THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of The Procter & Gamble Company and subsidiaries (the "Company," "Procter & Gamble," "P&G," "we" or "our") contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of annual results.

Beginning in fiscal year 2022, the Company began to present increases and reductions in short-term debt with maturities of more than three months separately within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The presentation for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 has been revised to align with the current period presentation. This change had no impact on total financing activities, and we have concluded the change is not material.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting". The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope", which clarified that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 apply to derivative instruments that are affected by the discounting transition due to reference rate reform. These ASUs were effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated through December 31, 2022. We have completed our evaluation of significant contracts. Most contracts reviewed will mature prior to the termination of LIBOR or will be modified to apply a new reference rate, primarily the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") where applicable. As a result, the guidance has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance". This guidance requires annual disclosures for transactions with a government authority that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution model. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the standard for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Segment Information

Under U.S. GAAP, our operating segments are aggregated into five reportable segments: 1) Beauty, 2) Grooming, 3) Health Care, 4) Fabric & Home Care and 5) Baby, Feminine & Family Care. Our five reportable segments are comprised of:

Goodwill decreased from June 30, 2021 due to currency translation, partially offset by three acquisitions (Farmacy Beauty, Ouai and TULA) in the Beauty reportable segment.

Identifiable intangible assets at March 31, 2022 were comprised of:

			Gross Carrying Amount						Accumulated Amortization
Intangible assets with determinable lives			$	9,147					$	(6,262)
Intangible assets with indefinite lives			21,028						—
Total identifiable intangible assets			$	30,175					$	(6,262)

Intangible assets with determinable lives consist of brands, patents, technology and customer relationships. The intangible assets with indefinite lives primarily consist of brands. The amortization expense of determinable-lived intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $79 and $78, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the amortization expense was $230 and $241, respectively.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment by comparing the estimated fair values of our reporting units and underlying indefinite-lived intangible assets to their respective carrying values. We typically use an income method to estimate the fair value of these assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. If the resulting fair value is less than the asset's carrying value, that difference represents an impairment. Our annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets occurs during the three months ended December 31.

The business unit valuations used to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment depend on a number of significant estimates and assumptions, including macroeconomic conditions, overall category growth rates, competitive activities, cost containment, margin expansion and Company business plans. We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates that are used in our impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including discount rates, tax rates or future cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values. To the extent changes in such factors result in a failure to achieve the level of projected cash flows initially used to estimate fair value for purposes of establishing or subsequently impairing the carrying amount of goodwill and related intangible assets, we may need to record non-cash impairment charges in the future.

Most of our goodwill reporting units are comprised of a combination of legacy and acquired businesses and as a result have fair value cushions that, at a minimum, exceed three times their underlying carrying values. Certain of our reporting units, in particular Shave Care and Appliances, are comprised entirely of acquired businesses and as a result, have historically had fair value cushions that are not as high. The Appliances reporting unit has a fair value that significantly exceeds the underlying carrying value. As previously disclosed, the carrying values of the Shave Care reporting unit and the related Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset were impaired during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Based on our impairment testing during the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Shave Care reporting unit fair value exceeded its carrying value by more than 30% and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 5%.

The most significant assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair values of the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset are the net sales and earnings growth rates (including residual growth rates), the discount rate and the royalty rate. The residual growth rates represent the expected rate at which the Shave Care reporting unit and Gillette brand are expected to grow beyond the shorter-term business planning period. The residual growth rate utilized in our fair value estimates is consistent with the reporting unit and brand operating plans and approximates expected long-term category market growth rates. The residual growth rate depends on overall market growth rates, the competitive environment, inflation, relative currency exchange rates and business activities that impact market share. As a result, the residual growth rate could be adversely impacted by a sustained deceleration in category growth, grooming habit changes, devaluation of currencies against the U.S. dollar or an increased competitive environment. The discount rate, which is consistent with a weighted average

cost of capital that is likely to be expected by a market participant, is based upon industry required rates of return, including consideration of both debt and equity components of the capital structure. Our discount rate may be impacted by adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment, volatility in the equity and debt markets or other country specific factors, such as further devaluation of currencies against the U.S. dollar. Spot rates as of the fair value measurement date are utilized in our fair value estimates for cash flows outside the U.S. The royalty rate used to determine the estimated fair value for the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset is driven by historical and estimated future profitability of the underlying Gillette business. The royalty rate may be impacted by significant adverse changes in long-term operating margins.

While management has implemented strategies to address these events, changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the business or in the macroeconomic environment in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and could result in a decline in fair value that would trigger future impairment charges of the Shave Care reporting unit's goodwill and Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset. The duration and severity of the pandemic could also result in future impairment charges for the Shave Care reporting unit goodwill and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset. While we have concluded that no triggering event has occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset is most susceptible to future impairment risk. Our assessment of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset assumes the net sales growth rates will continue to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the current fiscal year. There continues to be a high level of uncertainty relating to how the pandemic will evolve, how governments and consumers will react, progress on the distribution of vaccines and whether the pandemic will have a longer-term effect on consumer habits. Accordingly, there continues to be risk related to this key assumption. A more prolonged pandemic recovery period could impact the assumptions utilized in the determination of the estimated fair values of the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset that are significant enough to trigger an impairment. Net sales and earnings growth rates could be negatively impacted by reductions or changes in demand for our Shave Care products, which may be caused by, among other things: the Russia-Ukraine War, the temporary inability of consumers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine or other travel restrictions, or financial hardship, changes in the use and frequency of grooming products, by shifts in demand away from one or more of our higher priced products to lower priced products or by impacts of potential supply chain constraints. In addition, relative global and country/regional macroeconomic factors, including the Russia-Ukraine War, could result in additional and prolonged devaluation of other countries’ currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Finally, the discount rate utilized in our valuation model could be impacted by changes in the underlying interest rates and risk premiums included in the determination of the cost of capital. As of March 31, 2022, the carrying values of the Shave Care goodwill and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset were $12.5 billion and $14.1 billion, respectively.

