COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

($ in millions, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Coty Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Coty”) manufacture, market, sell and distribute branded beauty products, including fragrances, color cosmetics and skin & body related products throughout the world. Coty is a global beauty company with a rich entrepreneurial history and an iconic portfolio of brands.

The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with a year-end of June 30. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word “fiscal” refers to the fiscal year ended June 30 of that year. For example, references to “fiscal ~~2022”~~2023” refer to the fiscal year ending June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term “includes” and “including” means, unless the context otherwise indicates, including without limitation.

The Company’s sales generally increase during the second fiscal quarter as a result of increased demand associated with the winter holiday season. Financial performance, working capital requirements, sales, cash flows and borrowings generally experience variability during the three to six months preceding the holiday season. Product innovations, new product launches and the size and timing of orders from the Company’s customers may also result in variability.

On November 30, 2020, the Company completed the previously announced strategic transaction with Rainbow UK Bidco Limited (“KKR Bidco”) (an affiliate of funds and/or separately managed accounts (“KKR Funds”) advised and/or managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and its affiliates (“KKR”)), for the sale of a majority stake in Coty’s Professional and Retail Hair businesses, including the Wella, Clairol, OPI and ghd brands, (together, the “Wella Business”). As a result, Coty owned a 40% stake in Rainbow JVCO LTD and subsidiaries (together, "Wella") immediately after the transaction. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned a 25.9% stake in Wella. See Note 9—Equity Investments for additional information.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") finalized the Company's organizational structure and how performance will be assessed, and the Company realigned its reportable segments to a principally product category-based structure, comprised of a Prestige business segment and a Consumer Beauty business segment. See Note 4—Segment Reporting for information on the Company's segments.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include the Company’s consolidated domestic and international subsidiaries. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following discussion are in millions of United States (“U.S.”) dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents funds that are not readily available for general purpose cash needs due to contractual limitations. Restricted cash is classified as a current or long-term asset based on the timing and nature of when or how the cash is expected to be used or when the restrictions are expected to lapse. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had restricted cash of ~~$31.6~~$35.4 and ~~$56.9,~~$30.5, respectively, included in Restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Restricted cash balance as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 primarily provides collateral for certain bank guarantees on rent, customs and duty accounts and also consists of collections on factored receivables that remain unremitted to the factor as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. Restricted cash is included as a component of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Equity Investments

The Company elected the fair value option to account for its investment in ~~Wella~~Rainbow JVCO LTD and subsidiaries (together, "Wella" or the “Wella Company”) to align with the Company’s strategy for this investment. The fair value is updated on a quarterly basis. The investment is classified within Level 3 in the fair value

~~Table of Contents~~

hierarchy because the Company estimates the fair value of the investment using a combination of the income approach, the market approach and private transactions, when applicable. Changes in the fair value of equity investment under the fair value option are recorded in Other income, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 9—7—Equity Investments).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, the net realizable value of inventory, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the fair value of equity investments, the

Table of Content s

assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment and income taxes. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.

Tax Information

The effective income tax rate for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 was ~~0.9%~~34.1% and ~~(177.8)%, respectively, and 23.2% and 178.0%~~33.4%, respectively. The positive effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 results from reporting income before taxes and a provision for income taxes. The positive effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 results from reporting losses before income taxes and a benefit for income taxes. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, as compared with the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, is primarily due to the resolution of foreign uncertain tax positions having a greater proportional effect in the prior year, as well as the limitation on the deductibility of executive stock compensation in the current period. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, as compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2021, is primarily due to the limitation on the deductibility of executive stock compensation and largelarger fair value gains related to the investment in ~~the~~ Wella ~~business in the current period, as well as a benefit related to a change in the Company's main principal location of $220.5~~ recorded in the prior period. The benefit recorded in the prior period was the result of a tax rate differential on the deferred taxes recognized on the transfer of assets and liabilities, following the relocation of the Company's main principal location from Geneva to Amsterdam.

The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates, (ii) adjustments to the Company’s unrealized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and accrued interest, (iii) non-deductible expenses, (iv) audit settlements and (v) valuation allowance changes.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the gross amount of UTBs was ~~$271.5~~$250.9 and ~~$279.9,~~$251.6, respectively. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, the total amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate is ~~$151.3.~~$169.8. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, was ~~$173.9~~$197.4 and ~~$181.2,~~$191.8, respectively, which was recorded in Income and other taxes payable and Other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to UTBs was $1.3 and ~~$(1.4)~~$0.7 for the three months ended ~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.0 and $0.3, for the nine months ended March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$22.7~~$27.7 and ~~$21.7,~~$26.4, respectively. On the basis of the information available as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to ~~$22.2~~$13.5 in UTBs may occur within twelve months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and a potential lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.

3. ~~DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS~~

~~On June 1, 2020, the Comp~~any entered into a definitive agreement with KKR Bidco, regarding a strategic transaction for the sale of the Wella Business, valuing the business at $4,300.0 on a cash- and debt-free basis. The transaction was completed on November 30, 2020 and Coty retained an initial ownership of 40% of the Wella Business. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned a 25.9% stake in Wella. See Note 9—Equity Investments for additional information.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of the Wella Business are presented as discontinued operations in the prior period leading up to the date of the sale, and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The Wella Business was comprised of the Professional Beauty and Retail Hair businesses.

The Company accounts for the initial measurement of contingent consideration under a loss recovery approach. As of the time the contingent consideration arrangement was entered into, the Company was unable to determine that it was probable that any of the contingent consideration would be earned. Therefore, no contingent consideration gain was initially recognized. Subsequent measurement of the total contingent consideration will be based on the guidance for gain contingencies and any gain will be recorded at the time the consideration is earned.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, a $34.0 advance of future contingent proceeds was paid to the Company and is subject to claw back if recovery targets related to the Wella Business tax credits are not achieved. The $34.0 advanced to the Company is unearned and is included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The advance payment will be reflected as a liability until the contingency is resolved.

4.3. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating and reportable segments (referred to as “segments”) reflect the way the Company is managed and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the ~~Company’s CODM~~ Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM")

Table of Content s

in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has designated its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") as the CODM.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the CODM finalized the Company's organizational structure and how performance will be assessed, and the Company realigned its reportable segments to a principally product category-based structure, comprised of a Prestige business segment and a Consumer Beauty business segment beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company recast its results for fiscal 2021 to reflect the changes in its segments.

~~Table of Contents~~

Certain income and shared costs and the results of corporate initiatives are managed by Corporate. Corporate primarily includes stock compensation expense, restructuring and realignment costs, costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities, and impairments of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangibles that are not attributable to ongoing operating activities of the segments. Corporate costs are not used by the CODM to measure the underlying performance of the segments.

With the exception of goodwill, the Company does not identify or monitor assets by segment. The Company does not present assets by reportable segment since various assets are shared between reportable segments. The allocation of goodwill by segment is presented in Note ~~10—~~8—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net.

~~5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES~~

~~Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions~~

~~There were no business combination or asset acquisition transactions during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022.~~

~~KKW Beauty Business Transaction~~

On January 4, 2021, the Company completed its purchase of 20% of the outstanding equity of KKW Holdings, LLC (“KKW Holdings”), pursuant to a purchase agreement entered into between the Company, KKW Holdings and other parties listed as signatories (the “KKW Purchase Agreement”). On the same date, as contemplated by the KKW Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement, pursuant to which, in exchange for a marketing fee and a license fee, it received the right and license to manufacture, advertise, promote, distribute and sell certain Kim Kardashian West products outside of the existing KKW Holdings scope of fragrances and cosmetics, and use certain intellectual property owned by or licensed to KKW Holdings in connection with the development, manufacture, labelling, packaging, advertising, display, distribution and sale of such products (the “KKW Collaboration Agreement”). Under the KKW Collaboration Agreement, products will be sold by the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. Therefore, the related revenues generated and expenses incurred by such subsidiaries will be reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

~~Table of Contents~~

The KKW Purchase Agreement also gives the Company an option to acquire, and the sellers the option to compel the Company to acquire, an additional 31% of the outstanding equity of KKW (the “KKW Call Option” and “KKW Put Option”, respectively). The seller’s ability to exercise the KKW Put Option is contingent upon the achievement of certain contractually defined targets. The KKW Call Option and KKW Put Option expire on the seventh anniversary of the KKW Collaboration Agreement. Future exercise of the KKW Call Option or KKW Put Option has been deemed by the Company to be remote. However, if exercise were to occur such exercise may result in a material cash outflow for the Company.

The purchase consideration paid for the equity interest, the KKW Call Option and rights under the KKW Collaboration Agreement was $200.0 and was allocated as follows using a relative fair value approach at the acquisition date:
Estimated fair value Estimated useful life (in years)
KKW Collaboration Agreement $ 180.6 20
20% equity interest in KKW Holdings 19.4
Total purchase consideration $ 200.0

The fair value of the KKW Collaboration Agreement and the Company’s 20% equity investment were estimated using an income approach. The Company accounts for its 20% investment in the equity of KKW Holdings under the equity method. The fair value of the KKW Collaboration Agreement is recognized within Other intangible assets, net and the Company’s equity investment in KKW Holdings is recognized within Equity investments, each within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the KKW Call Option was deemed to be de minimis.

