NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and the Form 8-K filed October 28, 2013 to update the Form 10-K for a change to our reportable segments that was effective July 1, 2013. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of The Procter & Gamble Company and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Procter & Gamble," "we" or "our") contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of annual results.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies

No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Segment Information

Effective July 1, 2013, the Company implemented a number of changes to our GBU structure, which resulted in changes to our reportable segments.  We organized our Global Business Units (GBUs) into four industry-based sectors comprised of 1) Global Beauty, 2) Global Health and Grooming, 3) Global Fabric and Home Care, and 4) Global Baby, Feminine and Family Care. Under U.S. GAAP, the GBUs underlying these sectors will be aggregated into five reportable segments: 1) Beauty, 2) Grooming, 3) Health Care, 4) Fabric Care and Home Care, and 5) Baby, Feminine and Family Care. As a result of the organizational changes, Feminine Care transitioned from Health Care to Baby, Feminine and Family Care, and Pet Care transitioned from Fabric Care and Home Care to Health Care. Prior periods have been recast to reflect the change.

Following is a summary of segment results.

		Three Months Ended March 31									Nine Months Ended March 31
		Net Sales			Earnings Before Income Taxes			Net Earnings			Net Sales			Earnings Before Income Taxes			Net Earnings
Beauty	2014	$	4,691		$	800		$	624		$	14,878		$	2,869		$	2,241

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is allocated by reportable segment as follows:

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

	Beauty		Grooming		Health Care		Fabric Care and Home Care			Baby, Feminine and Family Care		Corporate		Total Company
GOODWILL at June 30, 2013	$	16,663	$	20,617	$	8,318	$	4,453		$	4,828	$	309	$	55,188
Translation and Other	427		355		110		55			92		—		1,039
Acquisitions and Divestitures	—		—		—		(1		)	—		—		(1		)
GOODWILL at March 31, 2014	$	17,090	$	20,972	$	8,428	$	4,507		$	4,920	$	309	$	56,226

Goodwill increased from June 30, 2013 primarily due to currency translation across all reportable segments.

Identifiable intangible assets at March 31, 2014 are comprised of:

	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Intangible assets with determinable lives	$	9,795	$	5,346
Intangible assets with indefinite lives	26,857		—
Total identifiable intangible assets	$	36,652	$	5,346

Intangible assets with determinable lives consist of brands, patents, technology and customer relationships. The intangible assets with indefinite lives consist primarily of brands. The amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $126 million and $136 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the amortization of intangibles was $389 million for both periods.

The results of our annual goodwill impairment testing, which took place during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, indicated a decline in the fair value of the Batteries reporting unit due to lower long-term market growth assumptions in certain key geographies.  The estimated fair value of Batteries continues to exceed its underlying carrying value, but the excess has been reduced to approximately 6%.  The business unit valuations used to test goodwill for impairment are dependent on a number of significant estimates and assumptions, including macroeconomic conditions, overall category growth rates, competitive activities, cost containment and margin expansion and Company business plans.  We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable.  However, actual events and results of the Batteries reporting unit could differ substantially from those used in our valuations.  To the extent such factors result in a further reduction of the level of projected cash flows used to estimate the Batteries reporting unit fair value, we may need to record non-cash impairment charges in the future.

5. Share-Based Compensation

Total share-based compensation expense was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31				Nine Months Ended March 31
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Stock options	$	64	$	66	$	170	$	183
Other share-based awards	30		30		77		67
Total share-based compensation	$	94	$	96	$	247	$	250

Assumptions utilized in the model that estimates the fair value of share-based awards for purposes of calculating compensation expense are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience.

6. Postretirement Benefits

The Company offers various postretirement benefits to its employees.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for defined benefit plans are as follows:

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

	Pension Benefits						Other Retiree Benefits

7. Risk Management Activities and Fair Value Measurements

As a multinational company with diverse product offerings, we are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

	Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
	March 31, 2014		June 30, 2013		March 31, 2014		June 30, 2013		March 31, 2014		June 30, 2013		March 31, 2014		June 30, 2013

⁽¹⁾  Other foreign currency instruments are comprised of foreign currency financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges.

⁽²⁾  All derivative assets are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other noncurrent assets. Investment securities are presented in available-for-sale investment securities and other noncurrent assets. The U.S government securities are included in other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2013. The amortized cost of the U.S. government securities was $1,599 as of March 31, 2014 and $1,604 as of June 30, 2013. All U.S. government securities have contractual maturities between one and five years. Fair values are generally estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments.

⁽³⁾  All liabilities are presented in accrued and other liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities.

⁽⁴⁾  Long-term debt includes the current portion ($5,258 and $4,540 as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively) of debt instruments. Long-term debt is not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, but is measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. Fair values are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments.

The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter. There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented. Also, there was no significant activity within the Level 3 assets and liabilities during the periods presented and there were no assets or liabilities that were remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the period ended March 31, 2014.

