Coty Sharpens Leadership Structure and Operating Model Under Coty.CuratedJuly 2, 2026 8:15 AM
Business Wire Regulatory News: Today, Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) (Paris: COTY) announced a set of organizational changes that advance its Coty.Curated strategy by bringing commercial decision-making closer to the center and enabling the company to move faster. Executive Chairman and interim CEO Markus Strobel will take direct control of Prestige commercial operations, with Coty’s regional leaders reporting to him. The change brings leadership closer to the markets, speeds up decision-making, and sharpens accountability for sell-out and market share. As part of these changes, Coty will integrate Prestige R&D and sustainability with supply chain into one simplified function under the interim leadership of Graeme Carter, Chief Supply Chain Officer. Bringing prestige innovation, sustainability, and supply chain together under one leader streamlines how the company develops and delivers behind its core businesses. Gordon von Bretten, President of Consumer Beauty, will continue to drive an already integrated model in Consumer Beauty. Caroline Andreotti, Chief Commercial Officer Prestige, will leave Coty at the end of September after three years in the role and almost two decades with the company. She shaped Coty’s global commercial strategy, its relationships with key customers and partners, and its leadership in prestige. Dr. Shimei Fan, Chief Scientific and Sustainability Officer, will leave Coty at the end of August. She led the company’s R&D organization and sustainability agenda, helped launch key innovations, and oversaw significant progress including multiple ESG ratings upgrades and the first approval of Coty’s science-based carbon reduction targets by the SBTi. Markus Strobel, Executive Chairman and interim CEO, said: “Coty.Curated is about clarity and focus, and a simpler operating model helps us deliver on that. It positions us to keep building behind our core brands and to support our teams as the business moves forward. I want to thank Caroline and Shimei for their leadership and their many years of contribution to Coty, and wish them every success for their future endeavors.” People and Purpose leadership transition Priya Srinivasan, Chief People and Purpose Officer, has decided to step down for personal reasons and will leave Coty in August. She led the global people function, including leadership development and engagement, and played an important role in advancing Coty’s talent agenda. Séverine Charbon will join Coty as Chief People and Purpose Officer effective September 1. She brings more than 25 years of international experience in talent strategy and organizational transformation, most recently as Chief Talent Officer International at Publicis Groupe. Strobel added: “Priya has been a thoughtful and trusted leader, and a real champion of our people and culture. She has strengthened how we develop talent, deepened employee engagement, and helped make Coty a place where people can do their best work. We are grateful for everything she has given to Coty and wish her the very best in the future. We now look forward to Séverine joining Coty at this important time and continuing to build on the strong foundations in place.” ABOUT COTY INC.

Coty Launches Marc Jacobs Beauty: One of the Most-Requested Luxury ComebacksMay 20, 2026 7:29 AM
Business Wire Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) today announced the launch of Marc Jacobs Beauty, the color cosmetics collection long anticipated by the brand’s loyal following. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260520340714/en/Marc Jacobs Beauty The collection is built around “Joyride Sensoriality”, Marc Jacobs Beauty’s concept of an immersive, pleasurable experience that engages the senses, because makeup should feel as good as it looks. Consumers will discover unexpected textures, tactile finishes, and formulas designed to be played with. Few designers have shaped culture like Marc Jacobs. The original industry outsider turned icon, he has spent decades defining what is next - in fashion, in beauty, and in the conversation itself. Brought to life in partnership with Coty, a global leader in prestige beauty, Marc Jacobs Beauty channels a fearless, unapologetic point of view into makeup: bold, radically inclusive, and unmistakably Marc Jacobs. Jean Holtzmann, Coty Chief Brands Officer Prestige, said: “Marc Jacobs Beauty has been years in the making, and we could not be more proud to bring it to life. This launch is a joyful, maximalist celebration of color and creativity. It is exactly the kind of bold innovation that defines Coty Prestige, and we believe it will be one of the defining launches of 2026.” Marc Jacobs added: “We have had a long and successful partnership, working with Coty on fragrance