Net sales up 1 percent, organic sales grew 5 percent
Revenue Growth Management program and productivity drove continued margin recovery
Company raises 2023 outlook
Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE: KMB) today reported second quarter 2023 results. Comparisons are made versus the prior year period, unless otherwise noted.
"We delivered another quarter of strong organic sales growth and gross margin expansion," said Chairman and CEO Mike Hsu. "Our growth strategy is working, and given the strength of our first-half results, we're raising our full-year outlook."
Hsu added, "Continued improvement in gross margin positions us well to invest in superior brand value propositions, including innovation and digital leadership, which will help grow our market shares over time and deliver balanced and sustainable growth for long-term shareholder value."
Quarter Highlights
- Delivered net sales of $5.1 billion, up 1 percent, with organic sales growth of 5 percent.
- Gross margin was 33.7 percent, up 350 basis points; adjusted gross margin was 34.0 percent, up 380 basis points versus the prior year, driven by favorable net revenue realization and productivity, offsetting inflation.
- Diluted earnings per share were $0.30, primarily driven by $1.36 per share in non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets; on an adjusted basis, earnings per share were $1.65.
- Raised 2023 outlook for organic growth to 3% - 5%, and for adjusted earnings per share growth of 10% - 14%, with adjusted operating margin up 150 basis points at the midpoint versus last year.
Strategic Highlights
- Completed the sale of its Brazil tissue assets in June.
- Launched Huggies' new marketing campaign, Baby Butts, celebrating Huggies' unique design protection for babies on the move.
- Received top honors at the Cannes Lion festival for two brand campaigns in Latin America: The Story of Lea Campos by Intimus, which honors one of the first female football referees in Brazil and #NormalicemosLoNormal by Kotex, which fights menstrual stigma.
- Published Global 2022 Sustainability Report, which highlights the company's progress toward its 2030 ambitions, with the goal of improving the lives of 1 billion people in underserved and vulnerable communities while driving product innovation, human capital initiatives and reducing its environmental footprint.

Second Quarter 2023 Results
Second-quarter sales of $5.1 billion increased 1 percent, with organic sales up 5 percent, driven by a 9 percent increase in price and favorable product mix from ongoing revenue growth management programs, offset by a 3 percent decrease in volume. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased sales by approximately 4 percent.
In North America, organic sales increased 6 percent over last year, including increases of 1 percent in Personal Care, 7 percent in Consumer Tissue and 17 percent in K-C Professional.
Outside North America, organic sales were up 6 percent in developing and emerging (D&E) markets and 4 percent in developed markets (Australia, South Korea and Western/Central Europe).
Gross margin improved by 350 bps to 33.7 percent and adjusted gross margin improved by 380 basis points to 34.0 percent, with higher net revenue realization and cost savings offsetting higher input costs of $30 million.
Second-quarter operating profit was $113 million compared to $621 million last year, resulting in an operating margin of 2.2 percent. Higher gross margin and the net benefit related to the sale of the Brazil tissue and KC-Professional business were offset by non-cash impairment charges on intangible assets primarily related to the company's Indonesia business, and higher marketing, research and general expenses.
On an adjusted basis, operating profit increased by 17 percent, driven by higher gross profit including $80 million in FORCE (Focus on Reducing Costs Everywhere) savings, offset by planned marketing, research and general expenses. Inflation increased input costs by $30 million this quarter. Unfavorable currency effects impacted operating profit by $100 million during the quarter. Adjusted operating margin of 14.2 percent increased 190 basis points over last year.
Net interest expense was $67 million, in line with prior year.
Second-quarter effective tax rate was driven by a net benefit from income taxes of $32 million. On an adjusted basis, the effective rate in the second quarter was 20.5 percent, below 22.0 percent prior year, due to benefits of certain tax planning initiatives.
Net income of equity companies was $50 million compared to $29 million last year driven by Kimberly-Clark de Mexico.
Diluted EPS decreased 77 percent to $0.30 on a reported basis, largely driven by non-cash charges related to impairment of intangible assets. On an adjusted basis, EPS increased 23 percent to $1.65, driven primarily by the 17 percent increase in adjusted operating profit, in addition to gains in equity income and lower income taxes than the same period last year.
Year-To-Date Results
For the first six months of the year, sales of $10.3 billion increased 2 percent, with organic sales up 5 percent, driven by a 10 percent increase in price and favorable product mix from ongoing revenue growth management programs offset by a 4 percent decrease in volume. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased sales by approximately 4 percent.
