PR Newswire (US) Coach Prime encourages men to get their annual physicals and shares words of encouragement as the new face of Depend Real Fit® packagingCHICAGO, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This Men's Health Month, Depend®, the #1 brand of absorbent underwear, and Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders are encouraging men to take a proactive approach to their health with "Depend Wake Up Calls" – reminding Men to stop putting off regular checkups and screenings. Now through the end of the month, consumers can sign up to receive a video message from Coach Prime, delivered in his signature motivational style and centered on accountability, preparation, and confidence.By visiting DependWakeUpCall.com, consumers can choose from one of three video text messages encouraging them to schedule a physical, supporting those navigating a recent health diagnosis, or empowering those experiencing bladder leaks to move past embarrassment and get back to living life.After publicly sharing his bladder cancer diagnosis and recovery journey, Coach Prime knows firsthand how critical early detection can be. Together, Depend and Coach Prime are urging men to stop delaying care and take action on their health. This partnership builds on Coach Prime's longstanding relationship with Depend as someone who personally relies on the brand after undergoing bladder removal surgery following his bladder cancer diagnosis in 2025."Too many men keep putting their health on pause and that's a losing game," said Deion Sanders. "Together with Depend, I'm encouraging you to stop waiting, stop the excuses and take control now. You don't always need a doctor to light that fire - sometimes you need a coach to push you to be your best."The campaign coincides with the nationwide rollout of new Depend Real Fit® packaging featuring Coach Prime on pack for the first time ever. By bringing his signature swagger straight to the package, Coach Prime boldly shows how actively managing health challenges head-on is a point of pride, not something to hide.Bladder leaks affect millions of Americans, yet many people suffer in silence, letting stigma stand in the way of solutions. Together, Depend and Coach Prime are working to change that narrative - shifting the conversation from embarrassment to empowerment."Coach Prime is a powerful partner for Depend because he embodies unapologetic confidence and authenticity," said Katie Moran, North America President of Adult and Feminine Care. "Together, we're working to break the stigma around bladder leaks by bringing this very real experience into the open and empowering people to move past embarrassment, reclaim their confidence and get back to living life to the fullest every day."For more information about bladder health and how Depend is helping shift the conversation, visit depend.com or follow Depend on social media.About Kimberly-Clark

PR Newswire (US) In the news release, Huggies® Launches "Natural Born Fighters" to Celebrate the Strength and Spirit of NICU Babies and Families, and the Care that Supports Their Fight, issued 06-May-2026 by Kimberly-Clark Corporation over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that changes have been made. The complete, corrected release follows, with additional details at the end: Huggies® Launches "Natural Born Fighters" to Celebrate the Strength and Spirit of NICU Babies and Families, and the Care that Supports Their Fight The new campaign features reigning football champion and starting linebacker Derick Hall, gold medal swimmer Allison Schmitt and others to help the world see NICU babies as the fighters they areCHICAGO, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huggies® today announced the launch of Natural Born Fighters, a new campaign recognizing the strength of NICU babies and supporting the families, nurses and caregivers who fight alongside them. Grounded in the belief that every baby deserves care designed for their unique needs, the campaign builds on a powerful truth: while some see NICU babies as fragile, Huggies sees them as Little Fighters.Natural Born Fighters encourages the world to celebrate NICU Little Fighters and to join the fight at huggies.com/littlefighters. At the heart of the campaign is the story of Stacy Gooden-Crandle and her son, Derick Hall. Born at 23 weeks and weighing just 2 pounds, 9 ounces, Derick was given a 1% chance of survival. Despite the uncertainty of his earliest days, Stacy never stopped seeing her son as a fighter. Today, Derick is a reigning football champion and starting linebacker, and his story serves as a powerful reminder that strength can start in the earliest moments of life.What to know about Huggies Natural Born Fighters: The campaign recognizes NICU babies as Little Fighters: Huggies is helping more people see NICU babies not only as fragile, but as strong, resilient fighters from the very beginning.The campaign is rooted in a real NICU story: Derick Hall's story began in the NICU, and his mother, Stacy Gooden-Crandle, is helping share their family's journey to support other NICU families.Huggies supports NICU babies through specialized care: Huggies partnered with NICU nurses and therapists to design two sizes of preemie diapers, tailored to the unique needs of the tiniest babies.

