COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($ in millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Coty Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Coty”) manufacture, market, sell and distribute branded beauty products, including fragrances, color cosmetics and skin & body related products throughout the world. Coty is a global beauty company with a rich entrepreneurial history and an iconic portfolio of brands.
The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with a year-end of June 30. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word “fiscal” refers to the fiscal year ended June 30 of that year. For example, references to “fiscal 2023” refer to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term “includes” and “including” means, unless the context otherwise indicates, including without limitation.
The Company’s sales generally increase during the second fiscal quarter as a result of increased demand associated with the winter holiday season. Financial performance, working capital requirements, sales, cash flows and borrowings generally experience variability during the three to six months preceding the holiday season. Product innovations, new product launches and the size and timing of orders from the Company’s customers may also result in variability.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include the Company’s consolidated domestic and international subsidiaries. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following discussion are in millions of United States (“U.S.”) dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents funds that are not readily available for general purpose cash needs due to contractual limitations. Restricted cash is classified as a current or long-term asset based on the timing and nature of when or how the cash is expected to be used or when the restrictions are expected to lapse. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had restricted cash of $35.4 and $30.5, respectively, included in Restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Restricted cash balance as of September 30, 2022 primarily provides collateral for certain bank guarantees on rent, customs and duty accounts and also consists of collections on factored receivables that remain unremitted to the factor as of September 30, 2022. Restricted cash is included as a component of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Equity Investments
The Company elected the fair value option to account for its investment in Rainbow JVCO LTD and subsidiaries (together, "Wella" or the “Wella Company”) to align with the Company’s strategy for this investment. The fair value is updated on a quarterly basis. The investment is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the fair value of the investment using a combination of the income approach, the market approach and private transactions, when applicable. Changes in the fair value of equity investment under the fair value option are recorded in Other income, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 7—Equity Investments).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, the net realizable value of inventory, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the fair value of equity investments, the
8

Table of Content s
assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment and income taxes. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.
Tax Information
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 34.1% and 33.4%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2021, is primarily due to larger fair value gains related to the investment in Wella recorded in the prior period.
The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates, (ii) adjustments to the Company’s unrealized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and accrued interest, (iii) non-deductible expenses, (iv) audit settlements and (v) valuation allowance changes.
As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the gross amount of UTBs was $250.9 and $251.6, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the total amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate is $169.8. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, was $197.4 and $191.8, respectively, which was recorded in Income and other taxes payable and Other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to UTBs was $1.3 and $0.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 was $27.7 and $26.4, respectively. On the basis of the information available as of September 30, 2022, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $13.5 in UTBs may occur within twelve months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and a potential lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. The Company adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective method in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments, which requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease on the commencement date of the lease if specified criteria are met. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting in March 2020 and ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope in January 2021. The new guidance under these ASUs provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has not applied any of the optional expedients or exceptions allowed under these ASUs. The Company does not believe that these ASUs will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating and reportable segments (referred to as “segments”) reflect the way the Company is managed and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM")
9

Table of Content s
in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has designated its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") as the CODM.
Certain income and shared costs and the results of corporate initiatives are managed by Corporate. Corporate primarily includes stock compensation expense, restructuring and realignment costs, costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities, and impairments of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangibles that are not attributable to ongoing operating activities of the segments. Corporate costs are not used by the CODM to measure the underlying performance of the segments.
With the exception of goodwill, the Company does not identify or monitor assets by segment. The Company does not present assets by reportable segment since various assets are shared between reportable segments. The allocation of goodwill by segment is presented in Note 8—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net.

4. ACQUISITION- AND DIVESTITURE-RELATED COSTS
Acquisition-related costs, which are expensed as incurred, represent non-restructuring costs directly related to acquiring and integrating an entity, for both completed and contemplated acquisitions and can include finder’s fees, legal, accounting, valuation, other professional or consulting fees, and other internal costs, which can include compensation related expenses for dedicated internal resources. The Company recognized no acquisition-related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Divestiture-related costs, which are expensed as incurred, represent non-restructuring costs directly related to divesting and selling an entity, including partial sales, for both completed and contemplated divestitures. These costs can include legal, accounting, information technology, other professional or consulting fees and other internal costs. Internal costs can include compensation related expenses for dedicated internal resources. Additionally, for divestitures, the Company includes write-offs of assets that are no longer recoverable and contract related costs due to the divestiture. The Company recognized divestiture-related costs of $0.0 and $4.0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Divestiture-related costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily related to the strategic transaction with Rainbow UK Bidco Limited (“KKR Bidco”) (an affiliate of funds and/or separately managed accounts (“KKR Funds”) advised and/or

Transformation Plan
In connection with the four-year plan announced on July 1, 2019 to drive substantial improvement and optimization in the Company's businesses (the “Turnaround Plan”), the Company has and expects to continue to incur restructuring and related costs.

The Company estimates the discount rate based on the investees' projected cost of equity and debt. The revenue growth rate is forecasted for future years by the investee based on their best estimates. Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue growth rate in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
(b)The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's equity investments with fair value option, when using a market multiple method, are the revenue multiple and EBITDA multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue multiple or EBITDA multiple in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

