(1) Our 2015 net sales were negatively impacted by approximately $4.8 billion of unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuation compared to 2014. Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble in 2015 were negatively impacted by approximately $1.4 billion due to foreign exchange, $2.1 billion of non-cash impairment charges related to the Batteries business reported in discontinued operations and a $2.1 billion charge related to a change in accounting for our Venezuelan operations from consolidation to the cost method. These impacts are discussed more fully later in this Annual Report. (2) Diluted net earnings per share are calculated based on net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble. (3) These results exclude net sales in Corporate. Brand names referenced in this Annual Report are trademarks of The Procter & Gamble Company or one of its subsidiaries. All other brand names are trademarks of their respective owners. A.G. LAFLEY Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareowners, Fiscal 2015 was a tough year due to weakening developing market economics and the unprecedented negative impact of foreign exchange. Because we are a dollar-denominated company headquartered in the U.S., and given the reality of the geographic footprint of our business — with significant exposures in markets such as Brazil, Japan and Russia — Company worldwide sales and profits were negatively impacted by foreign exchange. All-in sales were down 5%, including the negative 6-point impact of foreign exchange. Organic sales grew 1%. Organic sales for our 10 core categories grew 2%, about one point below underlying market growth. On an all-in GAAP basis, earnings per share were $2.44, down due to significant one-time charges and restructuring costs. Core earnings per share were $4.02, down 2%, including a 13-point, $1.5 billion negative impact of foreign exchange. On a constant currency basis, core earnings per share were up 11%. 2 The Procter & Gamble Company In response to consumer demand, we broadened our U.S. portfolio with Tide PODS Plus Febreze, Tide PODS Free & Gentle and Tide PODS Original Scent. These offerings continue to fuel the Unit Dose segment, where P&G’s global retail sales are over $1.5 billion. Power Oral Care is an important P&G business with annual sales over $1 billion, including our most recent innovation — the first power toothbrush with Bluetooth® technology. Current household penetration is low, and we have significant growth potential using our proven model to grow penetration. Despite the sales and earnings pressures, we continued to generate strong adjusted free cash flow of $11.6 billion, increased the dividend for the 59th year in a row, and returned $11.9 billion to shareowners — $7.3 billion in dividends and $4.6 billion in share repurchase. Over the past five years, we’ve returned $60 billion to shareowners — $12 billion a year on average. We have announced our intention to return up to $70 billion to shareowners over the next four years through a combination of dividend payments, share retirement and share repurchase. Building a Better Company This year, P&G will be 178 years old. A company does not last for that long if its management is not willing to change anything and everything, except for its purpose and core values, to serve consumers and create value for shareowners. We are leading the most comprehensive series of changes in the Company’s history. We are putting the strategies and capabilities in place to transform P&G into a faster-growing, more profitable and far simpler company. We are putting the strategies and capabilities in place to transform P&G into a faster-growing, more profitable and far simpler company. We are recommitting ourselves to putting the consumer at the center of everything we do. The purpose of any business is to create a consumer and to serve that consumer better than anyone else can. That’s why we’re investing in capabilities to understand consumer needs better than ever. That’s why we’re investing in creating and building brands that consumers prefer. And that’s why we’re investing in innovative products that deliver better performance, quality, experiences and value. As we rededicate ourselves to the fundamentals of consumer-preferred brands and products, what has changed at P&G? What’s different, and how are we building a better P&G? A More Focused Business Portfolio We conducted a comprehensive diagnosis to answer a fundamental strategic question: Which businesses should P&G be in? We chose 10 business categories where P&G understands consumers and has leading market positions, strong brands, differentiated products and business models proven to grow and create value. These 10 categories have been growing faster, and their operating margins are higher than those of the total Company. Their sales and profits are highly concentrated in the top consumer markets around the world. Yet they have significant growth opportunity in big, developed countries such as the U.S., Germany, the U.K. and Japan, where household penetration rates can still be improved, and in developing markets such as China, Brazil, India, Russia, Turkey and Mexico, where P&G has been improving its strategic position. They have played and will continue to play to P&G’s core strengths: consumer understanding, innovation, productivity, branding, go-to-market execution and leveraging Company scale and scope. After decades of category extension and geographic expansion to get bigger, we are narrowing our focus to these 10 categories to get better. Ultimately, a more focused P&G will lead to becoming the best-performing company in the consumer products industry — winning with consumers and delivering the most consistent and reliable performance in our chosen categories, countries, channels and customers. Committed to Growth and Value Creation At P&G, we win with shoppers and consumers by providing consumer-preferred brands and products that become leading value creators in their categories. The best measure of winning is Operating Total Shareholder Return (TSR). We like Operating TSR because it is a single, coordinated and integrated measure of growth and value creation that brings together winning with shoppers and consumers to deliver sales growth, gross and operating margin improvement, and asset efficiency. The foundational building block of Operating TSR is operating cash flow, and our strong cash flow performance for many years has enabled reinvestment in the business and steady returns to shareowners. The second building block is operating margins, which we have started to improve and will continue to improve as we move into the core business portfolio and continue to execute our innovation and productivity programs with excellence. The third building block is organic sales growth, which has been modest, but will improve as we build household penetration on more of our brands and introduce an even stronger lineup of new and improved products that are coming to market over the next one, two and three years. Operating TSR is a balanced measure of performance, and everyone in the Company — the technician on the manufacturing floor, the sales person in the retail store, the scientist in the innovation lab — is focused on their contribution to deliver consistent and reliable growth and value creation. More Innovative and More Productive We have always believed that product innovation is the lifeblood of our business. We invent brands and products that create and transform categories, and that build consumer trial and create value in those categories for years — often for decades. Our brand and product innovations drive category market growth, which creates value for our retail customers and suppliers. We’re rededicating ourselves to product innovation that “wins from the top”— offering the best-performing products in the category, with the highest quality, at a modest price premium — yielding superior consumer value and growth. We’re investing more in R&D and The Procter & Gamble Company 3 SK-II, P&G’s billion-dollar prestige skin care brand, has introduced two new essentials: SK-II Mid-Day Miracle Essence and SK-II Mid-Night Miracle Essence, to deliver a boost of crystal-clear skin anytime, anywhere, and strengthen the skin barrier over time. We developed Pampers Premium Care Pants to delight moms and babies with comfort and skin protection. Pants are the preferred style in many countries and the fastest-growing segment of the diaper market. They’re available in China and Russia, and expanding to more markets. 4 The Procter & Gamble Company We extended Gillette FlexBall innovation to the market-leading women’s razor brand, with Venus Swirl. We’ve sold over 2.5 million Venus Swirl razors in the U.S., and Venus’ U.S. share of women’s system razors has grown over four points to 64% since Venus Swirl’s January 2015 launch. Unstopables has expanded from in-wash scent beads to a collection of products delivering sophisticated scent experiences for homes. With breakthrough fragrance technology and long-lasting, high-quality perfumes, sales of the Unstopables collection have grown to nearly $300 million globally. meaningful product innovation. Early examples include Pampers Swaddlers and Pants, Tide and Ariel PODS, Downy Unstopables, Pantene conditioners with advanced Pro-V science, Gillette FlexBall and Venus Swirl, and Oral-B Powerbrush. Each of these product innovations is building or is expected to build its category and brand sales — and there are more to come. Innovation is our lifeblood, but what has changed is the realization that we cannot deliver consistent and reliable growth and value creation without continuous improvement in productivity. We are implementing the biggest supply chain redesign in the Company’s history. We are moving to fewer categories, brands, initiatives, product lines and SKUs. We are consolidating to fewer plants, agencies, suppliers and organizations. We are focusing on fewer priorities and activities. This is leading to lower costs in overhead, cost-of-goods-sold, marketing and trade spending. In turn, this is driving more focus and more savings to reinvest in accelerating growth of the leading brands, the most significant product innovations, and the countries and customers with the highest potential for sales, profit and cash growth. Better Execution We are rededicating ourselves to the power of execution. We are raising our standards to be the best at execution. We are renewing focus on gaining trial among consumers at the point of market entry. We are recommitting to superior advertising to create awareness and sampling clearly superior-performing products to attract consumers to our brands. We are investing in our sales force to build profitable distribution and shelf assortment. We are investing in a more agile, flexible and faster distribution network to reduce out-of-stocks and optimize inventory. And we are renewing our manufacturing operations to improve quality and to accelerate innovation at lower cash, capital and operating costs. Execution is the only strategy a consumer sees, and we intend to be the best. Better Balance P&G is a company that needs balance to win. Whenever we get out of balance, we underperform. We win when we deliver balanced sales growth and profit growth. We win when we leverage both innovation and productivity. We win when we have clear strategies and execute with excellence. Consumers and shareowners expect balance from P&G. We are making changes to achieve this balance, to deliver consistent and reliable growth and value creation for the short-, mid- and long-term. Stronger Ownership Personal leadership, accountability and ownership have always been core values for P&G people. But as a company becomes bigger, more global and more complex, it can become more difficult for individuals to feel strong personal ownership in their connection to business unit success. We have simplified the organization to bring a higher level of business ownership to each business leader and to every P&G person. We have linked individual performance to each person’s contribution to Operating TSR at every level of the Company. The intent is for P&G people to be engaged in serving consumers and shoppers, driving product innovation and productivity, sourcing and distributing brands and products, and executing programs to win with consumers and shareowners — many of whom are P&G employees. Strong Leadership On November 1, David Taylor will become P&G’s next CEO. David is an accomplished leader with 35 years of proven results in many of P&G’s businesses and functions in multiple markets around the world. His breadth of experience and track record of success are strong. He is hands-on, with deep knowledge of consumers and categories. He is focused and strategic, with strong operational leadership to take action and execute with excellence. David has played a central role in working with P&G leadership, the Board and me on developing the strategies and business portfolio to win with consumers and deliver balanced growth and value creation. As CEO, David will focus on leading P&G’s transformation with excellence. As Executive Chairman, I look forward to supporting David, the leadership team and you. I will continue to chair the Board of Directors and provide advice and counsel to David and P&G leadership on Company and business unit strategies, portfolio choices and organization decisions. A Better P&G We are transforming into a better P&G. The foundation is based on P&G’s Purpose, Values and Principles. The consumer is at the center of everything we do. We will win consistently with about 65 leading brands organized into 10 businesses in industry-based sectors. We will go to market in six regions through about 30 country clusters. We will create value through consumer-preferred brands and products that win at the zero, first and second moments of truth. We will play P&G’s game to our core strengths — positioned to grow again through the power of P&G brands, products and people. It won’t all happen immediately, and some quarters will be better than others — but the choices we’ve made matter. The new P&G will grow sales, profit and cash more consistently and more sustainably to create value more reliably for P&G shareowners. A.G. LAFLEY Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer The Procter & Gamble Company 5 The NyQuil SEVERE and DayQuil SEVERE launch was the largest in the Cold & Flu category in North America since 2012, delivering maximum-strength symptom- fighting ingredients to consumers. SEVERE gained trial in 8.5+ million households and grew total DayQuil and NyQuil sales. Head & Shoulders, our largest shampoo brand and the #1 shampoo brand globally,† has grown organic sales for the past 20 years. This year we launched the Instant Relief Collection in the U.S., designed to provide cooling scalp relief with the first wash. †P&G calculation based on Nielsen sales information. 6 The Procter & Gamble Company P&G — A Company of Leading Brands BABY, FEMININE AND FAMILY CARE $20.2 billion NET SALES† BABY CARE Subcategories: Baby Wipes, Diapers and Pants FAMILY CARE Subcategories: Paper Towels, Tissues, Toilet Paper FEMININE CARE Subcategories: Adult Incontinence, Feminine Care FABRIC AND HOME CARE $22.3 billion NET SALES† FABRIC CARE Subcategories: Fabric Enhancers, Laundry Additives, Laundry Detergents HOME CARE Subcategories: Air Care, Dish Care, P&G Professional, Surface Care The Procter & Gamble Company 7 P&G is focusing on 10 product categories with about 65 brands. These 10 categories have been growing faster, and their operating margins are higher than those of the total Company. P&G is the leader in seven of these categories and is #2 in the remaining three, with significant growth potential in all of them. They play to P&G’s core strengths: consumer understanding, innovation, productivity, branding, go-to-market execution and leveraging Company scale and scope. We are well positioned to build consumer trial and create value in these categories, and drive category market growth, which creates value for our retail customers and suppliers. Across the 10 categories, P&G has 21 brands with annual sales of $1 billion to about $10 billion, and 11 brands with sales of $500 million to $1 billion — many of those with billion- dollar potential.

(cid:37)usiness. Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)(cid:30) Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms the (cid:5)Company,(cid:5) (cid:5)P&G,(cid:5) (cid:5)we,(cid:5) (cid:5)our(cid:5) or (cid:5)us(cid:5) as used herein refer to The Procter & Gamble Company (the registrant) and its subsidiaries. The Procter & Gamble Company is focused on providing branded consumer packaged goods of superior quality and value to improve the lives of the world's consumers. The Company was incorporated in Ohio in 1905, having been built from a business founded in 1837 by (cid:58)illiam Procter and James Gamble. Today, we sell our products in more than 180 countries and territories. Throughout this Form 10-K, we incorporate by reference information from other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-(cid:52) and current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments thereto, are filed electronically with the SEC. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains these reports at: www.sec.gov. You can also access these reports through links from our website at: www.pginvestor.com. Copies of these reports are also available, without charge, by contacting Computershare Inc., 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021. Financial Information a(cid:69)out Segments As of June 30, 2015 the Company has five reportable segments under U.S. GAAP: (cid:37)eauty, Hair and Personal Care(cid:30) Grooming(cid:30) Health Care(cid:30) Fabric Care and Home Care(cid:30) and (cid:37)aby, Feminine and Family Care. Many of the factors necessary for understanding these businesses are similar. Operating margins of the individual businesses vary due to the nature of materials and processes used to manufacture the products, the capital intensity of the businesses and differences in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. Net sales growth by business is also expected to vary slightly due to the underlying growth of the markets and product categories in which they operate. (cid:58)hile none of our reportable segments are highly seasonal, components within certain reportable segments, such as Appliances (Grooming) and Prestige Fragrances ((cid:37)eauty, Hair and Personal Care) are seasonal. Additional information about our reportable segments can be found in the MD&A and Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Narrati(cid:89)e Descri(cid:83)tion of Business competitive. Our products are sold in more than 180 countries and territories around the world primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, salons, e-commerce, high-frequency stores and pharmacies. (cid:58)e utilize our superior marketing and online presence to win with consumers at the (cid:5)zero moment of truth(cid:5) - when they are searching for information about a brand or product. (cid:58)e work collaboratively with our customers to improve the in-store presence of our products and win the (cid:5)first moment of truth(cid:5) - when a consumer is shopping in the store. (cid:58)e must also win the (cid:5)second moment of truth(cid:5) - when a consumer uses the product, evaluates how well it met his or her expectations and decides whether it was a good value. (cid:58)e believe we must continue to provide new, innovative products and branding to the consumer in order to grow our business. Research and product development activities, designed to enable sustained organic growth, continued to carry a high priority during the past fiscal year. (cid:58)hile many of the benefits from these efforts will not be realized until future years, we believe these activities demonstrate our commitment to future growth. Ke(cid:92) Product Categories. Information on key product categories can be found in Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Ke(cid:92) Customers. Our customers include mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, salons, distributors, e-commerce and high- frequency stores. Sales to (cid:58)al-Mart Stores, Inc. and its affiliates represent approximately 14(cid:8) of our total revenue in 2015, 2014 and 2013. No other customer represents more than 10(cid:8) of our net sales. Our top ten customers account for approximately 33(cid:8) of our total sales in 2015, 2014 and 2013. The nature of our business results in no material backlog orders or contracts with the government. (cid:58)e believe our practices related to working capital items for customers and suppliers are consistent with the industry segments in which we compete. Sources and A(cid:89)aila(cid:69)ilit(cid:92) of Materials. Almost all of the raw and packaging materials used by the Company are purchased from others, some of which are single-source suppliers. (cid:58)e produce certain raw materials, primarily chemicals, for further use in the manufacturing process. In addition, fuel, natural gas and derivative products are important commodities consumed in our manufacturing process and in the distribution of input materials and finished product to customers. The prices we to pay for materials and other commodities are subject fluctuation. (cid:58)hen prices for these items change, we may or may not pass the change to our customers. The Company purchases a substantial variety of other raw and packaging materials, none of which is material to our business taken as a whole. Business Model. Our business model relies on the continued growth and success of existing brands and products, as well as the creation of new products. The markets and industry segments in which we offer our products are highly Trademarks and Patents. (cid:58)e own or have licenses under patents and registered trademarks which are used in connection with our activity in all businesses.

