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, 2021.2022. 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.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company began to present increases and reductions in short-term debt with maturities of more than three months separately within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The presentation for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 has been revised to align with the current period presentation. This change had no impact on total financing activities and we have concluded the change is not material.

Total identifiable intangible assetsTotal identifiable intangible assets$29,653 $(6,149)Total identifiable intangible assets$29,749 $(6,284)
Intangible assets with determinable lives consist of brands, patents, technology and customer relationships. The intangible assets with indefinite lives primarily consist of brands. The amortization expense of determinable-lived intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $80 and 2020 was $77, million and $84 million, respectively.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment by comparingimpairment. We use the estimated fair values of our reporting units and underlying indefinite-lived intangible assets to their respective carrying values. We typically use an income method to estimate the fair value of these assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. If the resulting fair value is less than the asset's carrying value, that difference represents an impairment. Our annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets occurs during the three months ended December 31.
The business unit valuations used to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment depend 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 rates, tax rates or future cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values. To the extent changes in such factors result in a failure to achieve the level of projected cash flows initially used to estimate fair value for purposes of establishing or subsequently impairing the carrying amount of goodwill and related intangible assets, we may need to record non-cash impairment charges in the future.
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,significantly exceed two times their underlying carrying values. Certain of our goodwill reporting units,In connection with the Grooming operating segment integration as described further in particularNote 3, we concluded that the Shave Care and Appliances categories are comprised entirely of acquired businesses and as a result, have fair value cushions that are not as high. The Appliancesone reporting unit (Grooming) for goodwill impairment testing. Based on our impairment testing performed in the prior fiscal year, goodwill for the Grooming reporting unit has a fair value that significantly exceedscushion of over 40%.
Based on our impairment testing performed in the underlying carrying value. As previously disclosed,prior fiscal year, the carrying value of the Shave Care reporting unit and the related Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset were impaired during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Also, as previously disclosed, the Shave Care reporting unitasset's fair value exceeded its carrying value by more than 20%approximately 5% and is most susceptible to future impairment risk. Adverse changes in the business or in the macroeconomic environment, including foreign currency devaluation, increasing global inflation, market contraction from an economic recession and the Russia-Ukraine War, could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate the fair value of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset fair value approximated its carrying value as of our fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020trigger a future impairment testing dates. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded during the years ended June 30, 2021 or June 30, 2020.
charge. The most significant assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair valuesvalue of the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset are the net sales and earnings growth rates (including residual growth rates), discount rate and royalty rates.
Net sales growth rates could be negatively impacted by reductions or changes in demand for our Grooming products, which may be caused by, among other things: changes in the discount rate.use and frequency of grooming products, by shifts in demand away from one or more of our higher priced products to lower priced products or potential supply chain constraints. In addition, relative global and country/regional macroeconomic factors, including the Russia-Ukraine War, could result in additional and prolonged devaluation of other countries' currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The residual growth rate representsrates represent the expected rate at which the Shave Care reporting unit and Gillette brand areis expected to grow beyond the shorter-term business planning period. The residual growth raterates utilized in our fair value estimates isare consistent with the reporting unit and brand operating plans and approximatesapproximate expected long-term category market growth rates. The residual growth rate depends on overall market growth rates, the competitive environment, inflation, relative currency exchange rates and business activities that impact market share. As a result, the 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
Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.


further devaluation of currencies against the U.S. dollar. Spot rates as of the fair value measurement date are utilized in our fair value estimates for cash flows outside the U.S. Another key assumption
Amounts in ourmillions of dollars unless otherwise specified.


