Unfavorable and uncertain general economic [removed: and geopolitical conditions] [added: and geopolitical conditions] beyond the Company's control could negatively impact its financial results.
These factors include, but are not limited to, [removed: supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, wage pressures, ongoing elevated levels of] inflation, [added: tariffs,] recession and economic slowdown, [added: labor shortages, wage pressures, and supply chain disruptions,] as well as housing markets, consumer credit availability, consumer debt levels, fuel and energy [removed: costs (for example, the price of gasoline or alternative energy sources), rising] [added: costs,] interest [removed: rates,] [added: rate fluctuations,] tax rates and policy, unemployment trends, [removed: the impact of] natural disasters, pandemics/epidemics, civil disturbances and terrorist activities, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, conditions affecting the retail environment for the Company's products and other [removed: matters] [added: factors] that influence consumer demand, spending and preferences that could impact the demand for the Company's products and negatively impact its net sales and results of operations.
In addition, geopolitical [removed: instability, including] [added: instability (including] the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle [removed: East] [added: East, the potential for escalation in hostilities between the U.S.] and [added: Iran, and] rising tensions between China and [removed: Taiwan,] [added: Taiwan);] actual and potential shifts in U.S. and foreign trade, economic and other [removed: policies, including] [added: policies (including] as a result of escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading [removed: partners, including China, as well as other global events, have significantly increased global macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility.]
Sustained macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility and geopolitical [removed: instability, including relating to the results of elections,] [added: instability] could undermine global consumer confidence and could continue to reduce [removed: consumers’] [added: consumer spending and] purchasing power, thereby reducing demand for the Company's products, and continue to disrupt global supply chains, impacting the availability and cost of transportation, logistics, raw materials, commodities, labor and packaging.
This uncertainty and volatility also make it difficult for the Company, as well as its customers, suppliers, distributors and business partners to anticipate the resulting impacts and to accurately [removed: forecast] [added: forecast, make financial projections,] and plan future business activities, which may, in turn, cause customers to limit their purchase orders or affect their ability to pay amounts owed to the Company in a timely manner or at all, or adversely affect its business partners' ability to supply or provide services.
These situations [removed: are evolving,] [added: continue to evolve,] and there is significant uncertainty as to their full or related impacts on the global economy and geopolitical relations, in general, and on the Company’s business, in particular.

[added: These geopolitical conflicts and tensions may also heighten other risks] disclosed in this Report, [added: including relating to cybersecurity,] any of which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and/or financial condition.
[removed: Sales growth objectives may be difficult to achieve, and market] [added: Market] and category declines and [removed: changes to] the Company’s product and geographic mix may adversely impact the Company’s [removed: financial condition] [added: ability to meet sales growth targets, profitability] and [removed: results of operations.][added: financial results.]
During fiscal year [removed: 2024, 84%] [added: 2025, 86%] of the Company’s net sales were attributable to U.S. markets, including U.S. territories.
[removed: Furthermore,] [added: Even if we are successful at increasing sales,] a general decline in the markets for [removed: certain] [added: the Company’s] product categories has [removed: had] [added: had,] and may in the future [removed: have] [added: have,] a negative impact on the Company’s financial [removed: condition and] [added: condition,] results of [removed: operations.][added: operations and ability to meet its sales growth targets.]
In particular, the growing presence of, and increasing sales through, e-commerce retailers have affected, and may continue to affect, consumer behavior or preferences (as consumers increasingly shop online [removed: and via mobile] [added: to compare pricing] and [removed: social applications)] [added: product availability)] and market dynamics, including any pricing pressures for consumer goods as retailers face added costs to build their e-commerce capacity.
