spk01: Good morning, and thank you for joining our third quarter earnings call. My name is Steve Massinelli, and I serve as Chief Administrative Officer and Investor Relations Officer at Simmons First National Corporation. Joining me today are George Macris, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bob Fellman, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and David Garner, Executive Director of Finance and Accounting and Chief Accounting Officer. The purpose of this call is to discuss the information and data provided by the company in our quarterly earnings release issued this morning and to discuss the company's outlook for the future. We will begin with prepared comments followed by a Q&A session. We have invited institutional investors and analysts from the equity firms that provide research on our company to participate in the Q&A session. All other guests in this conference call are in listen-only mode. A recording of today's call, including our prepared remarks and the Q&A session, will be posted on our website, SimmonsBank.com, under the Investor Relations page for at least 60 days. During today's call, we will make forward-looking statements about our future plans, goals, expectations, estimates, projections, and outlook. I remind you that actual results could differ materially from those projected in or implied by the forward-looking factors statement due to a variety of factors. Additional information concerning some of these factors is contained in our SEC filings, including, without limitation, the description of certain risk factors contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and the forward-looking information section of our earnings release issued this morning. The company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or other information. Lastly, in this presentation, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial metrics we believe provide useful information to investors. Please note that additional disclosures regarding non-GAAP metrics, including the reconciliations of these non-GAAP metrics to GAAP, are contained in our earnings press release and third quarter investor presentation, which are included as exhibits to our current report filed this morning with the SEC on form 8K and available on the investor relations page of our website at SimmonsBank.com. I'll now turn the call over to George Macris.
spk02: Thanks, Steve, and welcome to our third quarter earnings conference call. We're very proud of our results for the third quarter, especially under these trying conditions. I'd like to begin today's call by thanking the Simmons Associates for their commitment, dedication, and continued demonstration of our community banking values. In our press release, we reported net income of $65.9 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $7 million compared to the second quarter. Deleted earnings per share were 60 cents. Included in the third quarter earnings were $2.5 million in net after-tax, merger-related, early retirement program, and branch right-sizing costs. Excluding the impact of these items, the company's core earnings were $68.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, and core diluted earnings per share were 63 cents for the quarter. Our return on average assets was 1.2 percent. Our return on average common equity was 8.9 percent. Our return on tangible common equity was 15.4 percent, and our efficiency ratio was 54.1% for the third quarter. As of September 30th, total assets were $21.4 billion. Our loan balance was $14 billion, and our deposit balance was $16.2 billion. Our loan pipeline of approved and ready-to-close loans was only $70 million at the end of the quarter, signaling that loan demand remains very weak in almost every aspect of our commercial economy. Our net interest margin for the quarter was 3.21 percent, and our core net interest margin, which excludes accretion, was 3.02 percent. The lower yielding PPP loans and additional liquidity decreased the net interest margin by 30 basis points. Our non-interest income for the third quarter was $72 million, a decrease of approximately $13 million, compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the large gain on the sale of Visa Class B common stock that was recognized in the third quarter of 2019. This decrease was partially offset by a $9.5 million increase in mortgage lending income and a $15 million increase in the gain on sale of securities. Non-interest expense for the third quarter was $119 million. Core non-interest expense for the quarter was $115 million. Our capital remains very strong at quarter end. Our total risk-based capital ratio was 16 percent. Our common equity tier one ratio was 13 percent. Our tier one leverage ratio was 9 percent. The ratio of tangible common equity was 8.7% at September 30th. We have once again shared an extensive presentation on our website at www.simmonsbank.com, along with a press release and financial data, which gives much more detail regarding our quarterly results and other important information about our company. I'd like to take a minute to discuss some asset quality information found in our presentations. In our recap of loans excluding PPP loans, we show our allowance for credit losses, or ACL, for loan types in selected industry categories. Notably, our ACL for our energy portfolio is 19.5%, for our hotel portfolio, 4.1%, for our restaurant portfolio, 3.8%, and for our retail portfolio, 3.6%. In our