Total third quarter 2016 revenue for Avon Products, Inc. declined 2% to $1.4 billion, but increased 4% in constant dollars. CEO Sheri McCoy said the company’s turnaround plans are working.
“Avon’s third-quarter results reflect broad-based performance improvements resulting in local currency sales growth across our top markets and significant operating margin expansion versus the prior year,” said McCoy. “We have also taken actions to significantly improve our balance sheet and have accelerated the pace of our 2016 cost savings initiatives. I am pleased with our progress against the Transformation Plan as we continue to position Avon to deliver sustained long-term profitable growth.”
Active representatives were relatively unchanged year-over-year, as increases in South Latin America and Europe, Middle East & Africa were offset by declines in Asia Pacific.
Average orders increased 4% due to growth in all reportable segments, the firm said.
