Coty Posts 8% Revenue Drop in Fiscal Q4
(NYSE:COTY), a leading global beauty company with a wide portfolio of fragrances, cosmetics, and skin care brands, released its Q4 FY2025 results on August 20, 2025. The key takeaway was that revenue for the quarter fell to $1,252.4 million, in line with management’s earlier signals for a weaker period as Coty reset inventories and scaled down shipments. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) (non-GAAP) was $(0.05). Adjusted EPS of $(0.05) missed the $0.013465 estimate and declined from last year’s $(0.03). Free cash flow for FY25 fell sharply year over year, and margin pressures persisted, especially in mass market beauty segments. The quarter delivered results broadly as expected, providing a reset for Coty’s innovation plans heading into FY2026, though clear challenges remain in U.S. color cosmetics and Consumer Beauty division profitability.
