Case Study: Kimberly-Clark Corporation achieves accurate daily FX exposure visibility with Kyriba's FX Balance Sheet solution

How Kimberly-Clark Gained an Accurate Picture of Its Exposure

Kimberly‑Clark, a global consumer‑products company behind brands like Huggies and Kleenex with operations in more than 175 countries, faced inconsistent, largely manual FX exposure management. Different entities used varied processes and logic and only reconciled exposures monthly, which created unwanted foreign‑exchange gains and losses reported in other income and expenses.

To address this, Kimberly‑Clark implemented Kyriba’s (FiREapps) FX Balance Sheet solution to capture exposure data daily from multiple SAP instances, standardize exposure definitions, and enable entity‑level, drill‑down analysis of day‑over‑day changes. The rollout automated exposure reporting across four SAP systems, improved monitoring and oversight of affiliate balance‑sheet programs, and delivered a data‑driven analysis of actual vs. expected FX impacts—giving treasury quicker intra‑month visibility and tighter control over FX effects on OI&E.
