Revlon Reports 2015 Results and Changes in Senior Management

NEW YORK--()--Revlon, Inc. (NYSE:REV) today announced results for the year ended December 31, 2015.

This release presents the Company’s results using the following measures: U.S. GAAP (“As Reported”); and non-GAAP (“Adjusted”), which excludes certain non-operating items from As Reported results, as well as certain other unusual items identified by management that impact the comparability of the Company’s period-over-period results. As a result of the exclusion of these unusual items, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA has changed from that used in prior periods, and Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods presented in this release will be different from amounts reported in prior periods. See footnote (a) for further discussion of the Company’s non-GAAP and Adjusted measures. In addition, the Company analyzes and presents its results excluding the impact of foreign currency adjustments (“XFX”). Reconciliations of As Reported results to Adjusted results are provided as an attachment to this release.

Highlights for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 include:

  • Total Company net sales were $521.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a growth of 4.2%, or 9.8% on an XFX basis, over the quarter ended December 31, 2014 (the “prior year quarter”). On a full year basis, total Company net sales were $1,914.3 million in 2015, a decline of 1.4%, or a growth of 4.9% on an XFX basis.
  • Total Company Adjusted EBITDA1 was $125.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a growth of 16.4%, or 21.8% on an XFX basis, over the prior year quarter. On a full year basis, total Company Adjusted EBITDA was $377.5 million in 2015, a growth of 3.4%, or 7.0% on an XFX basis;
  • Total Company As Reported net income was $24.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, including the impact of $36.5 million of non-operating items, net of taxes. On a full year basis, As Reported net income was $56.1 million in 2015, including the impact of $47.3 million of non-operating items, net of taxes. The non-operating items for both periods included a pension lump-sum settlement charge of $20.7 million and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $9.7 million ($6.0 million after-tax). Excluding the non-operating items, Adjusted1 net income was $61.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of $56.3 million, and was $103.4 million in 2015, an increase of $43.1 million, or 71.5%.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Revlon President and Chief Executive Officer, Lorenzo Delpani, said “2015 ended with a very successful fourth quarter for both our Consumer and Professional segments. The Company has reinvigorated our key brands and increased our profitability. At the same time, we successfully integrated the Colomer business into the combined company and reduced our cost base. The Company has built strong momentum, we are in a more competitive position, and we have more resources to invest in our brands.”

In addition, Mr. Delpani informed the Board of Directors that he intends to step down as President and CEO effective March 1st for personal reasons. Mr. Delpani will continue to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors and as a paid advisor.

“It has been a pleasure and privilege to lead this extraordinary company during a period of transformation and growth. It has been my mission to continue Revlon’s industry leading commitment to quality and innovation and it is the Revlon team’s relentless drive towards those goals that has paved the way for our current and future success. I want to thank all my good friends and colleagues at Revlon and MacAndrews & Forbes for their hard work and support, and I look forward to continuing our partnership to grow the company we love,” Mr. Delpani said.

"On behalf of all of us at Revlon and MacAndrews & Forbes, I want to express our gratitude to Lorenzo for his hard work and dedication to our company. Through creativity and a commitment to innovation, Lorenzo helped guide Revlon through a successful period of integration and transformation that has led to the strong business growth we are now seeing. We are pleased that he is staying on with the Board and as an advisor,” said Revlon Chairman Ronald O. Perelman.

The Board of Directors also approved appointing current Executive Vice President and Global President, Revlon Consumer Division, Gianni Pieraccioni as the Company’s new Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Pieraccioni has served as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Global President – Revlon Consumer Division since February 2014.

During his long career, Mr. Pieraccioni held several general management, marketing and commercial positions of increasing scope and seniority within the CPG industry, including at U.S.-based companies such as The Procter & Gamble Company, PepsiCo, Johnson & Johnson, and at European firms such as Sector Group and Binda Group.

Full Year 2015 Results

On an XFX basis, Adjusted1 net sales in 2015 increased $102.8 million, or 5.3%, compared to 2014. The Company’s April 2015 acquisition of CBBeauty Group (“CBB” and the “CBB Acquisition,” respectively) contributed $28.4 million to total Company Adjusted net sales in 2015, with no comparable sales in 2014. On an As Reported basis, total Company net sales were $1,914.3 million in 2015, and $1,941.0 million in 2014. Venezuela had reported net sales of $1.0 million in 2015, compared to net sales of $16.3 million in 2014 as a result of the Company’s exit from Venezuela in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding Venezuela, total Company Adjusted1 net sales were $1,913.3 million in 2015, compared to $1,924.7 million in 2014. Foreign currency negatively impacted 2015 net sales by $114.2 million (adjusted to exclude the XFX impact in Venezuela).

