Good morning. My name is Audra, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the General Mills third quarter and fiscal year 2024 earnings call. Today's conference is being recorded. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press the star key followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, press star one again. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Jeff Siemon, Vice President of Investor Relations and Treasurer. Please go ahead. Thank you, Audra, and good morning to everyone. Thank you for joining us this morning for our Q&A session on our third quarter fiscal 2024 results. I hope everyone had time to review the press release, listen to our prepared remarks, and view our presentation materials, which we made available this morning on our Investor Relations website. It's important to note that in our Q&A session, we may make forward-looking statements that are based on management's current views and assumptions. Please refer to this morning's press release for factors that could impact forward-looking statements and for reconciliations of non-GAAP information, which may be discussed on today's call. I'm here this morning with Jeff Harmening, our Chairman and CEO, and Kofi Bruce, our CFO. Let's go ahead and get right to the first question. So, Audra, if you can get us started, please. Yes. As a reminder, please press star one if you have a question. We'll go next or, oh, sorry, we'll go first to Andrew Lazar at Barclays. Great. Thanks very much. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Andrew. Hi there. Jeff, in the prepared remarks, you mentioned the expected impact in the fourth quarter in terms of reported results from the lapping of the trade expense benefit last year. If we put that aside, which sort of seems like more mechanical, how do we think about momentum for the company in the fourth quarter in terms of what you'd expect in terms of in-market performance and consumption, right, as the company looks to really build momentum going into fiscal 2025? Would you expect sort of an acceleration from what we saw in fiscal 3Q or something similar to 4Q? Yeah. Yeah. Thanks, Andrew. I would agree with you. The timing of the trade phasing is more mechanical in nature, so I think you're right about that. More broadly, what I would say is, I mean, we're encouraged by the third quarter results in the improvement that we saw in underlying performance, particularly the level of competitiveness in North America Retail and an improvement we saw in Pet. As we said kind of going into the quarter, in the back half of the year, we thought there'd be three external factors which would play a role in our performance. The first was lapping pricing of last year. We thought we'd see a benefit from doing that, and we're seeing that benefit in the third quarter. The second is lapping the reduction in SNAP benefits from a year ago, which we said we'd probably start to see in March and April. And there's a little bit of evidence to suggest that we're starting to lap that and see a little bit of benefit. And then the third would be lapping on-shelf availability. And so those are the three factors we've seen the first play out a little bit in our third quarter results, so we are encouraged. What I would say is that outside of the trade phasing kind of mechanical issue you referenced, I mean, we're assuming that our fourth quarter in terms of sales would look about like the third quarter in terms of year-over-year performance. And it's hard to say exactly because we have inventory movements and things like that. But our expectation would be that it would look pretty similar to the third quarter. But I would also say that there are a lot of moving pieces, right, in the fourth quarter. And we'll just have to see how those moving pieces play out in terms of the external environment. Got it. Got it. And then obviously, PET was a significant source of upside to organic sales versus at least sort of street expectations. What really drove the outperformance? And I guess, more importantly, do you see this as sustainable? I didn't know if you had an all-channel consumption number for PET this quarter and whether you see that sort of continuing to improve sequentially from here or should we not get ahead of ourselves based on what we saw in 3Q. Thanks so much. Yeah. Well, the third quarter PET results were pretty good, I mean, which is to say that they're better than maybe even we expected. The movement was a little bit better and paced by a Life Protection Formula, which was up. But also, Tastefuls, our cat-driven business, which also showed some improvement as well, as well as an improvement in our wet business. We still have a lot of work to do in PET, and we know that, and particularly with regard to Wilderness and specific channels. What I feel good about the third quarter is what it shows that the areas we put emphasis on, we've seen growth in and certainly improvement, which tells us that Blue Buffalo equity is good and that