The campaign launches with a film that celebrates NICU babies as fighters whose stories begin with extraordinary resilience.

Together, these stories reinforce the campaign's central message: NICU babies are not defined by how small they are, but by how powerfully they fight from the very beginning."This campaign is personal to me because being a natural born fighter is part of my story and I grew up knowing that I started life fighting from day one, overcoming the odds with just a one percent chance of survival," said Derick Hall. "Partnering with Huggies is a natural choice for me because their care for NICU babies and their families is real, not only designing diapers to meet Little Fighters' needs in the NICU, but also elevating stories like mine and giving back to a community that means so much to me. I'm honored to help shine a light on the strength, resilience, and incredible potential of these tiny warriors.""When your baby is in the NICU, every moment is filled with uncertainty and you learn to cling to progress, hope, and every small victory," said Stacy Gooden-Crandle, Derick's mom. "That's why being featured in Natural Born Fighters means so much to me, because Huggies understands the strength of NICU babies and the journey their families are on. Together we're helping elevate powerful stories like Derick's—so the world can see just how resilient, courageous, and strong these Little Fighters truly are."The launch of Natural Born Fighters comes at a meaningful moment, leading into Mother's Day on May 10 and National Nurses Week, May 6 through 12, recognizing both the strength of NICU moms and the dedication of the nurses and caregivers who support babies during their most vulnerable days.How Huggies Supports NICU Little Fighters

