CINCINNATI, Aug. 2, 2006 - The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) announced
net sales growth of 25 percent during the April - June quarter to $17.84 billion
and 20 percent for the fiscal year to $68.22 billion, including the addition of
Gillette. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures
and foreign exchange, increased eight percent during the quarter and seven
percent for the fiscal year. Organic sales growth in both periods was well ahead
of the company's post-Gillette organic growth target range of four to six
percent and was broad-based across segments and geographies. Earnings per share
increased six percent during the quarter to $0.55 and four percent during the
fiscal year to $2.64. Excluding the impact of Gillette dilution, base business
earnings per share increased an estimated 17% - 21% for the quarter and 12% -
13% for the fiscal year.
"This marks the fifth consecutive year in which P&G has delivered topline
growth at or above the company's targets," said Chairman of the Board, President
and Chief Executive A.G. Lafley. "Demand for P&G's brands is strong. We're
continuing to drive P&G's business with breakthrough innovations and excellent
in-market execution. This, combined with the great progress on integrating
Gillette, positions P&G to deliver its growth objectives in fiscal year 2007 and
beyond."
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- -----------------
o Net sales for the quarter increased 25 percent to $17.84 billion. For the
fiscal year, sales grew 20 percent to $68.22 billion. Organic sales grew
eight percent for the quarter and seven percent for the fiscal year. Sales
increased behind a steady stream of product innovations that drove market
share increases across most businesses and regions.
o Unit volume grew 23 percent for the quarter and 19 percent for the fiscal
year. Organic volume, which excludes the impacts of acquisitions and
divestitures, increased six percent for both the quarter and the fiscal
year. Growth was broad-based with all geographic regions posting organic
growth in both the quarter and the year, led by double-digit growth in
developing regions.
o Net earnings increased 36 percent during the quarter to $1.90 billion and
25 percent for the fiscal year to $8.68 billion. Earnings increased behind
strong organic sales growth, significant margin improvement and the
addition of Gillette.
o Diluted net earnings per share increased six percent during the quarter and
four percent for the fiscal year to $0.55 and $2.64, respectively. The
impact of Gillette dilution was an estimated $0.06 - $0.08 per share during
the quarter and $0.20 - $0.23 per share for the year.
APRIL - JUNE QUARTER DISCUSSION
- -------------------------------
Net sales for the quarter increased 25 percent to $17.84 billion. Organic
sales increased eight percent, well ahead of the company's post-Gillette organic
sales target range of four to six percent. Price increases taken across several
segments added one percent to sales growth. In addition, a more premium product
mix, driven by product initiatives and the impact of adding the Gillette
business, more than offset the negative mix impact of disproportionate growth in
developing regions and contributed one percent to sales growth.
Unit volume for the April - June quarter increased 23 percent behind the
addition of the Gillette business and strong six percent organic volume growth.
Growth continued to be driven by successful product innovations and continued
expansion in developing regions. Each business segment and every geographic
region increased organic volume during the quarter, led by double-digit growth
in developing regions.
Net earnings during the quarter increased 36 percent to $1.90 billion. Net
earnings increased behind strong organic sales growth, the addition of the
Gillette business and significant margin improvements across most business
segments. Diluted net earnings per share increased six percent to $0.55,
including an estimated $0.06 - $0.08 dilution impact from Gillette. The Gillette
dilution estimate includes approximately $0.04 per share of one-time items.
Gross margin improved by 150-basis points to 50.2% during the quarter.
Commodity costs had a negative impact on gross margin of about 100 basis points.
Organic volume growth, pricing and cost savings projects more than offset
commodity cost increases. The mix benefit from adding the Gillette businesses
contributed approximately 125-basis points.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were 33.6% of net
sales, in-line with the prior-year period. The scale benefits of strong organic
sales growth in the quarter offset acquisition and integration expenses related
to Gillette.
