 announced in August 2021, the Company continues to invest in transformative technologies and processes over a five-year period. This investment began in fiscal year 2022, and includes replacement of the Company's enterprise resource planning system (ERP) and transitioning to a cloud-based platform as well as the implementation of a suite of other digital technologies. Following the successful implementation of the new ERP system in Canada, Clorox began implementation in the U.S. in fiscal year 2026. The total incremental transformational investment is expected to be $570 to $580 million. It is expected that these implementations will generate efficiencies and transform the Company's operations in the areas of supply chain, digital commerce, innovation, brand building and more over the long term.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, certain retailers placed orders in advance of the ERP transition in the U.S. to minimize any potential inventory impacts during the implementation phase. The incremental shipments provided a benefit to net sales, however, these impacts are expected to reverse in fiscal year 2026 as retailers draw down this inventory. 

In fiscal year 2025, the Company fully leveraged its new streamlined operating model to deliver ongoing cost savings and further enhance the Company's ability to respond more quickly to changing consumer behaviors and innovate faster. 

Clorox continued to work toward its sustainability goals, which are embedded into the IGNITE strategy and throughout the business. The Company prioritizes greenhouse gas emission reductions and reducing plastic and other waste. Clorox continues to invest in talent development initiatives across all levels and functions. Through both funding and employee volunteering, The Clorox Company Foundation extends Clorox’s people-centered impact by promoting well-being and inclusivity within communities. 

The Company has been broadly recognized throughout fiscal year 2025 for its integrated sustainability efforts. For the third consecutive year, Clorox earned the top ranking on Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies list. The Company was also recognized by Time as one of the World’s Best Companies and listed among The Most Trustworthy Companies in America by Newsweek. Clorox also received the Technology Innovation Award from the Household & Commercial Products Association and was named to Wall Street Journal's 250 Best Managed Companies.

Clorox also continued its longtime commitment to providing value to shareholders through regular dividends. During fiscal year 2025, the Company paid $602 million in dividends to shareholders. In July 2025, Clorox announced an increase of 2% to its dividend, consistent with its longstanding practice of
