Oral Care organic sales grew as price and mix benefits more than offset lower volume levels in North America and Greater China. Feminine Care organic sales increased driven by mix benefits from premium innovations such as Always and Tampax Radiant in the U.S., Always/Fairy Pinkcess in Brazil and China, and Always Platinum in Russia and pricing. All-in sales were down in both categories due to significant negative impact from foreign exchange. All-in and organic sales in Personal Health Care grew as price increases and positive mix more than offset lower volume due to Vicks initiatives in the base period and lower Prilosec OTC sales.

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:
JAS 2012 | Net Sales Growth | | Foreign Exchange Impact | | Acquisition/ Divestiture Impact* | | Organic Sales Growth |
Beauty | -7% | | 5% | | 0% | | -2% |
Grooming | -7% | | 8% | | 1% | | 2% |
Health Care | -4% | | 6% | | 0% | | 2% |
Fabric Care and Home Care | -2% | | 5% | | (1%) | | 2% |
Baby Care and Family Care | -2% | | 5% | | 0% | | 3% |
Total P&G | -4% | | 6% | | 0% | | 2% |
Total P&G | Net Sales Growth | | Foreign Exchange Impact | | Acquisition/ Divestiture Impact* | | Organic Sales Growth |
OND 2012 (Estimate) | -1% to 1% | | 2% | | 0% | | 1% to 3% |
FY 2013 (Estimate) | 0% to 1% | | 2% to 3% | | 0% | | 2% to 4% |
*Acquisition/Divestiture Impact includes rounding impacts necessary to reconcile net sales to organic sales.
Core EPS: This is a measure of the Company’s diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding charges in both years for incremental restructuring charges due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings, charges in both years related to the European legal matters, current year estimated gain on buyout of Iberian joint venture, and prior year impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. We do not view these items to be part of our sustainable results. We believe the Core EPS measure provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides 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. The table below provides a reconciliation of diluted net earnings per share to Core EPS:

Core Operating Profit Growth/Core Operating Profit Margin: This is a measure of the Company’s operating profit growth and operating profit margin adjusted for the current year charges related to incremental restructuring charges due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings, and charges related to the European legal matters:
| JAS 2012 |
Operating Profit Growth | (7%) |
Incremental restructuring | 7% |
Charges for European legal matters | 1% |
Core Operating Profit Growth | 1% |
| JAS 2012 |
Operating Profit Margin | 19.1% |
Incremental restructuring | 1.4% |
Charges for European legal matters | 0.1% |
Core Operating Profit Margin | 20.6% |
Core Gross Margin: This is a measure of the Company’s Gross Margin adjusted for the current year charges related to incremental restructuring charges due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings:
| JAS 12 | | JAS 11 |
Gross Margin | 50.1% | | 49.8% |
Incremental restructuring | 0.5% | | - |
Core Gross Margin | 50.6% | | 49.8% |
Basis point change | 80 | | |
Core SG&A as a % of Net Sales: This is a measure of the Company’s SG&A as a % of Net Sales adjusted for the current year charges related to incremental restructuring charges due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings, and charges related to the European legal matters:
| JAS 12 | | JAS 11 |
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A) as a % Net Sales | 31.0% | | 30.1% |
Incremental restructuring | -0.9% | | - |
Charges for European legal matters | -0.1% | | - |
Core SGA % Net Sales | 30.0% | | 30.1% |
Basis point change | -10 | | |
Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in determining the amount of cash available for dividends and discretionary investment. Free cash flow is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The reconciliation of free cash flow is provided below (amounts in millions):
