Yes.

three they of ESER US funds. is elementary So tremendous Jack, in just shy, federal relief, us have for made funding the as previous may scanning they've $XXX available some the those redundant in the that government be, than appreciate school billion federal the larger tranches of we're the there's for be those seeing calls, a internationally, you'll may of education substantially termed right? I funds, and question. both tranches. be opportunity there's from And the other the and ESER There, what for three and may, and in there's but secondary this emergency And, ESER and of course, amount US funding, countries. but remember

second of progressively being The spent. and first are tranche. those smallest bigger couple the then And third got was first the those tranches tranche

the you being applied a been lot Act spent And but you which hasn't tranch second of a by is money. for that Cares in accessed spent now, been of se spent is and the third, that's lot largest. lot that's remember Now, the the a tranche know, available. the still first of being far was That is is

in And tranche third, of was the about all billion know, $XXX so the the, money billion. $XXX that in short, third of and, keep and mind you of roughly

work trying to process, in guides funds. still We've funds. how to and it. and identify access access that on of districts spend a school is it the those largest from we've white the administrators as around them done of how So, with help lot part available and to that to And papers marketing we're created on,

of funds. or for another pursuing actively XXX that And of will nearly qualify something those we're our so way that's in one and definitely most solutions billion

strategy And of so major is that a ours.

what Okay, you, general combat around, comments been response helpful. bit have from know, began the what I this, great. that obviously then from supply every That's issues you a by markets to chain in been when talk just If your you detail industry products impacted from, raising mention in, little has prices. there like you just end in the any global Can up is more you did being on your you virtually prices company of raising follow what customers? you just

feel Yeah. I and can in. jump free then, say a and mark, couple then and, things to

as that's solution of mark, because price solution, of and ship. largest flat interactive So, panels. three several at we've increases price the or by those in are course you internationally we've Europe, we the increases have US, four expensive price then look in And our on price each throughout our both increases to been so solutions had as quite in increases believe the to know, US, wrong three had Europe, well or two if I'm we've I had

are a and happen and there on increases into costs go And those that flat of been increased interactive cost and, board hard but a of lot slimmer they've much so the some the given on shipping across talk lot hit displays solutions, our pretty also our and not at and, are pat offsetting the on margins there's really also, and Shipping's have that components And panels higher prices you've other the we just with, story. as profit another of that. panels the most with, the margin of shipping. cost gross in increases heard and we've track on pretty us well on, to, of increase we've about, We've of done up there his well points about talk on done of goods. to

four data, And gross another so future. to so points your to as or that in starts our safe the normalize margin profit

understand, of on generally we've Michael, What pushback. top little customers add would is I right? had that, So

we're the you is thing the contracts. know, customers term we sun where have other The we've do per hold price to agreed There's contract. where fixed had a been as

Thank Okay. you.

I margins think addition, our on not it's and in are going Michael, corporate which the in of which terms with come larger that higher the sector kind I greater just that to part going formats, just obviously panel much growing come key forward, margin, a, to panels. on interactive we sell the be FLA but just also educational we in now, our inter things business also inter that to that's add importantly improve slack sector just interactive always shift is displays a a, into margins of a the on ordinarily just of a, is coming, pick the with also other up obviously screen flat

or your going where price carried to increases have like had you adds them that are price Am impression of mix. mix were still be I you gross situation margins price that talking the said, mitigating behind what a the also enough that So be the of lines the cost to you'd not in increases offset. to with I'm to this correct? absorb. with increases increases about as the to was the you've seen, get reading margin of well. because product that I the And against kind between that

For, current the that for Yeah. current year? the

freighting of So point. all to we do expect actually global normalize kind a as with businesses at the

margin. of of mentioned and So of globally. at increased of terms of significant kind you freighting the kind that about incremental impact in straight costs an moment, that's, is and included I in had as obviously And products know, ourselves cost X% everyone kind has shipping seeing

that when back So through normalize we begin this effects to should of when of know, the get end we, pandemic. you the

kind XXXX, So, that also seeing you naturally start know, should we improve. of within XX, XX,

So,

improvement that say? gap fair the in see assuming more in remain we margin. an show to So have that the that quarter the will fourth quarter, Is third increases you one gross

earlier would QX know, was of currently would one kind of revenues. asking pretty I a I question, of think it an similar you slightly would a bearing. there think question came we versus static. cause And be be slightly under comparison are costs revenues guidance that have yeah, QX, QX these But increased are the that reasons kind the of for that are which
