Procter & Gamble experienced strong revenue growth during the first nine months of 2023.

Overview
The financial statements indicate a healthy overall performance for Procter & Gamble in the first nine months of 2023. Despite facing headwinds such as rising costs and supply chain disruptions, the company managed to achieve significant revenue growth and maintain a strong net income.
P&G's operating income for the period was $13.97 billion, slightly lower than the $14.22 billion recorded in the previous year.