Operating cash flow was $3.19 billion during the quarter, an increase of 53
percent versus the base period. Operating cash improved behind the addition of
the Gillette business, earnings growth on the base business and an improvement
in working capital. Working capital was a net cash improvement due primarily to
a focus on inventory management across the company. Inventory days on hand were
down approximately eight days versus the prior year period on the base P&G
business. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less capital
expenditures, was $2.19 billion during the quarter. Free cash flow productivity
was 115%. Capital expenditures were 5.6% of net sales during the quarter,
leading to a fiscal year expenditure level of 3.9%, slightly below the company's
four percent capital expenditure target.
During the June quarter, the company repurchased $4.0 billion of P&G stock
under the previously announced Gillette share repurchase program. The company
completed its share repurchases under this program in July. The total value of
shares purchased under the program was $20.1 billion. Going forward, the company
has now resumed its discretionary share repurchases.
BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSION FOR THE QUARTER
- -------------------------------------------
The following provides perspective on the company's April - June quarter
results by business segment. All current and historical results and discussion
reflect the company's new segment reporting structure. A summary of the segment
changes, along with revised historical company and segment data conformed for
these changes was provided in the company's Form 8-K filed on July 14, 2006.
BEAUTY AND HEALTH CARE
- ----------------------
o Beauty unit volume increased nine percent during the quarter behind seven
percent organic volume growth and the addition of the Gillette Personal
Care business. Volume growth was driven by high-single digit increases in
Hair Care and Skin Care. Hair Care volume was driven by strong innovation
and growth on Pantene, Head and Shoulders, Rejoice and Herbal Essences.
Skin Care volume was driven by double-digit growth on Olay behind the
continued success of OIay Regenerist and Total Effects. Net sales in Beauty
increased nine percent during the quarter to $5.44 billion. Organic sales
increased seven percent. Lower promotional spending, coupled with price
increases on Feminine Care products in North America, added one percent to
sales growth. Mix had a negative one percent impact on net sales growth as
the shift towards more premium products was more than offset by
disproportionate growth in developing regions. Net earnings increased 20
percent to $737 million during the quarter. Earnings grew behind strong
sales growth and a 120-basis point earnings margin expansion. Margin
expanded as pricing activity, scale benefits from volume growth and
overhead cost savings more than offset an increase in marketing spending as
a percentage of sales.
o Health Care unit volume increased 32 percent behind seven percent organic
growth and the addition of Gillette Oral Care. Pharmaceuticals and Personal
Health unit volume increased in the high-single digits behind mid-teen
growth on Vicks, which benefited during the quarter from a late flu season
in North America, and high-single digit growth on Actonel. Organic volume
in Oral Care increased mid-single digits behind strong market share growth
on Crest toothpaste in the United States. Additionally, Oral-B toothbrush
market share increased by more than one point globally. Health Care net
sales increased 35 percent to $1.97 billion, with organic sales up eight
percent. Favorable product mix, due primarily to the effect of adding the
Gillette Oral Care business, added one percent to sales growth. Pricing
increases taken in prior periods on Prilosec OTC and Actonel added an
additional two percent to sales growth. Net earnings increased 72 percent
to $203 million behind the addition of Oral-B, strong organic sales growth
and a 225-basis point earnings margin expansion. Earnings margin expanded
as the benefits of higher volume, pricing and a more profitable product mix
outpaced the increase in overhead and marketing expenses.
HOUSEHOLD CARE
- --------------
o Fabric Care and Home Care unit volume increased eight percent as continued
success from product innovations led to broad share growth across the
globe. All key brands, including Tide, Ariel, Gain, Downy, Bounce, Febreze
and Swiffer delivered mid-single digit or higher unit volume growth during
the quarter. Net sales increased nine percent to $4.35 billion. Price
increases taken in prior periods in Fabric Care and Dish Care added one
percent to sales growth. The positive mix impact of continued growth in
premium products offset the negative mix impact of disproportionate growth
in developing regions. Net earnings increased 16 percent during the quarter
to $524 million. Results reflect the top-line progress, as well as
continued cost savings efforts in the face of rising commodity costs. The
scale benefits of volume growth, coupled with price increases and cost
savings programs, more than offset the impact of rising commodity costs.