COVID-19 loan modification update, we show those commercial loans still in a modification period. We expect only 3.9% of our loans to be considered for loan modifications longer than six months. Most of those we expect to return to regular payments with no credit downgrade or long-term restructure. Once again, our efforts were very proactive early in the pandemic. As Fed Vice Chairman Quarles mentioned recently, March was a record month of increases in C&I loans as companies drew on their lines of credit. That was not the case at Simmons, and it's reflected in the contrast between our loan growth during that time and other banks and in the ability of our customers to return to regular payment status. And of the 1,894 consumer loans that received forbearance, only 167 are being considered for a second round. Our energy portfolio declined by $42 million during the third quarter, and we expect continued reductions in the fourth quarter and into 2021. We expect to begin submitting information to the SBA during the fourth quarter for forgiveness of our customers' PPP loans. 63% of our PPP loans are below the $50,000 threshold. We have the details supporting our ACL, which is 1.77% total loans as of September 30th, and 1.9% of loans excluding PPP loans from the total. We've highlighted management's qualitative adjustment on that slide. And last, but certainly importantly, we want to recap our asset quality performance in our acquired portfolios for bank acquisitions since 2013. While some of our largest charge-offs and the energy losses have been from acquired portfolios, the comparison of losses to acquired loans versus credit marks to acquired loans has been exceptional. We believe our diligence identified appropriate risk in each of the acquired portfolios and in no case have our charge-offs in any acquired portfolio exceeded our credit mark. Once again, we're very pleased with our ability to identify portfolio risk in acquired banks and manage it within our established marks. Management of credit risk has long been a fundamental strength at Simmons, and we're very proud of our record, including the management of acquired portfolio credit risk. We continue our investment in digital capability our customers are adjusting their habits to the use of more self-service channels, and we expect that trend to continue. We have planned several upgrades to our digital offerings from now through 2021. While we still have much uncertainty in the marketplace today, we're encouraged to see our customers taking their time to understand future opportunities. We will be well prepared to help our economy recover at the appropriate times. I will now turn the line over to our operator and invite questions from analysts and institutional investors.
spk00: Thank you. As a reminder to ask a question, you will need to press star then 1 on your telephone. To withdraw your question, please press the pound key. Again, that is star then 1 if you would like to ask a question. Our first question comes from the line of Brady Gailey with KVW. Your line is now open.
spk04: Hey, thanks. Good morning, guys. Good morning, Brady. Good morning. So I wanted to start with the margin and with spread income. You know, I think before y'all had talked about a core margin that was flat to down slightly. I know it was down, you know, I think around 16 basis points per quarter. I know, you know, with PPP and with the excess liquidity, the margin can sometimes be challenging to look at. But even if you look at spread income dollars. They were down 6% link quarter unannualized. Maybe just talk about what can be done on the spread side and how you're looking at the margin going forward.
spk03: Yeah. Hey, Brady, this is Bob. I would start off with just talking a little bit about our guidance was we expected to be in the 230 to 240 range on a normal, I'm sorry, 340 range. 330 to 340 on a normalized basis when you back out the liquidity and the PPP. And again, like you said, if you normalize it, it would be in the low 330s, which is lower than we had expected. And most of that was driven from a decrease in the loan portfolio. Some of those loans, there was more that matured and paid off this quarter and obviously lower volume just across the banking sector. was the driver in that. So our goal going forward is going to be, you know, one is reinvesting into the security portfolio. Number two is developing reasonable loan programs during this type of environment we're in. We're not going out and stretching it, but looking for opportunities as we continue to move forward.
spk04: Okay. So, Bob, when you look at spread income dollars, do you expect to continue to see some shrinkage there on a quarterly basis going forward, or do you think that you know, at this level it should be roughly flat, looking at spread income dollars?
spk03: You know, I would expect it to be relatively flat, but I tell you, this environment we're in, every day you kind of find a little different out there. But, you know, our expectation is, you know, we've hit the bottom of it, and as we reinvest going forward, we should be picking up. But, you know, again, this environment changes, you know, every week it seems like. But our expectation would be this would be on the bottom end of it.
spk04: Yeah, okay. And then you mentioned the loan shrinkage as one of the big drivers. How do you think about loan balances, you know, going forward? Should we expect a little more shrinkage before bottoming out?
