Overall 2026 sales and EPS guidance was maintained. Gross margin guidance was lowered due to raw material and packaging cost inflation. Management introduced an expanded SGPP savings target of $350-500M (potentially $550M), with $200-300M in annualized savings expected, the bulk realized in 2027-28.