The royalty rate used to determine the estimated fair value determination offor the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset is the royalty rate, which is driven by historical and estimated future profitability of the underlying Gillette business. The royalty rate may be impacted by significant adverse changes in long-term operating margins.
While management can and has implemented strategies to address these events, changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the business or in the macroeconomic environment in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and could result in a decline in fair value that would trigger future impairment charges of the Shave Care reporting unit's goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The duration and severity of the pandemic could also result in future impairment charges for the Shave Care reporting unit goodwill and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset is most susceptible to future impairment risk. Our assessment of the Gillette intangible asset assumes the net sales growth rates will begin to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the current fiscal year. There continues to be a high level of uncertainty relating to how the pandemic will evolve, how governments and consumers will react, progress on the distribution of vaccines and whether the pandemic will have a longer-term effect on consumer habits. Accordingly, there continues to be risk related to this key assumption. A more prolonged pandemic recovery period could impact the assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair values of the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset that are significant enough to trigger an impairment. Net sales and earnings growth rates could be negatively impacted by reductions or changes in demand for our shave care products, which may be caused by, among other things: the temporary inability of consumers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine or other travel restrictions, or financial hardship, changes in the use and frequency of grooming products or by shifts in demand away from one or more of our higher priced products to lower priced products. In addition, relative global and country/regional macroeconomic factors could result in additional and prolonged devaluation of other countries’ currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Finally, the discount rate utilized in our valuation model could be impacted by changes in the underlying interest rates and risk premiums included in the determination of the cost of capital. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying values of the Shave Care goodwill and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset were $12.7 billion and $14.1 billion, respectively.
We performed a sensitivity analysis for the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset during our most recently completed annual impairment testing from the prior year, utilizing reasonably possible changes in the assumptions for the shorter-termdiscount rate, the short-term and residual growth rates discount rate, and the royalty raterates to demonstrate the potential impacts to the estimated fair values. The table below provides, in isolation, the estimated fair value impacts related to a 25 basis-point increase in the discount rate, a 25 basis-point decrease in our shorter-termshort-term and residual growth rates or a 50 basis pointbasis-point decrease in our royalty rate, anyrates, some of which in isolation, would result in an impairment of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset.

Gillette's business results in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 exceeded the assumptions in our impairment testing from the prior year. However, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, the relative currency exchange rates devalued against the U.S. dollar and the inputs to the cost of capital determination increased. These macroeconomic changes place increased pressure on the fair value of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset. Based on our assessment, we determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset continues to exceed its carrying value of $14.1 billion as of September 30, 2022. Therefore, we have concluded that no triggering event has occurred in the current quarter. We will perform our annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

7. Risk Management Activities and Fair Value Measurements
As a multinational company with diverse product offerings, we are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices. There have been no significant changes in our risk management policies or activities during the three months ended September 30, 2021.2022.
The Company has not changed its valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period. The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter. There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented. Also, there was no significant activity within the Level 3 assets and liabilities during the periods presented. There were no significant assets or liabilities that were remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the three months ended September 30, 2021.2022.
Cash equivalents were $9.0$5.1 billion and $9.1$6.0 billion as of September 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2021,2022, respectively, and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other investments had a fair value of $160$93 and $192$140 as of September 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2021,2022, respectively, including equity securities of $131$66 and $163$113 as of September 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2021,2022, respectively, and are presented in Other noncurrent assets. Investments are measured at fair value and primarily classified as Level 1 and Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, and Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments. There are no material investment balances classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy or using net asset value as a practical expedient. Unrealized gains on equity securities were $9 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Unrealized losses on equity securities were $(29) during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Unrealized losses on equity securities were not significant for the three months ended September 30, 2020. These unrealized lossesgains/(losses) are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in Other non-operating income/(expense),income, net.
The fair value of long-term debt was $28.4$21.8 billion and $28.8$25.7 billion as of September 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2021,2022, respectively. This includes the current portion of long-term debt instruments ($5.92.2 billion and $3.6 billion as of September 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2021,2022, respectively). Certain long-term debt (debt designated as a fair value hedge) is recorded at fair value. All other long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost but is measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. We consider our debt to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments.

The fair value of the interest rate derivative asset/(liability) directly offsets the cumulative amount of the fair value hedging adjustment included in the carrying amount of the underlying debt obligation. The carrying amount of the underlying debt obligation, which includes the unamortized discount or premium and the fair value adjustment, was $7.4$3.3 billion and $7.5$4.7 billion as of September 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2021,2022, respectively. In addition to the foreign currency derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges, certain of our foreign currency denominated debt instruments are designated as net investment hedges. The carrying value of those debt instruments designated as net investment hedges, which includes the adjustment for the foreign currency transaction gain or loss on those instruments, was $11.7$9.4 billion and $12.0$11.2 billion as of September 30, 20212022 and June 30, 2021,2022, respectively. The increase in the notional balance of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges is partially offset by the decrease in debt designated as a net investment hedge due to maturities. The net increase in the total amount of instruments designated as net investment hedges is primarily driven by the Company's decision to leverage favorable interest rate spreads in the foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments primarily reflects changes in the level of intercompany financing activity during the period.swap market.
All derivative assets are presented in Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Other noncurrent assets. All derivative liabilities are presented in Accrued and other liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are recognized in the Foreign currency translation component of Other comprehensive income (OCI). All of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are subject, from time to time, to certain legal proceedings and claims arising out of our business, which cover a wide range of matters, including antitrust and trade regulation, product liability, advertising, contracts, environmental, patent and trademark matters, labor and employment matters and tax. 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 70 countries and over 150 taxable jurisdictions and, at any point in time, has 40–50 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 20082010 and forward. We are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts until the close of an audit. Based on information currently available, we anticipate that over the audit. While we do not expect material changes, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit with respectnext 12 month period, audit activity could be completed related to our uncertain tax positions could increase or decrease within the next 12 months. At this timein multiple jurisdictions for which we are not able to make a reasonable estimatehave accrued existing liabilities of the range of impact on the balance of uncertain tax positions or the impact on the effective tax rate related to these items.approximately $12, including interest and penalties.

