Avon Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2018 Results
Simpler, Leaner and More Agile Going Forward
LONDON, Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Avon Products, Inc. (NYSE: AVP) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
Jan Zijderveld, Avon CEO, said, "We are in the initial stages of our turn-around plan with fourth-quarter results showing sequential improvement in revenue trends in 4 of our top 5 markets, as well as some early signs of progress against our core strategies. As we look over the course of 2018, we are seeing tangible signs of increased productivity by our Representatives, with sequential increases in Average Representative Sales, Net Price Per Unit and e-commerce. We have begun to identify repeatable business models in training and recruiting, while reducing our cost structure and taking steps to simplify our business infrastructure. Revenue growth management across our portfolio and positive momentum in premium products, bundles and regimens are driving improved price/mix."
Mr. Zijderveld continued, "As I wrap up my first year at Avon, we have a clear strategy to Open Up Avon and are taking the necessary steps to return this company to growth. We understand that the foundation of our success lies in the training and retention of our Representatives. Empowering women to build successful businesses and generate relevant earnings in countries around the world will, in turn, enable us to grow. This is a large task that involves the efforts of every employee and Representative. It will take time but introducing training programs that empower women to become trusted advisors to their customers and sell higher value products, bundles and regimens help to improve Her earnings, and thereby Her success."
Jamie Wilson, Avon CFO, said, "We have taken significant steps in our strategy of building a simpler, leaner and more agile organization, including the announced sale of our China manufacturing facility and our strategic manufacturing and supply agreements with LG. We also recently announced our intention to reduce our global workforce by an additional 10% in 2019, on top of our already completed 8% reduction in 2018. These recent announcements include a goal to reduce our overall SKUs by 25%, an $88 million inventory write-off recorded in the fourth quarter, along with a restructuring charge of approximately $100 million that will be recorded in 2019. During the fourth quarter, we realized approximately $20 million in savings against our Open Up Avon initiative outlined at our Investor Day in the Fall. In the fourth quarter, we repaid an additional $50 million of debt which brought our total fiscal 2018 debt reduction to approximately $300 million. In addition, we announced today that we entered into a new 3-year, €200 million senior secured credit facility, our first Euro-denominated facility, which enhances our financial flexibility and begins to more closely align our capital structure to our operations."

- Foreign currency unfavorably impacted Diluted Earnings Per Share by an estimated $0.04 per share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share by an estimated $0.05 per share, driven by the strength of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of the countries in which the Company operates

New Revenue Recognition Standard (Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC" 606))
As previously disclosed, during the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted the new GAAP revenue recognition standard, ASC 606. The Company adopted the standard as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018, therefore, comparative information for prior periods was not restated. The new standard has a significant impact on the presentation of sales incentives and Representative fees and associated costs, primarily for brochures.
The impact of the change in accounting for revenue recognition on fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 performance is summarized on pages 18-20 of this release.

- Active Representatives declined 6% with decreases reported in South Latin America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific.
- Ending Representatives declined 8% with decreases reported in all segments.

- Operating margin was (3.5)%. Like-for-like Operating margin was 5.7% in the quarter, down 420 basis points, driven by lower gross margin, investments in Representative, sales leader and field expense, primarily in Brazil to recover activity levels disrupted by the national transportation strike in the second quarter of 2018, investments in advertising, higher transportation costs, primarily increased fuel prices, and revenue deleverage and unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by lower bad debt, primarily in Brazil due to improved credit control and collections processes.
- Diluted Loss per Share was $0.19. Like-for-like Diluted Earnings per Share was $0.07, compared with $0.12 for fourth-quarter 2017.
Adjustments to Fourth-Quarter 2018 GAAP Results to Arrive at Adjusted Results

Full-Year 2018 Cash Flow Review (compared with full-year 2017)
- Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $93 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, compared with $271 million in the same period in 2017. The approximate $178 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was primarily due to lower cash-related earnings and higher inventory purchases, partially offset by the judicial deposit receipt of approximately $68 million related to Brazil IPI taxes and lower net receivables.
- Net cash used by investing activities of continuing operations was $93 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, compared with $70 million in the same period in 2017. The approximate $23 million increased use of net cash from continuing investing activities was primarily due to a $22 million cash distribution received from New Avon LLC in the third quarter of 2017.
- Net cash used by financing activities of continuing operations was $307 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations of $0 million in the same period in 2017. The approximate $307 million increased use of net cash from continuing financing activities was primarily due to prepayment of a portion of the Company's debt in the second quarter of 2018, as well as open market debt repurchases in the fourth quarter of 2018 of $23 million of the 4.60% notes and $27 million of the 5.00% notes.
Subsequent Event
On Tuesday, February 12, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new €200 million three-year senior secured revolving credit facility. The new facility replaces the previous $400 million secured revolving credit facility.
Key features of the new facility include the following:
- Available for general corporate and working capital purposes,
- Allows for increased ability to issue 1st lien debt,
- Contains financial maintenance covenants, but with less restrictive definitions, and with certain other modifications, from the previous facility,
- Guaranteed in full by the Company and by certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries, and
- Secured by certain assets including substantially all U.S. and U.K. assets and capital stock of certain subsidiaries

