      Delivers strong margin expansion and adjusted EPS growth for FY25 despite challenging environment in the second half of the fiscal year

      OAKLAND, Calif., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025, which ended June 30, 2025.

      Fourth-Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Summary

      The following is a summary of key fourth-quarter results, which reflect the temporary benefit from incremental shipments related to building retailer inventory in advance of the enterprise resource planning transition in the U.S. (incremental ERP shipments) and the impact from the prior divestiture of the Better Health Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS) business. All comparisons are with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 unless otherwise stated.

      • Net sales increased 4% to $2.0 billion, primarily driven by the impacts of the incremental ERP shipments, partially offset by the divestiture of the VMS business and unfavorable price mix. Organic sales1 increased 8%. Incremental ERP shipments contributed about 13 to 14 points of benefit to net sales.
      • Gross margin was 46.5%, essentially flat versus the year-ago quarter, primarily due to higher volume and cost savings, offset by both higher manufacturing and logistics costs and trade promotion spending. Incremental ERP shipments contributed about 150 basis points of benefit to gross margin.
      • Diluted net earnings per share (diluted EPS) increased 55% to $2.68 from $1.73 in the year-ago quarter. The increase includes lapping the implementation of the company's streamlined operating model partially offset by insurance recoveries, net of incremental costs, related to the August 2023 cyberattack in the prior period.
      • Adjusted EPS1 increased 58% to $2.87 from $1.82 in the year-ago quarter, due in part to higher volume. The benefit from incremental ERP shipments is estimated to be about 85 to 95 cents.

      "While we delivered strong margin expansion and adjusted EPS growth for the year, we did not meet our topline expectations in the back half. We continued to see rapidly shifting consumer behaviors and broader market volatility which we expect to continue," said Chair and CEO Linda Rendle. "At the same time, we advanced our long-term strategy and began the implementation of our new ERP system in the U.S. This digital transformation supports our long-term financial goals through modernized capabilities, which will accelerate growth and deliver stronger efficiencies. As we look to fiscal year 2026, we remain focused on operational excellence and driving category and market share improvements. With more work to do, we are confident in the strength of our strategy, the resilience of our portfolio of trusted brands, and our ability to deliver value for consumers, customers and shareholders over the long term." 

      This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information" at the end of this press release for more details.  






      1 Organic sales growth/(decrease) and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures. See Non-GAAP Financial Information at the end of this press release for reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

      Strategic and Operational Highlights

      The following are recent highlights of business achievements:

      • Delivered another quarter of strong cost savings as part of the company's effort to expand margin while growing overall market shares and organic sales for the fiscal year.
      • Executed strong preparation, which included building retailer inventory, ahead of its ERP launch in the U.S. at the beginning of fiscal year 2026 as part of its ongoing work to accelerate digital transformation through modernized technologies and processes.
      • Continued to invest behind value superiority with innovations across major brands in fiscal year 2025, such as the relaunch of Poett's fragrance platform, enhanced durability in Glad ForceFlex MaxStrength trash bags, Fresh Step Heavy Duty and Health Monitoring Clumping Litter, Clorox Scentiva Bleach, the expansion of the Burt's Bees portfolio with Boosted Tinted Balm and Rescue Lip Relief, seven new Hidden Valley Ranch flavors as well as product partnerships with Hot Pockets, Taco Bell, Burger King, and DiGiorno.
      • Named a Best Company to Work For by U.S. News & World Report, one of America's Greatest Workplaces by Newsweek and one of Forbes' Net-Zero Leaders.

      Key Segment Results

      The following is a summary of key fourth-quarter results by reportable segment. All comparisons are with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, unless otherwise stated.

      Net sales increased 4%, driven by 8 points of higher volume, partially offset by 4 points of unfavorable price mix. Higher volume was mainly driven by the incremental ERP shipments. Unfavorable price mix was driven mainly by unfavorable product mix and higher trade promotion, which was mainly driven by unfavorable trade expense timing.