On November 30, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement that established a new class of senior secured revolving credit facility of $2,000.0 maturing on April 5, 2025 (the "2021 Coty Revolving Credit Facility"), which refinanced and replaced the 2018 Coty Revolving Credit Facility due April 5, 2023 and the September 2021 Coty Revolving Credit Facility due April 5, 2025 (the "2021 Revolver Refinancing"). In connection with the November 30, 2021 amendment to the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, the Company received consent from the participating banks to eliminate the requirements to utilize or repay the Reinvestment Balance.
In October 2021 and January 2022, the Company completed the sale of certain real estate holdings, and in accordance with the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company utilized the proceeds from the sale to pay down a portion of the outstanding balances of the 2018 Coty Term A Facility and 2018 Coty Term B Facility. As a result of the October 2021 prepayments, the outstanding principal balances of the 2018 Coty Term A Facility and the U.S. dollar portion of the 2018 Coty Term B Facility were reduced by €6.2 million (approximately $7.2) and $91.9, respectively. As a result of the January 2022 prepayments, the outstanding principal balances of the euro and U.S. dollar portions of the 2018 Coty Term B Facility were reduced by €13.9 million (approximately $15.7) and $22.3, respectively.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On April 5, 2018 the Company issued, at par, $550.0 of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Dollar Notes”), €550.0 million of 4.00% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Euro Notes”) and €250.0 million of 4.75% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Euro Notes” and, together with the 2023 Euro Notes, the “Euro Notes,” and the Euro Notes together with the 2026 Dollar Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) in a private offering.
The Senior Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company and will be pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness (including the 2018 Coty Credit Facilities). The Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by the Guarantors. The Senior Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are effectively junior to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness. The related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and are effectively junior to all existing and future secured indebtedness of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
The 2026 Dollar and Euro Notes will mature on April 15, 2026. The 2026 Dollar Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per annum. The 2026 Euro Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum. Interest on the 2026 Dollar and Euro Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The Company redeemed the 2023 Euro Notes on April 15, 2022.
Upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events with respect to a series of Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all or part of the Senior Unsecured Notes of such series at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the purchase date applicable to such Senior Unsecured Notes.
The Senior Unsecured Notes contain customary covenants that place restrictions in certain circumstances on, among other things, incurrence of liens, entry into sale or leaseback transactions, sales of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and certain merger or consolidation transactions. The Senior Unsecured Notes also provide for customary events of default.
Deferred Financing Costs and Write-offs

Covenants
The 2018 Coty Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on debt, liens, dispositions, investments, fundamental changes, restricted payments and affiliate transactions. With certain exceptions as described below, the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended, includes a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined below), equal to or less than the ratios shown below for each respective test period.

Quarterly Test Period Ending |  |  | Total Net Leverage Ratio (a)
September 30, 2022 |  |  | 4.50 to 1.00
December 31, 2022 |  |  | 4.25 to 1.00
March 31, 2023 through April 5, 2025 |  |  | 4.00 to 1.00

(a) Total Net Leverage Ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of: (a) (i) Total Indebtedness minus (ii) unrestricted and Cash Equivalents of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as determined in accordance with GAAP to (b) Adjusted EBITDA for the most recently ended Test Period (each of the defined terms, including Adjusted EBITDA, used within the definition of Total Net Leverage Ratio have the meanings ascribed to them within the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended). Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended, includes certain add backs related to cost savings, unusual events such as COVID-19, operating expense reductions and future unrealized synergies subject to certain limits and conditions as specified in the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended.
In the four fiscal quarters following the closing of any Material Acquisition (as defined in the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended), including the fiscal quarter in which such Material Acquisition occurs, the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be the lesser of (i) 5.95 to 1.00 and (ii) 1.00 higher than the otherwise applicable maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio for such quarter (as set forth in the table above). Immediately after any such four fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two consecutive fiscal quarters during which the Company's Total Net Leverage Ratio is no greater than the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio that would otherwise have been required in the absence of such Material Acquisition, regardless of whether any additional Material Acquisitions are consummated during such period.

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations through its global operations. The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the cash flows associated with changes in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative instruments and also by designating foreign currency denominated borrowings and cross-currency swaps as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company expects that through hedging, any gain or loss on the derivative instruments would generally offset the expected increase or decrease in the value of the underlying forecasted transactions.
In September 2019, the Company entered into cross-currency swap contracts in the notional amount of $550.0 and designated these cross-currency swaps as hedges of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. In September 2020, the Company terminated its existing net investment cross currency swap derivatives in exchange for cash payment of $37.6. The related loss from this termination is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI/(L)”) until the sale or substantial liquidation of the underlying net investments.
As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the notional amount of the outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $25.5 and $30.0, respectively.
The Company also uses certain derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consisting primarily of foreign currency forward contracts and cross currency swaps to hedge intercompany transactions and foreign currency denominated external debt. Although these derivatives were not designated for hedge accounting, the overall objective of mitigating foreign currency exposure is the same for all derivative instruments. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded in the line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to which the derivative relates. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the notional amounts of these outstanding non-designated foreign currency forward and cross currency forward contracts were $2,645.5 and $2,403.8, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations related to its variable rate debt instruments. The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the cash flows associated with changes in the variable interest rates by entering into offsetting positions through the use of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts. The interest rate swap contracts result in recognizing a fixed interest rate for the portion of the Company’s variable rate debt that was hedged. This will reduce the negative and positive impact of increases in the variable rates over the term of the contracts. Hedge effectiveness of interest rate swap contracts is based on a long-haul hypothetical derivative methodology and includes all changes in value.
As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had interest rate swap contracts designated as effective hedges in the notional amount of $800.0. These interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and were highly effective.
Net Investment Hedge
Foreign currency gains and losses on borrowings designated as a net investment hedge, except ineffective portions, are reported in the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) component of AOCI/(L), along with the foreign currency translation

adjustments on those investments. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the nominal exposures of foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as net investment hedges were €484.4 million and €289.0 million, respectively. The designated hedge amounts were considered highly effective.
Forward Repurchase Contracts
In June 2022, the Company entered into certain forward repurchase contracts to start hedging for a potential $200.0 share buyback program in 2024. These forward repurchase contracts are accounted for at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 14—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock.
Derivative and non-derivative financial instruments which are designated as hedging instruments:
The accumulated gain on foreign currency borrowings classified as net investment hedges in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI/(L) was $36.4 and $41.7 as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
The accumulated loss on derivative instruments classified as net investment hedges in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI/(L) was $(37.6) as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022.
The amount of gains and losses recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Company’s derivative and non-derivative financial instruments which are designated as hedging instruments is presented below:

The accumulated gain on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges in AOCI/(L), net of tax, was $5.2 and $4.3 as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The estimated net gain related to these effective hedges that is expected to be reclassified from AOCI/(L) into earnings, net of tax, within the next twelve months is $6.8. As of September 30, 2022, all of the Company's remaining foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges were highly effective.

