PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Business
Background
Revlon, Inc. ("Revlon" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") conducts its business exclusively through its direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation") and its subsidiaries. Revlon is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated (together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, "MacAndrews & Forbes"), a corporation beneficially owned by Ronald O. Perelman. Mr. Perelman is Chairman of Revlon's and Products Corporation's Board of Directors.
The Company was founded over 89 years ago by Charles Revson, who revolutionized the cosmetics industry by introducing nail enamels matched to lipsticks in fashion colors. Today, the Company continues Revson's legacy by producing and marketing innovative products that address consumers' wants and needs for beauty and personal care products.
The Company is a leading global beauty company with an iconic portfolio of brands. The Company develops, manufactures, markets, distributes and sells worldwide an extensive array of beauty and personal care products, including color cosmetics, hair color, hair care and hair treatments, fragrances, skin care, beauty tools, men’s grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants and other beauty care products across a variety of distribution channels. The Company is entrepreneurial, agile and boldly creative, with a passion for beauty. The Company has a diverse portfolio of iconic brands that it continues to evolve and transform, with the goal of inspiring and attracting consumers around the world wherever and however they shop for beauty. The Company is committed to operating as an ethical business and driving sustainable and responsible growth.
Business Strategy
The Company remains focused on its 3 key strategic pillars to drive its future success and growth. First, strengthening its iconic brands through innovation and relevant product portfolios; second, building its capabilities to better communicate and connect with its consumers through media channels where they spend the most time; and third, ensuring availability of its products where consumers shop, both in-store and increasingly online. The Company also continues to deliver against the objectives of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, which includes rightsizing our organization with the objectives of driving improved profitability, cash flow and liquidity. The Company is also managing the business to conserve cash and liquidity, as well as focusing on stabilizing the business, growing e-commerce and preparing the foundation for achieving future growth.
Strategic Review
In August 2019, it was disclosed that MacAndrews & Forbes and the Company determined to explore strategic transactions involving the Company and third parties. This review is ongoing and remains focused on exploring potential options for the Company's portfolio and regional brands (the “Strategic Review”).

Marketing
The Company uses various marketing techniques depending on the brand, type of product or target customer, among other variables. For its mass retail products, the Company markets its extensive product lines covering a broad range of price points within large volume retailers and e-commerce sites in the U.S. and within large volume retailers and other retailers internationally. The Company uses social media and other digital marketing, television, outdoor and print advertising and public relations and influencer marketing, as well as point-of-sale merchandising, including displays and samples, coupons and other trial incentives. The Company coordinates its marketing and advertising campaigns for new product launches and innovation with an omni-channel approach. The Company develops, jointly with retailers, customized, tailored point-of-purchase and other focused marketing programs.
The Company also uses cooperative advertising programs, Company-paid or Company-subsidized demonstrators and coordinates in-store promotions and displays. Other marketing strategies, including trial-size products and couponing, are designed to introduce the Company's newest products to consumers and encourage trial and purchase in-store.
For Elizabeth Arden products, the Company’s approach is focused on generating strong retailer and consumer demand across its key brands. The Company emphasizes a competitive marketing mix for each brand and implements plans that are designed to ensure that each brand's positioning is carried through consistently across all consumer touch points. The Company is increasingly leveraging new media, such as social networking and mobile and digital applications, along with traditional consumer reach vehicles, such as television and magazine print advertising, to engage with its consumers through their personally-preferred technologies. Marketing programs for the Company's Elizabeth Arden brands are also integrated with significant cooperative advertising programs that the Company plans and executes with its retailers, often linked with new product innovation and promotions.
For products primarily sold to professional salons and distributors, the Company markets products through educational seminars on such products' application methods and consumer benefits. In addition, the Company uses professional trade advertising, social media and other digital marketing, displays and samples to communicate to professionals and consumers the quality and performance characteristics of its products. In some countries, the Company's direct sales force provides customers with point of sale communication and merchandising for its professional products.
The Company believes that its presence in professional salons benefits the marketing and sale of its products sold through other channels, such as mass retailers or specialty stores, as it enables the Company to improve many of its other product categories, such as hair color, hair care, nail color, nail care and skin care. The presence of regional brands internationally provides the Company with broader brand, geographic coverage and retail diversification beyond large volume retailers, among others.
Additionally, the Company maintains many brand-specific websites, such as www.revlon.com, www.elizabetharden.com, www.almay.com, www.revlonprofessional.com, www.americancrew.com, www.cnd.com and www.mitchum.com, devoted to the Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Almay, Revlon Professional, American Crew, CND and Mitchum brands, respectively.

shifts in consumer preferences in order to develop new products, introduce line extensions and promotions and redesign or reformulate existing products to satisfy these needs and preferences. The Company's research and development group is comprised of departments specialized in the technologies critical to many of the Company's product lines. The Company also utilizes specialty laboratories and manufacturers in its supply chain for the development of certain new products, such as fragrances and skin care. The Company continues to refine its rigorous process for the ongoing development and evaluation of new product concepts, led by executives in marketing, sales, research and development, and including input from operations, law and finance.

The Company operates an extensive research and development facility in Edison, New Jersey for products under brands such as Revlon, Almay and Elizabeth Arden. The Company also has research facilities for its professional products in the U.S. (in California and Florida), Spain and Mexico. The scientists at these various facilities are responsible for performing all of the Company’s research and development activities for new products, ideas, concepts and packaging. The Company’s package development and engineering function is also part of the greater research and development organization and fosters a strong synergy of package and formula development, which is integral to a product’s success. The research and development group performs extensive safety and quality testing on the Company’s products, including toxicology, microbiology, efficacy and package testing. Additionally, quality control testing is performed at each of the Company’s manufacturing facilities.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company employed approximately 200 people in its research and development activities, including specialists in pharmacology, toxicology, chemistry, microbiology, engineering, biology, dermatology and quality control.

The Company continually reviews its manufacturing needs against its manufacturing capacities to identify opportunities to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. The Company continuously pursues reductions in cost of goods through the global sourcing of raw materials and components from qualified vendors, leveraging its purchasing capacity to optimize cost reductions. The Company’s global sourcing strategy from qualified vendors is also designed to ensure that the Company maintains a continuous supply of high-quality raw materials and components.

Distribution
The Company's products are sold in approximately 150 countries across six continents. The Company utilizes a dedicated sales force in countries where the Company maintains operations, and also utilizes sales representatives and independent distributors to serve certain territories and retailers. (See Item 1A. Risk Factors - "The Company depends on a limited number of customers for a large portion of its net sales, and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce the Company's net sales and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows" and "Competition in the beauty industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.")

The Company also sells a broad range of beauty products to U.S. Government military exchanges and commissaries. The Company licenses its Revlon trademark to select manufacturers for complementary beauty-related products and accessories that the Company believes have the potential to extend the Company's brand names and image. As of December 31, 2020, 6 of such licenses were in effect relating to more than 20 product categories, which are marketed principally in the mass retail channel. Pursuant to such licenses, the Company retains control over product design and development, product quality, advertising and the use of its trademarks. These licensing arrangements offer opportunities for the Company to generate revenues and cash flow through royalties or other payments.
The Company sells its products through the mass retail channel, prestige retailers, perfumeries, boutiques, department and specialty stores, travel retailers and distributors, as well as direct sales to consumers via its Elizabeth Arden branded retail stores and e-commerce business. In 2019 and 2018, the Company launched direct-to-consumer on-line selling capabilities on its elizabetharden.com, juicycouturebeauty.com, americancrew.com and fleshbeauty.com websites. In 2020, the Company continued expansion of its e-commerce business in various markets. Retail merchandisers maintain the Company's point-of-sale

wall displays intended to ensure that high-selling SKUs are in stock and to ensure the optimal presentation of the Company's products in retailers. Products for use in professional salons are sold primarily through wholesale beauty supply distributors in the U.S.
Outside of the United States. Net sales outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 52% of the Company's 2020 net sales. The three countries outside the U.S. with the highest net sales were China, Australia and Spain which together accounted for approximately 18% of the Company's 2020 net sales. The Company distributes its mass retail products, prestige products and fragrances through large volume retailers, chain drug and food stores, chemist shops, hypermarkets, general merchandise stores, e-commerce sites, television shopping, department and specialty stores, one-stop shopping beauty retailers, perfumeries, boutiques, travel retailers and distributors. Products for use in professional hair and nail salons are sold directly to the salons by the Company's direct sales force in countries where it has operations and through wholesale beauty supply distributors in other countries outside the U.S.
At December 31, 2020, the Company actively sold its products through wholly-owned subsidiaries established in approximately 25 countries outside of the U.S., as well as through joint ventures in Asia and the Middle East, and through a large number of independent distributors and licensees elsewhere around the world.
Customers
The Company's principal customers for its mass retail products, prestige products and fragrances include large volume retailers and chain drug stores, including well-known retailers such as Walmart, CVS, Target, Kohl’s, Walgreens, TJ Maxx and Marshalls, department stores such as Macy’s, Dillard’s, Ulta, Belk and Sephora in the U.S.; Shoppers DrugMart in Canada; A.S.

Walmart and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 18% of the Company's 2020 consolidated net sales. The Company expects that Walmart and a small number of other customers will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of the Company's net sales. (See Item 1A. Risk Factors - "The Company depends on a limited number of customers for a large portion of its net sales, and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce the Company's net sales and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.")

Summary Risk Factors
Some of the factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows include, but are not limited to, the following:
Risks Related to the Company’s Indebtedness
a.Revlon is a holding company with no business operations of its own and is dependent on its subsidiaries to pay certain expenses and dividends. In addition, shares of the capital stock of Products Corporation, Revlon's wholly-owned operating subsidiary, are pledged by Revlon to secure its obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreements and the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement.
b.Products Corporation’s substantial indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s operations and flexibility and Products Corporation’s ability to service its debt.
13
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
c.Even after the consummation of the Exchange Offer, Products Corporation’s ability to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness depends on many factors.
d.Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.
e.Limits on Products Corporation's borrowing capacity under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility may affect the Company's ability to finance its operations.
f.The Company's ability to service its debt and meet its cash requirements depends on many factors, including achieving anticipated levels of revenue and expenses. If such revenue or expense levels prove to be other than as anticipated, the Company may be unable to meet its cash requirements or Products Corporation may be unable to meet the requirements of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
g.Shares of Revlon Class A Common Stock are pledged to secure the debt of the Company’s affiliates and shares of Products Corporation's capital stock are pledged to secure various obligations of Revlon and Products Corporation, and foreclosure upon these shares or dispositions of shares of Revlon or Products Corporation could result in the acceleration of debt under Products Corporation's 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, 2020 BrandCo Facilities, 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and/or its 6.25% Senior Notes and could have other consequences.
Risks Related to the Company’s Industry, Business and Operations
a.The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significantly decreased net sales for the Company and has had, and could continue to have, a significant adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
b.The Company's financial performance depends on its ability to anticipate and respond to consumer trends and changes in consumer preferences. New product introductions may not be as successful as the Company anticipates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
c.The Company depends on a limited number of customers for a large portion of its net sales, and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce the Company's net sales and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
d.The Company may be unable to maintain or increase its sales through the Company's primary retailers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
e.The Company depends on its Oxford, North Carolina facility for production of a substantial portion of its products. Disruptions at this facility and/or at other Company or third-party facilities at which the Company's products are manufactured could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
f.Competition in the beauty industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
g.The Company's Fragrances segment depends on various brand licenses and distribution arrangements for a significant portion of its sales, and the loss of one or more of these licenses or distribution arrangements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
h.The Company previously identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, which has now been remediated. Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
i.The Company may not realize the cost reductions and other benefits that it expects from its various restructuring programs that may be in effect from time to time, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
j.MacAndrews & Forbes has the power to direct and control the Company's business.
General Business and Regulatory Risks
a.The Company's foreign operations are subject to a variety of social, political and economic risks and have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations, foreign currency controls, government-mandated pricing controls, duties, tariffs and/or other trade measures, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows and the value of its foreign assets.

