How to check this claim

Look at: Overhead (SG&A excluding non-working media/advertising) expense, fiscal 2026 vs fiscal 2025

It came true if: Overhead expense in 2026 approximately flat to 2025 level, adjusted for/excluding the incremental incentive plan cost being funded at 100% in 2026

Where: Company income statement / SG&A disclosure and management commentary on FY2026 earnings calls (10-K / Q4 call)

In context

ward, you will see a big step-up of that line into 2026, and we firmly believe that the virtuous cycle that has delivered great results for us will have to be put back in place in 2026, particularly as there is cocoa coming down and there is a cost favorability due to that. The second element is non-working media that has been managed in a declining mode for 2025 and that will continue into 2026. Obviously, we'll have to make some specific investments, but we expect the non-working media line to be kept in control. And the third element is the overhead. This year, specifically, there is a positive impact due to our incentive plan that is not as high as we had it last year. But importantly, as we go forward, I think the team is working on initiatives that will deliver further SG&A savings. And so we expect that line to be in level to 2025 in 2026, with the exception, obviously, of the incentive that will be planned at 100% for 2026. Thomas Palmer: Okay. And I apologize for asking again on Europe. But I do just want to clarify on elasticity because I think there's kind of two pieces you discussed. This 0.7 to 0.8, that's effectively like non-seasonal products where you're seeing that elasticity and the belief is that will not change for the quarter. But as you shift more to seasonal, you'll effectively see better volume trends because those items will have less elasticity? Dirk Van de Put: Yes. That's basically the correct assumption in the sense that the 0.7, 0.8, unless we start to do major movements, and what I said is we are adapting in certain areas, that means it's not an across the board sort of adjustment of our pricing. It's only in those specific cases where we think we need to bring it back to the right pri
