    Procter & Gamble reported Tuesday that it wrote down the value of its Gillette brand by $8 billion.

    Despite Procter & Gamble’s write-down of its struggling Gillette brand, executives expressed confidence about the future of the shaving business.

    P&G reported an impairment charge of $8.0 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, resulting in a net loss of $5.24 billion. The one-time, noncash charge was to adjust the carrying values of Gillette’s goodwill and intangible assets.


    Come on Scotty, you can get that head a little further up your ass than that.

    • Executives attributed the write-down to currency devaluations and lower shaving frequency.
    • The consumer products giant has also faced increased competition from disruptors like Dollar Shave Club and Harry’s.
    It's almost like some people aren't aware that beards are popular and the shaving industry has been hit with direct to consumer disruptors.

    Blob and lying Atl to the rescue! Gillette is not as valuable today as it was in 2005 because the shaving market is shrinking and direct to consumer brands like Dollar Shave Club are undercutting them, not because some ad hurt the feelings of conservatard snowflakes. Pretty smart of P&G to write down Gillette's value to 49 billion as should set it up for success going forward which is why their stock hit a record today.

    In its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report, the company said Gillette has consistently generated “significant” earnings and cash flow and continues to be a strategic business with growth opportunities.

    The consumer products giant gave two reasons for the write-down. First, the company said that currency devaluations since the carrying values were first established in 2005 played a significant role.

    P&G’s second reason for the write-down is the market contraction of blades and razors, primarily in developed markets.

    I switched to Harry's. If you leftard pussies think that the woke campaign was good for sales then you definitely have the stupid vote wrapped up.

    So they are really doing great and the $8B write-off was a good thing and nothing more than a flesh wound, Got it. I knew you could put your head even further up your ass Scotty.