b.Economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows and/or on the financial condition of its customers and suppliers.
c.The Company's products are subject to federal, state and international regulations that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
d.Disruptions to the Company's information technology systems could disrupt the Company's business operations which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Risks Related to the Company’s Indebtedness
Revlon is a holding company with no business operations of its own and is dependent on its subsidiaries to pay certain expenses and dividends. In addition, shares of the capital stock of Products Corporation, Revlon's wholly-owned operating subsidiary, are pledged by Revlon to secure its obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreements and the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement.
Revlon is a holding company with no business operations of its own. Revlon's only material asset is all of the outstanding capital stock of Products Corporation, Revlon's wholly-owned operating subsidiary, through which Revlon conducts its business operations. As such, Revlon's net income has historically consisted predominantly of its equity in the net loss of Products Corporation, which for 2020 and 2019 was $593.5 million and $151.2 million, respectively (in each case excluding $7.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, in expenses primarily related to Revlon being a public holding company). Revlon is dependent on the earnings and cash flow of, and dividends and distributions from, Products Corporation to pay Revlon’s expenses incidental to being a public holding company and to pay any cash dividend or distribution on its Class A Common Stock in each case that may be authorized by Revlon’s Board of Directors.
Products Corporation may not generate sufficient cash flow to pay dividends or distribute funds to Revlon because, for example, Products Corporation may not generate sufficient cash or net income; state laws may restrict or prohibit Products Corporation from issuing dividends or making distributions unless Products Corporation has sufficient surplus or net profits, which Products Corporation may not have; or because contractual restrictions, including negative covenants contained in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments, may prohibit or limit such dividends or distributions.
The terms of Products Corporation's 2016 Credit Agreements, the indenture governing Products Corporation's 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "6.25% Senior Notes Indenture" and the "6.25% Senior Notes," respectively) and the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) generally restrict Products Corporation from paying dividends or making distributions to Revlon, except in limited circumstances. For example, Products Corporation is permitted to pay dividends and make distributions to Revlon to enable Revlon to, among other things, maintain its existence and its ownership of Products Corporation, such as paying professional fees (e.g., legal, accounting and insurance fees), regulatory fees (e.g., SEC filing fees and NYSE listing fees), pay certain taxes and other expenses related to being a public holding company and, subject to certain limitations, to pay dividends, if any, on Revlon’s outstanding securities or make distributions in certain circumstances to finance Revlon’s purchase of shares of its Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the delivery of such shares to grantees under the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan, as amended. These limitations therefore restrict Revlon's ability to pay dividends on its Class A Common Stock.
All of the shares of Products Corporation’s capital stock held by Revlon are pledged to secure Revlon’s guarantee of Products Corporation's obligations under its 2016 Credit Agreements and the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement. A foreclosure upon the shares of Products Corporation's common stock would result in Revlon no longer holding its only material asset, would have a material adverse effect on the holders and price of Revlon’s Class A Common Stock and would be a change of control under Products Corporation’s other debt instruments. (See also Item 1A. Risk Factors - "Shares of Revlon Class A Common Stock are pledged to secure the debt of the Company’s affiliates and shares of Products Corporation's capital stock are pledged to secure various obligations of Revlon and Products Corporation, and foreclosure upon these shares or dispositions of shares of Revlon or Products Corporation could result in the acceleration of debt under Products Corporation's 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, 2020 BrandCo Facilities, 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and/or its 6.25% Senior Notes and could have other consequences.")
Products Corporation’s substantial indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s operations and flexibility and Products Corporation’s ability to service its debt.
Products Corporation has a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2020 the Company’s total indebtedness was $3,434.5 million (or $3,325.0 million, including future interest and net of discounts and debt issuance costs),
15
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
including: (i) $1,868.4 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility; (ii) $883.9 million in aggregate principal amount of secured indebtedness under its 2016 Term Loan Facility; (iii) $431.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% Senior Notes; (iv) $188.9 million of secured indebtedness under its Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, consisting of $138.9 million of Tranche A revolving loans and $50.0 million of 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans; (v) the Euro equivalent of $59.2 million in aggregate principal amount of secured indebtedness under its 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility; (vi) nil in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness under its 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, which was terminated on December 31, 2020; and (vii) $2.8 million in aggregate principal amount of other short-term borrowings indebtedness. On November 13, 2020, Products Corporation successfully consummated the Exchange Offer (as hereinafter defined) in which $236 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “5.75% Senior Notes”) was validly tendered and accepted for exchange and payment by Products Corporation. In connection with the Exchange Offer, Products Corporation issued $50 million in aggregate principal amount of new 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans and $75 million aggregate principal amount of the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans. On November 13, 2020, immediately after Products Corporation accepted for exchange of the 5.75% Senior Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Exchange Offer and completed payment therefor, Products Corporation used cash on hand to redeem, effective as of November 13, 2020, the remaining $106.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes pursuant to the terms of the 5.75% Senior Notes Indenture. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the satisfaction and full discharge of the remaining 5.75% Senior Notes, no 5.75% Senior Notes remained outstanding.
In addition, in May 2020 Products Corporation repaid in full the 2019 Term Loan Facility, incurred additional indebtedness under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility and exchanged a significant portion of indebtedness under the 2016 Term Loan Facility for indebtedness under the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility in connection with the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions (see Note 7, "Debt" to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K. See also, "Recent Debt Transactions" in Item 7. "Combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."). If the Company is unable to maintain or increase its profitability and cash flow and sustain such results in future periods, the Company's operations and Products Corporation's ability to service its debt and/or comply with the financial and/or operating covenants under its various debt instruments could be adversely affected. (See also Item 1A. Risk Factors - "Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.")
The Company is subject to the risks normally associated with substantial indebtedness, including the risk that the Company’s profitability and cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest under Products Corporation’s various debt instruments, and the risk that Products Corporation will be unable to refinance existing indebtedness when it becomes due or, if it is unable to comply with the financial or operating covenants under its various debt instruments, to obtain any necessary consents, waivers or amendments or that the terms of any such refinancing and/or consents, waivers or amendments will be less favorable than the current terms of such indebtedness. Products Corporation’s substantial indebtedness could also have the effect of:
•limiting the Company’s ability to fund (including by obtaining additional financing) the costs and expenses of executing the Company’s business initiatives, future working capital, capital expenditures, advertising, promotional and/or marketing expenses, new product development costs, purchases and reconfigurations of wall displays, acquisitions, and related integration costs, investments, restructuring programs and other general corporate purposes;
•requiring the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on Products Corporation’s indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of the Company’s cash flow necessary for executing the Company’s business initiatives and for other general corporate purposes;
•placing the Company at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that have less debt;
•exposing the Company to potential events of default (if not cured or waived) under the financial and operating covenants contained in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments;
•limiting the Company’s flexibility in responding to changes in its business and the industry in which it operates; and
•making the Company more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic conditions or a downturn in its business.
Although agreements governing Products Corporation’s indebtedness, including the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture and the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, limit Products Corporation’s ability to borrow funds, under certain circumstances Products Corporation is allowed to borrow a significant amount of additional money, some of which, in certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, could be secured indebtedness. To the extent that more debt, whether secured or unsecured, is added to the Company's current debt levels, the risks described above would increase further. See “Recent Debt Transactions” in Item 7. “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Even after the consummation of the Exchange Offer, Products Corporation’s ability to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness depends on many factors.
Tranche A and the SISO Facility under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility mature in June 2023; the non-extended portion of the 2016 Term Loan Facility matures no later than September 2023; Tranche B under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement matures no later than December 2023; the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility matures no later than March 2024; and the 6.25% Senior Notes mature in August 2024. Also, while the 2020 BrandCo Facilities are scheduled to mature no later than June 2025, they are subject to a springing maturity on the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 6.25% Senior Notes if $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remain outstanding by such date. Additionally, while the Extended Term Loans are scheduled to mature no later than June 2025, they are subject to a maturity that would accelerate the earliest of (y) the same September 2023 springing maturity date of any non-extended term loans under Products Corporation’s existing 2016 Term Loan Facility if $75 million or more in aggregate principle amount of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility remains outstanding on such date, and (z) a springing maturity on the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 6.25% Senior Notes if $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remain outstanding by such date. And, while the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility matures no later than March 2024, it is subject to a springing maturity date of August 1, 2023 if amount of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility remains outstanding on such date. For a more complete description of the maturities of these debt instruments, including events that could accelerate their respective maturities, see "Recent Developments," as well as Note 8, “Debt,” to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K. See also, “Recent Debt Transactions” in Item 7. “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Products Corporation currently anticipates that, in order to pay the principal amount of its outstanding indebtedness upon the occurrence of any event of default, or to repurchase any of the 6.25% Senior Notes if a change of control occurs, or in the event that Products Corporation’s cash flows from operations are insufficient to allow it to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness by their respective maturity dates, the Company will be required to refinance some or all of Products Corporation’s indebtedness, seek to sell assets or operations, seek to sell additional Revlon equity, seek to sell debt securities of Revlon or Products Corporation and/or seek additional capital contributions or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes or from the Company’s other affiliates and/or third parties. The Company may be unable to take any of these actions due to a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments, including, for example, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance, additional capital contributions or loans not being available from affiliates and/or third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of Products Corporation’s various debt instruments then in effect, including restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and/or related party transactions included in such debt instruments. Such actions, if ever taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements if the actions do not result in sufficient cost reductions or generate a sufficient amount of additional capital, as the case may be.
None of the Company’s affiliates are required to make any capital contributions, loans or other payments to Products Corporation regarding its obligations on its indebtedness. Products Corporation may not be able to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness using any of the above actions because, under certain circumstances, the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture, any of Products Corporation's other debt instruments and/or the debt instruments of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries then in effect may not permit the Company to take such actions. (See also Item 1A. Risk Factors - "Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply").
The future state of the credit markets, including any volatility and/or tightening of the credit markets and reduction in credit availability, could adversely impact the Company’s ability to refinance or replace, in whole or in part, Products Corporation’s outstanding indebtedness by their respective maturity dates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.
The agreements that govern Products Corporation's indebtedness, including the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, and Products Corporation's 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture, contain a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit Products Corporation’s ability (subject in each case to certain exceptions) to, among other things:
•borrow money;
•use assets as security in other borrowings or transactions;
17
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
•pay dividends on stock or purchase stock;
•sell assets and use the proceeds from such sales;
•enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
•make certain investments;
•prepay, redeem or repurchase specified indebtedness; and
•permit restrictions on the payment of dividends to Products Corporation by its subsidiaries.
These covenants affect Products Corporation’s operating flexibility by, among other things, restricting its ability to incur indebtedness that could be used to fund the costs of executing the Company’s business initiatives and to grow the Company’s business, as well as to fund general corporate purposes.
Certain breaches under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture would permit the Company’s lenders to accelerate amounts outstanding thereunder. The acceleration of amounts outstanding under the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities (as hereinafter defined), the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and/or the 6.25% Senior Notes would in certain circumstances constitute an event of default under the other instruments permitting amounts outstanding under such instruments to be accelerated. See “Recent Debt Transactions” in Item 7. “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” In addition, holders of the 6.25% Senior Notes may require Products Corporation to repurchase their notes in the event of a change of control under the applicable indenture and a change of control would be an event of default under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement. Products Corporation may not have sufficient funds at the time of any such breach or change of control to repay, in full or in part, amounts outstanding under the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement or the 2021 Asset-Based Term Facility or to repay, repurchase or redeem, in full or in part, the 6.25% Senior Notes.
Events beyond the Company’s control could impair the Company’s operating performance, which could affect Products Corporation’s ability to comply with the terms of Products Corporation’s debt instruments. Such events may include decreased consumer spending in response to the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic or other weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty products in one or more of the Company's segments; adverse changes in tariffs, foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company's products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or among sales channels, such as due to any further consumption declines that the Company has experienced; inventory management by the Company's customers; inventory de-stocking by certain retail customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; retail store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; less than anticipated results from the Company's existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, those for pension expense under its benefit plans, restructuring programs and related severance expenses, acquisitions and related integration costs, capital expenditures, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional and/or marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the Company's anticipated level of expenses.
Under such circumstances, Products Corporation or its subsidiaries may be unable to comply with the requirements of one or more of its or their various debt instruments, including any financial covenants in the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement or the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement. If Products Corporation or its subsidiaries are unable to satisfy such requirements at any future time, Products Corporation or its subsidiaries would need to seek an amendment or waiver of such requirements. The respective lenders under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or the other applicable debt instruments may not consent to any amendment or waiver requests that Products Corporation or its subsidiaries may make in the future, and, if they do consent, they may only do so on terms that are unfavorable to Products Corporation and/or Revlon.
If Products Corporation or its subsidiaries are unable to obtain any such waiver or amendment, Products Corporation's or its subsidiaries' inability to meet the requirements of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or other applicable debt instruments would constitute an event of default under such agreements, which, under certain circumstances, would permit the lenders to accelerate the repayment of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility or the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, as the case may be, and, under certain circumstances, would constitute an event of default under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and the 6.25%
18
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Senior Notes Indenture. An event of default under the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture would permit the 6.25% Senior Notes Trustee or the Requisite Note Holders to accelerate payment of the principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest on the 6.25% Senior Notes.
Products Corporation’s assets and/or cash flows and/or that of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under its various debt instruments, either upon maturity or if accelerated upon an event of default or change of control, and if the Company is required to repay, repurchase and/or redeem, in whole or in part, amounts outstanding under its 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and/or its 6.25% Senior Notes, it may be unable to refinance or restructure the payments on such debt. See “Recent Debt Transactions” in Item 7. “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Further, if the Company is unable to repay, refinance or restructure its indebtedness under the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and/or the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the lenders could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness, subject to certain conditions and limitations as set forth in the related intercreditor agreements and collateral agreements. As described above, the consequences of complying with the foregoing restrictions, covenants and limitations under the Company’s various debt instruments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Limits on Products Corporation's borrowing capacity under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility may affect the Company's ability to finance its operations.
At December 31, 2020, Products Corporation had $188.9 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the Euro equivalent of $59.2 million outstanding under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. While Tranche A of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, following Amendment No. 7 thereto, provides for up to $300.0 million of commitments, the Company’s ability to borrow funds under such facility is limited by a borrowing base determined relative to the value, from time-to-time, of certain eligible assets.
While the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, which replaced and refinanced the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, provides for a U.S. dollar-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan facility which currently has a principal balance of $75.0 million, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement requires the maintenance of a borrowing base supporting the borrowing thereunder, based on the sum of: (i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable; (ii) 65% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible finished goods inventory and (ii) 45% of the mortgage value of certain owned real property, in each case with respect to certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries organized in Australia, Bermuda, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, subject to certain customary availability reserves. For more information on Amendment No. 7 to the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, see Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
Under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, if the value of the Company's eligible assets is not sufficient to support the full borrowing base under the respective facility, Products Corporation will not have complete access to the entire commitment available under such facilities, but rather would have access to a lesser amount as determined by the borrowing base.
The applicable borrowers must prepay loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility to the extent that outstanding loans exceed its respective borrowing base. Under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, in lieu of a mandatory prepayment, the ABTL Loan Parties may deposit cash into a designated U.S. bank account with the ABTL Agent that is subject to a control agreement (such cash, the "Qualified Cash"). To the extent the borrowing base subsequently exceeds the amount of outstanding loans, the ABTL Borrower can withdraw the Qualified Cash from such bank account. In addition, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds from the incurrence by the Loan Parties of debt not permitted thereunder.
As Products Corporation continues to manage its working capital (including its and its subsidiaries inventory and accounts receivable, which are significant components of the eligible assets comprising the borrowing base under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility), this could reduce the borrowing base under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and/or the 2021 Asset-Based Term Facility. Further, if Products Corporation borrows funds under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, subsequent changes in the value or eligibility of the assets within the borrowing base could require Products Corporation to pay down amounts outstanding under such facility so that there is no amount outstanding in excess of the then-existing borrowing base. Likewise, subsequent changes in the value or eligibility of the assets within the borrowing base under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility could require Products Corporation and
19
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
its subsidiaries to pay down amounts outstanding under such facility so that there is no amount outstanding in excess of the then-existing borrowing base, which, unlike the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, cannot be re-borrowed.
The Company’s ability to borrow under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility is also conditioned upon its compliance with the covenants in the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Because of these limitations, the Company may not always be able to meet its cash requirements with funds borrowed under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
If one or more lenders under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility are unable to fulfill their commitment to advance funds to Products Corporation under such facility, it would impact the Company’s liquidity and, depending upon the amount involved and the Company’s liquidity requirements, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to fund its operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had a liquidity position of $249.9 million, consisting of: (i) $97.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (with approximately $89.8 million held outside the U.S.); (ii) $168.0 million in available borrowing capacity under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which had $188.9 million drawn at such date); and less (iii) approximately $15.2 million of outstanding checks. See “Recent Debt Transactions” in Item 7. “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
A substantial portion of Products Corporation's indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates and the potential discontinuation or replacement of LIBOR could result in an increase to our interest expense.
A substantial portion of the Products Corporation's indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates, which makes the Company more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic conditions, increases in prevailing interest rates or a downturn in the Company’s business. As of December 31, 2020, $3,000.4 million of Products Corporation’s total indebtedness, or approximately 87% of its total indebtedness, was subject to floating interest rates.
In July 2017, the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. It is unclear whether or not LIBOR will cease to exist at that time (and if so, what reference rate will replace it) or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. Certain of Products Corporation’s financing agreements, including its 2016 Term Loan Facility, the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility are made at variable rates that use LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the applicable interest rate. While the 2016 Term Loan Facility contains limited “fallback” provisions providing for comparable or successor rates in the event LIBOR is unavailable, these provisions may not adequately address the actual changes to LIBOR or its successor rates. For example, if future rates based upon the successor reference rate (or a new method of calculating LIBOR) are higher than LIBOR rates as currently determined, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. On the other hand, if future rates based upon the successor reference rate (or a new method of calculating LIBOR) are lower than LIBOR rates as currently determined, the lenders under such credit agreements may seek amendments to increase the applicable interest rate margins or invoke their right to require the use of the alternate base rate in place of LIBOR, which could result in an increase to our interest expense as discussed below. By contrast, the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility contain provisions governing the selection and adjustment of replacement reference rates. More generally, a phase-out of LIBOR could cause market volatility or disruption and may adversely affect our access to the capital markets and cost of funding, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Similar considerations as the ones described above with respect to LIBOR as benchmark for establishing interest rates apply to EURIBOR. Our 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is denominated in Euros and the interest rate thereunder is tied to EURIBOR. To the extent that EURIBOR becomes unavailable, the agreement contains fallback provisions ultimately providing for a rate determined by the administrative agent as the all-in-cost of funds for borrowings denominated in Euros with maturities comparable to the interest period applicable to the loans under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility.
As of December 31, 2020, the entire $883.9 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2016 Term Loan Facility bore interest, at Product Corporation’s option, at a rate per annum of LIBOR (which has a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 3.5% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 2.5%, payable quarterly, at a minimum. At December 31, 2020, LIBOR and the alternate base rate for the 2016 Term Loan Facility were 0.75% and 3.25%, respectively. As of December 31,
20
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
2020, $138.9 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under Tranche A of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility bore interest, at Products Corporation’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.00%, 1.25% or 1.50%, depending on the average excess availability (based on the borrowing base as most recently reported by Products Corporation to the administrative agent from time-to-time); or (ii) the Eurocurrency rate (which has a floor of 1.75%) plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00%, 2.25% or 2.50%, depending on the average excess availability (based on the borrowing base as most recently reported by Products Corporation to the administrative agent from time-to-time). Under Tranche A of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the applicable margin increases as average excess revolving availability thereunder decreases. As of December 31, 2020, $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under Tranche B of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility bore interest, at Products Corporation’s option, at a rate per annum of LIBOR (which has a floor of 1.75%) plus a margin of 8.50% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 7.50%, payable quarterly, at a minimum. Under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, which had the Euro equivalent of $59.2 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2020, interest accrued on borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR rate (which had a floor of 0.5%) plus a 7.00% applicable margin. Interest accrues on the 2020 BrandCo Facility at a rate per annum equal to (i) 2.00%, payable in kind, plus (ii) LIBOR (which has a floor of 1.50%) plus a margin of 10.5%. Interest accrues on the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility at a rate per annum of LIBOR (which has a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 3.5%. Under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, which currently has $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, interest accrues on borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate (which had a floor of 1.50%) plus an 8.50% applicable margin. See “Recent Debt Transactions” in Item 7. “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” and Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
If any of LIBOR (or its successor rate), the prime rate or the federal funds effective rate increases, Products Corporation’s debt service costs will increase to the extent that Products Corporation has elected such rates for its outstanding loans. Based on the amounts outstanding under the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and other short-term borrowings (which, in the aggregate, are Products Corporation’s only debt currently subject to floating interest rates) as of December 31, 2020, a 1% increase in LIBOR (or an equivalent successor rate) would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by $30.5 million. Based on the same amounts outstanding, a change from LIBOR to the alternate base rate in the case of the 2016 Credit Agreements would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by $14.5 million. Increased debt service costs would adversely affect the Company’s cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company's ability to service its debt and meet its cash requirements depends on many factors, including achieving anticipated levels of revenue and expenses. If such revenue or expense levels prove to be other than as anticipated, the Company may be unable to meet its cash requirements or Products Corporation may be unable to meet the requirements of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company currently expects that operating revenues, cash on hand, and funds that may be available for borrowing under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and other permissible borrowings will be sufficient to enable the Company to cover its operating expenses for 2021, including: cash requirements for the payment of expenses in connection with executing the Company's business initiatives and its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; purchases of permanent wall displays; capital expenditure requirements; debt service payments and costs; cash tax payments; pension and other post-retirement plan contributions; payments in connection with the Company's restructuring programs (including, without limitation, the EA Integration Restructuring Program, the 2018 Optimization Program and the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program); severance not otherwise included in the Company's restructuring programs; business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any; debt and/or equity repurchases, if any; costs related to litigation; and payments in connection with discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting and/or entering certain territories and/or channels of trade. See “Recent Debt Transactions” in Item 7. “Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
However, if the Company's anticipated level of revenue is not achieved because of, for example, decreased consumer spending in response to the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic or other weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty products in one or more of the Company's segments; adverse changes in tariffs, foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company's products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company's competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or sales channels, such as due to the consumption declines in core beauty categories in the

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
mass retail channel in North America; inventory management by the Company's customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; retail store closures in brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; less than anticipated results from the Company's existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company's expenses, including, without limitation, those for pension expense under its benefit plans, capital expenditures, restructuring and severance costs (including, without limitation, for the EA Integration Restructuring Program, the 2018 Optimization Program and the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program), acquisition and integration costs, costs related to litigation, advertising, promotional or marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company's current sources of funds may be insufficient to meet its cash requirements. In addition, such developments, if significant, could reduce the Company's revenues and could have a material adverse effect on Products Corporation's ability to comply with the terms of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Loan Agreement (See also Item 1A. Risk Factors - "Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply," which discusses, among other things, the consequences of noncompliance with Products Corporation's debt covenants).
If the Company's operating revenues, cash on hand and/or funds that may be available for borrowing are insufficient to cover the Company's expenses and/or are insufficient to enable Products Corporation to comply with the requirements of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the Company could be required to adopt one or more of the alternatives listed below:
•delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of the Company's business initiatives;
•reducing or delaying purchases of wall displays and/or expenses related to the Company's advertising, promotional and/or marketing activities;
•reducing or delaying capital spending;
•implementing new restructuring programs;
•refinancing Products Corporation's indebtedness;
•selling assets or operations;
•seeking additional capital contributions and/or loans from MacAndrews & Forbes, the Company's other affiliates and/or third parties;
•selling additional Revlon equity or debt securities or Products Corporation's debt securities; and/or
•reducing other discretionary spending.
The Company may not be able to take any of these actions because of a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in one or more of Products Corporation's various debt instruments, including, for example, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or a debt issuance, additional capital contributions or loans not being available from affiliates and/or third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of one or more of Products Corporation's various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and/or related party transactions. If the Company is required to take any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Such actions, if ever taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements or enable Products Corporation to comply with the terms of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement if the actions do not result in sufficient cost reductions or generate a sufficient amount of additional capital, as the case may be. (See also Item 1A. Risk Factors - "Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply," which discusses, among other things, the consequences of noncompliance with Products Corporation's debt covenants).
Shares of Revlon Class A Common Stock are pledged to secure the debt of the Company’s affiliates and shares of Products Corporation's capital stock are pledged to secure various obligations of Revlon and Products Corporation, and foreclosure upon these shares or dispositions of shares of Revlon or Products Corporation could result in the acceleration of debt under Products Corporation's 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, 2020 BrandCo Facilities, 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and/or its 6.25% Senior Notes and could have other consequences.
All of Products Corporation's shares of common stock are pledged to secure Revlon’s guarantee under the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities and the 2020 BrandCo Facilities. MacAndrews & Forbes has advised the Company that it has pledged shares of Revlon’s Class A Common Stock to secure certain obligations of MacAndrews & Forbes. Additional shares of Revlon and
22
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
shares of common stock of intermediate holding companies between Revlon and MacAndrews & Forbes may from time-to-time be pledged to secure obligations of MacAndrews & Forbes. A default under any of these obligations that are secured by the pledged shares could cause a foreclosure with respect to such shares of Revlon's Class A Common Stock, Products Corporation's common stock or stock of intermediate holding companies between Revlon and MacAndrews & Forbes.
A foreclosure upon any such shares of common stock or dispositions of shares of Revlon’s Class A Common Stock, Products Corporation's common stock or stock of intermediate holding companies between Revlon and MacAndrews & Forbes that are beneficially owned by MacAndrews & Forbes could, in a sufficient amount, constitute a "change of control" under Products Corporation’s 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, and the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture. A change of control constitutes an event of default under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement that would permit Products Corporation's and its subsidiaries' lenders to accelerate amounts outstanding under such facilities. In addition, holders of the 6.25% Senior Notes may require Products Corporation to repurchase their respective notes under those circumstances.
Products Corporation may not have sufficient funds at the time of any such change of control to repay in full or in part the borrowings under the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and/or to repurchase or redeem some or all of the 6.25% Senior Notes. (See also Item 1A. Risk Factors - "The Company's ability to service its debt and meet its cash requirements depends on many factors, including achieving anticipated levels of revenue and expenses. If such revenue or expense levels prove to be other than as anticipated, the Company may be unable to meet its cash requirements or Products Corporation may be unable to meet the requirements of the 2016 Credit Agreements, 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement and/or 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Loan Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows."
Risks Related to the Company’s Industry, Business and Operations
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significantly decreased net sales for the Company and has had, and could continue to have, a significant adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business around the globe, which could continue for the foreseeable future. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted net sales in all major commercial regions that are important to the Company’s business. COVID-19’s adverse impact on the global economy has contributed to significant and extended quarantines, stay-at-home orders and other social distancing measures; closures and bankruptcies of retailers, beauty salons, spas, offices and manufacturing facilities; increased levels of unemployment; travel and transportation restrictions leading to declines in consumer traffic in key shopping and tourist areas around the globe; and import and export restrictions. These adverse economic conditions have resulted in the general slowdown of the global economy, in turn contributing to a significant decline in net sales within each of the Company’s reporting segments and regions.
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic contributed an estimated $505 million ($507 million XFX) to the Company's $515.3 million decline in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period.
In April 2020, the Company took several cost reduction measures designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on its net sales, including, without limitation: (i) reducing brand support, as a result of the abrupt decline in retail store traffic; (ii) continuing to monitor the Company’s sales and order flow and periodically scaling down operations and cancelling promotional programs; and (iii) closely managing cash flow and liquidity and prioritizing cash to minimize COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s production capabilities. In April 2020, the Company also implemented various organizational interim measures designed to reduce costs in response to COVID-19, including, without limitation: (i) switching to a reduced work week in the U.S. and in the Company's international locations and reducing executive and employee compensation in the range of 20% to 40%; (ii) furloughing approximately 40% of the Company’s U.S.-based office-based employees and 30% factory-based employees, as well as employees in a majority of the Company's other locations; (iii) suspending the Company’s 2020 merit base salary increases, discretionary profit sharing contributions and matching contributions to the Company’s 401(k) plan; (iv) reducing Board and committee compensation by 50% and eliminating Board and committee meeting fees; and (v) suspending or terminating services and payments under consulting agreements with certain directors. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company started to gradually roll back some of these measures especially with regards to some of the employees previously furloughed and/or on a reduced work week. With these measures, including the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company achieved cost reductions of approximately $286 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 that have substantially offset the impact of the decline in the Company's net sales over such period. However, with the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, these mitigation actions may not prove to be effective in insulating the Company from any further damaging economic impacts from the pandemic.

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has caused the Company and various of its key third party suppliers to temporarily close one or more of their manufacturing facilities. While these closures have not yet had a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to operate and fulfill orders, if the COVID-19 restrictions continue for a period longer than the period for the re-opening of retailers, such restrictions could lead to a shortage of raw materials, components and finished products, which in turn could cause the Company to be unable to ship products to retailers and consumers and continue to adversely impact the Company’s net sales. Also, if one or more of the Company’s key customers were required to close for an extended period, the Company might not be able to ship products to them and consumers may decrease their level of purchasing activity, which would adversely impact the Company’s net sales. In addition, governmental authorities may recommend or impose other measures that could cause significant disruptions to the Company’s business operations in the regions most impacted by the coronavirus, such as in Asia and Travel Retail globally. The continuation of any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic would continue to significantly adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company depends on its Oxford, North Carolina facility for production of a substantial portion of its products. Disruptions at this facility and/or at other Company or third-party facilities at which the Company's products are manufactured could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company produces a substantial portion of its products at its Oxford, North Carolina facility. Significant unscheduled downtime at this facility, or at other Company facilities and/or third-party facilities at which the Company's products are manufactured, whether due to equipment breakdowns, power failures, natural disasters, pandemics (including COVID-19), weather conditions hampering delivery schedules, shortages of raw materials, technology disruptions or other disruptions, including those caused by transitioning manufacturing across these facilities, or any other cause could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to provide products to its customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's sales, business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Additionally, if product sales exceed the Company's forecasts, internal or third-party production capacities and/or the Company's ability to procure sufficient levels of finished goods, raw materials and/or components from third-party suppliers, the Company could, from time-to-time, not have an adequate supply of products to meet customer demands, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Volatility in costs and disruption in the supply of materials and services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company purchases raw materials, including essential oils, alcohols, chemicals, containers and packaging components, from various third-party suppliers. Substantial cost increases and the unavailability of raw materials or other commodities, as well as higher costs for energy, transportation and other necessary services have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company’s profit margins if it is unable to wholly or partially offset them, such as by achieving cost efficiencies in its supply chain, manufacturing and/or distribution activities. In addition, the Company purchases certain finished goods, raw materials, packaging and other components from single-source suppliers or a limited number of suppliers and if the Company is required to find alternative sources of supply, these new suppliers may have to be qualified under applicable industry, governmental and Company-mandated vendor standards, which can require additional investment and be time-consuming. Any significant disruption to the Company’s manufacturing or sourcing of products or raw materials, packaging and other components for any reason (including COVID-19) could interrupt and delay the Company’s supply of products to its retail customers. Also, the Company is continually looking for opportunities to provide essential business services in a more cost-effective manner. In some cases, the Company outsources certain functions that it believes can be performed more efficiently by third parties, such as in the areas of IT, finance, tax and human resources. These third parties could fail to provide the expected level of services, provide them on a timely basis or to provide them at the expected fees. Such events, if not promptly remedied, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operation, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company's financial performance depends on its ability to anticipate and respond to consumer trends and changes in consumer preferences. New product introductions may not be as successful as the Company anticipates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company has a rigorous process for the continuous development and evaluation of new product concepts, led by executives in marketing, sales, research and development, product development, operations, law and finance. However, consumer preference and spending patterns change rapidly and cannot be predicted with certainty. There can be no assurance that the Company will anticipate and respond to trends for beauty products effectively. Each new product launch, including
24
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
those resulting from the Company's recently updated product development process, carries risks, as well as the possibility of unexpected consequences, including:
•the acceptance of the Company's new product launches by, and sales of such new products to, the Company's customers may not be as high as the Company anticipates;
•the Company's marketing, promotional, advertising and/or pricing strategies for its new products may be less effective than planned and may fail to effectively reach the targeted consumer base or engender the desired consumption of the Company's products by consumers;
•the rate of purchases by the Company's consumers may not be as high as the Company anticipates;
•the Company's wall displays to showcase its new products may fail to achieve their intended effects;
•the Company may experience out-of-stocks and/or product returns exceeding its expectations as a result of the Company's new product launches or space reconfigurations or as a result of reductions in retail display space by the Company's customers;
•the Company's net sales may also be impacted by inventory management by its customers or changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by its customers;
•the Company may incur costs exceeding its expectations as a result of the continued development and launch of new products, including, for example, unanticipated levels of research and development costs, advertising, promotional and/or marketing expenses, sales return expenses or other costs related to launching new products;
•the Company may experience a decrease in sales of certain of the Company's existing products as a result of newly-launched products, the impact of which could be exacerbated by shelf space limitations and/or any shelf space loss. (See also Item 1A. Risk Factors - "Competition in the beauty industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.").
•the Company's product pricing strategies for new product launches may not be accepted by its customers and/or its consumers, which may result in the Company's sales being less than it anticipates;
•the effects of COVID-19 could delay the Company’s development or introduction of new products or require the Company to make unexpected changes to its products;
•the Company may experience a decrease in sales of certain of the Company's products as a result of counterfeit products and/or products sold outside of their intended territories; and/or
•delays or difficulties impacting the Company's ability, or the ability of the Company's suppliers, to timely manufacture, distribute and ship products or raw materials, as the case may be, displays or display walls in connection with launching new products, such as due to inclement weather conditions or other delays or difficulties (such as those discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors - "The Company depends on its Oxford, North Carolina facility for production of a substantial portion of its products. Disruptions at this facility and/or at other Company or third-party facilities at which the Company's products are manufactured could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows"), could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to ship and deliver products to meet its customers’ reset deadlines.
Each of the risks referred to above could delay or impede the Company's ability to achieve its sales objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company depends on a limited number of customers for a large portion of its net sales, and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce the Company's net sales and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Walmart and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 18% of the Company’s worldwide net sales in both 2020 and 2019. The Company expects that, for future periods, Walmart and a small number of other customers will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of the Company's net sales. The Company may be affected by changes in the policies and demands of its customers relating to service levels, inventory de-stocking, pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies or limitations on access to wall display space. As is customary in the consumer products industry, none of the Company's customers is under any obligation to continue purchasing products from the Company in the future.

