NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Amounts are reported in millions of dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The terms "Corporation," "Kimberly-Clark," "K-C," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Highly Inflationary Accounting

GAAP requires the use of highly inflationary accounting for countries whose cumulative three-year inflation exceeds 100%. Under highly inflationary accounting, the countries’ functional currency becomes the U.S. dollar, and its income statement and balance sheet are measured in U.S. dollars using both current and historical rates of exchange.

As of July 1, 2018, we adopted highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiaries in Argentina (“K-C Argentina”). The effect of changes in exchange rates on peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in Other (income) and expense, net. As of March 31, 2025, K-C Argentina had an immaterial net peso monetary position. Net sales of K-C Argentina were approximately 1% of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of April 1, 2022, we adopted highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiary in Türkiye (“K-C Türkiye”). The effect of changes in exchange rates on lira-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in Other (income) and expense, net. As of March 31, 2025, K-C Türkiye had an immaterial net lira monetary position. Net sales of K-C Türkiye were less than 1% of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of annual income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220). The new guidance requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of disaggregated information about specific expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. 2024 Transformation Initiative

On March 27, 2024, we announced the 2024 Transformation Initiative intended to improve our focus on growth and reduce our structural cost base by realigning our internal operating and management structure to streamline our global supply chain and improve the efficiency of our corporate and regional overhead cost structures. The transformation is expected to impact our organization in all major geographies, and workforce reductions are expected to be in the range of 4% to 5%. Certain actions under the 2024 Transformation Initiative are being finalized for implementation, and accounting for such actions will commence when the actions are authorized for execution.

The 2024 Transformation Initiative is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with total costs anticipated to be approximately $1.5 billion pre-tax. Cash costs are expected to be approximately half of that amount, primarily related to workforce reductions. Expected non-cash charges are primarily related to incremental depreciation and asset write-offs, including losses associated with the expected exit of certain markets. Through March 31, 2025, cumulative pre-tax charges for the 2024 Transformation Initiative were $534 ($416 after-tax).

The following charges were incurred in connection with the 2024 Transformation Initiative:

Three Months Ended March 31
20252024

(a)We do not include 2024 Transformation Initiative charges within our segment operating results. Total impact of these charges to the NA, IPC and IFP segments were $27, $20 and $14, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $38, $3 and $4, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, with the residual relating to Corporate & Other. See further discussion around our segment operating results in Note 7.

The following summarizes the 2024 Transformation Initiative liabilities activity:

2024 Transformation Initiative liabilities as of January 1$130
Charges for workforce reductions and other cash exit costs43
Cash payments(60)
Currency and other(5)
2024 Transformation Initiative liabilities as of March 31$108

2024 Transformation Initiative liabilities as of March 31, 2025 of $108 are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The charges related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative are reflected within Operating Activities of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 3. Fair Value Information

The following fair value information is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable.

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the full year 2024, there were no significant transfers to or from level 3 fair value determinations.

Derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis at fair value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, derivative assets were $166 and $189, respectively, and derivative liabilities were $109 and $137, respectively. The fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and commodity price risk are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and interest rate swap curves and on commodity price quotations, respectively. The fair values of hedging instruments used to manage foreign currency risk are based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. Measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities is considered a level 2 measurement. See Note 6 for additional information on our use of derivative instruments.

Redeemable preferred securities of subsidiaries are measured on a recurring basis at their estimated redemption values, which approximate fair value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the securities were valued at $37. The securities are not traded in active markets, and their measurement is considered a level 3 measurement.

Company-owned life insurance ("COLI") assets are measured on a recurring basis at fair value. COLI assets were $71 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The COLI policies are a source of funding primarily for our nonqualified employee benefits and are included in Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The COLI policies are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient, and therefore, are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table includes the fair value of our financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required:

Fair Value Hierarchy LevelCarrying AmountEstimated Fair ValueCarrying AmountEstimated Fair Value
March 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents(a)1$563$563$1,021$1,021

Liabilities
Short-term debt(d)2515133
Long-term debt(e)27,1966,7077,4406,853

(a)Cash equivalents are composed of certificates of deposit, time deposits and other interest-bearing investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

(b)Time deposits are composed of deposits with original maturities of more than 90 days but less than one year and instruments with original maturities of greater than one year, included in Other current assets or Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as appropriate. Time deposits are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

(c)Non-US government bonds are composed of foreign issued debt securities that are classified as held-to-maturity because we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. These securities are recorded at amortized cost and are included in Other current assets or Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as appropriate.

