoting activity, you're seeing me, how those conversations and that activity changed.
<unk>.
That's great question, no and good morning.
The.
The specifics.
Are getting much cleaner and tighter in terms of the electrical load.
And sort of the mechanical requirements. So there the the like the enclosure sizes wait specs electrical it's everything's getting much more precise than we had I think there's been still a lot of debate within the various carriers about the spectrum, they're going to use and equipped.
They're going to use in the different metropolitan rural areas. So it's only it's only tightened up let's say within the last 90 days.
As to precisely what they're looking for in the vision of what and how they are going to deploy these small cell site. So it's exciting.
It's it's later than I think all of this one but I I have a high degree of competence that with the off acquisition as I noted in the prepared remarks.
There's going to be a general lift on energy storage because of the increase in data.
But with Alpha and I.C.S. Purcel, we've really position ourselves to enjoy a much higher share of the spans and then we've had historically so.
I would say, it's no answer it's really the precision of what they're asking for and the detail in the r. of cues that were receiving.
Because that's helpful can we.
Sorry to another part of the business can mean, they get paid more into the <unk>, how how much of that 9% volume decline was maybe a function of a verdict. Some of your product to the America's versus you know just general all we order softness versus any share lost a new kind of course not personal that.
My best inside I can give you know is that the the key issue was the tough com created.
By a competitor who was struggling to recover production after they had a a serious event and so historically that business similar to the U.S. the market share data we provided.
In one of the slides has been predictable unstable.
Don't think it's a abroad difference I think it would be a similar growth pattern.
And so as that competitor has rolled back into the market and started to call back their share we're going back to normal levels. So that's it's.
I think that's the key issue that we're seeing the big change there and what's important and this this kind of goes to the nature of your question, we have constrained our European sales team from pushing nexis, because we've allocated most of the available production capacity to the.
North American market.
And so there's a big push on now that we realize these synergy freight savings that that my noted with the transoceanic savings that's going to create available capacity in our T.P.P.L. European factories, and the pressure's on Holger and the team to bring back.
<unk> more nexus, an odyssey volume in that region and that that's the way will enjoy now isn't it.
It takes time to do this.
No. This is going to happen overnight, we have to homologous the products, we have to get all the approvals engineers sign off quality sign offices with moved products customer approvals.
We need certain certifications, so we need certain permits for new equipment from.
States. So there's there's a lot of.
Things, we have to do we have to do well, but we are I think Mike and I. Both can say with a very high degree of competence. We know the businesses out there, we just need to match our commitments of supply and demand extremely well, we don't want to disappoint anybody by Overcommitting and moving too fast but.
The I think a as Mike said the strategy the deal logic is held up extremely well.
And the other thing I'd like to say about the norstar.
I couldn't be happier with the folks in Springfield that if.
That have joined the family the level of cooperation communication.
A big Shout out to those teams and the high speed line installation is gone unbelievably smooth today knock on wood.
And I'm very impressed to with with the groups over there so things things are going on that front exactly according to plan.
And it actually ties into the North <unk>, which is I think Mike.
His comments that there are you know some some harmening.
Certification steps that that needs to be taken as you're looking to upgrade those those plants too.
Produced T.P.P.L. can just depends a little bit more color on.
Your expectations for how that plays out that you think you know in total there can be a doubling the revenue capacity padding and dove.
I guess March 2022 counter 22.
Oh.
21, I'm sorry, maybe you can just kind of help us take through what had happened from Brock blocking and tackling and how often tech <unk> and and again I think what's important to me is that we do this in a way.
That we don't get too far out over our skis, what our customers. So I'll just give you example, so if we make a certain battery type in warrensburg and we are way slammed on.
Capacity constraints, there and we need to get that moved to Springfield, one of the factories. It has it tastes literally.
Probably two months to get that skew minimum.
Tools and running in the new factory get assigned off two and two months is extremely aggressive.
So it's and then that frees up additional capacity and warrensburg lets them dig out a little bit and then it's just similar so it's it's on a case by case basis, we have most of the things tools.
So it's it's going to be a a smooths ramp up by the end of the you know next fiscal year, we we shouldn't be in great position because part of the ramp up no is as we as we've noted.
The high speed line is going to eat a lot of plates and I mean, it's going to need a lot of plates is going to be hungry and we're having to increase the plate, making capacity in Springfield to match that and a lot of that equipment is longer lead time.
And so it really we we just can't snap our finger I know some of the males.
Literally have eight monthly times, so it's going to take a while but we should emerge the end of calendar year 2021 or fiscal year 2021.
With you know well over a billion I think close to 1.2 billion of capacity in T.P.P.L., which is unbelievable.
And the work signed about it and.
So you should see over the coming quarter's a a smooth ramp as we bring our new customers and we matched that with our ability to.
Execute at the factory level.
No other challenges not just for the Springfield plans to be able to take product that may have previously been made by other interfaces TPPL factories, but also for European TPPL factories to take on some of the product that was being made in Springfield and zuri in the middle of the United States.
