THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies

On July 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2011-05), as amended by ASU 2011-12, which deferred the effective date for the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity and requires entities to present the components of net earnings and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We chose to present net earnings and other comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $127 million and $128 million, respectively.

5. Share-Based Compensation

Pursuant to applicable accounting guidance for share-based payments, companies must recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards.

Total share-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are summarized in the following table (amounts in millions):

7. Risk Management Activities and Fair Value Measurements

6

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.

For details on the Company’s risk management activities and fair value measurement policies under the fair value hierarchy, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
Amounts in millions	September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012		September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012		September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012		September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012

⁽¹⁾  Other foreign currency instruments are comprised of foreign currency financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges.

⁽²⁾  Investment securities are presented in other noncurrent assets and all derivative assets are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other noncurrent assets.

⁽³⁾  All liabilities are presented in accrued and other liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities.

⁽⁴⁾  Long-term debt includes the current portion ($2,920 and $4,095 as of September 30 and June 30, 2012, respectively) of debt instruments. Long term debt is not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, but is measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. Fair values are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments.

The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company transferred long-term debt instruments with a fair value of $455 million from Level 1 to Level 2. The transferred instruments represent the Company's investment in industrial development bonds which are infrequently traded in an observable market. There were no additional transfers between levels during the periods presented. Also, there was no significant activity within the Level 3 assets and liabilities during the periods presented and there were no assets or liabilities that were remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments used in hedging transactions are governed by industry standard netting agreements with counterparties. If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below the levels stipulated in the agreements, the counterparties

7

could demand either collateralization or termination of the arrangement. The aggregate fair value of the instruments covered by these contractual features that are in a net liability position as of September 30, 2012 was $64 million. The Company has never been required to post any collateral as a result of these contractual features.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments

The notional amounts and fair values of qualifying and non-qualifying financial instruments used in hedging transactions as of September 30 and June 30, 2012 are as follows:

	Notional Amount				Fair Value Asset (Liability)
Amounts in Millions	September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012		September 30, 2012			June 30, 2012

Commodity contracts	150		125		(1		)	1
Total	$	13,627	$	13,335	$	88		$	64

The total notional amount of contracts outstanding at the end of the period is indicative of the level of the Company’s derivative activity during the period.

	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Accumulated OCI on Derivatives (Effective Portion)
Amounts in Millions	September 30, 2012			June 30, 2012

Foreign currency contracts	16			22
Total	$	26		$	33
Derivatives in Net Investment Hedging Relationships
Net investment hedges	$	(19	)	$	6

The effective portion of gains and losses on derivative instruments that was recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, was not material. During the next 12 months, the amount of the September 30, 2012 accumulated OCI balance that will be reclassified to earnings is expected to be immaterial.

The amounts of gains and losses on qualifying and non-qualifying financial instruments used in hedging transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into  Income (1)

Foreign currency contracts (4)	279			(581		)
Commodity contracts	2			(1		)
Total	$	281		$	(582	)

⁽¹⁾  The gain or loss on the effective portion of cash flow hedging relationships is reclassified from accumulated OCI into net income in the same period during which the related item affects earnings. Such amounts are included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows: interest rate contracts in interest expense, foreign currency contracts in selling, general and administrative expense and interest expense and commodity contracts in cost of products sold.

⁽²⁾  The gain or loss on the ineffective portion of interest rate contracts and net investment hedges, if any, is included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in interest expense.

⁽³⁾  The gain or loss on contracts not designated as hedging instruments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows: foreign currency contracts in selling, general and administrative expense and commodity contracts in cost of products sold.

⁽⁴⁾ The gain or loss on non-qualifying foreign currency contracts substantially offsets the foreign currency mark-to-market impact of the related exposure.

8. 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 million annually. In February 2012, the Company announced a productivity and cost savings plan to reduce costs in the areas of supply chain, research and development, marketing and overheads. The program was designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes in order to help fund the Company's growth strategy. The Company expects to incur approximately $3.5 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a four year period (from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2015), including costs incurred as part of this plan and the ongoing plan. The Company expects to incur more than half of the costs under this plan by the end of fiscal 2013, with the remainder incurred in fiscal years 2014 and 2015.

The restructuring activities are being executed across the Company's centralized organization as well as across virtually all of its MDO and GBU organizations. The announced restructuring activities include a plan for a net reduction in non-manufacturing overhead personnel of approximately 5,700 by the end of fiscal 2013. This is being done via the elimination of duplicate work, simplification through the use of technology, and the optimization of the various functional organizations, the number of business units and of the Company's global footprint. In addition, the plan includes integration of newly acquired

9

companies, optimization of the supply chain and other manufacturing processes.

Costs incurred under the plan consist primarily of costs to separate employees and asset-related costs to exit facilities. The Company is also incurring other types of costs outlined below as a direct result of the plan. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred charges of $354 million. Approximately $236 million of these charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. The remainder is included in cost of products sold. Since the inception of the program, the Company has incurred charges of $1.4 billion. Approximately $785 million of these charges were related to separations, $399 million were related to assets, and $222 million were related to other restructuring-type costs.

The following table presents restructuring activity for the three months ended September 30, 2012:

			For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

1,800 employees, of which approximately 1,690 are non-manufacturing overhead personnel. These separations occurred primarily in North America and Western Europe. The packages are predominantly voluntary, and the amounts are calculated based on salary levels and past service. Severance costs related to voluntary separations are generally charged to earnings when the employee accepts the offer. Since its inception, the program has incurred separation charges related to approximately 5,100 employees, of which approximately 3,940 are non-manufacturing overhead personnel.

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 shortened-lived assets relate primarily to manufacturing consolidations and technology standardization. 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 productivity and cost savings plan. Such charges primarily include employee relocation related to separations and office consolidations, termination of contracts related to supply chain redesign and the cost to change internal systems and processes to support the underlying organizational changes.

Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the restructuring program charges will be funded by and included within Corporate for both management and segment reporting. Accordingly, 100% 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.

9.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 matters, advertising, contracts, environmental issues, labor and employments matters and income taxes.

As previously disclosed, the Company has had a number of antitrust matters in Europe. These matters involve a number of other consumer products companies and/or retail customers. The Company’s policy is to comply with all laws and regulations, including all antitrust and competition laws, and to cooperate with investigations by relevant regulatory authorities, which the Company is doing. Competition and antitrust law inquiries often continue for several years and, if violations are found, can result in substantial fines.

In response to the actions of the regulatory authorities, the Company launched its own internal investigations into potential violations of competition laws. The Company identified violations in certain European countries and appropriate actions were taken.

Several regulatory authorities in Europe have issued separate decisions pursuant to their investigations alleging that the Company, along with several other companies, engaged in violations of competition laws in those countries. The Company has accrued the assessed fines for each of the decisions, of which all but $16 million has been paid as of September 30, 2012. Many of those are on appeal. As a result of our initial and on-going analyses of other formal complaints, the Company has accrued liabilities for competition law violations totaling $49 million as of September 30, 2012. While the ultimate resolution of these matters for which we have accrued liabilities may result in fines or costs in excess of the amounts reserved, we do not expect any such incremental losses to materially impact our financial statements in the period in which they are accrued and paid, respectively. The remaining authorities' investigations are in various stages of the regulatory process. For these other remaining competition law matters, we cannot reasonably estimate any additional fines to which the Company may be subject as a result of the investigations. We will continue to monitor developments for all of these investigations and will record additional charges as appropriate.

With respect to 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 have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Tax Uncertainties

The Company is present in over 150 taxable jurisdictions and, at any point in time, has 40 – 50 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

11

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 2002 and forward. We are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts or timing 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 will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months related to audits described above. 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 Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, which appears in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Purchase Commitments

As previously disclosed, our partner in a joint venture that holds a portion of our business in Spain informed us of their intent to exercise their rights to put their interest in the joint venture to us. On October 22, 2012, we completed the purchase of our partner's interest for $1.1 billion. Under the accounting rules for Business Combinations, this purchase will result in a gain on our previously held interest in the venture of approximately $500 to $700 million. We will substantially complete the purchase accounting for this transaction in the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

10.Discontinued Operations

In May 2012, the Company completed the divestiture of our global Snacks business to The Kellogg Company for $2.7 billion in cash. Under the terms of the agreement, Kellogg acquired our branded snack products, manufacturing facilities in Belgium and the United States and the majority of the employees working on the Snacks business. The Company recorded an after-tax gain on the transaction of $1.4 billion, which was included in net earnings from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended June 30, 2012.

The Snacks business had historically been part of the Company’s Snacks & Pet Care reportable segment. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of the Snacks business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, as a result of this transaction the Pet Care business is included in the Fabric Care and Home Care segment.

Following is selected financial information included in net earnings from discontinued operations for the Snacks business:

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this report, including without limitation, the following sections: “Management's Discussion and Analysis,” and “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in this section titled "Economic Conditions, Challenges and Risks" and the section titled “Risk Factors” (Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q). We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The purpose of this Management 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. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. MD&A is organized in the following sections:

• Overview

• Summary of Results

• Economic Conditions, Challenges and Risks

• Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

• Business Segment Discussion – Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

• Financial Condition

• Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout 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, free cash flow and free cash flow productivity. Organic sales growth is net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital spending. Free cash flow productivity is the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. We believe these measures provide investors with important information that is useful in understanding our business results and trends. The explanation at the end of MD&A provides more 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 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.

OVERVIEW

We are a global leader in retail goods focused on providing branded consumer packaged goods of superior quality and value to our consumers around the world. Our products are sold in more than 180 countries primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, salons, high-frequency stores and distributors. We continue to expand our presence in other channels, such as perfumeries and e-commerce. We have on-the-ground operations in approximately 75 countries.

Our market environment is highly competitive with global, regional and local competitors. In many of the markets and industry segments in which we sell our products, we compete against other branded products as well as retailers' private-label brands. Additionally, many of the product segments in which we compete are differentiated by price (referred to as super-premium, premium, mid-tier and value-tier products). We are well-positioned in the industry segments and markets in which we operate, often holding a leadership or significant market share position.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

Following are highlights of results for the three months ended September 30, 2012 versus the three months ended September 30, 2011:

• Net sales decreased 4% to $20.7 billion. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange, were up 2%.

• Unit volume was consistent with the prior year period. Volume grew low single digits for Baby Care and Family Care, was consistent with the prior year period for Fabric Care and Home Care, and declined low single digits for Beauty, Health Care, and Grooming.

• Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble were $2.8 billion, a decrease of $210 million or 7% versus the prior year period. The decrease in net earnings was due to the decrease in net sales and incremental restructuring charges, partially offset by gross margin expansion. The incremental restructuring charges totaled $292 million before tax, resulting from the Company's productivity and cost savings plan. The increase in gross margin was driven by price increases and manufacturing cost savings, partially offset by unfavorable geographic and product mix.

• Diluted net earnings per share decreased 7% to $0.96. The prior year net earnings per share included $0.02 per share from discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the Snacks business. Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 5% to $0.96.

• Core net earnings per share increased 5% to $1.06.

