Kimberly-Clark beat forecasts with quarterly net sales that inched up to $4.6 billion, thanks to its paper-based line of products.

In total, the CPG manufacturer’s consumer tissue segment, which includes brands such as Kleenex, Viva and Scott, increased 12% to $1.6 billion for the three months ending June 30.
