New Alvarez & Marsal Report on Tariff Impact Highlights the Imperative for Companies to Use Current Turmoil as License to Radically Improve Operations

Alvarez & Marsal Consumer and Retail Group

Apparent calm masks deeper volatility – inaction now is high risk Delay will show up in future quarterly reporting Quantify total tariff exposure and identify equivalent cost cutting opportunities This moment of crisis should not be wasted The Consumer and Retail Group of Global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M CRG) today released a special report, Tariffs & Turmoil – Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste, which urges retailers to take bold, immediate action as global trade policies shift and economic pressures mount. The report challenges companies to break free from “wait-and-see” or “wing it” paralysis and seize the current disruption as a strategic reset. “We are in a false moment of calm, but July 9th is right around the corner. While the latest quarterly results may not yet show the impact, companies that fail to act now will see tariffs hit hard in the quarters ahead,” said Joanna Rangarajan, Managing Director in Alvarez & Marsal’s Consumer and Retail Group and co-author of the study. “They should be looking to identify every opportunity to improve and fortify operations, as those who successfully came out of Covid did.” Co-author Michael Prendergast, Managing Director in Alvarez & Marsal’s Consumer and Retail Group, noted: “What we are seeing is a shell-shocked level of inactivity. Companies need to use this tariff crisis as an opportunity to do the hard work of getting their SG&A numbers down by 15 to 20 percent. Looking at pricing, reaching out to vendor bases and shifting country of origin are no longer enough. This is the perfect moment for management teams to refocus on optimizing their inventory, speeding up calendaring, and ultimately assessing their total cost of tariffs so that they can work toward an equivalent level of budgetary savings.” The report lays out nine areas in which retail companies should be focusing to navigate tariff twists and turns successfully, including: Relentlessly reduce costs across the entire organization Fuel innovation and growth initiatives that differentiate Double down on product winners that drive value Price intelligently to spark demand without sacrificing margin Adopt a fast fashion calendar mindset to increase agility Make decisions at lightning speed – favor action over perfection Reshape sourcing strategy for flexibility and long-term advantage Optimize supply chains for efficiency and responsiveness Establish a cross-functional command center with clear accountability To download a pdf of Tariffs & Turmoil – Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste, please visit: https://alvarezandmarsal-crg.com/insight/tariffs-turmoil-never-let-a-good-crisis-go-to-waste/ The Alvarez and Marsal Consumer and Retail Group (CRG) is a management consulting firm that tackles the most complex challenges and advances its clients, people, and communities towards their maximum potential.

Senator Dave Cortese and Mothers’ Milk Bank California Announce Senate Resolution 20 Designating May as First-Ever California Human Milk Donation Month

The Mothers' Milk Bank

Senator Dave Cortese (District 15) and Mothers’ Milk Bank California announce State Resolution 20 to mark the official designation of May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month to underscore the critical role of donor human milk in improving infant health outcomes and highlight the urgent need for increased access to this life-saving resource. A May 1 Senate floor session in Sacramento will announce this landmark resolution authored by Senators Dave Cortese and Senator Aisha Wahab with co-authors Senators Alvarado-Gil, Ashby, Blakespear, Caballero, Gonzalez, Hurtado, Limón, Pérez, Rubio, and Umberg. The designation of May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month coincides with the release of The State of Human Milk Banking in California: a comprehensive report that provides critical insights into milk donation trends and statistics, the growing demand for pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM), and the evolving landscape of infant nutrition in California. With a growing demand for donor milk across the state, this call for additional donors will help meet the growing need for donor breast milk and expand access to human milk’s life-saving benefits for every premature and medically fragile infant that needs it. "Demand for pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) has increased worldwide, for both medically fragile infants in the NICU and those that still need support after a NICU discharge. Mothers Milk Bank California distributes PDHM to 60% of NICUs in California and elsewhere and has seen a 30% increase in demand for PDHM in the last year. Designating May as the first-ever California Human Milk Donation Month is designed to raise awareness about the life-saving power of donor human milk," said Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, CEO of Mothers’ Milk Bank California. "Every ounce can save a baby’s life. Only 2% of eligible donors in California are donating breast milk and 1 in 11 babies is born preterm and may need this resource. Let’s help ensure everyone knows how to donate this liquid gold.” “All infants should have access to the benefits of breast milk, one of the most cost-effective ways to improve overall public health. The unique properties of breast milk make it incredibly powerful in preventing the onset of serious diseases like Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) which can be deadly to preterm babies," said Senator Dave Cortese. "Donor recruitment is critical. In California, up to 99% of very preterm or very low birthweight babies use PDHM in the NICU. Yet the current donor pool meets under 75% of the increased demand,” said Senator Dave Cortese of District 15. Preterm or premature infants are the priority population in need of donor human milk. There are many reasons that an infant’s mother’s milk may be unavailable, including absence of the birth mother, the mother having certain diseases that can be transmitted to the baby, the mother requiring medications that may make breastfeeding unsafe, premature birth requiring hospitalization of the infant in the NICU, and lactation difficulties. Prospective donors undergo medical screening to determine their eligibility and health status. Once approved, their donated milk is pasteurized to eliminate pathogens while preserving its nutritional value, and then sent to public health for testing, The pasteurized milk is distributed to hospitals and individuals in a safe and regulated manner. UC Health Milk Bank, AANHPI Lactation Collaborative, California Breastfeeding Coalition, California WIC Association, Community Bridges WIC, Denise Chapel Nutritional Services, Human Milk Connection, Nourishing Justly, Pretty Mama Breastfeeding LLC, Raíces y Cariño, Sacramento Breastfeeding Coalition, Santa Cruz County Breastfeeding Coalition, Solano County Breastfeeding Coalition and Watsonville Hospital will join the public awareness campaign to shine a light on how human milk saves lives.

