Church & Dwight Co Inc at Consumer Analyst Group of New York Conference Transcript
All right. If everyone could take their seats, we're going to start the next presentation. So next up, we welcome the management team from Church & Dwight back to the CAGNY stage.
2018 proved to be yet another strong year for Church, with exciting innovation, solid execution and opportunistic re-investment driving yet another year of peer-leading top line growth. While gross margins did see some greater-than-expected pressure late in the year as a result of things like tariff headwinds and product mix, the company still expects to deliver another year of robust, high-single-digit earnings growth in 2019.
No strangers to the conference, obviously, today, we welcome back President and CEO, Matt Farrell; and CFO, Rick Dierker. But before I hand it off, I do want to make sure we all thank Church & Dwight for generously sponsoring tonight's dinner.
So with that, I'll hand it over to Matt.
Okay, thank you. Good morning, everybody.
