INVESTMENT PROPOSITION

"2025 has been a strong year with performance ahead of our expectations. Core Reckitt like-for-like net revenue grew 5.2%, driven by very strong growth in Emerging Markets. Group adjusted operating profit was up 5.3%. Our Fuel for Growth programme is reducing fixed costs, supporting continued investment, capability and efficiency. We delivered another year of EPS growth and £2.3bn of returns to shareholders. Our strategy continues to deliver. We have more

work to do but our geographic footprint, portfolio of Powerbrands and focused organisational structure have strengthened our ability to deliver sustainable long-term growth. We look forward with confidence."

Kris Licht, Chief Executive Officer
