Mark Cardin on recent calls
“So to start, I was wondering if you can walk through just a bit of why now is the right time to announce your comprehensive business review. Obviously, it comes right in the back of ACI Edge's announcement last quarter, and you talked about how some of your initiatives have been leading to increased complexity.”
“So to start, you walked through the competitive backdrop on the retail side of the business a bit earlier. Are you guys seeing any shift in competitive intensity on the distribution side of the business, just given the duration of some of the recent pressures that we've seen in grocery?”
“So how did headcount growth play out for your Salesforce in 2Q? Any shifts to how you're approaching this in the back half of the year? And then you talked about continued success in attracting talent to your Salesforce.”
“So I wanted to ask on your updated guidance what your underlying assumptions are for fuel costs for the back half of the year. Does it build in any underlying improvement on that front? how much of an impact could we see on cost structure there?”
“So to start, can you guys walk through any shifts you're seeing with respect to the health of the consumer? You called out some continued challenges on this front.”