spk02: Hey, Brady, this is George. We would probably expect a little more shrinkage, not much. But let me – Let me give you a couple of statistics here to show what's happened, particularly in the third quarter. So this year, since January, we've had $1.5 billion of early payoffs, so those that paid off before the loan matured. $628 million of that happened in the third quarter. So from a new production standpoint, we have booked $1.4 billion of new production since January 1st. Now, only $850 million of that is funded at this point. But after six months, we had booked $1.2 billion of new production. So what we're seeing in the marketplace is our customers are deleveraging They're paying off their debt, and they're not taking on any new risk. So until we see more certainty in the economy that gives our customers more encouragement to invest, we're a victim of that uncertainty. And who knows, in a couple of weeks, we could have a major change in economic policy. And I suspect most people are just sitting on the sideline to see what's getting ready to happen to them.
spk04: Yeah, that makes sense. Then finally for me is just, um, you know, given the spread income headwinds, you know, you guys have already been pretty good about realizing some efficiencies in your expense base. I think, um, you know, as you put in the release, you close another 23 branches just last week. Is there more work to be done on the expense side, or are there additional opportunities that you can pursue, whether it's on the headcount or branch side, to bring the expense base down to help offset some of this spread income pressure?
spk02: Well, Brady, I think certainly there's additional opportunity for us to compress our non-interest expense, both from a facility standpoint and And I think ultimately from a headcount standpoint, if our customers continue to do their basic banking through digital channels, certainly a more efficient way for us to provide those services to our customers. That's going to really be driven by consumer preference and not anything that we're going to force here at Simmons. I would say that yes, we have an ongoing effort from a branch rationalization We've taken care of what we consider to be the obvious branch closures. Now we're looking at more consolidation within certain markets to provide more products and services in an integrated fashion. So that process is underway, and I would expect us to make great progress during 2021 on that front.
spk03: Brady, this is Bob. I agree with George. A lot has been done this year. I think it's important to know where we were in the first quarter of this year after the landmark acquisition. Our core non-interest expense was $127 million for that quarter. That was before the cost saves related to that acquisition and other branch ride sizing and others. To move down just in two quarters down to $115 million as a normalized cost, is a lot of realized cost saves in a short period of time. And I agree with George. We've got, there's always room, and we're going to, it'll be a lot harder work on the next stage. We've gotten the low-hanging fruit, but there's opportunities. But we have made a lot of progress this year. Great. Thanks for the call, guys.
spk04: Thanks, Brady.
spk00: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Stephen Scouten with Piper Sandler. Your line is now open.
spk08: Hey, everyone. Good morning. Good morning, Stephen. Maybe just first I want to follow up a little bit more on those core NIM trends. I want to confirm, it sounds like you feel like deposits are kind of at their low, and I would assume when you reinvest in securities books that these reinvestment yields are going to be below the average. I'm wondering if you could give some color where those securities yields could be coming on at, and then kind of how you think about the liquidity from here, how much of that excess liquidity could be reinvested in the near term.
spk03: So I'll start, and the first thing I would say is on the investment portfolio, you know, our team has done a really good job the last quarter reinvesting. On the other side, we got to the first of September, and we looked at our portfolio, and there were some opportunities. We asked our team to go out and look at the next 12 to 18 months for calls and basically realize those gains today instead of them being called over the next 12 to 18 months with no gain in the process. We also looked for some nice gains out there that we basically had a year and a half worth of gain of interest income that we took at that time. So we will always look for opportunities on our security portfolio. How we're reinvesting today, and our team is working on it every day, but we're what I would call more of the barbell approach. We've got a portion of our portfolio that we're going longer term. Those are coming in at about 275 yield. And then we're doing the shorter term in the three- to five-year range that are coming in at, you know, in the 150 range. So overall, we're probably in the two and a quarter on a reinvestment range when you look forward and not increasing our duration very much. Moving to the deposits, a lot of work was done in the first quarter, a little bit more in the second quarter. We think there's a little bit more room, not a lot. I mean, you start getting to the low ends, but we continue to look at that, and we believe, you know, in Q4 there will be a little bit of improvement in those rates going forward. Liquidity-wise, we're number one. I mean, there's two sides is where do we put the money, number one, investment portfolio, or two, in the loan portfolio. George mentioned we're looking at that, but, again, we're not going to stretch the loan portfolio in this environment we're in. on the investment. We're going to be very measured and timed as when we go back in. And, you know, our goal would be to reinvest up to about half a billion dollars by the end of the quarter. And the other side of the liquidity, it's really, we can't really control that in this environment. It's based on the deposits. So right now, we've got a lot of deposits that are on the books that have come in when the COVID started. And, you know, we'll see where that goes over time if we maintain that. But that It does have a negative impact on the NIM right now, but that's where we're looking right now.
