Greetings. Welcome to the SiteOne Landscape Supply Third Quarter 2023 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to John Guthrie, Executive Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer. Thank you. You may begin.

Thank you, and good morning, everyone. We issued our third quarter 2023 earnings press release this morning, and posted a Slide presentation to the Investor Relations portion of our website at investors.siteone.com. I'm joined today by Doug Black, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Scott Salmon, Executive Vice President, Strategy and Development. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that today's press release, Slide presentation, and the statements made during this call, include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. Such risks and uncertainties include the factors set forth in the earnings release and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, during today's call, we will discuss non-GAAP measures which we believe can be useful in evaluating our performance. A reconciliation of these measures can be found in our earnings release and in the Slide presentation. I would now like to turn the call over to Doug Black.

Thanks, John. Good morning and thank you all for joining us today. We were pleased to see end market demand remain resilient in the third quarter, which allowed us to achieve positive sales volume growth. That said, deflation in select commodity products like PVC pipe, grass seed, and fertilizer, was stronger than we expected, which had a negative impact on organic daily sales and on both gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin during the quarter. We expect these negative deflationary effects to continue during the fourth quarter, but moderate in 2024 as commodity prices stabilize. In the current challenging environment, our teams executed well by gaining market share, driving positive organic sales volume growth, and managing through the price deflation. Acquisitions also contributed 6% net sales growth during the quarter. We were very pleased to add six new high performing companies that represent approximately $230 million in trailing 12-month sales to SiteOne during the quarter. Through the execution of our commercial and operational initiatives and our acquisition strategy, we continue to build SiteOne as a world-class market leader for the long term while managing through the near-term market challenges. We remain confident that our well-balanced business, strong balance sheet, exceptional teams, improved capabilities, and robust acquisition pipeline, position us well to achieve strong performance and growth over the coming years. I'll start today's call with a brief overview of our unique market position and our strategy, followed by some highlights from the quarter. John Guthrie will then walk you through our third quarter financial results in more detail, and provide an update on our balance sheet and liquidity position. Scott Salmon will discuss our acquisition strategy, and then I'll come back to address our latest outlook before taking your questions. As shown on Slide 4 of the earnings presentation, we…

Thanks, Doug. I'll begin on Slide 9 with some highlights from our third quarter results. We reported a net sales increase of 4% to $1.15 billion for the quarter. There were 63 selling days in the third quarter, which is the same as the prior year period. Organic daily sales decreased 2% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower prices from commodity products, partially offset by volume growth on modest market demand. Price deflation for the quarter was approximately 4%, which was slightly greater than expectations. The price deflation was driven by our commodity products like PVC pipe, which was down 20% year-over-year, grass seed, which was down 17%, and fertilizer, which was down 16%. We expect price deflation to be a headwind for the remainder of the year and into the beginning of 2024 until we fully lap the price decreases that started in Q4 of last year. Fortunately, we were able to partially offset the price deflation with 2% volume growth for the third quarter. Volume growth was driven by share gains and modest end market demand. While negatively impacting some northern markets, weather did not have a major impact on our overall sales for the quarter. Organic daily sales for agronomic products, which includes fertilizer, Control Products, Ice Melt, and Equipment, decreased 2% due to lower prices, partially offset by increased volume for those products. Organic daily sales for landscaping products, which includes Irrigation, Nursery, Hardscapes, Outdoor Lighting, and Landscape Accessories, also decreased 2% for the third quarter due to slightly lower prices and moderating end market demand. Geographically, five out of our nine regions achieve positive organic daily sales growth, with the greatest growth in southern markets. The Northeast and Midwest markets had the weakest sales performance, as they were impacted by a…

