I would now like to turn the call over to Andy Namath.
Thank you, Steve. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us on the call today. I'd like to begin my remarks by welcoming Steve O'Hara, our new VP of Investor Relations, who joined us in September. He brings over 15 years of experience as sell-side analyst, including previous coverage of Patrick and our end markets. We're pleased to have Steve on the Patrick team as we continue driving and communicating our long-term strategy to create shareholder value. Julianne Katowski, former director of investor relations, has moved into a new role as senior director of philanthropy and stakeholder engagement, where she will continue to be involved in shareholder services and remains a valued member of our leadership team. On behalf of the entire Patrick family, we would like to offer our thoughts and prayers to those impacted by the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian. We have several operations, team members, and friends located in the region and are extremely saddened by the loss of life and destruction. We wish our impacted team members, their families, and others affected by this storm a swift recovery. As we have in the past, we stand ready to bring our expertise, resources, and products to assist in the recovery from this event and will partner with our breadth of customers across our key industries to help provide solutions, assistance, and relief. Moving to the third quarter results, I want to thank our team members for their continued efforts and dedication as we work within our Better Together culture to drive improved performance despite ongoing recalibration in the RV industry. We achieved year-over-year growth in revenue, gross profit, and net income despite a 40% decline in RV wholesale production from both the 2021 third quarter and sequentially from the second quarter of 2022. As proof point to demonstrate the resiliency of our business model, strength of our product portfolio and improved diversification, consolidated sales increased 5% despite a 17% decrease in sales in the RV market, a true testament to the strategic evolution we have accomplished. Following the year over year production increases experienced through the first half of 2022, at an annualized run rate of more than 640,000 units. As we anticipated, RV OEMs recalibrated production starting in June, leading the industry to a more optimal dealer inventory scenario that we see today alongside post-pandemic consumer demand. We applaud the discipline and scalability displayed by our OEM partners and believe their actions are appropriate and reflect the realities in the market and better position the industry for long-term health and growth. While RV demand normalized, Marine demand remains strong in the quarter, with dealer inventories still well below historical averages. Our marine business represented 24% of our third quarter revenue, and on a pro forma TTM basis has grown to be over $1 billion in sales for the first time in our history. Our AMH and industrial businesses, which represented 29% of our third quarter revenue, predominantly serve the U.S. housing market. These businesses also performed well during the quarter, And combined with our marine revenue, bolstered margins, and more than offset the decline in sales to the RV market. Although marine, MH, and residential housing will likely face headwinds from rising interest rates and a slowing economy, we believe the long-term trajectory remains positive. The marine industry has a longer runway for inventory channel refill, and MH offers a solid option for plugging the country's affordable housing inventory gap, given its 25% to 50% lower price point, versus a similar site-built home. MHOEMs have overcome supply chain disruptions, added capacity, and gained efficiencies in their existing plants. In the last quarter, most have made progress in catching up with the retail home-oriented backlog and are able to supply retail homes with a lead time more in line with the pre-pandemic period. Many OEMs are shifting their production to focus on home design for rental communities, where developers and REITs are able to better withstand rising interest rates. Many of these homes will be used to fill a growing consumer need in the affordable rental market. We believe that our diversified portfolio and more resilient margin profile, infrastructure base, and strong balance sheet have put us in a position of strength to operate in these uncertain times and navigate the dynamic macroeconomic and geopolitical environment that is challenging us and our industries, thus further allowing us to strategically take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. Supply chain pressures have eased in the RV industry and are easing in our other markets, and freight rates are returning to historical norms. We believe inflation and rising interest rates will likely be headwinds for our markets, as a larger portion of the family budget will be dedicated to non-discretionary spending. We continue to monitor consumer spending trends to understand how this may impact our end markets. The important factor for us is to remain scalable and flexible in our operations, and leverage the resiliency of our operating model to perform well in any environment. In addition to the benefit of a more diversified and balanced portfolio, our strategic acquisitions of premium products in the marine space also continue to increase our aftermarket presence, which tends to be less cyclical given its focus on demand for repair, replacement, and outfit products. Over the past five years, our RV market concentration has decreased 10 percentage points, despite RV revenue more than doubling. while EBITDA margins have improved more than 300 basis points. These results stem from our focused effort to increase penetration in the marine and housing markets, providing a more stable earnings profile and the increased earnings power you see today. Our acquisition strategy has strengthened our product portfolio and brought us tremendous team members, leaders, and bench strength, in addition to loyal customers and partners, and has made the Patrick family stronger. We remain committed to our capital allocation strategy to further enhance our earnings profile. While we will continue to pursue organic growth and accretive acquisitions, we also expect to continue our investments in automation, infrastructure, technology, and human capital to improve the efficiency of our operations. We are embracing innovation and expanding our deployment of robotics and automation in our factories, which will continue to position us to operate more efficiently and scale faster. which helps mitigate the risk of our labor dependence and allows us to transform the skill sets of our workforce. And finally, turning to the numbers, our third quarter revenues increased 5% to $1.1 billion, our year-to-date revenues increased 34% to $3.9 billion, and on a trailing 12-month basis, our consolidated revenues were approximately $5.1 billion. Our net income in the third quarter increased 2% to approximately $59 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, and adjusting for the impact of the accounting treatment for our convertible notes, our adjusted diluted earnings per share was $2.63. Year-to-date net income increased 76% to $288 million, or $11.78 per diluted share. Adjusting for the impact of the accounting treatment for the convertible notes, Our adjusted diluted earnings per share was $12.79. I'll now turn the call over to Jeff.