Substantially all of the Company’s financial instruments used in hedging transactions are governed by industry standard netting agreements with counterparties. If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below the levels stipulated in the agreements, the counterparties could demand either collateralization or termination of the arrangement. The aggregate fair value of the instruments covered by these contractual features that are in a net liability position as of March 31, 2014, was not material. The Company has not been required to post any collateral as a result of these contractual features.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments

The notional amounts and fair values of qualifying and non-qualifying financial instruments used in hedging transactions as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

The effective portion of gains and losses on derivative instruments that was recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, was not material. During the next 12 months, the amount of the March 31, 2014 accumulated OCI (AOCI) balance that will be reclassified to earnings is expected to be immaterial.

The amounts of gains and losses on qualifying and non-qualifying financial instruments used in hedging transactions for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

9. Restructuring Program

The Company has historically incurred an ongoing annual level of restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization. Before-tax costs incurred under the ongoing program have generally ranged from $250 to $500 million annually. In February and November 2012, the Company made announcements regarding an incremental restructuring program as part of a productivity and cost savings plan to reduce costs in the areas of supply chain, research and development, marketing and overheads. The productivity and cost savings plan was designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes in order to help fund the Company's growth strategy. The restructuring program is being executed across the Company's centralized organization as well as across virtually all of its Sales and Market Operations (SMO) and GBUs.

The Company expects to incur in excess of $3.5 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a five year period (from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2016), including costs incurred as part of the ongoing and incremental restructuring program. The restructuring program included an initial net reduction in non-manufacturing overhead personnel of approximately 5,700 by the end of fiscal 2013. In addition to the initial reduction of 5,700 employees, the restructuring program includes plans for a further non-manufacturing overhead personnel reduction of approximately 2% - 4% annually from fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2016, roughly doubling the size of the initial enrollment reduction target. This is being done via the elimination of duplicate work, simplification through the use of technology and the optimization of various functional and business organizations and the Company's global footprint. In addition, the plan includes integration of newly acquired companies and the optimization of the supply chain and other manufacturing processes.

Restructuring costs incurred consist primarily of costs to separate employees and asset-related costs to exit facilities. The Company is also incurring other types of costs as outlined below. Through fiscal 2013, the Company incurred charges of

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

approximately $2.0 billion. Approximately $1.1 billion of these charges were related to separations, $487 million were asset-related and $431 million were related to other restructuring-type costs. Through fiscal 2013, the Company reduced non-manufacturing enrollment by approximately 7,000, which was 1,300 positions above initial target.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred total restructuring charges of approximately $212 million and $514 million, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014 approximately $101 million and $250 million of these charges were recorded in SG&A, respectively. The remainder is included in cost of products sold. The following table presents restructuring activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2014:

							For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014
	Accrual Balance June 30, 2013		Charges Previously Reported (Six Months Ended December 31, 2013)		Charges for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014		Cash Spent			Charges Against Assets			Accrual Balance March 31, 2014

Total	$	323	$	302	$	212	$	(374	)	$	(119	)	$	344

Separation Costs

Employee separation charges for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014 relate to severance packages for approximately 880 and 1,550 employees, respectively. Separations related to non-manufacturing employees were approximately 520 and 1,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively. These separations are primarily in North America and Western Europe. The packages are predominately voluntary and the amounts are calculated based on salary levels and past service periods. Severance costs related to voluntary separations are generally charged to earnings when the employee accepts the offer. Since its inception, the restructuring program has incurred separation charges related to approximately 8,300 employees, of which approximately 5,640 are non-manufacturing overhead personnel.

Asset-Related Costs

Asset-related costs consist of both asset write-downs and accelerated depreciation. Asset write-downs relate to the establishment of a new fair value basis for assets held-for-sale or disposal. These assets were written down to the lower of their current carrying basis or amounts expected to be realized upon disposal, less minor disposal costs. Charges for accelerated depreciation relate to long-lived assets that will be taken out of service prior to the end of their normal service period. These assets relate primarily to manufacturing consolidations and technology standardization. The asset-related charges will not have a significant impact on future depreciation charges.

Other Costs

Other restructuring-type charges are incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program. Such charges primarily include employee relocation related to separations and office consolidations, termination of contracts related to supply chain redesign and the cost to change internal systems and processes to support the underlying organizational changes.

Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the restructuring program charges are funded by and included within Corporate for both management and segment reporting. Accordingly, all of the charges under the program are included within the Corporate reportable segment. However, for informative purposes, the following table summarizes the total restructuring costs related to our reportable segments.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising out of our business which cover a wide range of matters such as antitrust, trade and other governmental regulations, product liability, patent and trademark matters, advertising, contracts, environmental issues, labor and employment matters and income taxes.

As previously disclosed, the Company has had a number of antitrust matters in Europe. These matters involve a number of other consumer products companies and/or retail customers. Several regulatory authorities in Europe have issued separate decisions pursuant to their investigations alleging that the Company, along with several other companies, engaged in violations of competition laws in those countries. Many of these matters have concluded and the fines have been paid. For ongoing matters, the Company has accrued liabilities for competition law violations totaling $171 million as of March 31, 2014. While the ultimate resolution of these matters for which we have accrued liabilities may result in fines or costs in excess of the amounts reserved, it is difficult to estimate such amounts at this time. Currently, however, we do not expect any such incremental losses to materially impact our financial statements in the period in which they are accrued and paid, respectively.