and we are excited to do the same with beauty. I am not interested in one right way to look; beauty, like fashion, has always been a form of self-expression rooted in experimentation, play, and reimagining the familiar in new ways.” Priya Venkatesh, Global Chief Merchandising Officer for Sephora, commented: “Marc Jacobs Beauty is one of the most anticipated relaunches in prestige beauty, and Sephora is proud to partner in bringing it back to consumers around the world. At the intersection of fashion, creativity, and pop culture, the brand is uniquely positioned to resonate with Sephora’s deeply engaged beauty community across both loyal fans and a new generation of beauty consumers. Together with Coty, we look forward to reigniting excitement for Marc Jacobs Beauty, driving discovery at scale, and supporting the brand’s next chapter of long-term global growth.” Marc Jacobs Beauty launches with a curated edit of color cosmetics spanning eyes, complexion, and lips, from the Drawn This Way Longwear Eyeliner and Born Star Eyeshadow to the Heart On Lipstick, Joystick Blush Stick, Flashes Mascara, Legally Bronze Bronzer, and Money Shot Highlighter Gel. Each formula delivers high-impact, long-wearing performance and is designed to be layered, blended, and worn from morning into night. The packaging, designed by Marc Jacobs himself, features the brand's iconic charm motifs — a daisy for complexion, a star for eyes, a heart for lips — now realized in oversized soft touch matte and metallic silhouettes that elevate everyday makeup into collectible objects. The collection is priced from $26 to $42 in the U.S. and £22 to £35 in the UK. The collection will launch on MarcJacobs.com on May 28, 2026, followed by a Sephora app exclusive on May 31, and availability on Sephora.com in the U.S. and Canada and Selfridges.com beginning June 1. Following this initial rollout, the collection will launch in travel retail in June at JFK International Airport and Palma de Mallorca Airport, before expanding to Sephora stores across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia starting September 1, 2026. About Coty Inc. Founded in Paris in 1904, Coty is one of the world’s largest beauty companies with a portfolio of iconic brands across fragrance, color cosmetics, and skin and body care. Coty serves consumers around the world, selling prestige and mass market products in over 120 countries and territories.

(NYSE: COTY) (Paris: COTY) (“Coty” or “the Company”) today announced its results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended March 31, 2026. Despite Middle East-related disruptions, Coty delivered Q3 profit ahead of expectations, supported by cost control and the reallocation of investments behind activations in Q4. “Q3 marked an important step toward restoring consistent performance commensurate with Coty's outstanding assets and capabilities,” said Markus Strobel, Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer. “While the Q3 results were below our potential on an absolute basis, we were pleased to deliver profitability ahead of our guidance despite the disruption in our Middle East business late in the quarter. This was a welcome first step, as we begin to gradually strengthen our operational control and execution. “We are methodically implementing the Coty.Curated strategic framework announced last quarter, centered on sharper priorities, more focused investments, improved execution, and increased support behind our core businesses. We are embedding this framework into our FY27 action plans for both divisions, including significantly reducing the number of smaller launches, lowering marketing asset production costs in part through broad-based AI deployment for our owned brands, while increasing consumer engagement spending, and working to simplify our operational model, all with the ultimate objective to grow our sell out and market share over time. “As we near the conclusion of our strategic planning and portfolio assessment, to be validated with our Board including our new independent directors, we expect to share more details in the coming quarters. At the same time, I remain confident in Coty's position as a leading fragrance player, underpinned by our multiple iconic brands, and targeted presence in other beauty categories, including cosmetics, skin care, and body care. We believe stronger, more focused execution across our portfolio will enable us to deliver consistent, profitable growth, advance our deleveraging agenda, and further strengthen our balance sheet. “While this will take time, I strongly believe that with sustained focus and discipline, Coty is well positioned to realize its full potential.” RESULTS AT A GLANCE Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Nine Months Ended March 31, 2026 (in millions, except per share data) Change YoY Change YoY COTY INC.

