increasing profit picture as we went. In terms of one-off, I would not point to any one-off. I think the demand has been pretty solid and it's been pretty well across the board. You look at each of our product categories I've referenced in the script, whether it's S&I or flavor ingredients or any of our segments for that matter, the growth was really quite good and quite broad-based. Certainly there were pockets. where demand is struggling considerably. For example, quick service restaurants. I think that's been a very hard hit area. You look at some other product categories in the sweet flavors and even some of the dairy categories. Some of them not doing as well. Some of them are rebounding. But then, of course, you see seasonings and snacks and things like that doing quite well. So no, I wouldn't point to any one-off. They just generate a lot of good wins. I think that our attrition is way down. And I think one of the things that I kind of talked about last year, but obviously it was somewhat lost in what was going on, but we had very good win rates last year in the flavor group. And what was ultimately suppressing that optically was the fact that we had very high attrition in some of our legacy product lines. Now that we've largely flushed that through, And of course, as you know, we've sold two of our businesses and we expect to sell that third. I think we've very strongly removed that headwind. So I suppose if there's a one-timer that I would point to, maybe it's those businesses kind of going away and you can kind of see that distinction between our gap and non-gap on those business lines. But no, I think ultimately you're getting at the sustainability of the flavor results And I feel really good about flavors moving forward. And I think that mid-single-digit revenue is going to be very, very achievable. And I think we've got a real nice future going there in flavors.
Thank you very much. I'll get back in the queue.
Okay. Thanks, Heidi.