The loss of Walmart and/or one or more of the Company's other customers that account for a significant portion of the Company's net sales, or any significant decrease in sales to these customers, including as a result of consolidation among such customers, retail store closures in response to the growth in retail sales through e-commerce channels, inventory management by these customers, changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by such customers, space reconfigurations by the Company's customers or any significant decrease in the Company's display space, or COVID-19 as retailers faced store closures or reduced traffic, could reduce the Company's net sales and/or operating income and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company may be unable to maintain or increase its sales through the Company's primary retailers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
A decrease in consumer demand in the U.S. and/or internationally for beauty products, including as a result of COVID-19, inventory management by the Company's customers, changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers (such as the development and/or continued expansion of private label or their own store-owned brands), a reduction in display space by the Company's customers, store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels and/or a change in consumers’ purchasing habits, such as with respect to retailer preferences and/or sales channels, could result in decreased sales of the Company's products, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Competition in the beauty industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The beauty industry is highly competitive. The Company competes primarily by:
•developing quality products with innovative performance features, shades, finishes, components and packaging;
•educating consumers, retail customers and salon professionals about the benefits of the Company’s products both on-line and in brick and mortar retail outlets;
•anticipating and responding to changing consumer, retail customer and salon professional demands in a timely manner, including as to the timing of new product introductions and line extensions;
•offering attractively priced products relative to the product benefits provided;
•maintaining favorable brand recognition;
•generating competitive margins and inventory turns for the Company’s customers by providing relevant products and executing effective pricing, incentive and promotional programs and marketing and advertising campaigns, as well as social media and influencer marketing activities;
•ensuring product availability through effective planning and replenishment collaboration with the Company's customers;
•providing strong and effective advertising, promotion, marketing, social media, influencer and merchandising support;
•leveraging e-commerce, social media and mobile commerce initiatives and developing an effective omni-channel strategy to optimize the opportunity for consumers to interact with and purchase the Company's products both on-line and in brick and mortar retail outlets;
•maintaining an effective sales force and distribution network; and
•obtaining and retaining sufficient display space, optimal in-store positioning and effective presentation of the Company’s products on-shelf.
An increase in or change in the current level of competition that the Company faces could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. This risk is exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced consumer demand in 2020, and is expected to continue to do so.
In addition to competing with expanding private label and store-owned brands, the Company competes against a number of multi-national manufacturers, some of which are larger and have substantially greater resources than the Company, and which may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively than the Company on new business acquisitions, research and development activities, technological advances to evolve in their e-commerce capabilities and advertising, promotional, social

media influencer and/or marketing activities and have more flexibility than the Company to respond to changing business and economic conditions.
Additionally, the Company's major customers periodically assess the allocation of display space among competitors and in the course of doing so could elect to reduce the display space allocated to the Company's products, if, for example, the Company's marketing, promotional, advertising and/or pricing strategies for its new and/or existing products are less effective than planned, fail to effectively reach the targeted consumer base, fail to engender the desired consumption of the Company's products by consumers and/or fail to sustain productive levels of consumption dollar share and/or the rate of purchases by the Company's consumers are not as high as the Company anticipates. Among the factors used by the Company’s major customers in assessing the allocation of display space is a brand’s share of the color cosmetics category. The Company's color cosmetics brands have experienced, over time, year-over-year declines in their share of the color cosmetics category in the U.S. and it is possible that the Company may continue to experience further share declines. Further declines in the Company's share for one or more of its principal brands, including with respect to the Company’s Almay brand, could, among other things, contribute to the additional loss of display space and/or decreased revenues. Any significant loss of display space could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company's Fragrances segment depends on various brand licenses and distribution arrangements for a significant portion of its sales, and the loss of one or more of these licenses or distribution arrangements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company’s rights to market and sell certain of its prestige fragrance brands are derived from licenses and other distribution arrangements from unaffiliated third parties and such business is dependent upon the continuation and renewal of such licenses and distribution arrangements on terms favorable to the Company. Each license is for a specific term and may have optional renewal terms. In addition, such licenses and distribution arrangements may be subject to the Company satisfying required minimum royalty payments, minimum advertising and promotional expenditures and satisfying minimum sales requirements. In addition, under certain circumstances, lower net sales may shorten the duration of the applicable license agreement. The loss of one or more of these licenses or other significant distribution arrangements, renewal of one or more of these arrangements on less than favorable terms, the failure to renew one or more of these arrangements and/or difficulties in finding replacement brand licenses for terminated or expired licenses could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The success of the Company's Fragrances segment depends, in part, on the demand for heritage and designer fragrance products. A decrease in demand for such products, or the loss or infringement of any intellectual property rights, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company's Fragrances segment has license agreements to manufacture, market and distribute a number of heritage and designer fragrance products, including those of (i) Juicy Couture, John Varvatos and AllSaints in prestige fragrances; (ii) Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Aniston and Mariah Carey in celebrity fragrances; and (iii) Ed Hardy, Lucky Brand and Geoffrey Beene in mass fragrances. In 2020, the Company's Fragrances segment derived approximately 61% of its net sales from heritage and designer fragrance brands. The demand for these products is affected by general economic conditions, and, to some extent, dependent on the appeal to consumers of the particular designer or talent and the designer’s or talent’s reputation and specific events, such as COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in reduced consumer demand for these products. The Company also cannot assure that the owners of the trademarks that it licenses can or will successfully maintain their intellectual property rights. If other parties infringe on the intellectual property rights that the Company licenses, the value of such brands in the marketplace may be diluted. To the extent that the heritage or designer fragrance category or a particular designer or talent ceases to be appealing to consumers or a designer’s or talent’s reputation is adversely affected, sales of the related products and the value of the impacted brands could decrease materially, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company's inability to acquire or license additional fragrance brands or secure additional distribution arrangements and arrangements could have an adverse effect on the Company's net sales and a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The success of the Fragrances segment depends in part upon the continued growth of its portfolio of owned, licensed and distributed brands, including expanding its geographic presence to take advantage of opportunities in developed and emerging
27
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
regions. Efforts to increase sales of the Company's prestige fragrance portfolio and expand its geographic market presence depend upon a number of factors, including its ability to:
•develop its fragrance brand portfolio through branding, innovation and execution;
•identify and develop new and existing fragrance brands with the potential to become successful global brands;
•innovate and develop new fragrance products that are appealing to consumers;
•acquire or license additional fragrance brands or secure additional distribution arrangements and the Company's ability to obtain the required financing for these agreements and arrangements;
•expand the Company's geographic presence to take advantage of opportunities in developed and emerging regions;
•continue to expand the Company's distribution channels within existing geographies to increase trade presence, brand recognition and sales;
•expand the Company's trade presence through alternative distribution channels, such as through e-commerce channels;
•expand margins through sales growth, the development of higher margin products and overhead and supply chain integration and efficiency initiatives;
•effectively manage capital investments and working capital to improve the generation of cash flow; and
•execute any acquisitions quickly and efficiently and integrate new businesses successfully.
There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully achieve any or all of the above objectives in the manner or time period that it expects. Further, achieving these objectives will require investments, which may result in material short-term costs without generating any current net sales and the Company may not ultimately achieve its net sales objectives associated with such efforts. The future expansion of the Fragrances segment through acquisitions, new fragrance licenses, e-commerce initiatives or other new fragrance distribution arrangements, if any, will depend upon the ability to identify suitable brands to acquire, license or distribute and to obtain the required financing for these acquisitions, licenses or distribution arrangements or to launch or support the brands associated with these agreements or arrangements. The Company may not be able to identify, negotiate, finance or consummate such acquisitions, licenses or arrangements on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. In addition, the Company may decide to divest or discontinue certain brands or streamline operations and may incur costs and charges in doing so. The inability to acquire or license additional fragrance brands or secure additional distribution arrangements for the Fragrances segment (such as optimizing its e-commerce sales opportunities) and obtain the required financing for these agreements and arrangements could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net sales and a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The illegal distribution and sale by third parties of counterfeit versions of the Company’s products or the unauthorized diversion by third parties of the Company’s products could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net sales and a negative impact on the Company’s reputation and business.
Third parties may illegally distribute and sell counterfeit versions of the Company’s products. These counterfeit products may be inferior in terms of quality and other characteristics compared to the Company’s authentic products and/or the counterfeit products could pose safety risks that the Company’s authentic products would not otherwise present to consumers. Consumers could confuse counterfeit products with the Company’s authentic products, which could damage or diminish the image, reputation and/or value of the Company’s brands and cause consumers to refrain from purchasing the Company’s products in the future, which could adversely affect the Company’s net sales and have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation.
The Company sells a substantial portion of its professional products to professional salon distributors and/or wholesalers. Products sold to these customers are meant to be used exclusively by salons and individual salon professionals or are sold exclusively to the retail consumers of these salons. Despite the Company’s efforts to prevent diversion of such products from these customers, incidents have occurred and continue to occur whereby the Company’s products are sold to sales outlets other than the intended salons and salon professionals, such as to general merchandise retailers or unapproved outlets. In some instances, these diverted products may be old, damaged or otherwise adulterated, which could damage or diminish the image, reputation and/or value of the Company’s brands. In addition, such diversion may result in lower net sales of the Company’s products if consumers choose to purchase diverted products and/or choose to purchase products manufactured or sold by the Company’s competitors because of any perceived damage or diminishment to the image, reputation and/or value of the Company’s brands.

The Company believes that its trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights are extremely important to the Company’s success and its competitive position. The Company devotes significant resources to registering and protecting its intellectual property rights and maintaining the positive image of its brands. The Company’s trademark and patent applications may fail to result in issued registrations or provide the scope of coverage sought. Unplanned increases in legal fees and other costs associated with enforcing and/or defending the Company’s trademarks, patents and/or other intellectual property rights could result in higher than expected operating expenses. The Company has been unable to eliminate, and may in the future be unable to eliminate, all counterfeiting activities, unauthorized product diversion and infringement of its trademarks, patents and/or other intellectual property, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s net sales and have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation.
The Company's success depends, in part, on the quality, efficacy and safety of its products.
The Company's success depends, in part, on the quality, efficacy and safety of its products. If the Company's products are found or alleged to be defective or unsafe, or if they fail to meet customer or consumer standards, the Company's relationships with its customers or consumers could suffer, the appeal of one or more of the Company's brands could be diminished and the Company could lose sales and/or become subject to liability claims, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company’s success largely depends upon its ability to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce, as well as effectively implement succession planning for its senior management team, and, as such, the Company’s inability to do so could adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Continuing to execute the Company's business initiatives largely depends on the Company’s ability to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce, as well as effectively implement succession planning for its senior management team. Unexpected levels of employee turnover, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the Company’s failure to maintain an adequate succession plan to effectively transition current management leadership positions and/or the Company’s failure to attract, hire and retain its senior management team, other key employees and a highly skilled and diverse workforce could adversely affect the Company’s institutional knowledge base and/or competitive advantage. If the Company is unable to attract, hire and/or retain talented and highly qualified senior management, other key employees and/or a highly skilled and diverse workforce, or if the Company is unable to effectively provide for the succession of its senior management team, the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows could be adversely affected.
The Company previously identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, which has now been remediated. Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company previously disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting primarily related to control deficiencies within various aspects of its control environment. As a result of these control deficiencies, the Company concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. During 2019, the Company completed a series of actions and measures that effectively remediated the previously-disclosed material weakness and concluded that as of December 31, 2019 its internal control over financial reporting was effective. See Item 9A. – “Controls and Procedures” of the 2019 Form 10-K. The Company cannot provide assurances that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not occur in the future and that it will be able to remediate such weaknesses or deficiencies in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Furthermore, if the remediated material weakness recurs in the future or a new material weakness occurs, it could negatively impact the Company’s ability to prepare its future financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. If the Company were unable to prepare its future financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, such circumstances would expose the Company to potential events of default (if not cured or waived) under the financial and operating covenants contained in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments and cause the Company to seek any necessary consents, waivers or amendments from its lenders. Under such circumstances, Products Corporation faces the risk that it may not be able to obtain any such consents, waivers or amendments, that the terms of any such consents, waivers or amendments will be less favorable than the current terms of its indebtedness and/or Products Corporation may not be able to refinance its existing indebtedness to
29

enable it to repay that indebtedness when it becomes due. See also Item 1A. Risk Factors - “Products Corporation’s substantial indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s operations and flexibility and Products Corporation’s ability to service its debt,” “Products Corporation’s ability to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness depends on many factors” and “Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s various debt instruments limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.” Also, if the Company is unable to prepare its future financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, it could result in damage to the Company’s reputation, financial obligations to third parties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation, any or all of which could result in additional business disruptions and the Company incurring potentially substantial costs.
The Company may not realize the cost reductions and other benefits that it expects from its various restructuring programs that may be in effect from time to time, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
From time to time, the Company implements restructuring program, such as the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program (such programs as may be in effect from time to time being referred to as “Restructuring Programs”) that are generally designed to streamline the Company’s operations, reporting structures and business processes, with the objective of maximizing productivity and improving profitability, cash flows and liquidity. Events and circumstances may occur that are beyond the Company’s control, such as delays caused by third parties and unexpected costs, that could result in the Company not realizing all of the anticipated cost reductions and benefits or the Company not realizing the cost reductions or other benefits on its expected timetable. In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates, commodity costs and/or in tax, labor or other laws may result in the Company not achieving the anticipated cost reductions and benefits, as measured in U.S. dollars. If the Company is unable to realize the Restructuring Programs’ cost reduction objectives and other benefits, the Company’s ability to fund other initiatives and enhance its profitability may be adversely affected. In addition, some of the actions that the Company is taking in furtherance of the Restructuring Programs may become a distraction for the Company’s managers and employees and may disrupt the Company’s ongoing business operations; cause deterioration in employee morale which may make it more difficult for the Company to retain or attract qualified employees; disrupt or weaken the Company’s internal control structures; and/or give rise to negative publicity which could affect the Company’s business reputation. If the Company is unable to successfully implement the Restructuring Programs, in whole or in part, in accordance with the Company’s expectations, it could adversely affect its business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. For additional information regarding the 2018 Optimization Program and the 2020 Restructuring Program, refer to Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Restructuring charges and other, net.” For additional information regarding the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, see Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments - Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program.”
MacAndrews & Forbes has the power to direct and control the Company's business.
MacAndrews & Forbes is beneficially owned by Ronald O. Perelman. Mr. Perelman, through MacAndrews & Forbes, beneficially owned approximately 86.7% of Revlon's outstanding Class A Common Stock on December 31, 2020. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to control the election of the entire Board of Directors of Revlon and of Products Corporation's Board of Directors (as it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Revlon) and controls the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of Revlon’s and Products Corporation's stockholders, including the approval of mergers, consolidations, sales of some, substantially all or all of the Company's assets, issuances of capital stock and similar transactions.
General Business and Regulatory Risks
The Company's foreign operations are subject to a variety of social, political and economic risks and have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations, foreign currency controls, government-mandated pricing controls, duties, tariffs and/or other trade measures, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows and the value of its foreign assets.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had operations based in 25 foreign countries and its products were sold in approximately 150 countries. The Company is exposed to risks associated with social, political and economic conditions, including inflation, inherent in operating in foreign countries, including those in Asia (such as China and Hong Kong, which has been impacted by ongoing political unrest in that region), Australia, Canada, Eastern Europe (such as Russia), Mexico, South Africa and South America (such as Argentina), which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Such risks include hyperinflation, foreign currency
30
Table of Contents
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
devaluation, tariffs, foreign currency controls, government-mandated pricing controls, currency remittance restrictions, changes in tax laws, changes in consumer purchasing habits (including as to retailer preferences), as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in U.S. laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment.
The U.S. and the other countries in which the Company’s products are manufactured or sold have imposed and may impose additional duties, tariffs and other retaliatory or trade protection measures, or other restrictions or regulations, or may adversely adjust prevailing quota, duty or tariff levels, which can affect the cost and availability of materials that the Company uses to manufacture and package its products and the sale of finished products. For example, the E.U. has imposed tariffs on certain beauty products imported from the U.S., which would impact the sale in the E.U. of certain of the Company’s more prestige products that are manufactured in the U.S. Similarly, the tariffs imposed by the U.S. on goods and materials from China would impact any materials that the Company imports from that region for use in manufacturing or packaging in the U.S. Measures that the Company could be required to take to reduce the impact of tariff increases or trade restrictions, including shifts of production among countries and manufacturers, geographical diversification of the Company’s sources of supply, adjustments in product or packaging design and fabrication, or increased prices, could increase the Company’s costs and delay the Company’s time to bring its products to shelf. Other governmental actions related to tariffs or international trade agreements have the potential to adversely impact demand for the Company’s products, production costs, retail customers and suppliers. These risks, which could increase the Company’s costs and reduce the Company’s net sales and profitability, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
These risks and limitations could also affect the ability of the Company's foreign subsidiaries to obtain sufficient capital to conduct their operations in the ordinary course of business. Limitations and the difficulties that certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries may experience on the free flow of funds to and from these foreign subsidiaries could restrict the Company's ability to respond timely to challenging business conditions or changes in operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company's net sales outside of the U.S. for each of 2020 and 2019 represented approximately 52% and 53% of the Company's total consolidated net sales, respectively. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates negatively affected the Company's results of operations and the value of the Company's foreign net assets in 2020 and they may adversely affect the Company's results of operations and the value of the Company's foreign net assets in future periods, which in turn could cause a material adverse effect on the Company's reported net sales and earnings and the comparability of period-to-period results of operations.
Products Corporation may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge certain net cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts may, from time to time, be entered into primarily for the purpose of hedging anticipated inventory purchases and certain intercompany payments denominated in foreign currencies and generally have maturities of less than one year. At December 31, 2020, the notional amount of Products Corporation's foreign currency forward exchange contracts was nil. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts may not adequately protect the Company against the negative effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which could adversely affect the Company's overall liquidity.
Economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows and/or on the financial condition of its customers and suppliers.
Economic conditions in the U.S. and/or other countries where the Company operates have in the past contributed, and may in the future contribute, to lower consumer spending and/or reduced credit availability. Such economic conditions have impacted, and could in the future impact, business and consumer confidence, especially in relation to discretionary purchases. These conditions could have an impact on customer and/or consumer purchases of the Company's products, which could result in a reduction of the Company's net sales, operating income and/or cash flows. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant and pervasive disruptions to global economic and business conditions. Measures imposed or that may in the future be imposed by national, state and local authorities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to have serious adverse impacts of uncertain severity and duration on domestic and foreign economies. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts, including government payments and loans to affected citizens and industries, is uncertain. Any sustained economic downturn in the U.S. or any of the other countries in which we conduct significant business, may cause significant readjustments in both the volume and mix of our product sales, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Additionally, disruptions in the credit and other financial markets and economic conditions could, among other things, impair the financial condition of one or more of the Company's customers or suppliers, thereby increasing the risk of

customer bad debts or non-performance by suppliers. These conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The U.K.’s ongoing withdrawal process from the European Union may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company is a multinational company with worldwide operations, including material business operations in Europe. In June 2016, a majority of voters in the U.K. elected to withdraw from the European Union in a national referendum. In March 2017, the U.K. government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union and the U.K. exited the European Union on January 31, 2020. On December 24, 2020, the European Union and U.K. agreed to a trade deal with neither tariffs nor quotas on products, regulatory and customs cooperation mechanisms as well as provisions ensuring a level playing field for open and fair competition. The "Brexit" process has created significant ongoing uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.K. and the European Union and has given rise to calls for the governments of other European Union member states to consider withdrawal from the European Union. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets and could significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets. Asset valuations, currency exchange rates and credit ratings may be especially subject to increased market volatility. Lack of clarity about future U.K. laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate as the withdrawal process proceeds, including financial laws and regulations, tax and free trade agreements, intellectual property rights, supply chain logistics, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, immigration laws and employment laws, could decrease foreign direct investment in the U.K., increase costs, depress economic activity, restrict the Company’s access to capital and make regulatory compliance and the distribution, sourcing, manufacturing and sales and marketing of the Company’s products more difficult or costly. If the U.K. and the European Union are unable to negotiate acceptable withdrawal terms or if other European Union member states pursue withdrawal, barrier-free access between the U.K. and other European Union member states or among the European economic area overall could be diminished or eliminated. Similar adverse consequences could occur if regions such as Catalonia, where the Company's Spain businesses are headquartered, eventually succeed in withdrawing from their parent country. Approximately 4% of the Company's net sales are in the U.K. and approximately 13% of the Company's net sales are in the remainder of the European Union. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Terrorist attacks, acts of war or military actions and/or other civil unrest may adversely affect the territories in which the Company operates and the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
On September 11, 2001, the U.S. was the target of terrorist attacks of unprecedented scope. These attacks contributed to major instability in the U.S. and other financial markets and reduced consumer confidence. These terrorist attacks, as well as subsequent terrorist attacks (such as those that have occurred in Berlin, Germany; Nice, France; Orlando, Florida; Istanbul, Turkey; Brussels, Belgium; Paris, France; Benghazi, Libya; Madrid, Spain; London, England and the attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq and the U.S.'s military response to such attack), attempted terrorist attacks, military responses to terrorist attacks, other military actions and/or civil unrest, such as that occurring in France, the Ukraine, Venezuela, Turkey, Syria, Iraq and surrounding areas and, most recently in Hong Kong, may adversely affect prevailing economic conditions, resulting in work stoppages, reduced consumer spending and/or reduced demand for the Company's products. These developments subject the Company's worldwide operations to increased risks and, depending on their magnitude, could reduce the Company's net sales and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Declines in the financial markets may result in increased pension expense and increased cash contributions to the Company's pension plans.
Declines in the U.S. and global financial markets, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in significant declines in the Company's pension plan assets and result in increased pension expense and cash contributions to the Company's pension plans. Interest rate levels will affect the discount rate used to value the Company's year-end pension benefit obligations. One or more of these factors, individually or taken together, could impact future required cash contributions to the Company's pension plans and pension expense. Any one or more of these conditions could reduce the Company's available

