Kimberly-Clark Corporation reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, revealing a decrease in net sales to $4.2 billion, down 1.6% from the previous year. This decline was primarily attributed to a 4.4% negative impact from the divestiture of Personal Protective Equipment $(PPE.AU)$ and the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the U.S., alongside a 1.0% negative impact from foreign currency translation. Despite these challenges, organic sales increased by 3.9%, driven by a 5.0% volume-led growth. The reported gross margin for the quarter was 35.0%, with an adjusted gross margin of 36.9%, indicating a decrease of 180 basis points compared to the prior year. Diluted earnings per share $(EPS)$ attributable to Kimberly-Clark were $1.53 on a reported basis, decreasing from $1.61 in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, EPS fell by 2.0% to $1.92, primarily due to lower adjusted operating profit and reduced net income from equity companies. For the first half of 2025, the company reported a 4.0% decline in sales to $8.2 billion, largely influenced by a 3.4% negative impact from the PPE divestiture and the exit of the private label diaper business. Year-to-date adjusted EPS was $3.85, down 3.0% from the previous year, reflecting a currency translation headwind of 280 basis points. The company did not provide specific outlook or guidance in the current release.
