Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
As previously disclosed by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (the "Company") in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, to enhance accountability and streamline operations within the organization, as well as to align with its recently announced leadership changes, the Company has reorganized its geographic regions. Beginning with the Company's fiscal 2026 first quarter, the Company will be reporting its fiscal 2026 and comparative fiscal 2025 results by geographic region under the new regional structure. The Company's four geographic regions, effective July 1, 2025, are:
•The Americas, which will continue to include North America and Latin America;
•Europe, the United Kingdom and Ireland and Emerging Markets ("EUKEM"), which will continue to include the geographic markets of its previously reported Europe, the Middle East & Africa region, will exclude its global travel retail business, and will include its Southeast Asian Emerging Markets, previously reported in its Asia/Pacific region, of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam;
•Asia/Pacific, which will continue to include certain geographic markets of its previously reported Asia/Pacific region, such as Japan, Korea, Hong Kong SAR, and Australia, among others, and will also include its global travel retail business, previously reported in its Europe, the Middle East & Africa region; and
•Mainland China, previously reported in its Asia/Pacific region, will now be reported as a separate region.
In connection with the reorganization of the Company's geographic regions, the Company has changed its methodology used to report certain global and regional activity to reflect management's view of the business. The primary revisions to operating results by region include (i) excluding the impacts of intercompany royalty activities globally, (ii) the allocation of corporate expenses to all regions, including global support functions, which had historically been reported in The Americas region, and (iii) the allocation of impacts from the Company's manufacturing facilities to all regions, which had historically been reported in the region where the facilities are located. These changes were made to reflect management's view that these activities are conducted to benefit the Company on a global basis.
The reorganization of the Company's regional structure does not impact the Company's operating segments. As we have done historically, we continue to develop our strategy, assess performance and allocate resources by product category and will continue to report results by product category.
To provide investors with historical information on a basis consistent with its new geographic region reporting structure, the Company has recast its historical results by geographic region to conform to the new regional structure. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 are schedules recasting geographic region net sales and operating income for the previously reported fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and each quarterly and year-to-date period within those fiscal years.
The changes to the Company's geographic regions and allocation methodology discussed above affect only the manner in which the Company’s results by geographic region were previously reported. These changes have no impact to any previously reported consolidated results. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
