CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) reported fiscal year 2020 net sales of $71 billion, an increase of five percent versus the prior year. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, organic sales increased six percent, driven by a four percent increase in organic volume. Diluted net earnings per share were $4.96, an increase of 247% versus the prior year, due primarily to the non-cash impairment charge for the Gillette Shave Care business in the base year. Core earnings per share increased 13% to $5.12. The Company generated $17.4 billion of operating cash flow in fiscal 2020 with adjusted free cash flow productivity of 114%. The Company returned $15.2 billion of value to shareholders in fiscal 2020 through $7.8 billion in dividend payments and $7.4 billion of share repurchases.

The Company reported fourth quarter fiscal year 2020 net sales of $17.7 billion, an increase of four percent versus the prior year. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, organic sales increased six percent, driven by a three percent increase in organic volume. Diluted net earnings per share were $1.07, an increase of $3.19 versus the prior year, due primarily to the impairment charge for the Gillette Shave Care business in the base year. Core earnings per share increased five percent to $1.16. Operating cash flow was $4.8 billion for the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 161%.

“We are prioritizing employee health and safety, maximizing availability of P&G products, which play an essential role in meeting the daily health, hygiene and cleaning needs of consumers around the world, and helping society meet the challenges of the COVID crisis. We expect to grow through this crisis and come out even stronger on the other side,” said David Taylor, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered strong, balanced sales and profit results in fiscal 2020, both pre-COVID and through the balance of the year, meeting or exceeding each of our going-in targets, demonstrating the commitment and agility of P&G people and the robustness of our strategy.”

April - June 2020 Quarter Discussion

Net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 were $17.7 billion, an increase of four percent versus the prior year. Unfavorable foreign exchange negatively impacted sales by three percentage points for the quarter. Excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, organic sales increased six percent driven primarily by a three percent increase in organic shipment volume. The volume increase was driven by strong innovation programs and increased consumer demand for household cleaning, personal health and cleansing products, particularly in North America and China, related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially offset by volume decreases in other regions and certain categories primarily due to the disruption of consumer access to retail markets caused by the pandemic. Increased pricing contributed two percent to net sales. Positive mix impact was a one percent help to organic sales due to the disproportionate growth of North America and China regions and the Home Care and Personal Health Care categories, which have higher than company average selling prices.

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 three percent versus year ago. Skin and Personal Care organic sales decreased low single digits primarily driven by negative product mix due to double digits decline of the super-premium SK-II brand driven by pandemic related travel disruptions. This was partially offset by increased volume in Personal Cleansing due to innovation and increased consumer demand for cleansing and degerming products. Hair Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by strong innovation and retail execution in North America and China, increased pricing due in part to a reduction in promotional activity and retailer inventory restocking.
  • Grooming segment organic sales decreased one percent versus year ago. Shave Care organic sales decreased mid-single digits driven by volume decreases due to the pandemic related reduction in shaving frequency in certain markets. Appliances organic sales increased double digits due to innovation and increased demand for at-home shaving and styling products due to temporary pandemic related movement restrictions.
  • Health Care segment organic sales increased two percent for the quarter. Oral Care organic sales decreased low single digits primarily due to reduced volumes in certain regions due to temporary retail outlet closures, including electronics stores and dentist offices, partially offset by positive mix impact due to the relatively higher growth of premium products. Personal Health Care organic sales increased double digits due to increased consumer demand, retailer inventory increases in certain markets, product innovation and increased marketing investments. Geographic mix was a positive contributor to sales driven by strong growth in North America relative to volume decreases in certain markets in IMEA and Latin America due to pandemic related retail outlet closures and movement restrictions.
  • Fabric and Home Care segment organic sales increased 14% for the quarter. Fabric Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by strong consumer demand, positive product mix and a partial rebuild of retailer inventories in North America and China. This growth was partially offset by volume decreases in Europe, Asia Pacific and IMEA due primarily to the pandemic related retail outlet closures, movement restrictions and consumer pantry destocking. Home Care organic sales increased more than 30% driven by the increased consumer demand for home cleaning and dish washing products, innovation, positive product and geographic mix and higher net pricing due mainly to reduced promotional activity.
  • Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales increased five percent versus year ago. Baby Care organic sales decreased high single digits due to pandemic related consumer pantry destocking and consumption decreases, primarily in emerging markets, which were partially offset by volume growth in North America, positive product mix and currency devaluation related price increases. Feminine Care organic sales increased mid-single digits driven primarily by positive product mix and strong growth in North America driven by innovation and retailer inventory replenishment following the reduction of retailer inventory in the previous quarter. This growth was partially offset by reduced volumes in certain regions due to pandemic related consumer access restrictions and consumer pantry destocking. Family Care organic sales increased more than 20% driven by increased consumer demand and higher net pricing due to reduced promotional activity.

Diluted net earnings per share were $1.07 for the quarter, an increase of $3.19 versus the prior year, driven primarily by the base period Gillette Shave Care business impairment charge. Core earnings per share were $1.16, a five percent increase versus the prior year, driven by the net sales increase and an increase in operating margin. Currency-neutral core EPS increased 11%.

