Procter & Gamble reported third quarter fiscal year 2020 net sales of $17.2 billion, an increase of 5% versus the prior year. Excluding the net impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures, organic sales increased 6%.
“The strong results we delivered this quarter are a direct reflection of the integral role our products play in meeting the daily health, hygiene and cleaning needs of consumers around the world,” says David Taylor, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our organization has been doing a terrific job against our near-term priorities – protecting the health and safety of each other, maximizing availability of P&G products to meet heightened consumer need and helping society meet and overcome the challenges of this crisis.”
Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment organic sales increased 7% versus year ago. Baby Care organic sales increased low single digits driven by increased demand in certain markets and positive mix due to the disproportionate growth of premium products, partially offset by reduced volumes in China primarily due to the temporary disruption of retail markets. Feminine Care organic sales increased high single digits driven by innovation, increased marketing spending, increased pricing and positive product mix due to the disproportionate growth of premium products. Family Care organic sales increased double digits driven by a sharp increase in consumer demand, partially offset by unfavorable mix due to the disproportionate growth of large sizes and club channels.
