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/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. 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.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies
On July 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." The standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring a goodwill impairment to be measured using a single step impairment model, whereby the impairment equals the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the specified reporting units in their entirety. This eliminated the second step of the previous impairment model that required companies to first estimate the fair value of all assets in a reporting unit and measure impairments based on those estimated fair values and a residual measurement approach. It also specifies that any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The impact of the new standard will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of future individual impairments, if any.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The amendments provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating our contracts and the optional expedients provided by the new standard.
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:

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is allocated by reportable segment as follows:
Beauty Grooming Health Care Fabric & Home Care Baby, Feminine & Family Care Total Company
Goodwill at June 30, 2020 $ 12,902  $ 12,815  $ 7,786  $ 1,841  $ 4,557  $ 39,901 
Translation and other 251  182  148  19  68  668 
Goodwill at September 30, 2020 $ 13,153  $ 12,997  $ 7,934  $ 1,860  $ 4,625  $ 40,569 
Goodwill increased from June 30, 2020 due to currency translation.
Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.



Identifiable intangible assets at September 30, 2020 were comprised of:
Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization
Intangible assets with determinable lives $ 8,571  $ (5,849)
Intangible assets with indefinite lives 21,092   
Total identifiable intangible assets $ 29,663  $ (5,849)
Intangible assets with determinable lives consist of brands, patents, technology and customer relationships. The intangible assets with indefinite lives consist of brands. The amortization expense of determinable lived intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $84 and $96, 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 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 its 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 and 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 two times their underlying carrying values. Certain of our goodwill reporting units, in particular Shave Care and Appliances, are comprised entirely of acquired businesses and as a result, have 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 value of the Shave Care reporting unit and the related Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset were impaired during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Also as previously disclosed, the Shave Care reporting unit fair value exceeded its carrying value by more than 20% and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset fair value approximated its carrying value as of our most recent impairment testing dates. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded during the year ended June 30, 2020.
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) and discount rate. The residual growth rate represents the expected rate at which the 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.
While management can and 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 indefinite-lived intangibles. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic could also result in additional future impairment charges for the Shave Care reporting unit goodwill and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset is most susceptible to future impairment risk. Our assessment of the Gillette intangible asset assumes the pandemic’s impact on net sales will be largely eliminated in the second half of the fiscal year. There continues to be an extreme
Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.


level of uncertainty relating to how the pandemic will evolve and how governments and consumers will react. Accordingly, there is a significant amount of risk related to this key assumption. A more prolonged pandemic 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 temporary inability of consumers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine or other travel restrictions, or financial hardship, or by shifts in demand away from one or more of our higher priced products to lower priced products. In addition, relative global and country/regional macroeconomic factors 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 September 30, 2020, the carrying values of the Shave Care goodwill and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset were $12.7 billion and $14.1 billion, respectively.
The table below provides a sensitivity analysis for the Shave Care reporting unit and the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset, utilizing reasonably possible changes in the assumptions for the shorter term and residual growth rates and the discount rate, to demonstrate the potential impacts to the 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 or a 25 basis-point decrease in our shorter-term and residual growth rates, either of which, in isolation, would result in an additional impairment of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset.

5. Earnings Per Share
Basic net earnings per common share are calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble less preferred dividends (net of related tax benefits) 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 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 September 30
2020 2019
Net earnings $ 4,308  $ 3,617 
Less: Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests 31  24 
Net earnings attributable to P&G (Diluted) 4,277  3,593 
Less: Preferred dividends, net of tax 66  65 
Net earnings attributable to P&G available to common shareholders (Basic) $ 4,211  $ 3,528 
SHARES IN MILLIONS
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 2,486.1  2,504.0 
Add: Effect of dilutive securities
Conversion of preferred shares (1)
83.9  87.4 
Impact of stock options and other unvested equity awards (2)
55.3  56.1 
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 2,625.3  2,647.5 
NET EARNINGS PER SHARE (3)
Basic $ 1.69  $ 1.41 
Diluted $ 1.63  $ 1.36 
(1)Despite being included currently in Diluted net earnings per common share, the actual conversion to common stock occurs when the preferred shares are sold. Shares may only be sold after being allocated to the ESOP participants pursuant to the repayment of the ESOP's obligations through 2035.
(2)Weighted average outstanding stock options of approximately 1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were not included in the Diluted net earnings per share calculation because the options were out of the money or to do so would have been antidilutive (i.e., the total proceeds upon exercise would have exceeded the market value of the underlying common shares).
(3)Net earnings per share are calculated on Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble.
6. Share-Based Compensation and Postretirement Benefits
The following table provides a summary of our share-based compensation expense and postretirement benefit costs:
Three Months Ended September 30
2020 2019
Share-based compensation expense $ 89     $ 110 
Net periodic benefit cost for pension benefits (1)
47  40 
Net periodic benefit credit for other retiree benefits (1)
(80) (52)
(1)The components of the total net periodic benefit cost for both pension benefits and other retiree benefits for these interim periods, on an annualized basis, do not differ materially from the amounts disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.



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 three months ended September 30, 2020.
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 three months ended September 30, 2020.
Other investments had a fair value of $66 and $67 as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively, and are presented in Other noncurrent assets. The Company's investments measured at fair value are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Cash equivalents were $12.2 billion and $14.6 billion as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively, and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. There are no other material investment balances classified as Level 1 or Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy or using net asset value as a practical expedient. Fair values are generally estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments.
The fair value of long-term debt was $29.5 billion and $29.0 billion as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. This includes the current portion of long-term debt instruments ($2.5 billion as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020). 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 September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 are as follows:
Notional Amount Fair Value Asset Fair Value (Liability)
September 30, 2020 June 30, 2020 September 30, 2020 June 30, 2020 September 30, 2020 June 30, 2020
DERIVATIVES IN FAIR VALUE HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS
Interest rate contracts $ 7,339  $ 7,114  $ 276  $ 269  $   $ — 
DERIVATIVES IN NET INVESTMENT HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS
Foreign currency interest rate contracts $ 8,089  $ 3,856  $ 21  $ 26  $ (196) $ (41)
TOTAL DERIVATIVES DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS $ 15,428  $ 10,970  $ 297  $ 295  $ (196) $ (41)
DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
Foreign currency contracts $ 5,944  $ 5,986  $ 40  $ 23  $ (32) $ (25)
TOTAL DERIVATIVES AT FAIR VALUE $ 21,372  $ 16,956  $ 337  $ 318  $ (228) $ (66)
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 $7.6 billion and $7.4 billion as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, 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 $12.5 billion and $16.0 billion as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The increase in the notional balance of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges is largely offset by the decrease in the principal balance of debt instruments designated as net investment hedges, reflecting the Company’s decision to leverage favorable interest rates in the foreign currency swap market versus the short-term debt market.
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.
Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.


Before tax gains/(losses) on our financial instruments in hedging relationships are categorized as follows:
Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivatives

DERIVATIVES IN NET INVESTMENT HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS (1) (2)
Foreign exchange contracts $ (186) $ 113 
(1)For the derivatives in net investment hedging relationships, the amount of gain excluded from effectiveness testing, which was recognized in earnings, was $14 and $19 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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/(loss) recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (AOCI) for such instruments was $(646) and $609 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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).

9. Restructuring Program
The Company has historically incurred an ongoing annual level of restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization. Before-tax costs incurred under the ongoing program have generally ranged from $250 to $500 annually.
In fiscal 2017, the Company announced specific elements of an additional multi-year productivity and cost savings plan to further reduce costs in the areas of supply chain, certain marketing activities and overhead expenses, which resulted in incremental restructuring charges through fiscal 2020. We expect fiscal 2021 restructuring charges to be more in line with our ongoing level of spending noted above.
Restructuring costs incurred consist primarily of costs to separate employees, asset-related costs to exit facilities and other costs. Employee separation costs relate to severance packages that were primarily voluntary and the amounts were calculated based on salary levels and past service periods. Severance costs related to voluntary separations are generally charged to earnings when the employee accepts the offer. Asset-related costs consist of both asset write-downs and accelerated depreciation. Asset write-downs relate to the establishment of a new fair value basis for assets held-for-sale or disposal. These assets were written down to the lower of their current carrying basis or amounts expected to be realized upon disposal, less minor disposal costs. Charges for accelerated depreciation relate to long-lived assets that will be taken out of service prior to the end of their normal service period. These assets relate primarily to manufacturing consolidations and technology standardizations. The asset-related charges will not have a significant impact on future depreciation charges. Other restructuring-type charges are incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program. Such charges primarily include asset removal and termination of contracts related to supply chain optimization.
The following table presents restructuring activity for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The majority of the charges during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the remaining reserve balance as of September 30, 2020 related to employee separations.