• Operating cash flow for the fiscal year to date increased 28% to $2.8 billion. Free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures, was $2.0 billion. Free cash flow productivity, which is the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings, was 69%.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, CHALLENGES AND RISKS

Ability to Achieve Business Plans. We are a consumer products company and rely on continued demand for our brands and products. To achieve business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to consumers and retail trade customers. Our continued success is dependent on leading-edge innovation with respect to both products and operations, on the continued positive reputations of our brands and our ability to successfully maintain patent and trademark protection. This means we must be able to obtain patents and trademarks, and respond to technological advances and patents granted to competition. Our success is also dependent on effective sales, advertising and marketing programs. Our ability to innovate and execute in these areas will determine the extent to which we are able to grow existing sales and volume profitably, especially with respect to the product categories and geographic markets (including developing markets) in which we have chosen to focus. There are high levels of competitive activity in the environments in which we operate. To address these challenges, we must respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives, trade terms and product initiatives. We must manage each of these factors, as well as maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our key customers, in order to effectively compete and achieve our business plans. As a company that manages a portfolio of consumer brands, our ongoing business model involves a certain level of ongoing acquisition, divestiture and joint venture activities. We must be able to successfully manage the impacts of these activities, while at the same time delivering against base business objectives. Daily conduct of our business also depends on our ability to maintain key information technology systems, including systems operated by third-party suppliers, and to maintain security over our data.

Cost Pressures. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, raw materials, labor costs, foreign exchange and interest rates. Therefore, our success is dependent, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects, sourcing decisions and certain hedging transactions, as well as consistent productivity improvements. We also must manage our debt and currency exposure, especially in certain countries with currency exchange controls, such as Venezuela, China and India. We need to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including sole supplier and sole manufacturing plant arrangements, and successfully manage any disruptions at Company manufacturing sites. We must implement, achieve and sustain cost improvement plans, including our outsourcing projects and those related to general overhead and workforce optimization. Successfully managing these changes, including identifying, developing and retaining key employees, is critical to our success.

Global Economic Conditions. Demand for our products has a correlation to global macroeconomic factors. The current macroeconomic factors remain dynamic. Economic changes, terrorist activity, political unrest and natural disasters may result in business interruption, inflation, deflation or decreased demand for our products. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage continued global political and/or economic uncertainty, especially in our significant geographic markets, due to terrorist and other hostile activities or natural disasters. We could also be negatively impacted by a global, regional or national economic crisis, including sovereign risk in the event of a deterioration in the credit worthiness of or a default by local governments, resulting in a disruption of credit markets. Such events could negatively impact our ability to collect receipts due from governments, including refunds of value added taxes, create significant credit risks relative to our local customers and depository institutions, and/or negatively impact our overall liquidity.

Regulatory Environment. Changes in laws, regulations and the related interpretations may alter the environment in which we do business. This includes changes in environmental, competitive and product-related laws, as well as changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements. Our ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters (including product liability, patent, intellectual property, competition law matters and tax policy) and to resolve pending legal matters within current estimates may impact our results.

For more information on risks that could impact our results, refer to Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q.

Net Sales

Net sales decreased 4% to $20.7 billion for the July - September quarter on unit volume that was in line with the prior year period. Baby Care and Family Care grew volume low single digits. Fabric Care and Home Care volume was in line with the prior year period. Beauty, Health Care and Grooming volume decreased low single digits. Volume grew low single digits in developing regions and declined low single digits in developed regions. Price increases added 2% to net sales, driven by price increases across all business segments, primarily executed in prior periods to offset cost increases and devaluing developing market currencies. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 6%. Organic sales grew 2% driven by price increases.

Net sales percentage changes are approximations based on quantitative formulas that are consistently applied.

Operating Costs

Gross margin expanded 30 basis points to 50.1% of net sales for the quarter. The increase in gross margin was driven by a 110 basis point impact from higher pricing and a 100 basis point impact from manufacturing cost savings. Gross margin was negatively impacted by 90 basis points from negative product mix behind disproportionate growth in developing regions and mid-tier products, both of which have selling prices lower than Company average. Additionally gross margin was reduced by 50 basis points from incremental restructuring spending in the current period and higher commodity costs.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 1% to $6.4 billion, primarily behind reduced marketing spending, partially offset by an increase in overhead spending. The increase in overhead spending was driven by $192 million in incremental restructuring spending to support the productivity and cost savings plan, partially offset by reductions in historical spending levels. Marketing spending decreased primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased 90 basis points to 31.0%, primarily due to 90 basis points of incremental restructuring spending and a 10 basis point impact from charges for European legal matters.

Non-Operating Costs

Interest expense was $172 million for the quarter, down $35 million versus the prior year period due to lower interest rates on floating rate debt, partially offset by an increase in debt outstanding. Net other non-operating income increased $46 million due to increased investment returns and the sale of the Company's household appliances business.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on continuing operations decreased 40 basis points to 25.4% primarily driven by the net impact of favorable discrete adjustments related to uncertain income tax positions (which netted to 180 basis points in the current quarter and 110 basis points in the prior year period), partially offset by the impact of unfavorable geographic mix of earnings.

Net Earnings

Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble decreased 7% to $2.8 billion for the quarter due to the net sales decrease and operating margin contraction. Operating margin declined 60 basis points primarily due to the SG&A increase partially offset by the gross margin expansion. Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 5% to $0.96. Diluted net earnings per share from discontinued operations decreased by $0.02. Core net earnings per share increased 5% to $1.06. Core EPS represents diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding current year restructuring charges due to the productivity and cost savings plan and charges for European legal matters.

Foreign Currency Translation – Venezuela Impacts

Venezuela is a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Venezuela. Any currency remeasurement adjustments for non-dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by these subsidiaries and other transactional foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings.

The Venezuelan government has established one official exchange rate for qualifying dividends, imported goods and services, equal to 4.3 Bolivares Fuertes to one U.S. dollar. Transactions at the official exchange rate are subject to CADIVI (Venezuela

17

government's Foreign Exchange Administrative Commission). Our overall results in Venezuela are reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements at the 4.3 rate, which is also expected to be applicable to dividend repatriations.