We performed a sensitivity analysis for the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset as part of our annual impairment testing, utilizing reasonably possible changes in the assumptions for the shorter-term and residual growth rates, discount rate and royalty rate to demonstrate the potential impacts to estimated fair values. The table below provides, in isolation, the estimated fair value impacts related to a 25 basis-point increase in the discount rate, a 25 basis-point decrease in our shorter-term and residual revenue growth rates or a 50 basis-point decrease in our royalty rate, some of which would result in an impairment of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset.

			Approximate Percent Change in Estimated Fair Value
			+25 bps Discount Rate						-25 bps Growth Rates						-50 bps Royalty Rate
Shave Care goodwill reporting unit			(6)%						(6)%						N/A
Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset			(6)%						(6)%						(3)%

In light of the Russia-Ukraine War, we performed an additional sensitivity analysis for the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset for a range of outcomes, including reduced future cash flows and no future cash flows in Ukraine and Russia. Under these scenarios, the Shave Care reporting unit fair value continued to exceed its carrying value by approximately 30% and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value exceeded or approximated its carrying value. However, if the impact of the war were to extend beyond its current scope, there could be a triggering event for the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset that may cause us to perform an additional impairment assessment for that asset in a future period that may result in an impairment charge.

5. Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings per common share are calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble less preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per common share are calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted shares include the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based awards based on the treasury stock method and the assumed conversion of preferred stock.

Net earnings per share were calculated as follows:

CONSOLIDATED AMOUNTS			Three Months Ended March 31												Nine Months Ended March 31
			2022						2021						2022						2021
Net earnings			$	3,367					$	3,249					$	11,735					$	11,444

7. Risk Management Activities and Fair Value Measurements

As a multinational company with diverse product offerings, we are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices. There have been no significant changes in our risk management policies or activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period. The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter. There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented. Also, there was no significant activity within the Level 3 assets and liabilities during the periods presented. There were no significant assets or liabilities that were remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

Cash equivalents were $7.0 billion and $9.1 billion as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other investments had a fair value of $153 and $192 as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, including equity securities of $126 and $163 as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and are presented in Other noncurrent assets. Investments are measured at fair value and primarily classified as Level 1 and Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, and Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments. There are no material investment balances classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy or using net asset value as a practical expedient. Unrealized losses on equity securities were $(4) during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Unrealized gains on equity securities were $58 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Unrealized losses on equity securities were $(36) during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Unrealized gains on equity securities were $58 during the nine months ended March 31, 2021. These unrealized gains/(losses) are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in Other non-operating income/(expense), net.

The fair value of long-term debt was $27.8 billion and $28.8 billion as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. This includes the current portion of long-term debt instruments ($3.6 billion as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021). Certain long-term debt (debt designated as a fair value hedge) is recorded at fair value. All other long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost but is measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. We consider our debt to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments.

Disclosures about Financial Instruments

The notional amounts and fair values of financial instruments used in hedging transactions as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 are as follows:

			Notional Amount												Fair Value Asset												Fair Value (Liability)
			March 31, 2022						June 30, 2021						March 31, 2022						June 30, 2021						March 31, 2022						June 30, 2021
DERIVATIVES IN FAIR VALUE HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS
Interest rate contracts			$	5,241					$	7,415					$	15					$	146					$	(182)					$	—
DERIVATIVES IN NET INVESTMENT HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS
Foreign currency interest rate contracts			$	8,428					$	8,484					$	359					$	89					$	(10)					$	(94)
TOTAL DERIVATIVES DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS			$	13,669					$	15,899					$	374					$	235					$	(192)					$	(94)
DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
Foreign currency contracts			$	6,916					$	5,060					$	31					$	20					$	(26)					$	(22)
TOTAL DERIVATIVES AT FAIR VALUE			$	20,585					$	20,959					$	405					$	255					$	(218)					$	(116)

The fair value of the interest rate derivative asset/(liability) directly offsets the cumulative amount of the fair value hedging adjustment included in the carrying amount of the underlying debt obligation. The carrying amount of the underlying debt obligation, which includes the unamortized discount or premium and the fair value adjustment, was $5.1 billion and $7.5 billion as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. In addition to the foreign currency derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges, certain of our foreign currency denominated debt instruments are designated as net investment hedges. The carrying value of those debt instruments designated as net investment hedges, which includes the adjustment for the foreign currency transaction gain or loss on those instruments, was $12.2 billion and $12.0 billion as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in the notional balance of interest rate contracts was primarily due to the maturity of interest rate swaps that were associated with multiple bonds maturing in the period. The increase in the notional balance of foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments primarily reflects changes in the level of intercompany financing activity during the period.

