Kimberly-Clark reaffirms 2026 standalone outlook for mid-single-digit adjusted operating profit growth at constant currency

• Kimberly-Clark reaffirmed 2026 standalone guidance for mid-single-digit adjusted operating profit growth and high-single-digit adjusted continuing-operations EPS growth, both at constant currency.
• Adjusted EPS attributable to shareholders remains forecast to decline low-single digits at constant currency; adjusted free cash flow should reach approximately $2 billion.
• Organic sales growth should trail projected category growth of approximately 1.7% by 100 basis points, primarily reflecting China's diaper disruption.
• Following the Kenvue acquisition, projected 2027 EPS dilution is capped at mid-single digits versus standalone 2026 earnings, before double-digit growth in 2028.
• Expected acquisition synergies total $1.9 billion in costs within three years, with $1.4 billion in revenue synergies within four years.