The following discussion of (cid:178)risk factors(cid:179) identifies significant factors that may adversely affect our business, operations, financial position or future financial performance. This information should be read in conjunction with the MD&A and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes incorporated in this report. The following discussion of risks is not all inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider when evaluating our expectations. These and other factors could cause our future results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical trends. used to manufacture our products. The trademarks are important to the overall marketing and branding of our products. All major trademarks in each business are registered. In part, our success can be attributed to the existence and continued protection of these trademarks, patents and licenses. Com(cid:83)etiti(cid:89)e Condition. The markets in which our products are sold are highly competitive. Our products compete against similar products of many large and small companies, including well-known global competitors. In many of the markets and industry segments in which we sell our products we compete against other branded products as well as retailers' private-label brands. (cid:58)e are well positioned in the industry segments and markets in which we operate, often holding a leadership or significant market share position. (cid:58)e support our products with advertising, promotions and other marketing vehicles to build awareness and trial of our brands and products in conjunction with an extensive sales force. (cid:58)e believe this combination provides the most efficient method of marketing for these types of products. Product quality, performance, value and packaging are also important differentiating factors. Research and De(cid:89)elo(cid:83)ment Ex(cid:83)enditures. Research and development expenditures enable us to develop technologies and obtain patents across all categories in order to meet the needs and improve the lives of our consumers.

Operations outside the U.S. are generally characterized by the same conditions discussed in the description of the business above and may be affected by including changing currency values, additional different rates of inflation, economic growth and political and factors The Procter & Gamble Company 14 Our (cid:69)usiness is su(cid:69)(cid:77)ect to numerous risks as a result of our ha(cid:89)ing significant o(cid:83)erations and sales in international markets, including foreign currenc(cid:92) fluctuations, currenc(cid:92) exchange or (cid:83)ricing controls and locali(cid:93)ed (cid:89)olatilit(cid:92).

(cid:58)e hold assets, incur liabilities, earn revenues and pay expenses in a variety of currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and our operations outside the U.S. generate a significant portion of our net revenue. Fluctuations in exchange rates for foreign currencies, such as the recent volatility in the Russian ruble, may reduce the U.S. dollar value of revenues, profits and cash flows we receive from non-U.S. markets, increase our supply costs (as measured in U.S. dollars) in those markets, or otherwise adversely impact our business results or financial condition. Moreover, discriminatory or conflicting fiscal policies in different countries could adversely affect our results. See also the Results of Operations and Cash Flow, Financial Condition and Liquidity sections of the MD&A and Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. (cid:58)e also have sizable businesses and maintain local currency cash balances in a number of foreign countries with exchange, import authorization, pricing or other controls, including Argentina, China, Egypt, Greece, India, Nigeria, Ukraine and (cid:57)enezuela. Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted if we are unable to successfully manage such controls and repatriate earnings from overseas, or if new or increased tariffs, quotas, exchange or price controls, trade barriers or similar restrictions are imposed on our business outside the U.S., such as the current year impact of deconsolidating our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries as discussed in this Form 10-K. Additionally, our business, operations or employees may be affected by political volatility, labor market disruptions or other crises or vulnerabilities in individual countries or regions, including political instability or upheaval, broad economic instability or sovereign risk related to a default by or deterioration in the credit worthiness of local governments, particularly in emerging markets, which could negatively impact our financial condition or results of operations. glo(cid:69)al economic conditions, Uncertain including disru(cid:83)tions in credit markets or changes to our credit rating, ma(cid:92) ad(cid:89)ersel(cid:92) im(cid:83)act demand for our (cid:83)roducts, cause our customers and other (cid:69)usiness (cid:83)artners to suffer financial hardshi(cid:83) or reduce our access to credit, all of which could ad(cid:89)ersel(cid:92) im(cid:83)act our (cid:69)usiness. Our business could be negatively impacted by reduced demand for our products related to one or more significant local, regional or global economic disruptions, such as: a slow-down in the general economy(cid:30) reduced market growth rates(cid:30) tighter credit markets for our suppliers, vendors or customers(cid:30) or the inability to conduct day-to-day transactions through our financial intermediaries to pay funds to or collect funds from our customers, vendors and suppliers. Additionally, economic conditions may cause our suppliers, distributors, contractors or other third party partners to suffer financial difficulties that they cannot overcome, resulting in their inability to provide us with the materials and services we need, in which case our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Customers may also suffer financial hardships due to economic conditions such that their accounts become uncollectible or are subject to longer collection cycles. If we are unable to generate sufficient income and cash flow, it could affect the Company(cid:181)s ability to achieve expected share repurchase and dividend payments. Adisruption in the credit markets or a downgrade of our current credit rating could increase our future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, which could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources or significantly increase our cost of capital. Disru(cid:83)tion in our glo(cid:69)al su(cid:83)(cid:83)l(cid:92) chain ma(cid:92) negati(cid:89)el(cid:92) im(cid:83)act our (cid:69)usiness results. Our ability to meet our customers(cid:181) needs and achieve cost targets depends on our ability to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including execution of our previously-announced supply chain simplifications and certain sole supplier or sole manufacturing plant arrangements. The loss or disruption of such manufacturing and supply arrangements, including for issues such as labor disputes, loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, inability to procure sufficient raw or input materials, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism or other external factors over which we have no control, could interrupt product supply and, if not effectively managed and remedied, have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our (cid:69)usinesses face cost fluctuations and (cid:83)ressures that could affect our (cid:69)usiness results. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in the prices of commodities and raw materials and the costs of labor, transportation, energy, pension and healthcare. Therefore, our business results are dependent, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost saving projects and sourcing decisions, while maintaining and improving margins and market share. In addition, our financial projections include cost savings described in our announced productivity plan. Failure to manage these fluctuations and deliver the planned cost savings could adversely impact our financial results. Our a(cid:69)ilit(cid:92) to meet our growth targets de(cid:83)ends on successful (cid:83)roduct, marketing and o(cid:83)erations inno(cid:89)ation and successful res(cid:83)onses to com(cid:83)etiti(cid:89)e inno(cid:89)ation. (cid:58)e are a consumer products company that relies on continued global demand for our brands and products. Achieving our business results depends, in part, on successfully developing, introducing and marketing new products and on making significant improvements to our equipment and manufacturing processes. The success of such innovation depends on our ability to correctly anticipate customer and consumer to obtain, maintain and enforce acceptance and trends, necessary intellectual property protections and to avoid infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. (cid:58)e must also be able to successfully respond to technological advances made by, and intellectual property rights granted to, competitors. Failure to do so could compromise our competitive position and adversely impact our results. The a(cid:69)ilit(cid:92) to achie(cid:89)e our (cid:69)usiness o(cid:69)(cid:77)ecti(cid:89)es is de(cid:83)endent on how well we can com(cid:83)ete with our local and glo(cid:69)al com(cid:83)etitors in new and existing markets and channels. The consumer products industry is highly competitive. Across all of our categories, we compete against a wide variety of global and local competitors. As a result, we experience ongoing competitive pressures in the environments in which we operate, as well as challenges in maintaining profit margins. This includes, among other things, increasing competition from mid- and lower-tier value products, including private-label products, in both developed and developing markets. To address these challenges, we must be able to successfully respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives and trade terms. In addition, the emergence of new sales channels and business models may affect customer and consumer preferences as well as market dynamics. Failure to successfully respond to competitive factors and effectively compete in new sales channels could negatively impact our results. A significant change in customer relationshi(cid:83)s or in customer demand for our (cid:83)roducts could ha(cid:89)e a significant im(cid:83)act on our (cid:69)usiness. (cid:58)e sell most of our products via retail customers, which include mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department salons, distributors, e- stores, commerce and high-frequency stores. Our success is dependent on our ability to successfully manage relationships with our retail trade customers, which includes our ability to offer trade terms that are mutually acceptable and are aligned with our pricing and profitability targets. Continued consolidation among our retail customers could create significant cost and margin pressure on our business, and our reach business performance could suffer agreement with a key customer based on our trade terms and principles. Our business could also be negatively impacted if a key customer were to significantly reduce the inventory level of our products or experience a significant business disruption. if we cannot If the re(cid:83)utation of the Com(cid:83)an(cid:92) or one or more of our (cid:69)rands erodes significantl(cid:92), it could ha(cid:89)e a material im(cid:83)act on our financial results. The Company's reputation, and the reputation of our brands, form the foundation of our relationships with key stakeholders and other constituencies, including consumers, customers and suppliers. The quality and safety of our products are critical to our business. Many of our brands have worldwide recognition, and our financial success is directly dependent on the success of our brands. The success of our brands can suffer if our marketing plans or product initiatives do not have the desired impact on a brand's image or its ability to attract consumers. Our results could also be negatively impacted if one of our brands suffers a substantial impediment to its 15 The Procter & Gamble Company reputation due to a significant product recall, product-related litigation, allegations of product tampering or the distribution and sale of counterfeit products. Additionally, negative or inaccurate postings or comments on social media or networking websites about the Company or one of its brands could generate adverse publicity that could damage the reputation of our brands or the Company. If we are unable to effectively manage real or perceived issues, including concerns about safety, quality, efficacy or similar matters, sentiments toward the Company or our products could be negatively impacted and our financial results could suffer. Our Company also devotes significant time and resources to programs that are consistent with our corporate values and are designed to protect and preserve our reputation, such as social responsibility and environmental sustainability. If these programs are not executed as planned or suffer negative publicity, the Company's reputation and financial results could be adversely impacted. We rel(cid:92) on third (cid:83)arties in man(cid:92) as(cid:83)ects of our (cid:69)usiness, which creates additional risk. Due to the scale and scope of our business, we must rely on relationships with third parties, including our suppliers, distributors, contractors, joint venture partners or external business partners, for certain functions. If we are unable to effectively manage our third party relationships and the agreements under which our third party partners operate, our financial results could suffer. Additionally, while we have policies and procedures for managing these relationships, they inherently involve a lesser degree of control over business operations, governance and compliance, thereby potentially increasing our financial, legal, reputational and operational risk. A (cid:69)reach of information securit(cid:92), including a c(cid:92)(cid:69)ersecurit(cid:92) (cid:69)reach or failure of one or more ke(cid:92) information technolog(cid:92) s(cid:92)stems, networks, hardware, (cid:83)rocesses, associated sites or ser(cid:89)ice (cid:83)ro(cid:89)iders could ha(cid:89)e a material ad(cid:89)erse im(cid:83)act on our (cid:69)usiness or re(cid:83)utation. (cid:58)e rely extensively on information technology (IT) systems, networks and services, including internet sites, data hosting and processing facilities and tools and other hardware, software and technical applications and platforms, some of which are managed, hosted, provided and(cid:18)or used by third-parties or their vendors, to assist in conducting our business. The various uses of these IT systems, networks and services include, but are not limited to: ordering and managing materials from suppliers(cid:30) converting materials to finished products(cid:30) shipping products to customers(cid:30) (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) marketing and selling products to consumers(cid:30) (cid:135) employee, vendor, collecting, transmitting, transferring and storing customer, consumer, and other investor stakeholder information and personal data(cid:30) summarizing and reporting results of operations(cid:30) hosting, appropriate, and confidential and proprietary research, business plans and financial information(cid:30) complying with regulatory, legal and tax requirements(cid:30) processing sharing, as (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) The Procter & Gamble Company 16 (cid:135) (cid:135) providing data security(cid:30) and handling other processes necessary to manage our business. Furthermore, if pending legal matters result in fines or costs in excess of the amounts accrued to date, that may also materially impact our results of operations and financial position. and adequate implementing Numerous and evolving information security threats, including advanced persistent cybersecurity threats, pose a risk to the security of our IT systems, networks and services, as well as the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. As cybersecurity threats rapidly evolve in sophistication and the become more prevalent across the industry globally, Company is continually increasing its sensitivity and attention to these threats. (cid:58)e continue to assess potential threats and make investments seeking to address these threats, including monitoring of networks and systems and upgrading skills, employee training and security policies for the Company and its third-party providers. However, because the techniques used in these attacks change frequently and may be difficult to detect for periods of time, we may face difficulties in preventative anticipating measures. Our IT systems have been, and will likely continue to be, subject to computer viruses or other malicious codes, unauthorized access attempts, phishing and other cyber- attacks. To date, we have seen no material impact on our business or operations from these attacks(cid:30) however, we cannot guarantee that our security efforts will prevent breaches or breakdowns to our or our third-party providers(cid:181) databases or systems. If the IT systems, networks or service providers we rely upon fail to function properly, or if we or one of our third- party providers suffer a loss, significant unavailability of or disclosure of our business or stakeholder information, due to any number of causes, ranging from catastrophic events or power outages to improper data handling or security breaches, and our business continuity plans do not effectively address these failures on a timely basis, we may be exposed to reputational, competitive and business harm as well as litigation and regulatory action. The costs and operational consequences of responding to breaches and implementing remediation measures could be significant. We must successfull(cid:92) manage com(cid:83)liance with legislation, regulation and enforcement, as well as (cid:83)ending legal matters in the U.S. and a(cid:69)road. Our business is subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations across all of the countries in which we do business, including those laws and regulations involving intellectual property, product liability, marketing, antitrust, privacy, environmental, employment, anti-bribery or anti-corruption (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) or other matters. Rapidly changing laws, regulations and related interpretations, including changes in accounting standards, as well as increased enforcement actions, create challenges for our compliance and ethics programs and may alter the environment in which we do business. If we are unable to continue to meet these challenges and comply with all laws, regulations and related interpretations, it could negatively impact our reputation and our business results. Failure to successfully manage regulatory and legal matters and resolve such matters without significant liability or damage to our reputation may materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial position. Changes in a(cid:83)(cid:83)lica(cid:69)le tax regulations could negati(cid:89)el(cid:92) affect our financial results. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. (cid:37)ecause the U.S. maintains a worldwide corporate tax system, the foreign and U.S. tax systems are somewhat interdependent. For example, certain income that is earned and taxed in countries outside the U.S. is not taxed in the U.S., provided those earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. If those same foreign earnings are instead repatriated to the U.S., additional residual U.S. taxation will likely occur, due to the U.S.(cid:181)s worldwide tax system and higher U.S. corporate tax rate. The U.S. is considering corporate tax reform that may significantly change the corporate tax rate and the U.S. international tax rules. Additionally, longstanding international that determine each country(cid:181)s jurisdiction to tax cross-border international trade are evolving, such as the (cid:37)ase Erosion and Profit Shifting project ((cid:178)(cid:37)EPS(cid:5)) currently being undertaken by the G8, G20, and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ((cid:5)OECD(cid:5)). As these and other tax laws and related regulations change, our financial results could be materially impacted. Given the unpredictability of these possible changes and their potential interdependency, it is very difficult to assess whether the overall effect of such potential tax changes would be cumulatively positive or negative for our earnings and cash flow, but such changes could adversely impact our financial results. tax norms If we are una(cid:69)le to successfull(cid:92) execute our (cid:83)ortfolio o(cid:83)timi(cid:93)ation strateg(cid:92), as well as successfull(cid:92) manage ongoing ac(cid:84)uisition, (cid:77)oint (cid:89)enture and di(cid:89)estiture acti(cid:89)ities, it could ad(cid:89)ersel(cid:92) im(cid:83)act our (cid:69)usiness. In August 2014, the Company announced a plan to significantly streamline our product portfolio by divesting, discontinuing or consolidating about 100 non-strategic brands, resulting in a portfolio of about 65 brands. The Company has announced a series of transactions that will substantially complete this plan. It will take time to execute this plan, and our ability to successfully do so could impact our results. financial Specifically, our In addition, as a company that manages a portfolio of consumer brands, our ongoing business model includes a certain level of acquisition, joint venture and divestiture activities. (cid:58)e must be able to successfully manage the impacts of these activities, the same time delivering against our business while at objectives. results could be adversely impacted by the dilutive impacts from the loss of earnings associated with divested brands. Our financial results could also be impacted in the event of acquisitions or joint venture activities if: 1) changes in the cash flows or other market-based assumptions cause the value of acquired assets to fall below book value, or 2) we are not able to deliver the expected cost and growth synergies associated with such acquisitions and joint ventures, which could also have an impact on goodwill and intangible assets. 17 The Procter & Gamble Company Manufactura, S. de R.L. de C.(cid:57).

