How to check this claim
Look at: Adjusted operating income margin, first-half vs second-half of fiscal year 2023

Where: Company quarterly earnings releases (Q2, Q3, Q4 2023) adjusted operating income margin disclosures

And then revenue is a little bit more weighted and look at the year as a whole to the second-half versus the first-half. That's the other piece that drives the profitability in EPS difference. Thanks, Dan. Stephen Williamson: Yes. Okay, helpful. Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from Vijay Kumar from Evercore ISI. Vijay, your line is now open. Please proceed with your question.
