Those three businesses should achieve mid to high teens, in terms for cash flow, that definition as a percentage of sales. So that's nice. The Food Ingredients business is a little bit lower than that, so there is a bit of a mix shift. So, as you think about the remaining business, you'll see the improvement in overall cash flow as we get to 2027 and 2028 on a go-forward basis.

Cash flow improvement for us is a key priority in 2026. For the year, I continue to expect to see a meaningful improvement really driven by a couple of things: One, improvements in profitability; two, improvement in working capital; three, lower interest expense; and four, a lower incentive compensation payout year-over-year versus prior year.
