SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 3, 2025 – In a world of economic ups and downs, consumers and investors alike are looking for stability—and Procter & Gamble continues to deliver. The global consumer goods giant reported its fiscal year 2025 third-quarter results this week, showcasing modest yet meaningful gains in key areas, all while keeping its commitment to shareholders intact.
A Resilient Quarter in a Challenging World
Despite a 2% decline in net sales, P&G's organic sales ticked up 1%, buoyed by pricing strategies that offset flat volume growth. Earnings per share (EPS) and core EPS both rose by 1% to $1.54, a sign of steady financial stewardship in uncertain economic conditions.
“We delivered modest organic sales and EPS growth this quarter in a challenging and volatile consumer and geopolitical environment,” said Jon Moeller, Chairman, President, and CEO. “We remain confident in the longer-term growth prospects for our brands and the markets where we compete.”
Why Consumers Should Care
For everyday shoppers, this means P&G’s trusted brands—from Tide to Pampers—are staying competitive and continuing to innovate without dramatic price hikes. Moeller emphasized the company’s commitment to offering “superior innovation across price tiers,” meaning consumers can expect high-quality products that meet various budget needs.
Whether it’s improved packaging, better-performing formulas, or enhanced customer value, P&G is focused on making life easier, cleaner, and healthier at home.
Segment Highlights: Where Growth Is Happening
P&G’s broad portfolio gives insight into shifting consumer priorities:
- Beauty: Organic sales rose 2%, thanks to strong demand in personal care, despite a slight dip in skincare.
- Grooming: Shaving and grooming products saw a 3% organic sales bump, especially in North America and Europe.
- Health Care: This segment led the pack with 4% organic sales growth, driven by innovation in oral care and growing demand in Latin America.
- Fabric & Home Care: Sales remained steady as premium product mixes balanced out volume declines.
- Baby, Feminine & Family Care: Organic sales dipped slightly by 1%, as changing demographics and shifting buying patterns influenced performance.
Smart Financial Moves for Long-Term Confidence
P&G continues to make shareholder returns a priority. The company returned $3.8 billion this quarter alone through dividends and share buybacks. Notably, it announced its 69th consecutive annual dividend increase, reinforcing its status as a reliable income generator for investors.
Other key financial highlights include:
- Operating cash flow of $3.7 billion.
- Adjusted free cash flow productivity at 75%.
- Updated full-year guidance: core EPS expected to grow 2% to 4%.
Looking Ahead: Balanced Optimism
P&G has adjusted its full-year guidance to reflect a realistic outlook, projecting organic sales growth of 2% and core EPS in the range of $6.72 to $6.82. The company also plans to return a total of around $16 billion to shareholders in fiscal 2025 through dividends and stock repurchases.
Importantly, the company is maintaining its investment in sustainable innovation, even as it navigates commodity cost pressures and foreign exchange challenges.
