P&G Reports 8% Net Sales and 22% EPS Growth in the Fourth QuarterAnnounces $24 - $30 Billion Share Repurchase Program; Confirms Fiscal 2008 EPS Guidance
CINCINNATI, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE: PG) announced net sales growth of eight percent for the April - June quarter to $19.3 billion and 12 percent growth for the fiscal year to $76.5 billion. Diluted net earnings per share increased 22 percent for the quarter to $0.67 behind sales growth and a 110-basis point operating margin improvement. For the fiscal year, diluted net earnings per share were up 15 percent to $3.04. The impact of Gillette dilution for the fiscal year was an estimated $0.10 - $0.12 per share, slightly better than the company's expectations primarily due to faster than expected cost synergies. Every segment grew organic sales for the year, led by high-single digit growth in Blades & Razors and Fabric & Home Care and mid-single digit growth in Beauty and Health Care. The company also announced a significant increase in its share repurchase plans. P&G now plans to repurchase $24 - $30 billion of company shares over the next three years at a rate of $8 - $10 billion per year. This represents a substantial increase versus the company's fiscal 2007 repurchase level of $5.6 billion. "This marks the sixth consecutive year in which P&G delivered topline growth at or above the company's targets," said Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive A.G. Lafley. "These results were achieved at the same time the organization was integrating Gillette, which is progressing ahead of plan. Our strong cash generation results and our confidence in the business outlook have enabled us to substantially increase our share repurchase commitment for the next three years. I am confident we have the right strategies and capabilities in place and are making the right investment choices to take full advantage of the significant growth opportunities ahead of us." Executive Summary
-- Net sales increased eight percent for the quarter to $19.3 billion and
12 percent for the fiscal year to $76.5 billion. Sales growth was
broad-based, driven by successful initiatives across key brands and
continued double-digit growth in developing regions.
-- Net earnings were up 19 percent for both the quarter and fiscal year to
$2.3 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively. Earnings increased
behind sales growth and significant operating margin improvement.
Operating margin improved 110-basis points for the quarter and 80-basis
points for the fiscal year.
-- Diluted net earnings per share increased 22 percent for the quarter and
15 percent for the fiscal year to $0.67 and $3.04, respectively. The
impact of Gillette dilution for the fiscal year was an estimated $0.10
- $0.12 per share.
-- For the fiscal year, operating cash flow was $13.4 billion and free
cash flow was $10.5 billion. Free cash flow productivity was 101%,
above P&G's annual target of 90%. Capital spending was 3.9% of net
sales, slightly better than the company's 4% annual target.
April - June Quarter Discussion
Net sales for the quarter increased eight percent to $19.3 billion. Sales growth was led by double-digit increases in Blades & Razors, Fabric & Home Care and Health Care behind successful product initiatives including Gillette Fusion, Tide Simple Pleasures and Crest Pro-Health. Volume increased five percent behind broad-based geographic growth, led by double-digit growth in developing regions. Each segment delivered mid-single digit or higher year- on-year volume growth except Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care, which was impacted by the voluntary recall of certain wet pet foods in March. Foreign exchange contributed three percent to sales growth. Organic sales increased five percent for the quarter. Net earnings increased 19 percent for the quarter to $2.3 billion. Net earnings were up behind strong sales growth and a 110-basis point operating margin improvement. Diluted net earnings per share increased 22 percent to $0.67. Gross margin improved by 70-basis points to 50.8% during the quarter. Commodity and energy costs had a negative impact on gross margin of about 40- basis points. Scale leverage from volume growth and cost savings projects more than offset commodity cost increases, driving the year-on-year margin improvement. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were down 40-basis points to 33.2% of net sales due to lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales. Overhead spending improved due to volume scale leverage, Gillette- related cost synergies and overhead cost control. Operating cash flow was $3.6 billion during the quarter, an increase of 12 percent versus the base period. Operating cash was driven by strong earnings and an improvement in working capital behind lower inventory days on hand. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, was $2.6 billion during the quarter and 116% of net earnings. Capital expenditures were 4.9% of net sales during the quarter. Business Segment Discussion for the Quarter The following provides perspective on the company's April - June quarter results by business segment. Beauty and Health Care
-- Beauty net sales increased eight percent during the quarter to $5.9
billion. Volume increased four percent and product mix added two
percent to net sales. Favorable product mix was driven by double-digit
sales growth on Prestige Fragrances behind Dolce & Gabbana, Escada and
Lacoste. Foreign exchange had a positive three percent impact on net
sales while higher promotion spending resulted in a negative one
percent net pricing impact. The sales disruption in Asia resulting
from the temporary suspension of SK-II shipments in China earlier in
the fiscal year had a negative one percent impact on global Beauty
sales during the quarter. Skin Care and Feminine Care each delivered
high-single digit organic volume growth behind continued success on
Olay Definity and Regenerist and the Always Clean and Fresh
initiatives. Hair Care organic volume grew mid-single digits behind
strong growth on Pantene and Head & Shoulders. Net earnings increased
nine percent during the quarter to $807 million behind strong sales
growth. Profit margin was up 20-basis points driven by lower overhead
spending as a percentage of net sales, largely offset by higher
marketing spending to support initiative activity across categories and
regions and the negative mix impact from lower SK-II sales.
