Question: Kenneth George Herbert - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Carlos, maybe I could just follow up on that or Eric. It looks like organically, the last 3 quarters, FSG revenues have grown about, call
it, 5-ish percent mid-single-digits sequentially. Is there any reason that sort of sequential growth in the segment shouldn't change
as we think about the next 3 quarters here or for the year?
Question: Kenneth George Herbert - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: No, that's great. And if I run that out, it looks like you're obviously -- you've got another, call it, sort of quarter of easy comps this
quarter, just considering the timing. And then the second half of fiscal '22, obviously, you're up against more challenging comps
within FSG. But if I run that out, it looks like you should still be able to maintain pretty significant sort of growth relative to sort of
historical averages and where traffic growth could be. And I'm guessing part of that is, it sounds like we're maybe hearing some
restocking efforts at some airlines and obviously, we had a pent-up demand. But is there anything else you would call out, Eric, that
could perhaps get to or maintain sort of above trend line growth in the back half of the year with what you're seeing in the marketplace
today?
Question: Kenneth George Herbert - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Great. No, that's excellent. And if I could, just one for Victor. You called out, Victor, in the quarter, some supply chain and Omicron
related disruptions. Is it possible to size that a little bit or maybe think about within the defense portfolio, specifically within ETG,
how that could have looked organically, excluding some of these onetime disruptions?