The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. The MD&A is organized in the following sections: (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) (cid:135) Overview Summary of 2015 Results Economic Conditions and Uncertainties Results of Operations Segment Results Cash Flow, Financial Condition and Liquidity Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates Other Information Throughout the MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance, including unit volume growth, net sales and net earnings. (cid:58)e also refer to a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), including organic sales growth, core earnings per share (Core EPS), free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow productivity. Organic sales growth is net sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures. Core EPS is diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding certain specified charges and gains. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital spending. Adjusted free cash flow is free cash flow excluding tax payments for the Pet Care divestiture. Adjusted free cash flow productivity is the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings excluding impairment charges on the (cid:37)atteries business and the (cid:57)enezuelan deconsolidation charge. (cid:58)e believe these measures provide our investors with additional information about our underlying results and trends, as well as insight to some of the metrics used to evaluate management. The explanation at the end of the MD&A provides more details on the use and derivation of these measures. Management also uses certain market share and market consumption estimates to evaluate performance relative to competition despite some limitations on the availability and share and consumption information. comparability of References to market share and market consumption in the MD&A are based on a combination of vendor-reported consumption and market size data, as well as internal estimates. All market share references represent the percentage of sales in dollar terms on a constant currency basis of our products, relative to all product sales in the category and are measured on an annual basis versus the prior 12-month period. References to competitive activity include promotional and product initiatives from our competitors. OVERVIEW P&G is a global leader in fast-moving consumer goods, focused on providing branded consumer packaged goods of superior quality and value to our consumers around the world. Our products are sold in more than 180 countries and territories primarily through mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, salons, and distributors, pharmacies. in approximately 70 countries. (cid:58)e have on-the-ground operations high-frequency e-commerce, stores Our market environment is highly competitive with global, regional and local competitors. In many of the markets and industry segments in which we sell our products, we compete against other branded products as well as retailers' private-label brands. Additionally, many of the product segments in which we compete are differentiated by price tiers (referred to as super-premium, premium, mid-tier and value-tier products). (cid:58)e are well positioned in the industry segments and markets in which we operate, often holding a leadership or significant market share position. 23 The Procter & Gamble Company ORGANI(cid:61)ATIONAL STRUCTURE Our organizational structure is comprised of Global (cid:37)usiness Units (G(cid:37)Us), Selling and Market Operations (SMOs), Global (cid:37)usiness Services (G(cid:37)S) and Corporate Functions (CF). Glo(cid:69)al Business Units Our Global (cid:37)usiness Units (G(cid:37)Us) are organized into four industry-based sectors, comprised of 1) Global (cid:37)eauty, 2) Global Health and Grooming, 3) Global Fabric and Home Care and 4) Global (cid:37)aby, Feminine and Family Care. Under U.S. GAAP, the G(cid:37)Us underlying the four sectors are aggregated into five reportable segments: (cid:37)eauty, Hair and Personal Care(cid:30) Grooming(cid:30) Health Care(cid:30) Fabric Care and Home Care(cid:30) and (cid:37)aby, Feminine and Family Care. The G(cid:37)Us are responsible for developing overall brand strategy, new product upgrades and innovations and marketing plans. The following provides additional detail on our reportable segments and the key product categories and brand composition within each segment.

Recent Developments: As of June 30, 2015, the Company deconsolidated our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries and began accounting for our investment in those subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting. This change resulted in a fourth quarter fiscal 2015 one-time after-tax charge of $2.1 billion ($0.71 per share). In future periods, our financial results will only include sales of finished goods to our (cid:57)enezuela subsidiaries to the extent we receive cash payments from (cid:57)enezuela (expected to be largely through the CENCOEX exchange market). Accordingly, we will no longer include the results of our local (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries' operations in future reporting periods (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and additional discussion in this MD&A under (cid:5)(cid:57)enezuela Impacts(cid:5) in Results of Operations). InAugust 2014, the Company announced a plan to significantly streamline our product portfolio by divesting, discontinuing or consolidating about 100 non-strategic brands. The resulting portfolio of about 65 key brands will retain about 85(cid:8) of sales and 95(cid:8) of before-tax profit. On July 9, 2015, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement with Coty, Inc. to divest four product categories, including 43 of its beauty brands to Coty Inc. Coty's offer was $12.5 billion. (cid:58)hile the final value of the transaction will be determined at closing, based on Coty's stock price and outstanding shares and equity grants as of the date of signing, the value of the transaction was approximately $15.0 billion. (cid:58)hile the ultimate form of the transaction has not yet been decided, the Company(cid:181)s current preference is for a Reverse Morris Trust split-off transaction in which P&G shareholders could elect to participate in an exchange offer to exchange P&G shares for Coty shares. The transaction includes P&G(cid:181)s global salon professional hair care and color, retail hair color, cosmetics and fine fragrance categories, along with select hair styling brands, all of which have historically been part of the Company's (cid:37)eauty, Hair and Personal Care reportable segment and had net sales of $5.5 billion in fiscal year 2015. The Company expects to complete this beauty transaction by the end of calendar year 2016. For the period ended June 30, 2015, the results of the affected beauty categories and brands remain part of our continuing operations. (cid:37)eginning with fiscal year 2015-16 reported results, the earnings, assets and liabilities from the affected beauty businesses will be reported as discontinued operations. On November 13, 2014, the Company announced that it plans to divest the (cid:37)atteries business via a split transaction with (cid:37)erkshire Hathaway valued at $2.9 billion, in which it will exchange a recapitalized Duracell Company for (cid:37)erkshire Hathaway(cid:181)s shares of Procter & Gamble stock. The Company had previously sold its controlling interest in a China-based batteries joint venture, which represented the balance of the The Procter & Gamble Company 24 Company(cid:181)s (cid:37)atteries business, during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The Company expects to complete the Duracell transaction in the beginning of calendar year 2016, pending necessary regulatory approvals. The (cid:37)atteries business had historically been part of the Company(cid:181)s Fabric Care and Home Care reportable segment. The results of the (cid:37)atteries business are now presented as discontinued operations and, as such, are excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, the (cid:37)atteries balance sheet positions as of June 30, 2015 are presented as held for sale in the Consolidated (cid:37)alance Sheets. During fiscal 2015, the Company completed the divestiture of its Pet Care business. The gain on the transaction was not material. The results of the Pet Care business are now presented as discontinued operations and, as such, are excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, the Pet Care balance sheet positions as of June 30, 2014 are presented as held for sale in the Consolidated (cid:37)alance Sheets. (cid:58)ith these transactions and other recently completed and announced minor brand divestitures, the Company will have substantially completed the strategic portfolio reshaping program with 93 out of approximately 100 brands having been sold, discontinued or consolidated.

Most of the beauty markets in which we compete are highly fragmented with a large number of global and local competitors. (cid:58)e compete in beauty care, hair care and color and prestige. In beauty care, we offer a wide variety of products, ranging from deodorants to cosmetics to skin care, such as our Olay brand, which is the top facial skin care brand in the world with over 8(cid:8) global market share. In hair care and color, we compete in both the retail and salon professional channels. (cid:58)e are the global market leader in the retail hair care and color market with over 20(cid:8) global market share primarily behind our Pantene and Head & Shoulders brands.

(cid:42)(cid:85)oom(cid:76)n(cid:74): (cid:58)e are the global market leader in the blades and razors market. Our global blades and razors market share is over 65(cid:8), primarily behind the Gillette franchise including Fusion, Mach3, Prestobarba and (cid:57)enus. Our electronic hair removal devices, such as electric razors and epilators, are sold under the (cid:37)raun brand in a number of markets around the world where we compete against both global and regional competitors. (cid:58)e hold over 20(cid:8) of the male shavers market and nearly 50(cid:8) of the female epilators market. (cid:43)e(cid:68)lt(cid:75) (cid:38)(cid:68)(cid:85)e: (cid:58)e compete in oral care and personal health care. In oral care, there are several global competitors in the market and we have the number two market share position with approximately 20(cid:8) global market share. In personal health care, we are a top ten competitor in a large, highly fragmented industry behind respiratory treatments ((cid:57)icks brand) and nonprescription heartburn medications (Prilosec OTC brand). Nearly all of our sales outside the U.S. in personal health care are generated through the PGT Healthcare partnership with Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

In fabric care, we generally have the number one or number two share position in the markets in which we compete and are the global market leader with approximately 30(cid:8) global market share, primarily behind our Tide, Ariel and Downy brands. Our global home care market share is approximately 20(cid:8) across the categories in which we compete.

(cid:58)e are the number one or number two baby care competitor in most of the key markets in which we compete, primarily behind Pampers, the Company's largest brand, with annual net sales of approximately $10 billion. (cid:58)e are the global market leader in the feminine care category with approximately 30(cid:8) global market share, primarily behind Always. (cid:58)e have recently entered the adult incontinence category in certain markets, achieving nearly a 10(cid:8) market share in those markets where we have entered. Our family care business is predominantly a North American business comprised largely of the (cid:37)ounty paper towel and Charmin toilet paper brands. U.S. market shares are nearly 45(cid:8) for (cid:37)ounty and over 25(cid:8) for Charmin. Selling and Market O(cid:83)erations Our SMOs are responsible for developing and executing go- to-market plans at the local level. The SMOs include dedicated retail customer, trade channel and country-specific teams. Our SMOs are organized under six regions comprised of North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Greater China and India, Middle East and Africa (IMEA). Throughout the MD&A, we reference business results in developed markets, which are comprised of North America, (cid:58)estern Europe and Japan, and developing markets which are all other markets not included in developed. Glo(cid:69)al Business Ser(cid:89)ices G(cid:37)S provides technology, processes and standard data tools to enable the G(cid:37)Us and the SMOs to better understand the business and better serve consumers and customers. The G(cid:37)S organization is responsible for providing world-class solutions at a low cost and with minimal capital investment. Cor(cid:83)orate Functions CF provides Company-level strategy and portfolio analysis, relations, treasury, corporate accounting, governance, human resources and legal, as well as other centralized functional support. tax, external STRATEGIC FOCUS (cid:58)e are focused on strategies that we believe are right for the long-term health of the Company with the objective of delivering total shareholder return in the top one-third of our peer group. Our value creation progress is measured internally with the operating total shareholder return (O-TSR) model. Over time, O-TSR performance is highly correlated with market total shareholder returns. O-TSR is a balanced measure that requires strong performance across the three primary drivers of value creation: sales growth, profit margin expansion and efficient utilization of assets to generate strong, reliable operating cash flow. (cid:58)e operationalize O-TSR deep within the Company by defining tight linkages between business activities and the key drivers of value creation, from strategic choices of global business units, brands and country teams down to individual employees(cid:181) daily work plans. The Company has recently undertaken an effort to focus and strengthen its business portfolio to compete in categories and brands that are structurally attractive and that play to P&G strengths. This will enable us to allocate resources to leading brands - marketed in the right set of countries, channels and customers - where the size of the prize and probability of winning is highest. (cid:58)hen the major portion of this work is complete, we expect to compete in four industry-based sectors made up of approximately ten product categories and 65 leading brands. Innovation has always been - and continues to be - P&G's lifeblood. To consistently win with consumers around the world across price tiers and preferences and to consistently win versus our best competitors, each P&G product category needs a full portfolio of innovation, including a mix of commercial game-changing improvements programs, product and 25 The Procter & Gamble Company innovations. (cid:58)e are also innovating to improve our category, brand and market business models to better serve consumers and customers. Productivity is a core strength for P&G, which creates flexibility to fund our growth efforts, offset cost challenges and(cid:18)or improve operating margins. (cid:58)e have taken significant steps to accelerate productivity and savings across all elements of costs, including cost of goods sold, marketing expense and non-manufacturing overhead. These efforts are yielding significant benefits to our operating margin. Finally, we are focused on improving execution and operating discipline in everything we do. Operating discipline and execution have always been - and must continue to be - core capabilities and competitive advantages for P&G. The Company expects the delivery of the following long-term annual financial targets will result in total shareholder returns in the top third of the competitive peer group: (cid:135) Organic sales growth above market growth rates in the categories and geographies in which we compete(cid:30) Core EPS growth of high single digits(cid:30) and Adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90(cid:8) or greater. (cid:135) (cid:135) In periods with significant macroeconomic pressures, we will maintain a disciplined approach to investing so as not to sacrifice the long-term health of our businesses to meet short- term objectives in any given year.

All such statements, except for historical and present factual information, are (cid:5)forward- looking statements(cid:5) and are based on financial data and our business plans available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become out-of-date or incomplete. (cid:58)e assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or other factors. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and investors must recognize that events could be significantly different from our expectations. For more information on risks that could impact our results, refer to Item 1A Risk Factors in this 10-K.

(cid:38)(cid:75)(cid:68)n(cid:74)es (cid:76)n (cid:38)osts(cid:17) Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices and our own productivity efforts.

