The Company's Business Strategy for Value Creation
Our strategy is based on three key pillars:
Strengthen Our Portfolio of Brands. The Company intends to continue to develop the leadership and aspiration for our flagship brands; Revlon, Elizabeth Arden and Almay. The Company is continuing to develop our product offerings across beauty segments with a focus on large and/or fast growing categories. We are leveraging our creativity, insights and agility to accelerate innovation to develop trend-relevant and first-of-its kind beauty solutions. We aim to delight our customers with high performing products, superior services and unique experiences that exceed their expectations. And we will continue to communicate our brands' heritage, expertise and purpose to create authentic, meaningful and lasting connections with consumers of all ages.
Strategically Expand Consumer's Access to Our Brands. The Company is taking steps to ensure that consumers have real-time access to our brands wherever and however they shop for beauty. We are strengthening and diversifying our channels, especially direct to consumer. We are accelerating our development in high-growth channels, with a focus on specialty, e-commerce and m-commerce. Our goal is to continue to win in traditional channels (including mass, drug, selective and department stores) and expand our combined reach into travel retail. The Company is taking actions to strengthen its position in the U.S., to ensure our growth base and expand into untapped geographic regions, with a focus on growth in Asia.
Develop a Cost Structure That Fuels Investment in Our Brands. The Company aims to grow profitably, improve our operating performance and align our strategic investments behind the biggest growth opportunities and innovation that differentiates our brands. We continue to improve our category mix by shifting toward higher gross margin categories (e.g., skin care and fragrance) and we aim to reduce sales returns, markdowns and inventory levels. Our objective is to continue to optimize our resource allocation.
Changes in consumer shopping patterns for beauty products in which consumers have continued to increasingly engage with beauty brands through e-commerce and other social media channels have resulted in slower retail traffic in brick-and-mortar stores in the mass retail channel in North America. This shift in consumer behavior has resulted in continuing declines in the brick-and-mortar retail channel that the Company expects will persist over time. To address the pace and impact of this new commercial landscape, the Company has shifted some of its brand marketing spend toward enhancing its e-commerce and social media capabilities to ensure that consumers have real-time access to our brands wherever and however they shop for beauty and facilitate increased penetration of e-commerce and social media channels.
The Company believes that its renewed focus on e-commerce and its evolving marketing and sales initiatives will support the foundation for driving a successful long-term omni-channel strategy and significantly increase its e-commerce penetration. In July 2017, the Company appointed Grey as its new global creative agency of record to provide integrated communications services, including traditional and digital advertising and promotion and activation marketing for the Company’s brands, including Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Almay, CND, Cutex and SinfulColors, along with many of its key fragrance brands, including Charlie, Britney Spears, Curve, Tapout and Elizabeth Taylor. To drive its digital transformation, the Company engaged Sapient Razorfish during the third quarter of 2017 to assist the Company on the following e-commerce initiatives: (i) developing and implementing effective

Consumer Segment
Third quarter results:
Consumer segment net sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $306.7 million, a $36.1 million or 10.5% decrease, compared to $342.8 million in the third quarter of 2016. Excluding the $1.4 million favorable FX impact, total Consumer net sales in the third quarter of 2017 decreased by $37.5 million, or 10.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2016. This decrease was primarily driven by continuing consumption declines in core beauty categories in the mass retail channel in North America, inventory de-stocking by certain retail customers and higher sales returns and incentives, which had a negative impact on net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Almay color cosmetics and SinfulColors color cosmetics, partially offset by strong sales growth internationally for Revlon color cosmetics.
Consumer segment profit in the third quarter of 2017 was $33.0 million, a $48.0 million, or 59.3%, decrease, as compared to $81.0 million in the third quarter of 2016. This decrease was primarily driven by lower gross profit as a result of the net sales declines in North America, higher sales returns and incentives, as well as higher brand support.
Year-to-date results:
Consumer segment net sales in the first nine months of 2017 were $932.8 million, a $89.5 million or 8.8% decrease, compared to $1,022.3 million in the first nine months of 2016. Excluding the $2.6 million unfavorable FX impact, total Consumer net sales in the first nine months of 2017 decreased by $86.9 million, or 8.5%, compared to the first nine months of 2016. This decrease was primarily driven by continuing consumption declines in core beauty categories in the mass retail channel in North America, which had a negative impact on net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Almay color cosmetics and SinfulColors color cosmetics, as well as higher sales returns and incentives. These net sales decreases were partially offset by continued net sales growth internationally for Revlon color cosmetics.
Consumer segment profit in the first nine months of 2017 was $134.5 million, a $85.9 million, or 39.0%, decrease, as compared to $220.4 million in the first nine months of 2016. Excluding the $0.6 million unfavorable FX impact, Consumer segment profit in the first nine months of 2017 decreased by $85.3 million, or 38.7%, compared to the first nine months of 2016. This decrease was primarily driven by lower gross profit as a result of the net sales declines in North America and higher sales returns and incentives, partially offset by lower brand support expenses.
Elizabeth Arden Segment
Third quarter and Year-to-date results:
The Elizabeth Arden segment is comprised of the operations that the Company acquired in the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, which closed on September 7, 2016. As such, the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflect only amounts for the partial period of September 7, 2016 through September 30, 2016. Therefore, an analysis of net sales and segment profit for the Elizabeth Arden segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 is not included in this Form 10-Q, as the Company does not have full comparable prior period net sales or segment profit for the Elizabeth Arden segment.
Professional Segment
Third quarter results:
Professional segment net sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $107.0 million, a $11.8 million or 9.9% decrease, as compared to $118.8 million in the third quarter of 2016. Excluding the $2.8 million favorable FX impact, total Professional segment net sales in the third quarter of 2017 decreased by $14.6 million, or 12.3%, as compared to the third quarter of 2016. This decrease was driven primarily by continued net sales declines of CND nail products, as well as American Crew men's grooming products, as the Company continues its efforts to manage trade inventory for the American Crew brand.
Professional segment profit in the third quarter of 2017 was $18.9 million, a $4.8 million or 20.3% decrease, as compared to $23.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. This decrease was primarily driven by lower gross profit as a result of declines in net sales, partially offset by lower brand support expenses.
Year-to-date results:
Professional segment net sales in the first nine months of 2017 were $320.4 million, a $36.8 million or 10.3% decrease, as compared to $357.2 million in the first nine months of 2016.