In addition to the official exchange rate, there is a parallel exchange market that is controlled by the Central Bank of Venezuela as the only legal intermediary to execute foreign exchange transactions outside of CADIVI. This is done at the SITME rate which was approximately 5.3 as of September 30, 2012. The notional amount of transactions that run through this foreign exchange rate for nonessential goods is restrictive, which for us has essentially eliminated our ability to access any foreign exchange rate other than the official CADIVI rate to pay for imported goods and/or manage our local monetary asset balances. Finally, the Venezuelan government enacted a price control law during the second half of fiscal 2012 that negatively impacted the net selling prices of certain products sold in Venezuela. The impact of this law was not significant for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, we had net monetary assets denominated in local currency of approximately $1.1 billion. Approximately $336 million of this balance has been remeasured using the SITME rate because we plan to use that amount of the net assets (largely cash) to satisfy U.S. dollar denominated liabilities that do not qualify for official rate dollars. However, as noted in the preceding paragraph, the availability of the parallel market to settle these transactions is uncertain. The remaining net monetary asset balances are currently reflected within our Consolidated Financial Statements at the 4.3 official exchange rate. Depending on the future availability of U.S. dollars at the official rate, our local U.S. dollar needs, our overall repatriation plans and the creditworthiness of the local depository institutions and other creditors, we may have exposure for our local monetary assets. We also have devaluation exposure for the differential between the current and potential future official and parallel exchange rates.

Our ability to effectively manage sales and profit levels in Venezuela will be impacted by several factors. These include the Company's ability to mitigate the effect of the recently enacted price controls, any potential future devaluation, any further Venezuelan government price or exchange controls, economic conditions, and availability of raw materials and utilities.

BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSION – Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

The following discussion provides a review of results by business segment. Analyses of the results for the three months ended September 30, 2012 are provided based on a comparison to the same three month period ended September 30, 2011. The primary financial measures used to evaluate segment performance are net sales and net earnings. The table below provides supplemental information on net sales and net earnings by business segment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 versus the comparable prior year period (amounts in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Total Company	20,739			(4	)%	3,826			(5	)%	2,853			(5	)%

Beauty

Beauty net sales decreased 7% to $4.9 billion during the first fiscal quarter on unit volume decline of 3%. Organic sales decreased 2%. Price increases contributed 2% to net sales growth. Mix negatively impacted net sales by 1% behind a decline in developed regions, which have higher than segment average selling prices. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 5%. Global market share of the Beauty segment decreased 0.5 points. Volume grew low single digits in developing markets and decreased high single digits in developed regions. Volume in Hair Care decreased low single digits due to a double digit decrease in developed regions from the impacts of higher prices and competitive activity, partially offset by a low single-digit increase in developing markets from market growth. Global market share of the hair care category was down less than a point. Volume in Beauty Care

18

decreased mid-single digits due to market share declines particularly in skin care and cosmetics. Global market share of the facial skin care category decreased more than half a point. Volume in Salon Professional increased low single digits due to initiative activity, primarily in developing regions. Volume in Prestige decreased mid-single digits due to minor brand divestitures and to a base period comparison that grew double digits behind several initiatives. Net earnings decreased 4% to $658 million due to lower net sales partially offset by a 50-basis point increase in net earnings margin. Gross margin expansion and a lower effective tax rate were partially offset by higher SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin increased due to manufacturing cost savings and higher pricing. SG&A increased primarily due to an increase in marketing spending as a percentage of net sales.

Grooming

Grooming net sales decreased 7% to $2.0 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 1% decrease in unit volume. Organic sales were up 2% on organic volume that was in line with the prior year period. Price increases contributed 3% to net sales growth. Unfavorable geographic mix decreased net sales by 1%. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 8%. Global market share of the Grooming segment increased 0.1 points. Volume grew mid-single digits in developing regions and decreased mid-single digits in developed regions. Shave Care volume grew low single digits due to a mid-single-digit growth in developing regions primarily behind market growth, partially offset by a low single-digit decrease in developed regions primarily due to market contraction in Western Europe. Global market share of the blades and razors category was up slightly. Volume in Appliances decreased double digits due to competitive activity, market contraction and the sale of the Braun household appliances business. Global market share of the appliances category was down slightly. Net earnings decreased 4% to $466 million due to lower net sales partially offset by an 80-basis point increase in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin increased due to gross margin expansion and reduced SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin increased primarily due to pricing and manufacturing cost savings. SG&A as a percentage of net sales declined primarily due to reduced overhead costs.

Health Care

Health Care net sales decreased 4% to $3.2 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 1% decrease in unit volume. Organic sales were up 2%. Price increases contributed 2% to net sales growth. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 6%. Favorable product mix increased net sales by 1%. Global market share of the Health Care segment decreased 0.4 points. Volume increased mid-single digits in developing regions, while developed regions decreased mid-single digits. Oral Care volume decreased low single digits primarily due to competitive activity in North America and competitive pricing and promotion in Greater China. Global market share of the oral care category was down less than a point. Volume in Personal Health Care increased low single digits due to the addition of the PGT Healthcare partnership and New Chapter VMS acquisition offsetting the divestiture of the PuR business. Organic volume decreased low single digits due to lower shipments of Prilosec OTC in North America. All-outlet value share of the U.S. personal health care market was down more than half a point. Volume in Feminine Care was in line with the prior year period as mid-single digit growth in developing markets behind market growth and product innovation was offset by a mid-single digit decrease in developed regions due to increased promotional activity from competition. Global market share of the feminine care category was down about half a point. Net earnings decreased 6% to $507 million due to lower net sales and a 50-basis point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin declined primarily due to reduced gross margin. Gross margin declined due to increased commodity costs and supply chain investments, partially offset by higher pricing and manufacturing cost savings.

