Consolidated net sales increased 9.1 percent from 2006. Sales volumes rose 4 percent, driven by growth in
the personal care and K-C Professional & Other segments. Net selling prices increased 1 percent primarily on
higher net selling prices for consumer tissue. Favorable currency effects, primarily in Europe, Australia and
Brazil, and improved product mix added about 3 percent and 1 percent, respectively, to the increase.
