In context
“o. But clearly, the footprint just under 100 is bigger than we really need today. Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Julian Mitchell with Barclays.

On below the line, we will see a couple of pennies of headwinds relative to last year. Last year, in the second quarter, we had a divestment of an investment that we had in India, which was about $0.08 to $0.10. Then you see a little bit of tax, which was favorable in Q1 comin”
