Avon Reports First-Quarter 2013 Results

NEW YORK, April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Avon Products, Inc. (NYSE: AVP) today reported first-quarter 2013 results. "Our first-quarter results reflect continued signs of stabilization, including early progress in our cost reduction efforts," said Sheri McCoy, Chief Executive Officer. "I'm pleased with the performance of our Latin America and Europe, Middle East & Africa regions, particularly in Brazil and Russia. The teams there are focused on ensuring that this performance is sustainable. As for our other markets, there remains work to be done, particularly in the U.S."

First-Quarter 2013 (compared with first-quarter 2012)

For the first quarter of 2013, total revenue of $2.5 billion decreased 4%, but was relatively unchanged in constant dollars. Total units decreased 3% and price/mix increased 3% during the quarter. Active Representatives⁽²⁾ increased 1%.

Avon Beauty sales declined 5%, or 1% in constant dollars. On a reported basis, fragrance grew 1%, while personal care, color and skincare declined 3%, 6% and 12%, respectively. On a constant-dollar basis, fragrance increased 6% and personal care was unchanged, while color and skincare declined 2% and 9%, respectively.

First-quarter 2013 gross margin was 62.1%. Adjusted gross margin was 62.5%, 160 basis points higher than the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower freight costs, as well as lower material costs, including the benefits from productivity initiatives.

Operating profit was $172 million and operating margin was 6.9% in the quarter. Operating profit was negatively impacted by $20 million associated with costs to implement ("CTI") restructuring and $13 million associated with the highly inflationary accounting for a 32% devaluation of the Venezuelan currency. Adjusted operating profit was $206 million and adjusted operating margin was 8.3%, 450 basis points higher than the first quarter of 2012.  The increase was due to gross margin improvement, lower advertising expenses, primarily in Brazil, and lower professional fees associated with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") investigation and compliance reviews. Additionally, operating margin benefited from lower bad debt expenses, primarily in South Africa, due to a one-time adjustment in the prior-year quarter.

During the first-quarter 2013, as part of the Company's refinancing activities, the Company prepaid the $535 million of outstanding private notes plus a make-whole premium. Additionally, the Company repaid $380 million of the outstanding term loan principal. These repayments resulted in a $73 million pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt.

In addition to the impact to operating profit, the 32% Venezuelan currency devaluation resulted in a one-time charge of $34 million in other expense, net, associated with monetary net assets and $17 million in income taxes, associated with deferred tax benefits.

First-quarter 2013's effective tax rate was 146.1%, versus 32.3% in the first quarter of 2012. The tax rate was unfavorably impacted by the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 33.6%, versus 32.9% in the first quarter of 2012.

First-quarter 2013 net loss was $13 million, or a loss of $.03 per share. Adjusted net income was $112 million, or $.26 per share.

Operating activities used $119 million of cash during the first quarter of 2013 compared with $33 million in the first quarter of 2012, unfavorably impacted primarily by the make-whole premium on the Company's private notes, higher payments for employee incentive compensation and restructuring, and higher inventory levels. Partially offsetting these items were higher levels of accounts payable and lower income tax payments. The overall net cash provided in the first quarter was $279 million, which compares with the use of $30 million in first-quarter 2012, and this was primarily due to proceeds related to the issuance of debt, partially offset by debt repayment and cash used for operations.

Avon's net debt (total debt less cash) for the first quarter of 2013 was $2.1 billion, up $160 million from the year-end level.

Adjustments to First-Quarter GAAP Results

During the first quarter of 2013, the following items had a significant impact on the financial results:

• As a result of the 32% devaluation of Venezuelan currency, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $34 million in other expense, net and $17 million in income taxes, primarily reflecting the write-down of monetary net assets and deferred tax benefits, respectively. In addition, as a result of using the U.S. historic dollar cost basis of non-monetary assets, such as inventory, first-quarter 2013 operating profit was negatively impacted by approximately $13 million. These items had a negative impact of $.15 per share.
• The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $73 million pre-tax, or $.11 per share, associated with the prepayment of the $535 million outstanding principal of the Company's private notes, including a make-whole premium, and the repayment of $380 million of the outstanding term loan principal.
• The Company also recorded CTI restructuring charges, within operating profit, of $20 million pre-tax, or $.03 per share.

Adjusted operating profit						112.8		103%
Operating margin						8.9%		450 bps
Adjusted operating margin						9.9%		510 bps

• First-quarter constant-dollar revenue growth was primarily due to an increase in Active Representatives as well as higher average order.
• Brazil revenue was down 2%, or up 11% in constant dollars, primarily driven by increases in both average order and Active Representatives. Brazil's revenue included an approximate two point benefit, which had an approximate one point benefit to the region's revenue growth, from the initial realization of a government incentive that was recognized in the first quarter of 2013, associated with activity in prior years.
• Mexico revenue was up 6%, or 3% in constant dollars, primarily driven by an increase in Active Representatives, partially offset by the negative impact of the timing of the Easter holiday.
• Venezuela revenue was down 15%, or up 3% in constant dollars, as average order benefited from the year-over-year inflationary impact on pricing. This growth was substantially offset by a decrease in Active Representatives, which was driven by continued economic and political instability.  
• The increase in Adjusted operating margin was primarily due to lower advertising, primarily in Brazil, the favorable impact of revenue leverage, and lower net brochure costs, partially offset by increased incentives and field compensation.