Treasury Stock
Share Repurchase Program
Since February 2014, the Board has authorized the Company to repurchase its Class A Common Stock under approved repurchase programs. On February 3, 2016, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $500.0 of its Class A Common Stock (the “Incremental Repurchase Program”). Repurchases may be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its Class A Common Stock, and general market conditions. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its Class A Common Stock under the Incremental Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had authority for $396.8 remaining under the Incremental Repurchase Program.
In June 2022, the Company entered into forward repurchase contracts (the “Forward” and together the “Forwards”) with three large financial institutions (“Counterparties”) to start hedging for a potential $200.0 share buyback program in 2024. In connection with the Forward transactions, the Company incurred certain execution fees of $2.0, which was recognized as a premium to the forward price recorded at inception and amortized ratably over the contract period.
As part of the Forward agreements, the Company will pay interest on the outstanding underlying notional amount of the Forwards held by the Counterparties during the contract period. The interest rates are variable, based on the United States secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread. The weighted average interest rate plus applicable spread was 6.8% as of September 30, 2022.
The Forward agreements with two of the Counterparties, which purchased approximately 13.7 million and 6.2 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during June and July 2022, require the Company to: (i) repurchase the shares on or before June 6, 2024 at a price based on the weighted average of the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”)
25

Table of Content s
during the initial acquisition period (“Initial Price”); or (ii) at the Company’s option, pay or receive the difference between the Final Price, defined as the weighted average of the daily VWAP during the unwind period as defined in the agreement, and Initial Price of the Forwards.
Simultaneously, the remaining Counterparty purchased approximately 7.1 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during June 2022. This Forward requires the Company to pay or receive the difference between the Final Price and Initial Price established at inception of the Forward on or before June 6, 2024.
In addition, the Forwards include a provision for a potential true-up in cash upon specified changes in the price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock relative to the Initial Price (“Hedge Valuation Adjustment”). Such Hedge Valuation Adjustment shall not result in a termination date or any adjustment of the number of Coty’s Class A Common Stock shares purchased by the Counterparties at inception.
In the event the Company declares and pays any cash dividends on its Class A Common Stock, the Forward Counterparties will be entitled to such dividend payments and payable at termination of the Forwards.
Since the Forwards permit a net cash settlement alternative in addition to the physical settlement, the Company accounted for the Forwards initially and subsequently at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Dividends
On April 29, 2020, the Board of Directors suspended the payment of dividends.
During fiscal 2020, prior to the Board’s decision to suspend the payment of dividends, the Company maintained a Stock Dividend Reinvestment Program and had registered a total of 19.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock for purchase under the program. All holders of records of Class A Common Stock had the opportunity to participate in the program; if a holder elected to participate in the program fifty percent (50%) of their cash dividends were reinvested in additional shares of Class A Common Stock.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company made a payment of $0.4, of which $0.1 related to employee taxes, for the previously accrued dividends on RSUs that vested during the three months ended September 30, 2022
Total accrued dividends on unvested RSUs and phantom units of $1.3 and $0.2 are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022.

(a) Equity plan share-based compensation expense of $31.4 and $107.8 were recorded to additional paid in capital and presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to stock options, Series A Preferred Stock, restricted stock, and restricted stock units and other share awards is $1.9, $0.0, $2.6 and $124.5, respectively. The unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to stock options, Series A Preferred stock, restricted stock, and restricted stock units and other share awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.92, 0.00, 1.17 and 1.09 years, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units and Other Share Awards
The Company granted no shares of RSUs and other share awards during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $30.7 and $106.9 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which $23.5 and $100.8, respectively, related to Ms. Nabi's award, as described below.
The Company’s CEO, Sue Nabi, was granted a one-time sign-on award of restricted stock units (the “Award”) on June 30, 2021. The Award will vest and settle in 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, on each of August 31, 2021, August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2023, subject to her continued employment through each such date. The Company will recognize the share-based compensation expense, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the fair value on the grant date. The amount of compensation cost recognized at each vesting date must at least equal the portion of the award legally vested.
In connection with this Award, Cottage Holdco B.V., the Company’s largest stockholder and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., agreed, pursuant to an equity transfer agreement, to transfer to Ms. Nabi (either directly or through contributing to the Company) 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock no later than sixty days following the first vesting date. On October 29, 2021, Cottage Holdco B.V. completed the transfer of 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to Ms. Nabi. If, however, Ms. Nabi is terminated without cause or due to death or disability on or following the first vesting date but prior to the second vesting date, the Company has agreed to issue to Cottage Holdco B.V. the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined on pro-rata basis in accordance with the equity transfer agreement. In the event Ms. Nabi remains employed through the third vesting date, Cottage Holdco B.V. has agreed to transfer an additional 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to Ms. Nabi.

