Over the last year, challenging conditions such as the negative double digit inflation rate, unpredictable currency rates, and weak GDP growth have reaffirmed the importance of our remaining adaptable and focused in our pursuit of our strategic objectives. We focused on striking the appropriate balance between exploring new opportunities and expanding in areas where we already excel. I am glad to announce another year of strong performance in accordance with established expectations, resulting in the continuation of cash returns to shareholders. This performance illustrates our strategies success amid a difficult operating environment and challenging industry dynamics. We placed a premium on developing innovative products, investing in digital platforms, and guaranteeing brand loyalty through great service, all while prudently managing our cash resources.
