Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $492.6, $614.6 and $625.7 for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
+Added: The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $122.0 in fiscal 2025 as compared with fiscal 2024 was mainly driven by the impact of higher cash outflows from working capital, primarily reflecting changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses and inventories.
+Added: The higher cash outflows from accounts payable and accrued expenses were driven by a change in the mix of suppliers with shorter payment cycles, while lower cash inflows from inventory year-over-year reflect the prior year decreases in safety stock.
+Added: Working capital cash flows also reflect the impact of the prior-year Wella reimbursement for working capital which did not recur in the current year.
+Added: The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by lower cash outflows related to the timing of payments for income taxes.
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $11.1 in fiscal 2024 as compared with fiscal 2023 is primarily the result of a negative impact from changes in accounts payable due to the timing of payments and mix of vendor terms, higher cash outflows from the timing of income tax related payments and changes in trade receivables reflecting higher net revenues with an unfavorable customer mix and decreases from lower factoring.

−Removed: The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $100.9 in fiscal 2023 as compared with fiscal 2022 is primarily driven by an overall net decrease in cash from working capital partially offset by an increase in cash related net income.
−Removed: The net decrease in cash from working capital was mainly the result of changes in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and increased inventory levels in fiscal 2023, partially offset by positive impacts from changes in trade receivables.

+Added: These impacts were partially offset by the non-recurring proceeds during the prior year from early license termination.
The increase in cash used in investing activities of $108.0 in fiscal 2024 as compared with fiscal 2023 was primarily due to lower current year proceeds related to the early termination of the Lacoste license agreement and proceeds from sale of other long-term assets combined with the impact of an increase in capital expenditures.
The year over year increases in cash used in investing activities were partially offset by the current year collection of contingent consideration.
−Removed: The decrease in cash flows provided by investing activities of $387.9 in fiscal 2023 as compared with fiscal 2022 was mainly attributable to the prior year cash received from return of capital from one of our equity investments which did not reoccur during fiscal 2023.
−Removed: Additionally, the prior year included higher proceeds from the sales of long-lived assets and the positive impact from the receipt of contingent proceeds related to the Wella Business tax credits partially offset with higher capital expenditures in the current year.

+Added: This was partially offset by higher net proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility and lower cash payments for deferred financing fees in the current year.
+Added: Net cash used in financing activities as it relates to the forward repurchase contracts was relatively flat year-over-year, reflecting the cash payment for the settlement of the June 2022 forward repurchase contract in the prior year, and cash payments and refund for the hedge valuation adjustments in the current year.
The decrease in cash used in financing activities of $132.6 in fiscal 2024 as compared to fiscal 2023 was primarily driven by the current year net proceeds from the issuance of Class A Common Stock in connection with the global offering and lower cash payments related to the Company’s financing related foreign currency contracts in the current year compared to the prior year.

−Removed: The decrease in cash used in financing activities of $564.7 in fiscal 2023 as compared to fiscal 2022 was primarily driven by higher cash outflows in the prior year for net paydowns of the Company's revolving credit facility and other long term debt balances as well, as higher payments of deferred financing fees, and higher dividend payments on Series B Preferred Stock.
−Removed: Additionally, lower cash payments in the current year for the settlement of foreign currency contracts contributed to the overall decrease in use of cash but were partially offset by cash payments related to the Company's forward repurchase contracts.

+Added: As part of the May 1, 2025 annual impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our CoverGirl, Max Factor, Sally Hansen, and Philosophy trademarks exceeded their carrying values by approximately 0.2%, 7.2%, 2.5%, and 3.6%, using annual revenue growth rates ranging from (7.7)%-5.4%, (6.1)%-2.0%, (11.1)%-9.0%, and (4.9)%-2.0%, and a discount rate of 11.95%, 14.0%, 11.25%, and 11.25%, respectively.

+Added: While the Company believes it has made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair values of our trademarks, it is possible changes could occur.
+Added: As for our trademarks, the most significant assumptions used are the revenue growth rate and the discount rate, a decrease in the revenue growth rate or an increase in the discount rate could result in a future impairment.
+Added: The Company will continue to monitor its trademarks for any triggering events or other signs of impairment.
+Added: The Company may be required to perform additional impairment testing based on changes in the economic environment, disruptions to the Company’s business, significant declines in operating results of the Company’s reporting units and/or trademarks, further sustained deterioration of the Company’s market capitalization, and other factors, which could result in impairment charges in the future.
Although management cannot predict when improvements in macroeconomic conditions will occur, if consumer confidence and consumer spending decline significantly in the future or if commercial and industrial economic activity or the market capitalization deteriorates significantly from current levels, it is reasonably likely the Company will be required to record impairment charges in the future.