we're working on the right things. On Wilderness, we kind of know what the challenges are, and we know what to do to get it back on track. But it's not going to take a month or two to get that back where you want. It's going to take a couple of quarters. So I'm not going to get ahead of myself. I don't think it's time to declare victory on PET, even if we're encouraged that the things that we have done have seemed to work the way we wanted to. I would note the other thing on PET is that we drove some good profitability increases in the quarter. Our productivity levels are quite high in PET, and we had a lot of disruption costs during the pandemic that we've had to get out. And we're in the process of doing that, and you see that in the results in the third quarter. And so we're really pleased by that. We're kind of getting our feet under us from an executional standpoint. So while I'm encouraged by the third quarter, I think it's probably a little bit early to say kind of what's going to happen from here on out. But we do see some green shoots in PET. Great. Thank you so much. Yep. We'll move next to Ken Goldman with JP Morgan. Hi. Thank you. With the understanding it's too soon to quantify or really even discuss next fiscal year, I just wanted to clarify something at first. At CAGNY, I believe you said you were hoping for a year, even though it's too early, that was relatively benign. With the understanding, again, no numbers at this time, I assume, what does relatively benign mean in the context of your longer-term algo? I'm asking because you have easy comparisons in PET. You're hopefully still performing well in market. You said previously you'll have savings above 4%, or you hope to. Inflation should be disinflationary, for lack of a better word. You're going to get help from lapping SNAP. That could reel off a lot of potential positives into next year, but yet you weren't yet ready to kind of say it would be on algo. I'm just trying to get a better sense if a month later than CAGNY, you're in a little bit of better position to be somewhat more specific about how to think about maybe some of the puts and takes for next year? Well, Ken, yeah, you reeled off a lot of things we said at CAGNY, so pleased to hear that. And you're right. When I say the benign environment, what we hoped to be, I guess it would with regard to a couple of things, hopefully with regard to inflation. We still see an inflationary environment. It's 4% now. It was double digits last year. And long term, it's been kind of 2%-3%. And so hopefully, we're headed in the long-term direction as we look at next year. We'll certainly give guidance in June on what that exactly looks like. But to the extent we can have a more benign inflationary environment and a supply chain environment, we don't see the disruptions we've seen combined with good productivity, that's a good start. I think then the question for us, which we still really haven't answered yet, even a month after CAGNY, is how exactly are some of these external factors going to play out in the fourth quarter as we lap SNAP and as we lap on-shelf availability of private label and some of our smaller competitors? Those things are a little bit, I would say, too early to call. But I will say the third quarter played out largely as we expected, and the benefits of lapping pricing played out as we expected. And so it may be completely unsatisfactory, but I'm not going to comment on fiscal '25 at this time other than to reiterate our productivity is good. We've seen inflation slowing, although there still is inflation. And we'll know a lot more about what to expect out of the top-line performance in a couple of months. I knew going in I'd be partially unsatisfied, but that was helpful. Thank you. Then quick follow-up. You mentioned that and just now again, you mentioned SNAP reductions coming in the U.S. In a number of states, a decent chunk of those reductions have already been lapped. I don't know if your data would show this, but I don't mean to put you on the spot. Is it fair to say that you've seen improvements in these states, or is it just a little more complicated than that? I'm just trying to get a sense because so much of what you're talking about depends on a little bit of that macro and how consumers react. Yeah. The answer to your the short answer is yes and yes. And I'll explain. I mean, the first yes is that, yeah, we have seen a small benefit in the states where we've lapped the SNAP benefits. And so we have seen that. But I think it's important to remember a couple of things. One, that'll take a while to play out. It's not as if there's one event and it just kind of happens and there's a cliff change. The other is that benefit is not huge. I mean, there is some benefit, but it's just not a huge benefit. The other yes is you said, oh, there's some complicating factors. And the answer is, of course, I mean, because we're lapping pricing, and pretty soon, we'll have on-shelf availability changes. So there's just a