Business Summary

The restructuring activities include a plan for a reduction of up to 7,000 non-manufacturing overhead personnel by the end of fiscal 2027 . The Company and The Clorox Company have jointly decided not to renew the Glad joint venture agreement, and Clorox will purchase the Company's minority interest at fair market value as of the agreement termination in January 2026. Subject to market conditions, the Company expects to receive cash proceeds of approximately $500 million and record an after-tax gain in the range of $250 to $300 million in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 .

Business Outlook & Financial Sufficiency

The Company expects the delivery of the following long-term growth algorithm: organic sales growth above market growth rates in the categories and geographies in which it competes; Core EPS growth of mid-to-high single digits; and adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90% or greater . While periods of significant macroeconomic pressures may cause short-term results to deviate from the long-term growth algorithm, the Company intends to maintain a disciplined approach to investing in its business.

The Company's strategy is to deliver and sustain value creation through five integrated choices: a portfolio of daily-use products where performance drives brand choice; superiority across product, package, brand communication, retail execution and value; productivity; constructive disruption of the entire value chain; and a highly efficient and effective organization structure. The Company has declared four focus areas: leveraging environmental sustainability as an additional driver of superior performing products and packaging innovations; increasing digital acumen to drive consumer and customer preference, reduce cost and enable rapid and efficient decision making; developing next-level supply chain capabilities to enable flexibility, agility, resilience and a new level of productivity; and delivering a superior employee value equation for all employees inclusive of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, ages and abilities to ensure the Company continues to attract, retain and develop the best talent to better serve its increasingly diverse consumer base.

The Company is focused on designing and manufacturing irresistibly superior products that are more sustainable. In 2021, the Company announced a 2040 net zero ambition . The Climate Transition Action Plan outlines the Company's ongoing efforts toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions across scopes 1 and 2 and elements of scope 3. The Company has also declared ambitions towards purchasing renewable electricity for its operations, reducing intensity of virgin petroleum-based plastic in packaging, designing more consumer packaging to be recyclable or reusable, responsible sourcing of key forest-based commodities, improving efficiency of water usage in its operations and driving a global portfolio of water restoration projects in key water basins. While the Company has met or exceeded some of the goals and is making significant progress against others, scalable infrastructure and cost-effective solutions are not yet available to fully deliver against some of its stated ambitions.

The Company expects to incur approximately $1.5 to $2.0 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a two-year period, including costs incurred as part of the portfolio and productivity plan and the ongoing plan . The Company expects to incur half of the costs under this plan by the end of fiscal 2026, with the remainder incurred in fiscal 2027 . The restructuring activities include a plan for a reduction of up to 7,000 non-manufacturing overhead personnel by the end of fiscal 2027 . Productivity-driven cost savings delivered 140 basis points of benefit to SG&A as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2025 .

The Company's ability to meet customers' needs and achieve cost targets depends on its ability to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including execution of supply chain optimizations and certain sole supplier or sole manufacturing plant arrangements. The Company has on-the-ground operations in about 70 countries and owns and operates 24 manufacturing sites in the U.S. located in 18 different states, as well as 75 manufacturing sites in 32 other countries . As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately 109,000 employees, an increase of 2% versus the prior year due to business growth .

The Company's capital allocation priorities include funding operating needs and capital expenditures, with excess operating cash used first to fund shareholder dividends, followed by share repurchases and acquisitions. Research and development costs were $2.1 billion in fiscal 2025 and $2.0 billion in fiscal 2024 and 2023 . Capital expenditures were $3,773 million in fiscal 2025 . The Company reaffirmed in its earnings release on April 24, 2025, that it expected to reduce outstanding shares through direct share repurchases at a value of $6 to $7 billion in fiscal year 2025 . The total value of the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan was $6.5 billion . P&G has been paying a dividend for 135 consecutive years since its incorporation in 1890 and has increased its dividend for 69 consecutive years since 1956 . Over the past ten years, the dividend has increased at an annual compound average rate of 5% . Dividends per share were $4.08 in 2025 .

The Company is exposed to significant foreign exchange impacts due to the weakening of certain foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar, which have negatively impacted net sales, net earnings and cash flows. Operations outside the U.S. generate more than 50% of annual net sales . The Company's largest international markets are Greater China, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan and Germany and collectively comprised approximately 21% of net sales in fiscal 2025 . The Company is also exposed to risks due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and its Russia business accounted for 1% of consolidated net sales, net earnings and net assets as of June 30, 2025 . The Company is subject to changes in U.S. and foreign government legislative, regulatory or enforcement policies that can have a negative impact on net sales, net earnings and cash flows, including tax policy changes and government controls such as currency exchanges, pricing and import authorizations.

The Company faces risks from commodity and input material price fluctuations, particularly certain oil-derived materials like resins and paper-based materials like pulp. Volatility in the market price of commodities and input materials directly affects costs. Disruptions in manufacturing, supply and distribution operations can lead to increased costs. The Company also faces risks from changing political and geopolitical conditions, including sanctions, tariffs, trade barriers and market contraction, which could adversely affect its results of operations and cash flows.

Management Sentiments & Priorities

Management's message emphasizes the Company's focus on delivering sustainable value creation through balanced top- and bottom-line growth, with a strategy centered on superiority, productivity, constructive disruption, and an efficient organization structure. The Company expects the delivery of the following long-term growth algorithm: organic sales growth above market growth rates in the categories and geographies in which it competes; Core EPS growth of mid-to-high single digits; and adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90% or greater . Management's strategic priorities include leveraging environmental sustainability as an additional driver of superior performing products and packaging innovations, increasing digital acumen, developing next-level supply chain capabilities, and delivering a superior employee value equation for all employees. The Company also announced a portfolio and productivity plan in June 2025 to streamline its portfolio and organization, expecting to incur approximately $1.5 to $2.0 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a two-year period and reducing up to 7,000 non-manufacturing overhead personnel by the end of fiscal 2027 .

Risk Factors

The Company faces material risks from foreign currency fluctuations, as operations outside the U.S. generate more than 50% of annual net sales, and fluctuations in exchange rates have and could continue to reduce the U.S. dollar value of sales, earnings and cash flows . The Company's business results depend on its ability to manage disruptions in its global supply chain, including the loss or disruption of key manufacturing and supply arrangements, which could interrupt product supply and adversely impact business. The Company also faces significant risks from commodity cost fluctuations, particularly for oil-derived materials like resins and paper-based materials like pulp, and inflation pressures sometimes result in increases in these input costs. A significant information security or cybersecurity incident could have a material adverse impact on business operations and financial results, and the Company relies extensively on information and operational technology systems, networks and services. The Company's ability to meet its growth targets depends on successful product, marketing and operations innovation and successful responses to competitive innovation, evolving digital marketing and selling platforms and changing consumer habits. The Company is subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations across the countries in which it does business, and changes in applicable tax laws and regulations, including the OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax rate of 15% for large multinational corporations, could negatively affect financial results .
