So as key into think quarter. the strong December a we’re is going I seasonally

make that combined we we fact to so delays to of supply chain get And as really levels got our possible up. much decision – we’ve sure driven with in increase as that ahead has the inventory

as delays in it therefore both you’ve market got well the side, on port, earlier. the in delays, production order the this – side in So to containers and making the to current the on delivery as with

So therefore we have to to order we with to orders up in have keep customer place demand. our –

and So to lines those that’s and inventory. increased our we credit that’s really, increase use why

I David, think you made to is, one mention first gross The margin.

how term you said that what and was again; around was just But b) are should or just I comment. comment it to and think intermediate some going meant remind about that that you think wasn’t color an trending of December trajectory? can put quarter like a) targets I and us sort sure maybe the we the in increase. if that

absolutely. Sure,

million that quarter on our points. our model from And of transportation costs And top the $X prior So costs the target gross we’ve quarter. went up margin by again, mentioned is XX course this or XX. XX to was basis of freight that increase or

like in off. amount looks Now, that off of with are you that is can level discussions that it to operations the leveling rates I people, starting tell my our

And so as we is well in QX, that we second giving up are giving the – or be half. in to so both the as guidance give is

helpful. Really Gotcha.
