From all of us at HRG, Happy New Year. As you wrap up year-end close and head into 2026, we know you are juggling more than most people ever see—margin pressure, shifting retailer programs, and a growing list of deductions and chargebacks to sort through. We just want to say: we see the work behind the numbers, and it matters.

There is something about the last few weeks of the year that makes everyone want a reset. Sales is thinking about new distribution. Operations is thinking about capacity. Finance focuses on cash, margin, and how closely the numbers align with plan. And deductions?
