Chris, as it relates to China, it's a very different operating environment relative to the rest of the world, in part, because of the way they're going about stimulus with a pretty unique approach in terms of the way they're going about monetary stimulus, while at the same time there are some fiscal challenges.

As we navigate the COVID-19 global pandemic, we continue to execute against our five-point value-creation model, which emphasizes our unique specialty positioning, organic innovation operating excellence, disciplined capital deployment and a sharp focus on people and culture.That said, I'd like to focus my comments today on our near-term operating priorities relating to the COVID-19 period that I outlined on our last earnings call. In aggregate, as we look to the second half of the year we are expecting improved demand across the business in particular for instruments, as we expect a gradual easing of capital spending constraints in all of our end markets.Looking specifically at China. So, China is a different environment, but is also one we obviously know very well. In the second quarter of 2020, our free cash flow came in at $175 million after funding $46 million of capital expenditures. Our customers have responded enthusiastically to our offers of deep scientific and technical expertise across a range of COVID-19 therapy and vaccine candidates under development.In particular, our unique system solutions have been very useful in critical workflows including peptide mapping, glycan analysis and oligonucleotide analysis. Our multiphased safe return to workplace process is well underway with teams returning to our major facilities in several stages.Our second priority is to ensure business continuity. And it was much better than we thought. A reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP earnings is attached to the press release issued this morning.Turning to free cash flow, capital deployment and our balance sheet, I'd like to summarize our second quarter results and activities. The deliberate actions and cautions we have taken during the pandemic have minimized the infection rate within our employee population, while still enabling the organization to operate efficiently and effectively. This analysis aims first to contrast CEO compensation with other large companies. Obviously, we have more visibility on Q3 than we do on Q4 at this point and we'll just continue to try to provide clarity on how we think that's going to shape up as we move through the year.Okay. If you take a look at Street consensus numbers, it looks like investors were expecting at least a nominal return to revenue growth in the fourth quarter. Your line is open. Currency translation decreased sales growth by approximately 1%, resulting in a sales decline of 13% as reported. And we think that's probably something that is more at risk this year than typical years, but we'll just have to wait and see. But we knew or we believe heading into the second quarter that that would probably be our period of most significant top line challenge. When Chris O’Connell became CEO of Waters Corp. three years ago, one of the first things he did was to pick up the phone and call Jim Waters, the company’s founder. First part of your question there on Arc as you know we have a very, very strong installed base and franchise with the Alliance HPLC as well as with the ACQUITY UPLC of course on the higher end. Next earnings release call and webcast is currently planned for October 27, 2020.During today's call, we will be referring to certain non-GAAP financial measures. I can see why you have two extra gains. So that recurring revenue service in chemistry piece was a helpful we think leading indicator of ultimately what will turn out to be instrument demand, although admittedly instrument demand continues to lag, although not nearly as impacted in Q2 as it was in Q1.Our next question comes from Douglas Schenkel with Cowen. So that's a pretty good indicator.

We're monitoring our business conditions and will adjust our plans as appropriate based on the pace of the recovery.Returning to our second quarter non-GAAP financial performance.
