Colgate-Palmolive Company Unveils New Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste Colgate Optic White announced the launch of its latest innovation, the NEW Colgate Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste. As an evolution of the original formula, it is clinically proven to achieve visibly whiter teeth in just three days. Powered by Hydrogen Peroxide Complex, Colgate's unique formulation of hydrogen peroxide, this toothpaste dissolves 15 years of deep-set stains when brushing twice daily for two weeks. The Colgate Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste is designed to remove both surface-level and deep-set stains – reaching where your toothbrush can't and whitening teeth from the inside out. Surface-level stains are discolorations found on the outer layer of the tooth enamel, while deep-set stains are deeper discolorations within the tooth structure that are traditionally harder to remove. Colgate's Dual Whitening Technology combines the power of micropolishers, which brush away surface stains and help prevent new ones from forming, with Hydrogen Peroxide Complex, which gently dissolves stains below the surface of teeth. With this technology, the formula is specifically engineered to break down stubborn stains that build up over time from daily habits, such as those caused by coffee, tea, and wine. With the introduction of Colgate's proprietary ActivShine Technology, which enhances the brightening and polishing power of the formula, this toothpaste reveals a next-level shine and leaves teeth feeling cleaner and smoother. The new and improved Colgate Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste offers the highest level of hydrogen peroxide in the line at 5%, which starts whitening after the first brush. Designed for no sensitivity and daily use, the enamel safe formula offers an effective whitening solution, all from the comfort of your own home. The NEW Colgate Optic White Pro Series Toothpaste is available now at retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Amazon, and CVS, with an MSRP of $9.99 for a 3 oz. tube. It will be available in three mint flavors and four variants, including Express White, Enamel Renewal, Vibrant Clean, and High Impact White. Board Change • Mar 02

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €3.7m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (1,806% net debt to equity). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses.