10. 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 2008 and forward. We are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts until the close of the 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 approximately $60, 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/A for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

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 in the following sections:

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2020
Business Segment Discussion – Three Months Ended September 30, 2020
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), consisting of 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 measures.
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.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Following are highlights of results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 versus the three months ended September 30, 2019:
Net sales increased 9% to $19.3 billion, driven by a mid-teens increase in Fabric & Home Care, a double digit increase in Health Care, a high single digits increase in Beauty, a mid-single digits increase in Grooming and a low single digits increase in Baby, Feminine & Family Care. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange, also increased 9%. Organic sales increased mid-teens in Fabric & Home Care, increased double digits in Health Care, increased high single digits in Beauty and increased mid-single digits in Grooming and in Baby, Feminine & Family Care.
Net earnings were $4.3 billion, an increase of $691 million or 19% versus the prior year period due to the increase in net sales and an increase in operating margins, partially offset by an increase in the current period income tax rate.
Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased $684 million or 19% versus the prior year period to $4.3 billion.
Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) increased 20% to $1.63 due primarily to the increase in net earnings.
Diluted net earnings per share increased 19% versus the prior year Core net earnings per share which excludes incremental restructuring charges in the base period.
Operating cash flow was $4.7 billion. Adjusted free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures and certain other impacts, was $4.1 billion. Adjusted free cash flow productivity was 95%.

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 macro-economic factors, U.S. and foreign government policies and foreign exchange fluctuations. Current global economic conditions are highly volatile due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in both market size contractions in certain countries due to economic slowdowns and government restrictions on movement, as well as market size increases in certain countries due to pantry loading and increased consumption of household cleaning and personal health and hygiene products by consumers. Other macro-economic factors also remain dynamic, and any causes of market size contraction, such as reduced GDP in commodity-dependent economies, greater political unrest or instability in the Middle East, Central & Eastern Europe, certain Latin American markets, the Hong Kong market in Greater China and the Korean peninsula and economic uncertainty related to the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, could reduce our sales or erode our operating margin, in either case reducing 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, and 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 due to the COVID-19 pandemic may also impact our costs. 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. Sales could also be adversely impacted following pricing actions if there is a negative impact on 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. In fiscal 2017, we communicated specific elements of a multi-year cost reduction program which is resulting in targeted enrollment reductions and other savings. 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 the past two fiscal years, as well as the current year, the U.S. dollar has strengthened versus a number of foreign currencies, leading to lower sales and earnings from these foreign exchange impacts. Certain countries experiencing significant exchange rate fluctuations, like Argentina, Brazil, Russia Turkey and the European Union have previously had, and could in the future have, a significant impact on our sales, costs and net earnings. 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 consumption of our products, which would affect our sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows.
Government Policies. Our net earnings could be affected by changes in U.S. or foreign government tax policies, for example, any regulatory guidance issued as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017 (the U.S. Tax Act) and the current work being led by the OECD for the G20 focused on "Addressing the Challenges of the Digitalization of the Economy." The breadth of this project extends beyond pure digital businesses and is likely to impact all multinational businesses by redefining jurisdictional taxation rights. Further, our sales, net earnings and cash flows may be impacted by U.S. and foreign government policies to manage the COVID-19 pandemic, such as movement restrictions or site closures. 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 sales, net earnings and cash flows could be affected by changes to international trade agreements in North America and elsewhere, including increases of import tariffs, both currently effective and future potential changes. Changes in government policies in these areas might cause an increase or decrease in our sales, gross margin, operating margin, net earnings and cash flows.
COVID-19 Pandemic Disclosures
The Company’s priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be protecting the health and safety of our employees; maximizing the availability of products that help consumers with their health, hygiene and cleaning needs; and using our employees’ talents and our resources to help society meet and overcome the current challenges. Because the Company sells products that are essential to the daily lives of consumers, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a materially negative impact to our consolidated sales, net earnings and cash flows. The pandemic has had both positive and negative impacts to our sales and net earnings during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. We have experienced a significant increase in demand and consumption of certain of our product categories (fabric, home cleaning and hygiene products) primarily in North America and Europe, caused in part by changing consumer habits, pantry stocking and retailer inventory replenishment, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing to increases in sales, net earnings and cash flows. At the same time, we experienced a decrease in sales due to the economic slowdown and restricted consumer movements in certain regions, including IMEA (India,
Middle East and Africa), Asia Pacific and Latin America, in certain channels including travel retail and professional, and in certain of our beauty and grooming products. In the future, the pandemic may cause reduced demand for our products if it results in a recessionary global economic environment. Demand in certain countries in Latin America, Asia Pacific, and IMEA may be particularly susceptible to recession. It could also lead to volatility in consumer access to our products due to government actions impacting our ability to produce and ship products or impacting consumers’ movements and access to our products. We believe that over 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 timing and extent of demand recovery in certain markets in Asia Pacific, IMEA and Latin America, the resumption of international travel, the timing and impact of potential consumer pantry destocking in markets including North America and Europe, and product demand volatility caused by future economic trends are unclear. Accordingly, there may be heightened volatility in sales, net earnings and cash flows during and subsequent to the duration of the pandemic. Our retail customers are also being impacted by the pandemic. Their success in addressing the issues and maintaining their operations could impact consumer access to, and as a result, sales of our products.
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 actions recommended by governments and health authorities to protect our employees world-wide, with particular 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. We have been able to broadly maintain our operations, but we have experienced some disruption in our supply chain in certain markets in Asia Pacific and IMEA due primarily to the restriction of employee movements as well as increased transportation and manufacturing costs. We intend to continue to work with government authorities and implement our employee safety measures to ensure that we are able to continue manufacturing and distributing our products during the pandemic. However, uncertainty resulting from the pandemic could result in an unforeseen disruption to our supply chain (for example a closure of a key manufacturing or distribution facility or the inability of a key material or transportation supplier to source and transport materials) that could impact our operations.
Because the pandemic has not had a material negative impact on our operations or demand for our products and resulting sales and net earnings, it has also not negatively impacted the Company’s liquidity position. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs, and we expect to maintain access to the capital markets enabled by our strong short- and long-term credit ratings. We have also not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For additional information on risk factors that could impact our results, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Net Sales
Net sales for the quarter increased 9% to $19.3 billion on a 7% increase in unit volume. Increased pricing had a 1% positive impact to net sales. Mix had a 1% positive impact to net sales, driven by the disproportionate growth of the North America region and the Home Care, Personal Care, Health Care and Appliances businesses all of which have higher than company-average selling prices. Foreign exchange had a negative 1% impact on net sales. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and foreign exchange, organic sales also increased 9% on a 7% increase in organic volume. Net sales increased mid-teens in Fabric & Home Care, increased double digits in Health Care, increased high single digits in Beauty, increased mid-single digits in Grooming and increased low single digits in Baby, Feminine & Family Care. On a regional basis, volume increased mid-teens in North America driven by innovation, increased demand and retailer inventory rebuild, particularly in household cleaning, health care and personal hygiene products due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic. Volume increased high single digits in Greater China, increased mid-single digits in IMEA and Latin America and increased low single digits in Europe. These increases were partially offset by a low single digits volume decrease in Asia Pacific primarily due to the base period inventory build by retailers in Japan in advance of a VAT increase.

Operating Costs
Gross margin increased 170 basis points to 52.7% of net sales for the quarter. Gross margin benefited from:
120 basis points of gross manufacturing cost savings projects (100 basis points net of product and packaging reinvestments),
70 basis points of lower commodity costs,
40 basis points of help from higher pricing,
30 basis points of help due to higher restructuring costs in the base period and
20 basis points of help from other impacts
These benefits were partially offset by a 60 basis point decline from unfavorable mix (due to the disproportionate growth of Home Care and Appliances categories which have lower than company average margins, as well as mix within segments due to the growth of lower margin product forms and large sizes in certain categories) and a 30 basis-point decline from unfavorable foreign exchange.
Total SG&A spending increased 2% to $4.9 billion primarily due to increases in marketing spending. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 160 basis points to 25.3% due to a reduction in marketing spending and overhead costs as a percentage of net sales. Marketing spending as a percentage of net sales decreased 50 basis points due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase and savings in agency compensation, production costs and advertising spending, partially offset by reinvestments in media. Overhead costs as a percentage of net sales declined 100 basis points due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase and productivity savings, partially offset by inflation and other cost increases. Other net operating costs as a percentage of net sales was unchanged. Productivity-driven cost savings delivered 110 basis points of benefit to SG&A as a percentage of net sales.
Non-Operating Expenses and Income
Interest expense was $136 million for the quarter, an increase of $28 million versus the prior year period due to an increase in average debt balances. Interest income was $10 million for the quarter, a $48 million decrease versus the prior year period due to lower average cash and investment securities balances and reduced U.S. interest rates. Other non-operating income was $142 million, an increase of $39 million due to gains from minor brand divestitures and an increase in net non-operating benefits on defined benefit retirement plans caused by annual actuarial assumption updates.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate increased 200 basis points versus the prior year period to 18.7% due to:
a 120 basis-point increase related to the prior year tax benefit arising from transactions to simplify our legal entity structure and
a 140 basis-point increase from unfavorable impacts from geographic mix of current year earnings, caused primarily by disproportionately higher sales and earnings in the U.S.
These increases are partially offset by:
a 10 basis-point decrease from discrete impacts related to uncertain tax positions (5 basis-point unfavorable impact in the current year versus a 15 basis-point unfavorable impact in the prior year period) and
a 50 basis-point decrease from higher excess tax benefits on share-based compensation (250 basis-point reduction in the current period versus 200 basis-point reduction in the prior year period).
Net Earnings
Operating income increased $991 million, or 23% to $5.3 billion for the quarter, due to the net sales increase, the increase in gross margin and the decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales, all of which are described above. Net earnings increased $691 million or 19% to $4.3 billion primarily due to the increase in operating income, partially offset by the increase in the effective tax rate. Foreign exchange had a negative impact of approximately $100 million on net earnings for the quarter, including both transactional charges and translational impacts from converting earnings from foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars. Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased $684 million or 19% to $4.3 billion for the quarter. Diluted net earnings per share increased 20% to $1.63 versus the base period diluted net EPS and increased 19% versus the base period Core EPS which represents diluted net earnings per share excluding incremental restructuring charges in the base period related to our productivity and cost savings plans.

