Despite these headwinds, we remain steadfast in our commitment to our strategic priorities. Our Toothbrush portfolio delivered another year of robust growth. Our margin profile remains healthy and resilient, underpinned by effective execution of our Funding The Growth program. We continue to capitalize on our solid margin position by reinvesting in the business. Looking forward, while we anticipate continued near-term macro headwinds, we expect to see a gradual recovery in market conditions in the latter part of the year.?
