    1. With the Baby Care segment experiencing sustained pressure over multiple quarters, partly due to declining birth rates in key markets like China and the U.S., how do you plan to drive growth in this segment, and can you elaborate on the specific innovations and strategies that will counteract these demographic challenges?

    2. Given the significant decline in organic sales in Greater China by 15%, particularly impacting the SK-II brand in the Beauty segment, what concrete steps are you taking to stabilize and revive performance in this critical market, and how confident are you in the timelines for returning to growth?

    3. As pricing becomes less of a tailwind and you anticipate lower market growth rates in the U.S. from 5%-6% down to 3%-4%, how will you sustain market share gains and drive category growth in a moderating pricing environment, especially when faced with increasing competition and changing consumer behaviors?

    4. The Family Care business has benefited from innovation in substrate and roll sizes, but with 11 consecutive quarters of growth, how sustainable are these growth rates going forward, especially as pricing benefits wane, and what are you doing to ensure continued category growth and market share gains?

    5. Despite stating that the promotional environment and private label competition remain stable, are you concerned about potential shifts in consumer behavior towards trading down or increased promotional pressures in the face of economic uncertainty, and how are you preparing to address these risks to protect your margins and market share?