(d)Short-term debt is composed of U.S. commercial paper and/or other similar short-term debt issued by non-U.S. subsidiaries, all of which are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

(e)Long-term debt includes the current portion of these debt instruments. Fair values were estimated based on quoted prices for financial instruments for which all significant inputs were observable, either directly or indirectly.

Note 4. Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

There are no adjustments required to be made to net income for purposes of computing basic and diluted EPS. The dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based awards is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method. The average number of common shares outstanding is reconciled to those used in the basic and diluted EPS computations as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31
(Millions of shares)20252024
Basic331.8336.9
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share unit awards1.51.4
Diluted333.3338.3

Options outstanding not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares were not material. The number of common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 331.9 million and 336.8 million, respectively.

Note 5. Stockholders' Equity

Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except those in highly inflationary economies, are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). For these operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, unrealized translation adjustments are recorded in AOCI rather than net income. Upon sale or substantially complete liquidation of any of these subsidiaries, the applicable unrealized translation adjustment would be removed from AOCI and reported as part of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation. The change in unrealized currency translation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the strengthening of certain foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar.

Also included in unrealized translation amounts are the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature and transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments.

The changes in the components of AOCI attributable to Kimberly-Clark, net of tax, are as follows:

Unrealized TranslationDefined Benefit Pension PlansOther Postretirement Benefit PlansCash Flow Hedges
Balance as of December 31, 2023$(2,678)$(791)$39$(152)
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications(144)3160

Net current period other comprehensive income (loss)148(2)(2)(13)
Balance as of March 31, 2025$(2,920)$(777)$45$17

(a) Included in Nonoperating expense as part of the computation of net periodic benefit costs.

(b) Included in Interest expense, Cost of products sold or Other (income) and expense, net, based on the income statement line that the hedged exposure affects earnings (see Note 6 for further details).

Note 6. Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivatives

As a multinational enterprise, we are exposed to financial risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. We employ a number of practices to manage these risks, including operating and financing activities and, where appropriate, the use of derivative instruments.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, derivative assets were $166 and $189, respectively, and derivative liabilities were $109 and $137, respectively, primarily comprised of foreign currency exchange, interest rate and commodity price contracts. Derivative assets are recorded in Other current assets or Other Assets, as appropriate, and derivative liabilities are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other Liabilities, as appropriate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Translation adjustments result from translating foreign entities' financial statements into U.S. dollars from their functional currencies. The risk to any particular entity's net assets is reduced to the extent that the entity is financed with local currency borrowings. A portion of our balance sheet translation exposure for certain affiliates, which results from changes in translation rates between the affiliates’ functional currencies and the U.S. dollar, is hedged with cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt which are designated as net investment hedges. The foreign currency exposure on certain non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany loans and accounts payable, is hedged primarily with undesignated derivative instruments.

Derivative instruments are used to hedge a portion of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies for non-U.S. operations' purchases of raw materials, which are priced in U.S. dollars, and imports of intercompany finished goods and work-in-process priced predominantly in U.S. dollars and euros. The derivative instruments used to manage these exposures are designated as cash flow hedges.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is managed using a portfolio of variable and fixed-rate debt composed of short and long-term instruments. Interest rate swap contracts may be used to facilitate the maintenance of the desired ratio of variable and fixed-rate debt and are designated as fair value hedges. From time to time, we also hedge the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt, and these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

Commodity Price Risk

We use derivative instruments, such as commodity forward and price swap contracts, to hedge a portion of our exposure to market risk arising from changes in prices of certain commodities. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges of specific quantities of the underlying commodity expected to be purchased in future months. In addition, we utilize negotiated contracts of varying durations along with strategic pricing mechanisms to manage volatility for a portion of our commodity costs.

Fair Value Hedges

Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are predominantly used to manage interest rate risk. The fair values of these derivative instruments are recorded as an asset or liability, as appropriate, with the offset recorded in Interest expense. The offset to the change in fair values of the related debt is also recorded in Interest expense. Any realized gain or loss on the derivatives that hedge interest rate risk is amortized to Interest expense over the life of the related debt. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate notional values and carrying values of debt subject to outstanding interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges were $525 and $492, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, gains or losses recognized in Interest expense for interest rate swaps were not material.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially recorded in AOCI, net of related income taxes, and recognized in earnings in the same income statement line and period that the hedged exposure affects earnings. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate notional value of outstanding foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $3.2 billion. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no material gains or losses were reclassified into Interest expense, Cost of products sold or Other (income) and expense, net as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to the original forecasted transaction no longer being probable of occurring. As of March 31, 2025, gains expected to be reclassified from AOCI into Interest expense, Cost of products sold or Other (income) and expense, net during the next twelve months are $24. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place as of March 31, 2025 is February 2028.