(a) For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, outstanding stock options and Series A Preferred Stock with purchase or conversion rights to purchase 6.2 million and 11.4 million shares of Common Stock, respectively, were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.
(b) For the three months ended September 30, 2021, there were 5.0 million weighted average anti-dilutive RSUs excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.
(c) For the three months ended September 30, 2021, 163.1 million weighted average dilutive shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Table of Content s
(d) For the three months ended September 30, 2022, 3.1 million weighted average dilutive shares for the Forward Repurchase Contracts were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
(e) Diluted EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company's equity compensation plans, the convertible Series B Preferred Stock, and the Forward Repurchase Contracts. When calculating any potential dilutive effect of stock options, Series A Preferred Stock, restricted stock and RSUs, the Company uses the treasury method and the if-converted method for the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock and the Forward Repurchase Contracts. The treasury method typically does not adjust the net income attributable to Coty Inc., while the if-converted method requires an adjustment to reverse the impact of the preferred stock dividends of $3.3 and $123.0, and fair market value adjustments of $27.7 and $0.0, respectively, if dilutive, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 on net income applicable to common stockholders during the period.
17. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE FINANCIAL INTERESTS AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
The Company is involved, from time to time, in various litigation, administrative and other legal proceedings, including regulatory actions, incidental or related to its business, including consumer class or collective actions, personal injury (including asbestos claims related to the Company’s talc-based cosmetic products), intellectual property, competition, compliance and advertising claims litigation and disputes, among others (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”). While the Company cannot predict any final outcomes relating thereto, management believes that the outcome of current Legal Proceedings will not have a material effect upon its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of the Company’s securities. However, management’s assessment of the Company’s current Legal Proceedings is ongoing, and could change in light of the discovery of additional facts with respect to Legal Proceedings not presently known to the Company, further legal analysis, or determinations by judges, arbitrators, juries or other finders of fact or deciders of law which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the probable liability or outcome of such Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the Company is in discussions with regulators, including discussions initiated by the Company, about actual or potential violations of law in order to remediate or mitigate associated legal or compliance risks and liabilities or penalties. As the outcomes of such proceedings are unpredictable, the Company can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect its reputation, business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of its securities.
Certain Litigation. A consolidated stockholder class and derivative action (the “Tender Offer Litigation”) concerning the tender offer by Cottage Holdco B.V. (the “Cottage Tender Offer”) and the Schedule 14D-9 is pending against certain current and former directors of the Company, JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The case, which was filed on May 6, 2019, was captioned Massachusetts Laborers’ Pension Fund v. Harf et al., Case No. 2019-0336-AGB. On June 14, 2019, plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a Verified Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (“Amended Complaint”). After defendants responded to the Amended Complaint, on October 21, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Verified Second Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”), alleging that the directors and JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders and breached the Stockholders Agreement. The Second Amended Complaint seeks, among other things, monetary relief. On November 21, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss certain claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint, and certain of the director defendants also answered the complaint. On May 7, 2020, plaintiffs stipulated to the dismissal without prejudice of JAB Holding Company S.à r.l. from the action. On August 17,

2020, the court denied the remaining motions to dismiss. As of October 17, 2022, the parties to the Tender Offer Litigation have reached an agreement in principle to resolve the matter, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.
A purported stockholder class action complaint, alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws in connection with the P&G beauty brands acquisition is pending against the Company as well as certain current and former officers of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case, which was filed on September 4, 2020, is captioned Crystal Garrett-Evans v. Coty Inc. et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-07277 (the “Evans Action”). On November 23, 2020, the court appointed the individual Susan Nock as lead plaintiff and the Rosen Firm as lead counsel. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 22, 2021. The Amended Complaint asserts claims under the federal securities laws and seeks, among other things, monetary relief. On March 8, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and on August 4, 2021, the court dismissed the amended complaint, holding that it failed to set forth a valid claim. There has been no appeal of the dismissal and the Evans Action has been concluded.
A second purported stockholder class action and derivative complaint, alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws in connection with the P&G beauty brands acquisition and the Kylie Brands transaction as well as claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets by certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case, which was filed on November 17, 2020, is captioned Chris Lewis v. Becht et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-09685 (the “Lewis Action”). The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, injunctive and/or monetary relief. This action was voluntarily stayed during the pendency of the motion to dismiss the Evans Action. Following the dismissal of the Evans Action, counsel for the plaintiff in the Lewis Action agreed to dismiss the case and the court has approved the dismissal of the action as of October 2021.
At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance, that may result given the current status of these lawsuits.
Brazilian Tax Assessments
The Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries receive tax assessments from local, state and federal tax authorities in Brazil from time to time. Current open tax assessments as of September 30, 2022 are:

Assessment received | Type of assessment | Type of Tax | Tax period impacted | Estimated amount, including interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 |
Mar-18 | State sales tax credits, which the Treasury Office of the State of Goiás considers as improperly registered | ICMS | 2016-2017 | R$1.1 million (approximately $0.2) |
Aug-20 | ICMS | 2017-2019 | R$712.6 million (approximately $132.0)
Oct-20 | Federal excise taxes, which the Treasury Office of the Brazil’s Internal Revenue Service considers as improperly calculated | IPI | 2016-2017 | R$373.6 million (approximately $69.2)
Nov-20 | State sales taxes, which the Treasury Office of the State of Minas Gerais considers as improperly calculated | ICMS | 2016-2019 | R$203.0 million (approximately $37.6)
Jun-21 | State sales tax, which the Treasury Office of the State of Goiás considers as improperly calculated | ICMS | 2016-2020 | R$80.7 million (approximately $15.0)

All cases are currently in the administrative process. The Company is seeking favorable administrative decisions on the tax enforcement actions filed by the tax authorities for these assessments. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and it has not recognized a loss for these assessments as the Company does not believe a loss is probable. Due to the fiscal environment in Brazil, the possibility of further tax assessments related to the same or similar matters cannot be ruled out.

Such services include billing and collecting from Wella customers, certain logistics and warehouse services, as well as other administrative and systems support. The Company and Wella have mutually agreed to end the contracted TSA services on January 31, 2022.

More information about potential risks and uncertainties that could affect our business and financial results is included under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports we have filed and may file with the SEC from time to time.
Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, strategic planning, targets and outlook for future reporting periods (including the extent and timing of revenue, expense and profit trends and changes in operating cash flows and cash flows from operating activities and investing activities), the wind down of the Company’s operations in Russia (including timing and expected impact), the Company’s future operations and strategy (including the expected implementation and related impact of its strategic priorities), ongoing and future cost efficiency, optimization and restructuring initiatives and programs, strategic transactions (including their expected timing and impact), expectations and/or plans with respect to joint ventures (including Wella and the timing and size of any related distribution or return of capital), the Company’s capital allocation strategy and payment of dividends (including suspension of dividend payments and the duration thereof and any plans to resume cash dividends on common stock or to continue to pay dividends in cash on preferred stock), investments, licenses and portfolio changes, product launches, relaunches or rebranding (including the expected timing or impact thereof), synergies, savings, performance, cost, timing and integration of acquisitions, including the strategic partnerships with Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian West, future cash flows, liquidity and borrowing capacity (including any refinancing or deleveraging activities), timing and size of cash outflows and debt deleveraging, the timing and extent of any future impairments, and synergies, savings, impact, cost, timing and implementation of the Company’s ongoing transformation agenda (including operational and organizational structure changes, operational execution and simplification initiatives, fixed cost reductions, and supply chain changes), the impact, cost, timing and implementation of e-commerce and digital initiatives, expected impact, cost, timing and implementation of sustainability initiatives (including progress, plans and goals), the impact of COVID-19, the expected impact of geopolitical risks including the ongoing war in Ukraine on our business operations, sales outlook and strategy, the expected impact of global supply chain challenges and/or inflationary pressures (including as a result of COVID-19 and/or the war in Ukraine) and expectations regarding future service levels, and the priorities of senior management.