Sales could also be adversely impacted following pricing actions if there is a negative impact on consumption of our products. (cid:58)e strive to implement, achieve and sustain cost improvement plans, including outsourcing projects, supply chain optimization and general overhead and workforce optimization. As discussed later in this MD&A, we initiated certain non-manufacturing overhead reduction projects along with manufacturing and other supply chain cost improvements projects in 2012. If we are not successful in executing these changes, there could be a negative impact on our operating margin and net earnings. (cid:41)o(cid:85)e(cid:76)(cid:74)n (cid:40)(cid:91)c(cid:75)(cid:68)n(cid:74)e(cid:17) (cid:58)e have both translation and transaction exposure to the fluctuation of exchange rates. Translation exposures relate to exchange rate impacts of measuring income statements of foreign subsidiaries that do not use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Transaction exposures relate to 1) the impact from input costs that are denominated in a currency other than the local reporting currency and 2) the revaluation of transaction-related working capital balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. In 2015 and 2014, the U.S. dollar has strengthened versus a number of foreign currencies leading to lower sales and earnings from these foreign exchange impacts. Certain countries experiencing significant exchange rate fluctuations, like Russia, Ukraine, Japan and Switzerland, have had, and could have, an additional significant impact on our sales, costs and earnings. Increased pricing in response to these fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may offset portions of the currency impacts, but could also have a negative impact on consumption of our products, which would affect our sales. (cid:42)ove(cid:85)nment (cid:51)ol(cid:76)c(cid:76)es(cid:17) Our net earnings could be affected by changes in U.S. or foreign government tax policies. For example, the U.S. is considering corporate tax reform that may significantly impact the corporate tax rate and change the U.S. tax treatment of international earnings. Additionally, we attempt to carefully manage our debt and currency exposure in certain countries with currency exchange, import authorization and pricing controls, such as Argentina, China, Egypt, Greece, India, Nigeria, Ukraine and (cid:57)enezuela. Changes in government policies in these areas might cause an increase or decrease in our sales, operating margin and net earnings. During fiscal 2015, the Company deconsolidated its (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries due to evolving conditions that have resulted in an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the (cid:57)enezuelan bolivar and U.S. dollar and have restricted our ability to pay dividends and satisfy certain other obligations denominated in U.S. dollars. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The key metrics included in our discussion of our consolidated results of operations include net sales, gross margin, SG&A, other non-operating items and income taxes. The primary factors driving year-over-year changes in net sales include overall market growth in the categories in which we compete, product initiatives, the level of initiatives and other activities by competitors, geographic expansion and acquisition and divestiture activity, all of which drive changes in our underlying unit volume as well as pricing actions (which can also indirectly impact volume), changes in product and geographic mix and foreign currency impacts on sales outside the U.S. Most of our cost of products sold and SG&A are to some extent variable in nature. Accordingly, our discussion of these operating costs focuses primarily on relative margins rather than the absolute year-over-year changes in total costs. The primary drivers of changes in gross margin are input costs (energy and other commodities), pricing impacts, geographic mix (for example, gross margins in developed markets are generally higher than in developing markets for similar products), product mix (for example, the (cid:37)eauty, Hair and Personal Care segment has higher gross margins than the Company average), foreign exchange rate fluctuations (in situations where certain input costs may be tied to a different functional currency than the underlying sales), the impacts of manufacturing savings projects and to a lesser extent scale impacts (for costs that are fixed or less variable in nature). The primary drivers of SG&A are marketing-related costs and non- manufacturing overhead costs. Marketing-related costs are primarily variable in nature, although we do achieve some level of scale benefit over time due to overall growth and other marketing efficiencies. Overhead costs are also variable in nature, but on a relative basis, less so than marketing costs due to our ability to leverage our organization and systems infrastructures to support business growth. Accordingly, we generally experience more scale-related impacts for these costs. The Company is in the midst of a productivity and cost savings plan to reduce costs in the areas of supply chain, marketing and overhead expenses. The plan is designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes to fund the Company's growth strategy. Net Sales Fiscal year 2015 compared with fiscal year 2014 Net sales decreased 5(cid:8) to $76.3 billion in 2015 on a 1(cid:8) decrease in unit volume versus the prior year period. (cid:57)olume grew low single digits in Fabric Care and Home Care. (cid:57)olume decreased low single digits in (cid:37)aby, Feminine and Family Care, Grooming and Health Care and decreased mid-single digits in (cid:37)eauty, Hair and Personal Care. (cid:57)olume increased low single digits in developed regions and declined low single digits in developing regions due, in part, to pricing actions to address O(cid:83)erating Costs Com(cid:83)arisons as a (cid:83)ercentage of net sales(cid:30) Years ended (cid:45)une (cid:22)0 Gross margin Selling, general and administrative expense Operating margin Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes Net earnings from continuing operations Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble 27 The Procter & Gamble Company foreign exchange devaluations. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 6(cid:8), while higher pricing drove a 2(cid:8) favorable impact on net sales. Organic volume decreased 1(cid:8) and organic sales grew 1(cid:8) driven by higher pricing. Fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013 Net sales increased less than half a percent to $80.5 billion in 2014 on a 3(cid:8) increase in unit volume versus the prior year period. Fabric Care and Home Care along with (cid:37)aby, Feminine and Family Care volume grew mid-single digits. Grooming and Health Care volume grew low single digits. (cid:37)eauty, Hair and Personal Care volume was unchanged. (cid:57)olume increased low single digits in developed regions and grew mid-single digits in developing regions. Unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net sales by 3(cid:8). Organic sales grew 3(cid:8) driven by the unit volume increase. A 1(cid:8) favorable impact from higher pricing was offset by a 1(cid:8) impact from unfavorable geographic and product mix due to higher relative growth of developing regions, which have lower than average selling prices, and of lower priced product categories such as Fabric Care and (cid:37)aby Care. 2015 Basis Point Change 2014 Basis Point Change 201(cid:22) 49.0(cid:8) (cid:22)0.9(cid:8) 15.5(cid:8) 15.5(cid:8) 11.(cid:26)(cid:8) 9.2(cid:8) (10) 10 (280) (230) (240) (530) 49.1(cid:8) 30.8(cid:8) 18.3(cid:8) 17.8(cid:8) 14.1(cid:8) 14.5(cid:8) (100) (170) 110 10 40 40 50.1(cid:8) 32.5(cid:8) 17.2(cid:8) 17.7(cid:8) 13.7(cid:8) 14.1(cid:8) Fiscal year 2015 compared with fiscal year 2014 Gross margin decreased 10 basis points to 49.0(cid:8) of net sales in 2015. Gross margin benefited from a 200 basis point impact from manufacturing cost savings and a 90 basis point benefit from higher pricing. These impacts were offset by a 140 basis point impact from unfavorable geographic and product mix, primarily from a decline in the Prestige business, which has higher than average margins, and within the Fabric Care and Home Care and Grooming segments. Additional offsets include a 40 basis point impact from unfavorable foreign exchange, a 40 basis point impact from costs related to initiatives and capacity investments, a 30 basis point impact from higher restructuring costs and smaller impacts from lower volume scale and higher commodity costs. Total SG&A decreased 5(cid:8) to $23.6 billion, as reduced overhead and marketing spending was partially offset by increased foreign exchange transaction charges. SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased 10 basis points to 30.9(cid:8), as the negative scale impacts of lower net sales and inflationary impacts were partially offset by cost savings efforts. Marketing spending as a percentage of net sales decreased 60 basis points behind lower spending due to efficiency efforts. Overhead spending as a percentage of net sales increased 40 basis points as productivity savings of 60 basis points from reduced overhead spending were more than offset by wage inflation, investments in research and development, the negative scale impacts of lower net sales and higher restructuring costs. Increased foreign exchange transaction charges added approximately 30 basis points to SG&A as a percentage of net sales, as current year foreign currency transaction charges (from revaluing receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than a local entity(cid:181)s functional currency) were partially offset by lower year-on-year charges for (cid:57)enezuela remeasurement and devaluation. During fiscal 2015, the Company incurred a $2.0 billion ($2.1 billion after tax) charge related to the deconsolidation of its (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries. See the (cid:178)(cid:57)enezuela Impacts(cid:179) later in the Results of Operations section. The Procter & Gamble Company 28 Fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013 Gross margin contracted 100 basis points to 49.1(cid:8) of net sales in 2014. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a 150 basis point impact from unfavorable geographic and product mix, a 50 basis point impact from higher commodity costs and a 90 basis point impact from unfavorable foreign exchange, partially offset by manufacturing cost savings of 190 basis points and a 40 basis point benefit from higher pricing. The unfavorable geographic and product mix was caused by disproportionate growth in developing regions and the Fabric Care and Home Care and (cid:37)aby, Feminine and Family Care segments, which have lower gross margins than the Company average. Total SG&A decreased 5(cid:8) to $24.8 billion in 2014 due to a reduction in marketing spending, overhead expense, impairment charges and restructuring costs. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased 170 basis points to 30.8(cid:8). Lower restructuring spending drove 30 basis points of the decline. Marketing spending as a percentage of net sales decreased 80 basis points primarily due to lower spending behind a focus on more efficient marketing support and scale benefits from increased net sales. Overhead spending decreased 50 basis points from productivity savings. Impairment charges were 40 basis points in 2013, but were zero in 2014. Charges for the 2014 foreign currency policy changes in (cid:57)enezuela were comparable to the 2013 (cid:57)enezuela devaluation impact. During fiscal 2013, we incurred impairment charges of $308 million ($290 million after tax) related to the carrying value of goodwill in our Appliances business and the related (cid:37)raun trade name intangible asset. Non-O(cid:83)erating Items Fiscal year 2015 compared with fiscal year 2014 Interest expense was $626 million in 2015, a decrease of $84 million versus the prior year due to lower average debt balances and a decrease in weighted average interest rates. Interest income was $151 million in 2015, an increase of $50 million versus the prior year due to an increase in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities. Other non-operating income, net, primarily includes divestiture gains and investment income. Other non-operating income increased $325 million to $531 In million, primarily due to minor brand divestiture gains. 2015, we had approximately $400 million in minor brand divestiture gains, including (cid:61)est, Camay, Fekkai and (cid:58)ash & Go hair care brands, Rochas and Laura (cid:37)iagotti fine fragrance brands and (cid:57)aposteam. The prior year acquisition and divestiture activities included approximately $150 million in divestiture gains, primarily related to the sale of our bleach businesses in Europe, IMEA and Latin America, our Pert hair care business in Latin America and MD(cid:57)IP. Fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013 Interest expense increased 6(cid:8) in 2014 to $710 million, primarily due to an increase in average debt outstanding. Interest income was $101 million in 2014, an increase of $13 million versus the prior year due to an increase in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities. Other non-operating income, net, primarily includes divestiture gains and investment income. Other non-operating income decreased $735 million to $206 million, primarily due to acquisition and divestiture impacts. In 2014, we had approximately $150 million in divestiture gains, primarily related to the sale of our bleach businesses in Europe, IMEA and Latin America, our Pert hair care business in Latin America and MD(cid:57)IP. The 2013 acquisition and divestiture activities included a $631 million holding gain resulting from P&G's purchase of the balance of its (cid:37)aby Care and Feminine Care joint venture in Iberia and an approximate $250 million gain from the divestiture of our Italy bleach business. Income Taxes Fiscal year 2015 compared with fiscal year 2014 The effective tax rate on continuing operations increased 350 basis points to 24.6(cid:8) in 2015 mainly due to the non- deductibility of the $2.0 billion (cid:57)enezuelan deconsolidation charge. The rate increase caused by lower current year favorable discrete adjustments related to uncertain income tax positions (the net benefit was 80 basis points in the current year versus 160 basis points in the prior year) was largely offset by a decrease related to favorable geographic earnings mix. Fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013 The effective tax rate on continuing operations decreased 170 basis points to 21.1(cid:8) in 2014. The primary driver of this rate decline was approximately 320 basis points from the favorable geographic mix of earnings and approximately 60 basis points due to the non-deductibility of the 2013 impairment charges related to our Appliances business. These impacts were partially offset by a 50 basis point increase due to the (cid:57)enezuela currency policy changes and devaluation discussed below (which decreased the prior year rate 20 basis points and increased the current year rate by 30 basis points), a 110 basis point increase due to the tax impacts of acquisition and divestiture activities (the gains from the purchase of the balance of the (cid:37)aby Care and Feminine Care joint venture in Iberia and the sale of our Italy bleach business in 2013) and a 30 basis point increase due to the net impact of favorable discrete adjustments related to uncertain income tax positions. The net benefit 2014 was $228 million, or 160 basis points, versus 190 basis points of net benefit in 2013. Net Earnings Fiscal year 2015 compared with fiscal year 2014 Net earnings from continuing operations decreased $2.4 billion or 21(cid:8) to $8.9 billion due to the $2.1 billion after tax charge related to the deconsolidation of (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries and the decline in net sales, partially offset by reduced selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A). Foreign exchange impacts negatively affected net earnings by approximately $1.4 billion in 2015 due to the weakening of certain key currencies against the U.S. dollar, primarily in Russia, Ukraine, (cid:57)enezuela and Argentina, partially offset by lower after-tax charges related to balance sheet remeasurement charges in (cid:57)enezuela. Net earnings from discontinued operations decreased $2.3 billion in 2015 due primarily to $2.1 billion of after tax impairment charges in our (cid:37)atteries business (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the absence of fiscal 2015 earnings from our divested Pet Care business. Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble decreased $4.6 billion, or 40(cid:8) to $7.0 billion. Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations decreased $0.80, or 21(cid:8), to $3.06 due to the decrease in net earnings. (cid:58)e had a diluted net loss per share from discontinued operations of $0.62 due primarily to the impairment charges on the (cid:37)atteries business. This was a reduction of $0.78 per share versus the prior year. Diluted net earnings per share decreased $1.57, or 39(cid:8), to $2.44. Core EPS decreased 2(cid:8) to $4.02. Core EPS represents diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding for (cid:57)enezuelan deconsolidation, balance sheet charges remeasurement charges from foreign exchange policy changes and devaluation in (cid:57)enezuela (see below), charges for certain European legal matters and incremental restructuring related to our productivity and cost savings plan. The decline was driven by reduced net sales, partially offset by minor brand divestiture gains. Fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013 Net earnings from continuing operations increased $365 million or 3(cid:8) to $11.3 billion in 2014 due to the increase in sales and a 40-basis point expansion in net earnings margin. The increase in net earnings margin was primarily driven by the decrease in SG&Aas a percentage of net sales and the lower tax rate, partially offset by the gross margin contraction and the acquisition and divestiture-driven net reduction in other non-operating income, net. Net earnings from discontinued operations increased $18 million in 2014 due to stronger results in our (cid:37)atteries business offsetting the ongoing impacts of prior year product recalls in Pet Care. Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased $331 million, or 3(cid:8) to $11.6 billion. Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations increased 4(cid:8) to $3.86 primarily due to the increase in net earnings. Diluted net earnings per share from discontinued operations was $0.15 due to the earnings of the (cid:37)atteries and Pet Care businesses. Diluted net earnings per share increased 4(cid:8) to $4.01. Core EPS increased 5(cid:8) to $4.09 primarily due to increased net sales, a 40 basis point net earnings margin expansion and the reduction in shares outstanding. Core EPS represents diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding charges from foreign exchange policy changes and the devaluation of the foreign exchange rates in (cid:57)enezuela (see below), the 2013 holding gain on the purchase of the balance of our Iberian joint venture, the 2013 impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and charges in both years for European legal matters and incremental restructuring related to our productivity and cost savings plan. 29 The Procter & Gamble Company Vene(cid:93)uela Im(cid:83)acts Effective June 30, 2015, the Company deconsolidated its local (cid:57)enezuelan operations from our Consolidated Financial Statements. P&G has operated in (cid:57)enezuela for over 65 years and remains committed to serving (cid:57)enezuelan consumers with our leading brands and products to grow our business. (cid:58)e expect our operations in (cid:57)enezuela will continue for the foreseeable future. (cid:58)e continue to work proactively with the (cid:57)enezuelan official agencies to ensure we fully understand and remain compliant as the policies within which our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries operate evolve. (cid:58)e do not expect this change in accounting to directly affect the local operations of our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries. There are a number of currency and other operating controls and restrictions in (cid:57)enezuela, which have evolved over time and may continue to evolve in the future. These evolving conditions have resulted in an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the (cid:57)enezuelan bolivar and U.S. dollar and have restricted our (cid:57)enezuelan operations(cid:181) ability to pay dividends and satisfy certain other obligations denominated in U.S. dollars. For accounting purposes, this has resulted in a lack of control over our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries. Therefore, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards for consolidation, effective June 30, 2015, we deconsolidated our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries and began accounting for our investment in those subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting. This change resulted in a fourth quarter fiscal 2015 one-time before-tax charge of $2.0 billion ($2.1 billion after tax, or $0.71 per share). In future periods, our financial results will only include sales of finished goods to our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries to the extent we receive payments from (cid:57)enezuela (expected to be largely through the CENCOEX exchange market). Accordingly, we will no longer include the results of our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries(cid:181) operations in future reporting periods (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Our operations in (cid:57)enezuela accounted for less than 2(cid:8) of consolidated net sales and earnings from continuing operations (before the deconsolidation charge) during fiscal 2015. (cid:57)enezuela is a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, prior to deconsolidation, the U.S. dollar had been the functional currency for our subsidiaries in (cid:57)enezuela. A number of changes have been initiated in the (cid:57)enezuelan exchange rate system, including changes that resulted in devaluations to their currency. Prior to deconsolidation, currency non-dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries, along with any other transactional foreign exchange gains and losses, have been reflected in earnings, and totaled $104 million, $275 million and $236 million on an after-tax basis in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. remeasurement adjustments for There are currently three official exchange rate mechanisms in (cid:57)enezuela. The CENCOEX (National Center for External Commerce) exchange rate is 6.3 (cid:57)enezuelan bolivares fuerte ((cid:57)EF) per dollar and can be used for the importation of certain qualifying products and materials. SICAD (Complementary The Procter & Gamble Company 30 System for Foreign Exchange Administration) is an auction- based exchange program applicable to foreign investment transactions and certain other qualifying imports of finished goods and materials. The rate available through SICAD was 10.6 (cid:57)EF per dollar at June 30, 2014 and 12.8 (cid:57)EF per dollar at June 30, 2015. A third exchange mechanism, referred to as SIMADI (Sistema Marginal de Divisas), is also an auction- based program recently trading at approximately 200 (cid:57)EF per dollar. Through December 31, 2013, (cid:57)enezuela had only one officially established exchange rate for qualifying dividends and imported goods and services, the CENCOEX rate, previously CADI(cid:57)I (Foreign Exchange Administrative Commission). Accordingly, through December 31, 2013, our results in (cid:57)enezuela and all of our net monetary assets were measured at this exchange rate. On January 24, 2014, a number of announcements were made affecting currency exchange rate and other controls, including the introduction of the SICAD and SICAD II exchange rate mechanisms. In addition, based on local regulatory guidance, we had expected dividends to be executed under the SICAD rate. Accordingly, beginning in SEGMENT RESULTS than transactions flowing through January 2014, other CENCOEX, our historical operations and balance sheet positions were generally measured using the SICAD rate. In January 2015, additional announcements were made relating to currency exchange rate and other controls, including the elimination of the SICAD II exchange rate and the introduction of the SIMADI rate. A significant portion of our imports have historically qualified for the CENCOEX rate. (cid:58)hile we continue to import certain materials and products under this rate, payments for such qualifying imports have declined in recent years. At this time, there is considerable uncertainty as to how CENCOEX will operate in the future, including the nature and quantity of transactions that will continue to flow through CENCOEX. However, we believe a portion of our imports will continue to qualify for the preferential rate. (cid:58)e have had no recent access to the SICAD market for imports or dividends. To date, we have had limited access to the SIMADI market. Our plans and ability to access that market in the future is unclear. Segment results reflect information on the same basis we use for internal management reporting and performance evaluation. The results of these reportable segments do not include certain non-business unit specific costs such as interest expense, investing activities and certain restructuring and asset impairment costs. These costs are reported in our Corporate segment and are included as part of our Corporate segment discussion. Additionally, as described in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we apply blended statutory tax rates in the segments.

