Revlon’s Notable Acquisitions So Far In 2016

  • On June 6th, Revlon acquired the nail brand, Cutex International, business from Coty. The Cutex International business mainly operates in the U.K. and in Australia. Revlon already owned a part of Cutex and with this acquisition, Revlon completed the global consolidation of Cutex’s worldwide operations under its own brand portfolio. Revlon aims to redesign some of Cutex’s nail care products and expand the portfolio of offerings so that it appeals to a wider customer base.
  • Also in June, Revlon announced its decision to acquire premium cosmetics company Elizabeth Arden for $870 million. Post the Elizabeth Arden deal, the role of fragrance in Revlon’s category mix is expected to increase from 4% to around 28%. This increased dominance of fragrance is expected to increase Revlon’s market share in the global antiperspirants, deodorants, and fragrance market. According to Revlon’s CEO Fabian Garcia, this deal will place Revlon among the top 20 global beauty companies. The combined business is expected to generate ~$3 billion in annual sales and $517 million in annual adjusted EBITDA.
