OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, which ended Sept. 30, 2022.
Following is a summary of key first-quarter results. All comparisons are with the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 unless otherwise stated.
- Net sales decreased 4% to $1.74 billion compared to a 6% net sales decrease in the year-ago quarter. The net sales decrease was driven largely by lower volume, partially offset by favorable price mix. Organic sales1 were down 2%. The three-year average growth rate for net sales was up 5%.
- Gross margin decreased 110 basis points to 36% from 37.1% in the year-ago quarter, due to higher manufacturing and logistics costs, higher commodity costs, and lower volume, partially offset by the benefits of pricing and cost savings initiatives.
- Diluted net earnings per share (diluted EPS) decreased 40% to 68 cents from $1.14 in the year-ago quarter. This includes 13 cents related to investments in the company's long-term strategic digital capabilities and productivity enhancements as well as 12 cents related to implementation of its streamlined operating model.
- Adjusted EPS1 decreased 23% to 93 cents from $1.21 in the year-ago quarter, due mainly to lower gross margin, lower volume, and higher selling and administrative expenses, partially offset by the benefits of pricing.
- Year-to-date net cash provided by operations was $178 million compared to $41 million in the year-ago period, representing a 334% increase.
"We delivered better-than-expected results this quarter in a challenging operating environment, which reflects the strength of our brands and strong execution," said CEO Linda Rendle. "Looking ahead, we expect to face ongoing macro headwinds and will adapt with agility. Given these factors, we are maintaining our outlook for the year. We will continue to focus on rebuilding margin, investing in consumer-inspired innovation and driving our transformation forward to build a stronger, more resilient company."

- Launched a data hub giving stakeholders enhanced visibility into ESG performance, including publication of a new climate action plan, to further advance the company's reporting processes and data governance efforts.
The following is a summary of key first-quarter results by reportable segment. All comparisons are with the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, unless otherwise stated.
Health and Wellness (Cleaning; Professional Products; Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements)
- Net sales decreased 4%, with 17 points of favorable price mix more than offset by 21 points of lower volume.
- Cleaning sales decreased, primarily as a result of ongoing normalization of consumer demand, which was partially offset by a stronger-than-anticipated consumer response to a successful back-to-school merchandising program.
- Professional Products sales were flat, as favorable price mix was offset by a volume decrease due to the normalization of demand from the COVID-19 delta variant in the year-ago quarter.
- VMS sales decreased, primarily due to a reduction in inventory levels at select retailers as well as the business's ongoing shift away from noncore brands.
- Segment pretax earnings increased 10%, primarily behind favorable price mix and lower advertising spending, which were partially offset by lower volume, costs associated with the voluntary recall of certain Pine-Sol scented products and higher commodity costs.
Household (Bags and Wraps; Grilling; Cat Litter)
- Net sales decreased 4%, with 10 points of benefit from favorable price mix more than offset by 14 points of lower volume.
- Bags and Wraps sales were down as a result of supply chain disruptions, partially offset by ongoing momentum behind innovation such as Glad ForceFlex Plus Trash Bags with Cherry Blossom scent.
- Grilling sales decreased due to ongoing normalization of consumer demand after the business saw a surge during the peak of the pandemic. Sales this quarter also were impacted by retailer inventory adjustments.
- Cat Litter sales increased, driven mainly by strong category growth and the Fresh Step Outstretch innovation.
- Segment pretax earnings decreased 39%, primarily due to higher manufacturing and logistics costs and higher commodity costs, which were partially offset by the net impact of pricing.
Lifestyle (Food, Natural Personal Care, Water Filtration)
- Net sales decreased 3%, with 7 points of favorable price mix more than offset by 10 points of lower volume.
- Food sales were up, benefiting from continued strong consumption supported by merchandising activities to expand consumer usage of bottled Hidden Valley Ranch to new occasions.
- Natural Personal Care sales decreased due to lower shipments caused by supply chain disruptions.
- Water Filtration sales were down as the business lapped strong shipments in the year-ago quarter after recording strong double-digit sales growth over the last two years.
- Segment pretax earnings decreased 35%, mainly due to higher commodity costs, higher manufacturing and logistics costs, and supply chain disruptions in Natural Personal Care.
International (Sales Outside the U.S.)
- Net sales decreased 1%, with 4 points of lower volume and 9 points of unfavorable foreign exchange rates partially offset by 12 points of favorable price mix. Organic sales growth was 8%. The ongoing normalization of cleaning globally also contributed to lower sales.
- Segment pretax earnings decreased 23% behind unfavorable foreign exchange rates, higher manufacturing and logistics costs, and higher commodity costs, which were partially offset by the net impact of pricing.
Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook
The company is confirming its fiscal year 2023 outlook with the following elements:
- Net sales from a 4% decrease to a 2% increase compared to the prior year (organic sales from a 3% decrease to a 3% increase).
- Foreign exchange headwinds now represent about a 2-point reduction in sales from 1.5 points assumed in the prior outlook.
- Gross margin increase of about 200 basis points, primarily due to the combined benefit of pricing, cost savings and supply chain optimization, offset by continued cost inflation.
