Our brands continue to represent only a small share of the overall addressable market, providing significant headroom for growth across geographies and customer segments. While external market conditions may influence demand patterns from time to time, our performance is fundamentally anchored in our ability to offer relevant and aspirational products, remain attuned to evolving customer preferences, and respond with agility. We believe this context positions the business well to continue to grow and deliver significant value to its stakeholders.
In our Star business, we continue to apply Trent’s playbook and the contribution of our own brands and products is now over 73% of revenues. Star’s operational performance trends reinforce our conviction in the business model and its growth potential. As we look ahead, we will continue to invest in expanding our footprint, with a focus on building scale and strengthening our position across select markets.”
