Colgate-Palmolive (CL) filed an 8-K stating it furnished a press release announcing earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and outlined expected costs for a new three-year Strategic Growth and Productivity Program.

It estimates 75% to 85% of these charges will require cash expenditures, with substantially all charges incurred by December 31, 2028. The Company indicates the charges will relate to initiatives across regions and businesses: North America (15% to 20%), Latin America (15% to 20%), Europe (10% to 15%), Asia Pacific (10% to 15%), Africa/Eurasia (5% to 10%), Hill’s Pet Nutrition (10% to 15%), and Corporate (10% to 15%).

Insights

CL outlines $200–$300M pretax charges for a three-year program.

Colgate-Palmolive disclosed cumulative pretax charges of $200–$300 million tied to a multi‑year productivity program. The mix skews to employee-related costs at 65%–75%, with asset-related and other charges at 25%–35%, covering items like accelerated depreciation and write-offs.

Cash impact is notable: the Company estimates 75%–85% of the charges will require cash expenditures, with substantially all charges incurred by December 31, 2028. Geographic and business allocation spans major regions plus Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Corporate, each with stated percentage ranges.

From an investment lens, this is primarily a cost-structuring disclosure. Actual effect on results will depend on timing and execution of initiatives; the 8‑K also furnishes a Q3 2025 earnings press release for context.
