THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
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, 2017. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of The Procter & Gamble Company and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Procter & Gamble," "P&G," "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
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This guidance outlines a single, comprehensive model for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. We plan to adopt the standard on July 1, 2018. While we are currently assessing the impact of the new standard, our revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single delivery element and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. The timing of revenue recognition is not materially impacted by the new standard. The provisions of the new standard may impact the classification of certain payments to customers, moving an immaterial amount of such payments from expense to a deduction from net sales. The impact would reduce net sales by less than 1%. We are still assessing the impact on financial disclosures related to the new standard. We do not expect this new guidance to have any other material impacts on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. We plan to adopt the standard on July 1, 2019. We are currently assessing the impact that the new standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross up of our operating leases to show equal and offsetting lease assets and lease liabilities.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring a goodwill impairment to be measured using a single step impairment model, whereby the impairment equals the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the specified reporting units in their entirety. This eliminates the second step of the current impairment model that requires companies to first estimate the fair value of all assets in a reporting unit and measure impairments based on those fair values and a residual measurement approach. It also specifies that any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We will adopt the standard no later than July 1, 2020. The impact of the new standard will be dependent on the specific facts and circumstances of future individual impairments, if any.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (Topic 715).” This guidance requires an entity to disaggregate the current service cost component from the other components of net benefit costs in the face of the income statement. It requires the service cost component to be presented with other current compensation costs for the related employees in the operating section of the income statement, with other components of net benefit cost presented outside of income from operations. We currently classify all net periodic pension costs within operating costs (as part of Cost of products sold and Selling, general and administrative expense). We will adopt the standard retrospectively no later than July 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This standard enables entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhances the transparency and understandability of hedge results through improved disclosures. The new standard is effective for us beginning July 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance was applied on a prospective basis. The primary impact of adoption is the required disclosure changes. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, including the cumulative-effect adjustment required upon adoption.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

| Beauty | | Grooming | | Health Care | | Fabric & Home Care | | Baby, Feminine & Family Care | | Total Company |
Goodwill at June 30, 2017 | $ | 12,791 |
| | $ | 19,627 |
| | $ | 5,878 |
| | $ | 1,857 |
| | $ | 4,546 |

Goodwill at September 30, 2017 | $ | 12,964 |
| | $ | 19,822 |
| | $ | 5,936 |
| | $ | 1,871 |
| | $ | 4,596 |
| | $ | 45,189 |
|
Goodwill increased from June 30, 2017 due to currency translation.
Identifiable intangible assets at September 30, 2017 are comprised of:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Gross Carrying Amount | | Accumulated Amortization |
Intangible assets with determinable lives | $ | 7,372 |
| | $ | (4,956 | ) |
Intangible assets with indefinite lives | 21,846 |
| | — |
|
Total identifiable intangible assets | $ | 29,218 |
| | $ | (4,956 | ) |
Intangible assets with determinable lives consist of brands, patents, technology and customer relationships. The intangible assets with indefinite lives consist of brands. The amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $77 and $89, respectively.
Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.
The test to evaluate goodwill for impairment is a two-step process. In the first step, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a second step to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. The second step of the impairment analysis requires a valuation of a reporting unit's tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. If the resulting implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying value, that difference represents an impairment.
The business unit valuations used to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment are dependent on a number of significant estimates and assumptions including macroeconomic conditions, overall category growth rates, competitive activities, cost containment, margin expansion and Company business plans. We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates that are used in our impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including discount and tax rates or future cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values.
Most of our goodwill reporting units are comprised of a combination of legacy and acquired businesses and as a result have fair value cushions that, at a minimum, exceed two times their underlying carrying values. Certain of our goodwill reporting units, in particular Shave Care and Appliances, are comprised entirely of acquired businesses and as a result have fair value cushions that are not as high. Both of these wholly acquired reporting units have fair value cushions that currently exceed the underlying carrying values. However, the Shave Care cushion, as well as the related Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset cushion, have been reduced to below 10% due in large part to an increased competitive market environment in the U.S., a deceleration of category growth caused by changing grooming habits and significant currency devaluations in a number of countries relative to the U.S. dollar that have occurred in recent years and resulted in reduced cash flow projections. As a result, this reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible asset are more susceptible to impairment risk.
