We expect gross margin expansion to begin in the second quarter due to actions to mitigate tariffs and recovery of transitory impacts from Win Now. We expect earnings to be flattish with gross margins beginning to inflect and disciplined SG&A management, setting the foundation for earnings recovery from there. We also recognize that the environment around us has become increasingly dynamic, and we could experience unplanned volatility due to the disruption in the Middle East, rising oil prices, and other factors that could impact either input costs or consumer behavior.

We expect revenues in Q4 to be down 2% to 4%, with mode
