Operating Costs Comparisons as a percentage of net sales; Years ended June 30

Gross margin decreased 380 basis points to 47.4% of net sales in fiscal 2022. The decrease in gross margin was due to:

•390 basis points of increased commodity costs,

These impacts were partially offset by a 180 basis-point increase due to higher pricing.

•Overhead costs as a percentage of net sales decreased 110 basis points due to the positive scale impacts of the net sales increase and productivity savings.

Productivity-driven cost savings delivered 70 basis points of benefit to SG&A as a percentage of net sales.

Operating margin decreased 140 basis points to 22.2% due to the decrease in gross margin partially offset by the decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales as discussed above.

•Interest income was $51 million in fiscal 2022, an increase of $6 million versus the prior year.

The effective tax rate decreased 70 basis points to 17.8% in 2022 due to:

•a 45 basis-point decrease from higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation (a 200 basis-point benefit in the current year versus a 155 basis-point benefit in the prior year),

•a 30 basis-point decrease from discrete impacts related to uncertain tax positions (35 basis-point favorable impact in the current year versus a 5 basis-point favorable impact in the prior year), and

•a 15 basis-point decrease from higher current year deductions for foreign-derived intangible income versus prior year.

These decreases were partially offset by a 20 basis-point increase due to unfavorable geographic mix impacts of current year earnings.

exchange impacts reduced net earnings by approximately $274 million in fiscal 2022 due to a weakening of certain currencies against the U.S. dollar. This impact includes both transactional charges and translational impacts from converting earnings from foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars.

Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble increased $0.4 billion, or 3%, to $14.7 billion.

Restructuring Program to Deliver Productivity and Cost Savings

The Company has historically had an ongoing restructuring program with annual spending in the range of $250 to $500 million. Savings generated from the Company's

restructuring program are difficult to estimate, given the nature of the activities, the timing of the execution and the degree of reinvestment. In fiscal 2022, the Company incurred before tax restructuring costs within the range of our historical annual ongoing level of $250 to $500 million.
