DALLAS, October 25, 2022 - Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE: KMB) today reported third quarter 2022 results.
Executive Summary
•Third quarter 2022 net sales of $5.1 billion increased 1 percent compared to the year-ago period, including organic sales growth of 5 percent.
•Diluted net income per share for the third quarter was $1.38 in 2022 and $1.39 in 2021.
•Third quarter adjusted earnings per share were $1.40 in 2022, down 14 percent compared to $1.62 in 2021. Adjusted earnings per share exclude certain items described later in this news release.
•Diluted net income per share for 2022 is expected to be $5.67 to $6.10.
•The company continues to target full-year 2022 organic sales growth of 5 to 7 percent and expects adjusted earnings per share at the lower end of $5.60 to $6.00 range
“Our third quarter results reflect strong execution by our teams around the world in the face of a challenging macro environment,” said Chairman and CEO Mike Hsu. “We delivered organic sales growth across all our segments and continued to provide our consumers with value-inspired innovation.”
Hsu continued, “We continue to execute our plan to restore margins over time and are seeing progress with sequential margin improvement this quarter. As we navigate persistent input cost inflation, we’re focused on driving our growth strategy, serving consumers, customers and communities while living our purpose of Better Care for a Better World.”
Third Quarter 2022 Operating Results
Sales of $5.1 billion in the third quarter of 2022 increased 1 percent compared to the year-ago period. Organic sales increased 5 percent as net selling prices rose 9 percent and product mix increased sales 1 percent while volumes declined 5 percent. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced sales 4 percent. In North America, organic sales decreased 2 percent in consumer products and increased 5 percent in K-C Professional. Outside North America, organic sales rose 11 percent in both developing and emerging (D&E) and developed markets.
Third quarter operating profit was $655 million in 2022 and $657 million in 2021. Excluding the charges related to the 2018 Global Restructuring Program, 2021 adjusted operating profit was $745 million.
Results were impacted by $360 million of higher input costs. Lower volumes, higher marketing, research and general expense as well as unfavorable foreign currency effects reduced operating profit in the quarter. Results benefited from higher net selling prices and $80 million of cost savings from the company’s FORCE (Focused On Reducing Costs Everywhere) program.

The third quarter effective tax rate was 22.4 percent in 2022 and 21.6 percent in 2021. The third quarter adjusted effective tax rate was 22.3 percent in 2022 and 20.9 percent in 2021. Kimberly-Clark’s share of net income of equity companies in the third quarter was $29 million in 2022 and $21 million in 2021.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash provided by operations in the third quarter was $798 million in 2022 and $782 million in 2021. Capital spending for the third quarter was $209 million in 2022 and $235 million in 2021.

Results benefited from higher net selling prices and cost savings.
Sales in North America decreased 5 percent. Volumes declined 10 percent while net selling prices increased 4 percent and the Thinx acquisition increased sales approximately 2 points.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased sales 4 percent. Third quarter operating profit of $119 million increased 24 percent.

•Foreign currency exchange rates unfavorable 3 to 4 percent on net sales (previous estimate 3 percent) with mid-to high-single digit impact on operating profit (previously mid-single digit).

•Adjusted earnings per share outlook remains at the lower end of $5.60 to $6.00 range (no change).
•Capital spending $0.9 to $1.0 billion (previous range $1.0 to $1.1 billion).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release and the accompanying tables include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures:
•Adjusted earnings and earnings per share
•Adjusted gross and operating profit
•Adjusted effective tax rate
These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures:
•Pension settlements. In 2022, the company recognized pension settlement charges related to lump-sum distributions from pension plan assets exceeding the total of annual service and interest costs resulting in a recognition of deferred actuarial losses.
•Acquisition of controlling interest in Thinx. In the first quarter of 2022, the company completed the acquisition of a majority and controlling share of Thinx. As a result of this transaction, a net benefit was recognized primarily due to the nonrecurring, non-cash gain recognized related to the remeasurement of the carrying value of previously held equity investment to fair value partially offset by transaction and integration costs.
• 2018 Global Restructuring Program. In 2018, the company initiated a restructuring program to reduce our structural cost base by streamlining and simplifying our manufacturing supply chain and overhead organization. Restructuring charges were incurred in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. The restructuring actions were completed by the end of 2021.
-5-
The company provides these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our GAAP financial measures. Management and the company's Board of Directors use adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted gross and operating profit to (a) evaluate the company's historical and prospective financial performance and its performance relative to its competitors, (b) allocate resources and (c) measure the operational performance of the company's business units and their managers. Management also believes that the use of an adjusted effective tax rate provides improved insight into the tax effects of our ongoing business operations.
Additionally, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the company's Board of Directors has used certain of the non-GAAP financial measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals. These goals are based, in part, on the company's adjusted earnings per share and improvement in the company's adjusted return on invested capital determined by excluding certain of the adjustments that are used in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.
This news release includes information regarding organic sales growth, which describes the impact of changes in volume, net selling prices and product mix on net sales. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and exited businesses also impact the year-over-year change in net sales.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, and they should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. The company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to the GAAP measures and by providing reconciliations of the non-GAAP and comparable GAAP financial measures.