o Baby Care and Family Care unit volume increased one percent during the
quarter. Organic volume increased two percent. Baby Care volume was up in
the low-single digits behind double-digit growth in developing regions. In
developed regions, Pampers Baby Stages of Development continued to grow
behind solid market share increases, but was more than offset by softness
on Baby Dry and Luvs diapers. Family Care organic volume also increased
low-single digits behind market share growth in the United States on Bounty
and Charmin. Net sales for the segment increased four percent to $3.08
billion. Organic sales increased five percent. Pricing increases taken in
prior periods in North America and Western Europe, primarily to offset
rising commodity and energy costs, added three percent to sales growth.
Earnings increased 46 percent to $323 million behind sales growth and a
300-basis point margin improvement. Earnings margin increased behind both
gross margin and SG&A improvements as a percentage of sales. Gross margin
improved as the impacts of price increases and cost savings projects more
than offset increased commodity and energy costs.
o Pet Health, Snacks and Coffee unit volume increased two percent during the
quarter. Snacks unit volume increased in the high-single digits behind
successful initiative and marketing activity, particularly in Western
Europe. Coffee delivered record market share levels in North America,
however, unit volume declined slightly due primarily to trade inventory
reductions. Pet Health volume was down slightly as a result of strong
competitive activity. Net sales for the segment increased two percent to
$1.11 billion. Net earnings decreased 37 percent during the June quarter to
$77 million as double-digit earnings growth in Snacks was more than offset
by a decline in Coffee and Pet Health. Coffee earnings were down
year-on-year against a very strong base period in which earnings were up
double-digits as a result of the timing of coffee market pricing relative
to P&G's net coffee bean costs.
GILLETTE GBU (Comparisons are versus pro forma results presented in the
company's Form 8-K released on October 4, 2005)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
o Net sales in Blades and Razors were down five percent to $1.16 billion for
the quarter as a result of significant trade inventory reduction across the
globe driven by integration activities and trade-specific actions. Consumer
demand remained strong during the quarter with consumption up five percent
globally. Additionally, Fusion in North America continues to deliver strong
results. The divergence between consumption trends and shipments was due
primarily to retailer and distributor inventory reductions, estimated to be
about one week. The impact of price increases added one percent to sales.
Earnings before income taxes declined 26 percent to $340 million primarily
due to increased amortization charges from purchase accounting adjustments
which negatively impacted earnings before income taxes by 20 percent.
Earnings also declined due to the impact of lower shipments during the
quarter, partially offset by the benefits of pricing activity and cost
savings. Reported net earnings for the segment were $244 million during the
quarter.
o Duracell and Braun net sales were $882 million during the quarter, in-line
with the prior year period. Volume/mix increased sales by one percent
during the quarter. Duracell market share increased by 1.2 points in North
America during the quarter. Duracell unit volume was down, however, due to
retailer inventory reductions in North America and strong competitive
activity in Western Europe. In Braun, growth in developing regions behind
new product initiatives was offset by a decline in the shaver category in
Japan and strong competitive activity in Western Europe. Pricing activity,
primarily on Duracell, had a positive three percent impact on sales growth.
However, an accrual adjustment for trade promotion in the base period had a
negative four percent year-on-year impact. Net pricing had a negative one
percent impact on sales during the quarter. Earnings before income taxes
declined 35 percent during the quarter to $81 million, including purchase
accounting adjustments that negatively impacted earnings before income
taxes by six percent. Earnings decreased as cost savings were more than
offset by higher commodity costs. Reported net earnings were $54 million
during the quarter.