Further, consumer preferences continue to evolve due to a number of factors, including [removed: inflation] [added: macroeconomic volatility and uncertainty, and inflation,] which could cause consumers to purchase a smaller pack or quantity of a product or a lower priced alternative to the Company's products; fragmentation of the consumer market and changes in consumer demographics, which includes the aging of the general population and the emergence of millennial and younger generations who have different spending, consumption and purchasing habits; evolving consumer concerns or perceptions regarding [removed: ESG] [added: the sustainability] practices of manufacturers, including the environmental impacts of products [added: (including packaging, energy] and [added: water use, and waste management) and] the sourcing and sustainability of packaging materials, such as single-use plastics; a growing demand for natural or organic products and ingredients; evolving consumer concerns or perceptions (whether accurate or inaccurate) regarding the effects of ingredients or substances present in certain consumer products; [added: and] changing consumer sentiment toward non-local products or [removed: sources; and changing perceptions of environmental impacts (including packaging, energy and water use and waste management).][added: sources.]

[added: Consumer preferences are also influenced by perception of the brand image of the Company and its] products, the success of advertising and marketing campaigns, the Company’s ability to engage with consumers in the manner they prefer, including through the use of digital media or assets, and the perception of the Company’s advertising, use of social media and engagement in political and social issues, and geopolitical events.
If the Company is not successful in continuing to adapt to rapidly changing consumer preferences and market dynamics or expanding sales through e-commerce retailers or alternative retail channels, consumers may reduce [removed: the purchase] [added: their purchasing] of the Company's products, which could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company faces intense competition from consumer product companies both in the U.S. and in its international [removed: markets.][added: markets, and our ability to maintain or gain market share may be impacted by the actions by competitors.]
Increased purchases of “private label” products or other lower priced brands could negatively impact net sales of the Company’s higher-margin products or there could be a shift in product mix to lower-margin offerings, [removed: especially at a time of ongoing inflationary pressure,] and this would negatively impact its net earnings and profits.
[removed: The Company is also] increasingly using digital media marketing and promotional programs to reach consumers.
These competitors, as well as new [added: or smaller] market entrants, may be able to spend more aggressively on advertising and promotional activities, introduce competing products more quickly, adopt new technology, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, more quickly and successfully, and respond more effectively to changing business and [removed: economic] [added: macroeconomic] conditions and consumer preferences than the Company can.
Harm to the Company’s reputation or the reputation of one or more of its leading brands or products could have an adverse effect on [removed: the] [added: its] business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company devotes significant time and resources to programs designed to protect and preserve its reputation such as ethics and compliance, brand [removed: protection,] [added: protection and suitability,] product safety and quality, and enterprise risk management, and has published [removed: ESG] goals, including relating to environmental impact and [removed: sustainability and inclusion and diversity,] [added: sustainability,] as part of its IGNITE Strategy.
The Company could be the subject of negative publicity in spite of or as a result of these efforts, including relating to product safety, quality or [removed: efficacy,] [added: efficacy;] ingredients or substances [removed: present] [added: actually] or allegedly present in the Company’s products or [removed: packaging,] [added: packaging; sustainability;] or [removed: ESG and related issues,] [added: its human capital practices,] including if the Company [removed: is] [added: changes its position on or does] not [removed: successful in achieving] [added: achieve] its [removed: ESG goals] [added: sustainability goals,] or provides inaccurate information.
The Company’s [removed: products, especially its dietary supplement and related products,] [added: products] are dependent on consumers’ perception of their efficacy, safety and quality.
Emerging studies have, in the past, and could, in the future, prove or allege that ingredients or substances that are present or allegedly present in the Company's products, the products themselves, or similar products of other companies, are [removed: ineffective or] harmful to consumers.
Widespread use of social media and networking sites by consumers has greatly increased the accessibility and speed of dissemination of information [removed: and misinformation.][added: (whether accurate or inaccurate).]

[added: Additionally, marketing initiatives] may not have the desired effect on a brand’s or product’s image.
Net sales to the Company’s largest customer, Walmart Stores, Inc. and its affiliates, were [added: 27%,] 25%, [removed: 26%] and [removed: 25%] [added: 26%] of consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, [added: 2025,] 2024, [removed: 2023] and [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] respectively, and occurred across all of the Company’s reportable segments.