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

All derivative assets are presented in Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Other noncurrent assets. All derivative liabilities are presented in Accrued and other liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are recognized in the Foreign currency translation component of Other comprehensive income (OCI). All of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Before tax gains/(losses) on our financial instruments in hedging relationships are categorized as follows:

			Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivatives
			Three Months Ended March 31												Nine Months Ended March 31
			2022						2021						2022						2021
DERIVATIVES IN NET INVESTMENT HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS (1) (2)
Foreign exchange contracts			$	104					$	393					$	530					$	(145)

(1)For the derivatives in net investment hedging relationships, the amount of gain excluded from effectiveness testing, which was recognized in earnings, was $18 and $15 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The amount of gain excluded from effectiveness testing was $50 and $45 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(2)In addition to the foreign currency derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges, certain of our foreign currency denominated debt instruments are designated as net investment hedges. The amount of gain recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) for such instruments was $237 and $509 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The amount of gain/(loss) recognized in AOCI for such instruments was $804 and $(732) for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

			Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in Earnings
			Three Months Ended March 31												Nine Months Ended March 31
			2022						2021						2022						2021
DERIVATIVES IN FAIR VALUE HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS
Interest rate contracts			$	(216)					$	(100)					$	(313)					$	(95)
DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
Foreign currency contracts			$	(2)					$	(87)					$	28					$	221

The gain/(loss) on the derivatives in fair value hedging relationships is fully offset by the mark-to-market impact of the related exposure. These are both recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in Interest expense. The gain/(loss) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments is substantially offset by the currency mark-to-market of the related exposure. These are both recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A).

•Postretirement benefits: amounts reclassified from AOCI into Other non-operating income, net and included in the computation of net periodic postretirement costs.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are subject, from time to time, to certain legal proceedings and claims arising out of our business, which cover a wide range of matters, including antitrust and trade regulation, product liability, advertising, contracts, environmental, patent and trademark matters, labor and employment matters and tax. While considerable uncertainty exists, in the opinion of management and our counsel, the ultimate resolution of the various lawsuits and claims will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require us to take action to correct the effects on the environment of prior manufacturing and waste disposal practices. Based on currently available information, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of environmental remediation will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Tax Uncertainties

The Company is present in approximately 70 countries and over 150 taxable jurisdictions and, at any point in time, has 40–50 jurisdictional audits underway at various stages of completion. We evaluate our tax positions and establish liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by local authorities and may not be fully sustained, despite our belief that the underlying tax positions are fully supportable. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law and closing of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the tax provision as appropriate. We have tax years open ranging from 2010 and forward. We are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts until the close of an audit. Based on information currently available, we anticipate that over the next 12 month period, audit activity could be completed related to uncertain tax positions in multiple jurisdictions for which we have accrued existing liabilities of less than $10, including interest and penalties.

Additional information on the Commitments and Contingencies of the Company can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021.

A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those projected herein, is included in the section titled "Economic Conditions and Uncertainties" and the section titled "Risk Factors" (Part II, Item 1A) of this Form 10-Q.

The purpose of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is to provide an understanding of Procter & Gamble's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows by focusing on changes in certain key measures from year to year. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes.

The MD&A is organized into the following sections:

•Overview

•Summary of Results – Nine months ended March 31, 2022

•Economic Conditions and Uncertainties

•Results of Operations – Three and Nine Months ended March 31, 2022

•Business Segment Discussion – Three and Nine Months ended March 31, 2022

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Reconciliation of Measures Not Defined by U.S. GAAP

Throughout the MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance, including unit volume growth, net sales and net earnings. We also refer to a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), that include organic sales growth, core net earnings per share (Core EPS), adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow productivity. The explanation at the end of the MD&A provides the definition of these non-GAAP measures, details on the use and the derivation of these measures, as well as reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

Management also uses certain market share and market consumption estimates to evaluate performance relative to competition, despite some limitations on the availability and comparability of share and consumption information. References to market share and market consumption in the MD&A are based on a combination of vendor purchased traditional brick-and-mortar and online data in key markets as well as internal estimates. All market share references represent the percentage of sales of our products in dollar terms on a constant currency basis relative to all product sales in the category. The Company measures fiscal year to date market shares through the most recent period for which market share data is available, which typically reflects a lag time of one or two months as compared to the end of the reporting period. Management also uses unit volume growth to evaluate and explain drivers of changes in net sales. Organic volume growth reflects year-over-year changes in unit volume excluding the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and certain one-time items, if applicable, and is used to explain changes in organic sales.

OVERVIEW

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

The following are highlights of results for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 versus the nine months ended March 31, 2021:

•Net sales increased 6% to $60.7 billion, due to a double digit increase in Health Care, a high single digit increase in Fabric & Home Care, mid-single digit increases in Grooming and Baby, Feminine & Family Care and a low single digit increase in Beauty. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange, increased 7%. Overall, organic sales increased double digits in Health Care, increased high single digits in Fabric & Home Care, increased mid-single digits in Grooming and Baby, Feminine & Family Care and increased low single digits in Beauty.

•Net earnings were $11.7 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion, or 3%, versus the prior year period due to the increase in net sales and a prior year period loss on early debt extinguishment, partially offset by a decrease in operating margin.

•Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble were $11.7 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion, or 3%, versus the prior year.

•Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) increased 5% to $4.59 due primarily to the increase in net earnings and a reduction in the weighted average shares outstanding. Net earnings per share increased 1% versus the prior year period core net earnings per share due to the prior period loss on early debt extinguishment.