Fabric Care and Home Care

Fabric Care and Home Care net sales decreased 2% to $6.9 billion during the first fiscal quarter on unit volume that was in line with the prior year period. Organic sales were up 2%. Price increases contributed 2% to net sales growth. Mix increased net sales by 1% due to favorable product mix. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 5%. Global market share of the Fabric Care and Home Care segment decreased 0.3 points. A low single digit increase in volume in developing regions was offset by a low single digit decrease in developed regions. Fabric Care volume was in line with the prior year period as a low single digit volume increase in developing regions, driven primarily by market growth, was offset by a low single digit decrease in developed regions primarily due to consumer value issues following price increases taken in previous periods in Western Europe. Global market share of the fabric care category decreased more than half a point. Home Care volume increased low single digits driven by a high single-digit increase in developing markets behind innovation and distribution expansion and a low single-digit increase in developed markets due to growth on Febreze and reduced pricing on Cascade in North America. Global market share of the home care category increased about half a point. Batteries volume decreased low single digits due to market contraction and share losses, primarily behind higher pricing to improve the margin structure in Western Europe, partially offset by growth in developing regions due to initiative activity. Global market share of the batteries category decreased about half a point. Pet Care volume increased low single digits versus a base period that was negatively impacted by customer inventory adjustments. Net earnings increased 10% to $903 million as a 150-basis point increase in net earnings margin was partially offset by the decrease in net sales. Net earnings margin increased mainly due to gross margin expansion. Gross margin increased due to higher pricing

19

and manufacturing cost savings, partially offset by higher commodity costs.

Baby Care and Family Care

Baby Care and Family Care net sales decreased 2% to $4.0 billion during the first fiscal quarter on 2% volume growth. Organic sales were up 3%. Pricing added 3% to net sales growth. Mix reduced net sales by 2% due to product mix and disproportionate growth of developing markets, which have lower than segment average selling prices. Unfavorable foreign exchange decreased net sales by 5%. Global market share of the Baby Care and Family Care segment decreased 0.3 points. Volume in developed and developing regions increased low single digits. Volume in Baby Care decreased low single digits as a mid-single digit decrease in developed regions due to market contraction and competitive promotional activity was partially offset by a mid-single digit increase in developing regions due to market growth, distribution expansion and initiative activity. Global market share of the baby care category decreased about half a point. Volume in Family Care increased mid single digits primarily due to initiative activity on Charmin and Bounty. In the U.S., all-outlet share of the family care category was down slightly. Net earnings increased 4% to $512 million due to a 70-basis point increase in net earnings margin partially offset by the decrease in net sales. Net earnings margin increased primarily due to a higher gross margin. The increase in gross margin was driven by the impact of higher pricing and manufacturing and commodity cost savings, partially offset by unfavorable product and geographic mix.

CORPORATE

Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities not allocated to specific business units. These include: the incidental businesses managed at the corporate level; financing and investing activities; other general corporate items; the historical results of certain divested brands and categories; certain restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization; and certain significant impairment charges. Corporate also includes reconciling items to adjust the accounting policies used in the segments to U.S. GAAP. The most significant reconciling items include income taxes (to adjust from statutory rates that are reflected in the segments to the overall Company effective tax rate), noncontrolling interest adjustments for subsidiaries where we do not have 100% ownership and adjustments for unconsolidated entities (to eliminate net sales, cost of products sold and SG&A for entities that are consolidated in the segments but accounted for using the equity method for U.S. GAAP). Since certain unconsolidated entities and less than 100%-owned subsidiaries are managed as integral parts of the Company, they are accounted for similar to a wholly-owned subsidiary for management and segment purposes. This means our segment results recognize 100% of each income statement component through before-tax earnings in the segments, with eliminations for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests in Corporate. In determining segment net earnings, we apply the statutory tax rates (with adjustments to arrive at the Company's effective tax rate in Corporate). We also eliminate the share of earnings applicable to other ownership interests.

Corporate net sales primarily reflect the adjustment to eliminate the net sales of unconsolidated entities included in business segment results. Accordingly, Corporate net sales are generally a negative balance. Negative net sales in Corporate decreased by $113 million in the first fiscal quarter due to smaller adjustments required to eliminate reduced sales of the unconsolidated entities. Net Corporate expenses increased $169 million in the first fiscal quarter primarily due to incremental after-tax restructuring costs of $257 million, partially offset by lower interest costs and minor acquisition and divestiture activity. Additional discussion of the items impacting net earnings in Corporate are included in the Results of Operations section.

Productivity and Cost Savings Plan

In February 2012, the Company announced a $10 billion 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 program was designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes to fund the Company's growth strategy. 

As part of this plan the Company expects to incur approximately $3.5 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a four-year period (from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2015). More than half of the costs will be incurred by the end of fiscal 2013 and the remainder in fiscal years 2014 and 2015. Savings generated from the restructuring costs are difficult to estimate, given the nature of the activities, the corollary benefits achieved, the timing of the execution and the degree of reinvestment.  Overall, the costs are expected to deliver approximately $2 billion in before-tax annual savings.  The before-tax savings in the current year are expected to be approximately $700 million - $1 billion. 

Restructuring accruals of $466 million as of September 30, 2012 are classified as current liabilities.  Approximately 85% of the restructuring charges incurred during 2013 either have been or will be settled with cash.  Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the resulting charges will be funded by and included within Corporate for segment

20

reporting. 

Refer to Note 8 in our Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on the productivity and cost savings plan.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Operating Activities

We generated $2.8 billion of cash from operating activities for the first fiscal quarter, an increase of $603 million versus the prior year. Net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, deferred income taxes, and gain on sale of businesses), generated $3.6 billion of operating cash flow. This was partially offset by working capital increases. On a year-to-date basis, the net of accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities consumed $1.2 billion of cash. Accounts receivable used $795 million of cash primarily due to increased sales later in the quarter. Inventory consumed $502 million of cash, mainly to support product initiatives and holiday-related shipments in some of our seasonal businesses. Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities generated $64 million of cash, primarily due to the accrual of taxes, partially offset by the payment of prior-year marketing accruals.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities was $739 million for the first fiscal quarter, a decrease of $120 million versus the prior year period. The primary investing activity was capital expenditures, which consumed $805 million or 3.9% of net sales, as compared to $833 million in the prior year period. This was partially offset by cash generated from asset sales of $66 million mainly due to proceeds from the divestiture of the Braun household appliances business.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities consumed net cash of $1.2 billion. We used $2.6 billion for treasury stock purchases and $1.6 billion for dividends and partially funded these cash outlays through a $2.0 billion net increase in debt. Cash consumed by financing activities increased $812 million versus the prior year period primarily due to an increase in the treasury stock purchases, partially offset by increased proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

As of September 30, 2012, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $774 million. We have short- and long-term debt to fund discretionary items such as acquisitions and share repurchase programs. 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 NON-GAAP MEASURES

Our discussion of financial results includes several measures not defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe these measures provide our investors with additional information about the underlying results and trends of the Company, as well as insight to some of the metrics used to evaluate management. When used in MD&A, we have provided the comparable GAAP measure in the discussion.

