Brian Lee Essex - Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Research Division - Equity AnalystSo I wanted to maybe start off real quick. I saw that you reported earnings last week, and that was very exciting, great stock reaction. But you've been very busy. Perhaps it would be a good idea just to recap the release. It's the first time you've given your initial 2020 guide, and I was a little bit surprised of the stock reaction. So maybe you can kind of put that in context and frame out guidance and your expectations for 2020.
