For the full fiscal '26, we now expect revenues to be in the range of 3% to 5% growth in local currency over fiscal '25, including an estimated 1% impact from our Federal business. Excluding the impact of Federal, our revenue is expected to be an estimated 4% to 6%. This year, we continue to expect an inorganic contribution of about 1.5%.
