NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies

No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Segment Information

Effective July 1, 2013, the Company implemented a number of changes to our GBU structure, which resulted in changes to our reportable segments. We organized our Global Business Units (GBUs) into four industry-based sectors comprised of 1) Global Beauty, 2) Global Health and Grooming, 3) Global Fabric and Home Care, and 4) Global Baby, Feminine and Family Care. Under U.S. GAAP, the GBUs underlying these sectors will be aggregated into five reportable segments: 1) Beauty, 2) Grooming, 3) Health Care, 4) Fabric Care and Home Care, and 5) Baby, Feminine and Family Care. As a result of the organizational changes, Feminine Care transitioned from Health Care to Baby, Feminine and Family Care, and Pet Care transitioned from Fabric Care and Home Care to Health Care.

Following is a summary of segment results.

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill as of September 30, 2013 is allocated by reportable segment as follows. Current and prior year balances reflect the change in segment reporting. As a result, Feminine Care goodwill moved from Health Care to Baby, Feminine and Family Care and Pet Care goodwill moved from Fabric Care and Home Care to Health Care.

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. For details on the Company’s risk management activities and fair value measurement policies under the fair value hierarchy, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

⁽¹⁾	Other foreign currency instruments are comprised of foreign currency financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges.

⁽²⁾

All derivative assets are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other noncurrent assets. Investment securities are presented in available-for-sale investment securities and other noncurrent assets. The U.S government securities are included in other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2013. The amortized cost of the U.S. government securities was $1,604 as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013. All U.S. government securities have contractual maturities between one and five years. Fair values are generally estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments.


⁽³⁾	All liabilities are presented in accrued and other liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities.


⁽⁴⁾	Long-term debt includes the current portion ($2,064 and $4,540 as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively) of debt instruments. Long-term debt is not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, but is measured at fair value for disclosure purposes. Fair values are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments.

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 and there were no assets or liabilities that were remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the period ended September 30, 2013.

Substantially all of the Company’s financial instruments used in hedging transactions are governed by industry standard netting agreements with counterparties. If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below the levels stipulated in the agreements, the counterparties could demand either collateralization or termination of the arrangement. The aggregate fair value of the instruments covered by these contractual features that are in a net liability position as of September 30, 2013, was not material. The Company has not been required to post any collateral as a result of these contractual features.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments

The notional amounts and fair values of qualifying and non-qualifying financial instruments used in hedging transactions as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

The effective portion of gains and losses on derivative instruments that was recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, was not material. During the next 12 months, the amount of the September 30, 2013 accumulated OCI (AOCI) balance that will be reclassified to earnings is expected to be immaterial.

The amounts of gains and losses on qualifying and non-qualifying financial instruments used in hedging transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

The gain or loss on the effective portion of cash flow hedging relationships is reclassified from AOCI into net income in the same period during which the related item affects earnings. Such amounts are included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows: interest rate contracts in interest expense, foreign currency contracts in selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) and interest expense and commodity contracts in cost of products sold.


⁽²⁾	The gain or loss on the ineffective portion of interest rate contracts and net investment hedges, if any, is included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in interest expense.


⁽³⁾	The gain or loss on contracts not designated as hedging instruments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows: foreign currency contracts in SG&A and commodity contracts in cost of products sold.


⁽⁴⁾	The gain or loss on non-qualifying foreign currency contracts substantially offsets the foreign currency mark-to-market impact of the related exposure.

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 million annually. In February and November 2012, the Company made announcements regarding an incremental restructuring program as part of a productivity and cost savings plan to reduce costs in the areas of supply chain, research and development, marketing and overheads. The productivity and cost savings plan was designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes in order to help fund the Company's growth strategy. The restructuring program is being executed across the Company's centralized organization as well as across virtually all of its Market Development Organization (MDO) and GBUs.

The Company expects to incur in excess of $3.5 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a five year period (from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2016), including costs incurred as part of the ongoing and incremental restructuring program. The restructuring program included an initial net reduction in non-manufacturing overhead personnel of approximately 5,700 by the end of fiscal 2013. In addition to the initial reduction of 5,700 employees, the restructuring program includes plans for a further non-manufacturing overhead personnel reduction of approximately 2% - 4% annually from fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2016, roughly doubling the size of the initial enrollment reduction target. This is being done via the elimination of duplicate work, simplification through the use of technology and the optimization of various functional and business organizations and the Company's global footprint. In addition, the plan includes integration of newly acquired companies and the optimization of the supply chain and other manufacturing processes.

Restructuring costs incurred consist primarily of costs to separate employees and asset-related costs to exit facilities. The Company is also incurring other types of costs as outlined below. Through fiscal 2013, the Company incurred charges of approximately $2.0 billion. Approximately $1.1 billion of these charges were related to separations, $487 million were asset-related and $431 million were related to other restructuring-type costs. Through fiscal 2013, the Company reduced non-manufacturing enrollment by approximately 7,000, which was 1,300 positions above initial target.

The Company incurred total restructuring charges of approximately $129 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Approximately $48 million of these charges were recorded in SG&A. The remainder is included in cost of products

Separation Costs

Employee separation charges for the three months ended September 30, 2013, relate to severance packages for approximately 230 employees, of which approximately 170 are non-manufacturing employees. These separations are primarily in North America and Western Europe. The packages are predominately voluntary and the amounts are 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. Since its inception, the restructuring program has incurred separation charges related to approximately 6,980 employees, of which approximately 4,810 are non-manufacturing overhead personnel.

Asset-Related Costs

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 standardization. The asset-related charges will not have a significant impact on future depreciation charges.

Other Costs

Other restructuring-type charges are incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program. Such charges primarily include employee relocation related to separations and office consolidations, termination of contracts related to supply chain redesign and the cost to change internal systems and processes to support the underlying organizational changes.

Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the restructuring program charges are funded by and included within Corporate for both management and segment reporting. Accordingly, 100% of the charges under the program are included within the Corporate reportable segment. However, for informative purposes, the following table summarizes the total restructuring costs related to our reportable segments.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising out of our business which cover a wide range of matters such as antitrust, trade and other governmental regulations, product liability, patent and trademark matters, advertising, contracts, environmental issues, labor and employment matters and income taxes.

As previously disclosed, the Company has had a number of antitrust matters in Europe. These matters involve a number of other consumer products companies and/or retail customers. Several regulatory authorities in Europe have issued separate decisions pursuant to their investigations alleging that the Company, along with several other companies, engaged in violations of competition laws in those countries. The Company has accrued the assessed fines for each of the decisions, of which all but $16 million has been paid as of September 30, 2013. Some of those are on appeal. As a result of our initial and on-going analyses of other formal complaints, the Company has accrued liabilities for competition law violations totaling $143 million as of September 30, 2013. While the ultimate resolution of these matters for which we have accrued liabilities may result in fines or costs in excess of the amounts reserved, it is difficult to estimate such amounts at this time. Currently, however, we do not expect any such incremental losses to materially impact our financial statements in the period in which they are accrued and paid, respectively.

With respect to other litigation and claims, 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 have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Tax Uncertainties

The Company is present in approximately 150 taxable jurisdictions and, at any point in time, has 40 – 50 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 2002 and forward. We are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts or timing until the close of the audit. While we do not expect material changes, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit with respect to our uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months related to audits described above. At this time, we are not able to make a reasonable estimate of the range of impact on the balance of uncertain tax positions or the impact on the effective tax rate related to these items.

Additional information on the Commitments and Contingencies of the Company can be found in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, which appears in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this report, including without limitation, the following sections: “Management's Discussion and Analysis,” and “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

Amounts in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified.

II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q). We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The purpose of this Management 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. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. MD&A is organized in the following sections:


•	Overview


•	Summary of Results


•	Economic Conditions, Challenges and Risks


•	Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2013


•	Business Segment Discussion – Three Months Ended September 30, 2013


•	Financial Condition


•	Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout 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), including organic sales growth, core net earnings per share (EPS), free cash flow and free cash flow productivity. Organic sales growth is net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures. Core EPS is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding certain items that are not judged to be part of the Company's sustainable results or trends. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital spending. Free cash flow productivity is the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. We believe these measures provide investors with important information that is useful in understanding our business results and trends. The explanation at the end of MD&A provides more details on the use and the derivation of these 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 MD&A are based on a combination of vendor-reported consumption and market size data, as well as internal estimates. All market share references represent the percentage of sales in dollar terms on a constant currency basis of our products, relative to all product sales in the category.

OVERVIEW

We are a global leader in retail goods focused on providing branded consumer packaged goods of superior quality and value to our consumers around the world. Our products are sold in more than 180 countries and territories primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, salons, high-frequency stores and distributors. We continue to expand our presence in other channels, such as perfumeries and e-commerce. We have on-the-ground operations in approximately 70 countries.

Our market environment is highly competitive with global, regional and local competitors. In many of the markets and industry segments in which we sell our products, we compete against other branded products as well as retailers' private-label brands. Additionally, many of the product segments in which we compete are differentiated by price tiers (referred to as super-premium, premium, mid-tier and value-tier products). We are well positioned in the industry segments and markets in which we operate, often holding a leadership or significant market share position.

Effective July 1, 2013, the Company implemented a number of changes to our Global Business Unit (GBU) structure, which resulted in changes to our reportable segments. We organized our GBUs into four industry-based sectors comprised of 1) Global Beauty, 2) Global Health and Grooming, 3) Global Fabric and Home Care, and 4) Global Baby, Feminine and Family Care. Under U.S. GAAP, the GBUs underlying these sectors are aggregated into five reportable segments: 1) Beauty, 2) Grooming, 3) Health Care, 4) Fabric Care and Home Care, and 5) Baby, Feminine and Family Care. As a result of the organizational changes, Feminine Care transitioned from Health Care to Baby, Feminine and Family Care, and Pet Care transitioned from Fabric Care and Home Care to Health Care.

The table below provides more information about the components of our reportable business segment structure.



Reportable Segment	GBUs (Categories)	Billion Dollar Brands
Beauty	Beauty Care (Antiperspirant and Deodorant, Cosmetics, Personal Cleansing, Skin Care); Hair Care and Color; Prestige (SK-II, Fragrances); Salon Professional	Head & Shoulders, Olay, Pantene, SK-II, Wella
Grooming	Shave Care (Blades and Razors, Pre- and Post-Shave Products); Braun and Appliances	Fusion, Gillette, Mach3, Prestobarba
Health Care	Personal Health Care (Gastrointestinal, Rapid Diagnostics, Respiratory, Other Personal Health Care, Vitamins/Minerals/Supplements); Oral Care (Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Other Oral Care); Pet Care	Crest, Iams, Oral-B, Vicks
Fabric Care and Home Care	Fabric Care (Bleach and Laundry Additives, Fabric Enhancers, Laundry Detergents); Home Care (Air Care, Dish Care, Surface Care); Personal Power (Batteries); Professional	Ace, Ariel, Dawn, Downy, Duracell, Febreze, Gain, Tide
Baby, Feminine and Family Care	Baby Care (Baby Wipes, Diapers and Pants); Feminine Care (Feminine Care, Incontinence); Family Care (Paper Towels, Tissues, Toilet Paper)	Always, Bounty, Charmin, Pampers

The following table provides the percentage of net sales and net earnings by reportable business segment for the three months ended September 30, 2013 (excludes net sales and net earnings in Corporate):



	Three Months Ended September 30, 2013
	Net Sales	Net Earnings
Beauty	23%	23%
Grooming	9%	15%
Health Care	11%	9%
Fabric Care and Home Care	31%	29%

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

Following are highlights of results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 versus the three months ended September 30, 2012:


•	Net sales increased 2% versus the previous year to $21.2 billion. Organic sales, which exclude the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange, were up 4%.