lot of factors in the environment that make it a little bit noisier than a perfect correlation. But the short answer is we're seeing a little bit of benefit in the places where we've lapped the SNAP so far. Thank you so much. Yep. We'll move next to Max Gumport at BNP Paribas. Hey. Thanks for the question. So first on PET, it looks like the action plans you discussed for the PET segment last quarter are starting to bear fruit. So on wet pet food specifically, I think you inflected from a minus double-digit decline in 2Q to growth in 3Q. I was hoping you could talk about any early signs of success you might be seeing with these more value-oriented multi-packs and how they may or may not inform your view of what the 24-pound bag could be doing for Wilderness over the coming quarters in pet retail. Thanks. Yeah. I would say on the wet pet food side, we certainly have seen improvements, whether it's all the way back to growth or not. I mean, I'm not sure it's all the way back to growth, but we certainly have seen improvements. And importantly, we've seen the improvements in the wet pet food business in the places where we got our price points back in line with what we thought would be beneficial. So that's good. We haven't gotten them back everywhere yet, so that's still a work in progress. And I think that'll play itself out in the fourth quarter. But we are encouraged that the actions that we took that we thought would have a benefit are having the benefit that we thought. And so some like Yogi Berra there. But that is so that feels good. How that relates to 24-pound bags of Wilderness, I guess I would say on Wilderness, I think it's going to be more complicated than just that. I mean, we need to get back to advertising Wilderness with a message that's going to resonate to consumers. We have some ideas on that. We're working on that now. That'll be important. And then working with the pet specialty channel in particular where Wilderness has had a challenge. And they want to work with us, and we want to work with them. And so that's positive. But we have some more work to do in that channel. And then there's some SKUs that we need to bring back. So I wish Wilderness were as simple as getting 24-pound bags in, but I think it's going to be a little bit more complicated than that and take a little bit longer. But we are encouraged by the fact that what we have diagnosed on wet pet food and then the actions we have taken have largely played out the way that we thought. Max, this is Jeff Siemon. I'd just add a point on the net sales on wet food you mentioned were up and that we didn't include that in our prepared remarks. That was true. They're up modestly. There's some inventory differences as you look at the individual sublines. So retail sales on wet food are still down. They're better, but we still have some work to do to get them all the way to right. But you were right that from a net sales standpoint, they were up slightly in the quarter. Yes. I think I saw that in the slide deck. And then one follow-up would be just given the clean balance sheet and the continued emphasis on portfolio reshaping, yeah, I think it's safe to assume you're actively looking at acquisitions. I think past commentary would suggest you're focused on snacking and pet food categories and also businesses that play in your eight core geographies. That said, I'm just curious, given some of the recent industry news, how you might view ice cream, especially knowing that it is one of your global platforms. Thanks. I'll leave it there. Sure. I appreciate the question. Yeah. On portfolio shaping, we really haven't changed our approach to portfolio shaping. We're pleased with what we have done and the 20% change we've made so far. We also know there's more to do, both in terms of acquisitions and divestitures, to get back to the growth levels that we're looking for. But we've been looking for a while. And it's important to note that we have been and will be very disciplined when it comes to looking at acquisitions. And we're only going to do things that make sense for the shareholders, not just to chase a growth goal. And we remain disciplined over the years. And the places we're looking are things that would be growth accretive. And certainly, PET is a place that we like. You mentioned snacks. There are some meal categories we like as well. And so there are a number of places where we could go that would be either in categories we're in or tangential to categories and geographies where we feel like we've got some competitive advantages. I'm not going to talk about the recent announcements in ice cream specifically. I'll leave that to our competitors. And I don't talk about M&A and particular deals. We like our ice cream business. I mean, Häagen-Dazs is a great brand. And it's a super premium brand, and it's growing nicely. It's good in Europe. It's really good in Asia. And so it's one of our five global platforms. So we obviously like that category. But particularly, we like Häagen-Dazs. And