Professional segment profit in the first nine months of 2017 was $44.5 million, a $28.9 million or 39.4% decrease, as compared to $73.4 million in the first nine months of 2016, primarily driven by the lower net sales, partially offset by lower brand support expenses.

The Company’s cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans in the first ninethree months of 2017ended March 31, 2022 were $5.8$2.2 million. The Company expects that cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans towill be approximately $10$8.8 million in the aggregate for 2017.2022. The Company’s cash taxes paid, net of refunds,refund in the first ninethree months of 2017ended March 31, 2022 were $11.1$0.5 million. The Company expects to pay net cash taxes oftotaling approximately $10$0 million to $15$10 million in the aggregate during 2017. 2022.
The Company’s purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures in the first ninethree months of 2017ended March 31, 2022 were $37.3$4.2 million and $69.5$2.3 million, respectively. The Company expects that purchases of permanent wall displays to bewill total approximately $65$35 million to $75$40 million in the aggregate during 20172022 and expects that capital expenditures to bewill total approximately $100$15 million to $120$20 million in 2017. Capital expenditures for 2017 include approximately $50 million of expected spend for the EA Integration Restructuring Program, $22 million of which were incurred through September 30, 2017.
As a result of the EA Integration Restructuring Program, as well as other actions that the Company is continuing to evaluate related to integrating the Elizabeth Arden organization into the Company’s business, such as through the elimination of duplicative functions, leveraging purchasing scale and optimizing the manufacturing and distribution networks of the combined company, the Company currently expects to realize over a multi-year period annualized synergies and cost reductions of approximately $190 million, with approximately $55 million to $60 million of synergies and cost reductions from the EA Integration Restructuring Program expected to benefit 2017. In order to capture these annualized cost reductions, the Company anticipates that it will incur, over a multi-year period, approximately $100 million to $110 million of additional integration-related capital expenditures and approximately $70 million to $80 million of non-restructuring integration costs. Any of these actions, the intended purpose of which would be to create value through improving the Company's financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities. Any such activities may be funded with cash on hand, funds available under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company’s total debt.aggregate during 2022.
The Company has undertaken, and continues to assess, refine and implement, a number of programs to efficiently manage its working capital, including, among other things, initiatives intended to optimize inventory levels over time; centralized procurement to secure discounts and efficiencies; prudent management of trade receivables and accounts payable; and controls on general and administrative spending. In the ordinary course of business, the Company’s source or use of cash from operating activities may vary on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of working capital flows.
Continuing to execute the Company’s business strategyinitiatives could include taking advantage of additional opportunities to reposition, repackage or reformulate one or more brands or product lines, launching additional new products, acquiring businesses or brands (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories), further refining the Company’s approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure, including optimizing the Colomer Acquisition, the Cutex Acquisitions and/or the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition.structure. Any of these actions, the intended purpose of which would be to create value through improving the Company's financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities. Any such activities may be funded with operating revenues, cash on hand, funds that may be available from time to time under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, other permissible borrowings and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company’s total debt.
The Company may also, from time-to-time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt obligations and/or equity in open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated purchase transactions or otherwise and may seek to refinance some or all of its indebtedness based upon market conditions. Any such retirement or purchase of debt and/or equity may be funded with operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material.
TheThe Company expects that operating revenues, cash on handand funds that may be available from time-to-time for borrowing under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of creditother permissible borrowings will be sufficient to enable the Company to pay its operating expenses for 2017,2022, including expenses in connection with executing the Company’s business strategy, payments in connection with the Company's synergy and integration programs related to the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, purchasespurchase of permanent wall displays, capital expenditures, debt service payments and costs, cash tax payments, pension and other post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs, business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any,such as, currently, primarily the RGGA program, severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, business and/or brand acquisitions
(including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any, debt and/or equity repurchases, if any, costs related to litigation, discontinuing non-core business lines and/or entering and/or exiting certain territories and/or channels of trade. The Company also expects to generate additional liquidity from strategic initiatives and cost reductions resulting from the implementation of, currently, primarily the RGGA program, cost reductions generated from other cost control initiatives, price increases, as well as funds provided by selling certain assets in connection with the Company's ongoing Strategic Review.
There can be no assurance that available funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements on a consolidated basis, as, among other things, the Company’s liquidity can be impacted by a number of factors, including its level of sales, costs and expenditures. expenditures, as well as accounts receivable and inventory, which serve as the principal variables impacting the amount of liquidity available under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. For example, subject to certain exceptions, revolving loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and term loans under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility must be prepaid to the extent that outstanding loans exceed the applicable borrowing base, consisting of certain accounts receivable, inventory and real estate. For information regarding certain risks related to the Company’s indebtedness and cash flows, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company's 2021 Form 10-K.
If the Company’s anticipated level of revenues is not achieved because of, among other things, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products in one or more of the Company's segments; segments, whether attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic 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 and/or decreased performance by third party suppliers;third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or sales channels, such as due to the continuingany further consumption declines in core beauty categories inthat the mass retail channel in North America, which continues to have a negative impact on net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Almay color cosmetics, SinfulColors color cosmetics and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products;Company has experienced; inventory management and/or de-stocking by the Company's customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; retail store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; or less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for synergy and integration programs related to the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition,purchase of permanent displays, capital expenditures, debt service payments and costs, cash tax payments, pension and other post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring andprograms (such as the RGGA Program), severance costs, acquisition and integration costs,not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any, additional debt and/or equity repurchases, if any, costs related to litigation, discontinuing non-core business lines and/or entering and/or exiting certain territories and/or channels of trade, advertising, promotional and marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s current sources of funds may be insufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements.
Any such developments, if significant, could reduce the Company’s revenues and operating income and could adversely affect Products Corporation’s ability to comply with certain financial and/or other covenants under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, 2016 Credit Agreements, the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture and/or the Senior Notes Indentures2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and in such event the Company could be required to take measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending. (See Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in Products Corporation's 2016 Form 10-K forFor further discussion of certain risks associated with the Company's business and indebtedness.)
Derivative Financial Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
Products Corporation enters into foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts from time-to-time to hedge certain net cash flows denominatedindebtedness, see Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations. The FX Contracts are entered into primarily for the purpose of hedging anticipated inventory purchases and certain intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year. At September 30, 2017, the FX Contracts outstanding had a notional amount of $162.5 million and a net liability fair value of $2.4 million.
