How to check this claim

Look at: Full-year organic revenue growth and comparable EPS growth (the two components of the 'balanced algorithm')

It came true if: Organic revenue growth + comparable EPS growth combination approximating one of: 3%/2%, 2.5%/2.5%, or 2%/3% (i.e., combined total near 5%, with neither metric growth below 2%)

Where: Company full-year earnings release and 10-K (organic revenue growth and comparable EPS growth disclosures)

In context

e/mix, cycling 1 and 4 and -- 1 and 5 and so the name of the game for us this year, and we're going to be very consistent in talking about it, is to have a more balanced algorithm driven from the top line throughout the year. So starting out with the 3 and 2 is pretty close to where we expect us. In the first quarter, there were a couple of points of mix related to the north -- in the area of North America. Some category mix, which was a little stronger headwind-wise than we expected. We would not necessarily expect that to repeat going forward. And Henrique talked about Mexico and been at the revenue line, offset with strong performance in Brazil and Central America. But that too has a geographical mix feature there that accounts for maybe a slightly lower PMO than people were expecting. For the full year, our guidance -- and our guidance, we remain committed and we remain very much focused on delivering that balanced algorithm. And the outlook for the rest of the year, we're confident we can meet it. So 3, 2; 2.5, 2.5; 2, 3, we'll take any one of those.
