Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL) reported that its fourth-quarter Base Business gross profit margin decreased 250 basis points to 55.6%, including a negative 90 basis point impact from private label sales resulting from the acquisitions of pet food businesses. On a Base Business basis, EPS declined 2.5%. On a GAAP basis, EPS declined 94% year-over-year, driven by goodwill and intangible assets impairment charges related to the Filorga skin health business.
