Notes to Financials
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Basis of presentation: The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of The Procter & Gamble Company and subsidiaries are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP under SEC interim reporting rules and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025; management states all normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation are included, but interim results may not be indicative of annual results.
Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies
- ASU 2023-09 (Income Taxes): Issued December 2023, requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction; effective for fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, will require additional disclosures in the Income Tax footnote but will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
- ASU 2024-03 (Expense Disaggregation): Issued November 2024, requires disclosures about significant expense categories including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and selling expenses; effective for fiscal year ending June 30, 2028 and interim periods within fiscal year ending June 30, 2029; impact on disclosures is currently being assessed.
- ASU 2025-06 (Internal-Use Software): Issued September 2025, amends accounting for and disclosure of software costs; effective for fiscal year ending June 30, 2029 and interim periods within that fiscal year; impact on Consolidated Financial Statements is currently being assessed.
- All other pronouncements: No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 3: Segment Information
- Segment structure: P&G reports 5 reportable segments — Beauty, Grooming, Health Care, Fabric & Home Care, and Baby, Feminine & Family Care — each comprising specific product categories as defined in the note, plus a Corporate category that captures items not allocated to the named segments.
- Assets by segment: The CODM does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources; accordingly, assets by segment are not disclosed.
- Other segment items: For each reportable segment, 'Other segment items' includes interest expense, interest income, and certain other non-operating income/(expense). In the prior-year period, Corporate's Other segment items included non-operating losses comprised primarily of a non-cash charge of $752M for accumulated foreign currency translation losses due to the substantial liquidation of operations in Argentina.
- Net sales mix: Fabric Care was the largest operating segment at 23% of net sales in both periods; Hair Care grew from 9% to 10% of net sales; all other operating segments were unchanged year-over-year as a percentage of net sales.

Note 4: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
- Goodwill by segment: Total goodwill declined from $41.6B at June 30, 2025 to $41.6B at September 30, 2025, primarily due to currency translation; there were no acquisitions or divestitures in the quarter across any of the 5 reportable segments (Beauty, Grooming, Health Care, Fabric & Home Care, Baby Feminine & Family Care).
- Identifiable intangibles: As of September 30, 2025, gross identifiable intangibles totaled $28.9B, composed of $9.2B with determinable lives (brands, patents, technology, customer relationships) against $7.1B accumulated amortization, and $19.7B with indefinite lives (primarily brands); amortization expense on determinable-lived assets was $79M for the three months ended September 30, 2025, versus $83M for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
- Gillette intangible — headroom and carrying value: As of September 30, 2025, the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset had a carrying value of $12.8B; based on annual impairment testing performed during the three months ended December 31, 2024, its fair value exceeds carrying value by greater than 10%, while all other goodwill reporting units and indefinite-lived intangibles have fair values that 'significantly exceed' their carrying values.
- Gillette sensitivity analysis: A sensitivity analysis (performed during the three months ended December 31, 2024) shows that, in isolation, a +25 basis-point increase in the discount rate, a -25 basis-point decrease in short-term and residual growth rates, or a -50 basis-point decrease in the royalty rate would each reduce the estimated fair value of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset by approximately (5)%, (5)%, and (4)%, respectively.
Note 5: Earnings Per Share
- Antidilutive options excluded: For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, antidilutive stock options excluded from the diluted EPS calculation were 11 million and 1 million, respectively.
- Preferred dividends: Preferred dividends of $73M (2025) and $72M (2024) are deducted from Net earnings attributable to P&G to arrive at the basic earnings available to common shareholders.

| Net periodic benefit (credit) for other retiree benefits | (153) | (180) | -15.0% |
Note 7: Risk Management Activities and Fair Value Measurements
- Risk management changes: No significant changes in risk management policies or activities during the three months ended September 30, 2025; no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the periods presented, no significant Level 3 activity, and no significant assets or liabilities re-measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
- Cash equivalents and long-term debt fair value: Cash equivalents were $9.9B (September 30, 2025) and $8.3B (June 30, 2025), classified as Level 1; fair value of long-term debt was $29.6B and $29.5B as of those same dates (including current portions of $6B and $5.3B, respectively), classified as Level 2.
- Hedging instruments: Total derivatives at fair value carried a notional amount of $22.2B (September 30, 2025) versus $18.7B (June 30, 2025), with net fair value liabilities of ($786M) and ($1.1B), respectively; the increase in net investment hedge notional is described as primarily driven by the Company's decision to leverage favorable interest rate spreads in the foreign currency swap market. The carrying value of foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges was $11.2B as of both dates.
- Collateral and OCI impacts: Instruments in a liability position covered by netting/collateral agreements totaled $772M (September 30, 2025) and $1.1B (June 30, 2025); the Company has not been required to post collateral. Net investment hedge derivatives recognized a gain of $14M in OCI for the three months ended September 30, 2025 versus a loss of ($501M) in the prior-year quarter, with excluded amounts recognized in earnings of $71M and $50M for those same periods, respectively.
Note 8: Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
- AOCI balance: Total AOCI attributable to Procter & Gamble moved from ($12.1B) at June 30, 2025 to ($12.2B) at September 30, 2025, net of tax, a deterioration of ($19M) driven primarily by foreign currency translation losses of ($20M) net of tax, partially offset by a $3M improvement in postretirement benefit plans.
- Reclassifications: $13M (before tax) was reclassified from AOCI to the Consolidated Statement of Earnings during the quarter, entirely from postretirement benefit plans; these amounts are reclassified into Other non-operating income/(expense), net and included in the computation of net periodic postretirement costs.
- Noncontrolling interests: OCI attributable to noncontrolling interests was ($6M) net of tax, entirely within foreign currency translation.
- Foreign currency translation: The ($11.4B) foreign currency translation balance at September 30, 2025 includes both financial statement translation and changes in fair value of net investment hedges (see Note 7).