With respect to other litigation and claims, while considerable uncertainty exists, in the opinion of management and our counsel, the ultimate resolution of the various lawsuits and claims will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require us to take action to correct the effects on the environment of prior manufacturing and waste disposal practices. Based on currently available information, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of environmental remediation will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Tax Uncertainties

The Company is present in approximately 150 taxable jurisdictions and, at any point in time, has 40 – 50 audits underway at various stages of completion. We evaluate our tax positions and establish liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by local authorities and may not be fully sustained, despite our belief that the underlying tax positions are fully supportable. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law and closing of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the tax provision as appropriate. We have tax years open ranging from 2002 and forward. We are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts or timing until the close of the audit. While we do not expect material changes, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit with respect to our uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months related to audits described above. At this time, we are not able to make a reasonable estimate of the range of impact on the balance of uncertain tax positions or the impact on the effective tax rate related to these items.

Additional information on the Commitments and Contingencies of the Company can be found in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, which appears in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

11. Subsequent Events

On April 9, 2014, the Company announced that Mars, Incorporated has agreed to buy the IAMS®, EUKANUBA® and NATURA® brands in major markets for $2.9 billion in cash.  The transaction is expected to be completed in the second-half of calendar 2014, subject to regulatory approvals.  The Company has also begun activities with the intent to exit the remainder of its Pet Care business.  The results of the Pet Care business will be presented as discontinued operations beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2014.  The earnings that will move to discontinued operations will be approximately $0.03 per share in fiscal 2013 and are expected to be approximately $0.04 per share in fiscal 2014.  The one-time earnings impact from the divestiture is not expected to have a material impact on fiscal 2015 results.   

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this report, including without limitation, the following sections: “Management's Discussion and Analysis,” and “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled "Economic Conditions, Challenges and Risks" and the section titled “Risk Factors” (Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q). We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The purpose of the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is to provide an understanding of Procter & Gamble's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by focusing on changes in certain key measures from year to year. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. MD&A is organized in the following sections:

• Overview

• Summary of Results - Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014

• Economic Conditions, Challenges and Risks

• Results of Operations – Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014

• Business Segment Discussion – Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014

• Financial Condition

• Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance, including unit volume growth, net sales and net earnings. We also refer to a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), including organic sales growth, core net earnings per share (EPS), free cash flow and free cash flow productivity. Organic sales growth is net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures. Core EPS is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding certain items that are not judged to be part of the Company's sustainable results or trends. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital spending. Free cash flow productivity is the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. We believe these measures provide investors with important information that is useful in understanding our business results and trends. The explanation at the end of MD&A provides more details on the use and the derivation of these measures.

Management also uses certain market share and market consumption estimates to evaluate performance relative to competition despite some limitations on the availability and comparability of share and consumption information. References to market share and market consumption in MD&A are based on a combination of vendor-reported consumption and market size data, as well as internal estimates. All market share references represent the percentage of sales in dollar terms on a constant currency basis of our products, relative to all product sales in the category.

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

OVERVIEW

We are a global leader in retail goods focused on providing branded consumer packaged goods of superior quality and value to our consumers around the world. Our products are sold in more than 180 countries and territories primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, salons, high-frequency stores and distributors. We continue to expand our presence in other channels, such as perfumeries and e-commerce. We have on-the-ground operations in approximately 70 countries.

Our market environment is highly competitive with global, regional and local competitors. In many of the markets and industry segments in which we sell our products, we compete against other branded products as well as retailers' private-label brands. Additionally, many of the product segments in which we compete are differentiated by price tiers (referred to as super-premium, premium, mid-tier and value-tier products). We are well positioned in the industry segments and markets in which we operate, often holding a leadership or significant market share position.

Effective July 1, 2013, the Company implemented a number of changes to our Global Business Unit (GBU) structure, which resulted in changes to our reportable segments.  We organized our GBUs into four industry-based sectors comprised of 1) Global Beauty, 2) Global Health and Grooming, 3) Global Fabric and Home Care, and 4) Global Baby, Feminine and Family Care. Under U.S. GAAP, the GBUs underlying these sectors are aggregated into five reportable segments: 1) Beauty, 2) Grooming, 3) Health Care, 4) Fabric Care and Home Care, and 5) Baby, Feminine and Family Care. As a result of the organizational changes, Feminine Care transitioned from Health Care to Baby, Feminine and Family Care, and Pet Care transitioned from Fabric Care and Home Care to Health Care.

The table below provides more information about the components of our reportable business segment structure.