spk08: Okay. That's a really helpful color. Thanks. And then on the deferred loans, I think you guys said on the mid-quarter call you thought maybe they'd come down to 10% to 15% by the end of the quarter, but it looks like we did a bit better than that. I got it at 8.2% X the PPP loans. My math's right there. So what kind of outperformed expectations maybe on the deferred? the passive deferred loans? And maybe if you could note any color specifically on the hotel book, if possible.
spk02: Okay, so we had probably more payoffs than we expected in the third quarter. But, you know, once again, our customers were not put in a position of borrowing more money before we gave them relief. So many of them were in a position to get back to regular payments earlier than anticipated. And that was their goal. They didn't want to have to pay deferred interest over a period of time. You know, we're very comfortable with our category four through seven loans. And as you can see on one of the slides, almost 60% of that total is hotels. We've done a deep dive into our hotel book, and quite honestly, we're still fairly comfortable with how that's gonna come out. We're seeing gradual increases in occupancy. We still have several hotels under construction. We hope that they're able to open as planned. If they are, then we've got really no problems there. But we're being very cautious in our categorization of these deferred loans. So our field guys have been very focused on helping our current customers come out of this COVID pandemic in good shape and ready to continue to grow. And I think their effort has been the primary reason we're seeing a better performance than we thought we would.
spk08: Okay. That's great. That's great. And then maybe last thing for me, just looking at non-accrual loans and maybe classified loans up a little bit, was there anything meaningful to call out there or to note in the increase in non-accruals? And how do you think about the pace of potential net charge-offs over the next two or three quarters as some of these deferrals and maybe fiscal policy benefits run out?
spk02: Well, I would say we had a couple of large loans went to non-accrual. One was a hotel a loan that's still under construction, but it hit the original opening date. Another is a student housing project in Texas that we're trying to work through today. So the bulk of the increase in our nonperformings were for those two large loans. We don't anticipate any losses on either one of those at this point, but They met our requirement for non-accrual, and that's where they ended up. From a law standpoint, you know, we're trying to err on the side of caution. And when you take a look at our ACL calculations, we thought it was very important to put it in our presentation. Our calculated ACL is below 1%, but our ACL is at 1.77 or 1.9, excluding PPP. So our management adjustment factors, we believe, are very conservative, and particularly in the areas where we recognize some potential weakness, and that's hotels, retail, and certainly our energy portfolio.
spk08: Got it. Very helpful. Thanks for your time this morning, guys.
spk02: You bet.
spk08: Thanks.
spk00: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Matt Olney with Stevenson. Your line is now open.
spk05: Thanks. Good morning, guys. Morning, Matt. I want to stick with the credit discussion. And, George, you just noted that the increase of Donna Krul's in multifamily and hotel. The other loan category I was going to ask you about was retail. I think we saw an uptick of classified loans in the retail category. Any more color you can provide on that by geography or anything? Thanks.
spk02: Matt, it's just a smattering across our entire footprint. And as you know, we have also increased our ACL on our retail portfolio. Some of that was a little late in coming, and we expect that even more will be late in coming. And the reason is this. You know, there's still cash flow from existing leases in those retail facilities. What happens when those leases start renewing? That's when we really will find out if there's any trouble in that portfolio. So we're trying to prepare for that, and we've seen a little bit of it, but there aren't any big loans in our retail portfolio that went to non-accrual. It's just a little bit here and a little bit there across our entire footprint.
spk03: In fact, that whole portfolio is relatively smaller loans. There's no big box retail loans.
spk02: That's right.
spk05: Got it. Okay, that's helpful. And then shifting over to the energy portfolio, it's just 2% of loans now. Can you give us an update as far as efforts to shrink this book even more? I think we talked a few quarters about getting that energy portfolio down to about $100 million by the end of the year, but it looks like we're not going to get there. Any more color on why that's been slower than we originally expected a few months ago?
