Joining me for our presentation are Sue Nabi, Coty's CEO; and Laurent Mercier, Coty's CFO. Before I hand the call over to Sue, I would like to remind you that, many of the comments today may contain forward-looking statements. Please refer to Coty's earnings release and the reports filed with the SEC, where the company lists factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward looking statements. In addition, except where noted, the discussion of Coty's financial results and Coty's expectations reflect certain adjustments, as specified in the non-GAAP financial measures section of the company's release. Thank you.

Sue Nabi

Welcome, everyone. As we are now midway through our fiscal year, it is clear that fiscal '25 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Coty. On the one hand, the global beauty market continues to grow at a healthy pace, even if growth has moderated off of the elevated levels of the last few years, which benefited from more material pricing increases. And in this backdrop, fragrances of all price points continue to outperform most other beauty categories, which strongly benefits Coty's business as fragrances account for over 60% of our revenues and an even bigger portion of our profits.

On the other hand, pressure in pockets of our business which we discussed at length on the last earnings call, namely in China, Travel Retail Asia, Australia and in Consumer Beauty U.S., cumulatively impacted us even more significantly in Q2. And in our core markets, despite a seemingly strong holiday period where beauty performed strongly and consumers engaged with the category, this did not translate into improved replenishment orders for Coty, as retailers managed their inventory very tightly. As a result of these factors, our Q2 like-for-like sales trends were below our expectations.๋ฐ˜๋ฉด์—, ์ง€๋‚œ ์‹ค์  ๋ฐœํ‘œ ๋•Œ ์ž์„ธํžˆ ๋…ผ์˜ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์ผ๋ถ€ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์••๋ฐ•์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ ์ค‘๊ตญ, ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค, ํ˜ธ์ฃผ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์˜ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ด ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌํ•œ๋ฐ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ๋“ค์ด 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋” ํฐ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์ณค์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ๋Š” ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์ œํ’ˆ์ด ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์†Œ๋น„์ž๋“ค์ด ์ด ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์— ๊ด€์‹ฌ์„ ๋ณด์ธ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ๋ณด์ด๋Š” ๊ฐ•ํ•œ ํœด์ผ ์‹œ์ฆŒ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์ฝ”ํ‹ฐ์˜ ์žฌ๊ณ  ์ฃผ๋ฌธ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ด์–ด์ง€์ง€ ์•Š์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์ด ์žฌ๊ณ ๋ฅผ ๋งค์šฐ ์—„๊ฒฉํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๊ด€๋ฆฌํ–ˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์š”์ธ๋“ค๋กœ ์ธํ•ด, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์ผ ๋งค์ถœ ์ถ”์„ธ๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€์— ๋ฏธ์น˜์ง€ ๋ชปํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
While we are prudently assuming these patterns will continue into the second half as well, the strong sell-out growth of our fragrance brands gives us confidence that these headwinds are temporary, and we should return to improved sales growth as we enter FY '26. Against this uncertain complex backdrop, our teams acted with agility, activating strong savings initiatives, maintaining promotional discipline, and protecting our cash flow. The results of these efforts can be seen in our Q2 financial performance.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํŒจํ„ด์ด ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์—๋„ ๊ณ„์†๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ€์ •ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํŒ๋งค ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์—ญํ’์ด ์ผ์‹œ์ ์ผ ๋ฟ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ํ™•์‹ ์„ ์ฃผ๋ฉฐ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ๋“ค์–ด์„œ๋ฉด์„œ ๊ฐœ์„ ๋œ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์œผ๋กœ ๋Œ์•„๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ถˆํ™•์‹คํ•˜๊ณ  ๋ณต์žกํ•œ ์ƒํ™ฉ ์†์—์„œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒ€์€ ๋ฏผ์ฒฉํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์›€์ง์—ฌ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ์กฐ์น˜๋ฅผ ํ™œ์„ฑํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ , ํ”„๋กœ๋ชจ์…˜ ์งˆ์„œ๋ฅผ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์„ ๋ณดํ˜ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์˜ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์žฌ๋ฌด ์„ฑ๊ณผ์—์„œ ๋ณผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In the quarter, our adjusted gross margin expanded by 170 basis points year-on-year, we maintained strong marketing support, EBITDA expanded by 7%, and our EPS excluding the equity swap impact grew 16%. And we reached a key milestone exiting calendar '24 as for the first time in over eight years, our leverage was below 3x. While the complex backdrop may weigh on trends in the near-term, we are confident in our ability to continue to deliver strong margin expansion.์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์กฐ์ •๋œ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 170 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜์—ˆ๊ณ , ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์ง€์›์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ EBITDA๋Š” 7% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ฃผ์‹ ์Šค์™‘์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์ œ์™ธํ•œ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS)์€ 16% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  2024๋…„ ๋ง์„ ๊ธฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ง€๋‚œ 8๋…„ ์ด์ƒ ๋งŒ์— ์ฒ˜์Œ์œผ๋กœ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€๊ฐ€ 3๋ฐฐ ์ดํ•˜๋กœ ๋–จ์–ด์ง€๋Š” ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ด์ •ํ‘œ์— ๋„๋‹ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ณต์žกํ•œ ๋ฐฐ๊ฒฝ์ด ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ์ถ”์„ธ์— ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ์ด๋ฃฐ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์— ์ž์‹ ๊ฐ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And with exciting brand initiatives and distribution opportunities on track for fiscal '26 and beyond, we remain confident in Coty's ability to accelerate sales growth and outperform the beauty industry over the coming years, while steadily expanding margins and cash flow, and significantly growing EPS, which will fuel our total shareholder return. Let me summarize the four key messages we want to leave you with today. First, beauty market growth remains broadly healthy, with outperformance in Prestige, particularly the fragrance category.๋‹ค๊ฐ€์˜ค๋Š” 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์™€ ๊ทธ ์ดํ›„๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•ด ๊ณ„ํš๋œ ํฅ๋ฏธ๋กœ์šด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์™€ ์œ ํ†ต ๊ธฐํšŒ๊ฐ€ ์ˆœ์กฐ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด, ์ฝ”ํ‹ฐ๊ฐ€ ํ–ฅํ›„ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‚ฐ์—…์„ ๋›ฐ์–ด๋„˜๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ , ๋งˆ์ง„๊ณผ ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์„ ๊พธ์ค€ํžˆ ํ™•์žฅํ•˜๋ฉฐ, EPS๋ฅผ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์‹œ์ผœ ์ฃผ์ฃผ ์ด์ˆ˜์ต์„ ์ฆ๋Œ€์‹œํ‚ฌ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ž์‹ ๊ฐ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ค๋Š˜ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ถ„์—๊ฒŒ ์ „ํ•˜๊ณ ์ž ํ•˜๋Š” ๋„ค ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ฃผ์š” ๋ฉ”์‹œ์ง€๋ฅผ ์š”์•ฝํ•ด ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ, ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์œ ์ง€๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํŠนํžˆ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ๊ณผ ๊ทธ ์ค‘์—์„œ๋„ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ๋›ฐ์–ด๋‚œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Second, fiscal '25 is shaping up to be a transition year for Coty as despite healthy demand for our brands, we are impacted by pressure in select markets in combination with retailers in many parts of the world tightly managing their orders. Third, despite these top-line challenges coupled with more elevated FX headwinds on sales, we are delivering strong profit growth, EPS growth and margin expansion. And finally, we remained laser-focused on our cash generation, reaching leverage of below 3x exiting calendar '24, our lowest leverage in over eight years and on track for further reduction in calendar '25. Let me provide some context on the trends we are seeing in our markets.๋‘˜์งธ, 2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„๋Š” ์ฝ”ํ‹ฐ์—๊ฒŒ ์ „ํ™˜์˜ ํ•ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์ด ์ฃผ๋ฌธ์„ ์—„๊ฒฉํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๊ด€๋ฆฌํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฐ€์šด๋ฐ ์ผ๋ถ€ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ์˜ ์••๋ฐ•์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์…‹์งธ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ์ƒ์˜ ๋„์ „๊ณผ ๋”๋ถˆ์–ด ํŒ๋งค์— ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š” ํ™˜์œจ ๋ณ€๋™์„ฑ์ด ๋”์šฑ ์ปค์กŒ์Œ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ด์ต ์„ฑ์žฅ, ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS) ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋ฐ ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ์ด๋ฃจ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ˜„๊ธˆ ์ฐฝ์ถœ์— ์ง‘์ค‘์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2024๋…„ ๋ง์—๋Š” 3๋ฐฐ ๋ฏธ๋งŒ์˜ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜์—ฌ ์ง€๋‚œ 8๋…„ ์ด์ƒ ๋™์•ˆ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋‚ฎ์€ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2025๋…„์—๋Š” ๋”์šฑ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ถ”์„ธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ข€ ๋” ์„ค๋ช…๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In Prestige fragrances, consumer demand remained strong through the holidays. We had some incremental slowing in the category, but growth remained robust at a high-single-digit level. And our estimated sell-out for prestige fragrances remained strong and in line with the market, growing at a high-single-digit percentage in the first half. On the Consumer Beauty side, we have seen continued slowing in the global mass beauty market. Following the high-single-digit market growth in fiscal '24, which included a sizeable contribution from pricing, the market slowed to mid-single-digit growth in Q1 and further slowed to low-single-digit growth in Q2.ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ํœด์ผ ์‹œ์ฆŒ ๋™์•ˆ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ์•ฝ๊ฐ„์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋‘”ํ™”๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์—ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๋†’์€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์ˆ˜์ค€์—์„œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์˜ ์˜ˆ์ƒ ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰์€ ์‹œ์žฅ๊ณผ ์ผ์น˜ํ•˜์—ฌ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๋†’์€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ๋น„์œจ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•œํŽธ, ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋Œ€์ค‘ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋‘”ํ™”๋ฅผ ๋ชฉ๊ฒฉํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 24ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ๊ฒฐ์ •์˜ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ธฐ์—ฌ๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ ๋†’์€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•œ ํ›„, ์‹œ์žฅ์€ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์œผ๋กœ ๋‘”ํ™”๋˜์—ˆ๊ณ , 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋‚ฎ์€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์œผ๋กœ ๋”์šฑ ๋‘”ํ™”๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Sell out for our Consumer Beauty business was somewhat below the market and down low-single-digits in Q2, weighed down by our outsized presence in mass color cosmetics, which was the weakest performing category. Last quarter, we discussed at length the pockets of our business, which together account for roughly 20% of our sales, but have had a disproportionate impact on our short-term growth, namely China, Travel Retail Asia, Australia and U.S. Consumer Beauty. At the time we provided guidance, our assumption was that, trends in these areas would remain broadly consistent into Q2.์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํŒ๋งค ์‹ค์ ์€ ๋Œ€์ค‘ ์ƒ‰์กฐ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ์˜ ๊ณผ๋„ํ•œ ์ ์œ ์œจ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์‹œ์žฅ ํ‰๊ท ์„ ๋ฐ‘๋Œ๊ณ  ์†Œํญ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์€ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์ €์กฐํ•œ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค์˜ ํŠน์ • ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ž์„ธํžˆ ๋…ผ์˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ถ€๋ถ„๋“ค์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ์•ฝ 20%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๋ถˆ๊ท ํ˜•์ ์ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๋Š”๋ฐ, ๊ทธ ์ฃผ์š” ์ง€์—ญ์€ ์ค‘๊ตญ, ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค, ํ˜ธ์ฃผ ๋ฐ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‹œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ง€์นจ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ–ˆ์„ ๋•Œ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ง€์—ญ์˜ ์ถ”์„ธ๊ฐ€ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋„ ๋Œ€์ฒด๋กœ ์ผ๊ด€๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๊ฐ€์ •ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Instead, trends worsened in Q2, with the combination of China, Travel Retail Asia and Australia negatively impacting our Prestige business by roughly 3% on a like-for-like basis. And adding Consumer Beauty U.S., the negative impact on total Coty like-for-like sales in Q2 was also approximately 3%. As a reminder, China and Asia Travel Retail continue to be pressured as market demand remains sluggish, retailers are adjusting orders further, and new regulations were enacted in the Asia Travel Retail corridor. In Australia, which also accounts for a low-single-digit percentage of our sales, our Prestige business shipments were impacted by substantial working capital reduction at a key retailer.๋Œ€์‹ , 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ถ”์„ธ๊ฐ€ ์•…ํ™”๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ค‘๊ตญ, ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค ๋ฐ ํ˜ธ์ฃผ์˜ ์กฐํ•ฉ์ด ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ์‚ฌ์—…์— ๋™์ผ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋Œ€๋žต 3%์˜ ๋ถ€์ •์  ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์ณค์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์˜ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ๋ฅผ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋ฉด, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ฝ”ํ‹ฐ์˜ ์ „์ฒด ๋™์ผ ๊ธฐ์ค€ ๋งค์ถœ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋ถ€์ •์  ์˜ํ–ฅ๋„ ์•ฝ 3%์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ๊ธฐํ•˜์ž๋ฉด, ์ค‘๊ตญ๊ณผ ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค ์‹œ์žฅ์€ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ๊ณ„์† ๋ถ€์ง„ํ•˜๊ณ , ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์ด ์ฃผ๋ฌธ์„ ๋” ์ค„์ด๋ฉฐ, ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค ํšŒ๋ž‘์—์„œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๊ทœ์ •์ด ๋„์ž…๋˜๋ฉด์„œ ๊ณ„์† ์••๋ฐ•์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜ธ์ฃผ์—์„œ๋Š”, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ๋‚ฎ์€ ๋‹จ์ผ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ๋น„์œจ์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ฃผ์š” ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด์˜ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์šด์˜ ์ž๋ณธ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์ถœํ•˜๋Ÿ‰์ด ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In our U.S. Consumer Beauty business, retailers have been actively managing their orders and inventory, exacerbated by the significant channel shifts in the market. At the time of our Q1 call, we anticipated that the strong start to holiday sales we were seeing at retail would drive solid re-orders from our major Prestige retailers in the U.S. and Europe, which would somewhat offset the pressure in these pockets of the business. While our brands, particularly in Prestige fragrance, saw strong sell-out growth in Q2, we did not see replenishment orders at the pace we were expecting.

In Prestige, we reported 4% like-for-like growth in the first half and 1% like-for-like growth in Q2, with higher growth in Q1, reflecting earlier shipments of fragrance giftsets. This 4% like-for-like growth in the first half is particularly noteworthy, as we are lapping extremely high growth last year when our prestige business grew 18% like-for-like. In Prestige, our total global sell-out grew by a mid-single-digit percentage in the first half, with our sell-out for fragrances growing even stronger at a high-single-digit level, confirming that, our brands continue to resonate strongly with consumers.ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์œ ์‚ฌ ๋งค์ถœ์ด 4%, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” 1% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋ณด๊ณ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์„ ๋ฌผ ์„ธํŠธ์˜ ์กฐ๊ธฐ ์ถœํ•˜๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋” ๋†’์€ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์˜ 4% ์œ ์‚ฌ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ฃผ๋ชฉํ•  ๋งŒํ•œ๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ž‘๋…„์— ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ์‚ฌ์—…๋ถ€๊ฐ€ ์œ ์‚ฌ ๋งค์ถœ๋กœ 18%์˜ ๋งค์šฐ ๋†’์€ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ๋˜ ๊ฒƒ์„ ๊ฐ์•ˆํ•  ๋•Œ ๋”์šฑ ๊ทธ๋ ‡์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜์˜ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ๋”์šฑ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๊ณ  ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๊ฐ€ ์†Œ๋น„์ž๋“ค๊ณผ ๊ณ„์† ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ˜ธ์‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Œ์„ ํ™•์ธ์‹œ์ผœ ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In Consumer Beauty, our sales declined 2% in the first half and declined 4% like-for-like in Q2. The more significant pullback in Q2 was driven by further mass beauty market deceleration and a couple of points gap between sell in and sell out, driven by pressures at mass retailers, due to ongoing channel shifts and tight inventory management, and higher trade investments. Importantly, our mass cosmetics brands continued to outperform most legacy brands. By region, in Q2 and the first half, EMEA continued to grow like-for-like, Americas grew in the first half, but declined in Q2, and APAC was pressured in both periods by declines in China, Asia Travel Retail and Australia.์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— 2% ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์œ ์‚ฌ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ 4% ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋” ํฐ ํ•˜๋ฝ์„ธ๋Š” ๋Œ€์ค‘ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์ถ”๊ฐ€์ ์ธ ๋‘”ํ™”์™€ ๋Œ€๋Ÿ‰ ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์˜ ์••๋ฐ•์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•œ ํŒ๋งค์ž…๊ณผ ํŒ๋งค์ถœ ์‚ฌ์ด์˜ ๊ฒฉ์ฐจ, ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ฑ„๋„ ๋ณ€ํ™”์™€ ์—„๊ฒฉํ•œ ์žฌ๊ณ  ๊ด€๋ฆฌ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋†’์€ ๋ฌด์—ญ ํˆฌ์ž์— ์˜ํ•ด ์ฃผ๋„๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋Œ€์ค‘ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์ด ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ๊ธฐ์กด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋Šฅ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€์—ญ๋ณ„๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ EMEA๋Š” ์œ ์‚ฌ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ง€์†ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นด๋Š” ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

In both periods, the Americas region included a 3% contribution from Argentina, which experienced hyperinflation. Looking at the picture by volume, price and mix. While volumes declined moderately on a total company basis driven by color cosmetics, our fragrance volumes grew in both Prestige and Consumer Beauty in the first half. This is a critical element, as fragrances account for less than a quarter of our volumes, but over 60% of our revenues, given the higher relative price points. Estimated pricing contributed a low to mid-single-digit benefit primarily due to carryover from last year. And estimated mix & other was neutral for the quarter.๋‘ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นด ์ง€์—ญ์—๋Š” ํ•˜์ดํผ์ธํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์…˜์„ ๊ฒช์€ ์•„๋ฅดํ—จํ‹ฐ๋‚˜๊ฐ€ 3% ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰, ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์กฐํ•ฉ์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ „์ฒด ํšŒ์‚ฌ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ‰์กฐ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์œผ๋กœ ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰์ด ์•ฝ๊ฐ„ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ฒซ ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ฐ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰์€ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์š”์†Œ์ธ๋ฐ, ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ ์ „์ฒด ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰์˜ 4๋ถ„์˜ 1 ๋ฏธ๋งŒ์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ƒ๋Œ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋†’์€ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ์ˆ˜์ต์˜ 60% ์ด์ƒ์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ถ”์ • ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์€ ์ฃผ๋กœ ์ž‘๋…„์˜ ์ด์›” ํšจ๊ณผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋‚ฎ์€ ์ˆ˜์น˜์—์„œ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ์ˆ˜์น˜์˜ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ถ”์ •๋œ ์กฐํ•ฉ ๋ฐ ๊ธฐํƒ€๋Š” ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ค‘๋ฆฝ์ ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
While our sales trends this quarter were below expectations, it's important to put this in the context of our delivery over the last four years. In nine out of the last 14 quarters, we have grown ahead of leading global beauty peers. Our like-for-like sales this quarter are also shaping up to be in the middle of our peer group. With that, let me turn it over to Laurent

Thank you, Sue. Fiscal 2025 is indeed a transition year for beauty and for Coty. Category growth is moderating in tandem with lower pricing benefits, and pressure in certain pockets of the beauty market is exacerbated by retailers tightly managing orders and inventory.

