Procter & Gamble (P&G) has reported net sales of $20.2bn up 1% year-on-year in its Q3 fiscal year 2024 results, as it reports “strong earnings growth despite multiple headwinds.”
Between January – March 2024, organic sales increased 3% and was driven by a 3% increase from higher pricing. Net earnings were $3.8bn for the quarter.
In the company’s Family Care segment – which includes toilet tissue, facial tissues, and paper towels – organic sales increased low single digits due to volume growth, which the company said was partially offset by unfavourable product mix.