•	Unit volume increased 4%. Volume grew mid-single digits for Fabric Care and Home Care and Baby, Feminine and Family Care. Volume increased low single digits for Beauty. Volume declined low single digits for Grooming and Health Care.


•	Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble were $3.0 billion, an increase of $213 million, or 8% versus the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by a $204 million after tax reduction in restructuring charges.


•	Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations increased 8% to $1.04.


•	Core net earnings per share, which excludes incremental restructuring charges and base period legal charges, decreased 1% to $1.05.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, CHALLENGES AND RISKS

Ability to Achieve Business Plans. We are a consumer products company and rely on continued demand for our brands and products. To achieve business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to consumers and retail trade customers. Our continued success is dependent on leading-edge innovation with respect to both products and operations, the continued positive reputations of our brands and our ability to successfully maintain patent and trademark protection. This means we must be able to obtain patents and trademarks, and respond to technological advances and patents granted to competition. Our success is also dependent on effective sales, advertising and marketing programs. Our ability to innovate and execute in these areas will determine

the extent to which we are able to grow existing sales and volume profitably, especially with respect to the product categories and geographic markets (including developing markets) in which we have chosen to focus. There are high levels of competitive activity in the environments in which we operate. To address these challenges, we must respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives, trade terms and product initiatives. We must manage each of these factors, as well as maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our key customers, in order to effectively compete and achieve our business plans. As a company that manages a portfolio of consumer brands, our ongoing business model involves a certain level of ongoing acquisition, divestiture and joint venture activities. We must be able to successfully manage the impacts of these activities, while at the same time delivering against base business objectives. Daily conduct of our business also depends on our ability to maintain key information technology systems, including systems operated by third-party suppliers, and to maintain security over our data.

Cost Pressures. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, raw materials, labor costs, foreign exchange and interest rates. Therefore, our success is dependent, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects, sourcing decisions and certain hedging transactions, as well as through consistent productivity improvements. We also must manage our debt and currency exposure, especially in certain countries with currency exchange, import authorization and pricing controls, such as Venezuela, Argentina, China, India, and Egypt. We need to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including sole supplier and sole manufacturing plant arrangements, and successfully manage any disruptions at Company manufacturing sites. We must implement, achieve and sustain cost improvement plans, including our outsourcing projects and those related to general overhead and workforce optimization. Successfully managing these changes, including identifying, developing and retaining key employees, is critical to our success.

Global Economic Conditions. Demand for our products has a correlation to global macroeconomic factors. The current macroeconomic factors remain dynamic. Economic changes, terrorist activity, political unrest and natural disasters may result in business interruption, inflation, deflation, lack of market growth or decreased demand for our products. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage continued global political and/or economic uncertainty, especially in our significant geographic markets. We could also be negatively impacted by a global, regional or national economic crisis, including sovereign risk in the event of a deterioration in the credit worthiness of or a default by local governments, resulting in a disruption of credit markets. Such events could negatively impact our ability to collect receipts due from governments, including refunds of value added taxes, create significant credit risks relative to our local customers and depository institutions, and/or negatively impact our overall liquidity.

Regulatory Environment. Changes in laws, regulations and the related interpretations may alter the environment in which we do business. This includes changes in environmental, competitive and product-related laws, as well as changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements. Our ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters (including, but not limited to, product liability, patent, intellectual property, competition law matters and tax policy) and to resolve pending legal matters within current estimates may impact our results.

For more information on risks that could impact our results, refer to Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in this Form 10-Q.

* Other includes the sales mix impact from acquisitions/divestitures and rounding impacts necessary to reconcile volume to net sales.

Operating Costs

Gross margin contracted 110 basis points to 49.0% of net sales for the quarter. The decrease in gross margin was driven by a 140 basis point impact from unfavorable geographic and product mix behind disproportionate growth in developing regions, the Fabric Care and Home Care and Baby, Feminine and Family Care segments, and mid-tier products, which have lower gross margins than the Company average. Additionally gross margin decreased by 80-basis-point due to the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange. These were partially offset by manufacturing cost savings of 160 basis points and a decrease in restructuring spending.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 3% to $6.2 billion primarily due to a reduction in restructuring spending. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 160 basis points to 29.4%. Lower restructuring spending drove 90 basis points of the decline. Overhead productivity savings of 40 basis points and scale benefits of increased net sales on both overhead and marketing spending were partially offset by an increase in wages primarily in developing regions.

Non-Operating Expenses and Income

Interest expense was $165 million for the quarter, down $7 million versus the prior year period due to lower interest rates on floating rate debt, partially offset by an increase in debt outstanding. Interest income was $21 million for the quarter, an increase of $2 million versus the prior year due to an increase in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities. Other non-operating income/(expense) decreased $23 million to $5 million primarily due to the sale of the Company's household appliances business in the base period.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on continuing operations decreased 160 basis points to 23.8%. The current year decline was driven by a favorable geographic mix of earnings and the timing of U.S. corporate tax law changes in the prior year, partially offset by the net impact of favorable discrete adjustments related to uncertain income tax positions (which netted to 30 basis points in the current year versus 180 basis points in the prior year).

Net Earnings

Net earnings increased $204 million or 7% to $3.1 billion for the quarter. The increase was due to the increase in net sales, the reduction in SG&A, and the lower effective tax rate. These favorable items were partially offset by the gross margin contraction. Foreign exchange reduced net earnings by about $250 million for the quarter. Diluted net earnings per share increased 8% to $1.04. Earnings per share grew more than net earnings due to the reduction in number of shares outstanding and due to the impact of noncontrolling interests. Core net earnings per share decreased 1% to $1.05. Core net earnings per share represents diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding incremental restructuring charges in both periods related to our productivity and cost savings plan and the prior year charges for European legal matters.

