The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) reported fiscal year 2015 currency neutral core earnings per share growth of 11% versus the prior year. Core earnings per share were $4.02, a decrease of two percent. Diluted net earnings per share were $2.44, including a one-time charge of $2.1 billion, or $0.71 per share, for a change in the method of accounting for its Venezuelan operations from consolidation to the cost method, discussed later in this press release. Organic sales grew one percent as a two percent pricing benefit more than offset a one percent reduction in shipment volume. Net sales were $76.3 billion, a decrease of five percent versus the prior year, including a negative six percentage point impact from foreign exchange.

For the April - June 2015 quarter, core earnings per share were $1.00, an increase of eight percent versus the prior year period. Core EPS results included a $0.09 per share benefit versus the prior year from non-operating income, primarily minor brand divestiture gains. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, currency-neutral core earnings per share increased 22%. Diluted net earnings per share were $0.18 including the one-time Venezuela charge of $0.71 per share and non-core restructuring costs of $0.07 per share. Organic sales were unchanged for the quarter as a three percentage point benefit from pricing and mix was offset by lower shipment volume. Net sales were $17.8 billion, a decrease of nine percent versus the prior year period driven by a negative nine percentage point impact from foreign exchange.

“In fiscal 2015, P&G delivered strong, double-digit constant currency core EPS growth and very good free cash flow productivity of over 100% on modest organic sales growth,” said Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer A.G. Lafley. “We made significant productivity gains and have largely executed the reshaping of our business portfolio. Going forward, our objective is to deliver balanced results across the three main drivers of operating total shareholder return - sales growth, operating profit margin expansion and free cash flow generation. We expect continued strong cost savings and free cash flow productivity, and we are investing behind product innovation to support an improvement in top-line growth.”

  • Beauty, Hair and Personal Care segment organic sales declined one percent as pricing benefits only partially offset lower volume. Innovation-driven sales growth in Cosmetics and Salon Professional was offset by a sales decline in Skin and Personal Care due to competition and decreased sales in Prestige due to lower levels of innovation. Hair Care organic sales were unchanged as modest growth from pricing in developing markets was offset by lower volume in developing regions due to competitive activity.
  • Grooming segment organic sales increased one percent due to higher pricing and innovation on Blades & Razors and Appliances, which was partially offset by lower volume mainly due to a combination of continued decline in consumer shaving incidents and customer inventory reductions.
  • Health Care segment organic sales increased four percent due to favorable mix and pricing in both Oral Care and Personal Health Care, more than offsetting lower volume due to competitive activity.
  • Fabric Care and Home Care segment organic sales increased two percent with growth across each business. Fabric Care sales grew behind volume increases from product innovation and pricing while Home Care sales benefited from favorable product mix. Sales also increased in P&G Professional due to higher volume from increased distribution.
  • Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales increased three percent driven by pricing, mainly in Baby Care and Feminine Care, positive product mix from Baby Care premium products and the Feminine Care adult incontinence launch, and favorable geographic mix in all businesses. These gains were slightly offset by a modest decline in Family Care from reduced distribution in Latin America and reduced pricing in North America.

Core earnings per share were $4.02, a decrease of two percent versus the prior year. This excludes losses from discontinued operations driven by non-cash impairment charges related to the batteries business, the Venezuela charge, non-core restructuring charges, charges for European legal matters and balance sheet devaluation charges resulting from foreign exchange policy changes in Venezuela prior to the change in accounting. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, currency-neutral core earnings per share increased 11% for the year. Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 21% to $3.06 including the one-time $0.71 per share impact from the Venezuela charge. Diluted net earnings per share were $2.44, a decrease of 39% versus the prior year including the Venezuela charge and a $0.62 per share loss from discontinued operations.

