Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. We have included our Management Report over Internal Control over Financial Reporting in “Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules” and is incorporated in this Item 9A by reference. 59 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the fourth fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our CEO and CFO, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. PART III Item 10.

Coty’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Coty’s management evaluated the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022 based on the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the evaluation, management has concluded that Coty maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022. The Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report which appears herein. /s/Sue Nabi /s/Laurent Mercier Sue Nabi Laurent Mercier Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer August 25, 2022 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Coty Inc. Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Coty Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements, and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, of the Company and our report dated August 25, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP New York, New York August 25, 2022 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Coty Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coty Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 25, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net – Max Factor Trademark Valuation – Refer to Notes 2 and 12 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company has trademarks that are indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company’s evaluation of the trademarks for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each trademark to its’ carrying value. Management estimates the fair value of these trademarks annually on its elected assessment date of May 1, or more frequently if certain events occur, based upon the income approach, using the relief from royalty methodology, which is a specific discounted cash flow method. The determination of the fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to the trademarks’ estimated cash flows, royalty, and discount rates, especially those related to the Max Factor trademark. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the Max Factor trademark, the amount of any impairment charge, or both. As of June 30, 2022, the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets was $936.6 million, of which $148.4 million related to the Max Factor trademark. During fiscal 2022, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $21.3 million related to the Max Factor trademark, as its fair value was lower than its carrying value. Given the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate the fair value and the difference between the fair value and carrying value for the Max Factor trademark, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of such estimates and assumptions, particularly the estimated cash flows, and the selection of the royalty and discount rate, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the estimated cash flows, the selection of the royalty and discount rate for the Max Factor trademark included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over indefinite-lived intangible assets, including those over the estimated cash flows for the Max Factor trademark and the selection of the respective royalty and discount rate. • We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast by comparing actual results in previous years to management’s historical forecasts and by comparing the May and June 2022 forecasts with actual results for those months. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s estimated cash flows for the Max Factor trademark, by comparing management’s forecasts with: ◦ Historical cash flows and trends; ◦ Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors; and ◦ Forecasted information included in analyst and industry reports of the Company and selected companies in its peer group. • We considered the impact of industry and market conditions on management’s forecasts for the Max Factor trademark, including consideration of the effects related to the current macro-economic environment and the Company’s decision to exit the Russian market. • We evaluated the impact of changes in management’s forecasts from the May 1, 2022 annual measurement date to June 30, 2022. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the valuation approach and royalty and discount rate for the Max Factor trademark, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the respective royalty and discount rate selected by management. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP New York, New York August 25, 2022 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1995.

