Over the five-year period, The Clorox Company’s revenue has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately USD 7.1 billion and 7.4 billion. While 2021 peaked at USD 7.34 billion, revenue dropped in 2022 to USD 7.11 billion, then experienced a recovery and minor fluctuations in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Gross profit mirrored this stability, despite a notable dip from USD 3.20 billion in 2021 to USD 2.55 billion in 2022, before rebounding steadily to USD 3.21 billion in 2025. An interesting point is the reported operating income, which is consistently shown as zero over all five years. This may suggest that operating earnings are being reported under a specific accounting approach or that other non-operational factors are influencing the profitability metrics, warranting further investigation. Net income, however, reveals significant volatility. It declined sharply by nearly 35% from USD 710 million in 2021 to USD 462 million in 2022, followed by an even more dramatic drop to just USD 149 million in 2023—a decline exceeding 67% year-over-year. A moderate recovery was seen in 2024 with net income rising to USD 280 million, and there was a robust rebound to USD 810 million in 2025, marking an approximate 189% leap from the previous year. Given that Clorox operates in the highly competitive consumer packaged goods industry, these swings could reflect market pressures, cost fluctuations, or changes in operational efficiencies. Overall, despite revenue stability and a gradual recovery in gross profit, the net income volatility raises questions about cost control and non-operational impacts, suggesting a need for closer scrutiny to assess long-term financial sustainability.
