Notes to Financials
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
- Basis: Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of The Procter & Gamble Company and subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP pursuant to SEC rules for interim financial information.
- Management view: In management's opinion, the statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods reported; however, interim results may not be indicative of annual results.
Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies
- ASU 2023-09 (Income Taxes): Requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction; effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026 and will require additional disclosures in the Income Tax footnote but will not have a material impact on Consolidated Financial Statements.
- ASU 2024-03 (Expense Disaggregation): Requires disclosures about significant expense categories including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and selling expenses; effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2028 and interim periods within the fiscal year ending June 30, 2029 — impact on disclosures is currently being assessed.
- ASU 2025-06 (Internal-Use Software) and ASU 2025-10 (Government Grants): ASU 2025-06 amends accounting for and disclosure of software costs, effective fiscal year ending June 30, 2029 and interim periods within that year; ASU 2025-10 provides guidance on recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants, effective fiscal year ending June 30, 2030 and interim periods within that year — both are currently being assessed for impact on Consolidated Financial Statements.
- 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 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 composed of specific product categories as defined in the note. A Corporate category captures items not allocated to the reportable segments.
- Other segment items: For each reportable segment, 'Other segment items' includes interest expense, interest income, and certain other non-operating income/(expense). In the six months ended December 31, 2024, Corporate 'Other segment items' included a non-cash charge of $752M for accumulated foreign currency translation losses due to the substantial liquidation of operations in Argentina.
- Assets by segment: The CODM does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources; accordingly, assets by segment are not disclosed.

Note 4: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
- Goodwill by segment: Total goodwill was $41.7B at December 31, 2025, up from $41.6B at June 30, 2025, with the increase driven entirely by currency translation ($15M); there were no acquisitions or divestitures during the period. Segment balances at December 31, 2025: Beauty $14.2B, Grooming $13B, Health Care $7.9B, Fabric & Home Care $1.9B, Baby, Feminine & Family Care $4.6B.
- Identifiable intangibles: At December 31, 2025, gross carrying amount was $28.9B ($9.2B determinable-lived, net of $7.2B accumulated amortization; $19.7B indefinite-lived). Determinable-lived assets consist of brands, patents, technology, and customer relationships; indefinite-lived assets primarily consist of brands. Amortization expense was $77M and $80M for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $156M and $163M for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
- Gillette impairment headroom: As of December 31, 2025, the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset's carrying value was $12.8B, and its fair value exceeds carrying value by greater than 10%; all other goodwill reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets have fair values that significantly exceed carrying values. Sensitivity analysis shows that, in isolation, a +25 basis-point increase in the discount rate, a -25 basis-point decrease in growth rates, or a -50 basis-point decrease in the royalty rate would each reduce estimated fair value by approximately (5)%, (5)%, and (4)%, respectively.
Note 5: Earnings Per Share
- Antidilutive options excluded: For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, weighted average antidilutive stock options excluded from the diluted EPS calculation were 23 million and 8 million, respectively; for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, these were 19 million and 4 million, respectively.
- Preferred dividends: Preferred dividends of $73M (Q2 FY2026) and $146M (six months ended December 31, 2025) are deducted from Net earnings attributable to P&G to arrive at the basic earnings available to common shareholders.

