P&G ANNOUNCES FISCAL YEAR 2025 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS |
| Net Sales -2%; Organic Sales +1% |
| Diluted EPS and Core EPS $1.54, each +1% |
| UPDATES FISCAL YEAR SALES and EPS GUIDANCE |
| MAINTAINS CASH RETURN GUIDANCE |
CINCINNATI, April 24, 2025 - The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) reported third quarter fiscal year 2025 net sales of $19.8 billion, a decrease of two percent versus the prior year. Organic sales, which excludes the impacts of foreign exchange and acquisitions and divestitures, increased one percent versus the prior year. Diluted and core net earnings per share were $1.54, each an increase of 1% versus prior year.
Operating cash flow was $3.7 billion, and net earnings were $3.8 billion for the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 75%. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is calculated as operating cash flow less capital spending, as a percentage of net earnings. The Company returned $3.8 billion of cash to shareowners via $2.4 billion of dividend payments and $1.4 billion of share repurchases. The dividend increase announced earlier this month marks the 69th consecutive year that P&G has increased its dividend and the 135th consecutive year that P&G has paid a dividend since its incorporation in 1890.

“We delivered modest organic sales and EPS growth this quarter in a challenging and volatile consumer and geopolitical environment,” said Jon Moeller, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re making appropriate adjustments to our near-term outlook to reflect underlying market conditions while remaining confident in the longer-term growth prospects for our brands and the markets where we compete. We remain committed to our integrated growth strategy of a focused product portfolio of daily use categories where performance drives brand choice, superiority — across product performance, packaging, brand communication, retail execution and consumer and customer value — productivity, constructive disruption and an agile and accountable organization. We’re maintaining investments in superior innovation across price tiers to improve value for consumers and drive category growth.”
January - March Quarter Discussion
Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 were $19.8 billion, a two percent decrease versus the prior year. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of foreign exchange and acquisitions and divestitures, increased one percent driven by higher pricing. Mix and organic volume had a neutral impact on sales for the quarter.

•Beauty segment organic sales increased two percent versus year ago. Hair Care organic sales was unchanged as increased pricing in Latin America and North America and favorable premium product mix were offset by volume declines primarily in Greater China. Personal Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by innovation-driven volume growth, partially offset by negative impacts from geographic mix. Skin Care organic sales declined low single digits due to volume declines and unfavorable geographic mix, partially offset by increased pricing primarily in Greater China.
•Grooming segment organic sales increased three percent versus year ago behind volume growth and higher pricing primarily in Latin America, Europe and North America.
•Health Care segment organic sales increased four percent versus year ago. Oral Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by product mix from premium innovation, partially offset by volume declines. Personal Health Care organic sales increased high single digits due to volume growth and increased pricing, primarily in Latin America and Europe.
•Fabric and Home Care segment organic sales were unchanged versus year ago. Fabric Care organic sales were unchanged. Home Care organic sales decreased low single digits driven by volume declines, partially offset by favorable premium product mix.
•Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales decreased one percent versus year ago. Baby Care organic sales decreased low single digits due to volume declines, partially offset by favorable geographic and product mix. Feminine Care organic sales were unchanged as favorable geographic mix was offset by volume declines. Family Care organic sales decreased low single digits driven by volume declines, unfavorable product mix and merchandising investments.
Diluted and core net earnings per share each increased by 1% to $1.54. Currency-neutral core EPS was up 3% versus the prior year core EPS.
Reported gross margin for the quarter decreased 20 basis points versus the prior year. Core gross margin for the quarter decreased 30 basis points versus the prior year and on a currency-neutral basis decreased 10 basis points. Benefits from gross productivity savings of 160 basis points and increased pricing of 30 basis points were more than fully offset by 120 basis points of unfavorable mix, 40 basis points of product reinvestments, 30 basis points of unfavorable commodity costs and 10 basis points of rounding and other items.
Reported and core selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of sales declined 120 basis points versus year ago and declined 100 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. The decline was driven by 120 basis points of productivity savings, which includes adjustments to expected variable compensation payouts, partially offset by 20 basis points of reinvestments and other items.
Reported and core operating margin for the quarter increased 90 basis points versus the prior year and increased 100 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. Core operating margin included gross productivity savings of 280 basis points.
Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance
P&G now expects all-in sales for fiscal 2025 to be approximately in-line with the prior year and organic sales growth of approximately two percent versus the prior year.
The Company updated fiscal 2025 diluted net earnings per share growth guidance to be in the range of 6% to 8% versus fiscal 2024 diluted net EPS of $6.02. P&G now expects fiscal 2025 core earnings per share growth to be in the range of $6.72 to $6.82 per share, which equates to two to four percent growth versus fiscal 2024 core EPS of $6.59.
P&G continues to expect a commodity cost headwind of approximately $200 million after tax for fiscal 2025. The Company now expects unfavorable foreign exchange rates will be a headwind of approximately $200 million after tax. Collectively these impacts are a headwind of $0.16 per share.
The Company is guiding for a modest headwind from net interest income and expense in fiscal year 2025. In addition, the prior fiscal year included benefits from minor brand divestitures that are unlikely to repeat to the same extent in fiscal year 2025. Combined, these are roughly a $0.04 headwind to core EPS.
The Company is unable to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP cash flow and tax rate measures without unreasonable efforts given the unpredictability of the timing and amounts of discrete items, such as acquisitions, divestitures, or impairments, which could significantly impact GAAP results.
P&G now expects a core effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 approximately in-line with the prior year.
Capital spending is estimated to be in the range of four to five percent of fiscal 2025 net sales.
P&G continues to expect adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90% and expects to pay around $10 billion in dividends and to repurchase $6 to $7 billion of common shares in fiscal 2025.

