Revlon Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

Results Reflect Continued Top-Line Growth in All Reporting Segments

Company Continues to Execute on Strategic Pillars, Driving Highest As Reported Third Quarter EBITDA in Five Years

Revlon, Inc. (NYSE:REV) ("Revlon" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Quarter ended September 30, 2021 summary developments:¹

• As Reported net sales were $521.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $477.1 million during the prior-year period, an increase of $44.0 million, or 9.2%. The Company achieved revenue growth across all of its reporting segments.
• As Reported operating income was $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to a loss of $9.7 million during the prior-year period, an improvement of $43.8 million. The higher operating income was driven primarily by $44.0 million in higher net sales, and a gross margin improvement of 670 basis points over the prior-year period, offset by $9.7 million in higher restructuring charges and $2.7 million in higher selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2021 increased by $33.0 million to $47.3 million from $14.3 million of Adjusted operating income in the prior-year period.
• Adjusted EBITDA^(a) in the third quarter of 2021 was $82.4 million, versus $54.5 million in the prior-year period. The higher Adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by the higher Adjusted income.
• As Reported net loss was $53.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, versus a $44.5 million net loss in the prior-year period. The higher net loss was primarily due to a $31.2 million gain from the early extinguishment of debt in 2020, and $19.7 million of unfavorable variance in foreign currency year-over-year. Excluding these impacts, As Reported net loss would have improved by $42.3 million.
• As of September 30, 2021, the Company had total liquidity of $121.9 million.

Debra Perelman, Revlon's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Our results this quarter demonstrate that our strategy is working. The top-line growth in our brands and strong EBITDA performance are evidence of the sustained positive momentum we are seeing in our business as we continue to execute. For the second consecutive quarter, all our reporting segments increased revenue compared to the prior year, and our e-commerce segment posted double-digit growth. We are also well into the implementation phase of our Revlon Global Growth Accelerator program, which was put in place to support our long-term profitable growth.

"In terms of the macro environment, we continue to navigate global supply chain pressures, including increased prices on key ingredients and components, logistics challenges across all modes of transportation, and persistent labor shortages. As touched on last quarter, we are taking the appropriate steps to address these issues, including aggressively managing costs and implementing select price increases. While we expect these challenges to persist well into 2022, we are prepared to dynamically manage our business until the situation stabilizes."

Revlon Segment

Revlon segment net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $173.0 million, a $7.0 million, or 4.2%, increase, compared to $166.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the $2.1 million favorable FX impact, total Revlon segment net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $4.9 million, or 3.0%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Revlon segment XFX increase in net sales of $4.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by higher net sales of Revlon ColorSilk and Revlon color cosmetics, both in North America and in International regions, higher net sales of Revlon-branded professional hair care products in International regions, and, to a lower extent, higher net sales of Revlon-branded beauty tools both in North America and in the International regions. This increase was due, primarily, to retail channels continuing to show signs of improvement from the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as salons' increased activity in connection with progressive and/or temporary lifting of restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by decreased net sales in North America of Revlon-branded hair-care products.

Revlon segment profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $16.1 million, a $2.6 million, or 19.3%, increase, compared to $13.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the $0.6 million favorable FX impact, Revlon segment profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $2.0 million, or 14.8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was driven primarily by the Revlon segment's higher net sales, as described above, partially offset by moderately lower gross profit margin.

Elizabeth Arden Segment

Elizabeth Arden segment net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $122.8 million, a $16.5 million, or 15.5%, increase, compared to $106.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the $3.4 million favorable FX impact, Elizabeth Arden segment net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $13.1 million, or 12.3%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Elizabeth Arden segment XFX increase in net sales of $13.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven primarily by higher net sales of Green Tea and White Tea fragrances, as well as certain other Elizabeth Arden-branded fragrances and skin care products, primarily in International regions. This increase was due, primarily, to growth in e-commerce net sales, as well as an increase in the travel retail business, while there are also signs of improvements from the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on foot traffic at department stores and other retail outlets, primarily internationally.

Elizabeth Arden segment profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $21.3 million, a $17.9 million increase, compared to $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the $0.9 million favorable FX impact, Elizabeth Arden segment profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $17.0 million, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was driven primarily by the Elizabeth Arden segment's higher net sales and higher gross profit margin, partially offset by higher brand support and other SG&A expenses to support the increase in sales activity.

Portfolio Segment

Portfolio segment net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $112.7 million, a $13.1 million, or 13.2%, increase, compared to $99.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the $1.3 million favorable FX impact, total Portfolio segment net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $11.8 million, or 11.8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Portfolio segment XFX increase in net sales of $11.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven primarily by higher net sales of American Crew men's grooming products, Almay color cosmetics and CND nail products in North America, and higher net sales of Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorants in International regions, primarily in connection with the mass retail channel continuing to show signs of improvement from the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This increase was partially offset, primarily, by lower net sales of previously sold brands and of certain local and regional skin care products brands.

Portfolio segment profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $22.1 million, a $9.9 million, or 81.1%, increase, compared to $12.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the $0.3 million favorable FX impact, Portfolio segment profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $9.6 million, or 78.7%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was driven primarily by the Portfolio segment's higher net sales and higher gross profit margin, partially offset by higher brand support expenses to support the increase in sales activity.

Fragrances Segment

Fragrances segment net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $112.6 million, a $7.4 million, or 7.0%, increase, compared to $105.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The Fragrances segment XFX increase in net sales of $6.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven primarily by higher net sales of Juicy Couture and John Varvatos fragrances, partially offset by lower net sales in North America of other branded and distributed fragrances, primarily due to a recovery from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as retailers are restocking their inventory levels.

