We believe our Company’s financial health and competitiveness are intertwined with the health of local, national and global communities, and with the imperative of supporting a sustainable environment. Recognizing and leveraging this interdependence is a powerful means of creating progress for all stakeholders.” Financially, the pivot to “invest for growth” in plant protein Now with two signifcant platforms, one focused on proftable was a conscious choice to sacrifce short-term proftability in growth in meat protein and one focused on investing for favour of seizing on the opportunities we see in this category revenue growth in plant protein, we began reporting our over time, together with our unique position to take results by segment. We believe segmented reporting provides advantage of those opportunities.

On a total company basis, we delivered an 8.1% Adjusted EBITDA margin for the year. However, we believe this is a less relevant fnancial metric today, given the increasing investment and strategy pivot in plant protein. The world of protein production and consumption faces a revolution, and one we are uniquely positioned to lead and leverage. While in some corners, meat production faces attacks for its environmental footprint, we see this as an opportunity to embrace change.
