42 a share, in the fiscal fourth quarter, compared with $101 million, or 81 cents, in the year-ago period. Adjusted for one-time items, the company earned $1.67 a share. FactSet consensus called for adjusted EPS of $1.17. Sales rose 12% to $2 billion, Clorox said, mostly thanks to a “favorable” price mix, which “more than offset” lower volumes. The analysts surveyed by FactSet expected sales of $1.88 billion in the quarter.
