Linda, if you can health. category on the elaborate more

of the a have for achieve us fiscal you are you that can -- And to of deploying that? know I lot that, like -- wonder if you've, capabilities. through about growth of value the key I set related and organic you're help You you're done continue if union. to up wondering a go bit as state sales spoke some past, the how categories a consumers seeing RGM give ways seek X% the also to could if the that. 'XX you you in RGM X% if

Linda Rendle

Andrea. Sure,

we're general, is So what exactly been essential They're they category expected our them when to we on here's categories I in they're But The resilient. stressed given bit stressed. the consumer have that consumer what we be. but resilient, softer health in experienced the in pretty more piece, is say. which were times would a categories, and is where

categories behind pricing. they range, knew of typically off. obviously, would our the in did some roll So but grow We that don't mid-single-digit

But more just consumers focused. then we additional pressure have value as this are

So seen that Pricing consumers see it digits. we've pretty of that see single continue no holding we watching in seen resilient, bounce We is which categories value. signs be rounds those after the we're low right is pricing. and great for where panicked. multiple taking but to now We've looking marketplace, around, carefully, we're

on changes little categories. and here how there in are using seeing promotion You're retailers the

of they in more of special like holding But faithfully we that's by been bit are a adopted cats generally a investing great from called healthy that look, well-being category, say be a had. I have Litter our growth one and still capturing the growth but for still perspective is this. pets. are I as example as there there's If to a just out they're normally any would just accretive dynamics those still expect their categories in category Cat I and time would softer consumers COVID, us. up,

category value, I but growth would But every one higher So resilient. has again, the categories around we I similar a with dynamics with some lower. and would say see et say, cetera, opportunities pretty they're bit

I think a our usually get out-of-stock brand off people happens important people X.X up -- Private during was coming in we're at private squeezed private you trading seeing probably but back to our some point it's look thing what about the periods middle of during cover. come period in share label label, of another QX, if was again, which to is this premium and or seeing brands. what We're like label. the that's

are meaningfully So we way, to move stable. label pretty do private shares not any see consumers in

was that of promotional And I'd level seeing call anticipated pockets fiscal in still had Competition promotional try return certainly levels. think the Andrea higher It as slightly probably would pre-COVID we that well anticipate and driven pretty strategies. return to levels. out pre-Covid rational. Litter, new the is to assumption 'XX. 'XX QX, We're in last thing We rational actually competition as for partially categories holds by some we pretty and will the would but for that. and But Glad more retailers that, year We promotional competition like on, us, expect environment to that. generally that touch in

a execute So the against XX and that we that plans to for low brands what our just to place slowdown across is all categories we'll a would in us, rebound innovation in. anticipate in our advantage value, it. general, And they what good brands, that ensure months, the this temporary. think superior and our do take number, on see growth we categories again, for in feel the we we typically brands, best, ready about XX invest slight were mid, those will focused be and this and can more single-digit of be watch put we us to and is our We for us of are have, major strong which good have do we ensure last position of that

we've then capability it's relatively We've Glad too, we in that, That's for Andrea, just because by beyond. price over but And so example us. on so RGM, new for take capability how that, full is important and architecture deliver asked and and some a where now, the out we've done work and a that 'XX advantage see topline in of built contributor done a on contributor businesses, great to but the value margin some pack being I'll company touch you years, also we for 'XX both a beyond.