~~Business Divestitures~~

~~There were no divestiture transactions during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022.~~

~~Wella Business~~

On November 30, 2020, the Company completed the strategic transaction with KKR for the sale of a majority stake in the Wella Business (see Note 3—Discontinued Operations). Following the sale, Coty deconsolidated the Wella Business as KKR owns approximately 60% of the separately managed business, and the Company owned the remaining 40%. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned a 25.9% stake in Wella. See Note 9—Equity Investments for additional information. Initial cash proceeds received for the sale of the 60% stake in Wella were $2,451.7 (less cash disposed of $65.5, resulted in net cash proceeds of $2,386.2).

Coty utilized $2,015.5 of the net proceeds to pay down its 2018 Coty Term A and B Facilities (as defined in Note 12—Debt) on a pro rata basis and reserved a maximum of $500.0 for reinvestment in the Company's business, pursuant to the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended (as defined in Note 12—Debt). In connection with the November 30, 2021 amendment to the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, the Company received consent from the participating banks to eliminate the requirements to utilize or repay the Reinvestment Balance (as defined in Note 12—Debt).

Additionally, as contemplated in the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended) relating to the sale of the Wella Business (the “Wella SPA”), the purchase consideration was subject to further adjustments for other working capital and contractually specified items. See Note 3—Discontinued Operations for more information.

As a result of the sale of the majority interest in Wella, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling interest in the Wella Business. The Company, therefore, deconsolidated its ownership of the Wella assets and liabilities and no longer reported the assets and liabilities of Wella. The operations of Wella were consolidated in the results of the Company through the date of sale. The Company accounted for its stake in the Wella Business under the fair value option (see Note 9—Equity Investments).

6.4. ACQUISITION- AND DIVESTITURE-RELATED COSTS

The Company recognized no acquisition-related costs for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and ~~$3.3 and $2.8 of acquisition-related costs for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.~~2021.

The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 valuation of the Company's investments carried at fair value as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. Included in the table are the inputs or range of possible inputs that have an effect on the overall valuation of the financial instruments.

(a)The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's equity investments with fair value option, when using a discounted cash flow method, are the discount rate and revenue growth rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The Company estimates the discount rate based on the investees' projected cost of equity and debt. The revenue growth rate is forecasted for future years by the investee based on their best estimates. Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue growth rate in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

(b)The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's equity investments with fair value option, when using a market multiple method, are the revenue multiple and EBITDA multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue multiple or EBITDA multiple in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The market multiples are derived from a group of guideline public companies.

The First Exchange and Second Exchange, as discussed in Note 16—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock, were also included and weighted for valuation purposes. Going forward, the weighting of the valuation approaches could have a significant impact on the valuation of the investment.

~~15.~~13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Foreign Exchange Risk ~~Management~~

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations through its global operations. The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the cash flows associated with changes in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative instruments and also by designating foreign currency denominated borrowings and cross-currency swaps as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company expects that through hedging, any gain or loss on the derivative instruments would generally offset the expected increase or decrease in the value of the underlying forecasted transactions.

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of business, including through exposure to inventory expenditures made by the Company’s international subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the transaction currency. To manage this exposure, beginning in June 2021,In September 2019, the Company entered into ~~non-deliverable forward foreign-exchange~~cross-currency swap contracts ~~(the “NDF contracts”) that are intended to offset changes~~ in ~~cash flow attributable to currency exchange movements. The NDF contracts have been~~the notional amount of $550.0 and designated ~~as foreign exchange cash flow hedges. The Company entered into~~ these ~~contracts with counterparties that are banks or other financial institutions, and the Company considers the risk of non-performance by such counterparties not to be material.~~

~~The Company also continued to use certain derivatives~~cross-currency swaps as ~~economic~~ hedges of its net investment in certain foreign currency exposure on firm commitments, which do not qualify for hedge accounting. Although these derivatives were not designated for hedge accounting, the overall objective of mitigating foreign currency exposure is the same for all derivative instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor is the Company a party to leveraged derivatives. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded in the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to which the derivative relates.

subsidiaries. In September 2020, the Company terminated its existing net investment cross currency swap derivatives ~~with notional amount of $550.0~~ in exchange for cash payment of $37.6. The related loss from this termination is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI/(L)”) until the sale or substantial liquidation of the underlying net investments.

~~Beginning in July 2021,~~As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to naturally hedge up to 80% of the Company's euro denominated external debt as part of management's strategy to minimize the impact of currency movements on those debt instruments. The notional amount of ~~those~~the outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts ~~was €1,500.0 million~~designated as cash flow hedges were $25.5 and $30.0, respectively.

The Company also uses certain derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consisting primarily of ~~March 31, 2022. As a result,~~foreign currency forward contracts and cross currency swaps to hedge intercompany transactions and foreign currency denominated ~~borrowings~~external debt. Although these derivatives were not designated for hedge accounting, the overall objective of mitigating foreign currency exposure is the same for all derivative instruments. For derivatives not designated as ~~net investment hedges decreased from nominal exposures~~hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded in the line item in the Consolidated Statements of ~~€1,809.5 million as~~Operations to which the derivative relates. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021 to €352.6 million as~~2022, the notional amounts of ~~March 31, 2022.~~these outstanding non-designated foreign currency forward and cross currency forward contracts were $2,645.5 and $2,403.8, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations related to its variable rate debt instruments. The Company may reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the cash flows associated with changes in the variable interest rates by entering into offsetting positions through the use of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts. The interest rate swap contracts result in recognizing a fixed interest rate for the portion of the Company’s variable rate debt that was hedged. This will reduce the negative and positive impact of increases in the variable rates over the term of the contracts. Hedge effectiveness of interest rate swap contracts is based on a long-haul hypothetical derivative methodology and includes all changes in value. ~~These interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.~~

In December 2021, the Company terminated certain existing interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $200.0 in exchange for a settlement of $1.9. The related loss from this termination is included in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had interest rate swap contracts designated as effective hedges in the notional amount of ~~$800.0~~$800.0. These interest rate swaps are designated and ~~$1,900.0,~~qualify as cash flow hedges and were highly effective.

adjustments on those investments. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the nominal exposures of foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as net investment hedges were €484.4 million and €289.0 million, respectively. The designated hedge amounts were considered highly effective.

Forward Repurchase Contracts

In June 2022, the Company entered into certain forward repurchase contracts to start hedging for a potential $200.0 share buyback program in 2024. These forward repurchase contracts are accounted for at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Treasury Stock

Share Repurchase Program

Since February 2014, the Board has authorized the Company to repurchase its Class A Common Stock under approved repurchase programs. On February 3, 2016, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $500.0 of its Class A Common Stock (the “Incremental Repurchase Program”). Repurchases may be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its Class A Common Stock, and general market conditions. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its Class A Common ~~Stock.~~Stock under the Incremental Repurchase Program. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, the Company had authority for $396.8 remaining under the Incremental Repurchase Program.

~~Other Repurchases~~In June 2022, the Company entered into forward repurchase contracts (the “Forward” and together the “Forwards”) with three large financial institutions (“Counterparties”) to start hedging for a potential $200.0 share buyback program in 2024. In connection with the Forward transactions, the Company incurred certain execution fees of $2.0, which was recognized as a premium to the forward price recorded at inception and amortized ratably over the contract period.

~~There were no other stock repurchases~~As part of the Forward agreements, the Company will pay interest on the outstanding underlying notional amount of the Forwards held by the Counterparties during the ~~three~~contract period. The interest rates are variable, based on the United States secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread. The weighted average interest rate plus applicable spread was 6.8% as of September 30, 2022.

The Forward agreements with two of the Counterparties, which purchased approximately 13.7 million and ~~nine months ended March 31,~~6.2 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during June and July 2022, require the Company to: (i) repurchase the shares on or before June 6, 2024 at a price based on the weighted average of the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”)

Table of Content s

during the initial acquisition period (“Initial Price”); or (ii) at the Company’s option, pay or receive the difference between the Final Price, defined as the weighted average of the daily VWAP during the unwind period as defined in the agreement, and ~~2021.~~Initial Price of the Forwards.

Simultaneously, the remaining Counterparty purchased approximately 7.1 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during June 2022. This Forward requires the Company to pay or receive the difference between the Final Price and Initial Price established at inception of the Forward on or before June 6, 2024.

In addition, the Forwards include a provision for a potential true-up in cash upon specified changes in the price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock relative to the Initial Price (“Hedge Valuation Adjustment”). Such Hedge Valuation Adjustment shall not result in a termination date or any adjustment of the number of Coty’s Class A Common Stock shares purchased by the Counterparties at inception.

In the event the Company declares and pays any cash dividends on its Class A Common Stock, the Forward Counterparties will be entitled to such dividend payments and payable at termination of the Forwards.

Since the Forwards permit a net cash settlement alternative in addition to the physical settlement, the Company accounted for the Forwards initially and subsequently at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Dividends

On April 29, 2020, the Board of Directors suspended the payment of dividends.

During fiscal 2020, prior to the Board’s decision to suspend the payment of dividends, the Company maintained a Stock Dividend Reinvestment Program and had registered a total of 19.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock for purchase under the program. All holders of records of Class A Common Stock had the opportunity to participate in the program; if a holder elected to participate in the program fifty percent (50%) of their cash dividends were reinvested in additional shares of Class A Common Stock.