The most significant assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair values of Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset are the residual net sales growth rate and discount rate. The residual growth rate represents the expected rate at which the reporting unit and Gillette brand are expected to grow beyond the shorter term business planning period. The residual growth rate utilized in our fair value estimates is consistent with the reporting unit and brand operating plans, and approximates expected long term category market growth rates. The residual growth rate is dependent on overall market growth rates, the competitive environment, inflation, relative currency exchange rates and business activities that impact market share. As a result, residual growth rate could be adversely impacted by a sustained deceleration in category growth, grooming habit changes, devaluation of currencies against the U.S. dollar or an increased competitive environment. The discount rate, which is consistent with a weighted average cost of capital that is likely to be expected by a market participant, is based upon industry required rates of return, including consideration of both debt and equity components of the capital structure. Our discount rate may be impacted by adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment, volatility in the equity and debt markets or other country specific factors such as further devaluation of currencies against the U.S. dollar. While management can and has implemented strategies to address these events, significant changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and could result in a decline in fair value that could trigger future impairment charges of the business unit's goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The carrying values of Shave Care goodwill and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset as of September 30, 2017 are $19.5 billion and $15.7 billion, respectively.
The table below provides a sensitivity analysis for the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite lived intangible asset, utilizing reasonably possible changes in the assumptions for the residual growth rate and the discount rate, to demonstrate the potential impacts to the estimated fair values. The table below provides, in isolation, the estimated fair value impacts related to a 50 basis point decrease to our residual growth rate or a 50 basis point increase to our discount rate.

5. Earnings Per Share
Basic net earnings per common share are calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble, less preferred dividends (net of related tax benefits), by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per common share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based awards and the assumed conversion of preferred stock.
Net earnings per share were 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 annually.
In fiscal 2017, the Company announced specific elements of a multi-year productivity and cost savings plan to further reduce costs in the areas of supply chain, certain marketing activities and overhead expenses. During fiscal years 2018 and 2019, the Company expects to incur approximately $1.2 billion in before-tax restructuring costs under the plan. This program is expected to result in meaningful incremental non-manufacturing enrollment reductions, along with further optimization of the supply chain and other manufacturing processes.
Restructuring costs incurred consist primarily of costs to separate employees, asset-related costs to exit facilities and other costs. For the three month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred total restructuring charges of approximately $157. Approximately $39 of these charges were recorded in SG&A and $118 of these charges were recorded in Cost of products sold. The following table presents restructuring activity for the three months ended September 30, 2017:

Separation Costs
Employee separation charges for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 relate to severance packages for approximately 480 employees. These severance packages included approximately 140 non-manufacturing employees. The packages were predominantly voluntary and the amounts were 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.
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 standardizations. 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 asset removal and termination of contracts related to supply chain optimization.
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, advertising, contracts, environmental, labor and employment and tax. With respect to these and 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 materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Income Tax Uncertainties
The Company is present in approximately 140 taxable jurisdictions and, at any point in time, has 50 – 60 jurisdictional 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 2008 and forward. We are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts 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 could increase or decrease within the next 12 months. 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017.
