Sure. Well, Ken, first of all, pricing is an ongoing discussion with customers. I don't want to get too specific about pricing actions that haven't been taken because of customer and competitive reasons certainly. And so, our comments on that are pretty limited right now. I'll remind everybody on the call that 40% of our sales are due to Flavor Solutions segment, and a great portion of that is based on our contractual relationship for this, a pass-through of pricing. We -- I don't think we have the same pressure on pricing as maybe some other companies.
Our outlook is for low-to-single digit inflation. We have a unique basket of commodities and input costs that are not an exact match to inflation or an exact match to our peers, but we do use CCI as well. We are seeing cost inflations. Freight is up, ocean freight in particular is an emerging -- a current and emerging concern, but we're really not prepared to talk about. I can't give any specific comments about pricing right now. We you have some graphs from 2020 of pricing actions and where we need to take pricing in 2021 we're confident we can take it.

Well, I will start. Certainly, we don't expect our growth trajectory to be impacted by the new plan. We will put some pressure on rates and affordability at the utilities that we will have to manage. But we think all of that at this point in time will be manageable. Dave Ruud, do you want to add to that at all?

Yes, I'd say Ben we're right now really sticking with our plan. So I think that's the most important message. It's just happening a bit earlier than we thought. We thought we'd be probably buying shares back in '22 and '23, are looking at various methods of returning capital to shareholders, in that timeframe it has just happened earlier because of the really strong performance in the business in the growth opportunities that we've had, but our overall plan is not changing, is just accelerated. So as -- for instance, then on share buyback, our approach will be subject to market conditions and be judicious about it, but we do want to get at returning this capital back to shareholders, so the overall philosophy of that is not changing. It's just been accelerated from a timing perspective, I think it's the best way to think about it.

Well, the 24 new customers that we announced were primarily in North America and Europe, and Middle East. I mean, those were the three regions that we saw most of those -- these customers come in and not really any notable customers that we can represent as a new design win relative to share from Huawei. I mean, most of the Huawei customers, I think, people have to understand, are large Tier 1 fixed and mobile operators. And the process that we are embarking on right now, it just takes some time.
I mean, I can tell you that there's a pretty significant log of activity across EMEA, especially in India, where Huawei had a pretty strong presence, but we haven't gotten to the stage where we can credibly announce any design wins.

No, I would say, fair question, I think what grab, I would remind you of the fact that obviously the you know, with the absolute price of cigarettes going up substantially with the with the last FET increase. I mean, there was significantly down from there was some significant down trading and made the discount segment more attractive. Look, we've got an excellent track record, and performance with respect to the last FET increase, which is, which is in 2009. You know, we saw an opportunity there, we've planned for it, we capitalize on that opportunity. And we were able to grow both volume and ultimately profits, with with with our pyramid brands. So we have a track record of of good performance, and we know how to capitalize on those opportunities. And you're right, I think we certainly don't fear a federal excise tax increase this time around especially, especially if they look to equalize the taxes and other tobacco products, such as mislabeled type pipe tobacco, that hasn't been paying their their fair share of taxes, today, products out there and misbranded and they they've had an advantage, if they equalize that. I think that's a tremendous opportunity for us to further capitalize and gain share there.

Yeah. It's hard to put a precise number on. What I would tell you is, 72% of our business on a consolidated basis is coming from international markets. The general sluggishness in the international markets has slowed our customers' plans. We hear specific examples of offshore spuds, for instance, being delayed because managing COVID on an offshore rig is very, very challenging. We hear specific examples of our -- our customers are just sort of slow playing approval of projects. There's just -- it's just -- sluggish is the best word to describe it with respect to orders. And so, on the top line, I think it really affects us. But as Jose noted too, a lot of our businesses rely on service technicians that cross an international border every other day to take care of our customers out in the field, and it continues to be very disruptive. It shows up in things like supply chains where freight containers are delayed, where ship -- cost of shipping has gone up. It's -- COVID still continues to impact the operations: our own internal operations as well as the operations of our customers. And maybe it's clearly taking a toll.

Great. Thanks. Good morning. I was hoping to just flesh out the group MA commentary a little bit more, hoping you could frame the magnitude of the pressure from that alone. Because if I heard right, Brian, I think you said that core MLR was actually better year-over-year. So a pretty sizable jump in group MA. And then it sounds like that's more of a premium issue than a cost issue. So I guess, how does that get fixed at this point? Thanks.

Yeah. Generally, our commercial truck off-highway and industrial business is better than our average. And so, that's sequentially -- our sequential move down, still get up year-over-year. And sequentially, it's like 5%, primarily the commercial truck.
We're starting to hear some favorable signs out of our off-highway, kind of, getting on stage set up, hope maybe in the back half of this year, in fourth quarter. But we should be -- we should pretty well be set up. But we're being conservative. Listen, we're rooting for high light vehicle production and rooting for higher commercial truck off-highway. So -- but we're just not counting on it in our business plan.

After September, hopefully, we will close the deal in June, July time frame in the U.S. The timelines match. We will put the proposal to our supervisor and to the respective authorization bodies. Our expectation is to start the process in the fourth quarter of this year.

