This strength is partially offset by Clorox's lack of geographic diversity, and its pressured operating margins in recent years due to continued commodity cost increases. Pressures from rising commodity cost, particularly resin and agricultural commodities, have challenged operating performance. Clorox's sales increased 6.2% in the 12 months ended March 31, 2008, through new product introductions and extensions. However, commodity cost increases resulted in lease-adjusted operating margins declining to 23.1% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2008, from 23.7% for the comparable period in 2007.