Foreign Currency Translation – Venezuela Impacts

Venezuela is a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Venezuela. Any currency remeasurement adjustments for non-dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities

held by these subsidiaries and other transactional foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings.

The Venezuelan government has established one official exchange rate for qualifying dividends and imported goods and services, equal to 6.3 Bolivares Fuertes (VEF) to one U.S. dollar. Transactions at the official exchange rate are subject to CADIVI (Venezuelan government's Foreign Exchange Administrative Commission). Our overall results in Venezuela are reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements at the official rate, which is currently the rate expected to be applicable to dividend repatriations.

In addition to the official exchange rate, there was previously a parallel exchange market (SITME) that was controlled by the Central Bank of Venezuela as the only legal intermediary to execute foreign exchange transactions outside of CADIVI. The published rate was 5.3 through February 12, 2013. The notional amount of transactions that ran through this foreign exchange rate for nonessential goods was restrictive, which essentially eliminated the Company's ability to access any foreign exchange rate other than the official CADIVI rate to pay for imported goods and/or manage our local monetary asset balances. When the government devalued its currency in February, 2013, it also eliminated SITME, but established a new auction-based exchange rate market program, referred to as SICAD. As of September 30, 2013, there is little official information available on this auction process or the underlying auction rates. Because there is little information available on the SICAD mechanism, all of our net monetary assets are measured at the official 6.3 exchange rate at September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had net monetary assets denominated in local currency of $1.0 billion. Local currency balances increased 11% since June 30, 2013 due to earnings in Venezuela and an increase in the net amount of indirect value added taxes (VAT) receivable from the government from goods receipts and shipments. Depending on the ultimate transparency and liquidity of the SICAD market, it is possible that we may remeasure a portion of our net monetary balances (the amount of the net assets needed to satisfy U.S. dollar denominated liabilities that do not qualify for official rate dollars, approximately $183 million as of September 30, 2013) at the SICAD rate. This would result in an additional devaluation charge.

The Company intends to restore net sales and profit to levels achieved prior to the devaluation. However, our ability to do so will be impacted by several factors. These include our ability to mitigate the effect of the recently enacted price controls, any potential future devaluation, any further Venezuelan government price or exchange controls, economic conditions and the availability of raw materials and utilities. In addition, depending on the future availability of U.S. dollars at the official rate, our local U.S. dollar needs, our overall repatriation plans, the creditworthiness of the local depository institutions and other creditors and our ability to collect amounts due from customers and the government, including VAT receivables, we may have exposure for our local monetary assets. We also have devaluation exposure for the differential between the current and potential future official exchange rates.

BUSINESS SEGMENT DISCUSSION – Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

The following discussion provides a review of results by reportable business segment. Analyses of the results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 are provided based on a comparison to the same three-month periods ended September 30, 2012. The primary financial measures used to evaluate segment performance are net sales and net earnings. The table below provides supplemental information on net sales and net earnings by reportable business segment for the three months ended September 30, 2013 versus the comparable prior year period (amounts in millions):

Beauty

Three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with three months ended September 30, 2012

Beauty net sales decreased 1% to $4.9 billion during the first fiscal quarter on unit volume that increased by 2%. Organic sales increased 1%. Unfavorable product mix reduced net sales by 1% due to disproportionate growth in developing regions and mid-tier products, both of which have lower than segment average selling prices. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 2%. Global market share of the Beauty segment decreased 0.2 points. Volume increased low single digits in developed and developing markets. Volume in Hair Care increased low single digits, with low-single digit growth in both developed and developing regions due to innovation and market growth. Global market share of the hair care category was flat. Volume in Beauty Care increased mid-single digits due to product innovation and market growth for personal cleansing and deodorants, partially offset by a decrease in facial skin care due to competitive activity. Global market share of the beauty care category decreased slightly. Volume in Salon Professional decreased low single digits due to initiative activity in the base period and market contraction primarily in Southern Europe. Volume in Prestige decreased mid-single digits due to minor brand divestitures and customer inventory reductions. Net earnings increased 5% to $690 million as the decline in net sales was more than offset by an 80 basis point increase in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin increased due to a decrease in SG&A, partially offset by gross margin contraction. SG&A decreased due to reductions in both marketing and overhead spending. Gross margin decreased due to the impact of foreign exchange and the unfavorable product mix, partially offset by manufacturing cost savings.

Grooming

Three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with three months ended September 30, 2012

Grooming net sales decreased 3% to $2.0 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 1% decrease in unit volume. Organic sales were up 1% on organic volume that was in line with the prior year period. Price increases contributed 1% to net sales growth. The mix impact of the household appliances divestiture reduced net sales by 1%. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 2%. Global market share of the Grooming segment increased 0.2 points. Volume decreased mid-single digits in developed regions partially offset by a low-single digit increase in developing regions. On an organic basis, volume was down low single digits in developed regions and up low single digits in developing regions. Shave Care volume was in line with the prior year period, as low single-digit growth in developing regions from innovation and market growth was offset by a low single-digit decrease in developed regions due to market contraction. Global market share of the blades and razors category was flat. Volume in Appliances decreased double digits due to the sale of the Braun household appliances business. Organic volume increased low single digits due to product innovation and shipments to support initiatives and new distributors. Global market share of the appliances category was down more than half a point. Net earnings decreased 3% to $453 million due to the decrease in net sales and a 10 basis-point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin decreased due to gross margin contraction, partially offset by a reduction in SG&A spending and a lower effective tax rate. Gross margin decreased due to the impact of foreign exchange, higher commodity costs and unfavorable product and geographic mix. SG&A decreased primarily due to a decrease in marketing spending.