Day, and they were shipping that to Europe. So there's some product qualifications a little bit at Tulane updates they have to go on on that side of the the pond as well so correct good point.
Oh, Thank you very much I call it.
Thanks.
Gentlemen.
Please press star wine.
There next question comes from Brian drop with.
Thanks for C. with their question.
Hi, good morning, Thanks for taking my question.
First curse on just following on that P.P.P.L. capacity line of questioning you know when the first incremental.
P P.P.L. capacity starting to come on on line because my understanding with when you.
The north Derek and that.
It would be like six months before we.
Hard to see that come on line and that would be in Canada.
Late spring early summer time frame is that still the case or are we talking about a longer term now.
I think no I think that's that's really right on the Mark still is when you're going to start to see it and it will grow.
Beyond that so it'll be probably next.
Let's say one to five corridors, you're going to see a fairly consistent increases new equipments brought on line as new skews New accounts are brought online. It's that's the kind of <unk>.
Oh, okay. Okay.
And then.
I'm going to about 10 minutes late Unfortunately, and I'm wondering did you talk about that Trans Atlantic brings saving.
That seems to be the.
When in terms of North Star synergy.
That that show start to show up in the December corner or do we get the March corner or you know that.
I know that Mike you talked about.
Tens of millions of dollars and potential savings there is like again that as we did talk about a little bit.
That goes with some of these two legs approvals the ability to move things around so I think you'll start to see the benefit of that.
Probably.
I would say within two quarters, you should start to see that making an impact on the result, as as we get I know at one of the accounts for example to big Big.
Car Company truck company, and we have to go through.
The their approval process, it's like an ice so on it in our French factory.
And it just takes it just takes a little time.
So the those are the things the teams are going through.
And so I would say yeah, I would say within two quarters, you should start to see the impact of those savings more meeting place.
But when I look at.
The 145 midpoint of the March guidance.
It's not it kind of anything really north dark energy and then there.
Yeah.
Become beyond the Mark corner really.
Right and and.
Brian the in the upcoming fourth quarter. So norstar will will be you know a similar drag probably a little higher than what we saw we had five cents in our our third quarter that we attributed the negative to norstar when you at the interest expense for the transaction.
Probably have slightly more than that maybe up to 10 cents a drag that's been built into our our guidance so that.
And that's kind of the last quarter before we think we'll see nor started taking on products that were previously let's say made in our Warrensburg. Most Missouri facility. This is when the high speed line will start to see some.
Output in provide some benefit hopefully it's also the time, where some of the products currently made in North stars Springfield, Missouri facility can be taken over by our European facilities in the qualification for those customers is completed so.
We hope that that.
That happens in you know somewhere in Q., Warner Q2 fiscal 2020 War and Brian.
I I think we need to point out that the key reason, we did the north star transaction was the make versus by we discussed it was the ability to get there faster with lower risk and that's it said, it's a very it's looking better than we could have ever hope.
<unk>.
The one thing we should point out and in in my prepared remarks, you heard there's been two areas recent softness one is the class eight over the road.
Marketing has slowed down and obviously telecom one of those were two key areas that northstar's traditional revenue was from so they're feeling it just like we're feeling it in those two places enersis as much broader in terms of the market's we serve the accounts so it tends to be more.
Did I think it's more cue would them some of those revenue pressures, but we remain extremely optimistic about our ability to bring a new accounts penetrate are more deeply into the transportation sector and we just my bigger concern.
As I said with no.
Is bringing on new customers at a rate we can handle about trying to go too fast.
Because you only get one chance to make a good first impression.
So if you just the last question I have not but.
The north targets.
They were doing something like you know roughly 150 million and revenue 15 million and even annual run rate.
And has.
Have those pressures that you just mention Dave and the reason that.
You know, they're recording a loss now.
Or is that it's kind of the opposition related costs and entered incremental interest expense.
Okay, yeah, but maybe require a lot without the incremental.
Well, if I don't have the exact amortization members of my head Mike would.
I I think you know you have the you'd calibrated correctly about where we had expected those numbers to be and they saw and that was more it's worse off me and we we knew that those markets were softened as we were going into close the transaction those days.
We were never norstar for their existing book a business, we were buying them <unk> capacity that it brought provided us for T.V. feels we could bring on other market. So so while it was not envisioned let's say six months ago.

Yeah, I'd say 'cause this year, it's been in that negative I would say probably.
Next fiscal year I haven't seen the final numbers from drewes team, but I think that the expectation is things are going to start to pick up towards the.
Probably our fourth quarter is when when we're likely to start to say stay this at consistent yes. Okay.
Okay.

That pushed out your from what you're expecting previously really like it a year ago. This time.
Feeling was maybe it starts.
Spring and summer.

Oh, it's being pushed down.
That's what it feels like right now it could it I mean, we've got some trials coming up in the spring.
So it it just depends on how well things go. It's it's there's so many issues for these guys to deal with write down between frequency spectrum audits handset issues class penetration issues, there's still so much work to do from their perspective.
