Additionally, I am very pleased with our successful deleveraging in the quarter, resulting in a much-improved leverage ratio. Given the momentum of the business and lower adjusted interest expense from our debt reduction, we are able to make important incremental investments in the business in the second half while increasing adjusted EPS guidance for the year.»