that it's a super premium brand is playing in growth spaces, and we feel very good about that brand. Next, we'll go to Chris Carey at Wells Fargo. Hey. Good morning. Just one follow-up and another question. Jeff, you mentioned in response to Andrew's question that fiscal Q4 revenue should look similar to Q3. Were you referring to the consumption or actual organic sales growth in the quarter? I was referring to the consumption growth because as we look at it, because of the timing of some of our expense phasing, there'll probably be about a three-point headwind on what we report. What I was referring to was the consumption, which is really the most important piece. The others, not that it's not important, but it's an accounting catch-up and kind of mechanical in nature, as Andrew suggested. So what I was referring to was the sales out, if you will. Yeah. Perfect. Okay. That's what I thought. Kofi, just on, clearly, sales were better than expected. Gross margins, I think, were a bit light relative to street expectations, namely given positive pricing, easing inflation, strong productivity. Can you just expand a bit on maybe some of the key factors in the quarter that offset some of those positives? I think inventory workdown, the volume deleverage relative to the year-ago growth. Just any context on those items and how durable they might be into your Q4 and potentially a bit more medium term. Thanks. Yeah. Sure. I appreciate the question. And I think you've got the plot on the key drivers. The only thing I think would be helpful to add just to give you some additional perspective is that the inventory absorption, which was frankly one of the side benefits of supply chain stabilizations we've been able to take down our levels of inventory we're carrying. And while that was a benefit to working capital and cash flow, it was about a 70 basis point headwind on gross margin, which I think would probably close most of the gap that you're referring to. Okay. Perfect. I'll leave it there. Thank you. You bet. Next is Rob Dickerson with Jefferies. Great. Thanks so much. So this might be just kind of a broader question. I know with the NAR, I guess, kind of calling out a little bit more pressure, let's say, in meals and baking and snacks, then maybe there's a little bit more strength in other areas. So I'm just kind of curious, broadly speaking, right, now that we've kind of gone through what we would all consider a fairly material pricing phase, have you seen any kind of general shifts, let's say, in just category consumption? Consumers seem to be kind of consuming a little bit more here than they used to relative to other areas. I'm just trying to kind of consider any types of shifts in kind of the value proposition of some of your brands and also just the category positioning. Thanks. Yeah. I'll start in a little bit different place, and I'll work my way back, maybe to your question. I would say one of the shifts we've seen since the beginning of the pandemic is more food consumption at home. Food consumption at home is a couple of points higher than it was going into the pandemic. Roughly about 86% of food is served at home. The reason for that is because food served at home is such a great value. It's about four times less expensive to eat at home than it is to eat out at a restaurant on average. As Americans have felt the challenges with inflation, part of the way they deal with value is that they eat food at home rather than out. Obviously, we're a great source of value when it comes to that. That's actually probably one of the biggest shifts. Interestingly, private label shares are about the same now as where they were before the pandemic. In the categories that we're in, private label is about 10% of the category. In fact, they're down 10 basis points from when the pandemic began. Overall, food and beverage is about 19 points. So we haven't actually seen a big shift when it comes to value there. When it comes to specific categories, one of the things I'm most pleased with, our performance over the last few years, is our ability to hold our gross share in half of our categories over that time. So it's broad-based. We've seen some big gains in our business, like Pillsbury refrigerated dough, which has done quite well, and meals and baking over time. The same with fruit snacks. Both of those businesses are up 60% over the last few years. We've consistently gained market share in those businesses. Obviously, we haven't in Pillsbury this year because private label is getting back on shelf, but over the course of time. We feel really good about that. We've had some struggles in bars, as you well know. I can say one of the things I'm pleased with, as we look at our business now, Nature Valley is back to growing share. It was even before one of our competitors had a big recall. It's not a recall-induced kind of activity. We've had some good new product innovation in Nature Valley. Our marketing is working in Nature Valley. I think we shared some of that at