•Operating cash flow was $13.0 billion. Adjusted free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures and certain other impacts, was $10.8 billion. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 92%.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Global Economic Conditions. Our products are sold in numerous countries across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa, with more than half our sales generated outside the United States. As such, we are exposed to and impacted by global macroeconomic factors, U.S. and foreign government policies and foreign exchange fluctuations. Global economic conditions continue to be highly volatile due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in market size contractions in certain countries due to economic slowdowns and government restrictions on movement. Other macroeconomic factors also remain dynamic, and any causes of market size contraction, such as greater political unrest or instability in the Middle East, Central & Eastern Europe (including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War), certain Latin American markets, the Hong Kong market in Greater China and the Korean peninsula could reduce our sales or erode our operating margin, and consequently reduce our net earnings and cash flows.

Changes in Costs. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, transportation costs and our own productivity efforts. We have significant exposures to certain commodities, in particular certain oil-derived materials like resins and paper-based materials like pulp. Volatility in the market price of these commodity input materials has a direct impact on our costs. Disruptions in our manufacturing, supply and distribution operations, including energy shortages, port congestions, labor constraints and freight container and truck shortages have impacted our costs and could do so in the future. If we are unable to manage these impacts through pricing actions, cost savings projects and sourcing decisions, as well as through consistent productivity improvements, it may adversely impact our gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows. Net sales could also be adversely impacted following pricing actions if there is a negative impact on the consumption of our products. We strive to implement, achieve and sustain cost improvement plans, including outsourcing projects, supply chain optimization and general overhead and workforce optimization. If we are not successful in executing and sustaining these changes, there could be a negative impact on our gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows.

Foreign Exchange. We have both translation and transaction exposure to the fluctuation of exchange rates. Translation exposures relate to exchange rate impacts of measuring income statements of foreign subsidiaries that do not use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Transaction exposures relate to 1) the impact from input costs that are denominated in a currency other than the local reporting currency and 2) the revaluation of transaction-related working capital balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. In three out of the past four years, a number of foreign currencies have weakened versus the U.S. dollar, leading to lower sales and earnings from these foreign exchange impacts. Certain countries that recently had and are currently experiencing significant exchange rate fluctuations include Argentina, Turkey, Brazil and Russia. These fluctuations have significantly impacted our historical net sales, costs and net earnings and could do so in the future. Increased pricing in response to certain fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may offset portions of the currency impacts but could also have a negative impact on the consumption of our products, which would negatively affect our net sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows.

Government Policies. Our net earnings and cash flows could be affected by changes in U.S. or foreign government legislative, regulatory or enforcement policies. For example, our net earnings and cash flows could be affected by any future legislative or

regulatory changes in U.S. or non-U.S. tax policy, or any significant change in global tax policy adopted under the current work being led by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") for the G20 focused on "Addressing the Challenges of the Digitalization of the Economy." The breadth of the OECD project extends beyond pure digital businesses, and if agreed and enacted by most countries, is likely to impact most large multinational businesses by both redefining jurisdictional taxation rights and broadly establishing a 15% minimum tax on their foreign operations. Our net sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows may also be impacted by changes in U.S. and foreign government policies related to environmental and climate change matters. Additionally, we attempt to carefully manage our debt, currency and other exposures in certain countries with currency exchange, import authorization and pricing controls, such as Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Argentina and Turkey. Further, our net sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows could be affected by changes to international trade agreements in North America and elsewhere. Changes in government policies in these areas might cause an increase or decrease in our net sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows.

COVID-19 Disclosures. Because we sell products that are essential to the daily lives of consumers, the pandemic has not had a materially negative impact to our consolidated net sales, as positive and negative impacts continue to largely offset each other. We further describe these impacts for the period covered by this report in the Business Segment Discussion of the MD&A.

The continued evolution of the pandemic and emergence of new variants may result in economic recessions or a slowdown of economic growth in certain countries or globally. This may result in reduced demand for our products that would have a negative impact on our net sales, net earnings and cash flows. It could also lead to volatility in consumer access to our products (due to government actions or key material, transportation and labor shortages impacting our ability to produce and ship products) or could impact consumers’ movements and access to our products. The resumption towards normalcy in economic activity as governmental restrictions are relaxed and economies gradually, partially or fully reopen in certain regions and markets, could also result in reduced demand due to consumption decreases and consumer pantry destocking (particularly, in home cleaning and hygiene products). Our retail customers are also impacted by the pandemic, and their success in addressing issues and maintaining their operations could impact consumer access to and, as a result, sales of our products.

We believe that in the long term, there will continue to be strong demand for categories in which we operate, particularly our products that deliver essential health, hygiene and cleaning benefits. However, the uncertainty in the timing and extent of demand volatility, the relaxation and reimplementation of movement restrictions, the timing and impact of potential consumer pantry destocking, the future economic trends due to a resurgence of positive cases, the emergence of new variants of the virus, the speed at which treatments and vaccines are administered and governmental actions in response to the pandemic may result in heightened volatility of net sales, net earnings and cash flows during and subsequent to the pandemic.

Business Continuity. Our ability to continue to operate without any significant negative impacts will, in part, depend on our ability to protect our employees and our supply chain. The Company has endeavored to follow the recommendations from governments and health authorities, including on vaccine administration, with specific measures in place for those working in our plants and distribution facilities. We have also worked closely with local and national officials to keep our manufacturing facilities open due to the essential nature of the majority of our products.

While we have been able to broadly maintain our operations, we experienced some disruption in our supply chain in certain markets due primarily to the restriction of employee movements, key material and labor shortages and transportation constraints. We intend to continue to work with our suppliers and government authorities to implement employee safety measures to minimize disruption to the manufacturing and distribution of our products. However, uncertainty in the duration and scope of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants of the virus, the likelihood of a resurgence of positive cases, the speed at which treatments and vaccines are administered and governmental actions in response to the pandemic could result in an unforeseen disruption to our supply chain and impact our operations (for example, the closure of a key manufacturing or distribution facility or the inability of a key material or transportation supplier to source and transport materials).

