*** Coty Inc Net revenues, Operating Loss -reported and Operating (loss) income -Adjusted, shows the combined activities of the total Coty Inc. to allow investors to compare to our prior financial results.

Highlights

  • FY20 Total Coty net revenues decreased 22% reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis, with a Q4 LFL decline of (53%) for Total Coty and (60%) for Continuing Operations, which exclude the revenues and directly attributable costs of the to-be-divested Wella business
  • Coty has seen gradual sales trend improvement from April through June, with significant improvements in July and August across the portfolio
  • Coty expects to return to profitability in Q1 FY21 on an adjusted operating income basis for Continuing Operations
  • FY20 Total Coty adjusted operating income of $161.4 million and adjusted operating loss of $161.7 million for Continuing Operations, were weighed down by significant deleverage from over $1 billion of lost sales primarily due to COVID-19
  • Q4 free cash outflow of $316.4 million was inline with guidance of outflow of $300-500 million
  • Significant immediate liquidity of $1,618.1 million at the end of Q4 includes $750 million of KKR direct investments, with remaining $250 million received on July 31, 2020
  • Divestiture of 60% of Wella business to KKR on track to close by end of CY20

Commenting on the operating results, Peter Harf, Coty's founder and Executive Chairman, said:

"Coty’s fourth quarter was marked by external shocks, as the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a crisis in the real economy and supply. The severe sales contraction for total Coty, with revenues down $1.2 billion year-over-year, led to significant operating deleverage in the quarter, even as the company focused all its efforts on protecting free cash flow which came in inline with our expectations. Having said that, we now close this chapter and turn to the next, because Coty is back. In the last two months, we have seen a significant improvement in the business and we expect the positive momentum to continue, with a return to profit in Q1.

In the last three months that I have been CEO, my focus has been to re-steer the company back on track to realize its potential. We have taken decisive action to tackle the issues in our capital structure, financial under-performance, product portfolio, and management.

In order to lower Coty’s leverage and strengthen our balance sheet, in the midst of the pandemic Coty secured a $1 billion direct investment from KKR and entered into an agreement to sell 60% of Wella for $2.5 billion net cash proceeds, equating to over 12x Wella's FY19 EBITDA.

To address our financial performance, the team has set rigorous objectives for FY21, targeting adjusted operating income profitability in Q1 and for the full year, and constant like-for-like net debt – excluding proceeds from the Wella divestiture - supported by aggressive cost reductions and a simplified infrastructure and organization. We remain on track to deliver over 1/3 of the savings from our $600M fixed cost reduction program by the end of this year.

On our portfolio, we have taken concrete steps to re-balance and strengthen the portfolio to be competitive in light of changing consumer demands. We have begun building platforms to address our under-exposure in skincare, Northern Asia, and e-commerce, while at the same time creating space for additional brand building investment.

Finally, in July, we recruited Sue Nabi, a proven-successful leader with over 20 years of beauty experience across the areas which are most relevant to Coty. We firmly believe she has the ideal prerequisites to become CEO of Coty.

As a result of these changes, I am even more convinced the new Coty today is set up for strategic optionality and has more potential than ever before to unlock and create value."

Financial Results

Note: Discussions of "Total Coty" results reflect the current full scope of Coty's revenues and costs; "Continuing Operations" results reflect Total Coty results less the revenues and directly attributable costs of the soon-to-be-divested Wella business; "Ongoing Coty" results reflect Continuing Operations plus a partial cost recovery expected under the Wella transitional service agreement (the “Wella TSA”) which the company believes such information will be useful to investors to analyze the balance of costs for the ongoing business.

Revenues - Continuing Operations:

  • FY20 reported net revenues of $4,717.8 million decreased 25.0% year-over-year, including a negative foreign exchange (FX) impact of 2.0%. Like-for-like (LFL) revenue decreased 20.3%. The LFL performance was driven by LFL decreases in EMEA of 18.5%, the Americas of 21.5%, and Asia Pacific of 22.4%.
  • 4Q20 reported net revenues of $560.4 million decreased 62.8% year-over-year, including a negative foreign exchange (FX) impact of 2.0%. Like-for-like (LFL) revenue decreased 59.7%. The LFL performance was driven by LFL decreases in the EMEA segment of 67.2%, Asia Pacific of 57.5%, and Americas of 51.5%, with the mass business down 39% and the prestige business down a more meaningful 70% due to broad-based channel closures during the quarter.

