To facilitate this transaction, we entered into an Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Buyer, pursuant to which we will, among other things, effectuate a reorganization through the transfer of certain assets, liabilities and equity interests of the IFP Business to Kimberly-Clark IFP NewCo B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Joint Venture"). At the time of closing, which is expected to take place in mid-2026 and will only take place following the satisfaction of consultation requirements and customary closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory approvals, Buyer will acquire a 51 % interest in the Joint Venture for a purchase price of approximately $ 1.7 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and we will retain a 49 % equity interest (the "IFP Transaction").

In accordance with ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements , we determined the IFP Transaction represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the results of the IFP Business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Further, the assets and liabilities of the IFP Business are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented, and the Company has ceased depreciating and amortizing the long-lived assets of the IFP Business. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures in the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect only Kimberly-Clark's continuing operations. See Note 3 for additional details.

Highly Inflationary Accounting

GAAP requires the use of highly inflationary accounting for countries whose cumulative three-year inflation exceeds 100%. Under highly inflationary accounting, the countries’ functional currency becomes the U.S. dollar, and its income statement and balance sheet are measured in U.S. dollars using both current and historical rates of exchange.

As of July 1, 2018, we adopted highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiaries in Argentina (“K-C Argentina”). The effect of changes in exchange rates on peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in Other (income) and expense, net. As of September 30, 2025 , K-C Argentina had an immaterial net peso monetary position. Net sales of K-C Argentina were approximately 1 % of our consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 .

As of April 1, 2022, we adopted highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiary in Türkiye (“K-C Türkiye ”). The effect of changes in exchange rates on lira-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in Other (income) and expense, net. As of September 30, 2025 , K-C Türkiye had an immaterial net lira monetary position. Net sales of K-C Türkiye were less than 1 % of our consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 .

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) . The new guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of annual income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220) . The new guidance requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of disaggregated information about specific expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Topic 350) to modernize the accounting guidance for internal-use software costs. The new guidance eliminates software development stages and clarifies when to begin capitalizing eligible software costs. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects or a retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. 2024 Transformation Initiative

On March 27, 2024, we announced the 2024 Transformation Initiative intended to improve our focus on growth and reduce our structural cost base by realigning our internal operating and management structure to streamline our global supply chain and improve the efficiency of our corporate and regional overhead cost structures. The transformation is expected to impact our organization in all major geographies, and workforce reductions are expected to be in the range of 4 % to 5 %. Certain actions under the 2024 Transformation Initiative are being finalized for implementation, and accounting for such actions will commence when the actions are authorized for execution.

The 2024 Transformation Initiative is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with total costs anticipated to be approximately $ 1.5 billion pre-tax. Cash costs are expected to be approximately 60 % of that amount, primarily related to workforce reductions and other program costs. Expected non-cash charges are primarily related to incremental depreciation and asset write-offs, including losses associated with the expected exit of certain markets. Through September 30, 2025, cumulative pre-tax charges for the 2024 Transformation Initiative were $ 718 ($ 561 after-tax).

The following charges were incurred in connection with the 2024 Transformation Initiative:

Note 3. Discontinued Operations

As disclosed in Note 1, on June 5, 2025, we announced the sale of a controlling equity interest in a newly formed Joint Venture comprised of our IFP Business. At the time of closing, Buyer will acquire a 51 % interest in the Joint Venture for a purchase price of approximately $ 1.7 billion, subject to certain post-closing adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement. We will retain a 49 % equity interest in the Joint Venture which we expect will initially be recorded at fair value and subsequently accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2026, pending the satisfaction of consultation requirements and customary closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory approvals, set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

As a result of the IFP Transaction, we incurred separation costs of $ 17 and $ 50 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, which are included in the reported amounts above. These costs were primarily related to external advisory, legal, accounting, contractor and other incremental costs directly related to the IFP Transaction.

Joint Venture Agreement and Ancillary Agreements

Upon the closing, K-C, Buyer and the Joint Venture will enter into a joint venture agreement (the "JVA"), which will set forth provisions relating to, among other things, the governance of the Joint Venture following closing, transfer restrictions with respect to the parties’ interests in the Joint Venture, and the option of Buyer to purchase K-C's equity interests in the Joint Venture. We will also enter into certain ancillary agreements including intellectual property rights, transition services agreements (the "TSA") and transitional supply arrangements (the "Supply Agreements"). Pursuant to the TSA, K-C will provide certain services to the Joint Venture, on an interim, transitional basis from and after the closing for an initial duration of 18 months, with certain extension rights provided therein. Pursuant to the Supply Agreements, K-C will manufacture and supply certain products to the Joint Venture and, similarly, the Joint Venture will manufacture and supply certain products to K-C for a period of up to 36 months following the closing with certain extension rights provided therein.

