Kenvue experienced a decline in net sales and organic sales in Q2 2025, primarily due to unfavorable value realization and volume decline. Despite this, the company reported a substantial increase in net income and diluted EPS compared to the prior year, largely due to the absence of significant asset impairment charges that affected the previous year's results. Gross profit margin and adjusted gross profit margin contracted, while operating income margin saw a significant improvement.
Net sales decreased by 4.0% to $3,839 million, primarily driven by a 4.2% organic sales decline.

Gross profit margin contracted to 58.9% and Adjusted gross profit margin declined to 60.9%, impacted by unfavorable mix, inflationary pressures, and strategic price investments.