OVERVIEW
We are one of the world’s largest beauty companies, with an iconic portfolio of brands across fragrance, color cosmetics, and skin and body care. Through targeted strategic transactions, we have strengthened and diversified our presence across the countries, categories and channels in which we compete, building a strong beauty platform. As we transform the Company, we continue to make progress on our strategic priorities, including stabilizing and growing our Consumer Beauty brands through leading innovation and improved execution, accelerating our Prestige fragrance business and ongoing expansion into Prestige cosmetics, building a comprehensive skincare portfolio leveraging existing brands, enhancing our e-commerce and Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") capabilities, expanding our presence in China through Prestige products and select Consumer Beauty brands, and establishing Coty as an industry leader in sustainability.
We remain attentive to economic and geopolitical conditions that may materially impact our business. We continue to explore and implement risk mitigation strategies in the face of these unfolding conditions and remain agile in adopting to changing circumstances. Such conditions have or may have global implications which may impact the future performance of our business in unpredictable ways.
Our operations outside of the United States account for a significant portion of our revenues and expenses. As a result, a substantial portion of our total revenue and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Recently, exchange rates between these currencies and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may have a significant impact our operating results. During the first quarter, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to certain other foreign currencies – such as the euro and British pound – reduced our reported revenue and expenses, principally related to cost of sales, controllable fixed costs, and advertising and consumer

promotional costs. Refer to Part I, Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022, for a discussion of these factors and other risks.
We expect that our net revenue for fiscal year 2023 will grow in the mid-to high single digits versus the prior year, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, after adjusting for the impact of the Russia exit.
Global Supply Chain Challenges
While our revenues and overall product sales volume increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period, we continue to experience global supply chain challenges resulting from industry-wide component shortages and transportation delays. These challenges have negatively impacted order fill rates across our product categories, including categories where there has been demand growth, particularly in the North America and certain European countries.
Fragrances brands within our Prestige segment and color cosmetics within our Consumer Beauty segment have been the most impacted by shipment and supplier components constraints.
We continue to take steps to improve order fill rates and mitigate the impact of these constraints by working closely with our suppliers to ensure the availability of components such as glass and metal. However, we expect these challenges to continue into the remainder of the fiscal year 2023.
Inflation
Inflationary trends in certain markets and global supply chain challenges may negatively affect our sales and operating performance. We continued to experience the impact of inflation on material, logistical and other costs during the first quarter. The combination of our strategy to premiumize the portfolio, cost savings programs, and recent pricing actions are enabling us to offset inflationary pressure on costs. We currently anticipate the impact of inflation to continue into the second quarter and second half fiscal 2023. We will continue to implement mitigation strategies and price increases to offset these trends; however, such measures may not fully offset the impact to our operating performance. After the resumption of more typical business conditions, the economics of developing, producing, launching, supporting and discontinuing products will continue to impact the timing of our sales and operating performance each period.
Russia-Ukraine War
We continue to wind down the operations of our Russian subsidiary. In connection with our wind down, we liquidated a portion of our remaining inventory in Russia, in accordance with applicable sanctions, during the first quarter. We anticipate incurring up to $9.0 of additional costs through completion of the wind down, and future net cash costs of $30.0 to $35.0, which will be funded by our Russian subsidiary. Additionally, management anticipates derecognizing the cumulative translation adjustment balance pertaining to the Russian subsidiary. The amount of future costs, including cash costs, will be subject to various factors, such as additional government regulation and the resolution of legal contingencies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures for continuing operations and Coty Inc. including Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Coty Inc. to common stockholders (collectively, the “Adjusted Performance Measures”). The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in tables below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of the business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in the beauty industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Despite the limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures, our management uses the Adjusted Performance Measures as key metrics in the evaluation of our performance and annual budgets and to benchmark performance of our business against our competitors. The following are examples of how these Adjusted Performance Measures are utilized by our management:
•strategic plans and annual budgets are prepared using the Adjusted Performance Measures;
•senior management receives a monthly analysis comparing budget to actual operating results that is prepared using the Adjusted Performance Measures; and
•senior management’s annual compensation is calculated, in part, by using some of the Adjusted Performance Measures.
In addition, our financial covenant compliance calculations under our debt agreements are substantially derived from these Adjusted Performance Measures.

