Earnings Call: Q2 2021

Jul 21, 2021

Good morning. Thank you for joining OFG Bancorp's Conference Call. My name is Christie, and I will be your operator today. Our speakers are Jose Rafael Fernandez, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors and Maritza Arizmendi, Chief Financial Officer. A presentation accompanies today's remarks. It can be found on our Investor Relations website on the homepage, in the What's New box or on the quarterly results page. This call may feature certain forward looking statements about management's goals, plans and expectations. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties outlined in the Risk Factors section of OFG's SEC filings. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated. We disclaim any obligation to update information disclosed in this call as a result of developments that occur afterwards. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question and answer session. Instructions will be given at that time. I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Fernandez. Good morning and thank you for joining us. Please turn to Page 3 of our conference call presentation. We had an outstanding performance in the Q2, generating $0.78 per share. This reflects our larger scale and our focus on digital utilization and customer service differentiation. From a big picture perspective, it also reflects several key factors that are coinciding at this time that puts OFG in an excellent strategic position. 1, Puerto Rico's economy is clearly benefiting from the massive amount of federal reconstruction funds now starting to be received as well as COVID stimulus funds. It's important to note that these funds are more meaningful here as compared to mainland states, given how reconstruction funds and the amount of stimulus payments compared to average income levels on the island as well as the size of our economy. 2, Puerto Rico has managed well the COVID pandemic And today, vaccination levels are in the top quartile of U. S. States and territories with 55% of the population fully vaccinated and 63% with at least one dose. And 3, OFG is operating in a much different competitive environment than years past with only 3 commercial banks serving the market. All this continues to validate the comments I made last quarter regarding our optimism on Puerto Rico's economy and OFG's future. Our 2nd quarter results confirm this across all businesses. Let's take a look at our income statement as compared to the Q1. Total core revenues were $133,000,000 an increase of more than 4%. Results were enhanced by a 12% reduction in cost of funds. Interest income grew more than 2%, banking and financial services revenues rose more than 5 percent due to increased economic activity. Asset quality trends continue to improve. As a result, provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $8,300,000 Earnings also benefited by our recent deployment of excess capital to redeem all 3 of our outstanding series of preferred stock, which eliminated $1,600,000 in quarterly preferred dividends. We will continue to explore ways to deploy this excess liquidity. Looking at the June 30 balance sheet, customer deposits increased $350,000,000 to $9,100,000,000 reflecting even greater liquidity on the part of both commercial and consumer customers. As a result, both cash and assets grew. Loans declined 1.2 percent to $6,400,000,000 mainly due to pay downs in our residential mortgage portfolio and forgiveness of our first round of PPP loans. Most of that decline was offset by growth in commercial and auto loan balances. New loan origination increased 28% from the Q1 to $674,000,000 We're starting to see optimism on the part of our commercial clients. Originations now total more than $1,200,000,000 as of the first half of the year. All this bodes well for the second half of the year. Please turn to Page 4. At OFG, we believe better banking is built upon fulfilling our purpose, namely helping our customers, our people and our communities achieve their financial goals. During the Q2, for our customers, we quickly processed forgiveness for about 75% of our first round of our PPP loans, once again using our proprietary all digital solution. Our business model is putting us closer to existing and potential commercial clients to help them finance their operations and strategies. As part of this effort, we launched a series of online educational videos to help small businesses improve their capabilities and optimize their business potential. Even though the pandemic is subsiding here, digital utilization of our banking services has continued at high levels among both our commercial and retail customers. Online and mobile banking 30 90 day utilization continue well above pre pandemic levels. This validates our long standing digital strategy and its growing acceptance by our customers and the market in general. For our people, we continue to facilitate COVID vaccinations. As of Monday, 81% of our team members are already fully vaccinated. We expect to reach 90% vaccination levels during the Q3. In 2015, we started a college scholarship program for the children of our staff. This year, we're proud to announce that we increased the average scholarship awarded by 19%. For our communities, we have been working on several new corporate social responsibility programs. 