CAGNY. And so that's one category where we had struggled, where we feel like we're getting a little bit of momentum. And then on Yoghurt, too, it's an area where we have struggled as well. But we have done well. We've got Yoplait Protein out there right now, which is off to a nice start. But broadly speaking, I would say we haven't seen huge changes category by category in consumption. All right. Fair enough. And then just quickly, you called out in the prepared remarks just a little bit of pressure maybe from the consumer in China and also Brazil. Maybe just kind of give us the quick kind of state of the union, what you're seeing in both countries. And that's all. Thank you so much. Yeah. Sure. And in China, the biggest factor in our China business, I think it's important to note, is in our Wanchai Ferry of frozen dumplings, where a year ago, Chinese consumers were kind of on lockdown. And so there was a lot of at-home consumption. So we're lapping that. And so the comparisons are very, very difficult in-home. That's the biggest driver of our challenges in China, if you will. The other driver, though, is that we have had the store traffic in China is down a little bit from where it had been before. And I think that's probably a function of the Chinese consumer feeling the pinch of an economy that has slowed down over the past year. But the bigger driver is actually the Wanchai Ferry dumplings. In Brazil, it's kind of similar to the US, where the point now we're lapping pricing from a year ago. Our hope is we start to see our Brazilian business start to stabilize here over the coming quarter or two. That's been the big challenge. They've seen huge commodity price increases in Brazil. So our input costs have gone up quite a bit in Brazil. We're lapping those now in Brazil kind of as we are here in the U.S. My hope is that as we head into our fourth quarter, that we start to see our comparisons kind of ease a little bit. All right. Super. Thank you so much. We'll move next to Robert Moskow at TD Cowen. Good morning, everyone. This is Jacob Aiken-Phillips on for Rob. Two quick ones. So I understand the trade timing, 3% impact this year in 4Q. But last 4Q, you talked a lot about inventory reduction headwinds, and you said about 3% then. So did you ship ahead in 3Q, or are there some other factors that we're missing? Yeah. And let me answer that to the best of my ability. But if I didn't get the question exactly right, ask it again. And I'm not trying to avoid it. I would say in the third quarter, we had built inventory a year ago. And this year was pretty benign, I would say. If you looked at our Nielsen data in North America Retail, you see a two-point difference. Some of that is due to the fact that for unmeasured channels, we're growing faster than measured channels. And only the balance of it is inventory growth. So our inventory is in a good position as we head out of the third quarter. And as we look at the fourth quarter, it's tough to say what's going to happen. You're right. Last year, we bled inventory, several points' worth of inventory in the fourth quarter last year. And so you may ask, "Well, does that mean you're going to build it this year or not?" The answer is, "I'm not really sure." It's really difficult to predict inventory changes. What I would say is that we feel like we're in a good place as we end the third quarter with our retail customers, whether that's in North America Retail or whether that's in PET. We don't have too much inventory, but I think we have enough. And so we're not expecting any change in the fourth quarter. And to the extent there is a change, we'd think it would be modest. But we'll let that play itself out. Yeah. Yeah. You got the question. Thank you. And then another one is so reduction in incentive comp. I know you have the trade timing headwind in 4Q, but are there any changes to your expectations of investing in media or in the brands going into 4Q, or is it how you're expecting last quarter? No. I appreciate the question. I would say one of the things that's worked really well, and I want to make sure it doesn't get lost in the strong profit performance in the quarter, is that we have continued to invest behind our brands at a mid-single-digit rate. I wouldn't expect that to change as we go into Q4, even as we're driving better than expected profitability in a year in which we've seen, obviously, some top-line pressure. So from where I sit, I think what you're hearing is we'll continue to keep our foot on the pedal. I don't expect a material change. So I'd expect around the year out, somewhere in the mid-single-digit range of increase on our media, which will put us comfortably ahead of our top-line expectations. Thank you so much. You bet. We'll take our next question from David Palmer at Evercore ISI. Hi. A question on North America Retail and what you're looking to see from that segment as you think about Fiscal 2025. Obviously, that's a key high-margin segment, and there's some big categories that make