First of all, Q3's other costs are getting higher. As I said, maintenance and utilities, the cost line of various things is getting higher and higher. That's a big reason. Basically, Q2 is getting extremely low. The average of nine months is 14.3%, which is the same as last year. Basically, Q2's reaction came to Q3. I think it's okay if you think so. I think it's okay if you think so. I think it's okay if you think so. In terms of what's really the major components of our other costs growing as compared to, say, a couple years ago, it's really just minor growth across the board. So flight increases in R&M costs, flight increases in utilities. Really, the way that we think about it is the other cost numbers for Q2 were abnormally low. And so you can sort of think of the 14.7 we had for Q3 as a bounce back. Year-to-date, our other cost as a percentage of sales is 14.3%, which is exactly where it was for the full year of fiscal 24. We think that 14%-ish is where we're going to be running for the foreseeable future.