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 for the July - September quarter:

21

July - September 2012	Net Sales Growth		Foreign Exchange Impact		Acquisition/ Divestiture Impact*		Organic Sales Growth
Beauty	(7	)%	5	%	—	%	(2	)%
Grooming	(7	)%	8	%	1	%	2	%
Health Care	(4	)%	6	%	—	%	2	%
Fabric Care and Home Care	(2	)%	5	%	(1	)%	2	%
Baby Care and Family Care	(2	)%	5	%	—	%	3	%
Total P&G	(4	)%	6	%	—	%	2	%

 * Acquisition/Divestiture Impacts 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 certain items that are not judged to be part of the Company's sustainable results or trends. This includes current year charges related to incremental restructuring charges due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings and current year charges related to pending European legal matters. 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 reported diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations to Core EPS:

Three months ended September 30	2012			2011
Diluted Net Earnings Per Share - Continuing Operations	$	0.96		$	1.01
Incremental Restructuring Charges	0.09			—
Charges for Pending European Legal Matters	0.01			—
CORE EPS	$	1.06		$	1.01
Core EPS Growth	5		%

Note - All reconciling items are presented net of tax. Tax effects are calculated consistent with the nature of the underlying transaction. The significant adjustment to an income tax reserve was tax expense. There was no tax impact on EPS due to the charges for pending European legal matters.

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.

Free Cash Flow Productivity: Free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. The Company’s long-term target is to generate free cash flow at or above 90% of net earnings. Free cash flow productivity 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 and free cash flow productivity is provided below (amounts in millions):

	Operating Cash Flow		Capital Spending			Free Cash  Flow	Net Earnings	Free Cash  Flow Productivity
Jul - Sept ‘12	$	2,770	$	(805	)	1,965	$2,853	69%

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk since June 30, 2012. Additional information can be found in Note 5 - Risk Management Activities and Fair Value Measurements, of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 .

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. McDonald, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Jon R. Moeller, performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Messrs. McDonald and Moeller have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including Messrs. McDonald and Moeller, to allow their timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company is 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 issues, patent and trademark matters, labor and employment matters and tax.

As previously reported, the Company has had a number of antitrust cases in Europe. The Company's policy is to comply with all laws and regulations, including all antitrust and competition laws, and to cooperate with the relevant regulatory authorities, which the Company is doing. In response to the actions of the regulatory authorities, the Company launched its own internal investigations into potential violations of competition laws. The Company identified violations in certain European countries and appropriate actions were taken.

As a result of certain investigations that were previously disclosed, several authorities issued separate complaints alleging that the Company, along with several other companies, engaged in violations of competition laws in the past. The Company resolved several of these matters prior to the most recent quarter.

The Company has antitrust matters at various stages of the regulatory process including Belgium, France, Germany and Greece, and other countries have issued decisions, many of which are on appeal. All of these matters involve a number of other consumer products companies and/or retail customers. Competition and antitrust violations often continue for several years and, if violations are found, can result in substantial fines. No non-monetary sanctions are being sought in these matters.

For certain of the remaining matters listed above, we have established accruals for potential fines and we do not expect any significant incremental fines or costs in excess of amounts accrued for these matters. For other remaining matters, we cannot reasonably estimate any fines to which the Company may be subject as a result of the investigations. Please refer to the Company's Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

In December 2008, the Company became aware of an investigation by Italian authorities into an environmental accident at the site of a contractor which provides services to one or more of the Company's European affiliates. The accident involved the explosion of certain pressurized cans and resulted in the death of one worker and serious injuries to another. Italian authorities have commenced a formal criminal proceeding regarding whether the Company's local affiliate and certain of its employees complied with Italian laws related to the proper classification and disposal of their products. The Company's European affiliate(s) could be levied fines in excess of $100 thousand for this accident.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We discuss our expectations regarding future performance, events and outcomes, such as our business outlook and objectives in this Form 10-Q, the Annual Report to Shareholders, other quarterly reports, press releases and other written and oral communications. All statements, except for historical and present factual information, are “forward-looking statements” and are based on financial data and business plans available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become out of date or incomplete. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or other factors. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could significantly differ from our expectations.

The following discussion of “risk factors” identifies the most significant factors that may adversely affect our business, operations, financial position or future financial performance. This information should be read in conjunction with MD&A and the consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference into this report. The following discussion of risks is not all inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider when evaluating our expectations. These factors could cause our future results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical trends.

A material change in consumer demand for our products could have a significant impact on our business.

We are a consumer products company and rely on continued global demand for our brands and products. To achieve business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to consumers. This is dependent on a number of factors including our ability to develop effective sales, advertising and marketing programs. We expect to achieve our financial targets, in part, by shifting our portfolio towards faster growing, higher margin businesses and by focusing on the most profitable businesses, biggest innovations and most important emerging markets. We also expect to achieve our financial targets, in part, by achieving disproportionate growth in developing regions. If demand for our products and/or market growth rates in either developed or developing markets falls substantially below expected levels or our market share declines significantly in these businesses, our volume, and consequently our results, could be negatively impacted. This could occur due to, among other things, unforeseen negative economic or political events, changes in consumer trends and habits, or negative consumer responses to pricing actions.

The ability to achieve our business objectives is dependent on how well we can compete with our local and global competitors in new and existing markets and channels.