F-8 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Coty Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Coty”) manufacture, market, sell and distribute branded beauty products, including fragrances, color cosmetics and skin & body related products throughout the world. Coty is a global beauty company with a rich entrepreneurial history and an iconic portfolio of brands. The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with a year-end of June 30. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word “fiscal” refers to the fiscal year ended June 30 of that year. For example, references to “fiscal 2022” refer to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the term “includes” and “including” means, unless the context otherwise indicates, including without limitation. The Company’s sales generally increase during the second fiscal quarter as a result of increased demand associated with the winter holiday season. Financial performance, working capital requirements, sales, cash flows and borrowings generally experience variability during the three to six months preceding the holiday season. Product innovations, new product launches and the size and timing of orders from the Company’s customers may also result in variability. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") finalized the Company's organizational structure and how performance will be assessed, and the Company realigned its reportable segments to a principally product category-based structure, comprised of a Prestige business segment and a Consumer Beauty business segment. See Note 5—Segment Reporting for information on the Company's segments. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company also consolidates majority-owned entities in the United States of America, United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and South Korea where the Company has the ability to exercise control. Ownership interests of noncontrolling parties are presented as mandatorily redeemable financial interests, noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests, as applicable. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, the net realizable value of inventory, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the fair value of equity investments, the assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, and income taxes. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents funds that are not readily available for general purpose cash needs due to contractual limitations. Restricted cash is classified as a current or long-term asset based on the timing and nature of when or how the cash is expected to be used or when the restrictions are expected to lapse. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had restricted cash of $ 30.5 and $ 56.9 , respectively, included in Restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The restricted cash balances as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily provide collateral for certain bank guarantees on rent, customs and duty accounts and also consists of collections on factored receivables that remain unremitted to the factor as of June 30, 2022 and 2021. Restricted cash is included as a component of Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. F-9 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Trade Receivables Trade receivables are stated net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and cash discounts, which is based on the evaluation of the accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, and historical trends. We make estimates of expected credit and collectibility trends for the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our assessment of historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. Trade receivables are written off on a case-by-case basis, net of any amounts that may be collected. Inventories Inventories include items which are considered salable or usable in future periods, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being based on standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Costs include direct materials, direct labor and overhead (e.g., indirect labor, rent and utilities, depreciation, purchasing, receiving, inspection and quality control) and in-bound freight costs. The Company classifies inventories into various categories based upon their stage in the product life cycle, future marketing sales plans and the disposition process. The Company also records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents the excess of the cost of the inventory over its net realizable value, based on various product sales projections. This reserve is calculated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, and requirements to support forecasted sales. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events. Equity Investments The Company elected the fair value option to account for its investment in Rainbow JVCO LTD and subsidiaries (together, "Wella" or the “Wella Company”) to align with the Company’s strategy for this investment. The fair value is updated on a quarterly basis. The investments are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the fair value of the investments using a combination of the income approach, the market approach and private transactions, when applicable. Changes in the fair value of equity investments under the fair value option are recorded in Other (income) expense, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 13—Equity Investments). Property and Equipment and Other Long-lived Assets Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. The cost of renewals and betterments is capitalized and depreciated. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment that is disposed of through sale, trade-in, donation, or scrapping is written off, and any gain or loss on the transaction, net of costs to dispose, is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Description Estimated Useful Lives Buildings 20 - 40 years Marketing furniture and fixtures 3 - 5 years Machinery and equipment 2 - 15 years Computer equipment and software 2 - 5 years Property and equipment under finance leases and leasehold improvements Lesser of lease term or economic life Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Description Estimated Useful Lives License agreements 2 - 34 years Customer relationships 2 - 28 years Trademarks 2 - 30 years Product formulations and technology 2 - 28 years Long-lived assets, including tangible and intangible assets with finite lives, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, a recoverability test is performed comparing projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment charge would be recorded for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. The Company estimates fair value based on the best information available, including discounted cash flows and/or the use of third-party valuations. F-10 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the fair value of their underlying net assets. Goodwill is allocated and evaluated at the reporting unit level, which are the Company’s operating segments. The Company allocates goodwill to one or more reporting units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the business combination. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually as of May 1 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as the basis to determine if it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. In performing its qualitative assessment, the Company considers the extent to which unfavorable events or circumstances identified, such as changes in economic conditions, industry and market conditions or company specific events, could affect the comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. Quantitative impairment testing for goodwill is based upon the fair value of a reporting unit as compared to its carrying value. The Company makes certain judgments and assumptions in allocating assets and liabilities to determine carrying values for its reporting units. To determine fair value of the reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of the income and market approaches, when applicable. Under the income approach, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow method, projecting future cash flows of each reporting unit, as well as a terminal value, and discounting such cash flows at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows. Under the market approach, when applicable, information from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting units is utilized to create valuation multiples that are applied to the operating performance of the reporting units being tested, to value the reporting unit. The impairment loss recognized would be the difference between a reporting unit’s carrying value and fair value in an amount not to exceed the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Indefinite-lived other intangible assets principally consist of trademarks. The fair values of indefinite-lived other intangible assets are estimated and compared to their respective carrying values. The trademarks’ fair values are based upon the income approach, utilizing the relief from royalty or excess earnings methodology. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying value. Leases All of the Company’s material leases are operating leases. These are primarily for real estate properties, including corporate offices, retail stores and facilities to support the Company's manufacturing, research and development and distribution operations. For any new or modified lease, the Company, at the inception of the contract, determines whether a contract is or contains a lease. The Company records right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease obligations for its operating leases, which are initially recognized based on the discounted future lease payments over the term of the lease. Variable lease payments are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. As the rate implicit in the Company's leases is not easily determinable, the Company’s applicable incremental borrowing rate is used in calculating the present value of the sum of the lease payments. Lease term is defined as the non-cancelable period of the lease plus any options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU asset and lease obligations for its short-term leases, which are defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , as amended, was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2019, utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allows a lessee to carry forward its population of existing leases, the classification of each lease, as well as the treatment of initial direct costs as of the period of adoption. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient related to lease and non-lease components, as an accounting policy election for all asset classes, which allows a lessee to not separate non-lease from lease components and instead account for consideration paid in a contract as a single lease component. Lastly, the Company did not elect the practical expedient related to hindsight analysis which allows a lessee to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment. Deferred Financing Fees The Company capitalizes costs related to the issuance of debt instruments, as applicable. Such costs are amortized over the contractual term of the related debt instrument in Interest expense, net using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. F-11 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Interests held by third parties in consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries are presented as noncontrolling interests, which represents the noncontrolling stockholders’ interests in the underlying net assets of the Company’s consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests that are not redeemable are reported in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling interests, where the Company may be required to repurchase the noncontrolling interest under a put option or other contractual redemption requirement, are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets between liabilities and equity, as redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company adjusts the redeemable noncontrolling interests to the higher of the redemption value or the carrying value (the acquisition date fair value adjusted for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income (loss) and dividends) on each balance sheet date with changes recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized at a point in time and/or over time when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which usually occurs upon delivery. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company’s revenue contracts principally represent a performance obligation to sell its beauty products to trade customers and are satisfied when control of promised goods and services is transferred to the customers. Net revenues comprise gross revenues less customer discounts and allowances, actual and expected returns (estimated based on an analysis of historical experience and position in product life cycle) and various trade spending activities. Trade spending activities represent variable consideration promised to the customer and primarily relate to advertising, product promotions and demonstrations, some of which involve cooperative relationships with customers. The costs of trade spend activities are estimated considering all reasonably available information, including contract terms with the customer, the Company’s historical experience and its current expectations of the scope of the activities, and is reflected in the transaction price when sales are recorded. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of its customers and the products offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. The Company’s sales return accrual reflects seasonal fluctuations, including those related to revenues for the holiday season in the first half of the fiscal year. This accrual is a subjective critical estimate that has a direct impact on reported net revenues, and is calculated based on history of actual returns, estimated future returns and information provided by retailers regarding their inventory levels. In addition, as necessary, specific accruals may be established for significant future known or anticipated events. The types of known or anticipated events that the Company has considered, and will continue to consider, include the financial condition of the Company’s customers, store closings by retailers, changes in the retail environment, and the Company’s decision to continue to support new and existing brands. Returns represented 2 %, 2 % and 3 % of gross revenue after customer discounts and allowances in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Trade spending activities recorded as a reduction to gross revenue after customer discounts and allowances represented 10 %, 10 %, and 11 % in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company accounts for certain customer store fixtures as other assets. Such fixtures are amortized using the straight-line method over the period of 3 to 5 years as a reduction of revenue. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes all of the costs to manufacture the Company’s products. For products manufactured in the Company’s own facilities, such costs include raw materials and supplies, direct labor and factory overhead. For products manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such costs represent the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Cost of sales also includes royalty expense associated with license agreements. Additionally, shipping costs, freight-in and depreciation and amortization expenses related to manufacturing equipment and facilities are included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. F-12 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotional costs and research and development costs. Also included in Selling, general and administrative expenses are share-based compensation, certain warehousing fees, manufacturing fixed costs, personnel and related expenses, rent on operating leases, and professional fees. Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $ 1,465.1 , $ 1,029.4 and $ 1,343.7 in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in advertising and promotional costs are $ 119.4 , $ 130.3 , and $ 127.9 of depreciation of marketing furniture and fixtures, such as product displays, in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $ 97.3 , $ 96.5 and $ 93.4 in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Share-Based Compensation Common Stock Common shares are available to be awarded for the exercise of phantom units, vested stock options, the settlement of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and the conversion of Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Share-based compensation expense is measured and fixed at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee’s requisite service period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the assumptions discussed in Note 24—Share-Based Compensation Plans. The fair value of RSUs is determined on the date of grant based on the Company’s stock price. Treasury Stock The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method. When shares are reissued or retired from treasury stock they are accounted for at an average price. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price higher than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of Additional paid-in-capital in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference is recorded as a reduction of Additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are treasury stock gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in Additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a reduction of Retained earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Therefore, income tax expense is based on reported (Loss) income before income taxes, and deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the carrying amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on currently available evidence. The Company considers how to recognize, measure, present and disclose in financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company is subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions. The Company regularly assesses the likely outcomes of such audits in order to determine the appropriateness of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”). The Company classifies interest and penalties related to UTBs as a component of the provision for income taxes. For UTBs, the Company first determines whether it is more-likely-than-not (defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more-likely-than-not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority. As the determination of liabilities related to UTBs and associated interest and penalties requires significant estimates to be made by the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and thus the eventual outcomes could have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or financial condition and cash flows. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act changing the U.S. to a modified territorial tax system, the Company no longer asserts that any of its undistributed foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. The Company does not expect to incur significant withholding or state taxes on future distributions. To the extent there remains a basis difference between the financial reporting and tax basis of an investment in a foreign subsidiary after the repatriation of the previously taxed income, the Company is permanently reinvested. A determination of the unrecognized deferred taxes related to these components is not practicable. F-13 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The Tax Act requires a U.S. shareholder of a foreign corporation to include in income its global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). In general, GILTI is described as the excess of a U.S. shareholder’s total net foreign income over a deemed return on tangible assets. An entity may choose to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or an entity can elect to treat GILTI as a period cost and include it in the tax expense of the year it is incurred. As such, the Company has elected to treat the tax on GILTI as a tax expense in the year it is incurred rather than recognizing deferred taxes. Restructuring Costs Charges incurred in connection with plans to restructure and integrate acquired businesses or in connection with cost-reduction initiatives that are initiated from time to time are included in Restructuring costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations if such costs are directly associated with an exit or disposal activity, a reorganization, or with integrating an acquired business. These costs can include employee separations, contract and lease terminations, and other direct exit costs. Employee severance and other termination benefits are primarily determined based on established benefit arrangements, local statutory requirements or historical practices. The Company recognizes these benefits when payment is probable and estimable. Additional elements of severance and termination benefits associated with non-recurring benefits are recognized ratably over each employee’s required future service period. Costs for real estate consolidation are recognized based on the type of cost, and the expected future use of the facility. For locations where the Company does not expect to sub-lease the property, the amortization of any right-of-use asset is accelerated from the decision date to the cease use date. For locations where the Company expects to sub-lease the properties subsequent to its vacating the property, the right-of-use asset is reviewed for potential impairment at the earlier of the cease use date or the date a sub-lease is signed. To determine the amount of impairment, the fair value of the right-of-use asset is determined based on the present value of the estimated net cash flows related to the property. Contractual costs outside of the right-of-use asset are recognized based on the net present value of expected future cash outflows for which the Company will not receive any benefit. Such amounts are reliant on estimates of future sub-lease income to be received and future contractual costs to be incurred. Other business realignment costs represent the incremental cost directly related to the restructuring activities which can include accelerated depreciation, professional or consulting fees and other internal costs including compensation related costs for dedicated internal resources. Other business realignment costs are generally recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Charges for accelerated depreciation are recognized on long-lived assets that will be taken out of service before the end of their normal service life, in which case depreciation estimates are revised to reflect the use of the asset over its shortened useful life. All other costs are recognized as incurred. Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires that purchase price, including the fair value of contingent consideration, of the acquisition be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date. The Company remeasures the fair value of contingent consideration at each reporting period using a probability-adjusted discounted cash flow method based on significant inputs not observable in the market and any change in the fair value from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date, is recorded in earnings. Contingent consideration payments that exceed the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration are reflected as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Payments made for contingent consideration recorded as part of an acquisition’s purchase price are reflected as financing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, if paid more than three months after the acquisition date. If paid within three months of the acquisition date, these payments are reflected as investing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company generally uses the following methodologies for valuing the Company’s significant acquired intangibles assets: • Trademarks (indefinite or finite) - The Company uses a relief from royalty method to value trademarks. The key assumptions for the model are forecasted net revenue, the royalty rate, the effective tax rate and the discount rate. • Customer relationships and license agreements - The Company uses an excess earnings method to value customer relationships and license agreements. The key assumptions for the model are forecasted net revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), the estimated allocation of earnings between different classes of assets, the attrition rate, the effective tax rate and the discount rate. F-14 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Fair Value Measurements The following fair value hierarchy is used in selecting inputs for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The Company evaluates these inputs and recognizes transfers between levels, if any, at the end of each reporting period. The hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 - Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Valuation based on inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly; Level 3 - Valuation based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and supported by little or no observable market activity. Apart from Coty’s equity investment in Wella (see Note 13—Equity Investments), the Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any financial instruments or other assets not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities All derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"), the change in fair value of the derivative is initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged exposure impacts earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, gains (losses) from changes in fair values are recognized in Net income (loss). The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign Currency Exchange gains or losses incurred on non-financing foreign exchange currency transactions conducted by one of the Company’s operations in a currency other than the operation’s functional currency are reflected in Cost of sales or operating expenses. Net gains/(losses) of $ 3.3 , $( 7.8 ) and $( 18.0 ) in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively resulting from non-financing foreign exchange currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period presented. Translation gains or losses are reported as cumulative adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI/(L)”). Net gains/(losses) of $ 10.0 , $( 6.8 ) and $( 14.8 ) in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting from financing foreign exchange currency transactions are included in Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Russia Market Exit On April 27, 2022, the Company announced the Board of Directors’ decision to wind down its Russian operations. During fiscal 2022, the Company recognized total pre-tax charges of $ 83.6 associated with its exit of Russia. These charges are primarily related to the net realizable value of assets associated with the Russian business. These charges consisted of $ 45.5 in Selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily related to the write-down of working capital, long-term assets, as well as contract termination charges, contingent liabilities and legal costs, $ 31.4 in Asset impairment charges related to the impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles, $ 6.3 in Restructuring costs related to employee severances, and $ 0.4 in Cost of sales related to inventory write-downs. The Company incurred $ 24.1 of income tax charges associated with its decision to exit Russia, in fiscal 2022. We anticipate incurring up to $ 10.0 of additional costs through completion of the wind down. Additionally, management anticipates derecognizing the cumulative translation adjustment balance pertaining to the Russian subsidiary. The wind down process of Coty’s Russian subsidiary is at an early stage. F-15 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) , which clarifies certain interactions between the accounting for equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivative instruments. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and its results of operations. Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standard Update(s) Topic Effective Period Summary 2020-04, 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Fiscal 2023 The FASB issued new authoritative guidance under ASU No. 2020-04 that provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has not applied any of the optional expedients or exceptions allowed under this ASU. The Company does not believe that this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 2020-06 Debt- Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Fiscal 2023 The FASB issued authoritative guidance that removes certain separation models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock that require the separation of a convertible debt instrument into a debt component and an equity or derivative component. The Company does not believe that this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. 2021-08 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers Fiscal 2024 The FASB issued authoritative guidance that clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On June 1, 2020, the Comp any entered into a definitive agreement with Rainbow UK Bidco Limited (“KKR Bidco”), regarding a strategic transaction for the sale of Coty’s Professional and Retail Hair businesses, including the Wella, Clairol, OPI and ghd brands, (together, the “Wella Business”), valuing the business at $ 4,300.0 on a cash- and debt-free basis. The transaction was completed on November 30, 2020 and Coty retained an initial ownership of 40 % of the Wella Company. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned a 25.9 % stake in the Wella Company. See Note 13—Equity Investments for additional information. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of the Wella Business are presented as discontinued operations in the prior period leading up to the date of the sale, and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The Wella Business was comprised of the Professional Beauty and Retail Hair businesses. F-16 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The following table has selected financial information included in Net income from discontinued operations for the Wella Business. Year Ended June 30, 2022 (a) 2021 (b) 2020 Net revenues $ — $ 986.3 $ 2,020.1 Cost of sales — 322.5 689.7 Gross profit — 663.8 1,330.4 Selling, general and administrative expenses — 443.7 1,009.2 Amortization expense — — 95.5 Restructuring costs — ( 0.7 ) 7.5 Asset impairment charges — — — Operating income — 220.8 218.2 Interest expense, net — 21.3 49.7 (Gain) loss on sale of business ( 6.1 ) 246.4 — Other (income) expense, net — ( 1.0 ) ( 0.9 ) Income (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes 6.1 ( 45.9 ) 169.4 Income tax on discontinued operations 0.4 91.4 82.2 Net income (loss) from discontinued operations $ 5.7 $ ( 137.3 ) $ 87.2 (a) Net income from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2022 reflect certain working capital adjustments net of the related income tax impact. (b) As the sale of the Wella Business occurred on November 30, 2020, discontinued operations activity, other than the Loss on sale of business, comprises five months for the fiscal year ended 2021. The following is selected financial information included in cash flows from discontinued operations for the Wella Business held for sale: Year Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2020 NON-CASH OPERATING ITEMS Depreciation and amortization $ — $ — $ 131.8 CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES Capital expenditures $ — $ 8.7 $ 24.7 The gain/(loss) on sale of the Wella Business included in Net income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations was $ 6.1 and $( 246.4 ) for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Initial cash proceeds received by the Company for the sale of its 60 % stake in the Wella Business were $ 2,451.7 and the Company retained an equity interest of 40 %. The loss on sale reflects the net assets sold, taxes and other costs to sell the Wella Business. On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with KKR Bidco related to post-closing adjustments to the purchase consideration for the Wella Business. As part of this agreement, the Company may receive future contingent proceeds. Earning the contingent proceeds is based on the future recovery of certain tax credits of the Wella Business. The Company accounts for the initial measurement of contingent consideration under a loss recovery approach. As of the time the contingent consideration arrangement was entered into, the Company was unable to determine that it was probable that any of the contingent consideration would be earned. Therefore, no contingent consideration gain was initially recognized. Subsequent measurement of the total contingent consideration will be based on the guidance for gain contingencies and any gain will be recorded at the time the consideration is earned. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, a $ 34.0 advance of future contingent proceeds was paid to the Company and is subject to claw back if recovery targets related to the Wella Business tax credits are not achieved. During fiscal 2022, certain recovery targets were achieved and the Company recognized a $ 0.7 gain related to the advance payment, reported in Other income, net. The remaining $ 33.3 is unearned and will be included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the contingency is resolved.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions There were no business combination or asset acquisition transactions during the year ended June 30, 2022. KKW Beauty Business Transaction On January 4, 2021, the Company completed its purchase of 20 % of the outstanding equity of KKW Holdings, LLC (“KKW Holdings”), pursuant to a purchase agreement entered into between the Company, KKW Holdings and other parties listed as signatories (the “KKW Purchase Agreement”). On the same date, as contemplated by the KKW Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement, pursuant to which, in exchange for a marketing fee and a license fee, it received the right and license to manufacture, advertise, promote, distribute and sell certain Kim Kardashian West products outside of the existing KKW Holdings scope of fragrances and cosmetics, and use certain intellectual property owned by or licensed to KKW Holdings in connection with the development, manufacture, labelling, packaging, advertising, display, distribution and sale of such products (the “KKW Collaboration Agreement”). Under the KKW Collaboration Agreement, products will be sold by the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. Therefore, the related revenues generated and expenses incurred by such subsidiaries will be reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The KKW Purchase Agreement also gives the Company an option to acquire, and the sellers the option to compel the Company to acquire, an additional 31 % of the outstanding equity of KKW Holdings (the “KKW Call Option” and “KKW Put Option”, respectively). The seller’s ability to exercise the KKW Put Option is contingent upon the achievement of certain contractually defined targets. The KKW Call Option and KKW Put Option expire on the seventh anniversary of the KKW Collaboration Agreement. Future exercise of the KKW Call Option or KKW Put Option has been deemed by the Company to be remote. However, if exercise were to occur such exercise may result in a material cash outflow for the Company. The purchase consideration paid for the equity interest, the KKW Call Option and rights under the KKW Collaboration Agreement was $ 200.0 and was allocated as follows using a relative fair value approach at the acquisition date: Estimated fair value Estimated useful life (in years) KKW Collaboration Agreement $ 180.6 20 20 % equity interest in KKW Holdings 19.4 Total purchase consideration $ 200.0 The initial fair value of the KKW Collaboration Agreement and the Company’s 20 % equity investment were estimated using an income approach. The Company accounts for its 20 % investment in the equity of KKW Holdings under the equity method. The initial fair value of the KKW Collaboration Agreement is recognized within Other intangible assets, net and the Company’s equity investment in KKW Holdings is recognized within Equity investments, each within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the KKW Call Option was deemed to be de minimis. Business Divestitures There were no divestiture transactions during the year ended June 30, 2022. Wella Business On November 30, 2020, the Company completed the strategic transaction with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and its affiliates (“KKR”) for the sale of a majority stake in the Wella Business (see Note 3—Discontinued Operations). Following the sale, Coty deconsolidated the Wella Business as KKR owned approximately 60 % of the separately managed business, and the Company owned the remaining 40 %. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned a 25.9 % stake in the Wella Company. See Note 13—Equity Investments for additional information. Initial cash proceeds received for the sale of the 60 % stake in the Wella Business were $ 2,451.7 (less cash disposed of $ 65.5 , resulted in net cash proceeds of $ 2,386.2 ). Coty utilized $ 2,015.5 of the net proceeds to pay down its 2018 Coty Term A and B Facilities (as defined in Note 15—Debt) on a pro rata basis and reserved $ 500.0 for reinvestment in the Company's business, pursuant to the 2018 Coty Credit Agreement, as amended (as defined in Note 15—Debt). In connection with the November 30, 2021 amendment to the 2018 F-18 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Coty Credit Agreement, the Company received consent from the participating banks to eliminate the requirements to utilize or repay the Reinvestment Balance (as defined in Note 15—Debt). Additionally, as contemplated in the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended) relating to the sale of the Wella Business (the “Wella SPA”), the purchase consideration was subject to further adjustments for other working capital and contractually specified items. See Note 3—Discontinued Operations for more information. As a result of the sale of the majority interest in the Wella Business, the Company determined that it no longer had a controlling interest in the Wella Business. The Company, therefore, deconsolidated its ownership of the Wella Business assets and liabilities and no longer reported the assets and liabilities of the Wella Business in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 1, 2020. The operations of the Wella Business were consolidated in the results of the Company through the date of sale.

