Q2 Earnings: Clorox reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $1.69 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $1.63 billion, according to Benzinga Pro. The household consumer products company reported adjusted earnings of $1.55 per share, beating analyst estimates of $1.41 per share.

Clorox ended the period with $290 million of cash and cash equivalents.

“We achieved better-than-expected results across sales, margin and EPS in the second quarter due to our strong demand creation plans, which also supported our share growth,” said Linda Rendle, chair and CEO of Clorox.

I am confident that we are taking the right actions to deliver strong financial performance and long-term, profitable growth.”
