Company Overview1
Proctor and Gamble is a company focused on providing branded consumer packaged goods of superior quality and value to improve the lives of the worlds customers. The company began in Ohio in 1905, stemming from a business founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. The company operates in over 180 countries today. The company is organized into two Global Business Units: Beauty and Grooming and Household Care. The company also operates in six separate segments. These include Beauty, Grooming, Health Care, Snacks and Pet Care, Fabric Care and Home Care, and Baby Care and Family Care. The Net Sales and Net Earnings for each of these segments in the past quarterly report are presented below:
Operating margins for each of these individual businesses vary as a result of the nature of materials and processes used to manufacture the products, the capital intensity of the businesses and differences in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. None of these operating segments is highly seasonal, though some do show some seasonal behavior. These segments include Batteries (Fabric Care and Home Care), Appliances (Grooming) and Prestige Fragrances (Beauty). Also, the anticipation or occurrence of certain natural disasters (such as hurricanes) can lead to unusually high demand for batteries. Business Model The business model of Proctor and Gamble relies on the continued growth and success of existing brands and products, as well as the creation of new products. P&G operates in highly competitive market and industry segments, and competes with super-premium, premium, and mid-tier value products. P&G works to win both the first moment of truth (when a consumer is shopping in the store) and the second moment of truth (when a consumer uses the product, evaluates how well it met
his or her expectations and whether it was a good value. Of high priority for P&G in the past year was research and product development activities, which were designed to enable sustained organic growth. Key Product Categories The largest product categories for P&G in 2011 were laundry (16% of net sales in 2011, 17% in 2010 and 2009) and diapers (11% of net sales in 2011, 2010, and 2009). Key Customers The main customers for P&G include mass merchandisers, grocery stores, membership club stores, drug stores and high frequency stores. Sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and its affiliates represent ~15% of total revenue in 2011 (16% in 2010 and 2009). No other customer represents more than 10% of net sales. The top ten customers account for about 32% of total unit volume in 2011 and 2010. P&G operates without any material backlog orders or contracts with the government. Sources and Availability of Materials Most of the raw and packaging materials are purchased from others including some single-source suppliers. Raw materials (mainly chemical) are produced by P&G to be used further in the manufacturing process. Also, fuel, natural gas and derivative products are important commodities used by P&G. Trademarks and Patents P&G owns licenses under patents and registered trademarks used in connection with activity in all businesses, and some of these patents cover significant product formulation and processes used to manufacture products. These trademarks are important to the overall marketing and branding of P&Gs products. Research and Development Expenditures Expenditures in research and development have allowed P&G to develop technologies and to obtain patents in many categories to meet the needs and improve the lives of its consumers. Total research and development expenses were $2001 mill in 2011 ($1950 mill in 2010, $1864 mill in 2009). Net sales by region The net sales by region for the past three years are presented below:
SWOT Analysis
Strengths Diverse range of business segments (6 operating segments) Most products are not highly seasonal Operates with high end (super-premium and premium) products Large amount of patents/trademarks owned Other than Wal-Mart, no other customer represents more than 10% of net sales Many billion dollar brands served Weaknesses Ability to achieve business objectives dependent on how well can respond to local and global competitors Face risks with significant international operations A failure of a key information technology system, process or site could have a material adverse impact on our business Price paid for commodities and other materials subject to fluctuation
Opportunities Threats Research and development efforts ($2001 million spent on R&D in 2011) to develop technology and obtain patents Worldwide reach and potential to expand into even more countries
A material change in consumer demand for products could have a significant impact on business Business is subject to legislation, regulation, and enforcement in the U.S. and abroad