SEGMENT REPORTING Operating and reportable segments (referred to as “segments”) reflect the way the Company is managed and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has designated its Chief Executive Officer as the CODM. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the CODM finalized the Company's organizational structure and how performance will be assessed, and the Company realigned its reportable segments to a principally product category-based structure, comprised of a Prestige business segment and a Consumer Beauty business segment beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company recast its results for fiscal years 2021 and 2020 to reflect the changes in its segments. Certain income and shared costs and the results of corporate initiatives are managed by Corporate. Corporate primarily includes stock compensation expense, restructuring and realignment costs, costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities, and impairments of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangibles that are not attributable to ongoing operating activities of the segments. Corporate costs are not used by the CODM to measure the underlying performance of the segments. With the exception of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, the Company does not identify or monitor assets by segment. The Company does not present assets by reportable segment since various assets are shared between reportable F-19 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) segments. The allocation of goodwill by segment is presented in Note 12—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net.

TRADE RECEIVABLES—FACTORING The Company factors a portion of its trade receivables with unrelated third-party factoring companies on both a recourse and non-recourse basis. The Company maximizes its use of the factoring facility, by factoring additional invoices to replace invoices paid early. The Company accounts for trade receivable transfers as sales and derecognizes the sold receivables from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net amount utilized under factoring facilities was $ 179.3 and $ 133.6 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The aggregate amount of trade receivable invoices on a worldwide basis amounted to $ 1,041.2 and $ 793.8 in fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. Remaining balances due from factors amounted to $ 11.2 and $ 6.3 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in Trade receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Factoring fees paid under these arrangements were $ 3.0 , $ 1.2 and $ 1.8 in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash received from the selling of receivables are presented as a change in trade receivables within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. U.S. Receivables Purchase Agreement On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) with a financial institution, with an aggregate facility limit of $ 150.0 . Eligible trade receivables are purchased by the financial institution for cash at net invoice value less a factoring fee. Pursuant to Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Company acts as collections agent for the financial institution and is responsible for the collection, and remittance to the financial institution, of all customer payments related to trade receivables factored under this arrangement. For F-22 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) certain customer receivables factored, the Company will retain a recourse obligation of up to 10 percent of the respective invoice’s net invoice value, payable to the financial institution if the customer’s payment is not received by the contractual due date. The fair value of sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature. The Company estimated that the fair value of its servicing responsibilities was not material. European Receivables Purchase Agreement In September 2019, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with a financial institution, which allows for the transfer of receivables from certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries, in exchange for cash (the “European Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The total outstanding amount permitted among such subsidiaries is € 93.0 million. Factoring of such receivables under the European Receivables Purchase Agreement is executed on a non-recourse basis. Other Factoring Agreements In addition to the Company’s main factoring facilities described above, from time to time, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries may enter into local factoring agreements with local financial institutions. Based on the terms of such arrangements entered into during fiscal 2022, the Company has derecognized receivables sold pursuant to these arrangements from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 9.

Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue growth rate in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. (b) The primary unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments with fair value option, when using a market multiple method, are the revenue multiple and EBITDA multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in the revenue multiple or EBITDA multiple in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The market multiples are derived from a group of guideline public companies.

LEASES The Company leases office facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with terms generally ranging between 10 and 25 years. The Company utilizes these leased office facilities for use by its employees in countries in which the Company conducts its business. Leases are negotiated with third parties and, in some instances contain renewal, expansion and termination options. The Company also subleases certain office facilities to third parties when the Company no longer intends to utilize the space. None of the Company’s leases restricts the payment of dividends or the incurrence of debt or additional lease obligations, or contain significant purchase options. Due to the divestiture of the Wella Business, lease assets, liabilities and expenses specific to this business for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are excluded from the subsequent tables.

During fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a benefit of $ 234.4 as a result of a tax rate differential on the deferred taxes recognized on the transfer of assets and liabilities, following the Company’s relocation of the main principal location from Geneva to Amsterdam. The overall value of the assets and liabilities transferred was negotiated with both the Swiss and Dutch tax authorities and per terms of the agreements, will be reevaluated after three years. The Company also recorded an expense of $ 130.0 related to an internal restructuring following the Wella divestiture, primarily intended to create a more efficient structure to hold its equity investment in Wella. During fiscal 2020, the Company recorded a benefit of $ 105.7 for the capital loss generated as a result of the disposition of its investment in Younique.

F-41 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of UTBs is presented below: Year Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2020 UTBs—July 1 $ 279.9 $ 277.9 $ 263.6 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 1.7 32.1 15.9 Additions for tax positions of prior years 20.8 — 42.9 Reductions for tax positions of prior years ( 29.4 ) ( 4.5 ) ( 27.6 ) Settlements ( 0.2 ) ( 0.4 ) ( 0.1 ) Lapses in statutes of limitations ( 14.1 ) ( 33.3 ) ( 12.7 ) Foreign currency translation ( 7.1 ) 8.1 ( 4.1 ) UTBs—June 30 $ 251.6 $ 279.9 $ 277.9 As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $ 251.6 of UTBs of which $ 174.8 represents the amount that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate in future periods. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, is $ 191.8 and $ 181.2 , respectively, which is recorded in Income and other taxes payable and Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accrued interest of $ 4.2 , $ 0.8 and $ 3.2 , respectively, in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company accrued no penalties in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2020, but released penalties of $ 0.5 in fiscal 2021. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to UTBs as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 is $ 26.4 and $ 21.7 , respectively. The Company is present in approximately 40 tax jurisdictions, and at any point in time is subject to several audits at various stages of completion. As a result, the Company evaluates tax positions and establishes liabilities for UTBs that may be challenged by local authorities and may not be fully sustained, despite a belief that the underlying tax positions are fully supportable. UTBs are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law, and closing of statute of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the provision for income taxes as appropriate. In fiscal 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $ 14.3 and $ 33.7 respectively associated with the settlement of tax audits in multiple jurisdictions and the expiration of foreign and state statutes of limitation. The Company has open tax years ranging from 2009 and forward. On the basis of information available at June 30, 2022, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $ 17.8 in UTBs related to U.S. and foreign exposures may be necessary within the coming year. It is also possible the ongoing audits by tax authorities may result in increases or decreases to the balance of UTBs. Since it is common practice to extend audits beyond the Statute of Limitations, the Company is unable to predict the timing or conclusion of these audits and, accordingly, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of changes to the balance of UTBs that are reasonably possible at this time. However, the Company believes it has adequately provided for its UTBs for all open tax years in each tax jurisdiction. 18.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Savings and Retirement Plans - The Company’s Savings and Retirement Plans include a U.S. defined contribution plan for employees primarily in the U.S. and international savings plans for employees in certain other countries. In the U.S., hourly and salary based employees are eligible to participate in the plan after 90 days of service and the Company matches 100 % of employee contributions up to 6.0 % of employee compensation. In addition, the Company makes contributions to the plan on behalf of employees determined by their age and compensation. F-42 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) During fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, the defined contribution expense for Coty Inc. for the U.S. defined contribution plan was $ 13.6 , $ 15.8 and $ 20.5 , respectively, and the defined contribution expense for the international savings plans was $ 9.7 , $ 12.0 and $ 14.1 , respectively. Defined contribution expense includes amounts related to discontinued operations, which are not material for any period. Pension Plans - The Company sponsors contributory and noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain U.S. and international employees primarily in France, Germany and Switzerland. Participants in the U.S. defined benefit pension plan no longer accrue benefits. The Company measures defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the Company’s fiscal year-end. The Company’s defined benefit pension plans are funded primarily through contributions from the Company after consideration of recommendations from the pension plans’ independent actuaries and are funded at levels sufficient to comply with local requirements. Settlements and Curtailments for Pension Plans As part of the Turnaround Plan, the Company concluded that restructuring actions resulted in a significant reduction of future services of active employees in certain of the Company’s non-U.S. pension plans. As a result, the Company recognized curtailment gains of $ 1.3 , $ 6.9 and $ 14.1 during the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, the Company recognized settlement losses of $ 1.8 and $ 3.8 , of which $ 1.4 and $ 2.3 were related to restructuring actions during the years ended June 30 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The impact of settlement and curtailment activity on the current and prior comparative periods is included in Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Plan Amendments for Pension Plans - There were no Plan amendments as of June 30, 2022. Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans (“OPEB”) - The Company provides certain post-employment health and life insurance benefits for certain employees and spouses principally in the U.S. and France if certain age and service requirements are met. Estimated benefits to be paid by the Company are expensed over the service period of each employee based on calculations performed by an independent actuary. In addition, the Company has a supplemental retirement plan and a termination benefit plan for selected salaried employees. Settlements and Curtailments for OPEB Plans - As part of the Turnaround Plan, the Company concluded that restructuring actions resulted in a significant reduction of future services of active employees in certain of the Company’s U.S. OPEB Plans. The impact of settlement and curtailment activity on the current and prior comparative periods is included in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All of the disclosures below include amounts related to discontinued operations through November 30, 2020, except when otherwise noted.

The actuarial gain in the projected benefit obligation was partially offset by the asset loss of $ 16.0 as a result of worse than expected asset performance, particularly in Switzerland and Germany. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the projected benefit obligation actuarial loss of $ 35.9 was primarily driven by a decrease in discount rates since June 30, 2020. The actuarial loss was the cumulative impact of the decrease in discount rates at (i) the remeasurement as of November 30, 2020 due to the Wella divestiture and (ii) the measurement as of fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The actuarial loss in the projected benefit obligation was partially offset by the asset gain of $ 18.3 as a result of better than expected asset performance, particularly in Germany. During fiscal 2022 the retiree medical and life insurance plan experienced a gain on the liability of $ 10.9 primarily driven by the increase in the discount rate. Retirees waiving medical coverage, updated medical trend, and a change in the plan participation assumption for active participants to 50% HSA and 50% OAP also contributed to the gain. The gain was slightly offset due to updated claims and mortality assumption changes. During fiscal 2021 the retiree medical and life insurance plan experienced a gain on the liability of $ 2.8 primarily due to retirees waiving medical coverage this year that had coverage last year, and updated claims, mortality and discount rate assumptions. The gain was slightly offset due to updated medical trend assumptions .