Thanks, John. As shown on Slide 11, we acquired six companies in the third quarter for a combined trailing 12-month net sales of approximately $230 million, bringing our year-to-date total to 10 companies acquired, and approximately $300 million in trailing 12-month net sales. Since 2014, we have acquired 90 companies with approximately $1.8 billion in trailing 12-month net sales added to SiteOne. Turning to Slides 12 through 17, you'll find information on our most recent acquisitions. On July 3rd, we acquired Hickory Hill Farm & Garden, a single location wholesale distributor of irrigation, nursery, and landscape supplies. The acquisition of Hickory Hill complements our existing business in the Lake Oconee Georgia area, allowing us to provide the full line of landscaping products to landscape professionals in this high growth local market. On August 11, we acquired New England Silica, a single location wholesale distributor of hardscapes. The addition of New England Silica strengthens our leading Hardscapes position in Connecticut. On August 25, we acquired Timothy's Center for Gardening, a single location distributor of hardscapes, landscape supplies, and nursery products, expanding the products we offer our customers in New Jersey and the Delaware Valley. On August 25, we also acquired Pioneer Landscape Centers, with 34 bulk landscape supplies distribution sites across Colorado and Arizona. This strategic acquisition establishes SiteOne as the leading bulk Landscape Supplies distributor in two of the 10 fastest growing States in the US. Also, on August 25, we acquired Regal Chemical, a wholesale distributor of agronomics products with one location in the Atlanta market. The addition of Regal significantly expands our portfolio of agronomics products and services across the southeast. And lastly, on August 28, we acquired JMJ Organics, with five distribution locations, extending our leading Landscape Supplies and Nursery presence across the greater Houston area. Our acquisitions continue to add terrific talent to SiteOne, and move us forward toward our goal of providing a full line of Landscape products and services to our customers in all major US and Canadian markets. Summarizing on Slide 18, our acquisition strategy continues to create significant value for SiteOne. With a strong balance sheet and a robust pipeline across all lines of business and geographies, we are confident that we'll be able to continue adding more outstanding companies to SiteOne over the coming years. I want to thank the entire SiteOne team for their passion and commitment to making SiteOne a great place to work and for welcoming the newly acquired teams when they join the SiteOne family. It's this stronger together culture that continues to attract our industry's best entrepreneurs, and we are genuinely honored when they choose to have their family join ours. I am confident we can continue adding more outstanding new companies through acquisition, and drive excellent value for all our stakeholders. I will now turn the call back to Doug.

Thanks, Scott. I'll wrap up on Slide 19. Our outlook for organic daily sales in the fourth quarter is that it will be similar to the third quarter, with positive sales volume more than offset by commodity price deflation. We expect customer demand to remain resilient, and we expect to continue gaining market share with our strong teams executing our commercial and operational initiatives. In terms of end markets, we expect new residential construction, which comprises 21% of our sales, to continue to be solid for the remainder of the year, with high interest rates constraining homebuying. While builders have become more bullish in terms of single-family housing starts, we will not see the benefit of this until 2024. New commercial construction, which represents 14% of our sales, has remained solid. And based on our current customer backlogs, we expect to finish well in this market in 2023. The repair and upgrade market, which represents 29% of our sales, has also remained resilient, and we expect demand to be flat to slightly down during the fourth quarter. Lastly, we expect sales volume in the maintenance category, which represents 36% of our sales, to remain strong as contractors and end users take advantage of lower commodity prices and restore application rates from the depressed levels of last year. With this backdrop, we expect our organic daily sales to be down low single digits in the fourth quarter, driven by price deflation. For the full year 2023, we expect organic daily sales to be approximately flat. As mentioned, we expect gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin to be lower in the fourth quarter than the prior year period, although the year-over-year decline will be less than in the third quarter. We also expect the acquisitions completed in the third quarter to have…

[Operator Instructions] Our first questions come from the line of David Manthey with Baird. Please proceed with your questions.

Thank you. Good morning, guys. First off, John, when you were talking about the segments, you said Landscape Supplies ADS down 2%, with slightly lower price and moderating demand, which sounds like sort of an ongoing situation. And Doug, in your closing remarks, you mentioned that demand remains resilient. I know I'm splitting atoms here, but could you square those thoughts for me, what the message is here as it relates to volume demand in the fourth quarter and beyond?

Well, we can say, with regards to landscaping products, we were down negative 2% on organic daily sales growth. That was slightly lower price. Price was about negative one on landscaping products, and we were about negative one on volume for the quarter.

Yes, in terms of the second part of your question, David, we see the fourth quarter being much like the third. We are seeing continued positive volume overall. As we mentioned, agronomic volume was very strong, kind of balancing the very deep deflation in fertilizer and seed. We're kind of solid in landscaping products, which has less impact from price deflation. But when you put it all together, we expect volume to continue to be positive going through the fourth quarter. And then we we're - it's too early to call 2024, but I'd say overall, we would see it shaping up to be kind of a solid - at least a solid start in 2024. And we think the markets will - we'll use the word resilient. We'll continue to be resilient going forward.

