P&G is a U.S. company, so it converts revenues earned in foreign markets into dollars. In 2022, currencies are volatile and highly volatile. Due to the difference in exchange rates, the company's profits may not show active growth in the near future.
P&G's fiscal year does not coincide with its calendar year. For example, October 2022 marked the end of the first quarter of 2023 for the consumer products manufacturer. During that period, the corporation increased organic sales by 7%. This increase came after P&G's fiscal year 2022 sales growth of 5%.
Despite the increase in sales revenue, volume sold decreased 3% during the quarter. This is due to higher product prices, which the corporation actively applied in the second half of 2022.

However, analysts note that consumers have been less willing to accept price increases recently, so P&G management expects less growth in organic sales in the near future.