1 program launched on the 2nd quarter high school students in lower income communities to improve their personal and technological development. We are extremely proud of all these achievements. At the end of the day, there is nothing more rewarding than being part of a team that delivers on its purpose. This quarter's overall performance energizes us at OFG to work harder and to aspire for more. Now, here is Maritza to go over the financials in more detail. Thank you, Jose. Please turn to Page 5 to review our financial highlights. Total core revenues were $133,000,000 that's an increase of about 4 percent from both the 1st year ago quarters. Most of the increase from the Q1 was due to higher income from non PCD loans. This reflects higher revenues from commercial and auto loans, which more than offset lower interest income from pay downs in residential mortgages and forgiven PPP loans. Net interest income also benefited by approximately $7,000 due to one extra day compared to the Q1. In addition, total core revenues also reflected growth in banking services and financial services. Revenues from banking services grew 11% from the Q1 and 34% year over year. This was due to expanding economic activity. Revenue from financial services increased 12% from the Q1 and 30% year over year. This was largely due to increased asset values and higher commercial insurance income. Non interest expenses totaled $83,000,000 that is an increase of $5,000,000 from the 1st quarter and a decline of $2,800,000 year over year. 2nd quarter expenses reflected our previously announced cost savings, a $2,200,000 technology write down and a higher variable expenses related to increased revenues. Adjusting for the write down, our efficiency ratio will have been similar to the Q1. We continue to see expenses in line with our previously announced plans for the year. Our goal by the end of 2022 is to continue to improve our efficiency ratio to the mid to lower 50% range. Return on average assets was 1.58%. This was significantly higher than the 1st year and a year ago quarter. This also exceeded our baseline target of more than 1%. Return on average tangible common equity was 17.8%. This was also up significantly from the 1st year for the 1st year ago quarters and also exceeded our baseline target of more than 12%. We continue to build capital. Tangible book value per share was $18.13 That is an increase of 4% from the Q1 and 13% from the year ago quarter. This is the highest increase sequentially over the last 5 quarters. Please turn to Page 6 to review our operational highlights. Average loan balances totaled $6,600,000,000 that's a decline of $37,000,000 from the 1st quarter, due primarily to residential mortgage pay downs and PPP forgiveness as I have mentioned before. This was broadly offset by new commercial and auto loans. The change in mix enabled us to expand loan yields to 6.69%, 8 basis points higher than the Q1. Higher levels of residential mortgage breakdowns reflect increased liquidity on the part of consumers. Our residential mortgage portfolio consists of legacy oriented mortgage loans and mortgage loans from BUBA and Scotia Bank acquisitions. Almost all our new residential mortgage loan origination are conforming U. S. Agency paper. So we don't typically add new production to our residential loan portfolio. Instead, we convert most production into Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac and sell them. And we convert the FHA loans into Ginnie Mae's and retain them in our securities portfolio. During the Q2, we added $54,000,000 of these Ginnie Mae securities into our investment portfolio. Total new loan origination was $674,000,000 That is an increase of 28% from the Q1. There are gains in all major categories. This was led by commercial and auto followed by consumer and residential mortgage. Approximately 50% of new commercial orders were for new money to expand business operations, building new store, warehouses, buying inventory or making acquisitions. Average core deposits totaled 8.96 $1,000,000,000 that's an increase of 5% or $427,000,000 from the Q1. Increases in non interest bidding accounts, savings accounts and non accounts were partially offset by the decline in customer CDs. Core deposit costs continue to fall. They were 38 basis points in the 2nd quarter. That is a reduction of 9 basis points from the 1st quarter. This reflects rate reductions and the continued maturing of older higher priced CDs. As a result of the increase in deposits, average cash balances totaled $2,500,000,000 that is an increase of 14% or $350,000,000 from the Q1. Our current strategy is to continue to look for opportunities to deploy this effect liquidity through lending, capital actions or into investment once interest rates move up. Net interest margin was 4.22 percent, a decline of only 4 basis points from the Q1. The increased amount of cash reduced NIM by 13 basis points. Most of that was offset by 9 basis points from the lower cost of deposits. We believe NIM is still in the range of our expectations for remaining approximately level this year. Please turn to Page 7 to review our credit quality and capital strength. Asset quality trends continue to improve. Reconstruction and stimulus funds provided significant liquidity to businesses and individuals. Some use these to pay down their loans lines of credit. Our net charge off hit a historical low of only 30 basis points. The early and total delinquency rates at 1.86% and 3.90% respectively were at their lowest level in 5 quarters. Non performance loan rates at 2.06% was also at its lowest level in 5 quarters if you exclude the effects of our pandemic related deferred program. As a result of this, provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $8,300,000 This is based on $2,100,000 in net charge off and a $10,400,000 net reserve release. Allowance