Regulatory News:
Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) (Paris: COTY) (“Coty” or “the Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has appointed five new independent directors as part of a comprehensive Board refreshment.

The new directors have held senior leadership roles at globally recognized companies including Shiseido, Procter & Gamble, Ferrari, Bulgari, Pandora, Campari Group, Starbucks, Walmart and Sephora. Collectively, they bring decades of leadership experience across prestige beauty, luxury and global consumer brands, with deep expertise in fragrances and color cosmetics, global brand building, digital commerce, financial leadership and large-scale business transformation.
“This Board refreshment marks a defining step in Coty’s strategic evolution,” said Markus Strobel, Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to welcome an exceptional group of leaders whose experience spans some of the world’s most respected beauty, luxury and consumer companies. At a time when both the beauty market and Coty are rapidly transforming, these directors bring valuable new perspectives alongside proven expertise in prestige fragrance, global brand building, portfolio transformation and financial discipline. Together with our existing Board, they will further sharpen our strategic focus, strengthen execution and drive sustainable value for our shareholders.”
Current directors Markus Strobel, Joachim Creus, Frank Engelen and Patricia Capel will remain on the Board. Following his appointment to serve as President of Consumer Beauty at Coty, Gordon von Bretten has decided to step down from its Board.
Beatrice Ballini, Isabelle Parize and Anna Adeola Makanju have resigned from the Board, effective immediately. Robert (Bob) Singer has resigned from the Board, effective June 30, 2026, and will continue to serve on the Audit and Finance Committee until his departure.
“I want to thank Bob, Beatrice, Isabelle, Anna, and Gordon for their service and contributions as Directors of the Board during a period of significant change for Coty,” added Strobel. “Their counsel and partnership have been valuable as we strengthened the Company’s financial position and advanced our strategic priorities.”

Calvin Klein Fragrances announces ROSALÍA as the face of new euphoria elixirsFebruary 19, 2026 8:31 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Campaign fronted by the global superstar and brand ambassador explores the distinct universes of the three new parfumsNEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Calvin Klein, Inc., part of PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], and Calvin Klein Fragrances, a division of Coty Inc. [NYSE: COTY], today unveil GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter ROSALÍA as the face of euphoria elixirs, a new collection of three distinct parfum intense creations.
A daring new chapter of the iconic euphoria franchise, euphoria elixirs are a sensorial exploration of confidence, pleasure and sensuality. Embodied by global icon and Calvin Klein ambassador ROSALÍA, the campaign fuses movement and vivid color into a captivating exploration of freedom without limits. Known for her genre-defying sound and commanding visual artistry, ROSALÍA channels the fragrances' modern femininity into an immersive journey that reflects the energy and individuality of the three distinctive scents."The euphoria elixirs are full of energy, possibility of expression and versatility!" said ROSALÍA. "Each of the three scents represents its own mood, but the vanilla notes (which I love) run through all of them, giving a warm and familiar feeling on the skin. This reunion with Calvin Klein has been a dream - I love working with teams that are as inspiring and hardworking as them!"euphoria elixirs introduce premium, ultra-concentrations that celebrate the versatility of their key ingredient, vanilla – soft yet strong, sweet yet seductive. Richly layered and modern in spirit, the assortment takes shape through three vibrant, emotive interpretations: magnetic elixir, bold elixir and solar elixir.The euphoria elixir collection:
Expressive. Radiant. Confident.This collection explores vanilla—the fruit of the orchid, euphoria's signature flower—through its full evolution from its fresh, green beginnings (solar elixir) to its vibrant ripeness (magnetic elixir), and finally to its sun-kissed, dried, and toasted warmth (bold elixir). Each scent pairs a distinct vanilla facet with a complementary note to define a clear mood: solar elixir fuses vanilla with mango for a bright, luminously joyful energy; magnetic elixir layers vanilla with musk for a soft, intimately romantic warmth; and bold elixir contrasts vanilla with oakwood for a deeper, more intense impression.Co-created with master perfumers from some of the world's most esteemed fragrance houses, all three scents are parfum intense with 28% or more ultra-concentration – the highest fragrance concentration for Calvin Klein Fragrances.magnetic elixir (musky vanilla)
magnetic elixir captures the irresistible pull of effortless confidence and sensuality. Anchored by Dancing Lady Orchid, ambrette absolute and an indulgent musky vanilla blend, this rich, sweet fragrance has a seductive charm and lingers like a warm touch.