Okay. And then - thanks for that. And second on operating expenses, that were very well managed this quarter. I think this is the first quarter in your public history where third quarter SG&A dollars were lower than second quarter SG&A dollars. You mentioned that you've taken steps to accomplish that. Could you give us a little detail on what those steps are that allowed that in the context of adding acquisitions and still investing for the future?

Right. Well, I think, there's an adjustment from the high growth during the COVID years and the strong continued growth in 2022, to more modest growth in 2023, and obviously deflation. And so, we've been able to manage our teams. Our teams are very flexible and can move fast in individual markets. We've had markets that have been weather-affected. And so, we pulled in in the field, and also we continue to drive our initiatives, which are helping to improve our productivity from our sales force CRM, with the sales force to MobilePro, siteone.com, et cetera, right? And so, we're going to continue to work those hard, and we're excited about what we're seeing. We were pleased also to be able to achieve that in the third quarter. And I think we'll look for more of that. And as we enter 2024, I think we've got an opportunity to continue to get more productive as we move forward. And obviously, as part of our long-term EBITDA margin expansion objective, we plan to work both the SG&A leverage side and the gross margin side to achieve that long-term goal. So, a lot of room for improvement over the years to come there.

Yes, it's very clear. Thanks a lot, Doug. Thank you both.

Thank you. Our next questions come from the line of Ryan Merkel with William Blair. Please proceed with your questions.

Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. I wanted to start off with the deflation. Doug, in your comments, you mentioned that you thought deflation had bottomed in September and October. Just unpack for us why you think that's the case. And then, can you confirm that in the fourth quarter price deflation will be about 4%, same as 3Q?

Yes, so what we saw is price deflation accelerated as we went through kind of July, August, September, and now in October, we've seen a level similar to September, with a slight - the back half of October has shown a slight improvement over the first half of October. So, we see signs. The prices started dropping last year during the fourth quarter. And so, we're starting to lap that. And so, we believe that it's stair stepdown during the third. We believe it'll stair step back up, yielding about the same amount of - or similar to the third quarter. And then as we go into 2024, obviously, we'll completely lap those price decreases and things will return to normal. So, John, did you have something to add to that?

Yes, I think 4% to 5% is probably a good estimate for the fourth.

Okay, thanks for that. And then just high level, there's debate about higher interest rates and the impact to your business. Can you just comment on the potential impacts? I'm thinking M&A and maybe some more discretionary purchases. Just where do you think you'd see an impact over the next six to 12 months?

Well, I think the largest impact would be in new residential. But when we look at new residential, because of the housing shortage, I think you've got people getting used to interest rates. You have builders that are using incentives and buying down rates. And so, at least the builders seem to be bullish that single family new residential will be up next year. And so, we're optimistic about that. And the remodel market, certainly it affects things, but we're not seeing a big negative effect so far in that remodel market. It's been very resilient. We think it'll continue to be. There's still strong forces in remodel, work from home, and outdoor living that are underlying the remodel market forecast from HIRI are that there'll be growth in remodel next year. So, we see that being fairly resilient. In commercial, there was theories that it would start to affect the commercial market. We'll have to see. Commercial has remained strong. We watch the ABI index. Obviously, that went below 50. So, we're watching that closely. And then the maintenance market, we don't really think there's any effect there. So, we’ll have to see, but we believe that our markets, when we take them all together, especially with the maintenance market, are solid, let's say give us a good foundation for growth.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you. Our next questions come from the line of Steve Volkmann with Jefferies. Please proceed with your questions.

Hi. Good morning, guys. Thank you. I guess my question is around share gains, Doug. I think you mentioned that in your prepared remarks. How much do you think the sort of underlying end markets grew and sort of relative to you guys to sort of address that share gain question?

Well, we would say that the end markets, we would guess that they were slightly down, flat to slightly down when you take it all together, and our volumes were positive. So, you can do the math there. It's hard to put specifically calculate share gain, but we're in touch with all of our suppliers. We have a good sense of what's going on in the different markets. We do get to see a few horizons performance, et cetera. And we feel pretty confident that we're gaining share and it’s consistent across product lines. So, we're going to continue to drive that going forward.

Okay. And I think you said you are adding new customers, right, in the sort of small and medium sized category?