Gross Margin - Continuing Operations:

  • FY20 reported gross margin of 57.8% decreased by 250 bps from the prior year, while the adjusted gross margin of 58.1% decreased by 230 bps, primarily due to the decline in sales volume related to COVID-19, increased excess and obsolescence expense, and underutilization expenses related to the temporary shutdown of certain manufacturing plants in response to COVID-19.
  • 4Q20 reported gross margin of 40.0% decreased from 60.9% in the prior-year period, while the adjusted gross margin of 40.6% decreased from 60.8% in the prior-year period, primarily due to the decline in sales volume related to COVID-19, increased excess and obsolescence expense on the back of the sudden demand decline, and underutilization expenses related to the temporary shutdown of certain manufacturing plants.

Operating Income:

  • FY20 reported operating loss from Continuing Operations of $1,236.5 million improved compared to reported operating loss of $3,688.4 million in the prior year due to an impairment charge of $3.7 billion in the prior year. The 4Q20 reported operating loss from Continuing Operations of $920.5 million improved from a reported operating loss of $2,744.4 million due to an impairment charge of $2.8 billion in the prior-year period. Coty recorded an impairment charge of $393.6 million in 4Q20 driven by a higher discount rate as a function of the stock price decline.
  • FY20 adjusted operating loss for Continuing Operations totaled $161.7 million compared to adjusted operating income of $490.8 million in the prior year, with the FY20 adjusted operating margin of (3.4%) declining from 7.8% in the prior year driven by the lower gross margin and fixed cost deleveraging during the second half of FY20. Including the expected cost recovery under the Wella TSA, the FY20 adjusted operating loss for Ongoing Coty totaled $110 million with a margin of (2.3%) compared to adjusted operating income of $543 million and margin of 8.6% in the prior year.
  • 4Q20 adjusted operating loss for Continuing Operations of $335.3 million declined from adjusted operating income of $126.2 million in the prior year. With the Total Coty 4Q20 adjusted operating income declining by over $570 million, this year-over-year decline reflected roughly $50 million of non-recurring costs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including incremental excess & obsolescence, bad debt and plant under-utilization costs, and over 40% drop-through on the $1.2 billion sales decline. Including the expected cost recovery under the Wella TSA, the 4Q20 adjusted operating loss for Ongoing Coty of $322 million declined from income of $139 million in the prior year period.

Net Income:

Continuing Operations:

  • FY20 reported net loss of $1,100.4 million improved from a reported net loss of $3,905.2 million in the prior year, and the 4Q20 reported net loss of $696.2 million improved from a reported net loss of $2,783.0 million in the prior year.
  • The FY20 adjusted net loss of $364.2 million declined from adjusted net income of $144.2 million in the prior year.
  • The 4Q20 adjusted net loss declined to $353.7 million from adjusted net income of $22.4 million in the prior year period.

Coty Inc.:

  • FY20 reported net loss of $1,013.2 million improved from a reported net loss of $3,784.2 million in the prior year, and 4Q20 reported net loss of $772.8 million improved from a reported net loss of $2,799.4 million in the prior year period.
  • The FY20 adjusted net loss of $192.7 million declined from adjusted net income of $487.6 million in the prior year.
  • The 4Q20 adjusted net loss totaled $386.7 million versus adjusted net income of $123.6 million in the prior year.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) - diluted:

Continuing Operations:

  • FY20 reported loss per share of $(1.45) improved compared to $(5.20) in the prior year, and 4Q20 reported loss per share of $(0.91) improved from $(3.70) in the prior year.
  • The FY20 adjusted EPS of $(0.48) decreased from $0.19 in the prior year, and 4Q20 adjusted EPS of $(0.46) declined from $0.03 in the prior year. 4Q20 adjusted EPS included $6.5 million of preferred dividend associated with the KKR convertible preferred equity issued at the end of May and a diluted share count of 763.3 million due to the accounting treatment of convertible preferred equity in periods of net losses.

