■
P&G claims it over-delivered on its 2012-2016 $10bn productivity plan, and is now one year into a new
$12-13bn plan, yet peers have grown organic sales and operating margin faster since the plans began
P&G cites currency headwinds for lack of margin progress, but most peers have dealt with and overcome
currency headwinds (see page 25)

Disconnect between actual productivity results and P&G's claims...
"As of July 1 [2016], we have reduced [overhead] roles by nearly 25%, 2.5 times the original target. Including divestitures, we'll reduce
roles by about 35% by the end of fiscal 2017. To put these headcount reductions into perspective, we compared ourselves to 3G,
I generally regarded as the best-in-class benchmark in cost management and overhead efficiency. Our 25% reduction in overhead
! manufacturing staffing compares to the 3G benchmark range of 5% to 23%." - P&G, Analyst Day Presentation, 11/18/2016
