** Management reported strong full-year results, driven by double-digit net sales growth and healthy adjusted EBITDA margins. Growth was led by the Premier Protein brand across ready-to-drink shakes and powders.

The business generated solid operating cash flow, which supported significant share repurchases. * **Fiscal 2026 Guidance & Cadence:** The company projected continued net sales growth and healthy margins for FY2026.

Management noted that the first quarter faces challenging year-over-year comparisons (due to prior-year promotional timing and shipment shifts), with revenue and consumption expected to accelerate over the remainder of the fiscal year. Margins are expected to reflect near-term pressure from commodity inflation, tariffs, and increased marketing investment.

* **Strategic Initiatives:** Key focus areas include expanding distribution in mass, grocery, and e-commerce channels, elevating advertising spend, and introducing new product innovations. * **Analyst Q&A Discussion:** * *Competitive Landscape:* Management addressed the influx of insurgent brands, noting that while smaller brands add category buzz, leading brands maintain strong repeat purchase rates and supply chain advantages.

* *Channel Dynamics:* Executives discussed shelf resets in club and retail channels, explaining that higher-traffic placements and expanded merchandising support longer-term category growth. * *Pricing and Promotion:* Management detailed price increases taken on powders to offset input cost pressures, along with targeted promotional support to drive trial.

* *Capital Allocation:* Priorities remain focused on reinvesting in organic growth and opportunistically repurchasing shares. Would you like more detail on any specific financial metrics, guidance assumptions, or topics discussed during the Q&A?