Coty Inc.:

  • FY20 reported loss per share of $(1.33) improved from $(5.04) in the prior year, and 4Q20 reported loss per share of $(1.01) improved from $(3.72) in the prior year.
  • The FY20 adjusted EPS of $(0.48) decreased from $0.19 in the prior year, and 4Q20 adjusted EPS of $(0.46) declined from $0.03 in the prior year.

Operating Cash Flow (Coty Inc.)

  • In FY20, net cash used in operating activities was $50.9 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $639.6 million in the prior-year period. The decline in operating cash flow was driven by the decline in net income on a cash basis, with minimal contribution from receivables factoring, as well as inventory management.
  • 4Q20 operating cash outflow totaled $255.4 million compared to operating cash inflow of $188.2 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the decline in net income on a cash basis partially offset by working capital inflow primarily related to increased receivables.
  • FY20 free cash outflow of $318.3 million declined from a free cash inflow of $213.0 million in the prior year, reflecting the operating cash flow decrease, partially offset by a $159.2 million decrease in capex. 4Q20 free cash outflow of $316.4 million declined from a free cash inflow of $92.5 million in the prior year driven by the operating cash flow decrease partially offset by a $35 million reduction in capex.

Net Debt (Coty Inc.)

  • Net debt of $7,848.0 on June 30, 2020 increased by $442.6 million from the balance of $7,405.4 million on June 30, 2019, and decreased $299.4 million from the balance of $8,147.4 million on March 31, 2020. The net debt reduction from 3Q20 reflected the $750 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred equity to KKR, partially offset by free cash outflow and an $86.8 million FX headwind on the debt balance.

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Coty Inc.)

  • Coty ended the year with $308.3 million in cash and cash equivalents after repaying $1,300 million of its $2,750.0 million revolving credit facility in 4Q20.

In FY20, Americas net revenues of $1,771.0 million or 38% of total Coty continuing operations, decreased by 21.3% versus the prior year. On a LFL basis, Americas net revenues decreased by 21.5%. Sales through the first half of the fiscal year were in line with our expectations, albeit pressured by a challenging mass beauty market coupled with shelf space losses within our mass beauty business. As the COVID-19 pandemic led to lockdowns and store closures beginning in March, sales came under significant pressure. Although we saw some recovery in sales off the April low, sales remained under pressure during both May and June. As a result, Americas reported a LFL net revenue decrease of 51.5% in 4Q20, with mass brands outperforming prestige brands as mass retailers remained open. While prestige retailers remained closed for much of the quarter and mass retailers saw decreased traffic and weakness in certain beauty categories, we continued to see demand shift to e-commerce, resulting in very strong e-commerce sell-out for both our mass and prestige brands off a smaller base.

During the quarter, we continued to make progress in our mass beauty business in the US, with our mass cosmetics brands gaining market share both off-line and online. CoverGirl US continued to see strength with its Clean Fresh launch, as well as very robust e-commerce growth, including continued market share gains on Amazon. In addition, Sally Hansen continued to generate very strong growth on and offline, supported in part by the Good.Kind.Pure launch, which has been the #1 color cosmetics launch since December 2019. We also saw strong relative performance by a number of our key prestige brands, with Gucci, Burberry and Tiffany growing share in the U.S.

The reported sales for the Americas segment benefited from the contribution from the Kylie Beauty partnership. During 4Q20, the brand was pressured due to the lockdown of its cosmetics third party manufacturer's fulfillment center during the majority of the quarter. However, Kylie Skin remained operable during the quarter, generating solid sales growth.

