Kara to will next Riley. Anderson with We B. move

Hi, good morning.

Kara. Hi,

I on new is low this to provide could was OVP the of margin have that’s margin if before? this you pushed the whether you wondering business, on more through you and just color experienced product whether being kind segment

Yes.

in I typical periods Napolitano. seeing history. segment. you have think Jason Kara, There OVP margins for is the our are this fairly are been The

but in pretty XX%, We much have have, book business got we expectations. is recent this maybe of up the for line in to that particular with times

QX, remind double-digit in really nice, I up full if imaging on am such again, lumpy but why down was your just I can this in to you QX. year business? it business, growth guess, the I I And guidance, is in quarter XX% second the Okay. a seasonally, or know then half. it fly QX think comment typically strong doesn’t why me is on guess wondering a

Well, the relative dollars are small.

And will mean I you I of so picture. to a just a word kind give

last the of high business a on the the have that X this to Saturday Saturday on day the amount. that’s $XXX,XXX happen on you shipping units sitting actually needle a moves and if reasonable quarter was that for dock So

year. transaction And so the just $XX,XXXish, the transactions size during just fewer and particular that your in is transaction is given there is that fact area per large lumpiness $XX,XXXish there

So than They it’s tracking good timing healthy. probably in matters like are forecast more that business. that, of We others. our

to don’t change think So, an out, think that’s imaging it’s in for any year. always we don’t literally going year has been fourth decades, business And unusual as been has pointed stacked foreseeable this we stick. you quarter and a or hockey always it

Kara off is good expenditure large is advantage they pull that has tax in quarter. a historically, This fourth such buying the and been some late veterinarians to tradeshow We usually capital can also get there tax in to major the the advantage think year. pickup there