-- Health Care net sales were up 11 percent during the quarter to $2.2
billion. Oral Care sales increased high-teens behind continued success
on Crest Pro-Health, double-digit growth on Oral-B and strong results
in developing regions. Crest all-outlet toothpaste share in the U.S.
increased nearly two points versus the year-ago period. In
Pharmaceuticals and Personal Health, sales were up high-single digits
as the addition of the Swiss Precision Diagnostics joint venture with
Inverness Medical and pricing in Pharmaceuticals more than offset lower
volume on Vicks versus a very strong base shipment period. Health Care
volume was up four percent globally. Price increases in
Pharmaceuticals and a more premium product mix, driven largely by
strong growth on Crest Pro-Health, each contributed two percent to net
sales. Foreign exchange had a positive three percent impact. Net
earnings increased 23 percent for the quarter to $249 million.
Earnings increased as volume growth, pricing and lower overhead
spending as a percentage of net sales more than offset higher marketing
spending.
Household Care
-- Fabric Care and Home Care net sales increased 10 percent during the
quarter to $4.8 billion behind eight percent volume growth. Volume
growth was broad-based with mid-single digit growth in developed
regions and double-digit growth in developing regions. In Fabric Care,
volume was up high-single digits with strong growth on Tide, Ariel,
Gain and Downy. Home Care volume also grew high-single digits behind
continued successful expansion of automatic dishwashing products in
Western Europe and strong results on Swiffer and Febreze in North
America. Price increases added one percent to net sales and foreign
exchange contributed three percent to sales growth. These were
partially offset by a negative two percent mix impact from
disproportionate growth in developing regions. Net earnings increased
30 percent to $681 million. Earnings grew behind strong volume growth
and margin expansion resulting primarily from lower overhead spending
as a percentage of net sales and manufacturing cost savings projects.
-- Baby Care and Family Care net sales increased five percent during the
quarter to $3.2 billion behind six percent volume growth. Volume in
Baby Care was up high-single digits with broad-based growth across both
developed and developing regions. Developed region growth was driven
by continued success on the Baby Dry Caterpillar Flex initiative and
the new Baby Stages wipes launch in North America. In Family Care,
volume increased mid-single digits behind a successful product upgrade
initiative on Bounty and continued strong results on the Charmin and
Bounty Basic products. Disproportionate growth on larger pack sizes
and in developing regions resulted in a negative two percent mix impact
on sales. Favorable foreign exchange added three percent to segment
sales but was partially offset by a negative two percent pricing impact
from higher promotion spending. Net earnings increased three percent
for the quarter to $334 million. The impact of higher volume,
manufacturing cost savings projects and lower overhead spending as a
percentage of net sales were largely offset by higher pulp costs and a
less profitable product mix.
-- Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care net sales increased two percent to $1.1
billion for the quarter. Coffee sales were up double-digits primarily
due to previously executed price increases and a low base period from
Katrina impacts. Pet Care sales were down primarily due to the
continued impact of the voluntary recall of certain wet pet foods in
the third quarter. Total segment volume was down two percent for the
quarter. Coffee price increases and favorable foreign exchange each
added two percent to net sales. Net earnings increased 61 percent to
$124 million for the quarter. Net earnings increased primarily due to
base period expenses related to Hurricane Katrina and Coffee pricing
impacts.
