Organic Sales +1%; Net Sales -7%; Diluted Net
EPS $0.97,+29%;

Core EPS $0.86, -3%; Currency-Neutral Core EPS
Unchanged Versus Prior Year

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) reported third quarter fiscal
year 2016 diluted net earnings per share of $0.97, an increase of 29%.
Core earnings per share were $0.86, a decrease of three percent, while
currency-neutral core earnings per share were unchanged versus the prior
year. Core operating profit margin increased 300 basis points driven
primarily by productivity savings in gross margin. Net sales were $15.8
billion, a decrease of seven percent versus the prior year including a
five percent negative impact from foreign exchange, a two percent impact
from the Venezuela deconsolidation and a one percent impact from minor
brand divestitures. Organic sales grew one percent.

Operating cash flow was $3.3 billion for the quarter. Adjusted free cash
flow productivity was 105%. The Company repurchased $1.0 billion of
common stock and returned $1.9 billion of cash to shareholders as
dividends. Additionally, the Company acquired $4.2 billion of common
stock with the closing of the Duracell transaction.

“We continue to make progress on the transformations we are undertaking
to return P&G to balanced top and bottom-line growth and maintain strong
cash generation,” said President and Chief Executive Officer David
Taylor. “We achieved a significant milestone this quarter in the
transformation of the product portfolio with the sale of the Duracell
business. We delivered another strong quarter of productivity
improvement and cost savings, and we increased investments in
innovation, advertising and selling to enhance our long-term prospects
for faster, sustainable top-line growth and value creation.”

January – March Quarter Discussion

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $15.8 billion, a
seven percent decrease, including a negative five percentage point
impact from foreign exchange and three percentage point impact from the
combination of the Venezuela deconsolidation and minor brand
divestitures. Organic sales increased one percent on organic shipment
volume that was unchanged versus the prior year. Pricing increased total
net sales by one percent. All-in volume declined two percent due to the
Venezuela deconsolidation and minor brand divestitures.

* Net sales percentage changes are approximations based on quantitative
formulas that are consistently applied.
** Other includes the sales
mix impact of acquisitions/divestitures, the Venezuela deconsolidation
and rounding impacts necessary to reconcile volume to net sales.

Sales in four of the five business segments benefited from price
increases taken with new product innovations and/or to offset the impact
of currency devaluation in markets such as Russia, Brazil and Mexico.
Volume declined in four of the five business segments due to lower
shipments in developing markets, including the impact of the Venezuela
deconsolidation and minor brand divestitures. The following business
segment discussion includes other impacts to sales growth in addition to
those mentioned above:

• Beauty segment organic sales grew one percent versus year ago as
  positive impacts from pricing more than offset lower organic volume.
  Organic sales increases in Personal Care and the super-premium SK-II
  skin care brand were partially offset by organic sales declines of the
  Olay brand. Hair Care organic sales were unchanged as growth on
  Pantene and Head & Shoulders was offset by declines on other brands.
  In the U.S. both Pantene and Head & Shoulders gained market share.
• Grooming segment organic sales decreased one percent as growth in
  international markets was more than offset by declines in the U.S. The
  benefits from higher pricing in Shave Care and Appliances were more
  than offset by unit volume declines.
• Health Care segment organic sales decreased one percent as higher
  pricing in both Oral Care and Personal Health Care was more than
  offset by lower volume primarily related to a weak cough and cold
  season.
• Fabric Care and Home Care segment organic sales increased three
  percent versus year ago driven by higher organic volume in developed
  regions and increased pricing. Home Care organic sales growth was
  driven by product innovation and Fabric Care organic sales grew behind
  innovation and increased marketing support.
• Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales were unchanged.
  Baby Care organic sales declined due to lower volume, mainly from
  competitive activity. Feminine Care organic sales increased driven by
  growth in adult incontinence and benefits from carryover pricing in
  developing markets. Family Care organic sales were unchanged.