The goals of the investment managers include minimizing risk and achieving growth in principal value so that the purchasing power of such value is maintained with respect to the rate of inflation. The pension plan’s return on assets is based on management’s expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the underlying investment portfolios. In establishing this assumption, management considers historical and expected returns for the assets in which the plan is invested, as well as current economic and market conditions. The asset allocation decision includes consideration of future retirements, lump-sum elections, growth in the number of participants, the Company’s contributions and cash flow. These actual characteristics of the plan place certain demands upon the level, risk and required growth of trust assets. Actual asset allocation is regularly reviewed and periodically rebalanced to the strategic allocation when considered appropriate. The target asset allocations for the Company’s pension plans as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, by asset category are presented below: % of Plan Assets at Year Ended Target 2022 2021 Equity securities 40 % 38 % 42 % Fixed income securities 45 % 42 % 36 % Cash and other investments 15 % 20 % 22 % F-47 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Fair Value of Plan Assets The international pension plan assets that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis, based on the fair value hierarchy as described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 are presented below: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Equity securities $ 32.5 $ 50.7 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 32.5 $ 50.7 Fixed income securities: Corporate securities 33.8 33.0 — — — — 33.8 33.0 Other: Cash and cash equivalents 1.6 0.2 — — — — 1.6 0.2 Insurance contracts and other — — — — 33.6 75.2 33.6 75.2 Total pension plan assets $ 67.9 $ 83.9 $ — $ — $ 33.6 $ 75.2 $ 101.5 $ 159.1 The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for plan assets measured at fair value: Equity securities -The fair values reflect the closing price reported on a major market where the individual securities are traded. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Corporate securities -The fair values are based on a compilation of primarily observable market information or a broker quote in a non-active market. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Cash and cash equivalents -The carrying amount approximates fair value, primarily because of the short maturity of cash equivalent instruments. These investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Insurance contracts and other - Includes contracts issued by insurance companies and other investments that are not publicly traded. These investments are generally classified as Level 3 as there are neither quoted prices nor other observable inputs for pricing. Insurance contracts are valued at cash surrender value, which approximates the contract fair value. Other Level 3 plan assets include real estate and other alternative investment funds requiring inputs that cannot be readily derived from observable market data due to the infrequency with which the underlying assets trade. The Company sponsors a qualified defined benefit pension plan for all eligible Swiss employees. Retirement benefits are provided based on employees’ years of service and earnings, or in accordance with applicable employee regulations. Consistent with typical Swiss practice, the pension plan is funded through a guaranteed insurance contract with an insurance company (“IC”). The IC is responsible for the investment strategy of the insurance premiums that the Company submits and does not hold individual assets per participating employer. Assets are invested in accordance with the IC’s own strategies and risk assessments. Under the terms of the contract, the interest rate as well as the capital value is guaranteed for each participant, with the IC assuming any risk to the value of the underlying assets. The IC is a member of a security fund, whose purpose is to cover any shortfall in the event they are not able to fulfill its contractual agreements. The plan assets of the Swiss plan are included in the Level 3 valuation. The Company also sponsors qualified defined benefit pension plans for certain eligible German employees. The Company’s German pension plans are partially funded with plan assets held in a Contractual Trust Arrangement, under which Company assets have been irrevocably transferred to a registered association for the exclusive purpose of securing and funding pension obligations in Germany. The association invests primarily in publicly tradable equity and fixed income securities, using a funding strategy that is reviewed on a regular basis. Plan assets are also held in the Company’s other non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The other non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans provide benefits primarily based on earnings and years of service and are funded in compliance with local laws and practices. The plan assets are invested in various asset classes that are expected to produce a sufficient level of diversification and investment return over the long term at an acceptable level of risk.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange fluctuations through its global operations. The Company reduces its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative instruments, including forward foreign exchange contracts and by designating foreign currency denominated borrowings and cross-currency swaps as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company expects that through hedging, any gain or loss on the derivative instruments would generally offset the expected increase or decrease in the value of the underlying forecasted transactions. In September 2019, the Company entered into cross-currency swap contracts in the notional amount of $ 550.0 and designated these cross-currency swaps as hedges of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. In September 2020, the Company terminated these net investment cross currency swap derivatives in exchange for cash payment of $ 37.6 . The related loss from this termination is included in AOCI/(L) until the sale or substantial liquidation of the underlying investments. On November 30, 2020, the Company completed the previously announced strategic transaction with KKR for the sale of a majority stake in the Wella Business. As part of the transaction, on December 1, 2020, the Company entered into a novation agreement with Wella to assign all of its existing foreign exchange forward contracts and related obligation executed by the Company in connection with the Wella Business. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the notional amounts of the outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $ 30.0 and $ 0.0 , respectively. The Company also uses certain derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consisting primarily of foreign currency forward contracts and cross currency swaps to hedge intercompany transactions and foreign currency denominated external debt. Although these derivatives were not designated for hedge accounting, the overall objective of mitigating foreign currency exposure is the same for all derivative instruments. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded in the line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to which the derivative relates. As of June 30, 2022 F-49 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) and 2021, the notional amounts of these outstanding non-designated foreign currency forward and cross currency forward contracts were $ 2,403.8 and $ 816.7 , respectively. Interest Rate Risk The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations related to its variable rate debt instruments. The Company reduces its exposure to fluctuations in the cash flows associated with changes in the variable interest rates by entering into offsetting positions through the use of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts. The interest rate swap contracts result in recognizing a fixed interest rate for the portion of the Company’s variable rate debt that was hedged. This will reduce the negative impact of increases in the variable rates over the term of the contracts. Hedge effectiveness of interest rate swap contracts is based on a long-haul hypothetical derivative methodology and includes all changes in value. During September 2019, the Company entered into incremental interest rate swap contracts in the notional amount of $ 1,000.0 , which extended the maturity of the interest rate swap portfolio from 2021 through 2023. In fiscal 2021 and 2022, the Company terminated certain existing interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $ 700.0 and $ 200.0 in exchange for cash payments of $ 4.9 and $ 1.9 , respectively. The related losses from these terminations are included in Interest expense, net, within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had interest rate swap contracts designated as effective hedges in the notional amounts of $ 800.0 and $ 1,900.0 , respectively. These interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Net Investment Hedge Foreign currency gains and losses on borrowings designated as a net investment hedge, except ineffective portions, are reported in the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) component of AOCI/(L), along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those investments. As a result of the prepayments of the 2018 Coty Term A and B Facilities, as described in Note 15—Debt, and implementation of the foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as net investment hedges decreased from nominal exposures of € 1,809.5 million as of June 30, 2021 to € 289.0 million as of June 30, 2022. The designated hedge amounts were considered highly effective. Forward Repurchase Contracts In June 2022, the Company entered into certain forward repurchase contracts to start hedging for a potential $ 200.0 share buyback program in 2024. These forward repurchase contracts are accounted for at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in Net income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 23—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock. Derivative and non-derivative financial instruments which are designated as hedging instruments: The accumulated gain on foreign currency borrowings classified as net investment hedges in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI/(L) was $ 41.7 and $ 5.4 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The accumulated loss on cross currency swaps designated as net investment hedges in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI/(L) was $( 37.6 ) as of June 30, 2022 and 2021. The amount of gains and losses recognized in OCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Company’s derivative and non-derivative financial instruments which are designated as hedging instruments is presented below: Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2020 Foreign exchange forward contracts $ ( 1.0 ) $ ( 0.3 ) $ 1.3 Interest rate swap contracts 13.9 1.0 ( 50.3 ) Cross-currency swap contracts — ( 25.1 ) ( 12.5 ) Net investment hedges 36.3 ( 256.5 ) 47.1 The accumulated gain (loss) on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges in AOCI/(L), net of tax, was $ 4.3 and $( 15.5 ) as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The estimated net gain related to these effective hedges that is expected to be reclassified from AOCI/(L) into earnings, net of tax, within the next twelve months is $ 2.6 . As of June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s remaining foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges were highly effective.

MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE FINANCIAL INTEREST United Arab Emirates subsidiary The Company is required under a shareholders agreement to purchase all of the shares held by the noncontrolling interest holder equal to 25 % of the outstanding shares of a certain subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates (the “U.A.E. subsidiary”) at the termination of the agreement on December 31, 2020. The final purchase price of $ 7.1 was paid in July 2021. Prior to the cash purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest, the noncontrolling interest balance was recorded as a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument (“MRFI”) liability. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the liability amounted to $ 0.0 and $ 7.1 , respectively. Southeast Asian subsidiary On May 23, 2017, the Company entered into the Sale of Shares and Termination Deed, as amended (the “Termination Agreement”) to purchase the remaining 49 % noncontrolling interest from the noncontrolling interest holder of a certain Southeast Asian subsidiary for a purchase price of $ 45.0 . In July 2019, the Company purchased the remaining 49 % noncontrolling interest of a certain Southeast Asian subsidiary from the noncontrolling interest holder for $ 45.0 , pursuant to a Sale of Shares and Termination Deed, as amended. The termination was effective on June 30, 2019 and immediately prior to the cash purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest, the noncontrolling interest balance was recorded as a MRFI liability. 22. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS As of June 30, 2022, the redeemable noncontrolling interests (“RNCI”) consist of interests in a consolidated subsidiary in the Middle East. F-51 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Younique On September 16, 2019, the Company completed the sale of all of its membership interest in Foundation, which held the net assets of Younique. On the date of this transaction, the Younique membership holders had a 40.7 % membership interest in Foundation. See Note 4—Business Combinations, Asset Acquisitions and Divestitures. As a result of the Company’s sale of its membership interest in Foundation, RNCI of $ 360.4 was derecognized as of the date of sale. Subsidiary in the Middle East As of June 30, 2022, the noncontrolling interest holder in the Company’s subsidiary in the Middle East (“Middle East Subsidiary”) had a 25 % ownership share. The Company has the ability to exercise the Call right for the remaining noncontrolling interest of 25 % on December 31, 2028, with such transaction to close on December 31, 2029. In addition to the Call right feature, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to sell the noncontrolling interest to the Company on December 31, 2028, with such transaction to close on December 31, 2029 (a “Put right”). The amount at which the Put right and Call right can be exercised is based on a formula prescribed by the amended shareholders’ agreement as summarized in the table below, multiplied by the noncontrolling interest holder’s percentage interest in the Middle East Subsidiary. Given the provision of the Put right, the entire noncontrolling interest is redeemable outside of the Company’s control and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the estimated redemption value. The Company adjusts the redeemable noncontrolling interest to the redemption values at the end of each reporting period with changes recognized as adjustments to APIC. The Company recognized $ 69.8 and $ 84.1 as the redeemable noncontrolling interest balances as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Middle East Percentage of redeemable noncontrolling interest 25 % Earliest exercise date(s) December 2028 Formula of redemption value (a) 3 -year average of EBIT * 6 (a) EBIT is defined in the amended shareholders’ agreement as the consolidated net earnings before interest and income tax. 23.

There are two classes of Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, both with a par value of $ 0.01 per share. As of June 30, 2022, there were 1.5 million shares of Series A and no shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding. Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends and have no voting rights except as required by law. On March 27, 2020, the Company reacquired, retired and cancelled 7.9 million shares of its Series A-1 Preferred Stock, reducing the total authorized number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock from 7.9 million to zero shares. The Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock were issued to executive officers and directors under subscription agreements. Generally, the subscription agreements entitle the holder of the vested Series A or Series A-1 Preferred Stock to exchange the Series A or Series A-1 Preferred Stock into either cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, at the election of the Company, at the exchange value. The exchange value is generally equal to the difference between the 10-day trailing average closing price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the date of exchange and a predetermined hurdle price. The Series A Preferred Stock generally vests on the fifth anniversary of issuance, subject to continued employment with the Company and investment by the holder in shares of Class A Common Stock throughout the vesting period.

F-56 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Treasury Stock - Share Repurchase Program Since February 2014, the Board has authorized the Company to repurchase its Class A Common Stock under approved repurchase programs. On February 3, 2016, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $ 500.0 of its Class A Common Stock (the “Incremental Repurchase Program”). Such repurchases may be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its Class A Common Stock, and general market conditions. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has $ 396.8 remaining under the Incremental Repurchase Program. There were no share repurchase activities during the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 under the Incremental Repurchase Program. In June 2022, the Company entered into forward repurchase contracts (the “Forward” and together the “Forwards”) with three large financial institutions (“Counterparties”) to start hedging for a potential $ 200.0 share buyback program in 2024. In connection with the Forward transactions, the Company incurred certain execution fees of $ 2.0 , which was recognized as a premium to the forward price recorded at inception and amortized ratably over the contract period. As part of the Forward agreements, the Company will pay interest on the outstanding underlying notional amount of the Forwards held by the Counterparties during the contract period. The interest rates are variable, based on the United States secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread. The weighted average interest rate plus applicable spread was 6.4 % as of June 30, 2022. The Forward agreements with two of the Counterparties, which purchased approximately 13.7 million and 3.8 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in June 2022, respectively, require the Company to: (i) repurchase the shares on or before June 6, 2024 at a price based on the weighted average of the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the initial acquisition period (“Initial Price”); or (ii) at the Company’s option, pay or receive the difference between the Final Price, defined as the weighted average of the daily VWAP during the unwind period as defined in the agreement, and Initial Price of the Forwards. Simultaneously, the remaining Counterparty purchased approximately 7.1 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during June 2022. This Forward requires the Company to pay or receive the difference between the Final Price and Initial Price established at inception of the Forward on or before June 6, 2024. In addition, the Forwards include a provision for a potential true-up in cash upon specified changes in the price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock relative to the Initial Price (“Hedge Valuation Adjustment”). Such Hedge Valuation Adjustment shall not result in a termination date or any adjustment of the number of Coty’s Class A Common Stock shares purchased by the Counterparties at inception. In the event, the Company declares and pays any cash dividends on its Class A Common Stock, the Forward Counterparties will be entitled to such dividend payments and payable at termination of the Forwards. Since the Forwards permit a net cash settlement alternative in addition to the physical settlement, the Company accounted for the Forwards initially and subsequently at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 24. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has various share-based compensation programs (the “the Compensation Plans”) under which awards, including non-qualified stock options, Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, RSUs, restricted stock and other share-based awards, may be granted or shares of Class A Common Stock may be purchased. As of June 30, 2022, up to 74.1 million shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock were authorized to be granted pursuant to these Plans, of which 40.1 million shares were available. The Company may satisfy the obligation of its stock-based compensation awards with new shares. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation plans for Common Stock as equity plans. The share-based compensation for equity plans is estimated and fixed at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Series A Preferred Stock is accounted for partially as equity and partially using liability plan accounting to the extent the award is expected to be settled in cash. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense for the liability plan awards are measured at the end of each reporting period based on the fair value of the award on each reporting date and recognized as an expense to the extent earned. F-57 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Total share-based compensation from continuing operations is shown in the table below: 2022 2021 2020 Equity plan expense (a) $ 195.4 $ 25.4 $ 24.8 Equity plan modified and cash settled — 0.9 18.3 Liability plan expense (income) 0.1 1.6 ( 2.0 ) Fringe expense 2.3 0.5 1.1 Total share-based compensation expense $ 197.8 $ 28.4 $ 42.2 (a) Equity plan shared-based compensation expense of $ 195.4 and $ 27.4 was recorded to additional paid in capital and presented in the Consolidated Statement of Equity for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of the $ 195.4 and $ 27.4 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, $ 0.0 and $ 2.0 was reclassified to discontinued operations. The share-based compensation expense for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020 of $ 197.8 , $ 28.4 and $ 42.2 , respectively, includes $ 202.0 , $ 34.7 , and $ 48.9 expense for the respective period offset by $( 4.2 ), $( 6.3 ) and $( 6.7 ) of income for the respective periods primarily due to significant executive forfeitures of share-based compensation instruments. During fiscal 2020, $ 18.3 of share-based compensation expense related to the repurchase of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shares from the Company’s former CEO. As of June 30, 2022, the total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, restricted stock, and restricted stock units and other share awards is $ 2.2 , $ 0.0 , $ 3.1 and $ 155.6 , respectively. The unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, Series A and A-1 Preferred Stock, restricted stock, and restricted stock units and other share awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.07 , 0.00 , 1.72 and 1.42 years, respectively. Non-Qualified Stock Options During fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company granted 0.0 million , 0.0 million and 2.2 million non-qualified stock option awards, respectively. These options are accounted for using equity accounting whereby the share-based compensation expense is estimated and fixed at the grant date based on the estimated value of the options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. During fiscal 2020, the share-based compensation expense recognized on non-qualified stock options is based upon the fair value on the grant date estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2020 Expected life 7.4 years Risk-free interest rate 1.63 % Expected volatility 41.67 % Expected dividend yield 4.10 % Expected life —The expected life represented the period of time (years) that options granted were expected to be outstanding, which the Company calculated using a formula based on the vesting term and the contractual life of the respective option. Risk-free interest rate —The Company based the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on a U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the expected term of the underlying options. Expected volatility —The expected volatility is derived using historical stock price information for the Company’s common stock and that of certain peer group companies, and the volatility implied by the trading of options to purchase the Company’s stock on open-market exchanges. Expected dividend yield —The weighted-average expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s expectation to pay dividends over the contractual term of the options. Non-qualified stock options generally become exercisable five years from the date of the grant or on a graded vesting schedule where 60 % of each award granted vests after three years , 20 % of each award granted vests after four years and 20 % of each award granted vests after five years . All grants expire ten years from the date of the grant. F-58 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) The Company’s outstanding non-qualified stock options as of June 30, 2022 and activity during the fiscal year then ended are presented below: Shares (in millions) Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Outstanding at July 1, 2021 13.4 $ 13.00 Forfeited ( 7.6 ) 13.12 Outstanding at June 30, 2022 5.8 $ 12.85 Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2022 5.2 $ 13.13 $ — 6.11 Exercisable at June 30, 2022 3.5 $ 13.59 $ — 5.88 Of the 5.8 million stock options outstanding at June 30, 2022, 2.5 million vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and 3.3 million vest on the graded vesting schedule. As of June 30, 2022, the grant prices of the outstanding options ranged from $ 8.65 to $ 18.55 , and the grant prices for exercisable options ranged from $ 9.20 to $ 18.55 . A summary of the aggregated weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted and total intrinsic value of stock options exercised for fiscal 2020 is presented below: 2020 Weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options $ 3.41 Intrinsic value of options exercised 6.1 The Company’s non-vested non-qualified stock options as of June 30, 2022 and activity during the fiscal year then ended are presented below: Shares (in millions) Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested at July 1, 2021 12.8 $ 2.84 Vested ( 3.9 ) 4.39 Forfeited ( 6.6 ) 3.61 Non-vested at June 30, 2022 2.3 $ 3.14 The share-based compensation expense recognized on the non-qualified stock options was $( 0.9 ), $ 0.5 and $ 3.6 during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Executive Ownership Programs The Company encourages executive stock ownership through various programs. These programs govern shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by employees (“Purchased Shares”). Employees purchased 0.0 million , 0.1 million and 0.8 million shares in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and received matching non-qualified stock options or RSUs in accordance with the terms of the Compensation Plans under the Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Omnibus LTIP”). There was no share-based compensation expense recorded in connection with Purchased Shares for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, share-based compensation expense recorded in connection with matching stock awards granted in accordance with the Compensation Plans are noted in their respective section of this footnote. Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock In addition to the Executive Ownership Programs discussed above, the Series A Preferred Stock are accounted for partially as equity and partially as a liability as of June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and the Company recognized an (income) expense of $( 0.2 ), $ 0.8 and $ 15.8 in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Note 23—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock for additional information. F-59 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) On February 27, 2020, the Company agreed to repurchase 6.9 million shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock from the former CEO for $ 18.3 , which settled in cash during fiscal 2020. The repurchase was treated as a modification of stock compensation awards’ vesting and settlement terms. The Company recorded an incremental expense of $ 18.3 related to the modification during fiscal 2020. The Company uses the binomial lattice or the Black-Scholes model to value the equity and cash bonus components of the granted outstanding Series A Preferred Stocks.

