Previously-Announced Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Expected to Successfully Close

Quarterly Results Reflect Sequential Improvement in Top-Line COVID-19 Impacts and Continued Cost Reductions from the Company's Restructuring Program

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Revlon Consumer Products LLC (NYSE: REV) today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Quarter ended September 30, 2020 summary developments:¹

• As Reported net sales were $477.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $596.8 million during the prior-year period, a decline of 20.1%. E-commerce net sales increased approximately 13% versus the prior-year period and represented approximately 12% of third quarter 2020 net sales, versus approximately 9% in the prior-year period. As Reported net sales include approximately $119 million of estimated negative impacts associated with the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Excluding the COVID-19 impacts, net sales were essentially flat compared to the prior-year period.

• As Reported operating loss was $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $16.7 million of operating income during the prior-year period, driven primarily by the lower net sales described above and lower gross profit margin, driven in part by the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the negative impact from sales mix and higher manufacturing overhead absorption costs. These negative impacts were partially offset by $54.7 million in lower selling, general and administrative expenses, driven in part by cost reductions associated with the Company's restructuring programs and additional actions specifically implemented to mitigate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operating results. Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $11.3 million to $14.3 million from $25.6 million in the prior-year period.

• As Reported net loss was $44.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, versus a $44.7 million net loss in the prior-year period. The slightly lower net loss was driven primarily by a $31.2 million gain on the early extinguishment of Product's Corporation's 5.75% Senior Notes as a result of the Company's repurchase and cancellation of approximately $44.4 million in principal face amount of Senior Notes during the third quarter of 2020, as well as a $17.4 million favorable foreign currency impact versus the prior-year period. These impacts were partially offset by the higher operating loss described above and $18.5 million in higher interest expense.

• Adjusted EBITDA(a) in the third quarter of 2020 was $54.5 million versus $68.4 million in the prior-year period, with the decrease driven primarily by the lower net sales and lower adjusted gross profit margin attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

• As of September 30, 2020, the Company had total liquidity of $340.4 million.

• As previously announced, all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Company's Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation have been satisfied and settlement is expected to occur on Friday, November 13, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.

"While COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on both the beauty industry overall as well as on our business, I am pleased that our third quarter 2020 results reflected a sequential improvement in our net sales decline versus the prior quarter. We remain diligent in managing our cost base to reduce COVID-19's impact on our profitability. During the third quarter, the Company made further progress in expanding its e-commerce business, which now represents approximately 12% of the Company's total net sales exceeding our expectations. Also, based on the aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes tendered into the Company's pending Exchange Offer, the Company expects to close that transaction later this week, giving us the additional runway needed to further execute on our business strategy, including investing in the brands and markets where we have scale, and growing our e-commerce business. We would like to thank all of our stakeholders for their support during the transaction. While we still have challenges to face - namely the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic - we believe we have the right long-term strategy in place and will continue to execute against it," said Debra Perelman, Revlon's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Revlon Segment

Revlon segment net sales in the third quarter of 2020 were $166.0 million, a $51.3 million or 23.6% (23.9% XFX) decrease compared to the prior-year period, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic contributing an estimated $50 million ($50 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower net sales were driven primarily by Revlon color cosmetics, as well as lower international net sales of Revlon-branded professional products, due primarily to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mass retail channel and on salon activity. This decrease was partially offset by higher net sales of Revlon-branded beauty tools and hair color products in North America.

Revlon segment profit in the third quarter of 2020 was $13.5 million, compared to $7.3 million in the prior-year period, driven primarily by the segment's lower brand support, partially offset by lower net sales and lower gross profit margin.

Elizabeth Arden Segment

Elizabeth Arden segment net sales in the third quarter of 2020 were $106.3 million, a $16.9 million or 13.7% (14.9% XFX) decrease compared to the prior-year period, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic contributing an estimated $24 million ($25 million XFX) to the decrease. The lower net sales were driven by certain Elizabeth Arden-branded skin care products and color cosmetics in international regions as well as lower net sales of certain Elizabeth Arden-branded fragrances due, in part, to the continuing effects of COVID-19 on foot traffic at department stores and travel retail outlets, partially offset by higher net sales of Ceramide skin care products in North America and strong e-commerce growth.

Elizabeth Arden segment profit in the third quarter of 2020 was $3.4 million, compared to $12.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the segment's lower net sales and lower gross profit margin, partially offset by lower brand support.

Portfolio Segment

Portfolio segment net sales of $99.6 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $18.6 million, or 15.7% (16.2% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $19 million ($19 million XFX) to the decrease. The decrease in segment net sales was driven primarily by Almay color cosmetics, CND nail products and American Crew men's grooming products, primarily in North America, due, in part, to the continuing effects of COVID-19 on the mass retail channel and salons, partially offset by higher net sales of Creme of Nature hair care products and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorants, primarily in North America.

