There can be no assurance that these future events will occur as anticipated or that our results will be as estimated. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update them.

The assumptions used as a basis for the forward-looking statements include many estimates that, among other things, depend on the successful integration of Kenvue and the achievement of future cost savings and projected volume increases. In addition, many factors outside our control could affect the realization of these estimates. These include risks and uncertainties related to the Kenvue Acquisition and the integration of Kenvue’s business, including the risk that the anticipated benefits, synergies and cost savings of the Kenvue Acquisition may not be realized when expected or at all, the risk that integration costs may be higher than expected, the risk that we are not able to realize the anticipated benefits of the Kenvue Integration Program, risks related to the preliminary nature of the estimate of the charges and capital expenditures to be incurred in connection with the Kenvue Integration Program, which is subject to change, risks related to any delays in the timing for implementing the Kenvue Integration Program or potential disruptions to our business or operations as we execute on the Kenvue Integration Program,
