Summary
Procter & Gamble reported fiscal 2027 first-quarter net sales of $23.3 billion, up 4% versus the prior year, with organic sales also up 4%, diluted EPS of $1.97 (up 1%) and core EPS of $2.00 (up 1%). The company updated its fiscal 2027 all-in sales growth guidance to 2% to 4% to reflect the acquisition of Thorne as of October 1, 2026, while maintaining its organic sales growth, EPS growth and cash return guidance; CEO Shailesh Jejurikar said the quarter keeps the company on track to deliver within its guidance ranges despite expected geopolitical and economic challenges.
Key points
- First-quarter net sales were $23.3 billion, up 4%, with organic sales up 4% on a 2% volume increase and 1% favorable mix.
- Operating cash flow was $5.8 billion, net earnings were $4.8 billion, and $3.9 billion was returned to shareowners via $2.6 billion of dividends and $1.3 billion of buybacks.
- Reported gross margin fell 160 basis points, driven by higher commodity costs and product reinvestments partly offset by productivity savings.
- P&G now expects a commodity cost headwind of about $1.4 billion after tax and a fiscal 2027 core effective tax rate of 20% to 21%.