coverage continues elevated. There are still concerns about COVID uncertainty for a constant robust economic recovery. Our allowance coverage was 2.95% on a reported basis and 3 0 6% excluding PPP loans. The CET ratio continued to climb, reaching 13.95%. Stockholders' equity was $1,800,000,000 a decline of $28,000,000 from the Q1. This was due to the redemption of preferred stock Series A and B and a good portion of which was offset by the increase in retained earnings. The tangible common equity ratio continued to climb to 9 0 6%. Now here is Jose. Thank you, Please turn to page 8 for our conclusion. Our performance this quarter reflects what we had anticipated to see a year after the Scotia acquisition. Our larger scale, business approach and improved strategic positioning is coming to fruition adding to our franchise value. Following the Q1 and now this quarter, we're seeing incremental optimism on the part of the business sector to invest for the future, slowly but surely giving us confirmation of Puerto Rico's economic revival. We at OFG are more than ready. We have a lot of dry powder in the form of cash to deploy for growth on the loan side, but we will also continue to look closely at capital management strategies. Thanks to all our team members who have helped our customers achieve their goals. That ends our formal presentation. Thank you for listening. Operator, please open the call for question and answer. Thank And your first question is from Alex Twerdahl of Piper Sandler. Hey, good morning. Good morning, Alex. How are you? I'm well. And you guys? Good. First question for me, I just want to hone in on the commercial loan growth that you had this quarter. Based on some of your commentary, I think I know the answer, but do you think that we've now reached and are past the inflection point on commercial loan growth? So when we look, definitely we're very happy with the commercial loan growth that we've seen in this quarter. I think when we look at our pipelines and the activity that we're seeing on both the small and the middle commercial businesses, We are encouraged with the activity that we are seeing and as I said in my remarks, we are seeing incremental optimism from the business sector getting ready for what we're starting to expect, which is a more robust economic revival. So I think the business optimism certainly supported by the reconstruction funds coming in and the economic revival. And last but not least is our business model. I think the fact that we kind of focus on doing it fast, easy and well done and we have a business model that gets us a lot closer to our commercial clients is actually getting good traction the convincing answer that this is the moment, who knows, we'll the convincing answer that this is the moment, who knows, we'll probably see it with a rearview mirror. But it certainly starts to look incrementally more positive and hopefully will continue for the years to come as the economy continues to move from rebuilding to expansion. And then if we just dig into the commercial growth a little bit more, can you break out what was construction versus C and I or CRE? I would say most of it is C and I. When we look at our business model, there are some loans, commercial loans that are construction, mostly businesses constructing new warehouses or building new stores as demand has grown and they need the capacity. Those are the larger kind of clients. The smaller clients are mostly C and I lines to operate their businesses and do some small or medium sized acquisitions. So when we look at it, I would say 50% of our originations are for what we call new money, meaning new money by businesses to be deployed into their own businesses. The other 50% is more a refinancing and just going through their cycle, their business cycle. So again, that's how we break it down and when we look at the large commercial apart from what I just mentioned on construction, most of it is C and I lending businesses that are expanding their operations as the economy grows. Got it. And then just switching gears to the NIM. Maritza, maybe you could just quickly break out the contribution from PPP and NII this quarter? Well, yes. At the MPPP loan program is going down as we continue to forgive loans. And for this quarter, there were only an incremental effect of 2 basis points as we have some forgiveness that increased our fees there. It was about $400,000 only. So it's not significant during this quarter, only 2 basis points. Did you get the answer, Alex? Are you there? Operator, can you help us out? One moment. And Alex, your line is open. Can you hear me? Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Okay. Yes, I did get the answer, Maritza. Thank you. And then you guys are now sitting on 27% of your balance sheet is just cash. Is there any update to the strategy with respect to activating some of that huge cash position? Yes. I mean the update is we're going to take a look at it now and at the end of the month of July we're going to review our capital deployment options and we'll certainly communicate any decision made to the street accordingly. So yes, we're clear, Alex. We have a significant cash position. We have strong earnings and strong earnings momentum. So we're building a lot of capital also. So we get it and we'll convey the message to our Board and we'll come back with a decision on how to continue to move forward on our capital deployment strategies. In a more consequential way than probably earlier anticipated. Okay. So when you talk about capital just continuing on that theme, I think earlier this year, you had