Note 4 . Divestitures

On July 1, 2024, we completed the sale transaction of our former personal protective equipment ("PPE") business for total consideration of $ 635 . Upon closure of the transaction, a pre-tax gain of $ 566 ($ 453 after-tax) was recognized in Other (income) and expense, net. This gain is net of transaction costs of $ 14 that were determined to be directly attributable to the sale transaction.

See Note 3, Acquisitions and Divestitures, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further information.

Note 5. Impairment of Intangible Assets

During the third quarter of 2024, we revised internal financial projections for our Softex and Thinx businesses to reflect updated expectations of future financial performance in light of current performance and as part of our re-organization efforts discussed in Note 2. As part of these revisions, we performed impairment assessments for our indefinite-lived brand names and finite-lived intangible assets, primarily brand names and distributor relationships. As a result of these assessments, we recognized impairment charges of $ 97 pre-tax ($ 57 after-tax) to write-down these intangible assets to their respective fair values.

See Note 4, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further information.

Note 6. Fair Value Information

The following fair value information is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable.

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the full year 2024, there were no significant transfers to or from level 3 fair value determinations.

Derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis at fair value. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, derivative assets were $ 73 and $ 189 , respectively, and derivative liabilities were $ 208 and $ 137 , respectively. The fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and commodity price risk are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and interest rate swap curves and on commodity price quotations, respectively. The fair values of hedging instruments used to manage foreign currency risk are based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. Measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities is considered a level 2 measurement. See Note 10 for additional information on our use of derivative instruments.

Redeemable preferred securities of subsidiaries are measured on a recurring basis at their estimated redemption values, which approximate fair value. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the securities were valued at $ 37 . The s ecurities are not traded in active markets, and their measurement is considered a level 3 measurement.

Company-owned life insurance ("COLI") assets are measured on a recurring basis at fair value. COLI assets were $ 71 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 . The COLI policies are a source of funding primarily for our nonqualified employee benefits and are included in Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The COLI policies are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient, and therefore, are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table includes the fair value of our financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required:


	Fair Value Hierarchy Level	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
		September 30, 2025				December 31, 2024
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents (a)	1	$	617	$	617	$	1,010	$	1,010
Time deposits (b)	1	160		160		181		181
Non-US government bonds (c)	2	—		—		15		15
Liabilities
Short-term debt (d)	2	421		421		3		3

Long-term debt (e)	2	6,883		6,508		7,415		6,828

(a) Cash equivalents are composed of certificates of deposit, time deposits and other interest-bearing investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

(b) Time deposits are composed of deposits with original maturities of more than 90 days but less than one year and instruments with original maturities of greater than one year, included in Other current assets or Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as appropriate. Time deposits are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

(c) Non-US government bonds are composed of foreign issued debt securities that are classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. These securities are recorded at amortized cost and are included in Other current assets or Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as appropriate.

(d) Short-term debt is composed of U.S. commercial paper and/or other similar short-term debt issued by non-U.S. subsidiaries, all of which are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

(e) Long-term debt includes the current portion of these debt instruments. Fair values were estimated based on quoted prices for financial instruments for which all significant inputs were observable, either directly or indirectly.

Note 7. Income Taxes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded incremental tax charges of approximately $ 130 primarily relating to a valuation allowance on current and prior year U.S. foreign tax credits. Of these total charges, approximately $ 96 was associated with the realizability of our prior year U.S. foreign tax credits.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was 45.4 % and 19.4 %, respectively, and 30.6 % and 19.1 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increases relative to the prior periods were primarily driven by the valuation allowance charges relating to the enactment of OBBBA discussed above and the resolution of certain tax matters in the prior year.

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") were calculated as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30
(In millions, except per share amounts)	2025		2024		2025		2024
Income From Continuing Operations	$	344	$	823	$	1,258	$	1,843
Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	( 8 )		( 8 )		( 17 )		( 28 )
Income From Continuing Operations Attributable to Kimberly-Clark Corporation	336		815		1,241		1,815
Income From Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes	110		92		281		283
Net Income Attributable to Kimberly-Clark Corporation	$	446	$	907	$	1,522	$	2,098

Weighted-Average Common Shares
Basic	331.8		335.7		331.9		336.6
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share unit awards	1.3		1.5		1.3		1.3
Diluted	333.1		337.2		333.2		337.9

Basic:
Continuing Operations	$	1.01	$	2.43	$	3.74	$	5.39
Discontinued Operations	0.33		0.27		0.85		0.84
Basic Earnings per Share	$	1.34	$	2.70	$	4.59	$	6.23

Diluted:
Continuing Operations	$	1.01	$	2.42	$	3.73	$	5.37
Discontinued Operations	0.33		0.27		0.84		0.84
Diluted Earnings per Share	$	1.34	$	2.69	$	4.57	$	6.21

We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based awards. Options outstanding not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares were not material. The number of common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 was 331.9 million and 333.5 million, respectively.

Note 9. Stockholders' Equity

Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except those in highly inflationary economies, are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). For these operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, unrealized translation adjustments are recorded in AOCI rather than net income. Upon sale or substantially complete liquidation of any of these subsidiaries, the applicable unrealized translation adjustment would be removed from AOCI and reported as part of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation. The change in unrealized currency translation for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to the strengthening of certain foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar.