FISCAL YEAR DISCUSSION
- ----------------------
In fiscal year 2006, the company delivered a fifth consecutive year of net
sales growth at or above its target range. Net sales in 2006 increased 20
percent to $68.22 billion. Sales increased behind the addition of Gillette and
strong growth on the base P&G businesses. Organic sales, which exclude the
impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange, increased seven
percent. Sales growth was broad-based across all regions and driven by growth on
key P&G brands. Price increases taken across the segments, primarily to offset
rising commodity costs, contributed one percent to sales growth. In addition, a
more premium product mix, including the effect of adding Gillette products, more
than offset the impact of disproportionate growth in developing regions and
contributed one percent to sales growth. Foreign exchange had a negative one
percent impact on sales growth during the fiscal year.
Volume increased 19 percent during the year driven by the addition of the
Gillette business and strong six percent organic volume growth. Growth was
driven by strong consumer-focused marketing programs, successful product
innovations, continued expansion in developing markets and a continued focus on
big brands and big customers. Each of P&G's top 16 countries and every
geographic region increased organic volume during the year, with developing
regions growing double-digits. In addition, each of P&G's billion-dollar brands
increased volume during the year, except Folgers, which was impacted by
Hurricane Katrina. With the addition of Gillette, P&G now has a total of 22
billion-dollar brands.
Net earnings increased 25 percent during the fiscal year to $8.68 billion.
Net earnings increased behind sales growth and a 50-basis point earnings margin
improvement. Earnings margin improved across nearly every business segment
behind solid volume growth, pricing activity and cost savings programs. These
were partially offset by higher commodity costs and expenses related to the
Gillette acquisition. Diluted net earnings per share increased four percent to
$2.64, including an estimated $0.20 - $0.23 dilution impact from Gillette. Base
business restructuring costs were in-line with previous guidance of $150-$200
million. In addition, Gillette one-time charges were $0.10-$0.11 per share.
Gross margin improved by 50-basis points to 51.4% during the fiscal year.
Higher commodity costs hurt gross margin by over 100-basis points, but were
largely offset by strong organic volume growth, cost savings programs and price
increases. The addition of Gillette contributed approximately 80-basis points to
gross margin.
SG&A as a percent of sales improved 40-basis points in 2006 to 32.0%.
Overhead spending was down as a percentage of sales due to strong organic sales
growth. Advertising expense increased to record high levels on the base P&G
business but was down as a percentage of sales versus the prior year due to the
impact of higher than expected organic sales growth, coupled with media
purchasing synergies generated by the Gillette acquisition and a continued focus
on marketing ROI programs.
The company's operating cash flow for the fiscal year was $11.38 billion,
an increase of 31 percent versus the prior year. Operating cash increased behind
the addition of Gillette, higher earnings on the base P&G business and working
capital improvements. Working capital was a net source of cash primarily due to
inventory reductions during the year. Inventory days on hand improved by
approximately eight days during the year on the base P&G businesses. Capital
expenditures during the year were 3.9 percent of net sales, slightly below the
company's four percent capital expenditure target. Free cash flow, defined as
operating cash flow less capital expenditures, was $8.71 billion. Free cash flow
productivity was 100% during the year, well above the company's 90% productivity
target.
FISCAL YEAR BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSION
- ---------------------------------------
The following provides perspective on the company's fiscal year 2006
results by business segment. All current and historical results and discussion
reflect the company's new segment reporting structure. A summary of the segment
changes, along with revised historical company and segment data conformed for
these changes, was provided in the company's Form 8-K filed on July 14, 2006.
BEAUTY AND HEALTH CARE
- ----------------------
o Beauty unit volume increased eight percent in 2006, including nine months
of Gillette Personal Care results. Organic volume increased six percent.