sort of alluded to reassessing the dividend for second time this year, as well as I mean, are you now saying there's maybe some other possibilities on the table like a buyback for example? Yes. We always have everything on the table. We when we look at this, so we'll look at everything again. And as I said, we know how things are moving along in terms of our performance and in terms of our capital growth. So we'll be more focused if you want to call it to look at all options at this time. Okay, understood. And then back on to the margin, just when I look at the cash position sort of capital deployment aside, is there any update to the strategy of maybe activating some of that cash with additional securities purchases? I know loan growth is kind of what we're all hoping for or repaying some being more aggressive on reducing the cost of funds with some of that cash, anything like that? Yes. So the way we look at deploying cash to the investment portfolio, we're going to be very patient given where levels of interest rates are today. We mentioned in the call that we're the FHA loans that we originate, we're converting them to Ginnie's and we keep them on our books on the investment portfolio. So we're just not going to just go out there and deploy cash into long duration, low yielding mortgage backed securities. So we'll be patient there. We are definitely looking into deploying our cash into lending activities. We see momentum certainly on the commercial side as I mentioned. We also see good momentum on the consumer and we've seen for a while now higher levels of origination on the auto side. So we'll continue to deploy there. And then we'll look at the mortgage origination business also and see if we can with home prices not only stabilizing but starting to increasing price across all areas, we might start looking more seriously into non conforming lending strategies for us to keep in the books. So those are all in play from the lending side. And I mentioned the capital management strategies that we're going to take a look at it now. Cost of funds, yes, we will continue to look at it. You saw that the effect this quarter, we'll see additional effects in the next quarter and it's something that we continue to look. I think you guys need to understand that we're also operating in a 3 bank market and that's new for us in Puerto Rico, it's new for everybody out there looking at the island banking market. And I think we have great opportunities here to generate above average returns across the board. Right. And then just as I think about cash on the balance sheet with the child tax credit starting to hit people's bank accounts, I think in the last week, at least here. Is that the same in Puerto Rico? And would that suggest that cash balances should actually just continue to grow until at least over the next couple of months? So it has significant benefits for Puerto Rico, but it's not necessarily immediate. The way it's going to be processed, remember, we don't pay federal taxes. So the way it's going to be processed is probably going to have an effect later in 2022. But it definitely has an impact in Puerto Rico because the limitations in terms of the caps in dollar amounts and the amount of kids that will qualify was eliminated for Puerto Rico and it was paired to the U. S. States. So from that perspective, the dollar amount that will benefit the island will be higher than in years past because more kids qualify and certainly the income levels in Puerto Rico make it pretty widespread in terms of the impact in terms of the families. It's just that the process is not going to be equal in terms of the cash deposits, it's not going to be equal to the one in the States. So there's a little bit of a change there, but otherwise it will have an eventual important impact. Understood. And then just in gears to the ACF, I was just wondering, Alex, I think that You have stopped on me. Looking for the consumer to start deploying the cash also. And I think this quarter got benefits from the second, third or fourth wave of COVID stimulus, right, for the individuals. And we're also seeing on the commercial side how they're paying their lines of credit and bringing them down to 0 balances because of the excess liquidity they have. Our expectation is in the second half of the year, we will see some of that excess liquidity on the consumer and commercial to be deployed incrementally into consumers or into consumption or in the businesses that they operate in. So our expectation is not for continued deposit growth from the consumer and commercial as we've seen in the several quarters past. Got it. And in terms of sort of the macro commentary, is the expectation for the expanded unemployment benefits to expire in September? Has there been any talk down there about that deadline changing either bring it forward or anything we should be thinking about? I haven't heard anything. I suspect it's going to end now at the deadline and I have not heard anything specific on that. I'm really trying to stay away from listening to too many politicians. Okay. And then just switching gears to the ACL a little bit, you're still over 3% excluding PPP. Charge offs look a lot like any other bank, quite frankly, very low, historical low for you guys. How are you thinking about the ACL right now? Are there still some quantitative or rather qualitative factors that you guys are incorporating? Still anything you're sort of waiting to see before releasing reserves? Or you think that's just going to sort of gradually grind lower? Let me give you my big picture and I'll let Maritza give you