 ADJUSTS ALL-IN SALES OUTLOOK FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE; MAINTAINS GUIDANCE FOR
ORGANIC SALES, EARNINGS, ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW PRODUCTIVITY

CINCINNATI, April 17, 2020 - The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) reported third quarter fiscal year 2020 net sales of $17.2 billion, an increase of five percent versus the prior year. Excluding the net impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, organic sales increased six percent. Diluted net earnings per share were $1.12, an eight percent increase versus the prior year. Core earnings per share increased 10% to $1.17. Currency-neutral core EPS increased 15% versus the prior year.

Operating cash flow was $4.1 billion for the quarter. Free cash flow productivity was 113%. The Company returned $2.8 billion of cash to shareholders through $1.9 billion in dividend payments and $900 million of common stock repurchases in the third quarter. Over the last 10 years, P&G has returned over $120 billion to shareholders in cash dividends and stock repurchase. Earlier this week, P&G announced a 6% increase in the quarterly dividend, marking the 64th consecutive year the Company has increased its dividend. P&G has been paying a dividend for 130 consecutive years, since its incorporation in 1890.

“The strong results we delivered this quarter are a direct reflection of the integral role our products play in meeting the daily health, hygiene and cleaning needs of consumers around the world,” said David Taylor, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our organization has been doing a terrific job against our near-term priorities – protecting the health and safety of each other, maximizing availability of P&G products to meet heightened consumer need and helping society meet and overcome the challenges of this crisis.”



January - March Quarter Discussion
Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 were $17.2 billion, up five percent versus the prior year. Unfavorable foreign exchange negatively impacted sales by two percentage points for the quarter. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, organic sales increased six percent driven primarily by an increase in organic shipment volume. Organic shipment volume increased six percent as strong consumer demand in North America and certain European markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic was partially offset by volume decreases in certain Asian markets due primarily to temporary disruption of consumer access to retail markets related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased pricing contributed one percent to net sales. Mix was neutral to net sales growth.

(2)Other includes the sales mix impact from acquisitions and divestitures and rounding impacts necessary to reconcile volume to net sales.
Beauty segment organic sales increased one percent versus year ago. Skin and Personal Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by innovation, increased pricing and increased marketing spending, partially offset by negative product mix, due to the double digits decline of the super-premium SK-II brand caused by the temporary disruption of retail markets across Asia and a sharp reduction in travel retail sales. Hair Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by innovation related price increases, partially offset by double digit volume decreases in China due primarily to the temporary disruption of retail markets.
Grooming segment organic sales decreased one percent versus year ago. Shave Care organic sales decreased low single digits driven by negative mix due to the disproportionate decline in North America which has higher than segment average selling prices, partially offset by devaluation-driven price increases. Appliances organic sales increased high single digits primarily due to positive mix from the disproportionate growth of premium products.



Health Care segment organic sales increased nine percent. Oral Care organic sales increased mid-single digits primarily due to innovation, market growth, increased pricing and positive mix driven by the disproportionate growth of premium products, partially offset by reduced volumes in China primarily due to the temporary disruption of retail markets. Personal Health Care organic sales increased high teens primarily due to innovation, increased consumer demand, increased marketing spending, increased pricing and positive mix due to the disproportionate growth of the North America region which has higher than segment average selling prices.
Fabric and Home Care segment organic sales increased 10% for the quarter. Fabric Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by innovation, market growth, increased consumer demand in North America and Europe and positive mix due to the disproportionate growth of premium products. Home Care organic sales increased mid-teens driven by innovation, increased demand in North America and Europe and positive mix due to the disproportionate growth of premium products.
Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales increased seven percent versus year ago. Baby Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by increased demand in certain markets and positive mix due to the disproportionate growth of premium products, partially offset by reduced volumes in China primarily due to the temporary disruption of retail markets. Feminine Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by innovation, increased marketing spending, increased pricing and positive product mix due to the disproportionate growth of premium products. Family Care organic sales increased double digits driven by a sharp increase in consumer demand, partially offset by unfavorable mix due to the disproportionate growth of large sizes and club channels.

Diluted net earnings per share were $1.12, an eight percent increase versus the prior year, driven primarily by the increase in net sales and an increase in operating margin. Core earnings per share were $1.17, a 10% increase versus the prior year, due to higher non-core restructuring charges versus the prior year. Currency-neutral core earnings per share increased 15% for the quarter.