Kimberly-Clark Announces First Quarter 2026 Results, Reaffirms 2026 OutlookApril 28, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Delivers solid volume-plus-mix performance fueled by consumer-inspired innovation and strong in-market executionDALLAS, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimberly-Clark Corporation (Nasdaq: KMB) today reported first quarter 2026 results driven by resilient consumer demand for the company's brands, the introduction of pioneering innovative new products, and leveraging sustained, industry-leading productivity."Our first quarter results highlight the strength and resilience of the growth engine we've built through Powering Care," said Kimberly-Clark Chairman and CEO Mike Hsu. "We continued to deliver solid volume-plus-mix performance while building share momentum despite continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. We accomplished this by driving consumer-inspired innovation, growing brand love, and executing exceptionally well as a team. Simultaneously, we continue to generate meaningful cost savings that reinforce our strong financial foundation and enable us to invest in our exciting future."Hsu continued, "With our core business gaining momentum and one of the strongest innovation and commercial activation lineups in our history set to launch in the second quarter, we're preparing Kimberly-Clark to unlock the unique, generational value creation opportunity ahead with the acquisition of Kenvue. We have industry-leading momentum thanks to our teams around the world, and we're excited to accelerate into our next chapter and build a company unlike any other in our industry today."Quarter HighlightsUnless otherwise noted, reported results in this release are based on continuing operations and exclude the International Family Care and Professional ("IFP") business, which is reported as discontinued operations.Delivered net sales of $4.2 billion, up 2.7 percent, with organic sales growth of 2.5 percent.Gross margin was 36.8 percent; adjusted gross margin was 37.9 percent, down 60 basis points versus the prior year.Operating profit for the quarter was $753 million, while adjusted operating profit was $732 million, up 3.7 percent versus the prior year driven by strong productivity savings, lower marketing, research and general expenses reflecting overhead savings, and favorable currency translation.Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations were $1.70; adjusted EPS from continuing operations were $1.60, down 1.2 percent versus the prior year.Diluted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark were $2.00; adjusted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark were $1.97, up 2.1 percent versus the prior year.First Quarter 2026 ResultsNet sales of $4.2 billion increased 2.7 percent, as organic sales growth of 2.5 percent and favorable currency impacts of 2.0 percent were partially offset by a 1.8 percent decline from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US. Organic sales growth was driven by volume-plus-mix growth of 3.0 percent, partially offset by lower pricing of 0.5 percent to drive trial of new products and enhance value propositions.Gross margin was 36.8 percent compared to 37.2 percent in the prior year, inclusive of $42 million, or 110 basis points, and $53 million, or approximately 130 basis points, respectively, of charges related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative. Excluding these charges, adjusted gross margin was 37.9 percent, a decrease of 60 basis points versus the prior year as strong productivity savings were more than offset by unfavorable pricing net of cost inflation, reflecting planned investments to drive new product trial and improve price:value tiers across the portfolio, and supply chain related investments.First quarter operating profit was $753 million compared to $631 million in the prior year. Current quarter results included a $120 million benefit related to the settlement of insurance claims from a previous acquisition, and $99 million of charges related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative and Kenvue acquisition. Prior year results included $75 million of charges related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative. Excluding these items, adjusted operating profit was $732 million compared to $706 million, an increase of 3.7 percent driven by strong productivity savings, lower marketing, research and general expenses, and favorable currency translation.Net interest expense was $53 million versus $57 million in the prior year primarily driven by lower interest expense.The first quarter effective tax rate was 23.9 percent, compared to 23.5 percent in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, the effective rate was 26.2 percent compared to 20.7 percent in the prior year, primarily reflecting discrete unfavorable factors in the current year compared to discrete tax benefits in the first quarter of 2025 related to the resolution of certain tax matters as well as a change in the US tax law effective July 2025.Net income of equity companies was $53 million compared to $44 million in the prior year driven primarily by favorable currency translation.Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes was $101 million, inclusive of pre-tax separation costs of $32 million, compared to $103 million in the prior year. Adjusted income from discontinued operations was $125 million compared to $103 million in the prior year, an increase of 21.4 percent primarily driven by lower depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $30 million in the current year due to reporting requirements for discontinued operations.Diluted EPS from continuing operations were $1.70 compared to $1.39 in the prior year. These reported amounts are inclusive of a $0.10 net benefit and $0.23 of charges, respectively, for the certain items discussed above that management doesn't believe reflect our underlying and ongoing operations. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations were $1.60, a decline of 1.2 percent primarily due to the higher adjusted effective tax rate discussed above.Diluted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark in the quarter were $2.00 compared to $1.70 in the prior year. These reported amounts are inclusive of $0.03 of net benefit and $0.23 of charges, respectively, for certain items discussed above that management doesn't believe reflect our underlying and ongoing operations. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS attributable to Kimberly-Clark were $1.97, up 2.1 percent driven by higher adjusted operating profit and income from discontinued operations, partially offset by a higher adjusted effective tax rate.Business Segment Results

