    Poor deej has no idea how this stuff works and unfortunately his "news" source lies to him.

    Procter & Gamble Co’s (PG.N) quarterly revenue and adjusted profit beat Wall Street expectations on Tuesday, sending shares to a record-high

    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.

    It doesn't need to hurt them for it to be a failure. If you launch a controversial (and fucking retarded) ad campaign, its supposed to HELP you.

    How many people bought more gillette because of it?
    Zero you say? Wow what a great ad campaign!

    I'm sure they only spent a hundred million on that Ad campaign. According to Scotty hemorrhaging cash, especially cash spent on a shitty Ad campaigns that turns off some of your customer base is a good thing.

    Yes, if you're a fucking moron who thinks Gillette did great this past quarter you'd probably think that.

    A write-down is performed in accounting to reduce the value of an asset to offset a loss or expense. A write-down becomes a write-off if the entire balance of the asset is eliminated and removed from the books altogether

    Next time you can fly speck my spelling Scott.

    This thread is a case study in stupidity. Gillette probably lost money on their ill advised "feminism" campaign. But anyone who thinks that played anything more than a negligible role in an $8B goodwill impairment is financially illiterate.

    This is the most pub we've ever given a @DJDuck post, and we should all be ashamed.

    Look at Scotty the stupid fucking Kunt give this an up arrow when he started this thread claiming that Gillette is doing great.

    Their shitty campaign played a role in them losing sales. How big? I don't know but something tells me that if they could ask for a do over on that Ad Campaign they'd do it.

    Funny how someone just knows the reasons for a financial loss without any evidence. Maybe you can predict the Presidential Race. I’m not eluding to the fact this is the only reason but it sure greased the skids at least. You don’t know anything more than I do or the man on the street. I will bet that anyone talking about this at least references this Einstein.

    Gillette is facing a lot of competition. Insulting your customers is not smart.

    The reason they ran this add is because they thought it would appeal to millennials.

    So basically they thought it would increase their sales but there was no thought that it would decrease sale like some of the know it alls here.😂😂

    The evidence for their write down is right in the earnings announcement...or as Deej would label it "without any evidence." The skids were greased in 2011 when dollar shave club and then later Harry's came in and undercut them losing a ton of money in the process in order to acquire market share along with the shaving market shrinking overall by 11%.

    Wow, it's almost as if a parent company can't being doing well despite one under-performing area of their entire business.

    “While competition against upstart razor companies such as Harry’s and Dollar Shave Club have contributed to the decline of the more traditional Gillette, it cannot be ignored that the company’s embracing of more controversial and “progressive” stance in their recent ad campaigns was also a factor.”