      Health and Wellness (Cleaning; Professional Products)             

      • Net sales increased 14%, driven by 18 points of higher volume, partially offset by 4 points of unfavorable price mix. Higher volume was mainly driven by the incremental ERP shipments. Unfavorable price mix was driven by higher trade promotion spending and strong shipments to the Club channel.
      • Segment adjusted EBIT2 increased 20%, primarily driven by higher net sales and lower advertising, partially offset by both higher selling and administrative costs and manufacturing and logistics costs.

      Household (Bags and Wraps; Cat Litter; Grilling)

      • Net sales increased 7%, driven by 13 points of higher volume, partially offset by 6 points of unfavorable price mix. Higher volume was mainly driven by the incremental ERP shipments, partially offset by lower consumption and increased competition. Unfavorable price mix was driven by unfavorable product mix, mainly due to Club merchandising in Litter.
      • Segment adjusted EBIT increased 59%, primarily driven by higher volume.

      Lifestyle (Food; Water Filtration; Natural Personal Care)

      • Net sales increased 3%, driven by 8 points of higher volume, partially offset by 5 points of unfavorable price mix. Higher volume was mainly driven by the incremental ERP shipments, partially offset by lower consumption. Unfavorable price mix was driven by higher trade promotion spending and unfavorable product mix.
      • Segment adjusted EBIT increased 54%, primarily driven by lower advertising.





      2 Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Information at the end of this press release for reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

      International (Sales Outside the U.S.)

      • Net sales decreased 1%, mainly driven by 4 points of unfavorable price mix and 2 points of unfavorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by 5 points of higher volume. Organic sales increased 1%. Higher volume was mainly driven by the incremental ERP shipments. Unfavorable price mix was driven by product mix and higher trade promotion spending.
      • Segment adjusted EBIT increased 28%, primarily due to higher volume, both lower selling and administrative and advertising expenses, partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher trade promotion spending.

      Fiscal Year 2025 Summary

      The following is a summary of key fiscal year 2025 results, which reflect the incremental ERP shipments and the prior divestitures of the VMS and Argentina businesses. All comparisons are to fiscal year 2024.

      • Net sales were essentially flat, primarily driven by 1 point of higher volume offset by 1 point of unfavorable price mix. Organic sales increased 5%. Incremental ERP shipments contributed about 3.5 to 4 points of benefit to net sales, which is expected to reverse in fiscal year 2026.
      • Gross margin increased 220 basis points to 45.2% from 43.0% in the year-ago period. The increase was primarily driven by cost savings, higher volume and the benefits of the divestitures of the Better Health VMS and Argentina businesses, partially offset by higher trade promotion spending, unfavorable mix and higher manufacturing and logistics costs. The benefit from ERP incremental shipments is estimated to be about 50 basis points, which is expected to reverse in fiscal year 2026.
      • Diluted EPS increased 190% to $6.52 from $2.25 in the year-ago period. This increase includes lapping the divestiture of the Argentina business, the pension settlement charge, implementation of the streamlined operating model in the prior period, and the current-period benefit of cyberattack insurance recoveries, partially offset by the loss on the sale of the VMS business. The benefit from ERP incremental shipments is estimated to be about 85 to 95 cents, which is expected to reverse in fiscal year 2026.
      • Adjusted EPS increased 25% to $7.72 from $6.17, driven mainly by higher volume and cost savings initiatives. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher trade promotion spending. The benefit from ERP incremental shipments is estimated to be about 85 to 95 cents, reflecting year-over-year growth of 14% to 15%, which is expected to reverse in fiscal year 2026.
      • Net cash provided by operations was $981 million compared to $695 million in fiscal year 2024, representing a 41% increase.

      ERP Transition Impact

      During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, retailers placed orders in advance of the company's ERP system transition in the U.S. to minimize any potential inventory impacts during the implementation phase. The shipments of incremental inventory provided a benefit to fourth quarter 2025 net sales. These shipments added about 3.5 to 4 points of sales and about 85 to 95 cents earnings per share to fiscal year 2025. The company expects retailers to draw down on this inventory during the company's ERP transition period, resulting in lower shipments. From a year-over-year sales growth perspective, the reduction in sales from this inventory draw down translates to about 7 to 8 points of decline as compared to the higher base in fiscal year 2025. Similarly, this inventory draw down is expected to reduce fiscal year 2026 earnings per share by about 85 to 95 cents. In comparison to the higher base in fiscal year 2025, this results in a year-over-year reduction of about 29% to 32% to fiscal year 2026 diluted earnings per share and about 22% to 25% to fiscal year 2026 adjusted earnings per share.

      Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook 

      The most significant assumption of the fiscal year 2026 outlook is the transitory impact related to the ERP transition in the U.S.

      • Net sales are expected to be down 6% to 10% compared to the prior year. The company expects less than a point of negative impact from the divestiture of its VMS business and foreign exchange rate changes. Organic sales are expected to decrease 5% to 9%, including a negative impact of about 7 to 8 points related to the reversal of the impact from incremental shipments associated with the ERP transition in the prior fiscal year.
      • Gross margin is expected to be down 50 to 100 basis points. The reversal of the impact from incremental shipments associated with ERP transition in the prior fiscal year is expected to result in about a 100 basis points of headwinds.
      • Selling and administrative expenses are expected to be about 16% of net sales, which includes about 90 basis points of impact from the company's strategic investments in digital capabilities and productivity enhancements.
      • Advertising and sales promotion spending is expected to be about 11% of net sales, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to invest behind its brands.
      • The company's effective tax rate is expected to be about 24%.
      • Diluted EPS is expected to be between $5.60 and $5.95, a year-over-year decrease of 14% to 9%, respectively. This includes the negative impact of about 85 to 95 cents related to the reversal of the impact from incremental shipments associated with the ERP transition in the prior fiscal year.
      • Adjusted EPS is expected to be between $5.95 and $6.30, or a decrease between 23% and 18%, respectively. Adjusted EPS excludes the long-term strategic investment in digital capabilities and productivity enhancements, estimated to be about 35 cents. This includes the negative impact of about 85 to 95 cents related to the reversal of the impact from incremental shipments associated with the ERP transition in the prior fiscal year.

      Non-GAAP Financial Information

      • This press release contains non-GAAP financial information related to organic sales growth / (decrease), adjusted EPS, adjusted ETR and segment adjusted EBIT for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 and for fiscal year 2025; as well as organic sales growth / (decrease) and adjusted EPS outlook for fiscal year 2026. The reasons management believes these measures are useful to investors are described below. Certain non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in determining incentive compensation.
      • Clorox defines organic sales growth / (decrease) as GAAP net sales growth / (decrease) excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate changes and any acquisitions or divestitures.
      • Organic sales growth / (decrease) outlook for fiscal year 2026 excludes less than a point of negative impact from divestiture of its VMS business and foreign exchange rate changes.
      • Management believes that the presentation of organic sales growth / (decrease) is useful to investors because it excludes sales from any acquisitions and divestitures, which results in a comparison of sales only from the businesses that the company was operating and expects to continue to operate throughout the relevant periods, and the company's estimate of the impact of foreign exchange rate changes, which are difficult to predict and out of the control of the company and management. However, organic sales growth / (decrease) may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation or differences in which items are incorporated into these adjustments.
      • Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for significant items that are nonrecurring or unusual. The income tax effect on non-GAAP items is calculated based upon the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment.
      • Adjusted ETR is defined as the effective tax rate that excludes or that has otherwise been adjusted for significant items that are nonrecurring or unusual.
      • Adjusted EPS and adjusted ETR are supplemental information that management uses to help evaluate the company's historical and prospective financial performance on a consistent basis over time. Management believes that by adjusting for certain items affecting comparability of performance over time, such as the pension settlement charge, incremental costs and insurance recoveries related to the August 2023 cyberattack, asset impairments, charges related to the streamlined operating model, charges related to the digital capabilities and productivity enhancements investment, significant losses/(gains) related to acquisitions / divestitures and other nonrecurring or unusual items, investors and management are able to gain additional insight into the company's underlying operating performance on a consistent basis over time. However, adjusted EPS and adjusted ETR may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation or differences in which items are incorporated into these adjustments.
      • Adjusted EBIT represents earnings (losses) before income taxes excluding interest income, interest expense and other significant items that are nonrecurring or unusual (such as the pension settlement charge, incremental costs and insurance recoveries related to the August 2023 cyberattack, asset impairments, charges related to the streamlined operating model, charges related to the digital capabilities and productivity enhancements investment, significant losses/(gains) related to acquisitions / divestitures and other nonrecurring or unusual items impacting comparability during the period). The company uses this measure to assess the operating results and performance of its segments, perform analytical comparisons, identify strategies to improve performance, and allocate resources to each segment. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted EBIT excluding these items is useful to investors to assess operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of the items that management believes do not directly reflect the performance of each segment's underlying operations. However, adjusted EBIT may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation or differences in which items are incorporated into these adjustments.
      • The reconciliation tables below refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for the following items:

