On December 5, 2023, P&G disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that the Company will incur up to $2.5B in charges related to its 2005 acquisition of Gillette and restructuring of operations in several markets. P&G further advised that it anticipates a $1B after-tax non-cash impairment charge during the quarter for intangible assets acquired as part of its Gillette acquisition. According to P&G, "[t]he impairment charge arises from a reduction in the estimated fair value of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset due to a higher discount rate, weakening of several currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the impact of the restructuring program described above. This impairment charge adjusts the carrying value of the Gillette indefinite-lived intangible asset to fair value . . . . [F]uture adverse changes in the business or macroeconomic environment may trigger a further impairment charge."
On this news, P&G's stock price fell $5.30 per share, or 3.49%, to close at $146.76 per share on December 5, 2023.