Perfumer: Caroline Dumur
Fragrance House: IFFbold elixir (oakwood vanilla)
bold elixir is sensual, woody and addictive, channeling the intensity and rich depth of toasted vanilla. This warmth is contrasted by the unexpected presence of smoky orchid, rich oakwood and jasmine absolute. The result is a daring scent, exuding unapologetic confidence.
Perfumers: Carlos Benaim, Domitille Michalon, Caroline Dumur
Fragrance House: IFFsolar elixir (mango vanilla)
solar elixir is a radiant expression of joy – pure, luminous and full of life. Inspired by the blooming vanilla flower in its rare green and fruity stage, the fragrance is brightened by the warm glow of Golden Orchid and juicy mango. This elixir radiates with vibrant energy, evoking the sensation of skin warmed by the sun.
Perfumer: Nicolas Bonneville
Fragrance House: dsm-firmenichThe Packaging:
The original euphoria bottle remains a timeless, sculptural icon. For the new elixirs, this classic design has been reinvented through color – vivid hues of magnetic pink, bold purple and solar yellow reflect youthful energy and individuality. The signature cap has also been infused with monochromatic color for a striking visual parallel to the intense juice.The Campaign:
Following her Calvin Klein underwear debut in September 2025, ROSALÍA now stars in the Calvin Klein Fragrances campaign for euphoria elixirs, shot by Carlijn Jacobs. Across the visuals, ROSALÍA amplifies the spirit of euphoria – feminine, sensual and confident – through her unique ability to evoke emotion through movement and performance. Set in a surreal, sensorial world, ROSALÍA embodies each elixir's distinct attitude across magnetic, bold and solar universes as unlimited possibilities of self-expression and freedom come to life.Calvin Klein euphoria elixirs will be available as of March 1st, 2026, for $129 (100ml), $99 (50ml), $79 (30ml) and $36 (10ml) at Macy's, Ulta and Amazon.About Calvin Klein

Coty Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 ResultsFebruary 5, 2026 4:30 PM
Business Wire
Q2 Performance Broadly in Line with Outlook
Cash Flow and Wella Divestiture Strengthen Balance Sheet; Debt and Leverage at Nine-Year Lows
New Leadership Initiating "Coty. Curated." Strategic Framework
Continuing Strategic Review of Consumer Beauty
Regulatory News:
Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) (Paris: COTY) ("Coty" or "the Company") today announced its results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended December 31, 2025. Coty delivered Q2 results broadly in line with expectations, while significantly reducing its net debt and leverage to the lowest level in close to a decade.
“I'm truly excited and energized to join Coty at this pivotal moment," said Markus Strobel, Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer.
"In my first month in the role, having visited our largest markets and key sites, it’s very clear to me that Coty has many top-notch assets and competitive advantages: highly attractive brands, best-in-class fragrance innovation capabilities, a vertically integrated business model, and a creative, entrepreneurial organization.
At the same time, our financial performance over the past year and a half has been disappointing, and our current share price reflects that reality. Both things are true: Coty has outstanding assets and capabilities, yet we have not been delivering at the level we should.
To step-change our performance and channel our strengths, we are initiating our "Coty. Curated." strategic framework, encompassing sharper priorities, more focused investments, improved execution, and increased support behind our core businesses. These actions are anchored in consumer demand and a relentless focus on sell-out and market share.
In parallel, we are continuing our portfolio review to identify opportunities to unlock shareholder value in both the near and long term, complemented by other value-driving opportunities, such as our recent divestiture of our remaining stake in Wella at the end of CY25, delivering on our commitment.