Health Care

Three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with three months ended September 30, 2012

Health Care net sales decreased 1% to $2.3 billion during the first fiscal quarter on a 1% decrease in unit volume. Organic sales were consistent with the prior year period. Price increases contributed 2% to net sales growth. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 1%. Disproportionate growth in developing regions drove unfavorable geographic mix reducing net sales by 1%. Global market share of the Health Care segment decreased 0.4 points. Volume decreased low single digits in developed regions, partially offset by a low single-digit increase in developing regions. Oral Care volume was in line with the prior year period, as a low single-digit decrease in developed regions due to competitive activity was offset by a mid-single digit increase in developing regions behind geographic market expansion and market growth. Global market share of the oral care category was flat. Volume in Personal Health Care was in line with the prior year period, as growth behind innovation was offset by a decrease in shipments of Prilosec OTC in North America. Pet Care volume decreased mid-single digits primarily due to the impact of product recalls for Natura. Global market share of the pet care category was down more than half a point. Net earnings decreased 17% to $267 million due to the decrease in net sales and a 220-basis point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin decreased due to gross margin contraction and an increase in SG&A. Gross margin decreased primarily due to unfavorable product and geographic mix and the impact of the Natura recalls. SG&A increased primarily due to an increase in marketing spending.

Fabric Care and Home Care

Three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with three months ended September 30, 2012

Fabric Care and Home Care net sales for the first fiscal quarter increased 3% to $6.7 billion on a 6% increase in unit volume. Organic sales were up 6%. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 3%. Price decreases due to an increase in trade

promotions reduced net sales by 1%. Favorable product mix increased net sales by 1% due to disproportionate growth of premium tier-products, such as Tide/Ariel pods, which have higher selling prices than the segment average. Global market share of the Fabric Care and Home Care segment was unchanged. Volume increased high single digits in developing regions and mid-single digits in developed regions. Fabric Care volume increased mid-single digits driven by a high single-digit volume increase in developing regions behind market growth and innovation. Global market share of the fabric care category decreased slightly. Home Care volume increased high single digits driven by a double-digit increase in developing markets, due to distribution expansion and market growth, and mid-single-digit increase in developed regions due to innovation. Global market share of the home care category was up less than half a point. Batteries volume increased high single digits, led by double-digit growth in developed regions primarily due to new customer distribution. Global market share of the batteries category was up less than half a point. Net earnings decreased 2% to $857 million as net sales growth was more than offset by a 70-basis point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin decreased primarily due to gross margin contraction from lower pricing, higher commodity costs, and the impact of foreign exchange.

Baby, Feminine and Family Care

Three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with three months ended September 30, 2012

Baby, Feminine and Family Care net sales increased 5% to $5.5 billion during the first fiscal quarter on 6% volume growth. Organic sales were up 6%. Global market share of the Baby, Feminine and Family Care segment decreased 0.2 points. Volume increased mid-single digits in developed regions and high single digits in developing regions. Volume in Baby Care increased high single digits due to a double-digit increase in developing regions, from market growth and product innovation, and a mid-single-digit increase in developed regions due to innovation in North America. Global market share of the baby care category decreased nearly half a point. Volume in Feminine Care increased low single-digits due to low single digit growth in developing markets behind market growth and product innovation. Global market share of the feminine care category was down nearly half a point. Volume in Family Care increased high single digits due to product innovation on Charmin and Bounty and lower pricing. In the U.S., all-outlet share of the family care category was up half a point. Net earnings were in line with the prior year at $725 million as the increase in net sales was offset by a 60-basis point decrease in net earnings margin. Net earnings margin decreased due to a lower gross margin, which was driven by the impact of foreign exchange and unfavorable product and geographic mix due to a disproportionate growth in developing regions and mid-tier products, both of which have lower gross margins than the segment average.

CORPORATE

Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities not allocated to specific business units. These include: the incidental businesses managed at the corporate level; financing and investing activities; other general corporate items; the historical results of certain divested brands and categories; certain restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization; and certain significant impairment charges. Corporate also includes reconciling items to adjust the accounting policies used in the segments to U.S. GAAP. The most significant reconciling items include income taxes (to adjust from statutory rates that are reflected in the segments to the overall Company effective tax rate), noncontrolling interest adjustments for subsidiaries where we do not have 100% ownership and adjustments for unconsolidated entities (to eliminate net sales, cost of products sold and SG&A for entities that are consolidated in the segments but accounted for using the equity method for U.S. GAAP). Since certain unconsolidated entities and less-than-100%-owned subsidiaries are managed as integral parts of the Company, they are accounted for similar to a wholly-owned subsidiary for management and segment purposes. This means our segment results recognize 100% of each income statement component through before-tax earnings in the segments, with eliminations for unconsolidated entities and noncontrolling interests in Corporate. In determining segment net earnings, we apply the statutory tax rates (with adjustments to arrive at the Company's effective tax rate in Corporate). We also eliminate the share of earnings applicable to other ownership interests.

Corporate net sales primarily reflect the adjustment to eliminate the net sales of unconsolidated entities included in business segment results. Accordingly, Corporate net sales are generally a negative balance. Negative net sales in Corporate decreased by $118 million in the first fiscal quarter due to 1) the buy-out of our Iberian joint venture partner (after which this business is consolidated for both segment and consolidated results and the underlying sales no longer need to be eliminated) and 2) smaller adjustments required to eliminate reduced sales of the remaining unconsolidated entities. Corporate net income increased $258 million in the first fiscal quarter primarily due to the lower negative net sales balances and reduced restructuring charges. Additional discussion of the items impacting net earnings in Corporate are included in the Results of Operations section.

Productivity and Cost Savings Plan

In February and November 2012, the Company made announcements related to 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.

