宝洁（P&G ）CEO称公司拟收购更多国际品牌以扩展海外业务

“I’d love to buy more global brands,” McDonald said in a Sept. 2 interview at Bloomberg headquarters in New York.

麦克唐纳在纽约的布隆伯格商业新闻社总部接受采访时说”我希望收购更多的国际品牌。“

While McDonald, 57, declined to specify any brands, he said the world’s largest consumer-products company has the ability to pounce if anything comes along. P&G generated $16.1 billion in cash from operations last year.

但是57岁的麦克唐纳拒绝列举品牌的名字，他说这家世界上最大的消费品产品生产商有能力应付随之而来的一切事情。P&G在去年盈利$16.1亿。

P&G isn’t looking for specific acquisitions on the scale of its $57 billion Gillette purchase five years ago, McDonald said. If the right opportunity comes along, however, “we’ll look at anything.”

P&G没有刻意的去寻找说要收购哪个品牌，就像5年前以$57亿收购吉列一样，完全是机缘巧合。麦克唐纳说，”我们会寻找任何机会。“

“We can never plan our acquisitions,” he said. “We don’t do hostile takeovers.”

”我们从没有去计划过那些收购，“他说，“看准了就会立马行动，毫不犹豫。”

Since becoming CEO in July, 2009, McDonald has focused on boosting P&G’s operations in emerging markets such as Brazil and China. About 60 percent of the Cincinnati-based company’s revenue last year were from outside the U.S.

从2009年7月成为CEO以来，麦克唐纳着重将宝洁的业务放在开发像巴西和中国一样的新兴市场上。辛辛那提的宝洁公司有60%的收入都是来自美国以外的市场。

In its home market, the maker of Olay skin products, Pampers diapers and Tide detergent has parried private-label brands as recession-hit consumers sought cheaper products. Net income fell 12 percent last quarter as marketing costs increased, squeezing profit margins.

在美国市场，由于受到经济衰退的影响，消费者都在选择更便宜的产品。因此玉兰油，帮宝适和汰渍的制造商都避开了使用他们的自营品牌。为了挤压利润率，上个季度在营销成本增加的同时，净利润下滑了12%，

Last month P&G forecast profit for the quarter ending Sept. 30 would be as much as $1.01, excluding some items, trailing the $1.05 average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

上个月P&G预测第三季度的利润在去除一些项目后会是$1.01，比布隆伯格商业新闻社预估的平均$1.05要低。

P&G rose 22 cents on Sept. 3 to $60.29 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares are little changed this year, down 0.6 percent compared with a 0.95 percent decline for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

9月3号，P&G在纽约证券交易所涨了22分达到了$60.29。今年的股份基本没变，与标准普尔500种股票指数下降了0.95%来比，它只是下降了0.6%。

小规模收购

P&G will also look for smaller acquisitions that extend current businesses, such as its purchase this year of the Ambi Pur air freshener brand from Sara Lee Corp., which helped it expand its Febreze products from 15 to 85 countries, McDonald said.

P&G也会寻找一些小的收购来扩展现有的业务，比如今年从莎莉公司购买的Ambi Pur空气清新剂品牌，这一收购帮助宝洁将其纺必适产品从15个国家扩展到了85个国家，麦克唐纳说，

“The climate for acquisitions is good, the climate for mergers is good,” he said. “Companies are starved for growth, they’re looking for opportunities to grow.”

“现在正是收购和兼并的好时机，”他说，“公司在寻求发展，他们在寻找机会成长。”
