BALANCED GROWTH & VALUE CREATION

The Procter & Gamble Company Regulation G Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non -GAAPmeasures used in Procter & Gamble's December 2, 2020 Morgan Stanley conference, associated slides, and other materials and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. We believe that these measures provide useful perspective on underlying business trends (i.e. trends excluding non-recurring or unusual items) and results and provide a supplemental measure of year-on-year results. The non-GAAP measures described below are used by Management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for business strategy purposes. These measures may be useful to investors as they provide supplemental information about business performance and provide investors a view of our business results through the eyes of Management. Certain of these measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining their at -risk compensation. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered by the user in place of the related GAAP measure, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items o r events being adjusted.

The measures provided are as follows:

  • 1. Orga nic sa les growth - page3

  • 2. CoreEPSandcurrency-neutralCoreEPS - page4

  • 3. Adjusted free cash flow productivity - page5

    Organic sales growth*: Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, the impact from the July 1, 2018 adoption of new accounting standards for "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons. Management believes this measure provides investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sale s growth on a consistent basis.

    The Core earnings measures included in the following reconciliation tables refer to the equivalent GAAP me asures adjusted as applicable for the following items:

  • Incremental restructuring: The Company has historically had a n ongoing level of restructuring a ctivities. Such a ctivities have resulted in ongoing a nnual restructuring rela ted charges of a pproximately $250 - $500 million before tax. Since 2012, theCompany has had a strategic productivity and cost savings initiative that resulted in incremental restructuring charges. The a djustment to Core earnings includes only the restructuring costs a bove what we believe a re the normal recurring level of restructuring costs. In fiscal 2021 a nd onwards, the Company expects to incur restructuring costs within our historical ongoing level.

  • Ga in on Dissolution of the PGT Healthcare Partnership: The Company finalized the dissolution of our PGT Healthcare pa rtnership, a venture between the Company and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries, Ltd (Teva) in the OTC consumer hea lthcare business, in the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The transaction wa sa ccounted for a s a sa le of the Teva portionofthePGTbusiness;theCompanyrecognizedanafter-taxgainonthedissolutionof$353million.

  • Sha ve Care Impairment: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the company recognized a one-time, non-cash, a fter-tax chargeof$8.0billion($8.3billionbeforetax)toadjustthecarryingvaluesoftheShaveCarereportingunit.Thiswas comprised of a before a nd after-tax impairment charge of $6.8 billion rela ted to goodwill a nd a n a fter-tax impairment chargeof$1.2billion($1.6billionbeforetax)toreducethecarryingvalueoftheGilletteindefinite-livedintangible a ssets.

  • Anti-dilutive Impacts: The Shave Care impairment charges caused certain equity instruments that are normally dilutive (a nd hence normally assumed converted or exercised for the purposes of determining diluted net earnings per share) to be a nti-dilutive. Accordingly, for U.S. GAAP diluted ea rnings per share, these instruments were not a ssumed to be concerted or exercised. Specifically, in the fourth quarter, total fiscal 2019, a nd calendar year 2019 the weighted a verage outstanding preferred shares were not included in the diluted weighted a verage common shares outstanding. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, none of our outstanding share-based equity awards were included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. As a result of the non-GAAP ShaveCare impairment a djustment, these instruments a re dilutive for non -GAAP earnings per share.

We do not view the above items to be part of our sustainable results, and their exclusion from core earnings measures provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year results. These items are also excluded when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation. Management views the following non-GAAP measures as useful supplemental measures of Company performance and operating efficiency over time.

Core EPS and currency-neutral Core EPS*: Core earnings per share, or Core EPS, is a measure of the Co mpany's diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted as indicated. Currency-neutral Core EPS is a measure of the Company's Core EPS excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange.

Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital spending and adjustments for items as indicated. Adjusted free cash flow represents the cash that the Company is able to generate after taking into account planned maintenance and asset expansion. Management views adjusted free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor used in determining the amount of cash available for dividends , share repurchases, acquisitions and other discretionary investment.

Adjusted free cash flow productivity*: Adjusted free cash flow productivity is defined as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings. Management views adjusted free cash flow productivity as a useful measure to help investors understand P&G's ability to generate cash. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for budget planning purposes. The Company's long-term target is to generate annual free cash flow productivity at or above 90 percent.

* Measure is used to evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at -risk compensation.
