Okay. Thanks, everyone. Thanks for joining. And I’m on Slide 5, ready to roll. So we’re excited to report net sales growth continued into Q1 despite the conflict in the Middle East. Our net sales were up 4.1% on a reported basis, up 0.4% on a constant currency basis Net sales growth across North America and Latin America improved sequentially relative to Q4. Europe remained positive, and Asia grew despite a challenging environment caused by the conflict in the Middle East.
