Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by and welcome to the Teledyne third quarter earnings call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question and answer session. Instructions will be given at that time. If you should require assistance during the call, you can press star and then zero. And as a reminder, this call is being recorded. I'd now like to turn the conference over to our host, Mr. Jason Van Weese. Please go ahead, sir.
speaker
Jason Van Weese
Thanks, Brad, and good morning, everyone. This is Jason Van Weese, vice chairman of Teledyne. I'd like to welcome everyone to our third quarter earnings release conference call. And of course, we released our earnings earlier this morning for the market open. Joining me today are Teledyne's Chairman, President, and CEO, Robert Morabian, Senior Vice President and CFO, Sue Main, and Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and Secretary, Melanie Sivek. After remarks by Robert and Sue, we will ask for your questions. However, before we get started, attorneys have reminded me to tell you that all forward-looking statements made this morning are subject to various assumptions, risks, and caveats, as noted in the earnings release and our periodic SEC filings. And of course, actual results may differ materially. In order to avoid potential selective disclosures, this call is simultaneously being webcast and a replay, both via webcast and dial-in, will be available for approximately one month. Here's Robert.
speaker
Brad
Thank you, Jason. Good morning, and thank you for joining our earnings call. I'm very pleased with both our operational execution and our financial performance in the third quarter. We achieved record revenue, 75.2% greater than last year, driven by organic growth of 11.9%, and the remaining 63.3% of sales increased contributed by Teledyne Clear. Revenue increased organically in every major business group, but was especially strong in our commercial imaging and electronic test and measurement instrumentation businesses, where organic growth for each was greater than 20% in the quarter. Furthermore, orders exceeded sales for the fourth consecutive quarter with a third-quarter book-to-bill of 1.1. Gap earnings per share of $2.81 increased 13.3% compared to last year and was $0.03 less than our record gap third-quarter earnings achieved in 2019. Excluding acquisition-related charges, earnings were $4.34 per share in the third quarter, an increase of 61.9% on a comparable basis from 2020. Cash flow was a third-quarter record, allowing repayment of $300 million of debt while our leverage ratio declined to 3.3 from 3.7 at the end of the second quarter. Teledyne FLIR performed strongly in its first full quarter. Integration efforts have been swift, and we are increasingly excited about the long-term future with Teledyne. We continue to accelerate the pace of planned synergies and currently expect to achieve our annual cost saving target of $80 million before the middle of 2022, as opposed to the end of 2022, as we described in our July earnings call, and compared with 2024, as noted when we announced the transaction in January of 2021. Regarding our execution in the quarter, Teledyne is not immune to supply chain issues, inflation, and other operational challenges. However, to date, we've been successfully navigating and managing these issues, and today we're pleased to increase our full year sales, margin, and earnings outlook compared with the outlook we presented in July. On a full year basis, we now think a reasonable outlook for organic sales growth in 2021 is approximately 7% to 7.5%, led by forecasted growth of almost 13% in digital imaging, which excludes Teledyne FLIR. This translates to total sales of $4.59 billion, with contribution of $2.4 billion from digital imaging, including Clear. I will not further comment on the performance of the four business segments. In our digital imaging segment, third quarter sales increased 217.3%. largely due to the FLIR acquisition, but organic growth in our combined commercial and government imaging businesses was also very strong at 17.9%. Sales of industrial and scientific vision systems were a record, and healthcare sales returned to pre-pandemic levels. Gap segments Operating margin was 12.5%, but adjusted for transaction costs and purchase accounting, segment margin was 23.9%. In our instrumentation segment, overall quarter sales increased 9% versus last year. Sales of electronic test and measurement systems which include oscilloscopes and protocol analyzers, were exceptionally strong and increased 20.8% year-over-year to record levels. Sales of environmental instruments increased 7.6% from last year, with sales related to human health and safety markets such as drug discovery and gas and flame detection being strongest in the quarter. Sales of marine instrumentation increased 3.2% in the quarter. In addition, orders were the strongest in the last six quarters with a quarter book-to-bill of 1.13. Overall, instrumentation segment operating profit increased 24.3% with segment operating margin increasing 270 basis points or 247 basis points, excluding intangible asset amortization. In the aerospace and defense electronics segment, third-quarter sales increased 11.7 percent, driven by 8.4 percent growth in defense, space, and industrial sales combined with a 27% increase in sales of commercial aerospace products versus last year's pandemic-related top quarter. GAAP operating profit increased 34.5%, with margin 375 basis points greater than last year. in the engineered system segment. Third quarter revenue increased 1.4%, but operating profit and margin declined slightly since we exited the higher margin turbine engine business earlier this year. But before turning the call over to Sue, I want to comment on our margin and earnings outlook. For several years, we've been on a journey to move our overall operating margin from the low teens to over 20%. Over the last two and a half years, we've made tremendous progress, notwithstanding the pandemic and the recent supply chain and inflationary pressures. Today, the approximate $1 increase in our earnings outlook is primarily the result of further improvement in our full year 2021 forecasted operating margin, which, excluding acquisition-related charges, is 100 basis points better at approximately 21% from our 20% forecast in July. And now to Sue.