The Americas segment reported an operating loss of $164.8 million in FY20, compared to a reported operating loss of $1,474.5 million in the prior year. The FY20 adjusted operating loss was $89.5 million, down from adjusted operating income of $159.2 million in the prior year, driven by the reduced sales and resultant operating deleverage. The adjusted operating margin was (5.1)% versus 7.1% in the prior year. For 4Q20, the Americas segment reported an operating loss of $128.5 million, compared to a reported operating loss of $1,141.9 million in the prior-year period. For 4Q20, the adjusted operating loss was $102.9 million versus adjusted operating income of $51.0 million in the prior year. The 4Q20 adjusted operating margin was (38.9)% versus 9.2% in 4Q19.

In FY20, EMEA net revenues of $2,308.6 million, or 49% of total Coty continuing operations, decreased by 20.7% versus the prior year. On a LFL basis, EMEA net revenues decreased 18.5% in FY20. Similar to the Americas regions, results were largely in line with expectations for much of the year, and started to decline sharply due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the EMEA segment has seen monthly sequential improvement in trends since April, sales remained under significant pressure throughout 4Q20. This resulted in a 4Q20 LFL decline of 67.2% for the EMEA segment.

Despite the very tough market conditions, in our mass beauty business, we continued to gain market share with Rimmel in the U.K., as well as Bruno Banani in Germany and Poland. In our prestige business, we continued to gain market share in the region during 4Q20. In addition, both our prestige and mass businesses saw double- to triple-digit e-commerce sell-out growth across the region in 4Q20 off a smaller base.

Reported operating loss was $248.4 million in FY20 versus a reported operating loss of $1,344.1 million in the prior year. The FY20 adjusted operating loss of $18.0 million decreased from adjusted operating income of $253.3 million in the prior year, driven by the lower sales and resultant operating deleverage. For FY20, the adjusted operating margin declined to (0.8%) from 8.7% in FY19. For 4Q20, the reported operating loss was $318.0 million versus a reported operating loss of $1,070.8 million in the prior year. The adjusted operating loss of $182.4 million in 4Q20 decreased from an adjusted operating income of $56.0 million in 4Q19. For 4Q20, the adjusted operating margin declined to (86.4%) versus 8.4% in the prior year.

FY20 Asia Pacific net revenues of $582.7 million, or 12% of total Coty continuing operations, decreased 24.4% on a reported basis and declined 22.4% LFL. The decline was largely the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began impacting the region, particularly China and Travel Retail, earlier than other regions. During 4Q20, LFL trends improved sequentially each month since bottoming in April, though continued to be under significant pressure. As a result, 4Q20 Asia Pacific net revenues on a LFL basis decreased 57.5%.

While monthly sales trends in China continued to improve with each month from the February trough, sales in the country were weighed down by a higher exposure to brick & mortar retailers. Travel Retail sales also remained pressured in the region.

Reported operating loss in FY20 of $74.0 million compared to reported operating loss of $253.1 million in the prior year. The FY20 adjusted operating loss of $49.0 million declined from adjusted operating income of $61.7 million in the prior year, fueled by the operating deleverage on the declining sales. The FY20 adjusted operating margin of (8.4)% declined from 8.0% in the prior year. For 4Q20, the reported operating loss was $56.7 million versus a reported operating loss of $212.4 million in the prior-year period. The adjusted operating loss of $50.4 million in 4Q20 decreased from an adjusted operating income of $18.6 million in 4Q19. For 4Q20, the adjusted operating margin declined to (59.6)% from 9.0% in the prior year.

Luxury

  • FY20 Luxury net revenues of $2,606.4, or approximately 55% of Coty continuing operations, declined 20.9% as reported and declined 23.2% LFL. 4Q20 Luxury net revenues of $219.4 million, or approximately 39% of Coty continuing operations, declined 70.9% as reported and declined 73.3% LFL, with the reported sales aided by the inclusion of Kylie Beauty sales in the current quarter. Luxury experienced significant pressure during 4Q20 with many of the channels closed during a meaningful portion of the quarter, including department stores, perfumeries, specialty retailers, and travel retail. As retailers opened their doors, trends improved from the April low, but continued to be pressured. However, as consumer purchases shifted to e-commerce channels, e-commerce accounted for approximately 30% of Luxury sales in 4Q20. Kylie cosmetics sales in the quarter were pressured by the closure and ensuing supply constraints of the brand's third party partner, while Kylie skincare sales grew solidly supported by strong activations as well as the launch of the brand at Douglas in Europe.