| Postretirement Benefit Plans | (777) | (774) | +0.4% |
| Foreign Currency Translation | (11,375) | (11,389) | -0.1% |
Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
- General litigation (ongoing): Management and counsel believe ultimate resolution of various lawsuits — covering antitrust, product liability, advertising, contracts, environmental, patents, labor, and tax — will not materially affect financial position.
- Environmental remediation (ongoing): Subject to contingencies under environmental laws related to prior manufacturing and waste disposal; management does not believe ultimate resolution will be material.
- Income tax uncertainties (~$132M, next 12 months): Across ~70 countries and 30–40 active jurisdictional audits, audit activity could complete in multiple jurisdictions with accrued liabilities of approximately $132M (including interest and penalties).
Note 10: Supplier Finance Programs
- SCF program structure: The Company supports a Supply Chain Finance program (SCF) with several global financial institutions, allowing participating suppliers to sell receivables to SCF banks using the Company's creditworthiness to obtain more favorable terms; the Company is not party to supplier-bank agreements, provides no guarantee, and has no economic interest in a supplier's decision to sell a receivable.
- Payment terms: Supplier payment terms under the SCF program generally range from 60 to 180 days.
- Balance sheet classification: All outstanding SCF amounts are recorded within Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with associated payments included in operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows; amounts due to SCF-participating suppliers were approximately $5.9B as of September 30, 2025 and $5.8B as of June 30, 2025.
Note 11: Restructuring Program
- Ongoing program baseline: Historically, the Company has incurred annual restructuring-type costs of $250 to $500M (before tax), funded by and included within Corporate for management and segment reporting.
- Portfolio and productivity plan: In June 2025, the Company announced a new plan to streamline its portfolio and organization, expecting $1.5 to $2B in before-tax restructuring costs over two years — approximately half by end of fiscal 2026 and the remainder in fiscal 2027 — covering Sector Business Units, Enterprise Markets, Corporate Functions, and Global Business Services, with a reduction of up to 7,000 non-manufacturing overhead personnel by end of fiscal 2027, plus brand and market exits and supply chain optimization.
- Q1 FY2026 charges: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred total before-tax charges of $215M: $100M in Costs of products sold, $106M in SG&A, and $9M in Other non-operating income/(expense), net.
- Reserve roll-forward: The restructuring reserve increased from $189M at June 30, 2025 to $273M at September 30, 2025, driven by $215M of costs incurred offset by $131M of costs paid/settled; the Separations reserve was $182M and Other was $91M at period-end (Asset-Related reserve was $0 both periods as charges were settled in the quarter).

Management Discussion & Analysis
Forward-Looking Statements
Boilerplate only. Nothing of substance to surface.
Purpose, Approach and Non-GAAP Measures
- Purpose and structure: The MD&A is organized into seven sections — Overview; Summary of Results – Three Months Ended September 30, 2025; Economic Conditions and Uncertainties; Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2025; Segment Results – Three Months Ended September 30, 2025; Liquidity and Capital Resources; and Measures Not Defined by U.S. GAAP.

Net Sales
- Overall net sales: Net sales for the quarter increased 3% to $22.4B, driven by higher pricing of 1%, favorable mix of 1%, and favorable foreign exchange of 1%, with volume having a neutral impact; excluding acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign exchange, organic sales increased 2%.
- Segment drivers: Beauty led growth at 6% (volume +4%, FX +1%, price +2%, mix -1%); Grooming grew 5% (volume +1%, FX +2%, price +4%, mix -2%); Health Care +2%, Fabric & Home Care +1%, and Baby, Feminine & Family Care +1% each showed modest gains.
Operating Costs
- Gross margin: Decreased 70 basis points to 51.4% of net sales for the quarter, with headwinds from unfavorable product mix (100 bps), product and packaging investments (70 bps), higher tariff costs (60 bps), unfavorable foreign exchange (20 bps), higher restructuring costs (20 bps), and higher commodity costs (10 bps), partially offset by manufacturing productivity savings (140 bps), higher pricing (50 bps), and other items and rounding (20 bps).
- SG&A: Total SG&A spending increased 2% to $5.6B versus the prior year period due to increased marketing spending and overhead costs; SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 20 basis points to 25.2%, driven by a 20-basis-point decrease in marketing spending as a percentage of net sales from productivity savings, while overhead costs as a percentage of net sales were unchanged as wage inflation and foreign exchange headwinds were offset by productivity savings; productivity-driven cost savings delivered 90 basis points of benefit to SG&A as a percentage of net sales.

- Rate decrease drivers: The decline was primarily driven by a prior year charge for accumulated foreign currency translation losses due to the substantial liquidation of operations in Argentina (300 basis points impact) and discrete impacts related to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by a 200 basis-point increase from lower excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in the current year.
Net Earnings
- Net earnings: $4.8B for the quarter, up $794M or 20% versus the prior year period, driven by higher operating income, increased other non-operating income, and a lower effective tax rate.
