Going forward, we have a singular focus: to meet the demand for our products and ensure consumers have the food and nourishment they need during these uncertain times.”\n\n\nQ1 2020 Financial Summary\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFor the Three Months Ended\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nYear-over-year Change\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMarch 28,\n\n\n2020\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMarch 30,\n\n\n2019\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nActual\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCurrency\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAcquisitions\n\n\nand\n\n\nDivestitures\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOrganic\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n(in millions, except per share data)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nNet sales\n\n\n\n$\n\n\n\n6,157\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n$\n\n\n\n5,959\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n3.3\n\n\n\n%\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n(1.1) pp\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n(1.8) pp\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n6.2\n\n\n\n%\n\n\n\n\n\nOperating income/(loss)\n\n\n\n770\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n562\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n37.1\n\n\n\n%\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nNet income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders\n\n\n\n378\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n405\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n(6.7)\n\n\n\n%\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDiluted EPS\n\n\n\n$\n\n\n\n0.31\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n$\n\n\n\n0.33\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n(6.1)\n\n\n\n%\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nAdjusted EBITDA(1)\n\n\n\n1,415\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n1,431\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n(...