Reportable Segment	GBUs (Categories)	Billion Dollar Brands
Beauty	Beauty Care (Antiperspirant and Deodorant, Cosmetics, Personal Cleansing, Skin Care); Hair Care and Color; Prestige (SK-II, Fragrances); Salon Professional	Head & Shoulders, Olay, Pantene, SK-II, Wella
Grooming	Shave Care (Blades and Razors, Pre- and Post-Shave Products); Braun	Fusion, Gillette, Mach3, Prestobarba
Health Care	Personal Health Care (Gastrointestinal, Rapid Diagnostics, Respiratory, Other Personal Health Care, Vitamins/Minerals/Supplements); Oral Care (Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Other Oral Care); Pet Care	Crest, Iams, Oral-B, Vicks
Fabric Care and Home Care	Fabric Care (Bleach and Laundry Additives, Fabric Enhancers, Laundry Detergents); Home Care (Air Care, Dish Care, Surface Care); Personal Power (Batteries); Professional	Ace, Ariel, Dawn, Downy, Duracell, Febreze, Gain, Tide
Baby, Feminine and Family Care	Baby Care (Baby Wipes, Diapers and Pants); Feminine Care (Feminine Care, Incontinence); Family Care (Paper Towels, Tissues, Toilet Paper)	Always, Bounty, Charmin, Pampers

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

Following are highlights of results for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 versus the nine months ended March 31, 2013:

• Net sales increased 1% versus the previous year to $64.0 billion. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange, were up 3%.

• Unit volume increased 4%. Volume grew mid-single digits for Fabric Care and Home Care. Volume increased low single digits for Baby, Feminine and Family Care; Beauty; Grooming; and Health Care.

• Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble were $9.1 billion, a decrease of $373 million, or 4% versus the prior year period. This was primarily driven by an increase of approximately $400 million in non-core items including a prior year $623 million holding gain resulting from P&G's purchase of the balance of its Baby Care and Feminine Care joint venture in Iberia, partially offset by a $232 million after tax reduction in restructuring charges.

• Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 3% to $3.12.

• Core net earnings per share, which excludes incremental restructuring charges, the balance sheet impact of a devaluation of the foreign exchange rate in Venezuela, certain legal charges for pending European legal matters and the base period holding gain from the joint venture in Iberia, increased 1% to $3.30.

• Operating cash flow was $9.5 billion. Free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures, was $6.8 billion. Free cash flow productivity, which is the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings, was 75%.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, CHALLENGES AND RISKS

Ability to Achieve Business Plans. We are a consumer products company and rely on continued demand for our brands and products. To achieve business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to consumers and retail trade customers. Our continued success is dependent on leading-edge innovation with respect to both products and operations, the continued positive reputations of our brands and our ability to successfully maintain patent and trademark protection. This means we must be able to obtain patents and trademarks, and respond to technological advances and patents granted to competition. Our success is also dependent on effective sales, advertising and marketing programs. Our ability to innovate and execute in these areas will determine the extent to which we are able to grow existing sales and volume profitably, especially with respect to the product categories and geographic markets (including developing markets) in which we have chosen to focus. There are high levels of competitive activity in the environments in which we operate. To address these challenges, we must respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives, trade terms and product initiatives. We must manage each of these factors, as well as maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our key customers, in order to effectively compete and achieve our business plans. As a company that manages a portfolio of consumer brands, our ongoing business model involves a certain level of ongoing acquisition, divestiture and joint venture activities. We must be able to successfully manage the impacts of these activities, while at the same time delivering against base business objectives. Daily conduct of our business also depends on our ability to maintain key information technology systems, including systems operated by third-party suppliers, and to maintain security over our data.

Cost Pressures. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, raw materials, labor costs, foreign exchange and interest rates. Therefore, our success is dependent, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects, sourcing decisions and certain hedging transactions, as well as through consistent productivity improvements. We also must manage our debt and currency exposure, especially in certain countries with currency exchange, import authorization and pricing controls, such as Venezuela, Argentina, China, India, and Egypt. We need to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including sole supplier and sole manufacturing plant arrangements, and successfully manage any disruptions at Company manufacturing sites. We must implement, achieve and sustain cost improvement plans, including our outsourcing projects and those related to general overhead and workforce optimization. Successfully managing these changes, including identifying, developing and retaining key employees, is critical to our success.

Global Economic Conditions. Demand for our products has a correlation to global macroeconomic factors. The current macroeconomic factors remain dynamic. Economic changes, terrorist activity, political unrest and natural disasters may result in business interruption, inflation, deflation, lack of market growth or decreased demand for our products. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage continued global political and/or economic uncertainty, especially in our significant geographic markets. We could also be negatively impacted by a global, regional or national economic crisis, including sovereign risk in the event of a deterioration in the credit worthiness of or a default by local governments, resulting in a disruption of credit markets. Such events could negatively impact our ability to collect receipts due from governments, including refunds of value added taxes, create significant credit risks relative to our local customers and depository institutions, and/or negatively impact our overall liquidity.

Regulatory Environment. Changes in laws, regulations and the related interpretations may alter the environment in which we do business. This includes changes in environmental, competitive and product-related laws, as well as changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements. Our ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters (including, but not limited to, product liability, patent, intellectual property, competition law matters and tax policy) and to resolve pending legal matters within current estimates may impact our results.

