Hi, Bill.
William Chappell – SunTrust Robinson Humphrey
I guess first on kind of the sell-through type numbers imply that the de-stock did still affect the June quarter. So does that mean that sell-through was close to the higher single digits in the quarter at North American retail?
Myles B. McCormick
No. That’s not so would implies, we’ve got a number of channels that go in the North American retail. And so, we’re specifically with respect to this wholesale channel, yes in fact go in our sell-through around it’s typically selling.
William Chappell – SunTrust Robinson Humphrey
Okay. So I mean a mid-single digit sounds above right?
Myles B. McCormick
Yeah.
William Chappell – SunTrust Robinson Humphrey
And then, just well I am on the items. Can you give us kind of an idea it’s tough with so many moving parts of kind of what the growth potential. There is still left within the industry be it for the mineral-based cosmetics, are we at later innings with so many products out there, or is there still a lot of room to grow or so we really we focusing on kind of the skin care type business and the international type businesses the major drivers of growth?
Myles B. McCormick
Good question. The way we sort of think about our growth long-term and late three major drivers that of course one is adjacent categories like skin care, which we believe is a significant opportunity. Given the [Inaudible] to the brand and frankly to natural positioning of what we did today in cosmetics makes a lot of sense. And our daily percentages to the product that we offered have evolving very positive. So we think that is certainly a significant opportunity for us over the long run. Of course following that is our expansion internationally with the core cosmetics business and again that we do believe as it is incurred with other brands like us that there is significant opportunity.
In the U.S. marketplace for the core bareMinerals line there continues to be expansion not only in the core foundation business and the core face business if you well. And again our efforts surrounding that on that launch is part and partial for that we do believe there continues to be additional groom within the face category, despite the fact that we are leader in the category today and [Inaudible] share that. We continue to believe that there are markets of opportunity within that to expand into a more as such we are very encouraged by the positioning of matte, certainly the early recession we had on that.
