| Statement |
|---|
| Native's price point is a significant premium to the category average trading consumers up to Native drive significant category growth for our retail partners |
| Despite this volatility we remain confident that the best path forward is to double down on the strategy that has enabled the strong results to date |
| At the same time, a focus on cost discipline, productivity and prudent capital allocation has yielded both balanced, top and bottom line growth, as well as strong free cash flow generation |
| And we're better positioned to serve them and win when we have the representation that we want |
| Fiscal 2023 was the fifth consecutive year with 5% or better organic sales growth for us, a strong start to fiscal 2024 with first half organic sales up more than 5% |
| The combination of new technologies is allowing significant innovation opportunities, which both speed, the rate of innovation also free up our larger parts of our innovation team further up the innovation pipeline to really work on those big ideas that Andre was talking about that drive markets |
| Quarter two marked the 22nd consecutive quarter of 4% or better organic sales growth |
| As expected, last quarter we saw volume acceleration in North America and Europe Focus Markets as price/mix decelerated, continuing the transition back to a normalized top line growth with more consistent algorithm -- with more consistency with our long-term algorithm |
| Andre mentioned, our volume share progress as well which is encouraging |
| We have good momentum across the portfolio with nine out of 10 categories growing organic sales in the first half of fiscal 2024 and good growth across the geographic portfolio |
| We're also seeing good volume growth in Europe |
| The good news there is, we're beginning to see strong volume progress |
| We remain as confident as ever in this strategy and our ability to drive market growth and to deliver balanced growth and value creation to delight consumers, customers, employees, society and shareowners |
| [Audio Gap] superior value equation for all employees, inclusive of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, ages and abilities for all roles to ensure we continue to attract, retain and develop the best talent and are best positioned to serve all consumers |
| US volume share was up 50 basis points reflecting strong volume growth |
| Importantly we're driving category value growth ahead of our fair share |
| Each of these examples has obvious cost benefits, but they're also driving product and package superiority, superior brand communication to consumers, superior retail execution in-stores and online, stronger internal controls and jobs that enable people to focus on higher order tasks with greater business impacts |
| On the bottom line, consistent earnings growth despite the highest inflationary period in 40 years over the past two years |
| This momentum continues with fiscal year-to-date core earnings per share, up 16%, up 19% on a currency-neutral basis; adjusted free cash flow productivity of 96%, very strong organic sales growth with solid margin expansion, core EPS growth and strong cash conversion, strong balanced top line and bottom line growth combined with cash |
| Another example, Head & Shoulders BARE delivers superior anti-dandruff performance with the bare minimum of ingredients, nine to be exact in an eco bottle with 45% less plastic versus our regular bottle |
| [Video Presentation] Superior innovation leading [Audio Gap] grew organic sales high single digits in fiscal year 2023 and was up double digits in the first half of fiscal 2024 |
| The strong combination of productivity and pricing has enabled us to increase our investment in innovation and demand creation to grow markets and our brands, while restoring gross margin and operating margin to pre-COVID levels and potentially higher this fiscal year |
| Also extending packaging superiority with a more attractive and more sustainable cardboard box |
| A good example is the four-chamber Ariel Platinum PODS innovation that we launched in a new cardboard package, extending our superiority advantage and product performance, while improving sustainability by enabling great wash results even in cold water already contributing to a two-degree Celsius reduction in wash temperatures in Europe against the five-degree target |
| We expect these benefits to continue to fuel gross margin expansion which in turn fuels investment in superior innovation, retail execution and communication to drive market growth |
| Next environmental sustainability; superior propositions for consumers, customers and shareowners that are sustainable; driving sales and profitability, while reducing the footprint of our operations; enabling consumers to reduce their footprint; and innovating to deliver cross-industry solutions for some of our most pressing challenges |
| Our superior retail execution of strong retail partnerships enabled us to bring Native into national in-store distribution and step change value and market growth in the deodorants category from low single digits to mid-teens |
| Over these five years we have been getting increasingly more effective and efficient in our consumer targeting, ad placement and copy quality, reinvesting savings and driving higher return on investment along the way |
| These programs improve superiority with consumers and further strengthen what is already the top-ranked supply chain by our retail partners and third-party industry surveys |
| All of this is driving higher quality, increased supply assurance and higher on-shelf availability of products, and of course, better cash and cost structures |
| Statement |

| This includes continued market pressure in Greater China and softening underlying market trends in some European enterprise and Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa countries, such as, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, following multiple rounds of pricing to offset inflation and due to heightened tension in the Middle East |
| We expect the environment around us to continue to be volatile and challenging from an input cost standpoint to currencies to consumer retailer and geopolitical dynamics |
| I finally got frustrated and stood up and said, the truth is I don't care about your market share |
| During fiscal years 2022 and 2023, we faced historically high inflation pressure, a total gross margin headwind of 820 basis points from commodities, freight and foreign exchange rates |
| It's come up a little bit, but it's still meaningfully below what it was |
| For P&G, we expect the pricing contribution to top line growth to reduce by an additional one to two points in the back half of the year |
| We're disrupting traditional lab-based innovation models to dramatically increase the speed and breadth of discovery |
| Sounds simple, but has been one of our thorniest most difficult jobs |
| Yet on the other hand, despite all the Tide laundry completion and Pamper -- diaper changes we've never seen a female CEO |
| I'd be very surprised if you wouldn't |
| So, on your website, it says, for more than 185 years, we've challenged the norm and inspired the future |
| Volumes will have to be a stronger component of that, if we expect to realize that on a sustainable basis |
