Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously disclosed, on June 5, 2025, Kimberly-Clark Corporation ("Kimberly-Clark" or the "Company") announced the entry into an agreement with Suzano S.A. ("Suzano") to form a joint venture to be comprised of substantially all the operations of the Company's former International Family Care and Professional ("IFP") segment (the "IFP Business"). At the time of closing, Suzano along with certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries will acquire a 51% interest in the joint venture for a purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments, and the Company will retain a 49% equity interest (the "IFP Transaction").
The Company determined the IFP Transaction represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on its operations and financial results. As a result, effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the results of the IFP Business are reported as discontinued operations in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
To assist investors in comparing the Company's historical results, the Company is providing supplemental historical financial results reflecting the IFP Business as discontinued operations in Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
