Procter & Gamble on Friday reported weaker-than-expected revenue as lower demand in China again weighed on its sales.

Shares of the company were flat in premarket trading.

Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG:

  • Earnings per share: $1.93 adjusted vs. $1.90 expected
  • Revenue: $21.74 billion vs. $21.91 billion expected

P&G reported fiscal first-quarter net income attributable to the company of $3.96 billion, or $1.61 per share, down from $4.52 billion, or $1.83 per share, a year earlier.

Excluding restructuring charges and other items, the company earned $1.93 per share.

Net sales dropped 1% to $21.71 billion.
