* Ralliant will be reclassified as discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2025. For the purposed of this release, Fortive Continuing Operations results for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 assume that Ralliant had been classified as discontinued operations for such earlier periods.
RALLIANT SEPARATION
On June 28, 2025 (the 'Distribution Date'), Fortive completed the separation (the 'Separation') of its former Precision Technologies segment by distributing to Fortive shareholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ralliant Corporation ('Ralliant'), the entity incorporated to hold such businesses. To effect the Separation, Fortive distributed to its stockholders one share of Ralliant common stock for every three shares of Fortive's common stock outstanding held on June 16, 2025, the record date for the distribution.
Beginning with the third quarter of 2025, the Company will classify Ralliant as a discontinued operation in its financial statements, as a result of the Separation. The results of the Precision Technologies segment are included in the consolidated results of Fortive for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024. However, results for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 indicated in this document as 'continuing operations' reflect Fortive results, with the Precision Technologies segment treated as discontinued operations for such prior periods.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release also references 'adjusted net earnings,' 'adjusted diluted net earnings per share,' 'adjusted EBITDA', 'adjusted EBITDA margin', 'free cash flow,' and 'core revenue growth,' which are non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons why we believe these measures, when used in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures, provide useful information to investors, how management uses such non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included in the supplemental reconciliation schedule attached. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures, but should instead be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Fortive in this release may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. With respect to forward-looking non-GAAP measures, we have not reconciled with, or presented, corresponding forward-looking GAAP measures since doing so would require us to make assumptions with precision about acquisitions, currency translations, capital and other expenses and other similar adjustments during the future periods.

FORTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
AND OTHER INFORMATION
Management believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures described below provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitate comparisons of our operational performance and profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.
The information presented below reflect GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations for the non-GAAP measures for Fortive including the results of the Precision Technologies segment ('total Fortive') and Fortive on a continuing operations basis ('new Fortive').
These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We disclose for total Fortive and new Fortive, on a consolidated basis, the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted net earnings, historical adjusted diluted net earnings per share, and for Fortive on a continuing operations basis, the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization ('adjusted EBITDA'), and adjusted EBITDA margin, which to the extent applicable, make the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings, and GAAP diluted net earnings per share:
Excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition related intangible assets;
Excluding on a pretax basis acquisition, divestiture, and separation related items;
Excluding on a pretax basis the costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from ongoing productivity improvements in terms of the size, strategic nature, planning requirements and the inconsistent frequency of such plans as well as the associated macroeconomic drivers which underlie such plans (the 'Discrete Restructuring Charges'); and
Excluding on a pretax basis the gain on sale of property;
Excluding on a pretax basis the effect of gains and losses from our equity investments; and
Excluding on a pretax basis (to the extent there is a tax effect) gains and losses from divestitures.
In addition, for new Fortive on a consolidated basis, with respect to the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, we make the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings before income taxes:
Excluding on a pretax basis net interest expense;
Excluding on a pretax basis depreciation expense; and
Excluding income taxes.
In addition, for total Fortive and new Fortive, on a consolidated basis, with respect to the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted net earnings and historical adjusted diluted net earnings per share, we make the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings and GAAP diluted net earnings per share:
Excluding the tax effect (to the extent tax deductible) of the pretax adjustments noted above. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying our overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment (unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment). We expect to apply our overall estimated effective tax rate to each adjustment going forward; and
Excluding the discrete tax expense resulting from the Separation of Ralliant.
We also disclose for each segment of Fortive on a continuing operations basis, the non-GAAP measures of historical adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which to the extent applicable, make the following adjustments to GAAP operating profit for the corresponding segment, which is deemed to be the most comparable GAAP measure given interest and taxes are not incurred at the segment level:
Excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition related intangible assets;
Excluding on a pretax basis acquisition and divestiture;
Excluding on a pretax basis the Discrete Restructuring Charges; and
Excluding on a pretax basis depreciation expense.
