Quality

56

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 56 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

17

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 17 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Moderate

52

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 52 of 100, recorded as moderate. Stored records show 13 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 0.8% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

The Clorox Company is a leading multinational manufacturer and marketer of consumer and professional products with fiscal year 2026 net sales of $6.7 billion and about 9,200 employees worldwide as of June 30, 2026. The Company has operations in approximately 25 countries or territories and sells its products in approximately 95 markets, primarily through mass retailers; grocery outlets; warehouse clubs; dollar stores; home hardware centers; drug, pet and military stores; third-party and owned e-commerce channels; and distributors. Clorox markets some of the most trusted and recognized consumer brand names, including Clorox cleaning and disinfecting products; Pine-Sol cleaner; Liquid-Plumr clog removers; Poett home care products; Glad bags and wraps; Fresh Step cat litter; Kingsford grilling products; Hidden Valley dressings, dips, seasonings and sauces; Brita water-filtration products; and Burt’s Bees natural personal care products. The Company also markets industry-leading products and technologies for professional customers, including those sold under the Purell , CloroxPro and Clorox Healthcare brand names. Over 80% of the Company’s sales are generated from brands that hold the No. 1 or No. 2 market share positions in their categories. The Company was founded in Oakland, California, in 1913 and is incorporated in Delaware.

In April 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of GOJO, expanding its product portfolio to include the Purell brand and GOJO's health and hygiene solutions. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of GOJO, which now operates as Clorox Purell and is based in northeast Ohio. The acquisition reflects the Company's strategy to expand its position in health and hygiene and strengthens its presence in business-to-business (B2B) channels, including healthcare and other institutional markets, through an established distribution network and a large installed base of dispensing systems that drive recurring demand.

The Company's IGNITE strategy accelerates innovation in key areas of the business to drive growth and deliver value for all Company stakeholders. IGNITE focuses on four strategic choices aimed at fueling long-term, profitable growth; innovating consumer experiences; reimagining how the company and its people work; and continuously evolving the product portfolio. In addition, IGNITE's integrated approach to sustainability supports long-term value creation for the Company and its stakeholders.

Guided by its IGNITE strategy and underpinned by its enduring values, the Company remained focused on making significant investments in its strong brands, strategic digital capabilities and streamlined operating model to drive long-term value creation.