Beauty
Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with three months ended September 30, 2019
Beauty net sales increased 7% to $3.8 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 7% increase in unit volume. Higher pricing increased net sales by 1%. Unfavorable foreign exchange impacts reduced net sales by 1%. Organic sales increased 7%. Global market share of the Beauty segment decreased 0.4 points.
Hair Care net sales increased mid-single digits, due to a mid-single digit increase in volumes and increased pricing, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. Organic sales increased high single digits. The volume increase was driven by a double digits increase in Greater China, a high single digits increase in North America, a mid-single digits increase in Latin America and low single digits increases in Asia Pacific and IMEA due to innovation, increased demand following pandemic-related shutdowns and inventory restocking. Global market share of the Hair Care category decreased slightly.
Skin and Personal Care net sales increased high single digits, due to a double digit increase in volumes, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and unfavorable mix impacts. Organic sales also increased high single digits. Volume grew more than 20% in Greater China, grew double digits in Asia Pacific and grew high single digits in North America driven by innovation and increased consumption due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Global market share of the Skin and Personal Care category decreased slightly.
Net earnings increased 12% to $976 million due to the increase in net sales and a 120 basis-point increase in net earnings margin. The net earnings margin increased due to a reduction in SG&A as a percentage of net sales partially offset by a reduction in gross margin and an increase in tax rates due to unfavorable geographic mix of earnings. The gross margin decrease was primarily driven by the negative impacts of unfavorable mix, due to the relatively lower global growth of the super-premium SKII brand, partially offset by increased pricing. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase and reduced marketing spending.
Grooming
Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with three months ended September 30, 2019
Grooming net sales increased 5% to $1.6 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 5% increase in unit volume. Unfavorable foreign exchange had a negative 2% impact on net sales. Pricing had a positive 2% impact on net sales. Organic sales increased 6%. Global market share of the Grooming segment decreased 1.8 points.
Shave Care net sales decreased low single digits as a low single digit increase in volume, was more than offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts and unfavorable mix impact due to the disproportionate growth of lower priced products in IMEA. Organic sales were unchanged. Volume increased more than 20% in IMEA and increased low single digits in North America and Latin America due to product innovation and increased distribution in certain markets. This was partially offset by mid-single digits decreases in Europe and Asia Pacific primarily due to pandemic-related consumption decline. Global market share of the Shave Care category decreased more than half a point.
Appliances net sales increased more than 40% primarily due to a volume increase of more than 30%. Organic sales increased more than 30%. Volume increased in all regions led by more than a 50% increase in North America, more than a 40% increase in Europe and a high-teens increase in Asia Pacific due to innovation and increased consumption of at-home



grooming and styling products driven by the pandemic. Global market share of the Appliances category increased more than a point.
Net earnings increased 1% to $355 million due to the increase in net sales partially offset by a 90 basis-point decrease in net earnings margin. The net earnings margin declined primarily due to a decrease in gross margin, partially offset by a reduction in SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin decreased due to the negative impact of unfavorable mix (due to the disproportionate growth of IMEA, which has lower than segment average margins) and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased due to productivity savings and the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase, partially offset by a favorable legal settlement in the base period.
Health Care
Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with three months ended September 30, 2019
Health Care net sales increased 11% to $2.5 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 9% increase in unit volume. Unfavorable foreign exchange impacts decreased net sales by 1%. Pricing had a 1% positive impact to net sales for the quarter. Favorable mix increased net sales by 2% due to the disproportionate growth of the North America region and power brush products both of which have higher than segment average selling prices. Organic sales increased 12%. Global market share of the Health Care segment increased 1.4 points.
Oral Care net sales increased mid-teens due to a high single digit increase in volume, favorable mix impacts due to the disproportionate growth of North America and premium power brush products, and increased pricing partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. Organic sales also increased mid-teens. Volume grew in all regions, led by double digits growth in North America and IMEA and high single digits growth in Europe, Greater China and Latin America driven by innovation. Global market share of the Oral Care category increased less than a point.
Personal Health Care net sales increased high single digits versus the prior year period due to a high single digit increase in volume and increased pricing partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. Organic sales also increased high single digits. The volume increase was driven by double digits growth in North America, Europe, IMEA and Latin America and high single digits growth in Asia Pacific, driven by innovation and increased marketing spending. Global market share of the Personal Health Care category increased two points.
Net earnings increased 31% to $525 million, due to the increase in net sales and a 310 basis-points increase in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin increased due to an increase in gross margin, a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales and a gain on a minor brand divestiture in the current period. The increase in gross margin was driven by the positive impacts of manufacturing cost savings and increased pricing, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased primarily due to the positive scale benefits of the net sales increase and a reduction in other operating expenses due to costs related to the Merck OTC consumer healthcare acquisition in the base period.
Fabric & Home Care
Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with three months ended September 30, 2019
Fabric & Home Care net sales increased 14% to $6.6 billion during the first fiscal quarter on an 10% increase in unit volume. Positive mix impacts increased net sales by 4% due to the disproportionate growth of the North America region and the Home Care category, which have higher than segment average prices. Pricing and foreign exchange had no net impact to net sales. Organic sales also increased 14%. Global market share of the Fabric & Home Care segment increased 1.2 points.
Fabric Care net sales increased high single digits due to a high single digit increase in volume and positive mix impact due to the disproportionate growth of premium products and the North America region. Organic sales also increased high single digits. Increased volume was driven by high teens growth in North America, high single digits growth in Latin America, mid-single digits growth in Greater China and low single digits growth in Europe, all due to product innovation and consumption increases in certain markets related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partially offset by a high single digits decline in Asia Pacific, primarily due to the base period increase in retailer inventories prior to a VAT increase in Japan. Global market share of the Fabric Care category increased more than a point.
Home Care net sales increased more than 30%, primarily due to a volume increase of more than 20%, a positive mix impact due to the disproportionate growth of premium products and the North America region and increased pricing. Organic sales also increased more than 30%. Volume increased in all regions led by more than 30% growth in North America, more than 20% growth in Europe, Latin America and IMEA and mid-teens growth in Asia Pacific all due to consumption increases related to the COVID-19 pandemic, product innovation and to a lesser extent, retailer inventory restocking in the U.S. Global market share of the Home Care category increased more than a point.
Net earnings increased 31% to $1.3 billion due to the increase in net sales and a 270 basis-points increase in net earnings margin. The net earnings margin increase was due to an increase in gross margin and a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales. The gross margin increase was driven by manufacturing cost savings and a reduction in commodity costs, partially offset



