Key performance indicators

We have several enterprise metrics monitoring performance across the business, from which we select our key performance indicators.


Financial

Organic revenue growth1,2

Measures the strength of our existing portfolio.

Organic operating profit growth1

Our adjusted operating profit is an important indicator of the strength of our business model.

Free cash flow1
 

Provides the business with capacity to invest in the business, pay down debt and make shareholder returns.

Adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth1

Drives value-creating behaviours and captures excess cash returned to shareholders via share buy-backs, which in turn increase total shareholder returns.


Business gained/maintained shared

The attractiveness of our products is key for all our stakeholders, giving them confidence in our ability to increase household penetration and capitalise on new and emerging opportunities.


1 Organic revenue growth, Organic operating profit growth, Net Debt, Adjusted diluted earnings per share growth and Free cash flow are non-IFRS measures. Definitions and calculations of non-IFRS measures can be found from page 43 in the Annual Report 2024.

1  2024 reporting period is 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2024. Where actual data on initiatives contributing to the goal has not been accessible, extrapolations have been applied in a conservative manner to determine indicative results.

2  2024 reporting period is 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2024. The baseline is 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020.

3  2024 reporting period = 1 July 2023 – 30 June 2024.

4  Recycle-ready means product packaging and devices that are made of materials that are proven to be compatible with existing or emerging recycling infrastructure. In line with the CDP definition of ‘technical recyclability’ this does not take into account whether the collection, sorting, and recycling of the packaging or device happens in practice, at scale, and with reasonable economics.

5  Scope includes Haleon’s globally managed spend on key materials that are agricultural, forest, or marine-derived. Globally managed spend covers the majority of our internal spend and expands across some of our third-party manufacturing network.
