In context
“to more normal cash levels. So we will have some impact in non-op pension as well, but all of that will be offset by lower share count. But if you take the net interest pension offset by the lower share count, it's about a $0.10 headwind year over year. So you put that together, we should grow EPS by about $0.05 to $0.10 year over year. Now sequentially, you're correct. It's seasonally, you know, revenue should be up about $300 million should come with good flow through. But as I said, there is some offsets around the timing of Q1 items. There is some step up in the investments. So what you will see is about $0.05 to $0.10 again operationally It should be good, and $0.05 benefit from a little bit below the line. So sequentially, also, we should see about $0.10 to $0.15 benefit on the EPS. So overall, if you put all of that together for the first half, our EPS will grow about $0.22 to $0.27. Is actually pretty much 50% of the growth of what we expect for the full year. And second half should kind of mirror that too. Amit Mehrotra: Okay. Very helpful. Thank you. And then I guess maybe one for Bill in terms of you you obviously have a lot of efficiency actions that the company is pursuing. I wonder if what's happening now gives you an opportunity to accelerate some of those actions. If you can just talk about the opportunity that you see there, that'd be helpful. Thanks. So it's a good question, Amit. I mean, look. This is Bill Brown: it's a challenging situation that we happen to be in. The environment's moving pretty quickly, but, you know, the team has responded very, very well. The actions that I've talked about I talk about it in very large buckets, but the reality is this”
