But then you've got the initiatives that we all have here that we have every year on managing our costs all the way from T&E and everything else that we put into place. We do a really good job, I think, of shining a light on it in the different cost centers and managing that cost bucket really well.

We have worked to offset these increases by containing costs in travel, marketing, and other discretionary expenses.

Again, actions around T&E and a lot of other things that we put into place, advertising and other things will continue as we go through the year and monitor such.

Yeah, I think in there there's really nothing in there other than the fact that you've got favorability from how we're looking at T&E, advertising spend, all the other cost reductions that we took on our spend, but we're still making investments in areas that are going to be for our long-term growth and profitability, areas around engineering and technology, IT.

Scott discussed in detail the actions we have taken around the largest drivers of the margin compression. materials labor and transportation inflation as well as labor availability material costs are at the highest levels in recent memory and have continued to increase sequentially month to month throughout this year we've issued two more price increases since the end of our fiscal first quarter one in july and another just last week we will hit the full run rate of the announced price increases that today in our fiscal third quarter From an SG&A perspective, the first quarter results contain approximately $2 million of wages, travel, medical, and other expenses that were not incurred last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aug 5, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Scott Cottrell, CFO | earnings call 2021-08-05 | transcript 1d086aa4-a44f-4b97-b896-dec03e5ac608 | chars 9140-9873 | segment 9

But I'd say also on our side, and we've talked about it, we've got a lot of productivity initiatives that are in flight, right? Our Office of Excellence initiatives a lot of those are still early innings and we got to invest in tooling and molds and so forth to get that those assets where they need to be to be more efficient as we move product around the network or to start reducing the amount of moving around the network that our product does before it gets to the customer so you've got that and then automation we've talked about it but that downstream automation uh if you will is key within our businesses and again you know our network you have 48 plants in the u.s a lot of opportunity to get more efficient uh make it a safer place for our employees um so a lot of things that we're doing there and again we spent close to 80 million dollars this past year a big increase year of the year so we're getting in front of it and then the 150 is not insignificant but it is the best use and top priority of our capital deployment options and we know that uh so a big effort there and we're also investing in internal resources to make sure that we can deploy and accelerate that capex organically great now that that's really helpful color there um second one i wanted to ask on non-reds um because obviously for the past two quarters here I think your own non-res performance has been relatively decoupled from, I think, what a lot of us see as kind of the underlying non-res market.