Table of Content s
Our management believes that Adjusted Performance Measures are useful to investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of the Company. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures address questions we routinely receive from analysts and investors and, in order to ensure that all investors have access to the same data, our management has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors. The Adjusted Performance Measures exclude the impact of certain items (as further described below) and provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance. By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, our management intends to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as such measures allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. We provide disclosure of the effects of these non-GAAP financial measures by presenting the corresponding measure prepared in conformity with GAAP in our financial statements, and by providing a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measure so that investors may understand the adjustments made in arriving at the non-GAAP financial measures and use the information to perform their own analyses.
Adjusted operating income/Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations excludes restructuring costs and business structure realignment programs, amortization, acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and acquisition accounting impacts, stock-based compensation, and asset impairment charges and other adjustments as described below. For adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the preceding, we exclude adjusted depreciation as defined below. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of such items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and significance. They are primarily incurred to realign our operating structure and integrate new acquisitions, and implement divestitures of components of our business, and fluctuate based on specific facts and circumstances. Additionally, Adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. and Adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. per common share are adjusted for certain interest and other (income) expense items and preferred stock deemed dividends, as described below, and the related tax effects of each of the items used to derive Adjusted net income as such charges are not used by our management in assessing our operating performance period-to-period.
Adjusted Performance Measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
•Costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities: We have excluded acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and the accounting impacts such as those related to transaction costs and costs associated with the revaluation of acquired inventory in connection with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction. Additionally, for divestitures, we exclude write-offs of assets that are no longer recoverable and contract related costs due to the divestiture. The nature and amount of such costs vary significantly based on the size and timing of the acquisitions and divestitures, and the maturities of the businesses being acquired or divested. Also, the size, complexity and/or volume of past transactions, which often drives the magnitude of such expenses, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of any future acquisitions or divestitures.
•Restructuring and other business realignment costs: We have excluded costs associated with restructuring and business structure realignment programs to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. In addition, the nature and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. By excluding the referenced expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures, our management is able to further evaluate our ability to utilize existing assets and estimate their long-term value. Furthermore, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Asset impairment charges: We have excluded the impact of asset impairments as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Amortization expense: We have excluded the impact of amortization of finite-lived intangible assets, as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance. Although we exclude amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP expenses, our management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.
•Costs related to market exit: We have excluded the impact of direct incremental costs related to our decision to wind down our business operations in Russia. We believe that these direct and incremental costs are inconsistent and infrequent in nature. Consequently, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

•Gains on sale of real estate: We have excluded the impact of Gains on sale of real estate as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the size of the sale. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Stock-based compensation: Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we have excluded the effect of these expenses from the calculation of adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA. This is due to their primarily non-cash nature; in addition, the amount and timing of these expenses may be highly variable and unpredictable, which may negatively affect comparability between periods.
•Depreciation and Adjusted depreciation: Our adjusted operating income excludes the impact of accelerated depreciation for certain restructuring projects that affect the expected useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment, as such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. Further, we have excluded adjusted depreciation, which represents depreciation expense net of accelerated depreciation charges, from our adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Other (income) expense: We have excluded the impact of pension curtailment (gains) and losses and pension settlements as such events are triggered by our restructuring and other business realignment activities and the amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. Further, we have excluded the change in fair value of the investment in Wella, as our management believes these unrealized (gains) and losses do not reflect our underlying ongoing business, and the adjustment of such impact helps investors and others compare and analyze performance from period to period. We have excluded the gain on the exchange of Series B Preferred Stock. Such transactions do not reflect our operating results and we have excluded the impact as our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Noncontrolling interest: This adjustment represents the after-tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments included in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests based on the relevant noncontrolling interest percentage.
•Tax: This adjustment represents the impact of the tax effect of the pretax items excluded from Adjusted net income. The tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is based on the tax rates related to the jurisdiction in which the adjusted items are received or incurred. Additionally, adjustments are made for the tax impact of any intra-entity transfer of assets and liabilities.
•Deemed Preferred Stock Dividends: We have excluded preferred stock deemed dividends related to the First Exchange and the Second Exchange (as defined in Note 14—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock) from our calculation of adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. These deemed dividends are nonmonetary in nature, the transactions were entered into to simplify our capital structure and do not reflect our underlying ongoing business. Management believes that this adjustment helps investors and others compare and analyze our performance from period to period.
While acquiring brands and licenses comprises a part of our overall growth strategy, along with targeting organic growth opportunities, we have excluded acquisition-related costs and acquisition accounting impacts in connection with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and the amount and frequency are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Our management assesses the success of an acquisition as a component of performance using a variety of indicators depending on the size and nature of the acquisition, including:
•the scale of the combined company by evaluating consolidated and segment financial metrics;
•the expansion of product offerings by evaluating segment, brand, and geographic performance and the respective strength of the brands;
•the evaluation of share expansion in categories and geographies;
•the earnings per share accretion and substantial incremental free cash flow generation providing financial flexibility for us; and
•the comparison of actual and projected results, including achievement of projected synergies, post integration; provided that timing for any such comparison will depend on the size and complexity of the acquisition.

Constant Currency
We operate on a global basis, with the majority of our net revenues generated outside of the U.S. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect our results of operations. Therefore, to supplement financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, certain financial information is presented in “constant currency”, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We calculate constant currency information by translating current and prior-period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars using prior year foreign currency exchange rates. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate. The constant currency information we present may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Basis of Presentation of Acquisitions, Divestitures and Terminations
During the period when we complete an acquisition, divestiture or early license termination, the financial results of the current year period are not comparable to the financial results presented in the prior year period. When explaining such changes from period to period and to maintain a consistent basis between periods, we exclude the financial contribution of: (i) the acquired brands or businesses in the current year period until we have twelve months of comparable financial results and (ii) the divested brands or businesses or early terminated brands, to maintain comparable financial results with the current fiscal year period. There are no acquisitions, divestitures or early license terminations in the comparable periods that would impact the comparability of financial results between periods presented in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
NET REVENUES
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, net revenues increased 1%, or $18.3, to $1,390.0 from $1,371.7 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting a positive price and mix impact of 6% and an increase in unit volume of 2%, partially offset by a negative foreign currency exchange translation impact of 7%. The overall increase in net revenues reflects growth in our Consumer Beauty segment due to positive performance across the body care, skincare, and color cosmetics categories. Net revenues in our Prestige segment remained relatively flat, benefiting from the positive performance in the prestige fragrance category due to the continued success of fragrance brands such as Gucci, Burberry, and Calvin Klein. The prestige makeup category, negatively impacted by lockdowns in China, experienced a decline in net revenues. The overall increase in net revenues reflects the successful implementation of global price increases across all product categories, our product premiumization strategy, and positive overall market trends. Additionally, there was growth in travel retail sales due to increased leisure travel in the period. E-commerce sales remained relatively flat, led by growth in Europe partially offset by declines across the US, and the Asia Pacific region partially due to lockdowns in China. Despite overall growth, foreign exchange headwinds negatively impacted net revenues, primarily affecting the euro and British pound.
The overall change in net revenues was impacted by our ongoing exit from Russia, resulting in an approximate 2% negative net impact on our net revenues in the current quarter, including an approximate 2% negative net impact on our Prestige business net revenues.