speaker
Jason
Thank you, Robert, and good morning, everyone. I will first discuss some additional financials for the quarter not covered by Robert, and then I will discuss our fourth quarter and full year 2021 outlook. In the third quarter, cash flow from operating activities was $192.8 million, including all acquisition-related costs. Excluding acquisition-related cash costs, net of tax, Cash from operations was $194.9 million, compared with cash flow of $150.3 million for the same period of 2020. Free cash flow, that is cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures, excluding acquisition related costs, was $165.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $135.1 million in 2020. Capital expenditures were $29.2 million in the third quarter compared to $15.2 million for the same period of 2020. Depreciation and amortization expense was $90.2 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $29.2 million in 2020. In addition, non-cash inventory step-up expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $35.2 million. We ended the quarter with approximately $3.89 billion of net debt. That is approximately $4.44 billion of debt, less cash of $551.8 million. Stock option compensation expense was $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $5.7 million for the same period of 2020. Resulting from the FLIR acquisition, restricted stock unit expense for FLIR employees was $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Turning to our outlook. Management currently believes that GAAP earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2021 will be in the range of $2.53 to $2.69 per share. with non-GAAP earnings in the range of $4.07 to $4.17. And for the full year 2021, our GAAP earnings per share outlook is $9.13 to $9.29, and on a non-GAAP basis, $16.35 to $16.45, compared with our prior outlook of $15.25 to $15.50. The 2021 full-year estimated tax rate excluding discrete items is expected to be 23.9%. In addition, we currently expect less discrete tax items in 2021 compared with 2020. I'll now pass the call back to Robert.
speaker
Brad
Thank you, Sue. We would now like to take your questions. Operator Brad, if you're ready to proceed with the question and answers, please go ahead.

And if you're using a speakerphone, please pick up the handset before pressing those numbers. Once again, to ask a question, press 1 and then 0 at this time. And we can go right now to Greg Conrad with Jefferies. Please go ahead.
speaker
Brad
Good morning and great quarter.
speaker
Operator
Thank you, Brad.
speaker
Brad
Maybe just to start, I mean, you talked about a lot of the higher outlook based on the margin, you know, at least on the beat, it seems pretty broad based across segments. I mean, how do you think about the drivers there and just sustainability given tailwinds or potential headwinds and I think previously you've always had a target of how much margin expansion you'd like to capture per year. I mean, has anything changed around that as margins have reset higher?
speaker
Brad
Well, I think, Greg, our expectation is that our margins will keep increasing as we projected We think it's still 50, maybe 60 basis points per year above where we are. And I say that perhaps earlier I may have said 100 basis points, but our margins have moved up to 21% on Q3. So it's going to get a little tougher, but we intend to improve margins as we go along.
speaker
Brad
And then just, I mean, you mentioned accelerating the FLIR synergies the middle of next year. I mean, what allowed you to pull that forward, and maybe what does that mean for the longer-term potential to drive productivity and take costs out of the business?
speaker
Brad
I think in addition to wages, which are significant about the net benefits about $45 million. The more important thing that we've been able to manage to do is reduce dependence on third-party consultants, legal savings, and frankly, lobbies. As you know, Greg, we don't have lobbies at Teledyne. So, of course, the board fees and public relations and so on, those help. But third-party consultants and legal lobbies are the, you know, there's, I'd say, $28 million, $30 million.