Also included in unrealized translation amounts are the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature and transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments.

The changes in the components of AOCI attributable to Kimberly-Clark, net of tax, are as follows:


	Unrealized Translation			Defined Benefit Pension Plans			Other Postretirement Benefit Plans			Cash Flow Hedges
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	( 2,678 )		$	( 791 )		$	39		$	( 152 )
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications	( 90 )			( 10 )			1			19
(Income) loss reclassified from AOCI	43		(b)	23		(a)	( 2 )		(a)	38		(c)
Net current period other comprehensive income (loss)	( 47 )			13			( 1 )			57

Balance as of September 30, 2024	$	( 2,725 )		$	( 778 )		$	38		$	( 95 )

Balance as of December 31, 2024	$	( 3,068 )		$	( 775 )		$	47		$	30
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications	355			( 22 )			4			( 117 )
(Income) loss reclassified from AOCI	—			25		(a)	( 3 )		(a)	26		(c)
Net current period other comprehensive income (loss)	355			3			1			( 91 )

Balance as of September 30, 2025	$	( 2,713 )		$	( 772 )		$	48		$	( 61 )

(a) Included in Nonoperating expense as part of the computation of net periodic benefit costs.

(b) Included in Other (income) and expense, net as part of the charges related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative (see Note 2).

(c) Included in Interest expense, Cost of products sold or Other (income) and expense, net, based on the income statement line that the hedged exposure affects earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, pre-tax losses of $ 20 were reclassified into Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes due to the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting as a result of the IFP Transaction (see Note 10 for further details) .

Note 10. Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivatives

As a multinational enterprise, we are exposed to financial risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest r ates, and commodity prices. We employ a number of practices to manage these risks, including operating and financing activities and, where appropriate, the use of derivative instruments.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, derivative assets were $ 73 and $ 189 , respectively, and derivative liabilities were $ 208 and $ 137 , respectively, primarily comprised of foreign currency exchange, interest rate and commodity price contracts. Derivative assets are recorded in Other current assets or Other Assets, as appropriate, and derivative liabilities are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other Liabilities, as appropriate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Translation adjustments result from translating foreign entities' financial statements into U.S. dollars from their functional currencies. The risk to any particular entity's net assets is reduced to the extent that the entity is financed with local currency borrowings. A portion of our balance sheet translation exposure for certain affiliates, which results from changes in translation rates between the affiliates’ functional currencies and the U.S. dollar, is hedged with cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt which are designated as net investment hedges. The foreign currency exposure on certain non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany loans and accounts payable, is hedged primarily with undesignated derivative instruments.

Derivative instruments are used to hedge a portion of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies for non-U.S. operations' purchases of raw materials, which are priced in U.S. dollars, and imports of intercompany finished goods and work-in-process priced predominantly in U.S. dollars and euros. The derivative instruments used to manage these exposures are designated as cash flow hedges.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is managed using a portfolio of variable and fixed-rate debt composed of short and long-term instruments. Interest rate swap contracts may be used to facilitate the maintenance of the desired ratio of variable and fixed-rate debt and are designated as fair value hedges. From time to time, we also hedge the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt, and these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

Commodity Price Risk

We use derivative instruments, such as commodity forward and price swap contracts, to hedge a portion of our exposure to market risk arising from changes in prices of certain commodities. These derivatives are primarily designated as cash flow hedges of specific quantities of the underlying commodity expected to be purchased in future months. In addition, we utilize negotiated contracts of varying durations along with strategic pricing mechanisms to manage volatility for a portion of our commodity costs.

Fair Value Hedges

Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are predominantly used to manage interest rate risk. The fair values of these derivative instruments are recorded as an asset or liability, as appropriate, with the offset recorded in Interest expense. The offset to the change in fair values of the related debt is also recorded in Interest expense. Any realized gain or loss on the derivatives that hedge interest rate risk is amortized to Interest expense over the life of the related debt. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate notional values and carrying values of debt subject to outstanding interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges were $ 425 and $ 401 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, gains or losses recognized in Interest expense for interest rate swaps were not material.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially recorded in AOCI, net of related income taxes, and recognized in earnings in the same income statement line and period that the hedged exposure affects earnings. As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate notional value of outstanding foreign exchange and commodity derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $ 2.6 billion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for certain foreign exchange and commodity instruments with a notional value of $ 694 because the forecasted transactions, primarily relating to the IFP Business, were no longer probable of occurring. As a result, pre-tax losses of $ 20 were reclassified from AOCI into Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, no material gains or losses were reclassified from AOCI into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2025, losses expected to be reclassified from AOCI into Interest expense, Cost of products sold or Other (income) and expense, net during the next twelve months are $ 25 . The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place as of September 30, 2025 is August 2028.

