Statements
Segments
US companies must disclose in their mandatory reports how revenue breaks down across business segments, regions and product lines. We read that breakdown for you straight from the annual and quarterly reports (10-K and 10-Q) of Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL). It shows which part of the business is growing — and which one is holding it back.
Revenue by business segment
| Segment | Q1 2025 | Q2 2025 | Q1 2026 | Q2 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Oral, Personal and Home Care | $3.79B 77.2% | $3.95B 77.4% | $4.13B 77.6% | $4.17B 77.7% |
| Pet Nutrition | $1.12B 22.8% | $1.16B 22.6% | $1.19B 22.4% | $1.20B 22.3% |
Large figure: segment revenue. Below it the share of revenue in that period and the change against the prior year.
| Segment | Q1 2025 | Q2 2025 | Q1 2026 | Q2 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Large figure: segment operating income. Below it the margin, that is operating income measured against the revenue of the same segment.
Operating metrics
Operating metrics are the figures a company uses to measure its own business — customer counts, stores, deliveries or the churn rate. None of them appear in the financial statements, and they often explain earlier than revenue does why revenue is moving.
| Metric | Q2 2025 | Q3 2025 | Q1 2026 | Q2 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pending talc-related lawsuits (period end) | 384 | 402 | 484 | 525 +36.7% |
| New talc-related lawsuits filed in the quarter | 62 | 49 | 74 | 84 +35.5% |
| Talc-related lawsuits resolved in the quarter | 27 | 30 | 43 | 43 +59.3% |
These metrics are not part of the financial statements; they sit in the narrative text of the filings. We read them out of the SEC filings using artificial intelligence and check every single figure against the original passage in the report; anything that is not found there verbatim is discarded.

Segment and region names are the ones the company itself uses and are shown as reported. Change and share refer to revenue.
