SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of The Clorox Company and its controlled subsidiaries (the Company or Clorox) for the periods presented. However, the financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or for any other future period. Percentage and basis point calculations are based on rounded numbers, except for per share data and the effective tax rate.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted or condensed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, which includes a complete set of footnote disclosures, including the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06)”, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software to current development practices, clarifies when to begin capitalizing costs and enhances disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” These amendments primarily require enhanced quantitative and qualitative disclosures in the notes to the financial statements for specific expense categories underlying the expenses presented on the income statement. These amendments are to be applied prospectively to financial statements issued after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” These amendments primarily require enhanced disclosures and disaggregation of income tax information by jurisdiction in the annual income tax reconciliation and quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding income taxes paid. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” These amendments primarily require enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss on an annual and interim basis. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. These amendments are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements and are effective for the annual period beginning July 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning July 1, 2025. The Company adopted the annual requirement for fiscal year 2025 and interim requirements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