(a)Total may not sum across due to rounding.(b)Represents the change in net sales excluding the impacts of currency translation and divestitures and business exits.
Organic Sales Growth is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Summary of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for
reconciliations of our GAAP to non-GAAP measures.(c)Impact of the exit of the Company's private label diaper business in the United States and other exited businesses and
markets in conjunction with the 2024 Transformation Initiative.North America ("NA")Net sales of $2.7 billion decreased 0.6 percent in the quarter, driven by a 2.7 percent impact from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US that was partially offset by solid, underlying organic net sales growth. Organic sales increased 1.8 percent primarily driven by broad-based volume growth reflecting the strength of innovations and activations in the quarter.Operating profit of $623 million decreased 8.1 percent driven by a 490 basis point headwind from business exits and higher advertising investments that were partially offset by strong productivity savings.International Personal Care ("IPC")Net sales of $1.5 billion increased 9.1 percent driven by organic sales growth of 4.0 percent and favorable currency impacts. Organic sales benefitted from strong volume-led growth of 4.1 percent and enhanced portfolio mix of 1.4 percent that reflected improvements in consumer value propositions across the portfolio, partially offset by price investments of 1.5 percent.Operating profit of $245 million increased 21.9 percent reflecting volume- and mix-led gains, strong productivity savings, favorable currency impacts, and lower overhead costs that were partially offset by investments in price:value tiers resulting in negative pricing net of cost inflation.Cash Flow and Balance SheetCash provided by operations (inclusive of discontinued operations) was $745 million compared to $327 million last year. Year-to-date capital spending was $424 million compared to $204 million last year. The company returned $418 million to shareholders through dividends. Total debt was $7.1 billion as of March 31, 2026, down from $7.2 billion as of December 31, 2025.2026 OutlookConsistent with the Company's long term growth algorithm, it continues to expect 2026 Organic Sales Growth to grow in line to ahead of the weighted average growth in the categories and countries it competes, which for the latest twelve months grew at approximately two-and-a-half percent. Reported Net Sales are forecast to reflect a negative impact of 50 basis points from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US and an approximately 50 basis points favorable impact from currency translation. Adjusted Operating Profit is expected to grow at a mid-to-high single-digit rate on a constant-currency basis. Adjusted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations are expected to grow at a double-digit rate on a constant-currency basis driven by an approximately 40 percent increase in income from equity companies versus 2025, expectations of flat net interest expense, an Adjusted Effective Tax Rate of approximately 23 percent, and average shares outstanding essentially unchanged versus 2025. Adjusted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Kimberly-Clark are expected to be flat on a constant-currency basis reflecting a reduction in Income from Discontinued Operations in line with the expected close of the IFP transaction in mid-2026, the proceeds from which will be held to fund, in part, the Kenvue acquisition. Earnings Per Share are expected to be favorably impacted by currency translation of approximately 170 basis points.This outlook reflects assumptions subject to change given the macro environment.Supplemental Materials and Live WebcastSupplemental materials will be available at approximately 6:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time in the Investor Relations section of the Kimberly-Clark website.

There can be no assurance that these future events will occur as anticipated or that our results will be as estimated. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update them.The assumptions used as a basis for the forward-looking statements include many estimates that, among other things, depend on the successful completion of the mergers with Kenvue and the achievement of future cost savings and projected volume increases. In addition, many factors outside our control, including risks and uncertainties around the pending mergers with Kenvue (including the risk that the anticipated benefits and synergies of the mergers may not be realized when expected or at all, the terms and scope of the expected financing in connection with the mergers may prove to be less favorable than currently expected, that the mergers may not be completed in a timely manner or at all and the risk of litigation related to the mergers), the pending IFP Transaction (including risks related to delays or failure to complete the proposed transaction, the incurrence of significant transaction and separation costs, adverse market reactions, regulatory or legal challenges, and operational disruptions), risks that we are not able to realize the anticipated benefits of the 2024 Transformation Initiative (including risks related to disruptions to our business or operations or related to any delays in implementation), war in Ukraine (including the related responses of consumers, customers, and suppliers and sanctions issued by the U.S., the European Union, Russia or other countries), government trade or similar regulatory actions (including current and potential trade and tariff actions affecting the countries where we operate and the resulting negative impacts on our supply chain, commodity costs, and consumer spending), pandemics, epidemics, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the prices and availability of our raw materials, supply chain disruptions, disruptions in the capital and credit markets, counterparty defaults (including customers, suppliers and financial institutions with which we do business), failure to realize the expected benefits or synergies from our acquisition and disposition activity, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and our projections of operating results and other factors that may affect our impairment testing, changes in customer preferences, severe weather conditions, regional instabilities and hostilities (including the war in Iran), potential competitive pressures on selling prices for our products, energy costs, general economic and political conditions globally and in the markets in which we do business, as well as our ability to maintain key customer relationships, could affect the realization of these estimates.The factors described under Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, or in our other SEC filings, among others, could cause our future results to differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Other factors not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial could also affect our business operations and financial results. KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATIONCONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME(Millions, except per share amounts)(Unaudited)