speaker
Brad
And then just last one for me. I mean, you briefly mentioned inflation before. I mean, how do you think about the offsets there? How much within the supply chain versus are there specific areas of the business where Maybe you have more flexibility around pricing, just trying to think about broader risk of price mix.
speaker
Brad
So far, when we look at the PPI, inflations are pretty high. We're not experiencing as much as we anticipated in the price pressure to us from our suppliers. Having said that, some of our suppliers more recently have come out with 20%, 25% price increases. Good part of it is we have long-term agreements with some of them, so those would moderate. As for ourselves, so far this year, we've been able to increase prices on the average about 2%. What that means in some businesses, we can't... obviously increased prices because we have long-term contracts, Greg. But in other businesses, we do have the ability to increase prices. So on the average, we've increased 2%. Our intention is to continue doing that, and perhaps especially next year, we'll start early and see how much elasticity we have in our prices.
speaker
Operator
Thank you.
speaker
Brad
Thank you, Greg. Thanks.
speaker
Operator
And next we can go to line of Mike McGurry with Wolf research. Please go ahead.
speaker
Mike McGurry
Hey, good morning everyone. Thank you for the time. Um, so I'm just curious within your government business, are there any watch items like new starts or programs with significant ramps, um, that you're keeping a closer eye on while the U S is operating under this continuing resolution?
speaker
Brad
Yes, Mike, I think first let me start by saying our government businesses are about 26, 27% of our total. The two opportunities that we are keeping an eye on are underwater vehicles, and there is a medium underwater UUV that the government is soliciting proposals on, and we're bidding on that across the engineer systems and our marine businesses together, just like we do with gliders and other things. And then there's the large underwater vehicle that we expect to bid on. Some of the other, in digital imaging, we have the Wide Field of View, or what's called WFOV, early warning satellite. That's an opportunity for us. Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared, OPEAR, is another one. The downside, if there is a downside, is we have to rebid our NASA program, what we call MOSI, which is the Mission Systems Program, later this year. We bid on it yet, but the decision would be later. And there's always a risk when you're doing that. But overall, there's a whole range of new programs that are available to us, even under the continuing resolution.
speaker
Mike McGurry
Got it. And then to the point in your release about the recovering the longer cycle business, now that you have that, would you sort of be willing to talk about the early trends that you're seeing into next year within the business?
speaker
Brad
Right now, I would say the opportunities would be in our marine businesses, primarily because the oil prices, as you're well aware, might have moved up significantly. And we had a book-to-bill of 0.13 this quarter. We also think that we will have more opportunities in aerospace and defense businesses, especially on the aerospace side, people start traveling more. We think that marine may have an upside next year of maybe $25 million, and controls, which is our computers that go on various aircraft, that can have a similar number, 20 to 25. Those are longer cycle businesses, and so far they look all right. On the shorter cycle, which The other side of the instrument, we enjoyed a 9% increase overall, and TNM, our test and measurements, doing well. And we hope that with our new products that we keep developing, they'll have some bump next year, too.
speaker
Mike McGurry
Got it. Thank you.
speaker
Operator
Thank you, Mark. And next, we can go to the line of Elizabeth Grunfeld with Bank of America. Please go ahead.
speaker
Mark
Hi, good morning. As we think about the FLIR integration and the acceleration and the timeline to achieving the initial cost savings, where do you think we could potentially see additional upside to, I think, before the top side had been to $100 million? I mean, how much additional headroom is there into achieving additional cost synergies and savings?
speaker
Brad
Elizabeth, let me start with, I hope I didn't misquote myself. Our topside savings for which we moved forward from 2024 to 2022 is $80 million. Having said that, there are other opportunities, but there would be more opportunities in the developing products between FLIR's offerings and Teledyne's offerings. And as we move the revenue up and keep our costs down, we think that will help improve our margins. But we haven't factored that in the revenue synergies yet. because right now we're still integrating. We've integrated some of the businesses very quickly, like they make mid-range vision systems and make high-end vision systems, and those we've coupled right away, and that's worked out really well. But we're still working on the rest of the stuff, like in the marine, pre-marine and our marine businesses, There are opportunities. There are opportunities between their rain marine businesses and our software businesses and underwater software businesses at CARES. We're working on all of those. As we do that, I think those would create more savings as we go forward.
speaker
Mark
Okay. And then as you continue to deliver, how are you considering or thinking about the M&A environment and additional opportunities to grow inorganically.
