In context
“Brian Dykes (Chief Financial Officer): That's right. When you look at it, we are starting to see momentum in some very important international trade lanes. That momentum will carry through into the back half of the year. We're seeing volume recover as trade lanes settle. Also, in the back half of this year, the completion of the elimination of global de minimis in September will drive a significant year-over-year comp benefit. I would also say our international business will perform a bit better than seasonality because of the volume momentum we have going into the fourth quarter, especially with surge fees and other fees we typically see in the market. So we're positive there. And to add to Carol's point on the U.S., Ken, we will see volume growth excluding Amazon in the back half of this year across all segments. We talked about SMB, but we will see volume growth in the back half of this year.”
