ITEM 7.01    REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

As disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018, The Procter and Gamble Company (“the Company”, “we”) adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (Topic 715)” effective July 1, 2018. This informational Form 8-K provides revised historical Consolidated earnings information, along with selected financial information tables, for the three months ended June 30, March 31, December 31 and September 30 for the fiscal years ended 2018 and 2017, as well as for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, reflecting the changes as described below.  This informational Form 8-K in no way revises or restates the previously filed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Company and consolidated subsidiaries for any period.
 
Fiscal Year 2018 and 2017 Changes
Topic 715 requires an entity to disaggregate the current service cost component from the other components of net defined benefit costs on the face of the income statement. It requires the service cost component to be presented with other current compensation costs for the related employees in the operating section of the income statement. Other components of net benefit costs are required to be presented outside of income from operations. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-07 retrospectively. As such, prior periods’ results have been revised to report the other components of net benefit costs, previously reported in Cost of products sold and Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A), within Other non-operating income/(expense), net. The other components of net benefit costs for the periods presented are a net credit/income. As a result, the movement of these components increases Cost of products sold and SG&A, with an offsetting benefit in Other non-operating income/(expense), net.
  
The above changes will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements beginning in the first quarter (July - September period) of fiscal year 2018-2019, starting with the Form 10-Q that will be issued for the three-month period ending September 30, 2018.  Reporting changes for the above items will be reflected for all historical periods presented.   In advance of the Form 10-Q filing, this document provides revised gross margin and operating income information for the Consolidated Earnings information for the three months ended June 30, March 31, December 31 and September 30 for the fiscal years ended 2018 and 2017, as well as for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.
 
This 8-K is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 “Regulation FD Disclosure.”

Exhibit 1: Selected Revised Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures
The following tables provide selected non-GAAP financial information revised for the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("Retirement Benefits Accounting Change"). In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, definitions of the non-GAAP measures presented with the selected revised financial information are provided below and the reconciliation to the most closely related revised GAAP measure are provided within the following tables.

The Core earnings from continuing operations measures included in the following reconciliation tables refer to the equivalent GAAP measures adjusted as applicable for the following items:
Incremental Restructuring: The Company has had and continues to have an ongoing level of restructuring activities. Such activities have resulted in ongoing annual restructuring related charges of approximately $250 - $500 million before tax. In 2012, the Company began a $10 billion strategic productivity and cost savings initiative that includes incremental restructuring activities. In 2017, we communicated details of an additional multi-year productivity and cost savings plan. This results in incremental restructuring charges to accelerate productivity efforts and cost savings. The adjustment to Core earnings includes only the restructuring costs above what we believe are the normal recurring level of restructuring costs.
Transitional Impacts of the U.S. Tax Act: In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "U.S. Tax Act"). This resulted in a net charge of $602 million for the fiscal year 2018. The adjustment to Core earnings only includes this transitional impact. It does not include the ongoing impacts of the lower U.S. statutory rate on current year earnings.
Early debt extinguishment charges: In fiscal 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded after-tax charges of $243 million and $345 million, respectively, due to the early extinguishment of certain long-term debt.  These charges represent the difference between the reacquisition price and the par value of the debt extinguished. 
We do not view the above items to be part of our sustainable results and their exclusion from Core earnings from continuing operations measures provides a more comparable measure of year-on-year results. These items are also excluded when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation.





Core operating profit margin: Core operating profit margin is a measure of the Company's operating margin adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Core gross margin: Core gross margin is a measure of the Company's gross margin adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company’s operating efficiency over time.
Core selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a percentage of net sales: Core SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales is a measure of the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses adjusted for items as indicated. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides a supplemental perspective to the Company's operating efficiency over time.
Core EPS and currency-neutral Core EPS: Core earnings per share, or Core EPS, is a measure of the Company's diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted as indicated. Currency-neutral Core EPS is a measure of the Company's Core EPS excluding the incremental current year impact of foreign exchange. Management views these non-GAAP measures as a useful supplemental measure of Company performance over time. These measures are also used when evaluating senior management in determining their at-risk compensation.
Core Tax Rate: This is a measure of the Company's revised tax rate on continuing operations adjusted for items as indicated.