The consumer products industry is highly competitive. Across all of our categories, we compete against a wide variety of global and local competitors. As a result, there are ongoing competitive pressures in the environments in which we operate, as well as challenges in maintaining profit margins. This includes, among other things, increasing competition from mid- and lower-tier value products in both developed and developing markets. To address these challenges, we must be able to successfully respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives and trade terms. In addition, the emergence of new sales channels, such as sales made through the Internet directly to consumers, may affect customer and consumer preferences, as well as market dynamics. Failure to effectively compete in these new channels could negatively impact results.

Our ability to meet our growth targets depends on successful product and operations innovation and our ability to successfully respond to competitive innovation.

Achieving our business results depends, in part, on the successful development, introduction and marketing of new products and improvements to our equipment and manufacturing processes. Successful innovation depends on our ability to correctly anticipate customer and consumer acceptance, to obtain and maintain necessary intellectual property protections, and to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We must also be able to successfully respond to technological advances by and intellectual property rights granted to competition, and failure to do so could compromise our competitive position and impact our results.

Our businesses face cost fluctuations and pressures which could affect our business results.

Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, raw materials, labor costs, energy costs, pension and healthcare costs, foreign exchange and interest rates. Therefore, our success is dependent, in part, on our continued ability to forecast and manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects (including outsourcing projects) and sourcing decisions, while maintaining and improving margins and market share. In addition, our financial projections include cost savings described in our announced productivity plan. Failure to deliver these savings could adversely impact our results.

24

There are risks inherent in global manufacturing which could negatively impact our business results.

In the manufacturing and general overhead areas, we need to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including any key sole supplier and sole manufacturing plant arrangements, to achieve our targets on cost. While we have business continuity and contingency plans for key manufacturing sites and the supply of raw materials, it may be impracticable to have a sufficient alternative source, particularly when the input materials are in limited supply. Any significant disruption of manufacturing, such as labor disputes, loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, and other external factors over which we have no control, could interrupt product supply and, if not remedied, have an adverse impact on our business.

We face risks associated with having significant international operations.

We are a global company, with manufacturing operations in more than 40 countries, and a significant portion of our revenue is outside the U.S. Our international operations are subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

• compliance with U.S. laws affecting operations outside of the United States, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

• compliance with a variety of local regulations and laws;

• changes in tax laws and the interpretation of those laws;

• sudden changes in foreign currency exchange controls;

• discriminatory or conflicting fiscal policies;

• difficulties enforcing intellectual property and contractual rights in certain jurisdictions;

• greater risk of uncollectible accounts and longer collection cycles;

• effective and immediate implementation of control environment processes across our diverse operations and employee base; and

• imposition of more or new tariffs, quotas, trade barriers and similar restrictions on our sales outside the United States.

We have sizable businesses and maintain local currency cash balances in a number of foreign countries with exchange controls, including, but not limited to, Venezuela, China and India. In addition, some countries where we have businesses, such as Argentina, have introduced import restrictions. Our results of operations and/or financial condition could be adversely impacted if we are unable to successfully manage these and other risks of international operations in an increasingly volatile environment.

Fluctuations in exchange rates may have an adverse impact on our business results or financial condition.

We hold assets and incur liabilities, earn revenues and pay expenses in a variety of currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the financial statements of our subsidiaries outside the United States are translated into U.S. dollars. Our operations outside of the U.S. generate a significant portion of our net revenue. Fluctuations in exchange rates may therefore adversely impact our business results or financial condition. See also the Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the MD&A and Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We face risks related to changes in the global and political economic environment, including the global capital and credit markets.

Our business is impacted by global economic conditions, which have recently been volatile. Our products are sold in more than 180 countries around the world. If the global economy experiences significant disruptions, our business could be negatively impacted by reduced demand for our products related to a slow-down in the general economy, supplier or customer disruptions resulting from tighter credit markets, temporary interruptions in our ability to conduct day-to-day transactions through our financial intermediaries involving the payment to or collection of funds from our customers, vendors and suppliers and/or liquidity issues resulting from an inability to access credit markets to obtain cash to support operations.

Our objective is to maintain credit ratings that provide us with ready access to global capital and credit markets. Any downgrade of our current credit ratings by a credit rating agency could increase our future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us. 

We could also be negatively impacted by political crises in individual countries or regions, including sovereign risk related to a deterioration in the credit worthiness or a default by local governments. For example, we could be adversely impacted by continued instability in the banking and governmental sectors of certain countries in the European Union such as Greece, or the negative impact on economic growth resulting from the combination of federal income tax increases and government spending restrictions potentially occurring at the end of calendar year 2012 in the United States (commonly referred to as the “fiscal cliff”).

25

Consequently, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage continued global and/or economic uncertainty, especially in our significant geographical markets, as well as any political or economic disruption. These risks could negatively impact our overall liquidity and financing and borrowing costs, as well as our ability to collect receipts due from governments, including refunds of value added taxes, and/or create significant credit risks relative to our local customers and depository institutions.

If the reputation of the Company or one or more of our brands erodes significantly, it could have a material impact on our financial results.

The Company's reputation is the foundation of our relationships with key stakeholders and other constituencies, such as customers and suppliers. In addition, many of our brands have worldwide recognition. This recognition is the result of the large investments we have made in our products over many years. The quality and safety of our products is critical to our business. Our Company also devotes significant time and resources to programs designed to protect and preserve our reputation, such as social responsibility and environmental sustainability. If we are unable to effectively manage real or perceived issues, including concerns about safety, quality, efficacy, or similar matters, these issues could negatively impact sentiments toward the Company or our products, our ability to operate freely could be impaired and our financial results could suffer. Our financial success is directly dependent on the success of our brands, and the success of these brands can suffer if our marketing plans or product initiatives do not have the desired impact on a brand's image or its ability to attract consumers. Our results could also be negatively impacted if one of our brands suffers a substantial impediment to its reputation due to a significant product recall, product-related litigation, allegations of product tampering, or the distribution and sale of counterfeit products. In addition, given the association of our individual products with the Company, an issue with one of our products could negatively affect the reputation of our other products, or the Company as a whole, thereby potentially hurting results.