While this is impacting our sales trends in the near-term, our financial equation is now stronger than it has been in the last four years, and we will see outsized benefit from our healthier debt levels and cash generation. With our EBITDA margin for the year on track to reach around 19%, even as we maintain strong investment behind our brands, and our lower debt is now translating to steady declines in interest expense, we expect our fiscal year '25 EPS to grow in the low double-digits after adjusting for the discrete tax benefit last year.์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋งค์ถœ ์ถ”์„ธ์— ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์žฌ๋ฌด ์ƒํ™ฉ์€ ์ง€๋‚œ 4๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ๋ณด๋‹ค ํ›จ์”ฌ ๊ฐ•ํ™”๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ฑด์ „ํ•œ ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ์ˆ˜์ค€๊ณผ ํ˜„๊ธˆ ์ฐฝ์ถœ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ํŠน๋ณ„ํ•œ ์ด์ต์„ ๋ณผ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ฌํ•ด EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์ด ์•ฝ 19%์— ์ด๋ฅผ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋Š” ๊ฐ€์šด๋ฐ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง€์†ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ฐ์†Œ๋œ ๋ถ€์ฑ„๋Š” ์ด์ œ ์ด์ž ๋น„์šฉ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋กœ ์ด์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ง€๋‚œํ•ด ์ผํšŒ์„ฑ ์„ธ๊ธˆ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ์กฐ์ •ํ•œ ํ›„์—๋„ '25 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์˜ EPS๊ฐ€ ์ €์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฌ ์ˆ˜์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This coupled with our leverage now below 3x, confirms that, Coty is on significantly healthier footing, which should fuel double-digits EPS growth and strong TSR in the coming years, particularly once sales growth begins to accelerate. Our first half net revenues grew 2% like-for-like. While we expected some phasing impacts due to earlier shipments of fragrance giftsets from Q2 to Q1, our Q2 like-for-like sales of minus 1% were lower-than-anticipated as the combined impact from China, Asia Travel Retail, Australia and Consumer Beauty U.S. worsened

sequentially to a 3% impact on our sales.

At the same time, the 2% like-for-like growth in first half '25 was achieved despite quite elevated comparisons in the prior year of 14% like-for-like growth. While we saw sales headwinds this quarter, we remained focused on fueling healthy gross margin expansion. In Q2, we delivered very strong adjusted gross margin expansion of 170 basis points, following the 200 basis points of expansion generated in Q1. The significant margin expansion was fueled by strong supply chain savings, including procurement savings and productivity gains, coupled with improvement in excess and obsolescence, and a net benefit from pricing.๋™์‹œ์—, 2025๋…„ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 14%์˜ ์œ ์‚ฌ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•œ ๋†’์€ ๋น„๊ต ๊ธฐ์ค€์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  2%์˜ ๋™์ผ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋งค์ถœ ์ƒ์˜ ์–ด๋ ค์›€์„ ๊ฒช์—ˆ์Œ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฑด์ „ํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต ํ™•๋Œ€์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ด์–ด 200 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ์˜ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•œ ๋ฐ ์ด์–ด, ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์กฐ์ • ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต ํ™•์žฅ์„ 170 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ๋กœ ์‹คํ˜„ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ฃผ์š” ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•์žฅ์€ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๊ณต๊ธ‰๋ง ์ ˆ๊ฐ, ๊ตฌ๋งค ์ ˆ๊ฐ ๋ฐ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ ํ–ฅ์ƒ, ์ž‰์—ฌ ๋ฐ ์“ธ๋ชจ์—†์–ด์ง์˜ ๊ฐœ์„ , ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์—์„œ์˜ ์ˆœ ์ด์ต ํšจ๊ณผ์— ์˜ํ•ด ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
It is also worth noting that, the strong gross margin expansion also reflected our efforts to maintain discipline this holiday season, in the face of quite significant discounting from many of our peers. In total, our first half gross margins reached 66.1%. While we expect absolute gross margins in the second half to be seasonally lower than the first half, based on usual business seasonality, our strong delivery in the first half should support another year of steady gross margin expansion in fiscal year '25. As part of our focus on maintaining a healthy business equation and supporting our strategy over the short and long-term, we continue to invest behind our brands and initiatives.๋˜ํ•œ, ๋งŽ์€ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ๋“ค์ด ํฐ ํญ์˜ ํ• ์ธ์„ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๋Š” ์ด๋ฒˆ ํœด๊ฐ€ ์‹œ์ฆŒ์—๋„ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์œ ์ง€ํ•œ ํ›ˆ๋ จ์ด ๊ฐ•ํ•œ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ์ง€์ ํ•  ๊ฐ€์น˜๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋งˆ์ง„์€ ์ „๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— 66.1%์— ๋‹ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค์˜ ์ผ๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ๊ณ„์ ˆ์„ฑ์„ ๋ฐ”ํƒ•์œผ๋กœ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์˜ ์ ˆ๋Œ€ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„์€ ์ „๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ๋ณด๋‹ค ๊ณ„์ ˆ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋‚ฎ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ „๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ธ ๊ฒƒ์ด '25 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ธ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ์ง€์›ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ๋ฐ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์ „๋žต์„ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•œ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ๋ฐฉ์ •์‹์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์— ์ค‘์ ์„ ๋‘๋ฉด์„œ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์™€ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์— ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We maintained a high 20s A&CP percentage in Q2, up year-on-year. The combination of strong gross margin expansion, sustained marketing support, short-term cost initiatives and very tight fixed cost control, fueled 7% growth in our Q2 EBITDA. As a result, we delivered 220 basis points of EBITDA margin expansion in Q2, with margin expansion in both divisions. For the first half, our EBITDA expanded 3%, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 22.5%, which was up a strong 90 basis points year-over-year.2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ 20%๋Œ€ ํ›„๋ฐ˜์˜ A&CP ๋น„์œจ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต ํ™•๋Œ€, ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ์ง€์›, ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ๊ณ„ํš ๋ฐ ๋งค์šฐ ์—„๊ฒฉํ•œ ๊ณ ์ • ๋น„์šฉ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์˜ ์กฐํ•ฉ์ด 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ EBITDA์˜ 7% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ ์œผ๋กœ, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋‘ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๋งˆ์ง„์ด ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜๋ฉฐ EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์ด 220 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ ํ™•๋Œ€๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ์—๋Š” EBITDA๊ฐ€ 3% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜์—ฌ EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์ด 22.5%์— ๋‹ฌํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 90 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ƒ์Šนํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
While some of the strong EBITDA growth, despite moderately lower reported sales was a result of shorter-term cost controls, a sizeable portion also came from cost reductions, as part of our All In To Win program. In Q2, we delivered savings of approximately $35 million, up from approximately $20 million in Q1, with most of the savings in gross margin related areas. We continue to expect these savings to further step-up in the second half. In total, we continue to target savings of over $120 million in fiscal year '25.๋น„๋ก ๋ณด๊ณ ๋œ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋‚ฎ์•˜์Œ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ฐ•ํ•œ EBITDA ์„ฑ์žฅ์˜ ์ผ๋ถ€๋Š” ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ๋น„์šฉ ํ†ต์ œ์˜ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์˜€์ง€๋งŒ, ์ƒ๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ถ„์€ 'All In To Win' ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์˜ ์ผํ™˜์œผ๋กœ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง„ ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์—์„œ ๋น„๋กฏ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์•ฝ 3,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜์—ฌ, 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์˜ ์•ฝ 2,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์€ ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต ๊ด€๋ จ ์˜์—ญ์—์„œ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์ด ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๋”์šฑ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ดํ•ฉ์œผ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” '25 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— 1์–ต 2์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋กœ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋‚˜์•„๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And the plans we are putting in place should support strong savings delivery in fiscal yeat '26 and beyond, as we are evaluating the organization and new optimization opportunities. Last quarter we detailed some of the workstreams supporting the $120 million savings target. These include: First, establishing centers of excellence for key processes, including an AI-powered demand planning solution and the consolidation of demand planning into one hub. Second, adapting our commercial organization to the increasingly omnichannel world, with the assessments underway. Third, accelerating our speed to market.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ˆ˜๋ฆฝํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ณ„ํš์€ ์กฐ์ง์„ ์žฌํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ตœ์ ํ™” ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๋ชจ์ƒ‰ํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ๋ฐ ๊ทธ ์ดํ›„์—๋„ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ง€์›ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” 1์–ต 2์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ž‘์—… ํ๋ฆ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ž์„ธํžˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ž‘์—… ํ๋ฆ„์—๋Š” ์ฒซ์งธ, ์ฃผ์š” ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ์ˆ˜ ์„ผํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ์„ค๋ฆฝํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด์—๋Š” AI ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ ์ˆ˜์š” ๊ณ„ํš ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์š” ๊ณ„ํš์„ ํ•˜๋‚˜์˜ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ๋กœ ํ†ตํ•ฉํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘˜์งธ, ์ ์ฐจ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ „ ์ฑ„๋„๋กœ ํ™•์žฅ๋˜๋Š” ์ƒ์—… ์กฐ์ง์„ ์ ์‘์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ, ํ˜„์žฌ ํ‰๊ฐ€๊ฐ€ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์…‹์งธ, ์‹œ์žฅ ์ถœ์‹œ ์†๋„๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Fourth, maximizing the benefits of emerging tech and AI, including our successful migration to S4Hana over the summer. And finally, regional footprint redesign as we focus on re-allocating resources from the least to the most attractive opportunities. All of these are supplemented by our ongoing productivity efforts, which were key contributors this quarter, including in manufacturing and warehousing, and high levels of material savings through material value analysis and commercial negotiation. Let me also take a minute to address the tariff topic, which we know is top of mind.๋„ท์งธ, ์ง€๋‚œ ์—ฌ๋ฆ„์— ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ S4Hana๋กœ์˜ ์ด์ „์„ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ ์‹ ํฅ ๊ธฐ์ˆ  ๋ฐ ์ธ๊ณต์ง€๋Šฅ์˜ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ๊ทน๋Œ€ํ™”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋งค๋ ฅ์ ์ธ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋กœ ์ž์›์„ ์žฌ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ค‘์ ์„ ๋‘๋ฉด์„œ ์ง€์—ญ์  ๋ฐœ์ž๊ตญ์„ ์žฌ์„ค๊ณ„ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ์€ ์ œ์กฐ ๋ฐ ์ฐฝ๊ณ  ์šด์˜์—์„œ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์žฌ๋ฃŒ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ๋ถ„์„๊ณผ ์ƒ์—…์  ํ˜‘์ƒ์„ ํ†ตํ•œ ๋†’์€ ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ์žฌ๋ฃŒ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ฃผ์š” ๊ธฐ์—ฌ๋ฅผ ํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์— ์˜ํ•ด ๋ณด์™„๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ๊ด€์„ธ ๋ฌธ์ œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜๊ณ ์ž ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ชจ๋‘๊ฐ€ ์ฃผ๋ชฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์‚ฌํ•ญ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
As is evident in the last few weeks, the global geopolitical and tariff situation remains quite fluid, further adding to the broader uncertainty. Having said that, our teams have been planning for several different scenarios with action plans to minimize the potential impact on Coty. For context, our sourcing from China, Canada and Mexico into the U.S. is fairly minimal. As we contemplate a potential 10% tariff on finished goods shipped from Europe into the U.S., or potential retaliatory tariffs in North America, together this could represent a few points of impact to our annualized EBITDA.์ง€๋‚œ ๋ช‡ ์ฃผ๊ฐ„ ๋ชฉ๊ฒฉ๋œ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ง€์ •ํ•™์  ์ƒํ™ฉ๊ณผ ๊ด€์„ธ ๋ฌธ์ œ๋Š” ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ์œ ๋™์ ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋” ๋„“์€ ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค์„ฑ์„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฐ ์ƒํ™ฉ์—์„œ, ์ €ํฌ ํŒ€์€ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์‹œ๋‚˜๋ฆฌ์˜ค๋ฅผ ๊ณ„ํšํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, Coty์— ๋ฏธ์น  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ž ์žฌ์  ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์ตœ์†Œํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ํ–‰๋™ ๊ณ„ํš์„ ์„ธ์šฐ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฐธ๊ณ ๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ค‘๊ตญ, ์บ๋‚˜๋‹ค, ๋ฉ•์‹œ์ฝ”์—์„œ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์œผ๋กœ์˜ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ์€ ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ์ œํ•œ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์—์„œ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์œผ๋กœ ์ˆ˜์ถœ๋˜๋Š” ์™„์„ฑํ’ˆ์— 10%์˜ ๊ด€์„ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ถ€๊ณผ๋  ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ์ด๋‚˜ ๋ถ๋ฏธ์—์„œ์˜ ์ž ์žฌ์  ๋ณด๋ณต ๊ด€์„ธ๋ฅผ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ์ด ์ €ํฌ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ EBITDA์— ๋ช‡ ํผ์„ผํŠธ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In the meantime, we are already making adjustments in our product flows and sourcing, including having some extra inventory on hand in the U.S. and shifting more of our mass fragrance production to our North Carolina plant. And of course, pricing remains an additional lever, particularly in the relatively price inelastic Prestige beauty market. The strong progress we have made in significantly reducing our debt by over $4.5 billion since fiscal year '20, including the $300 million debt repayment in Q2, is now also bearing fruit.ํ•œํŽธ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋ฏธ ์ œํ’ˆ ํ๋ฆ„๊ณผ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ์— ์กฐ์ •์„ ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ๋‚ด์— ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์žฌ๊ณ ๋ฅผ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ  ๋Œ€๋Ÿ‰ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ ๋…ธ์Šค์บ๋กค๋ผ์ด๋‚˜ ๊ณต์žฅ์œผ๋กœ ๋” ๋งŽ์ด ์ด์ „ํ•˜๋Š” ๋“ฑ์˜ ์กฐ์น˜๋ฅผ ์ทจํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌผ๋ก , ์ƒ๋Œ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ๋น„ํƒ„๋ ฅ์ ์ธ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์กฐ์ • ์ˆ˜๋‹จ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2020 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ดํ›„ ์ด 45์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ๋ถ€์ฑ„๋ฅผ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ค„์ธ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์ด, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— 3์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ์ƒํ™˜์„ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ, ์ด์ œ ๊ฒฐ์‹ค์„ ๋งบ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In the first half of fiscal '25, our interest expense declined by $14 million year-on-year to $116 million, reflecting the lower debt balance and a lower cost of debt. We expect our interest expense to decrease further in the second half to below $100 million. In total, we expect interest expense to decrease by over $40 million in fiscal year '25 to approximately $210 million, fueling about 8% of EPS accretion in this year alone. And based on the trajectory of our deleveraging and the current interest rate backdrop, we expect interest expense to decline further in fiscal year '26, driving further EPS accretion.2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ด์ž ๋น„์šฉ์€ ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ์ž”์•ก๊ณผ ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ๋น„์šฉ์ด ๊ฐ์†Œํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 1,400๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•œ 1์–ต 1,600๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ด์ž ๋น„์šฉ์ด 1์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ดํ•˜๋กœ ๋” ์ค„์–ด๋“ค ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ 2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ์ด์ž ๋น„์šฉ์€ ์•ฝ 4,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•˜์—ฌ ์•ฝ 2์–ต 1,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์˜ฌํ•ด์—๋งŒ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS) ์ฆ๊ฐ€์— ์•ฝ 8% ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ๊ฐ์ถ• ์ถ”์„ธ์™€ ํ˜„์žฌ์˜ ์ด์ž์œจ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ์ด์ž ๋น„์šฉ์ด ๋”์šฑ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•˜์—ฌ ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ๋”์šฑ ์ด‰์ง„ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
The combination of our operating income growth, lower interest expense, and a lower tax rate resulted in strong EPS growth. Our Q2 EPS, excluding the equity swap, grew 16% to $0.22 and our first half EPS grew 21% to $0.41. Our first half EPS growth benefitted from a discrete tax hurt in the prior year totaling $0.03, which did not repeat this year. While tight order and cash flow management by retailers weighed on our free cash flow in the first half, we did deliver very strong free cash flow in Q2 of $419 million, an increase of $56 million over the prior year.์ €ํฌ์˜ ์šด์˜ ์ˆ˜์ต ์ฆ๊ฐ€, ๋‚ฎ์•„์ง„ ์ด์ž ๋น„์šฉ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ฐ์†Œํ•œ ์„ธ์œจ์˜ ์กฐํ•ฉ์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ EPS ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ด๋ฃจ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฃผ์‹ ์Šค์™‘์„ ์ œ์™ธํ•œ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ EPS๋Š” 16% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ $0.22๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ EPS๋Š” 21% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ $0.41์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ EPS ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ „๋…„์— ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ๋˜ ์ผํšŒ์„ฑ ์„ธ๊ธˆ ์†์‹ค $0.03์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์•˜์œผ๋‚˜, ์˜ฌํ•ด๋Š” ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ผ์ด ๋ฐ˜๋ณต๋˜์ง€ ์•Š์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์˜ ์—„๊ฒฉํ•œ ์ฃผ๋ฌธ ๋ฐ ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ์ž์œ  ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์— ๋ถ€๋‹ด์„ ์ฃผ์—ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” $419๋ฐฑ๋งŒ์˜ ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ž์œ  ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ $56๋ฐฑ๋งŒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Our teams have remained nimble in this uncertain environment, which has allowed us to lower inventory levels and improve our working capital performance in Q2. This resulted in solid free cash flow generation in the first half of $411 million. And based on our expectations for free cash flow in the second half to be roughly neutral, we expect fiscal year '25 free cash flow of roughly $400 million. Our disciplined approach to profit expansion, cash generation and debt paydown have fueled the steady reduction in our leverage over the past four years. We ended calendar year '24 with leverage of 2.9x, consistent with recent guidance to end calendar year 24 with leverage below 3x.์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒ€์€ ์ด ๋ถˆํ™•์‹คํ•œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์—์„œ๋„ ์œ ์—ฐํ•จ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์žฌ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ๋‚ฎ์ถ”๊ณ  2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์˜ ์šด์ „ ์ž๋ณธ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ํ•ด์ฃผ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์—๋Š” 4์–ต 1,100๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ํƒ„ํƒ„ํ•œ ์ž์œ  ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์ด ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์˜ ์ž์œ  ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์ด ๋Œ€๋žต์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ท ํ˜•์„ ์ด๋ฃฐ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์˜ ์ž์œ  ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์ด ๋Œ€๋žต 4์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ต ํ™•์žฅ, ํ˜„๊ธˆ ์ฐฝ์ถœ ๋ฐ ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ์ƒํ™˜์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ฒด๊ณ„์ ์ธ ์ ‘๊ทผ์€ ์ง€๋‚œ 4๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€๋ฅผ ๊พธ์ค€ํžˆ ์ค„์—ฌ ์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 2024๋…„ ๋‹ฌ๋ ฅ ์—ฐ๋„๋ฅผ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ 2.9๋ฐฐ๋กœ ๋งˆ๊ฐํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ตœ๊ทผ์˜ ์ง€์นจ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ 2024๋…„ ๋‹ฌ๋ ฅ ์—ฐ๋„ ๋ง์— ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€๊ฐ€ 3๋ฐฐ ๋ฏธ๋งŒ์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์˜ˆ์ƒ๊ณผ ์ผ์น˜ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This reflects a reduction in our leverage ratio of 0.4 turns from the end of fiscal '24 and 0.2 turns year-on-year. Let me now share some context on our outlook. With normalizing but still growing beauty category growth, pockets of disruption, and uncertain retailer behavior, driving sell-in tracking below sell-out, we prudently see fiscal '25 as a transition year in terms of sales performance. Still, we remain on track to deliver solid profit, EPS and free cash flow expansion. As we enter calendar '25, we expect the global beauty market in terms of consumer demand to grow in the low to mid-single-digits, consistent with historical levels.์ด๋Š” 24ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ๋ง ๋Œ€๋น„ 0.4๋ฐฐ, ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 0.2๋ฐฐ์˜ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ๋น„์œจ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์ „๋ง์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋ฐฐ๊ฒฝ์„ ๊ณต์œ ํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ •์ƒํ™”๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ค‘์ธ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ, ์ผ๋ถ€ ํ˜ผ๋ž€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์˜ˆ์ธก ๋ถˆ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด์˜ ํ–‰๋™์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ํŒ๋งค ์ง„ํ–‰์ด ํŒ๋งค ์‹ค์ ์„ ๋ฐ‘๋Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์— ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 25ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„๋ฅผ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ๊ณผ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์ „ํ™˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ์‹ ์ค‘ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ฐ”๋ผ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿผ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ์ด์ต, ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS) ๋ฐ ์ž์œ  ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ๋ฆ„์˜ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด๋‚ผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ถค๋„์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 25๋…„๋„์— ์ ‘์–ด๋“ค๋ฉด์„œ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์†Œ๋น„์ž ์ˆ˜์š” ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ์—ญ์‚ฌ์  ์ˆ˜์ค€๊ณผ ์ผ์น˜ํ•˜์—ฌ ๋‚ฎ์€ ๋‹จ์œ„์—์„œ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ๋‹จ์œ„๊นŒ์ง€ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
At the same time, the pressure in the China ecosystem and the continued tight order and inventory management by retailers, which we expect to continue for several more quarters, will likely result in beauty sell-in tracking below sell-out in the near-term. Based on these factors, we anticipate our like-for-like sales trends in the second half to be broadly consistent with our Q2 like-for-like sales trend at -1% to -2%, with flattish Prestige and lower Consumer Beauty, largely consistent with what we saw in Q2.