Liquidity. Because the pandemic, thus far, has not had a material negative impact on our operations, on the demand for our products or the resulting net sales and net earnings, it has not negatively impacted the Company’s liquidity position. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs and continue to maintain access to capital markets enabled by our strong short- and long-term credit ratings.

Impairments. We have not observed any material impairments or other significant reductions in the fair value of our recorded assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Russia-Ukraine War. The war between Russia and Ukraine has negatively impacted our operations in both countries. Our Ukraine business includes two manufacturing sites. We have approximately 500 employees including both manufacturing and non-manufacturing personnel. In fiscal 2021, our operations in Ukraine accounted for less than 1% of consolidated net sales and net earnings. Additionally, net assets of our Ukraine subsidiary, along with Ukraine related assets held by other subsidiaries, account for less than 1% of net assets as of March 31, 2022.

Our Russia business includes two manufacturing sites with a net book value of approximately $250 million. We have approximately 2,500 employees, including both manufacturing and non-manufacturing personnel. In fiscal 2021, our operations in Russia accounted for less than 2% of consolidated net sales and less than 1% of net earnings. Additionally, net assets of our Russia subsidiaries, along with Russia related assets held by other subsidiaries, account for less than 2% of net assets as of March 31, 2022. In March 2022, the Company announced a reduction of its product portfolio, the discontinuation of new capital investments and the suspension of media, advertising and promotional activity in Russia.

Future impacts to the Company are difficult to predict due to the high level of uncertainty as to how the war will evolve, what its duration will be and its ultimate resolution. Within Ukraine, there is a possibility of physical damage and destruction of our two manufacturing facilities. We may not be able to operate our manufacturing sites and source raw materials from our suppliers or ship finished products to our customers. Ultimately, these could result in impairments of our manufacturing plants and fixed assets or write-downs of other operating assets and working capital.

Within Russia, we may not be able to continue our reduced operations at current levels due to sanctions and counter-sanctions, monetary, currency or payment controls, restrictions on access to financial institutions and supply and transportation challenges. Our suppliers, distributors and retail customers are also impacted by the war and their ability to successfully maintain their operations could also impact our operations or negatively impact the sales of our products.

More broadly, there could be additional negative impacts to our net sales, earnings and cash flows should the situation escalate beyond its current scope, including, among other potential impacts, economic recessions in certain neighboring countries or globally due to inflationary pressures and supply chain cost increases or the geographic proximity of the war relative to the rest of Europe.

For a more complete discussion of the risks we encounter in our business, please refer to Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter increased 7% to $19.4 billion. Unit volume increased 3%. Foreign exchange had a 3% negative impact on net sales. Higher pricing increased net sales by 5%. Mix increased net sales by 2% due to positive geographic mix from the disproportionate growth of the North America region and positive category mix from the disproportionate growth of the Personal Health Care business, both of which have higher than Company-average selling prices. Organic sales increased 10% on a 3% increase in organic volume.

Net sales increased double digits in Health Care, increased high single digits in Fabric & Home Care and in Baby, Feminine & Family Care, and increased low single digits in Grooming and in Beauty. On a regional basis, volume increased mid-single digits in North America and Latin America, and increased low single digits in Europe and Asia Pacific. These increases were partially offset by a mid-single digit volume decrease in Greater China.

(2)Other includes the sales mix impact from acquisitions and divestitures and rounding impacts necessary to reconcile volume to net sales.

Operating Costs

Gross margin decreased 400 basis points to 46.7% of net sales for the quarter. The decrease in gross margin was due to:

•410 basis points of increased commodity costs,

•a 130 basis-point decline from unfavorable mix, primarily due to negative product mix resulting from the launch and growth of premium-priced products that are profit-accretive but have lower than Company-average gross margin,

•70 basis points of net manufacturing cost increases as 80 basis points of increased transportation costs and 30 basis points of product and packaging investments were partially offset by 40 basis points of gross savings and

•a 20 basis-point decline from unfavorable foreign exchange impacts.

These impacts were partially offset by

•a 220 basis-point increase due to higher pricing and

•10 basis points of increased cost leverage due to the growth of net sales.

Total SG&A spending decreased 7% to $5 billion due to decreased marketing spending, overhead costs and other operating costs. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 380 basis points to 26% due primarily to decreases in both marketing and overhead costs as a percentage of sales. Overhead costs as a percentage of net sales decreased 140 basis points primarily due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase and productivity savings, partially offset by inflation and other cost increases. Marketing spending as a percentage of net sales decreased 220 basis points due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase, savings in production costs and lower spending versus the prior year period with a high level of media spending. Other operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 20 basis points. Productivity-driven cost savings delivered 130 basis points of benefit to SG&A as a percentage of net sales.

Non-Operating Expenses and Income

Interest expense was $109 million for the quarter, a $3 million increase versus the prior year period. Interest income was $9 million for the quarter, a $2 million decrease versus the prior year period. Other non-operating income was $147 million, a decline of $40 million primarily due to an unrealized gain on equity investments in the prior year period, partially offset by a current period increase in net non-operating benefits on defined benefit retirement plans.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the effective tax rate increased 105 basis points to 17.3% due to:

•an 80 basis-point increase from discrete impacts related to uncertain tax positions (15 basis points of unfavorable impact in the current period versus 65 basis points of favorable impact in the prior year period),

•a 55 basis-point increase from lower current period deductions for foreign-derived intangible income versus prior year period, and

•45 basis points of increase due to unfavorable geographic mix of current year earnings.

