DALLAS, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE: KMB) today reported second quarter 2022 results.

Executive Summary

  • Second quarter 2022 net sales of $5.1 billion increased 7 percent compared to the year-ago period, including organic sales growth of 9 percent.
  • Diluted net income per share for the second quarter was $1.29 in 2022 and $1.19 in 2021.
  • Second quarter adjusted earnings per share were $1.34 in 2022, down 9 percent compared to $1.47 in 2021. Adjusted earnings per share exclude certain items described later in this news release.
  • Diluted net income per share for 2022 is expected to be $5.67 to $6.10.
  • The company is now targeting full-year 2022 organic sales growth of 5 to 7 percent compared to prior outlook of 4 to 6 percent and maintains adjusted earnings per share range of $5.60 to $6.00.

"I'm pleased to close the first half of the year with another quarter of excellent execution by our teams who delivered strong organic sales growth, with increases in all our segments. Our growth strategy is working," said Mike Hsu, Chairman and CEO, Kimberly-Clark. "Our results also reflect ongoing market volatility and significant input cost inflation. We continue to be thoughtful with our response to inflation, focusing on providing value to our consumers while leveraging price and cost discipline to mitigate macro headwinds for margin improvement over time."

Hsu continued, "As we manage our business prudently in the near-term, we're committed to investing in our people, brands and capabilities to ensure we continue to be well positioned to deliver balanced and sustainable growth over the long-term."

Second Quarter 2022 Operating Results

Sales of $5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022 increased 7 percent compared to the year-ago period. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced sales 2 percent. Organic sales increased 9 percent as net selling prices rose 9 percent, product mix increased sales 1 percent and volumes declined 1 percent. In North America, organic sales increased 11 percent in consumer products and increased 8 percent in K-C Professional. Outside North America, organic sales rose 8 percent in developing and emerging (D&E) markets and 9 percent in developed markets.

Second quarter operating profit was $621 million in 2022 and $613 million in 2021. Excluding the charges related to the 2018 Global Restructuring Program, 2021 adjusted operating profit was $676 million.

Results were impacted by $405 million of higher input costs. Higher marketing, research and general expense as well as unfavorable foreign currency transaction effects reduced operating profit in the quarter. Results benefited from organic sales growth and $45 million of cost savings from the company's FORCE (Focused On Reducing Costs Everywhere) program. 

The second quarter effective tax rate was 21.8 percent in 2022 and 22.8 percent in 2021. The second quarter adjusted effective tax rate was 22.0 percent in 2022 and 22.5 percent in 2021. Kimberly-Clark's share of net income of equity companies in the second quarter was $29 million in 2022 and $28 million in 2021.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash provided by operations in the second quarter was $740 million in 2022 and $565 million in 2021. The increase was driven by lower tax payments and reduced use of cash for working capital. Capital spending for the second quarter was $217 million in 2022 and $201 million in 2021. Second quarter share repurchases were 173 thousand shares at a cost of $23 million. Total debt was $8.7 billion as of June 30, 2022 and $8.6 billion at the end of 2021.

Second quarter sales of $2.7 billion increased 8 percent. Net selling prices increased 9 percent, product mix improved 1 percent while volumes declined 1 percent. The acquisition of the controlling interest in Thinx increased sales 1 point and changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased sales by 2 percent. Second quarter operating profit of $466 million increased 3 percent. Results benefited from organic sales growth and cost savings. The comparison was impacted by input cost inflation, higher marketing, research and general spending as well as unfavorable foreign currency effects.

Year-to-date adjusted operating profit was $1,250 million in 2022 and $1,480 million in 2021. Results were impacted by higher input costs, higher marketing, research and general spending and unfavorable foreign currency effects. Results benefited from organic sales growth, $95 million of FORCE savings and lower other manufacturing costs.

Through six months, diluted net income per share was $2.84 in 2022 and $2.92 in 2021. Year-to-date adjusted earnings per share were $2.69 in 2022 and $3.27 in 2021.

2022 Outlook and Key Planning Assumptions

The company updated key planning and guidance assumptions for full-year 2022. The outlook reflects a reasonable set of assumptions subject to change given the high level of volatility in the macro environment. 

  • Net sales increase 2 to 4 percent (no change).
    • Organic sales increase 5 to 7 percent (prior target 4 to 6 percent).
    • Foreign currency exchange rates unfavorable approximately 3 percent (prior estimate approximately 2 percent).
  • Adjusted operating profit down mid-single digit percent (prior estimate down low to mid-single digit).
    • Key cost inputs expected to increase $1.4 to $1.6 billion (previous estimate $1.1 to $1.3 billion). Costs are projected to increase or remain elevated for most inputs, including pulp and other raw materials as well as distribution and energy.
  • Adjusted earnings per share remains $5.60 to $6.00. Given the current cost outlook, expect to be at the lower end of the range.

Prepared Management Remarks and Live Question and Answer Webcast

At approximately 7:00 a.m. (CDT) on July 26, 2022, the company will post management remarks (in PDF format) regarding its second quarter 2022 results at www.kimberly-clark.com. At 9:00 a.m. (CDT) on July 26, 2022, the company will host a live question and answer session with investors and analysts. Stockholders and others are invited to listen to the live broadcast or a playback, which will be accessible on the company's website at www.kimberly-clark.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release and the accompanying tables include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Adjusted earnings and earnings per share
  • Adjusted gross and operating profit
  • Adjusted effective tax rate

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

  • Pension settlements. In the second quarter of 2022, the company recognized pension settlement charges related to lump-sum distributions from pension plan assets exceeding the total of annual service and interest costs resulting in a recognition of deferred actuarial losses.
  • Acquisition of controlling interest in Thinx. In the first quarter of 2022, the company completed the acquisition of a majority and controlling share of Thinx. As a result of this transaction, a net benefit was recognized primarily due to the nonrecurring, non-cash gain recognized related to the remeasurement of the carrying value of previously held equity investment to fair value partially offset by transaction and integration costs.
  • 2018 Global Restructuring Program. In 2018, the company initiated a restructuring program to reduce our structural cost base by streamlining and simplifying our manufacturing supply chain and overhead organization. Restructuring charges were incurred in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. The restructuring actions were completed by the end of 2021.

The company provides these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our GAAP financial measures. Management and the company's Board of Directors use adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted gross and operating profit to (a) evaluate the company's historical and prospective financial performance and its performance relative to its competitors, (b) allocate resources and (c) measure the operational performance of the company's business units and their managers. Management also believes that the use of an adjusted effective tax rate provides improved insight into the tax effects of our ongoing business operations.

Additionally, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the company's Board of Directors has used certain of the non-GAAP financial measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals. These goals are based, in part, on the company's adjusted earnings per share and improvement in the company's adjusted return on invested capital determined by excluding certain of the adjustments that are used in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.

This news release includes information regarding organic sales growth, which describes the impact of changes in volume, net selling prices and product mix on net sales. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and exited businesses also impact the year-over-year change in net sales.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, and they should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. The company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to the GAAP measures and by providing reconciliations of the non-GAAP and comparable GAAP financial measures.