In the three months ended September 30, 2022, net revenues from the Prestige segment decreased 1%, or $7.3 to $863.4 compared to $870.7 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting a negative foreign currency exchange translation impact of 8% and a decrease in unit volume of 3%, partially offset by a positive price and mix impact of 10%. This decrease in net revenues primarily reflects:

(i)lower net revenues related to Tiffany due to less innovation in the current fiscal period, the impact of the lockdowns in China and our wind down of Russia;
(ii)lower net revenues for the Lacoste brand in the current quarter, which was primarily due to our wind down of Russia; and
(iii)lower net revenues in the prestige makeup category impacted by a decline in Gucci travel retail sales in the Asia Pacific region as a result of the lockdowns in China.
These decreases in net revenues were offset by:
(i)the continued success and growth of prestige fragrances, specifically Gucci Flora, Burberry Hero and Her, and Chloe Atelier des Fleurs; and
(ii)an increase in net revenues due to positive pricing impact as a result of global price increases and an overall premiumization strategy.
Consumer Beauty
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, net revenues from the Consumer Beauty segment increased 5%, or $25.6, to $526.6 from $501.0 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting a positive price and mix impact of 9% and an increase in unit volume of 3%, partially offset by a negative foreign currency exchange translation impact of 7%. The increase in net revenues primarily reflects:
(i)an increase in net revenues from body care brands led by Adidas and Monange. Both brands had increases in net revenue due to positive pricing impact and product mix. Additionally, the phasing for upcoming holiday sales and early stages of the re-launch of the Adidas brand and the re-launch of the Monange brand with increased media spend in Brazil contributed to the increase in net revenues;
(ii)an increase in net revenues for certain key color cosmetics brands, such as CoverGirl, Max Factor and Bourjois, due to positive category trends; and
(iii)an increase in net revenues due to price increases across the Consumer Beauty product portfolio.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net revenues for Sally Hansen products, resulting from the continued decline for demand for at-home nail care compared to the prior year quarter where COVID-19 restrictions had resulted in fewer nail salon visits and positively impacted the nail category and the brand's net revenue in the prior year quarter.
COST OF SALES
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, cost of sales decreased 1%, or $3.5, to $501.3 from $504.8 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 36.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 36.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2021, resulting in a gross margin increase of approximately 70 basis points, primarily reflecting:
(i)approximately 100 basis points related to positive price impact across our product portfolio;
(ii)approximately 60 basis points due to lower returns and markdown costs for the Consumer Beauty division as a result of higher sell through compared to the prior year period and lower returns volume for products in the Prestige division primarily in the US and Latin American markets;
(iii)approximately 50 basis points related to a favorable impact on variable costs due to increased manufacturing efficiencies, improvements in productivity as well as procurement and material cost optimization; and
(iv)approximately 20 basis points related to designer license fees due to a favorable impact associated with a higher portion of Consumer Beauty sales in the current period.
These increases were partially offset by:
(i)approximately 60 basis points related to product mix impact due to a higher portion of consolidated sales being from the Consumer Beauty division;
(ii)approximately 50 basis points related to freight; and
(iii)approximately 50 basis points in increased excess and obsolescence costs.
Included in the above is the negative impact of inflation on material and freight costs of approximately 180 basis points.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 14%, or $105.6, to $670.7 from $776.3 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 48.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 56.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2021, or approximately 830 basis points. This decrease primarily reflects:
(i)570 basis points due to a decrease in stock-based compensation cost primarily related to a reduction in expense recognized in connection with a prior year's grant made to the CEO;
(ii)140 basis points due to decrease in advertising and consumer promotional costs as a percentage of net revenue primarily related to a reduction of marketing costs, principally for non-working media, in the first quarter due to the timing of certain campaigns for the Prestige division;
(iii)40 basis points due to a decrease in bad debt expense as a percentage of net revenues;
(iv)30 basis points due to lower logistics costs as a percentage of net revenues; and
(v)20 basis points due to favorable transactional impact from our exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations;
(vi)20 basis points for other operating income (expense) as a percentage of net revenue primarily related to an accrual reversal associated with the resolution of a contingency; and
(vii) 10 basis points due to lower administrative costs as a percentage of net revenues due to a decrease in compensation related to a reduction in employee headcount.
OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, operating income was $171.9 compared to $17.2 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Operating income as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 12.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to an operating income as a percentage of net revenues of 1.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The improved operating margin is primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation expense, lower advertising and consumer promotional costs as a percentage of revenues, lower restructuring costs, lower amortization expense, lower cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues and lower acquisition and divestiture related costs.

In the three months ended September 30, 2022, adjusted operating income increased $49.1 to $249.6 from $200.5 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted operating margin increased to 18.0% of net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 14.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2021. In the three months ended September 30, 2022, adjusted EBITDA increased $29.4 to $307.9 from $278.5 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 22.2% of net revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 20.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by lower advertising and consumer promotional costs as a percentage of revenues and lower cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues.
Amortization Expense
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, amortization expense decreased to $47.3 from $57.0 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. In the three months ended September 30, 2022, amortization expense of $37.0 and $10.3 was reported in the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2021, amortization expense of $44.9 and $12.1 was reported in the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by certain license agreements and product formulations, which were fully amortized in the prior year.
Restructuring and Other Business Realignment Costs
We continue to analyze our cost structure, including opportunities to simplify and optimize operations. In connection with the four-year Turnaround plan announced on July 1, 2019 to drive substantial improvement and optimization in our business, we have and expect to continue to incur restructuring and other business realignment costs. On May 11, 2020, we announced an expansion of the Turnaround Plan to further reduce fixed costs, the Transformation Plan. We incurred $483.0 of cash costs life-to-date as of September 30, 2022, which have been recorded in Corporate.
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred a credit in restructuring and other business structure realignment costs of $0.8, as follows:
•We incurred a credit in restructuring costs of $1.2 primarily related to the Transformation Plan changes in estimates, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations; and
•We incurred business structure realignment costs of $0.4 primarily related to the Transformation Plan and certain other programs. This amount includes $(0.5) reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses, and $0.9 reported in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In the three months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred restructuring and other business structure realignment costs of $15.1 as follows:

This amount includes nil reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses, and $2.7 reported in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In all reported periods, all restructuring and other business realignment costs were reported in Corporate.
Stock-Based Compensation
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, stock-based compensation was $31.1 as compared with $108.2 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in stock-based compensation is primarily related to a reduction in expense recognized in connection with a prior year's grant made to the CEO.
In the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, all costs related to stock-based compensation were reported in Corporate.
Acquisition and Divestiture Activities
In the three months ended September 30, 2022 we incurred no costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities.
In the three months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred $4.0 of costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities. These costs were primarily associated with the Wella Transaction.
In all reported periods, all costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities were reported in Corporate.
Adjusted Depreciation Expense
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, adjusted depreciation expense of $27.6 and $30.7 was reported in the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2021, adjusted depreciation expense of $38.0 and $40.0 was reported in the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, respectively.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, net interest expense was $65.9 as compared with $59.8 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily due to a higher average interest rate despite lower debt balances in the current period.
OTHER INCOME
In the three months ended September 30, 2022, other income was $(98.2) as compared with $(386.1) in the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease in income is primarily due to a less favorable fair value adjustment related to our investment in the Wella Company compared to the prior period, in addition to unfavorable changes in the fair value adjustments for our forward repurchase contracts.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 34.1% and 33.4%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2021, is primarily due to larger fair value gains related to the investment in the Wella business recorded in the prior period.
The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates, (ii) adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest, (iii) non-deductible expenses, (iv) audit settlements and (v) valuation allowance changes. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly and could be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries that have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher statutory rates.

In preparing the calculation, each adjustment to reported income is first analyzed to determine if the adjustment has an income tax consequence. The provision for taxes is then calculated based on the jurisdiction in which the adjusted items are incurred, multiplied by the respective statutory rates and offset by the increase or reversal of any valuation allowances commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability.

The adjusted effective tax rate was 29.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 29.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The differences were primarily due to the resolution of foreign uncertain tax positions in the prior period.
NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO COTY INC.
Net income attributable to Coty Inc. was $128.6 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to an income of $226.0 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the income is primarily driven by the lower unrealized gain in the Wella investment, partially offset by higher operating income and decrease in tax provision in the current period.
We believe that adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. provides an enhanced understanding of our performance. See “Overview—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our primary sources of funds include cash expected to be generated from operations, borrowings from issuance of debt and lines of credit provided by banks and lenders in the U.S. and abroad.
Our cash flows are subject to seasonal variation throughout the year, including demands on cash made during our first fiscal quarter in anticipation of higher global sales during the second fiscal quarter and strong cash generation in the second fiscal quarter as a result of increased demand by retailers associated with the holiday season.
Our principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating expenditures, capital expenditures, business structure realignment expenditures, interest payments, acquisitions, dividends, share repurchases and any principal payments on debt. Working

Table of Content s
capital movements are influenced by the sourcing of materials related to the production of products. Cash and working capital management initiatives, including the phasing of vendor payments and factoring of trade receivables from time-to-time, may also impact the timing and amount of our operating cash flows.
We continue to wind down the operations of our Russian subsidiary. We anticipate incurring up to $9.0 of additional costs through completion of the wind down, and future net cash costs of $30.0 to $35.0, which will be funded by our Russian subsidiary. The amount of future costs, including cash costs, will be subject to various factors, such as additional government regulation and the resolution of legal contingencies.
Debt
See Note 10—Debt in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our debt arrangements and prior period credit agreements.
Factoring of Receivables
From time to time, we supplement the timing of our cash flows through the factoring of trade receivables. In this regard, we have entered into factoring arrangements with financial institutions.
The net amount utilized under the factoring facilities was $177.8 and $179.3 as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The aggregate amount of trade receivable invoices factored on a worldwide basis amounted to $346.0 and $264.2 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cash Flows

| Three Months Ended September 30,
| 2022 |  | 2021
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Data: (in millions) |  |  |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 163.2 |  |  | $ | 285.7 |
Net cash used in investing activities | (75.0) |  |  | (45.0) |
Net cash used in financing activities | (87.8) |  |  | (122.7) |

Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $163.2 and $285.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $122.5 was primarily driven by higher net outflows from changes throughout working capital accounts, which were partially offset by an increase in cash related net income during the first three months of the current fiscal year. Changes in accrued expenses and other current liabilities were the main driver of the increase in outflows from working capital accounts, which was primarily due to timing of payments and accruals for restructuring and sales related activities. Changes in cash related net income reflects higher net revenues and lower costs as a percentage of net revenues year over.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $75.0 and $45.0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities of $30.0 was due to the timing of payments and level of capital expenditure projects.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $87.8 and $122.7, respectively. The decrease in cash used in financing activities of $34.9 is primarily driven by is driven by net proceeds from borrowings on revolving credit facilities in the current year compared to net repayments in the prior year as well as higher payments in the prior year for accrued and incurred debt issuance costs and prior year purchase of the remaining mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest. Higher cash outflows from realized losses on financing foreign currency contracts was the primary offset to the overall year over year decrease in cash used in financing activities.
Dividends
On April 29, 2020, our Board of Directors suspended the payment of dividends, in keeping with our 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended. As we focus on preserving cash, we expect to suspend the payment of dividends until we reach a Net debt to Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of 2x. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Dividends on the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock are payable in cash, or by increasing the amount of accrued dividends on Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, or any combination thereof, at the sole discretion of the Company. After the expiration of applicable restrictions under the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended, we began to pay dividends on the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock in cash for the period ended June 30, 2021, and we expect to continue to pay such dividends in cash on a quarterly basis, subject to the declaration thereof by our Board of Directors. Dividends accrued on the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock before April 1, 2021 have been declared and paid in October 2021. The terms of the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock restrict our ability to declare cash dividends on our common stock until all accrued dividends on the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in cash.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the first fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