Volume growth was broad-based across categories and was driven by
initiative activity including Pantene Color Expressions, Head & Shoulders
brand restage, Olay Regenerist, Olay Ribbons and a technology improvement
on Always. Growth was also driven by continued successful expansion in
developing regions, where unit volume increased double-digits during the
year. Unit volume in Hair Care increased in the high-single digits behind
Pantene, Head & Shoulders and Rejoice. Feminine Care unit volume also grew
by high-single digits behind new product innovations on Always and
continued growth on Naturella. Skin Care unit volume was up double-digits
behind strong results on the Olay brand. Unit volume in Cosmetics declined
due to more focused Max Factor distribution and a high base period on Cover
Girl with significant initiative pipeline shipments. Beauty net sales
increased seven percent to $21.13 billion in 2006, including a negative one
percent foreign exchange impact. Organic sales increased six percent. Net
earnings increased 13 percent to $3.11 billion driven by sales growth and
margin expansion. Earnings margin increased by 75-basis points as scale
benefits of volume growth and cost savings initiatives more than offset
rising commodity costs. Total marketing spending on the base P&G business
(excluding Gillette) increased roughly in-line with net sales growth in
support of continued initiative activity across the globe.
o Health Care unit volume increased 26 percent in 2006 behind seven percent
organic growth and the impact of nine months of Gillette Oral Care results.
Pharmaceuticals and Personal Health volume increased high-single digits
behind strong growth on Prilosec OTC and Actonel. Prilosec OTC volume
increased double-digits behind continued share growth and a base year
comparison which included several months of shipment allocations. Oral Care
unit volume increased double-digits behind mid-single digit organic volume
growth and the addition of Gillette Oral-B. Oral Care organic volume grew
behind global market share expansion, particularly behind growth in the
United States and in developing regions. Net sales in Health Care grew 29
percent to $7.85 billion, including nine months of Gillette Oral Care sales
and a negative one percent foreign exchange impact. Organic sales increased
nine percent. Price increases, primarily on Actonel and Prilosec OTC, added
two percent to sales growth. In addition, favorable product mix, including
the addition of the Gillette Oral Care business, added two percent to sales
growth. Net earnings increased 44 percent to $1.17 billion behind the
addition of Oral-B, strong organic sales growth and a 150-basis point
earnings margin expansion. Earnings margin expanded as volume growth scale
benefits and pricing activity outpaced the increase in overhead spending
and marketing spending.
HOUSEHOLD CARE
- --------------
o Fabric Care and Home Care unit volume grew eight percent in 2006. Growth
was broad-based with high single-digit growth in Fabric Care and mid-single
digit growth in Home Care. Unit volume growth was driven by market share
expansion behind product innovations such as Tide with Febreze, Gain Joyful
Expressions, Bounce with Febreze, Bold Liquid Tabs, Dawn Direct Foam and
Febreze Noticeables. Every region delivered mid-single digit or higher unit
volume growth, led by double-digit growth in developing regions. Net sales
increased nine percent to $17.15 billion, including a negative one percent
foreign exchange impact. Price increases, primarily in Latin America Fabric
Care and North America Dish Care, added two percent to sales growth. Net
earnings increased 11 percent to $2.37 billion as volume growth, price
increases and cost savings initiatives more than offset commodity cost
increases and increased marketing investments behind initiative activity.
o Baby Care and Family Care volume increased three percent in 2006, with
organic volume up four percent. Baby Care volume increased in the
mid-single digits with developing regions up double-digits, primarily
behind share growth in Greater China and in Central & Eastern Europe/Middle
East/Africa. In developed regions, Baby Care volume declined slightly as
growth on Pampers Baby Stages of Development and Kandoo was more than
offset by softness on Baby Dry and Luvs diapers. Family Care organic volume
grew in the mid-single digits, largely behind growth on Bounty and on the
Charmin Basic initiative. Net sales in the Baby Care and Family Care
segment were $11.97 billion, up three percent, including a negative one
percent foreign exchange impact. Price increases added two percent to sales
growth, but were partially offset by a negative one percent mix impact.