liquidity, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Extreme weather conditions and natural disasters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Extreme weather conditions that impact the retail store locations of the Company’s customers, or the locations of the Company’s manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, overseas offices, third-party suppliers and/or other vendors could disrupt the supply and shipment of the Company’s products to consumers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's sales, business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. Moreover, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tsunamis and the earthquakes impacting Puerto Rico, whether occurring in the U.S. or abroad, and their related consequences and effects, including energy shortages and public health issues, could result in economic instability and/or disruptions to the Company’s operations and/or the operations of the Company’s retail customers, distributors, third-party-suppliers and other vendors, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's sales, business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company's products are subject to federal, state and international regulations that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company’s business is subject to numerous laws, regulations and trade policies. The Company is subject to regulation by the FTC and the FDA in the U.S., as well as various other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities, including those in the EU, Canada and other countries in which the Company operates. The Company's Oxford, North Carolina manufacturing facility is registered with the FDA as a drug manufacturing establishment, permitting the manufacture of cosmetics and other beauty-care products that contain over-the-counter drug ingredients, such as sunscreens, anti-perspirant deodorants and anti-dandruff hair-care products. Regulations in the U.S., the EU, Canada and other countries in which the Company operates that are designed to protect consumers or the environment have an increasing influence on the Company's product claims, ingredients and packaging. To the extent federal, state, local and/or foreign regulatory changes occur in the future, whether due to changes in applicable laws or regulations or evolving interpretations and enforcement policies by regulatory authorities, they could require the Company to reformulate or discontinue certain of its products or revise its product packaging or labeling, any of which could result in, among other things, increased costs to the Company, delays in product launches, product returns or recalls and lower net sales, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Any violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other similar foreign anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from operations outside the U.S. and the Company has significant facilities outside the U.S., which exposes the Company to complex foreign and U.S. regulations inherent in conducting international business transactions. The Company is subject to compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and other similar foreign anti-corruption laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business and other types of improper payments. While the Company’s employees and agents are required to comply with these laws and the Company has developed policies and procedures to facilitate compliance with such laws, there is no assurance that the Company’s policies and procedures will prevent all violations of these laws, despite the Company’s long-standing commitment to conducting its business and achieving its objectives by maintaining the highest level of ethical standards and legal compliance. The SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice, and their foreign counterparts, have continued to increase their enforcement activities with respect to the FCPA and similar foreign anti-corruption laws and any violation of these laws or allegations of such may result in severe criminal and civil sanctions, as well as other substantial costs and penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Disruptions to the Company's information technology systems could disrupt the Company's business operations which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The operation of the Company's business depends on the Company's information technology systems. The Company relies on its information technology systems to effectively manage, among other things, the Company's business data, communications, supply chain, inventory management, customer order entry and order fulfillment, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, human resources benefits and payroll management, compliance with regulatory, legal and tax requirements and other processes and data necessary to manage the Company's business. Disruptions to the Company's information technology systems, including any disruptions to the Company's current systems and/or as a result of transitioning to additional or replacement information technology systems, as the case may be, could disrupt the Company's business and could result in, among other things, transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, loss of data and the loss of sales and customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. In addition, the Company's information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond the Company's control, including, without limitation, fire, natural disasters, power outages, systems disruptions, system conversions, security breaches, cyberattacks, phishing attacks, viruses and/or human error. In any such event, the Company could be required to make a significant investment to fix or replace its information technology systems, and the Company could experience interruptions in its ability to service its customers. These risks have been and may continue to be exacerbated as a result of remote working in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such damage or interruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
In addition, as part of the Company's normal business activities, the Company collects and stores certain confidential information, including personal information with respect to customers, consumers and employees, as well as information related to intellectual property, and the success of its e-commerce operations depends on the secure transmission of confidential and personal data over public networks, including the use of cashless payments. The Company may share some of this information with vendors who assist the Company with certain aspects of its business. Moreover, the success of the Company’s e-commerce operations depends upon the secure transmission of confidential and personal data over public networks, including the use of cashless payments. Any failure on the part of the Company or its vendors to maintain the security of this confidential data and personal information, including via the penetration of the Company’s network security (or those if its vendors) and the misappropriation of confidential and personal information, could result in business disruption, damage to the Company’s reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation, any or all of which could result in the Company incurring potentially substantial costs. Such events could also result in the deterioration of confidence in the Company by employees, consumers and customers and cause other competitive disadvantages. In addition, a security or data privacy breach could require the Company to expend significant additional resources to enhance its information security systems and could result in a disruption to the Company’s operations. Furthermore, third parties, such as the Company’s suppliers and retail customers, may also rely on information technology and be subject to such cybersecurity breaches. These breaches may negatively impact their businesses, which could in turn disrupt the Company’s supply chain and/or the Company’s business operations. Due to the potential significant costs, business disruption and reputational damage that typically accompany a cyberattack or cybersecurity breach, any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
The Company’s information technology systems, or those of its third-party service providers, may be accessed by unauthorized users such as cyber criminals as a result of a disruption, cyberattack or other security breach. Cyberattacks and other cybersecurity incidents are occurring more frequently, are constantly evolving in nature, are becoming more sophisticated and are being made by groups and individuals with a wide range of expertise and motives. Such cyberattacks and cyber incidents can take many forms, including cyber extortion, social engineering, password theft or introduction of viruses or malware, such as ransomware through phishing emails. As techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, a disruption, cyberattack or other security breach of the Company’s information technology systems or infrastructure, or those of its third-party service providers, may go undetected for an extended period and could result in the theft, transfer, unauthorized access to, disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of Company, employee, representative, customer, vendor, consumer and/or other third-party data, including sensitive or confidential data, personal information and/or intellectual property. The Company cannot guarantee that its security efforts will prevent breaches or breakdowns of the Company’s or its third-party service providers’ information technology systems. In addition, like most major corporations, the Company's information systems are a target of cyberattacks and although the incidents that the Company has experienced to date have not had a material effect, if the Company suffers a material loss or disclosure of confidential information as a result of a breach of its information technology systems, including those of its third-party service providers, the Company may suffer reputational, competitive and/or business

harm, incur significant costs and be subject to government investigations, litigation, fines and/or damages, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Further, the Company is subject to an evolving body of federal, state and non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations, guidelines and principles regarding data privacy and security. Several governments, including the E.U., have regulations dealing with the collection and use of personal information obtained from their citizens, and regulators globally are also imposing greater monetary fines for privacy violations. As of May 2018, the European privacy regulation General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) went into effect, strengthening and expanding the rules pertaining to how organizations are required to handle the personal data of individuals located in the EU at the time the data is collected. GDPR establishes new requirements regarding the handling of personal data, and non-compliance with the GDPR may result in monetary penalties of up to 4% of the Company’s worldwide revenue. In addition, the State of California recently enacted a data privacy law applicable to entities serving or employing California residents (the “CCPA”) that required compliance by January 2020. The GDPR, the CCPA and other changes in federal, state and foreign laws, rules or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of sensitive data and other personal information, require the Company to evaluate its current operations, information technology systems and data handling practices and to implement enhancements and adaptations where necessary to comply with these new laws, rules and regulations, which could greatly increase the Company’s operational costs or require the Company to adapt certain operations or activities to comply with the stricter regulatory requirements. The Company's inability to comply with such laws, rules, regulations, guidelines and principles or to quickly adapt the Company's practices to reflect them as they develop, could potentially subject the Company to significant fines, damages, liabilities and reputational harm, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Uncertainties in the interpretation and application of the income tax provisions could have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.
The Company is subject to taxes in the United States and in certain foreign jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. The Company's future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation, including in the United States.
The Company is also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations. If the Company's effective tax rates were to increase, particularly in the United States, or if the ultimate determination of the Company's taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law legislation that significantly revises the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Such changes include a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and limitations on certain corporate deductions and credits, including significant limitations on the deductibility of interest, among other changes. Notwithstanding the implementation of this reform during the prior years, the new legislation may continue to have material impact on the Company's results of operations, which may be material.

In addition to the facilities described above, the Company owns and leases additional facilities in various areas throughout the world, including the lease of the Company's offices in New York, New York (approximately 153,000 square feet) and the office lease in Cornella, Spain (approximately 89,000 square feet). Management considers the Company's facilities to be well-maintained and satisfactory for the Company's operations, and believes that the Company's facilities and third-party contractual supplier arrangements provide sufficient capacity for its current and expected production requirements.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On August 12, 2020, UMB Bank, National Association (“UMB”), purporting to act as successor agent under the Term Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016 (as amended as of May 7, 2020 and as otherwise amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2016 Credit Agreement”), filed a lawsuit, captioned UMB Bank, National Association v. Revlon, Inc. et al., against Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation, several of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries, and several of Products Corporation’s contractual counterparties, including Citibank, Jefferies Finance LLC, Jefferies LLC, and Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund V, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleged various claims, including breach of contract and fraudulent transfers, stemming from alleged breaches of the 2016 Credit Agreement arising from certain other financing transactions entered into by the Company. The Complaint was never served on any defendant, and on November 6, 2020, having failed to serve the lawsuit on any defendant or make any effort to pursue the case, UMB Bank dismissed the case without prejudice to its right to refile it at a later date.

The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Revlon’s only class of capital stock outstanding at December 31, 2020 is its Class A Common Stock. MacAndrews & Forbes, which is beneficially owned by Ronald O. Perelman, at December 31, 2020 beneficially owned 46,223,321 shares of Revlon’s Class A Common Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"). Revlon's only class of capital stock outstanding at December 31, 2020 was its Class A Common Stock. As a result, at December 31, 2020, Mr. Perelman, indirectly through MacAndrews & Forbes, beneficially owned approximately 86.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Revlon's Class A Common Stock, which represented approximately 86.7% of the voting power of Revlon’s capital stock. The remaining 7,114,997 shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2020 were owned by the public.
Revlon's Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") and traded under the symbol "REV" principally in the U.S. on the FINRA Alternative Display Facility, the NYSE, the EDGX Exchange and the NASDAQ Intermarket Trading System, among others. At December 31, 2020, there were approximately 260 holders of record of Class A Common Stock (which does not include the number of beneficial owners holding indirectly through a broker, bank or other nominee). No cash dividends were declared or paid during 2020 and 2019 by Revlon on its Class A Common Stock. The terms of the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2019 Term Loan Agreement and the Senior Notes Indentures currently restrict Products Corporation’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions to Revlon, except in limited circumstances, which, in turn, limits Revlon's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders. See "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Long-Term Debt Instruments" and Note 8, "Debt," to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 7. Combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes and the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” this 2020 Form 10-K. As discussed in more detail in the Section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” this discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has continued to adversely impact the Company’s business in 2020 and beyond, as social-distancing restrictions and related actions designed to curb the spread of the virus have remained in place or have been reinstated as the COVID-19 pandemic spikes across the globe. These adverse economic conditions have resulted in the general slowdown of the global economy, in turn contributing to a significant decline in net sales within each of the Company’s reporting segments and regions. See "COVID-19 Impact on the Company’s Business" below for more details.
Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility
On March 8, 2021, the Company amended its Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the revolving facility thereunder from September 7, 2021 to June 8, 2023. Additionally, on March 2, 2021, the Company refinanced its 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility that was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2021 with a $75 million asset-based term loan facility with a scheduled maturity date of March 2, 2024, subject to a springing maturity date of August 1, 2023 if, on such date, any principal amount of loans under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement due September 7, 2023 remain outstanding. For further details of these financing transactions, see Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
Citibank Litigation
In the matter captioned In re Citibank August 11, 2020 Wire Transfers, No. 20-cv-06539-JMF (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 16, 2021) (the “Citi Decision”), the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York held that certain wire transfers mistakenly paid by Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) from its own funds on August 11, 2020 to holders of term loans issued to Revlon under a Term Credit Agreement dated as of September 7, 2016 (as amended, the “2016 Facility”) were final and complete transactions not subject to revocation. The wire payments at issue were made to all lenders under the 2016 Facility in amounts equaling the principal and interest outstanding on the loans at that time. Certain lenders that received the payments returned the funds soon after the mistaken transfer, but holders of approximately $504 million did not, and as a result of the Citi Decision those lenders are entitled to keep the funds in discharge of their debt.
Citi has appealed the Citi Decision. Citi has also asserted subrogation rights, but, as yet, there has been no determination of those rights (if any) under the 2016 Facility and Revlon has not taken a position on this issue. In these circumstances, it is the current intention of the Company to continue to make the scheduled payments under the 2016 Facility as if the full amount of the 2016 Facility remains outstanding.
License Agreement
On December 22, 2020, certain of the Company's subsidiaries and Helen of Troy Limited (the “Licensee”) entered into a Trademark License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) to combine and revise the existing licenses that are in place between the parties. The License Agreement grants the Licensee the exclusive right to use the “Revlon” brand in connection with the manufacture, display, advertising, promotion, labeling, sale, marketing and distribution of certain hair and grooming products until December 31, 2060 (with 3 additional 20-year renewal periods) in exchange for a one-time, upfront cash fee of $72.5 million, which is included as deferred revenue within Other long-term liabilities and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred revenue will be amortized to royalty income within "Net Sales" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations over a period of 26 years, estimated based on the point in time in which 90% of the total discounted cash flows is captured.

5.75% Senior Notes Exchange Offer
On November 13, 2020, Products Corporation completed its previously-announced offer to exchange (as amended, the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of the then-outstanding $342.8 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes scheduled to mature on February 15, 2021.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, Products Corporation accepted $236 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer. Products Corporation used cash on hand to redeem, effective as of November 13, 2020, the remaining $106.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 5.75% Senior Notes. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the satisfaction and discharge of the remaining 5.75% Senior Notes, no 5.75% Senior Notes remained outstanding. See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” within this Item 7 of this 2020 Form 10-K for more details.
2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions
On May 7, 2020 (the “BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date”), Products Corporation entered into a term credit agreement (the “2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain financial institutions (the “2020 Facilities Lenders”) that are lenders or the affiliates of lenders under Products Corporation’s Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016 and amended on April 30, 2020 and as amended on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date, as further described below (as amended to date, the “2016 Term Loan Facility”) and the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, collectively referred to as the "2016 Senior Credit Facilities"). Pursuant to the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2020 Facilities Lenders provided Products Corporation with new and roll-up senior secured term loan facilities (the “2020 BrandCo Facilities” and, collectively, the "2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility" and, together with the use of proceeds thereof and the Extension Amendment, the “2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions”).
Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Each reporting period, the Company assesses its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a liquidity position of $249.9 million, consisting of: (i) $97.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (with approximately $89.8 million held outside the U.S.); (ii) $168.0 million in available borrowing capacity under Products Corporation's Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which had $188.9 million drawn at such date); and less (iii) approximately $15.2 million of outstanding checks. The Company's evaluation includes its ability to meet its future contractual obligations and other conditions and events that may impact its liquidity.
The uncertainty as to Products Corporation’s ability to extend or refinance the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of the end of the third quarter of 2020. As a result of the transactions that were completed during the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern no longer exists. However, the Company continues to focus on cost reduction and risk mitigation actions to address both the ongoing and prolonged impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other risks in the business environment. It expects to generate additional liquidity through continued actions related to the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program and other cost control initiatives as well as funds provided by selling certain assets or other strategic transactions in connection with the Company's ongoing Strategic Review. If sales continue to decline, the Company’s cost control initiatives may include reductions in discretionary spend and reductions in investments in capital and permanent displays. Management believes that the recent successful closing of the Exchange Offer and the other recent debt activities, along with existing cash and cash equivalents and cost control initiatives provides the Company with sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and maintain business operations for the next twelve months.
However, there can be no assurance that available funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements on a consolidated basis, as, among other things, the Company’s liquidity can be impacted by a number of factors, including its level of sales, costs and expenditures, as well as accounts receivable and inventory, which serve as the principal variables impacting the amount of liquidity available under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. For example, subject to certain exceptions, loans under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility must be prepaid to the extent that outstanding loans exceed the borrowing base, consisting of accounts receivable and inventory.

Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program
Building upon its previously completed 2018 Optimization Program, in March 2020 the Company announced that it was implementing a worldwide organizational restructuring (the “Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program”) designed to reduce the Company’s SG&A expenses, as well as cost of goods sold, improve the Company’s gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA and maximize productivity, cash flow and liquidity. The Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program includes rightsizing the organization and operating with more efficient workflows and processes. The leaner organizational structure is also expected to improve communication flow and cross-functional collaboration, leveraging the more efficient business processes.
As a result of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company expects to eliminate approximately 975 positions worldwide, including approximately 625 current employees and approximately 350 open positions of which approximately 915 were eliminated by December 31, 2020.

This review is ongoing and remains focused on exploring potential options for the Company's portfolio and regional brands (the “Strategic Review”).
COVID-19 Impact on the Company’s Business
While the Company continues to execute its business strategy, the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted net sales in all major commercial regions around the globe that are important to the Company's business. COVID-19’s adverse impact on the global economy has contributed to significant and extended quarantines, stay-at-home orders and other social distancing measures; closures and bankruptcies of retailers, beauty salons, spas, offices and manufacturing facilities; increased levels of unemployment; travel and transportation restrictions leading to declines in consumer traffic in key shopping and tourist areas around the globe; and import and export restrictions. These adverse economic conditions have resulted in the general slowdown of the global economy, in turn contributing to a significant decline in net sales within each of the Company’s reporting segments and regions. As the Company currently expects that the

COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of the pandemic’s “subsequent waves,” will continue to impact its business going forward, the Company will continue to closely monitor the associated impacts and take appropriate actions in an effort to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic’s negative effects on the Company’s operations and financial results.
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic contributed an estimated $505 million ($507 million XFX) to the Company's $515.3 million decline in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company experienced increased net sales of Revlon-branded beauty tools, Revlon hair color products and of certain Elizabeth Arden skincare and, to a lower extent, fragrance products in certain markets, primarily in Asia, as well as growth in the Company's e-commerce net sales.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, Revlon segment net sales declined $270.4 million ($267.2 million XFX) versus the prior year period, with the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic contributing an estimated $225 million ($225 million XFX) to such decline. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Revlon segment experienced increased net sales of Revlon-branded beauty tools and Revlon hair color products, primarily in North America. The COVID-19 pandemic had a similar negative impact on the Company's other reporting segments over such period, with the COVID-19 pandemic contributing: (i) an estimated $117 million ($118 million XFX) to a $56.5 million ($60.5 million XFX) decline in the Elizabeth Arden segment, partially offset by higher net sales of Ceramide skin care products and, to a lower extent, higher net sales of Green Tea fragrances; (ii) an estimated $80 million ($81 million XFX) to a $101.9 million ($101.2 million XFX) decline in the Fragrances segment; and (iii) an estimated $82 million ($82 million XFX) to a $86.5 million ($83.5 million XFX) decline in the Portfolio segment.
On a regional basis, the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic had a similar negative impact on the Company's North America and International regions during the year ended December 31, 2020. COVID-19 contributed an estimated $211 million ($212 million XFX) to the decline of $239.0 million ($238.3 million XFX) in the Company’s net sales in its North America region for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year. Similarly, COVID-19 contributed an estimated $293 million ($295 million XFX) to a decline of $276.3 million ($274.1 million XFX) in the Company’s net sales in its International region for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2020, on a regional basis, the Company also experienced increased net sales of Revlon-branded beauty tools, Revlon hair color products and certain Elizabeth Arden skincare and fragrance products, predominantly in China, as well as growth in Cutex nail care products, and certain local and regional brands, in certain markets.
In April 2020, the Company took several cost reduction measures designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on its net sales, including, without limitation: (i) reducing brand support, as a result of the abrupt decline in retail store traffic; (ii) continuing to monitor the Company’s sales and order flow and periodically scaling down operations and cancelling promotional programs; and (iii) closely managing cash flow and liquidity and prioritizing cash to minimize the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Company’s production capabilities. In April 2020, the Company also implemented various organizational interim measures designed to reduce costs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, without limitation: (i) switching to a reduced work week in the U.S. and in the Company's international locations and reducing executive and employee compensation in the range of 20% to 40%; (ii) furloughing approximately 40% of the Company’s U.S.-based office-based employees and 30% factory-based employees, as well as employees in a majority of the Company's other locations; (iii) suspending the Company’s 2020 merit base salary increases, discretionary profit sharing contributions and matching contributions to the Company’s 401(k) plan; (iv) reducing Board and committee compensation by 50% and eliminating Board and committee meeting fees; and (v) suspending or terminating services and payments under consulting agreements with certain directors. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company started to gradually roll back some of these measures especially with regards to some of the employees previously furloughed and/or on a reduced work week. With these measures, including the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company achieved cost reductions of approximately $286 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 that have substantially offset the impact of the decline in the Company's net sales over such period. However, with the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, these mitigation actions may not prove to be effective in insulating the Company from any further damaging economic impacts from the pandemic.