Consumer Beauty

  • FY20 Consumer Beauty net revenues of $2,111.0, or approximately 45% of Coty continuing operations, declined 29.5% as reported and declined 23.4% LFL. 4Q20 Consumer Beauty net revenues of $340.7 million, or approximately 61% of Coty continuing operations, declined 54.7% as reported and declined 47.9% LFL, with the reported sales decline pressured by the inclusion of Younique revenues in the prior year period. Sales in this channel were pressured in 4Q20, as traffic to mass retailers and drugstores remained subdued globally, and consumers continued to emphasize purchasing of more essential personal care categories, resulting in underperformance for the color cosmetics category. At the same time, Coty saw significant growth in e-commerce sell-out across brick & click and pureplay e-retailers, including strong market share gains on Amazon in the U.S., U.K., and Germany. As a result, e-commerce accounted for approximately 10% of Consumer Beauty revenues in 4Q20.

When used herein, the term “includes” and “including” means, unless the context otherwise indicates, “including without limitation”. More information about potential risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is included under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and other periodic reports the Company has filed and may file with the SEC from time to time.

All forward-looking statements made in this release are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this release, and the Company does not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by applicable law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, or changes in future operating results over time or otherwise.

Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of net revenues generated outside of the U.S. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect results of operations. Therefore, to supplement financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, certain financial information is presented excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations to provide a framework for assessing how the underlying businesses performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations (“constant currency”). Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period, with the current period’s results calculated at the prior-year period’s rates. The Company calculates constant currency information by translating current and prior-period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company discloses the following constant currency financial measures: net revenues, organic like-for-like (LFL) net revenues, adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income.

The Company presents period-over-period comparisons of net revenues on a constant currency basis as well as on an organic (LFL) basis. The Company believes that organic (LFL) better enables management and investors to analyze and compare the Company's net revenues performance from period to period. For the periods described in this release, the term “like-for-like” describes the Company's core operating performance, excluding the financial impact of (i) acquired brands or businesses in the current year period until we have twelve months of comparable financial results, (ii) the divested brands or businesses or early terminated brands, generally, in the prior year non-comparable periods, to maintain comparable financial results with the current fiscal year period and (iii) foreign currency exchange translations to the extent applicable. For a reconciliation of organic (LFL) period-over-period, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Reported Net Revenues to Like-For-Like Net Revenues”.

The Company presents operating income, operating income margin, gross profit, gross margin, effective tax rate, net income, net income margin, net revenues and EPS (diluted) on a non-GAAP basis and specifies that these measures are non-GAAP by using the term “adjusted” (collectively the Adjusted Performance Measures). The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in tables below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of the business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in the beauty industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Adjusted operating income from continuing operations excludes restructuring costs and business structure realignment programs, amortization, acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and acquisition accounting impacts, asset impairment charges and other adjustments as described below. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of such items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and significance. They are primarily incurred to realign our operating structure and integrate new acquisitions, and exclude divestitures, and fluctuate based on specific facts and circumstances. Additionally, Adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. and Adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. per common share are adjusted for certain interest and other (income) expense as described below and the related tax effects of each of the items used to derive Adjusted net income as such charges are not used by our management in assessing our operating performance period-to-period.

