Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a summary of Kimberly-Clark Corporation’s (the “Company”) net sales and operating profit for its (1) Health Care and (2) K-C Professional & Other business segments for 2003, 2004 and 2005 (2005 is presented on a quarterly basis). Also included are depreciation and amortization, capital spending and assets for 2004 and 2005 for these two business segments. This information reflects the newly defined business segments of the Company as a result of organizational changes effective January 1, 2006.

The Health Care segment manufactures and markets health care products such as surgical gowns, drapes, infection control products, sterilization wrap, disposable face masks and exam gloves, respiratory products and other disposable medical products. The K-C Professional & Other segment manufactures and markets facial and bathroom tissue, paper towels, napkins, wipers and other products to the away-from-home marketplace. These two business segments had previously been combined into the Business-to-Business segment.

The Personal Care and Consumer Tissue business segments were not affected by the organizational changes and will continue to be reported on their historical basis.
