Selectively adding high-profile prestige and luxury brands to the portfolio through long-term licensing agreements and intellectual property acquisitions to capture market share in the premium beauty segment.

Implementing strategic price increases (6% to 7% in the US) and optimizing segment, channel, and brand mix to offset the impact of import tariffs on European-manufactured products.