As Reported earnings per diluted share was $1.07 in 2015 and $0.78 in 2014. On an Adjusted1 basis, earnings per diluted share was $1.97 in 2015, compared to $1.15 in 2014.

The above table provides information on an As Reported basis and, where indicated, on an XFX basis, and has not been adjusted for the unusual items discussed in footnote (a). Segment profit is defined in footnote (b) below. Effective in the second quarter of 2015, the Company identified a third reporting segment, Other, as a result of the CBB Acquisition. The results included within the Other segment include CBB’s operating results, which are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

Consumer Segment

On an XFX basis, Consumer segment net sales increased 3.7%, primarily driven by higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Mitchum anti-persipirant deodorants, Revlon ColorSilk hair color and Cutex nail products, partially offset by lower net sales of Almay color cosmetics. The Company’s exit from Venezuela in the second quarter of 2015 negatively impacted Consumer segment net sales. Excluding Venezuela, on an XFX basis, Consumer net sales would have increased by 4.4% in 2015 compared to 2014.

On an XFX basis, Consumer segment profit increased 8.8%, primarily driven by higher gross profit as a result of the XFX increases in net sales as discussed above, partially offset by $8.7 million of higher brand support expenses for the Company’s Consumer brands in 2015. The Company’s exit from Venezuela negatively impacted Consumer segment profit, which resulted in no Venezuela EBITDA in 2015, compared to $6.6 million in 2014. Excluding Venezuela, on an XFX basis, Consumer segment profit would have increased by 11.1% in 2015 compared to 2014.

Professional Segment

On an XFX basis, Professional segment net sales increased 2.4%, primarily due to higher net sales of American Crew men’s grooming products, Revlon Professional hair products and Creme of Nature hair products, partially offset by lower net sales of CND nail products in the U.S.

On an XFX basis, Professional segment profit increased 2.7%, primarily driven by higher gross profit as a result of the XFX increases in net sales as discussed above, partially offset by $5.1 million of higher brand support expenses for the Company’s Professional brands in 2015. In addition, Professional segment profit in 2014 included a favorable adjustment of $3.4 million related to a decrease in the inventory obsolescence reserve, with no similar adjustment in 2015. Excluding this unusual adjustment, on an XFX basis, Professional segment profit would have increased by 6.1% in 2015 compared to 2014.

The above table provides information on an As Reported basis and, where indicated, on an XFX basis, and has not been adjusted for the unusual items discussed in footnote (a).

United States

Total Company U.S. net sales during 2015 increased $21.8 million, or 2.1%. Net sales in the U.S. increased $33.4 million in the Consumer segment, primarily driven by higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Mitchum anti-persipirant deodorants and Revlon ColorSilk hair color, partially offset by lower net sales of Almay color cosmetics. Net sales in the U.S. decreased $11.6 million in the Professional segment primarily due to lower net sales of CND nail products.

International

On an XFX basis, International net sales in 2015 increased $72.7 million, or 7.9%, as a result of higher net sales in both the Consumer and Professional segments. International net sales increased $20.6 million on an XFX basis in the Consumer segment primarily due to higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics and Mitchum anti-persipirant deodorants. International net sales increased $23.7 million on an XFX basis in the Professional segment primarily due to higher net sales of American Crew men’s grooming products and Revlon Professional hair products. From a geographic perspective, the increase in international net sales on an XFX basis was throughout most of the Company’s International region. The Other segment had net sales of $28.4 million in 2015, with no comparable net sales in 2014. Excluding Venezuela, on an XFX basis, International net sales would have increased by 9.0% in 2015.

Net Income 56.1 40.9 37.2% -
Adjusted Net Income 103.4 60.3 71.5% -
 

On an XFX basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased $25.4 million, or 7.0%. This increase was primarily due to higher gross profit in both the Consumer and Professional segments, partially offset by $16.2 million of higher brand support expenses, as well as higher general and administrative expenses. Driving the increase in general and administrative expenses was $14.7 million of severance costs.

In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, adjustments were made to the calculation of EBITDA for the following non-operating items:

  • Pension settlement accounting charge of $20.7 million in 2015 as a result of offering a one-time lump sum pension payout option to certain U.S. plan participants (see below for further discussion);
  • Non-cash impairment charge of $9.7 million in 2015, consisting of a portion of the Global Color Brands reporting unit’s goodwill (see below for further discussion);
  • Restructuring and related charges of $11.6 million in 2015 and $22.6 million in 2014;
  • Acquisition and integration costs of $8.0 million in 2015 and $6.4 million in 2014;
  • Non-cash stock compensation of $5.1 million in 2015 and $5.5 million in 2014;
  • Deferred consideration of $2.5 million for the CBB Acquisition recognized in 2015; and
  • An unfavorable inventory purchase accounting adjustment of $0.9 million in 2015 related to the CBB Acquisition and other business acquisitions, and $2.6 million in 2014 related to the Colomer Acquisition.