The most significant reconciling item is income taxes to adjust from blended statutory tax rates that are reflected in the segments to the overall Company effective tax rate. Net sales in Corporate decreased by $271 million in the current year primarily due to the prior year divestiture of the MD(cid:57)IP business. Corporate net expenses from continuing operations increased $2.0 billion in 2015, primarily due the charge related the (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries, to the deconsolidation of increased foreign exchange and incremental restructuring charges, which were partially offset by gains on minor brand divestitures. transactional charges Net sales in Corporate increased by $173 million in 2014. Corporate net earnings from continuing operations improved by $164 million in 2014, primarily due to reduced net after- tax goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges (which totaled $290 million in 2013 but were zero in 2014), lower 2014 restructuring and overhead spending and lower overall Company effective tax rate, partially offset by the holding gain in 2013 from the buyout of our Iberian joint venture partner. Additional discussion of the items impacting net earnings in Corporate are included in the Results of Operations section. Producti(cid:89)it(cid:92) and Cost Sa(cid:89)ings Plan In 2012, the Company initiated a productivity and cost savings plan to reduce costs and better leverage scale in the areas of supply chain, research and development, marketing and overheads. The plan was designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes to fund the Company's growth strategy. As part of this plan, the Company expects to incur in excess of $5.0 billion in before-tax restructuring costs over a six-year period (from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2017). Approximately 78(cid:8) of the costs have been incurred through the end of fiscal 2015. Savings generated from the restructuring costs are difficult to estimate, given the nature of the activities, the corollary benefits achieved (e.g., enrollment reduction achieved via normal attrition), the timing of the execution and the degree of reinvestment. Overall, these costs and other non- manufacturing enrollment reductions are expected to deliver approximately $3.0 billion in annual before-tax gross savings. The cumulative before-tax savings realized through 2015 were approximately $2.1 billion. Restructuring accruals of $389 million as of June 30, 2015 are classified as current liabilities. Approximately 70(cid:8) of the restructuring charges incurred during fiscal 2015 either have been or will be settled with cash. Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the resulting charges are funded by and included within Corporate for segment reporting. In addition to our restructuring programs, we have additional ongoing savings efforts in our supply chain, marketing and overhead areas that yield additional benefits to our operating margins. Refer to Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on the restructuring program and to the Operating Costs section of this MD&A for more information about the total benefit to operating margins from our total savings efforts. CASH FLOW, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LI(cid:52)UIDITY (cid:58)e believe our financial condition continues to be of high quality, as evidenced by our ability to generate substantial cash from operations and ready access to capital markets at competitive rates. Operating cash flow provides the primary source of cash to Excess fund operating needs and capital expenditures. operating cash is used first to fund shareholder dividends. Other discretionary uses include share repurchases and acquisitions to complement our portfolio of businesses, brands and geographies. As necessary, we may supplement operating cash flow with debt to fund these activities. The overall cash position of the Company reflects our strong business results and a global cash management strategy that takes into account liquidity management, tax considerations. economic factors and O(cid:83)erating Cash Flow Fiscal year 2015 compared with fiscal year 2014 Operating cash flow was $14.6 billion in 2015, a 5(cid:8) increase from the prior year. Operating cash flows resulted primarily from net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes, impairment charges, gains on sale of businesses and the (cid:57)enezuela deconsolidation charge) and a decrease in working capital, partially offset by the impact of other operating assets and liabilities. Reduced accounts receivable generated $349 million of cash due to changes in customer terms and improved collection results. The number of days sales outstanding decreased 5 days due to foreign exchange impacts and improvements in collection results and customer terms. Lower inventory generated $313 million of cash mainly due to supply chain optimizations and lower commodity costs. Inventory days on hand decreased 7 days due to foreign exchange impacts, supply chain optimizations and lower commodity costs. Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities increased, generating $928 million in operating cash flow primarily driven by extended payment terms. Other operating assets and liabilities utilized $976 million of cash primarily to eliminate the deferred tax impacts associated with the Pet Care divestiture. Fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013 Operating cash flow was $14.0 billion in 2014, a 6(cid:8) decrease from the prior year, which was primarily driven by a $1.0 billion discretionary contribution into a foreign pension plan. Operating cash flows resulted primarily from net earnings, adjusted for non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes and gains on sale of businesses) partially offset by the impact of other operating assets and liabilities. (cid:58)orking capital changes did not have a significant impact on operating cash flow in 2014. 35 The Procter & Gamble Company Reduced accounts receivable generated $87 million of cash primarily due to improved collection results, which, along with the timing and mix of sales late in the period, drove a 1 day decrease in accounts receivable days sales outstanding. Inventory changes did not significantly impact operating cash flow as inventory management improvement efforts offset inventory needed to support product initiatives and build stock to support capacity expansions and manufacturing sourcing changes. Inventory days on hand decreased by 3 days primarily due to inventory management improvement efforts. Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities also did not significantly impact operating cash flow. Other operating assets and liabilities utilized $1.6 billion of cash, primarily driven by $1.0 billion of cash used for a discretionary contribution into a foreign pension plan.

It is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures and excluding certain divestiture impacts (tax payments in the current year for the Pet Care divestiture) and is one of the measures used to evaluate senior management and determine their at-risk compensation. Fiscal year 2015 compared with fiscal year 2014 Adjusted free cash flow was $11.6 billion in 2015, an increase of 15(cid:8) versus the prior year. The increase was driven by the increase in operating cash flows. Adjusted free cash flow productivity, defined as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings excluding impairment charges on the (cid:37)atteries business and the (cid:57)enezuelan deconsolidation charge, was 102(cid:8) in 2015. Fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013 Adjusted free cash flow was $10.1 billion in 2014, a decrease of 7(cid:8) versus the prior year. The decrease was driven by the decrease in operating cash flows, which was primarily due to a $1.0 billion discretionary contribution into a foreign pension plan. Adjusted free cash flow productivity, defined as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to net earnings excluding impairment charges from divested businesses, was 86(cid:8) in 2014. In(cid:89)esting Cash Flow Fiscal year 2015 compared with fiscal year 2014 Net investing activities consumed $2.9 billion in cash in 2015 mainly due to capital spending, net purchases of available-for- sale securities and a reduction in cash due to (cid:57)enezuela deconsolidation, partially offset by asset sales. Fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013 Net investing activities consumed $4.1 billion in cash in 2014 mainly due to capital spending and cash paid for investments in available-for-sale securities, partially offset by asset sales.

In addition, we have agreements with a diverse group of financial institutions that, if needed, should provide sufficient credit funding to meet short-term financing requirements. On June 30, 2015, our short-term credit ratings were P-1 (Moody's) and A-1(cid:14) (Standard & Poor's), while our long-term credit ratings are Aa3 (Moody's) and AA- (Standard & Poor's), all with a stable outlook.

The current facility is an $11.0 billion facility split between a $7.0 billion five-year facility and a $4.0 billion 364-day facility, which expire in August 2018 and July 2016, respectively. The 364-day facility can be extended for certain periods of time as specified in the terms of the credit agreement. These facilities are currently undrawn and we anticipate that they will remain largely undrawn for the foreseeable future. These credit facilities do not have cross- default or ratings triggers, nor do they have material adverse events clauses, except at the time of signing. In addition to these credit facilities, we have an automatically effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC that is available for registered offerings of short- or long-term debt securities. For additional details on debt see Note 4. Guarantees and Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (cid:58)e do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on financial condition or liquidity.

(cid:58)e anticipate being able to support our short-term liquidity and operating needs largely through cash generated from operations. The Company regularly assesses its cash needs and the available sources to fund these needs. As of June 30, 2015, $11.0 billion of the Company(cid:181)s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is held off-shore by foreign subsidiaries.

Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of future cash outflows of liabilities for uncertain tax positions beyond one year, a reasonable estimate of the period of cash settlement beyond twelve months from the balance sheet date of June 30, 2015, cannot be made. (2) Operating lease obligations are shown net of guaranteed sublease income. (3) Represents future pension payments to comply with local funding requirements. These future pension payments assume the Company continues to meet its future statutory funding requirements. Considering the current economic environment in which the Company operates, the Company believes its cash flows are adequate to meet the future statutory funding requirements. The projected payments beyond fiscal year 2018 are not currently determinable. Primarily reflects future contractual payments under various take-or-pay arrangements entered into as part of the normal course of business. Commitments made under take-or-pay obligations represent future purchases in line with expected usage to obtain favorable pricing. This includes service contracts for information technology, human resources management and facilities management activities that have been outsourced. (cid:58)hile the amounts listed represent contractual obligations, we do not believe it is likely that the full contractual amount would be paid if the underlying contracts were canceled prior to maturity. In such cases, we generally are able to negotiate new contracts or cancellation penalties, resulting in a reduced payment. The amounts do not include other contractual purchase obligations that are not take- or-pay arrangements. Such contractual purchase obligations are primarily purchase orders at fair value that are part of normal operations and are reflected in historical operating cash flow trends. (cid:58)e do not believe such purchase obligations will adversely affect our liquidity position. (4) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES In preparing our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, there are certain accounting policies that may require a choice between acceptable accounting methods or may require substantial judgment or estimation in their application. These include income taxes, certain employee benefits and goodwill and intangible assets. (cid:58)e believe these accounting policies, and others set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, should be reviewed as they are integral to understanding the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The Company has discussed the selection of significant accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company's (cid:37)oard of Directors. Income Taxes Our annual tax rate is determined based on our income, statutory tax rates and the tax impacts of items treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes. Also inherent in determining our annual tax rate are judgments and assumptions regarding the recoverability of certain deferred tax balances, primarily net operating loss and other carryforwards, and our ability to uphold certain tax positions. Realization of net operating losses and other carryforwards is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction prior the carryforward periods, which involves business plans, planning future outcomes. opportunities and expectations about Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, will be realized. to the expiration of (cid:58)e operate in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax policy and regulatory environments. In certain of these jurisdictions, we may take tax positions that management believes are supportable, but are potentially subject to successful challenge by the applicable taxing authority. These interpretational differences with the respective governmental taxing authorities can be impacted by the local economic and fiscal environment. (cid:58)e evaluate our tax positions and establish liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on uncertainty in income taxes. (cid:58)e review these tax uncertainties in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the The Procter & Gamble Company 38 progress of tax audits, and adjust them accordingly. (cid:58)e have a number of audits in process in various jurisdictions. Although the resolution of these tax positions is uncertain, based on currently available information, we believe that the ultimate outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. (cid:37)ecause there are a number of estimates and assumptions inherent in calculating the various components of our tax provision, certain changes or future events such as changes in tax legislation, geographic mix of earnings, completion of tax audits or earnings repatriation plans could have an impact on those estimates and our effective tax rate. For additional details on the Company's income taxes, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Em(cid:83)lo(cid:92)ee Benefits (cid:58)e sponsor various post-employment benefits throughout the world. These include pension plans, both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans, and other post-employment benefit (OPE(cid:37)) plans, consisting primarily of health care and life insurance for retirees. For accounting purposes, the defined benefit pension and OPE(cid:37) plans require assumptions to estimate the projected and accumulated benefit obligations, including the following variables: discount rate(cid:30) expected salary increases(cid:30) certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality(cid:30) expected return on assets(cid:30) and health care cost trend rates. These and other assumptions affect the annual expense and obligations recognized for the underlying plans. Our assumptions reflect our historical experiences and management's best judgment regarding future expectations. As permitted by U.S. GAAP, the net amount by which actual results differ from our assumptions is deferred. If this net deferred amount exceeds 10(cid:8) of the greater of plan assets or liabilities, a portion of the deferred amount is included in expense for the following year. The cost or benefit of plan changes, such as increasing or decreasing benefits for prior employee service (prior service cost), is deferred and included in expense on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits. The expected return on plan assets assumption impacts our defined benefit expense, since many of our defined benefit pension plans and our primary OPE(cid:37) plan are partially funded. The process for setting the expected rates of return is described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For 2015, the average return on assets assumptions for pension plan assets and OPE(cid:37) assets was 7.2(cid:8) and 8.3(cid:8), respectively. A change in the rate of return of 100 basis points for both pension and OPE(cid:37) assets would impact annual after-tax benefit expense by approximately $101 million. Since pension and OPE(cid:37) liabilities are measured on a discounted basis, the discount rate impacts our plan obligations and expenses. Discount rates used for our U.S. defined benefit pension and OPE(cid:37) plans are based on a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high quality bonds for which the timing and amount of cash outflows approximate the estimated payouts of the plan. For our international plans, the discount rates are set by benchmarking against investment grade corporate bonds rated AA or better. The average discount rate on the defined benefit pension plans and OPE(cid:37) plans of 3.1(cid:8) and 4.5(cid:8), respectively, represents a weighted average of local rates in countries where such plans exist. A 100-basis point change in the pension discount rate would impact annual after-tax defined benefit pension expense by approximately $195 million. A change in the OPE(cid:37) discount rate of 100 basis points would impact annual after-tax OPE(cid:37) expense by approximately $60 million. For additional details on our defined benefit pension and OPE(cid:37) plans, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill and Intangi(cid:69)le Assets Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. Accordingly, we typically obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists for significant tangible and intangible assets. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but are inherently uncertain. inherent (cid:58)e typically use an income method to estimate the fair value of intangible assets, which is based on forecasts of the expected future cash flows attributable to the respective assets. Significant estimates and assumptions in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants, and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), the underlying product or technology life cycles, economic barriers to entry, a brand's relative market position and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment. Certain brand intangible assets are expected to have indefinite lives based on their history and our plans to continue to support and build the acquired brands. Other acquired intangible assets (e.g., certain trademarks or brands, customer relationships, patents and technologies) are expected to have determinable useful lives. Our assessment as to brands that have an indefinite life and those that have a determinable life is based on a number of factors including competitive environment, market share, brand history, underlying product life and the macroeconomic environment of the countries in which the brands are sold. Our estimates of the useful lives of determinable-lived intangible assets are primarily based on these same factors. All of our acquired technology and customer-related intangible assets are expected to have determinable useful lives. cycles, operating plans The costs of determinable-lived intangible assets are amortized to expense over their estimated lives. The value of indefinite- lived intangible assets and residual goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment. Our impairment is performed separately from our testing for goodwill impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets. (cid:58)e test goodwill for impairment by reviewing the book value compared to the fair value at the reporting unit level. (cid:58)e test individual indefinite-lived intangible assets by comparing the book values of each asset to the estimated fair value. (cid:58)e determine the fair value of our reporting units and indefinite- lived intangible assets based on the income approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes and to estimate future cash flows to measure fair value. Assumptions used in our impairment evaluations, such as forecasted growth rates and cost of capital, are consistent with internal projections and operating plans. (cid:58)e believe such assumptions and estimates are also comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. (cid:58)ith the exception of our Appliances and (cid:37)atteries businesses, all of our reporting units have fair values that significantly exceed recorded values. However, future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates that are used in our impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including discount and tax rates or future cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values. In addition, any potential change in the strategic plans for these businesses due to the refocusing of our business portfolio could impact these judgments, assumptions and estimates, in turn, impacting our fair value. A significant reduction in the estimated fair values could result in impairment charges that could materially affect the financial statements in any given year. The recorded value of goodwill and intangible assets from recently impaired businesses and recently acquired businesses are derived from more recent business operating plans and macroeconomic environmental conditions and therefore are more susceptible to an adverse change that could require an impairment charge. resulting from the prior Prior to 2013, our Appliances reporting unit incurred an impairment charge to reduce the goodwill carrying amount to its estimated fair value. During 2013, the estimated fair value of our Appliances reporting unit declined further, below the carrying amount impairment. Therefore, we recorded an additional non-cash before and after-tax impairment charge of $259 million in fiscal 2013. Additionally, our 2013 impairment testing for Appliances indicated a decline in the fair value of our (cid:37)raun trade name intangible asset below its carrying value. This resulted in a non-cash, before-tax impairment charge of $49 million ($31 million after-tax) to reduce the carrying amount of this asset to its estimated fair value. The impairment of the Appliances business in fiscal 2013 was due to the devaluation of currency in Japan, a key country that generates a significant portion of the earnings of the Appliances business, relative to the currencies in which the underlying net assets are recorded. As of June 30, 2015, the Appliances business has remaining goodwill of $299 million and remaining intangible assets of $706 million. As a result of the impairments, the estimated fair value of our Appliances business slightly exceeds its 39 The Procter & Gamble Company the respective carrying value. Our 2015 valuation of Appliances business has it returning to sales and earnings growth rates consistent with our long-term business plans. However, the currency in Japan has continued to devalue relative to the currencies in which the related assets are recorded, reducing the fair value cushion in the Appliances business to approximately 5(cid:8). During 2015, we determined that the estimated fair value of our (cid:37)atteries reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, resulting in a series of impairment charges. The underlying fair value assessment was initially triggered by an agreement in September 2014 to sell the China-based battery joint venture and a related decision to pursue options to exit the remainder of the (cid:37)atteries business. The results of our annual goodwill impairment testing during fiscal 2014 had indicated a decline in the fair value of the (cid:37)atteries reporting unit due to lower long-term market growth assumptions in certain key geographies. At that time, the estimated fair value of the (cid:37)atteries business continued to exceed its underlying carrying value, but the fair value cushion had been reduced to about 5(cid:8). The agreement to sell the China-based battery joint venture was at a transaction value that was below the earnings multiple implied from the prior valuation of our (cid:37)atteries business, which effectively eliminated our fair value cushion. As a result, the remaining business unit cash flows no longer supported the remaining carrying amount of the (cid:37)atteries business. Due largely to these factors, we recorded an initial non-cash, before and after-tax impairment charge of $863 million to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill for the (cid:37)atteries business unit to its estimated fair value. These same factors resulted in a decline in the fair value of our Duracell trade name intangible asset below its carrying value. This resulted in a non-cash, before- tax impairment charge of $110 million ($69 million after tax) to reduce the carrying amount of this asset to its estimated fair value. In November 2014, the Company reached an agreement to divest the remaining (cid:37)atteries business via a split transaction in which the Company will exchange a recapitalized Duracell Company for (cid:37)erkshire Hathaway's ((cid:37)H) shares of P&G stock (see Note 13). (cid:37)ased on the terms of the agreement and the value of (cid:37)H's shares of P&G stock at the agreement date, and changes thereto through June 30, 2015, the Company recorded additional non-cash, before and after-tax impairment charges totaling $1.2 billion. All of the fiscal 2015 impairment charges in the (cid:37)atteries business are included as part of discontinued operations. and estimates assumptions, The business unit valuations used to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment are dependent on a number of significant including macroeconomic conditions, overall category growth rates, competitive activities, cost containment and margin expansion and Company business plans. (cid:58)e believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable. Changes to or a failure to achieve these business plans or a further deterioration of the macroeconomic conditions could result in a valuation that would trigger an additional impairment of the goodwill and In addition, we also intangible assets of these businesses. The Procter & Gamble Company 40 considered the structure and value of the divestiture agreement with (cid:37)H in the impairment testing for (cid:37)atteries. If the value of (cid:37)H(cid:181)s shares of the Company declines further before the transaction closing dates, we may need to record additional non-cash impairment charges as part of discontinued operations in the future. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on goodwill and intangible asset impairment testing results.

OTHER INFORMATION Hedging and Deri(cid:89)ati(cid:89)e Financial Instruments hedging activities As a multinational company with diverse product offerings, we are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices. (cid:58)e evaluate exposures on a centralized basis to take advantage of natural exposure correlation and netting. Except within financing operations, we leverage the Company's diversified portfolio of exposures as a natural hedge and prioritize financial market operational instruments. To the extent we choose to further manage volatility associated with the net exposures, we enter into various financial transactions which we account for using the applicable accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. These financial transactions are governed by our policies covering acceptable counterparty exposure, instrument types and other hedging practices. Note 5 to the includes a detailed Consolidated Financial Statements for derivative discussion of our instruments. accounting policies over Derivative positions are monitored using techniques including market valuation, sensitivity analysis and value-at-risk modeling. The tests for interest rate, currency rate and commodity derivative positions discussed below are based on the CorporateManager(cid:140) value-at-risk model using a one-year horizon and a 95(cid:8) confidence level. The model incorporates the impact of correlation (the degree to which exposures move together over time) and diversification (from holding multiple currency, commodity and interest rate instruments) and assumes that returns are normally distributed. Estimates of volatility and correlations of market factors are drawn from the RiskMetrics(cid:140) dataset as of June 30, 2015. In cases where data is unavailable in RiskMetrics(cid:140), a reasonable proxy is included. financial Our market risk exposures relative to interest rates, currency rates and commodity prices, as discussed below, have not changed materially versus the previous reporting period. In addition, we are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would significantly impact such exposures in the near term.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. (cid:58)e believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company(cid:30) (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company(cid:30) and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. (cid:37)ecause of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management controls, material override misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our products are sold in more than 180 countries and territories primarily through retail operations including mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores, department stores, salons, e-commerce, high-frequency stores and pharmacies. (cid:58)e have on-the-ground operations in approximately 70 countries. Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions are eliminated. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation for amounts related to discontinued operations (see Note 13) and segment reporting (see Note 12). Prior to June 30, 2015, we included the results of our (cid:57)enezuelan operations in our Consolidated Financial Statements using the consolidation method of accounting. The Company(cid:181)s (cid:57)enezuelan earnings and cash flows are reflected in the historical Consolidated Financial Statements using a combination of the official exchange rates, with imports of certain essential finished goods reflected at the CENCOEX rate of 6.30 bolivars per U.S. dollar and the remaining business, primarily related to our on-the-ground manufacturing and other business activities, reflected at the SICAD rate, which generally operated in a range of approximately 12 to 13 bolivars per U.S. dollar. Evolving conditions in (cid:57)enezuela, including currency exchange regulations, other operating controls and restrictions, reduced access to dollars through official currency exchange markets and local market dynamics, have resulted in an other-than-temporary lack of exchangeability between the (cid:57)enezuelan bolivar and U.S. dollar, and have restricted our (cid:57)enezuelan operations(cid:181) ability to pay dividends and satisfy certain other obligations denominated in U.S. dollars. (cid:58)hile we continue to have access to dollars through the CENCOEX market for certain finished goods and raw materials imports, the currency and other controls in (cid:57)enezuela have significantly limited our ability to realize the benefits from earnings of the Company(cid:181)s on-the-ground (cid:57)enezuelan operations and to access the resulting liquidity provided by those operations. (cid:58)e expect that this condition will continue for the foreseeable future. For accounting purposes, this lack of exchangeability and evolving conditions has resulted in a lack of control over our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries. Therefore, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards for consolidation, we deconsolidated our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries and began accounting for our investment in those subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting. This change, which we made effective June 30, 2015, resulted in a fourth quarter fiscal 2015 one-time after-tax charge of $2.1 billion. This charge included the write-off of our investment in our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries, foreign currency translation losses of $255 previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive certain intercompany receivables due from (cid:57)enezuela subsidiaries, which was triggered by the decision to deconsolidate those subsidiaries. Our (cid:57)enezuelan operations(cid:181)cash balance of $908 at June 30, 2015 (previously measured using a combination of CENCOEX and SICAD exchange rates), is no longer reported in Cash and cash equivalents. and the write-off of income In future periods, our financial results will only include sales of finished goods to our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries to the extent we receive cash payments from those subsidiaries (expected to be largely through the CENCOEX exchange market). Accordingly, we will not include the results of our on-the- ground (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries. Any dividends from our (cid:57)enezuelan subsidiaries will be recorded as operating income upon receipt of the cash. Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, consumer and trade promotion accruals, restructuring reserves, pensions, post-employment benefits, stock options, valuation of acquired intangible assets, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long- lived assets, deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions and contingencies. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not generally believe such differences would materially affect the financial statements in any individual year. However, in regard to ongoing impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, significant deterioration in future cash flow projections or other assumptions used in estimating fair values versus those anticipated at the time of the initial valuations, could result in impairment charges that materially affect the financial statements in a given year. Re(cid:89)enue Recognition Sales are recognized when revenue is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue transactions represent sales of inventory. The revenue recorded is presented net of sales and other taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities. The revenue includes shipping and handling costs, which generally are included in the list price to the customer. Our policy is to recognize revenue when title to the product, ownership and risk of loss transfer to the customer, which can be on the date of shipment or the date of receipt by the customer. Amounts in millions of dollars except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. return A provision for payment discounts and product allowances is recorded as a reduction of sales in the same period the revenue is recognized. Trade promotions, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances, merchandising funds and consumer coupons, are offered through various programs to customers and consumers. Sales are recorded net of trade promotion spending, which is recognized as incurred, generally at the time of the sale. Most of these arrangements have terms of approximately one year. Accruals for expected payouts under these programs are included as accrued marketing and promotion in the Accrued and other liabilities line item in the Consolidated (cid:37)alance Sheets. Cost of Products Sold Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacture of product, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished product. Cost of products sold also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity. inbound freight costs, internal Selling, General and Administrati(cid:89)e Ex(cid:83)ense Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) is primarily comprised of marketing expenses, selling expenses, research and development costs, administrative and other indirect overhead costs, depreciation and amortization expense on non-manufacturing assets and other miscellaneous operating items. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and were $2.0 billion in 2015 and 2014 and $1.9 billion in 2013. Advertising costs, charged to expense as incurred, include worldwide television, print, radio, internet and in-store advertising expenses and were $8.3 billion in 2015, $9.0 billion in 2014 and $9.4 billion in 2013. Non-advertising related components of the Company's total marketing spending include costs associated with consumer promotions, product sampling and sales aids, which are included in SG&A, as well as coupons and customer trade funds, which are recorded as reductions to net sales. Other Non-O(cid:83)erating Income, Net Other non-operating income, net, primarily includes net acquisition and divestiture gains and investment income. Currenc(cid:92) Translation Financial statements of operating subsidiaries outside the U.S. generally are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate those statements into U.S. dollars are recorded in Other comprehensive income (OCI). For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. Re- measurement adjustments for financial statements in highly inflationary economies and other transactional exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings. Cash Flow Presentation The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are prepared using the indirect method, which reconciles net earnings to cash flow Amounts in millions of dollars except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. 51 The Procter & Gamble Company from operating activities. Cash flows from foreign currency transactions and operations are translated at an average exchange rate for the period. Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged. Cash flows from derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges are classified as financing activities. Realized gains and losses from non-qualifying derivative instruments used to hedge currency exposures resulting from intercompany financing transactions are also classified as financing activities. Cash flows from other derivative instruments used to manage interest, commodity or other currency exposures are classified as operating activities. Cash payments related to income taxes are classified as operating activities. Cash flows from the Company's discontinued operations are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In(cid:89)estments Investment securities consist of readily marketable debt and equity securities. Unrealized gains or losses from investments classified as trading, if any, are charged to earnings. Unrealized gains or losses on securities classified as available-for-sale are generally recorded in OCI. If an available-for-sale security is other than temporarily impaired, the loss is charged to either earnings or OCI depending on our intent and ability to retain the security until we recover the full cost basis and the extent of the loss attributable to the creditworthiness of the issuer. Investment securities are included as Available-for-sale investment securities and Other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated (cid:37)alance Sheets. Investments in certain companies over which we exert significant influence, but do not control the financial and operating decisions, are accounted for as equity method investments. Other investments that are not controlled, and over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the cost method.

Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates(cid:30) however, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other financial instruments, including cash equivalents, certain investments and short-term debt, are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair values of long-term debt and financial instruments are disclosed in Note 5. New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies In May 2014, the FAS(cid:37) issued ASU 2014-09, (cid:178)Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).(cid:179) This guidance outlines a single, comprehensive model for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. (cid:58)e will adopt the standard no later than July 1, 2018. (cid:58)hile we are currently assessing the impact of the new standard, we do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(cid:58)e believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable and are comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. However, actual events and results could differ substantially from those used in our valuations. To the extent such factors result in a failure to achieve the level of projected cash flows used to estimate fair value, we may need to record additional non-cash impairment charges in the future. (cid:58)e also considered the structure and value of the divestiture agreement with (cid:37)H in the impairment testing for (cid:37)atteries. If the value of (cid:37)H(cid:181)s shares of the Company declines further before the transaction closing date, we may need to record additional non-cash impairment charges as part of discontinued operations in the future.