~~The change in dividends accrued recorded to APIC in~~For the ~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31,~~three months ended September 30, 2022, ~~was $0.8, which represent dividends no longer expected to vest as a result of forfeitures of outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”). In addition to the activity noted above,~~ the Company made a payment of ~~$1.3~~$0.4, of which $0.1 related to employee taxes, for the previously accrued dividends on RSUs that vested during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31, 2022.~~September 30, 2022

Total accrued dividends on unvested RSUs and phantom units of ~~$1.5~~$1.3 and ~~$0.5~~$0.2 are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

In connection with this Award, Cottage Holdco B.V., the Company’s largest stockholder and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., agreed, pursuant to an equity transfer agreement, to transfer to Ms. Nabi (either directly or through contributing to the Company) 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock no later than sixty days following the first vesting date. On October 29, 2021, Cottage Holdco B.V. completed the transfer of 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to Ms. Nabi. If, however, Ms. Nabi is terminated without cause or due to death or disability on or following the first vesting date but prior to the second vesting date, the Company has agreed to issue to Cottage Holdco B.V. the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined on pro-rata basis in accordance with the equity transfer agreement. In the event Ms. Nabi remains employed through the third vesting date, Cottage Holdco B.V. has agreed to transfer an additional 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to Ms. Nabi.

~~20.~~18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

The Company is involved, from time to time, in various litigation, administrative and other legal proceedings, including regulatory actions, incidental or related to its business, including consumer class or collective actions, personal injury (including asbestos claims related to the Company’s talc-based cosmetic products), intellectual property, competition, compliance and advertising claims litigation and disputes, among others (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”). While the Company cannot predict any final outcomes relating thereto, management believes that the outcome of current Legal Proceedings will not have a material effect upon its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of the Company’s securities. However, management’s assessment of the Company’s current Legal Proceedings is ongoing, and could change in light of the discovery of additional facts with respect to Legal Proceedings not presently known to the Company, further legal analysis, or determinations by judges, arbitrators, juries or other finders of fact or deciders of law which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the probable liability or outcome of such Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the Company is in discussions with regulators, including discussions initiated by the Company, about actual or potential violations of law in order to remediate or mitigate associated legal or compliance risks and liabilities or penalties. As the outcomes of such proceedings are unpredictable, the Company can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect its reputation, business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of its securities.

Certain Litigation. A consolidated ~~purported~~ stockholder class ~~action~~ and derivative ~~complaint~~action (the “Tender Offer Litigation”) concerning the tender offer by Cottage Holdco B.V. (the “Cottage Tender Offer”) and the Schedule 14D-9 is pending against certain current and former directors of the Company, JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The case, which was filed on May 6, 2019, was captioned Massachusetts Laborers’ Pension Fund v. Harf et al., Case No. 2019-0336-AGB. On June 14, 2019, plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a Verified Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (“Amended Complaint”). After defendants responded to the Amended Complaint, on October 21, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Verified Second Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”), alleging that the directors and JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders and breached the Stockholders Agreement. The Second Amended Complaint seeks, among other things, monetary relief. On November 21, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss certain claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint, and certain of the director defendants also answered the complaint. On May 7, 2020, plaintiffs stipulated

A purported stockholder class action complaint, alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws in connection with the P&G beauty brands acquisition is pending against the Company as well as certain current and former officers of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case, which was filed on September 4, 2020, is captioned Crystal Garrett-Evans v. Coty Inc. et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-07277 (the “Evans Action”). On November 23, 2020, the court appointed the individual Susan Nock as lead plaintiff and the Rosen Firm as lead counsel. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 22, 2021. The Amended Complaint asserts claims under the federal securities laws and seeks, among other things, monetary relief. On March 8, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and on August 4, 2021, the court dismissed the amended complaint, holding that it failed to set forth a valid claim. There has been no appeal of the dismissal and the Evans Action has been concluded.

A second purported stockholder class action and derivative complaint, alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws in connection with the P&G beauty brands acquisition and the Kylie Brands transaction as well as claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets by certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case, which was filed on November 17, 2020, is captioned Chris Lewis v. Becht et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-09685 (the “Lewis Action”). The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, injunctive and/or monetary relief. This action was voluntarily stayed during the pendency of the motion to dismiss the Evans Action. Following the dismissal of the Evans Action, counsel for the plaintiff in the Lewis Action agreed to dismiss the case and the court has approved the dismissal of the action as of October 2021.

At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance, that may result given the current status of these lawsuits.

All cases are currently in the administrative process. The Company is seeking favorable administrative decisions on the tax enforcement actions filed by the tax authorities for these assessments. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and it has not recognized a loss for these assessments as the Company does not believe a loss is probable. Due to the fiscal environment in Brazil, the possibility of further tax assessments related to the same or similar matters cannot be ruled out.

Ms. Nabi has no continuing formal role at Orveda or economic interest in Orveda as a result of divesting her interests which was settled in cash in December 2021; however her business partner and co-founder, Nicolas Vu, is the sole owner and CEO of Orveda, and Mr. Vu also provides consulting services, related to the skincare category and Orveda positioning, to Coty under the terms of a separate agreement. The initial term of the Orveda license agreement is five years, with 2 five-year automatic renewals subject to the achievement of certain net revenue milestones. The principal terms of the license agreement are consistent with other Coty prestige licenses and the Board determined that the terms were no more favorable than to an unaffiliated third party.

These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, ~~the impact of COVID-19 and potential recovery scenarios,~~ strategic planning, targets and outlook for future reporting periods (including the extent and timing of revenue, expense and profit trends and changes in operating cash flows and cash flows from operating activities and investing activities), the impact of the sale of a majority stake in Coty’s Professional and Retail Hair business, including the Wella, Clairol, OPI and ghd brands, (together, the “Wella Business”) and the related transition services (the “TSA”), the wind down of the Company’s operations in Russia (including timing and expected impact), the Company’s future operations and strategy (including the expected implementation and related impact of its strategic priorities), ongoing and future cost efficiency, optimization and restructuring initiatives and programs, strategic transactions (including their expected timing and impact), expectations and/or plans with respect to joint ventures (including Wella and the timing and size of any related distribution or return of capital), the Company’s capital allocation strategy and payment of dividends (including suspension of dividend payments and the duration thereof and any plans to resume cash dividends on common stock or to continue to pay dividends in cash on preferred stock), investments, licenses and portfolio changes, product launches, relaunches or rebranding (including the expected timing or impact thereof), synergies, savings, performance, cost, timing and integration of acquisitions, including the strategic partnerships with Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian West, future cash flows, liquidity and borrowing capacity (including any refinancing or deleveraging activities), timing and size of cash outflows and debt deleveraging, the timing and extent of any future impairments, and synergies, savings, impact, cost, timing and implementation of the Company’s ~~Transformation Plan (as defined below), including~~ongoing transformation agenda (including operational and organizational structure changes, operational execution and simplification initiatives, fixed cost reductions, and supply chain ~~changes,~~changes), the impact, cost, timing and implementation of e-commerce and digital initiatives, expected impact, cost, timing and implementation of sustainability initiatives (including progress, plans and goals), the impact of COVID-19, the expected impact of geopolitical risks including the ongoing war in Ukraine on our business operations, sales outlook and strategy, the expected impact of global supply chain challenges and/or inflationary pressures (including as a result of COVID-19 and/or the war in Ukraine), and expectations regarding future service levels, and the priorities of senior management.

OVERVIEW

We are one of the world’s largest beauty companies, with an iconic portfolio of brands across fragrance, color cosmetics, and skin and body care. Through targeted strategic transactions, we have strengthened and diversified our presence across the countries, categories and channels in which we compete, building a strong beauty platform. ~~The King Kylie and Kim Kardashian West transactions complement our existing portfolio as personality-led Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) business models with strong social media engines.~~ As we transform the Company, we continue to make progress on our strategic priorities, including stabilizing and growing our Consumer Beauty brands through leading innovation and improved execution, accelerating our Prestige fragrance business and ongoing expansion into Prestige cosmetics, building a comprehensive skincare portfolio leveraging existing brands, enhancing our e-commerce and ~~DTC~~Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") capabilities, expanding our presence in China through Prestige products and select Consumer Beauty brands, and establishing Coty as an industry leader in sustainability.

The completion of the strategic Wella Transaction is a reflection of our intent to focus on our core go-to-market competencies and to simultaneously deleverage our balance sheet. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, we simplified our capital structure through a series of transactions with KKR Aggregator, as a result of which KKR Aggregator fully exited its ownership of Coty's shares. Cumulatively, such transactions resulted in annual dividend savings of approximately $77.0. Refer to Note 16—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock. As part of these transactions with KKR Aggregator, we exchanged a cumulative 14.1% interest in Wella to redeem a portion of the KKR Aggregator’s investment in our Series B Preferred Stock. The exchange transactions occurred at a premium to the value as of the date we sold Wella and illustrates the potential upside of the stand-alone business in the longer term. Our recent issuances of the senior secured notes, updated revolver facility and early bond redemption further demonstrate our commitment to improve the maturity profile of our debt and to deleverage our balance sheet. Refer to Note 12—Debt.

~~We expect that our reported net revenues for fiscal year 2022 will grow at the upper end of our low to mid-teens growth range versus the prior year, excluding the impact of foreign exchange.~~

We remain attentive to economic and geopolitical conditions that may materially impact our business. We continue to explore and implement risk mitigation strategies in the face of these unfolding conditions and remain agile in adopting to changing circumstances. Such conditions ~~– whether resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine War or any other events –~~ have or may have global implications which may impact the future performance of our business in unpredictable ways.

