    1. Given that you have adjusted your net sales revenue guidance to down approximately 1% from low single-digit growth previously , how confident are you in your ability to achieve positive top-line growth in the coming year , especially considering the softer-than-anticipated U.S. industry performance during the peak summer selling season and the potential pressures on consumer spending?

    2. With the closure of your two underutilized U.S. regional craft breweries, Chippewa Falls and Tenth Street in Wisconsin, and shifting production to Milwaukee , can you elaborate on how this decision impacts your craft beer strategy and what steps you are taking to address the challenges in the U.S. above-premium segment ?

    3. You've increased your ownership stake in ZOA to 51% , despite its current small presence in scanner data and limited performance ; what gives you confidence that this investment will drive significant growth, and how do you plan to scale the brand in a highly competitive energy drink market ?

    4. You mentioned plans to onshore production of Peroni to improve supply consistency and introduce new pack sizes ; given the competitive and promotional environment in the import beer segment , what is your strategy to achieve significant growth for Peroni in the U.S. and how will you differentiate it from established European imports ?

    5. Considering that you are expecting annual net price increases of 1% to 2% in North America , and mix to be a meaningful growth driver as you aim to reach about one-third of global net brand revenue from above premium , how do you plan to balance pricing and premiumization efforts with potential impacts on volume, particularly in light of shifting consumer preferences and economic uncertainties ?