spk02: Well, yeah, with oil prices where they are, the real time for us to get out of most of the loans, particularly those that are shared national credits, is at a redetermination period. That usually happens a couple of times a year. And what you would expect is that if oil prices were going up, that the available balance would go up and our portion would go up. That is the time that we would signal, we're out, guys. We're not going to raise our percentage. Well, that just hasn't happened. As these redeterminations have been done, the oil price has actually been lower than it was at the previous predetermination and therefore the lines of credit are shrinking, which is okay. We still feel very comfortable that the loans we're in, with a couple of exceptions that we've mentioned before, are still good loans. We're just not an energy lending bank. And in the future, our energy portfolio is going to be with borrowers that we have a deeper relationship with And probably energy is going to be only a portion of their borrowings with us. So it's just taken us a little bit longer to get out of these loans than we expected. But I don't believe it has anything to do with credit deterioration. It's just a timing issue.
spk05: Okay.
spk02: Makes sense.
spk05: And then I guess going back to the discussion around – Loan balances shrinking, securities balances increasing. I just want to think more about the mix of earning assets. And if we go back five or six years ago, I think the securities book represented almost 25% of earning assets, and today we're at 14%. I'm curious where you see this moving to over the next year or so.
spk03: Matt, this is Bob. I would say normalized is probably in the 15% to 18%. Our long-term target is not to build a security book as our main earning asset. I would say, though, in the interim period, while we're going through this period of time, the percentage may increase higher than that 18%, closer to 20 or so. But I wouldn't look for us to go back long-term, back to a 25% in the security portfolio and a 60% loan-to-deposit ratio. We're in the middle of this pandemic and trying to figure out how to navigate through these waters right now. and the safer investment right now is a security portfolio.
spk05: Okay, understood. Thanks, guys. Appreciate your help. Thank you.
spk00: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of David Feaster with Raymond James. Your line is now open.
spk06: Hey, good morning, everybody. Hi, David. Hi, David. I just kind of wanted to start back on the loan side. I mean, obviously, we've talked about the loan market's pretty challenging, but you guys are clearly still open for business with $1.4 billion in organic generation. Just curious where you're seeing demand both by market and what segments are still kind of open for business, and just what's the competitive landscape like right now?
spk02: Well, I would tell you the one area that we are still funding pretty aggressively, I would say, is single-family construction. We have some markets throughout our footprint where developers are doing extremely well. And I think you can see by the mortgage rate results that that industry is still doing well at this point in time. The markets that have really driven our year-to-date new production are Dallas, Fort Worth. Our Northwest Arkansas market has done extremely well. Middle Tennessee, Kansas City has added over $100 million. Here in Central Arkansas, we've added $150 million since the beginning of the year. And then believe it or not, the one division that is leading everyone else is our Arkansas Community Banks. And while none of those banks individually hits our top 10, collectively they've added $325 million of new loan production this year. So it's spread out throughout our entire footprint. Those markets are sort of leading the way.
spk06: Okay, that's helpful. And then just, you know, given the revenue headwinds that we have, you know, one of the benefits of the bank that you've built is just the breadth of the fee income contribution that you have. Just curious whether that can be an opportunity to fill that some of the gap on the NII side and just thoughts on being able to cross-sell some of the acquired institutions that didn't have as much fee income and maybe cross-sell some of these fee income lines into those going forward?
spk02: Well, you've just hit on our 2021 priority. You probably know that we've hired a new head of our wealth division. We have already given him the green light to build out our staff Throughout our entire footprint, we were very concentrated here in Arkansas and in southwest Missouri, had very little presence in some really good opportunity markets. We've also come out with several new credit card products, particularly from a business perspective, a purchasing card that's really doing well. And we believe once we get that rolled out, that'll be a tremendous opportunity for us. We've just put in a new treasury management platform. It's being met with great success. Got a lot of opportunity to build deeper relationships with a lot of our lending customers in that perspective. And then you have seen what's happened with our mortgage business. And just to recap that a little bit, we hired a new head of our mortgage division about a year, year and a half ago. He was given the green light to build out that staff across our entire footprint. And I think the results speak for themselves. So we expect the same kind of performance from our wealth group as they build it out. And I think you're absolutely right. One of our biggest revenue opportunities is in our area of non-interest income.