Baby Care and Family Care net earnings increased nine percent to $1.30
billion behind sales growth and a 60-basis point earnings margin
improvement. Earnings margin increased behind both gross margin and SG&A
improvements as a percentage of sales. Gross margin improved as the scale
benefits of volume growth, price increases and cost savings projects more
than offset increased commodity and energy costs.
o Pet Health, Snacks and Coffee unit volume was flat in 2006 despite a
high-single digit decline in Coffee volume from shipment disruptions
following Hurricane Katrina. The company's primary Coffee manufacturing and
warehousing facilities, located in New Orleans, incurred significant
disruption from Hurricane Katrina. The company was unable to manufacture
and ship at full capacity for over three months during the year. U.S.
market share in Coffee declined by approximately two points during the
year, but regained momentum to reach record levels by the end of the fiscal
year. Pet Health volume declined slightly during the year due to strong
competitive activity in North America and Western Europe. These declines
were offset by mid-single digit growth in Snacks behind Pringles. Net sales
for the segment increased two percent to $4.38 billion. Price increases in
Coffee added two percent to sales growth. Earnings declined 13 percent to
$385 million as strong earnings growth in Snacks and the impact of pricing
in Coffee was more than offset by costs incurred during the fiscal year
related to Hurricane Katrina, higher coffee bean prices and a decline in
Pet Health earnings.
GILLETTE GBU (Comparisons are versus pro forma results presented in the
company's Form 8-K released on October 4, 2005)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
o Sales for Blades and Razors for the nine months since the Gillette
acquisition closed on October 1, 2005, increased one percent versus the
comparable prior year pro forma results to $3.50 billion, including a
negative one percent foreign exchange impact. Mid-single digit sales growth
in North America behind the launch of Fusion, coupled with double-digit
growth in Latin America and Central & Eastern Europe was largely offset by
declines in Western Europe and Asia. Western Europe sales were impacted by
a strong base period that included the launch of M3Power along with
significant current year period retailer inventory reductions. In several
developing markets in Asia, sales declined as a result of reduced
distributor inventory levels following integration into existing P&G
distributors. There are significantly fewer P&G distributors and these
distributors generally tend to hold lower levels of inventory than the
existing Gillette distributors. Consumer demand remained strong during the
period with consumption up five percent globally and six percent in North
America. Price increases contributed two percent to sales growth. Earnings
before income taxes declined 13 percent to $1.08 billion, including $294
million of acquisition-related charges that negatively impacted earnings by
24 percent during the period. The acquisition-related charges primarily
represented increased amortization charges as a result of revaluing
Gillette's intangible assets to fair market value and increased product
costs from revaluing opening inventory balances at fair value. Earnings
were also impacted by an increase in the current year marketing investment
behind the launch of Fusion, offset by synergy savings from cost reductions
and base period charges for severance and other charges associated with
Gillette's Functional Excellence program, the European Manufacturing
Realignment program and other asset write-downs. Net earnings were $781
million since the acquisition closed on October 1, 2005.
o Sales for Duracell and Braun since the acquisition closed on October 1,
2005, were $2.92 billion, in-line with the comparable prior year period pro
forma results including a negative two percent foreign exchange impact. In
the Duracell business, market share growth in North America and the impacts
of price increases to compensate for rising commodity costs were offset by
strong competitive activity in Western Europe. Braun sales increased in the
low-single digits as double-digit growth in Central & Eastern Europe/Middle
East/Africa behind new product initiatives was largely offset by declines
in Western Europe due to strong competitive activity. Earnings before
income taxes increased nine percent to $400 million, including
acquisition-related charges of $60 million that negatively impacted
earnings by 16 percent in the period. The acquisition-related charges
primarily represented increased amortization charges as a result of
revaluing Gillette's intangible assets to fair market value and increased
product costs for revaluing opening inventory balances at fair value.
Earnings margin was favorably impacted by base period charges for severance
and other exit costs associated with Gillette's Functional Excellence
program, including charges related to the shutdown of a manufacturing
facility, as well as current-year synergy savings from pre- and
post-acquisition cost reduction efforts. Net earnings were $273 million
since the acquisition closed on October 1, 2005.