by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased primarily due to the positive scale benefits of the net sales increase.
Baby, Feminine & Family Care
Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with three months ended September 30, 2019
Baby, Feminine & Family Care net sales increased 3% to $4.7 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 3% increase in unit volume. Unfavorable foreign exchange impacts decreased net sales by 1%. Higher pricing increased net sales by 1%. Mix had no impact to net sales. Organic sales increased 4%. Global market share of the Baby, Feminine & Family Care segment decreased 0.4 points.
Net sales in Baby Care decreased mid-single digits due to a mid-single digit decrease in volume and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. Organic sales decreased low single digits. Volume decreased mid-teens in Latin America (due to market contraction), decreased double digits in Asia Pacific (due primarily to the base period increase in retailer inventories prior to a VAT increase in Japan) and IMEA (due to pandemic-related retailer inventory reductions and market contraction) and decreased high single digits in Greater China (primarily due to competitive activity and consumer pantry destocking). This was partially offset by mid-single digits growth in North America (due to consumption increase in certain products and pandemic-related retailer inventory restocking). Global market share of the Baby Care category decreased less than a point.
Feminine Care net sales increased mid-single digits due to a low single digit increase in volume, increased pricing and positive mix impact due to the disproportionate growth of the North America region and premium products primarily in Greater China, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. Organic sales increased high single digits. Volume increased over 20% in Asia Pacific due to a new launch in the adult incontinence category in Japan. Volume increased high single digits in North America (primarily due to pandemic-related trade inventory increases and innovation) and in IMEA (primarily due to market growth). This was partially offset by a mid-single digits decline in Greater China and a low single digits decline in Europe and Latin America primarily due to the COVID-19 related consumption declines. Global market share of the Feminine Care category increased more than half a point.
Net sales in Family Care, which is predominantly a North American business, increased double digits driven by a double digit increase in volumes and increased pricing driven by lower consumer promotions, partially offset by unfavorable mix impact due to the disproportionate growth of larger pack sizes. Organic sales also increased double digits. The volume increase was driven by COVID-19 related consumption increase and to a lesser extent retailer inventory restocking. North America share of the Family Care category decreased a point.
Net earnings increased 16% to $1.0 billion due to the increase in net sales and a 230 basis-point increase in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin increased primarily due to an increase in gross margin and a marginal decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin increased due to manufacturing cost savings and a reduction in commodity costs, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased marginally due to the positive scale benefits 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 decreased $2 million to $93 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Corporate net earnings improved by $3 million in the quarter as lower restructuring charges versus the base period and lower overheads spending were partially offset by higher interest expense, lower interest income and tax benefits in the base period, all of which have been described above.
Restructuring Program to deliver Productivity and Cost Savings
In 2012, the Company initiated a productivity and cost savings plan to reduce costs and better leverage scale in the areas of supply chain, research and development, marketing and overheads.  The plan was designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes to fund the Company's growth strategy. In 2017, the Company communicated specific elements of an additional multi-year productivity and cost savings program. As part of this plan, which was largely completed by the end of fiscal 2020, the Company incurred $1.5 billion in total before-tax restructuring costs across fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020.



In fiscal 2021 and onwards, the Company expects to incur restructuring costs within the range of our historical ongoing level of $250 to $500 million before tax. In addition to our restructuring programs, we have additional ongoing savings efforts in our supply chain, marketing and overhead areas that have and are expected to continue to yield additional benefits to our operating margins.
Refer to Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on the restructuring program.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities
We generated $4.7 billion of cash from operating activities fiscal year to date, an increase of $570 million 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 $5.2 billion of operating cash flow. Working capital and other impacts used $510 million of cash in the period. Accounts receivable increased, using $825 million of cash, primarily due to sales growth. Days sales outstanding also increased about two days driven by a higher relative amount of sales towards the end of the quarter. Inventory increased, consuming $137 million of cash primarily due to holiday seasonality builds in certain categories and to support business growth. Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities increased, generating $442 million of cash, primarily due to an increase in trade-related payables and accruals (approximately $650 million to support business growth and to a lesser extent, extended payment terms to suppliers) and increased taxes payable caused by growth in earnings and the timing of estimated payments (approximately $440 million), partially offset by the payment of prior fiscal year-end incentive compensation and other salary-related accruals.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used $829 million of cash fiscal year to date primarily due to capital expenditures of $850 million.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities used $6.7 billion of net cash fiscal year to date. We used $2.0 billion for treasury stock purchases, $2.0 billion for dividends and $3.6 billion related to the reduction of short-term debt due primarily to the maturity of commercial paper. The exercise of stock options and other impacts generated $893 million of cash.
As of September 30, 2020, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4.0 billion. We have short- and long-term debt to meet our financing needs. Subsequent to September 30, 2020 the Company announced a plan to early retire approximately $2.3 billion of outstanding debt securities. The execution of the program is expected to be completed during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and the cash outlay would be funded through a combination of existing liquidity and potentially new debt financing. 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 measures. We believe that these measures provide useful perspective on underlying business results and trends (i.e., trends excluding non-recurring or unusual items) and provide a supplemental measure of year-on-year results. The non-GAAP measures described below are used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. These measures may be useful to investors as they provide supplemental information about business performance and provide investors a view of our business results through the eyes of management. These measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered by the user in place of the related GAAP measure, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items or events being adjusted.
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. 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 adjusted as indicated. 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 items:
Incremental Restructuring: The Company has historically had an ongoing level of restructuring activities. Such activities have resulted in ongoing annual restructuring related charges of approximately $250 - $500 million before tax. Since 2012, the Company has had a strategic productivity and cost savings initiative that resulted in incremental restructuring charges. The adjustment to Core earnings includes only the restructuring costs above what we believe are the normal recurring level of restructuring costs. In fiscal 2021 and onwards, the Company expects to incur restructuring costs within our historical ongoing level.
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.

Exhibit (10-1)
Summary of the Company’s Short Term Achievement Reward Program




SHORT TERM ACHIEVEMENT REWARD PROGRAM
(Effective July 1, 2020)

The Short-Term Achievement Reward (“STAR”) Program is The Procter & Gamble Company’s (the “Company”) annual bonus program designed to motivate and reward employees for achieving outstanding short-term business results for the Company and its subsidiaries. STAR awards are made pursuant to authority delegated to the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee (the “C&LD Committee”) by the Board of Directors for awarding compensation to the Company’s principal officers and for making awards under the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”) or any successor stock plan approved in accordance with applicable listing standards.

I. ELIGIBILITY

Employees at Band 2 or above and who worked at least 28 days (four calendar weeks) during the applicable fiscal year are eligible to participate. Eligible employees who do not work a full schedule (e.g., leaves of absence, disability, and less-than-full time schedules) in the fiscal year in which the award is payable may have awards pro-rated.

II. CALCULATION

The individual STAR Award is calculated as follows:

(STAR Target) x [ (Business Unit Performance Factor x 70% weighting) + (Total Company Performance Factor X 30% weighting) ]

The STAR Target for each participant is calculated as:

(Base Salary) x (STAR Target percent) where Base Salary at the end of the applicable fiscal year is used to calculate the STAR award; except in cases where an employee becomes ineligible for the program during the performance period, in which case base salary as of the end of the STAR eligible level will be used. Generally, the STAR Target Percent is dependent on the individual’s position and level (Band) in the organization. The STAR Target percent for participants at Band 7 or above is set by the C&LD Committee. The STAR Target percent for all other participants is set by the Chief Executive Officer, with the concurrence of the Chief Human Resources Officer, pursuant to authority delegated to them by the C&LD Committee. If an individual’s position and/or level changes during a fiscal year, and that change results in a new STAR Target Percent, the STAR Target Percent is pro-rated according to the amount of time in each position/level during the fiscal year.

The Business Unit Performance Factor is weighted at 70% and is based on the fiscal year success for the appropriate STAR business unit. The STAR business units are defined by the Chief Human Resources Officer and may consist of business categories, segments, geographies, functions, organizations or a combination of one or more of these items. The STAR business units will be defined within ninety (90) days of the beginning of the fiscal year but may be adjusted as necessary to reflect business and/or organizational changes (e.g., reorganization, acquisition, merger, divestiture, etc.). The Business Unit Performance Factors can range from 0% to 200% with a target of 100%. In general, a committee consisting of at least two of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer and/or the Chief Operating Officer (the



“STAR Committee”), conducts a comprehensive retrospective assessment of the fiscal year performance of each STAR business unit against previously established goals and relative to competition for one or more of the following measures: Operating Total Shareholder Return, After Tax Profit, Free Cash Flow Productivity, Value Share, Organic Sales, Internal controls, Accounts receivable, Inventory, Organization Head Self-Assessment, and Cross Organization Assessment. The STAR Committee makes a recommendation of an appropriate Business Unit Performance Factor to the C&LD Committee. There may also be other factors significantly affecting STAR business unit results positively or negatively which can be considered by the STAR Committee when making its recommendation. No member of the STAR Committee makes any recommendation or determination as to their own STAR award. As a result, there are certain instances in which a Business Unit Performance Factor recommendation to the C&LD Committee must be made exclusively by the Chief Executive Officer.

Business Unit leaders may then allocate the approved STAR Business Unit Factors among the divisions of the Business Unit to more closely align the STAR award with performance, so long as the total expenditure does not exceed that approved by the STAR Committee and no individual STAR award exceeds 200% of target.

The Total Company Performance Factor is weighted at 30% and is based on the total Company’s success during the fiscal year and ranges from 0% to 200%, with a target of 100%. The same Total Company Performance Factor is applied to all STAR award calculations, regardless of STAR business unit. It is determined using a matrix which compares results against pre-established goals for fiscal year organic sales growth and core earnings per share (“EPS”) growth for the fiscal year.

While the STAR Committee makes recommendations to the C&LD Committee regarding the Business Unit and Total Company performance factors to be applied to all STAR awards (except those for the STAR Committee members), only the final award amounts for principal officers are approved specifically by the C&LD Committee. The C&LD Committee has delegated the approval of STAR awards for other participants to the Chief Executive Officer. The C&LD Committee has discretion to use, increase or decrease the performance factors recommended by the STAR Committee and/or to choose not to pay STAR awards during a given year.