As part of this plan, the Company expects to incur in excess of $3.5 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a five-year period (from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2016). Approximately 55% of the estimated costs have been incurred through fiscal year 2013, with the remainder expected to be incurred in fiscal years 2014 through 2016. Savings generated from the restructuring costs are difficult to estimate, given the nature of the activities, the corollary benefits achieved, the timing of the execution and the degree of reinvestment. Overall, the costs are expected to deliver in excess of $2 billion in before-tax annual savings. The cumulative before-tax savings as of the current year are expected to be approximately $1.3 - $1.6 billion. Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the resulting charges are funded by and included within Corporate for segment reporting.

Refer to Note 9 in our Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on the restructuring program.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Operating Activities

We generated $2.0 billion of cash from operating activities for the quarter, a decrease of $726 million versus the prior year. Net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, deferred income taxes, and gain on sale of businesses), generated $3.9 billion of operating cash flow. This was partially offset by working capital increases. On a fiscal year-to-date basis, the net of accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities consumed $2.0 billion of cash. Accounts receivable used $3 million of cash and inventory consumed $452 million of cash to support product initiatives and holiday-related shipments in some of our seasonal businesses. Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities consumed $809 million of cash due to the payment of prior year accruals, which were higher than historical levels due to increased marketing and advertising expenses late in the year. Other operating assets and liabilities consumed $731 million of cash due to a discretionary cash contribution of approximately $1.0 billion to the Company's German defined benefit pension plan.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities was $846 million for the quarter, an increase of $107 million versus the prior year period. Capital expenditures consumed $725 million or 3.4% of net sales, as compared to $805 million in the prior year period. We also used $124 million of cash in the current year for other investing activities.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities consumed net cash of $971 million. We used $2.5 billion for treasury stock purchases and $1.7 billion for dividends and partially funded these cash outlays through a $2.9 billion net increase in debt.

As of September 30, 2013, our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $6.9 billion. We have short- and long-term debt to fund discretionary items such as acquisitions and share repurchase programs. 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 NON-GAAP MEASURES

Our discussion of financial results includes several measures not defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe these measures provide our investors with additional information about the underlying results and trends of the Company, as well as insight to some of the metrics used to evaluate management. When used in MD&A, we have provided the comparable GAAP measure in the discussion.

Organic Sales Growth: Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. We believe this provides investors with a more complete

understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Organic sales is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation.

The reconciliation of reported sales growth to organic sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013:



July 2013 - September 2013	Net Sales Growth		Foreign Exchange Impact		Acquisition/ Divestiture Impact*		Organic Sales Growth
Beauty	(1	)%	2	%	—	%	1	%
Grooming	(3	)%	2	%	2	%	1	%
Health Care	(1	)%	1	%	—	%	—	%
Fabric Care and Home Care	3	%	3	%	—	%	6	%
Baby, Feminine and Family Care	5	%	1	%	—	%	6	%
Total P&G	2	%	2	%	—	%	4	%

* Acquisition/Divestiture Impacts includes rounding impacts necessary to reconcile net sales to organic sales.

Core EPS: This is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share excluding certain items that are not judged to be part of the Company's sustainable results or trends. This includes current year and prior year charges related to incremental restructuring due to increased focus on productivity and cost savings and prior year charges related to pending European legal matters. We do not view these items to be part of our sustainable results. We believe the Core EPS measure provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year earnings per share growth. Core EPS is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The table below provides a reconciliation of reported diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations to Core EPS:



Three Months Ended September 30	2013			2012
Diluted Net Earnings Per Share	$	1.04		$	0.96
Incremental Restructuring Charges	0.02			0.09
Charges for Pending European Legal Matters	—			0.01
Rounding impacts	(0.01		)	—
CORE EPS	$	1.05		$	1.06
Core EPS Growth	(1		)%

Note - All reconciling items are presented net of tax. Tax effects are calculated consistent with the nature of the underlying transaction. There was no tax impact on EPS due to the charges for pending European legal matters.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending. We view free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in determining the amount of cash available for dividends and discretionary investment.

Free Cash Flow Productivity: Free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of free cash flow to net earnings. The Company’s long-term target is to generate free cash flow at or above 90% of net earnings. Free cash flow productivity is also one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation. The reconciliation of free cash flow and free cash flow productivity is provided below (amounts in millions):



	Operating Cash Flow		Capital Spending			Free Cash Flow	Net Earnings	Free Cash Flow Productivity
Jul - Sept '13	$	2,044	$	(725	)	1,319	$3,057	43%



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk since June 30, 2013. Additional information can be found in Note 5 - Risk Management Activities and Fair Value Measurements, of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 .



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, A.G. Lafley, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Jon R. Moeller, performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Messrs. Lafley and Moeller have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including Messrs. Lafley and Moeller, to allow their timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.

The Company is 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 issues, patent and trademark matters, labor and employment matters and tax. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on certain legal proceedings for which there are contingent liabilities accrued.

Please refer to the Company's Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q for additional information.



Item 1A.	Risk Factors.

We discuss our expectations regarding future performance, events and outcomes, such as our business outlook and objectives in this Form 10-Q, the Annual Report on Form 10-K, other quarterly reports, press releases and other written and oral communications. All statements, except for historical and present factual information, are “forward-looking statements” and are based on financial data and business plans available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become out of date or incomplete. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or other factors. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could significantly differ from our expectations.

The following discussion of “risk factors” identifies the most significant factors that may adversely affect our business, operations, financial position or future financial performance. This information should be read in conjunction with MD&A and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes incorporated in this report. The following discussion of risks is not all inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider when evaluating our expectations. These factors could cause our future results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical trends.

A change in consumer demand for our products and/or lack of market growth could have a significant impact on our business.