For information on risk factors that could impact our results, please refer to Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Net Sales

Net sales were flat at $20.6 billion for the third quarter on a 3% increase in unit volume versus the prior year period. Fabric Care and Home Care volume grew mid-single digits. Health Care and Grooming volume grew low single digits. Baby, Feminine and Family Care and Beauty volume was unchanged. Volume increased low single digits in developed regions and grew mid-single digits in developing regions. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 3%. Organic sales grew 3% driven by the unit volume increase. A 1% impact from higher pricing was offset by a 1% impact from unfavorable geographic and product mix due to higher relative growth of developing regions, which have lower than average selling prices and of lower priced product categories, such as Fabric Care and Baby Care.

* Other includes the sales mix impact from acquisitions/divestitures and rounding impacts necessary to reconcile volume to net sales.

Operating Costs

Gross margin contracted 140 basis points to 48.4% of net sales for the quarter. The decrease in gross margin was driven primarily by a 100 basis point impact from unfavorable foreign exchange and about 150 basis point impact from unfavorable geographic and product mix, partially offset by manufacturing cost savings of about 200 basis points. The unfavorable geographic and product mix was caused by disproportionate growth in developing regions and the Fabric Care and Home Care segment, which have lower gross margins than the Company average. Gross margin was also reduced to a lesser extent by capacity investments and higher commodity and restructuring costs, partially offset by higher pricing.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 5% to $6.5 billion due to reductions in marketing and overhead spending. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 170 basis points to 31.6%, primarily behind 130 basis points of lower marketing spending. Overhead productivity savings of 50 basis points was partially offset by an increase in wages primarily in developing regions.

Non-Operating Expenses and Income

Interest expense was $179 million for the quarter, an increase of $16 million versus the prior year period due to an increase in debt outstanding, partially offset by lower interest rates on floating rate debt. Interest income was $29 million for the quarter, an increase of $8 million versus the prior year due to an increase in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities. Other non-operating income decreased $5 million to $20 million.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate decreased 40 basis points to 20.8%. The current year rate was reduced by 330 basis points due to a favorable geographic mix of earnings. The current year was also reduced by approximately 90 basis points due to the net impact of favorable discrete adjustments related to uncertain income tax positions (which netted to 170 basis points in the current year versus 80 basis points in the prior year). These decreases were partially offset by a prior year 150 basis point impact from reflecting the fiscal year to date impact of the U.S. corporate tax law changes made in early January 2013 and a 220 basis point increase due to the tax impacts of the Venezuela devaluations (which decreased the prior year rate by 110 basis points and increased the current year rate by 110 basis points).

Net Earnings

Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased $43 million or 2% to $2.6 billion for the quarter. The increase was primarily due to an operating margin expansion of 30-basis points. Operating margin increased due to the reduction in SG&A partially offset by the gross margin contraction. Foreign exchange reduced net earnings by about $350 million for the quarter. Diluted net earnings per share increased 2% to $0.90. Core net earnings per share increased 5% to $1.04. Core net earnings per share for the quarter represents diluted net earnings per share excluding incremental restructuring charges in both periods

related to our productivity and cost savings plan and charges in both periods related to the balance sheet impact of a devaluation of the foreign exchange rate in Venezuela.

Foreign Currency Translation – Venezuela Impacts

Venezuela is a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Venezuela. Any currency remeasurement adjustments for non-dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by these subsidiaries and other transactional foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings. For the current fiscal year, Venezuela represented approximately 1% of the Company’s consolidated Net sales and Operating profit excluding the impact of the remeasurement charge discussed below.

Through December 31, 2013, the Venezuelan government had established one official exchange rate for qualifying dividends and imported goods and services. Transactions at the official exchange rate are subject to approval by CENCOEX (National Center for External Commerce), previously CADIVI (Foreign Exchange Administrative Commission). Effective February 9, 2013 the Venezuelan government devalued its currency from 4.3 to 6.3 Venezuelan bolivares fuerte (VEF) per dollar. The remeasurement of our local balance sheets to reflect this devaluation in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 resulted in an after tax charge of $236 million ($0.08 per share).  Through December 31, 2013, our results in Venezuela were reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements at the official CADIVI rate, which was the rate we expected to be applicable to dividend repatriations.

In addition to the preferential CENCOEX/CADIVI exchange rate, there are and have been parallel exchange markets controlled by the Central Bank of Venezuela as the only legal intermediary to execute foreign exchange transactions outside of CENCOEX. Through December 31, 2013, various regulations and a limited notional amount of transactions that ran through these programs essentially eliminated the Company's ability to access any foreign exchange rate other than the preferential rate to pay for imported goods and/or manage our local monetary asset balances. Accordingly, all of our net monetary assets were measured at the preferential 6.3 exchange rate through December 31, 2013.

