In context
“d up their review of that. I think when you think about vapor, the marketplace is a mess right now. And so I think the nature of a pilot program is to learn. They will learn manufacturers, including us, will learn. It's been a very collaborative process with constant engagement through the application review process, which is very different and very encouraging from the FDA we experienced under the previous administration. So I think once you have those learnings, we would hope and encourage the FDA to expand it to other categories. Mirza Faham Baig: I guess just a quick follow-up. Could you clarify that the EPS growth is suggested to accelerate to high single digits over the next couple of years in order to meet your mid-single-digit EPS CAGR. Is that still the ambition? William Gifford: Our ambition is the goal. We haven't changed our goals from an overall CAGR that we stated previously. And that's been our stated goal. So yes, that's the way I would think about how we're going to manage the business going forward. Operator: There appears to be no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Mac Livingston for any closing remarks. Mac Livingston: Thanks, everybody, for joining us today, and have a great day. Operator: This concludes today's call. Thank you for your participation. You may disconnect at any time.”