Net Investment Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the aggregate notional value was $ 1.2 billion as of September 30, 2025. We exclude the interest accruals on cross-currency swap contracts and the forward points on foreign exchange forward contracts from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness. We recognize the interest accruals on cross-currency swap contracts in earnings within Interest expense. We amortize the forward points on foreign exchange contracts into earnings within Interest expense over the life of the hedging relationship. Unrealized gains and losses related to changes in fair value of net investment hedges are recorded in AOCI and offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. Unrealized gains of $ 29 and unrealized losses of $ 40 were recorded in AOCI for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unrealized losses of $ 119 and unrealized gains of $ 5 were recorded in AOCI for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no material amounts were reclassified from AOCI to Interest expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no material amounts were excluded from the assessment of net investment, fair value or cash flow hedge effectiveness.

Undesignated Hedging Instruments

Gains or losses on undesignated foreign exchange and commodity hedging instruments are immediately recognized in Other (income) and expense, net. Losses of $ 10 and gains of $ 54 were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gains of $ 52 and $ 22 were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by the transactional gains and losses recorded on the underlying assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2025, the notional value of these undesignated derivative instruments was approximately $ 5.3 billion.

Note 11. Segment Reporting

The Company's continuing operations are organized into two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America ("NA") and International Personal Care ("IPC").

These segments differ from those used in prior periods due to changes to our reportable segments effective in the fourth quarter of 2024 (refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details) and the following changes effective in the second quarter of 2025:

IFP Transaction

As a result of the IFP Transaction discussed in Notes 1 and 3, the results of operations and applicable assets and liabilities of the IFP Business are reported as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements and are excluded from segment results for all periods presented. This includes certain costs that were previously allocated to the IPC segment that relate to assets or activities that are part of the IFP Transaction. These costs have been removed from the results of the IPC segment and are reported as discontinued operations. Additionally, certain operations and commercial activities of the former IFP segment retained by K-C are now reported in the NA and IPC segments.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other was updated for all periods presented to include the following:

• Operations of the former IFP segment that were divested prior to the IFP Transaction and therefore not reported as discontinued operations.

• Costs previously allocated to the former IFP segment that are not directly attributable to the operations included in the IFP Transaction and therefore are not reported as discontinued operations.

The reportable segments were determined in accordance with how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), develops and executes global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses. The primary measure of segment profitability utilized by our CODM is segment operating profit. Our CODM uses this measure to assess the operating results and performance of our segments, perform analytical comparisons to budget and allocate resources to each segment. Segment operating profit excludes Corporate & Other, which primarily encompasses certain unallocated general corporate expenses, impairment charges, one-time (gains) or losses associated with acquisitions and divestitures, costs related to our reorganization activities that are not associated with the ongoing operations of the segments, certain operations of the former IFP segment that were divested prior to the IFP Transaction, and costs previously allocated to the former IFP segment that aren't reported as discontinued operations. Our CODM does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources. Therefore, we do not disclose assets by segment.

The principal sources of revenue in each segment are described below:

• North America consists of products encompassing each of our five global daily-need categories across consumer and professional channels including disposable diapers, training and youth pants, swimpants, baby wipes, feminine and incontinence care products, reusable underwear, facial and bathroom tissue, paper towels, napkins, wipers, tissue, towels, soaps and sanitizers and other related products. These products are sold under the Huggies, Pull-Ups, GoodNites, Kotex, Poise, Depend, Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva, Wypall and other brand names.

• International Personal Care consists of three core categories — Baby & Child Care, Adult Care and Feminine Care, including disposable diapers, training and youth pants, swimpants, baby wipes, feminine and incontinence care products, reusable underwear and other related products. These products are sold under the Huggies, Kotex, Goodfeel, Intimus, Depend and other brand names.

Supplier Finance Program

We have a supplier finance program managed through two global financial institutions under which we agree to pay the financial institutions the stated amount of confirmed invoices from our participating suppliers on the invoice due date. We, or the global financial institutions, may terminate our agreements at any time upon 30 days written notice. The global financial institutions may terminate our agreements at any time upon three days written notice in the event there are insufficient funds available for disbursement. We do not provide any forms of guarantees under these agreements. Supplier participation in the program is solely up to the supplier, and the participating suppliers negotiate their arrangements directly with the global financial institutions. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the program, and their participation has no bearing on our payment terms or amounts due. The payment terms that we have with our suppliers under this program generally range from 75 to 180 days and are considered commercially reasonable. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding amounts related to the suppliers participating in this program were $ 1.0 billion, of which $ 192 and $ 185 , respectively, are reported as discontinued operations. Amounts are recorded within Trade accounts payable and Current liabilities of discontinued operations.

