Comments: Pre-COVID-19, post-COVID-19, it really doesn’t matter at Revlon, where sales continue to fall. In 2019, revenue dropped nearly 6%, with only Elizabeth Arden (EA) posting an increase, up 6.1% to $520 million, helped by higher demand for Ceramide and Prevage skin care products and certain EA fragrances but, other than that, it was all bad news for Revlon’s portfolio of cosmetics, skin care and fragrances. Sales of Revlon fell 4% to $959 million, due to lower sales of ColorSilk hair color, the eponymous color cosmetics and beauty tools. The catch-all portfolio portion of the business dropped 13.6% to $488 million due to declining sales of CND nail products; Almay, Pure Ice and SinfulColors color cosmetics, and Mitchum antiperspirants. There were a couple of bright spots as sales rose for American Crew hair care and Cutex nail products. Fragrance sales declined 11.4% to $453 million, which Revlon blamed on the weak retail environment.
There was some good news, however, as operating income rose due to improved efficiencies and the conclusion of the company’s 2018 Optimization Program which delivered $95 million in cost reductions. E-commerce sales rose 49% and accounted for more than 9% of sales last year and finally, sales in China surged 70%, helped by the online relaunch of Revlon color cosmetics.