III. TIMING AND FORM

STAR awards are determined after the close of the fiscal year and are paid on or about September 15. The award form choices and relevant considerations are explained to participants annually. Participants receive written notice of their award detailing the calculation and grant letters for those employees who elect to receive awards in stock options

Generally, STAR awards are paid in cash. However, before the end of the calendar year preceding the award date, eligible participants can elect to receive their STAR award in forms other than cash. Alternatives to cash include stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), local deferral programs (depending on local regulations in some countries) and/or deferred compensation (for employees eligible to participate in the Executive Deferred Compensation Program). The number of stock options or SARs awarded to each employee will be determined on grant date by determining the USD value of the award chosen by the employee to be paid in stock options and dividing that value by the grant date GAAP expense of one stock option. The result will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Any STAR award paid in stock options or other form of equity shall be awarded pursuant to this program and the terms and conditions of



the 2019 Plan or any successor stock plan approved in accordance with applicable listing standards, as they may be revised from time to time. STAR awards paid in stock options or SARs will have the following terms unless otherwise approved by the C&LD Committee at grant:

Grant date will be the last business day on or before September 15. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on the day of the grant, then the C&LD Committee will establish a grant date as soon as practical following the date previously specified. Provided participants remain in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the currently active Stock Plan and the Regulations, STAR stock options and SARs are not forfeitable, will become exercisable three years after the grant date, and will expire ten years after the grant date. In the event of death of the participant, the award becomes exercisable as of the date of death and the award remains exercisable until the Expiration Date. For awards granted in France or the United Kingdom, the consequences of death are determined by the local plan supplement, if applicable.
The option price used for any STAR Award will be the closing price for a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the grant date, or such higher price as may be specified in the French Addendum of the Regulations (the “Grant Price”).

IV. SEPARATION FROM THE COMPANY

Retirement, Death or Special Separation with a Separation Package: If a participant worked at least 28 days (4 calendar weeks) during the fiscal year, the STAR award is pro-rated by dividing the number of calendar days the participant was an “active employee” during the fiscal year by 365.

Voluntary Resignation or Termination for cause: Separating employees must have been active employees as of June 30 or the last business day in June (the close of the fiscal year for which the award is payable) to receive an award.

Separation due to a Company authorized divestiture: In the case of divestitures the CHRO is authorized to determine the appropriate STAR payout based on Business Unit factors either at Target or at projected or actual business results. The CHRO is also authorized to pay awards for the current or following partial fiscal year at time of divestiture close for administrative convenience.

Eligible participants who have left the Company will receive a cash payment (stock options can only be issued to active employees) on the same timing as STAR awards or as soon thereafter as possible.

V. CHANGE IN CONTROL

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control in any fiscal year, STAR awards will be calculated in accordance with Section II above, but each factor will be calculated for the period from the beginning of the fiscal year in which a Change in Control occurred up to and including the date of such Change in Control (“CIC Period”). “Change in Control” shall have the same meaning as defined in the 2019 Plan or any successor stock plan.

VI. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

While any STAR award amount received by one individual for any year shall be considered as earned remuneration in addition to salary paid, it shall be understood that this plan does not give to any officer or employee any contract rights, express or implied, against any Company for any



STAR award or for compensation in addition to the salary paid to him or her, or any right to question the action of the Board of Directors or the C&LD or STAR Committees.

The Chief Human Resources Officer or the Chief Legal Officer may withhold a STAR award for a separated employee who is discovered to have engaged in serious misconduct or actions detrimental to the Company’s interests.

Each award to an individual at Band 7 and above, made pursuant to this plan, is subject to the Senior Executive Recoupment Policy as amended by the C&LD Committee in April 2018.

To the extent applicable, it is intended that STAR comply with the provisions of Section 409A. STAR will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under STAR to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to a Participant under STAR may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company.

This program document may be amended at any time by the C&LD Committee.

Exhibit (10-3)
Summary of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Program




LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM SUMMARY
(Effective July 1, 2020)

The Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTI Program”) is part of The Procter & Gamble Company’s (the “Company”) long-term incentive compensation and is designed to increase employee ownership and focus employees on the long-term success of the Company. Awards granted under the LTI Program (“LTI Awards”) are made pursuant to authority delegated to the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee (the “Committee”) by the Board of Directors for determining compensation for the Company’s principal officers and for making awards under The Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”) or any successor stock plan approved in accordance with applicable listing standards.

I. ELIGIBILITY
Active employees at Band 4 and above as of June 1 prior to grant date are included in the Plan, as well as a select percent of Band 3 employees. In special circumstances such as for acquisitions or experienced hires, the CHRO may authorize grants for employees who are not active as of June 1 but are employees as of the grant date. Employees recommended by management and approved by the Committee or Committee’s delegate are eligible to participate (“Participants”).

II. OVERVIEW
The LTI Program motivates leaders to achieve results in the long term by driving ownership behavior through the awarding of stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), and restricted stock units (RSUs). Participants at Band 4 and above may be provided a choice of a mix of stock options and RSUs, except for the CEO, whose grant form is solely determined by the Committee. The choice must be made before the end of the calendar year preceding the award date. Band 3 participants receive awards in the form of stock options, RSUs, or a mix as authorized by the CEO prior to grant date. Exceptions may exist in some countries where stock options and/or RSUs are not locally allowed or effective as a compensation vehicle.

III. AWARD DETERMINATION
Market target grant values by Job Band are based on competitive market data from peer companies and analysis of global long-term incentive practices.
CEO – The market analysis is reviewed and a final award value for the CEO is determined solely by the Committee.
Principal Officers – Market target grant values for Principal Officers are authorized by the Committee. Final awards for Principal Officers are recommended by the CEO and approved directly by the Committee.
Band 4-6 – The CEO authorizes market target grant values by band below Band 7. Individual employee award targets are determined based on the employee’s home country and job band. The final award values for Band 4-6 may be further adjusted by Business Unit leaders for individual performance. Final award amounts for employees Band 4-6 are approved by the CEO as delegated by the Committee. Awards for low performers are reduced or eliminated.
Band 3 – The CEO authorizes market grant values, award mix, and participation rates at Band 3. The Business Unit leaders select the Band 3 participants within their organizations. The final award values for Band 3 are set based on home country and approved by the CEO as authorized by the Committee.




The number of stock options or SARs awarded to each employee will be determined on grant date using the same methodology by which the Company expenses stock options. The number of RSUs awarded will be determined based on the price of P&G stock on grant date.
The option price or grant price used for any LTI Award will be the closing price for a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day of the grant, or such higher price as may be specified in the French Addendum of the Regulations (the “Grant Price”). If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on the day of the grant, then the date of the Award will be the first day of trading of the Company’s stock subsequent to the date previously specified for such award.
LTI Awards will be granted on the first business day of October each year. Employees who did not receive the appropriate award on this date due to an administrative or data error will receive their appropriate LTI Award on the last business day prior to December 10 each year.
If applicable, Participants must accept their awards according to the terms of the Award Letter or the Award will not be granted.

IV. VESTING AND SETTLEMENT
Stock options and SARs vest three years following the grant date. They expire ten years after the grant date. RSUs have a vest date and settlement date three years following the grant date, are eligible for dividend equivalents, and cannot be deferred in accordance with Internal Revenue Code 409A unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant.

V. SEPARATION FROM THE COMPANY (Defined terms shall have the meaning designated in the 2019 Plan or related award documents)
If the Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs for any reason before the Expiration Date and prior to exercising the Award for stock options and SARs, or before the Vest Date for RSUs, then the Award will be forfeited unless one of the conditions listed below is met. For the purposes of this Award, termination of employment will be effective as of the date the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period required under local law. Participants must remain in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the 2019 Plan, including those in Article 6.
1. Termination on Account of Death. In the event of death, the Award will be immediately and fully vested and exercisable for stock options and SARS (award terms for France and UK are defined in the country supplement). For RSUs payment will be made by the later of the end of the calendar year or two and a half months following the date of death.
2. Termination for a Qualified Reason Listed Below. In the event the Participant terminates employment for one of the qualified reasons listed below, after the Grant Date but within four weeks, the Award will be forfeited. In the event of termination for one of the qualified reasons listed below, on or after four weeks following the Grant Date, but prior to September 30 of the following year, the award will be prorated based on the number of days the Participant remained an employee between the Grant Date and September 30 of the following year. If the termination for one of the qualified reasons listed below occurs after September 30 of the following year, the entire award will be retained. The portion of the award that is ultimately retained will be delivered on the Settlement Date in this Award Agreement as long as the Participant remain in compliance with the terms of the Plan and the Regulations. Qualified termination reasons are as follows:
Retirement or Disability;
Termination pursuant to a written separation agreement from the Company or a subsidiary that provides for equity retention; or



Termination in connection with a divestiture or separation of any of the Company’s businesses.

VI. CHANGE IN CONTROL
If there is a Change in Control, the provisions of Article 17 of the 2019 Plan will apply.

VII. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
It shall be understood that the LTI Program does not give to any employee any contract rights, express or implied, against the Company for any LTI Award, or for compensation in addition to the salary paid to him or her.
This program document may be amended at any time by the Committee.