Purpose, Approach and Non-GAAP Measures
The purpose of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is to provide an understanding of Procter & Gamble's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by focusing on changes in certain key measures from year to year. The
MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes.
The MD&A is organized into the following sections:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
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, net earnings, diluted net earnings per share and net earnings.operating cash flow. 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), that include organic sales growth,growth, core net earnings per share (Core EPS), adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow productivity. The explanation at the end of the MD&A provides the definition of these non-GAAP measures, details on the use and the derivation of these measures, as well as reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
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 purchased traditional brick-and-mortar and online data in key markets as well as internal estimates. All market share references represent the percentage of sales of our products in dollar terms on a constant currency basis relative to all product sales in the category. The Company measures fiscal year to date market shares through the most recent period for which market share data is available, which typically reflects a lag time of one or two months as compared to the end of the reporting period. Management also uses unit volume growth to evaluate and explain drivers of changes in net sales. Organic volume growth reflects year-over-year changes in unit volume excluding the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and certain one-time items, if applicable, and is used to explain changes in organic sales.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
The following are highlights of results for the three months ended September 30, 20212022 versus the three months ended September 30, 2020:2021:
Net sales increased 5%1% to $20.3 billion, due to a high single digit increase$20.6 billion. Growth was driven by low single-digit increases in Health Care, mid-single digit increases in Beauty, Grooming and Fabric & Home Care and a low single digit increase in Baby, Feminine & Family Care.Care, partially offset by a mid-single-digit decrease in Grooming. Net Sales in Beauty were unchanged. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange, increased 4%7%. Organic sales increased high single digits in Health Care increased mid-single digits in Grooming and in Fabric & Home Care and increased low singlemid-single digits in Beauty, Grooming and in Baby, Feminine & Family Care.
Net earnings were $4.1$4.0 billion, a decrease of $0.2 billion$163 million, or 4%, versus the prior year period asdue to a decrease in operating margin, partially offset by the increase in net sales was more than offset by a decrease in operating margin.sales.
Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble decreased $0.2were $3.9 billion, a decrease of $173 million, or 4%, versus the prior year period to $4.1 billion.year.
Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) decreased 1%2% to $1.61$1.57 due primarily to the decrease in net earnings, partially offset by a reduction in the weighted average shares outstanding. Core net earnings per share also decreased 1% to $1.61 due to the absence of any non-core adjustments in either period.
Operating cash flow was $4.6$4.1 billion. Adjusted free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures and certain other impacts, was $3.8$3.4 billion. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 92%86%.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Global Economic Conditions. Our products are sold in numerous countries across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa, with more than half our sales generated outside the United States. As such, we are exposed to and impacted by global macroeconomic factors, U.S. and foreign government policies and foreign exchange fluctuations. Global economic conditions continue to be highly volatile due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in market size contractions in certain countries due to economic slowdowns and government restrictions on movement. OtherCurrent macroeconomic factors also remain very dynamic, and any causes of market size contraction, such as COVID-19 related disruptions or lockdowns, greater political unrest or instability in the Middle East, Central &and Eastern Europe (including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War), certain Latin American markets the Hong Kong market in Greater China and the Korean peninsula could reduce our sales or erode our operating margin and consequently reduce our net earnings and cash flows.
Changes in Costs. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity and input material prices, transportation costs, broader inflationary impacts and our own productivity efforts. We have significant exposures to certain commodities and input materials, in particular certain oil-derived materials like resins and paper-based materials like pulp, and volatilitypulp.Volatility in the market price of these commoditycommodities and input materials has a direct impact on our costs.Disruptions in our manufacturing, supply and distribution operations, including due to COVID-19 related lockdowns, energy shortages, port congestions, labor constraints and freight container and truck shortages have impacted our costs and could do so in the future.If we are unable to manage these impacts 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, net earnings and cash flows. Net sales could also be adversely impacted following pricing actions if there is a negative impact on the 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.If we are not successful in executing and sustaining these changes, there could be a negative impact on our gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows.