These increases were partially offset by a 75 basis-point decrease from higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation (a 255 basis-point benefit in the current period versus a 180 basis-point benefit in the prior year period).

Net Earnings

Operating income increased $0.2 billion, or 6%, to $4.0 billion for the quarter, as the increase in net sales was partially offset by the decrease in operating margin, the components of which are described above. Net earnings increased $0.1 billion, or 4%, to $3.4 billion as the increase in operating income was partially offset by a decrease in other non-operating income and an increase in effective income tax rate. Foreign exchange had a negative impact of approximately $130 million on net earnings for the quarter, including both transactional and translational impacts from converting earnings from foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars. Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased $0.1 billion, or 3%, to $3.4 billion for the quarter. Diluted net earnings per share of $1.33 increased by 6% versus the prior year period due to the increase in net earnings and a reduction in the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Nine Months Ended March 31, 2022

The following discussion provides a review of results for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 versus the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

Net earnings			19.3%						20.0%						(70)
Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble			19.3%						19.9%						(60)

Net Sales

Net sales for the period increased 6% to $60.7 billion on a 3% increase in unit volume. Higher pricing increased net sales by 3%. Positive mix increased net sales by 1% driven by positive geographic and category mix caused by the disproportionate growth of the North America region and the Personal Health Care category, both of which have higher than Company-average selling prices. This was partially offset by the disproportionate growth of the Fabric Care business, which has lower than Company-average selling prices. Unfavorable foreign exchange decreased net sales by 1%. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange, organic sales increased 7%.

Net sales increased double digits in Health Care, increased high single digits in Fabric & Home Care, increased mid-single digits in Grooming and Baby, Feminine & Family Care, and increased low single digits in Beauty. On a regional basis, volume

increased mid-single digits in North America and Latin America and low single digits in Europe and Asia Pacific, partially offset by low single digit decreases in Greater China and IMEA.

(1)Net sales percentage changes are approximations based on quantitative formulas that are consistently applied.    

(2)Other includes the sales mix impact from acquisitions and divestitures and rounding impacts necessary to reconcile volume to net sales.

Operating Costs

Gross margin decreased 390 basis points to 48.3% of net sales for the period. The decrease in gross margin was due to:

•380 basis points of increased commodity costs,

•a 140 basis-point decline from unfavorable mix, primarily due to negative product mix caused by the launch and disproportionate growth of premium-priced products that are profit-accretive but have lower than Company-average gross margin and

•10 basis points of net manufacturing cost increases as 60 basis points of increased transportation costs and 20 basis points of product and packaging investments were partially offset by 70 basis points of gross savings.

These impacts were offset by:

•a 130 basis-point increase due to higher pricing and

•10 basis points of benefit from favorable foreign exchange impacts.

Total SG&A spending decreased 2% to $15.1 billion due to decreased marketing spending, overhead costs and other operating costs. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 210 basis points to 24.9% primarily due to decreases in both overhead costs and marketing spending as a percentage of net sales. Overhead costs as a percentage of net sales decreased 100 basis points primarily due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase and productivity savings, partially offset by inflation and other cost increases. Marketing spending as a percentage of net sales decreased 100 basis points due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase and increased savings. Other operating expenses as a percentage of net sales declined 10 basis points, as a gain on the sale of operating real estate was offset by increased foreign exchange transactional charges. Productivity-driven cost savings delivered 80 basis points of benefit to SG&A as a percentage of net sales.

Non-Operating Expenses and Income

Interest expense was $324 million for the period, a $61 million decrease versus the prior year period driven by lower average interest rates. Interest income was $30 million for the period, unchanged versus the prior year period. Net other non-operating income was $424 million, an improvement of $464 million due primarily to a prior period loss on early-debt extinguishment and a current period increase in net non-operating benefits on defined benefit retirement plans, partially offset by unrealized gains on equity investments in the prior period and unrealized losses on equity investments in the current period.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the effective tax rate decreased 35 basis points versus the prior year period to 18.2% due to:

•a 55 basis-point decrease from higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation (a 225 basis-point benefit in the current period versus a 170 basis-point benefit in the prior year period) and

•a 10 basis-point decrease from the impact of the early extinguishment of debt in the prior year period.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•a 15 basis-point increase from discrete impacts related to uncertain tax positions (a 10 basis-point favorable impact in the current period versus a 25 basis-point favorable impact in the prior year period) and

•a 15 basis-point increase from unfavorable impacts from the geographic mix of current year to date earnings.

Net Earnings

Operating income decreased $0.2 billion, or 2%, to $14.2 billion for the fiscal year to date period, as the increase in net sales was more than offset by the decrease in operating margin, the components of which are described above. Net earnings increased $0.3 billion, or 3%, to $11.7 billion for the fiscal year to date period as the decrease in operating income was more than offset by the increase in other non-operating income and by the decrease in interest expense. Foreign exchange had a negative impact of approximately $110 million on net earnings for the period, including both transactional and translational impacts from converting earnings from foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars. Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased $0.3 billion, or 3%, to $11.7 billion for the fiscal year to date period. Diluted net earnings per share increased 5% to $4.59 versus the prior year period due to the increase in net earnings and a reduction in the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Beauty

Three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with three months ended March 31, 2021

Beauty net sales increased 2% to $3.4 billion on unit volume that was unchanged. Higher pricing increased net sales by 4%. Foreign exchange impacts decreased net sales by 2%. Excluding the impacts of the Farmacy Beauty, Ouai and TULA acquisitions, organic sales increased 3% on a 1% decrease in organic volume. Global market share of the Beauty segment increased 0.1 points.

