Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining our Q2 earnings call.

The focus of today's call is on sharing color on our most recent quarter and also on providing an update on our efficiency program and then our product reinvestment strategy.

Over the past 12 months we've fixed a lot and hard work on improving the underlying fundamentals of our business.

Fixing structured inefficiencies, rebuilding cost discipline, and simplifying our operating model.

While we continue to be laser focused on that, we're now also starting to set our eyes toward a return to growth with some really exciting product launches and a comprehensive reinvestment strategy kicking off in H2.

Before I share more on that.
