Evidence of consumer acceptance is apparent in our 2014 financial performance. We reported record net sales of $3.4 billion, a 35 percent increase over 2013, and adjusted operating income of $304 million, up 45 percent from a year ago. We also continued to benefit from our increased scale, capital investments in the supply chain and rigorous expense management to significantly expand our operating margin and generate adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.00, a 36 percent gain from last year, excluding our investment in the China JV, which was equivalent to $0.05 of adjusted diluted EPS.

Our diverse portfolio of large-scale brands is not only growing substantially, but most of these brands are leaders in their categories. In North America, we hold the top market share in plant-based foods and beverages (Silk and So Delicious), premium dairy (Horizon), and organic greens and produce (Earthbound Farm), as well as the No. 2 position in coffee creamers and beverages (International Delight). We are also No. 1 in Europes plant-based foods and beverages category (Alpro and Provamel).
