Direct Answer
Colgate-Palmolive reports revenue across 2 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Oral Personal and Home Care is the largest, with $15.8 billion of revenue (77% of the total), followed by Pet Nutrition at $4.6 billion (23%).
How Does Colgate-Palmolive Make Money?
Oral Personal and Home Care supplies 77% of revenue, so Colgate-Palmolive's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Pet Nutrition grew fastest (+2.9%) and Oral Personal and Home Care slowest (+1.0%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Pet Nutrition while that gap lasts.
| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral Personal and Home Care | $15.8 billion | $15.6 billion | 77.4% | 1.0% |
| Pet Nutrition | $4.6 billion | $4.5 billion | 22.6% | 2.9% |
Which Colgate-Palmolive Segments Earn the Most?
| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
|---|---|---|
| Oral Personal and Home Care | $4.0 billion | 25.1% |
| Pet Nutrition | $1.1 billion | 23.1% |
Segment operating income is the profit measure Colgate-Palmolive reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within Colgate-Palmolive more safely than against another company.
What the Segment Figures Do Not Show
The rows above add up to 100% of Colgate-Palmolive's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.
Where These Numbers Come From
Every figure on this page is a value Colgate-Palmolive reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 23, 2026 (accession 0000021665-26-000006), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.
Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