the details. But I agree with you and we've said it in the past. Now that Puerto Rico is kind of turned the corner from 2 decades of economic contraction and we're seeing the start of the revival. Our bank financial performance all throughout the last 2 decades has been pretty good in spite of that economic contraction. Now that we have the revival, I think credit trends are going to trend towards the peers in the States. And I agree with your assessment that our numbers for this quarter certainly are equal or better than some of the banks in the States. We look forward to continue to confirm that that's the trend in the quarters to come given what we're seeing on the economy. Regarding the ACL, I'll let Maritza give you the details. Well, as you mentioned, Alex, I think that the level of allowance that we have at this point are still elevated. And as we continue seeing credit trends at this level and the economic revival continue being tangible for everybody. We see our allowance coverage gravitated towards the level of day 1 and with a good probability that be better than that, lower than day 1 accounting. But we need to continue seeing consistent and these metrics be sustainable to the time to start really seeing any potential qualitative adjustment that we still have within the allowance. We have a kid on the way, so we got a bigger freight for our house. Okay. And then when I look at fee income and I look especially at the level of the banking service revenues struck me as high this quarter, but then I also realized we've never really seen a clean quarter post Scotia. So the 18.2 is that kind of the right run rate to start at? Is that a normalized level? So again, right on point on your comment, Alex. The COVID pandemic delayed the full kind of momentum that we brought in with the Scotia acquisition. So this is the Q1 where we're seeing all systems go with the Scotia acquisition. When we look at banking service revenues, that is also the case and that's what encourages us because it has a lot to do with business going rate, but it's certainly a rate, but it certainly starts to look like it is. Great. And then just last question for me, when you think about the efficiency ratio target that's kind of mid to low 50s by the end of 2022, does that do we need to see some rate hikes to kind of help that out or is that something that can be sort of achieved in the current environment? Yes, we certainly need the rate hikes. In a growing environment, growing business environment, it's very, very difficult to just reach the low 50s efficiency ratio by just bringing down expenses. And as I said in quarters past, we're making some investments in technology and digital and that will certainly have an impact there. So yes, we do need some help from interest rates going up and that's why I mentioned earlier on the question regarding deployment of liquidity. We expect even though we've been wrong so far, we expect interest rates to inch up and be more compelling for us to invest in the investment portfolio and also get a little bit better returns on our variable rate commercial loans that we have in the books. And that should impact and help improve our efficiency ratio to the mid to low 50s. That's our expectation. Perfect. Thank you for taking my questions. Thank you, Alex. Have a great day. You too. Thank you. And your next question is from Jon Krotman of Rubrik. You mentioned there's only 3 commercial banks on the island. How would you characterize the competition for deposits? And what does that mean in your opinion for interest rate sensitivities for us in the future? [SPEAKER JOSE RAFAEL FERNANDEZ:] Competition for deposits is strong. We were particularly on the commercial side. So when we look at the consumer side, it's the expected competitive landscape of making sure that we serve our customers on the individual side. But on the commercial side is keen and there's some, I would say above level aggressive levels of pricing in the commercial side. What does that mean for sensitivities into the future? I think we will have a lower for longer when interest rates go up. That's how I see it. And switching to commercial loan growth, there was discussion there with Alex around some of the inputs there. But with respect to construction, which has tended to be some of the biggest multipliers in terms of economic activity construction is. When do you think we see larger scale construction projects really start to take shape on the island? It's all dependent on how CDBG funds are deployed in the island. They're starting to be deployed. There is some federal contracts that are being approved and signed. So my expectation is in the second half of the year, we'll start seeing those and incrementally growing going forward, but hard to be specific to your question. 