- **Modest Recovery Despite Challenges**: Q3 revenue growth reflects progress in North America, but consumer sentiment and inflation remain headwinds.

- **Emerging Markets Mixed**: Indonesia struggles with $300M sales impact, while Brazil, Mexico show 9.2% growth.
- **Spin-Off On Track**: No pivot in separation plan; both companies target investment-grade status with stable cash flow.
- **Q4 Challenges**: Inventory headwinds (~100-120bps) and soft demand expected to weigh on results.
- **Promotional Strategy**: Testing higher-frequency, lower-discount tactics; Q3 promotions focused on holiday season and new product trials.

**【CEO Opening Remarks】**
- Q3 revenue showed modest year-over-year recovery, driven by progress in North America despite challenging consumer sentiment and inflation.
- Updated 2025 outlook reflects slower-than-expected recovery in Taste Elevation and incremental inflation impacts.
- On track for separation into two independent companies by mid-2026, with focus on building long-term brand strength.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- Profit revision due to lower U.S. consumption expectations, slower Taste Elevation recovery (70% of revenue gaining market share), and incremental inflation in Meat and Coffee.
- Increased promotional spending by $300M and media investment by $80M in 2025, with Q3 results impacted by one-time supply chain issues.
- Maintaining cash flow discipline, with year-over-year cash flow growth despite EBITDA decline.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Consumer Sentiment & Spending**: CEO emphasizes long-term brand building over short-term marketing blitzes; Q3 back-to-school campaign drove success for Capri Sun, Lunchables, and Jell-O.
- **Emerging Markets**: Indonesia ($300M revenue) faces inventory and distribution challenges, but 9.2% growth in other Emerging Markets (e.g., Brazil, Mexico) offsets weakness.
- **Spin-Off Execution**: No pivot in separation plan; both companies expected to be investment-grade with net debt <4x. Global Taste Elevation Co. targets 2026 growth, North American Grocery Co. focuses on stable cash flow.
- **Q4 Guidance**: Inventory headwinds (~100-120bps) and soft consumer demand expected to weigh on results, with limited share gains offsetting industry decline.
- **Promotional Effectiveness**: Higher-frequency, lower-discount strategies being tested; Q3 promotions focused on holiday season and new product trials, with mixed ROI.
- **Commoditized Categories**: Brand Growth System being applied to Coffee, Meats, and Cheese, despite lower consumer engagement. Sliced Meats and Coffee face headwinds, but long-term focus on renovation and distribution improvements.
