Kimberly-Clark Reports Resilient Q3 2025 Driven by Innovative Product Launches and Strong Productivity

Kimberly-Clark Corporation delivered resilient third quarter 2025 results with net sales of $4.2 billion, consistent with the prior year. Organic sales grew 2.5%, driven primarily by a 2.4% increase in volume despite divestitures and business exits, including the exit from its private label diaper business in the US. Adjusted gross margin was 36.8%, down 170 basis points from the prior year, reflecting productivity gains offset by unfavorable pricing and tariff-driven costs. Adjusted operating profit was $683 million, in line with the prior year, supported by efficiency gains and lower marketing and incentive expenses. Diluted adjusted EPS was $1.82, broadly consistent with the previous year. The company reaffirmed its 2025 outlook with expectations for low single-digit adjusted operating profit growth and continued organic sales growth aligned with industry categories. Kimberly-Clark highlighted its strategy to transform into an industry-leading personal care company focused on durable, long-term growth.
