Sure.

we'll guys and here our QX. really of additional capital you in get into the know, QX as inflow meat So of

come our classes that's portion, a So two bringing those we're XX%, where of in large full-year XX% quarters. will

we we QX. we're customers a we we'll didn't inflow, of normal a headroom year, when extra worked absorbed we for within this existing help last to system excess that's that's inflow, include have hit little plenty all our capacity that seasonal the very CapEx we're more a capacity support continue. importantly, the and in So QX we've point extra outside of pace but the And we of of well. decline had and we sudden, was, right my now, all had capacity. QX, have anticipating have have that'll of here which capacity, more serve significant in through will have. last year this all additional bit our and seeing mid-March, the at And normalized And a what that still Well, cadence. the we And to demand

well. to as that to at your be up you or reported into outflows free I go-forward infer it way the lost demand productivity business. essentially to for I'm wondering, comparisons your on us or to make metric will then, metric, got how see. you're be erosion you've of just to incremental is going work guidance, XXXX of of sort the continue equipment your your come fair of on able this kind fleet looking given we ground is a when basis? see And know obviously sort productivity will your on modest And

we're talking of the alone, because year. comps in we're I just balance significant easy the productivity but of Frankly fleet going have to the double-digits. mean,

So part fleet reason QX. it why of to part comments. we productivity is raised easy that, today we place be that in we're really of I it, coming in about comp. feel good better why guidance, of that's we those expected made But a our absorption out And

And so robust we'll that year-over-year fleet see productivity improvements on the improvement. based year, throughout certainly

didn't question. ask I Yes, the

Thank you.

Our of question next from Thein Timothy the line Citigroup. comes from

question, Your please.

a and mean, just magnitude Yes, it's others one, Jess, and to ask as the from of of a notion to inflation, Fed it's front kind I of of your kind morning. of bit around thank in it. pronounced. and markets, clearly of high-level what's your but the Matt some a some you in you. But wanted pretty in sustainability these as is Good this debate kind I of the of of then increases

then you of the that's customer base at balance. And so and relative hitting is, kind of guess that's a I inflation the at the they're out their to been, look is PPI, the question bit One large, it's prices CPIs -- twofold. if selling at or you look that your

managed more backdrop the help I'm you I'm just think not from an further standpoint specific could rental with general, kind opportunity rate -- about from inflationary to standpoint, So of rental about it historically And points P&L, this the specifically industry a Obviously, kind I'm then I'm the your from in talk how What and that's have trying of then maybe labor not that again, about the rates, the Thank does your saying -- and mean but but an potential rental -- within and I'm rates -- cost backdrop, or does side interplay within that pressure United, big well, just hurt just inflationary equipment of asking not you the how United's to opportunity more is to potentially asking inflation, opportunity P&L? know again, with specific that what pressures of on a there? I are an guys inflationary asking you. go to in rent. about from rates. one. more but industry And does

I'll tied to and productivity. do you Jess of so it the Sure. I'll I'll replacing customer's to kind and perspective part a of of answer ask inflation. rate, internal From the fleet it the take care first might

that it's remembers, put what our talk First out sure in business. the job to would drive a is field, foremost, components bit, bogey, managers customers. absorbed can fleet outpace what need. accelerated do everybody being make it's in of period if looking leaned help be see productivity, just that we will we inflationary we upon certainly, and we all to when be our productivity any every be That manifests. X.X% why that. we understand inflationary forward environment, pay that by could inflation, would And an to we'll about up in for how fleet And and costs And natural with

understand the dynamic. they'll So

think positive. could does as industry, inflation about rental as it of industry, now we'd think for as far that as overall, you for cost an capital secular drive the I when what a see that and people It'd some People that just favorable so. we for rent gap make even what that versus already help it look even pencils would drive more would. can that we to own, give a think very well penetration

you inflation benefit that'd handle can then say I'd internal the industry. question. a Jess, for be And the So

Good Tim. Sure, thanks, Hi, Matt. morning.

from P&L perspective, if it So a I right. about think

individual revenue gets of So up, component from, component, fleet the and components how environment within course, and and of cost that course component, come sets the that. the support P&L the the will kind right of there's productivity the and revenue that in

it, like would branch have consideration. insourcing for that. in for we've the and you a other is talked efficiencies costs, on labor And the like then up we but that talked working side -- we the more by about we it's merit drive So and within of sure premium tighten if mentioned things do leveraging and utilities normal increases component that merit that we ways talk looking we P&L to productivities about costs one training outsourcing as things smarter lot our like employees, managing addition our a shift facility and as just can in on network, costs I to the and lots cost cost within other things other through leaning things inflationary unlike in business efficiency and our repair, than scale like of benefits of support better not so on across to delivery and offsets in contracts whether also increases our and in with course the through the

other we'll that And ultimately we protect EBITDA the in and margins the increases offset always look to the so, to can where delivering we're business.