- Selling and administrative expenses between 15% and 16% of net sales, including about 1.5 points of impact from the company's strategic investments in digital capabilities and productivity enhancements.
- Advertising and sales promotion spending of about 10% of net sales, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to invest in its brands.
- Effective tax rate of about 24%, with year-over-year increase primarily reflecting lower excess tax benefits from equity compensation.
- Diluted EPS between $3.10 and $3.47, or a 17% to 7% decrease, respectively.
- Adjusted EPS between $3.85 and $4.22, or a 6% decrease to a 3% increase, respectively. It reflects continued normalization of demand in parts of the portfolio that saw the most significant surge over the last two years and progress rebuilding gross margin. It also reflects the company's long-standing commitment to continue investing in its brands as well as a return to more normalized levels of incentive compensation and a higher effective tax rate. To provide greater visibility into the underlying operating performance of the business, adjusted EPS outlook excludes the long-term strategic investment in digital capabilities and productivity enhancements, estimated to be about 55 cents, and an estimated 20-cent charge related to the previously announced streamlined operating model.

The company's forward-looking statements in this press release are based on management's current views, beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events and speak only as of the date of this press release. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by the federal securities laws.
- This press release contains non-GAAP financial information related to organic sales growth/(decrease) and adjusted EPS for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, as well as organic sales growth/(decrease) and adjusted EPS outlook for fiscal year 2023.
- Clorox defines organic sales growth/(decrease) as GAAP net sales growth/(decrease) excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate changes and any acquisitions or divestitures.
- Organic sales growth/(decrease) outlook for fiscal year 2023 excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, which the company currently expects to reduce GAAP net sales growth/(decrease) by about 2 percentage points.
- Management believes that the presentation of organic sales growth/(decrease) is useful to investors because it excludes sales from any acquisitions and divestitures, which results in a comparison of sales only from the businesses that the company was operating and expects to continue to operate throughout the relevant periods, and the company's estimate of the impact of foreign exchange rate changes, which are difficult to predict and out of the control of the company and management. However, organic sales growth/(decrease) may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation or differences in which items are incorporated into these adjustments.
- Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for significant items that are nonrecurring or unusual. The income tax effect on non-GAAP items is calculated based upon the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment.
- Adjusted EPS is supplemental information that management uses to help evaluate the company's historical and prospective financial performance on a consistent basis over time. Management believes that by adjusting for certain items affecting comparability of performance over time, such as asset impairments, charges related to the streamlined operating model, charges related to the digital capabilities and productivity enhancements investment, significant losses/(gains) related to acquisitions and other nonrecurring or unusual items, investors and management are able to gain additional insight into the company's underlying operating performance on a consistent basis over time. However, adjusted EPS may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation or differences in which items are incorporated into these adjustments.
- The reconciliation tables below refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for the following items:
As announced in August 2021, the company plans to invest approximately $500 million over a five-year period in transformative technologies and processes. This investment, which began in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, includes replacement of the company's enterprise resource planning system and transitioning to a cloud-based platform as well as the implementation of a suite of other digital technologies. Together it is expected that these implementations will generate efficiencies and transform the company's operations in the areas of supply chain, digital commerce, innovation, brand building and more over the long term.
Of the total $500 million investment, approximately 55% is expected to represent incremental operating costs primarily recorded within selling and administrative expenses to be adjusted from reported EPS for purposes of disclosing adjusted EPS over the course of the next five years. About 70% of these incremental operating costs are expected to be related to the implementation of the ERP, with the remaining costs primarily related to the implementation of complementary technologies.
Due to the nature, scope and magnitude of this investment, these costs are considered by management to represent incremental transformational costs above the historical normal level of spending for information technology to support operations. Since these strategic investments, including incremental operating costs, will cease at the end of the investment period, are not expected to recur in the foreseeable future and are not considered representative of the company's underlying operating performance, the company's management believes presenting these costs as an adjustment in the non-GAAP results provides additional information to investors about trends in the company's operations and is useful for period-over-period comparisons. It also allows investors to view underlying operating results in the same manner as they are viewed by company management.
As announced in August 2022, Clorox began to implement a streamlined operating model in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. This quarter, the company began recognizing costs related to implementation of this model to meet its objectives of driving growth and productivity. The streamlined operating model is expected to enhance the company's ability to respond more quickly to changing consumer behaviors and innovate faster. Related costs are primarily expected to include employee-related costs to reduce certain staffing levels, such as severance payments, as well as for consulting and other costs. The company anticipates that the implementation of this new model will be completed in fiscal year 2024, with different phases occurring throughout the implementation period. As a result, the company expects to incur costs of approximately $75 million to $100 million over fiscal years 2023 and 2024, with approximately $35 million, or about 20 cents, to be recognized in fiscal year 2023, primarily within other income and expense. Due to the nonrecurring and unusual nature of these costs, the company's management believes presenting these costs as an adjustment in the non-GAAP results provides additional information to investors about trends in the company's operations and is useful for period over period comparisons. It also allows investors to view underlying operating results in the same manner as they are viewed by company management.