spk06: Okay. That's helpful. And then just last one from me, could you just talk about your expectations on the PPP forgiveness front and the timing of that? I mean, obviously, you're a huge beneficiary of the smaller loan forgiveness, but how do you think about the timing of the rest? You know, I mean, we're hearing from some folks that might, you know, some borrowers might prefer to delay forgiveness for tax reasons, but I just wanted to get your thoughts on the timing and the magnitude of forgiveness.
spk02: Well, I would say that most of the small loans, we're going to go ahead and get processed this quarter. I don't think that's going to make much of a difference to most of those folks that have $50,000 loans or below. I think they'd like to go ahead and get that behind them as we would. And then we have the two schools. One is I don't want that loan on my books at the end of the year, so I want you to go ahead and process my documentation for forgiveness, and then we have some who may believe that by delaying it there's going to be some tax benefit. We're still unclear about that. If we have a change in administration, I believe there's still going to be a higher tax rate. Whether or not those loans are going to be included in taxable income or not is still uncertain at this point. You know, that's just speculation. They have certainly a longer period of time to submit for forgiveness, and that's caused us to delay recognition of income that we thought we would have by now. So, you know, most of it we expect, or most of the loans we expect to get submitted during the fourth quarter. Potentially most of the income could be deferred into 2021.
spk07: Okay, that's helpful. Thanks, guys. Thanks, David.
spk00: Thank you. As a reminder to ask a question, you will need to press star then one on your telephone. Our next question comes from the line of Gary Tenner with DA Davidson. Your line is now open.
spk07: Thanks. Good morning.
spk00: Morning, Gary.
spk07: I just had a couple of questions. Morning. On the margin side, you gave some color on there. Just wondering about the Funding costs side of things, obviously, you're a little bit hamstrung on what you can do on the loan side in terms of volumes given the current environment. But in terms of pricing of the deposit side, it came down a little bit on the interest-bearing side this quarter, but not very much. Maybe just give us a sense of what your outlook is on pushing those costs down further.
spk03: Well, I think in Q4, you know, we're looking at that and have actively already made some changes, so I'd expect another five, ten basis points, maybe say in the five basis points in Q4. So, you know, it's just harder. It's a big pool to move, but it's just, you know, we're getting towards the low end of the rates there. We still have, obviously, pick up the time deposits as those mature. Those obviously get repriced, so we'll continue to get a little bit of benefit each quarter as we move forward. Other than that, I wouldn't look much in the borrowed fund side. Most of that has either been repriced if they're variable, and if they're not, we locked into those about a year and a half ago when funding started to move up at more of a longer term, a three- to five-year period. Time was a great decision. Now, obviously, looking back, we wouldn't have needed it.
spk07: Okay, thank you. And then on the expense side of things, I wonder if you could just kind of update where you think the kind of core expense number looks kind of with all the dust settling on, you know, the branch rationalization. So what that kind of clean number would look like for 4Q, because I think it would come down a bit further, I think.
spk03: Well, we gave guidance of 115 to 119 per quarter. Obviously, with our core expense for the quarter, we hit right at the low end of that. We do have expense savings coming in. But right now, our guidance is still the 115 to 119 level, we do believe. But as George said earlier, we're going to continue to work on that. I would point out in Q1, as you're going into your 21 model, remember the expenses do go up in that first quarter from payroll taxes and other beginning of the year expenses that do come in. So there is some timing differences on all banks basically. But right now I'd say I'm still in that 115 to 119. Hopefully that's very conservative.
spk07: Thank you. Actually, one last question if I could. You gave the detail in the slide deck today on the kind of credit experience from your acquisitions. I just wonder if you could just update on the two loans you talked about, the hotel and the student housing. Which acquisitions of those came out of?
spk02: One came from Southwest Bank. One came from Bank S&B. All right.
spk07: Thank you very much.
spk02: You bet.
spk00: Thank you. This concludes today's question and answer session. I would now like to turn the call back to Mr. George Makris for closing remarks.
spk02: Well, thank you very much to each of you for joining us today. Once again, we're very pleased with our financial performance for the quarter. So much uncertainty in the marketplace today. We're trying to be as flexible as we can in our decision-making so that when there is some certainty that returns in our customers' are ready to reinvest, we're prepared to help them. So I hope you have a great day, and thanks again for joining us.
spk00: Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