(a)Segment Operating Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure as it excludes certain
results included within Corporate & Other, as discussed below. Refer to "Summary
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of how we utilize
non-GAAP financial measures. As shown above, we have included a reconciliation
to Total Operating Profit, as determined in accordance with GAAP.(b)Corporate & Other includes income and expense not associated with the ongoing
operations of the segments, including certain operations of the former IFP
segment that were divested prior to the IFP Transaction and costs previously
allocated to the former IFP segment that aren't reported as discontinued operations. SUMMARY OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESThe following provides the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release to the most closely related GAAP measure. These measures include: Organic Sales Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Earnings per Share Attributable to Kimberly-Clark, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, and Adjusted Income from Discontinued Operations. Unless specifically stated, all discussions regarding non-GAAP financial measures reflect results from our continuing operations for all periods presented.Organic Sales Growth is defined as the change in Net Sales, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impacts of currency translation and divestitures and business exits.Adjusted Gross and Operating Profit, Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Earnings per Share Attributable to Kimberly-Clark, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, and Adjusted Income from Discontinued Operations are defined as Gross Profit, Operating Profit, Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, Diluted Earnings per Share Attributable to Kimberly-Clark, Effective Tax Rate, and Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the impacts of certain items that management believes do not reflect our underlying operations, and which are discussed in further detail below.The income tax effect of these non-GAAP items on the Company's Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Earnings per Share Attributable to Kimberly-Clark and Adjusted Income from Discontinued Operations is calculated based upon the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment. The impact of these non-GAAP items on the Company's effective tax rate represents the difference in the effective tax rate calculated with and without the non-GAAP adjustment on pre-tax income and provision for income taxes.We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that we do not believe reflect our underlying and ongoing operations. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our results. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, and they should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to the GAAP measures and by providing reconciliations of the non-GAAP and comparable GAAP financial measures. Certain non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this press release are presented on a forward-looking basis. Kimberly-Clark does not provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict certain adjustment items without unreasonable effort. Please note that these items could be material to Kimberly-Clark's results calculated in accordance with GAAP.The non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items for the relevant time periods:2024 Transformation Initiative - We initiated this transformation to create a more agile and focused operating structure that will accelerate our proprietary pipeline of innovation in right-to-win spaces and improve our growth trajectory, profitability, and returns on investment.Kenvue Acquisition - Acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with the pending Kenvue Acquisition, primarily related to external advisory, legal, accounting, and other related costs.Insurance Recovery – Settlement of insurance claims related to a previous acquisition.IFP Separation Costs - Costs incurred in connection with the IFP Transaction related to external advisory, legal, accounting, contractor and other incremental costs, and are reported in discontinued operations.The following table provides a reconciliation of Organic Sales Growth from continuing operations:

Kimberly-Clark Announces Post-Closing Organizational Structure and Identifies Key LeadershipApril 15, 2026 8:55 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Tylenol during pregnancy—>no autism association, according to Danish study published today:

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/tylenol-pregnancy-not-linked-with-autism-danish-study-finds-2026-04-13/ The use of Tylenol by women during pregnancy was not associated with autism in their children, according to results of a nationwide study in Denmark published on Monday.

Among more than 1.5 million children born between 1997 and 2022, including 31,098 exposed to Tylenol in the womb, autism was later diagnosed in 1.8% of exposed children and 3% of the unexposed group [i.e. numerically lower in the Tylenol group], Danish researchers reported in JAMA Pediatrics. The lack of an association persisted after researchers accounted for individual risk factors including the dose of the drug and the ?trimester of pregnancy in which it was used…

A 2024 Swedish study, opens new tab also found no link between autism and pregnancy use of Tylenol, a brand name for acetaminophen and paracetamol.