Note 6: Share-Based Compensation and Postretirement Benefits
- Share-based compensation expense: $140,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 vs. $136,000 in the prior-year period; $262,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2025 vs. $241,000 in the prior-year period.
- Net periodic pension benefit cost: $26,000 for both the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024; $65,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2025 vs. $63,000 in the prior-year period.
- Net periodic other retiree benefit credit: ($149,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2025 vs. ($180,000) in the prior-year period; ($302,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2025 vs. ($360,000) in the prior-year period.
Note 7: Risk Management Activities and Fair Value Measurements
- Risk management policies: No significant changes in risk management policies or activities during the six months ended December 31, 2025; valuation techniques for financial assets and liabilities were unchanged, no transfers occurred between levels of the fair value hierarchy, no significant Level 3 activity, and no significant assets or liabilities re-measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
- Cash equivalents and debt fair value: Cash equivalents were $9.4B and $8.3B as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively, classified as Level 1; the fair value of long-term debt (including current portion of $6.4B and $5.3B, respectively) was $31.3B and $29.5B at those same dates, classified as Level 2.
- Derivative positions: Total derivatives at fair value carried a notional of $21.7B (December 31, 2025) vs. $18.7B (June 30, 2025), with aggregate fair value assets of $33M vs. $19M and liabilities of ($712M) vs. ($1.1B); the increase in fair value hedge notional on interest rate contracts (from $3.3B to $5.3B) was driven by debt portfolio rebalancing to meet interest rate risk management objectives; all derivative assets and liabilities are Level 2.
- Collateral/credit-risk provisions: Instruments covered by netting and collateral agreements in a liability position totaled $706M and $1.1B as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively; the Company has not been required to post collateral as a result of these contractual features.
- OCI and earnings impact: Net investment hedge foreign currency interest rate contracts recognized OCI losses of ($17M) and ($3M) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, vs. gains of $857M and $356M in the comparable prior-year periods; gains excluded from effectiveness testing recognized in earnings were $65M and $136M for the three and six months ended December 31, 2025, 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 ($12.1B) at December 31, 2025, a net improvement of $27M after tax, driven primarily by a $25M gain in foreign currency translation and a $1M gain each in investment securities and postretirement benefit plans.
- Reclassifications: $14M was reclassified out of AOCI into the Consolidated Statement of Earnings on a pre-tax basis, entirely from postretirement benefit plans, which are reclassified into Other non-operating income/(expense), net as part of net periodic postretirement costs.
- Foreign currency translation: The ($11.3B) balance at December 31, 2025 includes both financial statement translation and changes in fair value of net investment hedges; noncontrolling interests absorbed ($9M) of OCI within this component, reducing the amount attributable to P&G.
- Investment securities: Balance improved marginally from $9M to $10M, with a $1M pre-tax OCI gain fully offset by a ($1M) tax effect, resulting in a net $1M increase.

| Postretirement Benefit Plans | (777) | (776) | +0.1% |
| Foreign Currency Translation | (11,375) | (11,342) | +0.3% |
Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
- Uncertain tax positions (next 12 months, ~$124M): Audit activity could be completed in multiple jurisdictions with accrued liabilities of approximately $124M, including interest and penalties; tax years open from 2010 forward across ~150 taxable jurisdictions.
Legal Proceedings
- Environmental remediation (ongoing): Subject to contingencies under environmental laws related to prior manufacturing and waste disposal; management does not believe ultimate resolution will materially affect financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
- General litigation (ongoing): Subject to legal proceedings covering antitrust, product liability, advertising, contracts, patents, labor, and tax matters; management believes ultimate resolution will not materially affect financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 10: Supplier Finance Programs
- Program structure: The Company operates a Supply Chain Finance program (SCF) with several global financial institutions, under which participating suppliers can sell receivables from the Company to an SCF bank; the Company is not party to those supplier-bank agreements, provides no guarantee, and has no economic interest in a supplier's decision to sell a receivable.
- Payment terms and balance sheet classification: Supplier payment terms under SCF generally range from 60 to 180 days; all outstanding SCF amounts are recorded within Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and associated payments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
- Outstanding balances: The amount due to suppliers participating in SCF and included in Accounts payable was approximately $5.8B as of both December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025.

Management Discussion & Analysis
Forward-Looking Statements
Boilerplate only. Nothing of substance to surface.
Purpose, Approach and Non-GAAP Measures
- Non-GAAP measures used: Management refers to organic sales growth, Core earnings per share (Core EPS), adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow productivity as non-GAAP measures, with definitions, rationale, and reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure provided at the end of the MD&A.
- Market share methodology: Market share and consumption estimates are based on a combination of vendor-purchased traditional brick-and-mortar and online data in key markets plus internal estimates; all market share references represent the percentage of sales in dollar terms on a constant currency basis, and data typically reflects a lag time of one or two months relative to the end of the reporting period.
- Volume measure: Organic volume growth excludes the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures, and certain one-time items, and is used to explain changes in organic sales.
OVERVIEW
- Business description: P&G describes itself as a global leader in the fast-moving consumer goods industry, selling branded consumer packaged goods in about 180 countries and territories through mass merchandisers, e-commerce (including social commerce), grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, distributors, wholesalers, specialty beauty stores, high-frequency stores, pharmacies, electronics stores, and professional channels, with on-the-ground operations in about 70 countries.
- Segment structure change: Effective July 1, 2024, the Beauty reportable business segment separated Skin and Personal Care into individual operating segments — Skin Care and Personal Care — including separation of management team, strategic decision-making, innovation plans, financial targets, budgets, and management reporting.
- Competitive environment: P&G operates in highly competitive markets against global, regional, and local competitors, including both branded products and retailers' private-label brands, across price tiers (super-premium, premium, mid-tier, and value-tier); management states the company believes it holds a leadership or significant market share position in the segments and markets in which it operates.