Interest Rate Swap Transaction
In November 2013, Products Corporation executed a forward-starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction (the "2013 Interest Rate Swap") that, at its inception, was basedthis Quarterly Report on a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under the Old Acquisition Term Loan. The 2013 Interest Rate Swap initially had a floor of 1% that in December 2016 was amended to 0.75%. In connection with entering into the 2016 Term Loan Facility, the 2013 Interest Swap was carried over to apply to a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under such loan for the remaining balance of the term of such swap. The Company initially designated the 2013 Interest Rate Swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to the $400 million notional amount under the Old Acquisition Term Loan over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap (and subsequently to the $400 million notional amount under the 2016 Term Loan Facility for the remaining balance of the term of such swap). Under the terms of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, commencing in May 2015, Products Corporation receives from the counterparty a floating interest rate based on the higher of three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR or the floor percentage in effect, while paying a fixed interest rate payment to the counterparty equal to 2.0709% (which, with respect to the 2016 Term Loan Facility, effectively fixes the interest rate on such notional amount at 5.5709% over the remaining balance of the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap). At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was a liability of $1.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
As a result of completely refinancing the Old Acquisition Term Loan with a portion of the proceeds from Products Corporation's consummation of the 2016 Senior Credit FacilitiesForm 10-Q and the 6.25% Senior Notes in connection with consummating the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, the critical terms of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap no longer matched the terms of the underlying debt under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. At the refinancing date, or the September 7, 2016 Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date (the "De-designation Date"), the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was determined to no longer be highly effective and the Company discontinued hedge accounting for the 2013 Interest Rate Swap. Following the de-designation of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, changes in fair value are accounted for as a component of other non-operating expenses. Accumulated deferred losses of $2.1 million, or $1.2 million net of tax, at September 30, 2017 that were previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss will be amortized into earnings over the remaining term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap through its maturity.
Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties is limited to the gross fair value of the derivative instruments in asset positions, which totaled $0.5 million and $2.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company attempts to minimize exposure to credit risk by generally entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings and are major financial institutions. The Company also periodically monitors any changes in the credit ratings of its counterparties. Given the current credit standing of the counterparties to the Company's derivative instruments, the Company believes the risk of loss arising from any non-performance by any of the counterparties under these derivative instruments is remote.
Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

At September 30, 2017, the interest rate for the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was 2.9% per annum, which is based on the Eurodollar Rate plus applicable margin as defined in the Products Corporations 2016 Form 10-K. |
If anyAt September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was a liability of $1.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

changes in fair value will be accounted for as a component of other non-operating expenses. Accumulated deferred losses of $2.1 million, or $1.2 million net of tax, at September 30, 2017 that were previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss will be amortized to earnings over the remaining term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap through its maturity.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
The Company manufactures and sells its products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, a portion of the Company's borrowings are denominated in foreign currencies, which are also subject to market risk associated with exchange rate movement. The Company, from time-to-time, hedges major foreign currency cash exposures through foreign exchange forward and option contracts. Products Corporation enters into these contracts with major financial institutions in an attempt to minimize counterparty risk. These contracts generally have a duration of less than 12 months and are primarily against the U.S. Dollar. In addition, Products Corporation enters into foreign currency swaps to hedge intercompany financing transactions. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, as well as the Company's other public documents and statements, may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions, forecasts, plans, anticipations, targets, outlooks, initiatives, visions, objectives, strategies, opportunities, drivers, focus and intents of the Company’sCompany's management. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, the Company cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known and unknown factors, and, of course, it is impossible for the Company to anticipate all factors that could affect its results.

| |
(ii) | the effect on sales of decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products in one or more of the Company's segments; adverse changes in 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 and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or among sales channels, such as due to the continuing consumption declines in core beauty categories in the mass retail channel in North America; inventory management by the Company's customers; inventory de-stocking by certain retail customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for pension expense under its benefit plans, acquisition and acquisition-related integration costs, capital expenditures, costs related to the Company’s synergy and integration programs in connection with the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, restructuring and severance costs, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and marketing activities, or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses; |
| |
(iii) | the Company's belief that the continued execution of its business strategy could include taking advantage of additional opportunities to reposition, repackage or reformulate one or more brands or product lines, launching additional new products, acquiring businesses or brands (including through licensing transactions, if any), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories), further refining its approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure, including optimizing the Colomer Acquisition, the Cutex Acquisitions (including the Company's belief that such acquisition enhances and complements the Company's existing brand portfolio of nail care products) and/or the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition, any of which, the intended purpose would be to create value through improving the Company's financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities, which activities may be funded with cash on hand, funds available under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company’s total debt; |
| |
(iv) | the Company’s belief that it is building a combined organization that is entrepreneurial, agile and boldly creative, with a passion for beauty, that it has strategic brand builders developing a diverse portfolio of iconic brands that delight consumers around the world wherever and however they shop for beauty and that it strives to be an ethical company that values inclusive leadership and is committed to sustainable and responsible growth and the Company’s belief in its strategy that is based on three key pillars: (a) strengthening our portfolio of brandsby:continuing to develop the leadership and aspiration for our flagship brands; Revlon, Elizabeth Arden and Almay; continuing to develop our product offerings across beauty segments with a focus on large and/or fast growing categories; leveraging our creativity, insights and agility to accelerate innovation to develop trend-relevant and first-of-its kind beauty solutions; delighting our customers with high performing products, superior services and unique experiences that exceed their expectations; and continuing to communicate our brand's heritage, expertise and purpose to create authentic, meaningful and lasting connections with consumers of all ages; (b) strategically expanding consumer's access to our brands by: taking steps to ensure that consumers have real-time access to our brands wherever and however they shop for beauty; strengthening and diversifying our channels, especially direct to consumer; accelerating our development in high-growth channels, with a focus on specialty, e-commerce and m-commerce; continuing to win in traditional channels (including mass, drug, selective and department stores) and expanding our combined reach into travel retail; and strengthening our position in the U.S., to ensure our growth base, and expanding into untapped geographic regions, with a focus on growth in Asia; and (c) developing a cost structure that fuels investment in our brands by: growing profitably and improving our operating performance; aligning our strategic investments behind the biggest growth opportunities and innovation that differentiates our brands; continuing to improve our category mix by shifting toward higher gross margin categories (e.g., skin care and fragrance); reducing sales returns, markdowns and inventory levels; and continuing to optimize our resource allocation;

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period.
