Item 8.01. Other Events.

As part of the previously announced Strategic Growth and Productivity Program, to further optimize and leverage the operating scale and drive growth within the Europe and Africa/Eurasia regions, effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, Colgate-Palmolive Company (the “Company”) has realigned its reportable operating segments. Commencing with the Company’s financial reporting for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, the results of its Europe and Africa/Eurasia (excluding Russia and Belarus) reportable operating segments and its Skin Health business (previously within the North America reportable operating segment) will be combined to form a new Europe, Middle East and Africa reportable operating segment. In conjunction with this realignment, Russia and Belarus, which were previously reported within the Africa/Eurasia reportable operating segment, will now be reported within the Asia Pacific reportable operating segment. This reportable operating segment realignment did not impact the Company’s historical consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

For information purposes and to provide investors with historical information on a basis consistent with its new reporting structure, the Company has recast its historical geographic segment information to conform to the new reporting structure.

Attached as Exhibit 99 and incorporated by reference in this Item 8.01 are schedules containing segment information by operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2025, the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

As noted above, the segment change and supplemental disclosures discussed above have no impact on the Company’s historical consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The recast financial information contained in Exhibit 99 does not represent a restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements. The information in this Item 8.01, including Exhibit 99, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