Our operations outside of the United States account for a significant portion of our revenues and expenses. As a result, a substantial portion of our total revenue and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Recently, exchange rates between these currencies and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so in the future. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may have a significant impact our operating results. During the first quarter, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to certain other foreign currencies – such as the euro and British pound – reduced our reported revenue and expenses, principally related to cost of sales, controllable fixed costs, and advertising and consumer

Global Supply Chain Challenges

While our revenues and overall product sales volume increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period, we continue to experience global supply chain challenges resulting from industry-wide component shortages and transportation delays. These challenges have negatively impacted order fill rates across our product categories, ~~across all segments~~including categories where there has been demand growth, particularly in the North America and ~~geographies. Most markets have recently shown encouraging signs of emergence from the pandemic; however, sporadic containment measures and travel restrictions continue to impact volume trends in~~ certain markets. However, the loosening of social distancing protocols and the gradual removal or reduction of travel restrictions in certain key markets have contributed to increased demand and sales growth, in most of the countries we operate in, with theEuropean countries.

We also continue to experience growth in e-commerce. During the current quarter,~~color cosmetics within our Consumer Beauty segment ~~has also shown strong signs of recovery over~~have been the ~~comparative period. However, many of our Consumer Beauty product categories~~most impacted by shipment and supplier components constraints.

We continue to ~~experience negative effects on sales volume due~~take steps to ~~changes in consumer behavior~~improve order fill rates and mitigate the impact of these constraints by working closely with our suppliers to ensure the availability of components such as ~~a result~~glass and metal. However, we expect these challenges to continue into the remainder of the ~~pandemic and continued social distancing measures in certain regions.~~

As previously reported, we have implemented several key measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which continue to be in place. We have also amplified our Transformation Plan, discussed below, to address the potentially longer-lasting impacts of the COVID-19, the intermittent lockdowns and possible economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 that continue in many markets. We anticipate the recovery to be non-linear until COVID-19 containment measures are discontinued across all regions and normal consumer traffic resumes on a consistent basis. We currently expect that any easing of containment measures and recovery of the impacted sectors of the economy will be gradual and uneven, as regions face resurgence of COVID-19 and related uncertainties, and the availability and widespread distribution of a safe and effective vaccine varies across regions. As a result, we anticipate that consumer spending habits and consumer confidence will continue to shift, causing future sales and volume trends to be non-linear.

An increase of COVID-19 related cases in certain parts of China resulted in the re-imposition of widespread lockdowns and restrictions in mid-March. As these lockdowns in China occurred late in the current quarter the impact to the Company was not significant. Looking forward, we believe that these lockdowns may have a negative impact on our operations in China, due to reduced customer traffic and supply chain constraints. Future impacts to our sales and operating performance, however are difficult to predict due to the high level of uncertainty regarding the duration and nature of the lockdowns.fiscal year 2023.

Inflation

Inflationary trends in certain markets and global supply chain challenges may negatively affect our sales and operating performance. We ~~experienced~~continued to experience the impact of ~~greater~~ inflation on material, logistical and other costs during the ~~current~~first quarter. ~~We were able to largely offset these inflationary costs through a~~The combination of ~~mix management,~~our strategy to premiumize the portfolio, cost savings programs, and recent pricing ~~and cost savings.~~actions are enabling us to offset inflationary pressure on costs. We currently anticipate the impact of inflation ~~in certain markets will be increasingly significant continuing~~to continue into the ~~fourth~~second quarter and second half fiscal 2023. We will continue to implement mitigation strategies and price increases to offset these trends; however, such measures may not fully offset the impact to our operating performance. After the resumption of more typical business conditions, the economics of developing, producing, launching, supporting and discontinuing products will continue to impact the timing of our sales and operating performance each period. ~~In addition, as product life cycles shorten, results are driven primarily by successfully developing, introducing and marketing new, innovative products.~~

Russia-Ukraine War

In February of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and is still engaged in active armed conflict against the country. As a result, governments of the United States, the European Union, and other countries have enacted additional sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. Our operations in Russia, including local Travel Retail, accounted for approximately 3% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2021. We ~~do not operate any stores, sales counters, e-commerce sites or industrial activities in Russia. We do not have any operations in Ukraine.~~

In March 2022 we paused all brand initiatives in Russia, as well as all media and advertisement and suspended the investment of any further capital in the country. The impact of the pause to our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was not material.

~~During April 2022, we announced our Board's decision~~continue to wind down the operations of our Russian ~~subsidiary as~~subsidiary. In connection with our wind down, we liquidated a ~~result~~portion of our remaining inventory in Russia, in accordance with applicable sanctions, during the ~~war and the related sanctions. Management estimates that the fourth quarter pretax charges~~first quarter. We anticipate incurring up to $9.0 of additional costs through completion of the wind down, ~~could be $100.0 or more, including related~~and future net cash ~~charges that are not expected~~costs of $30.0 to exceed $40.0. These charges would include the impact on the carrying value of certain indefinite-lived trademarks, long-lived assets and right-of-use-assets; separation costs; and accruals for contractual liabilities.$35.0, which will be funded by our Russian subsidiary. Additionally, management anticipates derecognizing the cumulative translation adjustment balance pertaining to the Russian subsidiary.

~~resulting from negative economic or geopolitical events in neighboring and other territories in which we operate, is currently unknown.~~

~~Transformation Plan Update~~

As previously reported, we are implementing a comprehensive transformation agenda (the “Transformation Plan”), which aims to stabilize and accelerate revenue growth, improve our profitability through gross margin growth and cost control, optimize our operating model for speed and agility, accelerate e-commerce and digital growth, and deleverage our balance sheet. This Transformation Plan is designed to adjust our cost base to allow us to exit the post-COVID recovery phase as a financially and operationally stronger, more nimble company, which is well positioned to capture growth opportunities. We are continually reviewing ways to accelerate and amplify the transformation of the Company, including through the implementation of additional initiatives in connection with our Transformation Plan. These organizational, business and structural changes are still being operationalized, which introduces additional risk and complexity as we roll out several initiatives simultaneously.

~~Other Matters~~

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, our CODM finalized the Company's organizational structure and how performance will be assessed, and we realigned our reportable segments to a principally product category-based structure, comprised of a Prestige business segment and a Consumer Beauty business segment beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures for continuing operations and Coty Inc. including Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Coty Inc. to common stockholders (collectively, the “Adjusted Performance Measures”). The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in tables below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of the business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in the beauty industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Despite the limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures, our management uses the Adjusted Performance Measures as key metrics in the evaluation of our performance and annual budgets and to benchmark performance of our business against our competitors. The following are examples of how these Adjusted Performance Measures are utilized by our management:

•strategic plans and annual budgets are prepared using the Adjusted Performance Measures;

•senior management receives a monthly analysis comparing budget to actual operating results that is prepared using the Adjusted Performance Measures; and

•senior management’s annual compensation is calculated, in part, by using some of the Adjusted Performance Measures.

In addition, our financial covenant compliance calculations under our debt agreements are substantially derived from these Adjusted Performance Measures.

Table of Content s

Our management believes that Adjusted Performance Measures are useful to investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of the Company. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures address questions we routinely receive from analysts and investors and, in order to ensure that all investors have access to the same data, our management has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors. The Adjusted Performance Measures exclude the impact of certain items (as further described below) and provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance. By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, our management intends to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as such measures allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. We provide disclosure of the effects of these non-GAAP financial measures by presenting the corresponding measure prepared in conformity with GAAP in our financial statements, and by providing a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measure so that investors may understand the adjustments made in arriving at the non-GAAP financial measures and use the information to perform their own analyses.

Adjusted operating income/Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations excludes restructuring costs and business structure realignment programs, amortization, acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and acquisition accounting impacts, stock-based compensation, and asset impairment charges and other adjustments as described below. For adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the preceding, we exclude adjusted depreciation as defined below. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of such items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and

~~Table of Contents~~

significance. They are primarily incurred to realign our operating structure and integrate new acquisitions, and implement divestitures of components of our business, and fluctuate based on specific facts and circumstances. Additionally, Adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. and Adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. per common share are adjusted for certain interest and other (income) expense items and preferred stock deemed dividends, as described below, and the related tax effects of each of the items used to derive Adjusted net income as such charges are not used by our management in assessing our operating performance period-to-period.

Adjusted Performance Measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

•Costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities: We have excluded acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and the accounting impacts such as those related to transaction costs and costs associated with the revaluation of acquired inventory in connection with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction. Additionally, for divestitures, we exclude write-offs of assets that are no longer recoverable and contract related costs due to the divestiture. The nature and amount of such costs vary significantly based on the size and timing of the acquisitions and divestitures, and the maturities of the businesses being acquired or divested. Also, the size, complexity and/or volume of past transactions, which often drives the magnitude of such expenses, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of any future acquisitions or divestitures.

•Restructuring and other business realignment costs: We have excluded costs associated with restructuring and business structure realignment programs to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. In addition, the nature and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. By excluding the referenced expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures, our management is able to further evaluate our ability to utilize existing assets and estimate their long-term value. Furthermore, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

•Asset impairment charges: We have excluded the impact of asset impairments as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

•Amortization expense: We have excluded the impact of amortization of finite-lived intangible assets, as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance. Although we exclude amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP expenses, our management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.

