Risks and Catalysts on Watch

Operational matters to monitor include the execution of the projects, product plans or customer-channel initiatives identified in the results. Changes in consumer or customer demand, input costs, staffing requirements, currency exposure and the timing of investment spending can affect reported outcomes where relevant to the business. The company’s next formal trading update will provide additional information about performance after the reported period. The presentation does not establish a causal link between its earlier disclosures and the 27 October intraday share quotation.
