In context

John Murphy (President & Chief Financial Officer): Thanks, Chris. Maybe just a refresh for those listening on where we are with the tax case. We had oral arguments at the end of June and the timing of a decision from the appellate court is unknown at this stage. We have talked in the past about that being six to twelve months out, and that's about the best I can offer at the moment. Not a whole lot more to add to what our current views are beyond what we argued. We continue to have confidence that we will ultimately prevail. And then on best case, worst-case outcomes, best-case scenario is we win the case, and we will have a recourse to what we've already deposited with the IRS. And the worst case is we have — we detailed that in our financial disclosures. So at the moment, we've passed through a considerable milestone in June. We await to see what happens. And clearly, we'll provide more context on that when it arises, Chris. But thus far, we're happy with where we are and look forward to the next milestone.