a lot of money for you in that segment. And I'm wondering, for those of us that are watching the scanner data and thinking about how you'll be thinking about the business and whether you can be sort of on Algo for Fiscal 2025, what should we be looking for that will give you that confidence? For example, do you need to see volume approach flat year-over-year? Are there a couple of categories that you're reviewing a little bit more closely than others? Yeah. I would say without giving guidance to fiscal 2025, but still trying to kind of answer the tone of the question, I guess I would say we'll look for continued improvement in North America Retail. And hopefully, we'll see it in PET, too. But North America Retail, since you asked about that, hopefully, continued improvement. We saw a little bit in the third quarter, and we'll see about what happens in the fourth quarter, particularly in volume improvements. And we'd hope to see that broadly. I mean, of course, we always look at the cereal category and what we're doing there and snacks and Mexican, some of our big categories. But I would say that would be, broadly speaking, that's what we're looking for. So we'd like to get back to we'd like to get back to a position of growth as a company. And we're going to continue to invest to do that, to make sure we invest in marketing to make sure we grow. And so in a year where we hope productivity is still strong, as we talked about earlier, and inflation is still there, but hopefully relatively benign, hopefully, we can reinvest some of that productivity back into marketing spending so that we can continue to grow the top line of the business. Because we've been very good in the middle of P&L. The biggest challenge, obviously, this year has been with growth. And so it's really important for us as a company and NAR in particular, but everybody, really, to get back to growth. Then you were talking about early signs of a SNAP or lack of SNAP subsidy headwind, I should say. What are you seeing? Is that something you're just seeing in the last week or two? Is it specific to certain categories that you think are a little bit more family-oriented or meal-oriented? I mean, what are you seeing there? And thank you. Yeah. The first thing, a couple of important points about SNAP. I said them earlier, but I'm going to reiterate them because I think they're important. The first is that we have seen a little bit of a benefit, but it's not going to be a step change. It's not going to come in, frankly, week by week. And it'll roll in over time. And the benefits we're going to see from those are going to be modest. I mean, they may be we think they'll be a benefit, but I think they're going to be modest in nature. The other thing, I guess the other context I would add, and I'm not going to go category by category, but the benefits do accrue category by category. And so they're not going to be even from one category to the next. As we look at it, yes, we'll aggregate them because that's the easiest way to do it. But some categories are different than others. Certainly, when you're serving families, as we do for our portfolio, those are categories that tend to benefit from SNAP benefits more than others. Thank you. We'll go next to Pamela Kaufman at Morgan Stanley. Hi. Good morning. Good morning. Hi, Pam. Just in thinking about some of the headwinds that may be abating over the couple of quarters, do you have an estimate of how much you think that SNAP may have impacted your overall growth or industry growth? And also just the improvement in on-shelf availability, how much of a tailwind can that be to your growth outlook? Yeah. I think, Pam, I'm not going to. This would be unsatisfactory, so I apologize. But I'm not going to try to quantify either one of those two things only because there are so many moving pieces. We are lapping pricing as well in the external environment. But I would say the SNAP benefits are pretty modest. They're there, but they're pretty modest. But look, I'll take a modest benefit at this point. The on-shelf availability should also provide a modest benefit to us. But again, that'll be over time, and it won't be a one-time event. And that'll really start kind of the end of April, beginning of May, we would start to see the benefits of that into our first quarter. And so I think as we talk to you in June, hopefully, we'll give a little bit more satisfactory answer about kind of what we're saying because we'll have seen both of these things play out for a period of time. Okay. Understood. And then just on corporate expense, a pretty notable reduction year-over-year. What's contributing to that? And should we be extrapolating these levels going forward? Pam, appreciate the question. The primary driver in the quarter was reduction in our incentive-based comp accrual as we obviously are tracking a lower top-line performance and comping last year, where we had to increase it pretty sizably on outstripping our top and bottom-line performance last year. So I