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. In three outHistorically, weakening of the past four years a number ofcertain foreign currencies have weakened versus the U.S. dollar have resulted in significant foreign exchange impacts leading to lower net sales, net earnings and earnings from these foreign exchange impacts.cash flows. Certain countries that recently had and are currently experiencing significant exchange rate fluctuations includesuch as Argentina, Brazil, United Kingdom, Japan, Russia and Turkey Brazilhave had, and Russia. These fluctuationscould continue to have, significantly impacteda significant impact on our historical net sales, costs and net earnings and could do so in the future.cash flows. Increased pricing in response to certain fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may offset portions of the currency impacts but could also have a negative impact on the consumption of our products, which would negatively affect our net sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows.
Government Policies. Our net earnings and cash flows could be affected by changes in U.S. or foreign government legislative, regulatory or enforcement policies. For example, ourOn August 16, 2022, the "Inflation Reduction Act" (H.R. 5376) was signed into law in the United States. We do not currently expect the Inflation Reduction Act to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Our net earnings and cash flows could be affected by any future legislative or regulatory changes in U.S. or non-U.S. tax policy, or any significant change in global tax policy adopted under the current work being led by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD")OECD for the G20 focused on "Addressing the Challenges of the Digitalization of the Economy." The breadth of the OECD project extends beyond pure digital businesses and if agreed and enacted by most countries is likely to impact most large multinational businesses by both redefining jurisdictional taxation rights and broadly establishing a 15% minimum tax on their foreign operations.Economy". Our net sales, gross margin,
operating margin, net earnings and cash flows may also be impacted by changes in U.S. and foreign government policies related to environmental and climate change matters. Additionally, we attempt to carefully manage our debt, currency and other
exposures in certain countries with currency exchange, import authorization and pricing controls, such as Argentina, Egypt, Nigeria Algeria, Egypt, Argentina and Turkey.Pakistan. Further, our net sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows could be affected by changes to international trade agreements in North America and elsewhere, including any impacts from post-Brexit (United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union) trade agreements.elsewhere. Changes in government policies in these areas might cause an increase or decrease in our net sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows.
COVID-19 Disclosures.Russia-Ukraine War. The war between Russia and Ukraine has negatively impacted our operations in both countries. Our priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to beUkraine business includes two manufacturing sites. We have approximately 500 employees including both manufacturing and non-manufacturing personnel. Our operations in protecting the health and safetyUkraine accounted for less than 1% of our employees; maximizing the availability of products that help consumers with their health, hygiene and cleaning needs; and using our employees’ talents and our resources to help society meet and overcome the current challenges.
Because we sell products that are essential to the daily lives of consumers, the pandemic has not had a materially negative impact to our consolidated net sales and net earnings in fiscal 2022. Additionally, net assets of our Ukraine subsidiary, along with Ukraine related assets held by other subsidiaries, account for less than 1% of net assets as positiveof September 30, 2022.
Our Russia business includes two manufacturing sites with a net book value of approximately $300 million as of September 30, 2022. We have approximately 1,800 employees, including both manufacturing and negativenon-manufacturing personnel. In fiscal 2022, our operations in Russia accounted for less than 2% of consolidated net sales and less than 1% of net earnings. Additionally, net assets of our Russia subsidiaries, along with Russia related assets held by other subsidiaries, account for less than 2% of net assets as of September 30, 2022. Beginning in March 2022, the Company reduced its product portfolio, discontinued new capital investments and suspended media, advertising and promotional activity in Russia.
Future impacts to the Company are difficult to predict due to the high level of uncertainty related to the war’s duration, evolution and resolution. Within Ukraine, there is a possibility of physical damage and destruction of our two manufacturing facilities. We may not be able to operate our manufacturing sites and source raw materials from our suppliers or ship finished products to our customers. Ultimately, these could result in impairments of our manufacturing plants and fixed assets or write-downs of other operating assets and working capital.
Within Russia, we may not be able to continue our reduced operations at current levels due to largely offset each other. We further describe these impacts for the period covered by this report in the Business Segment Discussion of the MD&A.