•Hair Care net sales increased low single digits. Negative impacts of a low single digit volume decrease and unfavorable foreign exchange were more than fully offset by increased pricing and favorable mix, due to the growth of premium products and the acquisitions. Organic sales also increased low single digits. Volume decreased high single digits in IMEA (due to competitive activity and lower shipments following increased pricing), decreased mid-single digits in North America (due to supply shortages in stylers following a product recall in the prior period) and Greater China (due to pandemic-related lockdowns and market slowdown in traditional retailers where our shares are disproportionally higher, versus social commerce retailers) and decreased low single digits in Latin America (due to competitive activity). Global market share of the Hair Care category decreased more than a point.

•Skin and Personal Care net sales increased mid-single digits. Positive impacts of a mid-single digit volume increase and increased pricing were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and unfavorable mix (due to a lower proportion of SK-II brand and Greater China, both of which have higher than category-average selling prices). Excluding the impacts of the acquisitions, organic sales increased low single digits. Volume increased high teens in Latin America (due to market growth) and increased double digits in North America (due to market growth versus the prior year period that was negatively impacted by the pandemic). This volume increase was partially offset by a mid-single digit decrease in Greater China (due to pandemic-related lockdowns and market slowdown in traditional retailers where our shares are disproportionally higher, versus social commerce retailers). Excluding the impacts of the acquisitions, volume in North America increased high single digits. Global market share of the Skin and Personal Care category increased more than half a point.

Net earnings increased 12% to $644 million due to the increase in net sales and a 160 basis-point increase in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin increased due to a reduction in SG&A as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a decrease in gross margin. The gross margin reduction was driven by increased commodity and transportation costs, negative product mix caused by a lower proportion of sales of SK-II brand (which has higher than segment-average gross margins), partially offset by increased pricing and manufacturing cost savings. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased as the positive scale benefits of the net sales increase and a decrease in media spending were partially offset by an increase in overhead costs.

Organic sales increased low single digits. Volume decreased mid-single digits in IMEA (due to competitive activity) and decreased low single digits in Greater China (due to retailer inventory reductions and market slowdown in traditional retailers where our shares are disproportionately higher, versus social commerce retailers) and in Latin America (following increased pricing and due to competitive activity). This was partially offset by a low single digit volume increase in Europe, due to market growth versus the prior year period negatively impacted by the pandemic. Excluding the impacts of the acquisitions, volume in North America decreased low single digits. Global market share of the Hair Care category decreased less than a point.

•Skin and Personal Care net sales increased mid-single digits. Positive impacts of a low single digit increase in volume, increased pricing and favorable foreign exchange were partially offset by negative category mix due to a lower proportion of SK-II brand (which has higher than category-average selling prices).

Organic sales increased double digits. Volume increased mid-single digits in Europe (due to innovation and market growth versus the prior year period that was negatively impacted by the pandemic) and in Asia Pacific (due to market growth versus the prior year period that was negatively impacted by the pandemic) and increased low single digits in North America (due to innovation and retailer inventory increases to support new product launches) and IMEA (due to market growth). This was partially offset by a high single digit decrease in Greater China (due primarily to market slowdown in traditional retailers where our shares are disproportionally higher, versus social commerce retailers) and a low single digit decrease in Latin America (due to distribution coverage losses in certain markets). Global market share of the Shave Care category increased nearly half a point.

•Appliances net sales decreased high single digits as a high single digit decrease in volume and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts were partially offset by favorable mix (due to a higher proportion of premium shavers and stylers, which have higher than category-average selling prices). Organic sales decreased low single digits. Volume decreased approximately 20% in Europe (due to market contraction versus the prior year period that benefited from a pandemic-related consumption increase). This was partially offset by a high teens increase in Asia Pacific (due to innovation) and a mid-teens increase in North America (due to innovation and retailer inventory increases to support new product launches). Global market share of the Appliances category increased more than half a point.

Net earnings increased 13% to $290 million due to the increase in net sales and a 170 basis-point increase in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin increased due to an increase in gross margin and a reduction in SG&A as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. The gross margin increase was driven by increased pricing and manufacturing cost savings, partially offset by negative mix caused by the launch and growth of premium-priced, profit-accretive products that have lower than segment-average gross margins. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase. The higher effective tax rate was driven by disproportionate growth in North America, which has higher than Company-average tax rates.

Organic sales increased high single digits. Volume increased high single digits in North America (due to innovation) and low single digits in Europe (due to innovation and market growth versus the prior year period that was negatively impacted by the pandemic). This was partially offset by a double-digit decline in Greater China (due to market slowdown in traditional retailers where our shares are disproportionally higher, versus social commerce retailers). Global market share of the Shave Care category increased nearly half a point.

•Appliances net sales decreased low single digits. Negative impacts of a mid-single digit decline in volume and unfavorable foreign exchange were partially offset by increased pricing and positive mix (due to a higher proportion of premium shavers and epilators, which have higher than category-average selling prices). Organic sales were unchanged. Volume declined high single digits in Europe, mid-single digits in North America and low single digits in Asia Pacific, all due to market contraction versus the prior year period that benefited from pandemic-related consumption increases. Global market share of the Appliances category increased more than half a point.