Portfolio segment profit in the third quarter of 2020 was $12.2 million, compared to $14.4 million in the prior-year period, driven by the segment's lower net sales and lower gross profit margin, partially offset by lower SG&A and brand support expenses as a result of cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operating results, as well as the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program.

Fragrances Segment

Fragrances segment net sales of $105.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $32.9 million, or 23.8% (24.0% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $25 million ($25 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower net sales were driven primarily by the continuing impacts from COVID-19, especially in the prestige channel, resulting in decreased foot traffic.

Fragrances segment profit in the third quarter of 2020 was $25.4 million, compared to $34.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of the segment's lower net sales and lower gross profit margin, partially offset by lower SG&A and brand support expenses, driven by cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operating results, as well as the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program.

Geographic Net Sales

Revlon Segment

In North America, Revlon segment net sales of $86.4 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $13.6 million, or 13.6% (13.7% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $15 million ($15 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower net sales in North America were primarily driven by lower net sales of Revlon color cosmetics and Revlon ColorSilk hair care products, due to the continuing effects of COVID-19 on the mass retail channel, partially offset by higher net sales of Revlon-branded beauty tools and hair-care products.

In International, Revlon segment net sales of $79.6 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $37.7 million, or 32.1% (32.6% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $35 million ($35 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower International net sales were driven primarily by lower net sales of Revlon color cosmetics and Revlon-branded professional hair-care products, partially offset by higher net sales of Revlon ColorSilk hair color products, within the Company's Latin America region and growth in e-commerce net sales.

Elizabeth Arden Segment

In North America, Elizabeth Arden segment net sales were $30.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $1.0 million, or 3.4% (3.7% XFX), compared to the prior-year period. COVID-19 impacted net sales by an estimated $1 million ($1 million XFX) versus the prior-year quarter. The improved North America net sales were driven by the segment's higher net sales of Ceramide skin care products, partially offset by certain other Elizabeth Arden-branded skin care and fragrance products, due primarily to the continuing effects of COVID-19 on foot traffic at department stores and in other retail outlets.

In International, Elizabeth Arden segment net sales of $75.8 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $17.9 million, or 19.1% (20.8% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $23 million ($24 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower international net sales were driven by lower net sales of Elizabeth Arden-branded skin care products, certain Elizabeth Arden-branded fragrances, primarily within the Company's EMEA region and continued COVID-19 impacts within the Travel Retail channel.

Portfolio Segment

In North America, Portfolio segment net sales of $59.9 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $11.5 million, or 16.1% (15.8% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $14 million ($14 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower North America net sales were driven by Almay color cosmetics, CND nail products, American Crew men's grooming products, driven, primarily, by the continuing effects of COVID-19 on the mass retail channel and on salons. This decrease was partially offset by higher net sales of Creme of Nature products, Mitchum antiperspirant deodorants and Cutex nail products.

In International, Portfolio segment net sales of $39.7 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $7.1 million, or 15.2% (16.7% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $5 million ($5 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower International net sales were driven primarily by lower net sales of local and regional brands, CND nail products, American Crew men's grooming products and Almay color cosmetics, primarily in the Company's EMEA region, largely attributable to COVID-19's continuing adverse effects on consumer foot traffic in salons and in the mass retail channel.

Fragrances Segment

In North America, Fragrances segment net sales of $79.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $19.4 million, or 19.7% (19.6% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $16 million ($16 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower net sales in North America compared to the prior year quarter were driven primarily by the continuing impacts from COVID-19, especially in the prestige channel, resulting in decreased foot traffic.

In International, Fragrances segment net sales of $26.0 million in the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $13.5 million, or 34.2% (or 34.9% XFX), compared to the prior-year period, with COVID-19 contributing an estimated $9 million ($9 million XFX) to the decrease. The segment's lower international net sales were due to lower net sales of certain licensed fragrances primarily in the Company's EMEA region, due to the continuing impacts from COVID-19, resulting in decreased foot traffic.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of 2020 was $256.9 million, compared to $166.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase in cash usage was driven primarily by the COVID-related lower net sales. Free cash flow^(a) used in the first nine months of 2020 was $264.3 million, compared to $186.8 million used in the prior-year period. The increase in free cash flow usage was driven by higher operating cash flow usage, due in part to COVID-19's ongoing adverse impacts on the business, partially offset by lower capital expenditures.

Liquidity Update

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $340.4 million of available liquidity, consisting of $268.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, as well as $52.6 million in available borrowing capacity under the Product Corporation's Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which had $291.9 million drawn as of such date) and $30.0 million in available borrowing capacity under the 2020 Restated Line of Credit (which was undrawn as of such date), less float of approximately $10.5 million.

Third Quarter 2020 Results Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call with members of the investment community today, November 12, 2020, at 5:00 P.M. EST to discuss its third quarter 2020 financial results. Access to the call is available to the public at www.revloninc.com.

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.
