New Delhi, Aug 28 (PTI) Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care Ltd (PGHH) on Wednesday reported 46.40 per cent decline in profit after tax at Rs 81.06 crore for June quarter 2024 on account of increased spending.

Total income of the Proctor & Gamble entity, which has a portfolio of Vicks in healthcare and Whisper in feminine care, was up 8.86 per cent to Rs 939.06 crore.
For the full year, PGHH's profit after tax was flat at Rs 675.02 crore as against Rs 678.14 crore in the previous year.

This sales growth was "owing to innovation, premiumization and driving category growth in the feminine hygiene category".