Note 13. Legal Matters

As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we received certain requests from the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) concerning allegations of violations of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in connection with the manufacturing, marketing and sale of surgical gowns by our former health care business, Avanos Medical, Inc. (previously Halyard Health, Inc.). During the third quarter of 2025, we entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the “DPA”) with the DOJ that resolved the DOJ’s investigation. Pursuant to the DPA, the Company is responsible for making certain monetary payments that are not expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Introduction

This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our recent performance, financial condition, cash flows and future prospects. The following MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our analysis compares results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the same period in 2024. As discussed in the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the results and related assets and liabilities of the IFP Business are reported as discontinued operations. As a result, unless specifically stated, all discussions included below reflect continuing operations for all periods presented. Amounts are reported in millions of dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted. The following will be discussed and analyzed:

• Overview of Business and Recent Developments

• Results of Operations

• Liquidity and Capital Resources

Throughout this MD&A, we refer to 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. We believe these measures provide our investors with additional information about our underlying results and trends, as well as insight to some of the financial measures used to evaluate management. For additional information and reconciliations to the most closely comparable financial measures presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, see "Summary of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Overview of Business and Recent Developments

We are a global company focused on delivering products and solutions that provide better care for a better world, with manufacturing facilities in 30 countries, including our equity affiliates, and products sold in more than 175 countries and territories. Our products are sold under well-known brands such as Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex and Depend.

Changes to U.S. trade policy, including increasing tariffs on imports have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. We estimate that the incremental costs of the new tariffs that are currently in effect in the U.S., as well as in other markets in which we operate, to be approximately $100 in 2025, most of which will be incurred by the North America segment. We are continuing to evaluate these developments and our ability to offset a portion of these costs to mitigate the impact on our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition.

International Family Care and Professional ("IFP") Transaction

On June 5, 2025, we announced that the Company will form a joint venture with Suzano S.A. ("Suzano") and Suzano International Holding B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano ("Buyer"), comprised of substantially all the operations of the Company's former IFP segment (the "IFP Business"). To facilitate this transaction, we entered into an Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Buyer, pursuant to which we will, among other things, effectuate a reorganization through the transfer of certain assets, liabilities and equity interests of the IFP Business to Kimberly-Clark IFP NewCo B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Joint Venture"). At the time of closing, which is expected to take place in mid-2026 and will only take place following the satisfaction of consultation requirements and customary closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory approvals, Buyer will acquire a 51% interest in the Joint Venture for a purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and we will retain a 49% equity interest (the "IFP Transaction"). As a result, the results of operations and applicable assets and liabilities of the IFP Business are reported as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements for all periods presented and the Company has ceased depreciating and amortizing the long-lived assets of the IFP Business. See Item 1, Notes 1 and 3 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

As a result of the IFP Transaction discussed above and the changes to our reportable segments effective in the fourth quarter of 2024 (refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details), the Company's continuing operations are now organized into two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America ("NA")

and International Personal Care ("IPC"). The results of the IFP Business, including certain costs that were previously allocated to the IPC segment that relate to assets or activities that are part of the IFP Transaction, are reported as discontinued operations and excluded from segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, certain operations and commercial activities of the former IFP segment retained by the Company are now reported in the NA and IPC segments. Further, Corporate and Other was updated for all periods presented to include the following:

• Operations of the former IFP segment that were divested prior to the IFP Transaction and therefore not reported as discontinued operations.

Segments are described in greater detail in Item 1, Note 11 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2024 Transformation Initiative

The 2024 Transformation Initiative is designed to sharpen our strategic focus through a new operating model that leverages three synergistic forces:

• Accelerating pioneering innovation to capture significant growth available in our categories by investing in science and technology to satisfy unmet and evolving consumer needs;

• Optimizing our margin structure to deliver superior consumer propositions and implement initiatives and deploy technology and data analytics designed to create a fast, adaptable, integrated supply chain with greater visibility that can deliver continuous improvement; and

• Wiring our organization for growth to drive agility, speed, and focused execution that extends our competitive advantages further into the future and improves the efficiency of our corporate and regional overhead cost structures.

The transformation is expected to impact our organization in all major geographies, and workforce reductions are expected to be in the range of 4% to 5%. Certain actions under the 2024 Transformation Initiative are being finalized for implementation, and accounting for such actions will commence when the actions are authorized for execution. The 2024 Transformation Initiative is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. Total pre-tax savings are expected to be $3.0 billion in gross productivity; inclusive of input cost and manufacturing cost savings, and $200 in selling, general and administrative expenses. Total costs are anticipated to be approximately $1.5 billion pre-tax. Cash costs are expected to be approximately 60% of that amount, primarily related to workforce reductions and other program costs. Expected non-cash charges are primarily related to incremental depreciation and asset write-offs, including losses associated with the expected exit of certain markets. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, total 2024 Transformation Initiative charges were $62 pre-tax ($50 after-tax) and $124 pre-tax ($106 after-tax), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, total 2024 Transformation Initiative charges were $261 pre-tax ($222 after-tax), and $359 pre-tax ($257 after-tax), respectively. Through September 30, 2025, cumulative pre-tax charges for the 2024 Transformation Initiative were $718 ($561 after-tax).