Amortization of Acquisition Related Intangible Assets
As a result of our acquisition activity, we have significant amortization expense associated with definite-lived intangible assets. We adjust for amortization expense of acquisition related intangible assets incurred in each period, and impairment charges incurred, if any. We believe that this adjustment provides our investors with additional insight into our operational performance and profitability as such impacts are not related to our core business performance.
Acquisition, Divestiture, and Separation Related Items
While we have a history of acquisition and divestiture activity, we do not acquire and divest businesses or assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to inventory fair value adjustments are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. In addition, transaction costs, which include acquisition, divestiture, integration, restructuring, and separation costs related to completed or announced transactions, and the non-recurring gains on divestitures of businesses or assets are unique to each transaction and are impacted from period to period depending on the number of acquisitions or divestitures evaluated, pending, or completed during such period, and the complexity of such transactions. In connection with the Separation, we also incurred costs primarily related to professional fees for legal, tax, accounting and finance, information technology services, and other general and administrative costs, including compensation related expenses, as well as costs to stand up the new company to operate as a stand alone entity. We adjust for transaction costs, costs related to the Separation, acquisition related fair value adjustments to inventory, integration costs and corresponding restructuring charges related to acquisitions, in each case, incurred in a given period.
Discrete Restructuring Costs
We will exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans originating from significant macroeconomic trends or material disruptions to operations, economy or capital markets from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Fortive Business System or from execution of general cost saving strategies. Because these restructuring plans will be incremental to the fundamental activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating costs in a given period, we exclude these costs to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time. Restructuring costs related primarily to an acquisition are not included in this adjustment but are instead included in acquisition and divestiture related items. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we initiated a discrete restructuring plan related to the Separation that is expected to be completed by December 31, 2025, we adjusted for the related discrete restructuring charges.
Gains and Losses from Equity Investments
We adjust for the effect of earnings and losses from our equity method investments over which we do not exercise control over the operations or the resulting earnings or losses. We believe that this adjustment provides our investors with additional insight into our operational performance. However, it should be noted that earnings and losses from our equity method investments will recur in future periods while we maintain such investments.
In addition, we adjust for remeasurement gains and losses, including impairment loss, on equity investments. We believe such adjustments facilitate comparison of our performance with prior and future periods and provides our investors with additional insight into our operational performance.
Gains and Losses from Divestitures
In May 2025, we recorded a gain resulting from an immaterial divestiture in our IOS segment. In June 2024, we divested and transferred ownership of Invetech, excluding the Motion Solution Business, to its management team (the 'Invetech Divestiture'). We adjust for gains and losses from divestitures because we believe the adjustment facilitates comparison of our performance with prior and future periods and provides our investors with additional insight into our operational performance.
Gain on Sale of Property and Charitable Contribution Expense
On March 14, 2024, we completed a transaction to sell land and certain office buildings in the Precision Technologies segment for $90 million, for which we received $20 million cash proceeds and a $70 million promissory note secured by a letter of credit, with principal received in August and November 2024. During the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, we recorded a gain on sale of property of $63.1 million in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
Concurrently, during the first quarter of 2024, we pledged to make a charitable donation of $20 million to the Fortive Foundation ('the Foundation'), a related party, without any donor imposed conditions or restrictions. In the third quarter of 2024, $20 million of the promissory note due in November 2024 was reassigned to the Foundation. We recorded a charitable contribution expense of $20 million within the 'Other non-operating expense, net' line in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
We adjust for the gain on sale of property and charitable donation expense because we believe the adjustment facilitates comparison of our performance with prior and future periods and provides our investors with additional insight into our operational performance.
Discrete Tax Expense Resulting from the Separation of Ralliant
We adjust for discrete tax expense items that resulted from the Separation of Ralliant. These discrete items are non-recurring expenses that resulted from the US GAAP calculation of income taxes from continuing operations and do not reflect our current or future cash tax obligations.
Management believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures noted above provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitate comparisons of our operational performance and profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.
