Grounding quotes
  • “with the strength of bookings, with the strength in the business, even with this CapEx, we're looking to grow cash from the level of Q2. So that's something we feel good about.”
  • “I don't know that we're ready to go and communicate what we think 2027 would look like.”
  • “I'm not going to go and speculate on when it will convert, but, you know, or if it will convert, but we do see this as an important beachhead for us.”
  • “there's potential that we could produce more if we needed to. For sure, there's the leverage there.”