As further reflected in the footnotes to this release, to enhance the comparability of the period-over-period results, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company further adjusted its EBITDA results for the following items:

  • A favorable adjustment of $3.4 million in 2014 related to a decrease in the Company’s inventory obsolescence reserve; and
  • Venezuela EBITDA of nil in 2015, compared to $6.6 million in 2014.

The As Reported net income includes certain non-operating items that are reconciled in the tables to this release. Excluding these items, Adjusted1 net income was $103.4 million in 2015, compared to Adjusted net income of $60.3 million in 2014, an increase of $43.1 million, or 71.5%. The increase in Adjusted net income was primarily driven by the growth in Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a $24.2 million decrease in the provision for income taxes in 2015 (adjusted for the tax effect of the non-operating excluded from Adjusted net income) primarily due to the net reduction of a valuation allowance in certain foreign jurisdictions in 2015, compared to the establishment of a valuation allowance in 2014.

Pension Lump Sum Offering

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company offered certain former employees who had vested benefits in the Company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (the Revlon Employees’ Retirement Plan) the option of receiving the present value of the participant’s pension benefit in a one-time cash lump sum payment. Based on the participants’ acceptance of that offer, $53.4 million was paid from the plan’s assets to settle $66.9 million of pension liabilities, resulting in a $13.5 million net reduction of the Company’s pension plan liabilities in 2015. In addition, the Company recorded a charge of $20.7 million as a result of the pension lump sum settlement accounting within costs of sales ($10.5 million) and SG&A expense ($10.2 million) in 2015. This charge was the result of accelerating a portion of the losses that were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which are required to be recognized in the period in which the related pension plan liabilities were settled.

Non-Cash Impairment Charge

For purposes of the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company’s Pure Ice nail enamel brand, which was acquired in July 2012, is included within the Company’s Global Color Brands reporting unit. Despite improvements in the net sales of Pure Ice nail enamel in 2015 and the realization of margin improvements by integrating the production of Pure Ice nail enamel within the Company's existing manufacturing processes, the Company continued to experience declines in the promotional activity for the Pure Ice brand at retailers. As a result, in conjunction with the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded a $9.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge during the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the Company’s expectations regarding the future performance of the Global Color Brands reporting unit in relation to its carrying amount.

Cash Flow for the Full Year Period

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2015 was $155.3 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $174.0 million in the same period last year, representing a decrease of $18.7 million. Free cash flow1 in 2015 was $113.2 million, compared to $121.9 million in 2014, representing a decrease of $8.7 million. The decreases in cash from operating activities and free cash flow were primarily driven by higher inventory, partially offset by less cash used in discontinued operations, as well as lower payments for restructuring in 2015 compared to 2014.

Fourth Quarter 2015 Results

On an XFX basis, Adjusted net sales increased $51.1 million, or 10.2%. The Company’s April 2015 CBB Acquisition contributed $15.2 million to total Company Adjusted net sales in the fourth quarter of 2015, with no comparable net sales in the fourth quarter of 2014. On an As Reported basis, total Company net sales were $521.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $501.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Adjusted net sales in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $521.8 million, compared to $498.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Adjusted net sales excludes from As Reported net sales the impact of the results of the Company’s Venezuela business operations, with net sales of $0.1 million and $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

United States

Total Company U.S. net sales during the fourth quarter of 2015 increased $4.6 million, or 1.7%. Net sales in the U.S. increased $4.2 million in the Consumer segment, primarily driven by higher net sales of Revlon and SinfulColors color cosmetics and Mitchum anti-persipirant deodorants, partially offset by lower net sales of Revlon ColorSilk hair color.

From a geographic perspective, the increase in International net sales on an XFX basis was throughout most of the Company’s International region. The Other segment had net sales of $15.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, with no comparable net sales in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Net Income 24.8 2.7 N.M. -
Adjusted Net Income 61.3 5.0 N.M. -
 

On an XFX basis, Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by $23.5 million, or 21.8%. This increase was primarily due to $19.6 million of lower brand support expenses and higher gross profit in both the Consumer and Professional segments in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, as discussed above, partially offset by higher general and administrative costs. Driving the increase in general and administrative expenses was $7.7 million of severance costs, as well as higher incentive compensation expenses, mostly due to the phasing of the Company’s incentive compensation accrual in 2015 compared to the prior year period.

