P&G reports USD 19.8B sales in Q3 2025 amid challenging market
This reflects a 2% sales decrease as compared to the previous year’s performance.
USA – The Procter & Gamble Company, an American multinational consumer goods corporation, has announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, reporting net sales of USD 19.8 billion.
This reflects a 2% sales decrease as compared to the previous year’s performance.
Diluted and core net earnings per share were USD 1.54, each an increase of 1% versus the prior year.
Operating cash flow was USD 3.7 billion, and net earnings were USD 3.8 billion for the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 75%.
Jon Moeller, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer at P&G, stated, “We delivered modest organic sales and EPS growth this quarter in a challenging and volatile consumer and geopolitical environment.”
Beauty segment organic sales rose by 2%, with gains in Personal Care and pricing offsets in Hair and Skin Care, while Skin Care saw slight declines due to lower volumes and geographic mix.
Grooming segment organic sales saw a 3% rise, driven by volume growth and higher pricing in Latin America, Europe, and North America.
Oral Care organic sales rose slightly on a premium product mix despite volume declines.
Organic sales for Baby, Feminine, and Family Care segments fell 1% year-over-year, with declines driven by volume and product mix challenges across categories.
Organic sales for the Fabric and Home Care segment remained flat year-over-year.
P&G forecasts the FY25 all-in sales to be consistent with the prior year, with organic sales growth of approximately 2%.
The company expects diluted earnings per share to grow by 6-8% and core earnings per share to increase by 2-4% compared to fiscal 2024.
It anticipates challenges from commodity costs, unfavorable foreign exchange rates, and reduced benefits from prior brand divestitures, contributing to slight headwinds for core EPS.
Capital spending is projected at 4-5% of net sales, with plans for dividend payments of around USD 10 billion and share repurchases worth USD 6-7 billion, alongside a 90% adjusted free cash flow productivity.
Moeller added, “We remain committed to our integrated growth strategy of a focused product portfolio of daily use categories where performance drives brand choice, superiority across product performance, packaging, brand communication, retail execution and consumer and customer value, productivity, constructive disruption and an agile and accountable organization.”