We are a consumer products company and rely on continued global demand for our brands and products. To achieve business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to consumers. This is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to develop effective sales, advertising and marketing programs. We expect to achieve our financial targets, in part, by focusing on the most profitable businesses, biggest innovations and most important emerging markets. We also expect to achieve our financial targets, in part, by achieving disproportionate growth in developing regions. If demand for our products and/or market growth rates in either developed or developing markets falls substantially below expected levels or our market share declines significantly in these businesses, our volume, and consequently our results, could be negatively impacted. This

could occur due to, among other things, unforeseen negative economic or political events, changes in consumer trends and habits or negative consumer responses to pricing actions.

The ability to achieve our business objectives is dependent on how well we can compete with our local and global competitors in new and existing markets and channels.

The consumer products industry is highly competitive. Across all of our categories, we compete against a wide variety of global and local competitors. As a result, there are ongoing competitive pressures in the environments in which we operate, as well as challenges in maintaining profit margins. This includes, among other things, increasing competition from mid- and lower-tier value products in both developed and developing markets. To address these challenges, we must be able to successfully respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives and trade terms. In addition, the emergence of new sales channels may affect customer and consumer preferences, as well as market dynamics. Failure to effectively compete in these new channels could negatively impact results.

Our ability to meet our growth targets depends on successful product, marketing and operations innovation and our ability to successfully respond to competitive innovation.

Achieving our business results depends, in part, on the successful development, introduction and marketing of new products and improvements to our equipment and manufacturing processes. Successful innovation depends on our ability to correctly anticipate customer and consumer acceptance, to obtain and maintain necessary intellectual property protections and to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We must also be able to successfully respond to technological advances made by competitors and intellectual property rights granted to competitors. Failure to do so could compromise our competitive position and impact our results.

Our businesses face cost fluctuations and pressures that could affect our business results.

Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, raw materials, labor costs, energy costs, pension and healthcare costs and foreign exchange and interest rates. Therefore, our success is dependent, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost saving projects and sourcing decisions, while maintaining and improving margins and market share. In addition, our financial projections include cost savings described in our announced productivity plan. Failure to deliver these savings could adversely impact our results.

We face risks that are inherent in global manufacturing that could negatively impact our business results.

We need to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including any key sole supplier and sole manufacturing plant arrangements, to achieve our cost targets. While we have business continuity and contingency plans for key manufacturing sites and the supply of raw materials, it may be impracticable to have a sufficient alternative source, particularly when the input materials are in limited supply. In addition, our strategy for global growth includes increased presence in emerging markets. Some emerging markets have greater political volatility and greater vulnerability to infrastructure and labor disruptions than established markets. Any significant disruption of manufacturing, such as labor disputes, loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external factors over which we have no control, could interrupt product supply and, if not remedied, have an adverse impact on our business.

We face risks associated with having significant international operations.

We are a global company, with manufacturing operations in more than 40 countries and a significant portion of our revenue is outside the U.S. Our international operations are subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:


•	compliance with U.S. laws affecting operations outside of the United States, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;


•	compliance with a variety of local regulations and laws;


•	changes in tax laws and the interpretation of those laws;


•	changes in exchange controls and other limits on our ability to repatriate earnings from overseas;


•	discriminatory or conflicting fiscal policies;


•	difficulties enforcing intellectual property and contractual rights in certain jurisdictions;


•	greater risk of uncollectible accounts and longer collection cycles;


•	effective and immediate implementation of control environment processes across our diverse operations and employee base; and


•	imposition of increased or new tariffs, quotas, trade barriers or similar restrictions on our sales outside the United States.

We have sizable businesses and maintain local currency cash balances in a number of foreign countries with exchange, import authorization or pricing controls, including, but not limited to, Venezuela, Argentina, China, India and Egypt. Our results of operations and/or financial condition could be adversely impacted if we are unable to successfully manage these and other risks of international operations in an increasingly volatile environment.

Fluctuations in exchange rates may have an adverse impact on our business results or financial condition.

We hold assets and incur liabilities, earn revenues and pay expenses in a variety of currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the financial statements of our subsidiaries outside the United States are translated into U.S. dollars. Our operations outside of the U.S. generate a significant portion of our net revenue. Fluctuations in exchange rates may therefore adversely impact our business results or financial condition. See also the Results of Operations and Cash Flow, Financial Condition and Liquidity sections of the MD&A and Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We face risks related to changes in the global and political economic environment, including the global capital and credit markets.

Our business is impacted by global economic conditions, which continue to be volatile. Our products are sold in more than 180 countries and territories around the world. If the global economy experiences significant disruptions, our business could be negatively impacted by reduced demand for our products related to: a slow-down in the general economy; supplier, vendor or customer disruptions resulting from tighter credit markets; and/or temporary interruptions in our ability to conduct day-to-day transactions through our financial intermediaries involving the payment to or collection of funds from our customers, vendors and suppliers.

Our objective is to maintain credit ratings that provide us with ready access to global capital and credit markets. Any downgrade of our current credit ratings by a credit rating agency could increase our future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us.

We could also be negatively impacted by political issues or crises in individual countries or regions, including sovereign risk related to a default by or deterioration in the credit worthiness of local governments. For example, we could be adversely impacted by continued instability in the banking and governmental sectors of certain countries in the European Union or the dynamics associated with the federal and state debt and budget challenges in the United States.

Consequently, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage continued global and/or economic uncertainty, especially in our significant geographies, as well as any political or economic disruption. These risks could negatively impact our overall liquidity and financing costs, as well as our ability to collect receipts due from governments, including refunds of value added taxes, and/or create significant credit risks relative to our local customers and depository institutions.

If the reputation of the Company or one or more of our brands erodes significantly, it could have a material impact on our financial results.