speaker
Brad
Yeah, but first on the delivering, we're not sitting at 3.3x net debt to EBDA. We hope to take that down to about 2.7 by the end of 2022. That would be our marker. As we look at that, when you kind of start getting confident that you're going to go there, you start looking at larger acquisition potentials because those things take a little time to get, eight, nine months. But in the interim, we will look at, and we are looking at, smaller acquisitions. As we did back in 2017, when we acquired the E2B, our debt-to-BDA ratio was pretty high. We very quickly delivered over the next three years, but in the interim, we also bought about $500 million of smaller assets. So we'll do the shorter term. We'll do small acquisitions. In the longer term, We've promised, I've promised the rating agencies that we won't do anything very big until we're sure we can hit our targets.
speaker
Operator
Okay, thank you.
speaker
Brad
Thank you, Alison.
speaker
Operator
And next, we can go to the line of Jim Ricciuti with Needham & Company. Please go ahead.
speaker
Jim Ricciuti
Hi, good morning. Robert, question on the... On the FLIR business, organic growth there looks like it was fairly modest. And I don't recall them having much of an EST contribution in last year's Q3. Is any of this either portfolio realignment? Their commercial business appears to be doing okay. I think the machine vision business probably was pretty healthy. Is it their government-related business that was a little slower?
speaker
Brad
Actually, Jim, if I may, their EST business, which was out of their components, which they make the sensors and the solutions businesses, the commercial solution businesses, was generated about $40 million in revenue last year in Q3. I'd say $35 to $40 million. And their Q3 last year, including that, was about $466 million. This year, third quarter, the revenue is $474 million. So with no EST revenue. So if you were to look at it apples to apples and take the 40 out of the 466, you're looking more like a 426, 427 last year versus the 474. So there's significant growth there. Second, we've had reasonably good growth in our defense segment, the FLIR defense segment, of about 3.5% this year versus last year primarily coming from the unmanned systems. So there's been growth in the commercial as well as in the defense businesses. If you were to moderate things, if you were to subtract the SD sales last year, third quarter.
speaker
Jim Ricciuti
No, thanks for clarifying that. You're right. They did about 90 million in Q2. And even though it was down to 40 million Q3, That's still a fairly significant contribution. Thanks for pointing that out, Robert. On the test and measurement business, you guys have performed really well there. And what I'm wondering is, structurally, is there anything changing in that business, in that market? Is it market share gains? Is it the activity you're seeing in the protocol analyzer business? Are you gaining share, do you think, in the scopes business?
speaker
Brad
Yeah, Jim, both. First of all, we're hitting on all cylinders on our protocol analyzer businesses. If you combine our protocol analyzer and oscilloscope sales, that was a record for us, all-time record this quarter. We see very strong demand for our protocol analyzers like PCI Express, as well as high-definition multimedia video products. The other thing that we've been successful at is we've combined our oscilloscopes with our protocol analyzers, which saves significant amount of time for engineers that are developing interfaces between products. And that's been a real winner for us. So it's a combination. Good market for oscilloscopes, great market for protocol analyzers, and an upside when you combine the two together with new products.
speaker
Jim Ricciuti
Got it. Two quick final questions, and this next question may be difficult to answer, but you do seem to be navigating the component environment fairly well. But I'm wondering if you can say whether there's been any identifiable disruption to revenues, or in other words, revenues that you perhaps would have been able to achieve in the quarter, but it's just challenging to get parts.
speaker
Brad
Yeah, Jim, that's a great question. Yeah, I can answer that because we track that one very closely. First, in the quarter, I'd say we probably didn't enjoy about $40 million of revenue that we could have because of shortages. Now, we were fortunate because the way our portfolio of business is laid out, as you're very familiar with, We can make some of that up in other places. We have a balanced portfolio, and these shortages are not hitting everything we do. And by the way, those are not lost sales. They just moved to Q4. We expect to have a similar number in Q4. We're looking at Q1 of next year and see similar issues. So it's kind of a shifting game. But we make it up by... pulling in from other parts of our portfolio. Having said that, we have an extremely active program from the procurement side where we have a major initiative in procurement automation, but we also have procurement working interestingly with our suppliers in the Far East who provide us PCBAs they have access to components that go into those PCBAs, and they're helping us get some of the computer chips and other components that we need. And we also have some dedicated people in the forest doing the same thing. So it's a combination. Take the $40 million, push it forward. Take $40 million from this current quarter, push it forward, pull in some stuff where we can, and kind of As I said before, we're navigating it. I think so far we've done okay.
