Reckitt is emerging much stronger, as a more resilient and purposeful company. We made significant progress in 2020 in building the foundations for future growth. We have added exceptional leadership talent at the top of Reckitt and across many of our geographies to help steer the company through this transformational stage. We are investing in capabilities and have organised ourselves to become more focused and purpose-led. Business performance Full year net revenue was £13,993m, with growth of +11.8% on a like-for-like basis. This was underpinned by strong performances from both Hygiene and Health; despite mixed markets, Nutrition also made good operational improvements while separating from Health and integrating Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements. The performance uplift reflected the outstanding way our teams responded to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), meeting the substantially increased demand for some of our brands through sharper execution, expanded capacity and better customer service. Together with our ongoing investment in our digital capabilities, this enabled us to deliver a stronger underlying performance across our portfolio of brands. Adjusted operating profit was £3,301m, at an adjusted operating margin of 23.6%, MOVING down 260bps on last year in line with our guidance and reflecting planned investment across many areas as laid out by Laxman in the strategy presentation in February 2020. Our business made solid progress on many fronts. It is an early indicator that the FORWARD strategy announced last February is gaining momentum and yielding positive results. We remain focused on delivering our strategy. Although it is too soon to be definitive, we believe that much of the additional demand we saw during 2020 for our Hygiene and Health TOGETHER brands is likely to be sustained even after the pandemic. We are accordingly investing in additional capacity and in expanding our Hygiene and disinfection business into new geographies and business segments. For our Nutrition business, we delivered good growth in North America and from our Vitamins, WITH PURPOSE Minerals and Supplements portfolio, although the operating environment in China continues to be challenging for our infant formula products. As a result, Laxman and the team are conducting a strategic review of our infant formula activities in China and we’ll act on the conclusions of this in due course. In the meantime, our focus is on sustaining the wider investments for growth that have already started to yield benefits with renewed innovation, such as our first adult nutrition product, launched in December. Governance and risk management have Chris Sinclair been important areas of focus for the Board Chairman over the last few years.