Overview of Net Sales and Earnings Results
Consolidated net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1,904.3 million, a $515.3 million decrease, or 21.3%, compared to $2,419.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the $2.9 million unfavorable FX impact,

(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
consolidated net sales decreased by $512.4 million, or 21.2%, during the year ended December 31, 2020. The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic contributed an estimated $505 million ($507 million XFX) to the Company's $515.3 million decline in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period. The XFX net sales decrease of $512.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 was due to: a $267.2 million, or 27.9%, decrease in Revlon segment net sales; a $101.2 million, or 22.3%, decrease in Fragrances segment net sales; a $83.5 million, or 17.1%, decrease in Portfolio segment net sale; and a $60.5 million, or 11.6%, decrease in Elizabeth Arden segment net sales.
Consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, in the year ended December 31, 2020 was $619.0 million, compared to consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, of $165.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The $453.8 million increase in consolidated loss from continuing operations, net of taxes, in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily due to:
•$323.6 million of lower gross profit, primarily due to the lower net sales, primarily as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the year ended December 31, 2020;
•a $158.6 million increase in the provision for income taxes in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to: (i) the increase in the valuation allowance recorded on net federal deferred tax assets, (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) non-deductible impairment charges for which no tax benefit is recognized;
•a $144.1 million increase in non-cash impairment charges recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily attributable to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to having had no impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase is attributable to non-cash impairment charges of $111.0 million recorded on the Company's goodwill and to $33.1 million of non-cash impairment charges recorded on certain of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets following the Company's interim impairment assessments during the first and second quarters of 2020;
•a $46.7 million increase in interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher weighted average borrowings and higher weighted average interest rates driven primarily by the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility;
•a $36.9 million increase in restructuring charges, primarily related to higher expenditures under the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the expenditures incurred primarily under the 2018 Optimization Program in the year ended December 31, 2019;
•$26.1 million of lower gain on divested assets primarily related to the gain of $27.4 million recorded in 2019 on the sale of certain assets, compared to having non-material amounts of gains in 2020;
•a $12.2 million increase in amortization of debt issuance costs in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the additional debt issuance costs recorded and amortized in connection with the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions; and
•a $1.1 million increase in acquisition, integration and divestiture costs in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the amortization of the cash-based awards under Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the Revlon 2019 TIP (see Note 12, "Stock Compensation Plan," to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for additional details on the 2019 TIP);
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•$244.8 million of lower SG&A expenses in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, as well as from the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program;
•a $43.1 million increase in gain on the early extinguishment of debt in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to having had no gain in the prior year period, primarily due to $31.2 million recorded during the third quarter of 2020 and $11.9 million recorded during the second quarter of 2020 upon the repurchase and subsequent cancellation of approximately $157.2 million in aggregate principal face amount of Products Corporation's 5.75% Senior Notes;
•$4.1 million of favorable variance in foreign currency, resulting from $6.0 million in foreign currency gains during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1.9 million in foreign currency gains during the year ended December 31, 2019; and

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
•a $3.5 million net decrease in other miscellaneous expenses, net, in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower net periodic benefit costs in connection with the Company's pension plans.

Consolidated Net Sales:
Consolidated net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1,904.3 million, a $515.3 million decrease, or 21.3%, compared to $2,419.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the $2.9 million unfavorable FX impact, consolidated net sales decreased by $512.4 million, or 21.2%, during the year ended December 31, 2020. The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic contributed an estimated $505 million ($507 million XFX) to the Company's $515.3 million decline in net sales for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period. The XFX net sales decrease of $512.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 was due to: a $267.2 million, or 27.9%, decrease in Revlon segment net sales; a $101.2 million, or 22.3%, decrease in Fragrances segment net sales; a $83.5 million, or 17.1%, decrease in Portfolio segment net sale; and a $60.5 million, or 11.6%, decrease in Elizabeth Arden segment net sales.
Segment Results:
The Company's management evaluates segment profit for each of the Company's reportable segments. The Company allocates corporate expenses to each reportable segment to arrive at segment profit, as these expenses are included in the internal measure of segment operating performance. The Company defines segment profit as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses. Segment profit also excludes the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the segments' underlying operating performance. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales. For a reconciliation of segment profit to loss from continuing operations before income taxes, see Note 16, "Segment Data and Related Information," to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.

Revlon Segment
Revlon segment net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $688.4 million, a $270.4 million, or 28.2%, decrease, compared to $958.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the $3.2 million unfavorable FX impact, total Revlon segment net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $267.2 million, or 27.9%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic contributed an estimated $225 million ($225 million XFX) to the Revlon segment's decrease in net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period. The Revlon segment's XFX decrease in net sales of $267.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 was driven primarily by lower net sales of Revlon color cosmetics and, to a lower extent, lower net sales of Revlon-branded professional hair-care products, primarily in International regions, as well as lower net sales of Revlon ColorSilk hair color, primarily in North America. This decrease was due, primarily, to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mass retail channels and on salon activity, respectively, partially offset by increased net sales of Revlon-branded beauty tools and Revlon hair care products, primarily in North America.

Revlon segment profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 was $86.5 million, a $14.7 million, or 14.5%, decrease, compared to $101.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the $0.1 million favorable FX impact, Revlon segment profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $14.8 million, or 14.6%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was driven primarily by the Revlon segment's lower net sales, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic as described above, as well as moderately lower gross profit margin, partially offset by the segment's lower brand support and other SG&A expenses, driven by cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, as well as the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program.
Elizabeth Arden Segment
Elizabeth Arden segment net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $463.5 million, a $56.5 million, or 10.9%, decrease, compared to $520.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the $4.0 million favorable FX impact, Elizabeth Arden segment net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $60.5 million, or 11.6%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic contributed an estimated $117 million ($118 million XFX) to the Elizabeth Arden segment’s decrease in net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period. The Elizabeth Arden segment XFX decrease in net sales of $60.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 was driven primarily by lower net sales of certain Elizabeth Arden-branded skin care products, as well as color cosmetics, and lower net sales of certain Elizabeth Arden-branded fragrances, due, primarily, to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on foot traffic at department stores and other retail outlets, partially offset by higher net sales of Ceramide skin care products and, to a lower extent, by higher net sales of Green Tea fragrances.
Elizabeth Arden segment profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 was $39.6 million, a $2.0 million, or 5.3%, increase, compared to $37.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the $1.0 million favorable FX impact, Elizabeth Arden segment profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $1.0 million, or 2.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase was driven primarily by the Elizabeth Arden segment's lower other SG&A and brand support expenses and higher gross profit margin, driven by cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, as well as the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, partially offset by the segment's lower net sales, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic as described above.
Portfolio Segment
Portfolio segment net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $401.3 million, a $86.5 million, or 17.7%, decrease, compared to $487.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the $3.0 million unfavorable FX impact, total Portfolio segment net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by $83.5 million, or 17.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic contributed an estimated $82 million ($82 million XFX) to the Portfolio segment’s decrease in net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior year period. The Portfolio segment XFX decrease in net sales of $83.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 was driven primarily by lower net sales of Almay color cosmetics, American Crew men's grooming products, CND nail products, primarily in North America, as well as certain local and regional skin care products brands, driven, primarily, by the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mass retail channel and salons. This decrease was partially offset primarily by higher net sales of Creme of Nature products and of Cutex nail care products, as well as certain other local and regional products brand, primarily in North America.
Portfolio segment profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 was $47.4 million, a $2.4 million, or 5.3%, increase compared to $45.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the $0.4 million favorable FX impact, Portfolio segment profit in the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $2.0 million, or 4.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase was driven primarily by the Portfolio segment's lower other SG&A and brand support expenses, driven by cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, as well as the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, partially offset by the segment's lower net sales, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as described above, and slightly lower gross profit margin.

2020 decreased by 1.7 percentage points, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in gross margin in the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, was impacted by the negative effect of product mix, mainly attributable to the ongoing effects of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and higher manufacturing costs resulting, in part, from the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the impact of cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, as well as the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program.

•lower general and administrative expenses of approximately $81 million, primarily driven by cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, as well as the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program; and

| 2020 | 2019 | Change | ||||||||||||||||||
| Restructuring charges and other, net | $ | 49.7 | $ | 12.8 | $ | 36.9 | ||||||||||||||
Restructuring charges and other, net, increased $36.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to higher charges in connection with the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, compared to the expenditures incurred primarily under the 2018 Optimization Program during 2019.
Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program
Building upon its previously-announced 2018 Optimization Program, in March 2020 the Company announced that it was implementing a worldwide organizational restructuring (the “Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program”) designed to reduce the Company’s SG&A expenses, as well as cost of goods sold, improve the Company’s gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA and maximize productivity, cash flow and liquidity. The Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program includes rightsizing the organization and operating with more efficient workflows and processes. The leaner organizational structure is also expected to improve communication flow and cross-functional collaboration, leveraging the more efficient business processes.
As a result of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company expects to eliminate approximately 975 positions worldwide, including approximately 625 current employees and approximately 350 open positions of which approximately 915 were eliminated by December 31, 2020.
In March 2020, the Company began informing certain employees that were affected by the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program. While certain aspects of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program may be subject to consultations with employees, works councils, unions and/or governmental authorities, the Company substantially completed the employee-related actions during 2020 and expects to complete the other consolidation and outsourcing actions during 2021 and 2022.
In connection with implementing the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company recognized during 2020 $68.8 million of total pre-tax restructuring and related charges (the “2020 Restructuring Charges”), consisting primarily of employee-related costs, such as severance, retention and other contractual termination benefits. In addition, the Company expects restructuring charges in the range of $75 million to $85 million to be charged and paid during 2021 and 2022. The Company expects that substantially all of these restructuring and related charges will be paid in cash, with $51.5 million of the total charges paid in 2020, approximately $40 million to $45 million expected to be paid in 2021, with the balance expected to be paid in 2022. Since commencing the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program and through December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $68.8 million of restructuring and related charges under the 2020 Restructuring Program consisting of: (i) $50.5 million of severance and other personnel costs; and (ii) $18.3 million of lease and other restructuring-related charges that were recorded within SG&A. Of these charges, $37.9 million and $13.6 million restructuring charges and SG&A charges respectively, were paid through December 31, 2020.
As a result of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company expects to deliver in the range of $200 million to $230 million of annualized cost reductions from 2020 through the end of 2022, with approximately 50% of these annualized cost reductions to be realized from the headcount reductions occurring in 2020. During 2020, the Company realized approximately $127 million of in-year cost reductions.
2018 Optimization Program
During 2018, the Company announced its 2018 Optimization Program designed to streamline the Company’s operations, reporting structures and business processes, with the objective of maximizing productivity and improving profitability, cash flows and liquidity. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded, under the 2018 Optimization Program, $0.6 million due to the reversal of previously accrued severance, personnel benefits and other restructuring costs, offset by $0.8 million of other restructuring-related charges that were recorded within SG&A and cost of sales. The Company recognized approximately $39.7 million of cumulative total pre-tax restructuring and related charges under the 2018 Optimization Program since its inception in November 2018, consisting of employee-related costs, such as severance, pension and other termination costs, as well as other related charges within SG&A and cost of sales and approximately $6.5 million of additional capital

expenditures. As of December 31, 2020, restructuring and related charges to be paid in cash under the 2018 Optimization Program totaled approximately $32 million of the total charges, of which $30.7 million were already paid through December 31, 2020, with any residual balance expected to be paid during the remainder of 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $12.8 million of restructuring charges primarily related to the 2018 Optimization Program.

During the first, second and third quarters of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Company’s operations, the Company determined that indicators of potential impairment existed requiring the Company to perform interim impairment analyses. These indicators included a deterioration in the general economic conditions, developments in equity and credit markets, deterioration in some of the economic channels in which the Company's operates (especially in the mass retail channel), the recent trading values of the Company's capital stock and the corresponding decline in the Company’s market capitalization and the revision of the Company's expected future cash flows as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the first and second quarters of 2020 interim impairment analyses, the Company recorded $111.0 million and $33.1 million of total non-cash impairment charges on its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during 2020, respectively.
Furthermore, in the fourth quarter of 2020, in connection with its annual impairment analysis, the Company re-assessed whether further indicators of impairment existed that might result in additional impairment charges. Based upon such assessment, no additional impairment changes were recognized as of December 31, 2020.
For further information on these non-cash impairment charges, see Note 6, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.

The $4.1 million increase in foreign currency gains, net, during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily driven by the net favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations on certain U.S. Dollar denominated intercompany payables compared to the prior year's period.
Provision for income taxes:
The table below shows the Company's provision for income taxes for the periods presented:

| 2020 | 2019 | Change | ||||||||||||||||||
| Provision for income taxes | $ | 158.8 | $ | 0.2 | $ | 158.6 | ||||||||||||||
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $158.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The $158.6 million increase in the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to same period in 2019, was primarily due to: (i) the increase in the valuation allowance recorded on net federal deferred tax assets, (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) non-deductible impairment charges for which no tax benefit is recognized.
The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance recorded on the net federal deferred tax assets and the impact of non-deductible impairment charges, partially offset by the impact of the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act" (the "CARES Act"), signed into law on March 27, 2020 by President Trump, which resulted in a partial release of a valuation allowance on the Company's 2019 federal tax attributes associated with the limitation on the deductibility of interest.
The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions providing for refundable payroll tax credits, the deferral of employer social security tax payments, acceleration of alternative minimum tax credit refunds and the increase of the net interest deduction limitation from 30% to 50%. The Company has adopted the net interest deduction limitation of 50% for the taxable period ending December 31, 2020 as outlined in the CARES Act.
The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the valuation allowance related to the limitation on the deductibility of interest and the U.S. tax on the Company's foreign earnings.
The Company expects that its tax provision and effective tax rate in any individual quarter and year-to-date period will vary and may not be indicative of the Company's tax provision and effective tax rate for the full year.