Thanks, Andy, and good morning, everyone. As we outlined expectations last quarter, we saw lower demand from RBOEMs in Q3, but we were able to generate positive revenue growth and more stable margins in the quarter due to our efforts to build a stronger and more diverse portfolio of businesses. This would not have been possible without outstanding contributions of the entire Patrick team to meet customer demand. Third quarter RV revenues decreased 17% to 524 million, representing 47% of the consolidated sales. RV wholesale unit shipments of 91,800 decreased 40% as the industry recalibrates inventory levels and retail wholesale velocity and demand slows from last year and the first half of this year's record paces. Our RV content per unit increased 36% on a TTM basis to $5,071 per unit, driven by market share gains, pricing, and acquisitions. While commodity pricing remained elevated during the quarter, we're beginning to experience price normalization in several commodities and pass along savings to our customers where applicable. As changes occur, we will continue to evaluate adjustments to pricing in partnership with our OEM customers. Our retail unit shipments were estimated to have decreased by approximately 20% during the quarter, totaling approximately 119,000 units and implying a net reduction of approximately 27,000 units from dealer inventory in the quarter. Our estimates indicate that TTM dealer inventory weeks on hand at the end of the third quarter are in approximately 18 to 20 weeks. This is down approximately two weeks from the 20 to 22 weeks from our estimates at the end of the second quarter of 2022 and below historical pre COVID levels of approximately 26 to 30 weeks. Our marine revenues representing 24% of our consolidated sales increased 57% to 271 million driven by acquisitions, market share gains and pricing. Marine wholesale unit shipments increased an estimated 5%, while retail unit shipments are down an estimated 3% to 5% due primarily to low inventory availability. Our estimated marine content per wholesale unit shipment increased 60% on a TTM basis to $5,109 per unit. We have exceeded $1 billion in marine sales on a pro forma TTM basis and expected to surpass $1 billion in actual sales by year end. Marine dealer inventories continue to be lean. Our estimates indicate that marine dealer inventories are roughly seven to nine weeks on hand, consistent with Q2 and well below the historic pre-pandemic averages of 35 to 40 weeks. Based on our estimates and channel checks, we expect inventory channel stabilization to occur in alignment with wholesale production carrying through the remainder of 2022 and into 2023 and 2024, depending on the model. Revenues in our housing market sector, primarily tied to MH and single and multifamily residential housing, increased 25% to $317 million and represented 29% of consolidated sales. MH estimated wholesale unit shipments were up 10% in the quarter, and MH content per unit increased 21% to $6,023 per unit. MHOEMs maintained a strong position through the third quarter with robust industry backlogs and improving capacities. We believe that manufactured housing remains a viable, cost-effective alternative to site-built housing. Total residential housing starts for the third quarter decreased 7%, with single-family starts down approximately 18%, and multifamily starts up approximately 19%. rising interest rates are likely to have an impact on residential housing. However, we believe limited inventory and the need for additional multifamily housing capacity remain favorable factors for long-term growth. On the operating front, as Andy mentioned, we are focused on increasing the flexibility and scalability of our operations. With over $100 million in capital investments driven by increased automation initiatives over the past 21 months, we are driving synergies and improving efficiencies and throughput. An example of one of the automation initiatives we have executed and a prime example of our Better Together culture involves our Frontline manufacturing operation, which produces fiberglass tubs, showers, and other products. Frontline recently installed an overhead track system and automated their tub and shower line using a blueprint that our Baymont bath fiberglass business had fine-tuned over the past several years. These improvements allowed Frontline to boost throughput and improve quality and employee productivity and safety. Another example of better together automation and continuous improvement involves our marine electrical products operation in Lebanon, Missouri. Our MVP team has implemented several robotic operating cells, as well as implementing several CI transformations and CI culture after training with our CI team. Actions taken during and after the implementation have resulted in improved efficiencies, quality, productivity, and throughput, and increased capacity in a facility that was previously constrained by more than 25%. We will continue to develop, support, and drive continuous improvement and best practices across our organization in alignment with our culture. These initiatives position us to serve our customers more efficiently, provide better visibility and drive