We are. We're growing faster in that category than we are with our larger customers, and that's an intentional effort that we've got with our expanded marketing, with our teams. We've created inside sales that are specifically calling on small customers. So, we've got a lot of exciting initiatives going on there, and we're seeing the results of that. So, that helps us both from a sales growth standpoint, but also from a gross margin standpoint.

Great. And then just finally on SG&A, do you think you'll get back to SG&A leverage next year, given sort of the investments that you've been making?

I think it's really too early to give guidance with regards to that, how are the acquisitions going to filter in. But we're working towards that.

Yes. And on the long - yes, just in the long-term context, certainly that would be the case. We would expect to get SG&A leverage over the next two to three years.

Understood. Thank you. I'll pass it on.

Thank you. Our next questions come from the line of Damian Karas with UBS. Please proceed with your questions.

Hey, good morning, everyone. So, thanks for the details around price in the third quarter and the cadence that you're expecting from here. Could you just maybe help us wrap our heads around what gross margins could look like in 2024 based on your price expectations?

Yes, I think, again, it’s a little too early to be calling 2024. We'll do that after we finish the fourth quarter. But we are experiencing - the reset aside, we're experiencing an additional headwind with the price deflation. We expect that, as we mentioned, to subside in 2024 and provide a bit of a tailwind for 2024, which is terrific. And then with acquisitions and our initiatives around gross margin, we certainly would expect improvement next year, but putting a number around that or quantifying that would be a little bit too early to do that.

Understood. What are you expecting for cash flow and what that looks like in the fourth quarter? I mean, if you look at the first three quarters, you're up pretty considerably this year. So, are there any headwinds lining up for the fourth quarter that we should be aware of?

No, we would expect this would be a normal fourth quarter. What you saw this quarter is, we probably pulled some of the - so it's really a timing issue. We had such a strong Q2. I think we realized kind of the - we started the inventory pulled out. So, the difference between Q3 and Q - this year over last year is primarily what was recognized in Q2 so far this year. So, on a year-to-date basis, we're well up and our inventory position is very similar to last year at this point. And so, we would expect kind of normal seasonality for cash flow in the fourth quarter.

Got it. Thanks very much. I'll pass it along.

Thank you. Our next questions come from the line of Mike Dahl with RBC Capital Markets. Please proceed with your questions.

Morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Just to follow up, I know you don't want to get into the 2024 details, but maybe ask a different way on the margin side. Can you quantify more specifically in your 3Q and 4Q gross margins how much of a headwind is the price deflation component?

I would say there's a lot of things going on - going into gross margin from that same. With regards to Q3, if you kind of said you're probably talking 50 basis, 50 to 70 basis points kind of number out there, and that would be kind of comparable to kind of what we would normally expect. So, that's kind of where I would say kind of where we’re at in Q3. And that would be kind of - that's kind of, if you will - we talk about a lot over what's gone over the last couple of years is - and as many of you have asked questions about kind of the price realization benefit. So, that was in effect, what we're seeing here is, that was a benefit. We talked about it with many of you, how that was kind of a one-time gain. Now that prices are going in the opposite direction, what you're seeing is a little bit of a one-time kind of not a negative headwind, if you will, as a result of that. And the 50 to 70 basis points is kind of what we would kind of estimate as kind of the potential headwind where we're at right now relative to what I would call a more normal market.

Okay. Yes, that makes sense. Understood that there's a lot of moving pieces there, so appreciate trying to split that out. And then relatedly, when we think about the deflation that you've seen, let's assume that the stabilization holds, I get that just given the comps, it seems clear that your pricing headwinds would subside when you get to the second half of next year. The first half, you're still comping positive price from 2023 and in particular and in 1Q. So, do you think we'll still start off the year with these kind of mid-single digit price headwinds? Again, I know you don't want to give full guidance.

I think it's too early to say how it flows through on the gross margin line. I think it is fair to say on the revenue side, it'll still be a headwind from that standpoint in the first half. And so, we’ll have to see that is. On the flip side, as you know, California, which makes up a lot of Q1 sales, got killed this year in Q1. So, that'll be a positive, and we'll get more into that as we go. But just realistically in the - until we lap these, the price increases, a lot of them came in in the first half, and will be a little bit of a headwind. Some of that will be offset. We do expect some of the other products, we'll see price increases at the beginning of the year. So, that dynamic that we saw this year will play out a little bit into next year also.

