Thank you. So on behalf of the CAGNY Board, I want to thank Hershey for presenting at CAGNY again this year and for generously sponsoring what must be the best-attended break I've ever seen. Thank you very much, Hershey. Hershey is one of those companies at CAGNY that inspires love in the hearts of the shareholders who own the stock and fear in the hearts of anyone who is trying to go on a diet heading into the conference.
On the diet today are CEO, J.P. Bilbrey; CFO, Bert Alfonso; and Senior Growth Officer, Michele Buck; and Investor Relations Head, Mark Pogharian. J.P. Bilbrey joined Hershey 10 years ago. And in that time, he and his team have accelerated the company's top and bottom line growth rate by investing in advertising, expanding sales coverage, reducing manufacturing costs and creating a viable platform in emerging markets. Here to kick us off and talk about the 5-year plan to maintain this momentum is J.P. Bilbrey.