The Company's reputation is the foundation of our relationships with key stakeholders and other constituencies, such as customers and suppliers. In addition, many of our brands have worldwide recognition. This recognition is the result of the large investments we have made in our products over many years. The quality and safety of our products is critical to our business. Our Company also devotes significant time and resources to programs designed to protect and preserve our reputation, such as social responsibility and environmental sustainability. If we are unable to effectively manage real or perceived issues, including concerns about safety, quality, efficacy or similar matters, these issues could negatively impact sentiments toward the Company or our products, our ability to operate freely could be impaired and our financial results could suffer. Our financial success is directly dependent on the success of our brands and the success of these brands can suffer if our marketing plans or product initiatives do not have the desired impact on a brand's image or its ability to attract consumers. Our results could also be negatively impacted if one of our brands suffers a substantial impediment to its reputation due to a significant product recall, product-related litigation, allegations of product tampering or the distribution and sale of counterfeit products. In addition, given the association of our individual products with the Company, an issue with one of our products could negatively affect the reputation of our other products, or the Company as a whole, thereby potentially hurting results.

Our ability to successfully manage ongoing organizational change could impact our business results.

We expect to continue to execute a number of significant business and organizational changes, including acquisitions, divestitures and workforce optimization projects to support our growth strategies. We expect these types of changes, which may include many staffing adjustments as well as employee departures, to continue for the foreseeable future. Successfully managing these changes, including retention of particularly key employees, is critical to our business success. Further, ongoing business and organizational changes are likely to result in more reliance on third parties for various services and that reliance may increase reputational, operational and compliance risks, including the risk of corruption. We are generally a build-from-within company, and our success is dependent on identifying, developing and retaining key employees to provide uninterrupted leadership and direction for our business. This includes developing organization capabilities in key growth markets where the depth of skilled or experienced employees may be limited and competition for these resources is intense. Finally, our financial targets assume a consistent level of productivity improvement. If we are unable to deliver expected productivity improvements, while continuing to invest in business growth, our financial results could be adversely impacted.

Our ability to successfully manage ongoing acquisition, joint venture and divestiture activities could impact our business results.

As a company that manages a portfolio of consumer brands, our ongoing business model involves a certain level of acquisition, joint venture and divestiture activities. We must be able to successfully manage the impacts of these activities, while at the same time delivering against our business objectives. Specifically, our financial results could be adversely impacted if: 1) changes in the cash flows or other market-based assumptions cause the value of acquired assets to fall below book value, 2) we are unable to offset the dilutive impacts from the loss of revenue associated with divested brands, or 3) we are not able to deliver the expected cost and growth synergies associated with our acquisitions and joint ventures, which could also have an impact on goodwill and intangible assets. Additionally, joint ventures inherently involve a lesser degree of control over business operations, thereby potentially increasing the financial, legal, operational and/or compliance risks associated with each joint venture.

Our business is subject to changes in legislation, regulation and enforcement, and our ability to manage and resolve pending legal matters in the United States and abroad.

Changes in laws, regulations and related interpretations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements and increased enforcement actions and penalties may alter the environment in which we do business. As a U.S. based multinational company we are subject to tax regulations in the United States and multiple foreign jurisdictions, some of which are interdependent. For example, certain income that is earned and taxed in countries outside the United States is not taxed in the United States, provided those earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. If these or other tax regulations should change, our financial results could be impacted.

There are increasing calls in the United States from members of leadership in both major U.S. political parties for “comprehensive tax reform,” which may significantly change the income tax rules that are applicable to U.S. domiciled corporations, such as P&G. It is very difficult to assess whether the overall effect of such potential legislation would be cumulatively positive or negative for our earnings and cash flows, but such changes could significantly impact our financial results.

In addition, our ability to manage regulatory, environmental, tax and legal matters (including, but not limited to, product liability, patent and other intellectual property matters) and to resolve pending legal matters without significant liability may materially impact our results of operations and financial position. Furthermore, if pending legal matters, including the competition law and antitrust investigations described in Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements result in fines or costs in excess of the amounts accrued to date, that could materially impact our results of operations and financial position.

A significant change in customer relationships or in customer demand for our products could have a significant impact on our business.

We sell most of our products via retail customers, which consist of mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, high-frequency stores, distributors and e-commerce retailers. Our success is dependent on our ability to successfully manage relationships with our retail trade customers. This includes our ability to offer trade terms that are acceptable to our customers and are aligned with our pricing and profitability targets. Our business could suffer if we cannot reach agreement with a key customer based on our trade terms and principles. Our business would be negatively impacted if a key customer were to significantly reduce the inventory level of our products or experience a significant business disruption.

Consolidation among our retail customers could also create significant cost and margin pressure and lead to more complexity across broader geographic boundaries for both us and our key retailers. This would be particularly challenging if major customers are addressing local trade pressures, local law and regulation changes or financial distress.

A failure of one or more key information technology systems, networks, processes, associated sites or service providers could have a material adverse impact on our business or reputation.

We rely extensively on information technology (IT) systems, networks and services, including internet sites, data hosting and processing facilities and tools and other hardware, software and technical applications and platforms, some of which are managed, hosted, provided and/or used by third-parties or their vendors, to assist in conducting our business. The various uses of these IT systems, networks and services include, but are not limited to:


•	ordering and managing materials from suppliers;


•	converting materials to finished products;


•	shipping products to customers;


•	marketing and selling products to consumers;


•	collecting and storing customer, consumer, employee, investor and other stakeholder information and personal data;


•	processing transactions;


•	summarizing and reporting results of operations;


•	hosting, processing and sharing confidential and proprietary research, business plans and financial information;


•	complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements;


•	providing data security; and


•	handling other processes necessary to manage our business.

Increased IT security threats and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a potential risk to the security of our IT systems, networks and services, as well as the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. If the IT systems, networks or service providers we rely upon fail to function properly, or if we suffer a loss or disclosure of business or stakeholder information, due to any number of causes, ranging from catastrophic events to power outages to security breaches, and our business continuity plans do not effectively address these failures on a timely basis, we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage operations and reputational, competitive and/or business harm, which may adversely impact our results of operations and/or financial condition.