Net Investment Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the aggregate notional value was $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2025. We exclude the interest accruals on cross-currency swap contracts and the

forward points on foreign exchange forward contracts from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness. We recognize the interest accruals on cross-currency swap contracts in earnings within Interest expense. We amortize the forward points on foreign exchange contracts into earnings within Interest expense over the life of the hedging relationship. Changes in fair value of net investment hedges are recorded in AOCI and offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, unrealized losses of $20 and unrealized gains of $27, respectively, related to net investment hedge fair value changes were recorded in AOCI and no material amounts were reclassified from AOCI to Interest expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no material amounts were excluded from the assessment of net investment, fair value or cash flow hedge effectiveness.

Undesignated Hedging Instruments

Gains or losses on undesignated foreign exchange hedging instruments are immediately recognized in Other (income) and expense, net. Gains of $24 and losses of $23 were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by the transactional gains and losses recorded on the underlying assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, the notional value of these undesignated derivative instruments was approximately $3.4 billion.

Note 7. Segment Reporting

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we realigned our internal operating and management structure as part of the 2024 Transformation Initiative. As result, we manage and report our operations through operating segments that have been aggregated into three reportable segments defined by geographic regions and product groupings: North America ("NA"), International Personal Care ("IPC") and International Family Care and Professional ("IFP"). Further, our measure of segment profitability was changed to include the effects of changes in exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities for subsidiaries where we have adopted highly inflationary accounting. Segment results for the historical period presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect these changes.

The reportable segments were determined in accordance with how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), develops and executes global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses. The primary measure of segment profitability utilized by our CODM is segment operating profit. Our CODM uses this measure to assess the operating results and performance of our segments, perform analytical comparisons to budget and allocate resources to each segment. Segment operating profit excludes Corporate & Other, which primarily encompasses certain unallocated general corporate expenses, impairment charges, one-time (gains) or losses associated with acquisitions and divestitures, and costs related to our reorganization activities that are not associated with the ongoing operations of the segments. Our CODM does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources. Therefore, we do not disclose assets by segment.

The principal sources of revenue in each segment are described below:

  • North America** consists of products encompassing each of our five global daily-need categories across consumer and professional channels including disposable diapers, training and youth pants, swimpants, baby wipes, feminine and incontinence care products, reusable underwear, facial and bathroom tissue, paper towels, napkins, wipers, tissue, towels, soaps and sanitizers and other related products. These products are sold under the Huggies, Pull-Ups, GoodNites, Kotex, Poise, Depend, Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva, Wypall and other brand names.

  • International Personal Care** consists of three core categories — Baby & Child Care, Adult Care and Feminine Care, including disposable diapers, training and youth pants, swimpants, baby wipes, feminine and incontinence care products, reusable underwear and other related products. These products are sold under the Huggies, Kotex, Goodfeel, Intimus, Depend and other brand names.

  • International Family Care and Professional** consists of two core categories — Family Care and Professional, including facial and bathroom tissue, paper towels, napkins, wipers, tissue, towels, soaps and sanitizers and other related products. These products are sold under the Kleenex, Scott, Viva, Andrex, Scottex, Wypall and other brand names.

Supplier Finance Program

We have a supplier finance program managed through two global financial institutions under which we agree to pay the financial institutions the stated amount of confirmed invoices from our participating suppliers on the invoice due date. We, or the global financial institutions, may terminate our agreements at any time upon 30 days written notice. The global financial institutions may terminate our agreements at any time upon three days written notice in the event there are insufficient funds available for disbursement. We do not provide any forms of guarantees under these agreements. Supplier participation in the program is solely up to the supplier, and the participating suppliers negotiate their arrangements directly with the global financial institutions. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the program, and their participation has no bearing on our payment terms or amounts due. The payment terms that we have with our suppliers under this program generally range from 75 to 180 days and are considered commercially reasonable. The outstanding amount related to the suppliers participating in this program was $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and was recorded within Trade accounts payable.
