Frequently asked questions
What is The Clorox Company's revenue?
The Clorox Company's trailing twelve-month revenue is $6.72B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is CLX?
In its most recent fiscal year, CLX ran a gross margin of 42.32%, an operating margin of 24.73%, and a net margin of 8.74%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does CLX generate?
CLX produced $405.00M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is CLX's balance sheet healthy?
CLX holds $143.00M in cash and equivalents against $3.98B in long-term debt, on $90.00M of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