Reported gross margin decreased 10 basis points, including 30 basis points of non-core restructuring charges. Core gross margin improved 30 basis points, including 40 basis points of negative foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core gross margin increased 80 basis points, driven by 200 basis points of productivity cost savings and a 90 basis point benefit from pricing, which more than offset headwinds from 140 basis points of mix, 40 basis points from innovation and capacity investments and 20 basis points from higher commodity costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) increased 10 basis points on a reported basis versus the prior year, including a 30 basis point net benefit from a year-on-year decline in non-core Venezuelan balance sheet re-measurement charges, which was partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in non-core restructuring charges. Core SG&A as a percentage of sales increased 30 basis points, including 90 basis points of foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core SG&A decreased 60 basis points versus the prior year driven by 130 basis points of productivity savings from overhead and marketing costs, which were partially offset by 70 basis points of organization capability investments and other operating items.

Reported operating profit margin decreased 280 basis points driven by the impact of the non-core Venezuela charge. Core operating profit margin was unchanged versus the prior year, including 130 basis points of foreign exchange impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core operating profit margin increased 130 basis points, including 330 basis points of productivity cost savings.

Operating cash flow was $14.6 billion for the year. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 102%. The Company repurchased $4.6 billion of common stock and returned $7.3 billion of cash to shareholders as dividends. P&G announced an increase to the quarterly dividend in April, making this the 59th consecutive year of dividend increases.

Venezuela

P&G announced its decision to stop consolidating the results of its local Venezuelan operations in its GAAP financial statements. The Company said it remains committed to serving Venezuelan consumers with its market leading brands and product innovations to grow the business. P&G said this change in accounting treatment does not directly affect the local operations of its Venezuelan subsidiaries.

The change in accounting treatment reflects the Company’s inability to convert currency or pay dividends. Therefore, effective June 30, 2015, the Company stopped consolidating its Venezuelan subsidiaries and began accounting for its investment in those subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting.

As a result of this change in accounting, P&G has taken a one-time, non-core charge of $2.1 billion, or $0.71 per share, which had no corresponding tax benefit, in its April - June 2015 quarter results to remove all assets and liabilities of its Venezuelan operations from its balance sheet. In future periods, the Company’s financial results will be reported using the cost method of accounting and will include sales of finished products shipped to the country. Accordingly, beginning with the July - September 2015 reporting period, P&G will exclude the operating results of its local Venezuelan subsidiaries from its Consolidated Financial Statements. Any future dividends from the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries will be recorded as operating income upon receipt of the cash.

Fiscal Year 2016 Guidance

P&G clarified that its guidance for fiscal year 2016 is relative to fiscal 2015 results after estimated restatements to report the earnings from the Beauty categories it plans to exit as discontinued operations. P&G announced the planned exit of several Beauty categories on July 9, 2015. P&G said it expects fiscal year 2015 core EPS, which is based on earnings from continuing operations, to be restated from the $4.02 level reported above to approximately $3.77 per share. There is no change in all-in GAAP reported results. The Company said it plans to furnish an informational 8-K in September 2015 to provide more details of the restatement impacts on its financial results.

P&G said it is projecting organic sales to be in-line to up low-single digits versus fiscal 2015. Foreign exchange is expected to be a four to five percentage point headwind on all-in sales growth. As a result, the Company expects all-in sales to be down low-to-mid single digits versus fiscal 2015 results.

The Company said it expects core earnings per share to be slightly below to up mid-single digits versus fiscal 2015 restated core EPS of $3.77. Strong operating profit growth is expected to be largely offset by a six to seven percentage point core EPS growth headwind from lower non-operating income and a higher core effective tax rate. P&G noted that foreign exchange is estimated to be a three to four percent negative impact on core EPS growth, with the vast majority of this impact affecting the first-half of fiscal 2016.

Including the impacts of non-core restructuring costs and discontinued operations, P&G said it expects all-in GAAP EPS to be up 53% to 63% versus fiscal year 2015 all-in GAAP EPS of $2.44.

Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Measures

In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure.

