Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not report specific historical revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt figures for the period. Instead, it provides forward-looking non-GAAP guidance targets:
- 2023 Constant Currency Net Sales Growth: 5%

Material Changes
There are no material changes to previously announced guidance. The company explicitly affirms its prior outlook for both the full year 2023 and the first quarter of 2023.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management continues to expect the previously stated growth rates. The filing notes that guidance is provided on a non-GAAP basis only. Reconciliations to GAAP measures are not provided for forward-looking statements due to the inability to predict the timing and amount of certain uncontrollable impacts, such as non-cash gains or losses from mark-to-market adjustments of derivative instruments. The report includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers, noting that actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties disclosed in the company's Form 10-K.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific Q1 2022 Adjusted diluted EPS figure to establish the baseline for the "approximately even" Q1 2023 expectation.
- Review the most recent Form 10-K for detailed risk factors and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP for historical periods.
- Monitor upcoming investor meetings for any updates on the drivers of the 5% constant currency sales growth target.
- Confirm the impact of foreign exchange rates on the "constant currency" calculation methodology.