As previously disclosed, following the announcement of the execution of the Elizabeth Arden Merger Agreement, several putative shareholder class action lawsuits and a derivative lawsuit were filed challenging the Merger.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the complaints filedother information in this Quarterly Report on behalfForm 10-Q, when evaluating the Company’s business investors should consider carefully the below risk factors which have been updated since the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.
The risk factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q below should be carefully considered, including the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and other risks discussed in our 2021 Form 10-K. These risks could materially and adversely affect our results, operations, outlooks, plans, goals, growth, reputation, cash flows, liquidity, and stock price. Our business also could be affected by risks that we are not presently aware of plaintiffs Parker, Christiansen, Rossor that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.
Risks Related to the Company's Indebtedness
Products Corporation’s substantial indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s operations and Stein, on July 25,flexibility and Products Corporation’s ability to service its debt.
Products Corporation has a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total third-party indebtedness was $3,520.9 million (or $3,423.4 million, including future interest and net of discounts and debt issuance costs), including: (i) $1,873.2 million in aggregate principal amount under the 2020 BrandCo Facilities; (ii) $872.4 million in aggregate principal amount of secured indebtedness under its 2016 a lawsuit (Hutson v. Elizabeth Arden, Inc., et al., Case No. CACE-16-013566) (referredTerm Loan Facility; (iii) $138.0 million of secured indebtedness under its Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, consisting of $88.0 million of Tranche A revolving loans and $50.0 million of 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans; (iv) $130.0 million of loans under the senior secured second-in, second-out term loan facility under the SISO Term Loan Facility; (v) $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of secured indebtedness under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility; (vi) $431.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% Senior Notes and (vii) $1.0 million in aggregate principal amount of other short-term borrowings indebtedness.
If the Company is unable to asmaintain or increase its profitability and cash flow and sustain such results in future periods, the “Hutson complaint”) was filedCompany’s operations and Products Corporation’s ability to service its debt and/or comply with the financial and/or operating covenants under its various debt instruments could be adversely affected. (See also "Risk Factors - Restrictions and covenants in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuitvarious debt instruments of the Company’s subsidiaries limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.")
The Company is subject to the risks normally associated with substantial indebtedness, including the risk that the Company’s profitability and cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest under Products Corporation’s various debt instruments, and the risk that Products Corporation will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness when it becomes due or, if it is unable to comply with the financial or operating covenants under its various debt instruments, to obtain any necessary consents, waivers or amendments or that the terms of any such refinancing and/or consents, waivers or amendments will be less favorable than the current terms of such indebtedness. Products Corporation’s substantial indebtedness could also have the effect of:
•limiting the Company’s ability to fund (including by obtaining additional financing) the costs and expenses of executing the Company’s business initiatives in the short-term and long-term, future working capital, capital expenditures, advertising, promotional and/or marketing expenses, new product development costs, purchases and reconfigurations of wall displays, acquisitions, and related integration costs, investments, restructuring programs and other general corporate purposes;
•requiring the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on Products Corporation’s indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of the Company’s cash flow necessary for executing the Company’s business initiatives in the short-term and long-term and for Broward County, Florida (the “Court”) against Elizabeth Arden,other general corporate purposes;
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
•placing the membersCompany at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that have less debt;
•exposing the Company to potential events of default (if not cured or waived) under the board of directors of Elizabeth Arden, Revlon,financial and operating covenants contained in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments;
•limiting the Company’s flexibility in responding to changes in its business and the industry in which it operates;
•reducing the Company’s negotiating power and flexibility in dealings with important customers and suppliers, potentially putting pressure on the Company’s ability to obtain advantageous delivery, supply and/or pricing terms; and
•making the Company more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions, such as a tightening in the credit markets, rising interest rates, or a downturn in its business.
Although agreements governing Products Corporation’s indebtedness, including the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture and the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, limit Products Corporation’s ability to borrow funds, under certain circumstances, Products Corporation is allowed to borrow a significant amount of additional money, some of which, in certain circumstances and Acquisition Sub. In general, the Hutson complaint alleges that: (i) the members of Elizabeth Arden’s board of directors breached their fiduciary dutiessubject to Elizabeth Arden’s shareholders with respect to the Merger, by, among other things, approving the Merger pursuant to an unfair process and at an inadequate and unfair price; and (ii) Revlon, Products Corporation and Acquisition Sub aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duty by the members of Elizabeth Arden’s board. The plaintiff seeks relief similar to that sought in the Parker case.
By Order dated August 4, 2016, all five cases were consolidated by the Court into a Consolidated Amended Class Action. Thereafter, on August 11, 2016 a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint was filed, seeking to enjoin defendants from consummating the Merger and/or from soliciting shareholder votes.certain limitations, could be secured indebtedness. To the extent that more debt, whether secured or unsecured, is added to the Merger was consummated,Company’s current debt levels, the risks described above would increase further.
Products Corporation’s ability to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness depends on many factors.
The Tranche A revolving loans and the SISO Term Loan Facility under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility mature in May 2024, subject to a springing maturity to the earlier of: (x) 91 days prior to the maturity of the 2016 Term Loan Facility, and (y) to the extent the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans are then outstanding, the earliest stated maturity of the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans; the non-extended portion of the 2016 Term Loan Facility matures no later than September 2023; the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans mature no later than December 2023; the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility matures no later than March 2024; and the 6.25% Senior Notes mature in August 2024. Also, while the 2020 BrandCo Facilities are scheduled to mature no later than June 2025, they are subject to a springing maturity on the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 6.25% Senior Notes if $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remain outstanding by such date. Additionally, while the extended portion of the 2016 Term Loan Facility (such certain extended portion, the “Extended Term Loans”) are scheduled to mature no later than June 2025, they are subject to a springing maturity to the earlier of (y) the same September 2023 springing maturity date of any non-extended term loans under Products Corporation’s existing 2016 Term Loan Facility if $75 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility remains outstanding on such date, and (z) the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 6.25% Senior Notes if $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remain outstanding by such date. And, while the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility matures no later than March 2024, it is subject to a springing maturity date of August 1, 2023 if any amount of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility remains outstanding on such date. For a more complete description of the maturities of these debt instruments, including events that could accelerate their respective maturities, see Note 8, “Debt,” to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint seeks to rescind the Merger or recover rescissory or other compensatory damages, along with costs and fees. The grounds for relief set forthFinancial Statements included in the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint2021 Form 10-K. Products Corporation currently anticipates that, in large part track those grounds as assertedorder to pay the principal amount of its outstanding indebtedness upon the occurrence of any event of default, or to repurchase any of the 6.25% Senior Notes if a change of control occurs, or in the five individual complaints, as previously disclosed. Class counsel advisedevent that post consummationProducts Corporation’s cash flows from operations are insufficient to allow it to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness by their respective maturity dates, the Merger they were goingCompany will be required to file a Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint. The Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (which supersededrefinance some or all of Products Corporation’s indebtedness, seek to sell assets or operations, seek to sell additional Revlon equity, seek to sell debt securities of Revlon or Products Corporation and/or seek additional capital contributions or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes or from the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint) was ultimately filed on Company’s other affiliates and/or about January 26, 2017. Like the Consolidated Amended Class Action complaint, the grounds for relief set forth in the Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint in large part track those grounds as asserted in the five individual complaints.
