Yes, thanks for the question. Just stepping back to give a little perspective, today when we look at our revenue footprint, about two thirds of our revenue is generated and focused in the U.S. market, about a third internationally. So I think we have been very selective in terms of our geographic footprint to operate in markets where we see good demand for our building and construction materials, where we can bring a differentiated advantage inside that market and where we want to continue to operate, we think it complements the global footprint of our product offering. And so the geographies we've looked at in Europe, primarily India, China, Mexico, Canada, put it outside the U.S., we think these are markets that create great opportunities for us to growth. And we look inside each one of those and continuing to evaluate the potential market opportunity that we have in front of us, and how that fits with our products, our innovation, our technology, and our growth agenda. So it's always something we're looking at in terms of our geographic footprint, in terms of how it fits inside our strategy. But today, I'd say, we like our footprint, we like the positions we have in the markets that we're operating in internationally. We think they bring advantage to our company in terms of how we innovate products and how we use markets for different views of trends in building material, in terms of building construction practices, in terms of sustainability. So every market brings us a perspective that we think we can leverage into other markets. And we use it to really drive an innovation agenda. In certain markets, we can innovate products at a fast rate or a different rate, and look for those opportunities. So something we're always evaluating. But in terms of the current footprint, we like our geographic footprint we have today. We think each market brings us advantages, not only in the near term, but longer term. But it's something that we continue to evaluate and look at in terms of our fit, in terms of our strategy going forward.