speaker
Jim Ricciuti
Got it. And last question, Robert. You alluded to a fairly strong book to bill in Marine. Can you give us a sense of book to bill in the various segments, digital imaging and the A&D? Sure. Sure, Jim.
speaker
Brad
Let me start with Marine. I gave that. In environmental and test and measurement, it's 1.05 in Q3. Recall that we had, in TNM, we had record sales in Q3. So 1.05 is pretty good. Digital imaging, I'd say 1.12. And AD&E, which is our defense and aerospace businesses, 1.06. Engineered systems, 1.05, about. Jim, and overall, that brings it to about 1.1. Got it.
speaker
Jim Ricciuti
Thanks very much. Congratulations on the quarter.
speaker
Operator
Thank you, Jim. And we'll move to the line of Andrew Buscaglia with Berenberg. Please go ahead.
speaker
Jim
Morning, guys. I'm not supposed to bill... comment can you you know within digital imaging can you indicate how bookings are for FLIR there's mothers but they're in the 1.1 in the digital imaging side okay okay so still above one though yeah okay okay and then sorry what was that
speaker
Brad
No, I said in the digital imaging side.
speaker
Jim
Yeah, right. Okay.
speaker
Brad
Yeah.
speaker
Jim
Okay. And you talked, you know, fairly, you know, positively about government, you know, still gaining your fair share of government awards potentially. Would FLIR help? Are there any related to FLIR that you could talk to? And maybe not so much near term, but anything you see on the horizon in 2022 that as that was always kind of a sore spot for them in terms of winning new awards that are meaningful.
speaker
Brad
Yeah, I got to tell you that we're holding our own there. Things have moved a little to the right, but we've gotten some nice orders, especially, for example, in the U.S. Border Patrol, where we deliver light vehicle surveillance systems. We have some DARPA program that could lead to other activities in the personal protective biosystems. Overall, I think we're holding our own there, and I expect we'd do okay. But, you know, again, Andrew, to me, what's important is even if you look at our government businesses with FLIR, we have a balanced portfolio. And unfortunately, they may have suffered a little bit because too focused a portfolio. We have a balanced portfolio between our engineered systems, the FLIR unmanned both ground and air systems and integrated systems. And then we have, of course, our defense programs in our aerospace and defense. So we gained about 3.5% in those programs, in our government programs in Q3. That may sound modest when you look at the overall growth of 11.9% organic, But I'm happy with that. If we can keep that pace in this time going forward, we should be okay.
speaker
Jim
Okay. And maybe just lastly, you're seeing some of your longer cycle businesses pick up a bit. I know it's small, but can you just comment on what's going on with energy specifically? You know, it's tied to energy exposure.
speaker
Brad
Yeah, I think the first is because of... The oil prices, we expect that we get about a 3% increase from 2021 to 2022. In total sales from, let's say, $150 million up, maybe $275 million. That's a little more than 3% as I think about it, but... It's more like 2.1. But having said that, again, I'll fall back on what we've constructed our portfolio. We get 3% here, 4% there. We get defense. We get an ASG. We get our short cycle businesses. And then, of course, digital imaging, which hitting on all cylinders there. We think we're going to be okay. So there's upside in energy, but I'm not counting on it to move the whole company. The whole company will move because of all the pieces that we have put together that protect us, by the way, of the downside, as you well know, Andrew.
speaker
Jim
Yeah. Okay. Thanks, Robert.
speaker
Brad
Thank you. Do we have any other questions coming up?
speaker
Operator
Currently, we just have Joe's line is open and nobody following Joe. Okay.
speaker
Brad
Joe?
speaker
Peladon
Hey, guys. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Hey, good morning. So you kind of hinted at this already, but if you were to kind of think about FLIR, X to EST, What do you think is, like, the true growth rate that you're exiting 21 at into 22, and is that kind of a sustainable rate into 22?
speaker
Brad
Right now, if you subtract out EST, which, as I mentioned, we had no revenue this year, I think it would be in the mid-single digits, just like we think Peladon should be.
