flat to down mid-sickle digits range we communicated previously. On a legacy adjusted EBITDA margin, we expect to finish toward the lower end of the previously communicated range of 8% to 9%. Q3 benefited from a more favorable mixed tailwind that we expect to be less pronounced in Q4. Shifting to fourth quarter. On the SAC store business, we expect fourth quarter net sales of approximately $57 million to $59 million and adjust EBITDA margin of 10% to 11%, a meaningful sequential step from Q3 and consistent with the near-term margin expectation we communicated when we announced the transaction.
