While presenting at an institutional investor conference in Boston, The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) confirmed its fiscal year 2010 and July - September quarter outlook for organic sales growth. The company also stated it expects to return to organic sales growth in the October - December quarter compared to prior year levels, following two quarters of organic sales declines.
"We acted with urgency to protect the structural economics of our business last year, and we are acting with urgency this year to deliver profitable market share growth," said President and Chief Executive Officer Bob McDonald.
Chief Financial Officer Jon Moeller added, "We clearly see that we are approaching an inflection point in P&G's organic sales trends. The innovations we are launching and the investments we are making are having an impact in the market.
