What drove the change

In Asia, spending on fast-growing online sales channels and fierce price competition squeezed margins.
In China, rumors about the quality of sanitary products cut sales for a time, and the business was still recovering over the full year.
A valuation loss tied to India's GST tax change, impairments on some assets, and inventory adjustments from a new sales setup in Indonesia also weighed on profit.
Pet care sales grew, helped by strong demand for wet cat treats in North America.

Things to watch

If recession or inflation pushes shoppers toward cheaper products, sales and market share could fall.
Consolidation among global makers and the rise of low-cost makers in emerging markets could intensify price competition and hurt margins.
Overseas results are converted into yen, so a stronger yen could reduce reported earnings.