Core earnings per share were $0.86, a decrease of three percent versus
the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange,
currency-neutral core earnings per share were unchanged for the quarter.
Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations decreased one
percent to $0.81. Diluted net earnings per share were $0.97, an increase
of 29% versus the prior year, driven by impacts from discontinued
operations, primarily from base period impairment charges related to the
Batteries business and a current year gain on the sale of the business,
which closed on February 29, 2016.

Reported gross margin increased 250 basis points. Excluding the impact
of incremental restructuring charges, core gross margin improved 270
basis points, including 70 basis points of negative foreign exchange
impacts. On a currency-neutral basis, core gross margin increased 340
basis points, driven by 230 basis points of productivity cost savings,
130 basis points from lower commodity costs and a 60 basis point benefit
from pricing, partially offset by unfavorable geographic and product mix
and by negative scale leveraging due to lower volume.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) as a percentage of
sales decreased 70 basis points on a reported basis versus the prior
year, including a 50 basis point benefit due to lower restructuring
charges. Core SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased 20 basis points,
including a 100 basis point net benefit from foreign exchange impacts,
driven by lower foreign currency re-measurement charges. On a
currency-neutral basis, core SG&A increased 80 basis points versus the
prior year driven by increased advertising, partially offset by a
benefit from overhead spending reductions due to productivity efforts.

Reported operating profit margin increased 320 basis points and core
operating profit margin was up 300 basis points versus the prior year,
including a net 30 basis points benefit from foreign exchange impacts,
driven by lower foreign currency re-measurement charges. On a
currency-neutral basis, core operating profit margin increased 270 basis
points, including 290 basis points of productivity cost savings.

Fiscal Year 2016 Guidance

P&G said it is maintaining its outlook for organic sales growth of
in-line to up low-single digits versus fiscal 2015. The Company expects
all-in sales to be down high-single digits in fiscal 2016, including a
negative six to seven percentage point impact from foreign exchange and
a two to three percentage point drag from the combined impacts of the
Venezuela deconsolidation and minor brand divestitures.

With one quarter remaining in its fiscal year, the Company said it is
tightening its outlook for Core EPS to a range of down three percent to
six percent versus last year’s Core EPS of $3.76. P&G said it continues
to expect constant-currency Core EPS growth in the mid-single digits.
The Company continues to expect foreign exchange to have about a nine
percentage point, or negative $0.35 per share, impact on Core EPS growth
for the year. All-in GAAP earnings per share are expected to be up in
the range of 46% to 51% versus the prior year.

P&G noted that fourth quarter Core EPS is expected to be significantly
lower than prior year due to a combination of increased advertising
investments, a higher tax rate, headwinds from foreign exchange and
lower non-operating income.

The Company expects to repurchase and exchange shares at a value of more
than $8 billion through a combination of direct share repurchases and
shares that were exchanged in the Duracell transaction. In addition, P&G
expects to pay dividends of more than $7 billion, for a total of over
$15 billion in dividend payments, share repurchases and share exchanges
this fiscal year.

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 MD&A and the
reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. We believe that
these measures provide useful perspective of underlying business results
and trends and provide a more comparable measure of year-on-year
results. These measures are also used to evaluate senior management and
are a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. These non-GAAP
measures are not intended to be considered by the user in place of the
related GAAP measure, but rather as supplemental information to more
fully understand our business results. When a non-GAAP measure is used
in MD&A, we have provided the comparable GAAP measure in the discussion.
These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by
other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items
or events being adjusted.

The Core earnings measures included in the following reconciliation
tables refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for
the following items:

• charges for incremental restructuring due to increased focus on
  productivity and cost savings, and
• charges for European legal matters.

We do not view these items to be part of our sustainable results.

Organic sales growth: Organic sales growth
is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of the
Venezuela deconsolidation, acquisitions, divestitures and foreign
exchange from year-over-year comparisons.
