SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our Global Business Units (GBUs) are organized into four industry-based sectors, comprised of 1) Global Beauty, 2) Global Health and Grooming, 3) Global Fabric and Home Care and 4) Global Baby, Feminine and Family Care. The Company completed the divestiture of its Pet Care business during the current fiscal year. On November 13, 2014, the Company announced that it plans to divest the Batteries business via a transaction with Berkshire Hathaway. The Company expects to complete the Batteries transaction in the beginning of calendar year 2016, pending necessary regulatory approvals. These GBUs are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 13).

Under U.S. GAAP, the remaining GBUs underlying the four sectors are aggregated into five reportable segments: 1) Beauty, Hair and Personal Care, 2) Grooming, 3) Health Care, 4) Fabric Care and Home Care and 5) Baby, Feminine and Family Care. Our five reportable segments are comprised of:

• Beauty, Hair and Personal Care: Skin and Personal Care (Antiperspirant and Deodorant, Personal Cleansing, Skin Care); Cosmetics; Hair Care and Color; Prestige (SKII, Fragrances); Salon Professional;

• Grooming: Shave Care (Female Blades & Razors, Male Blades & Razors, Pre- and Post-Shave Products, Other Shave Care); Electronic Hair Removal;

• Health Care: Personal Health Care (Gastrointestinal, Rapid Diagnostics, Respiratory, Vitamins/Minerals/Supplements, Other Personal Health Care); Oral Care (Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Other Oral Care);

• Fabric Care and Home Care: Fabric Care (Laundry Additives, Fabric Enhancers, Laundry Detergents); Home Care (Air Care, Dish Care, Surface Care, P&G Professional); and

• Baby, Feminine and Family Care: Baby Care (Baby Wipes, Diapers and Pants); Feminine Care (Adult Incontinence, Feminine Care); Family Care (Paper Towels, Tissues, Toilet Paper).

The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in Note 1. Differences between these policies and U.S. GAAP primarily reflect income taxes, which are reflected in the segments using applicable blended statutory rates. Adjustments to arrive at our effective tax rate are included in Corporate.

Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities that are not reflected in the operating results used internally to measure and evaluate the businesses, as well as items to adjust management reporting principles to U.S. GAAP. Operating activities in Corporate include the results of incidental businesses managed at the corporate level. Operating elements also include certain employee benefit costs, the costs of certain restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization and other general Corporate items. The non-operating elements in Corporate primarily include interest expense, certain acquisition and divestiture gains and interest and investing income.

Total assets for the reportable segments include those assets managed by the reportable segment, primarily inventory, fixed assets and intangible assets. Other assets, primarily cash, accounts receivable, investment securities and goodwill, are included in Corporate.