During 2015, we determined that the estimated fair value of our (cid:37)atteries reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, resulting in a series of impairment charges. The underlying fair value assessment was initially triggered by an agreement in September 2014 to sell the China-based battery joint venture and a related decision to pursue options to exit the remainder of the (cid:37)atteries business. The agreement to sell the China- based battery joint venture was at a transaction value that was below the earnings multiple implied from the prior valuation of our (cid:37)atteries business, which effectively eliminated our fair value cushion. As a result, the remaining business unit cash flows no longer supported the remaining carrying amount of the (cid:37)atteries business. Due largely to these factors, we recorded an initial non-cash, before and after-tax impairment charge of $863 to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill for the (cid:37)atteries business unit to its estimated fair value. These same factors resulted in a decline in the fair value of our Duracell trade name intangible asset below its carrying value. This resulted in a non-cash, before-tax impairment charge of $110 ($69 after tax) to reduce the carrying amount of this asset to its estimated fair value. In November 2014, the Company reached an agreement to divest the (cid:37)atteries business via a split transaction in which the Company will exchange a recapitalized Duracell Company for (cid:37)erkshire Hathaway's ((cid:37)H) shares of P&G stock (see Note 13). (cid:37)ased on the terms of the agreement and the value of (cid:37)H's shares of P&G stock as of the transaction date and changes thereto through June 30, 2015, the Company recorded additional non-cash, before and after-tax impairment charges totaling $1.2 billion. All of the fiscal 2015 impairment charges in the (cid:37)atteries business are included as part of discontinued operations. The (cid:37)atteries goodwill is included in Corporate in the preceding table as of June 30, 2013 and 2014. The remaining (cid:37)atteries goodwill at June 30, 2015 is reported in Assets held for sale in the Consolidated (cid:37)alance Sheet. The remaining change in goodwill during fiscal 2015 was primarily due to currency translation across all reportable segments. On July 31, 2014, the Company completed the divestiture of its Pet Care operations in North America, Latin America and other selected countries. In December 2014, the Company completed the divestiture of its Pet Care operations in the other markets, primarily the European union countries. The Pet Care business was accounted for as a discontinued operation as of June 30, 2014. As a result, the Pet Care goodwill is included in Corporate in the preceding table as of June 30, 2013. Pet Care goodwill and intangible assets at June 30, 2014 were reported in Assets held for sale in accordance with the for discontinued operations. The accounting principles remaining change in goodwill during fiscal 2014 was primarily due to currency translation across all reportable segments. All of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges that are not reflected in discontinued operations are included in Corporate for segment reporting. The goodwill and intangible asset valuations are dependent on a number of significant estimates and assumptions, including macroeconomic conditions, overall category growth rates, competitive activities, cost containment and margin expansion Amounts in millions of dollars except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. The Procter & Gamble Company 54 (cid:49)(cid:50)(cid:55)(cid:40) (cid:22) SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION The components of property, plant and equipment were as follows: Years ended (cid:45)une (cid:22)0 2015 2014 PROPERTY, PLANT AND E(cid:52)UIPMENT (cid:37)uildings Machinery and equipment Land Construction in progress TOTAL PROPERTY, PLANT AND E(cid:52)UIPMENT Accumulated depreciation PROPERTY, PLANT AND E(cid:52)UIPMENT, NET (cid:7) (cid:26),209 $ 8,022 (cid:22)0,(cid:22)4(cid:25) 32,398 (cid:26)95 2,99(cid:26) 893 3,114 41,(cid:22)4(cid:26) 44,427 (cid:11)21,0(cid:26)9(cid:12) (22,123) (cid:7) 20,2(cid:25)(cid:27) $ 22,304 Selected components of current and noncurrent liabilities were as follows: Years ended (cid:45)une (cid:22)0 2015 2014 ACCRUED AND OTHER LIABILITIES - CURRENT Marketing and promotion (cid:7) 2,901 $ 3,290 Compensation expenses Restructuring reserves Taxes payable Legal and environmental Other TOTAL 1,455 1,647 (cid:22)(cid:27)9 (cid:27)45 20(cid:27) 381 711 399 2,52(cid:26) 2,571 (cid:7) (cid:27),(cid:22)25 $ 8,999 OTHER NONCURRENT LIABILITIES Pension benefits (cid:7) 5,5(cid:27)(cid:22) $ 5,984 Other postretirement benefits Uncertain tax positions Other TOTAL 1,414 1,01(cid:25) (cid:26)(cid:27)2 1,906 1,843 802 (cid:7) (cid:27),(cid:26)95 $ 10,535 RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM including manufacturing The Company has historically incurred an ongoing annual level of restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, and workforce optimization. (cid:37)efore-tax costs incurred under the ongoing program have generally ranged from $250 to $500 annually. In fiscal 2012, the Company initiated an incremental restructuring program as part of a productivity and cost savings plan to reduce costs in the areas of supply chain, research and development, marketing and overheads. The productivity and cost savings plan was designed to accelerate cost reductions by streamlining management decision making, manufacturing and other work processes in order to help fund the Company's growth strategy. The Company expects to incur in excess of $5 billion in before- tax restructuring costs over a six year period (from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2017), including costs incurred as part of the ongoing and incremental restructuring program. Through the end of fiscal 2015, we have incurred $3.9 billion of the total expected restructuring charges under the program. The program includes a non-manufacturing overhead enrollment reduction target of approximately 25(cid:8) - 30(cid:8) through fiscal This has been updated from the previous non- 2017. manufacturing overhead enrollment reduction target of approximately 16(cid:8) - 22(cid:8) through fiscal 2016, which we expect to exceed. Through fiscal 2015, the Company has reduced non-manufacturing enrollment by approximately 12,600, or approximately 21(cid:8) (22(cid:8) as of July 1, 2015). The reductions are enabled by the elimination of duplicate work, simplification through the use of technology and optimization of various functional and business organizations and the Company's global footprint. In addition, the plan includes integration of newly acquired companies and the optimization of the supply chain and other manufacturing processes. Restructuring costs incurred consist primarily of costs to separate employees, asset-related costs to exit facilities and other costs as outlined below. The Company incurred total restructuring charges of approximately $1,068 and $806 for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately $427 and $358 of these charges were recorded in SG&A for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and approximately $628 and $399 of these charges were recorded in Cost of products sold, respectively. The remainder is included in discontinued operations. Since the inception of this restructuring program, the Company has incurred charges of approximately $3.9 billion. Approximately $2.0 billion of these charges were related to separations, $954 were asset-related and $944 were related to other restructuring- type costs.

For the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, these severance packages included Amounts in millions of dollars except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. and 1,640 2,340 non-manufacturing approximately employees, respectively. These separations were primarily in North America and (cid:58)estern Europe. The packages were predominantly voluntary and the amounts were calculated based on salary levels and past service periods. Severance costs related to voluntary separations are generally charged to earnings when the employee accepts the offer. Since its inception, the restructuring program has incurred separation charges related to approximately 14,300 employees, of which approximately 8,620 are non-manufacturing overhead personnel. Asset-Related Costs Asset-related costs consist of both asset write-downs and accelerated depreciation. Asset write-downs relate to the establishment of a new fair value basis for assets held-for-sale or disposal. These assets were written down to the lower of their current carrying basis or amounts expected to be realized upon disposal, less minor disposal costs. Charges for accelerated depreciation relate to long-lived assets that will be taken out of service prior to the end of their normal service period. These assets relate primarily to manufacturing consolidations and technology standardization. The asset- related charges will not have a significant impact on future depreciation charges. Other Costs Other restructuring-type charges are incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program. Such charges primarily include employee relocation related to separations and office consolidations, termination of contracts related to supply chain redesign and the cost to change internal systems and processes to support the underlying organizational changes. Consistent with our historical policies for ongoing restructuring-type activities, the restructuring program charges are funded by and included within Corporate for both management and segment reporting. Accordingly, all charges under the program are included within the Corporate reportable segment.

(cid:58)e evaluate exposures on a centralized basis to take advantage of natural exposure correlation and netting. To the extent we choose to manage volatility associated with the net exposures, we enter into various financial transactions that we account for using the applicable accounting guidance for derivative instruments financial transactions are governed by our policies covering acceptable counterparty exposure, instrument types and other hedging practices. and hedging activities. These At inception, we formally designate and document qualifying instruments as hedges of underlying exposures. (cid:58)e formally assess, at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Fluctuations in the value of these instruments generally are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. This is driven by the high degree of effectiveness between the exposure being hedged and the hedging instrument. The ineffective portion of a change in the fair value of a qualifying instrument is immediately recognized in earnings. The amount of ineffectiveness recognized was immaterial for all years presented. Credit Risk Management (cid:58)e have counterparty credit guidelines and normally enter into transactions with investment grade financial institutions, to the extent commercially viable. Counterparty exposures are monitored daily and downgrades in counterparty credit ratings are reviewed on a timely basis. (cid:58)e have not incurred, and do not expect losses on our risk management or other financial instruments. to incur, material credit Substantially all of the Company's financial instruments used in hedging transactions are governed by industry standard netting and collateral agreements with counterparties. If the Company's credit rating were to fall below the levels stipulated in the agreements, the counterparties could demand either collateralization or termination of the arrangements. The aggregate fair value of the instruments covered by these contractual features that are in a net liability position as of June 30, 2015, was not material. The Company has not been required to post collateral as a result of these contractual features. Interest Rate Risk Management Our policy is to manage interest cost using a mixture of fixed- rate and variable-rate debt. To manage this risk in a cost- efficient manner, we enter into interest rate swaps whereby we agree to exchange with the counterparty, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to a notional amount. and the underlying debt obligations Interest rate swaps that meet specific accounting criteria are accounted for as fair value or cash flow hedges. For fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the hedging instruments are immediately recognized in interest expense. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument is reported in OCI and reclassified into interest expense over the life of the underlying debt obligation. The ineffective portion for both cash flow and fair value hedges, which was not material for any year presented, was immediately recognized in interest expense. Foreign Currenc(cid:92) Risk Management (cid:58)e manufacture and sell our products and finance operations in a number of countries throughout the world. As a result, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage the exchange rate risk primarily associated with the financing of our operations, we have historically used a combination of forward contracts, options and currency swaps. As of June 30, 2015, we had currency swaps with original maturities up to five years, which are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of these instruments is reported in OCI and reclassified into SG&A and interest expense in the same period or periods during which the related hedged transactions affect earnings. The ineffective portion, which was not material for any year presented, was immediately recognized in SG&A. The change in fair values of certain non-qualifying instruments used to manage foreign exchange exposure of intercompany financing transactions and certain balance sheet items subject to revaluation are immediately recognized in earnings, substantially offsetting the foreign currency mark-to-market impact of the related exposures. Net In(cid:89)estment Hedging (cid:58)e hedge certain net investment positions in foreign subsidiaries. To accomplish this, we either borrow directly in foreign currencies and designate all or a portion of the foreign currency debt as a hedge of the applicable net investment position or we enter into foreign currency swaps that are designated as hedges of net investments. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in OCI to offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. The ineffective portion of these hedges, which was not material in any year presented, was immediately recognized in interest expense. Commodit(cid:92) Risk Management Certain raw materials used in our products or production processes are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, political and economic variables and other unpredictable factors. To manage the volatility related to anticipated purchases of certain of these materials, we have historically, on a limited basis, used futures and options with maturities generally less than one year and swap contracts with maturities up to five years. As of and during the years ended Amounts in millions of dollars except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. June 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not have any commodity hedging activity. Insurance (cid:58)e self-insure for most insurable risks. However, we purchase insurance for Directors and Officers Liability and certain other coverage where it is required by law or by contract. Fair Value Hierarch(cid:92) Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: (cid:135) Level 1: (cid:52)uoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity's own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets. (cid:135) (cid:135) 57 The Procter & Gamble Company (cid:58)hen applying fair value principles in the valuation of assets and liabilities, we are required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of any financial assets or liabilities during the year. Our fair value estimates take into consideration the credit risk of both the Company and our counterparties. (cid:58)hen active market quotes are not available for financial assets and liabilities, we use industry standard valuation models. (cid:58)here applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market- based observable inputs including credit risk, interest rate curves, foreign currency rates and forward and spot prices for currencies. In circumstances where market-based observable inputs are not available, management judgment is used to develop assumptions to estimate fair value. Generally, the fair value of our Level 3 instruments is estimated as the net present value of expected future cash flows based on external inputs. The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy: Years ended (cid:45)une (cid:22)0 ASSETS RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE Investments: U.S. government securities Corporate bond securities Other investments Derivatives relating to: Le(cid:89)el 1 Le(cid:89)el 2 Le(cid:89)el (cid:22) Total 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 (cid:7) (cid:177) $ (cid:177) (cid:7) (cid:22),495 1,2(cid:26)2 (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:25) (cid:177) 6 $ 1,631 497 (cid:177) (cid:7) (cid:177) $ (cid:177) (cid:7) (cid:22),495 1,2(cid:26)2 (cid:22)0 (cid:177) 24 (cid:177) 24 $ 1,631 497 30 Foreign currency hedges Other foreign currency instruments (1) Interest rates Net investment hedges (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:22)12 1(cid:22) 1(cid:26)2 9(cid:25) 187 24 197 49 (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:22)12 1(cid:22) 1(cid:26)2 9(cid:25) 187 24 197 49 TOTAL ASSETS RECORDED AT FAIR (cid:7) VALUE (cid:11)2(cid:12) LIABILITIES RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE Derivatives relating to: (cid:25) $ 6 (cid:7) 5,(cid:22)(cid:25)0 $ 2,585 (cid:7) 24 $ 24 (cid:7) 5,(cid:22)90 $ 2,615 Other foreign currency instruments (1) Interest rates Net investment hedges (cid:7) (cid:177) $ (cid:177) (cid:7) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) TOTAL LIABILITIES RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE (cid:11)(cid:22)(cid:12) FAIR VALUE OF LONG-TERM DEBT (cid:11)4(cid:12) (cid:7)20,94(cid:26) (cid:7) (cid:177) $ (cid:177) (cid:7) (cid:25)(cid:27) 1(cid:22) 1 (cid:27)2 $ $ 66 29 1 96 (cid:7) (cid:177) $ (cid:177) (cid:7) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:177) (cid:7) (cid:177) $ (cid:177) (cid:7) (cid:25)(cid:27) 1(cid:22) 1 (cid:27)2 $ $ 66 29 1 96 $24,747 (cid:7) 2,1(cid:27)2 $ 1,682 (cid:7) (cid:177) $ (cid:177) (cid:7)2(cid:22),129 $26,429 (1) Other foreign currency instruments are comprised of foreign currency financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges.

(cid:49)(cid:50)(cid:55)(cid:40) (cid:27) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (cid:58)e have stock-based compensation plans under which we annually grant stock option, restricted stock, restricted stock unit (RSU) and performance stock unit (PSU) awards to key managers and directors. Exercise prices on options granted have been, and continue to be, set equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of the grant. Since September 2002, the key manager stock option awards granted vest after three years and have a 10-year life. The key manager stock option awards granted from July 1998 through August 2002 vested after three years and have a 15-year life. Key managers can elect to receive up to the entire value of their option award in RSUs. Key manager RSUs vest and are settled in shares of common stock five years from the grant date. The awards provided to the Company's directors are in the form of restricted stock and RSUs. In addition to our key manager and director grants, we make other minor stock option and RSU Amounts in millions of dollars except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. grants to employees for which the terms are not substantially different than key manager awards. Senior-level executives receive PSU awards. Under this program, the number of PSUs that will vest three years after the respective grant date is based on the Company's performance relative to pre-established performance goals during that three year period. A total of 185 million shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under stock-based compensation plan approved by shareholders in 2014. The number of shares available for award under the 2014 plan includes the shares previously authorized but not awarded under the shareholder approved plans in 2003 and 2009. A total of 156 million shares remain available for grant under the 2014 plan. Total stock-based compensation expense for stock option grants was $223, $246 and $249 for 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total compensation expense for restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs was $114, $114 and $97 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs was $109, $127 and $96 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In calculating the compensation expense for stock options granted, we utilize a binomial lattice-based valuation model. Assumptions utilized in the model, which are evaluated and revised to reflect market conditions and experience, were as follows: Years ended (cid:45)une (cid:22)0 2015 2014 201(cid:22) Interest rate 0.1 - 2.1(cid:8) 0.1 - 2.8(cid:8) 0.2 - 2.0(cid:8) (cid:58)eighted average interest rate Dividend yield Expected volatility (cid:58)eighted average volatility Expected life in years 2.0(cid:8) (cid:22).1(cid:8) 2.5(cid:8) 3.1(cid:8) 1.8(cid:8) 2.9(cid:8) 11 - 15(cid:8) 15 - 17(cid:8) 14 - 15(cid:8) 15(cid:8) (cid:27).(cid:22) 16(cid:8) 8.2 15(cid:8) 8.9 Lattice-based option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs and those ranges are disclosed in the preceding table. Expected volatilities are based on a combination of historical volatility of our stock and implied volatilities of call options on our stock. (cid:58)e use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination patterns within the valuation model. The expected life of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Defined Contri(cid:69)ution Retirement Plans (cid:58)e have defined contribution plans which cover the majority of our U.S. employees, as well as employees in certain other countries. These plans are fully funded. (cid:58)e generally make contributions to participants' accounts based on individual base salaries and years of service. Total global defined contribution expense was $305, $311 and $314 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The primary U.S. defined contribution plan (the U.S. DC plan) comprises the majority of the expense for the Company's defined contribution plans. the contribution rate is set annually. Total contributions for this plan approximated 14(cid:8) of total participants' annual wages and salaries in 2015 and 15(cid:8) in 2014 and 2013. For the U.S. DC plan, (cid:58)e maintain The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust (Trust) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to provide a portion of the funding for the U.S. DC plan and other retiree benefits (described below). Operating details of the ESOP are provided at the end of this Note. The fair value of the ESOP Series A shares allocated to participants reduces our cash contribution required to fund the U.S. DC plan. Defined Benefit Retirement Plans and Other Retiree Benefits (cid:58)e offer defined benefit retirement pension plans to certain employees. These benefits relate primarily to local plans outside the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, plans assumed in previous acquisitions covering U.S. employees. (cid:58)e also provide certain other retiree benefits, primarily health care and life insurance, for the majority of our U.S. employees who become eligible for these benefits when they meet minimum age and service requirements. Generally, the health care plans require cost sharing with retirees and pay a stated percentage of expenses, reduced by deductibles and other coverages. These benefits are primarily funded by ESOP Series (cid:37) shares and certain other assets contributed by the Company.