The Procter & Gamble Company
Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Measures
The following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in Procter & Gamble's April 24, 2025 earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measures. We believe that these measures provide useful perspective on underlying business trends (i.e., trends excluding non-recurring or unusual items) and results and provide a supplemental measure of period-to-period 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. Certain of 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 measures 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 Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP cash flow and tax rate measures because the Company cannot predict the timing and amounts of discrete items such as acquisition and divestitures, which could significantly impact GAAP results. Note that certain columns and rows may not add due to rounding.
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 historically had an ongoing level of restructuring activities of approximately $250 - $500 million before tax. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company started a limited market portfolio restructuring of its business operations, primarily in certain Enterprise Markets, including Argentina and Nigeria, to address challenging macroeconomic and fiscal conditions. During the period ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed this limited market portfolio restructuring with the substantial liquidation of its operations in Argentina. The adjustment to Core earnings includes the restructuring charges that exceed the normal, recurring level of restructuring charges.
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 the achievement of management goals for at-risk compensation.
Core EPS and Currency-neutral Core EPS: Core earnings per share, or Core EPS, is a measure of diluted net earnings per common share (diluted EPS) adjusted for items 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.
Core gross margin and Currency-neutral Core gross margin: Core gross margin is a measure of the Company's gross margin adjusted for items as indicated. Currency-neutral Core gross margin is a measure of the Company's Core gross margin excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Core selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a percentage of sales and Currency-neutral Core SG&A expense as a percentage of sales: Core SG&A expense as a percentage of sales is a measure of the Company's selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales adjusted for items as indicated. Currency-neutral Core SG&A expense as a percentage of sales is a measure of the Company's Core selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a supplemental perspective to the Company's operating efficiency over time.
Core operating margin and Currency-neutral Core operating margin: Core operating margin is a measure of the Company's operating margin adjusted for items as indicated. Currency-neutral Core operating margin is a measure of the Company's Core operating margin excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow represents the cash that the Company is able to generate after taking into account planned maintenance and asset expansion. We view adjusted 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.
Adjusted free cash flow productivity: Adjusted free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings. We view adjusted free cash flow productivity as a useful measure to help investors understand P&G’s ability to generate cash. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is used by management in making operating decisions, in allocating financial resources and for budget planning
purposes. This measure is also used in assessing the achievement of management goals for at-risk compensation.
