“Our first-quarter performance was positively impacted by exceptional results in our U.S. Lighter business.
Rocketbook, our digital writing business,doubled its sales vs the same period last year, with strong results across all online channels. In Shavers, we were able to grow in added-value products and in e-commerce amidst underlying weak market trends. While we continue to effectively navigate through a challenging trading environment, we remain cautious for the balance of the year due to uncertainties related to the pandemic, particularly in Latin America and India. With our Horizon plan serving as our North Star, I am encouraged by the direction that we are taking and the capabilities we are building throughout our organization that will drive accelerated profitable growth."
