Today, Procter & Gamble released their Q3 earnings report, reflecting a significant drop in sales due to “a challenging and volatile consumer and geopolitical environment.”
The company reported a 2% decline in sales, with revenue falling to $19.78 billion.
Due to the market downturn, the company significantly reduced its full-year forecast for core earnings per share and revenue.
Jon Moeller, P&G’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer told investors: “We’re making appropriate adjustments to our near-term outlook to reflect underlying market conditions while remaining confident in the longer-term growth prospects for our brands and the markets where we compete. We remain committed to our integrated growth strategy of a focused product portfolio of daily use categories where performance drives brand choice, superiority — across product performance, packaging, brand communication, retail execution and consumer and customer value — productivity, constructive disruption and an agile and accountable organization.”
Moving forward, Moeller stated, “We’re maintaining investments in superior innovation across price tiers to improve value for consumers and drive category growth.”