Adjusted Performance Measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

  • Costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities: The Company excludes acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and the accounting impacts such as those related to transaction costs and costs associated with the revaluation of acquired inventory in connection with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction. Additionally, for divestitures, the Company excludes write-offs of assets that are no longer recoverable and contract related costs due to the divestiture. The nature and amount of such costs vary significantly based on the size and timing of the acquisitions and divestitures, and the maturities of the businesses being acquired or divested. Also, the size, complexity and/or volume of past transactions, which often drives the magnitude of such expenses, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of any future acquisitions or divestitures.
  • Restructuring and other business realignment costs: The Company excludes costs associated with restructuring and business structure realignment programs to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. In addition, the nature and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. By excluding the referenced expenses from the non-GAAP financial measures, management is able to further evaluate the Company’s ability to utilize existing assets and estimate their long-term value. Furthermore, management believes that the adjustment of these items supplement the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance.
  • Asset impairment charges: The Company excludes the impact of asset impairments as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplement the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
  • Amortization expense: The Company excludes the impact of amortization of finite-lived intangible assets, as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Management believes that the adjustment of these items supplement the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance. Although the Company excludes amortization of intangible assets from the non-GAAP expenses, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.
  • Loss/(Gain) on divestitures and sale of brand assets: The Company excludes the impact of Loss/(gain) on divestitures and sale of brand assets as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the size of divestitures. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplement the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
  • Interest (income) expense: The Company excludes foreign currency impacts associated with acquisition-related and debt financing-related forward contracts, as well as debt financing transaction costs as the nature and amount of such charges are not consistent and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of such transactions.
  • Other expense: The Company excludes the impact of costs incurred for legal and advisory services rendered in connection with the evaluation of the tender offer initiated by certain of our shareholders. Our management believes these costs do not reflect our underlying ongoing business, and the adjustment of such costs helps investors and others compare and analyze performance from period to period. We have also excluded the impact of pension curtailment (gains) and losses and pension settlements as such events are triggered by our restructuring and other business realignment activities and the amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs.
  • Loss on early extinguishment of debt: We have excluded loss on extinguishment of debt as this represents a non-cash charge, and the amount and frequency of such charges is not consistent and is significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt financing transactions.
  • Noncontrolling interest: This adjustment represents the after-tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments included in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests based on the relevant non-controlling interest percentage.
  • Tax: This adjustment represents the impact of the tax effect of the pretax items excluded from Adjusted net income. The tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is based on the tax rates related to the jurisdiction in which the adjusted items are received or incurred.

The Company has provided a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between the non-GAAP financial measures and the financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to gross profit, adjusted EPS (diluted) to EPS (diluted), and adjusted net revenues to net revenues, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Reported to Adjusted Results for the Consolidated Statements of Operations.” For a reconciliation of adjusted operating income to operating income and adjusted operating income margin to operating income margin, see the tables entitled “Reconciliation of Reported Operating Income (Loss) to Adjusted Operating Income” and "Reconciliation of Reported Operating Income (Loss) to Adjusted Operating Income by Segment." For a reconciliation of adjusted effective tax rate to effective tax rate, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Reported Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rates to Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes and Adjusted Effective Tax Rates.” For a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income margin to net income (loss), see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Reported Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income.”

The Company also presents free cash flow, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), net debt and immediate liquidity. Management believes that these measures are useful for investors because it provides them with an important perspective on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures and provides them with the same measures that management uses as the basis for making resource allocation decisions. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures, adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income less depreciation and net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. For a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow,” for adjusted EBITDA, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to Adjusted EBITDA” and for net debt, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt.” Further, our immediate liquidity is defined as the sum of available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (please see table "Immediate Liquidity").

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

To the extent that the Company provides guidance, it does so only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for restructuring, integration and acquisition-related expenses, amortization expenses, adjustments to inventory, and other charges reflected in our reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

In preparing the calculation, each adjustment to reported income is first analyzed to determine if the adjustment has an income tax consequence. The provision for taxes is then calculated based on the jurisdiction in which the adjusted items are incurred, multiplied by the respective statutory rates and offset by the increase or reversal of any valuation allowances commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability.

(b) In fiscal 2020, the Company had gains of $14.6 primarily related to pension curtailment gains as a result of the Transformation plan, which significantly reduced the expected years of future service for employees participating in our non-U.S. pension plans. In fiscal 2019, the Company incurred legal and advisory services of $16.1 rendered in connection with the evaluation of the tender offer initiated by certain of our shareholders, partially offset by pension curtailment gains of $5.1 as a result of the Global Integration Activities, which significantly reduced the expected years of future service for employees participating in our non-U.S. pension plans.

(c) The amounts represent the after-tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments included in Net (Loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest based on the relevant noncontrolling interest percentage in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
