“My first question, just kind of on the pipeline. So, on the one hand, you have this state-of-the-art, you know, one-of-a-kind facility in Conway that's creating this demand pull.”
“My first question here is a bit of a follow-on to just, you know, understanding the sort of startup costs of these initial new products. Could you just expand on kind of what those costs were?”
“So I just wondered if you could touch on your source of cash outlook here. So you got $50 million in cash on the balance sheet or so, and then plan to spend another $50, $55 in capex this year.”
“Okay, so it sounds like at least a Forest Park, you know, excluding the Alpine wing, just two phases. The second one's already underway. And then Grouse Mountain, it sounds like, you know, first phase is underway and should just be two phases, you know, potentially completed in 26.”
“First ones for me are around consumer behavior. I apologize if any of this is being repeated. I think I had some audio issues when you were discussing consumer metrics.”