Divestiture Activity

On July 1, 2024, we completed the sale transaction of our former personal protective equipment ("PPE") business for total consideration of $635. Upon closure of the transaction, a pre-tax gain of $566 ($453 after-tax) was recognized in Other (income) and expense, net. This gain is net of transaction costs of $14 that were determined to be directly attributable to the sale transaction.

War in Ukraine

Consistent with the humanitarian nature of our products, we manufacture and sell only essential items in Russia, such as baby diapers and feminine pads, which are critical to the health and hygiene of women, girls and babies. Beginning in March 2022, we significantly adjusted our business in Russia, substantially curtailing media, advertising and promotional activity and suspending capital investments, other than certain maintenance investments, in our sole manufacturing facility in Russia. Our Russia business has represented approximately 1% to 2% of our global net sales, operating profit and total assets. Our ability to continue our operations in Russia may change as the situation evolves. We have experienced high input costs, supply chain complexities, reduced consumer demand, restricted access to raw materials and production assets, and restricted access to financial institutions, as well as supply chain, professional services, monetary, currency, trade and payment/investment

sanctions and related controls. As the business, geopolitical and regulatory environment concerning Russia evolves, we may not be able to sustain the limited manufacture and sale of our products, and our assets may be partially or fully impaired.

(a) Total may not sum across due to rounding.

(b) Represents the change in net sales excluding the impacts of currency translation and divestitures and business exits. Organic Sales Growth is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Summary of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliations of our GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

(c) Impact of the sale of the PPE business, the exit of the Company's private label diaper business in the United States, and other exited businesses and markets in conjunction with the 2024 Transformation Initiative.

Net sales of $4.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were in line with the prior year, as divestitures and business exits were offset by organic sales growth. Organic sales increased 2.5% driven by volume gains of 2.4%, while price and mix were relatively flat compared to the prior year.

Net sales of $12.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 declined 2.6%, primarily driven by divestitures and business exits and unfavorable currency impacts, partially offset by organic sales growth. Organic sales increased 1.6% driven by volume gains of 2.4%, partially offset by lower pricing.

Gross and Operating Profits

Gross profit of $1.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased 4.5%, while gross margin of 36.0% decreased 170 basis points. Gross margin in the current and prior year included approximately 80 basis points for charges related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative, primarily for incremental depreciation expense, workforce reductions and asset write-offs. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to unfavorable pricing net of cost inflation, including tariff impacts, and supply chain related investments, partially offset by gross productivity savings from integrated margin management of approximately $125.

Gross profit of $4.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased 8.0%, while gross margin of 36.0% decreased 210 basis points. Gross margin in the current and prior year included approximately 140 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively, for charges related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative, primarily for incremental depreciation expense, workforce reductions and asset write-offs. Excluding these charges, adjusted gross margin decreased 130 basis points to 37.4% primarily due to unfavorable pricing net of cost inflation, including tariff impacts, and supply chain related investments, partially offset by gross productivity savings from integrated margin management of approximately $325.

Operating profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $621 and $1.8 billion, respectively, compared to $1.0 billion and $2.3 billion in the prior year. Results included charges related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative of $62 and $258 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $124 and $359 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Results in 2024 also included a $565 gain from the sale of our PPE business and charges of $97 for the impairment of intangible assets. Excluding these items, adjusted operating profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $683 and $2.1 billion, respectively, compared to $682 and $2.2 billion in the prior year.

Drivers of the changes in adjusted operating profit were:


Percent Change in Adjusted Operating Profit	Volume	Net Price	Input Costs	Other Manufacturing Costs (a)	Currency Translation	Other (b)	Total (c)
Three Months Ended	1.4	(1.4)	(7.1)	(2.1)	0.1	9.2	0.1
Nine Months Ended	1.2	(5.3)	(7.5)	1.0	(0.8)	8.2	(3.2)

(a) Includes net impact of productivity initiatives, product and supply chain investments and other changes in cost of products sold.

(b) Includes impact of changes in product mix, marketing, research and general expenses and other (income) and expense, net.

(c) Adjusted Operating Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Summary of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliations of our GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

Adjusted operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was in line with the prior year as lower adjusted gross profit discussed above, coupled with a 210 basis point impact from divestitures and business exits was offset by lower marketing, research and general expenses.

The decrease in adjusted operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 resulted from lower net sales and adjusted gross profit discussed above, coupled with a 400 basis point impact from divestitures and business exits and unfavorable currency impacts, partially offset by lower marketing, research and general expenses.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from Continuing Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $344 and $1.3 billion, respectively, compared to $823 and $1.8 billion in the prior year. Apart from the operating profit drivers discussed above, the decrease was primarily related to a higher effective tax rate and lower income from equity companies.