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. We believe this provides investors with a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Organic sales is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation.

The reconciliation of reported sales growth to organic sales is as follows:

  Net   Foreign   Acquisition/   Organic Sales Exchange Divestiture Sales Twelve Months Ended June 30 Growth Impact Impact* Growth Beauty, Hair and Personal Care (7)% 5% 0% (1)% Grooming (7)% 8% 0% 1% Health Care (1)% 5% 0% 4% Fabric Care and Home Care (5)% 6% 1% 2% Baby, Feminine and Family Care   (3)%   6%   (1)%   3% Total P&G   (5)%   6%   0%   1%       Foreign Exchange   Acquisition/   Organic Sales Total P&G Net Sales Growth Impact Divestiture Impact* Growth FY 2016 (Estimate) Down low-to-mid single digits Approximately 5% —% In line to up low single digits

* Acquisition/Divestiture Impact includes volume and mix impacts of acquired and divested businesses, as well as rounding impacts necessary to reconcile net sales to organic sales.

The core earnings measures included in the following reconciliation tables refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for the following items:

  • charge in 2015 related to the change in accounting for our Venezuelan subsidiaries
  • charges in both years for incremental restructuring due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings,
  • charges in both years for balance sheet impacts from the devaluation of the foreign currency exchange rate in Venezuela and
  • charges in both years for certain European legal matters.

We do not view these items to be part of our sustainable results. We believe that these Core measures provide an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provide a more comparable measure of year-on-year earnings per share growth. Core EPS is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation.

Core EPS and Currency-neutral Core EPS: Core EPS is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted as indicated below.

Currency-neutral Core EPS is a measure of the Company's Core EPS excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. We believe the currency-neutral Core EPS measure provides a more comparable view of year-on-year earnings per share growth. The table below provides a reconciliation of diluted net earnings per share to Core EPS and Core EPS to Currency-neutral Core EPS:

  AMJ 15   AMJ 14   FY 15   FY 14 Diluted Net Earnings Per Share $0.18 $0.89 $2.44 $4.01 Earnings from Discontinued Operations $0.04 ($0.02) $0.62 ($0.16) Non-Controlling Interest from Discontinued Operations $— $— $— $0.01 Earnings from Continuing Operations $0.22 $0.87 $3.06 $3.86 Incremental Restructuring Charges $0.07 $0.04 $0.20 $0.12 Venezuela Balance Sheet Remeasurement and Devaluation Impacts $— $— $0.04 $0.09 Charges for European Legal Matters ($0.01) $0.02 $0.01 $0.02 Venezuela Charge $0.71 $— $0.71 $— Rounding Impacts $0.01 $— $— $— Core EPS $1.00 $0.93 $4.02 $4.09 Percentage Change vs. Prior Period 8% (2)% Currency Impact to Earnings $0.13 $0.53 Currency-neutral Core EPS $1.13 $4.55 Percentage Change vs. Prior Period 22% 11%

Note – All reconciling items are presented net of tax. Tax effects are calculated consistent with the nature of the underlying transaction.

Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending excluding tax payments for the Pet divestiture. We view adjusted 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. The reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow is provided below (amounts in millions):

Operating   Capital   Free Cash   Cash Tax Payment   Adjusted Free   Cash Flow   Spending   Flow   - Pet Sale   Cash Flow FY 2015 $14,608   $(3,736)   $10,872   $729   $11,601  

Adjusted free cash flow productivity: Adjusted free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings excluding impairment charges on the Batteries business and the Venezuela charge. The Company's long-term target is to generate annual free cash flow at or above 90 percent of net earnings. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is also a measure used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow productivity is provided below:

      Net Earnings   Adjusted Impairment Excl. Impairment Adjusted Free Cash Net & Venezuela & Venezuela Free Cash Flow   Flow   Earnings   Charges   Charges   Productivity FY 2015 $11,601   $7,144   $4,187   $11,331   102%
