We expect to continue to demonstrate strong execution in our business with significant new wins, disciplined operating leverage, delivering on the CWT synergies, introducing our new flagship complete T&E product with SAP, rolling out our industry-leading next-gen Agencia T&E solution, and continuing to drive productivity and efficiency across the enterprise whilst investing in the business.

But your point is absolutely correct, that there is a significant runway for growth in the SME segments. The investments that we're making in Agencia to evolve that product into a travel and expense solution will obviously, I think, be an opportunity for us to accelerate growth in the SME segment.

First of all, in terms of the outlook for 2026, the most recent survey that we did showed either the same or moderate improvements in terms of the travel budgets for 2026. So I would say we're cautiously optimistic about a slight uptick in organic growth in 2026. We're also seeing a noticeable increase in the number of meetings and events. And I've mentioned before, Lee, that that's an area of our business where we get a longer term view, given the booking patterns for meetings and events. And in the last quarter, we've actually seen a double digit increase in the number of forward bookings for meetings and events into 2026. So, again, that's an encouraging sign as well.

Can you comment maybe just on where we are in the underlying macro for business travel? We were having a pretty vigorous recovery in the U.S. off of the tariff shocks into the government shutdown. Now it appears the clouds are maybe parting on that front. How would you characterize business travel demand trends now versus maybe the lows of this year back in April or May?

Turning to the transaction growth in more detail, macro economic uncertainty resulted in a modest year over year decline in corporate travel demand in April. This impact was temporary, and our transaction growth inflected back to positive territory, up 2% in May and June combined.

In our most recent Top 100 customer survey, macro uncertainty seems to be moderating, with customers seemingly less concerned or increasingly neutral on the impact of tariffs. We have seen little by way of tangible customer actions taken in terms of travel policy restrictions.

You know, we've had a number of US airlines talk about some very strong trends in corporate travel as they've seen in the first three weeks of July when they reported. Is that something that you're seeing too?