expect this to be a benefit that we'll see specific to the quarter. The other item is related to our recall insurance recovery, which we booked in the quarter. So those are specific to the quarter, and I wouldn't expect them to be part of the base expectation going forward. Okay. Thank you. You bet. We'll go to the next question from John Baumgartner at Mizuho Securities. Good morning. Thanks for the question. Jeff, I wanted to come back to the value-seeking consumer. In North America Retail, the areas where volume has still been lagging. You look at cereal, dough, frozen snacks, where category pricing is up a third to 50% since 2019. What can you do at this point? Any levers left to maybe enhance volumes that are a bit more independent of the macro? I mean, can you go to the pack change it as you're doing in PET? Can you innovate or market consumers into higher prices? Or is it just that some categories overshot on pricing relative to what consumers can bear? Now it's down to either taking prices the other way or just waiting for consumers to grow into these levels financially? Yeah. Thanks, Jon. A couple of things I would say. The most important thing I would start with is that what you see in all the categories you mentioned is a significant change in input cost inflation. So we've been the recipients of quite a bit of inflation over time, more than 30%. In fact, I think it's 32% over the past three years or so. So the cause of prices going up really has been input cost inflation and the prices that we received. As we look category by category, we don't think we're out of line to where we were pre-pandemic, actually. And I think it's important, as consumers seek value, they seek it in a variety of ways. The most important way are the benefits that our brands provide. And so part of the reason that we continue to invest in media and marketing and will continue to do so is that our brands have value in what they provide. Cheerios provides heart health. And Pillsbury provides quick, easy, convenient meals at dinner time. And so that's the most important thing. But then more specifically, consumers also look at value in different ways when it comes to pricing. And some want to buy in bulk. And so they'll be going to a mass store to buy big boxes of cereal, for example, for the lowest-priced rounds. Or they'll be buying 80 packages of fruit snacks at a time at a warehouse store. Otherwise, they'll feed the soccer team. And otherwise, they may be stopping off at a dollar store or a discount store to buy one pack at a time. And so there's not one monolithic consumer. Every consumer looks for value in their families in a variety of different ways, including trying to feed their families at home. So we don't think that our pricing has gotten ahead of inflation. In fact, it hasn't. And we feel good about where we are in the categories. I think what we have to do is lap some of the one-time on-shelf availability things we've seen now. We've lapped pricing. And once we do that, we feel good about our ability. And I think you see that in the third quarter. In North America Retail, we grew market share in about 45% of our categories in the third quarter, which is a significant improvement from what we had seen the quarter before. And hopefully, as we lap some of these other factors, SNAP and on-shelf availability, we'll see continued improvement. Great. Thanks, Jeff. Okay. I think that's all the time we have before we wrap here. I think I'll pass it back to Jeff for some closing comments. Yeah. So well, thanks, everyone, for the time this morning. I guess I would start by saying we're encouraged by our third-quarter results, particularly improvement in competitiveness in our categories. We're competing effectively. And we thought that we would. And a lot of this is driven by lapping some pricing from a year ago and our ability to continue to execute well. We have innovated well. We have grown distribution. We have done. We're executing our plan well. As we look to the fourth quarter, I mean, there are some timing issues, as we talked about, with the timing of expenses. But broadly speaking, we would expect our third quarter in sales to kind of play out in the same magnitude that we saw in the third quarter. Our goal, really, now is to regain some top-line momentum as we continue to be very disciplined in the middle of our P&L. And we think that combination of factors will serve us well. We'll see how it plays out. There are a number of factors in the coming months, including this lapping of the SNAP benefit as well as on-shelf availability. And we'll be able to come to you in June with certainly a clear picture of what we expect in fiscal 2025 and what some of those benefits are that will lap over the coming couple of months. Great. So we'll wrap it there. Thanks, everyone, for the time this morning. Feel free to reach out if you've got follow-up questions throughout the day. Have a good day, everyone. Thanks. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
