Insights
The Procter & Gamble Company's (P&G) reported increase in net sales and organic sales reflects a positive trajectory in revenue growth, which is a vital indicator of the company's financial health. The distinction between the reported net sales growth of 3% and organic sales growth of 4% is crucial, as organic growth is often seen as a more accurate representation of a company's performance, excluding volatile factors such as currency fluctuations and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.
The reported decline in diluted EPS by 12% primarily due to a non-cash impairment charge on the Gillette intangible asset, while notable, is a one-time accounting adjustment that does not necessarily reflect the ongoing operational performance of the company. Conversely, the 16% increase in core EPS, which excludes this impairment, suggests a strong underlying profit growth, potentially signaling operational efficiency and effective cost management strategies.
Investors should note the company's confidence in maintaining its fiscal year sales and cash return guidance, coupled with the updated GAAP EPS outlook and raised core EPS growth guidance. This indicates management's optimism about P&G's ability to navigate through current market conditions. The planned capital expenditures of approximately 4% of net sales and the commitment to return significant cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases are also indicative of P&G's robust financial position and shareholder-friendly policies.
From a market perspective, the increases in pricing contributing to the organic sales growth are reflective of P&G's strong brand power and pricing strategy, allowing the company to pass on higher costs to consumers without significantly impacting volume, which only saw a 1% decrease. The mix having a neutral impact suggests that the shift towards higher-priced or premium products is balancing out with other factors within the sales mix.
Segment-wise, the varied performance with Beauty segment's modest increase, Grooming's strong growth and Health Care's slight increase, demonstrates P&G's diversified portfolio and its ability to leverage different consumer trends and market dynamics. Particularly, the double-digit growth in the Grooming segment's organic sales, driven by higher pricing and premium product mix, is indicative of successful brand and product strategies in this category.
Furthermore, the planned restructuring of business operations in certain markets due to challenging macroeconomic conditions shows P&G's proactive approach to optimizing its market portfolio, which could lead to improved efficiency and cost savings in the long term, despite the anticipated non-cash restructuring charges.
P&G's financial performance must be contextualized within the broader economic landscape, where foreign exchange headwinds and commodity costs are pivotal factors. The company's expectation of foreign exchange rates as a headwind of approximately $1 billion after tax demonstrates the significant impact of global currency volatility on multinational corporations. The anticipated tailwinds from favorable commodity costs, however, suggest an easing of input cost pressures that could enhance margins in fiscal 2024.
The impairment of the Gillette intangible asset is a response to several external economic factors, including higher discount rates and currency weakening. This adjustment is a strategic financial decision that aligns the book value with the fair market value, which can be interpreted as a prudent move in light of changing market conditions.
Lastly, the core effective tax rate projection of approximately 21% offers insight into the fiscal planning and potential tax liabilities the company anticipates, which is a key consideration for stakeholders evaluating the net profitability and cash flows of P&G.

Gross margin for the quarter increased 520 basis points versus the prior year, 590 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was driven by benefits of 240 basis points from gross productivity savings, 200 basis points of favorable commodity costs and 190 basis points from increased pricing. These were partially offset by 40 basis points of product reinvestments and other impacts.

The Procter & Gamble Company
Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Measures
The following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in Procter & Gamble's January 23, 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. 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 Argentina andNigeria . The adjustment to Core earnings includes the restructuring charges that exceed the normal, recurring level of restructuring charges.
-
Intangible asset impairment: The Company recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2023, a non-cash, after-tax impairment charge of
$1.0 billion $1.3 billion
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 provides 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 excluding the Gillette intangible asset impairment charge. 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.