Macroeconomic Analysis4,5,6,7,8
Due to the nature of the industry (targeting the household consumer), we decided to focus our economic analysis on Household metrics. This principal trend this most recent quarter (September 2011) is that consumer spending rose in as Americans saved less, which has contributed to momentum of GDP growth (sitting at a 2.5% annual rate, which is up from the 1.3% pace of the past 3 months).
Wages and Salaries: Private wages and salary disbursements increased $17.9 billion in September,
which is a considerable figure when compared to the $9.8 billion decrease in August. If this trend continues, it is a positive sign for a consumer staples company like P&G, because it means that consumers have more money to spend on household and personal products.
Disposable Personal Income (DPI): DPI increased 0.1% in September which is up from the 0.1%
decrease in August. Real DPI (which takes into account price changes) decreased by 0.1%, as compared to the 0.4% decrease in August. Trends in annual sales of household and personal products tend to mirror trends in disposable income. It is true that that the quantity of these products consumed remains steady throughout the economic cycle since they are consumer staples. So with the economic uncertainty that the United States is facing, a defensive industry will still see returns even during economic downturns. However this recent trend of an upwards bump in real disposable income is even better news for Procter and Gamble because with more money in their wallets, consumers are more likely to favor and buy even more of the private label products that P&G has to offer.

Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE): PCE increased in September by $72.1 billion (0.6%) as
compared to the $27.6 billion (0.2%) increase in August. Real PCE increased by 0.5%, which is also up from the decrease of less than 0.1% in August. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable income was 3.6% in September, which is down from the 4.1% in August, indicating that people are spending more of their money rather than putting it into savings, which is another good sign for P&G product sales.
Consumer Price Index (CPI): The index for all items less food and energy increased by 0.1% in
September, which is its smallest increase since March (the 12-month change stayed at 2% for the second straight month). This indicates that price changes associated with the cost of living are fairly steady as of now. This can be seen both positively and negatively for P&G. Consumer staple companies like P&G are not passing increasing costs (from rising commodity prices) along to consumers. However, this steady retail price inflation also means that since companies are not significantly raising their prices, consumers will be tempted to substitute away from the name brand consumer staple offerings or forgo purchases all together.
Foreign Exchange: Since international sales accounting for 63% of P&G revenue, it beneficial to look at
the value of the dollar as compared other currencies. The dollar has begun to appreciate a bit which could potentially make U.S exports less attractive, but the value is still relatively low in historic terms.
Industry Analysis9,10,11,12,13,14
Procter and Gamble operates in the nondurable consumer goods sector. These manufactured products can be divided into two categories: household and personal care. Household and personal care product companies are mostly conglomerates, which is the case for P&G. Companies in this industry compete on brand recognition, product quality, and the level of service they provide to their customers (in the form of retailers

and wholesalers). This industry is large and fragmented. P&G and Unilever account for about half of worldwide sales. The primary markets for the companies in this industry include industrialized nations in the United States and Europe, which are mature and highly competitive. Nondurable consumer goods are a mature industry and revenue and earnings are relatively steady throughout the business cycle. It is also classified as a defensive industry. These stocks perform well during good economic times and provide good downside protection during rough or uncertain times, such as the period we are facing right now. This can be seen in the fact that he sector and sub- industry (household goods) continues to outperform the S&P 1500 index. Year to date through October 14, the S&P Household Products Index rose 5.0%, compared to a 3.0% drop for the S&P 1500 Index. In 2010, the sub-industry index advanced 4.4%, versus a 14.2% rise for the S&P 1500.
Current Environment
So far in 2011, there has been improved demand in higher-priced products and discretionary items. However, there has also been a renewed fear that increased commodity costs pressures would force companies to compensate by charging higher prices for their products. However, the steady consumer price index (as discussed in the Macroeconomic Analysis) indicates that this does not appear to be the case as of now.
Industry Outlook
The industry outlook is neutral. Although we are seeing trends of increased demand for higher-priced products, consumers are expected to remain fairly price sensitive for the next couple of years. Success in defending high market share against suppliers of lower priced products will depend on a companys marketing and product innovation ability. The market looks to remain highly competitive due to the 11
maturity of the industry in developed countries. For this reason, there has been recent interest in venturing into emerging markets. The economic growth and changing lifestyles of populations in these emerging international markets looks to present great growth opportunities for established companies in the industry. Other ways that companies have been coping with the challenge of stimulating sales in a mature market are: creating new product categories, adding new distribution channels, and acquiring (and divesting) businesses.

