beat out the analysts. Jon R. Moeller, Procter & Gamble's chief financial officer, went over the Q4 results on CNBC's Squawk Box on Thursday morning. "We just completed our fiscal year.

With expectations set for a revenue of $20.55 billion and EPS at $0.77 excluding certain items, the Q4 EPS of $0.79 and revenue of $20.7 billion is a nice win for the company to report.

We're ahead of most of our productivity goals," said Moeller. "We've reduced the size of the organization by about 7,000 people over the last 18 months, and it's starting to come through in the bottom line. We over delivered each of the last four quarters in terms of earnings per share, largely driven by that productivity."