Reported gross margin increased 180 basis points, including a 30 basis-point hurt from higher non-core restructuring charges versus the prior year. Core gross margin increased 210 basis points versus the prior year, including 40 basis points of negative foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core gross margin increased 250 basis points driven by 210 basis points of gross productivity savings, 160 basis points from commodity cost decreases and 100 basis points of pricing benefit. These improvements were partially offset by 120 basis points of unfavorable product mix, 50 basis points of manufacturing and logistics cost increases due to the COVID-19 pandemic and 50 basis points of reinvestments and other impacts.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of sales increased 50 basis points on a reported basis versus the prior year, including approximately 10 basis points help from a year-on-year reduction in non-core restructuring charges. Core SG&A as a percentage of sales increased 70 basis points versus the prior year, including approximately 20 basis points of negative foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core SG&A as a percentage of sales increased 50 basis points driven by 270 basis points of increased marketing investments, a 100 basis-point base period gain on the sale of real estate and 100 basis points of wage inflation, increased incentive compensation and other impacts. These increases were partially offset by 190 basis points of cost leverage benefit from increased sales and 230 basis points of savings from overhead and marketing expenses.

Reported operating profit margin increased 5,010 basis points versus the base period primarily due to the base period Gillette Shave Care business impairment charge. Excluding this charge and approximately 10 basis points hurt from higher non-core restructuring charges, core operating margin increased 140 basis points including approximately 50 basis points of negative foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core operating margin increased 190 basis points, including total productivity cost savings of 440 basis points.

Fiscal Year 2020 Results

Fiscal year 2020 net sales were $71 billion, an increase of five percent versus the previous year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, organic sales increased six percent, driven by a four percent increase in organic volume. Diluted net earnings per share were $4.96, an increase of 247% versus the prior year primarily due to the base period Gillette Shave Care business impairment charge. Core earnings per share were $5.12, an increase of 13% versus the prior year, driven by the net sales increase, an increase in core operating profit margin and a reduction in the core effective tax rate. Currency-neutral core EPS increased 17%.

Fiscal Year 2021 Guidance

The Company expects fiscal 2021 all-in sales growth in the range of one to three percent versus the prior fiscal year. This includes an estimated one percent negative impact from foreign exchange. The Company is targeting organic sales growth in the range of two to four percent.

P&G expects fiscal 2021 GAAP diluted net earnings per share growth in the range of six to ten percent versus fiscal 2020 GAAP EPS of $4.96. Core earnings per share growth for fiscal 2021 is expected to be in the range of three to seven percent versus fiscal 2020 core EPS of $5.12. The Company said its current outlook expects a $300 million after-tax headwind from foreign exchange impacts will be largely offset by a $275 million after-tax benefit from lower commodity costs.

The Company said it estimates the combined impacts of higher interest expense and lower interest income will be a $150 million after-tax earnings headwind in fiscal 2021.

P&G said it expects an effective tax rate in the range of 18% to 19% in fiscal 2021.

Capital spending is estimated to be in the range of 4% to 5% of fiscal 2021 net sales.

The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP cash flow measure 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 is targeting adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90% and expects to pay approximately $8 billion in dividends and repurchase $6 billion to $8 billion of common shares in fiscal 2021.

The Procter & Gamble Company

Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Measures

In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in Procter & Gamble's July 30, 2020 earnings release 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, the Company began a $10 billion strategic productivity and cost savings initiative that included incremental restructuring activities. In 2017, we communicated details of an additional multi-year productivity and cost savings plan. 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.

Gain on Dissolution of the PGT Healthcare Partnership: The Company dissolved our PGT Healthcare partnership, a venture between the Company and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries, Ltd (Teva) in the OTC consumer healthcare business, during the year ended June 30, 2019. The transaction was accounted for as a sale of the Teva portion of the PGT business; the Company recognized an after-tax gain on the dissolution of $353 million.

Shave Care Impairment: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recognized a non-cash after-tax impairment charge of $8.0 billion ($8.3 billion before tax) related to the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset. This was comprised of a before and after-tax impairment charge of $6.8 billion related to goodwill and an after-tax impairment charge of $1.2 billion ($1.6 billion before tax) related to the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset.

Anti-Dilutive Impacts: The Shave Care impairment charges caused preferred shares that are normally dilutive (and hence, normally assumed converted for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share) to be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, for U.S. GAAP the preferred shares were not assumed to be converted into common shares for diluted earnings per share and the related dividends paid to the preferred shareholders were deducted from net income to calculate net earnings available to common shareholders. As a result of the non-GAAP Shave Care impairment adjustment, these instruments are dilutive for non-GAAP core earnings per share.

We do not view the above 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 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.

Core operating profit margin*: Core operating profit margin is a measure of the Company's operating margin adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.

Core gross margin: Core gross margin is a measure of the Company's gross margin adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.

Core selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a percentage of net sales: Core SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales is a measure of the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company's operating efficiency over time.

Core EPS and currency-neutral Core EPS*: Core earnings per share, or Core EPS, is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share adjusted as indicated. Currency-neutral Core EPS is a measure of the Company's Core EPS excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management views these 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, tax payments relating to the Merck consumer OTC Healthcare acquisition and the payment of the transitional tax resulting from the comprehensive U.S. legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 (the "U.S. Tax Act"). 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. We view 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, in allocating financial resources and for budget planning purposes. This measure is 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%.

* Measure is used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation.

The adjustments in this row are made to reflect the dilutive preferred share impact resulting from the Shave Care impairment adjustment. Weighted average shares also add back share-based equity awards that were anti-dilutive for U.S. GAAP purposes as a result of the Shave Care impairment.
