ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview of Business
The Clorox Company is a leading multinational manufacturer and marketer of consumer and professional products with fiscal year 2026 net sales of $6.7 billion and about 9,200 employees worldwide as of June 30, 2026. The Company has operations in approximately 25 countries or territories and sells its products in approximately 95 markets, primarily through mass retailers; grocery outlets; warehouse clubs; dollar stores; home hardware centers; drug, pet and military stores; third-party and owned e-commerce channels; and distributors. Clorox markets some of the most trusted and recognized consumer brand names, including Clorox® cleaning and disinfecting products; Pine-Sol® cleaner; Liquid-Plumr® clog removers; Poett® home care products; Glad® bags and wraps; Fresh Step® cat litter; Kingsford® grilling products; Hidden Valley® dressings, dips, seasonings and sauces; Brita® water-filtration products; and Burt’s Bees® natural personal care products. The Company also markets industry-leading products and technologies for professional customers, including those sold under the Purell®, CloroxPro™ and Clorox Healthcare® brand names. Over 80% of the Company’s sales are generated from brands that hold the No. 1 or No. 2 market share positions in their categories. The Company was founded in Oakland, California, in 1913 and is incorporated in Delaware.
In April 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of GOJO, expanding its product portfolio to include the Purell® brand and GOJO's health and hygiene solutions. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of GOJO, which now operates as Clorox Purell and is based in northeast Ohio. The acquisition reflects the Company's strategy to expand its position in health and hygiene and strengthens its presence in business-to-business (B2B) channels, including healthcare and other institutional markets, through an established distribution network and a large installed base of dispensing systems that drive recurring demand.
The Company's IGNITE strategy accelerates innovation in key areas of the business to drive growth and deliver value for all Company stakeholders. 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 addition, IGNITE's integrated approach to sustainability supports long-term value creation for the Company and its stakeholders.
Business Performance
Guided by its IGNITE strategy and underpinned by its enduring values, the Company remained focused on making significant investments in its strong brands, strategic digital capabilities and streamlined operating model to drive long-term value creation.
The Company entered fiscal year 2026 focused on implementing and stabilizing its new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. While this foundational effort created some expected near-term disruption, the Company continues to work towards optimization of its digital capabilities.
During the fiscal year, ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty continued to influence consumer shopping behaviors, resulting in category slowdowns and lower sales. Given these headwinds, as well as the timing impact of the final phase of ERP system implementation, which pulled certain sales into the prior fiscal year ahead of consumption, in fiscal year 2026 the Company saw decreases to organic sales and earnings. While net sales declined in fiscal year 2026, the Company strengthened the foundation of its business and expanded its portfolio through the GOJO acquisition. Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) decreased 26% compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to lower net sales and higher manufacturing and logistics costs, partially offset by lapping the loss on the divestiture of the Better Health Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS) business in the prior period.
The Company also launched numerous innovations and new products in fiscal year 2026, including the launch of Clorox PURE and Clorox Screen+ Sanitizing Wipes, expanded professional hygiene solutions from Clorox Healthcare and Purell, Fresh Step Lightweight Litter, Glad ForceFlex MaxStrength LeakGuard Trash Bags, new lip and body care offerings from Burt’s Bees, as well as new flavors and scents across Clorox, Glad, Hidden Valley Ranch and Pine-Sol.
The Company's venture agreement with The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) for the Company’s Glad bags and wraps business (the Venture Agreement) expired on January 31, 2026. In connection with the expiration of the Venture Agreement, the Company was required to purchase P&G's 20% interest in the business at fair value. Following expiration of the Venture Agreement, the Glad business retains the exclusive core intellectual property licenses contributed by P&G on a royalty-free basis for the licensed products marketed.
The Company's transformation efforts continued in fiscal year 2026. As announced in August 2021, the Company committed to invest in transformative technologies and processes over a five-year period. This investment began in fiscal year 2022, and included replacement of the Company's ERP system and transitioning to a cloud-based platform as well as the implementation of a suite of other digital technologies. The Company began implementation of its core U.S. operations in fiscal year 2026. The Company completed its implementation in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. The total incremental transformational investment was approximately $580 million. It is expected that these implementations will generate efficiencies and transform the Company's operations in the areas of supply chain, digital commerce, innovation, brand building and more over the long term.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, certain retailers placed orders in advance of the ERP system transition in the U.S. to minimize any potential inventory impacts during the implementation phase. The incremental shipments provided a benefit to fiscal year 2025 net sales, however, the offsetting impacts were reflected in fiscal year 2026 net sales as retailers drew down this inventory.
