Forward guidance
The Company is revising its full fiscal year outlook, reflecting both outstanding performance year-to-date and additional headwinds that are impacting the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, including the COVID-related restrictions in China, that are also affecting its travel retail business, and the impact of the invasion of Ukraine.
Tailwinds
- Growth in developed markets in the west and brick-and-mortar retail driven by a continued recovery of the makeup and hair care categories as countries reduce COVID-19 restrictions.
- Targeted new distribution throughout the year to retailers that provide broader consumer reach.
- A continued gradual resumption of international travel in Europe and the Americas.
- Benefit from a nearly full year incremental impact of DECIEM in net sales and operating results.
- Incremental savings from the Post-COVID Business Acceleration Program and reinvestment in advertising and capabilities.
Headwinds
- Global volatility and variability is expected to continue, including inflation, supply chain disruption (including temporary reduced capacity at China distribution facilities), impacts related to current COVID-19 restrictions (primarily in Greater China including store closures, reduced traffic and less travel), and disruptions in Europe related to the invasion in Ukraine.
- Higher transportation and logistics costs are negatively impacting both cost of sales and operating expenses in the remainder of fiscal 2022.
- The Company expects to take charges associated with previously approved restructuring and other activities.
- Currency exchange rates are volatile and difficult to predict.
- The increase in ownership of DECIEM is expected to be $.02 dilutive to diluted earnings per common share.
