Yes, sure, Steve. I mean, we're fifty-nine point nine percent, so we're shy. We're almost at sixty percent now, and we did see some pretty strong sequential increase in the gym as well, two to Q3. But as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, we do we're working on a number of initiatives. What we're really focusing on is building a good pipeline of margin improvement initiatives that we can roll out, not just for a quarter, but sustainably take a six-month, twelve-month twenty-four-month view on what we're doing and if we build that pipeline of opportunities and then we execute on those, then that should deliver those margin improvements year in, year out. So the areas we focused on, probably the areas I mentioned, right, is improving your manufacturing efficiencies and recoveries, distribution and freight. And we've made a lot of progress there. So we've got that opportunity, I guess, is less now than it was because we made a lot of progress, but this still opportunity there to optimize on that. We're still running the AS ten and AS eleven platform. We are transitioning, so every quarter, we moving more closer and closer to AS eleven predominantly. Although, there will be a long tail in some markets on AS ten, and it's still pretty popular product in the market. But that will help us. And then on procurement, components, designed for manufacture for new products, for example, that come through some of the work that we might do in terms of, like, you know, life cycle engineering and how we improve the products in market as well. There's a number of opportunities we're looking at. It's not just one and it's not kind of here's one and that's easy and there you go. There's margin improvement. But if you work on a number of items, given our scale, we will get benefit and we'll get improvement in the gross margin that's certainly what our supply chain team is focused on delivering. And how do you do that? You do that by having a really solid long-term pipeline of opportunities as long as you're identifying them and executing on those. Then I'm confident we can continue to expand the gross margin and, you know, get that gross margin. I mean, our aim is to continue to improve it, and that would logically mean it has to end up in the sixties.
