First Look: P&G’s 2019 Annual Report

Released today as an online interactive experience, P&G’s 2019 Annual Report tells the story of how, as previously announced, we achieved the following during fiscal year 2019:

P&G built sales, market share and profit margin momentum throughout fiscal 2019, finishing the year with the strongest organic sales growth in over a decade.

We continued our unparalleled track record of cash returned to shareowners, returning $12.5 billion of cash through a combination of share repurchases and dividends, increasing the dividend for the 63rd consecutive year, and paying a dividend for 129 consecutive years.

We continued to drive our focus on specific choices that win the hearts of shoppers—supported by a strong commitment to corporate citizenship, which is woven into the everyday rhythm of our business.

We could not have achieved this without the roughly 97,000 P&G employees around the world who keep these 5 simple strategies central to their everyday work:

1. Focus on a portfolio of 10 categories comprised of daily-use products where performance drives brand choice.

2. Extend P&G’s margin of competitive superiority in product, package, brand communication, retail execution, and value.

3. Drive productivity improvements in cost and cash to fund these investments and improve profitability.

4. Lead the constructive disruption of our industry across all areas of the value chain, to win in today’s dynamic world.

5. Operate through a more focused, agile, accountable organisation operating at the speed of the market.
