The first quarter is always busy, and recently, as I have for several years, I traveled to Asia to mark a number of special events in Japan, Korea, and China, and met with customers and other stakeholders. I was proud to be at groundbreaking ceremonies at our upcoming facilities in Toyota City, Japan, and Pyeongtaek, Korea, which are expected to be opened in the second half of 2026 and the second half of 2025, respectively. Following meetings with our joint venture colleagues, which are always meaningful, my trip concluded at the China Development Forum, which was well attended by global CEOs. I was fortunate, along with other American CEOs, to meet with Chinese Premier Li and convey our company's value proposition in the region as we continue to advance safety science for new product innovation, quality manufacturing, and market access.
