No. I would say if we dial back to where we were in 2019. We still think that business has a ton of room to grow organically and through acquisition. It's a great business. It does what it's supposed to do in terms of keeping people healthy and safe. We did kind of move sideways last year, but sideways was a pretty good position to be in.
I mean, we actually finished the year up for that business. We did press pause a little bit in '20, just in terms of -- and it wasn't that we pressed pause, but people were kind of on pause with respect to trying to make decisions about whether to implement these programs, depending upon how they viewed COVID and what the impact was in these various industries.
But we're seeing development activity pick up. Our development team has done a wonderful job. We had some contracts that were set to go in '20 that got the pause button pressed, and we think we'll get some of those back. And we're still working through it. I mean, in various industries, there's more impact than others. And so we still feel some COVID impact, but it's definitely getting better.

We are in a very competitive industry but overall, if I look at pricing, it is rational still. So that's a good sign. I think the competitive environment is strong in a number of countries, but we've been able to drive our business with a very good pricing discipline. So we've seen some good expansion of margins, the bill rate expansion as well in a number of countries, notably in the U.S. So we expect that to continue also going forward.

Yeah. Thanks for taking the question. When thinking about the guidance, were the last three quarters of over 30% operating margin kind of artificially high? And then could you provide some details on the operating margin guidance for the third quarter? Are there particular line items that are expected to ramp up? And is the low to mid-20% range that we should expect as you ramp for growth in the next coming years?

Clearly, any increase in employment, blue collar employment and infrastructure is a good or a great thing for us. I can't quantify for you what that would look like. We're not banking on that as part of our future growth, but it would just be a potential, another tailwind to top line growth. You know, it does tend to drive the workweek business work, apparel, business, denim both work in western. So it would be it would just be another great add to the business that's been experiencing some really strong growth anyway.

Yeah, good afternoon, I wanted to ask you a bit about the, I guess, the fluidity and constraints that you see in the system? You know, what are the most important things points? And how do you think that they could potentially alleviate as you look forward? You know, I guess maybe, you know, East West rails, and you know, how much courage is a constraint is present time?

Sure. I can't really go into too much details there, but I can talk in general terms in terms of where benchmark was and where indicative benchmarks we think we foresee. Last year, benchmark was just under 300, it was 299 per tonne. And what we've seen so far and into the end of fourth quarter and into this year, we saw about 50% lower in terms of indications where benchmark might.
Spot prices have been all over the place with the container shortages that are happening in China, so you've got higher freight costs. So all in all, it looks like they're going to be better than what they were in 2020 for 2021. And copper, it's looking like -- last year's benchmark was about $60 per tonne on the refining side and we're seeing about -- indications are there about 25% lower in that regard. That's all I feel comfortable on comment.

Well the tax rate is still right around 20%, which is consistent with our original guidance. And then net interest and other expenses is about $45 million.

I know we're getting to the top of the hour so I'll make it quick. If I can just come back to the carbon question, especially if you think about some of the advantage credits here, can you talk a little bit more about the specific structuring and how you would take advantage of the 45Q or otherwise from a carbon neutrality perspective to the extent possible? And then separately, just how is relatively does that position your expansion opportunities here vis-a-vis alternatives? Again, I gather that the geography might be more amenable than others, but that's open-ended here. Would love to hear on that. And then do you have any sensitivity you can speak to a little bit on the hedge position, to clarify the last question there? I'll leave it there.

No -- exactly. And they're probably trying to build a little bit of inventory too. Just looking at some of the project work that's coming in and some of the things we're working on for customers, it's -- there are some really, really good activity out there. So --

That's an excellent question. And when you know, please let us know as well. I'd say this, first of all, the situation has not yet -- has not improved yet. So we are managing through this complex environment, and there's a lot of juggling going on, and R&D resources that are working on qualifying alternative sources in order to make sure that we are never short on what we really need in order to deliver.
And it's especially challenging when you're growing, and you're growing in two accesses. You're also growing in the volume of the existing products and also trying to release high volumes of new products because the kind of practice in the components business is that they allocate for you something that you received the prior year, maybe with a slight increase, and they expect you to be happy with that.
And -- but if your business is actually growing dramatically as it is in our case, it becomes more complex. So the situation is challenging. But again, we're managing through it. In terms of a sense as to when there is a dramatic improvement, I don't know that we have information that someone else doesn't have.
So there are a couple of our suppliers that we really depend on, that we do have some visibility in terms of new capacity that they are bringing online and when that will happen and how we secure access for ourselves into that capacity, but that helps us on some very specific critical items, but the challenge is much, much broader than that. And again, I don't think that we have a better understanding than what is generally reported in the news about this topic.

Maybe I can take the first question regarding guidance. We -- we are not filling up a two-year guidance. And then on the going-private process, for the given unpleasant change still remaining for centuries, to be cleared around some of the sub-specialties not recovering, we also believe we're not in the clear position about this year's guidance. Previously, we have not given out clear guidance in any case and -- and acquire recovering period.
In light of the "going private" proposal, we wanted the special committee to do the independent evaluation, and the typical, what's this, company going through this phase does not give out guidance. And in Q4, there are one-off benefit, including salary reductions that are temporary in nature that will be reverted in 2021. The reversion has been completed. There are some benefits that's being included in the Q3 and Q4 numbers.