The Company’s five largest customers accounted for nearly half of the Company’s consolidated net sales for each of the fiscal years [added: 2025,] 2024, [removed: 2023] and [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] and a significant portion of the Company’s future revenues may continue to be derived from a small number of customers.
In addition, the use of the latest [added: pricing] technology by its customers [removed: regarding pricing] may lead to category pricing pressures.
Consistent with the ongoing variability in information technology (IT) systems industry-wide, the Company's IT [removed: platforms] [added: platforms, including after the implementation its ERP system,] may not be fully compatible at all times with those used by its customers and may not be able to respond to customer data or technology demands.
The Company may not successfully introduce new products and line extensions, or expand into adjacent categories and countries, which could adversely impact its [added: ability to meet sales growth targets,] financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s [removed: future performance and] [added: ability to achieve its sales] growth [added: targets] depends on innovation and its ability to successfully develop or license capabilities to introduce new products, brands, line extensions and product innovations or enter or expand into adjacent product categories, sales [removed: channels] [added: channels, markets] or countries.
The Company’s ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and quickly innovate in order to adapt its products (including product [removed: packaging,] [added: packaging and] environmental impact and sustainability profile) to meet changing consumer demands and/or evolving regulatory requirements is essential, especially in light of the reduction in barriers for even small competitors, and these innovations may result in increased costs.
These risks include product development or launch delays, noncompliance with applicable laws or regulations, or infringement of third-party intellectual property, any of which could result in the Company not being first to market, and the failure of new products, brands and line extensions to achieve [added: anticipated levels of market acceptance.]

The Company’s success depends, in part, on its continuing ability to identify, hire, develop and retain highly qualified [added: personnel with diverse perspectives, experiences,] and [added: backgrounds that reflect the Company’s varied and] diverse [removed: personnel.][added: consumer base, at all levels of the business, including management and in its manufacturing facilities.]
[removed: The Company’s success also depends on its] ability to retain its key personnel, including its executive officers and senior management team, and to continue to implement its succession plans for senior management and other key employees.

2 The Company's fiscal year 2025 RIR of 0.66 means that for every 100 full-time equivalent Clorox employees globally, the Company averaged less than one recordable incident during the past year.
The criteria used to determine RIR follows the U.S. Department of Labor’s OSHA guidelines and is applied globally.
The RIR does not include workers at offices with fewer than 10 employees, but it does include remote workers.
partners, including China, particularly due to the imposition of tariffs by the U.S. and retaliatory tariffs by those partners); and other global events, have significantly increased global macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility.
Furthermore, U.S. government policy or election outcomes may prompt nationalist sentiment abroad, potentially resulting in targeted boycotts of U.S. products and services, which could adversely affect demand for the Company’s products in certain international markets and negatively impact financial results.
U.S. markets for consumer goods are considered more mature and commonly characterized by high household penetration, particularly with respect to our most significant product categories.
The Company’s ability to achieve its sales growth targets depends on its ability to successfully introduce new products, brands, line extensions, and product innovations, or enter or expand into adjacent product categories, sales channels, markets or countries.
Further, the Company’s product, category and/or geographic mix may hinder the Company’s ability to meet these strategic targets, especially in conjunction with ongoing macroeconomic volatility, which would adversely impact its profitability and financial results.
The Company is also
The Company may not successfully execute or realize the anticipated benefits of its strategic or transformational initiatives.
The Company is implementing certain strategic and transformational initiatives intended to generate cost savings, improve operational efficiencies and enhance its competitive position.
These initiatives include the implementation of a new ERP system, expansion of digital capabilities and productivity enhancements, and continued execution of its long-standing cost savings program focused on reducing material and manufacturing costs, improving supply chain operations, and reducing overhead.
These initiatives (and their concurrent execution) may have unintended consequences, such as business disruptions, diversion of management attention, reduced employee morale and productivity, organizational fatigue, loss of institutional knowledge, and negative impacts on relationships with customers, suppliers, and business partners.
The ERP system implementation, expected to be completed in the U.S. during fiscal year 2026, has required and will continue to require investment of personnel and financial resources to support post-implementation efforts and system functionality.