Livestream the legislative session in Sacramento here: https://www.senate.ca.gov/calendar About Mothers’ Milk Bank California The oldest operating nonprofit milk bank in the U.S, Mothers’ Milk Bank California is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing lifesaving donor human milk to medically fragile infants.

About Senator Cortese Senator Dave Cortese was elected in November of 2020 to represent State Senate District 15 which encompasses much of Santa Clara County in the heart of Silicon Valley. Along with his accomplished career as an attorney and business owner, the Senator previously served on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors for over a decade, with four years as Board President, on the San Jose City Council for eight years, including two years as Vice Mayor, and as a trustee for the East Side Union High School District for eight years. ### Founded 50 years ago, Mothers' Milk Bank California is a leading nonprofit dedicated to providing screened, donated human milk to babies in need.

Introducing Saint Crewe, The New Clinically-Tested Skincare Brand For Gen Z Founded by Mom & Therapist to College-Aged Women, Erin Piper

Saint Crewe

Saint Crewe is a new dermatologist-tested, clinically backed skincare line designed specifically for Gen Z. Clinically tested on over 100 people, Saint Crewe is hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The brand’s four new products meet the clean beauty standards of Ulta, Sephora, and Credo while celebrating skincare as a fun, confidence-boosting ritual. As a mother of two and a therapist working with college-aged women, Saint Crewe Founder Erin Piper saw firsthand Gen Z’s growing curiosity about skincare and beauty trends. She realized that they were drawn to viral TikTok-famous products with bright, fun packaging, and the joy of experimenting with self-care. The issue? During the fun of applying face masks and creating skincare routines, the aggressive skincare ingredients were being overlooked. Many of these products contained harsh actives like retinol and glycolic acid – ingredients that weren’t suitable for their young skin. Saint Crewe Founder, Erin Piper, says, “As a mom and therapist to college-aged women, I’ve seen firsthand how much Gen Z loves experimenting with skincare. But there are too many trending products that cause more harm than good for young skin – damaged skin barriers, breakouts, irritation, you name it. That’s why I wanted to create a brand that is clinically effective, but still safe for everyday use. As a parent who has to say ‘no’ to so much – no to social media, to phones, to harmful ingredients, it feels really great to say ‘yes’ to skincare.” Erin sought out to create the ultimate solution to these concerns for the Gen Z community. She collaborated with leading labs, dermatologists, creatives, and beauty industry veterans – including the CEO of Saint Crewe, her long-time friend and skincare product development expert, Laura-Lucia Carothers – to develop a stunning range of vegan and cruelty-free skincare products that nurture this sense of curiosity while being expertly formulated to be gentle and safe for all skin types. Clean Beam Balmy Dream ($32): Lush cleansing balm formula that melts onto the skin as a foamy rinse-off cleanser that can remove sunscreen, makeup, and grime while bisabolol, ginger and calming turmeric soothes the skin. Team Gleam ($38): Daily water-gel serum that is loaded with superfruit goji berry and microalgae, helping balance the microbiome and fight against harmful blue light from screen time. Water Whip ($42): Light gel cream that delivers deep hydration and a natural glow with a boost of marine algae extract and vitamin E while soothing skin. Goji Go + Glow ($44): Packed with powerful aloe juice, microalgae and goji superberries to help keep breakouts at bay, this super mist balances excess oil while supporting your skin's microbiome. The brand’s name pays tribute to both a cherished family name and Sara Crewe, the beloved protagonist of A Little Princess. Saint Crewe isn’t just skincare, it’s innovation that redefines skincare for the next generation and anyone seeking a playful new way to care for their skin. Saint Crewe is redefining skincare for the next generation with fun, approachable, and age-appropriate formulas designed specifically for Gen Z. More than just skincare, Saint Crewe creates an experience, one that evolves with the brand’s community and becomes a playful part of their well-being. Built on the pillars of safety, individuality, integrity, well-being, and experience, Saint Crewe is committed to gentle formulations that nurture young skin with confidence and transparency. Trends fade. Skincare stays. With Saint Crewe, skincare isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling your best, inside and out. It will always be you.