higher market share and improved margins. From an operational excellence perspective, as RV market demand is normalizing, our teams are strategically managing labor to ensure we are proactively responding to market dynamics. Due to the human element, reducing labor is never easy, but we have several ways to minimize the impact on our valued team members. Additionally, our teams are managing the production capacities and consolidating where appropriate to remain flexible with ever-changing production levels. We are a stronger company today due to the performance and dedication of the entire Patrick team in pursuing our end market diversification strategy. We are positioned to better navigate challenging environments like the one we face today and our operations are stronger and our business and margin profile is more resilient. Before I turn the call over to Jake, I would like to highlight one more very important project we collaborated on earlier this year that is near and dear to our hearts and culture. Patrick was proud to be the presenting sponsor of Military Makeover with Montel, which fully renovates military veterans' homes to express the sincere appreciation, respect, and gratitude for their service and sacrifice. This year, a local Michigan City family was selected to have their house completely renovated. U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Michael Stupar, a military veteran with 20 years of service, and his family were the recipients. We are honored to support this great cause. Our team members across our Midwestern operations volunteered their time and talent as they completed the remodeling using several Patrick products, including cabinets, countertops, floors, showers, and fixtures, among others. It's a small token compared to the commitment made by our veterans and their families, and we are grateful to be able to give back to such a worthwhile enterprise and mission. I'll now turn the call over to Jake, who will provide additional comments on our financial performance.
Thanks, Jeff, and good morning, everybody. Q3 net sales increased 5% to $1.1 billion, a strong performance in our marine and housing businesses alongside solid industry shipments, We're partially offset by an anticipated reduction in RV OEM production. We also benefited from market share gains driven by product differentiation, our ability to scale and leverage our platform to better allocate resources and serve our customers over the past 24 months, and the acquisitions we have made to enhance and diversify our product portfolio. Gross margin increased 170 basis points to 21.3%, driven primarily by contributions of recent acquisitions, the diversification of our portfolio, the realization of production and labor efficiencies, and automation initiatives. Operating income remained relatively flat despite a 50 basis point decrease in operating margin, driven principally by the revenue impact of a 40% decline in RV OEM unit production in the quarter. Additionally, we have continued to invest in our infrastructure, software initiatives, and human capital and IT to further strengthen and solidify our foundation in alignment with our strategic plan. Amortization expense increased due to acquisitions completed in the past year. We believe these initiatives will proactively allow us to deliver a better customer experience, take advantage of opportunities that present themselves in any economic environment, and continue to position us to drive long-term value. Net income grew 2% to $59 million, or $2.43 per diluted share. Adjusting for the impact of the accounting treatment for our convertible notes effective in 2022, our adjusted diluted net income per share was $2.63. Our overall effective tax rate was 24.1% in the third quarter compared to 26.3% in the prior year. We expect our overall effective tax rate for 2022 to be approximately 25.5 to 26.5%. Looking to cash flows, we generated approximately $156 million in operating cash flows compared to approximately $69 million in the prior year's quarter. This increase was a result of our improved profitability and growth in net income as well as our ability to monetize working capital as we anticipated in our second quarter call. We will continue to monitor demand trends and supply chains to ensure we have adequate levels to support our customer requirements while not unnecessarily building inventory. While our inventory levels are still elevated as a result of prioritizing our customers' needs over the past 24 months during severe supply chain constraints, we are proud of the work our team has done to balance these objectives and believe we can continue to monetize our working capital through the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. This quarter, we invested $19 million in capital expenditures centered on developing operational efficiencies through investments in automation and technological improvements. In combination with our highly variable cost structure, we are confident that our investment in capital expenditure initiatives positions us well to face various macroeconomic environments that may materialize in the coming quarters. We still expect our full-year capital expenditures to