Colgate Announces Dividend Increase <\/b>and New $5 Billion Share Repurchase Program<\/b><\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nThe Board of Directors of Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL) today increased the quarterly common stock cash dividend to $.52 up from $.50 per share. The increase will be effective in the second quarter, 2025. The Board declared that the second quarter dividend is to be paid on May 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of April 17, 2025. On an annual basis, the new dividend rate is $2.08 vs. $2.00 per share previously. The Company has paid uninterrupted dividends on its common stock since 1895.\n<\/p>\n

Share Repurchase Program<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe Board of Directors today also authorized the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate purchase price of up to $5 billion under a new share repurchase program, which replaced the Company’s previous $5 billion share repurchase program authorized in 2022. Repurchases under the new program will be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions at the Company\u2019s discretion and in accordance with requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will commence the repurchase of shares of the Company\u2019s common stock under the new program after March 20, 2025. As of January 31, 2025, the Company had approximately 812 million shares of common stock outstanding.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis dividend increase and the new share repurchase program reflect a continuation of the Company’s long history of consistently returning cash to shareholders.\n<\/p>\n
