Clorox Reports Lower-than-Expected Q3 FY2025 Sales Amid Macroeconomic Challenges
Summary
The Clorox Company reported its third-quarter fiscal year 2025 results on May 5, 2025, showing a decrease in net sales by 8% to $1.67 billion due to divestitures and unfavorable price mix, but achieved a 240 basis point increase in gross margin to 44.6%. Despite the lower sales, the company saw a significant increase in diluted net earnings per share to $1.50 from a loss of $0.41 in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to the benefit of cyberattack insurance recoveries and the lapping of the loss from the divestiture of the Argentina business. Adjusted EPS decreased by 15% to $1.45 due to lower net sales. The company updated its fiscal year 2025 outlook, expecting net sales to be down 1% to flat, with organic sales growth of 4% to 5%, and diluted EPS between $5.73 and $6.13.