11. Discontinued Operations
On October 1, 2016, the Company completed the divestiture of four product categories to Coty, Inc. (“Coty”). The divestiture included 41 of the Company's beauty brands (“Beauty Brands”), including the global salon professional hair care and color, retail hair color, cosmetics and a majority of the fine fragrance businesses, along with select hair styling brands. The form of the divestiture transaction was a Reverse Morris Trust split-off, in which P&G shareholders were given the election to exchange their P&G shares for shares of a new corporation that held the Beauty Brands (Galleria Co.), and then immediately exchange those shares for Coty shares. The value P&G received in the transaction was $11.4 billion. The value was comprised of 105 million shares of common stock of the Company, which were tendered by shareholders of the Company and exchanged for the Galleria Co. shares, valued at approximately $9.4 billion, and the assumption of $1.9 billion of debt by Galleria Co. The shares tendered in the transaction were reflected as an addition to treasury stock and the cash received related to the debt assumed by Coty was

reflected as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company recorded an after-tax gain on the final transaction of $5.3 billion, net of transaction and related costs.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of the Beauty Brands business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Beauty Brands were historically part of the Company's Beauty reportable segment.

• | Reconciliation of Measures Not Defined by U.S. GAAP |
Throughout the 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 (Core EPS), free cash flow and free cash flow productivity. The explanation at the end of the MD&A provides the definition of these non-GAAP measures as well as 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 the 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.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Following are highlights of results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the three months ended September 30, 2016:
| |
• | Net sales increased 1% to $16.7 billion. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange, also increased 1%. Organic sales increased 5% in Beauty, 1% in Health Care and 2% in Fabric & Home Care. Organic sales declined 1% in Baby, Feminine & Family Care and 6% in Grooming. |
| |
• | Unit volume increased 1%, with organic volume also up 1%. Volume increased low single digits in Fabric & Home Care, was unchanged in Beauty and Health Care and decreased low single digits in Baby, Feminine & Family Care and Grooming segments. Excluding the impacts of minor brand divestitures, organic volume increased low single digits in Health Care and was unchanged in Baby, Feminine & Family Care. |
| |
• | Net earnings from continuing operations were $2.9 billion, unchanged versus the prior year period. A decrease in operating income due primarily to lower gross margin, was offset by an increase in non operating income, primarily due to an increase in gains from minor brand divestitures, an increase in interest income and a reduction in interest expense. |
| |
• | Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations increased 6% to $1.06 due primarily to reduced shares outstanding. |
| |
• | Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased 5% versus the prior year period to $2.9 billion. The base period included a loss from discontinued operations. |
| |
• | Core net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble, which excludes incremental restructuring charges, increased 1% to $2.9 billion. Core net earnings per share increased 6% to $1.09 due to the increase in core net earnings and the reduction in shares outstanding. |
| |
• | Operating cash flow was $3.6 billion. Free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures, was $2.5 billion. Free cash flow productivity, which is the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings, was 87%. |
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Global Economic Conditions. Current macroeconomic factors remain dynamic, and any causes of market size contraction, such as reduced GDP in commodity-dependent economies, greater political unrest in the Middle East and Central & Eastern Europe, further economic instability in the European Union, political instability in certain Latin American markets, further economic slowdowns in Japan and China and changes to international trade agreements in North America and elsewhere, could reduce our sales or erode our operating margin, in either case reducing our earnings.
Changes in Costs. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices and our own productivity efforts. We have significant exposures to certain commodities, in particular certain oil-derived materials like resins, and volatility in the market price of these commodity input materials has a direct impact on our costs. If we are unable to manage commodity fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects and sourcing decisions as well as through consistent productivity improvements, it may adversely impact our gross margin, operating margin and net earnings. Sales could also be adversely impacted following pricing actions if there is a negative impact on consumption of our products. We strive to implement, achieve and sustain cost improvement plans, including outsourcing projects, supply chain optimization and general overhead and workforce optimization. As discussed later in this MD&A, we initiated certain non-manufacturing overhead reduction projects along with manufacturing and other supply chain cost improvement projects in 2012. In fiscal 2016, we announced an additional multi-year cost reduction program. This program is expected to result in meaningful non-manufacturing enrollment reductions and other savings. If we are not successful in executing and sustaining these changes, there could be a negative impact on our operating margin and net earnings.
