ASSESSMENT TASK 2 Part A – Marketing Data Analysis
Present your findings in a data table and/or graphical presentation. Also, include your analyses in the following plan, including:
(1) Sensitivity Analysis (on the option of decreasing margins by 6% section‐wide)
There was a decline in the net sales of Kimberly‐Clark, Australia in the fourth quarter of 2018. This was a decline of 1% compared to previous year 2017. Due to high fluctuations or changes in the foreign exchange currency rates the sales of Kimberly‐Clark, Australia reduced by around 4%. On the other hand, the organic sales were being increased by 3%. The net sales recorded in 2018 was $18.5 billion and was increased by around 1%. This also included the rise in the sales of organic products of the company by 1%.
The diluted net income per share for Kimberly‐Clark was estimated to be at $1.60 in 2018 compared to $1.57 in 2017. Hence, there was a slight increase in the diluted net income of the company in 2018 compared to the previous year and this is a positive indication for the company.
The full year adjusted earnings per share was $6.61 in 2018 and was up by 6% in comparison to the previous year 2017 at $6.23. According to the previous guidance of the company, the earnings budgeted was $6.80 and was an increase by $0.20 from $6.60 (Appendix 1).
In 2019, there was decline in the net sales of the company between 1% to 2%. This resulted in a negative impact due to a change of 3% - 4% in the foreign exchange rates. Further, there is an expectation that the growth in organic sales will rise by 2%. Further, the diluted net income per share in 2019 is expected to rise to $5.35 from $4.85. This net income per share consisted of expenses associated with the 2018 Global Restructuring programs. Further, the adjusted earning per share as of 2019 was estimated to be at $6.70 and was an increase by $0.20 from $6.50. This was a year-over-year growth with respect to the adjusted operating profit along with a rise in the rate of effective tax (Appendix 2).
