Okay. Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us for the Ulta Beauty fireside chat. Today, we're very happy to have Dave Kimbell, Chief Executive Officer of Ulta; and Scott Settersten, Chief Financial Officer. And we'll just get started and start asking questions here.
Questions and Answers:
Katharine Amanda McShane - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division - Equity AnalystSo we're starting most of these sessions with asking about the state of the consumer, health of the consumer. So far, your comps this year have been stronger than expected, driven by traffic as the makeup category recovers. But it's been well documented that the consumer has a little less income with the amount of inflation, that's in the world. So can you talk a little bit about how your business fares when there is more of a cash constrained consumer and what you're seeing from some of the different income demographics that shop also.
