P&G's Dividend Suffered as Revenue and Earnings Growth Stalled
P&G's dividend per share growth is near worst in class as growth has stalled over the last few years
▪ At the same time, EPS growth has been flat, resulting in a payout ratio that is the highest in the industry
We are not suggesting that P&G cut its dividend. Rather, it is imperative that P&G returns to consistent
market share growth to support healthy earnings and dividend growth in the future

Source: SEC filings and annual reports. Note: Edgewell Personal Care excluded due to the fact that dividends were not paid until 2012 and dividend policy materially changed
after the Energizer Holdings spin-off. Beiersdorf excluded as the company has paid a flat €0.70 dividend since 2011.