dollar is expected to drive a more material FX headwind in H2 '25 of approximately 3% to 4%, resulting in second half reported sales declining in the mid-single-digits percentage. We expect gross margins to be slightly lower year-on-year off the quite elevated level last year, and reflecting approximately 100 bps of expansion versus two years ago. Supported by stronger fixed cost reduction in the second half, we expect the second half adjusted EBITDA margin to expand 70 to 90 basis points, implying low-single-digit

adjusted EBITDA growth, which includes a mid-single-digit percentage headwind from ForEx.

Due to the phasing of initiatives and spending this year, we expect the absolute sales and EBITDA dollars to be pretty equal between Q3 and Q4, which reflects somewhat different phasing from last year when Q3 was higher than Q4 on both metrics. We estimate the adjusted effective tax rate to be in the mid to high 20s. This is expected to translate to EPS in the second half of $0.09 to $0.011. Altogether, this translates to fiscal '25 like-for-like sales which are flattish year-on-year. Contemplating worsening ForEx headwinds and the 1% headwind in the first half from the divestiture of the Lacoste license, reported revenues are expected to decline in the low single-digits.์˜ฌํ•ด์˜ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์™€ ์ง€์ถœ์˜ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์  ์ง„ํ–‰์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด, ์ ˆ๋Œ€ ๋งค์ถœ๊ณผ EBITDA ๊ธˆ์•ก์€ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ๊ฑฐ์˜ ๋™์ผํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ž‘๋…„๊ณผ ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๋‹จ๊ณ„์  ์ง„ํ–‰์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ, ์ž‘๋…„์—๋Š” 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‘ ์ง€ํ‘œ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๋†’์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์กฐ์ •๋œ ํšจ๊ณผ์  ์„ธ์œจ์€ 20% ์ค‘๋ฐ˜์—์„œ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ ์ถ”์ •๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS)์ด $0.09์—์„œ $0.011๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ, ์ด๋Š” ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ '25์˜ ์œ ์‚ฌ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ํ‰ํƒ„ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋ง๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์™ธํ™˜ ์•…์žฌ๊ฐ€ ์•…ํ™”๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, Lacoste ๋ผ์ด์„ ์Šค ๋งค๊ฐ์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ 1%์˜ ์—ญํ’์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ, ๋ณด๊ณ ๋œ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ €์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜๋กœ ๊ฐ์†Œํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We continue to expect solid gross margin expansion in fiscal '25, fueled by the strong gross margin improvement delivered in 1H '25. This gross margin expansion coupled with our strong cost savings will support ongoing strong investment behind our brands, with A&CP expected to remain in the high 20s percentage. Through the combination of gross margin expansion, ongoing brand support, short-term cost containment efforts and structural cost savings programs, we are targeting adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 70-90 bps, both in H2 '25 and fiscal year '25, an acceleration from the 30 bps adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in fiscal year '24.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ  ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ๊ณ„์† ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” 2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง„ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต ๊ฐœ์„ ์— ํž˜์ž…์€ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต ํ™•๋Œ€๋Š” ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง€์›ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ๊ด‘๊ณ  ๋ฐ ํŒ์ด‰ ๋น„์šฉ(A&CP)์€ 20%๋Œ€ ํ›„๋ฐ˜์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต ํ™•๋Œ€, ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์ง€์›, ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ๋น„์šฉ ํ†ต์ œ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ ๋ฐ ๊ตฌ์กฐ์  ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์˜ ์กฐํ•ฉ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์™€ ์ „์ฒด ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์กฐ์ •๋œ EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์„ 70-90bp ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋กœ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” 2024 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์˜ 30bp ์กฐ์ •๋œ EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ณด๋‹ค ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๋œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This implies adjusted EBITDA growing in the low-single-digits to $1.115 billion to $1.125 billion, which includes a low-to-mid-single-digit headwind from ForEx. Our steady debt reduction is now translating to an anticipated sizeable reduction in the fiscal year '25 interest expense to the low $200s million. And the adjusted effective tax rate is expected to be in the mid to high 20s percentage. As a result, we now expect fiscal year '25 adjusted EPS to grow by a mid-to-high-single-digit percentage, ahead of EBITDA growth, to $0.50 to $0.52.์ด๋Š” ์กฐ์ •๋œ EBITDA๊ฐ€ ์™ธํ™˜์˜ ์ €-์ค‘๊ฐ„ ๋‹จ์ผ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์—ญํ’์„ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ 11์–ต 1,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 11์–ต 2,500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ €๋‹จ์ผ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž„์„ ์˜๋ฏธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๊พธ์ค€ํ•œ ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋Š” ์ด์ œ '25 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์˜ ์ด์ž ๋น„์šฉ์„ 2์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ดˆ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ค„์ผ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๊ฒŒ ๋งŒ๋“ค์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์กฐ์ •๋œ ํšจ๊ณผ์  ์„ธ์œจ์€ 20% ์ค‘๋ฐ˜์—์„œ ๊ณ ๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ ์œผ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด์ œ '25 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์˜ ์กฐ์ • EPS๊ฐ€ EBITDA ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์•ž์„œ 0.50๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 0.52๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ค‘-๊ณ ๋‹จ์ผ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ํผ์„ผํŠธ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Excluding the $0.02 discrete tax benefit to EPS last year, our underlying EPS growth in fiscal year '25 is expected to be 9% to 13%, as we start benefiting from the strong reductions in our

interest expense. We expect fiscal year '25 free cash flow to grow roughly 10% year-on-year to approximately $400 million, driven by the combination of higher profit and lower cash taxes, partially offset by certain cash benefits recognized in fiscal year '24 which will not re-occur. I want to note that, we have two equity swap arrangements outstanding which we intend to execute in calendar year '26.

As per the terms of the swap agreements, and as a result of the pullback in our stock price in recent quarters, in Q3 we expect to make a rue up cash payment to the banks in connection with these swaps. The amount of the cash payment will depend on the stock price, but assuming a stock price of $7, we would make a Q3 payment of $88 million. Importantly, any payments are simply a partial prepayment of the aggregate cost, which had been locked in for the future buyback, with no change to the predetermined cost of the future buyback or settlement of 48 million shares.์Šค์™‘ ๊ณ„์•ฝ ์กฐ๊ฑด์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ตœ๊ทผ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ฃผ๊ฐ€๊ฐ€ ํ•˜๋ฝํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ, 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์Šค์™‘๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จํ•˜์—ฌ ์€ํ–‰์— ํ˜„๊ธˆ ์ง€๊ธ‰์„ ํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„๊ธˆ ์ง€๊ธ‰์•ก์€ ์ฃผ๊ฐ€์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์ง€์ง€๋งŒ, ์ฃผ๊ฐ€๊ฐ€ 7๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ผ๊ณ  ๊ฐ€์ •ํ•  ๊ฒฝ์šฐ 3๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” 8800๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ์ง€๊ธ‰ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ ์€, ๋ชจ๋“  ์ง€๊ธ‰์€ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์˜ ๋งค์ž… ๋น„์šฉ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์  ์„ ๊ธ‰๊ธˆ์ผ ๋ฟ์ด๋ฉฐ, ๋ฏธ๋ž˜ ๋งค์ž…์˜ ์˜ˆ์ •๋œ ๋น„์šฉ์ด๋‚˜ 4800๋งŒ ์ฃผ์˜ ๊ฒฐ์ œ์—๋Š” ๋ณ€๋™์ด ์—†๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Given the more uncertain environment for the next couple of quarters, further pressured by ForEx headwinds, we are targeting a year-over-year reduction in leverage exiting calendar year '25 of 0.5x or more, resulting in leverage below 2.5x, with our goal to reach closer to 2x. This does not take into account proceeds from the targeted Wella divestiture, which would further accelerate both deleveraging and shareholder returns. As a reminder, the standstill period as part of our Wella shareholders agreement with KKR expired at the end of November.

These include blockbuster launches under several top prestige fragrance brands coupled with further geographic expansion. Let me now turn it back to Sue to discuss our continued strategic momentum and significant growth opportunities ahead. Sue Nabi

Thank you, Laurent. Amid an uncertain year, what is clear is that, our brands remain as powerful as ever, and our teams continue to develop winning innovations, which are activated with best-in-class campaigns and commercial strategies. I'd like to highlight four key takeaways. First, as an industry leader in fragrances, we continue to cement our leadership across both prestige and mass fragrances, as we double down on this area of strength.

Second, we continue to fuel our cosmetics brands through strong momentum in social media advocacy and are now beginning to be complemented by our agile innovation strategy. Third, we are continuing to capture growth opportunities across categories, channels and, of course, geographies. And finally, we are attaining new milestones in ESG as we pursue our goal of becoming a leader in sustainability. Starting with the first point. As a best-in-class end-to-end fragrance operator and trendsetter, we continue to reinforce our leadership across the full price spectrum ranging from mass and masstige fragrances, all the way up to ultra-premium and niche fragrances.๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์†Œ์…œ ๋ฏธ๋””์–ด ์˜นํ˜ธ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์„ ๋ฐ”ํƒ•์œผ๋กœ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋ฅผ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์œก์„ฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด์ œ๋Š” ๋ฏผ์ฒฉํ•œ ํ˜์‹  ์ „๋žต์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์™„ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์„ธ ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ, ์ฑ„๋„, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ฌผ๋ก  ์ง€์—ญ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๊ณ„์† ํฌ์ฐฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ง€์† ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ ๋ถ„์•ผ์˜ ๋ฆฌ๋”๊ฐ€ ๋˜๊ณ ์ž ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ์ถ”๊ตฌํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ESG์—์„œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ด์ •ํ‘œ๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ํฌ์ธํŠธ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•ด ๋ณด๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ์ข…ํ•ฉ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์šด์˜์‚ฌ์ด์ž ํŠธ๋ Œ๋“œ ์„ธํ„ฐ๋กœ์„œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋Œ€์ค‘ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋งค์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ดˆ๊ณ ๊ฐ€ ๋ฐ ๋‹ˆ์น˜ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์— ์ด๋ฅด๊ธฐ๊นŒ์ง€ ์ „ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ๋Œ€์—์„œ์˜ ๋ฆฌ๋”์‹ญ์„ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Our leadership in fragrances across the price gamut was evidenced in the Q2 results. The combination of prestige and mass fragrances account for over 60% of annual sales. Given the importance of fragrances for Coty, the performance of our brands was encouraging. Sell-out for our Prestige fragrances grew by a high-single-digit percentage in the first half, even as sell-in was several points lower due to retailer inventory management. On the Consumer Beauty side, our mass fragrance like-for-like sales were also strong with midsingle-digit growth. Starting with Hugo Boss. For Hugo Boss, now the largest brand at Coty, we are continuing the brand momentum.์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ ๋ฆฌ๋”์‹ญ์€ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ๋Œ€ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ์—์„œ ์ž…์ฆ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€(๊ณ ๊ธ‰) ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์™€ ๋งค์Šค(๋Œ€์ค‘) ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์˜ ์กฐํ•ฉ์ด ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 60% ์ด์ƒ์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Hugo Boss has become the #2 male fragrance brand in Europe, an increase of one rank from the prior year. This was fueled by the continued expansion of the Boss Bottled franchise including the recently launched Boss Bottled Absolu and Elixir, as well as the strong performance of Boss the Scent Elixir. In total, the brand's sales grew mid-single-digits like-for-like in the first half. Moving to Burberry. The phenomenal success of Burberry Goddess, followed by the launch of Burberry Goddess Intense, and continued momentum of the Burberry Her and Burberry Hero franchises drove Burberry to significantly outperform the underlying market.ํœด๊ณ  ๋ณด์Šค๊ฐ€ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์—์„œ ๋‚จ์„ฑ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ 2์œ„๋กœ ์˜ฌ๋ผ์„ฐ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œํ•ด๋ณด๋‹ค ํ•œ ๋‹จ๊ณ„ ์ƒ์Šนํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ์ตœ๊ทผ ์ถœ์‹œ๋œ ๋ณด์Šค ๋ณดํ‹€๋“œ ์••์†”๋ฃจ์™€ ์—˜๋ฆญ์„œ๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ ๋ณด์Šค ๋ณดํ‹€๋“œ ํ”„๋žœ์ฐจ์ด์ฆˆ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ํ™•์žฅ๊ณผ ๋ณด์Šค ๋” ์„ผํŠธ ์—˜๋ฆญ์„œ์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ์— ํž˜์ž…์€ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ, ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ์œ ์‚ฌ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€ ๋ณด๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ ์—ฌ์‹ ์˜ ๋†€๋ผ์šด ์„ฑ๊ณต์— ์ด์–ด ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ ์—ฌ์‹  ์ธํ…์Šค์˜ ์ถœ์‹œ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ ํ—ˆ์™€ ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ ํžˆ์–ด๋กœ ํ”„๋žœ์ฐจ์ด์ฆˆ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์ด ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ์ดˆ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์›ƒ๋„๋Š” ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋กœ ์ด๋Œ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
In calendar '24, Burberry fragrance retail sales grew over 30%, which was more than 3x the prestige fragrance market. And sales in the past two quarters were also robust, with over 20% growth. Next, on Chloe. The launch of Chloe Signature Intense resonated strongly across many global markets, boosting this core pillar for Chloe. At the same time, the ultra-premium Chloe Atelier des Fleur line maintained strong growth momentum. We also leveraged the success of both lines to relaunch Chloe in the U.S., which is off to a strong and promising start. Altogether, Chloe's revenues increased by a mid-teens percentage in the first half.2024๋…„๋„์— ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์˜ ์†Œ๋งค ๋งค์ถœ์ด 30% ์ด์ƒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์ธ 3๋ฐฐ๋ฅผ ๋„˜์–ด์„ฐ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ ๋‘ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ์—๋„ ๋งค์ถœ์€ 20% ์ด์ƒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ๋“ฑ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค์Œ์œผ๋กœ, ํด๋กœ์—์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํด๋กœ์— ์‹œ๊ทธ๋‹ˆ์ฒ˜ ์ธํ…์Šค์˜ ์ถœ์‹œ๊ฐ€ ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ํฐ ํ˜ธ์‘์„ ์–ป์œผ๋ฉฐ ํด๋กœ์—์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ์„ ๊ฐ•ํ™”์‹œ์ผฐ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋™์‹œ์—, ์ดˆ๊ณ ๊ฐ€ ์ œํ’ˆ์ธ ํด๋กœ์— ์•„๋œฐ๋ฆฌ์— ๋ฐ ํ”Œ๋ขฐ๋ฅด ๋ผ์ธ๋„ ๊ฐ•ํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์ด ๋‘ ๋ผ์ธ์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณต์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜์—ฌ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ ํด๋กœ์—๋ฅผ ์žฌ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์‹œ์ž‘๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์œ ๋งํ•œ ๋ชจ์Šต์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ, ํด๋กœ์—์˜ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ค‘๊ฐ„-10๋Œ€ ํผ์„ผํŠธ๋Œ€๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
On Marc Jacobs, our recent launches, Perfect Elixir and Daisy Wild, expanded the brand's reach and boosted performance. Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild remains the #1 fragrance launch in the UK throughout calendar '24, propelling the overall Daisy franchise to the #1 spot. As a result, sales for Marc Jacobs grew at a mid-single-digit pace like-for-like in the first half.