Gillette GBU
-- Net sales in Blades and Razors were up 18 percent to $1.4 billion for
the quarter. Volume grew six percent behind continued success on
Fusion, the launch of Venus Breeze in North America and low base period
shipments. Fusion market share increased about 10 points in the U.S.
versus the prior year period. Favorable product mix, resulting from
disproportionate Fusion growth, and positive foreign exchange trends
each added five percent to net sales growth. Previously executed price
increases across several shaving systems contributed an additional two
percent to net sales. Net earnings increased 19 percent to $290
million for the quarter. Earnings grew behind sales growth and lower
overhead spending as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by
higher marketing expenses.
-- Duracell and Braun net sales increased four percent to $919 million.
In Duracell, volume increased double-digits as very strong growth in
developing regions was partially offset by strong competitive activity
in Western Europe and in North America. Braun volume was down for the
quarter as good results on 360 Complete and Contour shavers in North
America and Pulsonic in Japan and Germany were more than offset by the
impact of the divestiture of thermometer and blood pressure devices,
strong competitive activity in Europe and softness on household
appliances. Volume was up two percent for the segment. Previously
executed price increases in Duracell added two percent to sales and
favorable foreign exchange contributed three percent. These were
partially offset by a negative three percent mix impact resulting
primarily from unfavorable product mix in Duracell. Net earnings
increased 17 percent to $63 million for the quarter primarily due to
volume growth, pricing and lower marketing expenses during the quarter.
Fiscal Year Discussion
Net sales in fiscal 2007 increased 12 percent to $76.5 billion. Sales were up behind nine percent volume growth, including the impact of an additional three months of Gillette in fiscal 2007. Growth was driven by initiative activity such as Gillette Fusion, Pantene brand restage, Olay Definity and Regenerist, Dolce & Gabbana "The One", Always Clean, Tide Simple Pleasures, Gain Joyful Expressions, Swiffer upgrade and Pampers Caterpillar Flex. Price increases added one percent to net sales and favorable foreign exchange contributed two percent. Organic sales were up five percent with each reportable segment delivering year-on-year growth. Net earnings grew 19 percent during the fiscal year to $10.3 billion. Net earnings increased behind sales growth and an 80-basis point improvement in operating margin. Diluted net earnings per share increased 15 percent to $3.04, including an estimated $0.10 - $0.12 dilution impact from Gillette. Gillette dilution was better than the company's expectations primarily due to faster than expected cost synergies. Gross margin improved 60-basis points to 52.0% during the fiscal year. Higher commodity costs hurt gross margin by over 60-basis points but were more than offset by scale leverage from strong organic volume growth, cost savings projects and Gillette cost synergies. The favorable mix impact of the additional three months of Gillette results in fiscal 2007 contributed approximately 30-basis points to gross margin. SG&A as a percent of sales improved 20-basis points in fiscal 2007 to 31.8% driven by lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales. Overhead spending improved as volume scale leverage, Gillette-related cost synergies and overhead cost controls more than offset the impact of higher Gillette acquisition-related expenses. The company's operating cash flow for the fiscal year was $13.4 billion, an increase of 18 percent versus the prior year. Operating cash increased primarily behind higher earnings. Working capital increased during the year primarily to support business growth. Capital expenditures were 3.9% percent of net sales, in-line with the prior year and slightly better than the company's four percent target. Free cash flow was $10.5 billion for the year and free cash flow productivity was 101% during the year, well above the company's 90% target. Fiscal Year Business Segment Discussion
Beauty and Health Care
-- Beauty net sales increased nine percent for the year to $23.0 billion
behind a five percent volume increase. Volume growth was broad-based
across nearly all categories, driven by initiative activity on key
brands and continued expansion in developing regions. Prestige
Fragrances volume grew double-digits primarily behind the addition of
Dolce & Gabbana and success on "The One", Boss Selection and Boss Femme
fragrance initiatives. Skin Care volume was up high-single digits
behind Olay Definity and Regenerist. Hair Care volume increased mid-
single digits driven by strong developing market growth and product
initiatives on Pantene, Head & Shoulders and Herbal Essences. Feminine
Care volume grew high-single digits behind the Always Clean and Fresh
initiatives and product upgrades on Tampax Pearl. Favorable product
mix from strong Prestige Fragrance results drove a one percent increase
in net sales and favorable foreign exchange contributed an additional
three percent. Beauty organic sales were up five percent, including a
negative one percent impact from the sales disruption in Asia resulting
from the temporary suspension of SK-II shipments in China earlier in
the fiscal year. Net earnings increased 12 percent to $3.5 billion
behind sales growth and profit margin improvement. Profit margin
improved as the impact of higher marketing investments was more than
offset by lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales.