•~~Loss/(Gain) on divestitures~~Costs related to market exit: We have excluded the impact of direct incremental costs related to our decision to wind down our business operations in Russia. We believe that these direct and ~~Gain~~incremental costs are inconsistent and infrequent in nature. Consequently, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

•Gains on sale of real estate: We have excluded the impact of ~~Loss/(gain) on divestitures and Gain~~Gains on sale of real estate as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the size of ~~divestitures and sale of real estate.~~the sale. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

•Stock-based compensation: Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we have excluded the effect of these expenses from the calculation of adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA. This is due to their primarily non-cash nature; in addition, the amount and timing of these expenses may be highly variable and unpredictable, which may negatively affect comparability between periods.

•Depreciation and Adjusted depreciation: Our adjusted operating income excludes the impact of accelerated depreciation for certain restructuring projects that affect the expected useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment, as such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. Further, we have excluded adjusted depreciation, which represents depreciation expense net of accelerated depreciation charges, from our adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

•Other (income) expense: We have excluded the write-off of deferred financing fees and discounts that resulted from the pay down of our term debt from the proceeds of the Wella sale, due to the requirements of the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended. Our management believes these costs do not reflect our underlying ongoing business, and the adjustment of such costs helps investors and others compare and analyze performance from period to period. We have also excluded the impact of pension curtailment (gains) and losses and pension settlements as such events are triggered by our restructuring and other business realignment activities and the amount of such charges vary significantly based

on the size and timing of the programs. Further, we have excluded the change in fair value of the investment in Wella, as our management believes these unrealized (gains) and losses do not reflect our underlying ongoing business, and the adjustment of such impact helps investors and others compare and analyze performance from period to period. We have excluded the gain on the exchange of Series B Preferred Stock. ~~The transaction was entered into to simplify our capital structure and~~Such transactions do not reflect our ~~underlying ongoing business.~~operating results and we have excluded the impact as our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.

•Noncontrolling interest: This adjustment represents the after-tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments included in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests based on the relevant ~~non-controlling~~noncontrolling interest percentage.

•Tax: This adjustment represents the impact of the tax effect of the pretax items excluded from Adjusted net income. The tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is based on the tax rates related to the jurisdiction in which the adjusted items are received or incurred. Additionally, adjustments are made for the tax impact of any intra-entity transfer of assets and liabilities.

•Deemed Preferred Stock Dividends: We have excluded preferred stock deemed dividends related to the First Exchange and the Second Exchange (as defined in Note ~~16—~~14—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock) from our calculation of adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. These deemed dividends are nonmonetary in nature, the transactions were entered into to simplify our capital structure and do not reflect our underlying ongoing business. Management believes that this adjustment helps investors and others compare and analyze our performance from period to period.

While acquiring brands and licenses comprises a part of our overall growth strategy, along with targeting organic growth opportunities, we have excluded acquisition-related costs and acquisition accounting impacts in connection with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction and the amount and frequency are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Our management assesses the success of an acquisition as a component of performance using a variety of indicators depending on the size and nature of the acquisition, including:

•the scale of the combined company by evaluating consolidated and segment financial metrics;

•the expansion of product offerings by evaluating segment, brand, and geographic performance and the respective strength of the brands;

•the evaluation of share expansion in categories and geographies;

•the earnings per share accretion and substantial incremental free cash flow generation providing financial flexibility for us; and

•the comparison of actual and projected results, including achievement of projected synergies, post integration; provided that timing for any such comparison will depend on the size and complexity of the acquisition.

Constant Currency

We operate on a global basis, with the majority of our net revenues generated outside of the U.S. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect our results of operations. Therefore, to supplement financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, certain financial information is presented in “constant currency”, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We calculate constant currency information by translating current and prior-period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars using prior year foreign currency exchange rates. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate. The constant currency information we present may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Basis of Presentation of Acquisitions, Divestitures and Terminations

During the period when we complete an acquisition, divestiture or early license termination, the financial results of the current year period are not comparable to the financial results presented in the prior year period. When explaining such changes from period to period and to maintain a consistent basis between periods, we exclude the financial contribution of: (i) the acquired brands or businesses in the current year period until we have twelve months of comparable financial results and (ii) the divested brands or businesses or early terminated brands, to maintain comparable financial results with the current fiscal year period. There are no acquisitions, divestitures or early license terminations in the comparable periods that would impact the comparability of financial results between periods presented in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As the sale of the Wella Business was completed on November 30, 2020, no net revenues or operating expenses from discontinued operations were recorded in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022. Net income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 reflects certain working capital adjustments net of the related income tax impact. Financial results for the Wella Business for fiscal year 2021 are presented as discontinued operations.

NET REVENUES

In the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, net revenues increased ~~15%~~1%, or ~~$158.4,~~$18.3, to ~~$1,186.2~~$1,390.0 from ~~$1,027.8~~$1,371.7 in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, reflecting ~~an increase in unit volume of 10%, and~~ a positive price and mix impact of 9%, partially offset by a negative foreign currency exchange translation impact of 4%. The overall increase in net revenues primarily reflects the reopening of stores across regions, increased leisure travel due to reduced COVID restrictions. A number of countries continued to experience rolling lockdowns; however, these lockdowns were confined to certain localities. Increased foot traffic6% and demand had a favorable impact on both the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, with the highest impact on the Prestige segment. In addition, the Prestige segment benefited from various strong and successful launches such as ~~Gucci Flora~~, ~~Burberry Hero, and the relaunch of~~ ~~Kylie~~ cosmetics. Consumer Beauty segment also experienced significant net revenue increase due to market share gain as a result of a repositioning and reinvestment in key color cosmetics brands. Furthermore, the growth of e-commerce and continued expansion in the U.S. contributed to the net revenue increase.

~~Prestige~~

~~In the three months ended March 31, 2022, net revenues from the Prestige segment increased 21%, or $125.1 to $726.4 compared to $601.3 in the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting~~ an increase in unit volume ~~of 19%, and a positive price and mix impact of 6%, partially offset by a negative foreign currency exchange translation impact of 4%. This increase in net revenues primarily reflects:~~

~~(i)~~an increase in net revenues from the travel retail business as many localities, particularly in North America, Europe, and China, had reduced travel restrictions and reopened for leisure travel as they emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic;

~~(ii)an increase in net revenues from the new launches of~~ ~~Gucci Flora, Burberry Hero, Chloe Atelier des Fleurs, Hugo Boss The Scent~~,~~and the global relaunch of~~ ~~Kylie~~ ~~cosmetics in the current fiscal year, as well as the continued success of~~ ~~Gucci Bloom, Burberry Her, Gucci Guilty~~ ~~and~~ ~~Gucci Makeup~~;

~~(iii)an increase in net revenues driven by market category growth in most markets amid a post COVID-19 recovery;~~

~~(iv)~~an increase in net revenues as a result of an overall premiumization strategy focusing on premium plus brands, selling new launches at higher prices, and reducing tail lines resulting in more optimized shelf space utilization; and

~~(v)an increase in the U.S. net revenues for improvements in returns trends for~~ ~~philosophy~~ ~~and fragrance brands.~~

~~These increases in net revenues were partially offset by lower net revenues due to strategic initiatives to reduce sales through lower priced channels.~~

~~Consumer Beauty~~

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, net revenues from the Consumer Beauty segment increased 8%, or $33.3, to $459.8 from $426.5 in the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting an increase in unit volume of 8%, and a positive price and mix impact of 2%, partially offset by a negative foreign currency exchange translation impact of 2%7%. The overall increase in net revenues reflects growth in our Consumer Beauty segment due to positive performance across the body care, skincare, and color cosmetics categories. Net revenues in our Prestige segment remained relatively flat, benefiting from the positive performance in the prestige fragrance category due to the continued success of fragrance brands such as Gucci, Burberry, and Calvin Klein. The prestige makeup category, negatively impacted by lockdowns in China, experienced a decline in net revenues. The overall increase in net revenues reflects the successful implementation of global price increases across all product categories, our product premiumization strategy, and positive overall market trends. Additionally, there was growth in travel retail sales due to increased leisure travel in the period. E-commerce sales remained relatively flat, led by growth in Europe partially offset by declines across the US, and the Asia Pacific region partially due to lockdowns in China. Despite overall growth, foreign exchange headwinds negatively impacted net revenues, primarily affecting the euro and British pound.

The overall change in net revenues was impacted by our ongoing exit from Russia, resulting in an approximate 2% negative net impact on our net revenues in the current quarter, including an approximate 2% negative net impact on our Prestige business net revenues.

These decreases in net revenues were offset by:

The increase in net revenues primarily reflects:

(i)an increase in net revenues from body care brands led by Adidas and Monange. Both brands had increases in net revenue due to positive pricing impact and product mix. Additionally, the phasing for upcoming holiday sales and ~~better focus on planning~~early stages of the re-launch of the Adidas brand and the re-launch of the Monange brand with increased media spendin Brazil contributed to the increase in net revenues;

(iii)an increase in net revenues due to ~~market recovery~~price increases across the Consumer Beauty product portfolio.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net revenues for Sally Hansen products, resulting from the continued decline for demand for at-home nail care compared to the prior year quarter where COVID-19 restrictions had resulted in fewer nail salon visits and ~~positive market share uplift~~positively impacted the nail category and the brand's net revenue in the ~~color cosmetics and fragrance categories, increasing customer demand and store traffic, which positively impacted all brands within the segment.~~prior year quarter.