In September, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it was initiating the process for a label change for acetaminophen to warn that its use by pregnant women may be associated with an increased ?risk of autism and ADHD. The FDA declined to comment on the status of its planned label change. LOL re the last sentence.

In the news release, Goodnites® Launches "Language of Bedwetting," the First Complete Language Designed to Help Autistic Children Express Needs, Wants and Feelings Around Bedwetting, issued 02-Apr-2026 by Kimberly-Clark Corporation over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that changes have been made. The complete, corrected release follows, with additional details at the end:
Goodnites® Launches "Language of Bedwetting," the First Complete Language Designed to Help Autistic Children Express Needs, Wants and Feelings Around Bedwetting
Developed with a licensed speech-language pathologist and the Autism Society of America, this free
communication tool helps fill a gap in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) vocabulary,
giving non-speaking or minimally speaking individuals the vocabulary to express themselves around a
potential nightly experience.CHICAGO, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today on World Autism Awareness Day 2026, Goodnites®, the #1 Nighttime Underwear1 brand, announced the launch of the Language of Bedwetting, the first complete Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) system specifically designed to help non-verbal and Autistic children express needs, wants and feelings around bedwetting. The free, downloadable resource is now available at Goodnites.com/LanguageOfBedwetting and was developed alongside Autism advocates, parents and communication experts.







Why This Tool Was Needed: The Bedwetting Gap in Autism
Bedwetting is common and occurs in 1 in 6 kids2, but Autistic children are more often affected by bedwetting according to a study in the Pediatric Journal of Urology3. It's a sensitive topic for anyone, but it's particularly difficult for non-verbal children to explain what happened, how they feel, or what they need next. While millions of Autistic children use AAC apps to express their needs, behaviors, and feelings, one common experience lacks the specific language: bedwetting.AAC provides ways of communicating other than speaking. This includes tools like pictures, drawing, symbols, writing, speech-generating devices, and communication apps that help non-verbal or minimally speaking individuals express themselves. For many Autistic children for whom communication is difficult for, AAC is their voice.Designed to integrate seamlessly into AAC apps, the Language of Bedwetting fills that gap by introducing a comprehensive symbol system of pronouns, verbs, adjectives, nouns, and phrases. The additional vocabulary system aims to transform an isolating experience into one that non-verbal children can finally express, empowering them to share what happened, how they feel, and what they need in their own words, through their own AAC app."Goodnites is the leading nighttime underwear brand for children, and for many Autistic children, that need often lasts longer," said Dan Jackson, Vice President & General Manager at Kimberly-Clark, Child Care. "We know confidence at night goes beyond staying dry — it's also about being understood. The Language of Bedwetting helps give Autistic children the words they've never had, while giving families and caregivers the tools to support them.""When a child can't say what's happening, everything gets harder — for them and for the family," said Sydney Lima, MS, CCC-SLP, Licensed and Board-Certified Speech-Language Pathologist. "This new vocabulary set gives Autistic children the words they've been missing, while giving clinicians and caregivers a consistent, evidence-informed framework to support those conversations at home, in school, and in therapy."Key Features of the Language of Bedwetting Developed with experts: Created in collaboration with the Autism Society of America and informed by Autism advocates, parents, and communication expertsAAC compatible: Designed to work seamlessly with all AAC appsMore than 100 new symbols: A comprehensive set of symbols spanning pronouns, verbs, adjectives, nouns, and phrasesCaregiver-friendly: Simple, intuitive, and ready to implement at homeFree and immediately accessible: Available for download at no cost at Goodnites.com/LanguageOfBedwettingWho This Tool Is For
The Language of Bedwetting was designed for: Parents and primary caregivers of non-verbal or minimally verbal children who experience bedwetting Licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs) seeking to expand functional AAC vocabulary for pediatric clients Special education teachers and ABA therapists supporting communication in school and clinical settings Pediatric occupational therapists working on daily living and self-care routines Any caregiver or clinician supporting a non-verbal or minimally verbal child through the emotional and practical dimensions of bedwetting The development of this new vocabulary system reflects Goodnites' ongoing commitment to destigmatizing bedwetting and supporting children's emotional well-being through accessible, evidence-informed tools and education — and its alignment with the spirit of World Autism Awareness Day 2026. The Language of Bedwetting is available to download now at Goodnites.com/LanguageOfBedwetting. Families can download a printable AAC board to display in their child's bedroom or bathroom, or upload the symbol set directly to their preferred AAC app. The new language is designed to work seamlessly with all AAC apps.Visit Goodnites.com/LanguageOfBedwetting to see how this project was developed alongside Autism advocates, parents, and communication experts, and how a simple set of symbols can help non-verbal and Autistic children communicate about their bedwetting.Follow @goodnites on Instagram and Facebook, and @goodnitesbrand on TikTok for additional resources and updates.1Youth Pant Category Share Data