Our share of net income of equity companies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $46 and $137, respectively, compared to $48 and $172 for the prior year. The decrease for the nine months ended was primarily driven by Kimberly-Clark de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V., due to unfavorable foreign currency effects, higher inputs costs and lower volumes, partially offset by pricing, productivity savings and lower general and administrative expenses.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 45.4% and 30.6%, respectively, compared to 19.4% and 19.1% in the prior year. The increases in each period were primarily driven by incremental tax charges as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) relating to a valuation allowance on current and prior year U.S. foreign tax credits. The adjusted effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2025 was 26.5% and 22.6%, respectively, compared to 21.5% and 21.7% in the prior year. The increases were driven primarily by transitory impacts from OBBBA and the resolution of certain tax matters in the prior year.

Diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $1.01 and $3.73, respectively, compared to $2.42 and $5.37 for the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $1.45 and $4.70, respectively, representing a 7.1% and 5.2% decrease compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower adjusted operating profit, higher income tax expense caused by OBBBA, and lower income from equity companies, which more than offset the benefits from lower dilutive shares outstanding.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes

Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $110 compared to $92 in the prior year. The increase was driven by a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $30, partially offset by pre-tax separation costs of $17.

Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $281 compared to $283 in the prior year, as pre-tax separation charges of $50 were largely offset by a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $40.

Net Sales	$	2,714	$	2,735	(0.8)	%	$	8,112	$	8,294	(2.2)	%
Operating Profit	640		641		(0.2)	%	1,973		1,992		(1.0)	%

Net sales of $2.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased 0.8% due to the exit of the private label diaper business in the US, partially offset by organic sales growth. Organic sales increased 2.7% primarily from volume gains of 2.6%, driven by Baby & Child Care, Adult & Fem Care and Professional categories. Net sales of $8.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased 2.2% from a combination of the sale of the PPE business and the exit of the private label diaper business in the US, partially offset by organic sales growth. Organic sales increased 2.1% driven by volume gains of 2.6%, with all categories growing volume, partially offset by lower pricing and mix.

Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $640 was in line with the prior year, as impacts from divestitures and business exits (approximately 220 basis points) were offset by gross productivity savings and lower marketing, research and general expenses. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $2.0 billion decreased 1.0%, primarily due to divestitures and business exits (approximately 340 basis points), unfavorable pricing net of cost inflation, including tariff impacts, and supply chain related investments, partially offset by gross productivity savings and lower marketing, research and general expenses.

	Three Months Ended September 30						Nine Months Ended September 30
	2025		2024		% Change		2025		2024		% Change

Operating Profit	214		201		6.5	%	597		661		(9.7)	%

Net sales of $1.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 1.9% primarily due to a 2.1% increase in organic sales. Organic sales benefited from volume and mix gains of 2.0% and 1.6%, respectively, driven by China, South Korea, Australia and Indonesia, partially offset by lower pricing. Net sales of $4.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased 2.5% primarily driven by unfavorable currency impacts, partially offset by organic sales growth of 0.8%. The components of organic sales are consistent with the drivers discussed above.

Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of $214 increased 6.5% driven by gross productivity savings, volume and mix gains and lower marketing, research and general expenses, partially offset by unfavorable pricing net of cost inflation. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $597 decreased 9.7%, primarily due to unfavorable pricing net of cost inflation, supply chain related investments and currency impacts, partially offset by gross productivity savings and volume and mix gains.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As detailed in Item 1, Note 1 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. As a result, unless specifically stated, the following discussion reflects Kimberly Clark's consolidated results for all periods presented.

Cash Provided by Operations

Cash provided by operations was $1.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2.4 billion in the prior year. The decrease was driven by lower operating profit and timing impacts to working capital, including incremental restructuring and IFP Transaction separation cost payments of approximately $120.

Investing

Cash used for investing was $650 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to cash provided by investing of $94 in the prior year. This change is primarily due to proceeds from asset and business dispositions of $649 in 2024, primarily reflecting the sale of our PPE business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our capital spending was $741 compared to $512 in the prior year. We anticipate that full year capital spending will be approximately $1.0 to $1.2 billion, including incremental spending from the 2024 Transformation Initiative.

Financing

Cash used for financing was $1.6 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $2.5 billion in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to decreased share repurchases, coupled with an increase in U.S. commercial paper. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 1.1 million shares of our common stock pursuant to our publicly announced share repurchase programs at a total cost of $140 through a broker in the open market.

Our short-term debt, which consists of U.S. commercial paper with original maturities up to 90 days and/or other short-term debt issued by non-U.S. subsidiaries, was $421 as of September 30, 2025 (included in Debt payable within one year on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). The average month-end balance of short-term debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $257. These short-term borrowings provide supplemental funding to support our operations. The level of short-term debt generally fluctuates depending upon the amount of operating cash flows and the timing of customer receipts and payments for items such as dividends and income taxes.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total debt from continuing operations was $7.3 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively.

We maintain a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility which expires in June 2028 and a $750 revolving credit facility which expires in May 2026. These facilities, currently unused, support our commercial paper program and would provide liquidity in the event our access to the commercial paper markets is unavailable for any reason.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are expecting favorable cash tax impacts in the near and medium term as a result of the OBBBA. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, provisions within the OBBBA increased the Noncurrent deferred tax liability by approximately $200 primarily due to the valuation allowance recorded in the quarter and changes providing for the immediate deduction of previously capitalized research and development expenditures.

