We reported a decline in net sales as anticipated, primarily reflecting the Green Giant divestiture and continued foreign exchange headwinds. Constant-currency segment operating profit was down modestly, as our cost savings efforts more than offset the impact of the Green Giant sale. Our disciplined financial management has enabled us to expand our adjusted operating profit margin for the fifth consecutive quarter while still investing in Consumer First renovation and innovation news."