These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Core Revenue Growth
We use the term 'core revenue growth' when referring to a corresponding year-over-year GAAP revenue measure, excluding (1) the impact from acquired or divested businesses and (2) the impact of foreign currency translation. References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested businesses or product lines that have been divested or, at the time of reporting, are pending divestiture but are not, and will not be, considered discontinued operations prior to the first anniversary of the divestiture. The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisition and divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation from sales measures because currency translation is not under management's control and is subject to volatility. We believe that such exclusions, when presented with the corresponding GAAP measures, may assist in assessing the business trends and making comparisons of long-term performance.
Free Cash Flow
We use the term 'free cash flow' when referring to net cash provided by operating activities calculated according to GAAP less payments for capital expenditures.
Management believes that such non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors in assessing our ability to generate cash without external financing, fund acquisitions and other investments and, in the absence of refinancing, repay our debt obligations. However, it should be noted that free cash flow as a liquidity measure has material limitations because it excludes certain expenditures that are required or that we have committed to, such as debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures. Such non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Q3 2025 Revenue Outlook: Expected to be between $72 million and $76 million, representing 70% to 79% year-over-year growth. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with ZEPP. Release Date: August 04, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Zepp Health Corp (NYSE:ZEPP) achieved a 46% year-over-year increase in revenue, reaching $59.4 million, marking the first quarter of year-over-year revenue growth since Q2 2021. The T-Rex smartwatch maintained competitive edge with sustained volume growth, setting new standards in the premium outdoor smartwatch category. The Helio Strap, a screen-free fitness tracker, received extensive praise for its accuracy and affordability, tapping into a new market niche. Zepp OS 5.0, powered by AI, achieved substantial advancements in functionality and performance, enhancing user experience. The company successfully mitigated tariff impacts through a flexible supply chain and multi-region sourcing strategy, enhancing operational resilience. Negative Points Gross margin was slightly down year-over-year due to a higher revenue proportion of lower-margin entry-level products. Operating costs increased slightly to $26 million compared to $25 million in Q2 2024, despite efforts to reduce expenses. The company experienced supply constraints with the Helio Strap, impacting potential sales growth. Cash balance decreased from $103 million in Q1 2025 to $95 million as of June 30, 2025, influenced by timing and operating performance factors. The company continues to face challenges from evolving tariff policies and global wearable technology trends. Q & A Highlights Q: Could you please give more color on the recent spike in share price drivers? A: Leon Cheng Deng, CFO: The recent share price increase is due to several factors. Our products are well-received, and our brand is gaining recognition, as evidenced by our successful Amazon Day. Additionally, the market is undergoing a value discovery phase, recognizing that smart hardware companies like ours are gaining market share. We believe our company is undervalued compared to peers, and as we continue executing our strategy, we expect continued growth and value revaluation. Q: How many more product launches are planned for the second half of the year compared to the first half? A: Leon Cheng Deng, CFO: In the first half, we launched entry-level products like Bip 6 and Active 2, and mid-tier products like Balance 2 and Helio Strap. We have exciting products in the pipeline for Q3 and Q4, which will be on par with or exceed the number of launches in the second half of the previous year. Q: Do you expect gross margins to improve in the coming quarters, potentially reaching closer to 40% for the full year? A: Leon Cheng Deng, CFO: While we don't guide on gross margins, we expect them to expand in the second half of the year due to a full quarter of sales from Balance 2 and Helio Strap, along with new product launches. The product mix will likely improve, leading to higher gross margins. Q: What percent of your imports to the USA come from Vietnam, and what are the current tariffs for Chinese and Vietnam production? A: Leon Cheng Deng, CFO: Products shipped from China to the USA face tariffs just south of 25%, while those from Vietnam have close to zero tariffs due to waivers. We aim to ship as much as possible from Vietnam to mitigate tariff impacts, and our efforts have been better than expected. Q: What kind of sales contribution do you expect from the new Helio Strap launch, and what gross margin does it carry? A: Leon Cheng Deng, CFO: The Helio Strap, launched in June, has been well-received and carries a healthy gross margin on par with the company's overall margin. It is priced at $99 and is gaining popularity, with supply constraints being addressed to meet demand.