-- Health Care net sales in fiscal 2007 increased 14 percent to $9.0
billion behind a nine percent increase in unit volume. Sales and
volume were up as a result of solid growth on the base P&G business and
the impact of an additional three months of Gillette Oral Care results
in fiscal 2007. Health Care organic sales increased six percent with
organic volume up four percent. Oral Care organic volume grew mid-
single digits driven by double-digit growth in developing regions,
high-single digit growth on Oral-B and a nearly two point increase in
Crest toothpaste U.S. all-outlet market share behind the Crest Pro-
Health launch. Pharmaceuticals and Personal Health volume increased
low-single digits behind growth on Prilosec OTC. Pricing, primarily in
Pharmaceuticals and Personal Health, contributed two percent to segment
sales growth and a more premium product mix behind Crest Pro-Health
added an additional one percent. Foreign exchange had a positive two
percent impact on net sales. Net earnings grew 25 percent to $1.5
billion behind organic sales growth, the addition of Gillette Oral Care
and profit margin expansion. Profit margin improved behind lower SG&A
expenses from volume scale leverage, Gillette synergies and lower
overhead spending as a percentage of net sales.
Household Care
-- Fabric Care and Home Care net sales increased 11 percent in fiscal 2007
to $19.0 billion behind eight percent volume growth. Volume growth was
broad-based across regions with mid-single digit increases in developed
regions and double-digit growth in developing regions. Both Fabric
Care and Home Care had strong volume growth behind product initiatives
such as Tide Simple Pleasures, Gain Joyful Expressions, Febreze
Noticeables, upgrades on Swiffer and the launch of Fairy auto-
dishwashing in Western Europe. Favorable foreign exchange had a
positive three percent impact on net sales. Net earnings increased 18
percent to $2.8 billion behind strong sales growth and profit margin
improvement. Profit margin improved primarily behind cost savings
projects and lower overhead spending as a percentage of net sales,
partially offset by higher commodity costs.
-- Baby Care and Family Care net sales increased six percent for the year
to $12.7 billion behind five percent volume growth. Baby Care volume
grew mid-single digits, with developing regions up double-digits. In
developed regions, Baby Care volume was up low-single digits as growth
on Pampers Baby Stages of Development and Baby Dry Caterpillar Flex
more than offset softness on Pampers in Western Europe and Luvs in
North America from lower competitor pricing of both branded and private
label products. Family care organic volume was up mid-single digits
behind product upgrades on Bounty and continued growth on the Bounty
and Charmin Basic products. Disproportionate growth in developing
regions and on the Basic products led to a negative one percent mix
impact. Favorable foreign exchange contributed two percent to sales
growth. Net earnings in Baby Care and Family Care increased 11 percent
to $1.4 billion behind sales growth and higher profit margin.
-- Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care net sales increased four percent to $4.5
billion in fiscal 2007. Volume was in-line with the prior year as
growth in Coffee was offset by a decline in Pet Care. Snacks volume
was in-line with the prior year. Coffee volume was up high-single
digits primarily due to a low base period that included a reduction in
the Coffee business from Hurricane Katrina and current year volume from
the launches of Folgers Simply Smooth and Gourmet Selections. Pet Care
volume was down versus the year-ago period due to strong competitive
activity and the impacts of a voluntary recall of certain wet pet foods
in March 2007. Price increases in Coffee and favorable product mix
from disproportionate Coffee growth each had a positive one percent
impact on sales. Favorable foreign exchange contributed an additional
two percent to sales. Net earnings increased 24 percent to $477
million. Earnings were up behind sales growth and base period costs
related to Hurricane Katrina, which more than offset the impacts of
higher commodity costs and expenses associated with the pet food recall
in the current period.
Gillette GBU
Since Gillette was acquired on October 1, 2005, results for fiscal 2006 include only 9 months of results while fiscal 2007 results include 12 months of results. In order to provide a more meaningful year-on-year comparison, the following discussion compares the company's fiscal 2007 results versus pro forma fiscal year 2006 Gillette GBU results that are comprised of the company's reported October - June 2006 results combined with pro forma July - September 2005 results as presented in the company's Form 8-K released on November 22, 2005. -- Net sales in Blades and Razors increased 12 percent for the year to
$5.2 billion versus 2006 full-year pro forma results. Net sales
increased behind the expansion of the premium Fusion razor system and
continued success of Mach 3. Overall, volume/mix contributed seven
percent to sales growth and price increases taken across most shaving
systems added one percent. Favorable foreign exchange had a four
percent impact on net sales. Earnings before income taxes increased
14% to $1.7 billion versus the comparable 2006 pro forma results.