Like-for-like sales in the first half grew at a high-single-digit level, and we are excited about the next phase for Davidoff, as we've recently announced Gen Z-favorite, Charles Melton, as the new brand ambassador, with a key initiative for the brand on track for the second half of this year. Importantly, our Consumer Beauty fragrance portfolio accounts for a high-single digit percentage of our sales in first half '25. Our big bet this year was the Adidas Vibes collection of six fragrances, the first mass fragrance line designed and scientifically proven to enhance one's mood, reinforcing our leading fragrance R&D capabilities.

Adidas Vibes is on track to be our largest Consumer Beauty launch in at least six years, driving double-digits growth in adidas fragrance sales in the first half. And this sales growth has been accompanied by market share gains in the countries of launch, including France, Italy and Central Europe. With Vibes on track to be launched in additional countries in the coming months, we see significant potential for this launch, setting the foundation to transform Vibes into a multi-category scenting platform. We are bringing our agile beauty approach to mass fragrances with recent launches under Chanson d'Eau and Pret a Porter, which had been dormant in our portfolio.์•„๋””๋‹ค์Šค ๋ฐ”์ด๋ธŒ์Šค๋Š” ์ตœ์†Œ 6๋…„ ๋งŒ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์ œํ’ˆ ์ถœ์‹œ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ฒซ ๋ฐ˜๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ์•„๋””๋‹ค์Šค ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋งค์ถœ์„ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ๋กœ ์ด๋Œ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ํ”„๋ž‘์Šค, ์ดํƒˆ๋ฆฌ์•„, ์ค‘์•™ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ ๋“ฑ ์ถœ์‹œ ๊ตญ๊ฐ€์—์„œ์˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์™€ ๋™๋ฐ˜๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ๋ช‡ ๋‹ฌ ์•ˆ์— ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ๊ตญ๊ฐ€์—์„œ ๋ฐ”์ด๋ธŒ์Šค ์ถœ์‹œ๊ฐ€ ์˜ˆ์ •๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์–ด, ์ด๋ฒˆ ์ถœ์‹œ๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์„ ์ง€๋‹ˆ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋ฐ”์ด๋ธŒ์Šค๋ฅผ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ–ฅ๊ธฐ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณ€๋ชจ์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์„ ๋งˆ๋ จํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ตœ๊ทผ์—๋Š” ์ƒน์†ก ๋„์™€ ํ”„๋ ˆํƒ€ ํฌ๋ฅดํ…Œ ๋“ฑ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค์—์„œ ์ž ์‹œ ์†Œํ™€ํžˆ ๋‹ค๋ฃจ์–ด์กŒ๋˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์„ ๋Œ€์ƒ์œผ๋กœ ํ•œ ์‹ ์ œํ’ˆ ์ถœ์‹œ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋ฏผ์ฒฉํ•œ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์ ‘๊ทผ ๋ฐฉ์‹์„ ๋Œ€์ค‘ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์— ์ ์šฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We developed the 6-scent Pret a Porter collection, which you can see on this slide, in under a year, and recently launched it online at Amazon and in store at Walmart. With luxury codes, quality juices and a price point under $20, we are attracting consumers who are looking to participate in the current fragrance trends at a value price. The third lever in our fragrance strategy is adding new and attractive scalable licenses. In December, we announced that, we entered into a new long-term license agreement with Swarovski, further strengthening our Prestige fragrance portfolio.๋‹ค์Œ ์Šฌ๋ผ์ด๋“œ์—์„œ ๋ณด์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” 'ํ”„๋ ˆํƒ€ํฌ๋ฅดํ…Œ' ์ปฌ๋ ‰์…˜์€ 6๊ฐ€์ง€ ํ–ฅ์œผ๋กœ ๊ตฌ์„ฑ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 1๋…„๋„ ์ฑ„ ๋˜์ง€ ์•Š์•„ ๊ฐœ๋ฐœ์„ ์™„๋ฃŒํ•˜๊ณ  ์ตœ๊ทผ์— ์•„๋งˆ์กด ์˜จ๋ผ์ธ๊ณผ ์›”๋งˆํŠธ ๋งค์žฅ์—์„œ ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Ÿญ์…”๋ฆฌํ•œ ๋””์ž์ธ, ๊ณ ํ’ˆ์งˆ์˜ ํ–ฅ๋ฃŒ๋ฅผ ์‚ฌ์šฉํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ๋„ 20๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฏธ๋งŒ์˜ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ๋Œ€๋กœ, ํ˜„์žฌ์˜ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ํŠธ๋ Œ๋“œ์— ์ฐธ์—ฌํ•˜๊ณ ์ž ํ•˜๋Š” ์†Œ๋น„์ž๋“ค์„ ๋Œ์–ด๋“ค์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์ „๋žต์˜ ์„ธ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์š”์†Œ๋Š” ์ƒˆ๋กญ๊ณ  ๋งค๋ ฅ์ ์ธ ํ™•์žฅ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ๋ผ์ด์„ ์Šค๋ฅผ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ 12์›”, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์Šค์™€๋กœ๋ธŒ์Šคํ‚ค์™€ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๋ผ์ด์„ ์Šค ๊ณ„์•ฝ์„ ์ฒด๊ฒฐํ–ˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฐœํ‘œํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค๋ฅผ ๋”์šฑ ๊ฐ•ํ™”์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” ๊ณ„๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Swarovski's top luxury positioning has strong appeal among consumers worldwide and the brand is present in over 140 countries. The first fragrance under the Swarovski brand will launch in calendar year 2026, and we see significant potential for the fragrance line which will access Swarovski's 2,300 boutiques in addition to traditional retail. Shifting to our mass color cosmetics business, which accounts for a low 20s percentage of our annual sales. Dynamics in the mass color cosmetics market remain complex, with flattish category performance globally and moderate declines in the U.S., coupled with ongoing competition from established and newer players.์Šค์™€๋กœ๋ธŒ์Šคํ‚ค์˜ ์ตœ๊ณ ๊ธ‰ ๋Ÿญ์…”๋ฆฌ ํฌ์ง€์…”๋‹์€ ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์†Œ๋น„์ž๋“ค ์‚ฌ์ด์—์„œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋งค๋ ฅ์„ ๋ฐœํœ˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋Š” 140๊ฐœ๊ตญ ์ด์ƒ์—์„œ ํ™œ๋™ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์Šค์™€๋กœ๋ธŒ์Šคํ‚ค ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ํ•˜์˜ ์ฒซ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜๋Š” 2026๋…„๋„์— ์ถœ์‹œ๋  ์˜ˆ์ •์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ „ํ†ต์ ์ธ ์†Œ๋งค์ ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์Šค์™€๋กœ๋ธŒ์Šคํ‚ค์˜ 2,300๊ฐœ ๋ถ€ํ‹ฐํฌ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด์„œ๋„ ์ ‘๊ทผํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ผ์ธ์— ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ๋Œ€์ค‘ ์ƒ‰์กฐ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์‚ฌ์—…์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€ ๋ณด๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์‚ฌ์—…์€ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 20%๋Œ€ ์ดˆ๋ฐ˜์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Œ€์ค‘ ์ƒ‰์กฐ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ๋™ํ–ฅ์€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๋ณต์žกํ•œ ์ƒํƒœ๋กœ, ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ ์„ฑ๋Šฅ์ด ํ‰ํƒ„ํ•˜๋ฉฐ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ๋Š” ์•ฝ๊ฐ„์˜ ํ•˜๋ฝ์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ๊ธฐ์กด ์—…์ฒด๋“ค๊ณผ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์ž๋“ค๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ๋„ ์ด์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
The combination of this and continued pressure on certain retailers resulted in our color cosmetics sales declining moderately. However, against this backdrop we continue to strengthen our brands through a combination of social media advocacy and a more agile innovation cycle. Multi-tier influencer activations behind viral CoverGirl launches such as Outlast Lipstain and Yummy Gloss Plumper drove a 4x increase year-on-year in CoverGirl's earned media value linked to influencers activity and the brand maintained an EMV rank of #5. This continued strength in social media advocacy coupled with our on-trend innovations, resulted in CoverGirl gaining 60 bps of online market share last quarter.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์š”์ธ๊ณผ ์ผ๋ถ€ ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์••๋ฐ•์ด ๊ฒน์ณ์ ธ์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ๋‹ค์†Œ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‚˜ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ƒํ™ฉ ์†์—์„œ๋„ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์†Œ์…œ ๋ฏธ๋””์–ด ์˜นํ˜ธ ํ™œ๋™๊ณผ ๋”์šฑ ๋ฏผ์ฒฉํ•œ ํ˜์‹  ์ฃผ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„์›ƒ๋ผ์ŠคํŠธ ๋ฆฝ์Šคํ…Œ์ธ๊ณผ ์œ ๋ฏธ ๊ธ€๋กœ์Šค ํ”Œ๋Ÿผํผ์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ๋ฐ”์ด๋Ÿด ์ปค๋ฒ„๊ฑธ ์ถœ์‹œ ๋’ค์— ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง„ ๋‹ค์ธต์  ์ธํ”Œ๋ฃจ์–ธ์„œ ํ™œ๋™์€ ์ปค๋ฒ„๊ฑธ์˜ ์ธํ”Œ๋ฃจ์–ธ์„œ ํ™œ๋™๊ณผ ์—ฐ๊ณ„๋œ ์–ธ๋ก  ๋งค์ฒด ๊ฐ€์น˜๋ฅผ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 4๋ฐฐ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์‹œ์ผฐ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋Š” EMV(์–ธ๋ก  ๋งค์ฒด ๊ฐ€์น˜) ์ˆœ์œ„์—์„œ 5์œ„๋ฅผ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์†Œ์…œ ๋ฏธ๋””์–ด ์˜นํ˜ธ ํ™œ๋™์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ฐ•ํ™”์™€ ํŠธ๋ Œ๋“œ์— ๋งž๋Š” ํ˜์‹ ์ด ๊ฒฐํ•ฉ๋˜์–ด, ์ปค๋ฒ„๊ฑธ์€ ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์˜จ๋ผ์ธ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ 60bps ํ–ฅ์ƒ์‹œ์ผฐ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
As part of our Agile Beauty initiative, we are supplementing our core cosmetics innovation with fast innovation launched in a matter of months, including the recently launched CoverGirl Trublend Skin Enhancer Balms. Similarly, Rimmel's earned media value linked to influencers activity grew 13%, with the brand ranking #7 globally in terms of EMV amongst both mass and prestige brands. This EMV momentum and Rimmel's leading innovations, including Better Than Filters foundation, supported 30 bps of online market share gains in the past quarter for Rimmel.์ €ํฌ์˜ Agile Beauty ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์˜ ์ผํ™˜์œผ๋กœ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ•ต์‹ฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ํ˜์‹ ์„ ๋ณด์™„ํ•˜์—ฌ ๋ช‡ ๋‹ฌ ๋งŒ์— ์ถœ์‹œ๋˜๋Š” ์‹ ์†ํ•œ ํ˜์‹ ์„ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์— ์ตœ๊ทผ ์ถœ์‹œ๋œ CoverGirl Trublend Skin Enhancer Balms๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ, Rimmel์˜ ์ธํ”Œ๋ฃจ์–ธ์„œ ํ™œ๋™๊ณผ ์—ฐ๊ณ„๋œ ์–ธ๋ก  ๋งค์ฒด ๊ฐ€์น˜(EMV)๋Š” 13% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜์—ฌ, ๋Œ€์ค‘ ๋ฐ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ‹€์–ด ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ EMV ์ˆœ์œ„์—์„œ 7์œ„๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ EMV์˜ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€๊ณผ Rimmel์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ํ˜์‹  ์ œํ’ˆ์ธ Better Than Filters ํŒŒ์šด๋ฐ์ด์…˜์€ ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ Rimmel์˜ ์˜จ๋ผ์ธ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ 30bps ํ–ฅ์ƒ์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ์—ฌํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Altogether, leveraging this playbook of multi-tiered influencer engagement and support, strong e-commerce activation and a robust innovation pipeline, our Consumer Beauty makeup brands are performing better than most legacy cosmetics brands. The omnichannel market share of our leading brands Rimmel, CoverGirl and Max Factor is modestly lower with gains online offset by declines in brick & mortar. But importantly, our cosmetics brands are outperforming other established brands, which have seen more significant pressure from newer brands.์ด ๋‹ค์ธต์  ์ธํ”Œ๋ฃจ์–ธ์„œ ์ฐธ์—ฌ ๋ฐ ์ง€์›, ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ํ™œ์„ฑํ™”, ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ํ˜์‹  ํŒŒ์ดํ”„๋ผ์ธ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ „๋žต์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ฉ”์ดํฌ์—… ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์€ ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ๊ธฐ์กด ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ๋‚˜์€ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์ธ ๋ฆผ๋ฉœ, ์ปค๋ฒ„๊ฑธ, ๋งฅ์ŠคํŒฉํ„ฐ์˜ ์˜ด๋‹ˆ์ฑ„๋„ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์€ ์˜จ๋ผ์ธ์—์„œ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ด ์˜คํ”„๋ผ์ธ์˜ ๊ฐ์†Œ๋ฅผ ์ƒ์‡„ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์†Œํญ ๋‚ฎ์•„์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์ด ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋” ํฐ ์••๋ฐ•์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐํƒ€ ์žฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์„ ๋Šฅ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
It's also equally true that many disruptor makeup brands that entered the market in the last 5-10 years and saw strong initial momentum, are struggling to maintain relevancy. In fact, we believe one of the key drivers of the pressure in the mass cosmetics category is the increasing reliance on newer brands, in contrast with the much healthier luxury cosmetics category which has a positive balance between heritage brands and new brands with both fueling the market growth. This picture holds true in the U.S. as well. In the last quarter, while CoverGirl maintained stable to slightly lower market share on an omnichannel basis, most legacy brands have seen material market share declines.๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ ์ง€๋‚œ 5-10๋…„ ์‚ฌ์ด์— ์‹œ์žฅ์— ์ง„์ž…ํ•œ ๋งŽ์€ ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์ด ์ฒ˜์Œ์—๋Š” ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋™๋ ฅ์„ ๋ณด์˜€์ง€๋งŒ, ํ˜„์žฌ๋Š” ๊ด€๋ จ์„ฑ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์–ด๋ ค์›€์„ ๊ฒช๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ, ๋Œ€์ค‘ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ์••๋ฐ•์„ ๋ฐ›๋Š” ์ฃผ์š” ์›์ธ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜๋Š” ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์˜์กด๋„๊ฐ€ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ๊ณผ ๋Œ€์กฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ, ์œ ์‚ฐ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์™€ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๊ฐ€ ์‹œ์žฅ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ด‰์ง„ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•œ ๊ท ํ˜•์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ธ‰ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋” ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•˜๋‹ค๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฏฟ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ƒํ™ฉ์€ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ๋„ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ, CoverGirl์€ ์˜ด๋‹ˆ์ฑ„๋„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ด๊ฑฐ๋‚˜ ์•ฝ๊ฐ„ ๋‚ฎ์€ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ์ „ํ†ต ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์€ ๋ˆˆ์— ๋„๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ ํ•˜๋ฝ์„ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Of course, in addition to our core categories and initiatives, we also continue to capture additional growth opportunities across channels, categories and markets. We saw strong consumer demand in our e-commerce business, which accounts for about 20% of our sales. Our e-commerce sell-out in both our Prestige and Consumer Beauty businesses grew double-digits in both Q2 and the first half. This was well ahead of the underlying e-commerce market growth in the first half, as captured by third-parties such as Circana and Nielsen, as we gained market share across many brands including Burberry and Marc Jacobs in Prestige, and CoverGirl, Sally Hansen and Nautica in Consumer Beauty.๋ฌผ๋ก , ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์™€ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ ์™ธ์—๋„, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ฑ„๋„, ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ ๋ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ํฌ์ฐฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ „์ž ์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ์‚ฌ์—…์—์„œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ๋ชฉ๊ฒฉํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ์•ฝ 20%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ฐ ์ปจ์Šˆ๋จธ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‚ฌ์—… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ์˜ ์ „์ž ์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ํŒ๋งค๋Š” 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ๋ชจ๋‘ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” Circana ๋ฐ Nielsen๊ณผ ๊ฐ™์€ ์ œ3์ž๊ฐ€ ํฌ์ฐฉํ•œ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ ์ „์ž ์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ์‹œ์žฅ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์•ž์„  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์™€ ๋งˆํฌ ์ œ์ด์ฝฅ์Šค(ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ) ๋ฐ ์ปค๋ฒ„๊ฑธ, ์ƒ๋ฆฌ ํ•œ์„ผ, ๋‚˜์šฐํ‹ฐ์นด(์ปจ์Šˆ๋จธ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ) ๋“ฑ ๋งŽ์€ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์—์„œ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
At the same time, our e-commerce sell-in significantly lagged sell-out in both Prestige and Consumer Beauty, as we observed similar behavior in terms of tight order management. Of course, with e-retailers and retail.com players continuing to gain share within the beauty market, and our brands gaining share globally on these platforms, this reaffirms our strong digital capabilities and the relevance of our brands. Shifting to our skincare business, we are continuing to steadily expand the reach of our brands Lancaster, philosophy and Orveda, though new launches, gradual distribution expansion and strong social media activation.๋™์‹œ์—, ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€์™€ ์ปจ์Šˆ๋จธ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰์€ ์ฃผ๋ฌธ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ์—„๊ฒฉํžˆ ํ•˜๋Š” ๋น„์Šทํ•œ ํ–‰ํƒœ๋ฅผ ๊ด€์ฐฐํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ํŒ๋งค ์‹ค์ ์— ํฌ๊ฒŒ ๋’ค์ณ์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌผ๋ก , ์ „์ž ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค๊ณผ retail.com ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์–ด๋“ค์ด ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ ๋‚ด์—์„œ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์ด ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์—์„œ ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋””์ง€ํ„ธ ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰๊ณผ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ๊ด€๋ จ์„ฑ์„ ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ํ™•์ธ์‹œ์ผœ ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์Šคํ‚จ์ผ€์–ด ์‚ฌ์—…์œผ๋กœ ๋„˜์–ด๊ฐ€์„œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋žญ์ปค์Šคํ„ฐ, ํ•„๋กœ์†Œํ”ผ, ์˜ค๋ฅด๋ฒ ๋‹ค ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ๋ ฅ์„ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ถœ์‹œ, ์ ์ง„์ ์ธ ์œ ํ†ต ํ™•์žฅ ๋ฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์†Œ์…œ ๋ฏธ๋””์–ด ํ™œ์„ฑํ™”๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊พธ์ค€ํžˆ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
While we are still only a few months into Lancaster's repositioning as an expert in photo protection and photo repair, the new positioning coupled with the newly launched Golden Lift skincare line are driving continued expansion of the brand with double-digit percentage Lancaster sales growth fueled by both Europe and China. And our social media advocacy strategy is supporting this growth. In Q2, Lancaster's EMV grew by a factor of 13 year-over-year and ranking at #7 amongst its competitive set, an increase of four ranks versus a year ago.๋žญ์ปค์Šคํ„ฐ๊ฐ€ ์‚ฌ์ง„ ๋ณดํ˜ธ ๋ฐ ๋ณต์› ์ „๋ฌธ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋กœ์˜ ์žฌํฌ์ง€์…”๋‹์„ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•œ ์ง€ ๋ช‡ ๋‹ฌ ๋ฐ–์— ๋˜์ง€ ์•Š์•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ํฌ์ง€์…”๋‹๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์ถœ์‹œ๋œ ๊ณจ๋“  ๋ฆฌํ”„ํŠธ ์Šคํ‚จ์ผ€์–ด ๋ผ์ธ์ด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ์ด๋Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์œ ๋Ÿฝ๊ณผ ์ค‘๊ตญ์—์„œ์˜ ๋žญ์ปค์Šคํ„ฐ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜๋ฉฐ ์ด‰์ง„๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์†Œ์…œ ๋ฏธ๋””์–ด ์˜นํ˜ธ ์ „๋žต์ด ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋žญ์ปค์Šคํ„ฐ์˜ EMV๋Š” ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 13๋ฐฐ ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์ค‘์—์„œ 7์œ„๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜์—ฌ 1๋…„ ์ „๋ณด๋‹ค 4๊ณ„๋‹จ ์ƒ์Šนํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Similarly, we've seen strong social media momentum behind philosophy, which ranked #4 in EMV amongst its competitive set, an increase of four ranks from a year ago. We also see momentum in our growth engine markets, which account for over 20% of our sales, which remains strong. In China, which accounts for only 3% of our sales, the market dynamics remain quite challenged for all industry players, even though the fragrance category continues to outperform overall beauty. Despite the headwinds in China, nearly all of our other growth engine markets are performing well.๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ฒ ํ•™ ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์†Œ์…œ ๋ฏธ๋””์–ด ๋™๋ ฅ์„ ๋ชฉ๊ฒฉํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ถ„์•ผ๋Š” ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ ์„ธํŠธ ์ค‘์—์„œ EMV(์–ธ๊ธ‰ ๊ฐ€์น˜)์—์„œ 4์œ„๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 1๋…„ ์ „๋ณด๋‹ค ๋„ค ๊ณ„๋‹จ ์ƒ์Šนํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์ „์ฒด ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 20% ์ด์ƒ์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ์„ฑ์žฅ ์—”์ง„ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ๋„ ๋™๋ ฅ์„ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘๊ตญ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ์ „์ฒด ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 3%๋งŒ์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์ธ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‚ฐ์—…์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋Šฅ๊ฐ€ํ•จ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ๋ชจ๋“  ์‚ฐ์—… ์ฐธ์—ฌ์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๋งค์šฐ ๋„์ „์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘๊ตญ์—์„œ์˜ ์—ญํ’์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ๊ฑฐ์˜ ๋ชจ๋“  ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์—”์ง„ ์‹œ์žฅ๋“ค์€ ์ž˜ ์ˆ˜ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
With the benefit of a healthy beauty market backdrop and limited impact from retailer destocking dynamics, we are capturing white space opportunities in markets such as Brazil, Mexico, India, Southeast Asia and Africa. In fact, Coty has now become the #1 prestige fragrance player in South Africa. In total, growth engine markets grew close to 10% like-for-like in the first half and by mid-single digits in Q2. Our Latin America business, including Brazil, remains a highlight of our portfolio. Together these markets contribute 9% of our sales and grew by mid-single-digits in the first half.๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•œ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์˜ ์ด์ ๊ณผ ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด์˜ ์žฌ๊ณ  ์ •๋ฆฌ ์˜ํ–ฅ์ด ์ œํ•œ์ ์ธ ๊ฐ€์šด๋ฐ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ธŒ๋ผ์งˆ, ๋ฉ•์‹œ์ฝ”, ์ธ๋„, ๋™๋‚จ์•„์‹œ์•„, ์•„ํ”„๋ฆฌ์นด์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ํ™œ์šฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ฏธ๊ฐœ์ฒ™ ์‹œ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ํฌ์ฐฉํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ Coty๋Š” ๋‚จ์•„ํ”„๋ฆฌ์นด์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์„ ๋‘๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๊ฐ€ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ ์‹œ์žฅ์€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์œ ์‚ฌ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๊ฑฐ์˜ 10% ์„ฑ์žฅํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ธŒ๋ผ์งˆ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ผํ‹ด ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นด ์‚ฌ์—…์€ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค์˜ ํ•˜์ด๋ผ์ดํŠธ๋กœ ๋‚จ์•„ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ๋“ค์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ๋งค์ถœ์˜ 9%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๋ฉฐ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ด๋ฃจ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Skincare has become one of our largest revenue contributors in Brazil supported by the successful launches of a face care line, a Body Hyaluronic Acid Acquagel under Monange and a special edition lotion and body oil line under Paixao And while still relatively small, we are building the mass fragrance category in Brazil's retail channels, reaching 7% market share in Brazil mass fragrance retail after only one year, with brands like Gabriella Sabatini, Nautica and adidas resonating with consumers.