The Company’s CEO, Sue Nabi, was granted a one-time sign-on award of restricted stock units (the “Award”) on June 30, 2021. The Award will vest and settle in 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, on each of August 31, 2021, August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2023, subject to her continued employment through each such date.

The amount of compensation cost recognized at each vesting date must at least equal the portion of the award legally vested. As such, $ 170.9 was recognized in fiscal year 2022. In addition, $ 93.4 and $ 15.9 will be recognized in the fiscal years ending 2023 and 2024, respectively. In connection with this Award, Cottage Holdco B.V., the Company’s largest stockholder and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., agreed, pursuant to an equity transfer agreement, to transfer to Ms. Nabi (either directly or through contributing to the Company) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock no later than sixty days following the first vesting date.

The award to Mr. Becht was made outside of the Company’s Omnibus LTIP. On July 24, 2015, Mr. Becht elected to receive payment of the phantom units in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock and the phantom units were valued at $ 8.0 . The phantom units vested on the fifth anniversary of the grant date and remain outstanding as of June 30, 2022. 25. NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO COTY INC. PER COMMON SHARE Net income (loss) attributable to Coty Inc. common stockholders per common share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Coty Inc. less any dividends on Series B Preferred Stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to Coty Inc. common stockholders per common share assuming dilution (“diluted EPS”) is computed by adjusting the numerator used in basic EPS to add back the dividends applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock, if dilutive, and using the basic EPS weighted-average number of common shares and the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period as the denominator. Potentially dilutive securities consist of non-qualified stock options, Series A Preferred Stock, RSUs, unvested restricted stock awards and potential shares resulting from the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Net income (loss) attributable to Coty Inc. is adjusted through the application of the two-class method of income per share to reflect a portion of the periodic adjustment of the redemption value in excess of fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. There is no excess of redemption value over fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. In addition, there are no participating securities requiring the application of the two-class method of income per share. F-62 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Reconciliation between the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is presented below: Year Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2020 Amounts attributable to Coty Inc.: Net income (loss) from continuing operations $ 253.8 $ ( 64.0 ) $ ( 1,093.9 ) Convertible Series B Preferred Stock dividends ( 198.3 ) ( 102.3 ) ( 6.5 ) Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders 55.5 ( 166.3 ) ( 1,100.4 ) Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax 5.7 ( 137.3 ) 87.2 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 61.2 $ ( 303.6 ) $ ( 1,013.2 ) Weighted-average common shares outstanding: Weighted-average common shares outstanding—Basic 820.6 764.8 759.1 Effect of dilutive stock options and Series A/A-1 Preferred Stock (a) — — — Effect of restricted stock and RSUs (b) 13.5 — — Effect of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock (c) — — — Weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding—Diluted (a) 834.1 764.8 759.1 Earnings (losses) per common share Earnings (losses) from continuing operations per common share - basic $ 0.07 $ ( 0.22 ) $ ( 1.45 ) Earnings (losses) from continuing operations per common share - diluted (d) $ 0.07 $ ( 0.22 ) $ ( 1.45 ) Earnings (losses) from discontinued operations - basic $ 0.01 $ ( 0.18 ) $ 0.12 Earnings (losses) from discontinued operations - diluted $ 0.01 $ ( 0.18 ) $ 0.12 Earnings (losses) per common share - basic $ 0.08 $ ( 0.40 ) $ ( 1.33 ) Earnings (losses) per common share - diluted (d) $ 0.08 $ ( 0.40 ) $ ( 1.33 ) (a) As of June 30, 2022, outstanding stock options and Series A Preferred Stock with purchase or conversion rights to purchase 8.3 million weighted average shares of Common Stock were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, outstanding stock options and Series A Preferred Stock with purchase or conversion rights to purchase shares of Common Stock were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share due to the net loss incurred during the period. (b) As of June 30, 2022, there were 1.6 million weighted average anti-dilutive RSUs, excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, RSUs were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share due to the net loss incurred during the period. (c ) As of June 30, 2022, there were 65.4 million dilutive shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS due to the net loss incurred during the period. (d) Diluted EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company's equity compensation plans and the convertible Series B Preferred Stock. When calculating any potential dilutive effect of stock options, Series A Preferred Stock, restricted stock and RSUs, the Company uses the treasury method and the if-converted method for the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock. The treasury method typically does not adjust the net income attributable to Coty Inc., while the if-converted method requires an adjustment to reverse the impact of the preferred stock dividends, if dilutive, on net income applicable to common stockholders during the period . 26. LEGAL AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES Legal Matters The Company is involved, from time to time, in various litigation, administrative and other legal proceedings, including regulatory actions, incidental or related to its business, including consumer class or collective actions, personal injury (including asbestos claims related to the Company’s talc-based cosmetic products), intellectual property, competition, compliance and advertising claims litigation and disputes, among others (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”). While the Company cannot predict any final outcomes relating thereto, management believes that the outcome of current Legal Proceedings will not have a F-63 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) material effect upon its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of the Company’s securities. However, management’s assessment of the Company’s current Legal Proceedings is ongoing, and could change in light of the discovery of additional facts with respect to Legal Proceedings not presently known to the Company, further legal analysis, or determinations by judges, arbitrators, juries or other finders of fact or deciders of law which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the probable liability or outcome of such Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the Company is in discussions with regulators, including discussions initiated by the Company, about actual or potential violations of law in order to remediate or mitigate associated legal or compliance risks and liabilities or penalties. As the outcomes of such proceedings are unpredictable, the Company can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect its reputation, business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of its securities. Certain Litigation . A consolidated purported stockholder class action and derivative complaint concerning the tender offer by Cottage Holdco B.V. (the “Cottage Tender Offer”) and the Schedule 14D-9 is pending against certain current and former directors of the Company, JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The case, which was filed on May 6, 2019, was captioned Massachusetts Laborers’ Pension Fund v. Harf et al., Case No. 2019-0336-AGB. On June 14, 2019, plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a Verified Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (“Amended Complaint”). After defendants responded to the Amended Complaint, on October 21, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Verified Second Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”), alleging that the directors and JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders and breached the Stockholders Agreement. The Second Amended Complaint seeks, among other things, monetary relief. On November 21, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss certain claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint, and certain of the director defendants also answered the complaint. On May 7, 2020, plaintiffs stipulated to the dismissal without prejudice of JAB Holding Company S.à r.l. from the action. On August 17, 2020, the court denied the remaining motions to dismiss. The case is currently at the discovery stage with a trial date scheduled for November 2022. A purported stockholder class action complaint, alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws in connection with the P&G beauty brands acquisition is pending against the Company as well as certain current and former officers of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case, which was filed on September 4, 2020, is captioned Crystal Garrett-Evans v. Coty Inc. et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-07277 (the “Evans Action”). On November 23, 2020, the court appointed the individual Susan Nock as lead plaintiff and the Rosen Firm as lead counsel. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 22, 2021. The Amended Complaint asserts claims under the federal securities laws and seeks, among other things, monetary relief. On March 8, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and on August 4, 2021, the court dismissed the amended complaint, holding that it failed to set forth a valid claim. There has been no appeal of the dismissal and the Evans Action has been concluded. A second purported stockholder class action and derivative complaint, alleging violations of the U.S. securities laws in connection with the P&G beauty brands acquisition and the Kylie Brands transaction as well as claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets by certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case, which was filed on November 17, 2020, is captioned Chris Lewis v. Becht et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-09685 (the “Lewis Action”). The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, injunctive and/or monetary relief. This action was voluntarily stayed during the pendency of the motion to dismiss the Evans Action. Following the dismissal of the Evans Action, counsel for the plaintiff in the Lewis Action agreed to dismiss the case and the court has approved the dismissal of the action as of October 2021. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance, that may result given the current status of these lawsuits. Brazilian Tax Assessments The Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries receive tax assessments from local, state and federal tax authorities in Brazil from time to time. Current open tax assessments as of June 30, 2022 are: F-64 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Assessment received Type of assessment Type of Tax Tax period impacted Estimated amount, including interest and penalties as of June 30, 2022 Mar-18 State sales tax credits, which the Treasury Office of the State of Goiás considers as improperly registered ICMS 2016-2017 R$ 1.0 million (approximately $ 0.2 ) (a) Aug-20 ICMS 2017-2019 R$ 698.6 million (approximately $ 134.8 ) Oct-20 Federal excise taxes, which the Treasury Office of the Brazil’s Internal Revenue Service considers as improperly calculated IPI 2016-2017 R$ 364.0 million (approximately $ 70.2 ) Nov-20 State sales taxes, which the Treasury Office of the State of Minas Gerais considers as improperly calculated ICMS 2016-2019 R$ 198.1 million (approximately $ 38.2 ) Jun-21 State sales tax, which the Treasury Office of the State of Goiás considers as improperly calculated ICMS 2016-2020 R$ 79.4 million (approximately $ 15.3 ) (a) During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, assessments amounting in R$ 360.7 million (approximately $ 66.6 ) were dismissed by the Goiás State Treasury's Attorney Office in favor of the Company. All cases are currently in the administrative process. The Company is seeking favorable administrative decisions on the tax enforcement actions filed by the tax authorities for these assessments. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and it has not recognized a loss for these assessments as the Company does not believe a loss is probable. Due to the fiscal environment in Brazil, the possibility of further tax assessments related to the same or similar matters cannot be ruled out. Other Commitments At June 30, 2022, the aggregate future minimum purchase obligations, which include commitments to purchase inventory and other services agreements, were as follows: Fiscal Year Ending June 30, Purchase Obligations 2023 $ 647.3 2024 39.4 2025 9.3 2026 8.5 2027 1.5 Thereafter 1.3 Total $ 707.3 27. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Performance Guarantee In connection with the sales of certain businesses, the Company has assigned its rights and obligations under a real estate lease to JAB Partners LLP. The remaining term of this lease is approximately nine years . While the Company is no longer the primary obligor under this lease, the lessor has not completely released the Company from its obligation, and holds it secondarily liable in the event that the assignee defaults on the lease. The maximum potential future payments that the Company could be required to make, if the assignee was to default as of June 30, 2022, would be approximately $ 4.5 . The Company has assessed the probability of default by the assignee and has determined it to be remote. Equity Transfer Agreement In connection with the Award granted to the Company’s CEO on June 30, 2021, Cottage Holdco B.V. has agreed to transfer to her (either directly or through contributing to the Company) one-half of the total number of shares of Common Stock owed to her if and when the Award vests. See Note 24—Share-Based Compensation Plans for more information on the Award. F-65 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) Relationship with KKR As noted in Note 23—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock, in fiscal 2020 KKR Aggregator purchased Series B Preferred Stock. This preferred stock conveyed to KKR Aggregator the right to designate two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors and voting rights on an as-converted basis. On November 16, 2020, KKR Aggregator and affiliated investment funds agreed to sell 146,057 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to HFS Holdings S.à r.l, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg that is beneficially owned by Peter Harf, a director of the Company. The transaction, which was subject to customary closing conditions, closed on August 27, 2021. In June of 2020, KKR Bidco and Coty entered into a separate definitive agreement regarding a strategic transaction (“Wella Transaction”) for the sale of the Company’s Professional and Retail Hair business, which was completed on November 30, 2020. Refer to Note 23—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock for the definitive agreement entered into with KKR that closed on October 20, 2021. On September 10, 2021, KKR Aggregator converted a portion of its Series B Preferred Stock into Class A common stock of the Company and completed a secondary public offering of the converted shares of Class A common stock. Refer to Note 23—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock. On October 20, 2021, the Company completed the sale of a 9.4 % stake in Wella to KKR Aggregator in the First Exchange. On November 10, 2021, KKR Aggregator converted 123,219 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and $ 1.2 of unpaid dividends into 19,944,701 shares of Class A common stock.