Yes. Hello. Good morning. Thank you very much for taking the question.
So in the press release, you alluded to $21 billion in revenue for the year. So basically, that suggests around $6 billion in fourth quarter revenues, which I take is going to come from a combination of slightly lower volumes and higher prices. Could you mention what do you expect for cost and EBITDA, given relatively stable revenues in the fourth quarter, implicitly in your comments?

Sure, Tom. So first thing is, I think with our business, it's always better to look at whichever line you're looking at it, it can be sales and marketing as a percent of revenue. It could be gross margin. Any particular line item there that you look at. For our business, it's always better to look at it on an annual basis. Sometimes you might see movement either positive or negative in a quarter.
So an annualized view is always I think, more reflective of the business. Longer term, what we've said as it relates to adjusted EBITDA margins of about mid-30s or 35% as a target. In there, we're assuming that sales and marketing is low '20, meaning, at that point, we're still obviously adding a bunch of customers. We're still upselling to dozens of customers. But to get to sort of the mid-30s, we're assuming sales and marketing is that low percent. It doesn't mean there's not opportunities for it to go lower, but that's what we've penciled out as it relates to what that spend will look like when we're at mid-30s EBITDA margin.

Orders are up strong double-digit. It is probably -- I don't have that right in front of me specific to that business. In terms of the decline in shipments --.

Yes, Nick, you're right. I mean, the labor constraints are the same everywhere. So it's not like our tenants are immune from that. So we hear that quite a bit.
But they still have orders. They still have business to do. So it's not stopping them from really leasing space. And remember, a lot of our tenants are running second or even third shifts.
So what we're seeing in some locations is they would run a third shift if they could find people, but they can't. So labor is really the No. 1 for them that we hear from them. Transportation costs are up, obviously.
But inverse to that is we benefit the logistics business, right? The warehousing business is benefiting from the chaos in the logistics pipeline, so.

Yeah, thanks, James. So the -- we are fully staffed and we're fully staffed as of the end of the quarter in all major markets except for Miami Dade. And so the big spread that we're seeing in comp trends actually is balance the company compared to Miami Dade. So the positive comp trend that we referenced of plus 4.3% versus 2019 and up 16.7% versus 2020 is referencing basically all major markets except for Miami Dade. We are making progress in Miami Dade. As Rich mentioned, we have implemented additional initiatives, additional incentives to increase staffing levels. And those staffing levels -- are continued continuum for, so but we still have some more work to do in Miami Dade, that's not at an adequate level as we said here today.

We're very cautious, obviously, because yes, we already have 1.5 years of experience of this. At this point, that's ramping up. We expect that all the stakeholders learn enough in the 1.5 years to take measures that are not so disruptive. So at least we don't expect to go back to the very beginning of this, but we will see some ups and downs, but I think what's important for this is the resilience of this packaging in channel shifts. If you recall, just, I mean, back in very early 2020, we had some expectation that as on-premise was going to go down, off-premise wouldn't be able to go high enough to offset. The reality is it mostly offset. So when it goes back and forth, we replace one for the other. That's what is happening. And glass is performing quite well. So we feel pretty good about being able to perform even if this variant continues to rise and create some restrictions for a time.

No. It has nothing to do with Certus. It was really all about how you apportion a fixed price contract among the users and the different services and external customer bases and that was -- it completely was about an IoT device that used to cost X dollars a year now cost Y dollars a year. Certus was completely independent of that. It's priced separately from that. They are buying it independently from our -- from VARs and that is mapped to sort of a competitive price range. And so no, it won't affect the Certus purchases.

Yeah. Actually, it's pretty simple. Europe is doing very well. And in Europe, the countries that we are doing well are Netherlands, France, Belgium, Spain.
We're just starting to ramp in Germany. We introduced IQ7 into Italy, so that's going to start ramping very soon. We introduced Enphase storage systems into both Germany and Belgium. We're going to see those effects.
But it's really all about Europe. Latin America is a region that we are excited about, especially Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is very strong for us in terms of storage. We expect continued growth in Puerto Rico, both solar and storage in the next few quarters.
Brazil is another one you should be looking at, you should be watching closely. And in Brazil, it's too early to talk about numbers, but it is a big market, 1.6 gigawatts of solar. Of course, it is a cut-throat market. But I think with some intelligence with some -- with some intelligent way to sell the product and with products like the IQ8D, along with our products like the IQ7A, which is the highest power products, I think we should be able to make a serious net, coupled with innovative financing.
So we'll be working on that a lot, but we are excited about Brazil. It's a huge opportunity for us. So that's the color on international, mainly Europe for now.

Yes. Sure, Matt. So what I would say is, to date, other than the cost escalation of many of our precursor materials, we've been able to navigate the supply side of it and make sure that we have been able to keep up and meet customer demand. And we had a little bit of excess sort of precursor inventories coming into the year as well as some safety. In the current environment, with the uncertainty around delivery time of these materials, it may -- it could potentially result in sort of extended lead times for deliveries. We don't see a scenario where stock out would happen or anything like that. But the ability to deliver on what now is over $400 million in backlog in the next six months just from a -- if we miss production slots, it's going to be hard to get them back if we miss them because of supply shortages. So I believe our teams will continue to do the outstanding work that we've been doing thus far, but there are challenges.