We are proud to announce that last week CDP raised Coty's Climate score to A- from the previous score of B, putting us towards the top of thousands of disclosing companies. CDP is the leading global platform rating companies on their management of their environmental impacts. This strong ranking and improvement recognizes Coty's continued progress in measuring our climate impact, setting ambitious yet achievable targets and progressing on our sustainability agenda. And, this marked the first year that Coty made submissions to CDP Water and Forests. In sum, we have made major strides in the last 4 years under our Beauty That Lasts sustainability platform, with more still to come.์ง€๋‚œ์ฃผ CDP๊ฐ€ Coty์˜ ๊ธฐํ›„ ์ ์ˆ˜๋ฅผ B์—์„œ A-๋กœ ์ƒํ–ฅ ์กฐ์ •ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์†Œ์‹์„ ์ž๋ž‘์Šค๋Ÿฝ๊ฒŒ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋กœ์จ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ˆ˜์ฒœ ๊ฐœ์˜ ๋ณด๊ณ  ๊ธฐ์—… ์ค‘ ์ƒ์œ„๊ถŒ์— ์œ„์น˜ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

To conclude, we are of course not satisfied by the current sales trends. While the resilience of the beauty market both historically and even now, and solid sellout trends for the majority of our business, give us confidence that the current sales challenges are shorter term in nature, we are resolute in our objective to return to outperforming the beauty market while continuing our strong margin, EPS and cash expansion. The beauty market has changed significantly since we first laid out our strategy and ambitions four years ago.๋งˆ๋ฌด๋ฆฌํ•˜์ž๋ฉด, ํ˜„์žฌ์˜ ํŒ๋งค ์ถ”์„ธ์— ๋งŒ์กฑํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ญ์‚ฌ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ˜„์žฌ์—๋„ ๋ฏธ์šฉ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ํšŒ๋ณต๋ ฅ๊ณผ ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ์‚ฌ์—…์—์„œ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ํŒ๋งค ์ถ”์„ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋“ฏ, ํ˜„์žฌ์˜ ํŒ๋งค ๋„์ „์€ ๋‹จ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ์„ฑ๊ฒฉ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ™•์‹ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‚˜ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฏธ์šฉ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ๋›ฐ์–ด๋„˜๋Š” ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‹ค์‹œ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋งˆ์ง„, ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS), ํ˜„๊ธˆ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ์ง€์†ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋กœ ํ™•๊ณ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ฒ˜์Œ ์ „๋žต๊ณผ ์•ผ๋ง์„ ์„ธ์šด ์ง€ 4๋…„์ด ์ง€๋‚œ ์ง€๊ธˆ, ๋ฏธ์šฉ ์‹œ์žฅ์€ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ๋ณ€ํ™”ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
From a category perspective, fragrances have accelerated significantly supported by structural consumer behavior shifts, while color cosmetics is challenged by evolving channel preferences and new business models. At a market level, China is no longer a key short-term growth engine for beauty, while the U.S. market sustains its momentum. With this backdrop, fiscal year '25 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Coty, as we evaluate our operations to fuel Coty's long-term success.์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์†Œ๋น„์ž ํ–‰๋™์˜ ๊ตฌ์กฐ์  ๋ณ€ํ™”์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ด ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐ˜๋ฉด, ์ƒ‰์กฐ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ์€ ์ฑ„๋„ ์„ ํ˜ธ๋„์˜ ๋ณ€ํ™”์™€ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค ๋ชจ๋ธ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋„์ „์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ค€์—์„œ๋Š” ์ค‘๊ตญ์ด ๋” ์ด์ƒ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ„์•ผ์˜ ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์—”์ง„์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ฉฐ, ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋™๋ ฅ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ฐฐ๊ฒฝ ์†์—์„œ, 2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„๋Š” Coty์˜ ์žฅ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ๊ณต์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์šด์˜ ์ „๋žต์„ ์žฌํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ์ค‘๋Œ€ํ•œ ํ•ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Coty, Inc. reported its Q2 2025 earnings, indicating a challenging quarter with like-for-like sales trends below expectations due to pressures in specific markets such as China, Travel Retail Asia, Australia, and U.S. Consumer Beauty. Despite these challenges, Coty achieved a 170 basis point expansion in adjusted gross margin and a 16% growth in EPS excluding equity swap impact. The company remains optimistic about the future, citing strong fragrance brand performance and ongoing savings initiatives as reasons for expected sales growth and margin expansion in FY 2026. Coty ended the calendar year 2024 with a leverage below 3x, marking its lowest in over eight years, and continues to focus on reducing leverage further.

[Operator Instructions] We'll take our first question from Oliver Chen with TD Cowen. Oliver Chen

Hi, Sue, Laurent. Thank you. On your commentary about sell-in relative to sell out, what are your thoughts about when retailers might undergo replenishment as that's an issue you're seeing. And also, on your comments on China, Travel Retail Asia, Australia and Consumer Beauty, I mean, how would you characterize the magnitude of the issues relative to what you mentioned? China's not a large percentage of total, but it sounds like things are more cautious there. Thank you. Laurent Mercier

Yeah, thank you. Thank you, Oliver. Thanks for the question.

So, just to give you, I would say some, as you say, some magnitude. Indeed, as we flagged, indeed, during the last quarter, and I mean, we discussed that we were seeing some pockets of the business, okay, where there were some challenges and we were expecting that these pockets, I mean, would stabilize. And in fact, we see that they are worsening in the Q2. In fact, we are talking about 20% of our business, so which is China, but also Travel Retail Asia, Australia, ANZ, and also Consumer Beauty. So, this is really the scope we are talking about.๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‹ˆ๊นŒ, ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹ ๋Œ€๋กœ, ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„์˜ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋ฅผ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ด๋ฏธ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋“ฏ์ด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ์ผ๋ถ€ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์—์„œ ์–ด๋ ค์›€์„ ๊ฒช๊ณ  ์žˆ์—ˆ๊ณ , ์ด ๋ถ€๋ถ„๋“ค์ด ์•ˆ์ •ํ™”๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ๋Š” 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด ๋” ์•…ํ™”๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜๋Š” ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค์˜ 20%๊ฐ€ ํ•ด๋‹น๋˜๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ค‘๊ตญ, ์•„์‹œ์•„์˜ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค์—…, ํ˜ธ์ฃผ, ANZ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฒ”์œ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And indeed, so if combination of China, Travel Retail Asia, and Australia are impacting our prestige business in terms of selling by roughly three points, this is really what you need to have in mind. And if we look at the Consumer Beauty side, indeed, this is really on the U.S. consumer beauty challenges, which is also impacting by three points. So, these are really the two areas of disruption, if I can call them this way. At the same time, so indeed about retailers, indeed, I mean, we had good, especially in Prestige, especially in fragrance. I mean, we had good sellout during the major holiday season, but we are seeing low replenishment from retailers.๊ทธ๋ ‡์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, ์ค‘๊ตญ, ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค์—…, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ˜ธ์ฃผ๊ฐ€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ์‚ฌ์—…์— ์•ฝ 3ํฌ์ธํŠธ ์ •๋„์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ์—ผ๋‘์— ๋‘์–ด์•ผ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์˜ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์–ด๋ ค์›€์ด 3ํฌ์ธํŠธ ์ •๋„์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์ฃผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ, ์ด ๋‘ ์˜์—ญ์ด ์ฃผ์š” ํ˜ผ๋ž€์˜ ์›์ธ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋™์‹œ์—, ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š”, ํŠนํžˆ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ, ํŠนํžˆ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์—์„œ๋Š” ์ข‹์€ ํŒ๋งค ์‹ค์ ์„ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฃผ์š” ํœด์ผ ์‹œ์ฆŒ ๋™์•ˆ ์ข‹์€ ํŒ๋งค๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์—ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ์˜ ์žฌ์ž…๊ณ ๋Š” ์ ์€ ํŽธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So, we are seeing that there is a global pattern that they are very cautious on their inventory management, and indeed, managing their inventories very cautiously and this is indicating also the gap between the sellout and the selling. And if I just take concrete example on fragrance, where indeed we have, I mean, the fragrance as a whole is performing well. I mean, we see our sellout being between the mid to high single digit. But indeed, we are seeing selling below due to these very cautious behavior by the retailers. The sellout is very healthy. Sue Nabi

And Oliver, this is Sue, just to complement on Laurent's answer. We don't see this replenishment happening in H2.

Great. Thank you very much. You obviously touched on it in the release. I was wondering if you could go into a little bit more detail on both the structural challenges that you're seeing in U.S. color cosmetics and the competitive challenges and, how you look to combat those going forward?

Yeah, good morning. So, indeed, you're right. You mentioned some structural challenges. Some of them are also I would say challenges at the moment, specifically when it comes to the closures we are seeing in the pharma drugstore environment. So it's not just structural, but a bit of these challenges is, or indeed structural.

I believe, and this is one thing that I addressed in the earnings call, during the earnings script, sorry, that what makes the color cosmetics category, because this is the category we are referring to, much healthier in prestige is the combination of both heritage couture brands, if I may call them like this, and indie brands, which is not what we are seeing today in the consumer beauty color cosmetic space where only new brands are favored and these new brands are not able to make up for the decline of the market.์ œ๊ฐ€ ์‹ค์  ๋ฐœํ‘œ ์ „ํ™” ํšŒ์˜์—์„œ, ์ •์ •ํ•˜์ž๋ฉด ์‹ค์  ๋ฐœํ‘œ ์ž๋ฃŒ์—์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ๋ฐ” ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๋”์šฑ ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•˜๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋Š” ์ด์œ ๋Š”, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์„œ ๋งํ•˜๋Š” ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ์„ ์ง€์นญํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ธ๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์˜ค๋žœ ์ „ํ†ต์„ ์ž๋ž‘ํ•˜๋Š” ์ฟ ํŠ€๋ฅด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค๊ณผ ์ธ๋”” ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์˜ ์กฐํ•ฉ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €๋Š” ์ด๋ฅผ ์ด๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ๋ถ€๋ฅด๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์˜ค๋Š˜๋‚  ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ๋Š” ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋งŒ์ด ์„ ํ˜ธ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ , ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์€ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ํ•˜๋ฝ์„ ๋งŒํšŒํ•˜๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๋ถ€์กฑํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So I think it takes two to dance, and this is what I believe is the strength of the any market and the heritage brands, by the way, are still doing the biggest chunk of the sales. So I believe that the color cosmetics market, specifically in the U.S. but also elsewhere, would highly benefit from a same exposure between heritage brands that are doing an exceptional job. I'm thinking about CoverGirl. That is the among legacy brands, the one that resists the best among heritage brands. I'm thinking about email outside of the U.S., together with, of course entering new brands, new indie brands, which are going to give a kind of excitement, trendiness, et cetera.์ œ ์ƒ๊ฐ์—๋Š” ์ถค์„ ์ถ”๋ ค๋ฉด ๋‘ ์‚ฌ๋žŒ์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•˜๋“ฏ์ด, ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ๊ฐ•์ ๋„ ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์— ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ด…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ „ํ†ต ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์ด ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ๋งค์ถœ์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ฃ . ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ €๋Š” ๋ฏธ๊ตญ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๊ณณ์—์„œ๋„ ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ์ „ํ†ต ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ๋™๋“ฑํ•œ ๋…ธ์ถœ๋กœ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ๋ฐ›์„ ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ CoverGirl ๊ฐ™์€ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋ฅผ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋ฉด, ์ด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋Š” ์ „ํ†ต ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์ค‘์—์„œ๋„ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ž˜ ๊ฒฌ๋””๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ๋ฐ–์—์„œ์˜ ์ด๋ฉ”์ผ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ…๊ณผ ๋ฌผ๋ก  ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ, ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ธ๋”” ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ์ง„์ž…์„ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋“ค์€ ์‹œ์žฅ์— ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ํฅ๋ถ„๊ณผ ํŠธ๋ Œ๋””ํ•จ์„ ๊ฐ€์ ธ๋‹ค ์ค„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So it really takes the both to grow the market. So if this, and this is part of our discussions with our partner retailers, if this is what is going to happen, I believe that there is no reason for the color cosmetics market not to be back to its traditional low single digit growth. Robert Ottenstein

Okay, thank you. Operator

Our next question comes from Filippo Falorni with Citi. Filippo Falorni

So can you comment on kind of the leverage that you have in fiscal โ€˜26 and you entered fiscal โ€˜26 to kind of accelerate organic sales growth? And in terms of like, how should we think about the year relative to your medium term outlook of 6% to 8%? Thank you. Sue Nabi

Thank you very much, Filippo. So first let me just remind everyone, because I think this is an important element, but this first half and the second half by the way, two is in front of our best year ever, okay. Fiscal โ€˜24 was a year where the company has grown with the highest growth potentially in prestige 18%, and the highest growth ever in the consumer beauty division, which was around 7%, if I recall.