Foreign Exchange. We have both translation and transaction exposure to the fluctuation of exchange rates. Translation exposures relate to exchange rate impacts of measuring income statements of foreign subsidiaries that do not use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Transaction exposures relate to 1) the impact from input costs that are denominated in a currency other than the local reporting currency and 2) the revaluation of transaction-related working capital balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Over the prior four fiscal years, the U.S. dollar had strengthened versus a number of foreign currencies leading to lower sales and earnings from these foreign exchange impacts. Certain countries experiencing significant exchange rate fluctuations, like Argentina, Egypt, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom have previously had, and could in the future have, a significant impact on our sales, costs and earnings. Increased pricing in response to these fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may offset portions of the currency impacts but could also have a negative impact on consumption of our products, which would affect our sales.
Government Policies. Our net earnings could be affected by changes in U.S. or foreign government tax policies. For example, the U.S. is considering corporate tax reform that may significantly impact the corporate tax rate and change the U.S. tax treatment of international earnings. The potential impact of such a change, if ultimately enacted, is uncertain. Additionally, we attempt to carefully manage our debt and currency exposure in certain countries with currency exchange, import authorization and pricing controls, such as Nigeria and Ukraine. Changes in government policies in these areas might cause an increase or decrease in our sales, operating margin and net earnings.
For information on risk factors that could impact our results, please refer to Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

Operating Costs
Gross margin decreased 40 basis points to 50.6% of net sales for the quarter. Gross margin benefited 150 basis points from manufacturing cost savings projects (130 basis points net of product and packaging reinvestments). This impact was offset by:
| |
• | a 70 basis point decline due to higher commodity costs, |
| |
• | a 50 basis point decline from unfavorable product mix (primarily within segments due to disproportionate growth of lower margin products and between segments caused by the disproportionate net sales growth in Fabric & Home Care, which has lower than company-average gross margin), |
| |
• | a 30 basis point impact from unfavorable foreign exchange and |
| |
• | a 20 basis point decline from lower restructuring costs and other impacts. |
Total SG&A spending increased 1% to $4.7 billion due to increases in marketing and overhead spending, partially offset by reduction in other operating expense, primarily from lower foreign exchange transactional charges. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased 10 basis points to 28.2%. A 70 basis point increase in overhead expenses was partially offset by a reduction in other operating expense. Overhead costs as a percent of net sales increased due to wage inflation, investments and other impacts. Marketing spending as a percent of net sales was unchanged as investments in advertising and other marketing activities were offset by reductions in agency compensation and production costs. Productivity-driven cost savings delivered 40 basis points of benefit in SG&A.
Non-Operating Expenses and Income
Interest expense was $115 million for the quarter, a decrease of $16 million versus the prior year period, due to a decrease in weighted average interest rates. Interest income was $49 million for the quarter, an increase of $14 million versus the prior year period due to an increase in interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents balances. Other non-operating income was $82 million, an increase of $19 million due to an increase in gains from minor brand divestitures.
Income Taxes on Continuing Operations
The effective tax rate on continuing operations increased 40 basis points to 23.5% versus the prior year period. Lower excess tax benefits associated with share-based payments (110 basis points in the current year versus 310 in the prior year) were partially offset by favorable impacts from geographic mix of earnings due to a higher proportion of earnings outside of the US.
Net Earnings from Continuing Operations
Net earnings from continuing operations were unchanged at $2.9 billion for the quarter as an increase in net sales and non-operating income were offset by the decrease in gross margin, increase in SG&A as a percent of net sales and increase in effective tax rate, all of which are discussed above. Foreign exchange impacts had a nominal effect on net earnings for the quarter, considering both transactional charges and translational impacts from converting earnings from foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars. Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations increased 6% to $1.06 due primarily to a reduction in the number of weighted average shares outstanding.
Discontinued Operations
Net earnings from discontinued operations were zero in the current period versus a loss of $118 million in the prior year period. The base period result was driven primarily by the transition costs associated with the sale of the Beauty Brands, which closed on October 1, 2016 (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net Earnings
Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased $0.1 billion or 5% to $2.9 billion for the quarter. The increase was due to the improvement in discontinued operations. Diluted net earnings per share increased 10% to $1.06. The difference between the increase in net earnings and the increase in the related earnings per share was due to the reduction in weighted average shares outstanding. Core net earnings per share increased 6% to $1.09. Core net earnings per share represents diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding incremental restructuring charges related to our productivity and cost savings plans.
BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSION – Three Months Ended September 30, 2017
The following discussion provides a review of results by reportable business segment.

Beauty
Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with three months ended September 30, 2016
Beauty net sales increased 5% to $3.1 billion during the first fiscal quarter on unit volume that was unchanged. Price increases added 1% to net sales while favorable product mix added 4%, due to premium innovation and the disproportionate growth of the super-premium SK-II brand, which has higher than average selling prices. Organic sales increased 5%. Global market share of the Beauty segment decreased 0.2 points. Volume decreased low single digits in developed regions and increased low single digits in developing regions.
| |
• | Volume in Hair Care was unchanged. Developed market volume decreased low single digits due to lower promotional activity at certain customers and following increased pricing. Volume in developing regions was unchanged as increases from product innovation offset decreases following increased pricing. Global market share of the Hair Care category was unchanged. |
| |
• | Volume in Skin and Personal Care was unchanged. Volume decreased low single digits in developed regions following increased pricing. Volume increased low single digits in developing regions due to product innovation and increased marketing. Global market share of the Skin and Personal Care category decreased slightly. |
Net earnings increased 7% to $632 million due to the increase in net sales and a 40 basis point increase in net earnings margin. The net earnings margin increased primarily due to a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased due to a decrease in marketing spending as a percent of net sales. Gross margin decreased slightly as higher commodity costs and capacity investments were only partially offset by productivity savings and the benefit of higher pricing.
Grooming
Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with three months ended September 30, 2016
Grooming net sales decreased 5% to $1.6 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 1% decrease in unit volume. Price reductions in Shave Care reduced net sales by 3%. Unfavorable product mix reduced net sales by 2% driven by the disproportionate decline of certain developed markets, partially offset by the growth of Appliances, which has higher than segment-average selling prices. Organic sales decreased 6%. Global market share of the Grooming segment decreased 0.8 points. Volume decreased low single digits in developed and developing regions.
| |
• | Shave Care volume decreased low single digits in both developed and developing regions due to competitive activity, and lower distribution in certain markets. Global market share of the Shave Care category decreased less than a point. |
| |
• | Volume in Appliances increased double digits in both developed and developing regions due to product innovation. Global market share of the Appliances category increased more than two points. |
Net earnings decreased 21% to $329 million due to the reduction in net sales and a 420 basis point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin decreased due to a reduction in gross margin and an increase in SG&A as a percent of net sales. Gross margin decreased as the negative impact of lower pricing and unfavorable geographic mix was only partially offset by the benefit of cost savings projects. SG&A as a percent of net sales increased due to an increase in both overhead and marketing spending along with the negative scale impacts of the reduction in net sales.
Health Care
Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with three months ended September 30, 2016
Health Care net sales increased 2% to $1.9 billion during the first fiscal quarter on unit volume that was unchanged. Favorable foreign exchange increased net sales by 1% and price increases contributed 1% to net sales. Organic sales increased 1% on organic volume that increased 1%. Global market share of the Health Care segment decreased 0.3 points. Volume decreased low single digits in developed regions and increased low single digits in developing regions.
| |
• | Oral Care volume increased low single digits. Volume increased low single digits in both developed and developing regions driven by market growth, product innovation and marketing investments. Global market share of the Oral Care category decreased nearly half a point. |
| |
• | Volume in Personal Health Care decreased low single digits. Volume decreased mid-single digits in developed regions due to relatively lower levels of product innovation versus year ago. Volume was unchanged in developing regions. Organic volume increased low single digits in developing regions due to increased distribution. Global market share of the Personal Health Care category was unchanged. |
Net earnings decreased 5% to $305 million as the increase in net sales was more than offset by a 110 basis point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin declined primarily due to a reduction in non-operating income driven by a base period gain from minor brand divestitures. Gross margin increased primarily due to manufacturing cost savings. This was largely offset by an increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales due to increased marketing and overhead spending.