We have evaluated the effects of the Global anti-Base Erosion rules set forth by the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, referred to as “Pillar 2,” which establishes a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%. We have (1) determined that Pillar 2 legislation has been enacted in one or more of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the Company is within the scope of such legislation, (2) assessed such enacted legislation and, as applicable, the Transitional Safe Harbor provisions for Pillar 2 that apply, and (3) determined the impact will be immaterial to our financial results. We intend to file a Qualified Country-by-Country Report for the current year for each jurisdiction in which we intend to rely on the Transitional Country-by-Country Reporting Safe Harbor provisions.

We believe that our ability to generate cash from operations and our capacity to issue short-term and long-term debt are adequate to fund working capital, obligations related to our 2024 Transformation Initiative, capital spending, pension contributions, share repurchases, dividends and other needs for the foreseeable future. Further, we do not expect restrictions or taxes on repatriation of cash held outside of the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall business, liquidity, financial condition or results of operations for the foreseeable future.

Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters contained in this report concerning the business outlook, including raw material, energy and other input costs, our plans and expectations regarding the pending IFP Transaction, the anticipated charges and savings from the 2024 Transformation Initiative, cash flow and uses of cash, growth initiatives, innovations, marketing and other spending, net sales, anticipated currency rates and exchange risks, including the impact in Argentina and

Türkiye, effective tax rate, contingencies and anticipated transactions of Kimberly-Clark, including dividends, share repurchases and pension contributions, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based upon management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting Kimberly-Clark. There can be no assurance that these future events will occur as anticipated or that our 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.

The assumptions used as a basis for the forward-looking statements include many estimates that, among other things, depend on the achievement of future cost savings and projected volume increases. In addition, many factors outside our control, including risks and uncertainties around the pending IFP Transaction (including risks related to delays or failure to complete the proposed transaction, the incurrence of significant transaction and separation costs, adverse market reactions, regulatory or legal challenges, and operational disruptions), risks that we are not able to realize the anticipated benefits of the 2024 Transformation Initiative (including risks related to disruptions to our business or operations or related to any delays in implementation), war in Ukraine (including the related responses of consumers, customers, and suppliers and sanctions issued by the U.S., the European Union, Russia or other countries), government trade or similar regulatory actions (including current and potential trade and tariff actions affecting the countries where we operate and the resulting negative impacts on our supply chain, commodity costs, and consumer spending), pandemics, epidemics, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the 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, regional instabilities and hostilities (including the war in Israel), potential competitive pressures on selling prices for our products, energy costs, general economic and political conditions globally and in the markets in which we do business, as well as our ability to maintain key customer relationships, could affect the realization of these estimates.

The factors described under Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or in our other SEC filings, among others, could cause our future results to differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Other factors not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial could also affect our business operations and financial results.

SUMMARY OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following provides the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this report to the most closely related GAAP measure. These measures include: Organic Sales Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Earnings per Share, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. All discussions regarding non-GAAP financial measures reflect results from our continuing operations for all periods presented.

• Organic Sales Growth is defined as the change in Net Sales, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impacts of currency translation and divestitures and business exits.

• Adjusted Gross and Operating Profit, Adjusted Earnings per Share, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate are defined as Gross Profit, Operating Profit, Diluted Earnings per Share, and Effective Tax Rate, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impacts of certain items that management believes do not reflect our underlying operations, and which are discussed in further detail below.

The income tax effect of these non-GAAP items on the Company's Adjusted Earnings per Share is calculated based upon the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment. The impact of these non-GAAP items on the Company’s effective tax rate represents the difference in the effective tax rate calculated with and without the non-GAAP adjustment on Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Equity Interests and Provision for income taxes.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that we do not believe reflect our underlying and ongoing operations. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our results. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S.

GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

These 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 our Unaudited Interim Condensed 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. We compensate 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.

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items for the relevant time periods:

• 2024 Transformation Initiative - We initiated this transformation to create a more agile and focused operating structure that will accelerate our proprietary pipeline of innovation in right-to-win spaces and improve our growth trajectory, profitability, and returns on investment. See Item 1, Note 2 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

• U.S. Tax Reform Related Matters (OBBBA) - In the third quarter of 2025, we recognized a valuation allowance on prior year U.S. foreign tax credits as a result of provisions within the OBBBA that impact our ability to use credits.

• IFP Repatriated Earnings – In 2025, in connection with the IFP Transaction, we recognized a deferred tax liability for certain permanently reinvested earnings from the IFP Business that are expected to be repatriated prior to the close of the transaction.

• Sale of PPE business - In 2024, we recognized a gain related to the sale of our PPE business. See Item 1, Note 4 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

• Impairment of intangible assets - In 2024, we recognized charges related to the impairment of certain intangible assets related to Softex and Thinx. See Item 1, Note 5 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details.