On January, 24, 2014, the government made a number of announcements affecting currency exchange rate and other controls. The preferential CENCOEX exchange rate remains at 6.3 VEF per dollar. In addition, while there is considerable uncertainty as to the nature of transactions that will flow through CENCOEX and how CENCOEX will operate in the future, the Company believes that a significant portion of its imports will continue to qualify for the preferential rate. However, the importation of certain finished goods and raw materials for some product categories, along with the payment of dividends and royalties, will be executed under the SICAD (Complementary System for Foreign Exchange Administration) program. SICAD is an auction-based exchange program. The Company expects to be able to access the SICAD program for dividends and other transactions. The rate available through SICAD was 11.7 VEF per dollar in January 2014, and was 10.8 VEF per dollar at March 31, 2014. The Company incurred an after tax charge of $275 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to remeasure certain portions of our local Venezuela balance sheets not qualifying for the preferential CENCOEX rate to the initial SICAD exchange rate. In late March 2014, the government introduced a third exchange mechanism, referred to as SICAD II, which is also an auction-based program. The Company does not expect to access SICAD II. Accordingly, the underlying SICAD II exchange rates have not been utilized for purposes of remeasuring or translating our Venezuela results.

There will be ongoing financial impacts related to the translation of certain elements of local financial statements at the SICAD exchange rate. This includes the importation of certain finished products and raw materials, intercompany royalties and residual earnings that do not qualify for the preferential exchange rate. We estimate these impacts will reduce fiscal year earnings by approximately $30 million, most of which will impact the fourth quarter. Because the SICAD rate fluctuates based on auctions that occur periodically during each quarter, the potential exists for additional impacts if the auction rate changes significantly. There could also be additional financial impacts if the SICAD rate becomes applicable to additional categories of imports or other types of currency transactions.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had net monetary assets denominated in local currency of approximately $920 million. Approximately $600 million of that amount is expected to be utilized to satisfy liabilities for past imports that were approved under CENCOEX and are measured at the preferential 6.3 rate. The remaining balance has been measured at the SICAD rate. Local currency net monetary balances were unchanged versus June 30, 2013 primarily due to earnings in Venezuela, the timing of CENCOEX payments and an increase in the net amount of indirect value added taxes (VAT) receivable from the government from goods receipts and shipments, offset by the remeasurement of balances from the preferential CENCOEX rate to the SICAD rate.

Other controls imposed by the Venezuelan government include import authorization controls, currency exchange and payment controls, price controls and recently enacted profit margin controls. The ongoing impact of the recent announcements and our ability to restore net sales and profit to levels achieved prior to the recent devaluations will be impacted by several factors.  These include our ability to mitigate the effect of the price and profit margin controls, any potential future devaluation of the preferential CENCOEX exchange rate, any significant change in the auction exchange rates or liquidity in the SICAD program, any further Venezuelan government price or exchange controls, economic conditions and the availability of raw materials and utilities.  In addition, depending on the future availability of U.S. dollars at the preferential rate, our local U.S. dollar needs, our overall repatriation plans, including our ability to obtain government approval for the payment of dividends, which has been limited in recent years, the creditworthiness of the local depository institutions and other creditors and our ability to collect amounts due from customers and the government, including VAT receivables, we may have exposure for our local monetary assets.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 1% to $64.0 billion fiscal year to date on a 4% increase in unit volume versus the prior year period. Organic volume increased 3%. Fabric Care and Home Care volume grew mid-single digits. Baby, Feminine and Family Care, Beauty, Grooming and Health Care volume grew low single digits. Volume increased low single digits in developed regions and grew mid-single digits in developing regions. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 3%. Organic sales grew 3% driven by the unit volume increase. A 1% impact from higher pricing was offset by a 1% impact from unfavorable geographic and product mix due to higher relative growth of developing regions, which have lower than average selling prices, and of lower priced product categories such as Fabric Care and Baby Care.

Operating Costs

Gross margin contracted 110 basis points to 49.2% of net sales fiscal year to date. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a 90-basis-point impact from unfavorable foreign exchange and a 140 basis point impact from unfavorable geographic and product mix, partially offset by manufacturing cost savings of 160 basis points. The unfavorable geographic and product mix was caused by disproportionate growth in developing regions, the Fabric Care and Home Care and Baby, Feminine and Family Care segments, which have lower gross margins than the Company average.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 4% to $19.3 billion primarily due to a reduction in restructuring and marketing spending. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 140 basis points to 30.2%. Lower restructuring spending drove 40 basis points of the decline. Marketing spending as a percentage of net sales decreased 90 basis points due to lower spending and scale benefits from increased net sales. Overhead productivity savings of 40 basis points and scale benefits from increased net sales were partially offset by an increase in wages, primarily in developing regions.

Non-Operating Expenses and Income

Interest expense was $531 million fiscal year to date, an increase of $27 million versus the prior year period due to an increase in debt outstanding, partially offset by lower interest rates on floating rate debt. Interest income was $73 million fiscal year to date, an increase of $14 million versus the prior year due to an increase in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities. Other non-operating income decreased $861 million to $68 million due to prior year acquisition and divestiture activities, including a $631 million holding gain resulting from P&G's purchase of the balance of its Baby Care and Feminine Care joint venture in Iberia and a $247 million gain from the divestiture of our Italy bleach business.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate decreased 70 basis points to 22.1%.  The current year rate was reduced by 250 basis points due to a favorable geographic mix of earnings. The decrease was partially offset by a 70 basis point increase due to the tax impacts of the Venezuela devaluations (which decreased the prior year rate by 30 basis points and increased the current year rate by 40 basis points) and a 130 basis point increase due to the prior year tax impacts on gains from the purchase of the balance of the Baby Care and Feminine Care joint venture in Iberia and the sale of the bleach business in Italy.

