Kimberly-Clark Piper Sandler 4th Annual Growth Frontiers Conference summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.
Strategic transformation and portfolio reshaping
Shifted from an industrial to a consumer products focus, leveraging strong engineering roots and building world-class consumer capabilities.
Reshaped the portfolio to address lower organic growth, gross margins, and high EPS volatility, notably through a joint venture with Suzano to reduce pulp cost exposure.
Portfolio changes are expected to accelerate progress toward 2030 targets, with a focus on higher-margin North American and personal care businesses.
Stranded costs from the Suzano transaction are being addressed, with plans to fully offset them within a few years post-close.
Remaining portfolio is two-thirds personal care, with significant opportunities for premiumization and margin improvement.
Marketing, brand building, and innovation
Increased advertising investment by $500–$600 million, shifting almost entirely to digital for targeted, efficient reach.
In-housed creative talent and adopted AI-driven digital marketing, especially in China, resulting in a record 11 Cannes Lion Awards this year.
Campaigns focus on destigmatizing categories and expanding markets, using celebrity partnerships and memorable, positive messaging.
Product innovation centers on absorbent core technology, rolled out globally and driving market share gains.
R&D investment is 1.9% of net sales, with CapEx rising to support supply chain transformation and new product platforms.
Financial outlook and productivity
Gross productivity program of $3 billion+ over five years is ahead of schedule, with additional $200 million in SG&A savings.
EPS for 2025 will reflect ongoing operations, discontinued IFP business, and a one-time depreciation benefit; dilution from the transaction will be offset by cost savings.
Productivity improvements are reaching world-class levels, with a lean, agile, and market-centric operating model.
Confident in achieving or exceeding 2030 margin and EBITDA targets ahead of schedule due to portfolio mix and operational improvements.
Category growth is steady, with some short-term promotional pressures in diapers; focus remains on long-term value over short-term volume.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