Following implementation, the Company may experience system inefficiencies or integration challenges, delays in key business processes or workflows, data quality or migration issues, security access gaps, or operational disruptions.
Any such disruptions could impact our ability to process transactions (including invoicing and collections), manage inventory and supply chain operations, or fulfill customer orders, which could adversely impact our customer relationships, cash flows and business.
Additionally, the expected value and cost savings from the ERP system and other transformational initiatives may not be achieved, may be realized more slowly than anticipated, may not be maintained including through training or effective change management, or may be offset by increased costs or other unintended consequences.
The Company also may not be able to successfully enter new markets, launch new products and innovations, implement pricing actions, restructure operations, and pursue strategic acquisitions or divestitures.
These strategic initiatives may not be effectively implemented, may fail to achieve intended results, or may result in unanticipated costs or complexities.
If the Company is unable to successfully execute its strategic or transformation initiatives or realize their anticipated value or benefits, its business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
While the Company’s success may increasingly become dependent on its ability to adopt and effectively leverage this emerging technology, it may not be able to do so in an effective manner.
This technology could also prove to be, among other things, false, biased, or inconsistent with the Company’s values and strategies, which could lead to operational disruptions, flawed decision-making, increased costs, or reputational harm.
The Company may not be able to attract, develop or retain the highly skilled personnel needed to support its business.
The Company’s success also depends on its
Supply pressures and market disruptions may continue into fiscal year 2026, however, including as a result of new or increasing U.S. or retaliatory tariffs, which could also increase raw material costs.
In addition, the Company may face challenges in production planning and execution, which could impact its ability to cost-effectively meet
The Company is in the process of a multi-year phased upgrade of its digital and productivity capabilities and ERP system replacement.
These attacks may also be difficult to detect for periods of time and, even if detected, the nature and extent of the incident may not be immediately clear and an investigation into an incident could take a significant amount of time to complete.
These factors may inhibit the Company’s ability to provide rapid, complete, and reliable information about the cybersecurity incident to customers, counterparties, and regulators, as well as the public.
industry standards and contractual obligations.
of operations.
Changes in government and tax regulations could have a material effect on our financial results.
The Company’s manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling, storage, distribution, advertising, and sale of its products and business operations must comply with extensive, increasingly varied, and complex federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations.
Additionally, significant and wide-ranging reforms, regulatory changes, policies, and executive orders, changing enforcement priorities, and staffing reductions at governmental agencies at the federal level in 2025 have introduced uncertainty regarding future regulatory impacts, including around product safety standards, labeling requirements, or approval processes, which may delay product launches, increase compliance risk, or impact the Company’s ability to bring new products to market expeditiously or efficiently.
For instance, the Company is subject to environmental regulations related to the transportation, storage, and use of certain chemicals.
It may also face increased costs or mandatory funding obligations under extended producer responsibility regulations (such as plastic or packaging taxes, recycling, and waste management programs) or restrictions on materials and packaging types.
These requirements could raise raw material acquisition and compliance costs, limit material availability, or make the Company’s products more expensive and less competitive, thereby reducing consumer demand.
Furthermore, the Company is subject to rapidly evolving and increasingly complex legal and regulatory requirements in areas such as sustainability disclosure, sustainable packaging (including plastic packaging), data privacy, executive compensation, and corporate governance.
The lack of regulatory convergence across jurisdictions, especially at the state level, may further increase compliance costs.
For example, on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted in the United States.
These geopolitical conflicts and tensions may also heighten other risks
The situation continues to evolve and significant uncertainties regarding the full impact of these conflicts or the related impacts on the global economy and geopolitical relations remain.
The Company has implemented price increases and may implement additional price increases in the future, including to account for increasing costs, which may adversely affect sales volumes.
In addition, competitors may or may not take competitive actions, which may lead to sales declines and loss of market share.