Our ability to successfully manage ongoing organizational change could impact our business results.

We have executed a number of significant business and organizational changes including acquisitions, divestitures and workforce optimization projects to support our growth strategies. We expect these types of changes to continue for the foreseeable future. Successfully managing these changes, including retention of key employees, is critical to our business success. Further, ongoing business and organizational changes are likely to result in more reliance on third parties for various services, and that reliance may increase reputational, operational, and compliance risks, including the risk of corruption. We are generally a build-from-within company, and our success is dependent on identifying, developing and retaining key employees to provide uninterrupted leadership and direction for our business. This includes developing organization capabilities in key growth markets where the depth of skilled employees is limited and competition for these resources is intense. Finally, our financial targets assume a consistent level of productivity improvement. If we are unable to deliver expected productivity improvements, while continuing to invest in business growth, our financial results could be adversely impacted.

Our ability to successfully manage ongoing acquisition, joint venture, and divestiture activities could impact our business results.

As a company that manages a portfolio of consumer brands, our ongoing business model involves a certain level of acquisition, joint venture and divestiture activities. We must be able to successfully manage the impacts of these activities, while at the same time delivering against our business objectives. Specifically, our financial results could be adversely impacted if: 1) we are not able to deliver the expected cost and growth synergies associated with our acquisitions and joint ventures, 2) changes in the cash flows or other market-based assumptions cause the value of acquired assets to fall below book value, or 3) we are unable to offset the dilutive impacts from the loss of revenue associated with divested brands. Additionally, joint ventures inherently involve a lesser degree of control over business operations, thereby potentially increasing the financial, legal, operational, and/or compliance risks associated with each joint venture we enter into.

Our business is subject to changes in legislation, regulation and enforcement, and our ability to manage and resolve pending legal matters in the United States and abroad.

Changes in laws, regulations and related interpretations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements and increased enforcement actions and penalties may alter the environment in which we do business. As a U.S. based multinational company we are subject to tax regulations in the United States and multiple foreign jurisdictions, some of which are interdependent. For example, certain income that is earned and taxed in countries outside the United States is not taxed in the United States, provided those earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. If these or other tax regulations should change, our financial results could be impacted.

In addition, our ability to manage regulatory, environmental, tax and legal matters (including product liability, patent, and other intellectual property matters), and to resolve pending legal matters without significant liability may materially impact

26

our results of operations and financial position. Furthermore, if pending legal matters, including the competition law and antitrust investigations described in Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, Commitments and Contingencies, result in fines or costs in excess of the amounts accrued to date, that could materially impact our results of operations and financial position.

There are increasing calls in the United States from members of leadership in both major U.S. political parties for “comprehensive tax reform” which may significantly change the income tax rules that are applicable to U.S. domiciled corporations, such as P&G.   It is very difficult to assess whether the overall effect of such potential legislation would be cumulatively positive or negative for P&G's earnings and cash flows.

A material change in customer relationships or in customer demand for our products could have a significant impact on our business.

We sell most of our products via retail customers, which consist of mass merchandisers, grocery stores, club stores, drug stores and high-frequency stores. Our success is dependent on our ability to successfully manage relationships with our retail trade customers. This includes our ability to offer trade terms that are acceptable to our customers and are aligned with our pricing and profitability targets. Our business could suffer if we cannot reach agreement with a key customer based on our trade terms and principles. Our business would be negatively impacted if a key customer were to significantly reduce the range or inventory level of our products.

Consolidation among our retail customers could create significant cost and margin pressure and lead to more complex work across broader geographic boundaries for both us and our key retailers. This would be particularly challenging if major customers are addressing local trade pressures, local law and regulation changes, or financial distress.

A failure of one or more key information technology systems, networks, processes, associated sites or service providers could have a material adverse impact on our business or reputation.

We rely extensively on information technology (IT) systems, networks, and services, including internet sites, data hosting and processing facilities and tools, and other hardware, software and technical applications and platforms, some of which are managed, hosted, provided and/or used by third-parties or their vendors, to assist in conducting our business. The various uses of these IT systems, networks, and services include, but are not limited to:

• ordering and managing materials from suppliers;

• converting materials to finished products;

• shipping product to customers;

• marketing and selling products to consumers;

• collecting and storing customer, consumer, employee, investor, and other stakeholder information and personal data;

• processing transactions;

• summarizing and reporting results of operations;

• hosting, processing, and sharing confidential and proprietary research, business plans, and financial information;

• complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements;

• providing data security; and

• handling other processes necessary to manage our business.

Increased IT security threats and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a potential risk to the security of our IT systems, networks, and services, as well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data. If the IT systems, networks, or service providers we rely upon fail to function properly, or if we suffer a loss or disclosure of business or stakeholder information, due to any number of causes, ranging from catastrophic events to power outages to security breaches, and our business continuity plans do not effectively address these failures on a timely basis, we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage operations and reputational, competitive and/or business harm, which may adversely impact our results of operations and/or financial condition.

Purchases may be made in the open market and/or private transactions and purchases may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The share repurchases are authorized pursuant to a resolution issued by the Company's Board of Directors and is expected to be financed by issuing a combination of long-term and short-term debt.

(4) The dollar values listed in this column include commissions to be paid to brokers to execute the transactions.

Item 5. Other Information.

On July 1, 2012, the Company adopted ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2011-05), as amended by ASU 2011-12, which deferred the effective date for the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity and requires entities to present the components of net earnings and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We chose to present net earnings and other comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We have applied the guidance retrospectively for all periods previously presented in our 2012 Form 10-K. The consolidated statements of comprehensive income as presented below represent the retrospective application of ASU 2011-05, as revised by ASU 2011-12 for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our 2012 Form 10-K.
