We expect 2016 revenue of approximately $2.82 billion as growth in all non-auto segments offsets ongoing declines in the PND market. We expect gross margins to be approximately 54.5%, relatively flat to the prior year. Operating margins are forecasted to decline to approximately 18% due primarily to ongoing research and development investment and the addition of recently announced acquisitions. With an expected tax rate of approximately 20.5%, we currently forecast 2016 EPS of approximately $2.25. This includes approximately $0.05 of negative impact in 2016 due to acquisitions.