If the Company is unable to increase market share in existing product lines, develop product innovations, undertake sales, marketing and advertising initiatives that grow its product categories, effectively adopt and leverage existing and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence or machine learning, and/or develop, acquire or successfully launch new products or brands, it may not achieve its sales growth objectives.
In addition, changes to the mix of products that the Company sells, as well as the mix of countries in which its products are sold, may adversely impact the Company’s net sales, profitability and cash flow.
Consumer preferences are also influenced by perception of the brand image of the Company and its
Additionally, marketing initiatives
The Company’s ability to adopt this emerging technology in an effective and ethical manner may impact its reputation and ability to compete, and this technology could be, among other things, false, biased, or inconsistent with the Company’s values and strategies.
anticipated levels of market acceptance.
Loss of, or inability to attract, key personnel could adversely impact the Company’s business.
In addition, to the extent that the economic benefits associated with an acquisition
For example, in March 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Argentina business, which consisted of two production plants in Argentina as well as the rights to the Company’s brands in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, and in July 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Better Health VMS business.
The Better Health VMS transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected and could continue to negatively affect the Company's business by causing or contributing to, among other things:
- Disruptions in business operations and in the ability of significant third-party vendors, manufacturers and other business partners, including customers, to meet their obligations to us;
- Worldwide, regional and local adverse economic and financial market conditions, all of which could impact the manufacturing operations of the Company or third-party partners;
- Adverse impacts on the supply chain, including manufacturing by the Company or third-party partners, due to raw material, packaging or other supply shortages, labor shortages or reduced availability of commercial transport and port operational disruptions; and
- Sustained labor shortages or increased turnover rates.
Although the World Health Organization and the federal government have declared an end to COVID-19 as a global and national health emergency, respectively, risks related to COVID-19 have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
On Monday, August 14, 2023, the Company disclosed it had identified unauthorized activity on some of its IT systems.
That activity began on Friday, August 11, 2023 and after becoming aware of it that evening, the Company immediately began taking steps to stop and remediate the activity.
The Company also took certain systems offline and engaged third-party cybersecurity experts to support its investigation and recovery efforts.
The Company implemented its business continuity plans, including
manual ordering and processing procedures at a reduced rate of operations in order to continue servicing its customers.
However, the incident resulted in wide-scale disruptions to the Company’s business operations throughout the remainder of the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and negatively impacted fiscal year 2024 results, though some of the anticipated net sales not recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 as a result of the disruptions were recognized in the later quarters of fiscal year 2024.
The impacts of these system disruptions included order processing delays and significant product outages, resulting in a negative impact on net sales and earnings.
The Company has since transitioned back to automated order processing.
The Company experienced lessening operational impacts starting in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 and has since returned to substantially normalized operations.
The cyberattack may also lead to additional regulatory scrutiny or litigation exposure.
The Company is in the process of a multi-year phased upgrade of its digital capabilities, including enhancing operating efficiencies and transitioning to a cloud-based platform, as well as replacing its enterprise resource planning system.
The Company has seen and may continue to see an increase in the number of such attacks, especially as the Company continues operating under a hybrid working model under which employees can work and access the Company’s technology infrastructure remotely.
Significant inflationary pressures have impacted the Company's gross margin in fiscal years 2023 and, to a lesser extent, 2024, and it expects inflationary pressures to continue into fiscal year 2025.
inability to achieve expected cost savings or efficiencies and result in additional costs to correct errors made by such service providers.
Government regulations could impose material costs.
Additionally, the Company could be subject to future inquiries or investigations by governmental and other regulatory bodies.
The model rules are known as the Global Anti-Base Erosion rules (GloBE rules) or “Pillar Two”.
The Company does not expect Pillar Two to materially impact its effective tax rate or cash flows.
The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate new legislation and guidance, which could impact this assessment.
These anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials or other third parties for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.

In the back half of the fiscal year, heightened macroeconomic uncertainties drove changes in shopping behaviors, resulting in temporary category slowdowns and lower sales.
While net sales were
essentially flat in fiscal year 2025, the Company grew overall market share while also expanding gross margin.
Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) increased 190% compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to the losses on the divestiture of the Argentina business in the prior period, higher volume in the current period, the pension settlement charge in the prior period and cost savings and the benefits of cyberattack insurance recoveries in the current period, partially offset by the loss relating to the divestiture of the Better Health Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS) business, unfavorable mix and higher trade promotion spending all in the current period.
The Company also launched numerous innovations and new products in fiscal year 2025, including seven new Hidden Valley Ranch flavors, new scent options for Scentiva Bleach and Poett Multi-Purpose Cleaner, Burt’s Bees Tinted Boosted Lip Balm and Rescue Lip Relief, Ever Clean Senior Cat Litter as well as Fresh Step Heavy Duty Litter, Kingsford Beercoal charcoal briquettes and the Brita Plus System.
In September 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its Better Health VMS business, which included the Natural Vitality, NeoCell, Rainbow Light and RenewLife brands, relevant trademarks and licenses, and associated manufacturing and distribution facilities in Sunrise, Florida.
In February 2025, the Company announced that the Venture Agreement with The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) for the Company's Glad bags and wraps business will wind down by January 31, 2026.
The Company will acquire P&G’s 20% interest in the venture at its termination.
Clorox’s purchase of P&G’s interest in the Glad business will be at a fair market value as established by predetermined contractual valuation procedures as of the expiration date of the joint venture.
Following expiration of the joint venture, the Glad business will retain the exclusive core intellectual property licenses contributed by P&G on a royalty-free basis for the licensed products marketed.
Following the successful implementation of the new ERP system in Canada, Clorox began implementation in the U.S. in fiscal year 2026.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, certain retailers placed orders in advance of the ERP transition in the U.S. to minimize any potential inventory impacts during the implementation phase.
The incremental shipments provided a benefit to net sales, however, these impacts are expected to reverse in fiscal year 2026 as retailers draw down this inventory.
Clorox also received the Technology Innovation Award from the Household & Commercial Products Association and was named to Wall Street Journal's 250 Best Managed Companies.
In July 2025, Clorox announced an increase of 2% to its dividend, consistent with its longstanding practice of delivering annual dividend increases.
Operating segments not aggregated into a reportable segment are reflected in Corporate and Other.

IGNITE focuses on four strategic choices aimed at fueling long-term, profitable growth; innovating consumer experiences; reimagining how the company and its people work; and continuously evolving the product portfolio.
In August 2023, a cyberattack created significant disruption to the Company's operations.
Together with factors such as continued inflation, a consumer who remains under pressure and economic volatility in certain geographic markets, this created a dynamic operating environment as the Company continued its efforts to drive growth, rebuild margin and deliver transformation.
While net sales decreased mainly due to the disruptions caused by the cyberattack, the Company rebuilt gross margin primarily due to the benefit of pricing actions and continued positive returns from its trademark cost savings program.
Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) increased 88% compared to the year-ago period, largely driven by a lapping noncash impairment charge in the Better Health Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS) business from the year-ago period, partially offset by the loss relating to the divestiture of the Argentina business, continued investments in the Company's long-term strategic digital capabilities and productivity enhancements and charges relating to implementation of the Company's streamlined operating model.
The Company also launched numerous innovations and new products in fiscal year 2024, including seven new Hidden Valley Ranch flavors, a new lineup of Pine-Sol concentrated multi-surface cleaners, new Scentiva Disinfecting Mist and Toilet Bowl Cleaning Gel, Clorox Toilet Bomb Foaming Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Kingsford High Heat and Low and Slow charcoal briquettes and the Brita Refillable Water Filtration System.
In March of 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its Argentina business, which consisted of its production plants in Argentina as well as the rights to the Company's brands in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
The increased estimate includes impacts from delays as a result of the cyberattack.
The implementation timeline is unchanged.
In fiscal year 2024, the Company completed the implementation of its streamlined operating model to help meet its objectives of driving growth and productivity.
The implementation of this new model resulted in the reduction of certain staffing levels and is expected to achieve cost savings of approximately $100 million annually.
