Clorox Reports $7.1 Billion in Net Sales, 190% Increase in EPS for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2025

The Clorox Company reported net sales of $7.1 billion for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, reflecting a slight decline compared to the previous year. Despite this, the company achieved a significant increase in diluted net earnings per share (EPS), which rose by 190% year-over-year, primarily due to the absence of losses from the divestiture of its Argentina business, higher sales volumes, and recoveries from cyberattack insurance. The company’s gross margin also expanded, indicating improved profitability despite challenging market conditions that led to temporary slowdowns in certain product categories.

In terms of strategic developments, Clorox completed the divestiture of its Better Health Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements (VMS) business in September 2024, aligning with its IGNITE strategy to focus on core operations. The company also announced plans to wind down its joint venture with Procter & Gamble for the Glad bags and wraps business by January 2026, which will involve acquiring P&G’s 20% interest at fair market value. Additionally, Clorox launched several new products, including various flavors of Hidden Valley Ranch and new cleaning products, as part of its ongoing innovation efforts.

Operationally, Clorox maintained a workforce of approximately 7,600 employees globally, with 73% based in the United States. The company reported that 86% of its net sales were generated from U.S. markets, highlighting its strong domestic presence. Clorox also noted that it had grown its overall market share during the fiscal year, despite facing heightened competition and changing consumer behaviors influenced by macroeconomic uncertainties. The company’s commitment to sustainability was recognized, as it ranked first on Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies list for the third consecutive year.

Looking ahead, Clorox plans to continue investing in its brands and capabilities to foster long-term, profitable growth. The company is in the process of implementing a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which is expected to enhance operational efficiencies and support its digital transformation efforts. However, Clorox anticipates potential challenges in fiscal year 2026, including inventory adjustments as retailers draw down stock in response to the ERP transition. The company remains focused on navigating market dynamics and consumer preferences to sustain its competitive position.