Fabric & Home Care
Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with three months ended September 30, 2016
Fabric & Home Care net sales increased 2% to $5.4 billion for the first fiscal quarter on a 2% increase in unit volume. Organic sales also increased 2%. Global market share of the Fabric & Home Care segment decreased 0.1 points. Volume increased low single digits in developed and developing regions.
| |
• | Fabric Care volume increased low single digits. Developed regions grew mid-single digits driven by product innovation. Developing regions grew low single digits due to product innovation and market growth. Global market share of the Fabric Care category was unchanged. |
| |
• | Home Care volume was unchanged. Developed market volume declined low single digits due to hand dishwashing market contraction. Developing regions increased mid-single digits due to product innovation and marketing investments. Global market share of the Home Care category was unchanged. |
Net earnings increased 6% to $769 million due to a 60 basis-point increase in net earnings margin and the increase in net sales. Net earnings margin increased primarily due to an increase in non operating income from gains on minor brand divestitures in the current period. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was unchanged. Gross margin increased slightly due to manufacturing cost savings partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and unfavorable product mix (due to an increase in the proportion of product forms and larger package sizes with lower than segment-average margins).
Baby, Feminine & Family Care
Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with three months ended September 30, 2016
Baby, Feminine & Family Care net sales decreased 1% to $4.5 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 1% decrease in unit volume. Organic volume, which excludes the impact of minor brand divestitures, was unchanged. Lower pricing reduced net sales by 1%. Organic sales decreased 1%. Global market share of the Baby, Feminine & Family Care segment decreased 0.4 points. Volume was unchanged in developed regions and decreased low single digits in developing regions.
| |
• | Volume in Baby Care decreased mid-single digits. Developed regions declined low single digits due to competitive activities. Developing regions declined high single digits due to volume decline following increased pricing, competitive activity and reduction in trade inventories. Global market share of the Baby Care category decreased more than a point. |
| |
• | Volume in Feminine Care decreased low single digits. Organic volume, which excludes the impact of minor brand divestitures, increased low single digits. Organic volume decreased low single digits in developed regions due to competitive activity. Volume increased mid-single digits in developing regions due to product innovation and market growth. Global market share of the Feminine Care category was unchanged. |
| |
• | Volume in Family Care, which is predominantly a North American business, increased mid-single digits driven by product innovation, distribution gains and increased marketing activities. In the U.S., all-outlet share of the Family Care category increased more than a point. |
Net earnings decreased 10% to $630 million due to a 130 basis-point decrease in net earnings margin and the reduction in net sales. Net earnings margin decreased primarily due to a decline in gross margin. Gross margin decreased due to an increase in commodity costs and unfavorable product mix (from an increase in product forms and larger package sizes with lower than segment-average margins), partially offset by manufacturing cost savings. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was unchanged.
Corporate
Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities not allocated to specific business segments. These include: the incidental businesses managed at the corporate level; financing and investing activities; other general corporate items; the gains and losses related to certain divested brands and categories; certain restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization; and certain significant asset impairment charges. Corporate also includes reconciling items to adjust the accounting policies used in the segments to U.S. GAAP. The most significant reconciling item includes income taxes to adjust from blended statutory rates that are reflected in the segments to the overall Company effective tax rate.
Corporate net sales increased 2% to $108 million during the first fiscal quarter. Corporate net earnings from continuing operations improved by $82 million in the first fiscal quarter. Corporate net earnings increased due to gains on minor brand divestitures and a reduction in foreign exchange transactional charges, partially offset by reduced current year excess tax benefits associated with share-based payments. Additional discussion of these items is included in the Results of Operations section.
Productivity and Cost Savings Plan
In 2012, the Company initiated a productivity and cost savings plan 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. In 2016, the Company communicated additional multi-year productivity and cost savings targets. In 2017, the Company communicated specific elements of the productivity and cost savings targets.
