# Kimberly-Clark: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Kimberly-Clark reports revenue across 2 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. North America NA is the largest, with $10.8 billion of revenue (65% of the total), followed by International Personal Care IPC at $5.7 billion (35%).

## How Does Kimberly-Clark Make Money?

North America NA supplies 65% of revenue, so Kimberly-Clark's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, International Personal Care IPC grew fastest (-0.9%) and North America NA slowest (-2.4%), so the revenue mix tilts toward International Personal Care IPC while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| North America NA | $10.8 billion | $11.0 billion | 65.4% | -2.4% |
| International Personal Care IPC | $5.7 billion | $5.7 billion | 34.6% | -0.9% |

## Which Kimberly-Clark Segments Earn the Most?

| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| North America NA | $2.6 billion | 23.7% |
| International Personal Care IPC | $796 million | 14.0% |

Segment operating income is the profit measure Kimberly-Clark 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 Kimberly-Clark more safely than against another company.

## What Does Kimberly-Clark Sell?

Kimberly-Clark also breaks revenue down by product and service line, which shows what customers pay for rather than how management organizes the business.

| Product or service | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Babyandchildcareproducts | $6.8 billion | $7.1 billion | 41.2% | -4.0% |
| Family Care | $4.1 billion | $3.9 billion | 24.7% | 3.3% |
| Adult Care Products | $1.9 billion | $1.9 billion | 11.8% | 4.5% |
| Professional | $1.8 billion | $2.2 billion | 11.2% | -14.5% |
| Feminine Care Products | $1.7 billion | $1.7 billion | 10.4% | -0.9% |
| All Other | $124 million | $84 million | 0.8% | 47.6% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Kimberly-Clark'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 Kimberly-Clark reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 12, 2026 (accession 0001628280-26-007567), 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.