The Procter & Gamble Performance Stock Program Summary



PERFORMANCE STOCK PROGRAM SUMMARY
(Effective July 1, 2020)

The Performance Stock Program (“PSP”) is a part of The Procter & Gamble Company’s (the “Company”) long-term incentive (“LTI”) compensation and is designed to provide additional focus on key Company measures for top executives with senior management responsibility for total Company results. Awards granted under the PSP (“PSP Awards”) are made pursuant to authority delegated to the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee (the “C&LD Committee”) by the Board of Directors for determining compensation for the Company’s principal officers and for making awards under the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2019 Plan”) or any successor stock plan approved in accordance with applicable listing standards.

I. ELIGIBILITY

The Chairman of the Board and/or Chief Executive Officer and those active executives at Band 6 or above as of June 1 prior to the grant date and recommended by management are eligible to participate (“Participants”). In special circumstances such as for acquisitions or experienced hires, the CHRO may authorize participation for Band 6 or above employees who are not active as of June 1 but are active employees as of the grant date.


II. OVERVIEW

A significant portion of the Band 6 and above compensation is delivered through two long-term incentive programs tied to Company performance: PSP and the Long-term Incentive Program.
Total long-term incentive compensation targets are based on relevant competitive market data considering the median total long-term compensation of comparable positions, regressed for revenue size. The C&LD Committee establishes the Peer Group and sets compensation targets for all Principal Officers including the CEO. The CEO approves compensation targets for non-Principal Officers (generally Band 6 managers).

The C&LD Committee determines the long-term incentive award for the CEO. The CEO recommends all other Principal Officer awards to the C&LD Committee based on benchmarked long-term compensation targets, adjusted for business results and individual contributions attributable to each executive and including that individual’s leadership skills. The C&LD Committee retains full authority to accept, modify, or reject these recommendations. The CEO approves awards for participants who are not Principal Officers based on long-term compensation targets, business results and individual contributions. Long-term incentive awards can be up to 50% above or 50% below the benchmarked target. In exceptional cases, no award will be made. After total LTI award size is determined then approximately half of each Band 7 manager’s long-term compensation is allocated to PSP via an Initial PSU Grant (as defined below). The remaining portion is a Long-term Incentive Program Grant. Approximately 25% of each Band 6 manager’s total LTI is allocated to PSP with the remainder awarded under the Long-term Incentive Program.

PSP rewards Participants for Company performance against certain three-year performance goals in categories established by the C&LD Committee. The C&LD Committee sets these performance goals for each three-year period that begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 three years later (“Performance Period”). In the first year of each Performance Period, the C&LD Committee grants Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) to Participants that will vest at the end of the Performance Period based on the Company’s performance relative to the pre-established performance goals (“Initial PSU Grant”). The number of PSUs that vest at the end of the Performance Period depends on the Company’s performance against the pre-established performance goals. Vested PSUs, including dividend equivalents, are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) delivered to the applicable Participant within 60 days following the end of the Performance Period, or such later date as may be elected by the Participant in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”).




III. PERFORMANCE CATEGORIES

The PSP Award is based on the Company’s performance in each of the following categories (each a “Performance Category”) and weighted as indicated:

· Organic sales growth (percentile rank in the competitive peer group)* – 30%
· Constant currency core before-tax operating profit growth – 20%
· Core earnings per share (EPS) growth – 30%
· Adjusted free cash flow productivity – 20%

Awards will be further adjusted based on the three-year relative total shareholder return (R-TSR) of P&G compared to the competitive peer group*. Awards will be adjusted for top quartile performance using a 125% multiplier to increase awards, and reduced for bottom quartile performance using a 75% multiplier.
* Competitive peer group is defined in the PSP Accounting Guidelines.

Within the first 90 days of each Performance Period, the C&LD Committee sets three-year performance goals (“Performance Goals”) for each Performance Category for such Performance Period and establishes a sliding scale to measure the Company’s performance against each Performance Goal in each Performance Category. The C&LD Committee uses the sliding scale to establish a payout factor between 0% and 200% for each Performance Category (a “Sales Factor”, “Profit Factor”, “EPS Factor” and “Cash Flow Factor”, collectively, “Performance Factors”). The final aggregated payout factor (including the R-TSR multiplier) may not exceed 200%.

In all cases, the C&LD Committee retains the discretion to include or exclude certain of the Performance Categories for purposes of determining the PSP Award. The C&LD Committee may reduce or eliminate any payment if it determines that such payout is inconsistent with long-term shareholders’ interests or incongruous with the overall performance of the company.

PSP awards will have the following terms unless otherwise approved by the C&LD Committee:

IV. THE INITIAL PSU GRANT

The C&LD Committee has the sole discretion to establish the target award (“PSP Target”) for each Participant serving as a Principal Officer. The CEO establishes the PSP Targets for participants who are not Principal Officers. The PSP Target will be a cash amount and will be the basis for the Initial PSU Grant. The C&LD Committee will make the Initial PSU Grant on the first business day in October (“Grant Date”) following the beginning of each Performance Period. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on the day of the grant, then the C&LD will establish a grant date as soon as practical subsequent to the date previously specified for such award. The Initial PSU Grant will set forth a target and maximum number of PSUs. The target number of PSUs will be determined by dividing the PSP Target by the closing price (“Grant Price”) of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of the close of business on the Grant Date, rounding to the nearest whole unit.



V. PSU VESTING AND PAYMENT

After the Performance Period is complete, the C&LD Committee will establish the Payout Factors for each of the Performance Categories based on the Company’s results versus the pre-established Performance Goals. The number of PSUs that vest will be determined by multiplying the Performance Factors by their respective weightings, summing up the results, then applying the R-TSR multiplier if applicable. The final result will be rounded up or down to the nearest full percentage. The resulting percentage will be applied to the number of PSUs in the Initial PSU Grant target, including dividends that would have accumulated since the initial PSU grant on the vested units. Any resulting fractional share units may be paid as cash, fractional shares, or rounded up to the next full share based on administrative preference of the Company. The number of PSUs that vest may be equal to, above or below the Initial PSU Grant target



depending on the Company’s performance in the Performance Categories, but in no event more than the Initial PSU Grant maximum. Vested PSUs are converted into shares of Common Stock delivered to the applicable Participant within 60 days following the end of the Performance Period, or such later date as may be elected by the Participant if applicable and in accordance with Section 409A.

Participants at Band 7 and above may elect to defer delivery of the Common Stock by electing to receive Restricted Stock Units. PSP RSUs will have the following terms unless otherwise approved by the Committee at grant:

VESTING AND SETTLEMENT: PSP RSUs will be vested on the grant date with a settlement date at least one year following the original PSU delivery date (as elected by the Participant), are eligible for dividend equivalents, and can be further deferred in accordance with Section 409A. These RSUs will be paid on their Original Settlement Date or the Agreed Settlement Date, except in the case of death. In the case of death (except in France and the UK), payment will be made by the later of the end of the calendar year or two and a half months following the date of death. For awards granted in France or the UK, the consequences of death are determined by the local plan supplement, if applicable.

VI. SEPARATION FROM THE COMPANY (Defined terms shall have the meaning designated in the 2019 Plan or related award documents)
If the Participant’s Termination of Employment occurs for any reason before the Vest Date then the Award will be forfeited unless one of the conditions listed below is met. If the Participant remains employed through the Vest Date, the Award will paid on the Settlement Date. For the purposes of this Award, termination of employment will be effective as of the date the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period required under local law. Participants must remain in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the 2019 Plan, including those in Article 6.

1. Termination on Account of Death. In the event of death, the Award is not forfeited and will become deliverable on the Settlement Date or Agreed Settlement Date, whichever is applicable.

2. Termination for a Qualified Reason Listed Below. In the event the Participant terminates employment for one of the qualified reasons listed below, after the Grant Date but within four weeks, the Award will be forfeited. In the event of termination for one of the qualified reasons listed below, on or after four weeks following the Grant Date, but prior to September 30 of the following year, the award will be prorated based on the number of days the Participant remained an employee between the Grant Date and September 30 of the following year. If the termination for one of the qualified reasons listed below occurs after September 30 of the following year, the entire award will be retained. The portion of the award that is ultimately retained will be delivered on the Settlement Date in this Award Agreement as long as the Participant remain in compliance with the terms of the Plan and the Regulations. Qualified termination reasons are as follows:

Retirement or Disability;
Termination pursuant to a written separation agreement from the Company or a subsidiary that provides for equity retention; or
Termination in connection with a divestiture or separation of any of the Company’s businesses.



VII. CHANGE IN CONTROL

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control that meets the requirements of a change in control event under Section 409A, all outstanding PSP Awards will vest at 100% of the Initial PSU Grant target (or 100% of the PSP Target if the Change in Control occurs prior to the Initial PSU Grant) including dividends that would have accumulated since the initial PSU grant on the vested units, and shall be paid in shares of Common Stock at the time of such Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control event that does not meet the requirements of a change in control event under Section 409A, all outstanding PSP Awards will be settled according to the terms and conditions set forth herein, without the application



Article 17 of the 2019 Plan. “Change in Control” shall have the same meaning as defined in the 2019 Plan or any successor stock plan approved in accordance with applicable listing standards.

