“We believe we had a great start of the year. We will continue to be balanced. We'll have confidence that we're going to deliver on the updated guidance to the year, and we'll continue to play on our RGM capabilities.”

In context

“2 like we have here in the quarter or it's going to be 2 to 3 a variable during the different quarters, we're going to see it. But we're managing all the levers to continue to deliver that. Pricing is embedded into this equation as well. We are going where the consumer is, right? The affordability to continue to be part of the revenue growth management architecture that we have not only in the U.S. but in different parts of the world as well. The consumers that have pressure today at the low-income consumers, and we really dial up our affordability options to get closer to them. In North America, for instance, we went into bringing options not only on the single serve, but on the mood serve enter packs and helped us to continue to keep them in the franchise. So in a nutshell, what we are. We believe we had a great start of the year. We will continue to be balanced. We'll have confidence that we're going to deliver on the updated guidance to the year, and we'll continue to play on our RGM capabilities. Operator: Our next question comes from Steve Powers from Deutsche Bank. Stephen Robert Powers: Great. I wanted to give a little bit to cost, if I could. John, you mentioned that you were fairly well positioned despite the broader inflationary backdrop as you think about the year. But you also acknowledge that could change. And I guess, as I think about the system broadly, I'd expect some of the pressures that we're all thinking about to be building a bit more acutely on your borrowing partners already. So perhaps can you talk about how you're working with those bottling partners to address the burgeoning headwinds together and how the system overall is positioning to navigate what is likely going to be a net higher cost environment as you look through this year and potentially into next?”