The additional productivity and cost savings plan will further reduce costs in the areas of supply chain, certain marketing activities and overhead expenses. As part of this plan, the Company expects to incur approximately $1.2 billion in total before-tax restructuring costs in fiscal 2018 and 2019. This program is expected to result in meaningful non-manufacturing enrollment reductions, along with further optimization of the supply chain and other manufacturing processes.
Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the resulting charges are funded by and included within Corporate for segment reporting.
In addition to our restructuring programs, we have additional ongoing savings efforts in our supply chain, marketing and overhead areas that yield additional benefits to our operating margins.
Refer to Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on the restructuring program.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities
We generated $3.6 billion of cash from operating activities fiscal year to date, an increase of $0.6 billion versus the prior year. Net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes, and gain on sale of assets), generated $4.0 billion of operating cash flow. Working capital and other impacts used $0.4 billion of cash in the period. Accounts receivable used $304 million of cash due to the timing of quarter-end (which fell on a weekend, resulting in fewer days collection) and to a lesser extent, the extension of customer payment terms for seasonal products. Inventory consumed $357 million of cash primarily due to product initiatives and seasonal inventory builds in certain GBUs. Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities generated $235 million of cash primarily driven by extended payment terms with our suppliers. All other operating assets and liabilities used $30 million of cash.
Investing Activities
Cash used by investing activities was $2.5 billion fiscal year to date. Capital expenditures were $1.1 billion, or 6.8% of net sales. We generated $120 million of cash from proceeds from asset sales, primarily from plant sales and minor brand divestitures. We used $1.9 billion for purchases of short-term investments, partially offset by $388 million of cash generated from sales and maturities of short-term investments.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities consumed net cash of $1.7 billion fiscal year to date. We used $2.5 billion for treasury stock purchases and $1.8 billion for dividends. Cash generated from the net effect of debt issuances and payments was $2.0 billion. Cash from the exercise of stock options and other impacts generated $580 million of cash.
As of September 30, 2017, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $2.6 billion. We have short- and long-term debt to meet our financing needs. 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 MEASURES NOT DEFINED BY U.S. GAAP
In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. We believe that these measures provide useful perspective on underlying business trends (i.e., trends excluding non-recurring or unusual items) and results and provide a supplemental measure of year-on-year results. The non-GAAP measures described below are used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. These measures may be useful to investors as they provide supplemental information about business performance and provide investors a view of our business results through the eyes of management. These measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered by the user in place of the related GAAP measure, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items or events being adjusted.
The Core earnings measures included in the following reconciliation tables refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for the following items:
Incremental restructuring: The Company has had and continues to have an ongoing level of restructuring activities. Such activities have resulted in ongoing annual restructuring related charges of approximately $250 - $500 million before tax. In 2012, Procter & Gamble began a $10 billion strategic productivity and cost savings initiative that includes incremental restructuring activities. In 2016, the Company communicated additional multi-year productivity and cost savings targets. This results in incremental restructuring charges to accelerate productivity efforts and cost savings. The adjustment to Core earnings includes only the restructuring costs above what we believe are the normal recurring level of restructuring costs.
We do not view these items to be part of our sustainable results and their exclusion from Core earnings measures provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year results. These items are 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, divestitures, the impact from India Goods and Services Tax changes (which were effective on July 1, 2017) and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. Management believes this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis.
Free cash flow: Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. Free cash flow represents the cash that the Company is able to generate after taking into account planned maintenance and asset expansion. Management views free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor used 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. Management views free cash flow productivity as a useful measure to help investors understand P&G’s ability to generate cash. Free cash flow productivity is used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for budget planning purposes. The Company's long-term target is to generate annual free cash flow productivity at or above 90 percent.
Core EPS: Core earnings per share, or Core EPS, is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted as indicated. Management views this non-GAAP measure as a useful supplemental measure of Company performance over time.