Amounts in millions of dollars except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. The underfunding of pension benefits is primarily a function of the different funding incentives that exist outside of the U.S. In certain countries, there are no legal requirements or financial incentives provided to companies to pre-fund pension obligations prior to their due date. In these instances, benefit payments are typically paid directly from the Company's cash as they become due. 63 The Procter & Gamble Company Years ended (cid:45)une (cid:22)0 CLASSIFICATION OF NET AMOUNT RECOGNI(cid:61)ED Noncurrent assets Current liabilities Noncurrent liabilities NET AMOUNT RECOGNI(cid:61)ED AMOUNTS RECOGNI(cid:61)ED IN ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (cid:11)AOCI(cid:12) Net actuarial loss Prior service cost(cid:18)(credit) NET AMOUNTS RECOGNI(cid:61)ED IN AOCI Pension Benefits Other Retiree Benefits 2015 2014 2015 2014 (cid:7) $ 2(cid:26)(cid:25) (cid:11)(cid:22)9(cid:12) (cid:7) 69 (40) (cid:177) $ (cid:11)20(cid:12) (cid:177) (25) (cid:11)5,5(cid:27)(cid:22)(cid:12) (5,984) (cid:11)1,414(cid:12) (1,906) (cid:7) (cid:11)5,(cid:22)4(cid:25)(cid:12) $ (5,955) (cid:7) (cid:11)1,4(cid:22)4(cid:12) $ (1,931) (cid:7) (cid:7) 4,4(cid:27)(cid:27) (cid:22)00 4,(cid:26)(cid:27)(cid:27) $ $ 5,169 344 5,513 (cid:7) (cid:7) 1,(cid:26)(cid:22)1 (cid:11)(cid:22)4(cid:25)(cid:12) 1,(cid:22)(cid:27)5 $ $ 1,871 (39) 1,832 The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $14,239 and $14,949 as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

These assumptions are weighted to reflect each country that may have an impact on the cost of providing retirement benefits. As of June 30, 2015, we updated our assumptions for revised mortality projections for the measurement of U.S. retirement benefit obligations that reflect longevity improvements of plan participants, resulting in an increase to future pension expense and to our benefit obligation. The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations recorded on the Consolidated (cid:37)alance Sheets as of June 30, were as follows: (1) Discount rate Rate of compensation increase Health care cost trend rates assumed for next year Rate to which the health care cost trend rate is assumed to decline (ultimate trend rate) Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate (1) Determined as of end of year.

Several factors are considered in developing the estimate for the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets. For the defined benefit retirement plans, these factors include historical rates of return of broad equity and bond indices and projected long-term rates of return obtained from pension investment consultants. The expected long-term rates of return for plan assets are 8 - 9(cid:8) for equities and 5 - 6(cid:8) for bonds. For other retiree benefit plans, the expected long-term rate of return reflects that the assets are comprised primarily of Company stock. The expected rate of return on Company stock is based on the long-term projected return of 8.5(cid:8) and reflects the historical pattern of returns. Assumed health care cost trend rates could have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the other retiree benefit plans. A one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects: Effect on the total service and interest cost components Effect on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation One-Percentage Point Increase One-Percentage Point Decrease $ 81 $ 824 (62) (642) (cid:51)l(cid:68)n (cid:36)ssets(cid:17) Our investment objective for defined benefit retirement plan assets is to meet the plans' benefit obligations, while minimizing the potential for future required Company plan contributions. The investment strategies focus on asset class diversification, liquidity to meet benefit payments and an appropriate balance of long-term investment return and risk. Target ranges for asset allocations are determined by matching the actuarial projections of the plans' future liabilities and benefit payments with expected long-term rates of return on the assets, taking into account investment return volatility and correlations across asset classes. Plan assets are diversified across several investment managers and are generally invested in liquid funds that are selected to track broad market equity and bond indices. Investment risk is carefully controlled with plan assets rebalanced to target allocations on a periodic basis and with continual monitoring of investment managers' performance relative to the investment guidelines established with each investment manager.

Common collective funds are valued using the net asset value reported by the managers of the funds and as supported by the unit prices of actual purchase and sale transactions. Company stock listed as Level 2 in the hierarchy represents preferred shares which are valued based on the value of Company common stock. The majority of our Level 3 pension assets are insurance contracts. Their fair values are based on their cash equivalent or models that project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs, including credit risk and interest rate curves.

The original borrowing of $1.0 billion has been repaid in full, and advances from the Company of $86 remain outstanding at June 30, 2015. Each share is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of the Company's common stock. The dividend for the current year was equal to the common stock dividend of $2.59 per share. The liquidation value is $6.82 per share. In 1991, the ESOP borrowed an additional $1.0 billion. The proceeds were used to purchase Series (cid:37) ESOP Convertible Class A Preferred Stock to fund a portion of retiree health care benefits. These shares, net of the ESOP's debt, are considered plan assets of the other retiree benefits plan discussed above. Debt service requirements are funded by preferred stock dividends, cash contributions and advances provided by the Company, of which $662 is outstanding at June 30, 2015. Each share is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of the Company's common stock. The dividend for the current year was equal to the common stock dividend of $2.59 per share. The liquidation value is $12.96 per share. Our ESOP accounting practices are consistent with current ESOP accounting guidance, including the permissible continuation of certain provisions from prior accounting guidance. ESOP debt, which is guaranteed by the Company, is recorded as debt (see Note 4) with an offset to the reserve for ESOP debt retirement, which is presented within shareholders' equity. Advances to the ESOP by the Company are recorded as an increase in the reserve for ESOP debt retirement. Interest incurred on the ESOP debt is recorded as interest expense. Dividends on all preferred shares, net of related tax benefits, are charged to retained earnings.

Country mix impacts of foreign operations includes the effects of foreign subsidiaries' earnings taxed at rates other than the U.S. statutory rate, the U.S. tax impacts of non-U.S. earnings repatriation and any net impacts of intercompany transactions. Tax costs charged to shareholders' equity totaled $634 for the year ended June 30, 2015. This primarily relates to the tax effects of net investment hedges and the impact of certain adjustments to pension obligations recorded in stockholders' equity, partially offset by excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options. Tax benefits to shareholders' equity totaled $716 for the year ended June 30, 2014. This primarily relates to the tax effects of net investment hedges, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options and the impacts of certain adjustments to pension and other retiree benefit obligations recorded in shareholders' equity. (cid:58)e have undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $45.0 billion at June 30, 2015, for which deferred taxes have not been provided. Such earnings are considered indefinitely invested in the foreign subsidiaries. If such earnings were repatriated, additional tax expense may result. However, the calculation of the amount of deferred U.S. income tax on these earnings is not practicable because of the large number of assumptions necessary to compute the tax. 67 The Procter & Gamble Company A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for uncertain tax positions is as follows: Years ended (cid:45)une (cid:22)0 2015 2014 201(cid:22) BEGINNING OF YEAR (cid:7) 1,4(cid:22)(cid:26) $ 1,600 $ 1,773 Increases in tax positions for prior years Decreases in tax positions for prior years Increases in tax positions for current year Settlements with taxing authorities Lapse in statute of limitations Currency translation (cid:27)(cid:26) 146 162 (cid:11)14(cid:25)(cid:12) (296) (225) 11(cid:27) 142 188 (cid:11)250(cid:12) (135) (195) (cid:11)2(cid:26)(cid:12) (cid:11)12(cid:22)(cid:12) (33) 13 (98) (5) END OF YEAR (cid:7) 1,09(cid:25) $ 1,437 $ 1,600 Included in the total liability for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2015, is $510 that, depending on the ultimate resolution, could impact the effective tax rate in future periods. in approximately 140 taxable The Company is present jurisdictions and, at any point in time, has 60-70 jurisdictional audits underway at various stages of completion. (cid:58)e evaluate our tax positions and establish liabilities for uncertain tax positions that may be challenged by local authorities and may not be fully sustained, despite our belief that the underlying tax positions are fully supportable. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law and closing of statute of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the tax provision as appropriate. (cid:58)e have tax years open ranging from 2002 and forward. (cid:58)e are generally not able to reliably estimate the ultimate settlement amounts until the close of the audit. (cid:37)ased on information currently available, we anticipate that over the next 12 month period, audit activity could be completed related to uncertain tax positions in multiple jurisdictions for which we have accrued existing liabilities of approximately $445, including interest and penalties. Accounting pronouncements require that, without discretion, we recognize the additional accrual of any possible related interest and penalties relating to the underlying uncertain tax position in income tax expense, unless the Company qualifies for a specific exception. As of June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we had accrued interest of $347, $411 and $413 and accrued penalties of $19, $32 and $34, respectively, which are not included in the above table. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $15, $(6) and $24 in interest benefit(cid:18)(expense) and $13, $2 and $32 in penalties benefit, respectively.

The maximum obligation under some indemnifications is also not explicitly stated and, as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Other than obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of divestiture, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. (cid:58)e believe that if we were to incur a loss on any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In certain situations, we guarantee loans for suppliers and customers. The total amount of guarantees issued under such arrangements is not material.

These matters involve a number of other consumer products companies and(cid:18)or retail customers. Several regulatory authorities in Europe have issued separate decisions pursuant to their investigations alleging that the Company, along with several other companies, engaged in violations of competition laws in those countries. Many of these matters have concluded and the fines have been paid.

The Company completed the divestiture of its Pet Care business during the current fiscal year. On November 13, 2014, the Company announced that it plans to divest the (cid:37)atteries business via a transaction with (cid:37)erkshire Hathaway. The Company expects to complete the (cid:37)atteries transaction in the beginning of calendar year 2016, pending necessary regulatory approvals. These G(cid:37)Us are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 13). Under U.S. GAAP, the remaining G(cid:37)Us underlying the four sectors are aggregated into five reportable segments: 1) (cid:37)eauty, Hair and Personal Care, 2) Grooming, 3) Health Care, 4) Fabric Care and Home Care and 5) (cid:37)aby, Feminine and Family Care.

The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in Note 1. Differences between these policies and U.S. GAAP primarily reflect income taxes, which are reflected in the segments using applicable blended statutory rates. Adjustments to arrive at our effective tax rate are included in Corporate. Corporate includes certain operating and non-operating activities that are not reflected in the operating results used internally to measure and evaluate the businesses, as well as items to adjust management reporting principles to U.S. GAAP. Operating activities in Corporate include the results of incidental businesses managed at the corporate level. Operating elements also include certain employee benefit costs, the costs of certain restructuring-type activities to maintain a competitive cost structure, including manufacturing and workforce optimization and other general Corporate items. The non-operating elements in Corporate primarily include interest expense, certain acquisition and divestiture gains and interest and investing income. Total assets for the reportable segments include those assets managed by the reportable segment, primarily inventory, fixed assets and intangible assets. Other assets, primarily cash, accounts receivable, investment securities and goodwill, are included in Corporate. Our business units are comprised of similar product categories.

(cid:49)(cid:50)(cid:55)(cid:40) (cid:20)(cid:22) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company divested its interest in a China-based battery joint venture, In November resulting in proceeds of approximately $560. the to divest the Company reached an agreement 2014, remainder of its (cid:37)atteries business to (cid:37)erkshire Hathaway ((cid:37)H) via a split transaction, in which the Company will exchange a recapitalized Duracell Company for (cid:37)H's shares of P&G stock. As of the date the transaction was signed, (cid:37)H's shares were valued at approximately $4.7 billion. As of June 30, 2015, this value has declined to approximately $4.1 billion. The Company expects to contribute approximately $1.8 billion in cash to the Duracell Company in the pre-transaction recapitalization, subject to final working capital adjustments. The Company recorded goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment charges during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 which reflected the total estimated proceeds from the divestiture transactions (see Note 2). Since the number of shares of P&G stock the Company will receive in the (cid:37)atteries transaction is fixed, the total value to be received in the transaction will be based on the Company's share price as of the closing date, which is expected to occur in the beginning of calendar 2016. Accordingly, any further increase or decrease in the Company's share price before the closing date will ultimately be reflected in earnings from discontinued operations as a gain or loss. The (cid:37)atteries business had historically been part of the Company's Fabric Care and Home Care reportable segment. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of the (cid:37)atteries business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Additionally, the (cid:37)atteries balance sheet positions as of June 30, 2015 are presented as Assets and Liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated (cid:37)alance Sheets.

This year, we updated our goals to focus on where we can make the most positive impact on our social outreach and reducing our environmental footprint as we continue to grow our business. We also clarified our strategies, better integrating sustainability into our daily business management. This is resulting in increased engagement, innovation and more high-potential projects. Our approach to bring our strategies to life and accelerate progress is to Preserve, Partner and Pioneer. 50% less weight per diaper over 20 years 150+ global partners with the P&G CSDW Program 7,000 tons of agricultural waste repurposed WE PRESERVE We are working to use less while doing more by reducing our environmental footprint and increasing our positive impact on the communities we serve. Our Pampers teams in Western Europe cut packaging by 80% by moving from “box-to-bag” packaging, saving 6,000+ tons of material, 430+ truckloads and 160+ tons of CO2 emissions per year. In the last 20 years, Pampers has reduced 50% of the weight of each diaper and 70% of the external packaging. WE PARTNER We can accomplish more with partners than we can alone. WE PIONEER We aim to improve tomorrow through industry-leading innovation. We are turning agricultural corn waste into a key cleaning ingredient for Tide Coldwater. Working with DuPont, we developed a breakthrough process that will turn 7,000 tons of agricultural waste annually into cellulosic ethanol. Tide Coldwater is the first brand in the world on a path to blend cellulosic ethanol in a scalable and commercial way. In partnership with several other companies, organizations and government offices, we are developing one of the largest biomass facilities in the United States. The plant will generate energy entirely from wood scraps, providing 100% of the steam energy needed to make Bounty and Charmin at our Albany, Georgia facility, plus generating additional electricity for Georgia residents. With support of more than 150 global partners, our key corporate cause, The P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program, marked its 10th year supporting families and children in some of the most remote parts of the world with clean drinking water.