In fiscal year 2026, the Company simplified its operating structure to streamline leadership oversight, align resources to drive the company's strongest growth opportunities, advance portfolio optimization efforts and support faster execution across the enterprise.
Clorox continued to work toward its sustainability goals, which are embedded into the IGNITE strategy and throughout the business. The Company prioritizes greenhouse gas emission reductions and reducing plastic and other waste. Clorox continues to invest in talent development initiatives across all levels and functions. Through both funding and employee volunteering, The Clorox Company Foundation extends Clorox’s people-centered impact by promoting well-being and inclusivity within communities.
The Company has been broadly recognized throughout fiscal year 2026 for its integrated sustainability efforts. For the fourth consecutive year, Clorox was recognized among Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies list. The Company was also recognized by Time as one of America’s Most Iconic Companies and listed among the World’s Most Trustworthy Companies by Newsweek. Clorox also received Kantar’s Outstanding Innovation Award and was named to Wall Street Journal's 250 Best Managed Companies.
Clorox also continued its longtime commitment to providing value to shareholders through regular dividends. During fiscal year 2026, the Company paid $602 million in dividends to shareholders. In July 2026, Clorox announced an increase of 1% to its dividend, consistent with its longstanding practice of delivering annual dividend increases.
For fiscal year 2027, Clorox will continue to invest in its brands and capabilities to build a stronger, more resilient company that delivers consistent, profitable growth over time.

Financial Information about Operating Segments and Principal Products
The Company operates through strategic business units (SBUs) which are organized into operating segments. Operating segments are then aggregated into four reportable segments: Health and Wellness, Household, Lifestyle and International. Operating segments not aggregated into a reportable segment are reflected in Corporate and Other. The four reportable segments consist of the following:
-
Health and Wellness consists of cleaning, disinfecting, sanitizing and professional products marketed and sold in the United States. Products within this segment include home care cleaning and disinfecting products and laundry additives, primarily under the Clorox, Clorox2, Pine-Sol, Scentiva, Tilex, Liquid-Plumr and Formula 409 brands; skin sanitization and cleaning products under the Purell and GOJO brands; professional cleaning and disinfecting products under the CloroxPro and Clorox Healthcare brands; and professional food service products under the Hidden Valley brand.
-
Household consists of bags and wraps, cat litter and grilling products marketed and sold in the United States. Products within this segment include bags and wraps under the Glad brand; cat litter primarily under the Fresh Step and Scoop Away brands; and grilling products under the Kingsford brand.
-
Lifestyle consists of food, water-filtration and natural personal care products marketed and sold in the United States. Products within this segment include dressings, dips, seasonings and sauces, primarily under the Hidden Valley brand; water-filtration products under the Brita brand; and natural personal care products under the Burt’s Bees brand.
-
International consists of products sold outside the United States. Products within this segment include laundry additives and home care products primarily marketed under the Clorox, Poett, Pine-Sol, Clorinda and Chux brands; bags and wraps under the Glad brand; cat litter primarily marketed under the Ever Clean and Fresh Step brands and water-filtration products marketed under the Brita brand.
The Company’s products are marketed and sold globally. The following table provides the Company’s global product lines, which were sold in the United States (including professional products) and internationally, that accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30:
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||||
| Cleaning products | 44 | % | 44 | % | 43 | % | |||||||||||
| Bags and wraps | 15 | % | 15 | % | 15 | % | |||||||||||
| Food products | 11 | % | 12 | % | 11 | % | |||||||||||
| Cat litter products | 10 | % | 10 | % | 10 | % |
Principal Markets and Methods of Distribution
In the United States, most of the Company’s products are nationally advertised and sold to mass retailers, grocery outlets, warehouse clubs, dollar stores, home hardware centers, military stores and other retail outlets primarily through a direct sales force; to grocery stores and grocery wholesalers primarily through a combination of direct sales teams and a network of brokers; and through e-commerce retailers. The Company also sells many of its products through alternative retail channels. Some brands are sold using the direct-to-consumer model. The Company sells institutional, janitorial, food-service and healthcare products through a direct sales force and a network of brokers to distributors and redistributors. Outside the United States, the Company sells products to the retail trade through subsidiaries, licensees, distributors and joint-venture arrangements with local partners.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The Company purchases raw materials from numerous unaffiliated U.S. and international suppliers, some of which are sole source or single-source suppliers. Interruptions in the delivery of these materials could adversely impact the Company. Key raw materials used by the Company include resins, non-woven fabrics for wipes products, sodium hypochlorite, corrugated cardboard, soybean oil, solvent, derivatives of amines and other chemicals and agricultural commodities. Raw materials were generally available during fiscal year 2026 with minimal constraints. While the Company does not expect supply constraints in fiscal year 2027, supply risk may result from external factors outside of the Company's control.
