But there was nothing other onetime related from last year to this year at the margin level.

Yes. It's definitely transactional is the primary issue, but then it's also as we translate our U.S. operations back to Canadian dollars. And we estimate that a 1% change in the FX is about $800,000.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns about the impact of FX and tariffs on margins, as well as the capacity to handle new program ramps. Questions focused on potential headwinds beyond FX and the pace of FLYHT integration.