With greater focus and discipline, I believe Coty is well positioned to deliver consistent, profitable growth and realize its full potential."

Coty Unveils Growth Acceleration Strategy at Investor Update Event (4/23/21)
Accelerates Company’s luxury business across its leading fragrance portfolio, complemented by growing contributions from skincare and prestige cosmetics led by Gucci and Burberry
Repositions and rejuvenates globally-renowned beauty brands, including CoverGirl, Rimmel and Max Factor, with plans already demonstrating positive results
Unveils major new campaign for CoverGirl Simply Ageless – the number one anti-aging foundation in the U.S.
Reaffirms Company is on track to reach near term revenue, adjusted EBITDA and deleveraging targets
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY), one of the world’s leading beauty companies and the global leader in fragrance, today unveiled its long-term strategy, underpinned by six priorities for sustainable growth. These initiatives build on the actions taken by Coty over the past year that have accelerated its shift to sustainable and profitable growth, with greater cost controls and a more competitive market position.
In a presentation to investors, Coty Chief Executive Officer, Sue Y. Nabi, will be outlining how the business is already delivering enhanced performance against these strategic priorities:
Stabilization of Consumer Beauty make-up brands and Mass fragrances
Acceleration of luxury fragrances and establishing Coty as a key player in Prestige make-up
Building a Skincare portfolio across Prestige and Mass divisions
Enhancing e-commerce and Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) capabilities
Expanding in China through Prestige and select Consumer Beauty brands
Establishing Coty as an industry leader in sustainability
Sue Y. Nabi, CEO of Coty Inc., commented:
“Coty is ideally positioned to accelerate sales and profit through our six strategic priorities, that will reposition and expand our portfolio to meet the great opportunities ahead. We anticipate a rebound in demand for beauty products as pandemic restrictions ease, led by luxury beauty, clean beauty, China and skincare. Our performance will be supported by a purpose-led and highly focused portfolio: anchored in luxury with highly desirable brands and delivered through innovative omnichannel activations.” She added, “Across our business, we are harnessing sustainability as the ultimate driver of innovation – enabling our brands to capitalize on growing consumer demand for outstanding beauty products that are clean and green. We intend to use this strategy to build Coty into a truly global beauty powerhouse.”
STRENGTHENING CONSUMER BEAUTY AND MASS FRAGRANCES
Coty intends to strengthen the performance of its Consumer Beauty business by rejuvenating and repositioning several key brands, allowing it to capture new growth opportunities. This involves plans to bolster CoverGirl, Sally Hansen, Rimmel, Max Factor, and adidas through a focus on brand equity, key trends, clear consumer targets, in-store execution, product innovation, and ensuring that each brand has a distinctive purpose.
A FRESH APPROACH FOR COVERGIRL
Coty expects to strengthen CoverGirl’s appeal to a broader U.S. consumer base. The objective will be to build on the brand’s heritage of pioneering key beauty trends – including clean makeup and makeup/skincare hybrid products – supported by new launches and innovative marketing. CoverGirl, which this year celebrates its 60th anniversary, is already benefiting from this repositioning and is delivering improved sales.
To support this strategy, Coty will be unveiling a major new marketing campaign for CoverGirl ‘Simply Ageless’: the number one anti-aging foundation in the U.S. Targeting the growing demand for skincare-powered make-up, the campaign sees the return of Niki Taylor, who was a CoverGirl Ambassador in the 1990s.
The new campaign will begin to air next week in the U.S. and demonstrates CoverGirl’s healthy fresh take on traditional beauty advertising – with the content based on images and footage taken by Niki herself in her family home.
BUILDING A COMPREHENSIVE SKINCARE PORTFOLIO
Coty intends to build its skincare portfolio across Mass and Prestige: capitalizing on key trends like regenerative medicine and creating products that are truly green, clean and sustainable. Coty currently has three skincare brands, with a fourth brand, SKKN by Kim, launching in Fiscal Year 2022. Each brand occupies distinct positioning, price tiers, and geographic strengths. Coty now sees an opportunity to extend several of its designer brands and consumer beauty brands into the skincare portfolio.