Net Earnings

Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble decreased $373 million or 4% to $9.1 billion fiscal year to date. The decrease was due to the reduction in non-operating income, which reduced earnings by approximately 9%. Operating income increased 3% due to the increase in net sales and the reduction in SG&A, partially offset by the gross margin contraction. Foreign exchange reduced net earnings by about $920 million fiscal year to date. Diluted net earnings per share decreased 3% to $3.12. Core net earnings per share increased 1% to $3.30. Core net earnings per share represents diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding incremental restructuring charges in both periods related to our productivity and cost savings

plan, charges in both periods related to the balance sheet impact of devaluations of the foreign exchange rate in Venezuela, prior year charges for European legal matters and the prior year gain on the buyout of the Iberian joint venture.

Global market share of the feminine care category decreased less than half a point. Volume in Family Care decreased low single digits due to competitive activity. In the U.S., all-outlet share of the family care category decreased more than a point. Net earnings decreased 10% to $725 million due to the decrease in net sales and a 130-basis point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin decreased due to a lower gross margin, which was driven by the impact of foreign exchange and unfavorable product and geographic mix due to a disproportionate growth in developing regions and mid-tier products, both of which have lower gross margins than the segment average.

Nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared with ninemonths ended March 31, 2013

Baby, Feminine and Family Care net sales increased 1% to $16.6 billion fiscal year to date on 3% volume growth. Organic sales were up 4%. Price increases primarily in Baby Care increased net sales by 1%. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 3%. Global market share of the Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment decreased 0.3 points. Volume increased low single digits in developed regions and mid-single digits in developing regions. Volume in Baby Care increased mid-single digits due to a mid-single digit increase in developing regions, from market growth and product innovation, and a low single-digit increase in developed regions due to product innovation in North America. Global market share of the baby care category decreased less than half a point. Volume in Feminine Care increased low single-digits primarily due to product innovation and market growth in developing regions. Global market share of the feminine care category decreased nearly half a point. Volume in Family Care increased low single digits due to product innovation on Charmin and Bounty and lower pricing. In the U.S., all-outlet share of the family care category decreased less than half point. Net earnings decreased 5% to $2.2 billion as the increase in net sales was more than offset by a 90-basis point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin decreased primarily due to gross margin contraction. Gross margin decreased due to the impact of foreign exchange and unfavorable product and geographic mix due to a disproportionate growth in developing regions and mid-tier products, both of which have lower gross margins than the segment average.

Corporate

Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities not allocated to specific business units. These include: the incidental businesses managed at the corporate level; financing and investing activities; other general corporate items; the historical results of certain divested brands and categories; certain restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization; and certain significant impairment charges. Corporate also includes reconciling items to adjust the accounting policies used in the segments to U.S. GAAP. The most significant reconciling items include income taxes (to adjust from statutory rates that are reflected in the segments to the overall Company effective tax rate), noncontrolling interest adjustments for subsidiaries where we do not have 100% ownership and adjustments for unconsolidated entities (to eliminate net sales, cost of products sold and SG&A for entities that are consolidated in the segments but accounted for using the equity method for U.S. GAAP). Since certain unconsolidated entities and less-than-100%-owned subsidiaries are managed as integral parts of the Company, they are accounted for similar to a wholly-owned subsidiary for management and segment purposes. This means our segment results recognize 100% of each income statement component through before-tax earnings in the segments, with eliminations for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests in Corporate. In determining segment net earnings, we apply the statutory tax rates (with adjustments to arrive at the Company's effective tax rate in Corporate). We also eliminate the share of earnings applicable to other ownership interests.

Corporate net sales primarily reflect the adjustment to eliminate the net sales of unconsolidated entities included in business segment results. Accordingly, Corporate net sales are generally a negative balance. Negative net sales in Corporate decreased by

$85 million in the third fiscal quarter and $212 million fiscal year to date due to 1) the buy-out of our Iberian joint venture partner (after which this business is consolidated for both segment and consolidated results and the underlying sales no longer need to be eliminated) and 2) smaller adjustments required to eliminate reduced sales of the remaining unconsolidated entities. Corporate net expense decreased $54 million in the third fiscal quarter primarily due to a reduction in overhead costs as a higher proportion of the costs were allocated to the businesses. Corporate net income decreased $367 million fiscal year to date primarily due to the holding gain in the prior year periods from the buyout of our Iberian joint venture partner, partially offset by lower restructuring spending in the year to date period. Additional discussion of the items impacting net earnings in Corporate are included in the Results of Operations section.

Productivity and Cost Savings Plan

In February and November 2012, the Company made announcements related to productivity and cost savings plans to reduce costs and better leverage scale in the areas of supply chain, research and development, marketing and overheads.   The plan was designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes to fund the Company's growth strategy. 