To mitigate the volatility of the pricing of raw materials needed in its operations, the Company uses a combination of derivative instruments (including commodity futures and swaps), long-term supply contracts and other contractual arrangements with key suppliers. However, the Company remains highly exposed to changes in the prices of commodities and transportation used in manufacturing and shipping of its products as well as broader geopolitical developments. 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, energy, transportation, labor and other necessary supplies or services have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the Company’s net earnings and cash flow” and “Risk Factors – Supply chain issues can result in product shortages or disruptions to the Company’s business” in Item 1.A.
Patents and Trademarks
Most of the Company’s brand name consumer products are protected by registered trademarks. The Company’s brand names and trademarks are highly important to its business, and the Company vigorously protects its trademarks from apparent infringements. Maintenance of brand equity value is critical to the Company’s success. The Company’s patent rights are also significant to its business and are asserted, where appropriate, against apparent infringements.
Seasonality
Most sales of the Company’s grilling products occur during the months of March through September each calendar year. The volume and sales of grilling products may be affected by weather conditions.
Customers
Net sales to the Company’s largest customer, Walmart Stores, Inc. and its affiliates, were 26%, 27% and 25% of consolidated net sales for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and occurred across all of the Company’s reportable segments. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated net sales in any of these fiscal years. The Company’s five largest customers accounted for about half of the Company’s consolidated net sales for each of the fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024.
Competition
The markets for consumer products are highly competitive. The Company’s products compete with other nationally advertised brands and with “private label” brands within each category. Competition comes from similar and alternative products, some of which are produced and marketed by major multinational or national companies having financial resources greater than those of the Company. In addition, the Company faces competition from retailers, including club stores, grocery stores, drugstores, dollar stores, mass merchandisers, e-commerce retailers and subscription services, as well as from competitors in its B2B channels, including healthcare and other institutional markets. The Company’s products generally compete on the basis of product performance, brand reputation and recognition, image and price. The Company also competes through product innovation, digital capabilities, data and analytics, and marketing effectiveness, including across e-commerce and other emerging retail platforms. A newly introduced consumer product (whether improved or newly developed) usually encounters intense competition requiring substantial expenditures for advertising, sales promotion and trade merchandising support. If a product gains consumer acceptance, it typically requires continued advertising and promotional support and ongoing product innovation to maintain its relative market position. For further information regarding the intense competition the Company faces, see “Risk Factors – The Company faces intense competition in its markets, which could lead to reduced net sales, net earnings and cash flow.” in Item 1.A.
Research and Development
The Company engages in research and development activities across its portfolio of consumer and professional products with the goal of delivering superior value to consumers and customers and driving growth consistent with the Company's IGNITE strategy. These activities principally involve: development and improvement of product formulations, including cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing chemistries, food and flavor technologies, filtration systems, and skin health and hygiene solutions; innovation in packaging design, including efforts to reduce the use of plastic and develop recyclable, reusable or otherwise more sustainable packaging; development and improvement of manufacturing processes to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact; design and engineering of dispensing systems and related consumable products for professional and institutional applications; and the use of data analytics, artificial intelligence and digital tools to enhance consumer insights, accelerate product development, and optimize marketing effectiveness.
The Company's principal research and development facility is its campus in Pleasanton, California, which includes laboratories, pilot plants and sensory testing facilities. The Company also maintains research and development capabilities at other domestic and international locations, including in connection with the GOJO business acquired in April 2026.
Environmental Matters
For information regarding noncapital expenditures related to environmental matters, see the discussions below under “Risk Factors – Environmental matters create potential liabilities that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.” in Item 1.A. No material capital expenditures relating to environmental compliance are presently anticipated.
HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Purpose and Values
The Clorox Company is led by its purpose to champion people to be well and thrive every single day, including employees, consumers and communities served around the world.
Clorox employees are committed to making a meaningful, positive impact through their work and to authentically living the Company’s values: to do the right thing, put people at the center and play to win. These foundational values underpin everything the Company does and are essential to achieving long-term success.
The Company’s purpose and values also are fully embedded in its IGNITE strategy, alongside its integrated goals for sustainability, supported by strong corporate governance.
Workforce
As of June 30, 2026, the Company employed about 9,200 people worldwide, with 77% in the United States and 23% working outside the United States. Clorox's U.S. workforce includes 43% nonproduction employees and 57% production employees, while the workforce outside the United States includes 58% nonproduction employees and 42% production employees. The increase in number of employees during fiscal year 2026 was primarily due to the GOJO acquisition.
People are essential to Clorox’s efforts to drive growth and deliver value for all stakeholders. The Company believes its values-based culture connects to its purpose and helps its people be at their best. A workforce comprised of diverse backgrounds and experiences helps the Company better understand and meet the needs of its consumers. Clorox fosters an inclusive workplace to create stronger teams, unlock more innovation and – ultimately – contribute to its growth and success.
Clorox continues to conduct annual pay equity analyses for non-production employees in addition to monitoring pay trends throughout the year. This effort proactively identifies potential discrepancies and helps to ensure each employee is compensated fairly, regardless of race, ethnicity or gender.
More than a dozen employee resource groups (ERGs) help drive inclusion within Clorox and foster belonging, in part through greater understanding of different backgrounds and perspectives. These groups are open to all employees and serve as an important forum for talent recruiting and retention, professional development and open dialog that strengthens the Company’s workplace culture and, through regular volunteer opportunities, the communities employees call home. The ERGs also serve the business by serving as internal focus groups, inspiring product innovations, accelerating product placement plans and deepening knowledge of the Company's multicultural consumer base.
Hiring and Development
Clorox looks to continuously attract, develop and retain the best talent to deliver against its strategy and commitments, prioritizing career growth and leadership development to establish a strong foundation for long-term success. Company investments include a suite of training and education for people managers to help them become effective coaches and leaders; mentoring programs and initiatives to help build a strong talent pipeline; and summer internship and co-op programs for college hires. Clorox also conducts a robust talent review and leader succession planning process to ensure a strong pipeline for key roles.
Additionally, supported by its strategic investment in digital transformation and related productivity enhancements, the Company continues to strengthen new ways of working, including implementing new tools and technologies that allow employees to collaborate more effectively, work smarter and make faster, more informed decisions. Finally, in order to attract key prospective talent and continue to advance Clorox as an employer of choice, the Company continues to invest in its employer value proposition and career development and talent acquisition strategies.
Employee Engagement and Retention
In support of its efforts to actively listen to its workforce, engage in effective two-way dialog and embrace continuous improvement, Clorox conducts both annual and periodic pulse surveys. The Company surveys its employees to assess their perception of Clorox as a place to work as well as their views of leadership, the Company's IGNITE strategy and related
transformation, sense of inclusion and more. Company leadership then uses the engagement survey results to develop and deploy related action plans aimed at addressing employee feedback, strengthening the overall workplace culture and, importantly, retaining top talent.
Employee Safety and Well-Being
As a company dedicated to championing people to be well and thrive every single day, Clorox takes a holistic approach to caring for its employees, with benefits and programs designed to support physical, mental and financial well-being.
Consistent with its value of putting people at the center, the Company invests in workplace safety through a combination of education, training and related policies, while operating in compliance with applicable regulations, including Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines in the United States. In fiscal year 2026, the Company’s recordable incident rate (RIR)1 was 0.63. This was significantly lower than the 2.7 average RIR for U.S. goods manufacturing companies2 in 2024, which is the latest available data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics3.
The Company has continued to prioritize the mental health of its employees, partnering with external vendors to provide free and confidential mental health and lifestyle services as well as other related resources, tools and forums to employees and their families.
The Company also provides parents with support such as paid parental leave, adoption resources, family-forming benefits and subsidized childcare.
To support employees' financial well-being, the Company provides competitive compensation – including short- and long-term incentives – to attract and retain top talent. In addition, Clorox supports its employees' retirement readiness by contributing up to 10% of an employee's annual salary to their 401(k) plan each year and offering third-party financial planning services.
