O.a.
Finally, I wanted to touch on our capital returns to shareholders. All the hard work we have done in recent years to reposition the balance sheet and optimize our business means that we're in an excellent position to consistently generate and return cash to shareholders......
Fundamentally, there is no change in our capital allocation. Capital allocation remains the same. We remain very focused on delivering consistent returns to shareholders. You know our capital return policy, 50% free cash returned to shareholders. The company is performing well, it's generating free cash, net debt will come down this year quite significantly as well. It also came down last year.....
