Management Commentary
Peter Konieczny, CEO
“We delivered solid operating results this quarter, with broad-based organic volume growth of 1%, led by 3% volume growth in the focus categories. Synergy realization was in line with expectations, and we are on track to achieve our three-year $650 million target. Energy and distribution costs accelerated late in the quarter, which is creating a headwind in the transition period. Actions to address these inflationary pressures are underway, and we do not expect these higher costs to impact 2027 results. Building on our broad-based momentum, we are focused on driving long-term sustainable volume growth, and we remain confident in delivering on our medium and long-term financial commitments.”