Restructuring and Other Business Realignment Costs

We continue to analyze our cost structure, including opportunities to simplify and optimize operations. In connection with the four-year Turnaround plan announced on July 1, 2019 to drive substantial improvement and optimization in our business, we have and expect to continue to incur restructuring and other business realignment costs. On May 11, 2020, we announced an expansion of the Turnaround Plan to further reduce fixed costs, the Transformation Plan. We incurred ~~$419.3~~$483.0 of cash costs life-to-date as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, which have been recorded in Corporate.

In the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we incurred a credit in restructuring and other business structure realignment costs of ~~$3.7,~~$0.8, as follows:

•We incurred a credit in restructuring costs of ~~$6.8~~$1.2 primarily related to the Transformation Plan ~~due to the change~~changes in ~~estimate,~~estimates, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations; and

This increase is primarily due to ~~the impact of~~a higher average interest ~~rates and debt, although~~rate despite lower debt balances in the current ~~period remain below prior year levels.~~period.

OTHER INCOME ~~NET~~

In the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, other income ~~net~~ was ~~$60.6~~$(98.2) as compared with ~~$62.5~~$(386.1) in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. This decrease in income is primarily due to a ~~lower income resulting from~~less favorable fair value adjustment related to our investment in the Wella Company compared to the prior period, in addition to unfavorable changes in the fair value ~~adjustment to the Wella equity investment in the current period.~~adjustments for our forward repurchase contracts.

INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 was ~~0.9%~~34.1% and ~~(177.8)%~~33.4%, respectively. The positive effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 results from reporting income before taxes and a provision for income taxes. The negative effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 results from reporting income before income taxes and a benefit for income taxes. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, as compared with the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, is primarily due to larger fair value gains related to the ~~resolution of foreign uncertain tax positions having a greater proportional effect~~investment in the ~~prior period as well as the limitation on the deductibility of executive stock compensation~~Wella business recorded in the ~~current~~prior period.

The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates, (ii) adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest, (iii) non-deductible expenses, (iv) audit settlements and (v) valuation allowance changes. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly and could be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries that have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher statutory rates.

~~(b)~~The tax effects of each of the items included in adjusted income are calculated in a manner that results in a corresponding income tax expense/provision for adjusted income. In preparing the calculation, each adjustment to reported income is first analyzed to determine if the adjustment has an income tax consequence. The provision for taxes is then calculated based on the jurisdiction in which the adjusted items are incurred, multiplied by the respective statutory rates and offset by the increase or reversal of any valuation allowances commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability.

~~Table of Contents~~

The adjusted effective tax rate was 34.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 18.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The differences were primarily due to the resolution of foreign uncertain tax positions having a greater proportional effect in the prior period.

~~DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS~~

As the sale of the Wella Business was completed on November 30, 2020, no net revenues or operating expenses from discontinued operations were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflects certain working capital adjustments net of the related income tax impact.

~~NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO COTY INC.~~

Net income attributable to Coty Inc. was $53.6 in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to a loss of $15.6 in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in the income is primarily driven by higher operating income in the current year and the loss on sale of the Wella Business, which was recorded in the comparative period.

~~NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 AS COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021~~

~~NET REVENUES~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net revenues increased 16%, or $568.6, to $4,136.1 from $3,567.5 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting an increase in unit volume of 6%, and a positive price and mix impact of 11%, partially offset by a negative foreign currency exchange translation impact of 1%. The overall increase in net revenues primarily reflects the reopening of stores across regions, increased leisure travel due to reduced COVID restrictions. A number of countries continued to experience rolling lockdowns; however, these lockdowns were confined to certain localities. Increased foot traffic and demand had a favorable impact on both the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, with the highest impact on the Prestige segment. In addition, the Prestige segment benefited from various strong and successful launches such as ~~Gucci Flora~~, ~~Burberry Hero~~, ~~Tiffany Rose Gold, and the relaunch of~~ ~~Kylie~~ cosmetics. Consumer Beauty segment also experienced significant net revenue increase due to COVID-19 recovery and market share gain as a result of a repositioning and reinvestment in key color cosmetics brands. Furthermore, the growth of e-commerce and continued expansion in the U.S. and China contributed to the net revenue increase

~~Net Revenues by Segment~~

(in millions) 2022 2021 Change %
NET REVENUES
Prestige $ 2,605.1 $ 2,149.5 21 %
Consumer Beauty 1,531.0 1,418.0 8 %
Total $ 4,136.1 $ 3,567.5 16 %

~~Prestige~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net revenues from the Prestige segment increased 21%, or $455.6, to $2,605.1 from $2,149.5 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting an increase in unit volume of 17%, and a positive price and mix impact of 5%, partially offset by a negative foreign currency exchange translation impact of 1%. The increase in net revenues primarily reflects:

~~(i)~~an increase in net revenues driven by market growth in the U.S. and Europe amid a post COVID-19 recovery, as well as from the travel retail business as many localities, particularly in North America, Europe, and China, had reduced travel restrictions and reopened for leisure travel as they emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic;

~~(ii)an increase in net revenues from the new launches of~~ ~~Gucci Flora, Burberry Hero, Chloe Atelier des Fleurs, Tiffany Rose Gold~~, ~~CK Defy,~~ ~~and the global relaunch of~~ ~~Kylie~~ ~~cosmetics in the current fiscal year, as well as the continued success of~~ ~~Gucci Bloom, Burberry Her, Marc Jacobs Perfect~~, ~~Gucci Guilty, and~~ ~~Gucci Makeup~~;

~~(iii)~~an increase in net revenues due to positive pricing impact and product mix as a result of global price increase and an overall premiumization strategy focusing on premium plus brands, selling new launches at higher prices, and reducing tail lines resulting in more optimized shelf space utilization;

~~(iv)an increase in net revenues due to growth of e-commerce across the regions, distribution expansion in China, and additional shelf space in the U.S. retail stores; and~~

~~(v)an increase in net revenues for improvements in returns trends for~~ ~~philosophy~~ ~~and U.S. fragrance brands, as well as from~~ ~~Kylie~~ ~~cosmetics due to a shelf reset for a major customer in the prior year which did not occur in the current year.~~

~~These increases in net revenue were partially offset by:~~

~~(i)lower net revenues due to strategic initiatives to reduce sales through lower priced channels; and~~

~~(ii)lower net revenues related to~~ ~~Kylie~~ ~~skin products due to less innovation in the current fiscal year.~~

~~Consumer Beauty~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net revenues from the Consumer Beauty segment increased 8%, or $113.0, to $1,531.0 from $1,418.0 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting an increase in unit volume of 5%, and a positive price and mix impact of 3%. The increase in net revenues primarily reflects:

~~Table of Contents~~

~~(i)an increase in net revenues due to market share gain from the key color cosmetics brands as a result of new brand positioning and enhanced support for these brands;~~

~~(ii)~~an increase in net revenues due to market recovery from COVID-19 and positive market share uplift in the color cosmetics and fragrance categories, increasing customer demand and store traffic, as well as a healthy growth in e-commerce, which positively impacted all brands within the segment; and

~~(iii)~~an increase in net revenues due to reduction in sales returns, discounts and allowances as a result of fewer shelf resets in the period and improvements in forecasting sales and better focus on planning for new products.

~~These increases in net revenue were partially offset by lower net revenues as a result of license expiration from~~ ~~Beyonce~~ ~~and~~ ~~Stetson~~.

~~COST OF SALES~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, cost of sales increased 3%, or $48.4, to $1,489.0 from $1,440.6 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 36.0% in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 from 40.4% in the nine months ended March 31, 2021 resulting in a gross margin increase of approximately 440 basis points primarily reflecting:

~~(i)~~approximately 270 basis points related to positive product and category mix associated with increased contribution from higher margin Prestige products, reduced sales of products through lower priced channels, as well as price increases within our product portfolio;

~~(ii)approximately 80 basis points related to manufacturing overhead costs and variable costs due to increased manufacturing efficiencies and improvements in productivity;~~

~~(iii)~~approximately 70 basis points related to decreased excess and obsolescence expense on inventory due to higher than normal costs in the prior year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as improvements in the current fiscal year in forecasting sales and better focus on planning for new products;

~~(iv)~~approximately 50 basis points primarily related to reductions in Consumer Beauty, as a percentage of revenues, in promotional allowances and other trade spend items, which are recorded as adjustments to net sales;

~~(v)approximately 30 basis points related to designer license fees due to higher royalty minimum paid in the prior year; and~~

~~(vi)approximately 30 basis points related to freight expense, reflecting both the contribution from our cost savings measures as well as the increased volume of higher priced Prestige products sold.~~

~~These increases were partially offset by approximately 90 basis points related to the impact of inflation on material and freight costs.~~

~~SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 22%, or $384.0, to $2,154.5 from $1,770.5 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 52.1% in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 from 49.6% in the nine months ended March 31, 2021, or approximately 250 basis points. This increase was primarily due to:

~~(i)~~620 basis points due to increase in advertising and consumer promotional costs related to support for certain key brands and product launches, as well as increased store promotions coinciding with store reopenings as COVID restrictions ease; and

~~(ii)330 basis points in stock-based compensation primarily related to the CEO grant made on June 30, 2021.~~

~~These increases were partially offset by the following decreases:~~

~~(i)360 basis points in administrative costs primarily due to a decrease in compensation related to a reduction in employee headcount;~~

~~(ii)300 basis points related to gain on sale of real estate; and~~

~~(iii)50 basis points related to lower logistics costs as a percentage of net revenue.~~

~~OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, operating income was $318.3 compared to a loss of $50.4 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Operating margin as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 7.7% in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to an operating loss as a percentage of net revenues of 1.4% in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The improved operating margin is largely driven by lower cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues, a reduction in fixed costs, decrease in acquisition and divestiture related expenses, gain recognized on sale of real estate, decrease in restructuring expense, and lower amortization expense, partially offset by an increase in advertising and consumer promotional costs and higher stock-based compensation.