So this is really what explains in a way, how much the comparative has been high for us when it comes to fiscal โ€˜25. In fiscal โ€˜26, we believe that one hopefully the good news would be that retailers will come back to more, I would say classical or normal inventory levels because they cannot forever stay at this level of inventories. I think this was an overreaction following the stocking post supply chain crisis a year and a half ago. So, hopefully, they will be a kind of stabilization. Second thing, our market is a market that's driven by offers. Some competitors speak about stimulus. We speak about an offer driven market, and it's all about this.๋‹ค์Œ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ 2025 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ๋น„๊ต์  ๋†’์€ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ๋ณด์ธ ์ด์œ ๋ฅผ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•˜๋Š” ๋‚ด์šฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์—๋Š” ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์ด ๋” ์ด์ƒ ํ˜„์žฌ์˜ ์žฌ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์—†๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์—, ํฌ๋ง์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ข‹์€ ์†Œ์‹์€ ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์ด ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ „ํ†ต์ ์ด๊ฑฐ๋‚˜ ์ •์ƒ์ ์ธ ์žฌ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋Œ์•„๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์•ฝ ์ผ๋…„ ๋ฐ˜ ์ „ ๊ณต๊ธ‰๋ง ์œ„๊ธฐ ์ดํ›„์˜ ๊ณผ์ž‰ ์žฌ๊ณ  ๋ฐ˜์‘์ด์—ˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ, ์ด๋“ค์ด ์•ˆ์ •์„ ์ฐพ๊ฒŒ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์€ ์ œ์•ˆ์— ์˜ํ•ด ์›€์ง์ด๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ผ๋ถ€ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์—…์ฒด๋“ค์€ ๊ฒฝ๊ธฐ ๋ถ€์–‘์ฑ…์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ œ์•ˆ ์ค‘์‹ฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ์ด ์ด๊ฒƒ์— ๊ด€ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So we will contemplate for fiscal โ€˜26 two very big blockbuster launches. May I remind people that, Coty has been putting on the market and still today, some of the best performing launches of the industry, thinking about Burberry that is continuing to grow by double-digit growth between 20% and 30% year-on-year, which is really unprecedented; Kylie Cosmic, the number one volume launch in the U.S. and in UK; Marc Jacobs, Daisy Wild, Hugo Boss, which has become the number one brand of the division and of the company by the way. So it's really an offer driven business. So we'd have a big innovation in the first house, same thing in the second house.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ํฐ ๋ธ”๋ก๋ฒ„์Šคํ„ฐ ์ถœ์‹œ๋ฅผ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ถ„๊ป˜ ์ƒ๊ธฐ์‹œ์ผœ ๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์ฝ”ํ‹ฐ๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ์— ์ง€๊ธˆ๊นŒ์ง€๋„ ์—…๊ณ„ ์ตœ๊ณ ์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‚ด๋Š” ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค์„ ์ถœ์‹œํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋งค๋…„ 20%์—์„œ 30% ์‚ฌ์ด์˜ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜๋ฉฐ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ •๋ง ์ „๋ก€ ์—†๋Š” ์ผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์นด์ผ๋ฆฌ ์ฝ”์Šค๋ฏน์€ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ๊ณผ ์˜๊ตญ์—์„œ ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰ 1์œ„๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ๊ณ , ๋งˆํฌ ์ œ์ด์ฝฅ์Šค์˜ ๋ฐ์ด์ง€ ์™€์ผ๋“œ, ํœด๊ณ  ๋ณด์Šค๋Š” ํšŒ์‚ฌ์™€ ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ 1์œ„ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๊ฐ€ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ด๋Š” ์ •๋ง๋กœ ์ œ์•ˆ ์ค‘์‹ฌ์˜ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ํ•˜์šฐ์Šค์—์„œ ํฐ ํ˜์‹ ์ด ์žˆ์„ ์˜ˆ์ •์ด๋ฉฐ, ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ํ•˜์šฐ์Šค์—์„œ๋„ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We are also accelerating our distribution gains when it comes to some of our key pillar brands in the prestige division. Some brands and, for example, Chloe was really not a brand we were playing with in the U.S. market. We decided to do so in the first half and with a very strong result. So we will expand this. So the conjunction of big launches together with the distribution expansion of some of our key prestige brands in the U.S. but also in other emerging markets will help us to be back to growth in fiscal '26.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ํ•ต์‹ฌ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์— ์žˆ์–ด์„œ๋„ ์œ ํ†ต ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด, Chloe๋Š” ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๋ณ„๋กœ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๋˜ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์˜ฌํ•ด ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋ฅผ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ๊ฒฐ์ •ํ–ˆ๊ณ , ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์–ป์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ด๋ฅผ ํ™•์žฅํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์‹ ํฅ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ๋„ ์ฃผ์š” ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋“ค์˜ ๋Œ€๊ทœ๋ชจ ์ถœ์‹œ์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์œ ํ†ต ํ™•์žฅ์ด ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์งˆ ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ 2026 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ธ๋กœ ๋Œ์•„์„ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋„์šธ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This together with anything that is not in our control, such as back to more classical retailer inventory levels and hopefully -- hopefully, Travel Retail in Asia and China, even if these are low single digit percentages of our mix, they are still heavily disrupted in the moments we're in right now.

How much do you leverage you're baking in with the guidance and how much reinvestment in AMP and innovation and things like that? And then also, I believe in the prepared remarks, you discussed some softer promotional activity last quarter. Is that something that you might decide to pull on a little bit more here in the back half to help drive volume performance or are you committed to other forms of volume activation? Thank you. Laurent Mercier

Yeah, thank you. Good morning, Korinne. So, first of all, what I want to highlight is really that we are showing in this fiscal '25 and in H1 that we have a very healthy P&L and a very healthy balance sheet.

So the result is really that with the gross margin expansion in H1, I mean, which is close to 200 basis points and we are close to 67% gross margin at end of Q2. So it shows really that all the work we are doing, really managing the food equation, we do it in a very disciplined manner and we keep focusing on this gross margin expansion, which for us is really the strong KPI because, of course, this is really then what's fueling our investment behind the brand and really we keep this very, very strong discipline.๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‹ˆ๊นŒ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด ๊ฑฐ์˜ 200 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋ง์—๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์ด 67%์— ๊ฐ€๊นŒ์›Œ์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์‹ํ’ˆ ๋ฐฉ์ •์‹์„ ๊ด€๋ฆฌํ•˜๋Š” ์ผ์— ์ •๋ง ์—ด์‹ฌํžˆ ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ๋งค์šฐ ์ฒด๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ฒ˜๋ฆฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Œ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ  ํ™•๋Œ€์— ๊ณ„์† ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ ์ง€ํ‘œ(KPI)์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์™œ๋ƒํ•˜๋ฉด ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ด‰์ง„ํ•˜๋Š” ์›๋™๋ ฅ์ด ๋˜๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ •๋ง๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํ›ˆ๋ จ์„ ๊ณ„์† ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So now looking ahead, talking again about gross margin, as you remember, last year, we had also, I mean, very strong gross margin expansion in the H2, which was around 160 basis points. So now we are going to rebalance, there is a seasonality effect so that our H2 gross margin will be slightly lower versus last year due to this high base, but it will remain 100 basis points above fiscal '23 gross margin. So it means that our full year gross margin will land at about 100 basis points improvement.์•ž์œผ๋กœ์˜ ์ „๋ง์„ ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜์ž๋ฉด, ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ถ„๋„ ๊ธฐ์–ตํ•˜์‹œ๊ฒ ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ž‘๋…„์—๋„ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•ํ•œ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ์ด๋ฃจ์—ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ๊ทธ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋Œ€๋žต 160 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ด์ œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์žฌ์กฐ์ •์„ ํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ด๋ฉฐ, ๊ณ„์ ˆ์  ํšจ๊ณผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์˜ฌํ•ด ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์˜ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„์€ ์ž‘๋…„์— ๋น„ํ•ด ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋‚ฎ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋†’์€ ๊ธฐ์ค€์น˜ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ '23 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„๋ณด๋‹ค 100 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ ๋†’๊ฒŒ ์œ ์ง€๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์ด๋งˆ์ง„์ด ์•ฝ 100 ๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šค ํฌ์ธํŠธ ๊ฐœ์„ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž„์„ ์˜๋ฏธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Now, of course, they starting from this gross margin expansion and I can detail later, but it's really the combination of productivity, we still have some pricing effects coming stronger in H1, because we have the carryover from the previous year, but we will have still some positive impact in the -- in H2, also benefiting from the mix. Then we make sure that we keep our NCP in the high 20s, as you saw in the H1, and we continue in H2 to support the initiatives that Sue has just described, and we need to continue to fuel the seller. Then we, I mean, as we are putting in place very strong savings initiatives, but we confirm one of the 20 million this year.๋ฌผ๋ก , ๊ทธ๋“ค์€ ์ด์ œ ๋ง‰ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋งค์ถœ ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ  ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋‚˜์ค‘์— ์ž์„ธํžˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ด๋Š” ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ ํ–ฅ์ƒ๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์ผ๋ถ€ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๊ฐ•ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จ์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ „๋…„๋„์˜ ์ด์›” ํšจ๊ณผ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์—๋„ ์ œํ’ˆ ๋ฏน์Šค์˜ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ๋ฐ›์œผ๋ฉฐ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ ๋‹ค์Œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ๋ณด์…จ๋“ฏ์ด NCP๋ฅผ 20๋Œ€ ํ›„๋ฐ˜์œผ๋กœ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ํ•˜๊ณ , Sue๊ฐ€ ๋ฐฉ๊ธˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•œ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋ฅผ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์—๋„ ๊ณ„์† ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํŒ๋งค์ž์—๊ฒŒ ๊ณ„์† ํž˜์„ ์‹ค์–ด์ค˜์•ผ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š”, ์ฆ‰, ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋ฅผ ์‹œํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์˜ฌํ•ด 2์ฒœ๋งŒ์„ ํ™•์ •ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ํ™•์ธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So it's a combination of short term actions, but also more medium long term actions, which will keep fueling, I mean the margin for next year. So that's really all these that we are showing that we have this discipline, but also agility to manage and to continue EBITDA margin improvement even in a context, which is more uncertain and volatile than before. So that's really, and that's why we confirm really that our, we see our EBITDA margin growing from 70 to 90 basis point fiscal โ€˜25, which means that our EBITDA margin would be close to 19% at the end of this fiscal.

Good morning, good afternoon. I was wondering if you could talk about why you think prestige fragrances has been able to hold on better with respect to growth versus other categories and in terms of the other categories, particularly mass, what you can do to, with respect to innovation to help offset the externals. Thank you. Sue Nabi

Yes, Olivia, thank you for your question. This is Sue speaking. So indeed, it's a very interesting question, if I may say, because this is really what is the key element of the growth of the market. I believe that prestige fragrances are holding much better because they are not easily replaceable.

When you like a scent, you're going to buy this scent and anything closer is not exactly the scent that you like. While on other categories, specifically, for example, on color cosmetics, if you like, I don't know the latest lead color or a primer or whatever, we'll always find something that's very close and it's trying to buy something closer. So I believe that the entry barriers of prestige fragrances are higher because of the uniqueness of the creation, because of the quality of the juices and also because of putting inside this bottles, things that have been crafted for two, three years that are really creations together with science knowhow.๋‹น์‹ ์ด ํ–ฅ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ์ข‹์•„ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜๋ฉด, ๊ทธ ํ–ฅ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ์‚ฌ๋ ค๊ณ  ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ทธ์™€ ๋น„์Šทํ•œ ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์€ ์ •ํ™•ํžˆ ๋‹น์‹ ์ด ์ข‹์•„ํ•˜๋Š” ํ–ฅ๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐ˜๋ฉด์— ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ๋Š”, ํŠนํžˆ ์ƒ‰์กฐ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด ์ตœ์‹  ๋ฆฌ๋“œ ์ƒ‰์ƒ์ด๋‚˜ ํ”„๋ผ์ด๋จธ ๋“ฑ์„ ์ข‹์•„ํ•œ๋‹ค๋ฉด, ๋งค์šฐ ๋น„์Šทํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ์„ ํ•ญ์ƒ ์ฐพ์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ ๋” ๊ฐ€๊นŒ์šด ์ œํ’ˆ์„ ์‚ฌ๋ ค๊ณ  ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์ €๋Š” ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์˜ ์ง„์ž… ์žฅ๋ฒฝ์ด ๋†’๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ์ด์œ ๋Š” ์ฐฝ์ž‘์˜ ๋…ํŠนํ•จ, ์ฃผ์Šค์˜ ํ’ˆ์งˆ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด ๋ณ‘ ์•ˆ์— ๊ณผํ•™์  ๋…ธํ•˜์šฐ์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜ 2~3๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ์ •์„ฑ๋“ค์—ฌ ๋งŒ๋“  ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์„ ๋„ฃ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
I'm thinking about what we've been doing recently by adding molecules that act on the longevity of a fragrance. So these are barrier to entry to the category that explain why fragrances, specifically prestige fragrances or fragrances with a cool, I would say vibe are really resisting better than other categories. So what can we do in terms of innovation and other categories to fuel the growth? Well, the answer is in the first part. In fact, it's about creating entry barriers. I believe that the color cosmetics world have given up on real innovation.์ตœ๊ทผ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์˜ ์ง€์†์„ฑ์— ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์ฃผ๋Š” ๋ถ„์ž๋ฅผ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ์ž‘์—…์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด์š”. ์ด๊ฒƒ๋“ค์€ ํŠนํžˆ ๊ณ ๊ธ‰ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜๋‚˜ ๋ฉ‹์ง„ ๋А๋‚Œ์˜ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ์ž˜ ๋ฒ„ํ‹ฐ๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ด์œ ๋ฅผ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด์ฃผ๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ ์ง„์ž… ์žฅ๋ฒฝ์ด์ฃ . ๊ทธ๋ ‡๋‹ค๋ฉด ํ˜์‹ ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ด‰์ง„ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์€ ๋ฌด์—‡์ผ๊นŒ์š”? ๋‹ต์€ ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‚ฌ์‹ค, ์‹œ์žฅ ์ง„์ž… ์žฅ๋ฒฝ์„ ๋งŒ๋“œ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด์ฃ . ์ €๋Š” ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์—…๊ณ„๊ฐ€ ์ง„์ •ํ•œ ํ˜์‹ ์„ ํฌ๊ธฐํ–ˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
It has become a world of TPMs where everyone is buying from the same TPM, the same kind of innovation, and you end up buying the cheapest option. So it's really this that is missing today in this market and that we are fighting against and are working on through agile innovation that we put in place recently, is to be able, of course, to be on trend and to launch the latest buzz at the moment, but also to be able to put on the market high entry barrier innovation, something difficult to copy, something that's worth the price that you're putting on it, and something that will grow back the market by reattracting consumers who decided that it's worth it, only if it's the cheapest option.์˜ค๋Š˜๋‚  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ง๋ฉดํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ์€ ๋ชจ๋‘๊ฐ€ ๊ฐ™์€ TPM์—์„œ, ๊ฐ™์€ ์ข…๋ฅ˜์˜ ํ˜์‹ ์„ ๊ตฌ๋งคํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ๊ฒฐ๊ตญ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ €๋ ดํ•œ ์˜ต์…˜์„ ์„ ํƒํ•˜๋Š” ์„ธ์ƒ์ด ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ตœ๊ทผ์— ๋„์ž…ํ•œ ๋ฏผ์ฒฉํ•œ ํ˜์‹ ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์‹ธ์šฐ๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๋ฌด์—‡์ด ๋ถ€์กฑํ•œ์ง€๋ฅผ ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋Š” ๋ฌผ๋ก  ํŠธ๋ Œ๋“œ์— ๋งž์ถฐ ์ตœ์‹  ์œ ํ–‰์„ ์ฆ‰์‹œ ์ถœ์‹œํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ๋™์‹œ์— ์‹œ์žฅ์— ์ง„์ž… ์žฅ๋ฒฝ์ด ๋†’์€ ํ˜์‹ ์„ ๋„์ž…ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์‰ฝ๊ฒŒ ๋ชจ๋ฐฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์—†๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ๊ทธ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์ด ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด๊ณ , ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์ด ์ €๋ ดํ•˜๋‹ค๋Š” ์ด์œ ๋งŒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํŒ๋‹จํ•œ ์†Œ๋น„์ž๋“ค์„ ๋‹ค์‹œ ๋Œ์–ด๋“ค์—ฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œํ‚ฌ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our next question comes from Ashley Helgans with Jefferies. Please go ahead. Ashley Helgans