Within its existing skincare portfolio, Coty is repositioning its brands for greater success. Lancaster, which has a rich history related to innovative skincare technology and protection, including unique IP, intends to transform from a regional UV protection brand to a leader in skincare enhancement and renewal. Philosophy – which produces Purity, the number one facial cleanser product in the U.S. – is expected to move from being a U.S.-centric wellbeing beauty brand to a leader in green, clean ‘ceutical’ skincare.
ACCELERATING GROWTH IN PRESTIGE AND CHINA
Coty intends to enhance the performance of its luxury business, by accelerating its core Prestige fragrance business and capturing new opportunities in Prestige cosmetics and skincare. By Fiscal Year 2025, Coty is targeting: skincare to increase from approximately 6% to over 10% of the revenue mix; Prestige cosmetics to increase from approximately 3% to a high-single digit percent of the revenue mix; and, lastly, China’s contribution to triple to over 10% of the revenue mix. With Prestige fragrances, Prestige cosmetics, skincare and China operations delivering above-corporate margins, this targeted portfolio mix is expected to drive profitability and margin expansion.
Coty maintains a leading position in luxury fragrances, with three of the top 10 female fragrances brands and two of the top 10 male fragrances of 2020 within its portfolio. Coty expects to bring more iconic female fragrances to market and expand its presence in artisanal fragrances. The Company will also confirm that it has no major Luxury licenses expiring based on their terms over the next five years. Additionally, many of Coty’s licensing agreements with luxury brands enable the potential for extension into additional beauty categories, such as cosmetics and skincare.
Coty demonstrated the growth opportunity of Prestige through the success of Gucci Beauty. In the last nine months, Gucci cosmetics sell-out grew over 110% in the U.S. and by over 50% in Asia Pacific, while Gucci foundation sold more than 60,000 units in two months. Gucci Beauty has also seen outstanding success since opening the brand’s Tmall flagship, making it one of Tmall’s top four luxury beauty brand openings since 2018. Coty also noted the significant growth opportunity for leading artisanal fragrance brands in China, including Chloe, Tiffany & Co., and Bottega Veneta.
The performance of its brands in China and its growing footprint in emerging Travel Retail destinations (like Hainan) reinforce Coty’s confidence in its ability to capture market share and growth in the region. Coty also expects a rebound in the Travel Retail sector after a challenging 12 months, with indicators suggesting strong pent-up demand for international travel.
E-COMMERCE FUELING LUXURY AND MASS GROWTH
Coty plans to accelerate its e-commerce and Direct To Consumer (DTC) growth, through a transformed approach to its digital strategy. In 2Q21, the Company recorded 40% e-commerce sales growth driven by its Prestige and Mass businesses. Coty’s newly integrated digital approach is designed to build on this momentum and harness industry-leading innovations, including social listening and social commerce.
BECOMING AN INDUSTRY LEADER IN SUSTAINABILITY
Coty aims to create a more sustainable and inclusive world through its ‘Beauty That Lasts’ platform. The ‘Beauty That Lasts’ strategy is built on three key pillars: product, planet, and people. To integrate sustainability within its product development process, Coty has announced its ‘Beauty That Lasts’ Index, a measure that sees Coty’s R&D division integrate robust sustainability criteria into the packaging and formula development of every new product.
REAFFIRMED FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
Ahead of Coty’s 3Q21 earnings announcement on May 10, 2021, the Company is reaffirming its current financial guidance. Coty anticipates an adjusted EBITDA of approximately $750m for FY21, and remains on-track to end the financial year with net revenues of between $4.5bn to $4.6bn. The Company reaffirmed its target of driving leverage towards 5x exiting CY21.
Coty’s next quarterly earnings will be announced on May 10, 2021. For more detail, please visit Coty’s Investor Relations section of its website.
