We gained a lot in fiscal 2008. A lot of knowledge. A lot of perspective. And a lot of focus. During fiscal ’08, we focused our business on food, and food only. We sold our commodity trading and merchandising operations, at the right time and for the right price. That’s enabling us to devote our energy to our food business and to redeploy the capital we had invested in trading and merchandising to repurchase shares and reduce debt. In fiscal ’08, our food business grew more than 10 percent in net sales. Most years, we’d be pretty happy with that number. But due to high inflation, our input costs grew even more. Lessons learned in this tough economic climate made us more agile and sharpened our perspective on what it takes to drive sustainable, profitable growth at ConAgra Foods. In our fourth quarter, we began to see the payoff of better realized pricing for our Consumer Foods products. This progress is coupled with a strong year of cost-saving initiatives and excellent in-market traction on key product innovations. As a result, the momentum we gained in our fourth quarter is continuing. And throughout the year, there were many noteworthy accomplishments. We made important investments in our people, products and infrastructure. We bought four businesses that align closely with our growth platforms. Those strategic investments were made with the common goal of growing and sustaining profits. In fiscal ’07, we told you we expected an annual earnings growth rate of 8 to 10 percent for the fiscal 2008 to 2010 time frame, excluding items impacting comparability. Although we fell short of that objective for fiscal ’08, we are confident that our progress in fiscal 2009 will put us back on track. Let me tell you