Actually, in general term, all of our contracts are a little different. But overall, there is a pretty long period of time for partners to select all of their targets within the agreement. And so we're actively working, as we mentioned in the prepared remarks, with each of our current partners to look at their portfolios and identify new targets to move forward into the clinic.

Thanks management. My question is more on the capex plan, because we definitely increased gross new opening quite a lot versus the previous guidance but maintained capex overall. So maybe a little more detail. I know that company talked a bit for some times in terms of the unique capex per store with this small format model, but can you share with us a little bit more about details of how they have been doing in the recent quarters, in terms of the unique capex and the unique sales mix versus before, that caused us maintaining the similar capex, with much more comp for stores? Thank you.

I would say that it's been a little bit muted. I mean, you've seen that the fourth quarter was a little bit challenged and there was a -- with the incidence of COVID over -- after the holiday season, a lot of focus was on that. So, I do think that operators have been very nimble and looking at virtual tours and trying to gain tractions regarding lead generation. So we have, on a case-by-case basis, spoke with some operators that do see trending upward. Others have been flat. So, it's anecdotal information in different parts of the country. It varies.

Yeah, sure. So, regarding the backlog and awarded orders, like you mentioned, we decided we're going to provide that once a year, the concrete number, as part of our annual guidance process. But yeah, what we've seen is that it is growing since December 31, and we'll give qualitative measures on that going forward. But we feel pretty good about that.
The thing to really mention about this, Brian, too, is with the ordering pattern changes in 2020 with the ITC being extended, we feel really good that we have 60% coverage at year-end of our midpoint guidance. So, we really feel good about that, as well as the increase from January.

I don't think that we're lacking in distribution capabilities for potash and phosphate. And I don't think that the main synergy or the main -- or any main part of our execution strategy in Brazil has to do with complementing our ability to bring in phosphate or potash or any other commodity into the Brazilian market. Compass Minerals soon to be called ICL South America is a very competent company, and we want to focus on specialty offerings and unique product offerings. And even more so on the direct relationships that exist with farmers.
The great thing about Compass is that over 50% of the sales are direct to farmer, and that's very unique in the world of Specialty Fertilizer, and we intend to capitalize on that.

It's a great question and something we look forward to giving more color on in the future. We're sort of -- as we are rolling out our direct program, we wanted to start releasing new statistics to our analysts and investor community, the first being what is the size of the connected pool. We'll be talking about existing customer revenue and some other key metrics in the future as we continue to implement the tools required to accurately measure and communicate those. But great question, stay tuned.

Yes, in the North America, there's always a lack of supply of slabs. That's for sure. Before the pandemic, and clearly now, I mean, there's not even one producer of slabs, except probably Lazaro Cardenas, which they are shipping everything to them. So, the lack of slabs in the whole North America -- North America economy, it's a thing that happens, I mean, prior to pandemic and it's happening today. I mean, that's reality. In the rest of the market, I think that Brazil and Russia, which are the two main suppliers of slabs, I mean, they are producing slabs normally.

Thanks, Priya. Probably, we are going to continue to generate cash and continue to reduce debt. That is going to be the focus. So the interest expense reduction is likely to come from reducing, paying down debt rather than any other initiative.

Well. Yeah, John, I think it really depends upon -- the Board is going to meet in early December and it's going to look at how are we doing in Q4 and it's going to look at what's our outlook for next year. That's really what's going to drive whether it's at the low-end or at the high-end. And you can recall, we saw lumber prices just completely collapse going from Q2 to Q3. We expected that to happen at some point during the year, we just didn't know when it was going to happen. But when the Board last met, there was a lot of uncertainty as to what the outlook was going to be, so we came up with this range at the end -- excuse me, at the last Board meeting and that's what we agreed to convey to investors and analysts.
We have better visibility into how the quarter is going to play out now and we also have better visibility into next year, but this won't get formalized until we meet with the Board in early December.

Well, our guidance was against '20 that we were -- in Q2, we're going to be down high single to low double-digits. It's really focused on the strength in June, which is a five-week period and has a big effect on the quarter with that kind of comp.

Well, I mean we could -- we certainly anticipate doing both. But the comments that I made are more related to the equipment side of things. But we do look for opportunities to make sure that our facilities are appropriate and the number of doors are appropriate. And -- but I would say, on balance, the comments that I made are related to equipment or other spending related to optimization opportunities.

Yes. We have just about 1,000 boxes more year-over-year as we finished June and the range that I referenced in my opening comments of 1,500 to 3,000, they are built and ready. It's just a matter of how we find space and the supply chain on that type of box to get it stateside in time to make an impact on 2021. And so we've got a number of things we're working on and competitively I prefer not to share what those are until we get those things all locked in and locked down, Ken, but we have a reasonable amount of confidence probably more so on the lower end of that range than I do on the high end of the range of the 1,500 to 3,000. But as we've learned, particularly when you're dealing with international that things can go bump. And so until you get it -- see it on the ground, you should be a little bit cautious, but feeling reasonably confident on the first half of those.
