All right. Good morning, and thanks for being here at the DB Tech Conference. I'm Bryan Keane. I cover the payments, processors and IT services here at Deutsche Bank, and we're excited to have Global Payments. And with us is Josh Whipple, who's SEVP and CFO. So I think we will go through a Q&A and a fireside chat. We're missing the fire, but we do have a nice table up here to asking Josh an update on GPN's business. So with that, Josh, thanks for being here.
Joshua J. Whipple - Global Payments Inc. - Senior EVP & CFO
Yes. Thanks, Bryan. Great to be here.
Questions and Answers:
Bryan Connell Keane - Deutsche Bank AG, Research Division - Research AnalystSo I guess, the first question is obligatory one about looking at volumes, and we saw stronger-than-expected retail sales in July. So how would you characterize GPN volumes in the U.S. in July and August versus kind of 2Q '23 overall?