COMBINED MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
As of December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that, based on its evaluation of objectively verifiable evidence, it is no longer more likely than not that its net federal deferred tax assets are recoverable. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the key assumptions used to determine positive and negative evidence included the Company’s cumulative taxable loss for the past three years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the Company's cost reduction initiatives and efficiency efforts, as well as the ongoing and prolonged impact COVID-19 pandemic on the Company. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $189.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 as a reserve against its net federal deferred tax assets.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2020, the Company had a liquidity position of $249.9 million, consisting of: (i) $97.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (with approximately $89.8 million held outside the U.S.); (ii) $168.0 million in available borrowing capacity under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which had $188.9 million drawn at such date); and less (iii) approximately $15.2 million of outstanding checks. Under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, as Products Corporation’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") was greater than 1.0 to 1.0 as of December 31, 2020, all of the approximately $168.0 million of availability under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was available as of such date.
Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility
On March 8, 2021, the Company amended its Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the revolving facility thereunder from September 7, 2021 to June 8, 2023. Additionally, on March 2, 2021, the Company refinanced its 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility that was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2021 with a $75 million asset-based term loan facility with a scheduled maturity date of March 2, 2024, subject to a springing maturity date of August 1, 2023 if, on such date, any principal amount of loans under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement due September 7, 2023 remain outstanding. For further details of these financing transactions, see Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K
5.75% Senior Notes Exchange Offer
On November 13, 2020, Products Corporation completed its previously-announced offer to exchange (as amended, the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of the then-outstanding $342.8 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes scheduled to mature on February 15, 2021 5.75%, on terms set forth in the amended and restated Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement dated October 23, 2020. Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, Products Corporation solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 5.75% Senior
Notes, dated as of February 13, 2013, among Products Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association (the “5.75% Senior Notes Indenture”) to eliminate substantially all of the restricted covenants and certain events of default provisions from the 5.75% Senior Notes Indenture. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 10, 2020 (the “Expiration Time”).
For each $1,000 principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes validly tendered before the Expiration Time, holders received either, at their option, (i) $275 in cash (plus a $50 early tender/consent fee payable for an aggregate of $325 in cash, or (ii) if the holder was an Eligible Holder (as hereinafter defined), a combination of (1) $200 in cash (plus a $50 early tender/consent fee, for an aggregate of $250 in cash, plus, (2) (A) the Per $1,000 Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) of $50 million in aggregate principal amount of new 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the Per $1,000 Pro Rata Share of $75 million in aggregate principal amount of the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans (as hereinafter defined) (the “Mixed Consideration”).
At the Expiration Time, $236 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes, representing 68.8% of the total outstanding principal amount of the 5.75% Senior Notes, was validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. On November 13, 2020, immediately after Products Corporation accepted for exchange the 5.75% Senior Notes that were validly tendered and made payment therefore, Products Corporation used cash on hand to redeem, effective as of November 13, 2020, the remaining $106.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes pursuant to the terms of the 5.75% Senior Notes Indenture. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the satisfaction and full discharge of the 5.75% Senior Notes, no 5.75% Senior Notes remained outstanding. Accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.75% Senior Notes that were tendered in the Exchange Offer was paid to, but not including, the settlement date of the Exchange Offer.
The 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans are new “Tranche B” term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $50 million, ranking junior in right of payment to the “Tranche A” revolving loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of Products Corporation and the guarantors under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement (such new Tranche B term loans, the “2020 ABL FILO Term Loans”). The 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans will mature the earlier of December 15, 2023 and six months after the maturity date of the Tranche A Loans (and any extension thereof in part or in whole). The 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (subject to a 1.75% floor) plus 8.50% per annum, accruing from the settlement date of the Exchange Offer. The borrowing base for the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans consists of an advance rate of 100% of eligible collateral with a customary push down reserve, with collateral consisting of: (i) a first-priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, cash, negotiable instruments, chattel paper, investment property (other than capital stock), equipment and real property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary exceptions (the “Priority Collateral”); and (ii) a second-priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary exclusions (other than the Priority Collateral).
The New BrandCo Second Lien Term Loans issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer are “Term B-2 Loans” in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million (ranking junior to the Term B-1 Loans and senior to the Term B-3 Loans with respect to liens on certain specified collateral) under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility (such Term B-2 Loans, the “New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans”).
The Exchange Offer with respect to the tendering holders represented a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, as both criteria for a TDR where met, namely: (i) the creditors granted a concession, and (ii) the Company was experiencing financial difficulties. Since the expected future undiscounted cash flows under the New 2020 ABL FILO Term Loan and the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans exchanged in the transaction are higher than the net carrying value of the original 5.75% Senior Notes remaining after any partial cash settlement (once prior loans with same lenders have also been considered, as applicable), no gain was recorded and a new effective interest rate was established based on the revised cash flows and the remaining net carrying value of the original 5.75% Senior Notes.
Following the closing of the Exchange Offer, as of December 31, 2020, the following aggregate principal amounts are outstanding:
•$50.0 million of New 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans; and
•$75.0 million of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans.
Following the applicability of the TDR guidance and based on a net carrying value of the original 5.75% Senior Notes of approximately $175.5 million remaining after partial cash settlements, future interest payments of approximately $50.5 million were also included in the carrying value of the restructured debt as of the day of closing of the Exchange Offer. Additionally, to the amounts stated above, $17.5 million of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans was added following the recognition of
Paid-In-Kind ("PIK") consent fees that were earned by the lenders on the day of closing of the Exchange Offer, (which are amortized over the term of the restructured debt agreements), in accordance with the BrandCo TSA as defined further below in this section within "Subsequent Amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility".
In accordance with the aforementioned TDR guidance, fees and expenses incurred to third parties in connection with consummating the Exchange Offer of approximately $13.8 million were expensed as professional fees within SG&A on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions
On May 7, 2020 (the “BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date”), Products Corporation entered into a term credit agreement (the “2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain financial institutions (the “2020 Facilities Lenders”) that are lenders or the affiliates of lenders under Products Corporation’s Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016 and amended on April 30, 2020 and as amended on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date, as further described below (as amended to date, the “2016 Term Loan Facility”) and the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, collectively referred to as the "2016 Senior Credit Facilities"). Pursuant to the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2020 Facilities Lenders provided Products Corporation with new and roll-up senior secured term loan facilities (the “2020 BrandCo Facilities” and, collectively, the "2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility" and, together with the use of proceeds thereof and the Extension Amendment, the “2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions”).
Principal and Maturity: The 2020 BrandCo Facilities consist of: (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount outstanding on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date of $815.0 million, plus the amount of certain fees and accrued interest that have been capitalized (the “2020 BrandCo Facility”); (ii) commitments in respect of a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $950 million (the “Roll-up BrandCo Facility”); and (iii) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount outstanding on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date of $3.0 million (the “Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility”). Additionally, on May 28, 2020, Products Corporation borrowed from the 2020 Facilities Lenders an additional $65.0 million of term loans under the 2020 BrandCo Facility to repay in full the 2020 Incremental Facility under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, as a result of which the 2020 BrandCo Facility at June 30, 2020 had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $910.6 million (including paid-in-kind closing fees of $29.1 million and paid-in-kind interest of $1.5 million that were capitalized). Additionally, during 2020, certain lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, representing $846.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding, rolled-up to the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility, as a result of which the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility at September 30, 2020 had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $846.0 million. The Company determined that the roll-up of such 2016 Term Loan Facility lenders into the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility represented a debt modification under U.S. GAAP, as the cash flow effect between the amount that Products Corporation owed to the participating lenders under the old debt instrument (i.e., the 2016 Term Loan Facility) and the amount that Products Corporation owed to such lenders after the consummation of the roll-up into the new debt instrument (i.e., the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility) on a present value basis was less than 10% and, thus, the debt instruments were not considered to be substantially different within the meaning of ASC 470, Debt, under U.S. GAAP.
The proceeds of the 2020 BrandCo Facility were used: (i) to repay in full approximately $200 million of indebtedness outstanding under Products Corporation’s 2019 Term Loan Facility; (ii) to repay in full and terminate commitments under the 2020 Incremental Facility; and (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions. The Company will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the Roll-up BrandCo Facility are available prior to the third anniversary of the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date to purchase at par an equivalent amount of any remaining term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility held by the lenders participating in the 2020 BrandCo Facility or their transferees. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2020, certain lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility due June 2023, representing $846.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding, rolled-up to the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility due June 2025, as a result of which the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility at September 30, 2020 have an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $846.0 million, with a remaining capacity for the roll-up of loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility of $107.0 million. See “Subsequent Amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility” regarding the Supporting BrandCo Lenders subsequently relinquishing certain Roll-up Rights and Products Corporation’s issuance of the BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration.
The 2020 BrandCo Facilities will mature on June 30, 2025, subject to a springing maturity 91 days prior to the August 1, 2024 maturity date of Products Corporation’s 6.25% Senior Notes if, on such date, $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remain outstanding.
The Company incurred approximately $119.3 million of new debt issuance costs in connection with closing the 2020 BrandCo Facility, which include paid-in kind amounts that are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the related liability and amortized to interest expense in accordance with the effective interest method over the term of the 2020 BrandCo Facilities.
Borrower, Guarantees and Security: Products Corporation is the borrower under the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and the 2020 BrandCo Facilities are guaranteed by certain of Products Corporation's indirect subsidiaries (the “BrandCos”) that hold certain intellectual property assets related to the Elizabeth Arden and American Crew brands, certain other Portfolio segment brands and certain owned Fragrance segment brands (the “Specified Brand Assets”). While the BrandCos do not guarantee the 2016 Term Loan Facility, all guarantors of the 2016 Term Loan Facility guarantee the 2020 BrandCo Facilities. All of the assets of the BrandCos (including all capital stock issued by the BrandCos) have been pledged to secure the 2020 BrandCo Facility on a first-priority basis, the Roll-up BrandCo Facility on a second-priority basis and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility on a third-priority basis and while such assets do not secure the 2016 Term Loan Facility, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities are secured on a pari passu basis by the assets securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility.
Contribution and License Agreements: In connection with the pledge of the Specified Brand Assets, Products Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries contributed the Specified Brand Assets to the BrandCos. Products Corporation entered into license and royalty arrangements on arm’s length terms with the relevant BrandCos to provide for the continued use of the Specified Brand Assets by Products Corporation and its subsidiaries during the term of the 2020 BrandCo Facilities.
Interest and Fees: Loans under the 2020 BrandCo Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 1.50%) plus (x) 10.50% per annum, payable not less than quarterly in arrears in cash and (y) 2.00% per annum payable not less than quarterly in-kind by adding such amount to the principal amount of outstanding loans under the 2020 BrandCo Facility. Loans under the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) plus 3.50% per annum, payable not less than quarterly in arrears in cash.
Affirmative and Negative Covenants: The 2020 BrandCo Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit Products Corporation’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur liens; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) make investments; (v) make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity; (vi) make prepayments of contractually subordinated, unsecured or junior lien debt; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; (viii) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (ix) change their lines of business; (x) restrict dividends from their subsidiaries or restrict liens; (xi) change their fiscal year; and (xii) modify the terms of certain debt. The 2020 BrandCo Facilities also restrict distributions and other payments from the BrandCos based on certain minimum thresholds of net sales with respect to the Specified Brand Assets. The 2020 BrandCo Facilities also contain certain customary representations, warranties and events of default, including a cross default provision making it an event of default under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement if there is an event of default under Products Corporation’s existing 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement or the indentures governing the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture. The lenders under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement may declare all outstanding loans under the 2020 BrandCo Facilities to be due and payable immediately upon an event of default. Under such circumstances, the lenders under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, and the holders under the Senior Notes Indentures may also declare all outstanding amounts under such instruments to be due and payable immediately as a result of similar cross default or cross acceleration provisions, subject to certain exceptions and limitations described in the relevant instruments.
Prepayments: The 2020 BrandCo Facilities are subject to certain mandatory prepayments, including from the net proceeds from the issuance of certain additional debt and asset sale proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property, subject to certain exceptions. The 2020 BrandCo Facilities may be repaid at any time, subject to customary prepayment premiums.
The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility at December 31, 2020 was $1,868.4 million, including $846.0 million of principal rolled-up from the 2016 Term Loan Facility to the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility.
Subsequent Amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility
Prior to consummating the Exchange Offer Products Corporation and certain lenders under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility, representing more than a majority in aggregate principal amount of loans thereunder (the “Supporting BrandCo
Lenders”), entered into a Transaction Support Agreement (the “BrandCo TSA”) under which the Supporting BrandCo Lenders agreed to take certain actions to facilitate the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, including, among other things:
•Relinquishing certain rights of such Supporting BrandCo Lenders to “roll-up” loans held by such Supporting BrandCo Lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility into New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility (the “Roll-up Rights”);
•Tendering any then-existing 5.75% Senior Notes held by such Supporting BrandCo Lenders into the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation;
•Consenting to amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility to permit the exchange of then-existing 5.75% Senior Notes for the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum and the payment of the BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration (as hereinafter defined);
•Consenting to other amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility and the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to permit the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation to be completed as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum; and
•Supporting and cooperating with Products Corporation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the BrandCo TSA and the Offering Memorandum, including the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.
In connection with such amendments, Products Corporation agreed to provide the following consideration (collectively, the “BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration”) upon the successful consummation of the Exchange Offer:
1.$12.5 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans as a fee to the Supporting BrandCo Lenders under the BrandCo TSA in connection with such Supporting BrandCo Lenders’ relinquishment of their Roll-up Rights;
2.$10.0 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans to one of the Supporting BrandCo Lenders in exchange for $18.7 million aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation’s 6.25% Senior Notes held by such Supporting BrandCo Lender; and
3.to all lenders under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility (including the Supporting BrandCo Lenders), an amendment fee that was payable pro rata based on principal amount of loans consenting, consisting of, at Products Corporation's option, either (x) an aggregate of $2.5 million of cash or (y) $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans. Pursuant to the BrandCo Amendment, Products Corporation elected to pay this fee in-kind in the form of $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans.
Upon the successful closing of the Exchange Offer, the Company capitalized the aforementioned paid-in-kind closing fees of $12.5 million and $5.0 million to the aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans issued in connection with the Exchange Offer.
Upon the successful closing of the Exchange Offer, the Company evaluated the aforementioned $10.0 million of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans issued to one of the Supporting BrandCo Lenders in exchange for $18.7 million aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 held by such Supporting BrandCo Lender and determined that it represented a TDR in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, as both criteria for a TDR where met, namely: (i) the creditors granted a concession, and (ii) the Company was experiencing financial difficulties. Since the expected future undiscounted cash flows under the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans exchanged in the transaction are higher than the net carrying value of the original 6.25% Senior Notes held by this lender (once prior loans with the same lender have also been considered), no gain was recorded and a new effective interest rate was established based on the revised cash flows and the net carrying value of the above-mentioned 6.25% Senior Notes that were exchanged in the transaction. Following the applicability of the TDR guidance, future interest payments of $8.7 million as of the day of closing of the Exchange Offer were also included in the carrying value of the restructured debt.
On November 13, 2020, Products Corporation entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 (the “BrandCo Amendment”) to the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement in connection with the Exchange Offer in order to, among other things, provide for the incurrence of $75 million in aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans (exclusive of the BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration). The New BrandCo Second Lien Term Loans are a separate tranche of “Term B-2 Loans” (ranking junior to the Term B-1 Loans and senior to the Term B-3 Loans with respect to liens on certain specified collateral) under the BrandCo Credit Agreement. Except as to the use of proceeds, the terms of the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans are substantially consistent with the other Term B-2 Loans. In connection with the BrandCo Amendment, Products Corporation paid certain fees to the lenders in-kind in the form of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans in accordance with the BrandCo TSA.
2016 Term Loan Facility Extension Amendment
In connection with the closing of the 2020 BrandCo Facility on May 7, 2020, term loan lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility were offered the opportunity to participate at par in the 2020 BrandCo Facilities based on their holdings of term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. Lenders participating in the 2020 BrandCo Facilities, as well as other consenting lenders representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the loans and commitments under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, consented to an amendment to the 2016 Term Loan Facility (the “Extension Amendment”) that, among other things, made certain modifications to the covenants thereof and extended the maturity date of certain consenting lenders’ term loans (“Extended Term Loans”) to June 30, 2025, subject to (i) the same September 7, 2023 springing maturity date of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility if, on such date, $75 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility remains outstanding, and (ii) a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the August 1, 2024 maturity date of the 6.25% Senior Notes if, on such date, $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remains outstanding. The Extension Amendment became effective on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $30.6 million in aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans were outstanding after giving effect to the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions. The Extended Term Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) plus 3.50% per annum, payable not less than quarterly in arrears in cash, consistent with the interest rate applicable to the non-extended term loans. Approximately $17.0 million of accrued interest outstanding on the 2016 Term Loan Facility was paid on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date. As a result of such transaction, as of December 31, 2020, $853.3 million of the 2016 Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on the Original Maturity Date and $30.6 million is scheduled to mature on the Extended Maturity Date and, thus, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2016 Term Loan Facility at December 31, 2020 was $883.9 million.
Repurchases of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021
On May 7, 2020, Products Corporation used a portion of the proceeds from the 2020 BrandCo Facility to repurchase and subsequently cancel $50 million in aggregate principal face amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes. Products Corporation also paid approximately $0.7 million of accrued interest outstanding on the 5.75% Senior Notes on May 7, 2020. After the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date, Products Corporation repurchased and subsequently canceled in July 2020 a further $62.8 million in aggregate principal face amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes. Furthermore, during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2020, Products Corporation repurchased and subsequently canceled an additional $44.4 million in aggregate principal face amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2020, Products Corporation had repurchased and subsequently cancelled a total of approximately $157.2 million in aggregate principal face amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $43.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was recorded within "Gain on early extinguishment of debt" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. See hereinafter for more information regarding Products Corporation's 5.75% Senior Notes and the related Exchange Offer. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the satisfaction and full discharge of the remaining 5.75% Senior Notes, no 5.75% Senior Notes remain outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
Prepayment of the 2019 Term Loan Facility due 2023
On the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date, Products Corporation used a portion of the proceeds from the 2020 BrandCo Facility to fully prepay the entire principal amount outstanding under its 2019 Term Loan Facility, totaling $200 million, plus approximately $1.3 million of accrued interest outstanding thereon, as well as approximately $33.5 million in prepayment premiums, $10.3 million in lenders' fees, $0.3 million in legal fees and approximately $2.0 million in other third party fees. As the lenders under the 2019 Term Loan Facility participated in the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility, the Company determined that the full repayment of the 2019 Term Loan Facility represented a debt modification under U.S. GAAP as the cash flow effect between the old debt instrument (i.e., the 2019 Term Loan Facility) and the new debt instrument (i.e., the 2020 BrandCo Facility) on a present value basis was less than 10% and, thus, the debt instruments were not considered to be substantially different within the meaning of ASC 470, Debt, under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the $33.5 million of prepayment premiums, as well as the $10.3 million in other lenders' fees were capitalized as part of the aforementioned $119.3 million of total new debt issuance costs for the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility, while the aforementioned $0.3 million of legal fees and $2.0 million in other third party fees were expensed as incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Amendment to the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility
On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2018 Foreign Asset Based Term Facility, which had an original outstanding principal amount of €77 million. Such amendment provided for the following:
•increasing the interest rate on the loan from EURIBOR (with a floor 0.50%) plus a margin of 6.50% to EURIBOR (with a floor 0.50%) plus a margin of 7.00%;
•amending the percentages applied in computing the borrowing base from 85% to 78.75% for eligible accounts receivable and from 90% to 80% against the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory;
•adding a springing maturity date of 91 days prior to the February 15, 2021 maturity of the 5.75% Senior Notes if any of Products Corporation's 5.75% Senior Notes remained outstanding on such date;
•requiring a mandatory prepayment of €5.0 million; and
•clarifying certain terms and waiving certain provisions in connection with the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions.
Approximately $0.4 million of amendment fees paid to the lenders under 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility were capitalized and are amortized to interest expense, together with any unamortized debt issuance costs outstanding prior to the amendment. The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility was a euro-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan facility that various, mostly foreign subsidiaries of Products Corporation entered into on July 9, 2018 and which was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, there was the Euro equivalent of $59.2 million aggregate principal outstanding under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, reflecting a repayment of €28.5 million made during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
The 2018 Foreign Asset Based Term Facility was subsequently refinanced and replaced in its entirety by the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
Amendments to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement
On October 23, 2020 (the “Amendment No. 5 Effective Date”), Products Corporation entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to its Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016 (as amended from time to time, the “Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility”, and the revolving credit facility thereunder, the “Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility” the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, together with the 2016 Credit Agreement, the “2016 Credit Agreements”).
The Amendment No. 5 amended and restated the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement to add a new Tranche B consisting of $50 million aggregate principal amount of “first-in, last-out” Tranche B term loans (such new Tranche B, the “2020 ABL FILO Term Loan Facility”). The Amendment No. 5 also required Products Corporation to maintain "Excess Availability" (as defined in Amendment No. 5) of at least $85 million from the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date until the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer were consummated (such date, the “Exchange Offer Effective Date”). As a result, on October 23, 2020, Products Corporation repaid $35 million of Tranche A loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement.
On the Exchange Offer Effective Date, Products Corporation’s As-Adjusted Liquidity was required to be at least $175 million (which condition was satisfied) and Products Corporation could not hold more than $100 million in cash or Cash Equivalents (as defined in the 5th Amendment). Furthermore, the 5th Amendment provided that a $30 million reserve will be automatically and immediately established against the Tranche A Borrowing Base (as defined in the 5th Amendment) if the results of ongoing appraisals and field exams were not delivered to the administrative agent prior to the occurrence of certain specified defaults.
Products Corporation paid customary fees to Alter Domus (US) LLC as the administrative agent for the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loan Facility. Except as to maturity date, interest, borrowing base and differences due to their nature as term loans, the terms of the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans are otherwise substantially consistent with the Tranche A Revolving Loans.
On May 7, 2020, in connection with consummating the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions, Products Corporation entered into Amendment No. 4 to (the “Amendment No. 4”) to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Amendment No. 4, among other things, made certain amendments and provided for certain waivers relating to the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. In exchange for such amendments and waivers, the interest rate margin applicable to loans under Tranche A of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility increased by 0.75%. In connection with the amendments to the 2018 Tranche B of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which was fully repaid on its May 17, 2020 extended maturity date), Products Corporation incurred approximately $1.1 million in lender's fees that upon its full repayment were entirely expensed within “Miscellaneous, net” on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as of December 31, 2020.
On April 17, 2020 (the “FILO Closing Date”), Products Corporation entered into Amendment No. 3 to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (“Amendment No. 3”), pursuant to which, the maturity date applicable to $36.3 million of loans under the $41.5 million senior secured first in, last out 2018 Tranche B under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (the “2018 FILO Tranche”) was extended from April 17, 2020 to May 17, 2020 (the “Amendment No. 3 Extended Maturity Date”). Products Corporation repaid the remaining approximately $5.2 million of the 2018 FILO Tranche loans as of the FILO Closing Date. In addition, Amendment No. 3 increased the applicable interest margin for the 2018 FILO Tranche by 0.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. Products Corporation fully repaid the 2018 FILO Tranche on the Amendment No. 3 Extended Maturity Date.
Total borrowings at face amount under Tranche A and Tranche B of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2020 were $138.9 million and $50 million, respectively.
MacAndrews & Forbes 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility
In light of the upcoming maturity on July 9, 2021 of the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility (as hereinafter defined) and the expiration on December 31, 2020 of the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility (see "Previous Years' Debt Related Transaction" for further details about the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Agreement), the Company sought to refinance or extend both the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility. Products Corporation sought to do so in order to reinforce its liquidity position to be better able to address the current business and economic environment and prepare for any further potential disruptions to its business and operations as may be brought on by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or other events.
As a result, and anticipating a future refinancing of the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility (a “Future Refinanced European ABL Facility”), on September 28, 2020, Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes Group, LLC (“M&F”) entered into the Second Amended and Restated 2019 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit Facility (the “2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility”), which amended and restated the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility and will provide Products Corporation with up to a $30 million tranche of a new facility of the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility (the “New European ABL FILO Facility”) that would be secured on a “last-out” basis by the same collateral as the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility or, if no Future Refinanced European ABL Facility is obtained, a stand-alone $30 million credit facility secured by the same collateral as the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility when that facility is terminated, in each case, subject to a borrowing base. As of December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, and the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility terminated on such date. M&F’s commitment in respect of the New European ABL FILO Facility survived the termination of the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility and, if not used, would have terminated on July 9, 2021.
The New European ABL FILO Facility would mature on (x) the maturity date of any such Future Refinanced European ABL Facility or (y) if there is no Future Refinanced European ABL Facility, July 9, 2022. To the extent the Future Refinanced European ABL Facility exceeds $35.0 million in principal amount, the amount available under the New European ABL FILO Facility would decrease on a dollar-for-dollar basis, such that, if Products Corporation were able to obtain a Future Refinanced ABL Facility of $65.0 million from third parties, there would be no amounts available under the New European ABL FILO Facility. The interest rate for the New European ABL FILO Facility will be LIBOR plus 10.00%. The covenants for the New European ABL FILO Facility would be substantially the same as those applicable to the 2018 European ABL Facility.
Upon the closing of the 2021 Asset-Based Term Facility on March 2, 2021 without the participation of M&F as a lender, M&F’s commitment in respect of the New European ABL FILO Facility under the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility terminated in accordance with its terms (see Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements).
Incremental Revolving Credit Facility under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement
On April 30, 2020, Products Corporation entered into a Joinder Agreement (the “2020 Joinder Agreement”), with Revlon, certain of their subsidiaries and certain existing lenders (the “Incremental Lenders”) under Products Corporation’s 2016 Term Loan Agreement (the “2016 Term Loan Agreement”) to provide for a $65 million incremental revolving credit facility (the “2020 Incremental Facility”). On the closing of the 2020 Incremental Facility, Products Corporation borrowed $63.5 million of revolving loans for working capital purposes and subsequently on May 11, 2020 Products Corporation also borrowed the additional $1.5 million of delayed funding revolving loans. Prior to its full repayment on May 28, 2020, amounts outstanding under the 2020 Incremental Facility bore interest at a rate of (x) LIBOR plus 16% or (y) an Alternate Base Rate plus 15%, at Products Corporation’s option. Except as to pricing, maturity and differences due to its revolving nature, the terms of the 2020 Incremental Facility were otherwise substantially consistent with the existing term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. On May 28, 2020, the 2020 Incremental Facility was repaid in full, and the commitments thereunder terminated. Upon such repayment, approximately $2.9 million of upfront commitment fees that Products Corporation incurred in connection with consummating the 2020 Incremental Facility were entirely expensed within "Miscellaneous, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Changes in Cash Flows
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $102.5 million, compared with $104.5 million at December 31, 2019. The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods presented:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||||||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | ||||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (97.3) | $ | (68.3) | |||||||
| Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities | (10.3) | 2.1 | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 102.5 | 84.3 | |||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 3.1 | (1.1) | |||||||||

| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period | $ | 102.5 | $ | 104.5 | |||||||
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $97.3 million and $68.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily driven by lower net sales, primarily due to the COVID-19 impacts described above, partially offset by the upfront cash proceeds of $72.5 million obtained in connection with the Helen of Troy License Agreement, as well as cost reductions achieved through the Company's initiatives designed to mitigate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, including the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $2.1 million of net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily related to the effect of proceeds from the sale of certain assets of $31.1 million in the prior year, with no corresponding amount in the current year.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $102.5 million and $84.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily included:
•$880.0 of borrowings under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility; and
•$4.3 million of increases in short-term borrowings and overdraft;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•$200.0 million used to fully repay the 2019 Term Loan Facility;
•$281.4 million used to repurchase approximately $324.5 million in aggregate principal face amount of Products Corporation's 5.75% Senior Notes;
•$133.5 million used to partially repay the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement;
•$122.0 million used to pay financing costs incurred in connection with the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions and the 2020 Exchange Offer;
•$31.4 million used to partially repay the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Loan; and
•$11.5 million used to partially repay the 2016 Term Loan Facility.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily included:
•$200.0 million of borrowings under the 2019 Term Loan Facility;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•$62.6 million of repayments under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility;
•$18.0 million of repayments under the 2016 Term Loan Facility;
•$17.3 million of decreases in short-term borrowings and overdraft; and
•$15.3 million of payments of financing costs incurred in connection with consummating the 2019 Term Loan Facility in August 2019 and the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, which were $14.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Long-Term Debt Instruments
For detailed information on the terms and conditions of Products Corporation’s various outstanding debt instruments, including, without limitation, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities, 2016 Term Loan Facility, Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, 2019 Term Loan Facility (which was fully repaid as part of consummating the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions), 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility (which was fully repaid and refinanced by the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility) and 6.25% Senior Notes, see the aforementioned discussion in this Form 10-K under “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Consummation of 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions” and Note 8, "Debt," and Note 21, "Subsequent Events," to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K, as well as "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources," in this Form 10-K. For information regarding certain risks related to the Company’s indebtedness, see Item
1A. “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-K, as updated by Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-Qs filed with the SEC during 2020.
Covenants
Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, as well as with all applicable covenants under its 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture, in each case as of December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, the aggregate principal amounts outstanding and availability under Products Corporation’s various revolving credit facilities were as follows:
| Commitment | Borrowing Base | Aggregate principal amount outstanding at December 31, 2020 | Availability at December 31, 2020 (a) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility | $ | 400.0 | $ | 356.9 | $ | 188.9 | $ | 168.0 | |||||||||||||||
| 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility | $ | 30.0 | N/A | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||||||||||||
(a) Availability as of December 31, 2020 is based upon the borrowing base then in effect under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility of $356.9 million, less $188.9 million then drawn consisting of $138.9 million Tranche A revolving loans and $50 million of 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans. As Products Corporation’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was greater than 1.0 to 1.0 as of December 31, 2020, all of the $168.0 million of availability under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was available as of such date. The 2018 Tranche B under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was fully repaid in May 2020. The revolving commitments under the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility were terminated on December 31, 2020.
Sources and Uses
The Company’s principal sources of funds are expected to be operating revenues, cash on hand and funds that may be available from time to time for borrowing under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and other permissible borrowings. The 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the Senior Notes Indentures and the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement contain certain provisions that by their terms limit Products Corporation's and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company’s principal uses of funds are expected to be the payment of operating expenses, including payments in connection with the purchase of permanent wall displays; capital expenditure requirements; debt service payments and costs; cash tax payments; pension and other post-retirement benefit plan contributions; payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs, such as the 2018 Optimization Program and the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program; severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs; business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any; additional debt and/or equity repurchases, if any; costs related to litigation; and payments in connection with discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting and/or entering certain territories and/or channels of trade. For information regarding certain risks related to the Company’s indebtedness and cash flows, see Item 1A. Risk Factors - "A substantial portion of Products Corporation's indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates and the potential discontinuation or replacement of LIBOR could result in an increase to our interest expense."
The Company’s cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $9.8 million. The Company expects that cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans will be approximately $29 million in the aggregate for 2021. The Company’s cash taxes paid in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $18.6 million. The Company expects to pay net cash taxes totaling approximately $0 million to $10 million in the aggregate during 2021. For a further discussion, see Note 11, "Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits," and Note 13, "Income Taxes," to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this 2020 Form 10-K.
The Company’s purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures in the year ended December 31, 2020 were $30.8 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The Company expects that purchases of permanent wall displays will total approximately $45 million to $50 million in the aggregate during 2021 and expects that capital expenditures will total approximately $25 million to $30 million in the aggregate during 2021.
The Company has undertaken, and continues to assess, refine and implement, a number of programs to efficiently manage its working capital, including, among other things, initiatives intended to optimize inventory levels over time; centralized procurement to secure discounts and efficiencies; prudent management of trade receivables and accounts payable; and controls
on general and administrative spending. In the ordinary course of business, the Company’s source or use of cash from operating activities may vary on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of working capital flows. For certain of the Company’s other recent cost reduction initiatives, see “COVID-19 Impact on the Company’s Business” under the Overview section of this "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations".
Continuing to execute the Company’s business initiatives could include taking advantage of additional opportunities to reposition, repackage or reformulate one or more brands or product lines, launching additional new products, acquiring businesses or brands (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories), further refining the Company’s approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure. Any of these actions, the intended purpose of which would be to create value through improving the Company's financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities. Any such activities may be funded with operating revenues, cash on hand, funds that may be available from time to time under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, other permissible borrowings and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company’s total debt.
The Company may also, from time-to-time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt obligations and/or equity in open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated purchase transactions or otherwise and may seek to refinance some or all of its indebtedness based upon market conditions. Any such retirement or purchase of debt and/or equity may be funded with operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material. (See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Consummation of 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions” regarding the Company’s repurchase of certain 5.75% Senior Notes during the second and third quarters of 2020).
The Company expects that operating revenues, cash on hand and funds that may be available from time-to-time for borrowing under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and other permissible borrowings will be sufficient to enable the Company to pay its operating expenses for 2020, including payments in connection with the purchase of permanent wall displays, capital expenditures, debt service payments and costs, cash tax payments, pension and other post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs, such as, currently, primarily the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any, debt and/or equity repurchases, if any, costs related to litigation, discontinuing non-core business lines and/or entering and/or exiting certain territories and/or channels of trade. The Company also expects to generate additional liquidity from cost reductions resulting from the implementation of, currently, primarily the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, and cost reductions generated from other cost control initiatives, as well as funds provided by selling certain assets in connection with the Company's ongoing Strategic Review.
There can be no assurance that available funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements on a consolidated basis, as, among other things, the Company’s liquidity can be impacted by a number of factors, including its level of sales, costs and expenditures, as well as accounts receivable and inventory, which serve as the principal variables impacting the amount of liquidity available under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. For example, subject to certain exceptions, loans under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility must be prepaid to the extent that outstanding loans exceed the borrowing base, consisting of accounts receivable and inventory. For information regarding certain risks related to the Company’s indebtedness and cash flows, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this 2020 Form 10-K.
If the Company’s anticipated level of revenues is not achieved because of, among other things, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty products in one or more of the Company's segments, whether attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise; adverse changes in tariffs, foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company’s products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or sales channels, such as due to any further consumption declines that the Company has experienced; inventory management by the Company's customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; retail store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; or less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without
limitation, for the purchase of permanent displays, capital expenditures, debt service payments and costs, cash tax payments, pension and other post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs (such as the 2018 Optimization Program and the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program), severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any, additional debt and/or equity repurchases, if any, costs related to litigation, discontinuing non-core business lines and/or entering and/or exiting certain territories and/or channels of trade, advertising, promotional and marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s current sources of funds may be insufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements.
Any such developments, if significant, could reduce the Company’s revenues and operating income and could adversely affect Products Corporation’s ability to comply with certain financial and/or other covenants under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, 2016 Credit Agreements, the 6.25% Senior Notes indenture and/or the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement and in such event the Company could be required to take measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending. For further discussion of certain risks associated with the Company's business and indebtedness, see Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this 2020 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
The Company does not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same set of facts and circumstances, could develop a different conclusion. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company's most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Sales Returns:
The Company allows customers to return their unsold products when they meet certain company-established criteria as outlined in the Company’s trade terms. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, its estimates of sales returns based primarily upon historical rate of actual product returns, planned product discontinuances, new product launches and estimates of customer inventory and promotional sales, which would permit customers to return products based upon the Company’s trade terms. The Company records estimated sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales, and an increase in accrued liabilities and inventories.
Returned products, which are recorded as inventories, are valued based upon the amount that the Company expects to realize upon their subsequent disposition. The physical condition and marketability of the returned products are the major factors the Company considers in estimating realizable value. Cost of sales includes the cost of refurbishment of returned products. Actual returns, as well as realized values on returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the Company’s estimates if factors such as product discontinuances, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s estimates and expectations and, in the case of actual product returns, if economic conditions differ significantly from the Company’s estimates and expectations. For returned products that the Company expects to resell at a profit, the Company records, in addition to sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales and an increase to accrued liabilities for the amount expected to be refunded to the customer, an increase to the asset account used to reflect the Company's right to recover products. The amount of the asset account is valued based upon the former carrying amount of the product (i.e., inventory), less any expected costs to recover the products. As the estimated product returns that are expected to be resold at a profit do not comprise a significant amount of the Company's net sales or assets, the Company does not separately report these amounts.