As part of this plan, the Company expects to incur in excess of $3.5 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a five-year period (from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2016). Approximately $2 billion of the estimated costs have been incurred through fiscal year 2013, with an additional $500 million incurred through the first three quarters of fiscal 2014. Savings generated from the restructuring costs are difficult to estimate, given the nature of the activities, the corollary benefits achieved, the timing of the execution and the degree of reinvestment.  Overall, the costs are expected to deliver in excess of $2 billion in before-tax annual savings.  The cumulative before-tax savings as of the current year are expected to be approximately $1.3 - $1.6 billion.  Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the resulting charges are funded by and included within Corporate for segment reporting. 

Refer to Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on the restructuring program.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Operating Activities

We generated $9.5 billion of cash from operating activities fiscal year to date, a decrease of $1.0 billion versus the prior year. Net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, deferred income taxes, and gain on sale of businesses), generated $11.6 billion of operating cash flow. This was partially offset by working capital increases. On a fiscal year-to-date basis, the net of accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities consumed $2.4 billion of cash. Accounts receivable generated $150 million of cash due to a reduction in days sales outstanding. Inventory consumed $355 million of cash, mainly to support product initiatives. Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities consumed $1.2 billion of cash due to the payment of prior year marketing accruals, which were higher than historical levels due to increased marketing and advertising expenses late in the year. Other operating assets and liabilities consumed $1.0 billion of cash due to a discretionary cash contribution of approximately $1.0 billion to the Company's German defined benefit pension plan.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities was $2.7 billion fiscal year to date, a decrease of $2.0 billion versus the prior year period due to prior year acquisition and divestiture activities and purchases of investment securities. Capital expenditures consumed $2.6 billion or 4.1% of net sales, as compared to $2.4 billion in the prior year period. We also used $161 million of cash in the current year for other investing activities.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities consumed net cash of $4.5 billion. We used $5.5 billion for treasury stock purchases and $5.1 billion for dividends and partially funded these cash outlays through a $4.5 billion net increase in debt. Additionally, the impact of stock options exercised generated $1.5 billion of cash.

As of March 31, 2014, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4.0 billion. We have short- and long-term debt to fund discretionary items such as acquisitions and share repurchase programs. We anticipate being able to support our short-term liquidity and operating needs largely through cash generated from operations. We have strong short- and long-term debt ratings that have

enabled and should continue to enable us to refinance our debt as it becomes due at favorable rates in commercial paper and bond markets. In addition, we have agreements with a diverse group of financial institutions that, if needed, should provide sufficient credit funding to meet short-term financing requirements.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Our discussion of financial results includes several measures not defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe these measures provide our investors with additional information about the underlying results and trends of the Company, as well as insight to some of the metrics used to evaluate management. When used in MD&A, we have provided the comparable GAAP measure in the discussion.

Organic Sales Growth: Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this provides investors with a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Organic sales growth is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation.

The reconciliation of reported sales growth to organic sales for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014:

January 2014 - March 2014	Net Sales Growth		Foreign Exchange Impact		Acquisition/ Divestiture Impact*		Organic Sales Growth
Beauty	(2	)%	3	%	1	%	2	%

Core EPS: This is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share excluding certain items that are not judged to be part of the Company's sustainable results or trends. This includes current year and prior year charges related to incremental restructuring due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings, current year and prior year charges for the balance sheet impacts from a devaluation of the foreign exchange rate in Venezuela, the prior year gain on the buyout of the Iberian joint venture, and prior year charges related to pending European legal matters. We do not view these items to be part of our sustainable results. We believe the Core EPS measure provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year earnings per share growth. Core EPS is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The table below provides a reconciliation of reported diluted net earnings per share to Core EPS:

Three Months Ended March 31	2014			2013
Diluted Net Earnings Per Share	$	0.90		$	0.88
Incremental Restructuring Charges	0.04			0.03
Venezuela balance sheet devaluation impacts	0.10			0.08
CORE EPS	$	1.04		$	0.99
Core EPS Growth	5		%

Nine Months Ended March 31	2014			2013
Diluted Net Earnings Per Share	$	3.12		$	3.22
Incremental Restructuring Charges	0.09			0.16
Venezuela balance sheet devaluation impacts	0.09			0.08
Gain on buyout of Iberian Joint Venture	—			(0.21		)
Charges for Pending European Legal Matters	—			0.01
Rounding impacts	—			0.01
CORE EPS	$	3.30		$	3.27
Core EPS Growth	1		%

Note - All reconciling items are presented net of tax. Tax effects are calculated consistent with the nature of the underlying transaction. There was no tax impact on EPS due to the charges for pending European legal matters.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in determining the amount of cash available for dividends and discretionary investment.

Free Cash Flow Productivity: Free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. The Company’s long-term target is to generate free cash flow at or above 90% of net earnings. Free cash flow productivity is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The reconciliation of free cash flow and free cash flow productivity is provided below (amounts in millions):

	Operating Cash Flow	Capital Spending	Free Cash  Flow	Net Earnings	Free Cash  Flow Productivity
Jul - Mar '14	$9,452	$(2,607)	$6,845	$9,165	75%