Operating margin increased to 13.7% of net revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 8.2% in the nine months ended March 31, 2021, driven primarily by higher sales volume, lower cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues, lower fixed costs as a percentage of net revenues and a decrease in amortization expense, partially offset by an increase in advertising and consumer promotional costs.

~~Consumer Beauty~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, operating income for Consumer Beauty was $34.3 compared to income of $25.8 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Operating margin increased to 2.2% of net revenues in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 1.8% in the nine months ended March 31, 2021, driven by higher sales volume, a reduction in fixed costs, lower cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenues, and a decrease in amortization expense, partially offset by an increase in advertising and consumer promotional costs.

~~Corporate~~

Corporate primarily includes corporate expenses not directly related to our operating activities. These items are included in Corporate since we consider them to be Corporate responsibilities, and these items are not used by our management to measure the underlying performance of the segments.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the operating loss for Corporate was $73.5 compared to a loss of $251.9 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021, as described under “Adjusted Operating Income for Coty Inc.” below.

~~Restructuring and Other Business Realignment Costs~~

We continue to analyze our cost structure, including opportunities to simplify and optimize operations. In connection with the four-year Turnaround plan announced on July 1, 2019 to drive substantial improvement and optimization in our business, we have and expect to continue to incur restructuring and other business realignment costs. On May 11, 2020 we announced an expansion of the Turnaround Plan to further reduce fixed costs, the Transformation Plan. We incurred $419.3 of cash costs life-to-date as of March 31, 2022, which have been recorded in Corporate.

~~In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred restructuring and other business structure realignment costs of $9.6, as follows:~~

•~~We incurred restructuring costs of $1.5 primarily related to the Transformation Plan, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.~~

•We incurred business structure realignment costs of $8.1 primarily related to our Transformation plan and certain other programs. This amount includes $8.4 reported in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and a credit of $0.3 reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

~~In the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred restructuring and other business structure realignment costs of $97.4 as follows:~~

•~~We incurred restructuring costs of $89.7 primarily related to the Turnaround Plan, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.~~

•We incurred business structure realignment costs of $7.7 primarily related to our Turnaround plan. This amount includes $4.6 reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses, and $3.1 reported in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

~~In all reported periods, all restructuring and other business realignment costs were reported in Corporate.~~

~~Stock-based compensation~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, stock-based compensation was $164.3 as compared with $26.8 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in stock-based compensation is primarily related to the CEO grant made on June 30, 2021.

~~In all reported periods, all costs related to stock-based compensation were reported in Corporate.~~

~~Acquisition and Divestiture Activities~~

~~In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred $14.2 of costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities. These costs were primarily associated with the Wella Transaction.~~

~~In the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred $127.7 of cost relating to acquisition and divestiture activities. These costs were primarily associated with the Wella Transaction.~~

~~In all reported periods, all costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities were reported in Corporate.~~

~~Gain on Sale of Real Estate~~

~~In the nine months ended March 31, 2022 we recognized gain of $114.6 related to sale of real estate.~~

~~In the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we did not recognize any gain related to sale of real estate.~~

~~In all reported periods, all gains related to sale of real estate were reported in Corporate.~~

~~Adjusted depreciation expense~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, adjusted depreciation expense of $107.7 and $114.8 was reported in the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, respectively. In the nine months ended March 31, 2021, adjusted depreciation expense of $109.3 and $134.3 was reported in the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, respectively.

~~INTEREST EXPENSE, NET~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net interest expense was $183.6 as compared with $171.6 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. This increase is primarily due to the impact of higher average interest rates and debt, although debt balances in the current period remain below prior year levels.

~~OTHER INCOME, NET~~

In the nine months ended March 31, 2022, other income, net was $572.9 as compared with an expense of $50.7 in the nine months ended March 31, 2021. This increase is primarily due to a favorable adjustment of $579.0 related to the realized and unrealized gain in the Wella investment.

~~INCOME TAXES~~

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 23.2% and 178.0%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the prior period is primarily due to the limitation on the deductibility of executive stock compensation and large fair value gains related to the investment in the Wella business in the current period as well as a benefit related to a change in the Company's main principal location of $220.5 recorded in the prior period. The benefit recorded in the prior period was the result of a tax rate differential on the deferred taxes recognized on the transfer of assets and liabilities, following the relocation of the Company's main principal location from Geneva to Amsterdam.

The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of: (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates, (ii) adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest; (iii) non-deductible expenses, (iv) audit settlements and (v) valuation allowance changes. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly and could be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries that have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher statutory rates.

In addition, the resolution of foreign uncertain tax positions ~~having a greater proportional effect~~ in the prior ~~year.~~

~~DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS~~

As the sale of the Wella Business was completed on November 30, 2020, no net revenues or operating expenses from discontinued operations were recorded in the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 reflects certain working capital adjustments net of the related income tax impact. On December 22, 2021, we entered into an agreement with the KKR Bidco related to post-closing adjustments to the purchase consideration for the Wella Business. As part of this agreement, we may receive future contingent proceeds. Earning the contingent proceeds is based on the future recovery of certain tax credits of the Wella Business.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Our primary sources of funds include cash expected to be generated from operations, borrowings from issuance of debt and lines of credit provided by banks and lenders in the U.S. and abroad.

Our cash flows are subject to seasonal variation throughout the year, including demands on cash made during our first fiscal quarter in anticipation of higher global sales during the second fiscal quarter and strong cash generation in the second fiscal quarter as a result of increased demand by retailers associated with the holiday season.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund planned operating expenditures, capital expenditures, business structure realignment expenditures, interest payments, acquisitions, dividends, share repurchases and any principal payments on debt. Working

Table of Content s

capital movements are influenced by the sourcing of materials related to the production of products. Cash and working capital management initiatives, including the phasing of vendor payments and factoring of trade receivables from time-to-time, may also impact the timing and amount of our operating cash flows.

In the first half of fiscal 2022, we simplified our capital structure through a series of transactions with KKR Aggregator, as a result of which KKR Aggregator fully exited its ownership of Coty's shares. Cumulatively, such transactions resulted in annual dividend savings of approximately $77.0. Refer to Note 16—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we received a shareholder distribution of $210.7 from our equity investment in Wella, which resulted in incremental cash on hand at the end of the quarter, which we subsequently used to repay debt. We currently anticipate that we will receive an additional distribution of approximately $29.0 in the fourth quarter, which final amount may be impacted by currency exchange fluctuation and other factors. Management expects to use any future distributions from the Wella investment to pay down debt.

Due to the current status of Brazil's capital markets, we have withdrawn our previously announced filing with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, Comissão de Valores Mobiliários. Going forward, we will monitor Brazil's capital markets to assess the timing and feasibility of a potential public offering of a minority stake in our Brazilian operations.

~~During April 2022, we announced our Board's decision~~continue to wind down the operations of our Russian ~~subsidiary as a result~~subsidiary. We anticipate incurring up to $9.0 of ~~the war and the related sanctions. Management estimates that the fourth quarter pretax charges~~additional costs through completion of the wind down, ~~could be $100.0 or more, including related~~and future net cash ~~charges that are not expected~~costs of $30.0 to ~~exceed $40.0. The wind down of~~$35.0, which will be funded by our Russian ~~subsidiary is at an early stage~~subsidiary. The amount of future costs, including cash costs, will be subject to various factors, such as additional government regulation and the ~~execution~~resolution of ~~the wind down may result in changes to our estimated loss or expected cash flows due to uncertainties surrounding the actions of the local government, customers, vendors and other counterparties.~~

~~Our response to the impact of COVID-19~~

In response to the ongoing risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to utilize a number of measures to bolster our liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility. Such measures include actively aligning operating expenses to the current state of the business, initiatives to improve cash flow and hiring and travel restrictions. We have also reduced advertising and consumer promotion costs for sales channels heavily impacted by the pandemic. However, as certain

~~Table of Contents~~

~~markets have reopened, we have increased these expenditures to bolster key brands and product launches. We will continue to actively manage our working capital to support our liquidity needs.~~

Despite encouraging signs of recovery, the impact and duration of COVID-19 on our business continues to be uncertain. Further, inflationary trends in certain markets and global supply chain challenges may negatively affect our sales and operating performance. The impact on the first half of 2022 was not significant. However, we experienced the impact of greater inflation on material, logistical and other costs during the current quarter and we anticipate more material headwinds from inflation in the fourth quarter and into fiscal 2023.We intend to offset the incremental inflation impacts by increasing prices in selected markets. We will continue to implement mitigation strategies and price increases to offset these trends; however, such measures may not fully offset the impact to our operating performance. However, as a result of cash on hand and our plans to manage expenses, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and covenant headroom to meet our foreseeable business operating and recurring cash needs (including for debt service and capital expenditures). To address the potentially longer-lasting impacts of COVID-19, we have implemented a plan to reduce our cost base by the end of fiscal 2023, with additional plans for savings in fiscal 2024. This plan includes an adaptation of our supply network, organizational changes, renegotiation of purchasing and licensing agreements, as well as a reduction of certain discretionary expenses.

legal contingencies.

