Bill Chappell: Got it. Yes, and then just a follow-up on Auto Care. Just kind of your expectations for the upcoming season, I mean, with the understanding of in the four, five years you’ve owned this business, it never seems to have been a normal year, either we’ve had weather or we’ve had COVID or we’ve had weather in COVID? And so just what is a normal, I mean, are you — do we expect a normal year? Do we expect easy comps? How are you looking at it this year?
Mark LaVigne: Well, from the overall year, we expect organic growth and then we’re going to expecting organic growth in both auto care and batteries, in which is built into the outlook that we provided. You’re right, every year plays out a little bit differently than the previous year and certainly that as expected. But when we go into the year, you followed us long enough to remember when there’s been a particularly bad weather year for A/C Pro. We modeled what we would consider to be sort of normalized demand. And so it’s not an extreme heat, it’s not extreme cold. So we moderate in terms of what the expectations are in that organic growth call, we do expect volumes to be down, but that’s consistent with batteries as you work our way through the fiscal year.
Pricing is really going to carry the day from an organic growth standpoint, volume is going to pick up as you progress through and by the time you get to sort of Q4, you’re going to be at flat volumes and then you’re going to move forward on kind of a normalized category basis from that point forward.
Bill Chappell: Got it. Thanks so much.
Mark LaVigne: Thanks, Bill.
John Drabik: Thanks, Bill.
Operator: The next question is from Jason English from Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.
Jason English: Hey, good morning, folks.
Mark LaVigne: Good morning, Jason.
John Drabik: Good morning.
Jason English: A couple of quick questions. First, I don’t understand this timing on holiday orders. Can you provide a little more detail on that?
Mark LaVigne: You recall, Jason, in Q4, we talked about we were going into the holiday season slightly elevated inventory levels. There was a pull forward of some orders into Q4 from Q1. We noted that on the previous call. That was at least part and that was a known item as we provided outlook, as we provided outlook for the low-single-digit declines in Q1. The incremental piece to that is related to retailers was the inventory destocking that went on as we got into December. They were separate in terms of what caused the impact on our P&L.
Jason English: Yes, yes. I got that. Okay. And then looking at your gross margin bridge, this is a lot of volume decline, yet you’re not calling it out as a drag on gross margin. Why are you not seeing more substantial deleverage there?
John Drabik: Look, I think we’re attacking costs across the board. So you see project momentum is really going after a lot of that. We have seen some impact, but we’ve — we had that also last year. So it’s flowed through into this year and I think we’re in a pretty good spot overall.
Jason English: Okay. And gents, it sounds like you’re looking for your categories to firm biometrically as the year progresses. Yet you came in highlighting now consumption level from both the value and volume perspective are still above pre-COVID levels. Why wouldn’t we expect a continued reset lower? In other words, why shouldn’t we expect volumes to remain a headwind for much longer than your guidance suggest?
