“These results keep us on track to deliver our earnings outlook and to raise estimates for sales growth, cash productivity and cash return to shareowners. Our focus remains on the strategies of superiority, productivity, constructive disruption and continually improving P&G’s organization structure and culture. These strategies have enabled us to build and sustain strong momentum. They remain the right strategies to deliver balanced growth and value creation,” commented Jon Moeller, president and CEO.
Grooming segment organic sales increased five percent versus year ago. Shave Care organic sales increased mid-single digits primarily due to volume growth, increased pricing and positive product and geographic mix from growth in developed markets. Appliances organic sales increased mid-single digits due to increased pricing and positive mix driven by the growth of premium shavers and stylers. This was partially offset by lower volumes versus a high base period which benefited from a pandemic-related consumption surge of in-home shavers and stylers.
Health Care segment organic sales increased eight percent versus year ago; Fabric and Home Care segment organic sales increased eight percent; and Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales increased five percent.
