New York, New York, August 1, 2025…Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL) today reported results for second quarter 2025. Noel Wallace, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Base Business second quarter results, “I am pleased that Colgate-Palmolive people achieved another quarter of net sales, organic sales and earnings per

share growth in the face of continued difficult market conditions worldwide, with organic sales growth improving sequentially versus the first quarter despite an even greater negative impact from lower private label pet sales.

“We feel we are well positioned to deal with the year-to-date volatility in category growth and uncertainty in global markets. Guided by our strategic framework, including our focus on innovation and the strength of our global portfolio, our teams on the ground continue to execute with excellence and focus to achieve our 2025 financial targets.”
Separately, the Company today announced a new three-year productivity program to drive future growth and support the Company’s 2030 strategy. The program includes initiatives to better align the Company’s organizational structure to support its strategic initiatives, optimize the Company’s global supply chain to drive agility and efficiencies and simplify and streamline its organizational structure to reduce overhead costs. The productivity program is projected to result in cumulative pre-tax charges, once all initiatives are approved and implemented, totaling between $200 and $300 million over the course of the three-year program. It is expected that substantially all charges resulting from the productivity program will be incurred by December 31, 2028.

Full Year 2025 Guidance
Based on current spot rates and including the estimated impact of tariffs announced and finalized as of July 31, 2025:
The Company still expects net sales to be up low single digits, now including a flat to low-single-digit negative impact from foreign exchange.
The Company now expects organic sales growth to be at the low end of 2% to 4%, including the impact over the course of 2025 of the planned exit from private label pet sales.
On a GAAP basis, the Company still expects both gross profit margin and advertising investment to be roughly flat as a percentage of net sales, and earnings per share to be up low single digits.
On a non-GAAP (Base Business) basis, the Company still expects both gross profit margin and advertising to be roughly flat as a percentage of net sales, and earnings per share to be up low single digits.

Market Share Information
Management uses market share information as a key indicator to monitor business health and performance. References to market share in this press release are based on a combination of consumption and market share data provided by third-party vendors, primarily Nielsen, and internal estimates. All market share references represent the percentage of the dollar value of sales of our products, relative to all product sales in the category in the countries in which the Company competes and purchases data (excluding Venezuela from all periods).
Market share data is subject to limitations on the availability of up-to-date information. In particular, market share data is currently not generally available for certain retail channels, such as eCommerce and certain club retailers and discounters. The Company measures year-to-date market shares from January 1 of the relevant year through the most recent period for which market share data is available, which typically reflects a lag time of one or two months. The Company believes that the third-party vendors it uses to provide data are reliable, but it has not verified the accuracy or completeness of the data or any assumptions underlying the data. In addition, market share information reported by the Company may be different from market share information reported by other companies due to differences in category definitions, the use of data from different countries, internal estimates and other factors.



Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and the related webcast may contain forward-looking statements (as that term is defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in its rules, regulations and releases) that set forth anticipated results based on managements current plans and assumptions. Such statements may relate, for example, to sales or volume growth, net selling price increases, organic sales growth, profit or profit margin levels, earnings per share levels, financial goals, the impact of foreign exchange, the impact of tariffs, the impact of geopolitical conflicts and tensions, such as the war in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, tensions between China and Taiwan and global trade relations, cost reduction plans (including the productivity program announced on August 1, 2025), tax rates, interest rates, new product introductions, digital capabilities, commercial investment levels, acquisitions, divestitures, share repurchases or legal or tax proceedings, among other matters. These statements are made on the basis of the Companys views and assumptions as of this time and the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Moreover, the Company does not, nor does any other person, assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements. The Company cautions investors that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual events or results may differ materially from those statements. For more information about factors that could impact the Companys business and cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, investors should refer to the Companys filings with the SEC (including, but not limited to, the information set forth under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements” in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and subsequent filings with the SEC). Copies of these filings may be obtained upon request from the Companys Investor Relations Department or on the Companys website at www.colgatepalmolive.com.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following provides definitions and other information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and the related prepared materials and webcast, which may not be the same as or comparable to similar measures presented by other companies:
Base Business: Base Business refers to non-GAAP measures of operating results that exclude certain items. Base Business operating results exclude, as applicable, charges resulting from the ERISA litigation matter and the 2022 Global Productivity Initiative and acquisition-related costs.
Organic sales growth: Net sales growth excluding the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestments.
Free cash flow before dividends: Net cash provided by operations less Capital expenditures.

This press release discusses Net sales growth (GAAP) and Organic sales growth (non-GAAP). Management believes the organic sales growth measure provides investors and analysts with useful supplemental information regarding the Companys underlying sales trends by presenting sales growth excluding the external factor of foreign exchange as well as the impact from acquisitions and divestments. See “Geographic Sales Analysis Percentage Changes” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 versus 2024 included with this release for a comparison of Organic sales growth to Net sales growth in accordance with GAAP.

Gross profit, Gross profit margin, Selling, general and administrative expenses, Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales, Other (income) expense, net, Operating profit, Operating profit margin, Non-service related postretirement costs, Effective income tax rate, Net income attributable to Colgate-Palmolive Company and Diluted earnings per common share are disclosed on both an as reported (GAAP) and Base Business (non-GAAP) basis. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that, either by their nature or amount, management would not expect to occur as part of the Companys normal business on a regular basis, such as restructuring charges, charges for certain litigation and tax matters, acquisition-related costs, gains and losses from certain divestitures and certain other unusual, non-recurring items. Investors and analysts use these financial measures in assessing the Companys business performance, and management believes that presenting these financial measures on a non-GAAP basis provides them with useful supplemental information to enhance their understanding of the Companys underlying business performance and trends. These non-GAAP financial measures also enhance the ability to compare period-to-period financial results. See Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 included with this release for a reconciliation of these financial measures to the related GAAP measures.

The Company uses these financial measures internally in its budgeting process, to evaluate segment and overall operating performance and as factors in determining compensation. While the Company believes that these financial measures are useful in evaluating the Companys underlying business performance and trends, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

As management uses free cash flow before dividends to evaluate the Companys ability to satisfy current and future obligations, pay dividends, fund future business opportunities and repurchase stock, the Company believes that it provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow before dividends is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. See Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 for a comparison of free cash flow before dividends to Net cash provided by operations as reported in accordance with GAAP.
