−Removed: Favorable volume/mix was reflected across all regions.
−Removed: The increase in input costs was driven by higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity.

+Added: Higher raw material costs were in part due to higher cocoa, sugar, nuts, and other ingredient costs, as well as unfavorable year-over-year currency exchange transaction costs on imported materials, partially offset by lower dairy, edible oils, grains, energy and packaging costs.
+Added: Overall, volume/mix was due to volume declines partially offset by favorable product mix.