third parties. The Company believes the allegations contained in the Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. Additional lawsuits arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement or the Merger may be filedunable to take any of these actions due to a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments, including, for example, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance, additional capital contributions or loans not being available from affiliates and/or third parties, or that the future. The defendants' motions to dismisstransactions may not be permitted under the Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint were filed on March 28, 2017. Plaintiffs' response was filed on June 6, 2017 and defendants' replies were filed on July 13, 2017. A hearingterms of Products Corporation’s various debt instruments then in effect, including restrictions on the defendants' motionincurrence of additional debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and/or related party transactions included in such debt instruments.

case may be. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likelyfailure to repay or repurchase any material indebtedness upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. However, in lightEven if the Company can refinance any such indebtedness, the terms of such indebtedness may contain more restrictive covenants or be costly to the Company. The terms of any refinancing may adversely affect the Class A Common Stock and its trading price.
None of the uncertainties involvedCompany’s affiliates are required to make any capital contributions, loans or other payments to Products Corporation regarding its obligations on its indebtedness. Products Corporation may not be able to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness using any of the above actions because, under certain circumstances, the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture, any of Products Corporation’s other debt instruments and/or the debt instruments of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries then in legal proceedings generally,effect may not permit the ultimate outcomeCompany to take such actions. (See also "Risk Factors - Restrictions and covenants in the various debt instruments of the Company’s subsidiaries limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply”).
The future state of the credit markets, including any volatility and/or tightening of the credit markets and reduction in credit availability, and rising interest rates could adversely impact the Company’s ability to refinance or replace, in whole or in part, Products Corporation’s outstanding indebtedness by their respective maturity dates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Restrictions and covenants in the various debt instruments of the Company’s subsidiaries limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply .
The agreements that govern the indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries, including the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, and the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture, contain a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries (subject in each case to certain exceptions) to, among other things:
•borrow money;
•use assets as security in other borrowings or transactions;
•pay dividends on stock or purchase stock;
•sell assets and use the proceeds from such sales;
•enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
•make certain investments;
•prepay, redeem or repurchase specified indebtedness; and
•permit restrictions on the payment of dividends to Products Corporation by its subsidiaries.
These covenants affect the operating flexibility of the Company’s subsidiaries by, among other things, restricting their ability to incur indebtedness that could be used to fund the costs of executing the Company’s business initiatives and to grow the Company’s business, as well as to fund general corporate purposes.
Certain breaches under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture would permit the Company’s lenders to accelerate amounts outstanding thereunder. The acceleration of amounts outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or the 6.25% Senior Notes would in certain circumstances constitute an event of default under the other instruments permitting amounts outstanding under such instruments to be accelerated. In addition, holders of the 6.25% Senior Notes may require Products Corporation to repurchase their notes in the event of a particular matterchange of control under the applicable indenture and a change of control would be an event of default under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement. Products Corporation may not have sufficient funds at the time of any such breach or change of control to repay, in full or in part, amounts outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement or the 2021 Asset-Based Term Agreement or to repay, repurchase or redeem, in full or in part, the 6.25% Senior Notes.
Factors and events beyond the Company’s control could be materialimpair the Company’s operating performance, which could affect Products Corporation’s ability to comply with the terms of Products Corporation’s debt instruments. Such factors and events may include: decreased consumer spending in response to the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, including the re-imposition of face mask mandates, lockdowns and other restrictive measures in the United States or globally from time to time; decreased discretionary consumer spending in the short or long-term as a result of macroeconomic headwinds due to high inflation and increased pricing pressure on consumers or a future economic contraction or recession in the United States or globally; weakness in the consumption of beauty products in one or more of the Company’s segments; geopolitical risks such as the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict; continued outbreaks of COVID-19 in key global commerce and manufacturing hubs from time to time and the related significant disruptions to the Company’s operatingsupply chain resulting from lockdowns and other restrictive measures imposed in such hubs; continued delays at U.S. ports or other modes of transportation and the impact of such delays on the Company’s supply chain or its ability to ship products to customers; any prolonged and/or significant disruptions, shutdowns or closures in the manufacturing facilities of the Company or its key third-party suppliers both within the U.S. and abroad due to COVID-19; continued labor shortages at the Company and within the Company’s supply chain; increasing inflation globally that materially impacts the cost of raw materials, labor and transportation; the inability of the Company to increase prices of its products or otherwise offset cost increases in response to inflationary pressure; 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 advertising, promotional and marketing spending by the Company and/or decreased performance by third-party
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or among sales channels, such as due to any further consumption declines that the Company has experienced; inventory management by the Company’s customers; inventory de-stocking by certain retail customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company’s customers; retail store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company’s customers; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, those for pension expense under its benefit plans, restructuring programs and related severance expenses, acquisitions and related integration costs, capital expenditures, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and/or marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company’s customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the Company’s anticipated level of expenses.
Under such circumstances, Products Corporation or its subsidiaries may be unable to comply with the requirements of one or more of its or their various debt instruments, including any financial covenants in the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement or the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement. If Products Corporation or its subsidiaries are unable to satisfy such requirements at any future time, Products Corporation or its subsidiaries would need to seek an amendment or waiver of such requirements. The respective lenders under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or the other applicable debt instruments may not consent to any amendment or waiver requests that Products Corporation or its subsidiaries may make in the future, and, if they do consent, they may only do so on terms that are unfavorable or costly to Products Corporation and/or Revlon.