Debt

~~We are in the process of deleveraging our company and improving the maturity mix of our debt, including through consideration of refinancing or redemption of a portion of our debt.~~

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we refinanced $900.0 of our dollar-denominated term loan debt and €700.0 million (approximately $833.3 as of June 30, 2021) of our euro-denominated term loan debt that were scheduled to mature in 2023 with new senior secured notes that mature in 2026.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we replaced our two existing classes of revolving commitments, having an aggregate principal amount of $2,750.0, with a single class of revolving commitments, having an aggregate principal amount of $2,000.0 due April 2025, and issued $500.0 of senior secured notes due January 2029. We used the net proceeds of these offerings to repay portions of the term loans outstanding under the existing credit facilities originally due April 2023 and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses thereto.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we issued a notice of full redemption of our 2023 euro-denominated notes in the amount of €550.0 million (approximately $606.4 at the redemption date), which we redeemed on April 15, 2022, by utilizing cash on hand and drawing down on our revolving credit facility, thereby accelerating our deleveraging trajectory.

See Note ~~12—~~10—Debt in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our debt arrangements and prior period credit agreements.

These activities improved our medium term liquidity. As noted above, our Convertible Series B Preferred stock was fully converted and exchanged as of December 31, 2021, which reduces our future commitment to preferred shareholders improving our ability to reduce our external debt. As we refinance our debt in order to extend maturing obligations, the applicable interest rates have been, and are likely to continue to be, higher than previous applicable interest rates, due in large part to prevailing macroeconomic conditions and our credit ratings at the time.

Factoring of Receivables

From time to time, we supplement the timing of our cash flows through the factoring of trade receivables. In this regard, we have entered into factoring arrangements with financial institutions.

The net amount utilized under the factoring facilities was ~~$156.7~~$177.8 and ~~$133.6~~$179.3 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. The aggregate amount of trade receivable invoices factored on a worldwide basis amounted to ~~$813.1~~$346.0 and ~~$574.5~~$264.2 during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $122.5 was primarily driven by higher net outflows from changes throughout working capital accounts, which were partially offset by an increase in cash related net income during the first three months of the current fiscal year. Changes in accrued expenses and other current liabilities were the main driver of the increase in outflows from working capital accounts, which was primarily due to timing of payments and accruals for restructuring and sales related activities. Changes in cash related net income reflects higher net revenues and lower costs as a percentage of net revenues year over.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $75.0 and $45.0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash ~~flows from operating~~used in investing activities of ~~$473.1~~$30.0 was ~~primarily driven by higher inflows from changes in Accounts payable as a result of the prior year impact of greater than usual outflows~~ due to the timing of payments and positive net impacts from the receivables/payables associated with Wella throughout changes in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Prepaid and other current assets. Cash flows from operating activities were also higher in the current year as a result of lower cash payments for interest, restructuring and operating lease related activities which were partially offset by higher outflows in the current year for income taxes due to the prior year cash inflows from refunds related to overestimated tax payments.

~~Net cash provided by investing activities~~

Net cash provided by investing activities was $281.4 and $2,472.1 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in cash flows provided by investing activities of $2,190.7 was primarily driven by lower year over year cash flows resulting from the prior year impact of the net cash proceeds of $2,374.1 from the sale of the Wella Business and the prior year's returnlevel of capital under Coty's equity investment, which was $237.3 larger than the in current year. The current year was positively impacted by the prior year outflows of $200.0 for the purchase of 20% KKW Holdings equity investment and related license agreement which did not reoccur in the current year, higher proceeds from the sale of long-term assets of $165.4 and the current year $34.0 receipt of contingent proceeds related to the Wella Business tax credits.expenditure projects.

The decrease in cash used in financing activities of ~~$2,099.7~~$34.9 is primarily driven by ~~lower~~is driven by net proceeds from borrowings on revolving credit facilities in the current year compared to net repayments in the prior year as well as higher payments in the prior year for accrued and incurred debt issuance costs and prior year purchase of the remaining mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest. Higher cash outflows from realized losses on financing foreign currency contracts was the primary offset to the overall year over year outflows from long-term debt related activities of $2,551.3, which principally related to net repayments associated with our available revolving credit facility resulting from the prior year use of proceeds from the sale of the Wella Business to pay down debt. Additionally, we received $500.0 of proceeds from the issuance of senior secured notes during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The main drivers partially offsetting the decrease in cash used in the current year to pay down debt, include the impact of the prior year proceeds of $227.2 from the issuance of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock combined with the impact of current year cash outflows for dividend payments on Series B Preferred Stock of $52.5. Additionally, there were higher cash outflows for settlements of financing ~~related foreign currency contracts of $114.4 and current year payments of $39.3 for deferred financing fees.~~activities.

Dividends

On April 29, 2020, our Board of Directors suspended the payment of dividends, in keeping with our 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended. As we focus on preserving cash, we expect to suspend the payment of dividends until we reach a Net debt to Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of 2x. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

We had undrawn letters of credit of ~~$14.3~~$13.6 and ~~$15.0~~$14.3 and bank guarantees of ~~$20.3~~$16.1 and ~~$31.2~~$17.2 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively.

Contractual Obligations

~~See Note 11—Leases and Note 12—Debt for updates to our contractual obligations resulting from the Wella Transaction.~~

Our principal contractual obligations and commitments as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 are summarized in Item 7 - ~~“Management's~~“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Contractual Obligations and Commitments,” of our Fiscal ~~2021~~2022 Form ~~10-K, except as noted above.~~10-K. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that the critical accounting policies listed below involve our more significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and, therefore, could have the greatest potential impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

•Revenue Recognition;

•Equity Investments;

•Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets;

•Business Combinations;

•Inventory; and

•Income Taxes.

~~Below are disclosures regarding our equity investments, goodwill and other intangible assets.~~ As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, there have been no ~~other~~ material changes to the items disclosed as critical accounting policies and estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II—Item 7 of our Fiscal ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K.

~~Equity Investments~~

We elected the fair value option to account for our investment in the Wella Business to align with the our strategy for this investment. The fair value is updated on a quarterly basis. The investments are classified within Level 3 in the fair value

Table of ~~Contents~~Content s

hierarchy because we estimate the fair value of the investments using a combination of the income approach, the market approach and private transactions, when applicable. The weighting of the approaches could have a significant impact on the valuation of the investment.

On October 20, 2021, the Company completed the sale of a 9.4% stake in Wella to KKR in exchange for the redemption of 290,465 shares of KKR's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shares in Coty and a portion of unpaid dividends (the "First Exchange"). On November 30, 2021, Coty completed the sale of an additional 4.7% stake in Wella to KKR in exchange for the redemption of KKR's remaining convertible preferred shares in Coty (the "Second Exchange"). The First Exchange and Second Exchange were also included and weighted for the valuation purposes.

Changes in the fair value of equity investments under the fair value option are recorded in Other income, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 9—Equity Investments and Note 16—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock).

~~Goodwill~~

We evaluated the effects of the war in Ukraine and the geopolitical events in the region on our forecasted consolidated operating performance and concluded that as of March 31, 2022, we do not have a triggering event that would result in an update of our evaluation of goodwill for impairment that we performed in July 2021. During the fourth quarter, we will assess the impact of the Russian market exit announced in April 2022, and continue to monitor these ongoing geopolitical events, evaluate available options to seek to mitigate further risk of loss, if any, on our annual goodwill impairment test, which will be performed in May 2022.

~~Other Intangible Assets~~

We evaluated the effects of the war in Ukraine and the geopolitical events in the region on our forecasted consolidated operating performance and concluded that as of March 31, 2022, we do not have a triggering event that would result in an update of our evaluation of any of our indefinite-lived trademarks, for impairment that we performed in May 2021. However, the fair value of the Max Factor trademark could fall below its carrying value when the Company exits from Russia. During the fourth quarter, we will assess the impact of the Russian market exit announced in April 2022, and continue to monitor these ongoing geopolitical events, evaluate available options to seek to mitigate further risk of loss, if any, on our annual indefinite-lived trademarks impairment test, which will be performed in May 2022.

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our Fiscal ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the ~~third~~first fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our

~~Table of Contents~~

internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

For information on our legal matters, see Note ~~20—~~18—Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We have disclosed information about the risk factors that could adversely affect our business in Part I, Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal ~~2021. The information presented below supplements and updates and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in such periodic report.~~

~~Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine.~~

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has negatively affected the global economy, including rising energy prices, shortages of and increased costs for raw materials, transportation and other goods and services. Further expansion or escalation of the war or related geopolitical tensions, including increased restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, increased inflationary pressures, supply disruptions, transportation disruptions, changes in consumer demand, changes to foreign currency exchange rates and constraints, cyberattacks, terrorist activities, and volatility or disruption in financial markets, any of which may adversely affect the global economy and our business. In addition, the effects of the ongoing war could exacerbate many of our other risk factors that are included in “Part I-Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 26, 2021. In particular, the related uncertainty and volatility can further increase the difficulty of operating our business, including accurately planning and forecasting, executing our strategy, managing costs and inflationary pressures and meeting our deleveraging objectives, and may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, during April 2022, we announced the decision to wind down the operations of our Russian subsidiary as a result of the war and related sanctions. This wind down process is at an early stage, and the execution of the wind down may result in changes to our estimated losses or expected cash flows due to uncertainties surrounding the actions of the local government, customers, vendors and other counterparties.