      Divestiture of Better Health Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements Business

      As previously disclosed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the company completed the divestiture of its Better Health VMS business in its entirety. The divested business included the Natural Vitality, NeoCell, Rainbow Light and RenewLife brands, relevant trademarks and licenses, and associated manufacturing and distribution facilities in Sunrise, Florida. The transaction is in support of the company's IGNITE strategy and reflects the commitment to continue evolving its portfolio to reduce volatility and accelerate sales growth, as well as structurally improve its margin, in service of driving more consistent and profitable growth over time.

      Due to the nature, scope and magnitude of this charge, the company's management believes presenting this charge as an adjustment in the non-GAAP results provides additional information to investors about trends in the company's operations and is useful for period over period comparisons. It also allows investors to view underlying operating results in the same manner as they are viewed by company management.

      Cyberattack costs

      As previously disclosed, incremental costs were incurred by the company as the result of the August 2023 cyberattack. These costs related primarily to third-party consulting services, including IT recovery and forensic experts and other professional services incurred to investigate and remediate the attack, as well as incremental operating costs from the resulting disruption to the company's business operations. The company has since received insurance recoveries of $100 million related to the cyberattack. No additional insurance recoveries related to the cyberattack are anticipated. Costs associated with ongoing cybersecurity monitoring and prevention as well as enhancement to the company's cybersecurity program are not included within this adjustment.

      Due to the nature, scope and magnitude of these costs and recoveries, the company's management believes presenting these costs as an adjustment in the non-GAAP results provides additional information to investors about trends in the company's operations and is useful for period over period comparisons. It also allows investors to view underlying operating results in the same manner as they are viewed by company management.

      Digital Capabilities and Productivity Enhancements Investment

      As announced in August 2021, the company plans to invest in transformative technologies and processes over a five-year period. This investment began in fiscal year 2022, and includes replacement of the company's enterprise resource planning system and transitioning to a cloud-based platform as well as the implementation of a suite of other digital technologies. The total incremental transformational investment is expected to be $570 to $580 million. It is expected that these implementations will generate efficiencies and transform the company's operations in the areas of supply chain, digital commerce, innovation, brand building and more over the long term.

      Of the total investment, approximately 75% is expected to represent incremental operating costs primarily recorded within selling and administrative expenses to be adjusted from reported EPS for purposes of disclosing adjusted EPS through fiscal year 2026, compared to the previous estimate of 70%. About 70% of these operating costs are expected to be related to the implementation of the ERP, with the remaining costs primarily related to the implementation of complementary technologies.

      Due to the nature, scope and magnitude of this investment, these costs are considered by management to represent incremental transformational costs above the historical normal level of spending for information technology to support operations. Since these strategic investments, including incremental operating costs, will cease at the end of the investment period, are not expected to recur in the foreseeable future and are not considered representative of the company's underlying operating performance, the company's management believes presenting these costs as an adjustment in the non-GAAP results provides additional information to investors about trends in the company's operations and is useful for period-over-period comparisons. It also allows investors to view underlying operating results in the same manner as they are viewed by company management.

      Comprised of third-party consulting fees incurred to assist in the project management and the preliminary project stage of this transformative investment.
