Analyst Bonnie Herzog asked: Hi. A question on your operating expenses, including both distribution and selling expenses, which stepped up on a per case basis in Q2. Just trying to understand if there was something unique in the quarter, maybe color on the drivers of the higher expenses. Ultimately, should we think about per case operating expenses in Q2 as a good run rate, or could this move lower moving forward? Management Hilton Schlosberg answered: The quarter was marked by increases in distribution expenses, largely freight and fuel. That's something we hope will come down. Right now we have to deal with that. Secondly, our 2026 marketing strategy was built to capture the evolving consumer. We expanded our communications to align with new lifestyles.管理层陈述