If Products Corporation or its subsidiaries are unable to obtain any such waiver or amendment, Products Corporation’s or its subsidiaries’ inability to meet the requirements of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or other applicable debt instruments would constitute an event of default under such agreements, which, under certain circumstances, would permit the lenders to accelerate the repayment of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility or the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, as the case may be, and, under certain circumstances, would constitute an event of default under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture. An event of default under the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture would permit the trustee for the 6.25% Senior Notes or the requisite note holders to accelerate payment of the principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest on the 6.25% Senior Notes.
Products Corporation’s assets and/or cash flows and/or that of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under its various debt instruments, either upon maturity or if accelerated upon an event of default or change of control, and if the Company is required to repay, repurchase and/or redeem, in whole or in part, amounts outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or its 6.25% Senior Notes, it may be unable to refinance or restructure the payments on such debt. Further, if the Company is unable to repay, refinance or restructure its indebtedness under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and/or the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the lenders could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness, subject to certain conditions and limitations as set forth in the related intercreditor agreements and collateral agreements. As described above, the consequences of failing to comply with the foregoing restrictions, covenants and limitations under the Company’s various debt instruments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Limits on the borrowing capacity under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and other factors may affect the Company’s ability to finance its operations both on a short-term and long-term basis. Any material limitation on the borrowing capacity under these credit facilities or other material adverse development to the Company’s liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
At March 31, 2022, Products Corporation and its subsidiaries had $138.0 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and $75.0 million outstanding under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. While the Tranche A revolving loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility provide for up to $270.0 million of commitments, the Company’s ability to borrow funds under such facility is limited by a borrowing base determined relative to the value, from time-to-time, of certain eligible assets.
While the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility provides for a particular periodU.S. dollar-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan facility which currently has a principal balance of $75.0 million, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement requires the maintenance of a borrowing base supporting the borrowing thereunder, based on the sum of: (i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable (temporarily increased to 90% for one year following March 30, 2022) (ii) 65% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible finished goods inventory (temporarily increased to 75% for one year following March 30, 2022) and (ii) 45% of the mortgage value of certain owned real property, in each case with respect to certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries organized in Australia, Bermuda, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, subject to certain customary availability reserves.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, if the value of the Company’s eligible assets is not sufficient to support the full borrowing base under the respective facility, Products Corporation and its subsidiaries will not have complete access to the entire commitment available under such facilities, but rather would have access to a lesser amount as determined by the borrowing base.
The applicable borrowers must prepay loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility to the extent that outstanding loans exceed its respective borrowing base. Under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, in lieu of a mandatory prepayment, certain subsidiaries of the Company may deposit cash into a designated U.S. bank account with the agent thereunder, that is subject to a control agreement (such cash, the “Qualified Cash”). To the extent the borrowing base subsequently exceeds the amount of outstanding loans, the Qualified Cash can be withdrawn from such bank account. In addition, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds from the incurrence of debt by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries not permitted thereunder.
As Products Corporation continues to manage its working capital (including its and its subsidiaries’ inventory and accounts receivable, which are significant components of the eligible assets comprising the borrowing base under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility), this could reduce the borrowing base under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and/or the 2021 Asset-Based Term Facility. Further, if Products Corporation borrows funds under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, subsequent changes in the value or eligibility of the assets within the borrowing base could require Products Corporation to pay down amounts outstanding under such facility so that there is no amount outstanding in excess of the then-existing borrowing base. Likewise, subsequent changes in the value or eligibility of the assets within the borrowing base under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility could require Products Corporation and its subsidiaries to pay down amounts outstanding under such facility so that there is no amount outstanding in excess of the then-existing borrowing base, which, unlike the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, cannot be re-borrowed.
The Company’s ability to borrow under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility is also conditioned upon its compliance with the covenants in the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Because of these limitations, the Company may not always be able to meet its cash requirements with funds borrowed under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
If one or more lenders under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility are unable to fulfill their commitment to advance funds to Products Corporation under such facility, it would impact the Company’s liquidity and, depending upon the amount involved and the Company’s liquidity requirements, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to fund its operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Recently, the Company’s working capital and borrowing base availability under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset‑Based Term Facility have been negatively impacted by global supply chain issues which have affected the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. These global supply chain issues have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic headwinds, and have led to the unavailability of raw materials and cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation. Although the Company has taken actions, such as the recent March 2022 amendments to the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, to increase its liquidity, these global supply chain issues and other developments that may negatively affect the Company’s liquidity, such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, may continue or recur in the future. Actions previously taken by the Company to address these issues, such as cost cutting, may have a negative effect on the future business and results of operations of the Company. There can be no assurance that these global supply chain issues and other developments will not impact the Company’s liquidity in the future. If the Company is unable to finance its business on either a short-term or long-term basis due to a decrease in borrowing capacity or liquidity, it could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
At March 31, 2022, the Company had a liquidity position of $132.1 million, consisting of: (i) $70.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (with approximately $62.2 million held outside the U.S.); (ii) $65.1 million in available borrowing capacity under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which had $268.0 million drawn at such date); and less (iii) approximately $3.0 million of outstanding checks.
A substantial portion of Products Corporation’s indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates and the discontinuation or replacement of LIBOR could result in an increase to our interest expense.
A substantial portion of Products Corporation’s indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates, which makes the Company more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic conditions, such as a tightening in the credit markets, increases in prevailing
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
interest rates or an economic downturn. As of March 31, 2022, $3,089.0 million of Products Corporation’s total indebtedness, or approximately 88% of its total indebtedness, was subject to floating interest rates.
