COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY
 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in Millions Except Share and Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in management’s opinion, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods. Results of operations for interim periods may not be representative of results to be expected for a full year. Colgate-Palmolive Company (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Colgate”) reclassifies certain prior year amounts, as applicable, to conform to the current year presentation.

For a complete set of financial statement notes, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

2.     Use of Estimates

Provisions for certain expenses, including income taxes, advertising and consumer promotion, are based on full year assumptions and are included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in proportion with estimated annual tax rates, the passage of time or estimated annual sales, as applicable.

3.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-04, “Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations.” This ASU requires a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to make annual disclosures about the programs’ key terms, the balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the confirmed amount outstanding at the end of the period and associated rollforward information. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward, which is effective beginning on January 1, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments also require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method.” This ASU clarifies the accounting and promotes consistency in reporting for hedges where the portfolio layer method is applied. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832).” This ASU requires increased disclosure on an annual basis about transactions with domestic, foreign, local, regional and national governments, including entities related to those governments and intergovernmental organizations, that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2022 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY
 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(Dollars in Millions Except Share and Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)


In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” which clarified that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition due to reference rate reform. These ASUs were effective upon issuance and can be applied prospectively for contract modifications and hedging relationships through December 31, 2022. The guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. Acquisitions

Red Collar Pet Foods

On September 30, 2022, the Company acquired a business, which operates three dry pet food manufacturing plants in the United States, from Red Collar Pet Foods Holdings, Inc. and Red Collar Pet Foods Holdings, L.P. (collectively, “Red Collar Pet Foods”) for cash consideration of $727 in order to further support the global growth of its Hill’s Pet Nutrition business. The acquisition was financed with a combination of debt and cash and accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805.

The total purchase price of $727 has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on their respective estimated fair values as follows:

Inventories$29 
Property, plant and equipment372 
Goodwill407 
Current liabilities(3)
Intangible liability(16)
Deferred income taxes(62)
Fair value of net assets acquired$727 
Goodwill of $407 was allocated to the Pet Nutrition segment. Goodwill will not be deductible for tax purposes.
The preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to revisions, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values discussed above. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation no later than third quarter of 2023.
Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is not material.

Nutriamo S.r.l.

On April 28, 2022, the Company acquired the manufacturing assets of Nutriamo S.r.l. (“Nutriamo”), a canned pet food manufacturer based in Italy, which gives the Company additional capacity for the Hill’s wet pet nutrition diets, particularly in Europe. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The impact of this acquisition on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements was not material.

5.    Restructuring and Related Implementation Charges
    
On January 27, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a targeted productivity program (the “2022 Global Productivity Initiative”). The program is intended to reallocate resources towards the Company’s strategic priorities and faster growth businesses, drive efficiencies in the Company’s operations and streamline the Company’s supply chain to reduce structural costs.

Implementation of the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative, which is now expected to be substantially completed by mid-year 2024, is still estimated to result in cumulative pretax charges, once all phases are approved and implemented, in the range of $200 to $240 ($170 to $200 aftertax), which is currently estimated to be comprised of the following: employee-related costs, including severance, pension and other termination benefits (75%); asset-related costs, primarily accelerated depreciation and asset write-downs (15%); and other charges (10%), which include contract termination costs, consisting primarily of implementation-related charges resulting directly from exit activities and the implementation of new strategies. It is estimated that approximately 80% to 90% of the charges will result in cash expenditures.

It is expected that the cumulative pretax charges, once all projects are approved and implemented, will relate to initiatives undertaken in North America (5%), Latin America (10%), Europe (45%), Asia Pacific (5%), Africa/Eurasia (15%), Hill’s Pet Nutrition (5%) and Corporate (15%).

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, charges resulting from the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative were $2 pretax ($2 aftertax).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, charges resulting from the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative are reflected in the income statement as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2022
Selling, general and administrative expenses4 
Other (income) expense, net75 
Non-service related postretirement costs13 
Total 2022 Global Productivity Initiative charges, pretax$92 
Total 2022 Global Productivity Initiative charges, aftertax$72 

Restructuring and related implementation charges in the preceding table are recorded in the Corporate segment as these initiatives are predominantly centrally directed and controlled and are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance. Total charges incurred for the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative relate to initiatives undertaken by the following reportable operating segments:

Employee-Related Costs primarily include severance and other termination benefits and are calculated based on long-standing benefit practices, written severance policies, local statutory requirements and, in certain cases, voluntary termination arrangements. Employee-Related Costs also include pension enhancements of $13 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which are reflected as Charges against assets within Employee-Related Costs in the preceding tables as the corresponding balance sheet amounts are reflected as a reduction of pension assets or an increase in pension liabilities.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed independently for each quarter and any year-to-date period presented. As a result of changes in the number of shares outstanding during the year and rounding, the sum of the quarters’ earnings per share may not necessarily equal the earnings per share for any year-to-date period.