Hey, thanks for taking our question. So last quarter, you mentioned some upcoming kind of product introductions. Just curious if maybe you held off on some of those given the environment or maybe if they didn't perform as expected? And then just following up a little bit on Olivia's question on fragrance being such a strong driver. What's embedded in your underlying assumptions for the second half about the fragrance industry? And then anything you can tell us on fragrance quarter to date? That'd be helpful. Thank you. Sue Nabi

So last quarter, we mentioned some upcoming launches. Indeed, we released them. One of the biggest highlights was indeed the Gucci Flora Orchid, which is really one of the biggest successes of the fal Q1 and Q2. This is really something that was part of the agenda. Yes, to a lesser extent than what we did with Burberry two years ago but still, it's something that is really part of the best-selling innovations in the U.S. and we started, that's why probably we didn't see an effect that was so high. We started with an exclusivity at one key retailer globally, which in a way didn't allow us to take a benefit from all the impact of this launch. Now it's the case.์ง€๋‚œ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ถœ์‹œ ๊ณ„ํš์„ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ๊ทธ ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค์„ ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ์ฃ . ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ํ•˜์ด๋ผ์ดํŠธ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜๋Š” ๋ฐ”๋กœ ๊ตฌ์ฐŒ ํ”Œ๋กœ๋ผ ์˜คํ‚ค๋“œ์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ œํ’ˆ์€ ์ •๋ง๋กœ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์„ฑ๊ณต์„ ๊ฑฐ๋‘” ์ œํ’ˆ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ •๋ง๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๊ณ„ํš์— ํฌํ•จ๋œ ๊ฒƒ์ด์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌผ๋ก  2๋…„ ์ „ ๋ฒ„๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์™€ ํ–ˆ๋˜ ๊ฒƒ๋ณด๋‹ค๋Š” ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋œํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ž˜ ํŒ”๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ์ œํ’ˆ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์•„๋งˆ๋„ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํฐ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ง€ ๋ชปํ–ˆ์„ ๊ฒ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ•œ ์ฃผ์š” ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด์—์„œ๋งŒ ๋…์ ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„ ์ด ์ถœ์‹œ์˜ ๋ชจ๋“  ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ˆ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ๋ชปํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ๋Š” ๊ทธ๋ ‡์ง€ ์•Š์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
It's rolled out everywhere and we can really see that this Flora innovation is doing very, very well. So that's number one. Number two, we are continuing to do key innovations on Boss, specifically on both the scent and the elixirs and the eau de parfum we have launched. This is what explains that Boss has become the number one brand of the company with a stellar growth which is close to high single digits. So this is really also something that explains the two key launches that we have done in the first half. So what are we assuming on fragrance category growth in the second half? We are also going to continue to have launches without revealing what are going to be these launches.์ด์ œ ์ „ ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ์ถœ์‹œ๋˜์—ˆ๊ณ , ์ด ํ”Œ๋กœ๋ผ ํ˜์‹  ์ œํ’ˆ์ด ๋งค์šฐ, ๋งค์šฐ ์ž˜ ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ๋ณผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๊ฒƒ์ด ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ณด์Šค ์ œํ’ˆ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ฃผ์š” ํ˜์‹ ์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํŠนํžˆ ํ–ฅ๊ณผ ์—˜๋ฆญ์„œ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ถœ์‹œํ•œ ์˜ค ๋“œ ํผํ“ธ์— ์ดˆ์ ์„ ๋งž์ถ”๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ณด์Šค๊ฐ€ ํšŒ์‚ฌ์˜ 1์œ„ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๊ฐ€ ๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ฑฐ์˜ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜์— ๊ฐ€๊นŒ์šด ๋†€๋ผ์šด ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ด๋ฃฌ ์ด์œ ๋ฅผ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด ์ค๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•œ ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ฃผ์š” ์ถœ์‹œ๋ฅผ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ ‡๋‹ค๋ฉด ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ์— ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ€์ •ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‚˜์š”? ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ์ถœ์‹œ๋ฅผ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ์–ด๋–ค ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค์ด ์ถœ์‹œ๋ ์ง€๋Š” ๋ฐํžˆ์ง€ ์•Š์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We will continue some of the key initiatives we started in fiscal '24 in the second half by anniversarying these initiatives. Last year, we launched Kylie Cosmic and Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild, which by the way for Daisy Wild has become the number one SKU in terms of innovation in the UK market. So these two innovations will be anniversaried. Last but not least, as you've heard it during the earnings script, we are back also to key innovations behind entry Prestige brands. I'm thinking about Davidoff, who will see for the first time a very strong innovation represented by a Gen Z favorite, Charles Melton, which you will see during the second half of the year.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” 2024 ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์— ์‹œ์ž‘ํ•œ ์ฃผ์š” ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋“ค์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ์ถ”์ง„ํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋“ค์€ ๊ธฐ๋…์ผ์„ ๋งž์ดํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž‘๋…„์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” Kylie Cosmic๊ณผ Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild๋ฅผ ์ถœ์‹œํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, Daisy Wild๋Š” ์˜๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ์ œํ’ˆ ์ค‘์—์„œ 1์œ„ SKU๊ฐ€ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ด ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ํ˜์‹ ์€ ๊ธฐ๋…์ผ์„ ๋งž์ดํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์ˆ˜์ต ๋ณด๊ณ ์„œ์—์„œ ๋“ค์œผ์…จ๋“ฏ์ด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ํ˜์‹ ์— ๋‹ค์‹œ ์ดˆ์ ์„ ๋งž์ถ”๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our next question comes from Patty Kanada with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead. Patty Kanada

Thank you, Laurent. Good morning, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. I just had one on Asia Travel Retail and just Travel Retail in general. So we've been dealing with pressures there for a while now. So wondering if you could talk about Travel Retail outside of Asia and how you're performing there? And related to that, are there opportunities to perhaps resize or reshape your strategy by rebalancing toward non-Asian regions where maybe there's less volatility and more growth opportunity? I would love your thoughts there. Thank you.

Yeah, good morning, Patty, this is Sue. This is a good question. We started to do this in fact in the second half of the first half of this year, meaning October, November and December. We've shifted significant resources from Asia markets, specifically China, but also the Asia Travel Retail to the U.S. and to European market, but mainly to the U.S. That's the reason why even if we do not communicate on this, but we saw our sell-out, reaching some weeks at 50%, 60% of growth in terms of sell-out prior to the holiday season.

So this was really the result of shifting resources from these regions to regions, specifically the U.S., where there is growth, where the momentum behind the fragrance category continues. The prestige fragrance category is still growing in the high single digits, and it's still continuing to premiumize and the -- I would say the -- and the adjacent categories of fragrances, such as Body Mist are also booming there. So it's something that we've done and that we will continue to do, to answer the second part of your question. Now regarding the first part, which is around Asia Travel Retail, you are totally right.์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ์ •๋ง๋กœ ํŠน์ • ์ง€์—ญ, ํŠนํžˆ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์œผ๋กœ ์ž์›์„ ์žฌ๋ฐฐ์น˜ํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ๋Š” ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์ด ์ง€์†๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๊ณ ๋‹จ์œ„ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ํ™”๊ฐ€ ๊ณ„์†๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ๋ฐ”๋”” ๋ฏธ์ŠคํŠธ์™€ ๊ฐ™์€ ์ธ์ ‘ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๋„ ํ˜ธํ™ฉ์„ ๋ˆ„๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ด๋ฏธ ํ•ด์˜จ ์ผ์ด๋ฉฐ, ๋‹น์‹ ์˜ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์˜ ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋‹ต์œผ๋กœ, ์•ž์œผ๋กœ๋„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ธ ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ๋‹น์‹ ์˜ ๋ง์ด ์ „์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋งž์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
You say that the Asian Travel Retail is the one that is really lagging behind the other regions. Americas and Europe are doing very, very well, which is something that is better than what we saw in Asia, but Travel Retail in Asia, I can tell you that it's really behind on key category, which is Prestige Color Cosmetics. It's really the restrictions that happened between Korea and China with regulations on both sides. That really stopped literally a key stream of the sales between these two regions. That was mainly focused when it comes to [indiscernible] and our Color Cosmetics Prestige category.๋‹น์‹ ์€ ์•„์‹œ์•„ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์ง€์—ญ์— ๋น„ํ•ด ์ •๋ง ๋’ค์ฒ˜์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋งํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฏธ์ฃผ์™€ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์€ ๋งค์šฐ, ๋งค์šฐ ์ž˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์•„์‹œ์•„์—์„œ ๋ณธ ๊ฒƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‚˜์€ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์•„์‹œ์•„์˜ ์—ฌํ–‰ ์†Œ๋งค ์‹œ์žฅ์€ ์ฃผ์š” ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์ธ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ์—์„œ ์ •๋ง ๋’ค์ฒ˜์ ธ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ํ•œ๊ตญ๊ณผ ์ค‘๊ตญ ์‚ฌ์ด์— ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•œ ์ œํ•œ๊ณผ ์–‘์ธก์˜ ๊ทœ์ œ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์ด ๋‘ ์ง€์—ญ ๊ฐ„์˜ ์ฃผ์š” ํŒ๋งค ํ๋ฆ„์„ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ๋ฉˆ์ถ”๊ฒŒ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ [๋ถˆ๋ถ„๋ช…ํ•œ ๋ถ€๋ถ„]๊ณผ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์— ์ดˆ์ ์„ ๋งž์ถ”์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So the rest of the categories, be it Fragrances or even Skin Care are continuing to grow much better than what we saw on the Color Cosmetics. So it's really the Color Cosmetics category that is hurting us, which is, I think, a difference versus what our competitors are seeing in this region where it's a lot behind Skin Care. Operator

So indeed, you're totally right, and this is 1 of the reasons why I believe the fierce competition between online players, offline players, of course, e-retailers who are usually offline players too, it's this year's competition that is probably also explaining why all these retailers are really, really pressuring their cash management through inventory management. So that is one of the key explanation and which also explains a lot of door closures we are seeing in the country, bit behind department stores, but also behind some other direct channel when it comes to Consumer Beauty. So indeed, you're right to mention Amazon. They are gaining market share in the beauty industry.๋งž์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, ์ •๋ง ์˜ณ์œผ์‹  ๋ง์”€์ด์—์š”. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์˜จ๋ผ์ธ ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์–ด๋“ค๊ณผ ์˜คํ”„๋ผ์ธ ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์–ด๋“ค, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ณดํ†ต ์˜คํ”„๋ผ์ธ ํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์–ด๋“ค๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋˜๋Š” ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ์—…์ฒด๋“ค ์‚ฌ์ด์˜ ์น˜์—ดํ•œ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์ด ์˜ฌํ•ด์˜ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์ด ์™œ ์ด๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ๋งŽ์€ ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์ด ์žฌ๊ณ  ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ํ˜„๊ธˆ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์— ํฐ ์••๋ฐ•์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€๋ฅผ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด์ฃผ๋Š” ์ด์œ  ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์ฃผ์š”ํ•œ ์„ค๋ช… ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋˜ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋‚˜๋ผ์—์„œ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋งŽ์€ ๋งค์žฅ ํ์‡„ ํ˜„์ƒ์„ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•ด์ฃผ๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋ฐฑํ™”์  ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์†Œ๋น„์ž ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ ์ง์ ‘ ์ฑ„๋„์—๋„ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‹ˆ ์•„๋งˆ์กด์„ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•˜์‹  ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋งž์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋“ค์€ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‚ฐ์—…์—์„œ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
You've seen a lot of players, including some of our brands going to Amazon. I have to remind everyone that we were the first to be partnering with Amazon maybe 6, 7 years ago with brands such as BOSS or such as Calvin Klein, and this has created a very special relationship between us and Amazon. The other element I can tell you when you ask me about CB and Prestige performing on e-com and Amazon, indeed, the growth of our e-com is stellar on both divisions.

They are really doing wonders on Amazon, growing very fast, much faster than in the brick and mortar, which is also a very good indicator of the health of the brands because when you look at the health of a brand online, you really have the pure equity of the brand in front of consumers, while when you think about brick and mortar, there is a lot to do with how the store looks like, how your shelves look like, et cetera. So, for us, it's a strategic channel that we've been outperforming and that we are continuing to outperform in both divisions. Operator

I was wondering if maybe you could talk about your plans around pricing, given the higher FX impact for fiscal '25 now? And I guess where you're expecting pricing to land out versus units for fiscal '25? Sue Nabi

Yeah. Good morning, Susan. So indeed, as you know, I mean, we shared many times last year that, okay, with high inflation, we put in place a price increase, which was a mid-single digit, and even at some moment, we even pushed to have price increase during the year. So now, of course, looking ahead, we are now seeing inflation slowing down.

And so, of course, that we will continue price increase, more moderate, so it's going to be low single digit because again with innovations and all that we are bringing to the market, we have a pricing power. And again, that's really all the power of our technologies, innovations, so we will continue. And we keep monitoring in a very precise manner, managing also versus elasticity so that it's not going against volumes and fragrance is a clear demonstration that we are really well in control. We keep working on pricing in fragrance on both segments, on both divisions, by the way, prestige, but also mass. We keep improving the mix, and volumes keep growing.๋ฌผ๋ก , ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ธ์ƒ์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ ˆ์ œ๋œ ํ˜•ํƒœ๋กœ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์งˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฆ‰, ๋‚ฎ์€ ํ•œ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜์˜ ์ธ์ƒ์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์™œ๋ƒํ•˜๋ฉด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์‹œ์žฅ์— ์„ ๋ณด์ด๋Š” ํ˜์‹ ์ ์ธ ์ œํ’ˆ๋“ค ๋•๋ถ„์— ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ๊ฒฐ์ •๋ ฅ์„ ๊ฐ–์ถ”๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ๊ณผ ํ˜์‹ ์˜ ํž˜์„ ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด์ฃ . ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๋ฅผ ๊ณ„์† ์ด์–ด๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ์ •๋ฐ€ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ชจ๋‹ˆํ„ฐ๋งํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ํƒ„๋ ฅ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋„ ๊ท ํ˜•์„ ๋งž์ถ”์–ด ๊ด€๋ฆฌํ•˜์—ฌ ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰์— ๋ถ€์ •์ ์ธ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜์ง€ ์•Š๋„๋ก ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ž˜ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Œ์„ ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ์‚ฌ๋ก€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์˜ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์„ ๋‘ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ, ์ฆ‰ ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ๊ณผ ๋Œ€์ค‘ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ ๋ชจ๋‘์—์„œ ๊ณ„์† ์กฐ์ •ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ œํ’ˆ ๋ฏน์Šค๋ฅผ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰์€ ๊ณ„์† ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our next question comes from Andrea Teixeira with JPMorgan. Please go ahead. Shabana Chaudhry

Hi, this is Shabana Chaudhry on behalf of Andrea. Thanks for taking our question. Can you comment on the inventory levels at wholesalers and retailers? I'm just trying to decompose the sell-in versus sell-out. Just trying to understand if you're still seeing positive sell-in for fragrances, and your outlook is flattish to negative, even in fiscal '26, or entering, rather. Wouldn't retailers run out of inventory in like six months or so?

Yeah, hello. Good morning. So indeed, inventory at wholesalers and retailers, this is really what we flagged, and indeed, we are still seeing some adjustments. And again, as we just shared, there is also this fierce competition between brick-and-mortar and e-commerce, which is also in a way creating some additional tension. Now when you were raising the question about fragrance, again, fragrance is really by far where we are seeing, I mean, really good sell-out, indeed, the category keeps growing.

And this is the case in Prestige fragrance, and this is also the case in mass fragrance. So category is growing. We are growing our sell-out. We are bringing some new initiatives. So indeed, we are expecting some improvement within our selling fragrance and this is also -- with what has just described. So big launches next year. And we have also some pockets of opportunities. Of course, we will name in the U.S., where absolutely, we have some potential. But also we have still some upside in the e-commerce, where there is also great upside. And last but not least, also in the growth engine markets where we have also some promising plans.ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ถ„์•ผ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ๋Œ€์ค‘ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ๋„ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ด ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํŒ๋งค๋Ÿ‰์„ ๋Š˜๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๊ณ„ํš๋“ค์„ ๋„์ž…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ํŒ๋งค์—์„œ ์ผ์ •ํ•œ ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋ฐฉ๊ธˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•œ ๋‚ด์šฉ๊ณผ๋„ ์ผ์น˜ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‚ด๋…„์—๋Š” ํฐ ์ถœ์‹œ๊ฐ€ ์˜ˆ์ •๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ๊ธฐํšŒ์˜ ์—ฌ์ง€๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ช‡ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ๋ถ„์•ผ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌผ๋ก  ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ๋Š” ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ „์ž์ƒ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜ ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ๋„ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ์ด ํฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์„ฑ์žฅ ์—”์ง„ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ๋„ ์•ฝ์†๋œ ๊ณ„ํš๋“ค์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our next question comes from Chris Carey with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead. Chris Carey

Hi, everyone. I have 2 questions. So, number one, what is your thought process around long-term algorithm? I think this has been a discussion in this forum for the past few quarters. There was clearly some commentary in prepared remarks about adjustments. I think you had talked about best-in-class total shareholder returns, but you have avoided the prior targets that you put out there, clearly, which makes sense given the evolution of the category. I think we could hear more next week, but it feels like an important shift to recalibrate expectations more appropriately for the longer term.

So I'd love your thoughts on what the business is effectively trying to accomplish in the coming years with a longer-term perspective. The only second one, which I'll add on is, can you explain what's going on with the swaps and the prepayment that you have to make in Q3? But mostly, I'm curious on the first question, but I'd love a little bit on the second question as well. Thanks. Sue Nabi

Good morning, Chris, this is Sue speaking. So, yes, indeed, this is a very important question. So let me start sharing with you our thoughts. First, this year, the beauty market growth, as we've seen it all is normalizing to a steadier growth level.

