Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL) today reported results for
third quarter 2024. Noel Wallace, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer, commented on the Base Business third quarter
results, “We are very pleased to have delivered another quarter of
strong top and bottom line results with earnings exceeding our
expectations. Net sales increased 2.4% and organic sales grew 6.8%
(on top of 8.8% organic sales growth in the year ago quarter)
driven by a healthy balance of volume growth and higher pricing.
Every operating division delivered positive volume growth for the
second consecutive quarter as we focus on increasing household
penetration to drive category growth and market shares.
“We are particularly pleased with the quality of our results
this quarter on top of our strong first half results. This is our
sixth consecutive quarter delivering gross margin expansion along
with growth in operating profit, net income and earnings per share.
Advertising increased 16% in the quarter behind science-led, core
and premium innovation across price tiers. We expect continued
strong advertising investment through the remainder of the year as
we focus on building brand health and scaling the capabilities
needed to drive growth.
“Our strong results this quarter and year to date add to our
confidence that we are executing the right strategies to deliver on
our updated 2024 organic sales and Base Business earnings growth
expectations, drive cash flow and generate consistent, compounded
earnings per share growth.”
Full Year 2024 Guidance
Based on current spot rates:
- The Company now expects net sales growth of 3% to 5% (versus 2%
to 5% previously) including a mid-single-digit negative impact from
foreign exchange.
- The Company now expects organic sales growth of 7% to 8%
(versus 6% to 8% previously).
- On a GAAP basis, the Company still expects gross profit margin
expansion, increased advertising investment and double-digit
earnings per share growth.

gross profit margin expansion and increased advertising investment
and now expects earnings per share growth of 10% to 11% (versus 8%
to 11% previously).

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
management’s 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 the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East,
cost-reduction plans (including the 2022 Global Productivity
Initiative), 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
Company’s 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 Company’s business and cause actual results to differ
materially from forward-looking statements, investors should refer
to the Company’s 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
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2023 and subsequent filings with the SEC). Copies of these
filings may be obtained upon request from the Company’s Investor
Relations Department or on the Company’s 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 related to an
ERISA litigation matter, a foreign tax matter and the 2022 Global
Productivity Initiative and product recall 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 Company’s 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 versus 2023
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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 nine months ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 nine months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023 for a comparison of free cash flow before dividends
to Net cash provided by operations as reported in accordance with
GAAP.

items is calculated based upon the tax laws and statutory income
tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying

effective tax rate calculated with and without the non-GAAP
adjustment on Income before income taxes and Provision for income
taxes.
