What management said
No, I think you're reading it exactly right. I think what we said is that we're going to deliver this $200 million. We're going to accelerate the growth in our business, and we're going to grow double digit. That's EPS.
We are. So we became the majority owner of the S.I.N. value implant business back in Q1. And so that is going well, small base, but it allowed us to really orchestrate our strategy between our premium brand in the U.S. and our value brand. And so that's on track and going well.