Emerging Markets
With the saturation in U.S and Western European markets, developing markets are looking to be lucrative business opportunities. In many of these emerging markets, GDP, disposable income, and population are outpacing that of the United States and Western Europe. In addition, by 2020, four of the ten largest economies (in terms of GDP) will be emerging markets: China (#1), India (#3), Brazil (#7), and Mexico (#10). P&G has been, and looks to continue, to take advantage of emerging market opportunities, with 34% of their sales coming from emerging markets in 2010 (up from 20% in 2000).
Private labels still garner a sizable share of consumer spending. However, the private label product momentum is not evenly distributed across channels, and sales are declining across most consumer packaged goods departments.
14
For now, it looks as if it looks as if name brands will continue to enjoy the majority of the household goods market share despite the lower prices offered by private labels.
Green Revolution
Green products are holding strong even as the economy struggles. Before the recession, green products were among the fastest growing sectors in the U.S economy. This growth has since slowed, but customers are still committed to sustainability and buying green. Companies have begun to tap into the green market (P&Gs Tide Coldwater was the first detergent to be awarded the Green Good Housekeeping Seal in 2010) and there is still much opportunity for growth in this area. In addition to green product launches, companies in this industry are looking to make their own operations more sustainable.

like P&G. This establishes a substantial barrier that keeps the threat of new entrants low for this industry. Patents on products also serve as a barrier to entry. Buyer Power: High The profitability of P&G depends heavily on its buyers. P&G relies greatly on stores like Wal-Mart to generate a sizable portion of its revenue. For the past 3 years, about 16% of P&Gs total sales were to Wal-Mart. Losing Wal-Mart as a customer would put a sizable dent in P&Gs revenue. This high dependence reduces the bargaining power of P&G. Power of Suppliers: Low P&G does not have a strong reliance on any specific suppliers, which makes the power suppliers low. Consumer products companies like P&G might incur some costs from switching suppliers. However, supplier cost is still limited due to the sheer size of P&G, which gives the company substantial bargaining power over suppliers. Competitive Rivalry: High There are a considerable number of substitutes for P&Gs product offerings. In the markets that P&G sells its products, it has to compete against other branded products, as well as private labels. There are many different options when it comes to product offerings in this industry. Operating in the oversaturated and mature American and Western European markets does not make things any easier. Top companies must rely on brand recognition and product innovation to gain market share. Threat of Substitutes: Low-Medium The majority of products in the P&G portfolio are consumer staples, and therefore classified as necessities that do not really have substitutes. For example, there is no substitute for laundry detergents other than different types of laundry detergent. The same is true for most of their products (i.e. batteries, shaving cream, etc). However, substitutes do exist for some of their products lines like snacks and fragrances. In terms of substituting for readily available comparable products, the threat does exist but through rigorous marketing and ad campaigns, it is likely that P&Gs brand recognition will keep customers loyalty.

Market Analysis24,25
Upon first glance it seems PG has underperformed the market within the past year, but with a longer time horizon in mind it vastly outperformed the S&P 500. It is important to note that PGs returns do not include its dividends, which are above average as well. PGs P/E ratio is comparable to that of the S&P 500. Long term performance and a high dividend yield make PG seem attractive at first glance and worthy of more research.

Equity is 0.409. Unlike its peers, PG finances more of its activities from equity. They have similar debt ratios, however, once again indicating that short term solvency is not a problem.

Despite the ho-hum picture painted by the other analyses of PGs financial statements, it reported economic profit of $3.30 per share over the past twelve months. The bulk of this information was taken from annual and quarterly financial statements. The risk free rate is equal to the yield on 30 year treasuries as of market close on November 4, 2011 while the risk premium is rounded up from the results of the research paper Market Risk Premium Used in 56 Countries in 2011: A Survey with 6,014 Answers found online and cited by other analysts. The beta is from Google Finance. R&D Expense was capitalized for the NOPAT calculations.