Yes, the other factor is stair stepdown. October, November, December, we expect to kind of stair step up. So, as we go into the first quarter, it would be - we would expect it to be less than say the third or fourth in terms of that deflation. Then you have the other prices that will start kicking in in the second quarter. So

Yes, we're going to - it will be a headwind, but likely, John, not as steep as the headwind in the last two quarter - the third and fourth quarter of this year.

Okay, great. Thanks, Doug. Thanks, John.

Thank you. Our next questions come from the line of Keith Hughes with Truist Securities. Please proceed with your questions.

Thank you. Could you give us some sort of a feel in the magnitude of the price declines of the three products that are causing the deflation we talked about so much in this call?

Well, we talked about with regards - in the numbers, we talked about 20% year-over-year in Q4. Pipe was down 20% year-over-year. And fertilizer and grass seed were down in the teens, I think 17% and 15%, something like that. I don’t have it in front of me. But they're in - those are the type of size that we're talking about.

Okay. And the descent really began what, late summer? Is that timing about right?

The descent with pipe began in Q4 of last year. I would say most of the agronomic ones came in in the first half of this year. And really what stood out is grass seed was really a Q3 item. It’s a - seed season really starts in Q3, as we like to think about it. And those numbers, what I mentioned on the call was 17% of seeds, 16% for fertilizer now.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Our next questions come from the line of Joe Ahlersmeyer with Deutsche Bank. Please proceed with your questions.

Hey, good morning, everybody. Thanks for the questions. In your end market discussion, you talked about new commercial remaining solid, finishing well this year. Just curious if you feel like maybe this end market is the one where there's the most volume risk into next year. I know you are later in the construction cycle there, but just anything you're hearing either on the bidding side or just hearing generally on new commercial construction would be helpful.

Yes, so we don't - our bidding has been pretty good this year, as well as obviously customer - we look at customer backlogs and the work they have in front of them, but we do lag the market, right? If you look at the ABI index, that went below 50. So, we'll have to see if that stays below 50. So, it's really hard to tell at this point. I mean, we wouldn't be able to call next year. I think because we lag, we think the first half of next year is likely to be pretty solid in commercial. Hard to tell about the second half, unless we see kind of more trends develop over the next two or three months. So, we don't have any better information probably than you have on that because we lag the commercial starts, if you will.

Right. No, that's helpful about the front half. The other question I had also sort of related to the front half or the front half of the front half is, how did the weather impact your last first quarter? Just so we make sure we understand the lapping dynamics around the colder northeast first quarter of this year and the rain in California, just to make sure we've got in our models correctly.

It had a pretty big number. If you look at the - especially in California, I think California was down almost 20% in the first quarter. I mean, we put a daily organic of negative 2% roughly in the first quarter. But that was I think on 6% price increases. So, we were down like negative 8% on volume in Q1. And now kind of volumes have kind of labeled out. So, I don't want to get too optimistic there, and specifically address everything with regards to the weather, but it was certainly the primary of things this year was the primary driver of Q1.

Yes, you’ve got to be careful because weather can - bad weather can repeat. But certainly, last first quarter was not favorable in terms of weather.

Right. And just to follow up maybe on that, was there also - because that's the daily sales number. Was there a margin impact from product mix or anything around the Northeast, just to be aware?

No. I mean, I would say, I wouldn't call that out as a driver of what's going on with the business overall.

Okay. Understood. Thanks a lot.

Thank you. Our next questions come from the line of Andrew Carter with Stifel. Please proceed with your questions.

Hey, thanks. Just some kind of questions on the commodities. Just to make sure, you do price to gross margin rate. How often do you reprice at the branches to adjust for commodities? And for the commodity categories like 20%, how long are your inventory positions exactly, therefore how much of a mismatch could it be? Thanks.

It can be a while. I think there's a couple of things that you need to consider. One is, it's not just - the commodities have to flow all the way through. So, you have a commodity price, it's got to go to a supplier. The supplier is going to make inventory over months. And then we buy it, carry - we do three to four turns of inventory a year. And so, that would be the way it would flow through that. And just as an example, even this year, we saw some of like the PVC pipe prices start coming down this year. But if you actually just were to look at the cost of PVC resin, if you will, I think the lead time on that was quite a bit earlier, and was actually - those decreases were occurring last year. So, commodities are general indicators. There is lags in between there.

