P&G Announces Fiscal Year 2025 First Quarter Results

Net Sales -1%; Organic Sales +2%

Diluted EPS $1.61, -12%; Core EPS $1.93, +5%

MAINTAINS FISCAL YEAR SALES, EPS GROWTH AND CASH RETURN GUIDANCE

The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) reported first quarter fiscal year 2025 net sales of $21.7 billion, a decrease of one percent versus the prior year. Organic sales, which excludes the impacts of foreign exchange and acquisitions and divestitures, increased two percent, on a prior year base period of seven percent growth. Diluted net earnings per share were $1.61, a decrease of 12% versus prior year due to higher non-core restructuring charges. Core earnings per share were $1.93, an increase of five percent versus prior year.

Operating cash flow was $4.3 billion, and net earnings were $4.0 billion for the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 82%, in line with expectations. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is calculated as operating cash flow less capital spending, as a percentage of net earnings excluding a non-cash charge for accumulated foreign currency translation losses due to the substantial liquidation of operations in Argentina. The Company returned nearly $4.4 billion of cash to shareowners via over $2.4 billion of dividend payments and over $1.9 billion of share repurchases.

“Our organic sales growth, earnings and cash results in the first quarter keep us on track to deliver within our guidance ranges on all key financial metrics for the fiscal year,” said Jon Moeller, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “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 have confidence this remains the right strategy to deliver balanced growth and value creation.”

July - September Quarter Discussion

Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 were $21.7 billion, a one percent decrease versus the prior year. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of foreign exchange and acquisitions and divestitures, increased two percent. The organic sales increase was driven by a one percent increase from higher pricing and a one percent increase in organic volume (which excludes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures). Mix had a neutral impact on sales growth for the quarter.

(1) Net sales percentage changes are approximations based on quantitative formulas that are consistently applied.

(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 decreased two percent versus year ago. Hair Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by volume growth and favorable premium product mix in North America, Europe and Latin America, partially offset by volume declines primarily in Greater China. Personal Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by innovation-based volume growth and favorable product mix. Skin Care organic sales declined more than 20% due to volume declines and unfavorable mix from lower sales of the super-premium SK-II brand.
  • Grooming segment organic sales increased three percent versus year ago behind innovation-driven volume growth partially offset by unfavorable geographic mix.
  • Health Care segment organic sales increased four percent versus year ago. Oral Care organic sales increased low single digits due to premium product mix, partially offset by volume declines mainly in Greater China. Personal Health Care organic sales increased mid-single digits due to favorable mix from growth of respiratory products and increased pricing.
  • Fabric and Home Care segment organic sales increased three percent versus year ago. Fabric Care organic sales increased low single digits due to favorable geographic mix from growth in North America and Europe. Home Care organic sales increased mid-single digits due to volume growth and favorable product mix.
  • Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales were unchanged versus year ago. Baby Care organic sales decreased mid-single-digits due to volume declines partially offset by favorable product mix. Feminine Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by favorable product mix and increased pricing, partially offset by volume declines in international markets. Family Care organic sales increased mid-single digits driven by strong volume growth.

Diluted net earnings per share decreased by 12% to $1.61, driven primarily by higher restructuring charges related to the substantial liquidation of operations in certain Enterprise Markets, including Argentina. Core earnings per share increased five percent to $1.93. Currency-neutral core EPS were up 4% versus the prior year core EPS.

Reported gross margin for the quarter increased 10 basis points versus the prior year. Core gross margin for the quarter was unchanged versus the prior year and increased 10 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. Benefits of 170 basis points from gross productivity savings and 30 basis points from increased pricing were partially offset by 90 basis points of unfavorable commodity costs, 60 basis points of unfavorable mix and 40 basis points of product reinvestments.

Reported selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of sales decreased 20 basis points versus year ago. Core selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of sales decreased 30 basis points versus year ago and increased 30 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was driven by 110 basis points of reinvestments, partially offset by 60 basis points of productivity savings and 20 basis points of organic sales growth leverage. Foreign exchange headwinds in the current period were more than offset by the impact of prior year period foreign exchange headwinds.

Reported operating margin for the quarter increased 30 basis points versus the prior year. Core operating margin for the quarter also increased 30 basis points versus the prior year and decreased 10 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. Core operating margin included gross productivity savings of 230 basis points.

Limited Market Portfolio Restructuring

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 and recorded incremental restructuring charges of approximately $0.8 billion after tax, comprising primarily of non-cash charges of accumulated foreign currency translation losses previously included in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). The total incremental restructuring charges incurred under the program beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2023, through the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were approximately $1.2 billion after tax.

Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance

P&G maintained its guidance range for fiscal 2025 all-in sales growth to be in the range of two to four percent versus the prior year. The combined headwinds from foreign exchange and divestitures are expected to negatively impact all-in sales growth by approximately one percentage point. The Company also maintained its outlook for organic sales growth in the range of three to five percent.

P&G maintained its fiscal 2025 diluted net earnings per share growth to be in the range of 10% to 12% versus fiscal 2024 diluted net EPS of $6.02. P&G also maintained its fiscal 2025 core earnings per share growth to be in the range of five to seven percent versus fiscal 2024 core EPS of $6.59. This outlook equates to a range of $6.91 to $7.05 per share, with a mid-point estimate of $6.98, or an increase of 6%.

P&G now expects a commodity cost headwind of approximately $200 million after tax for fiscal 2025, which equates to a headwind of $0.08 per share. Foreign exchange is now expected to be neutral.

In addition, the prior fiscal year included benefits from minor brand divestitures and favorable tax impacts that are unlikely to repeat to the same extent in fiscal year 2025. Combined, these are an additional $0.10 to $0.12 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 continues to expect a core effective tax rate to be in the range of 20% to 21% in fiscal 2025.

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 October 18, 2024 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.

The Core earnings measures included in the following reconciliation tables refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for the following items:

  • 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 items to be part of our sustainable results, and their exclusion from core earnings measures provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year results. These items are 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 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 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 and excluding payments for the transitional tax resulting from the U.S. Tax Act. 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 excluding a non-cash charge for accumulated foreign currency translation losses due to the substantial liquidation of operations in Argentina. 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.