In the future, the pandemic may reduce demand for our products if it results in a recessionary global economic environment. Demand in certain countries in Latin America, Asia Pacificsanctions and IMEA may be particularly susceptible to recession. It could also lead to volatility in consumercounter-sanctions, monetary, currency or payment controls, legislative restrictions or policies, restrictions on access to our products (due to government actions orfinancial institutions and supply and transportation challenges. Our suppliers, distributors and labor shortages impacting our ability to produce and ship products) or could impact consumers’ movements and access to our products. The resumption towards normalcy in economic activity as governmental restrictions are relaxed and economies gradually, partially, or fully reopen in certain regions and markets, could also result in reduced demand due to consumption decreases and consumer pantry destocking (particularly, in home cleaning and hygiene products). Our retail customers are also impacted by the pandemicwar and their success in addressing issues and maintainingability to successfully maintain their operations could also impact consumer access to and, as a result,our operations or negatively impact the sales of our products.
We believe that in the long term,More broadly, there will continuecould be additional negative impacts to be strong demand for categories in which we operate, particularly our products that deliver essential health, hygiene and cleaning benefits. However, the uncertainty in the timing and extent of demand volatility, the relaxation and reimplementation of movement restrictions, the timing and impact of potential consumer pantry destocking, and future economic trends due to a resurgence of positive cases, the emergence of new variants of the virus, the speed at which treatments and vaccines are administered and governmental actions in response to the pandemic may result in heightened volatility of net sales, net earnings and cash flows duringshould the situation escalate beyond its current scope, including, among other potential impacts, economic recessions in certain neighboring countries or globally due to inflationary pressures and subsequentsupply chain cost increases or the geographic proximity of the war relative to the pandemic.rest of Europe.
Business Continuity. Our ability to continue to operate without any significant negative impacts will in part depend on our ability to protect our employees and our supply chain. The Company has endeavored to followFor a more complete discussion of the recommendations from governments and health authorities, including on vaccine administration, with specific measures in place for those workingrisks we encounter in our plants and distribution facilities. We have also worked closely with local and national officials to keep our manufacturing facilities open due to the essential nature of the majority of our products.
While we have been able to broadly maintain our operations, we experienced some disruption in our supply chain in certain markets in Asia Pacific due primarily to the restriction of employee movements and in North America due to labor shortages and transportation constraints. We intend to continue to work with government authorities and implement employee safety measures to minimize disruption to the manufacturing and distribution of our products. However, uncertainty in the duration and scope of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants of the virus, the likelihood of a resurgence of positive cases, the speed at which treatments and vaccines are administered and governmental actions in response to the pandemic could result in an unforeseen disruption to our supply chain and impact our operations. For example, a closure of a key manufacturing or distribution facility or the inability of a key material or transportation supplier to source and transport materials.
Liquidity. Because the pandemic, thus far, has not had a material negative impact on our operations, on the demand for our products or the resulting net sales and net earnings, it has not negatively impacted the Company’s liquidity position. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs and continue to maintain access to capital markets enabled by our strong short- and long-term credit ratings.
Impairments. We have not observed any material impairments or other significant reductions in the fair value of our recorded assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating Costs
Gross margin decreased 370160 basis points to 49%47.4% of net sales for the quarter. The decrease in gross margin was due to:
350510 basis points of increased commodity costs,
an 80 basis point decline from unfavorable mix, primarily due to negative product mix due to the disproportionate growth of large pack sizes, launch and growth of premium-priced products that are profit-accretive but have lower than Company-average gross margin and higher volumes of lower-margin display packs in certain regions and businesses, andinput material costs,
a 40 basis point120 basis-point decline from unfavorable product mix, primarily due to the disproportionate slowdown of SK-II, Appliances and Fabric Enhancers products, all of which have higher restructuring charges versus the base period.than company-average gross margins,
These impacts were offset by:

As of September 30, 2021,2022, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $12.3$14.1 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 S-K Item 10(e), the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. 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.GAAP. 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.
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.
Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending and excluding payments for the transitional tax payments resulting from the U.S. Tax Act (the Company incurred a transitional tax liability of approximately $3.8 billionbeginning in fiscal 2018 from the U.S. Tax Act of 2017, which is payable over a period of 8 years).2019. 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.

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.