• Russia revenue was up 3%, or up 4% in constant dollars, primarily due to an increase in Active Representatives, partially offset by lower average order.
• U.K. revenue was down 9%, or down 8% in constant dollars, primarily due to a decrease in Active Representatives.
• Turkey revenue was down 2%, both in reported and constant dollars, as lower average order was partially offset by an increase in Active Representatives.
• South Africa revenue was down 11%, or up 2% in constant dollars, primarily due to higher average order, partially offset by a decrease in Active Representatives.
• Adjusted operating margin increased, primarily due to higher gross margin largely due to lower material and overhead costs, including the benefits from productivity initiatives. Adjusted operating margin was also favorably impacted by lower bad debt expense, primarily in South Africa, and lower net brochure costs.

• First-quarter North America revenue declined 15%, primarily due to a decrease in Active Representatives and, to a lesser extent, lower average order.
• The North America Avon business revenue declined 15%, as it continues to be challenged by disruption in the field due to redistricting in the U.S., as well as other operational challenges.
• North America Silpada revenue declined 21%.
• The decline in Adjusted operating margin was primarily due to revenue deleverage on fixed expenses, partially offset by lower expenses resulting from our cost-savings initiatives. Adjusted operating margin was also negatively impacted by lower gross margin in the Silpada business, primarily due to a Representative cash incentive program, which reduced revenue, and higher obsolescence costs.

• First-quarter constant-dollar revenue decreased due to lower average order and a decrease in Active Representatives.
• Revenue in China declined 30%, or 31% in constant dollars, primarily due to declines in unit sales and the transition to a retail incentive model.
• Revenue in the Philippines was down 1%, or 6% in constant dollars, as the market has experienced operational challenges, including weaker service levels.
• The region's adjusted operating margin increase was primarily driven by benefits from restructuring savings and lower incentive compensation, as well as lower selling expenses, primarily in China, due to the transition to a retail compensation model in that market. Partially offsetting these items was lower gross margin, caused primarily by product mix.

Footnotes

(1) "Adjusted" items refer to financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that have been adjusted to exclude certain costs as described below, under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

(2)   In the first quarter of 2013, we renamed our "Growth in Active Representatives" performance metric to be referred to as "Change in Active Representatives." In addition, we revised the definition of this metric to exclude China. As previously disclosed, our business in China is predominantly retail, and as a result, we do not believe including China within the Change in Active Representatives calculation provides for a relevant indicator of underlying business trends. There were no changes to the underlying calculation other than the exclusion of China.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: revenue, operating profit, Adjusted operating profit, operating margin, and Adjusted operating margin. We refer to these adjusted financial measures as Constant $ or constant-dollar items, which are Non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, we calculate current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

We also present gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, net global expenses, operating profit, operating margin, net income and loss, and effective tax rate on a Non-GAAP basis. The discussion of our segments presents operating profit and operating margin on a Non-GAAP basis. We have provided a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between the Non-GAAP financial measure and the financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses the Non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operating performance and believes that it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of, on a period-to-period basis, the impacts of 1) CTI restructuring initiatives, 2) costs and charges related to Venezuela being designated as a highly inflationary economy and the subsequent devaluation of its currency in February 2013 ("Venezuelan special items") and 3) costs and charges related to the extinguishment of debt ("Loss on extinguishment of debt"). The Company believes investors find the Non-GAAP information helpful in understanding the ongoing performance of operations separate from items that may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company's financial results in any particular period.

The Venezuelan special items include the impact on the Statement of Income caused by the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency on monetary assets and liabilities, such as cash, receivables and payables; deferred tax assets and liabilities; and non-monetary assets, such as inventory and prepaid expenses. For non-monetary assets, the Venezuelan special items include the earnings impact caused by the difference between the historical cost of the assets at the previous official exchange rate of 4.30 and the revised official exchange rate of 6.30. The Loss on extinguishment of debt includes the impact on the Statement of Income caused by the make-whole premium and the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the prepayment of our Private Notes, as well as the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the early repayment of $380 million of the outstanding principal amount of the term loan agreement.

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.

* Calculation not meaningful
(1)	In the first quarter of 2013, we revised the definition of Active Representatives to exclude China. As previously disclosed, our business in China is predominantly retail, and as a result, we do not believe including China within the Change in Active Representatives calculation provides for a relevant indicator of underlying business trends. There were no changes to the underlying calculation other than the exclusion of China.
(2)	For a further discussion on our Non-GAAP ("Adjusted") financial measures, please refer to our discussion of Non-GAAP financial measures in this release and reconciliations of our Non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP financial measure in the following supplemental schedules.