Reported gross margin increased 60 basis points, including a 60 basis-point hurt from higher non-core restructuring charges versus the prior year. Core gross margin increased 120 basis points versus the prior year, including 10 basis points of negative foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core gross margin increased 130 basis points driven by 170 basis points of gross productivity savings, 100 basis points from commodity cost decreases and 40 basis points of pricing benefit, partially offset by 180 basis points of unfavorable product mix and other impacts.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of sales increased 10 basis points on a reported basis versus the prior year, including a 10 basis-point help from a year-on-year reduction in non-core restructuring charges. Core SG&A as a percentage of sales increased 20 basis points versus the prior year, including approximately 70 basis points of negative foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased 50 basis points as 180 basis points of sales leverage benefit and 70 basis points of savings from overhead and marketing expenses were partially offset by 190 basis points of increased marketing investments and 10 basis points of inflation and other impacts.

Operating profit margin increased 50 basis points versus the base period on a reported basis, including 50 basis points hurt from higher non-core restructuring charges. Core operating margin increased 100 basis points including approximately 80 basis points of negative foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core operating margin increased 180 basis points including total productivity cost savings of 240 basis points.

Fiscal Year 2020 Guidance
The Company adjusted its outlook for fiscal 2020 all-in sales growth, from a range of four to five percent growth to a range of three to four percent growth versus the prior year, to reflect stronger headwinds from foreign exchange. The revised growth estimate includes a negative two percentage point impact from foreign exchange, partially offset by a modest positive impact from acquisitions and divestitures. The Company maintained its guidance for organic sales growth in the range of four to five percent.




The Company maintained its guidance range for fiscal 2020 all-in GAAP diluted net earnings per share growth at 235% to 245%, noting that the comparison period is significantly depressed by the Gillette Shave Care impairment charges in fiscal 2019. P&G also maintained its fiscal 2020 guidance for core earnings per share growth at the range of eight to eleven percent growth versus fiscal 2019.

The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP cash flow measure without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict the timing and amounts of discrete cash items, such as acquisitions, divestitures, or impairments, which could significantly impact GAAP results. The Company maintained its estimate for fiscal 2020 adjusted free cash flow productivity at 100%.

The Company expects to pay over $7.5 billion in dividends and repurchase $7 billion to $8 billion of common shares in fiscal 2020.

The Procter & Gamble Company
Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Measures
The following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in Procter & Gamble's April 17, 2020 earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. We believe that these measures provide useful perspective on underlying business results and trends (i.e., trends excluding non-recurring or unusual items) and provide a supplemental measure of year-on-year results. The non-GAAP measures described below are used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. These measures may be useful to investors as they provide supplemental information about business performance and provide investors a view of our business results through the eyes of management. These measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered by the user in place of the related GAAP measure, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items or events being adjusted.
The Core earnings measures included in the following reconciliation tables refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for the following item:
Incremental Restructuring: The Company has had and continues to have an ongoing level of restructuring activities. Such activities have resulted in ongoing annual restructuring related charges of approximately $250 - $500 million before tax. In 2012, the Company began a $10 billion strategic productivity and cost savings initiative that included incremental restructuring activities. In 2017, we communicated details of an additional multi-year productivity and cost savings plan. This results in incremental restructuring charges to accelerate productivity efforts and cost savings. The adjustment to Core earnings includes only the restructuring costs above what we believe are the normal recurring level of restructuring costs.
We do not view the above item to be part of our sustainable results and its exclusion from Core earnings measures provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year results. This item is also excluded when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation.
Organic sales growth: Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by



providing sales growth on a consistent basis. This measure is used in assessing achievement of management goals for at-risk compensation.
Core operating profit margin: Core operating profit margin is a measure of the Company's operating margin adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Core gross margin: Core gross margin is a measure of the Company's gross margin adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Core selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a percentage of net sales: Core SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales is a measure of the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Core EPS and currency-neutral Core EPS: Core earnings per share, or Core EPS, is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share adjusted as indicated. Currency-neutral Core EPS is a measure of the Company's Core EPS excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management views these non-GAAP measures as useful supplemental measures of Company performance over time. These measures are also used when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation.
Free cash flow: Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. Free cash flow represents the cash that the Company is able to generate after taking into account planned maintenance and asset expansion. Management views free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor used in determining the amount of cash available for dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions and other discretionary investments.
Free cash flow productivity: Free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. Management views free cash flow productivity as a useful measure to help investors understand P&G’s ability to generate cash. Free cash flow productivity is used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for budget planning purposes. This measure is also used in assessing the achievement of management goals for at-risk compensation. The Company's long-term target is to generate annual free cash flow productivity at or above 90 percent.