The Foundation works to support communities on important matters including health and safety, education and racial justice.
Clorox was also named to Wall Street Journal's 250 Best Managed Companies and Newsweek's America's Most Responsible Companies and America's Greenest Companies lists.
In July 2024, Clorox announced an increase of 2% in its quarterly dividend — the 22nd consecutive year it has done so.
For further information regarding the impact of changes in commodity prices, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Exhibit 99.1, “Risk Factors – Volatility and increases in the costs of raw materials,
Furthermore, heightened competitive activity is expected as inflation continues to increase and consumers experience reduced purchasing power.
The Company’s purpose and values also are fully embedded in its IGNITE strategy, which accelerates innovation in key areas of the business to drive growth and deliver value for all Company stakeholders.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Allyship (IDEA)
One of the ways the Company puts people at the center is through its continued commitment to inclusion, diversity, equity and allyship.
This work builds a workplace that values diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to create stronger teams, unlock more innovation and – ultimately – contribute to greater success both individually and collectively.
In fiscal year 2024, Clorox continued to make strides on its IDEA journey by prioritizing three focus areas - building teams comprised of diverse backgrounds and perspectives, fostering inclusion and allyship to establish a culture where people can be their best selves, and engaging with the Company's multicultural consumer base through purposeful brands.
The Company was named by Forbes to its 2023 list of The World’s Top Companies for Women and as One of America’s Best Employers for Diversity.
Workforce diversity*.* As of June 30, 2024, people of color1 represented 42% of Clorox's total U.S. workforce, 24% of U.S. senior executives, 35% of U.S. managers2, 51% of other U.S. nonproduction employees and 44% of U.S. production employees.
Women made up 36% of the Company's global workforce, 48% of global senior executives, 50% of global managers, 57% of other global nonproduction employees and 19% of global production employees.
Board and leadership diversity*.* As of June 30, 2024, the Clorox Executive Committee was composed of 54% women, including Chair and Chief Executive Officer Linda Rendle, and 15% people of color.
Additionally, 50% of the board are women and 25% are people of color, with the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee (NGCRC) and the Audit Committee chaired by people of color.
The Company's NGCRC chair is also a woman.
In addition, the Company works closely with ERGs and establishes partnerships with external organizations focused on advancing equity and opportunity for the communities they represent.
1 Management defines people of color (POC) as any race that is not White (Asian, Black, Latino, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or two or more races).
Gender and ethnicity information is provided by employees on a voluntary, self-identification basis.
To the extent that the employees do not voluntarily report, the data would not be included in the respective calculation.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b51(c) under the Exchange act or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K.
On Monday, August 14, 2023, the Company disclosed it had identified unauthorized activity on some of its Information Technology (IT) systems; see Note 3 in the consolidated financial statements in Exhibit 99.1.
That activity began on Friday, August 11, 2023 and after becoming aware of it that evening, the Company immediately began taking steps to stop and remediate the activity.
The Company also took certain systems offline and engaged third-party cybersecurity experts to support its investigation and recovery efforts.
The Company implemented its business continuity plans, including manual ordering and processing procedures at a reduced rate of operations in order to continue servicing its customers.
However, the incident resulted in wide-scale disruptions to the Company’s business operations throughout the remainder of the first fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
During the disruptions caused by the cyberattack, we deployed additional interim controls in response to taking certain systems offline during the period to maintain our internal control over financial reporting.
On June 7, 2024, Angela Hilt, EVP – Chief Legal Officer, entered into a trading plan designed to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.
The plan provides for sales of up to 1,733 shares of the Company's common stock.
The plan also provides for the sale of up to 25% of shares of restricted stock units and performance units vesting during the duration of the plan, excluding any shares withheld by the Company to satisfy income tax withholding remittance obligations.
Ms. Hilt’s plan begins on September 6, 2024 and ends June 6, 2025 or when all of the shares have been sold.
Each trading plan is in accordance with the Company's insider trading policy.
Actual sale transactions will be disclosed publicly in filings with the SEC in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.
