LAFLEY Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareowners, Fiscal 2015 was a tough year due to weakening developing market economics and the unprecedented negative impact of foreign exchange. Because we are a dollar-denominated company headquartered in the U.S., and given the reality of the geographic footprint of our business — with significant exposures in markets such as Brazil, Japan and Russia — Company worldwide sales and profits were negatively impacted by foreign exchange. All-in sales were down 5%, including the negative 6-point impact of foreign exchange. Organic sales grew 1%. Organic sales for our 10 core categories grew 2%, about one point below underlying market growth. On an all-in GAAP basis, earnings per share were $2.44, down due to significant one-time charges and restructuring costs. Core earnings per share were $4.02, down 2%, including a 13-point, $1.5 billion negative impact of foreign exchange. On a constant currency basis, core earnings per share were up 11%. 2 The Procter & Gamble Company Despite the sales and earnings pressures, we continued to generate strong adjusted free cash flow of $11.6 billion, increased the dividend for the 59th year in a row, and returned $11.9 billion to shareowners — $7.3 billion in dividends and $4.6 billion in share repurchase. Over the past five years, we’ve returned $60 billion to shareowners — $12 billion a year on average. We have announced our intention to return up to $70 billion to shareowners over the next four years through a combination of dividend payments, share retirement and share repurchase.
