    1. Given the expected slowdown in profit improvement from your services and membership categories next year, particularly as you have lapped the changes to your membership offerings, how do you plan to sustain growth and profitability in this segment?
    2. With the anticipation that product margin rates will be a larger pressure in the fourth quarter compared to the third, can you elaborate on the specific factors contributing to this decline and how you intend to mitigate its impact on overall gross profit rates?
    3. As you have increased advertising and technology expenses, resulting in higher SG&A dollars excluding the benefit from the extra week last year, how are you balancing these increased costs with the need to improve SG&A leverage amid softer revenue performance?
    4. Considering the complexities and potential risks associated with tariffs and your sourcing exposure to China and Mexico, especially for the 2% to 3% of products where you are the importer of record, what specific strategies are you implementing to mitigate these risks and manage supply chain disruptions?
    5. In light of the highly promotional environment and inconsistencies in promotional effectiveness, how are you adjusting your pricing and promotional strategies to protect margins while ensuring you remain competitive and meet the value expectations of consumers?