In July 2017, the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority formally confirmed its intention to cease publishing 24 LIBOR settings, including all seven euro LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021, and the overnight and 12- month U.S. dollar LIBOR setting after June 30, 2023. It is unclear whether or not LIBOR will cease to exist at that time (and if so, what reference rate will replace it) or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after June 30, 2023. Certain of Products Corporation’s financing agreements, including its 2016 Term Loan Facility, the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility are made at variable rates that use LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the applicable interest rate. While the 2016 Term Loan Facility contains limited “fallback” provisions providing for comparable or successor rates in the event LIBOR is unavailable, these provisions may not adequately address the actual changes to LIBOR or its successor rates. For example, if future rates based upon the successor reference rate (or a new method of calculating LIBOR) are higher than LIBOR rates as currently determined, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. On the other hand, if future rates based upon the successor reference rate (or a new method of calculating LIBOR) are lower than LIBOR rates as currently determined, the lenders under such credit agreements may seek amendments to increase the applicable interest rate margins or invoke their right to require the use of the alternate base rate in place of LIBOR, which could result in an increase to our interest expense as discussed below. By contrast, the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility contain provisions governing the selection and adjustment of replacement reference rates. More generally, a phase-out of LIBOR could cause market volatility or disruption and may adversely affect our access to the capital markets and cost of funding, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
As of March 31, 2022, the entire $872.4 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2016 Term Loan Facility bore interest, at Product Corporation’s option, at a rate per annum of LIBOR (which has a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 3.5% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 2.5%, payable quarterly, at a minimum. At March 31, 2022, LIBOR and the alternate base rate for the 2016 Term Loan Facility were 0.75% and 3.50%, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, $88.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Tranche A revolving loans of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility bore interest, at Products Corporation’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 2.75%; or (ii) the Eurocurrency rate (which has a floor of 0.50%) plus an applicable margin equal to 3.75%. Term loans under the SISO Term Loan Facility accrue interest, at Products Corporation’s option, at a rate per annum of LIBOR (which has a floor of 1.75%) plus a margin of 5.75% or at an alternate base rate plus a margin of 4.75%. The 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans accrue interest, at Products Corporation’s option, at a rate per annum of LIBOR (which has a floor of 1.75%) plus a margin of 8.50% or at an alternate base rate plus a margin of 7.50%. Interest accrues on the term loan facility under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to (i) 2.00%, payable in kind, plus (ii) LIBOR (which has a floor of 1.50%) plus a margin of 10.5%. Interest accrues on the roll-up term loans under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement at a rate per annum of LIBOR (which has a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 3.5%. Under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, which currently has $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, interest accrues on borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate (which had a floor of 1.50%) plus an 8.50% applicable margin.
If any of LIBOR (or its successor rate), the prime rate or the federal funds effective rate increases, Products Corporation’s debt service costs will increase to the extent that Products Corporation has elected such rates for its outstanding loans. Based on the amounts outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and other short-term borrowings (which, in the aggregate, are Products Corporation’s only debt currently subject to floating interest rates) as of March 31, 2022, a 1% increase in LIBOR (or an equivalent successor rate) would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by $20.6 million. Based on the same amounts outstanding, a change from LIBOR to the alternate base rate in the case of the 2016 Credit Agreements would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by $15.9 million. Increased debt service costs would adversely affect the Company’s cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company’s ability to service its debt and meet its cash requirements depends on many factors, including achieving anticipated levels of revenue and expenses. If such revenue or expense levels prove to be other than as anticipated, the Company may be unable to meet its cash requirements or its subsidiaries may be unable to meet the requirements of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company currently expects that operating revenues, cash on hand, and funds that may be available for borrowing under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and other permissible borrowings will be sufficient to enable the Company to cover its operating expenses for 2022, including: cash requirements for the payment of expenses in connection with
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
executing the Company’s business initiatives and its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; purchases of permanent wall displays; capital expenditure requirements; debt service payments and costs; cash tax payments; pension and other post-retirement plan contributions; payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs; severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs; business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any; debt and/or equity repurchases, if any; costs related to litigation; and payments in connection with discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting and/or entering certain territories and/or channels of trade.
As discussed in “Risk Factors –Limits on the borrowing capacity under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and other factors may affect the Company’s ability to finance its operations both on a short-term and long-term basis. Any material limitation on the borrowing capacity or other material adverse development to the Company’s liquidity could have a material adverse effect on the Company,” the Company’s liquidity has been negatively impacted by global supply chain disruptions, the unavailability of raw materials and cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation. Although the Company has taken actions to increase its liquidity, if the Company’s anticipated level of revenue is not achieved because of any of the following factors or events: decreased consumer spending in response to the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, including the re-imposition of face mask mandates, lockdowns and other restrictive measures in the United States or globally from time to time; decreased discretionary consumer spending in the short or long-term as a result of macroeconomic headwinds due to high inflation and increased pricing pressure on consumers or a future economic contraction or recession in the United States or globally; weakness in the consumption of beauty products in one or more of the Company’s segments; geopolitical risks such as the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict; continued outbreaks of COVID-19 in key global commerce and manufacturing hubs from time to time and the related significant disruptions to the Company’s supply chain resulting from lockdowns and other restrictive measures imposed in such hubs; continued delays at U.S. ports or other modes of transportation and the impact of such delays on the Company’s supply chain or its ability to ship products to customers; any prolonged and/or significant disruptions, shutdowns or closures in the manufacturing facilities of the Company or its key third-party suppliers both within the U.S. and abroad due to COVID-19; continued labor shortages at the Company and within the Company’s supply chain; increasing inflation globally that materially impacts the cost of raw materials, labor and transportation; the inability of the Company to increase prices of its products or otherwise offset cost increases in response to inflationary pressure; 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 advertising, promotional and marketing spending by the Company and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or sales channels; inventory management by the Company’s customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company’s customers; retail store closures in brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company’s customers; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, those for pension expense under its benefit plans, capital expenditures, restructuring and severance costs (including, without limitation, for the EA Integration Restructuring Program, the 2018 Optimization Program and the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program (subsequently renamed during 2021 as RGGA)), acquisition and integration costs, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and/or marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company’s customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s current sources of funds may be insufficient to meet its cash requirements. In addition, such developments, if significant, could reduce the Company’s revenues and could have a material adverse effect on Products Corporation’s ability to comply with the terms of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Loan Agreement (See also "Risk Factors - Restrictions and covenants in the various debt instruments of the Company’s subsidiaries limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply,” which discusses, among other things, the sizeconsequences of noncompliance with Products Corporation’s debt covenants).
If the Company’s operating revenues, cash on hand and/or funds that may be available for borrowing are insufficient to cover the Company’s expenses and/or are insufficient to enable Products Corporation and its subsidiaries to comply with the requirements of the loss 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the natureCompany could be required to adopt one or more of the liability imposed andalternatives listed below:
•delaying the levelimplementation of or revising certain aspects of the Company’s incomebusiness initiatives;
•reducing or delaying purchases of wall displays and/or expenses related to the Company’s advertising, promotional and/or marketing activities;
•reducing or delaying capital spending;
•implementing new restructuring programs;
•refinancing Products Corporation’s indebtedness;
•selling assets or operations;
•seeking additional capital contributions and/or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, the Company’s other affiliates and/or third parties;
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
•selling additional Revlon equity or debt securities or Products Corporation’s debt securities; and/or
•reducing other discretionary spending.
