The consumer products company posted Q4 revenue of $1.99 billion, up 4.5% year-over-year and ahead of the $1.93 billion consensus, while adjusted EPS of $2.87 cleared the $2.21 estimate by 29.86%, a gap that looks impressive on the surface but was heavily shaped by a single operational catalyst. Ahead of its U.S. ERP system transition, retailers loaded up on inventory, contributing roughly 13 to 14 points of benefit to organic sales growth and an estimated $0.85 to $0.95 per share lift to earnings. That same dynamic now frames a challenging year ahead: Clorox guided fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS to $5.95 to $6.30, a decline of 18% to 23%, as the inventory drawdown reverses course and weighs on both revenue and margins. Net sales are expected to fall 6% to 10%, leaving investors to weigh a strong finish against a deliberately cautious reset year.

Key Takeaways

  • Incremental ERP transition shipments contributed approximately 13 to 14 points of benefit to Q4 net sales
  • Strong cost savings initiatives
  • Higher volume across all segments
  • Divestiture of Better Health VMS business and Argentina business reducing portfolio volatility
  • Insurance recoveries of $100 million related to August 2023 cyberattack

“While we delivered strong margin expansion and adjusted EPS growth for the year, we did not meet our topline expectations in the back half. We continued to see rapidly shifting consumer behaviors and broader market volatility which we expect to continue.”
