The funding of our working capital in the first six months of 2026 increased by $25 million compared to the first six months of 2025. Increased usage was driven by the change in inventories using cash of $560 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to using cash of $352 million during the first six months of 2025, and the change in accounts receivable using an additional $246 million in cash compared to the same period in 2025. These changes were offset by the change in accounts payable providing cash of $454 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to $375 million in the first six months of 2025 and the change in salaries, wages and related accruals providing $265 million more in cash during the first six months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
