Excellent. Good afternoon, everyone. We are delighted to welcome the leadership team from McCormick here with us today. As a quick note, this marks the final presentation of the day. Therefore, kindly ensure you gather all your personal items before leaving, as the room will be secured afterward due to upcoming rehearsals and other preparations.
Additionally, let us take a moment to express our gratitude to McCormick for their generous sponsorship of the reception that will follow this session. Attendees can anticipate an array of creatively flavored offerings that highlight the company’s expertise.
Instead of a traditional formal breakout session, McCormick’s management will be available to engage with participants at the reception, so please keep that in mind as you plan your interactions.
In the current landscape of the packaged food industry, which has presented numerous challenges, McCormick stands out as one of the few large-cap companies achieving steady volume growth. As Chairman, President, and CEO Brendan Foley often emphasizes, McCormick does not vie for consumer calories; rather, it enhances them with exceptional flavors. The audience eagerly anticipates insights into the company’s strategies and objectives for the upcoming fiscal year, particularly with some additional pricing adjustments on the horizon.