Organic sales increased high single digits. Volume increased more than 20% in Asia Pacific (due to distribution gains and market growth) and increased mid-single digits in North America (due to premium innovation) and Latin America (due to market growth). This volume increase was partially offset by a mid-teens decrease in Greater China (due to slowdown of the power brush market and pandemic-related lockdowns), a high single digit decrease in IMEA (due to competitive activity) and a low single digit decrease in Europe (following increased pricing in certain markets). Global market share of the Oral Care category increased nearly half a point.

•Personal Health Care net sales increased more than 20%.

Global market share of the Personal Health Care category increased slightly.

Net earnings increased 29% to $485 million due to the increase in net sales and a 220 basis-point increase in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin increased due primarily to a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by a decrease in gross margin and a higher effective tax rate. The decrease in gross margin was driven by increased commodity and transportation costs and other cost increases associated with the global chip shortage, partially offset by increased pricing and positive mix caused by the disproportionate growth of respiratory products that have higher than segment-average gross margins. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased due primarily to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase.

Corporate

Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities not allocated to specific business segments. These include: the incidental businesses managed at the corporate level; financing and investing activities; certain employee benefit costs; other general corporate items; the gains and losses related to certain divested brands and categories; and certain restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization. Corporate also includes reconciling items to adjust the accounting policies used in the reportable segments to U.S. GAAP. The most significant reconciling item relates to income taxes, to adjust from blended statutory rates that are reflected in the reportable segments to the overall Company effective tax rate.

Corporate net sales improved by $95 million to $215 million for the quarter and improved by $189 million to $505 million for the fiscal year to date, both due to an increase in sales of incidental businesses managed at the corporate level. Corporate net earnings improved by $2 million to $143 million for the quarter. For the fiscal year to date period, Corporate net earnings improved by $616 million to $382 million, due primarily to the prior year period loss on the early debt extinguishment, net sales growth, current period tax benefits (primarily higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation) and lower interest expense, partially offset by increased commodity costs tied to the aforementioned incidental businesses and higher foreign exchange transactional charges.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

We generated $13.0 billion of cash from operating activities fiscal year to date, a decrease of $1.2 billion versus the prior year period. Net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes and gain on sale of assets), generated $13.9 billion of operating cash flow. Working capital and other impacts used $865 million of cash in the period. Accounts receivable increased, using $916 million of cash, driven by sales growth across regions. Days sales outstanding increased by two days. Inventory increased, consuming $1.3 billion of cash driven by increased commodity costs and increased safety stock levels to strengthen supply chain sufficiency amidst business growth. Days on hand increased by three days. Accounts payable, accrued and other net operating assets and liabilities increased, generating $1.3 billion of cash, driven by an increase in trade payables in line with the increase in inventory and commodity costs and, to a lesser extent, the impact of extended payment terms with suppliers. This was partially offset by the payment of prior fiscal year-end incentive compensation and other salary-related accruals. Days payable outstanding decreased by two days.

Investing Activities

Investing activities used $3.7 billion of cash fiscal year to date driven by capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Financing activities used $10.7 billion of net cash fiscal year to date. We used $8.8 billion for treasury stock purchases and $6.5 billion for dividends. We generated $2.7 billion from net debt increases and $1.8 billion from the exercise of stock options and other impacts.

As of March 31, 2022, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $11.0 billion. We have short- and long-term debt to meet our financing needs. We anticipate being able to support our short-term liquidity and operating needs largely through cash generated from operations. We have strong short- and long-term debt ratings that have enabled and should continue to enable us to refinance our debt as it becomes due at favorable rates in commercial paper and bond markets. In addition, we have agreements with a diverse group of financial institutions that, if needed, should provide sufficient credit funding to meet short-term financing requirements.

RECONCILIATION OF MEASURES NOT DEFINED BY U.S. GAAP

In accordance with the SEC's Regulation S-K Item 10(e), the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful perspective on underlying business trends and provide a supplemental measure of period-to-period financial results. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. Certain of these measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Organic sales growth: Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. This measure is used in assessing achievement of management goals for at-risk compensation.

Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending and excluding payments for the transitional tax resulting from the U.S. Tax Act (the Company incurred a transitional tax liability of approximately $3.8 billion in fiscal 2018 from the U.S. Tax Act of 2017, which is payable over a period of 8 years). Adjusted free cash flow represents the cash that the Company is able to generate after taking into account planned maintenance and asset expansion. Management views adjusted free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor used in determining the amount of cash available for dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions and other discretionary investments.

Adjusted free cash flow productivity: Adjusted free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings. Management views adjusted free cash flow productivity as a useful measure to help investors understand P&G’s ability to generate cash. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for budget planning purposes. This measure is also used in assessing the achievement of management goals for at-risk compensation. The Company's long-term target is to generate annual adjusted free cash flow productivity at or above 90 percent.

Core EPS: Core earnings per share, or Core EPS, is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share excluding items that are not judged to be part of the Company's sustainable results or trends. Management views this non-GAAP measure as a useful supplemental measure of Company performance over time. This measure is also used when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation.

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

Early debt extinguishment charges: In the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded after tax charges of $427 million ($512 million before tax), due to early extinguishment of certain long-term debt. These charges represent the difference between the reacquisition price and the par value of the debt extinguished.

We do not view the above item to be part of our sustainable results and its exclusion from Core earnings measures provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year results. This item is also excluded when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation.
