In context

hat you are seeing in the region and where that deceleration is coming from for next year? Bill Brown: So thanks for the question. China actually had a very good year for us, good couple of years. In '24, we were up double digits. Last year, we were up mid-single digits. It was a little bit lighter in Q4, but only because of, as Anurag had mentioned in his prepared remarks, the shift out of China smartphone production when you exclude that, the market, you know, the China business for us remained mid-single digits. And as we turn the corner to this year, yeah, the macro is softening a little bit. You know, what we are expecting, I think two points down year over year on IPI. At least as we see it today. And the forecasts see it again, this could go in lots of different ways. You know, but we see that market to be more low to mid-single digits this year. Still growing, maybe not as robustly as we saw last year, but still low to mid-single digits. You know, the bottom line is we run China a little bit differently in the company, just like we do India. It is a hybrid model. So we have global business groups and a really strong, dedicated, driven local team. We are driving a lot of localization of R&D, localization of sourcing, we are attacking the market. We have got six factories there, 5,000 people, and we have got people lined up to really drive that business. And I think we are performing well. And I would say we are outperforming it. I expect the same thing here in '26. Nicole DeBlase: Thanks, Bill. That is helpful. And then obviously, had quite a bit of new noise from a tariff perspective. Over the weekend. So can you just confirm the tariff headwind that you guys are embedding in 2026 does not include any of this potentially
