We were cautious on market dynamics entering the third quarter and continued to take decisive price andcost actions. These efforts helped offset continued softness and increased volatility in the demandenvironment leading to a modest 2.5% decline in adjusted EBIT for the third quarter.

We are confident in the strength of our underlying business, customer value proposition and executioncapabilities. Our expectation that current market conditions will persist in the near-term means we are alsolaser focused on continued initiatives to recover inflation, drive cost productivity and advance previouslyannounced structural cost reductions. We have adjusted our fiscal 2023 outlook to reflect the challengingoperating environment and the actions we are taking give us confidence that earnings growth will build as we progress through fiscal 2024.

We remain focused on executing our strategy for long term value creation, which includes reinvesting in thebusiness for organic growth, pursuing acquisitions and/or regular share repurchases and returning cash toshareholders through a compelling and growing dividend.”