(1) We adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits effective January 1, 2018. The new accounting guidance was applied retrospectively and net pension expense (other than service cost) of $1.5 and $8.0 was reclassified from SG&A to Other expense, net for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 respectively. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) Under the two-class method, earnings (loss) per share is calculated using net gain allocable to common shares, which is derived by reducing net income (loss) by the income (loss) allocable to participating securities and earnings allocated to convertible preferred stock. Net (loss) income allocable to common shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation was ($82.9) and $75.4 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net loss allocable to common shares used in the basic and diluted loss per share calculation was ($43.6) and ($1.4) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE
(Unaudited)
(In millions)
The Company adopted ASC 606, as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, as of January 1, 2018. Comparative information for prior periods has not been restated. Therefore, this supplemental schedule provides balances without the adoption of ASC 606 to enhance comparability to the prior year. The Company applied the transition guidance to all outstanding contracts at January 1, 2018.
The Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment upon adoption of the new revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018 comprised of the following:
- a reduction to retained earnings of $52.7 before taxes ($41.1 after tax), with a corresponding impact to deferred income taxes of $11.6;
- a reduction to prepaid expenses and other of $54.9;
- an increase to inventories of $39.3; and
- an increase to other accrued liabilities of $37.1 due to the net impact of the establishment of a contract liability of $91.8 for deferred revenue where the Company's performance obligations are not yet satisfied, which is partially offset by a reduction in the sales incentive accrual of $54.7.
The impact of the change in accounting standard on fourth-quarter 2018 performance is:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: revenue, Adjusted revenue, operating profit, Adjusted operating profit, operating margin, Adjusted operating margin and diluted earnings (loss) per share. "Like-for-like" refers to Adjusted figures that exclude the impact of the adoption of ASC 606. The Company also refers to these adjusted financial measures as constant dollar items, which are Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends and underlying business results. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, the Company calculates current-year results and prior-year results at constant exchange rates, which are updated on an annual basis as part of the Company's budgeting process. Foreign currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant-dollar growth rates.
The Company also presents revenue, cost of sales, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, operating profit, operating margin, income (loss) before taxes, income taxes, net income (loss), diluted earnings (loss) per share and effective tax rate on a Non-GAAP basis. The Company refers to these Non-GAAP financial measures as "Adjusted." The Company has provided quantitative reconciliations of the Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. See "Supplemental Schedule - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" within this release for these quantitative reconciliations.
The Company uses Non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operating performance. These Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes investors find the Non-GAAP information helpful in understanding the ongoing performance of operations separate from items that may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company's financial results in any particular period. The Company believes that it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of the impacts of: 1) CTI restructuring initiatives; 2) the Brazil IPI tax release; 3) a charge for a loss contingency related to a non-US pension plan ("Loss contingency") and 4) one-time tax items that are not associated with recurring, normal operations ("Special tax items").
The Brazil IPI tax release includes the impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the third quarter of 2018 of the release of the liability related to IPI tax on cosmetics in Brazil. The release was recorded in net sales and other expense, net in the amounts of approximately $168 million and approximately $27 million, respectively. The Brazil IPI tax release also includes approximately $66 million recorded in income taxes.
The Loss contingency includes the impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the second quarter of 2017 caused by a charge of approximately $18 million for a loss contingency related to a non-US pension plan, for which an amendment to the plan that occurred in a prior year many not have been appropriately implemented.
The Special tax items include the impact on the provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2018 due to one-time tax reserves of approximately $18 million associated with the Company's uncertain tax positions, and an expense of approximately $3 million associated with the internal restructuring of intellectual property. Special tax items also include the impact on the provision for income taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2017 due to an approximate $30 million net benefit recognized as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the U.S., a release of valuation allowances of approximately $26 million associated with a number of markets in Europe, Middle East & Africa, and an approximate $10 million benefit as a result of a favorable court decision in Brazil, partially offset by a charge of approximately $16 million associated with valuation allowances to adjust deferred tax assets in Mexico.