Fragrances segment profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $22.9 million, a $2.5 million, or 9.8%, decrease, compared to $25.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the $0.3 million favorable FX impact, Fragrances segment profit in the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $2.8 million, or 11.0%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was driven primarily by the Fragrances segment's higher brand support and SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher net sales and moderately higher gross profit margin.

This increase was due, primarily, to growth in e-commerce net sales, as well as an increase in the travel retail business, while there are also signs of improvements from the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on foot traffic at department stores and other retail outlets, and it was partially offset by lower net sales of Prevage.

Portfolio Segment

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of 2021 was $86.7 million, compared to $256.9 million in the prior-year period.

Liquidity Update

Third Quarter 2021

Results Conference Call

Footnotes to Press Release

^(a) Non-GAAP Financial Measures: EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted net sales; Adjusted operating loss/income; Adjusted net income/loss; Adjusted gross profit; Adjusted gross profit margin; Adjusted diluted loss per common share and free cash flow (together, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are non-GAAP financial measures. See the reconciliations of such Non-GAAP Measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables, to the extent not otherwise directly reconciled in the Company's financial results.

The Company defines EBITDA as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses (the foregoing being the "EBITDA Exclusions"). The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the EBITDA Exclusions, as well as the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and certain other non-operating items that are not directly attributable to the Company's underlying operating performance (the "Non-Operating Items"). The following table identifies the Non-Operating Items excluded in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA for all periods:

Adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per common share exclude the after-tax impact of the Non-Operating Items from As Reported net loss.

The Company excludes the EBITDA Exclusions and Non-Operating Items, as applicable, in calculating the Non-GAAP Measures because the Company's management believes that some of these items may not occur in certain periods, the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period and/or these items do not facilitate an understanding of the Company's underlying operating performance.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by/used in operating activities, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow excludes proceeds on sale of discontinued operations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as it excludes certain expenditures such as mandatory debt service requirements, which for the Company are significant.

The Company's management uses the Non-GAAP Measures as operating performance measures, and in the case of free cash flow, as a liquidity measure (in conjunction with GAAP financial measures), as an integral part of its reporting and planning processes and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company's business operations, financial performance and overall liquidity; (ii) facilitate management's internal comparisons of the Company's historical operating performance of its business operations; (iii) facilitate management's external comparisons of the results of its overall business to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels; (iv) review and assess the operating performance of the Company's management team and, together with other operational objectives, as a measure in evaluating employee compensation, including bonuses and other incentive compensation; (v) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments; and (vi) plan for and prepare future annual operating budgets and determine appropriate levels of operating investments.

Management believes that the Non-GAAP Measures are useful to investors to provide them with disclosures of the Company's operating results on the same basis as that used by management. Management believes that the Non-GAAP Measures provide useful information to investors about the performance of the Company's overall business because such measures eliminate the effects of certain charges that are not directly attributable to the Company's underlying operating performance. Additionally, management believes that providing the Non-GAAP Measures enhances the comparability for investors in assessing the Company's financial reporting. Management believes that free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides them with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment to support the Company's ongoing business operations, and provides them with the same measures that management uses as the basis for making resource allocation decisions.

Accordingly, the Company believes that the presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful financial analytical measures that are used by management, as described above, and therefore can assist investors in assessing the Company's financial condition, operating performance and underlying strength. The Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for their respective most directly comparable As Reported financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income/loss, operating income/loss, diluted earnings/loss per share or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Other companies may define such non-GAAP measures differently. Also, while EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as used in this release, are defined differently than Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's credit agreements and indentures, certain financial covenants in its borrowing arrangements are tied to similar financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related footnotes filed with the SEC.

^(b) Segment profit is defined as income from continuing operations for each of the Company's Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Portfolio and Fragrances segments, excluding the EBITDA Exclusions. Segment profit also excludes the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the segments' underlying operating performance, including the impact of the Non-Operating Items noted above in footnote (a). The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales.

and/or less than expected additional sources of liquidity from such initiatives; and/or (ii) the Company's inability, in whole or in part, to continue to execute its business strategy, such as due to unanticipated circumstances or results affecting the Company's financial performance and or sales growth, including: greater than anticipated levels of consumers choosing to purchase their beauty products through e-commerce and other social media channels and/or greater than anticipated declines in the brick-and-mortar retail channel, or either of those conditions occurring at a rate faster than anticipated; the Company's inability to address the pace and impact of the new commercial landscape, such as its inability to enhance its e-commerce and social media capabilities and/or increase its penetration of e-commerce and social media channels; the Company's inability to drive a successful long-term omni-channel strategy and significantly increase its e-commerce penetration; difficulties, delays and/or the Company's inability to (in whole or in part) develop and implement effective content to enhance its online retail position, improve its consumer engagement across social media platforms and/or transform its technology and data to support efficient management of its digital infrastructure; the Company incurring greater than anticipated levels of expenses and/or debt to facilitate the foregoing objectives, which could result in, among other things, less than anticipated revenues and/or profitability; decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty products in one or more of the Company's segments, whether attributable to COVID-19 or otherwise; adverse changes in tariffs, foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company's products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company's competitors; decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to COVID-19, shortages of raw materials or otherwise; and/or supply disruptions at the Company's manufacturing facilities, whether attributable to COVID-19 or shortages of raw materials, components, and labor, or transportation constraints or otherwise;
