"The Specialty Products Group (SPG) experienced a challenging fiscal year 2023 with difficult market conditions resulting in significant unit volume demand reductions. While navigating these headwinds, our teams worked together to increase their focus on manufacturing efficiencies, return on sales efforts and managing our SG&A, while also investing in our “big” ideas for growth. We had numerous bright spots, especially in our Mantrose-Haeuser Food Group and at Legend Brands, where we generated record annual sales. We are nearing completion of our Research, Development and Innovation Center of Excellence in Greensboro, North Carolina, and will be occupying the facility in early fiscal year 2024. Structural changes within our companies and continued focus on our growth investments have positioned us to generate improved performance as volume returns."
