In April 2026, the company completed the acquisition of GOJO Industries, Inc. (GOJO), which now operates as Clorox Purell and includes the Purell® brand and a portfolio of health and hygiene solutions.

The following is a summary of key fourth-quarter results. All comparisons are with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 unless otherwise stated.

•Net sales decreased 2% to $1.95 billion. The GOJO acquisition added about 10 points. Organic sales1 decreased 13%, primarily due to lapping the incremental shipments related to the ERP transition, which is about 13.5 points.

•Gross margin decreased 520 basis points to 41.3% from 46.5%, primarily driven by lower volume, impact from the inventory step-up of the GOJO acquisition, higher commodity costs and higher manufacturing and logistics costs, partially offset by cost savings. The ERP-related shipment comparison and GOJO inventory step-up each reduced gross margin by about 150 basis points.

•Diluted net earnings per share (diluted EPS) decreased 50% to $1.34 from $2.68 in the year-ago quarter. The decrease includes GOJO transaction-related costs primarily related to inventory step-up and integration costs, partially offset by the impact of lapping of the company's investment in its digital capabilities and productivity enhancements compared to the prior period.

•Adjusted EPS1 decreased 42% to $1.66 from $2.87 in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to lower net sales and lower gross margin. The impact of ERP-related shipment comparison was about 90 cents.

"Our fourth-quarter results were in line with our expectations and reflect disciplined execution in a dynamic environment," said Chair and CEO Linda Rendle. "Throughout fiscal year 2026, we strengthened our business despite continued consumer and macroeconomic pressures. We expanded our portfolio through the acquisition of GOJO Industries, completed our U.S. ERP implementation, a foundational modernization of the systems and processes that underpin every aspect of our operations, while advancing our digital capabilities. Together, these actions have strengthened our foundation and position us well to navigate a challenging operating environment as we work to return to organic sales growth. We exited the year with improved execution, a stronger innovation pipeline and a clear plan to deliver superior value across our portfolio, better meeting evolving consumer needs and driving long-term growth.

As we begin fiscal year 2027, we expect the operating environment to remain challenging, with continued cost volatility and a value-seeking consumer. Even so, we are starting the year from a stronger position to execute our strategy with discipline, build on the momentum we've created and deliver greater superiority across our portfolio. We are confident that the investments we've made in our brands, capabilities and products position us to deliver long-term value for shareholders."
