Kimberly-Clark reported modest top-line growth but stronger margins from its core business for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Net sales from continuing operations were $4.19 billion, up 0.6% year over year, while income from continuing operations was $410 million versus $444 million, reflecting a higher effective tax rate. Adjusted operating profit rose to $757 million and adjusted EPS from continuing operations increased 10.4% to $1.80, driven by productivity savings, tariff refunds and currency tailwinds, partly offset by lower net pricing and the exit of certain businesses.
The company completed the sale of a 51% interest in its International Family Care and Professional business on July 1, 2026 for approximately $1.3 billion in cash and retained a 49% equity stake initially valued at about $1.2 billion; this business is reported as discontinued operations, which posted a $60 million loss this quarter due to separation and tax charges. Kimberly-Clark continues to pursue the pending Kenvue acquisition, expected to involve issuing about 280 million shares and paying roughly $6.7 billion in cash.
The 2024 Transformation Initiative, extended through 2028, has generated cumulative pre-tax charges of $913 million toward an anticipated $1.5 billion, with significant productivity savings already identified. Management also notes short-term pressure from a social-media-driven diaper demand disruption in China and estimates roughly $150 million of incremental 2026 input costs tied to Middle East energy volatility.
Kimberly-Clark Chief Growth Officer Patricia Corsi exercised 966.0000 restricted share units into common stock on July 31, 2026.

Following the transaction, she held 1288.0000 restricted share units.
Kimberly-Clark Chief R&D Officer Craig Slavtcheff exercised 5,279 restricted share units on July 31, 2026, receiving the same number of common shares, including dividend-equivalent units.

Kimberly-Clark reported second quarter 2026 results with net sales of $4.189 billion, up 0.6 percent year over year. Gross margin was 38.3 percent, and adjusted gross margin was 38.8 percent, up 190 basis points versus the prior year. Operating profit was $633 million, while adjusted operating profit rose to $757 million, up 6.2 percent. Diluted EPS from continuing operations were $1.22, but adjusted EPS from continuing operations increased to $1.80, up 10.4 percent. Diluted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark were $1.04, with adjusted EPS attributable of $2.12, also up 10.4 percent.
For the first half of 2026, net sales grew 1.6 percent to $8.352 billion, and adjusted operating profit increased 4.9 percent to $1.489 billion. Cash provided by operations reached $1.653 billion versus $1.097 billion a year earlier, while capital spending was $776 million and dividends paid totaled $843 million. Total debt from continuing operations was $6.5 billion as of June 30, 2026. Results reflected the exit of the U.S. private label diaper business, strong productivity savings, and one-time tariff refunds, partially offset by transformation charges and a social media–driven disruption to diaper sales in China. The company highlighted progress on its Powering Care strategy, including the Suzano joint venture Arbex, a new alternative natural fibers pilot plant, and the pending Kenvue acquisition, and expects 2026 adjusted EPS from continuing operations to grow high single digits on a constant-currency basis.
