Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business Segment Information | Segment Reporting The Company's continuing operations are organized into two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America ("NA") and International Personal Care ("IPC"). These segments differ from those used in prior periods due to changes to our reportable segments effective in the fourth quarter of 2024 (refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details) and the following changes effective in the second quarter of 2025: IFP Transaction As a result of the IFP Transaction discussed in Notes 1 and 3, the results of operations and applicable assets and liabilities of the IFP Business are reported as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements and are excluded from segment results for all periods presented. This includes certain costs that were previously allocated to the IPC segment that relate to assets or activities that are part of the IFP Transaction. These costs have been removed from the results of the IPC segment and are reported as discontinued operations. Additionally, certain operations and commercial activities of the former IFP segment retained by K-C are now reported in the NA and IPC segments. Corporate and Other Corporate and Other was updated for all periods presented to include the following: •Operations of the former IFP segment that were divested prior to the IFP Transaction and therefore not reported as discontinued operations. •Costs previously allocated to the former IFP segment that are not directly attributable to the operations included in the IFP Transaction and therefore are not reported as discontinued operations. The reportable segments were determined in accordance with how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), develops and executes global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses. The primary measure of segment profitability utilized by our CODM is segment operating profit. Our CODM uses this measure to assess the operating results and performance of our segments, perform analytical comparisons to budget and allocate resources to each segment. Segment operating profit excludes Corporate & Other, which primarily encompasses certain unallocated general corporate expenses, impairment charges, one-time (gains) or losses associated with acquisitions and divestitures, costs related to our reorganization activities that are not associated with the ongoing operations of the segments, 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. Our CODM does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources. Therefore, we do not disclose assets by segment. The principal sources of revenue in each segment are described below: •North America consists of products encompassing each of our five global daily-need categories across consumer and professional channels including disposable diapers, training and youth pants, swimpants, baby wipes, feminine and incontinence care products, reusable underwear, facial and bathroom tissue, paper towels, napkins, wipers, tissue, towels, soaps and sanitizers and other related products. These products are sold under the Huggies, Pull-Ups, GoodNites, Kotex, Poise, Depend, Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva, Wypall and other brand names. •International Personal Care consists of three core categories — Baby & Child Care, Adult Care and Feminine Care, including disposable diapers, training and youth pants, swimpants, baby wipes, feminine and incontinence care products, reusable underwear and other related products. These products are sold under the Huggies, Kotex, Goodfeel, Intimus, Depend and other brand names. The tables below present net sales and the significant expense categories that are included in Segment Operating Profit and regularly provided to our CODM:
