An illustrated graphic features six blue and yellow bubbles. They each include white text that outlines data points from Procter and Gamble's second quarter earnings for the fiscal year 2024. The headline reads "Q2 FY 2024 by the Numbers."

We delivered strong results in the second quarter, enabling us to raise our core EPS growth guidance and maintain our top-line outlook for the fiscal year. We remain committed to our integrated 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. The P&G team’s execution of this strategy has enabled us to build and sustain strong momentum. We have confidence this remains the right strategy to deliver balanced growth and value creation.

— Jon Moeller,

Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer.

A blue text headline reads, "Q2 FY 2024 Organic Sales." The graphic also includes three data points in blue text, and an image of various Procter and Gamble personal and household products.

Second quarter organic sales grew 4%.

Growth across categories continued to be broad based, with eight of 10 product categories holding or growing organic sales in the quarter.

Focus markets grew 3% for the quarter, and Enterprise markets grew 7%.

As consumers continue to choose P&G brands, global aggregate value share was up 40 basis points versus the prior year, with 28 of our top 50 category/country combinations holding or growing share.

Core earnings per share were up 16% versus the prior year. On a currency neutral basis, core EPS increased 18%.

Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 95%.

We returned $3.3 billion of cash to shareowners through about $2.3 billion in dividends and $1 billion in share repurchase.

Multi-colored text highlights five areas of Procter and Gamble's company strategy, including product portfolio, superiority, productivity, constructive disruption and organization.

In summary, against what continues to be a challenging and volatile operating environment — strong overall results in the first half of the year, delivered by P&G people executing our integrated strategy:

  • A focused portfolio of products in daily use categories where performance drives brand choice. Our portfolio is performing, delivering broad-based growth across nearly all categories and most geographies for several years.
  • Irresistible superiority across the five vectors of product, package, brand communication, retail execution and value — holistically defined. We are leveraging that superiority to grow markets, and our share in them, to jointly create value with retail partners.
  • Productivity improvement in all areas of our operations to fund investments in innovation, brand building and market growth, to mitigate cost and currency challenges, and to expand margins and generate cash.
  • Constructive disruption of ourselves and our industry. A willingness to change, adapt and create new trends, technologies and capabilities that will shape the future of our industry and extend our competitive advantage.
  • An empowered, agile and accountable organization that is also increasingly diverse, enabling us to serve an increasingly diverse set of consumers.
  • Strengthening this strategy through four focus areas — supply, environmental sustainability, digital acumen and a superior employee value equation. These four focus areas are not new or separate strategies. They simply strengthen our ability to execute the strategy.
