What management said
Thanks for the question, Rob. That would be a pretty good return. It's a 7-year number and probably a little bit of rounding, but we're thinking something in the 15%, 17%, 18% range is something to strive for, especially as we ramp up with volume and get the supply chain lined up with longer-term agreements. So can always do more, but that's a pretty good start, in my opinion.
Yes, sure, absolutely, Chris. And it is that -- we are seeing some kind of great benefits of the relationship. We did have some gains this quarter. I would characterize them as below-operating-income gains. So they tend to impact or positively benefit the EPS. So we did call out the benefits in our EPS walk. So you can pick them up there.