speaker
Peladon
Yeah. And then if you were to contemplate,
speaker
Brad
Yeah, go ahead. I'll just say this. You know, when we started the year, Joe, when we started the year, we said our organic growth would be 5.5% to 6%. As we went to summertime in July, we said it'd be 6.6%. And then when we came... Today, I said it'd be between 7% and 7.5%, 7.25%. So I'm hoping, and I use the word hoping, that when I say mid-single digits, like 5%, that would be a good beginning for us next year.
speaker
Peladon
Yep, understood. If you're talking about getting to, like, an $80 million run rate in savings by mid-22 for FLIR, What does that kind of imply for a margin there? If we want to talk EBITDA, whatever is easiest to talk about.
speaker
Brad
Well, I think I mentioned earlier, we anticipate to improve our margins 50 to 60 basis points across the company year over year. And whether it's non-GAAP, or EBITDA, by the way, our EBITDA now is about this quarter was 24.2%. I think that will help improve our non-GAAP margins up. For FLIR today, it's about 24%, which is significantly higher than we've enjoyed historically. And for 21, our overall margin, we expect the non-GAAP margin, which excludes, of course, the intangibles and costs associated with the purchase accounting. If you go to 21 percent, and if we can enjoy 50 basis points on top of that, some of the contribution, serious contribution coming from FLIR, we'd be very happy with that. Bear with me on this, Joe. I'm giving you what I see in January happening throughout next year. As we get to January, if nothing terrible happens in the world, hopefully we'll do better. But right now, I'll stay with the 50 basis points.
speaker
Peladon
And then just one last question, more high level. There's been talk, stories recently about China with nuclear gliders and suborbital. Can you just talk about what this means for space-based detection and sensing and where you guys are positioned there and how that market can develop further given new threats that we need to deal with?
speaker
Brad
Yeah, we have two examples that I can give you. One of them is in our engineer system segment. We have a contract where we're developing a wind tunnel for vehicles that are of the nature that you just mentioned. And that's very important because to test hypersonic vehicles, you want to have a wind tunnel to be able to do that, a hot wind tunnel. And we have a small program, $50 million, which we think will be followed by a bigger program that is specifically for hypersonic vehicles. And the other side, we do have sensors in the A and D segment of FLIR and also, especially, that I meant digital imaging in general, but we have sensors that are being developed and used, edge computers that are located on various vehicles for detection of high-speed missiles. And if that market starts growing, then we do have a series of products. And then we have one that I cannot describe too much. We do have a very strong programs, I said multiple programs, in our imaging businesses here in Townsend Oaks. That's the one that locates infrared and other sensors on satellites and space vehicles. Those are classified programs, and we're enjoying some really good opportunities. That's actually led to growth of our imaging programs.
speaker
Peladon
Thanks, guys.
speaker
Operator
Thank you very much. We do have a follow-up question. We'll go to the line of Mike McGrory with Wolf Research. Please go ahead.
speaker
Mike McGurry
Hey, thanks for getting me back on. Unless I missed it somewhere, Robert, would you be able to go around the horn on the change in growth rate at the segments that drove the change in guidance?
speaker
Brad
Yeah, let me see. I can do that. So in July, we anticipated that the growth rate in instruments would be about 6, 6.2%. And we expect that to continue. In digital imaging in July, we anticipated about 11.8%. We're raising that to about 13%. In our aerospace and defense segment in July, we anticipated 4.4% about, and now we think it'd be closer to six. Engineer systems, we expected to shrink about 1.7%, and it will shrink 1.7%. When you add those up, Mike, in July, we anticipated that our Organic growth would be about 6.6%. If you add the numbers up that I just mentioned and round them up, it will be between 7% to 7.5%. Let's say 7.25% organic growth. And that's kind of going around the horn, as you mentioned.
speaker
Mike McGurry
Thank you.
speaker
Brad
For sure.
speaker
Operator
And currently no further questions in queue.
speaker
Brad
Thank you. Brad, I'll now ask Jason to conclude the conference call, please.
speaker
Jason Van Weese
Thanks, Robert. And again, you know, if anyone has follow-up questions, my number is on the earnings release. Please feel free to call and email me. And Brad, if you'd give the replay information, conclude the call, we'd be appreciative. Thanks, everyone.
speaker
