For results by segment and geographic locations see below Segment Results and Item 8. Note 2 and Note 21 .
During the first quarter of 2026, we have begun transitioning from a geographic segment reporting structure to a category-based segment view, enabling us to better align our financial disclosures and operational analysis with our product offerings and strategic priorities. The change is being made to stay in alignment with the way our chief operating decision maker intends to make future operating decisions, allocate resources and manage the growth and profitability of the Company. The anticipated change is not expected to have any impact on the Company's historical consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Current macroeconomic conditions remain dynamic, including impacts from inflation and interest rates, volatile changes in foreign currency exchange rates, tariffs and other trade restrictions, political unrest and uncertainty and legislative and regulatory changes. Any causes of market size contraction could reduce our sales or erode our operating margin and consequently reduce our net earnings and cash flows. As a result of these dynamic conditions and uncertainties, we have modified, and may further modify, our operations and strategic initiatives, including by adjusting our investment priorities, reallocating resources, or delaying specific initiatives, such as deferring capital expenditures on the Nutrition Network Optimization project, initiating an enterprise-wide operational enhancement program, and seeking further working capital improvements.
Continuing uncertainties arising from increased tariffs on imported products could have an adverse effect on our Company. In 2025, the U.S. government announced new or additional tariffs on products imported from many countries and individualized "reciprocal" tariffs on countries with which the U.S. has the largest trade deficits. While some tariffs have become effective, others have been temporarily suspended, increased then reduced or permanently repealed. The U.S. government has announced trade agreements with various governments as well as additional tariffs on countries due to geo-political issues. As a result, there continues to be significant volatility and uncertainty regarding the scope, timing, implementation and effective rates of tariffs.