3rd question is on loan loss provisions. Obviously, we saw some progress there. Was there can you help us out in just understanding some of the macroeconomic changes if those were incorporated into the model that helped drive some of the release there in reserves and if things continue where we are right now, should we expect that to continue with reversals in the back half? There are no changes on macroeconomic assumptions. The changes that you're seeing on the provision is basically based on the credit performance of our loan portfolios. And since they improved, our model just spits out a release. We take care of the charge offs and then we run the model and it spits out the provision number, which is in this case was a negative provisioning because of as Alex mentioned, we are having a low level of credit losses and we see our delinquency levels at a very low levels also historically as well as NPL. So that's how it works out. We do not tinker with the economic assumptions. That is something that we do that when we have a shock to the system and that shock happened last year. So is it fair to say then if third parties like Moody's Economics were to upgrade the island, their economic forecast, whether it's because of a debt deal resolution or other macroeconomic areas that are improving on the island that would as that's incorporated into our Indoora model that would potentially accelerate loan loss provision reversal? I think you're looking too much into it honestly. I think the 3rd parties in this case Moody's or whoever, they just run their macroeconomics for the island and we discuss it with them and we include those assumptions into our model and we run the allowance calculation. Economic assumptions and all that stuff because there has to be a complete shift in those in the economic reality for those assumptions to change dramatically 1 quarter to other. So at the end of the day, it's about primarily how your loan portfolio from a credit perspective is performing. And that's how we that's what moves the needle. Got it. Okay. And then, bigger picture question with some of the efforts around the G20 and the global minimum corporate tax rate. If that were to proceed and there seems to be some barriers within various countries within the G20 and Blessing something like that. But if that were to proceed and we were to see a minimum corporate tax rate, how does that affect investment on the island? Does that impact prospective investment from say pharmaceuticals that talk about reinvesting in the island? That's for a higher IQ. I am a normal level IQ guy. I don't have the answer for that, sorry. Got it. Okay. And then just last question, Again, bigger picture on the island. What are you sort of seeing out of the local the Puerto Rican legislature and the Puerto Rico? Yes, I said earlier, I don't I try to stay away from the political landscape as far away as possible, but the short answer to it is nothing. Okay. Thank you. Yes. Thank you for your questions. Thank you. And your next question is from Ann Wicklund of Easterly Investment. Good morning. Hi, good morning. How are you? I'm good. I wanted to circle back to the CET ratio. So last quarter you gave us a target of more like 11% to 12% and you're currently sitting at about 14%. So first, can you quantify how much excess capital we will have and sort of the timing on, again, garnering that excess capital? And then second, and Alex kind of touched on this question, but I wanted to ask other possibilities. We talked you talked about loan growth and non conforming loan growth non conforming loans. Is M and A on the table at all or maybe a small financial technology bolt on to help build out your customer service offerings? And then another thing you haven't talked about in a while is your U. S. Investments in the syndicated loans. Just can you kind of provide some color on that? Yes, sure. So you asked me 3 questions. I hope I can remember all 3. If I don't, please remind me of the question. So I'll start with the CET question first. As I said earlier, we know we're building capital quite fast given our results and so far in the first half of the year. So yes, we do recognize that we have excess capital. It's around 2.5, 300 basis points of excess capital that we can manage on. So we know what we need to do and in terms of deploying that capital. And I don't want to go into the specifics here, but I can tell you that at the Board we're going to be looking at this very closely from a capital management perspective and strategies to deploy that capital. So the second question was regarding M and A and if there's any opportunity for us to do M and A. I don't see any M and A opportunity here in Puerto Rico. Opportunities in the States, it's something that we were not right now focused on in terms of M and A. So that's not something that we have off our cards. And then I think the third question you asked me was regarding the U. S. Loan program that we have launched on 2017 and kind of give you an update. So we continue to build that book as part of our diversification, geographic diversification. I think it's the right thing to do. We have, I would say right now, 50% of the book is middle market loans. The other 50% are small commercial loans that we have a partnership with a bank in the States. So that's kind of how we're going at it. We're slowly but surely building that. Certainly the numbers in this quarter from that bucket did not do any dent on the did not affect significantly the balance of our loan book or the commercial book. Most of the originations are small commercial loans that mostly lines of credits and really did not affect the loan balances in this quarter. But that's how we see that and we continue to methodically build that business as part of our longer term strategy. Did I miss any of your questions? No, that was great. Thank you and great quarter. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. And at this time, there are no further questions. I will now turn the call back over to Jose for closing remarks. Thank you, operator. Thanks again to all our team members who have helped our customers through the pandemic and done a great job in the first half of the year. And thanks to all our stakeholders who have all have listened in. So have a great day and looking forward for the next quarter call. Thank you. This does conclude today's conference call. You may