Assumptions: Pessimistic revenue growth of 1% per year; Most Likely revenue growth equal to the five year average of 3.9% per year. Margins are calculated according to their averages from the preceding section in which the most recent quarterly data is weighted as a full year to account for the fact that short-term results are likely to be more similar. The margins for both Pessimistic and Most Likely scenarios are the same. Most Likely Shares reflect the recently announced $4B - $6B stock repurchase program for FY2012; Pessimistic Shares assume this program will be abandoned. Basic EPS calculation reduces NI to account for preferred stock and minority interests, but doesnt account for dilution. DPS calculation slightly extrapolates historical averages to arrive at a payout ratio of 50%. P/E calculated using Fridays closing price of $63.03.
Valuation32
Constant Dividend Growth Model
This model is rarely used because it assumes constant rates of growth for both revenues and dividends of a company, neither of which are very realistic. However, it is applicable to PG because of its relatively stable revenue and increasing dividends. The fact that PGs dividends grow at an increasing rate instead of a constant one results in a slightly lower expected return when compared with other valuation methods, but the positive alpha is the most important metric from this model. The positive alpha means that PGs expected return is more than worth the relative risk.
Breakup Analysis
32
23
PG operates under 6 distinct business segments, as mentioned in the company overview. PG clearly reports persegment results as part of each 10-K, almost as if they are inviting investors to perform a breakup analysis by making it easier. For this reason the necessary calculations were relatively simple. In order to find the value of each individual segment, we compared Net Income with average applicable P/E ratios as follows: Avon, Estee Lauder, and LOreal for Beauty; Church & Dwight (Arm & Hammer products) for both Grooming and Health Care; Colgate-Palmolive for Snacks & Pet Care (this is a bit of a stretch but Colgates rather large Science Diet brand is equivalent to PGs Eukanuba and Iams brands while PG is selling Pringles, its last Snacks brand); Ecolab and Church & Dwight for Fabric Care & Home Care; and Summer Infant for Baby Care & Family Care. Many of these companies are smaller than PG, explaining the high P/E ratios, so like the Constant Dividend Growth Model this margin of safety is not precise enough in and of itself to warrant investment. The margin is also grossly conservative as it deducts all liabilities from the combined value of the segments instead of just corporate debts, pension liabilities, etc. It does, however, indicate that the sum of PGs parts is greater than the market value of its whole.
24
The top three valuations were calculated using data from the 2012 Pro Forma Income Statement above multiplied by 5 year average multiples where available. The Pessimistic assumption has a probability of 25% instead of the customary 20% to reflect our slightly-more-bearish-than-normal outlook. For EV/EBITDA most data was again taken from the 2012 Pro Forma Income Statement where available. EV was calculated backwards using historical EV/EBITDA multiples. Cash & ST, Total Debt, Prfd Equity, and Minority Interest were all lifted from the most recent quarterly report with Market Cap calculated according to predicted shares outstanding. Each valuation price is weighted evenly to produce a target price of $72.77 which provides a 15.45% margin of safety and an expected return of 18.99% with the expected dividend.
Technical Analysis33,34
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands show how a stock is trading compared to its recent range, in this case 10 days. In three of the pictured four dividend payments, including the most recent one, PG immediately fell to the lower end of this band, indicating that recent price trends probably have more to do with historical trading activity than anything else. Nevertheless, PG is still subject to the same market swings in reaction to news from Greece and Europe regarding the global economy.

Below the volume chart is the Moving Average Convergence / Divergence indicator (MACD), which shows changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stocks price. According to Wikipedia, the MACD is a computation of the difference between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) of closing prices. This difference is charted over time, alongside a moving average of the difference. In the chart shown, the two EMAs are for 15 and 30 day periods, respectively.
Simple Moving Averages are another way to analyze trading trends. The two shown are for 20 and 50 day averages. Generally if the price of a stock rises above its SMA people believe it will continue to rise and vice versa until the SMA changes direction. However, this is a lagging indicator, meaning that it tries to do exactly what all investment professionals have a liability disclaimer for: use past results to guarantee future performance. In summary, PGs stock may be experiencing a slight hiccup, but no more than it normally does after dividend payments, and will most likely continue its long-term upward trend.
Conclusion
We recommend buying 1,100 shares of Procter & Gamble at a Net Asset Value $69,333. Steady sales stemming from a healthy amount of international exposure and growth, 24 brands each with over $1B in annual revenue, product lines covering multiple price tiers to ensure strong demand in all economic climates, and leadership in innovation make PG a great company. Furthermore, its low beta, downright impressive dividend payouts, and valuation metrics make it an attractive stock in these uncertain times. 26
