- We expect to subcontract approximately 13% to 16% of our Service revenue to third-party vendors for calibration beyond our chosen scope of capabilities.
- We continue to evaluate our tax provision on a quarterly basis and adjust, as deemed necessary, our effective tax rate given changes in facts and circumstances expected in the future.
