Restructuring Charges

COLGATE PALMOLIVE CO · 2026-10-30 · Importance 52 · Surprise 42 · In source text

The Strategic Growth and Productivity Program generated $327 million of charges in the first nine months of 2026, including $300 million in other expense and $20 million in SG&A. The charges were reflected in corporate operating loss, which was $902 million for the nine-month period compared with $523 million in 2025. The program’s third-quarter charges totaled $29 million, and the company’s Base Business reconciliations exclude these items. The release does not quantify related headcount reductions or facility exits.
