Net sales were up 17%, totaling $2.8 billion in the fourth quarter. Shifting focus to Small Ag and Turf on Slide 6. Also, it's worth noting that last year's results were negatively impacted by employee separation expenses resulting from restructuring activities.

Net sales of $4.66 billion were up 23% compared to the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to higher shipment volumes and price realization.
