Result drivers
Cost inflation & operating leverage - Productivity gains and tariff refunds were more than offset by cost of goods sold inflation and unfavorable operating leverage, leading to lower gross profit and margins
Higher SG&A expenses - SG&A rose due to restructuring charges, higher incentive compensation, and the 53rd week impact
Volume declines - Organic net sales were flat as a 1.6% positive price/mix was offset by a 1.6% decrease in volume