But I have to say that this low to mid-single-digit growth is broadly consistent with what we have estimated several years ago even if the market was much higher, but this is the assumption we made years ago and the growth algorithm was based on a market that was growing between plus 3% and plus 4%. As before, our goal is to outperform the beauty market. This is very, very important. However, in this various macro environment, retailer environment, regional uncertainties, now there are potentially tariff wars that could happen here and there, which are honestly at a level that has not been seen in decades, many, many disruptions.ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ๋ช‡ ๋…„ ์ „๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ–ˆ๋˜ ๊ฒƒ๊ณผ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ๋‹ค๋ฅด์ง€ ์•Š๊ฒŒ, ์‹œ์žฅ์ด ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋” ์ปธ์Œ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ €์กฐํ•œ ์ค‘๊ฐ„ ๋‹จ์ผ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ช‡ ๋…„ ์ „์— ์„ธ์šด ๊ฐ€์ •์€ ์‹œ์žฅ์ด 3%์—์„œ 4% ์‚ฌ์ด์—์„œ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ „์ œ์— ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ „๊ณผ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ, ์ €ํฌ์˜ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋Š” ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ๋›ฐ์–ด๋„˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ๋งค์šฐ, ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ํ˜„์žฌ์˜ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ๊ฑฐ์‹œ ๊ฒฝ์ œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ, ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด ํ™˜๊ฒฝ, ์ง€์—ญ์  ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค์„ฑ ์†์—์„œ, ์ด๊ณณ์ €๊ณณ์—์„œ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ด€์„ธ ์ „์Ÿ๊นŒ์ง€ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ, ์ˆ˜์‹ญ ๋…„ ๋งŒ์— ๋ณด์ง€ ๋ชปํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ๋งŽ์€, ๋งŽ์€ ํ˜ผ๋ž€์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
I think and we think that it is no longer prudent to put specific sales growth targets and we are, therefore, committed like some of our peers to outperforming the market. Whatever the level of growth we see in our core markets and specifically in our core categories. So how do we support this outperformance of the market? I believe that we have several drivers in our hands. First, a robust fragrance category with still penetration and usage that are still increasing structurally and across many markets around the world. Second, the company is expanding its offering in Fragrances now to mass.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด์ œ ํŠน์ • ๋งค์ถœ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ์„ค์ •ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ํ˜„๋ช…ํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์—…๊ณ„ ๋™๋ฃŒ๋“ค์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ์ดˆ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜ํ–‰ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ „๋…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์‹œ์žฅ๊ณผ ํŠนํžˆ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋ณด๋”๋ผ๋„ ๋ง์ด์ฃ . ๊ทธ๋ ‡๋‹ค๋ฉด ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ์ดˆ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜ํ–‰ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”? ์ €๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์ฃผ์š” ์š”์ธ์„ ๊ฐ–๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ, ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๊ตฌ์กฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์‚ฌ์šฉ๋ฅ ๊ณผ ์นจํˆฌ์œจ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘˜์งธ, ์ด์ œ ํšŒ์‚ฌ๋Š” ๋Œ€์ค‘ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์ œํ’ˆ๊ตฐ์„ ํ™•์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So we are really leading and we are the global leader worldwide when it comes to premium Fragrances, up to mass fragrances. Number three, we are expanding our businesses in categories where we are currently underindexed. I'm thinking about Prestige Color Cosmetics category, including the launch of the new Marc Jacobs color cosmetics line, but also I'm thinking about skincare and this gives me the occasion to really say that one brand at Coty is doing wonders in China, fastest growing skincare brand of the market is indeed Lancaster during this quarter. It's growing on the market that is minus 10 at almost 200% and some key SKUs has become part of the Top 20 of the Chinese market.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋Œ€์ค‘ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜์— ์ด๋ฅด๊ธฐ๊นŒ์ง€ ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์„ ๋‘๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ๋ฆฌ๋”์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์„ธ ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ˜„์žฌ ์ €ํ‰๊ฐ€๋œ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ํ™•์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €๋Š” ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ๋ฅผ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋งˆํฌ ์ œ์ด์ฝฅ์Šค ์ปฌ๋Ÿฌ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋ผ์ธ์˜ ์ถœ์‹œ๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ์Šคํ‚จ์ผ€์–ด์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ฝ”ํ‹ฐ์˜ ํ•œ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๊ฐ€ ์ค‘๊ตญ์—์„œ ๊ฒฝ์ด๋กœ์šด ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฑฐ๋‘๊ณ  ์žˆ์Œ์„ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๋Š” ์Šคํ‚จ์ผ€์–ด ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๋Š” ๋ฐ”๋กœ ๋žญ์ปค์Šคํ„ฐ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์žฅ์ด 10% ๊ฐ์†Œํ•˜๋Š” ๋™์•ˆ ๋žญ์ปค์Šคํ„ฐ๋Š” ๊ฑฐ์˜ 200%์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋ช‡๋ช‡ ์ฃผ์š” SKU๋Š” ์ค‘๊ตญ ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ์ƒ์œ„ 20์œ„ ์•ˆ์— ๋“ค์–ด๊ฐ€๊ฒŒ ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So this is really the start of our first green shoots when it comes to skincare on the most difficult market at the moment, but the biggest market when it comes to skincare. Number four, we will continue to grow our penetration and market share online. Hence, the question I've been answering a few minutes ago. This is really an area where we are growing faster than the rest of the market, and we reached the billion dollar threshold a year ago when it comes to online sales. And number five, we'll continue to strongly grow our business in growth engine markets. I'm thinking about South Africa to take one example where the company has become the number one Prestige fragrance maker.์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ํ˜„์žฌ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์–ด๋ ค์šด ์‹œ์žฅ์ด์ง€๋งŒ ์Šคํ‚จ์ผ€์–ด ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์‹ ํ˜ธํƒ„์ด ์‹œ์ž‘๋œ ์ˆœ๊ฐ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋„ค ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์˜จ๋ผ์ธ์—์„œ์˜ ์นจํˆฌ์œจ๊ณผ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐฉ๊ธˆ ์ „์— ๋‹ต๋ณ€ํ–ˆ๋˜ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์ด์™€ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ๊ฒƒ์ด์ฃ . ์ด๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ์˜ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„๋ณด๋‹ค ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์˜์—ญ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์˜จ๋ผ์ธ ํŒ๋งค๋กœ ์ผ๋…„ ์ „์— ์ด๋ฏธ 10์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ๋งค์ถœ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค์„ฏ ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ, ์„ฑ์žฅ ์—”์ง„ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ์˜ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ™•์žฅํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ˆ๋ฅผ ๋“ค์–ด ๋‚จ์•„ํ”„๋ฆฌ์นด๋ฅผ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด์„ธ์š”. ๊ทธ๊ณณ์—์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํšŒ์‚ฌ๋Š” ํ”„๋ ˆ์Šคํ‹ฐ์ง€ ํ–ฅ์ˆ˜ ์ œ์กฐ์—…์ฒด๋กœ์„œ 1์œ„๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
I'm thinking about Saudi Arabia, I'm thinking about Southeast Asia growing by 15%, I'm thinking about Mexico where the company is doing also wonders. So clearly, the addition of this growth, this five, sorry, growth drivers is really what will allow us to grow our sales above the market. And at the same time, our target remains to continue to grow our gross margin. You've seen our gross margin reaching a record level this quarter at almost -- almost 70%, 68% to be precise and, of course, this will allow us to continue to grow our EPS and free cash flow. Laurent, you can do the swap question. Laurent Mercier

So indeed, on the swaps, first of all, I mean, I really want to remind that as you notice, I mean, for the first time ever over the last 8 years, I mean, we are reaching now a leverage ratio below three times and we made very clear that at some moment, I mean, we will resume return to shareholders either through share buyback or dividends. So swap is really a mechanism we put in place indeed to reserve some share buyback. So it's about 48 million shares. So now the mechanics currently that is happening as we are seeing some pullback in our stock price in the recent quarters.๋ฌผ๋ก ์ด์ฃ , ์Šค์™‘์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์šฐ์„  ์ €๋Š” ์ •๋ง ๊ฐ•์กฐํ•˜๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ถ„๋„ ์•„์‹œ๋‹ค์‹œํ”ผ, ์ง€๋‚œ 8๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ์ฒ˜์Œ์œผ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ๋น„์œจ์ด ์„ธ ๋ฐฐ ์ดํ•˜๋กœ ๋–จ์–ด์กŒ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์–ด๋А ์‹œ์ ์—์„œ๋Š” ์ฃผ์ฃผ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ฃผ์‹ ๋งค์ž…์ด๋‚˜ ๋ฐฐ๋‹น์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ๋Œ๋ ค์ค„ ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ ์„ ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์Šค์™‘์€ ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์ฃผ์‹ ๋งค์ž…์„ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋งˆ๋ จํ•œ ๋ฉ”์ปค๋‹ˆ์ฆ˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋Œ€๋žต 4,800๋งŒ ์ฃผ์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ฃผ์‹ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ์ด ์ตœ๊ทผ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋‹ค์†Œ ํ•˜๋ฝํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ธ ๋ฉ”์ปค๋‹ˆ์ฆ˜์„ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So there is a mechanism that we need to have to give a cash payment to the banks according to the current stock price. So in a way, this is really an anticipation, but it's also the confirmation that at some moment indeed, we will operate this share buyback. Operator

And maybe if you could comment on whether the inventory levels prior to the recent slowdown, especially in prestige fragrance, which had accelerated coming out of the pandemic was elevated or not relative to historical levels for fragrances just from a retailer perspective? And then secondly, in the press release, you talked about evaluating the operations to fuel long-term success. You're obviously talking about an increasing focus on reducing leverage. I guess, what are you thinking in terms of the business footprint today versus maybe three years ago? It does seem like Consumer Beauty is a bit more challenged.๋‹ค์Œ์€ ์š”์ฒญํ•˜์‹  ํ…์ŠคํŠธ์˜ ํ•œ๊ตญ์–ด ๋ฒˆ์—ญ๋ณธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค:

You talk about more heritage brands not being the focus of customers at this point. Is the portfolio you have today the right one? Would you consider divesting that business? Would you consider M&A to increase exposure to faster moving categories. Just any sort of color there would be helpful. Thank you. Laurent Mercier

Yes. So, hello, Mark on retailer stock levels, I think this is what we have explained and did that we are in a transition year. I mean, so I think it's important to step back a little, and we need to understand that indeed over the last 2, 3 years, there were a lot of, I mean, disruptions on the market.

And then there was all the supply crisis. And at that moment, indeed some -- there were some shortage of product components, then retailers also rebuilt some inventory. And now indeed, we are seeing that they are growing the other way around. So difficult to tell you how long it's going to take, but there will be a moment where, I think, I mean, the behavior, the retailers will be back also to healthy inventory and then we can really be back to a normal combination and more closer connection between the sell-in and the sell-out.๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ์œ„๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋•Œ ์ •๋ง๋กœ ๋ช‡๋ช‡ ์ œํ’ˆ ๋ถ€ํ’ˆ์ด ๋ถ€์กฑํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค๋„ ์žฌ๊ณ ๋ฅผ ๋‹ค์‹œ ์Œ“๊ธฐ ์‹œ์ž‘ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ง€๊ธˆ์€ ๊ทธ๋“ค์ด ๋ฐ˜๋Œ€ ๋ฐฉํ–ฅ์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์–ผ๋งˆ๋‚˜ ๊ฑธ๋ฆด์ง€ ์ •ํ™•ํžˆ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ธฐ ์–ด๋ ต์ง€๋งŒ, ์†Œ๋งค์—…์ฒด๋“ค์˜ ํ–‰๋™์ด ๊ฑด๊ฐ•ํ•œ ์žฌ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋Œ์•„๊ฐ€๋Š” ์‹œ์ ์ด ์˜ฌ ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋•Œ๊ฐ€ ๋˜๋ฉด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋„ ์ •์ƒ์ ์ธ ์กฐํ•ฉ์œผ๋กœ ๋Œ์•„๊ฐ€๊ณ  ํŒ๋งค ์ง„์ž…๊ณผ ํŒ๋งค ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ ๊ฐ„์˜ ๋” ๊ธด๋ฐ€ํ•œ ์—ฐ๊ฒฐ์„ ์ด๋ฃฐ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Again, assuming that the pocket of disruption that we are seeing again in Asia and also, as we explained in the Consumer Beauty business in the U.S., of course, are getting stabilized, at least, which is not the case today. So that's really what I can tell you on the inventory for retailers. Sue Nabi

Again, in this area, it's -- first, let me start by saying that it's very encouraging to see that our Cosmetic brands, specifically in the U.S., but not only in Europe, too, they continue to outperform most legacy players and this is very important because it means that despite having much less than some legacy players, we are doing a very good job by putting in place the right innovation, powered by the right advocacy strategy in the different markets, and we are activating even more and more agile beauty innovations that are supposed to put on the market innovations as quickly as every 6 months. So this is on one side.๋‹ค์‹œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ง€๋งŒ, ์ด ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ๋Š” ๋จผ์ € ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์œ ๋Ÿฝ์—์„œ๋„ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ™”์žฅํ’ˆ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๊ฐ€ ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ๊ธฐ์กด ์—…์ฒด๋“ค์„ ๋Šฅ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ณ ๋ฌด์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ธฐ์กด ์—…์ฒด๋“ค๋ณด๋‹ค ํ›จ์”ฌ ์ ์€ ์ž์›์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Œ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์˜ฌ๋ฐ”๋ฅธ ํ˜์‹ ์„ ์‹œํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ , ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ์ ์ ˆํ•œ ์˜นํ˜ธ ์ „๋žต์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ฃผ๋„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋”์šฑ ๋ฏผ์ฒฉํ•œ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ํ˜์‹ ์„ ํ™œ์„ฑํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ์˜๋ฏธํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ํ˜์‹ ๋“ค์€ 6๊ฐœ์›”๋งˆ๋‹ค ์‹œ์žฅ์— ์ถœ์‹œ๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์„ค๊ณ„๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ํ•œ ๋ฉด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And we continue, I have to say, to see the benefit of operating across multiple beauty categories in multiple markets and of course, in multiple channels. At the same time, like, I guess, most of the corporations, we are always evaluating our portfolio and this is very important. We are looking very, very closely to the portfolio of the company. And two, of course, where are the long-term opportunities and return on investment presented by each category, by each brand in the different divisions, the different categories and the different markets.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ทฐํ‹ฐ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ์™€ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ์‹œ์žฅ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ฑ„๋„์—์„œ ์šด์˜ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์˜ ์ด์ ์„ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋™์‹œ์— ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„์˜ ๊ธฐ์—…๋“ค์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋„ ํ•ญ์ƒ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค๋ฅผ ํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํšŒ์‚ฌ์˜ ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค๋ฅผ ๋งค์šฐ, ๋งค์šฐ ๋ฉด๋ฐ€ํžˆ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ๊ฐ ์นดํ…Œ๊ณ ๋ฆฌ, ๊ฐ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ๊ฐ€ ์†ํ•œ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ๊ณผ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ์žฅ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ๊ธฐํšŒ์™€ ํˆฌ์ž ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ์–ด๋””์—์„œ ์ฐพ์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€๋ฅผ ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ํŒŒ์•…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So it's really both options that are in our minds, continuing the site while at the same time, looking at what could be done better in the future and what could be pivotal for the company. Operator

And our next question comes from Carla Casella with JPMorgan. Please go ahead. Carla Casella

Hi, just 2 quick ones. One, you've got a couple of bonds maturing in 2026. And I'm wondering if that's something that you want to get ahead of a year before maturity, so they don't go current or does that matter?

Good morning, Carla, I mean, of course, and this is really great improvement now with the deleveraging that we constantly work on our debt maturity, so that we can really be in a healthy place. So, of course, I mean, these are always bond maturities, always the option that we are looking at. Carla Casella

Okay. Great. And then the well state decline of about 3% sequentially. Is that -- and can you give us any update on the performance of that business or maybe the timing of a potential sale of it? Laurent Mercier

So the business is performing well.

So the value that you can see in the books is just some, I would say, accounting methodology and strongly driven by the work or interest rate, which need to be used. So it's really not reflecting really the performance of the company. Then on the second part of your question, as we reminded in our last earnings call is that end of November was the end of the standstill period. So in this context here, I mean, we remain opportunistic and pragmatic, of course, to monetize this asset, which is a great asset in our books. Carla Casella

Great. Thatโ€™s super helpful. Thank you. Operator

I would now like to turn the call back to our speakers for any closing and final remarks.

Thank you very much. So again, thank you, everyone, for attending this earnings call. Again, to conclude, of course, as we said during the earnings call, we are not satisfied by the current sales trend. But at the same time, we continue to believe that this Beauty category, both historically and even now in the future, specifically behind the fragrances, whatever is the price of the fragrances will continue to be a key driver of growth of this market. We are very happy with the improvement of our fundamentals throughout the last 4 years, specifically this year.

You've seen our gross margin, our EBITDA growth, our EPS double-digit growth, and Laurent just mentioned, our deleveraging, which is the lowest since 8 years under 3x. And last but not least, we continue to outperform the market categories we are playing in. Sell-out is the ultimate indicator of the health of our brands, and this one continues to be very good. Thank you very much. Operator

Thank you. And ladies and gentlemen, that does conclude today's conference. We appreciate your participation. Have a wonderful day.

During the earnings call, Laurent Mercier and Sue Nabi discussed various challenges and strategies for their company. Key points included:

1. **Business Challenges**: They noted ongoing challenges in specific business areas such as China, Travel Retail Asia, Australia, and Consumer Beauty, which collectively represent about 20% of their business. These areas are experiencing worsening conditions, impacting their prestige business and U.S. consumer beauty sales.

2. **Retailer Replenishment**: Despite strong sell-out rates, particularly in fragrances during the holiday season, retailers are cautious with inventory management, leading to lower replenishment rates. This cautious approach is creating a gap between sell-out and sell-in rates.

3. **Future Outlook and Strategy**: The company does not anticipate significant replenishment in the second half of the year, maintaining a cautious guidance. They plan to support sales with major product launches and hope for normalization in retailer inventory levels. Additionally, they aim to leverage their online sales channels and expand distribution.

4. **Financial Health**: The company highlighted a healthy profit and loss statement and a strong balance sheet, with gross margin improvements and disciplined management expected to continue driving EBITDA margin growth.

5. **Market and Innovation**: They discussed the importance of innovation in maintaining market share, particularly in prestige fragrances and color cosmetics, and highlighted successful new product launches.

Overall, the company is navigating through market and operational challenges with a focus on innovation, careful inventory management, and strategic market positioning to drive future growth.