Earnings growth was driven by strong sales growth, partially offset by
higher marketing investment behind Fusion and incremental acquisition-
related charges in fiscal 2007. Net earnings were $1.2 billion in
fiscal 2007.
-- Net sales in Duracell and Braun increased five percent for the year to
$4.0 billion versus 2006 full-year pro forma results. In Duracell,
sales increased high-single digits globally, led by double-digit growth
in developing regions. In developed regions, Duracell organic sales
were up low-single digits as the impact of higher pricing was partially
offset by strong competitive activity from both private label and
branded competitors. In Braun, sales increased three percent as the
launch of 360 Complete and Contour razors in North America and Pulsonic
razors in Germany and Japan more than offset the impact of the
divestiture of thermometer and blood pressure devices and softness in
Europe on household appliances. Overall, volume/mix in the Duracell
and Braun segment contributed one percent to sales growth while price
increases, primarily in Duracell, added one percent. Favorable foreign
exchange had a three percent impact on sales. Earnings before income
taxes increased six percent to $588 million versus 2006 full-year pro
forma results. Earnings were up behind sales growth and lower year-on-
year acquisition-related expenses, partially offset by higher overhead
expenses resulting from the inclusion of Gillette into P&G's cost
allocation systems. Net earnings were $394 million in fiscal 2007.
Fiscal Year 2008 and July - September Quarter Guidance
For fiscal year 2008, the company expects organic sales to grow four to six percent, in-line with its long-term target range. The combination of pricing and product mix is expected to have a neutral to positive one percent impact on sales growth, and foreign exchange is expected to add approximately one to two percent. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures is estimated to have a neutral to negative one percent impact on sales growth. Total sales are expected to increase five to seven percent. P&G said it expects earnings per share of $3.44 to $3.47 for the fiscal year, an increase of 13% to 14% versus the prior year. Operating margins are expected to increase by 70 to 100 basis points, and the company estimates its effective tax rate will be at or slightly above 29% for the fiscal year. For the July - September quarter, the company expects organic sales to grow 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, and foreign exchange is expected to add two to three percent. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures is estimated to have a neutral to negative one percent impact on sales growth. Total sales are expected to increase six to eight percent. P&G expects earnings per share of $0.88 to $0.90 for the quarter. Operating margins should improve modestly as improvement in SG&A costs as a percentage of sales will largely be offset by lower gross margins. Gross margins are expected to be temporarily lower due to commodity cost increases and investments needed to convert the North American liquid laundry detergent business to a compacted formula. The first of three expansion waves for the new detergents is planned for September 2007. As previously announced, the company integrated the Gillette GBU into existing P&G business units on July 1. As a result, the company will change its segment reporting structure beginning with its July - September 2007 results. Under the new structure, the Gillette GBU will be eliminated. Duracell results will be managed and reported within the Fabric and Home Care segment. Braun will be merged with Blades and Razors to create a new "Grooming" reportable segment. Additionally, the company will move Feminine Care from the Beauty segment to the Health Care segment and Shave Preps from the Beauty segment to the new Grooming segment. A summary of the new reporting segments, as well as the new Global Business Unit names and compositions, are summarized in the following table: Global Business Units Reporting Segments
Beauty * Beauty
* Grooming
Health and Well Being * Health Care
* Snacks, Coffee and Pet Care
Household Care * Fabric Care and Home Care

The company will issue a Form 8-K before the next earnings release in order to provide historical quarterly results for the new segments.

The Procter & Gamble Company 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 2007 quarter: Total P&G Total Sales Growth 8% Less: Foreign Exchange Impact -3% Less: Acquisition/Divestiture Impact 0% Organic Sales Growth 5% The reconciliation of reported sales growth to organic sales in the 2007 fiscal year: Total P&G Beauty Health Care Total Sales Growth 12% 9% 14% Less: Foreign Exchange Impact -2% -3% -2% Less: Acquisition/Divestiture Impact -5% -1% -6% Organic Sales Growth 5% 5% 6% 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.