KVUE 4Q25 results—>Tylenol market-share improving:

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/kenvue-beats-quarterly-estimates-announces-job-cuts-amid-kimberly-clark-2026-02-17/

I fully expect Tylenol’s market share to return to its historical norm in due course, as more and more people come to realize that: 1) Tylenol does not have a higher risk of adverse events than any of the numerous private-label acetaminophen products; and 2) The anti-Tylenol bluster from RFJ/DJT is not supported by science.

No KVUE 4Q25 CC or 2026 guidance due to the pending merger with KMB. KVUE plans to implement a 3.5% workforce reduction prior to the merger.

Shareholders approve KMB-KVUE merger:

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kimberly-clark-and-kenvue-shareholders-overwhelmingly-approve-kimberly-clarks-acquisition-of-kenvue-302674075.html

96% of KMB voting shareholders and 99% of KVUE voting shareholders voted in favor of the deal.

KMB increases dividend for 54th consecutive year:

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kimberly-clark-declares-dividend-increase-302670325.html

The new annualized payout is $5.12 (up from $5.04). At the current share price (~$103), the new payout equates to a dividend yield of approximately 5.0%.

KMB reports 4Q25 sales—issues 2026 guidance:

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kimberly-clark-reports-strong-finish-to-second-year-of-transformation-302670526.html 2026 Guidance

• …the Company…currently expects 2026 Organic Sales Growth to grow in line to ahead of the weighted average growth in the categories and countries it competes, which for the latest year grew at approximately two percent.

• Reported Net Sales are forecast to reflect a negative impact of 50 basis points from the exit of the company's private label diaper business in the US with no meaningful impact from currency translation.

• Adjusted Operating Profit is expected to grow at a mid-to-high single-digit rate on a constant-currency basis.

• Adjusted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations [i.e. excluding KMB’s ex-US tissue business that will be contributed to the new JV with Suzano in which KMB will have a 49% stake] are expected to grow Double-Digit on a constant-currency basis…

• Adjusted Earnings Per Share attributable to Kimberly-Clark are expected to be flat on a constant-currency basis reflecting a reduction in Income from Discontinued Operations in line with the expected close of the IFP transaction in mid-2026, the proceeds from which will be held to fund, in part, the Kenvue acquisition. [2025 non-GAAP EPS was $6.12.]

• Earnings Per Share are expected to be favorably impacted by currency translation of approximately 130 basis points. 2026 guidance does not include any contribution from KVUE.

If anyone reading this board is a KMB shareholder,,, I'd like to know if you are voting up or down on the KVUE merger. TIA

Kimberly Clark $KMB Reverses After Last Week's Earnings Pop

Today, leading consumer goods company, Kimberly Clark Corp (NYSE:KMB), is reversing sharply lower on the session. The stock is trading lower by $4.23 to $126.02 a share. This past Thursday, the stock soared to new 52-week highs after reporting earnings on April 22, 2019. On that day the stock traded as high as $132.47 a share. Traders must always be cautious when stocks reverse so much of there recent gains from a break-out. Often a reversal of this magnitude could signal much more downside in the near term. Please understand, while the stock is still in an up-trend and trading above its 20 and 50-day moving averages this reversal usually signals further downside in the shares. There are several support levels coming up such as the gap fill from the April 18, 2019 close, the 50-day moving average, and the $118.00 break-out level. Out of all of these near term support Levels the $118.00 area looks the best for a solid bounce in the stock.

