P&G ANNOUNCES FISCAL YEAR 2026 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Net Sales +7%; Organic Sales 3%
Diluted EPS $1.63, +6%; Core EPS $1.59, +3%
MAINTAINS FISCAL YEAR SALES, EPS GROWTH AND CASH RETURN GUIDANCE
CINCINNATI, April 24, 2026 - The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) reported third quarter fiscal year 2026 net sales of $21.2 billion, an increase of seven percent versus the prior year. Organic sales, which excludes the impacts of foreign exchange and acquisitions and divestitures, increased three percent versus the prior year. Diluted net earnings per share were $1.63, an increase of six percent versus prior year, driven by a gain from the dissolution of the Glad joint venture business. Core earnings per share were $1.59, an increase of three percent versus prior year.
Operating cash flow was $4.0 billion, and net earnings were $4.0 billion for the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 82%. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is calculated as operating cash flow less capital spending, as a percentage of net earnings excluding the gain from the dissolution of the Glad joint venture business. The Company returned $3.2 billion of cash to shareowners via $2.5 billion of dividend payments and over $600 million of share repurchases. The dividend increase announced earlier this month marks the 70th consecutive year that P&G has increased its dividend and the 136th consecutive year that P&G has paid a dividend since its incorporation in 1890.

We continue to believe the best path to sustainable, balanced growth is by strengthening execution of our integrated growth strategy. We are confident in the progress we’re making and excited about the longer-term opportunity to leverage P&G’s strengths and unique capabilities to create the CPG company of the future.”



January - March Quarter Discussion
Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $21.2 billion, a seven percent increase versus the prior year. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of foreign exchange and acquisitions and divestitures, increased three percent driven by a two percent increase from volume and a one percent increase from higher pricing. Mix had a neutral impact on sales for the quarter.

(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 seven percent versus year ago. Hair Care organic sales increased mid-single digits driven by volume increase and innovation-based pricing in North America and Europe. Personal Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by innovation-based volume growth, favorable geographic mix and pricing. Skin Care organic sales also increased high single digits driven by favorable premium product mix and a volume increase, partially offset by merchandising investments, primarily in Greater China.
•Grooming segment organic sales increased one percent versus year ago as innovation-based pricing, primarily in North America and Europe, was partially offset by volume declines.
•Health Care segment organic sales increased two percent versus year ago. Oral Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by innovation-based pricing, primarily in North America, and favorable premium product mix, partially offset by a volume decline, led by Greater China. Personal Health Care organic sales also increased low single digits driven by higher pricing, primarily in North America, and favorable geographic mix, partially offset by a volume decline, led by North America and Europe.


•Fabric and Home Care segment organic sales increased three percent versus year ago. Fabric Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by a unit volume increase in North America. Home Care organic sales increased mid-single digits driven by a unit volume increase in Europe and higher pricing, primarily in Europe and North America.
•Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales increased three percent versus year ago. Baby Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by an increase in unit volume, primarily in India, Middle East and Africa and Greater China. Feminine Care organic sales also increased low single digits driven by innovation-based pricing, primarily in North America, and favorable geographic mix, partially offset by a unit volume decline. Family Care organic sales increased mid-single digits driven by strong volume growth due to retail inventory reduction in the prior year, partially offset by merchandising investments.
Diluted net earnings per share increased by six percent versus the prior year to $1.63, driven by a gain from the dissolution of the Glad joint venture business. Core earnings per share increased three percent to $1.59 and currency-neutral core EPS was unchanged at $1.54.
Reported gross margin for the quarter decreased 150 basis points versus the prior year. Core gross margin and currency-neutral core gross margin for the quarter decreased 100 basis points versus the prior year and excluded the impact from incremental restructuring charges. The decrease was driven by 180 basis points of unfavorable mix, 100 basis points of reinvestments, 50 basis points of higher costs from tariffs, 20 basis points of rounding and other items and 10 basis points of unfavorable commodity costs, partially offset by gross productivity savings of 210 basis points and increased pricing of 50 basis points.
Reported selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of sales increased 10 basis points versus year ago. Core SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased 10 basis points versus year ago and decreased 20 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. Core SG&A excluded the impact from incremental restructuring charges. The Core SG&A decrease was driven by 120 basis points of productivity savings, 90 basis points of positive scale impacts of the net sales increase and 20 basis points of rounding and other items, partially offset by 210 basis points of reinvestments.
Reported operating margin for the quarter decreased 150 basis points versus the prior year. Core operating margin for the quarter decreased 80 basis points versus the prior year and decreased 70 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. Core operating margin included gross productivity savings of 330 basis points.


Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
P&G maintained its guidance range for fiscal 2026 all-in sales growth to be in the range of one to five percent versus the prior year. The net impacts of foreign exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures are expected to be a tailwind of approximately one percentage point to all-in sales growth. The Company also maintained its outlook for organic sales growth in the range of in-line to up four percent versus the prior year.
P&G maintained its outlook for fiscal 2026 diluted net earnings per share growth to be in the range of one percent to six percent versus fiscal 2025 diluted net EPS of $6.51. P&G also maintained its fiscal 2026 core earnings per share growth to be in the range of in-line to up four percent versus fiscal 2025 core EPS of $6.83. This outlook equates to a range of $6.83 to $7.09 per share.
P&G now expects commodity costs to be a headwind of approximately $150 million after tax and higher costs from tariffs are estimated at approximately $400 million after tax for fiscal 2026. The Company continues to expect a net headwind of roughly $250 million after-tax from modestly higher net interest expense and a higher core effective tax rate versus the prior year. Foreign exchange is forecasted to be a tailwind of approximately $200 million after tax. Collectively these impacts equate to a headwind of $0.25 per share for fiscal 2026. The Company also noted it is increasing investments in innovation and demand creation to maintain positive momentum with consumers. Given these factors, P&G now expects fiscal 2026 EPS results to be toward the lower-end of the guidance range.
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 2026.
Capital spending is estimated to be in the range of four to five percent of fiscal 2026 net sales.
P&G continues to expect adjusted free cash flow productivity of 85% to 90% and expects to pay around $10 billion in dividends and to repurchase approximately $5 billion of common shares in fiscal 2026.

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, 2026 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. On June 5, 2025, the Company announced a portfolio and productivity plan to streamline its portfolio and organization to improve its cost structure and competitiveness. 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.
•Glad joint venture agreement: In January 2026, the Glad joint venture agreement between the Company and The Clorox Company (Clorox) expired. Under the terms of the agreement, Clorox purchased the Company’s minority interest in the venture at fair market, for $476 million. This transaction was accounted for as a dissolution of the Glad joint venture business and the Company recorded an after-tax gain of $261 million.


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 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 spending. 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 gain from the dissolution of the Glad joint venture business. 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.