Thanks. Also, just to - and then I guess just to get to the structural gross margin, I know that last quarter it was 35.1. you felt that was kind of normalized for pricing benefits. This quarter, you added $230 million subsequent to the quarter of annual M&A. Is that a higher margin kind of? So, what’s - I guess I'm getting at is, what is kind of the structural gross margin for this business, all things considered, all prices are matching one another, et cetera, that we should be thinking about going forward. Thanks.

We've said kind of this is the base year for gross margin. So, if you went back to the beginning of the year, our guidance was like 34.5%. Things went pretty strongly in the first half of the year. So, we kind of started going back up to the more - the high end of that range. We're probably going to be more at the low end of the range as we reset this year.

Yes, the range being 34.5 to 35.

Okay, got it. And just last question, you said minus one SG&A, kind of core SG&A. How much of that was kind of driven by freight?

Most of our freight is in cost of goods sold. So, it's primarily there. We do have some freight costs for the kind of blast light for our own trucks, but that's not really what's driving the primary. The primary thing, as Doug alluded to, and the actions we've taken is really on staffing to more match, and our labor costs to more match the sales volume.

Thanks. I'll pass it on.

Thank you. Our next questions come from the line of Matthew Bouley with Barclays. Please proceed with your questions.

Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. Just back on the comment around driving higher margins in 2024, if you do still have some deflation flowing into the first half of 2024, and maybe given some of those comments you made earlier, Doug, on the end markets next year, I mean, the question is, would you need higher volumes in 2024 in order to grow margins in 2024? Or maybe said another way, what would happen to margins if volumes are say flatter in 2024? Thank you.

Yes, I think in terms of gross margin, it wouldn't have a significant impact. Obviously, an SG&A leverage is where you - from an EBITDA margin standpoint, positive volume is better than flat. And so, we're focused on both. But in terms of gross margin, like I said, with the deflation kind of abating in the first half at say a slightly lower level than we've seen in the second half of this year, should get a bit of a tailwind there. And then our margin improvement initiatives, we should see some benefit from. And those aren't highly - obviously, there's extremes, but those aren't - those wouldn't be impacted significantly between a couple of percent volume.

Got it. Okay. That's helpful there, Doug. Thank you for that. And then secondly, just on the repair and upgrade end market, I'm curious, how do you think about the leverage of your business to existing home turnover, which clearly the move in interest rate seems like there's - having a bit more of an outsized impact to that part of the housing market. How do you guys think about your exposure there and what that could mean to repair and upgrade? Thank you.

Yes, well, I'll start with the long-term trend is there. Outdoor living people are - invest in their backyards. They enjoy their outdoor living space spaces. And as more people are working from home, that's driving growth there. So, that's a solid trend. It's interesting that housing turnover had normally been a driver of remodel. A new person moves in, they want to redo the backyard or - and that would be business for us. You've got a lot of people that are sitting on low interest rates that aren't selling their homes. So, home turnover is lower. However, now you've got the opposite effect that since I'm going to stay here, I'm going to do the project that I was putting off because I was going to move. So, it's interesting how those two - I'm not sure if they completely balance, but there are certainly puts and takes there. Overall, we think the remodel market's going to be solid. Long term, the remodel market is going to be a strong growth driver for us going forward.

Yep. No, that's fair. Thank you for that. And just quickly on the SG&A, was there anything in that Q3 number in terms of incentive comp relative to Q2? Any kind of true ups of accruals? Any kind of little details in there that sort of help the SG&A number? Thank you.

I'll say, incentive comp is certainly less this year, and will be - our commissions are based on sales growth. So, they're going to be less this year, year-over-year than they were last year.

All right, thanks, John. Thanks, Doug. Good luck, guys.

Thank you. We have reached the end of our question-and-answer session. I would now like to turn the floor back over to Doug Black for any closing comments.

Okay. Thank you all for joining us today. We certainly appreciate your interest in SiteOne and look forward to speaking to you again after the fourth quarter. Would like to take one more opportunity to thank our terrific associates for all they do to help build SiteOne, our suppliers, and our customers. Have a great day.

Thank you. This does conclude today's teleconference. We appreciate your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Enjoy the rest of your day.