be in the $90 million range, demonstrating our steadfast dedication to the initiatives we've described. Although we did not complete any acquisitions in the third quarter, we've invested $153 million year-to-date, which has been directed towards higher value and higher engineered products and those that sell into the aftermarket. Acquisitions remain a pivotal priority in our capital deployment strategy as we continue to focus on well-run, quality businesses with a focus on growth and diversification. We repurchased approximately 154,400 shares for a total of approximately $7 million in the quarter and returned $7 million to shareholders in the form of quarterly dividends. Year to date, we have repurchased $47 million in shares and paid $23 million in dividends, resulting in $70 million in total cash returned to our shareholders. At the end of the third quarter, we had approximately $485 million in total net liquidity comprised of $53 million of cash on hand and unused capacity on our revolving credit facility of $432 million. This unused capacity on our revolving credit facility includes the impacts of a $202.5 million reserve for the settlement of our convertible notes due February 2023. In August, we expanded our credit facility to $925 million, bolstering our nimble and flexible financial position and supporting our ability to execute our business strategy. Our total net leverage ratio is 1.8 times. A robust liquidity profile gives us the confidence to navigate the uncertain macroeconomic environment while providing flexibility to best meet our customers' needs. This profile, coupled with our ability to continue to monetize working capital, positions us to execute our disciplined capital allocation strategy. Moving to our in-market outlook and starting with RV, we have seen OEMs adjust production to keep dealer inventory at healthy levels. We think these actions will be a long-term benefit for the industry. We currently estimate full-year 2022 RV wholesale unit shipments to approximately 480,000 units, implying Q4 wholesale shipments of approximately 60,000 to 70,000 units. We currently expect full-year retail shipments to be down approximately 20 to 25%, implying approximately 425,000 to 455,000 units. Our current estimates for fiscal 2023 include RV retail down low double digits from fiscal 2022 and RV wholesale to be approximately 400,000 units, based on these retail figures. In our marine market for the full year, we expect marine wholesale shipments to be up low single digits and marine retail to be down high single digits. Fourth quarter wholesale is expected to be up low single digits versus the prior year period as OEMs recover from supply chain constraints. We still see lean but improving dealer inventories throughout 2022 and into 2023. We expect the aluminum and pontoon markets to recover at a faster pace due to scalability and the allocation of labor resources from market sectors. For fiscal 2023, we currently estimate marine retail and wholesale to be down mid-single digits off of approximately a 200,000 unit base. On the housing side of the business, we continue to expect MH wholesale shipments to be up low double digits for 2022, retail sales absorbing available wholesale production on a real-time basis. In our residential housing end market, we expect 2022 new housing starts to be flat to up low single digits. We currently expect housing in general to be down 5% to 10% in fiscal 2023. That completes my remarks. We're now ready for questions.

Our first question today is coming from Scott Stember from MKM Partners. Your line is now live.
Good morning, guys, and thanks for taking my questions, and congratulations, Steve.
Thank you. Scott, good morning.
Yeah, coming out of open house, Can you maybe talk about where RV production stands right now? I know that there were still some 2022 models that had to move and pricing on 23 models could have dampened some of the order activity. So could you just give us an idea of maybe sequentially or year over year what the RV production levels look like right now as you see them?
Yes, this is Jeff. Production levels, they've been you know, the OEMs have really monitored what they've been doing over the last several months. And we see them, you know, kind of normalizing from where they were in September. You know, we still see, you know, the shutdowns of a week or a day here or there really to manage where they're at versus the retail that's going on out there. We feel comfortable as they continue to manage and monitor those on a daily and weekly basis, and we're adjusting to those production levels as needed.
Okay, got it. And can you give what the organic sales breakout was in the quarter? Jake?
Yeah, happy to, Scott. It's Jake. I'll give you the rundown. So, you know, we're up 5% on a quarter-over-quarter basis. I'll give you the components. So down 21 or so percent on industry volume, as you know, that's led mostly by the reduction in RV, both quarter over quarter and sequentially, both coming in pretty meaningfully down on this normalization we've been talking about. From an organic perspective, we're up 18%, and the acquisition contribution is up 8%. That gets you to the net five.
