Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

As disclosed in our financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2014 filed on Form 10-Q on November 6, 2014, Coty Inc. (the "Company") made certain changes to its segment reporting due to the impact of the Organizational Redesign restructuring program ("Organizational Redesign") announced by the Company and the information reported to its chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, the Company reclassified revenues and costs associated with the Playboy brand from the Fragrances to the Skin & Body Care operating segment and retrospectively adjusted its comparable information for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as required by GAAP. This Form 8-K provides financial information reflecting the reclassification resulting from the Organizational Redesign for fiscal 2013, 2014 and related quarters to enhance comparability for all periods presented herein.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of net revenues generated outside of the U.S. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect results of operations. Therefore, to supplement financial results presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), certain financial information is presented excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations to provide a framework for assessing how the underlying businesses performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations (“constant currency”). Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period, with the current period’s results calculated at the prior-year period’s rates. The Company calculates 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 constant 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 presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

The financial information presents net revenues and net revenues growth on a constant currency and like-for-like basis. The Company believes that like-for-like growth better enables management and investors to analyze and compare the Company’s organic growth from period to period. In the periods covered by the financial information, like-for-like growth excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange translations, the discontinuation of the TJoy brand, the reorganization of our mass business in China, the divestiture of one of the Company’s licenses and the expiration of a certain North American service agreement that was not renewed and does not exclude revenues from the acquisition or conversion of third-party distributors.

 

The financial information also presents operating income and operating income margin on a non-GAAP basis and specifies that these measures are non-GAAP by using the term “adjusted”. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures better enable management and investors to analyze and compare the underlying business results from period to period. In calculating adjusted operating income

 

and adjusted operating income margin, the Company excludes the impact of nonrecurring items and impairment charges, to the extent applicable.

 

The Company has provided a quantitative reconciliation in the financial information of the difference between the non-GAAP financial measures and the financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
