“We delivered very strong top-line growth and made sequential progress on earnings in the face of significant cost headwinds,” said Jon Moeller, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These results keep us on track to deliver our earnings outlook and to raise estimates for sales growth, cash productivity and cash return to shareowners. Our focus remains on the strategies of superiority, productivity, constructive disruption and continually improving P&G’s organization structure and culture. These strategies have enabled us to build and sustain strong momentum. They remain the right strategies to deliver balanced growth and value creation.”
October - December Quarter Discussion
Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $21.0 billion, a six percent increase versus the prior year. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures also increased six percent. The increase in organic sales was driven by a three percent increase in shipment volumes and three percentage points of increased pricing to help offset the significant commodity and other input cost increases. Mix was neutral to net sales growth.

(1)Net sales percentage changes are approximations based on quantitative formulas that are consistently applied.
(2)Other includes the sales mix impact from acquisitions and divestitures and rounding impacts necessary to reconcile volume to net sales.
•Beauty segment organic sales increased two percent versus year ago. Skin and Personal Care organic sales increased low single digits primarily driven by volume growth in Personal Care due to innovation, market growth and pricing, partially offset by negative product mix. Hair Care organic sales increased low single digits primarily driven by increased pricing.
•Grooming segment organic sales increased five percent versus year ago. Shave Care organic sales increased mid-single digits primarily due to volume growth, increased pricing and positive product and geographic mix from growth in developed markets. Appliances organic sales increased mid-single digits due to increased pricing and positive mix driven by the growth of premium shavers and stylers. This was partially offset by lower volumes versus a high base period which benefited from a pandemic-related consumption surge of in-home shavers and stylers.
•Health Care segment organic sales increased eight percent versus year ago. Oral Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by positive mix from a higher proportion of premium paste and whitening products and innovation-based price increases. Personal Health Care organic sales increased about 20% due primarily to growth in respiratory products due to a more intense cough/cold/flu season
versus the prior year. Each region delivered double digit organic sales growth for the quarter in Personal Health Care.
•Fabric and Home Care segment organic sales increased eight percent versus year ago. Fabric Care organic sales increased double digits led by strong growth of unit dose detergents and fabric enhancers. Home Care organic sales increased low single digits due to increased pricing and increased volume from innovation versus a high base period which also benefited from strong pandemic-related consumption of home cleaning products.
•Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales increased five percent versus year ago. Baby Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by increased pricing, market growth and positive product mix from the growth of premium taped and pant-style diapers. Feminine Care organic sales increased double digits driven by commodity-based price increases, innovation and positive geographic and product mix. Family Care organic sales were in-line with prior year as pricing benefits were offset by unfavorable mix and lower volumes versus pandemic-related consumption increases in the base period.
Diluted net earnings per share were $1.66 for the quarter, a 13% increase versus the prior year GAAP EPS which included a charge for the early extinguishment of debt. Diluted net EPS increased one percent versus the prior year Core EPS, driven by an increase in net sales and a reduction in shares outstanding, partially offset by a reduction in operating margin caused by higher commodity and freight costs as anticipated. Currency-neutral net EPS were up two percent versus the prior year Core EPS.
Gross margin for the quarter decreased 400 basis points versus year ago, 410 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. Reductions in gross margin were driven by 400 basis points of higher commodity costs, 140 basis points driven by negative product mix, 60 basis points from increased freight costs, and 20 basis points of product/package reinvestments. These were partially offset by 130 basis points of benefit from increased pricing and 80 basis points of gross productivity savings.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of sales decreased 150 basis points versus the prior year, 170 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. The decrease was driven by 150
basis points of cost leverage benefit from increased sales and 70 basis points of gross productivity savings from overhead and marketing expenses, partially offset by 50 basis points of marketing spending and overhead investments net of other impacts.
Operating margin for the quarter decreased 250 basis points versus the prior year, 240 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. Operating margin included gross productivity cost savings of 150 basis points.
Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance
P&G raised its outlook for fiscal 2022 all-in sales growth from a range of two to four percent to a range of three to four percent versus the prior fiscal year. The Company also raised its guidance for organic sales growth from a range of two to four percent to a range of four to five percent. Foreign exchange is now expected to be a one percentage point headwind to all-in sales growth for the fiscal year.
P&G confirmed its outlook for fiscal 2022 GAAP diluted net earnings per share growth in the range of six to nine percent versus fiscal 2021 GAAP EPS of $5.50. The Company continues to expect core earnings per share growth for fiscal 2022 in the range of three to six percent versus fiscal 2021 Core EPS of $5.66.
The Company said its current fiscal 2022 outlook includes headwinds of $2.3 billion after-tax from higher commodity costs, $300 million after-tax from higher freight costs and $200 million after-tax from negative foreign exchange impacts. Combined, these items are a $2.8 billion after-tax headwind, or approximately $1.10 per share, to fiscal 2022 earnings versus fiscal 2021.
The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP cash flow measure and tax rate measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company cannot predict the timing and amounts of discrete cash items, such as acquisitions, divestitures, or impairments, which could significantly impact GAAP results.
P&G continues to estimate a core effective tax rate in the range of 18% to 19% in fiscal 2022.
Capital spending is estimated to be in the range of four percent to five percent of fiscal 2022 net sales.
P&G increased its outlook for adjusted free cash flow productivity to 95% and now expects to pay over $8 billion in dividends and repurchase $9 billion to $10 billion of common shares in fiscal 2022. Combined, P&G now plans to return $17 billion to $18 billion of cash to shareowners in the fiscal year.

The Procter & Gamble Company
Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Measures
The following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in Procter & Gamble's January 19, 2022 earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful perspective on underlying business trends and provide a supplemental measure of period-to-period financial results. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. Certain of these measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP cash flow and tax rate measures because the Company cannot predict the timing and amounts of discrete items such as acquisition and divestitures, which could significantly impact GAAP results.
The Core earnings measures included in the following reconciliation tables refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for the following items:
Early debt extinguishment charges: In the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded after tax charges of $427 million ($512 million before tax) due to early extinguishment of certain long-term debt. These charges represent the difference between the reacquisition price and the par value of the debt extinguished.
We do not view the above item to be part of our sustainable results and its exclusion from Core earnings measures provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year results. This item is also excluded when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation.
Organic sales growth: Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. This measure is used in assessing achievement of management goals for at-risk compensation.
Currency-neutral operating profit margin: Currency-neutral operating profit margin is a measure of the Company's operating margin excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Currency-neutral gross margin: Currency-neutral gross margin is a measure of the Company's gross margin excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Currency-neutral selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a percentage of net sales: Current-neutral SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales is a measure of the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company's operating efficiency over time.
Core EPS: Core earnings per share, or Core EPS, is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share adjusted as indicated. Management views this non-GAAP measure as a useful supplemental measure of Company performance over time. This measure is also used when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation.
Currency-neutral EPS: Currency-neutral EPS is a measure of the Company's EPS excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management views this non-GAAP measure as a useful supplemental measure of Company performance over time.
Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. Adjusted free cash flow represents the cash that the Company is able to generate after taking into account planned maintenance and asset expansion. Management views adjusted free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor used in determining the amount of cash available for dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions and other discretionary investments.
Adjusted free cash flow productivity: Adjusted free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings. Management views adjusted free cash flow productivity as a useful measure to help investors understand P&G’s ability to generate cash. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for budget planning purposes. This measure is also used in assessing the achievement of management goals
for at-risk compensation. The Company's long-term target is to generate annual adjusted free cash flow productivity at or above 90%.