Okay. And the plus 18%, is most of that pricing down? or is there some other unit component in there?
About 13 to 14 percent of that is pricing.
Okay, got it. All right, and then just a bigger picture question for next year. I know you guys gave some outlooks for the different industries, but mainly on MH and industrial. Could you maybe just talk about, you know, what you're seeing right now heading into next year? I guess industrial in particular, You talked about housing, but how are some of the other markets holding up and how do you think that they will fare next year?
Scott, this is Andy. As we think about housing, as we're looking at MH right now, MH is strong. The backlogs are solid. We think that there's runway for MH to continue. We do think that there will be some headwinds as it relates to inflation. But again, the channel feels like it's in a good spot from a refill perspective. And so we're pretty confident in the MH side. On the housing side, what we're seeing is a mixed shift between multifamily. There's been very strong demand for multifamily, you know, over the course of the last quarter or two. And the single family is down. You know, we're seeing certainly some price sensitivity as it relates to the increasing rates that are out there. But we think that there's tremendous demand on the multifamily side. So from an industrial perspective for us, you know, we match up pretty well with an even split between single family and multifamily. So we expect to kind of manage through that you know very well as we look at our industrial business for the next year and remodeling how's that looking and remodel for sure we expect to continue to be pretty resilient okay all right that's all i have for now thank you thanks thank you next question is coming from daniel moore from cgs securities your line is now live good morning thanks for taking the questions um
Starting with, you know, given the updated outlook for wholesale and retail for the remainder of this year, do you expect to be dealers to continue to be rebalancing inventories kind of through the first half of 23? Do you think that process generally works its way by year end? Any update there?
Dan, this is Andy. I think as we look at the balance of the year for 2022 and we're watching what's taking place, the RV manufacturers have been very disciplined in managing production and really have been aggressive in pulling back production to make sure that they stay aligned with retail. When we look at the inventory that's out there today in the channel, we absolutely believe we're at discounted levels from where it's historically run. What we see today is a mixed change kind of happening out in the marketplace as it relates to dealers fine-tuning their mix balance that they prefer going into next year. And so as we look at things, we're anticipating, and I think what we see, at least in our OE partners, and I certainly don't want to speak for them, but what we're watching is we think that there's a rebalancing of the mix as we take place through the back part of the year with very disciplined production pullbacks, which we think is very, very rational. And then kind of positioning for, you know, a strong kind of fiscal 2023 as it relates to one-to-one retail to wholesale. So mix shift for the balance of the rest of the year, discipline production, and then in anticipation of kind of where 2023 rolls out as it relates to retail pull through.
Helpful. And just how do we think, how should we think about, you know, either gross margins and operating margins, you know, in Q4 as well as into H-123? you know, relative to the quarter we just saw, given some of the production level expectations.
Dan, it's Jake. I appreciate the question. Maybe to start with the full year, we still think that on a year-over-year basis, 22 versus 21, we're up operating margin, for example, 130 to 150 basis points. So a lot of that follows the theme we've been speaking about for about 18 months here, and the impact of both our investments in automation and other production efficiency initiatives, which have been meaningful. And Jeff highlighted a few of those here this morning as well. But also the complexion of the acquisitions that we've made over time and their contribution as we continue into higher fabrication, higher value added products, which are really contributing as well. So with the two of those, we think about first quarter over first quarter. Of course, production will drive a lot of that as we think about absorption and other impacts. Jeff spoke a little bit about pricing and our intent to hold that as best we can. But we still expect to be up on a quarter-over-quarter basis any way you look at it and really realize these improvements. And one thing we've spoken a lot about is, you know, a great comparable that folks like to point to is 2019 as kind of a normal year pre-COVID, so to speak. We think about the investments we've made in the portfolio over that time and the results that we have seen that are really resonating through those margins and what we expect to see in the future. And if you just take a couple of seconds to think about over since beginning of 2019 through now, we've put about a billion dollars into acquisitions. About $840 million of revenue has come along with those at the time of acquisition, which we've grown about 40% or so to $1.2 billion contribution from those years of acquisitions. It's really resonating in the strategic diversification, which speaks to the portfolio concept that we've really benefited from this month, and it's really shown through as we've seen that 40% decline in RV, but only a net 21% down volume, as I spoke about in the previous questions that came through. We think about some of the core pieces of our acquisition filters or criteria, and one of those is that margin accretion. And if you still think about that basket of acquisitions that I'm speaking to, And we think of those collectively having about a 27% gross margin profile, 13% to 15% operating margin profile, still very accretive to what we're doing. And we expect to see that on top of these efficiencies in the CapEx. We expect it to really resonate through and be buoyant to our profitability as we move forward.