Chunghwa Telecom Reports Un-Audited Consolidated Operating Results for the Second Quarter of 2025

TAIPEI, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (TAIEX: 2412, NYSE: CHT) ("Chunghwa" or "the Company") today reported its un-audited operating results for the second quarter of 2025. All figures were prepared in accordance with Taiwan-International Financial Reporting Standards ("T-IFRSs") on a consolidated basis. (Comparisons throughout the press release, unless otherwise stated, are made with regard to the prior year period.) Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Total revenue increased by 4.8% to NT$ 56.73 billion. Consumer Business Group revenue increased by 1.4% to NT$ 34.07 billion. Enterprise Business Group revenue increased by 12.4% to NT$ 18.98 billion. International Business Group revenue decreased by 16.8% to NT$ 2.20 billion. Total operating costs and expenses increased by 4.8% to NT$ 44.19 billion. Operating income increased by 5.2% to NT$ 12.54 billion. EBITDA increased by 3.5% to NT$ 22.58 billion. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent increased by 3.5% to NT$ 10.17 billion. Basic earnings per share (EPS) was NT$1.31. Total revenue, operating income, net income attributable to stockholders of the parent and EPS all exceeded the upper end of our proposed guidance. "We're proud to deliver another outstanding quarter, with results exceeding the upper end of our guidance across revenue, operating income, net income attributable to stockholders of the parent, and EPS," stated Mr. Chih-Cheng Chien, Chairman and CEO of Chunghwa Telecom. "Second quarter revenue reached a ten-year high for the same period, driven by robust growth in our core telecom services and enterprise ICT business. Despite ongoing global economic uncertainty, evolving geopolitical risks, and the rapid pace of digital transformation, our performance underscores the strength of our business model, the agility of our organization, and our ability to capitalize on emerging opportunities." "Chunghwa continued to lead the mobile market, achieving record highs in both subscriber and revenue share," said Mr. Rong-Shy Lin, President of Chunghwa Telecom. "In fixed broadband, higher-speed plan adoption and bundled service offerings drove further ARPU expansion. We also saw broad-based growth across consumer allocation services, including multi-play packages, video content, and cybersecurity solutions. Our Enterprise Business Group delivered a standout quarter, with total ICT revenue up 37% year-over-year, fueled by strong demand for IDC, cloud, AIoT, and 5G private networks. While our International Business Group faced temporary headwinds due to project timing, demand in Southeast Asia remained solid with new ICT contracts secured in Vietnam and Singapore. We remain focused on expanding our presence in high-growth overseas markets." "Looking ahead, we remain confident in our strategy to position Chunghwa as a leading digital enabler in the AI era," added Mr. Lin. "From launching major submarine cable systems and scaling LEO satellite connectivity, to being upgraded to MSCI ESG 'AAA' and receiving prestigious data center awards, we are building a future-ready infrastructure that ensures resilient, secure, and intelligent connectivity—both in Taiwan and globally. These advancements reinforce our industry leadership and create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders." RevenueChunghwa Telecom's total revenues for the second quarter of 2025 increased by 4.8% to NT$ 56.73 billion. Consumer Business Group's revenue for the second quarter of 2025 increased by 1.4% YoY to NT$ 34.07 billion, with its income before tax increased 4.8% YoY. The remarkable performance was mainly driven by steady growth in both mobile and fixed broadband ARPU. In addition to stable performance of core service revenues, CBG also benefited from higher smartphone sales, as consumers accelerated purchases in anticipation of potential tariff fluctuations. Enterprise Business Group's revenue for the second quarter of 2025 increased 12.4% YoY to NT$ 18.98 billion, mainly driven by our robust growth in ICT business, which saw a 37% year-over-year increase in revenue, fueled by the strong performance of our emerging services. As a result, EBG reported a robust 5.4% increase in income before tax during the quarter. International Business Group's revenue for the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 16.8% to NT$ 2.20 billion, while its income before tax decreased 11.9% YoY. The decline was mainly due to reduced demand for international fixed voice services and softening international roaming revenues. Operating Costs and Expenses Total operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2025 increased by 4.8% to NT$ 44.19 billion, mainly due to higher manpower cost and the growing ICT business. Operating Income and Net IncomeOperating income for the second quarter of 2025 increased by 5.2% to NT$ 12.54 billion. The operating margin was 22.1%, as compared to 22.0% in the same period of 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents, as of June 30th, 2025, decreased by 7.1% to NT$ 35.05 billion as compared to that as of June 30th, 2024. EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was NT$ 22.58 billion, increasing by 3.5% year over year. EBITDA margin was 39.80%, as compared to 40.31% in the same period of 2024.