In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, adjustments were made for the following non-operating items:

  • Pension settlement accounting charge of $20.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 as a result of offering a one-time lump sum pension payout option to certain U.S. plan participants;
  • Non-cash impairment charge of $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 consisting of a portion of the Global Color Brands reporting unit’s goodwill;
  • Restructuring and related charges of $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily related to the 2015 Efficiency Program(d), and $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily related to the Integration Program;
  • Acquisition and integration costs of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014;
  • Non-cash stock compensation of $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014;
  • Deferred consideration of $0.9 million for the CBB Acquisition recognized in the fourth quarter of 2015; and
  • An unfavorable inventory purchase accounting adjustment of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 related to other business acquisitions.

As further reflected in the footnotes to this release, to enhance the comparability of the period-over-period results, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company further adjusted its EBITDA results to exclude Venezuela EBITDA of $(0.1) million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, due to the Company’s exit of its Venezuela business operations in the second quarter of 2015.

The As Reported net income includes certain non-operating items that are reconciled in the tables to this release. Excluding these items, Adjusted1 net income was $61.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to Adjusted net income of $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of $56.3 million. The increase in Adjusted net income was driven by a $50.9 million decrease in the provision for income taxes (adjusted for the tax effect of the non-operating items excluded from Adjusted net income) primarily due to the net reduction of a valuation allowance in certain foreign jurisdictions in Q4 2015, compared to the establishment of a valuation allowance in Q4 2014. As Reported earnings per diluted share was $0.47 in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $0.05 in the fourth quarter of 2014. On an Adjusted1 basis, earnings per diluted share was $1.17 in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $0.10 in the fourth quarter of 2014.

2015 Results and Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call with members of the investment community on February 26, 2016 at 9:30 A.M. EST to discuss 2015 results. Access to the call is available to the public at www.revloninc.com.

Footnotes to Press Release

(a) Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Adjusted net sales; EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted net income; Adjusted diluted earnings per share; and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables (except that Adjusted net sales is reconciled directly in the text of the press release).

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”). To reflect the impact of non-cash stock 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 Company presents Adjusted EBITDA to exclude these Non-Operating Items and to exclude the impact of certain unusual items impacting the comparability of the Company’s period-over-period results as seen through the eyes of management (the “Unusual Items”). The following tables identify the Non-Operating and Unusual Items excluded in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA for all periods:

Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the after-tax impact of the Non-Operating Items and Unusual Items, as well as loss on early extinguishment of debt and the foreign currency loss related to the re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheets.

The Company excludes the EBITDA Exclusions, Non-Operating Items and Unusual Items, as applicable, in calculating 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 these items do not facilitate an understanding of the Company's underlying operating performance.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, plus proceeds from the sale of certain assets. 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 Adjusted net sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow as operating performance measures (in conjunction with GAAP 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 and bonuses; (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 Adjusted net sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow are useful to investors to provide them with disclosures of the Company's operating results on the same basis as that used by management. Additionally, management believes that Adjusted net sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share provide useful information to investors about the performance of the Company's overall business because such measures eliminate the effects of unusual or other infrequent charges that are not directly attributable to the Company's underlying operating performance. Additionally, management believes that providing these 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 repayment 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 Adjusted net sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, are useful financial analysis 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. Adjusted net sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for their respective most directly comparable As Reported measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income/loss, operating income, diluted earnings per share or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Other companies may define such non-GAAP measures differently. Also, while EBITDA is defined differently than Adjusted EBITDA for the Company's credit agreement, certain financial covenants in its borrowing arrangements are tied to similar 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 Consumer, Professional and Other segments, excluding the EBITDA Exclusions. Segment profit also excludes unallocated corporate expenses and 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). Unallocated corporate expenses primarily relate to general and administrative expenses related to the corporate administrative organization. These expenses are recorded in unallocated corporate expenses as these items are centrally directed and controlled. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales.

(c) During the second quarter of 2015, the Company removed pension-related costs from the measurement of its reportable segment results. As a result, $2.0 million and $8.2 million in pension-related costs were reclassified from the measurement of the Consumer segment profit for the quarter ended and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and have been included as a component of unallocated corporate expenses for such periods.

(d) The 2015 Efficiency Program includes certain restructuring actions to drive certain organizational efficiencies across the Company’s Consumer and Professional segments, and is expected to be completed by 2017. The Company will recognize a total of approximately $10.1 million of restructuring and related charges for the 2015 Efficiency Program by the end of 2017, of which $9.5 million were recognized in 2015. By implementing the 2015 Efficiency Program, the Company expects to achieve annualized cost reductions of approximately $10.0 million to $15.0 million by the end of 2018, with approximately $3.0 million of cost reductions realized in 2015 results. Refer to Revlon, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016 for further information.
