Deanna Brady: Yes, sure. Thanks, Rob. Just as we think about it, we knew this business was where it was when we acquired it. And again, we were interested in this business from the snacking perspective and really is a long-term ambition for us. So when we think about plant-based protein, entertaining, snacking and our ambitions for C-store, those still remain front and center. In the short term, we do have execution challenges, in particular, our base business, which is a top priority for the team. When I also look to Q1, that was when we cut over the inventory from the prior owner. So there is some noise there and some things that happened in the quarter as well as we inherited some distribution losses right out of the gate that the team has been working against.
And as we head into Q2, we’ll recover some of those important distribution points that will really help stabilize the base business. We’re really energized by the innovation. I was with our Planters R&D and marketing team earlier this week, and the pipeline of innovation that this team has in front of us for both the rest of ’23, ’24 and beyond is exceptional and really energizing in regards to where they see this business going. When we talk about innovation, you’ll also see innovation launch in this quarter, both in the core business as well as in our C-store business. You mentioned Super Bowl. We did have a really fun Super Bowl ad that was really centered on peanut because we do know that the consumers are thinking about the mix of nuts and snacking right now, and peanuts are really valuable item for them.
So reminding them of how much fun Planters peanuts can be as well as the protein they deliver and a great snacking option. We’ll see that. It wasn’t just a 30-second commercial. You’ll see activation both before the event, after the event and really leads us into the quarter as we activate some of the other seasonal launches later in the year. The other thing to think about is not only that this business was starved and we’ve been investing both from an advertising perspective, from an innovation standpoint, as I mentioned, and then also from a capacity standpoint. So for us to grow this business, we need to add capacity, which we’ve invested in, in regards to tube nuts for the C-store channel as well as the club channel, and we’ll see that come online here later this year and into next.
We also have work to do with the portfolio. Frankly, the assortment and price pack architecture. It’s a big portfolio, and we know there’s optimization that will allow us to unlock growth in really, again, just thinking about where we’re at with this business. We acquired the business. Last year, we integrated the business. And right now, we’re executing the business, and we know we’ve got work to do, but really confident in what I saw this week with the teams and where we’re headed into Q2 and the rest of the year.
Operator: The next question comes from Eric Larson, Seaport Research Partners.
Eric Larson: So just a couple of questions. Can you provide a little bit more detail again or just remind us kind of the cadence of turkey volumes. I think turkey volumes on a year-over-year basis still have a difficult comp in Q2. And then I believe you were expecting those to start rebounding in the second half. And then also do the same thing for us with your commodity pork volumes. You should be starting to anniversary; I think when you offloaded with the new contracts, some of that commodity volume. When do we sort of anniversary sort of the adverse comp that you would have on your commodity pork?