Pension Benefits:
The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded pension and other retirement plans in various forms covering employees who meet the applicable eligibility requirements. The Company uses several statistical and other factors in an attempt to estimate future events in calculating the liability and net periodic benefit income/cost related to these plans. These factors include assumptions about the discount rate, expected long-term return on plan assets and rate of future compensation increases as determined annually by the Company, within certain guidelines, which assumptions would be subject to revisions if significant events occur during the year. The Company uses December 31st as its measurement date for defined benefit pension plan obligations and plan assets.
The Company applies the "full yield curve" approach, an alternative approach from the single weighted-average discount rate approach, to calculate the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for pension and other post-retirement benefits. Under this method, the discount rate assumption was built through the application of specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows for each of the Company's pension and other retirement plans.
The Company utilized a 2.18% weighted-average discount rate in 2020 for the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans, compared to a 3.01% weighted-average discount rate in 2019. The Company utilized a 1.33% weighted-average discount rate for the Company’s international defined benefit pension plans in 2020, compared to a 1.81% weighted-average discount rate selected in 2019. The discount rates are used to measure the benefit obligations at the measurement date and the net periodic benefit income/cost for the subsequent calendar year and are reset annually using data available at the measurement date. The changes in the discount rates used for 2020 were primarily due to observed decreases in long-term interest yields on high-quality corporate bonds during 2020. At December 31, 2020, the decrease in the discount rates from December 31, 2019 had the effect of increasing the Company’s projected pension benefit obligation by approximately $50.5 million.
In selecting its expected long-term rate of return on its plan assets, the Company considers a number of factors, including, without limitation, recent and historical performance of plan assets, the plan portfolios' asset allocations over a variety of time periods compared with third-party studies, the performance of the capital markets in recent years and other factors, as well as advice from various third parties, such as the plans' advisors, investment managers and actuaries. While the Company considered both the recent performance and the historical performance of plan assets, the Company’s assumptions are based primarily on its estimates of long-term, prospective rates of return. The difference between actual and expected return on plan assets is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and the resulting gains or losses are amortized over future periods as a component of the net periodic benefit cost. For the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans, the expected long-term rate of return on the pension plan assets used was 5.50% and 6.00% for 2020 and 2019. The weighted-average expected long-term rate of return used for the Company’s international plans was 3.39% for 2020 and 4.86% for 2019. For 2020, the actual return on pension plan assets was $35.9 million, as compared with expected return on plan assets of $22.8 million. The resulting net deferred gain of $13.1 million, when combined with gains and losses from previous years, will be amortized over periods ranging from approximately 10 to 30 years. The actual return on plan assets for 2020 was above expectations, primarily due to higher returns from investments in developed equity markets, bank loans and bond yields.
The table below reflects the Company’s estimates of the possible effects that changes in the discount rates and expected long-term rates of return would have had on its 2020 net periodic benefit costs and its projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2020 for the Company’s principal defined benefit pension plans, with all other assumptions remaining constant:
| Effect of | Effect of | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 25 basis points increase | 25 basis points decrease | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net periodic benefit costs | Projected pension benefit obligation | Net periodic benefit costs | Projected pension benefit obligation | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Expected long-term rate of return | $ | (1.5) | $ | — | $ | 0.6 | $ | — | ||||||||||||||||||
The rate of future compensation increases is another assumption used by the Company’s third-party actuarial consultants for pension accounting. The rate of future compensation increases used for the Company’s projected pension benefit obligation in 2019 was 3.50% for the UAW Plan. During 2019, the UAW Plan was frozen and the rate of future compensation increase is no longer applicable for the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans for 2020. Such increase was also not applied to the

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Revlon Employees’ Retirement Plan and the Revlon Pension Equalization Plan, as the rate of future compensation increases is no longer relevant to such plans due to plan amendments that effectively froze these plans as of December 31, 2009.
In addition, the Company's actuarial consultants also use other factors such as withdrawal and mortality rates. The actuarial assumptions used by the Company may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates or longer or shorter life spans of participants, among other things. Differences from these assumptions could significantly impact the actual amount of net periodic benefit cost and liability recorded by the Company.
To determine the fiscal 2021 net periodic benefit income/cost, the Company is using the "full yield curve" approach described above to separately calculate discount rates for each of the service and interest components. The following table represents the weighted average discount rates used in calculating each component of service and interest costs for the Company's U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans:
| U.S. Plans | International Plans | ||||||||||
| Interest cost on projected benefit obligation | 1.49 | % | 1.27 | % | |||||||
Service cost(a) | N/A | 0.24 | % | ||||||||
Interest cost on service cost(a) | N/A | 0.09 | % | ||||||||
(a) Service cost and interest on service cost are no longer applicable for the U.S. plans as the UAW Plan was frozen during 2019.
For 2021, the Company is using long-term rates of return on pension plan assets of 4.50% and 3.46% for its U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans, respectively. The Company expects that the impact of the changes in discount rates and the return on plan assets in 2021 will result in net periodic benefit cost of $4.8 million for 2021, compared to $5.5 million of net periodic benefit cost in 2020, excluding the curtailment gain.
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets:
In determining the fair values of net assets acquired, including trade names, customer relationships and other intangible assets, and resulting goodwill related to the Company's business acquisitions, the Company considers, among other factors, the analyses of historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of the acquired business. The fair values of the acquired intangible assets are primarily calculated using a discounted cash flow approach.
Determining fair value requires significant estimates and assumptions based on evaluating a number of factors, such as marketplace participants, product life cycles, consumer awareness, brand history and future expansion expectations. There are significant judgments inherent in a discounted cash flow approach, including in selecting appropriate discount rates, hypothetical royalty rates, contributory asset capital charges, estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows and identifying appropriate terminal growth rate assumptions. The discount rates used in discounted cash flow analyses are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows generated by the respective acquired intangible assets.
Determining an acquired intangible asset's useful life requires management judgment and is based on evaluating a number of factors, including the expected use of the asset, consumer awareness, trade name history and future expansion expectations, as well as any contractual provisions that could limit or extend an asset's useful life. The Company believes that an acquired trade name has an indefinite life if it has a history of strong revenue and cash flow performance, and the Company has the intent and ability to support the trade name with marketplace spending for the foreseeable future. If this indefinite-lived criteria is not met, acquired trade names are amortized over their expected useful lives, which generally range from 5 to 20 years.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company implemented its brand-centric organizational structure which is built around four global brand teams: Revlon; Elizabeth Arden; Portfolio; and Fragrances, which also represent the Company's reporting segments. Concurrent with the change in reporting segments, goodwill was reassigned to the affected reporting units that have been identified within each reporting segment using a relative fair value allocation approach as outlined in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Goodwill totaled $563.7 million and $673.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, goodwill of $265.4 million, $87.9 million, $89.5 million and $120.9 million related to the Revlon, Portfolio, Elizabeth Arden and Fragrances segments, respectively. Indefinite-lived intangibles totaled $115.9 million and $143.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but rather are reviewed annually for impairment using October 1st carrying values, or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the current carrying amounts may not be recovered. Under this standard, the Company annually has the option to first assess qualitatively, based on relevant events and circumstances, whether it is more likely than not that there

(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
has been an impairment, or perform a quantitative analysis to assess the existence of any such impairment. If the qualitative analysis shows that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is higher than its carrying amount, the quantitative analysis is not required. If the qualitative analysis fails, the quantitative analysis is required. Per the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," adopted by the Company as of October 1, 2018, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the goodwill impairment charge is equal to the amount of such difference. The inputs and assumptions utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level.
The Company establishes its reporting units based on its current reporting structure, product characteristics and management. Within each of the Elizabeth Arden and Portfolio segments, the Company has identified two reporting units. The two reporting units within the Elizabeth Arden segment are: (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, which includes Elizabeth Arden skin care and color cosmetics brands; and (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, which includes Elizabeth Arden branded fragrances. The two reporting units within the Portfolio segment are: (i) Mass Portfolio, which includes the Company's brands sold primarily through the mass retail channel; and (ii) Professional Portfolio, which includes the Company's brands sold primarily through professional salons. The Company's Revlon and Fragrances reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 16, "Segment Data and Related Information," in the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this 2020 Form 10-K. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill has been allocated to each reporting unit to the extent that goodwill relates to each reporting unit.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of certain trade names, are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter using October 1st carrying values similar to goodwill, in accordance with ASC 350, and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of its intangible assets exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company writes off the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for intangible assets in the year in which the asset becomes fully amortized.
Finite-lived intangible assets are considered for impairment under ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"), upon the occurrence of certain "triggering events" and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group exceeds the Company's estimate of the asset group's undiscounted future cash flows.
Impairment testing
During 2020, the Company performed interim goodwill impairment analyses during the first, second and third quarters of the year, which resulted in the recognition of $99.8 million and $11.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges in the first and second quarter of 2020, respectively, as further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net" to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this 2020 Form 10-K.
For 2020, in assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2020 using October 1, 2020 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and quantitative assessments for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio reporting units. As further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net" to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this 2020 Form 10-K, the Mass Portfolio reporting unit no longer has any goodwill associated with it starting from the second quarter of 2020.
In performing its 2020 annual qualitative goodwill assessment, the Company considered, among other factors, the financial performance of the Revlon reporting unit, the Company's revised expected future cash flows as affected by the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the results of the second quarter of 2020 quantitative interim analysis. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its Revlon reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount for 2020.
In performing its 2020 quantitative assessments, the Company used the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04 to test its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio

reporting units for impairment. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of such aforementioned reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for 2020.
The fair values of the aforementioned Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts ranging from approximately 7% to approximately 34% as of the October 1, 2020 valuation date.
The above-mentioned fair values were primarily determined using a weighted average market and income approach. The income approach requires several assumptions including those regarding future sales growth, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margins, and capital expenditures, which are the basis for the information used in the discounted cash flow model. The weighted-average cost of capital used in the income approach ranged from 9.5% to 12.5%, with a perpetual growth rate of 2%. For the market approach, the Company considered the market comparable method based upon total enterprise value multiples of other comparable publicly-traded companies.
The key assumptions used to determine the estimated fair values of the Company's reporting units for its interim and annual assessments included the expected success of the Company's future new product launches, the Company's achievement of its expansion plans, the Company's realization of its cost reduction initiatives and other efficiency efforts, as well as certain assumptions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic's expected impact on the Company. If such plans and assumptions do not materialize as anticipated, or if there are further challenges in the business environment in which the Company's reporting units operate, a resulting change in actual results from the Company's key assumptions could have a negative impact on the estimated fair values of the reporting units, which could require the Company to recognize additional impairment charges in future reporting periods.
During 2020, in connection with the interim goodwill impairment assessments during the first, second and third quarters of 2020, the Company also reviewed indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment. These interim reviews resulted in no interim impairment charges in connection with the carrying value of any of the Company's finite-lived intangible assets and in $24.5 million and $8.6 million of interim non-cash impairment charges in the first and second quarter of 2020, respectively, in connection with the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets, as further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net" to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this 2020 Form 10-K.
For 2020 and 2019, no impairment was recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's finite or indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of the annual impairment testing.
The fair values determined as part of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangibles quantitative analysis exceeded their carrying amounts ranging from approximately 1% to approximately 29% as of the October 1, 2020 valuation date.
See Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net," to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in this 2020 Form 10-K for further information on the Company's goodwill and intangible assets.
Income Taxes:
The Company records income taxes based on amounts payable with respect to the current year and includes the effect of deferred taxes. The effective tax rate reflects statutory tax rates, tax-planning opportunities that may be available in various jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the Company’s estimate of the ultimate outcome of various tax audits and issues. Determining the Company’s effective tax rate and evaluating tax positions requires significant judgment.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future impact of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which management expects that the Company will recover or settle those differences. The realization of the deferred tax assets is primarily dependent on forecasted future taxable income. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when management determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize a tax benefit for the deferred tax assets. Any reduction in estimated forecasted future taxable income may require the Company to record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets on which a valuation allowance was not previously established. See "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Provision for Income Taxes," for further information.
The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when management determines that it was more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the merits of such position. The Company recognizes
58

(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
liabilities for unrecognized tax positions in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of whether and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts is ultimately not required, the reversal of the liabilities would result in additional tax benefits recognized in the period in which the Company determines that the liabilities are no longer required. If the estimate of tax liabilities is ultimately less than the final assessment, this will result in a further charge to expense. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company is indefinitely reinvested in the accumulated undistributed earnings of all of its foreign subsidiaries. If earnings are repatriated, any excess of financial reporting over tax basis could be subject to federal, state and foreign withholding taxes. At this time, the determination of deferred tax liabilities on the amount of financial reporting over tax basis is not practicable.

Inflation
The Company's costs are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation that the Company may experience in future periods. Management believes, however, that such effects have not been material to the Company during the past two years in the U.S. and in foreign non-hyperinflationary countries. In hyperinflationary foreign countries, the Company attempts to mitigate the effects of inflation by increasing prices in line with inflation, where possible, and efficiently managing its costs and working capital levels.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In March 2020, the Company announced the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program and in April 2020 the Company took several financial measures, such as implementing a reduced work week and furloughing a significant number of employees, designed to mitigate the adverse financial impacts of COVID-19 (the “COVID-19 Organizational Actions”). In response, the Company implemented mitigating actions to address the potential for any impact from these measures on the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting, such as transferring responsibilities for the eliminated positions and furloughed employees and enhancing employee training and internal controls monitoring. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this 2020 Form 10-K. Based upon such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of its assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that its receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management's projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Company’s management, under the oversight of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 and in making this assessment used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, the Company’s management, under the oversight of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.
KPMG LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended December 31, 2020 included in this 2020 Form 10-K, has issued a report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page F-3 of the 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements.
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ("ICFR"). There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As described in Item 9A(a) above, the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program and the COVID-19 Organizational Actions did not materially affect the Company's ICFR for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020, as well as the Company's other public documents and statements, may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions, forecasts, plans, anticipations, targets, outlooks, initiatives, visions, objectives, strategies, opportunities, drivers, focus and intents of the Company's management. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, the Company cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known and unknown factors, and, of course, it is impossible for the Company to anticipate all factors that could affect its results. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such statements include, without limitation, the Company's expectations, plans and estimates (whether qualitative or quantitative) as to:
(i)the Company's future financial performance and/or sales growth;
(ii)the effect on sales of decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty products in one or more of the Company's segments, whether due to COVID-19 or otherwise; adverse changes in tariffs, foreign currency exchange rates, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls; decreased sales of the Company's products as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company's competitors and/or decreased performance by third-party suppliers, whether due to shortages of raw materials or otherwise, changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to retailer preferences and/or among sales channels, such as due to the continuing consumption declines in core beauty categories in the mass retail channel in North America; inventory management by the Company's customers; inventory de-stocking by certain retail customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; retail store closures in the brick-and-mortar channels where the Company sells its products, as consumers continue to shift purchases to online and e-commerce channels; changes in pricing, marketing, advertising and/or promotional strategies by the Company's customers; less than anticipated results from the Company's existing or new products or from its advertising, promotional, pricing and/or marketing plans; or if the Company's expenses, including, without limitation, for the purchase of permanent displays, capital expenditures, debt service payments and costs, cash tax payments, pension and other post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company's restructuring programs (such as the 2018 Optimization Program and the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program), severance not otherwise included in the Company's restructuring programs, business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any, additional debt and/or equity repurchases, if any, costs related to litigation, discontinuing non-core business lines and/or entering and/or exiting certain territories and/or channels of trade, advertising, promotional and marketing activities or for sales returns related to any reduction of space by the Company's customers, product discontinuances or otherwise, exceed the anticipated level of expenses;
(iii)the Company's belief that continuing to execute its business initiatives could include taking advantage of additional opportunities to reposition, repackage or reformulate one or more brands or product lines, launching additional new products, acquiring businesses or brands (including through licensing transactions, if any), divesting or discontinuing non-core business lines (which may include exiting certain territories), further refining its approach to retail merchandising and/or taking further actions to optimize its manufacturing, sourcing and organizational size and structure, any of which, the intended purpose would be to create value through improving the Company's financial performance, could result in the Company making investments and/or recognizing charges related to executing against such opportunities, which activities may be funded with operating revenues, cash on hand, funds available under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, other permissible borrowings and/or other permitted additional sources of capital, which actions could increase the Company's total debt;
(iv)the Company's plans to remain focused on its 3 key strategic pillars to drive its future success and growth, including (1) strengthening its iconic brands through innovation and relevant product portfolios; (2) building its capabilities to better communicate and connect with its consumers through media channels where they spend the most time; and (3) ensuring availability of its products where consumers shop, both in-store and increasingly online;
(v)the effect of restructuring activities, restructuring costs and charges, the timing of restructuring payments and the benefits from such activities, including, without limitation: (1) the Company’s plans to implement the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program; including its expectation and belief that the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program will reduce the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as cost of goods sold, improve the Company’s gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA and maximize productivity, cash flow and liquidity, as well as
rightsizing the organization and operating with more efficient workflows and processes and that the leaner organizational structure will improve communication flow and cross-functional collaboration, leveraging the more efficient business processes; (2) the Company’s expectation that the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program will result in the elimination of approximately 975 positions worldwide including approximately 625 current employees and approximately 350 open positions; (3) the Company substantially completed the employee-related actions in 2020 and expects to complete the other consolidation and outsourcing actions during 2021 and 2022; (4) the Company’s expectations regarding the amount and timing of the 2020 Restructuring Charges and payments related to the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, including that: (a) it recognized during 2020 $68.8 million of total pre-tax restructuring and related charges and in addition restructuring charges in the range of $75 million to $85 million to be charged and paid during 2021 and 2022; and (b) substantially all of the 2020 Restructuring Charges will be paid in cash, with $51.5 million of the total charges paid in 2020, approximately $40 million to $45 million expected to be paid in 2021, with the balance expected to be paid in 2022; and (5) the Company’s expectations that as a result of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company will deliver in the range of $200 million to $230 million of annualized cost reductions from 2020 through the end of 2022, with approximately 50% of these annualized cost reductions to be realized from the headcount reductions occurring in 2020;
(vi)the Company's expectation that operating revenues, cash on hand and funds that may be available from time to time for borrowing under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, and other permissible borrowings will be sufficient to enable the Company to cover its operating expenses for 2020, including the cash requirements referred to in item (viii) below, and the Company's belief that (a) it has and will have sufficient liquidity to meet its cash needs for at least the next 12 months based upon the cash generated by its operations, cash on hand, availability under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, and other permissible borrowings, along with the option to further settle intercompany loans and payables with certain foreign subsidiaries, and that such cash resources will be further enhanced as the Company implements its Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program and cost reductions generated from other cost control initiatives, as well as funds provided by selling certain assets in connection with the Company's ongoing Strategic Review, and (b) restrictions and/or taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings will not have a material effect on the Company's liquidity during such period;
(vii)the Company's expected principal sources of funds, including operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility and other permissible borrowings, as well as the availability of funds from the Company taking certain measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending and the Company's expectation to generate additional liquidity from cost reductions resulting from the implementation of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program and from other cost reduction initiatives, as well as funds provided by selling certain assets in connection with the Company's ongoing Strategic Review;
(viii)the Company's expected principal uses of funds, including amounts required for payment of operating expenses including in connection with the purchase of permanent wall displays; capital expenditure requirements; debt service payments and costs; cash tax payments; pension and other post-retirement benefit plan contributions; payments in connection with the Company's restructuring programs, such as the 2018 Optimization Program and the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program; severance not otherwise included in the Company's restructuring programs; business and/or brand acquisitions (including, without limitation, through licensing transactions), if any; debt and/or equity repurchases, if any; costs related to litigation; and payments in connection with discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting and/or entering certain territories and/or channels of trade (including, without limitation, that the Company may also, from time-to-time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt obligations and/or equity in open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated purchase transactions or otherwise and may seek to refinance some or all of its indebtedness based upon market conditions and that any such retirement or purchase of debt and/or equity may be funded with operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material); and its estimates of the amount and timing of such operating and other expenses;
(ix)matters concerning the impact on the Company from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates;
(x)the Company's expectation to efficiently manage its working capital, including, among other things, initiatives intended to optimize inventory levels over time; centralized procurement to secure discounts and efficiencies; prudent management of trade receivables, accounts payable and controls on general and administrative spending; and the Company's belief that in the ordinary course of business, its source or use of cash from operating activities may vary on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including the timing of working capital flows;
(xi)the Company's expectations regarding its future net periodic benefit cost for its U.S. and international defined benefit plans;
(xii)the Company's expectation that its tax provision and effective tax rate in any individual quarter and year-to-date period will vary and may not be indicative of the Company's tax provision and effective tax rate for the full year and the Company's expectations regarding whether it will be required to establish additional valuation allowances on its deferred tax assets;
(xiii)the Company's belief that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, but that in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company's operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company's income for that particular period; and
(xiv)the Company's plans to explore certain strategic transactions pursuant to the Strategic Review.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Revlon, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years in the two‑year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two‑year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 11, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Impairment of the goodwill of the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Mass Portfolio, and Professional Portfolio reporting units
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance as of December 31, 2020 was $563.7 million. The Company performs goodwill impairment testing on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value using a discounted cash flow model. As a result, the Company performed impairment testing of the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Mass Portfolio, and Professional Portfolio reporting units in the first, second, and fourth quarters, which resulted in $99.8 million and $11.2 million impairments in the first and second quarter, respectively, of the associated goodwill.
F-2
We identified the evaluation of the impairment of goodwill of the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Mass Portfolio, and Professional Portfolio reporting units as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in evaluating the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models used to estimate the fair values of the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Mass Portfolio, and Professional Portfolio reporting units. Specifically, the key assumptions, including forecasted net sales, forecasted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, and discount rates, involved a high degree of subjective auditor judgment as minor changes to those assumptions could have a significant effect on the Company’s assessment of the carrying value of goodwill.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment process. These included controls related to the determination of the estimated fair value of the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Mass Portfolio, and Professional Portfolio reporting units and the development of the assumptions described above. We evaluated the Company’s forecasted net sales and EBITDA margins used in the fair value analyses by comparing forecasted net sales and forecasted EBITDA margins to historical actual results and forecasted net sales growth rates and EBITDA margins of peer companies based on publicly available market data. We compared the Company’s historical net sales and EBITDA margin forecasts to actual results to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skill and knowledge, who assisted in:
•assessing the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies through comparison to standard valuation practices
•evaluating the appropriateness of the selected guideline public companies by researching the companies and reviewing the business description
•evaluating the discount rates by comparing them to discount rate ranges that were independently developed using publicly available market data for comparable companies
Impairment of the indefinite-lived trade names of the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, and Mass Portfolio reporting units
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s trade names balance as of December 31, 2020 was $115.9 million. The Company performs indefinite-lived trade name impairment testing using the relief from royalty method on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a trade name more likely than not exceeds its fair value. As a result, the Company performed impairment testing of its indefinite-lived intangible assets in the first, second, and fourth quarters, which resulted in $24.5 million and $8.6 million impairments in the first and second quarter, respectively, of certain trade names within the Company's Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, and Mass Portfolio reporting units.
We identified the evaluation of impairment of the trade names as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in evaluating the key assumptions used in the relief from royalty method used to estimate the fair value of the trade names. Specifically, the key assumptions including forecasted net sales, discount rates, and royalty rate assumptions, involved a high degree of subjective auditor judgment as minor changes to those assumptions could have a significant effect on the Company’s assessment of the carrying value of indefinite-lived trade names.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s indefinite-lived trade names impairment assessment process. These included controls related to the determination of the estimated fair value of the trade names and the development of the assumptions described above. We evaluated the Company’s forecasted net sales used in the analyses by comparing the forecasted net sales to historical actual results. We compared the Company’s historical net sales forecasts to actual results to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skill and knowledge, who assisted in:
•assessing the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies through comparison to standard valuation practices
•evaluating the royalty rate assumptions used in the trade names valuations, by comparing them to publicly available market data for comparable royalty rates
•evaluating the discount rates used in the valuations of the trade names by comparing them to discount rate ranges that were independently developed using publicly available market data for comparable companies.