Consumer Staples Get Whacked, But Trade Levels Are Near

This morning, the leading consumer staples stocks are selling off sharply. Stocks such as Kimberly Clark Corp(NYSE:KMB), Procter & Gamble Co(NYSE:PG), Clorox Co(NYSE:CLX), and Colgate-Palmolive Company(NYSE:CL) remain under pressure since the opening bell. It should be noted that all of these stocks have struggled since late June. Many of these stocks are now nearing important support levels for a trade.

Kimberly Clark Corp(NYSE:KMB) is a leading consumer staple stock that is trading lower today. The stock has been selling off since June 26, 2017 when it traded as high as $134.29 a share. Since that pivot high the stock has plunged to $116.63 a share. Traders and investors should now watch the $115.00 level for major support. This is where the stock broke out in January 2017. Often, when a stock retests a break-out level it will serve as major support and be defended by the institutional money.

Eagan Avenatti, LLP Announces $500 Million Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Kimberly-Clark Over Concerns
Today : Thursday 30 October 2014

Click Here for more Kimberly Clark Charts.
Eagan Avenatti, LLP, a Southern California-based law firm, filed a class action lawsuit yesterday in the United States District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles, alleging that Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE: KMB), a global healthcare company, has committed fraud in the marketing and selling of certain of their protective medical gowns. In particular, the suit states that the company has falsely represented to the FDA, health care workers and the general public that the company’s “MICROCOOL Breathable High Performance Surgical Gowns” (the “Surgical Gowns”) are impermeable and provide protection against Ebola despite the fact that the company has known since 2013 that these gowns failed industry tests and do not meet relevant standards, thus placing healthcare professionals and patients at considerable risk for infection and serious bodily harm.

“These are extremely serious allegations and ones that we do not make lightly,” said lead attorney Michael Avenatti of Eagan Avenatti, LLP, the law firm representing the Plaintiffs. “Kimberly-Clark needs to immediately recall these gowns and come clean with the FDA, CDC, healthcare professionals and the general public. The risks associated with continued concealment of the truth are far too great.”

According to the Complaint, Kimberly-Clark has knowingly misled the medical community, regulators and the general public about the safety of the Surgical Gowns and even after learning of multiple test failures, failed to alert the FDA, healthcare professionals and patients. As stated in the Complaint, tests of numerous random samples from separate manufacturing lots showed that the gowns failed to meet the AAMI Level 4 standards, with many of the gowns experiencing catastrophic failures that allowed liquid, bacterial and viral pathogens to penetrate the gowns. Instead of recalling the gowns and disclosing the truth, the company concealed what it knew and continued promoting, marketing and selling the gowns by stating they were impermeable, even going so far as to recommend that the gowns be used when treating patients with serious infectious diseases, including Ebola.

The lawsuit seeks damages in excess of $500 million and is brought on behalf of lead Plaintiff and well respected surgeon Hrayr Shahinian, M.D., F.A.C.S., together with approximately 500,000 others similarly situated. Dr. Shahinian is an experienced skull base surgeon in California and is internationally recognized as one of the first surgeons in the world to use and pioneer endoscopic skull base surgery. He received the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Innovation Award in 2008, 2011 and 2012 for his work in the field of medical technology.

“Kimberly-Clark’s actions of concealing the truth about their Surgical Gowns and continuing to market them as impermeable is unconscionable,” said Dr. Shahinian. “This conduct has placed physicians, healthcare workers and patients at risk of being unknowingly exposed to harmful bacteria, viruses and illness, including Ebola. This is a very serious matter and deserves the immediate attention of regulators and the medical community.”