In the second quarter, total mobile service revenue increased by 2.0% to NT$ 17.06 billion, while mobile post-paid ARPU excluding IoT SIMs maintained stable and flat year over year at NT$ 556.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESTo supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Supervisory Commission, or T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provides EBITDA, which is a "non-GAAP financial measure". EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) total net comprehensive financing cost (which is comprised of net interest expense, exchange gain or loss, monetary position gain or loss and other financing costs and derivative transactions), (iii) other income, net, (iv) income tax, (v) (income) loss from discontinued operations. In managing the Company's business, Chunghwa Telecom relies on EBITDA as a means of assessing its operating performance because it excludes the effect of (i) depreciation and amortization, which represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii) certain financing costs, which are significantly affected by external factors, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and inflation rates, which have little or no bearing on our operating performance, (iii) income tax (iv) other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business. CAUTIONS ON USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESIn addition to the consolidated financial results prepared under T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provide non-GAAP financial measures, including "EBITDA". The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations. Chunghwa Telecom's management believes investors will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, the Company recognizes that: these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; and these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with T-IFRSs and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principle. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to Chunghwa Telecom, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company's results to the results of other companies. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results as a substitute for results under T-IFRSs, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.

GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with BGS. Release Date: August 04, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points B&G Foods Inc (NYSE:BGS) demonstrated sequential improvement in trend and performance in Q2 2025 after a challenging Q1. The company completed two key divestitures, which are expected to sharpen focus, simplify the business, and improve margins and cash flow. The U.S. frozen vegetables business is expected to turn profitable in the second half of 2025, with a projected increase in segment adjusted EBITDA. B&G Foods Inc (NYSE:BGS) is committed to reducing leverage and expects to reduce it to 6x within the next 12 months. Cash flow continues to be strong, with $17.8 million generated in net cash from operations during Q2 2025, up from $11.3 million in Q2 2024. Negative Points Q2 2025 net sales were down 4.5% compared to the previous year, with base business net sales down 4.2%. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 was $58 million, a decrease of 9.3% compared to the previous year. The frozen and vegetables business unit experienced a significant decline in segment adjusted EBITDA due to higher costs and trade spend. The specialty business unit saw an 8% decline in net sales, primarily due to lower Crisco oil pricing. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 9.4% in Q2 2025 compared to the previous year, impacting overall profitability. Q & A Highlights Q: Bruce, can you clarify the expected decline in core business sales for the second half of 2025? A: Yes, excluding divestitures, we expect base business sales to be down about 1% for the second half. This includes a benefit from the 53rd week, which will add approximately $15 million to $20 million in sales during the fourth quarter. Q: How are you planning to mitigate the impact of tariffs, particularly in the spices and flavor solutions segment? A: We are implementing targeted pricing actions to recover tariff costs, primarily affecting garlic and black pepper sourced from China and Vietnam. There will be some lag due to retailer lead times, but we expect to offset some of the impact with productivity and cost savings efforts. Q: Can you provide more details on the impact of recent divestitures on your guidance for the year? A: The guidance adjustment is primarily due to the divestitures. The outlook for the second half remains consistent with our expectations following the first quarter results. Q: What is the status of your spices and seasonings business, and are you seeing any benefits from increased home cooking? A: The spices and seasonings business is not fully meeting our expectations. We anticipate slight growth in the second half, supported by targeted pricing to recover tariff impacts. The category is benefiting from increased demand for fresh proteins. Q: Are there any plans to change sourcing strategies to mitigate tariff impacts on spices and seasonings?