VIII. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

It shall be understood that the PSP does not give to any officer or employee any contract rights, express or implied, against any Company for any PSP Award, or for compensation in addition to the salary paid to him or her, or any right to question the action of the Board of Directors or the C&LD Committee.

Each PSP Award made to an individual at Band 7 and above is subject to the Senior Executive Recoupment Policy adopted by the C&LD Committee in December 2006.

To the extent applicable, it is intended that the PSP comply with the provisions of Section 409A. The PSP will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent. Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable under the PSP to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to a Participant under the PSP may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company.

This program document may be amended at any time by the C&LD Committee

The following describes the terms under which you are separating from employment. Your receipt of the benefits described below is conditioned upon your accepting and abiding by the terms of this Agreement.

Last Day of Employment:
Your last day of employment will be «Exit_Date», referred to as your “Last Day of Employment.” You understand and agree that if P&G determines that you engaged in misconduct during your employment, or if you fail to perform your work and responsibilities in a satisfactory manner up to and including your Last Day of Employment, P&G may terminate your employment immediately and will not provide, nor be obligated to provide, the payment(s) and other benefits described in this Agreement. Otherwise, unless noted below, your pay and benefits will cease as of your Last Day of Employment.

If you are not fully-vested in the Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“PST”) as of your Last Day of Employment, as soon as administratively practical after your Last Day of Employment, but no later than the March 15th of the year following the year which includes your Last Day of Employment, you will receive a lump sum payment in an amount substantially equivalent to the non-vested credits in your account in the PST.
STAR Awards:
As of your Last Day of Employment, if you worked at least 28 days (4 calendar weeks) during that fiscal year, you will receive a pro-rated STAR award for that fiscal year. Your STAR award will be pro-rated by dividing the number of calendar days during the fiscal year from July 1 through your Last Day of Employment by 365. Your STAR award will be paid in cash in the September (but no later than September 15th) immediately following the end of the fiscal year in which you terminate.

You will also retain awards granted under the Procter & Gamble 2014 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan and the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan subject to the terms and conditions of those Awards. For awards granted on or after October 1, 2020, awards will be prorated based on the number of days worked in the 12 months following the October 1 grant date, with a minimum of 28 days worked beyond October 1.

This agreement does not alter the rights and obligations that you may have under the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the Procter & Gamble 2014 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the Procter & Gamble 2009 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the Procter & Gamble 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the Procter & Gamble 1992 Stock Plan, and the Gillette Company 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Note: Any life insurance coverage other than company-paid life insurance coverage will not continue during this time.

When your extended coverage ends, you may be entitled to continue your Medical and Dental insurance coverage under COBRA. If you are entitled to COBRA continuation coverage, you will receive a notice of your right to elect COBRA.
Retiree Medical and Dental Benefits:
If you were eligible for P&G retiree healthcare coverage on your Last Day of Employment, you will be eligible to enroll in P&G’s retiree medical and dental insurance coverage. You are eligible for P&G retiree healthcare coverage if you satisfy the regular retiree eligibility rules (i.e., you are a Regular Retiree) as of your Last Day of Employment. Under the terms of this Agreement, you also are eligible for P&G retiree healthcare coverage as a Special Retiree by satisfying the Rule of 70 as of your Last Day of Employment. You satisfy the Rule of 70 when your full years of age plus your full years of service equal 70.[1] If you are eligible for P&G’s retiree healthcare coverage as either a Regular Retiree or a Special Retiree as of your Last Day of Employment, you should contact P&G Employee Care before your extension of coverage ends to request retiree healthcare enrollment information. For details regarding the terms and conditions of your retiree health coverage, please refer to and review the summary plan descriptions, available at PGOneàLife and Ca
Important Note: If you become employed by a direct competitor of P&G (as determined by P&G’s Chief Human Resources Officer) in any capacity, you will not be eligible for coverage under P&G’s retiree healthcare coverage as long as you remain employed by such competitor. If you have questions, please contact the P&G Employee Care at [phone number].

Outplacement Services:
P&G’s outplacement supplier, Right Management Consultants, will provide services to assist you in managing your transition to a new future, based on your interest. Services include pre-decision counseling, career transition programs, and job development opportunities. Right Management Consultants will also assist you in preparing for your job search, including résumé preparation, cover letters, other written materials and interview and networking training.

Note that you must begin utilizing outplacement services within 45 days of your Last Day of Employment to be eligible for this benefit.

No Consideration Without Executing this Agreement:
You affirm that you understand and agree that you would not receive the separation payment and/or benefits specified in this Agreement without executing this Agreement and fulfilling the promises contained in it. Except as provided in this Agreement or under the terms and conditions of an applicable benefit plan or policy sponsored by P&G, you shall not be due any payments or benefits from P&G in connection with the termination of your employment.
Continued Employment Through Your Last Day of Employment:
You agree to perform your work and responsibilities as an employee in a satisfactory manner up to and including your Last Day of Employment, including compliance with all provisions of this “Separation Agreement and Release.” If P&G determines that you have engaged in serious misconduct during your employment, you understand and agree that P&G may terminate your employment immediately and will not provide, nor will it be obligated to provide, you with the Separation Payment, medical benefits, outplacement and other benefits described above. If you have already received any such pay or benefits, you agree to repay them to P&G upon demand.

Nonadmission of Wrongdoing:
You affirm that you understand and agree that neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement, including the Separation Payment, shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission by P&G of wrongdoing or evidence of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind.






















Release of Claims – Including Age Discrimination and Employment Claims:
In consideration of the Separation Payment and other benefits provided above to which you would not have been entitled under any existing P&G Policy, you release P&G from any and all claims you have against P&G. The term “P&G” includes «Company» and any of its present, former and future owners, parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, and its and their directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, servants, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns and their employee benefit plans and programs and their administrators and fiduciaries.

This release applies to claims about which you now know or may later discover, and includes but is not limited to: (1) claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq.; (2) claims arising out of or relating in any way to your employment with P&G or the conclusion of that employment; (3) claims arising under any federal, state and local employment discrimination laws, regulations or ordinances or other orders that relate to the employment relationship and/or employee benefits; and (4) any other federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or ordinance, public policy, contract, tort or common law.
This release does not apply to claims that may arise after the date you accept this Agreement or that may not be released under applicable law.
If any claim is not subject to release, to the extent permitted by law, you agree that you waive any right or ability to be a class or collective action representative or to otherwise participate in any putative or certified class, collective or multi-party action or proceeding based on such a claim in which P&G is a party.

Governmental Agencies: Nothing in this Separation Letter & Release prohibits or prevents you from filing a charge with or participating, testifying, or assisting in any investigation, hearing, or other proceeding before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or a similar agency enforcing federal, state or local anti-discrimination laws. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that if such an administrative claim is made to such an anti-discrimination agency, you shall not be entitled to recover any individual monetary relief or other individual remedies. Nothing in this Separation Letter & Release, including but not limited to the “Release of Claims – Including Age Discrimination and Employment Claims” and the “Confidential, Proprietary, Trade Secret Information & Period of Non-Competition” sections of this Separation Letter & Release, prohibits you from: (1) reporting possible violations of federal law or regulations, including any possible securities laws violations, to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Congress, or any agency Inspector General; (2) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulations; or (3) otherwise fully participating in any federal whistleblower programs, including but not limited to any such programs managed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. You understand you do not need the prior authorization from the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and you are not required to notify the Company that you have made such reports or disclosures. Moreover, nothing in this Separation Letter & Release prohibits or prevents you from receiving individual monetary awards or other individual relief by virtue of participating in such federal whistleblower programs.








Confidential, Proprietary, Trade Secret Information & Period of Non-Competition:
Subject to the “Governmental Agencies” portion of the “Release of Claims – Including Age Discrimination and Employment Claims” above, you agree that you will not use or share any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information about any aspect of P&G’s business with any non-P&G employee or business entity at any time in the future. You further agree that you will not obtain, transfer or have in your possession any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information on or after your last day of employment, even information you may have created yourself or to which you may have contributed as a P&G employee. Confidential, proprietary or trade secret information includes, but is not limited to, marketing and advertising plans, pricing information, upstream plans, specific areas of research and development, project work, product formulation, processing methods, assignments of individual employees, testing and evaluation procedures, cost figures, construction plans, and special techniques or methods of any kind.

