Kimberly-Clark reported a strong finish to 2025, reflecting continued momentum from its multi-year transformation and Powering Care strategy, while issuing a positive outlook for 2026. Fourth-quarter net sales totaled $4.1 billion, down 0.6% year on year, but organic sales grew 2.1% driven by volume-plus-mix gains. Adjusted operating profit rose 13.1% to $629 million, and adjusted EPS increased 24% to $1.86, supported by productivity savings and disciplined cost management.

For the full year, net sales reached $16.4 billion, with organic growth of 1.7%, while adjusted EPS rose 3.2% to $7.53. Management said the company’s portfolio shift toward higher-growth, higher-margin personal care categories, along with innovation and efficiency gains, positions Kimberly-Clark for continued organic growth and operating momentum in 2026 as its transformation progresses.