On November 30, 2021, Coty completed the sale of an additional 4.7 % stake in Wella to KKR Aggregator in the Second Exchange, reducing the Company’s total shareholding in the Wella Company to 25.9 %. Refer to Note 23—Equity and Convertible Preferred Stock. Following the Second Exchange, KKR no longer holds any preferred stock of the Company and no longer has the right to designate any directors to the Company's Board of Directors. During fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, fees of $ 0.0 , $ 7.6 and $ 25.5 , respectively, were incurred with KKR in connection with the initial and second closings of the Series B Preferred Stock; these fees reduced the carrying value of the stock. The Company also entered into agreements with KKR for potential consulting and advisory services. No fees were incurred under such agreements in fiscal years 2022, 2021 or 2020. From time to time, certain funds held by KKR may hold the Company’s Senior Secured and Unsecured Notes (as defined in Note 15—Debt). These funds may receive principal and interest payments on the same terms as other investors in the Company’s Senior Secured and Unsecured Notes. Wella As of June 30, 2022, Coty owns 25.9 % of the Wella Company as an equity investment and performs certain services to Wella. Refer to Note 13—Equity Investments. In connection with the sale of the Wella Business, the Company and Wella entered into a Transitional Services Agreement (“TSA”). Subject to the terms of this TSA, the Company will perform services for Wella in exchange for related service fees. Such services include billing and collecting from Wella customers, certain logistics and warehouse services, as well as other administrative and systems support. The Company and Wella have mutually agreed to end the contracted TSA services on January 31, 2022. The Company and Wella have also entered into other manufacturing and distribution arrangements to facilitate the Wella Business transition in the U.S. and Brazil. TSA fees and other fees earned were $ 87.5 and $ 6.7 , respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2022 and $ 86.6 and $ 3.4 , respectively for the seven months ended June 30, 2021. The TSA fees are principally invoiced on a cost plus basis. The TSA fees and other fees were included in Selling, general and administrative expenses and Cost of sales, respectively, in the Company's Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2022, accounts receivable from and accounts payable to Wella of $ 70.2 and $ 4.7 , respectively, were included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, in the Company's Balance Sheets. Additionally, as of June 30, 2022, the Company has accrued $ 72.3 related to long-term payables due to Wella included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. In accordance with the separation agreement with Wella, Coty shall retain and be solely responsible for any amounts payable to former Coty employees transferred to Wella (“Wella employees”), who participated in the Coty Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Wella employees will continue to participate and vest on the current terms for the remaining vesting period after the separation. As such, Coty will continue to recognize the share-based compensation expense for Wella employees until the existing equity awards reach their vesting date. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Coty recorded $ 0.7 and $ 2.3 of F-66 COTY INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ($ in millions, except per share data) share-based compensation expense related to Wella employees, which was presented as part of Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has certain sublease arrangements with Wella after the sale. For the year ended June 30, 2022 and the seven months June 30, 2021, the Company reported sublease income of $ 13.3 and $ 9.1 from Wella. Orveda The disinterested members of the Board reviewed and approved the entry into a license agreement with Orveda, an ultra-premium skincare brand co-founded by Coty’s CEO, Sue Nabi. Ms. Nabi has no continuing formal role at Orveda or economic interest in Orveda as a result of divesting her interests which was settled in cash in December 2021; however her business partner and co-founder, Nicolas Vu, is the sole owner and CEO of Orveda, and Mr. Vu also provides consulting services, related to the skincare category and Orveda positioning, to Coty under the terms of a separate agreement. The initial term of the Orveda license agreement is five years , with two five-year automatic renewals subject to the achievement of certain net revenue milestones. The principal terms of the license agreement are consistent with other Coty prestige licenses and the Board determined that the terms were no more favorable than to an unaffiliated third party. Consulting Services and Other Arrangements The Company had engaged certain affiliates of JAB to provide us with marketing technology services on customary market terms. As of June 30, 2020, these arrangements were no longer in effect. In addition, the Company’s former subsidiary, Beamly, entered into service agreements with affiliates of JAB for the provision of digital media services on customary market terms. Fees under each of these arrangements totaled less than $ 1.0 in fiscal 2020. Beatrice Ballini, a director, serves as a senior member of the Retail Practice and a leader of the Board and CEO Advisory Partners group at Russell Reynolds Associates. From time to time, the Company has engaged Russell Reynolds Associates, a global leadership and search firm, for recruiting assistance. The amounts of such services provided to the Company for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $ 0.7 , $ 2.3 and $ 0.6 , respectively. In connection with the appointment of Fiona Hughes as the Company’s former Chief Marketing Officer, Consumer Beauty, the Company agreed in principle to a secondment arrangement with Jacobs Douwe Egberts B.V., an affiliate of JAB, for the reimbursement of certain employment-related expenses through a transition period that ended February 2020.
