spk_5: that's question comes june some some italian please go ahead hagan my nice point yeah ah a so that the sub sea robotic march and guidance for the year was revised lower i'm assuming some wage increases are pressuring your martin's there
spk_2: what what's the opportunity to raise prices in the segment to offset any cost increases so i guess if you know we're still we're stopped rejecting you know that that high twenty average for the year which you know when we an interest paid an exit rate of around thirty or buzzer minus out it's not it's gotta be written down or anything sites montclair that up but pay for pricing i me that i did too great question i'm glad you out because one of the things i think we need to point out is in lpg weakening price almost immediately to call a business in a wee bit that we did that work real time so as soon as we started see the market change weekend we can appreciate that on most all of our jobs in the gulf of mexico immediately after much international but certainly for the gulf of mexico so that that moves really quickly for rv pricing you know were tied to take to six months in be on pricing after several years so so that's all built in a contract doesn't mean we don't go look for it as mean we don't ask for personal surcharges and other things like that but it's harder to move in it takes longer for us to build that up we're starting to see it now we think it continues as i mentioned in the in the notes throughout the year but it it's just a little bit slower walk to get it to get up there and good side that is analysis kind of point out when we you know in the market was in decline we we were able to hold onto those murders for a long time because of the same phenomenon around that sort of their contracting lengths
spk_6: it's just he just moved and a difference between some of the other businesses
spk_5: i understood thanks for that and then just looks like the be math on the implied fourth quarter he beat the calls for seventy five million at the midpoint booth the the third quarter guides midpoint a sixty five and typically the fourth quarter is a weaker quarter for you
spk_2: so why is the fourth quarter significantly stronger this year and how achievable sir wired for football we've got we've got that the the an attack and we do we measure that that you know theocratic improvement in the fourth quarter on we do think that we're going out a longer season in a biggie
spk_7: we see that we do see that walk up or rv out what else momentum and the other one really alerted to here in the called notice the related to the of products sell in manufacture products it it was originally we're looking to conclude as your and cute to
spk_2: when you're when you look at it pray and of materialize you're in the back after year and i would say it's prey to be due for at that point so that i would be one element that could drive you for higher and at the same time as rudd said you are starting to if you look at the map on oh the pricing and when that
spk_8: start to materialize and we start to get our gender ah appreciation yeah we get something cute three and then we're looking for a further leg up a queue for as well

spk_5: no further questions at this time
spk_2: i power i mean if i'm sorry kid we do to follow up that he meant phantom some people get the track it
spk_10: hey so at the last one for me i had just given your concerns regarding receivables just what's the risk of or right down here are how confident are now getting paid yet so so damned dishes more about i think it's activity based where our customers or are are working ah ill and having issues with trying to trying to find personnel just the same as we've been sourcing and i think so many their bills that are being sat and sit as their personal computer job the going to another one and sometimes i think these build aren't getting approved this timeline or just because of their activity level so ah in our customers that we're looking at have cash and in our eyes adult tickets a collection
spk_6: credit issue i think it's more of a time a matter of their ability to process some of the he's ah the bills and as time as we would like so i think that's more the issue then their ability to pay so i don't think it's the collection initiated would necessitate right off
spk_2: right i i wouldn't think at this point there be credit worthy issues but i just wanted to work it came out on her thank you my great great question i appreciate john
spk_5: it's a very generalized phenomenon across some of the some the big guys and and and even even some more nine oil