FISCAL YEAR 2007 AND JULY - SEPTEMBER QUARTER GUIDANCE
- ------------------------------------------------------
For 2007, the company expects to deliver its fifth consecutive year of ten
percent or better earnings per share growth, excluding the impact of Gillette
dilution. Organic sales are expected to grow by four to six percent. The
combination of pricing and product mix is expected to have a neutral to positive
one percent impact on sales growth. Foreign exchange is expected to have a
positive impact of about one percent. Acquisitions and divestitures are expected
to add about four percent to sales growth. Total sales are expected to increase
9 to 11 percent. The company expects earnings per share to be in the range of
$2.96 to $3.00, up 12 to 14 percent versus prior year. This includes Gillette
dilution, which is expected to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.18 per share.
Operating margins are expected to improve by about 100-basis points driven
primarily by gross margin improvement. The tax rate for fiscal year 2007 is
expected to be flat to down slightly, due mainly to strong growth in lower tax
rate regions. One-time items associated with the Gillette acquisition are
expected to be $0.06 to $0.08 per share.
For the July - September quarter, organic sales are expected to grow by
five to seven percent. The combination of pricing and product mix is expected to
add one to two percent to sales growth. Foreign exchange is expected to have a
neutral to positive one percent impact on sales growth. Acquisitions and
divestitures are expected to add 18 to 19 percent to sales growth. Total sales
are expected to increase 23 to 27 percent. The company expects earnings per
share to be in the range of $0.76 to $0.78. This includes Gillette dilution,
which is expected to be $0.05 - $0.07 during the quarter. Operating margins are
expected to be up modestly driven by gross margin improvement. One-time items
associated with the Gillette acquisition are expected to be about $0.03 per
share.

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.
The reconciliation of reported sales growth to organic sales in the April - June
2006 quarter:
Baby and
Health Family
Total P&G Beauty Care Care
--------- ------ ------ -------
Total Sales Growth 25% 9% 35% 4%
Less: Foreign Exchange Impact 0% 0% 0% 0%
Less: Acquisition/Divestiture Impact -17% -2% -27% 1%
---- --- ---- --
Organic Sales Growth 8% 7% 8% 5%
The reconciliation of reported sales growth to organic sales in the 2006 fiscal
year:
Health
Total P&G Beauty Care
--------- ------ ------
Total Sales Growth 20% 7% 29%
Less: Foreign Exchange Impact 1% 1% 1%
Less: Acquisition/Divestiture Impact -14% -2% -21%
---- --- ----
Organic Sales Growth 7% 6% 9%
BASE BUSINESS EPS. Base EPS growth is defined as diluted earnings per share
growth on the company's business excluding the impact of Gillette dilution.
Management views this as a more comparable measure of year-on-year earnings per
share growth since the effects of Gillette only impact the current year period.
The following provides a reconciliation of Base Business EPS and Base Business
EPS growth in the April - June quarter versus the comparable prior year period:
Diluted EPS per Share (April-June 2006) $0.55
Gillette Dilution Impact (April-June 2006) $0.06 - $0.08
-------------
Base Business EPS (April-June 2006) $0.61 - $0.63
Diluted EPS (April-June 2005) $0.52
Base Business EPS Growth 17% - 21%
The following provides a reconciliation of Base Business EPS and Base Business
EPS growth in fiscal year 2006 versus fiscal year 2005:
Diluted EPS per Share (Fiscal 2006) $2.64
Gillette Dilution Impact (Fiscal 2006) $0.20 - $0.23
-------------
Base Business EPS (Fiscal 2006) $2.84 - $2.87
Diluted EPS (Fiscal 2005) $2.53
Base Business EPS Growth 12% - 13%
FREE CASH FLOW. Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less
capital spending. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is
one factor in determining the amount of cash available for dividends and
discretionary investment. Free cash flow is also one of the measures used to
evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk
compensation.
FREE CASH FLOW PRODUCTIVITY. Free cash flow productivity is defined as the
ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. The company's long-term target is to
generate free cash at or above 90 percent of net earnings. Free cash flow is
also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management. The reconciliation
of free cash flow and free cash flow productivity is provided below ($
millions):
