Senior VP & Treasurer

I would say the volumes truly hung in there very well versus sort of what our expectations have been coming in, in February. We had anticipated a slight decline in quantity as a result of we have seen a number of volatility in these tendencies from a seasonality perspective all year long. We took our 2017, ’18, ’19 common seasonality over that point interval, sort of put it on prime of that decline in quantity. And we have actually hit that fairly shut each single month of this yr. For instance, this previous third quarter, the place we posted a 3% decline in quantity, we might anticipated that primarily based on a normalized seasonality pattern. So I would say that quantity actually sort of appears to have normalized, and we have gotten a number of the volatility out.