Notwithstanding the requirements of confidentiality contained in this section, the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 immunizes you against criminal and civil liability under federal or state trade secret laws for your disclosure of trade secrets that is made i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; or iii) to your attorney for use in a lawsuit alleging retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, provided that any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and you do not otherwise disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

You further understand and agree that, unless you have prior written consent from P&G, you will not engage in any activity or provide any services for a period of three (3) years following your Last Day of Employment in connection with the manufacture, development, advertising, promotion or sale of any product which is the same as, similar to, or competitive with any products of P&G or its subsidiaries (including both existing products as well as products in development which are known to you, as a consequence of your employment with P&G):

1.With respect to which your work has been directly concerned at any time during the two (2) years preceding your Last Day of Employment; or

2.With respect to which during that period of time you, as a consequence of your job performance and duties, acquired knowledge of trade secrets or other confidential information of P&G.

e or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it will be modified and interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area so that it may be enforceable.
As a participant in the 2009 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 1992 Stock Plan, you are also bound by the terms of Article F – Restrictions & Covenants of those plans, which are incorporated herein by reference.
If you are a participant in the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan and the Procter & Gamble 2014 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, you are also bound by the terms of Article 6 – Restrictions and Covenants of this plan which are incorporated herein by reference.



For the purposes of this section, it shall be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge or information to which you were directly exposed through the actual receipt of memos or documents containing such information or through actual attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed. The provisions of this section are not in lieu of, but are in addition to, your continuing obligation to not use or disclose P&G’s trade secrets and confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). Information regarding products in development, in test market or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information P&G is considering for a broader use, shall not be deemed generally known until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. Also, “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities outside of the United States, the appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry.

If any restriction in this section is found by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it will be modified and interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area so that it may be enforceable.

As a participant in the 2009 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 1992 Stock Plan, you are also bound by the terms of Article F – Restrictions & Covenants of those plans, which are incorporated herein by reference.

If you are a participant in the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan and the Procter & Gamble 2014 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, you are also bound by the terms of Article 6 – Restrictions and Covenants of this plan which are incorporated herein by reference.
Non-Solicitation
You acknowledge, as a participant in the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the Procter & Gamble 2014 Stock & Incentive Compensation Plan, the Procter & Gamble 2009 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the Procter & Gamble 2001 Stock and Incentive Plan, the Procter & Gamble 1992 Stock Plan, and/or the Gillette Company 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan that you are bound to comply with the Plans’ non-solicitation obligations. Specifically, you agree that you will not, at any time following your Employment Separation Date, attempt to directly or indirectly induce any employee of P&G or its affiliates or subsidiaries to be employed or perform services elsewhere or attempt directly or indirectly to solicit the trade or business of any current or prospective customer, supplier or partner of P&G or its affiliates or subsidiarie


















Acknowledgements and Affirmations:
Subject to the “Governmental Agencies” portion of the “Release of Claims – Including Age Discrimination and Employment Claims” above, you affirm that you have not filed, caused to be filed, or presently are a party to any claim against P&G.
You affirm that you have been paid and/or have received all compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits which are due and payable as of the date you sign this Agreement. To the extent that you are required to report hours worked, you affirm that you have reported all hours worked as of the date you sign this Agreement.
You affirm that you have been granted any leave to which you were entitled under the Family and Medical Leave Act or related state or local leave or disability accommodation laws.
You further affirm that you have no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases that have not been reported.

Assignment of Intellectual Property:
You will promptly and fully disclose, transfer and assign to P&G all inventions and any other intellectual property (collectively “Intellectual Property”) made or conceived by you during your employment with P&G. You agree to fully cooperate in executing any papers required for establishing or protecting the Intellectual Property and for establishing P&G’s ownership, even if such cooperation is necessary after your Last Day of Employment

Return of P&G Property:
You agree that on or before your Last Day of Employment, you will return to P&G in good condition all of its equipment, materials and information that were in your possession, custody or control (including, but not limited to, computers, files, documents, credit cards, keys and identification badges). You further agree that you will provide your manager with all passwords to P&G electronic communication and data systems before your Last Day of Employment. You further agree that on or before your Last Day of Employment, you will return or if directed to do so by your immediate manager, delete (i.e., destroy all copies of) any and all P&G confidential, proprietary or trade secret information you have maintained in your possession, custody, or control in paper, electronic and/or digital formats, including but not limited to, any such confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information (e.g., files, documents, etc.) that you may have electronically or digitally processed or stored on P&G-issued or on personally-owned or maintained digital devices and/or service accounts. Such digital devices and/or service accounts may include, but are not limited to desktop and laptop computers, notebooks, tablets, iPads, mobile phones, smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), USB and flash drives, external hard drives, CDs, DVDs, and/or external file processing or storage provided by cloud service providers such as box.net, dropbox, Google docs, etc.

Ethics Compliance:
Subject to the “Governmental Agencies” portion of the “Release of Claims – Including Age Discrimination and Employment Claims” above, you agree that you provided P&G all information known to you regarding any violations of the Procter & Gamble Worldwide Business Conduct Manual and/or any other violations of P&G policy or the law.













Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes:
Resolving any future differences we may have in the courts can take a long time and be expensive. You and P&G therefore agree that the only remedy for all disputes that are not released by this Agreement or that arise out of your employment with or separation from P&G, or any aspect of this Agreement, will be to submit any such disputes (with the exception noted at the end of this section) to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the National Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
You and P&G agree that the aggrieved party must send written notice of any claim to the other party by certified mail, return receipt requested. Written notice for P&G will be sent to: Secretary, One Procter & Gamble Plaza, Cincinnati, OH 45202, and to you at the most current address shown for you in P&G’s records. The arbitrator will apply Ohio law. At your written request, P&G will reimburse you for all fees and costs charged by the American Arbitration Association and its arbitrator to the extent they exceed the applicable fees and costs that would have been charged by a court of competent jurisdiction had your claim been filed in court.
There is one exception to this section. P&G may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction if it has reason to believe that you have violated or are about to violate (1) the terms of the “Confidential, Proprietary, Trade Secret Information & Period of Non-Competition” section above, or (2) if you are a participant in the 2009 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 1992 Stock Plan, the terms of Article F – Restrictions & Covenants of those plans or (3) if you are a participant in the 2014 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the terms of Article 6 – Restrictions & Covenants of those plans.

Severability:
If any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator should later find that any portion of this Agreement is invalid, that invalidity will not affect the enforceability of any other portion of this Agreement.

Employment References:
You understand that P&G’s historical policy is to not provide employment references to prospective employers. However, P&G is willing to waive that policy in your case on the following basis: You authorize your manager or human resources representative to provide an employment reference upon written or verbal request. In return, you release any claim against P&G and will not bring a lawsuit in court against P&G based upon that employment reference (or lack thereof). You agree that you will refer all reference inquiries to your manager or human resources representative only. You further understand that all disputes regarding employment references or the lack thereof must be resolved through the arbitration process described above.






















No Reliance:
This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between you and P&G and fully supersedes any prior agreements or understanding between the parties except that if you are a participant in the 2009 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 1992 Stock Plan, the terms of Article F – Restrictions & Covenants of those plans remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein by reference and if you are a participant in the Procter & Gamble 2019 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan or the Procter & Gamble 2014 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, the terms of Article 6 – Restrictions & Covenants of those plans remain in full force and are in effect and are incorporated herein by reference. In deciding to accept this Agreement, you agree that you have not relied upon any statements or promises by P&G, its managers, agents or employees, other than those set forth in this Agreement. No other promises or agreements concerning the matters described in this Agreement shall be binding unless in a subsequent document signed by these parties.

Your Attorney:
You acknowledge that you have been and hereby are advised to consult with legal counsel before accepting this Agreement and have either done so or have voluntarily declined to do so.

Timing for Acceptance or Revocation:
You have forty-five (45) calendar days in which to consider this Agreement in which you waive important rights, including those under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. If you choose to sign this Agreement, please do so by indicating your acceptance of this Agreement with your electronic signature in P&G’s electronic system. We advise you to consult with an attorney of your choosing prior to signing this Agreement. Further, you may within seven (7) calendar days following the date you sign this Agreement, cancel and terminate it by giving written notice of your intention to revoke the Agreement to your immediate manager, and by returning to P&G any remuneration or benefits that have been advanced to you in anticipation of your not revoking your agreement and to which you are not entitled. If notice of your revocation is mailed, it must be postmarked within seven (7) calendar days after you sign this Agreement.
You agree that any modifications, material or otherwise, made to this Agreement, do not restart or affect in any manner the original up to forty-five (45) calendar day consideration period.


________________________________________________________________________________
The benefits described in this Agreement and pursuant to the summary plan description for the Procter & Gamble Basic Separation Program for U.S. Employees, are the special benefits you will receive by signing this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement describes benefits under other benefit plans and policies sponsored by P&G, these special benefits are also described in the summary plan descriptions for those plans. As such, nothing in this Agreement amends or changes the terms of any P&G-sponsored employee benefit plan or policy.

After your Last Day of Employment, you will no longer be an active P&G employee, which may affect your coverage under those plans and policies. For example, plans may require that you enroll in Medicare to be eligible for coverage. For more information on how not being an active P&G employee may affect your coverage, please refer to and review the summary plan descriptions for each plan, available at PGOneàLife and Career.