Corporate
- Corporate definition: Corporate includes operating and non-operating activities not allocated to specific segments — incidental businesses, gains/losses on divested brands, financing and investing activity impacts, employee benefit impacts, asset impairments, and restructuring activities including manufacturing and workforce optimization. The most notable ongoing reconciling item is income taxes, which adjusts blended statutory rates reflected in reportable segments to the overall Company effective tax rate.
- Q2 results (three months ended December 31, 2025): Corporate net sales increased $1M to $160M; Corporate net earnings decreased $137M to a loss of $161M, due primarily to incremental restructuring charges in the current year.
- YTD results (six months ended December 31, 2025): Corporate net sales increased $80M to $402M; Corporate net earnings increased $606M to a loss of $125M, driven primarily by restructuring charges in the prior year period related to the substantial liquidation of operations in certain Enterprise Markets, including Argentina, partially offset by current year restructuring charges.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities
- Operating cash flow: $10.4B fiscal year to date, an increase of $1.3B versus the prior year period.
- Earnings-to-cash conversion: Net earnings adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes, and (gain)/loss on sale of assets) generated $11.1B of operating cash flow.
- Working capital drag: Working capital and other impacts consumed $753M of cash — accounts receivable consumed $92M (days sales outstanding decreased by one day), inventory growth consumed $255M driven by increased safety stock levels and new product initiatives (days inventory on hand decreased by one day), and trade payables provided $239M driven by increased supply chain activity and marketing support.
- Other cash uses: An additional $645M was consumed primarily by the payment of the transitional tax related to the 2017 U.S. Tax Act and a reduction in postretirement benefit and compensation accruals, partially offset by current year income tax accruals in excess of estimated payments.
Investing Activities
- Investing activities: Used $2.8B of cash fiscal year to date, primarily driven by capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
- Financing activities: Used $6.3B of net cash fiscal year to date, mainly due to dividends to shareholders and treasury stock purchases, partially offset by a net debt increase.
- Working capital deficit: Current liabilities exceeded current assets by $10.1B as of December 31, 2025; management anticipates supporting short-term liquidity and operating needs largely through cash generated from operations.
- Debt refinancing: Management states strong short- and long-term debt ratings have enabled, and should continue to enable, refinancing of debt as it becomes due at favorable rates in commercial paper and bond markets, supplemented by agreements with a diverse group of financial institutions for short-term financing if needed.
MEASURES NOT DEFINED BY U.S. GAAP
- Organic sales growth: Organic sales strips out foreign exchange and acquisition/divestiture impacts; for the three months ended December 31, 2025, total company net sales grew 1% but organic sales growth was flat (0%), with FX a 1% drag; for the six months ended December 31, 2025, total company net sales grew 2% with organic sales growth of 1%, again offset by 1% FX headwind. At the segment level for the six-month period, Beauty led with 5% organic growth, followed by Grooming and Health Care at 2% each, while Baby, Feminine & Family Care was (2)% and Fabric & Home Care was flat.
- Adjusted free cash flow: For the six months ended December 31, 2025, operating cash flow of $10.4B less capital spending of ($2.4B) plus $688M in 2017 U.S. Tax Act payments yielded adjusted free cash flow of $8.7B; adjusted free cash flow productivity (ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings) was 95%, with net earnings of $9.1B.
- Core EPS vs. GAAP EPS: For the three months ended December 31, 2025, GAAP diluted EPS was $1.78 and Core EPS was $1.88 (flat versus the prior-year $1.88), with $0.10 per share of incremental restructuring excluded; GAAP net earnings attributable to P&G fell (7)% and Core net earnings attributable to P&G fell (1)% year-over-year. For the six months ended December 31, 2025, GAAP diluted EPS was $3.73 and Core EPS was $3.87 (up 2% versus prior-year Core EPS of $3.81), with $0.14 per share of incremental restructuring excluded; GAAP net earnings attributable to P&G grew 6% while Core net earnings attributable to P&G was flat.
- Incremental restructuring definition: The Core EPS adjustment excludes restructuring charges above the Company's historical ongoing level of approximately $250–$500M before tax; the June 5, 2025 portfolio and productivity plan and the prior limited market portfolio restructuring (substantially completed with Argentina's liquidation in the period ended September 30, 2024) are the primary drivers of the incremental restructuring add-back.
