“We delivered solid results in our first quarter of fiscal 2022 in a challenging cost and operating environment,” said David Taylor, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These results keep us on track to deliver our top-line, bottom-line and cash targets for the fiscal year. We remain focused on executing our strategies of superiority, productivity, constructive disruption and continually improving P&G’s organization structure and culture. These strategies enabled us to build strong momentum before the COVID crisis and accelerate progress as we navigate through the crisis, and they remain the right strategies to deliver balanced growth and value creation.”
July - September Quarter Discussion
Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $20.3 billion, an increase of five percent versus the prior year. Favorable foreign exchange had a positive impact of one percentage point on sales for the quarter. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, organic sales increased four percent driven by a two percent increase in volume, a one percent increase in pricing and a positive mix impact of one percent. The volume increase was driven by strong consumer demand for superior products and innovation, partially offset by a high base period in some markets due to rebuilding of inventories by retailers. Positive mix was driven by the disproportionate volume growth of the North America region, the Health Care business and premium products, all of which have higher than company average selling prices.

(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. Hair Care organic sales increased low single digits due to pricing and favorable mix from premium innovation in treatments and conditioners. Skin and Personal Care organic sales increased low single digits primarily driven by pricing and higher volumes, partially offset by negative geographic mix.
•Grooming segment organic sales increased four percent versus year ago. Shave Care organic sales increased mid-single digits due to pricing and positive mix from premium innovation. Appliances organic sales decreased mid-single digits. Positive mix was more than offset by a volume decline versus a base period which benefited from increased consumption due to COVID.
•Health Care segment organic sales increased seven percent versus year ago. Oral Care organic sales increased low single digits due to positive geographic and premium product mix, partially offset by a
slight decline in shipment volumes. Personal Health Care organic sales increased double digits primarily due to market recovery of respiratory products, innovation and pricing in some markets.
•Fabric and Home Care segment organic sales increased five percent versus year ago. Fabric Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by innovation, pricing and mix. Positive mix was driven by disproportionate growth in North America and premium product forms. Home Care organic sales increased low single digits primarily due to pricing, partially offset by a base period that benefited from pandemic-related consumption increases in North America.
•Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales increased two percent versus year ago. Baby Care organic sales increased mid-single digits due to positive mix from the disproportionate growth of premium pants and taped diapers, pricing and innovation-driven volume growth. Feminine Care organic sales increased mid-single digits primarily driven by innovation, pricing and mix. Positive mix was driven by disproportionate growth in North America and premium products. Family Care organic sales decreased mid-single digits. Higher volumes were more than offset by increased promotional spending versus a base with historically low promotional activity and unfavorable mix due to larger pack sizes.
Diluted net earnings per share were $1.61 for the quarter, a one percent decrease versus the prior year due to a decrease in net earnings partially offset by a reduction in shares outstanding. Currency-neutral net EPS decreased three percent versus the prior year. Net earnings declined as the increase in net sales was more than offset by a reduction in operating margin due to higher commodity and freight costs as anticipated.
Gross margin for the quarter decreased 370 basis points versus year ago, 390 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. The decrease in gross margin was driven by 350 basis points of commodity cost increases, 80 basis points of unfavorable mix (primarily due to product and pack-size mix), 50 basis points of higher transportation costs and 60 basis points of product and packaging investments and other impacts. These decreases were partially offset by 100 basis points of gross manufacturing productivity savings (50 basis points net of higher transportation costs) and 50 basis points of pricing benefits.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of net sales decreased 100 basis points versus the prior year, 110 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. The decrease was driven by 100 basis points of cost leverage benefit from increased sales, 80 basis points of savings from overhead and marketing expenses and 40 basis points from a gain on the sale of real estate, partially offset by 90 basis points of marketing investments and 20 basis points of wage inflation net of other impacts.
Operating margin for the quarter decreased 260 basis points versus the prior year, 270 basis points on a currency-neutral basis. Operating margin included productivity cost savings of 180 basis points (130 basis points net of higher transportation costs).
Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance
P&G continues to expect fiscal year 2022 all-in sales growth in the range of two to four percent versus the prior fiscal year. Foreign exchange is now expected to be neutral to all-in sales growth. The Company also maintained its outlook for organic sales growth in the range of two to four percent.
P&G expects 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. Core earnings per share growth for fiscal 2022 is expected to be in the range of three to six percent versus fiscal 2021 core EPS of $5.66.
The Company said its current outlook estimates headwinds of $2.1 billion after-tax from higher commodity costs and an additional $200 million after-tax from higher freight costs. Foreign exchange is now expected to be approximately neutral to fiscal 2022 after-tax earnings. The approximately $2.3 billion after-tax combined impact of commodity and freight costs represents a $0.90 per share headwind to fiscal year 2022 EPS.
The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP cash flow 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 4% to 5% of fiscal 2022 net sales.
P&G maintained its outlook for adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90% and expects to pay over $8 billion in dividends and repurchase $7 billion to $9 billion of common shares in fiscal 2022.

The Procter & Gamble Company
Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Measures
The following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in Procter & Gamble's October 19, 2021 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 results. 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: 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.
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 measures 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 and excluding payments for the transitional tax resulting from the U.S. Tax Act (the Company incurred a transitional tax liability of approximately $3.8 billion in fiscal 2018 from the U.S. Tax Act of 2017, which is payable over a period of 8 years). 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 percent.