The Company may not be able to take any of these actions because of a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in one or more of Products Corporation’s various debt instruments, including, for example, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or a debt issuance, additional capital contributions or loans not being available from affiliates and/or third parties, or that particularthe transactions may not be permitted under the terms of one or more of Products Corporation’s various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and/or related party transactions. If the Company is required to take any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Such actions, if ever taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements or enable Products Corporation and its subsidiaries to comply with the terms of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement if the actions do not result in sufficient cost reductions or generate a sufficient amount of additional capital, as the case may be. (See also "Risk Factors - Restrictions and covenants in the various debt instruments of the Company’s subsidiaries limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply,” which discusses, among other things, the consequences of noncompliance with Products Corporation’s debt covenants).
Risks Related to the Company's Industry, Business and Operations
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significantly decreased net sales for the Company and has had, and could continue to have, a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business around the globe, which could continue for the foreseeable future. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted net sales in all major commercial regions that are important to the Company’s business. COVID-19’s adverse impact on the global economy has contributed to the imposition of face mask mandates, lockdowns and other significant restrictions in the United States and abroad from time to time; global supply chain disruptions, including manufacturing and transportation delays, due to closures, employee absences, port congestion, labor and container shortages, and shipment delays, increased transportation costs, and shortages in raw materials, tight labor markets and inflationary pressures for a number of industries, including consumer retail, and related consumer products shortages and price increases; closures, bankruptcies and/ or reduced operations of retailers, beauty salons, spas, offices and manufacturing facilities; labor shortages with employers in many industries, including consumer retail, experiencing increased competition to recruit, hire and retain employees; travel and transportation restrictions leading to declines in consumer traffic in key shopping and tourist areas around the globe; and import and export restrictions. These adverse economic conditions have resulted in the general slowdown of the global economy, in turn contributing to a significant decline in net sales within each of the Company’s reporting segments and regions. However, with the roll out of COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021 and the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in the United States and in many of the Company’s key markets around the globe, the Company saw a gradual rebound in consumer spending and consumption in 2021, which continued into 2022. The Company continues to closely monitor the associated impacts of COVID-19, including the impacts of any new variants of COVID-19 and subsequent “waves” of the pandemic, and will take appropriate actions in an effort to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic’s negative effects on the Company’s operations and financial results.
In April 2020, the Company took several cost reduction measures designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on its net sales, including, without limitation: (i) reducing brand support, as a result of the abrupt decline in retail store traffic; (ii) continuing to monitor the Company’s sales and order flow and periodically scaling down operations and cancelling promotional programs; and (iii) closely managing cash flow and liquidity and prioritizing cash to minimize COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s production capabilities. In April 2020, the Company also implemented various organizational interim measures designed to reduce costs in response to COVID-19, including, without limitation: (i) switching to a reduced work week in the U.S. and in the Company’s international locations and reducing executive and employee compensation in the range of 20% to 40%; (ii) furloughing approximately 40% of the Company’s U.S.-based office-based employees and 30% factory-based employees, as well as employees in a majority of the Company’s other locations; (iii) suspending the Company’s 2020 merit base salary increases, discretionary profit sharing contributions and matching contributions to the Company’s 401(k) plan; (iv) reducing Board and committee compensation by 50% and eliminating Board and committee meeting fees; and (v) suspending or terminating services and payments under consulting agreements with certain directors. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company started to gradually roll back some of these measures especially with regards to some of the employees previously furloughed and/or on a reduced work week. With these measures, including the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company achieved cost reductions of approximately $286 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 that have substantially offset the impact of the decline in the Company’s net sales over such period. No such organizational interim measures were taken in 2021 besides the Company’s ongoing Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program. Prolonged reductions in brand support and other investments in the Company’s business could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 1A. Risk Factors
From time to time, the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions at the Company and various of its key third-party suppliers’ manufacturing facilities in the United States and abroad which has led to shortages of raw materials, components and finished products. While these disruptions have been temporary, prolonged and/or significant disruptions could cause the Company to be unable to ship products to retailers and consumers and could adversely affect the Company’s net sales. Also, if one or more of the Company’s key customers were required to suspend operations or close for an extended period, the Company might not be able to ship products to them and consumers may decrease their level of purchasing activity, which would adversely impact the Company’s net sales.
In addition, U.S. and/or foreign governmental authorities may from time to time recommend or impose other measures that could cause significant disruptions to the Company’s business operations in the regions most impacted by the coronavirus. The continuation of any of the foregoing events or other informationunforeseen consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic would continue to significantly adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company's success depends, in this report, investors should consider carefullypart, on the risk factors discussedquality, efficacy and safety of its products.
The Company's success depends, in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors"part, on the quality, efficacy and safety of its products. If the Company's products are found or alleged to be defective or unsafe, or if they fail to meet customer or consumer standards, the Company's relationships with its customers or consumers could suffer, the appeal of one or more of the Company's brands could be diminished and the Company could lose sales and/or become subject to liability claims, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. For example, the Company is named in Products Corporation's 2016 Form 10-K.lawsuits alleging product liability issues, all of which the Company believes are without merit and defends against vigorously, however, the outcome and impact of these lawsuits, which include cases based on the presence of talc in certain products, cannot be predicted with certainty.
The Company’s success largely depends upon its ability to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce, as well as effectively implement succession planning for its senior management team, and, as such, the Company’s inability to do so could adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Continuing to execute the Company’s business initiatives largely depends on the Company’s ability to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce, as well as effectively implement succession planning for its senior management team. The Company has recently experienced increased employee attrition and labor shortages primarily due to COVID-19. The Company’s failure to adequately address increased employee turnover or to maintain an adequate succession plan to effectively transition current management leadership positions and/or the Company’s failure to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce could adversely affect the Company’s institutional knowledge base and/or competitive advantage. If the Company is unable to attract, hire and/or retain talented and highly qualified senior management, other key employees and/or a highly skilled and diverse workforce, or if the Company is unable to effectively provide for the succession of its senior management team, the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows could be adversely affected.
Item 5. Other Information
None.Extension of E. Scott Beattie's Consulting Agreement.