Sorry about that. I was on mute. Thank you very much. Appreciate the color. And maybe one more, and I'll jump back in queue. Just in terms of, yeah, you mentioned pricing. If you could provide a little bit more color, you know, you'd be opportunistic or, you know, giving back some of those pricing as raw materials come back down. Just as it relates to margins, let's say over the next couple of quarters, do you expect a little bit of a benefit and a lag between commodity pricing and when you give those back, or is it more real-time? That's it for me. Thanks.
Yeah, Dan, this is Jeff. You know, we're working with our customers on a regular basis to manage the pricing as it goes down, as we see commodities go down. Really, in the third quarter, we were able to give back some pricing. We also, in some cases, held pricing when we saw commodities continue to rise a little bit through the third quarter. So we're being very flexible with our customers as pricing goes down the same way we were when they were with us when pricing went up. We see, you know, there is definitely some decline in the commodities coming down the road, and we will continue to work with customers kind of more of in a real-time basis as we see those opportunities arise.
Thank you again.
Thank you. As a reminder, that's star one to be placed in the question queue. Our next question today is coming from Rafi Djibrozovic from Bank of America. Your line is now live.
Hi, it's Ray. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. Morning, Ray. I wanted to follow up on the pricing and content per unit comments on RV. You've driven really impressive growth over the last year. Can you just talk about the outlook there the remainder of this year and how sticky is some of the content per unit gains? Like where do you see additional opportunity there?
Yeah, Rafe, this is Andy. I think as we look at content, you know, as Jeff talked a little bit about, you know, we're seeing from a supply chain constraint perspective on the RV side of the business, for sure, you know, we feel like we're in a great position today. We've been able to leverage our brands and really be able to put ourselves in a position to not have any supply chain constraints. And also we're seeing some commodities come down. And so we're certainly going to partner and give back that pricing in alignment with our customers the same way we did on the way up. I think the other side of it is that our scalability and flexibility and then the ability to leverage brands over the course of the last, not only quarter, but really the last 18 months when supply chain has been so significant. We've picked up between $125 and $150 million in additional annualized business in the RV side of the business. And so there's a combination of both pricing and market share organic gains that we've been able to deliver as a result of our profile. And so, you know, again, we expect to get back, you know, pricing and alignment and partnership with our customers the same way we did going up. But we've also had some stickiness as it relates to the market share gains that we've been able. And a real tribute to our team, you know, and the tremendous efforts that they exhibited across the platform to work with each other and really mitigate, you know, as much as possible the supply chain constraints that were out there. And we're in a great position today as it relates to being able to take care of customers.
And then as we look at your resi exposure on the industrial side, how do we think about the lag between housing starts and when that might start to impact your business? Another way to ask would be, are you more starts leveraged or completions leveraged when you look at the categories that you're selling?
Yeah, right. This is Andy again. We're more completions indexed, if you will. Our products generally go in at the end of the completion of the unit. And so, you know, we have generally a six to nine month lag that we see between housing starts and where it actually starts to hit. Like I said, the difference, though, is going to be on the multifamily mix change. And we look at that. And so we do think there's some resilience there on multifamily that will help offset some of that.
Thank you. And then just on the M&A side, are you seeing, given the end markets have slowed down here and we're a tougher macro and financing environment, have you seen multiples come down at all? And how are you handling your approach to M&A in this environment?
Yeah, this is Andy again. We have seen multiples come down. We're also seeing activity right now, especially as we're looking at some volatility in the marketplace. And so know i think as jake mentioned you know from a liquidity perspective from a leverage perspective we're in an incredibly strong position to be able to take advantage of these opportunities as they as they you know come about and so we're excited about you know going into whatever this uncertainty is from a position of strength you know really being able to evaluate our capital allocation and deploy capital you know strategically and appropriately um but from an acquisition pipeline perspective you know we continue to cultivate acquisitions both organically and have deal flow coming to us. So we feel pretty good about where things are at. Multiples have definitely come down, and we're in a great position to execute.
Great. Thank you.