Gross margin improved by 350 basis points to 33.5 percent, and adjusted gross margin improved by 360 basis points to 33.6 percent with higher net revenue realization and cost savings offsetting higher input costs of $190 million.
Year-to-date operating profit was $900 million in 2023 and $1.3 billion in 2022. Results included non-cash impairment charges on intangible assets primarily related to the company's business in Indonesia, higher marketing, research and general expenses, offset by the net benefit from the Brazil divestiture in the second quarter 2023.
Year-to-date adjusted operating profit was $1.5 billion in 2023 and $1.3 billion in 2022. The increase in organic sales and FORCE savings was partially offset by higher input costs, marketing, research and general expenses, and unfavorable impact from foreign currency.
Through the last six months, diluted earnings per share were $1.97 in 2023 compared to $2.84 last year. Year-to-date adjusted earnings per share were $3.32 compared to $2.69 last year.

Personal Care Segment
Personal Care sales of $2.7 billion decreased 1 percent, while organic sales increased 4 percent, driven by price and mix, partially offset by lower volume. Successful revenue growth management and commercial execution contributed to favorable trends in net revenue realization.
Second-quarter operating profit of $472 million increased 1 percent, with organic growth and cost savings partially offset by input-cost inflation, higher marketing, research and general expenses, and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency.
Consumer Tissue Segment
Consumer Tissue sales of $1.5 billion increased 1 percent, including organic growth of 4 percent, with gains from price partially offset by volume. Organic growth of 7 percent in North America led the increase, with gains in both price and volume. Successful revenue growth management and improving service levels contributed to top-line growth.
Second-quarter operating profit of $200 million increased 12 percent, with organic growth and cost savings partially offset by input-cost inflation, higher other manufacturing costs and higher marketing, research and general expenses.
K-C Professional (KCP) Segment
KCP sales of $887 million increased 11 percent, including organic growth of 13 percent, driven by price and mix partially offset by volume. The segment increased across key categories and regions, led by North America which had gains in both revenue growth management and volumes.
Second-quarter operating profit of $187 million increased 120 percent, driven by continued focus on profitable growth and cost discipline.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Year-to-date cash provided by operations was $1.4 billion compared to $944 million last year. Year-to-date capital spending was $389 million compared to $470 million last year. The company completed share repurchases of 485 thousand shares at a cost of $65 million during the first half of the year. Total debt was $8.1 billion as of June 30, 2023 compared to $8.4 billion at the end of 2022.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain matters contained in this news release concerning the outlook, anticipated financial and operating results, raw material, energy and other input costs, anticipated currency rates and exchange risks, including in Argentina and Turkey, net income from equity companies, sources and uses of cash, the effective tax rate, the anticipated cost savings from the company's FORCE program, growth initiatives, product innovations, contingencies and anticipated transactions of the company constitute forward-looking statements and are based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the company. In addition, many factors outside our control, including the war in Ukraine (including the related responses of consumers, customers and suppliers as well as sanctions issued by the U.S., the European Union, Russia or other countries), pandemics (including the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and the related responses of governments, consumers, customers, suppliers and employees), epidemics, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, prices and availability of our raw materials, supply chain disruptions, disruptions in the capital and credit markets, counterparty defaults (including customers, suppliers and financial institutions with which we do business), failure to realize the expected benefits or synergies from our acquisition and disposition activity, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and our projections of operating results and other factors that may affect our impairment testing, changes in customer preferences, severe weather conditions, government trade or similar regulatory actions, potential competitive pressures on selling prices for our products, energy costs, our ability to maintain key customer relationships, as well as general economic and political conditions globally and in the markets in which we do business, could affect the realization of these estimates.
There can be no assurance that these future events will occur as anticipated or that the company's results will be as estimated. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update them. For a description of certain factors that could cause the company's future results to differ from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements, see Item 1A entitled "Risk Factors" in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
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 reconciliation tables:
- Sale of Brazil tissue and K-C Professional business. In the second quarter of 2023, we recognized a net benefit related to the sale of our Brazil tissue and K-C Professional business.
- Impairment of intangible assets. In the second quarter of 2023, we recognized non-cash charges related to the impairment of certain intangible assets related to Softex Indonesia and Thinx.
- Pension settlements. In the second quarter of 2022 and 2023, we 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.
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.
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. |