Liquidity
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2020, the Company believes its cash and cash equivalents and its existing credit capacity and management’s actions in the normal course to reduce variable spending will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for at least the next 12 months beyond the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.
We identified the assessment of liquidity and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a critical audit matter. The evaluation of the Company’s estimate of its cash inflows and outflows used in its forecasted model of liquidity for at least 12 months beyond the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements involved a high degree of subjective auditor judgment due to uncertainty in the estimate of cash inflows and outflows.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern. These included controls related to the assumptions used in the forecasted model of liquidity and sensitivity analyses over the forecasted models of liquidity. We assessed the reasonableness of key assumptions underlying management’s liquidity models, including forecasted net sales, forecasted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and management’s actions in the normal course to reduce variable spending, by comparing the key assumptions to historical results to assess management’s ability to forecast. We performed sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of changes in the key assumptions included in management’s liquidity forecast models. We assessed management’s liquidity forecast model in the context of other audit evidence obtained during the audit to determine whether it supported or contradicted the conclusions reached by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Revlon, Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 11, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revlon, Inc. ("Revlon" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") conducts its business exclusively through its direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation") and its subsidiaries. Revlon is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated (together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, "MacAndrews & Forbes"), a corporation beneficially owned by Ronald O. Perelman. Mr. Perelman is Chairman of Revlon's and Products Corporation's Board of Directors.
The Company is a leading global beauty company with an iconic portfolio of brands that develops, manufactures, markets, distributes and sells an extensive array of color cosmetics; hair color, hair care and hair treatments; fragrances; skin care; beauty tools; men’s grooming products; anti-perspirant deodorants; and other beauty care products across a variety of distribution channels.
The Company operates in four brand-centric reporting units that are aligned with its organizational structure based on four global brand teams: Revlon; Elizabeth Arden; Portfolio; and Fragrances, which represent the Company's four reporting segments. For further information, refer to Note 16, "Segment Data and Related Information."
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company mean Revlon and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Products Corporation. Revlon as a public holding company, has no business operations of its own and owns, as its only material asset, all of the outstanding capital stock of Products Corporation. As such, its net income/(loss) has historically consisted predominantly of the net income/(loss) of Products Corporation, and in 2020 and 2019 included $7.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, in expenses incidental to being a public holding company.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company's accounts after the elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial information have been made.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to: expected sales returns; certain assumptions related to the valuation of acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets; income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities; and certain estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the net periodic benefit (income) costs and the projected benefit obligations for the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans, including the expected long-term return on pension plan assets and the discount rate used to value the Company’s pension benefit obligations.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. Accounts payable include $15.2 million and $13.3 million of outstanding checks not yet presented for payment at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the statements of financial position that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows:
| December 31, | ||||||||||||||

Trade Receivables
Trade receivables represent payments due to the Company for previously recognized net sales, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts for balances which are estimated to be uncollectible at period end. The Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers. Trade credit is extended based upon periodically updated evaluations of each customer's ability to perform its payment obligations. The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales. The Company's three largest customers accounted for an aggregate of approximately 41% and 33% of the Company's outstanding trade receivables at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is based on standard cost and production variances, which approximates actual cost on the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, direct labor and direct overhead, as well as in-bound freight. The Company records adjustments to the value of its inventory based upon its forecasted plans to sell products included in inventory, as well as planned product discontinuances. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company's estimates and expectations.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Assets
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets as follows: land improvements, 20 to 30 years; buildings and improvements, 5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 15 years; counters and trade fixtures, 3 to 5 years; office furniture and fixtures, 3 to 15 years; and capitalized software, 2 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements and building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or over the terms of the leases or remaining life of the original structure, whichever is shorter. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of operations as incurred, and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized. Counters and trade fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful life of the in-store counter and display related assets. The estimated useful life may be subject to change based upon declines in net sales and/or changes in merchandising programs. See Note 5, "Property, Plant and Equipment," for further discussion.
Included in other assets are permanent wall displays amounting to $82.2 million and $101.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which are amortized generally over a period of 1 to 3 years. In the event of product discontinuances, from time-to-time, the Company may accelerate the amortization of related permanent wall displays based on the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. Amortization expense for permanent wall displays was $50.1 million and $55.6 million for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows (excluding interest) resulting from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges to long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company capitalizes financing costs and amortizes such costs over the terms of the related debt instruments using the effective-interest method. Capitalized financing costs were $119.3 million and nil during 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU No. 2016-02" or "ASC 842"), beginning as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and applying the standard’s transition provisions at the effective date of January 1, 2019. ASU No. 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize, for both finance leases and operating leases, a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a Right-of-Use (“ROU”) asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability is equal to the present value of the lease payments and the ROU asset is based on the lease liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as pre-payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives and accrued rent. In addition, upon adoption the Company elected the available practical expedients allowed by the guidance under:
F-20
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
•ASC 842-10-15-37, by not separating lease components from non-lease components and instead accounting for all components as a single lease component for all of its classes of underlying assets, i.e., for any type of equipment leases and real estate leases; and
•ASC 842-10-65-1, by not reassessing at the transition date: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception, considering whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, recorded within “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and operating lease liabilities are recorded within either "" and/or "" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in ROU assets recorded within “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and finance lease liabilities are recorded within either "" and/or "" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, given their immateriality.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide the lease implicit rates, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rates as the discount rate, adjusted as applicable, based on the information available at the lease commencement dates to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company may use the lease implicit rate, when readily determinable, as the discount rate to determine the present value of lease payments.
Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term.
At lease commencement, for initial measurement, variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, if any, are excluded from lease payments. Subsequent to initial measurement, these variable payments are recognized when the event determining the amount of the variable consideration to be paid occurs. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not included in the lease liability or ROU asset.
After adoption, ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases are measured in accordance with the guidance in ASC 842-20-35-3, and ROU assets and lease liabilities for finance leases are measured in accordance with the guidance in ASC 842-30-35-1. The Company’s ROU assets for operating or finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
See Note 5, "Property, Plant and Equipment," for further information on the Company's leases.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price for businesses acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather it is reviewed annually for impairment at the reporting unit level using October 1st carrying values, or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s carrying amount may not be recovered.
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” the Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year. The Company also reviews goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its goodwill may not be recoverable. After the close of each interim quarter, management assesses whether there exists any indicators of impairment requiring the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis.
In performing its goodwill impairment assessments, the Company uses the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." Following the results of such assessments, the Company records non-cash impairment charges in the amount by which the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective fair value, limited to the amount of each reporting unit's goodwill. Impairment charges are included as a separate component of operating income within the "Impairment charges" caption on the face of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the applicable quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods.
During 2020, the Company performed interim goodwill impairment analyses during the first, second and third quarters of the year, which resulted in the recognition of $99.8 million and $11.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges in the first and second quarter of 2020, respectively, as further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net".
For 2020, in assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2020 using October 1, 2020 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with Financial Accounting
F-21
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and quantitative assessments for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio reporting units. As further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill", the Mass Portfolio reporting unit no longer has any goodwill associated with it starting from the second quarter of 2020.
For 2019, the Company did not have any goodwill impairment charges.
See Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net," for further information on the Company's goodwill and annual impairment testing.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible Assets, net, include trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, patents and internally developed intellectual property ("IP") and acquired licenses.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of certain trade names, are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter using October 1st carrying values similar to goodwill, in accordance with ASC 350, and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of its intangible assets exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company writes off the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for intangible assets in the year in which the asset becomes fully amortized.
Finite-lived intangible assets are considered for impairment under ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"), upon the occurrence of certain "triggering events" and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group exceeds the Company's estimate of the asset group's undiscounted future cash flows.
During 2020, in connection with the interim goodwill impairment assessments during the first, second and third quarters of 2020, the Company also reviewed indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment. These interim reviews resulted in no interim impairment charges in connection with the carrying value of any of the Company's finite-lived intangible assets and in $24.5 million and $8.6 million of interim non-cash impairment charges in the first and second quarter of 2020, respectively, in connection with the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets, as further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net".
For 2020 and 2019, no impairment was recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's finite or indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of the annual impairment testing.
See Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net," for further discussion of the Company's intangible assets, including a summary of finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns
The Company follows ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". In accordance with the guidance, the Company's policy is to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects that it will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers. The Company's policy is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues from sales of products less expected product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions and coupons.
The Company allows customers to return their unsold products if and when they meet certain Company-established criteria as set forth in the Company's trade terms. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, its estimates of sales returns based primarily upon the historical rate of actual product returns, planned product discontinuances, new product launches and estimates of customer inventory and promotional sales. For returned products that the Company expects to resell at a profit, the Company records, in addition to sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales and an increase to accrued liabilities for the amount expected to be refunded to the customer, an increase to the asset account used to reflect the Company's right to recover products. The amount of the asset account is valued based upon the former carrying amount of the product (i.e., inventory), less any expected costs to recover the products. As the estimated product returns that are expected to be resold at a profit do not comprise a significant amount of the Company's net sales or assets, the Company does not separately report these amounts.
F-22
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The Company's revenues are also net of certain marketing arrangements with its retail customers. Pursuant to its trade terms with these retail customers, the Company reimburses them for a portion of their advertising costs, which provide advertising benefits to the Company. These arrangements are in the form of marketing development funds and/or cooperative advertising programs and are used by the Company to drive sales. The advertising programs follow an annual schedule of planned events that is continually updated based on the Company's perceived needs and contractual terms. As these marketing expenditures cannot be directly linked to product sales, the Company records these expenses as a reduction of revenue at the higher of actual spend or estimated costs based on a reserve rate methodology. In limited instances when products are sold under consignment arrangements, the Company does not recognize revenue until control over such products has transferred to the end consumer. Other revenues, primarily royalties, do not comprise a material amount of the Company's net sales.
The Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue.
See Note 16, "Segment Data and Related Information," for additional disclosures related to ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes all of the costs to manufacture the Company's products. For products manufactured in the Company's own facilities, such costs include raw materials and supplies, direct labor and factory overhead. For products manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such cost represents the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Cost of sales also includes the cost of refurbishing products returned by customers that will be offered for resale and the cost of inventory write-downs associated with adjustments of held inventories to their net realizable value. These costs are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income when the product is sold and net sales revenues are recognized or, in the case of inventory write-downs, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories is in excess of their recoverable value. Additionally, cost of sales reflects the costs associated with certain free products included as sales and promotional incentives. These incentive costs are recognized at the same time that the Company recognizes the related revenue.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses include expenses to advertise the Company's products, such as television advertising production costs and air-time costs, print advertising costs, digital marketing costs, promotional displays and consumer promotions. SG&A expenses also include the amortization of permanent wall displays and finite-lived intangible assets, depreciation of certain fixed assets, distribution costs (such as freight and handling), non-manufacturing overhead (principally personnel and related expenses), selling and trade educations fees, insurance and professional service fees.
Advertising
Advertising within SG&A expenses includes television, print, digital marketing and other advertising production costs that are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. The costs of promotional displays are expensed in the period in which they are shipped to customers. Advertising expenses were $332.1 million and $446.8 million for 2020 and 2019, respectively, which were included in SG&A expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company also has various arrangements with customers pursuant to its trade terms to reimburse them for a portion of their advertising costs, which provide advertising benefits to the Company. Additionally, from time-to-time, the Company may pay fees to customers in order to expand or maintain shelf space for its products. The costs that the Company incurs for "cooperative" advertising programs, end cap placement, shelf placement costs, slotting fees and marketing development funds, if any, are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a reduction within net sales.
Distribution Costs
Costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs, are recorded within SG&A expenses when incurred. Distribution costs were $106.9 million and $135.7 million for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment
F-23

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
date. The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets when management determines that it was more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when management determines that it was more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the merits of such position. The Company recognizes liabilities for unrecognized tax positions in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of whether and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts is ultimately not required, the reversal of the liabilities would result in additional tax benefits recognized in the period in which the Company determines that the liabilities are no longer required. If the estimate of tax liabilities is ultimately less than the final assessment, this will result in a further charge to expense. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. See Note 13, "Income Taxes," for additional disclosures.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred and included within SG&A expenses. The amounts charged in 2020 and 2019 for research and development expenditures were $29.3 million and $40.3 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during each period presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and branches operating in non-hyperinflationary economies are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until either the sale or upon the complete or substantially complete liquidation by the Company of its investment in a foreign entity. To the extent that foreign subsidiaries and branches operate in hyperinflationary economies, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and translation adjustments are included in the Company's results of operations.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share and Classes of Stock
Shares used in basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares used in diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units ("RSUs") issued under the Stock Plan using the treasury stock method. (See Note 17, "Revlon, Inc. Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share").
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for its restricted stock and restricted stock units, measured at the fair value of each award at the time of grant, as an expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service. Upon the vesting of restricted stock and RSUs, any resulting tax benefits are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income as the awards vest or are settled. The Company reflects such excess tax benefits as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company accounts for forfeitures as a reduction of compensation cost in the period when such forfeitures occur.
Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has continued to adversely impact the Company’s business in 2020 and beyond, as social-distancing restrictions and related actions designed to curb the spread of the virus have remained in place or have been reinstated as the COVID-19 pandemic spikes across the globe. These adverse economic conditions have resulted in the general slowdown of the global economy, in turn contributing to a significant decline in net sales within each of the Company’s reporting segments and regions.
On October 23, 2020, Products Corporation commenced an amended exchange offer (as amended, the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange any and all of its outstanding 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “5.75% Senior Notes”), which closed on November 13, 2020. In the Exchange Offer, for each $1,000 principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes validly tendered, holders received either, at their option, (i) $275 in cash (plus a $50 early tender/consent fee payable if such 5.75% Senior Notes were tendered at or before 11:59 p.m. New York City time on November 10, 2020 (the “Expiration Time”)), for an aggregate of $325 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), or (ii) if the holder was an Eligible Holder, a combination of (1) $200 in cash (plus a $50 early tender/consent fee payable if such 5.75% Senior Notes were tendered at or before the Expiration Time), for an aggregate of $250 in cash, plus, (2) (A) the Per $1,000 Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) of $50 million aggregate principal amount of new 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the Per $1,000 Pro Rata Share of $75 million aggregate principal amount of the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans (the “Mixed Consideration”). A holder was considered an “Eligible Holder” if the holder was: (a)(i) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); (ii) an institutional accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2),
F-24
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
(a)(3) or (a)(7) of the Securities Act; or (iii) a person that is not a “U.S. person” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (b) not a natural person and (c) not a “Disqualified Institution” (as defined under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined) and related security documents and intercreditor agreements or the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility (as hereinafter defined) and related security documents and intercreditor agreements). The “Per $1,000 Pro Rata Share” is (1) $1,000, divided by (2) the aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes tendered for Mixed Consideration by all Eligible Holders and accepted for payment by Products Corporation.
On November 13, 2020, the Company announced that the Exchange Offer was successfully consummated and that Products Corporation had accepted $236 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer. Products Corporation used cash on hand to redeem, effective as of November 13, 2020, the remaining $106.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 5.75% Senior Notes. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the satisfaction and discharge of the remaining 5.75% Senior Notes, no 5.75% Senior Notes remained outstanding.
On March 8, 2021, the Company amended its Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the revolving facility thereunder from September 7, 2021 to June 8, 2023. Additionally, on March 2, 2021, the Company refinanced its 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility that was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2021 with a $75 million asset-based term loan facility with a scheduled maturity date of March 2, 2024, subject to a springing maturity date of August 1, 2023 if, on such date, any principal amount of loans under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement due September 7, 2023 remain outstanding. For further details of these financing transactions, see Note 21, “Subsequent Events”.
Each reporting period, the Company assesses its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a liquidity position of $249.9 million, consisting of: (i) $97.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (with approximately $89.8 million held outside the U.S.); (ii) $168.0 million in available borrowing capacity under Products Corporation's Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which had $188.9 million drawn at such date); and less (iii) approximately $15.2 million of outstanding checks. The Company's evaluation includes its ability to meet its future contractual obligations and other conditions and events that may impact its liquidity.
The uncertainty as to Products Corporation’s ability to extend or refinance the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of the end of the third quarter of 2020. As a result of the transactions that were completed during the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern no longer exists. However, the Company continues to focus on cost reduction and risk mitigation actions to address both the ongoing and prolonged impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other risks in the business environment. It expects to generate additional liquidity through continued actions related to the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program and other cost control initiatives as well as funds provided by selling certain assets or other strategic transactions in connection with the Company's ongoing Strategic Review. If sales continue to decline, the Company’s cost control initiatives may include reductions in discretionary spend and reductions in investments in capital and permanent displays. Management believes that the recent successful closing of the Exchange Offer and the other recent debt activities, along with existing cash and cash equivalents and cost control initiatives provides the Company with sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and maintain business operations for the next twelve months.
However, there can be no assurance that available funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements on a consolidated basis, as, among other things, the Company’s liquidity can be impacted by a number of factors, including its level of sales, costs and expenditures, as well as accounts receivable and inventory, which serve as the principal variables impacting the amount of liquidity available under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. For example, subject to certain exceptions, loans under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility must be prepaid to the extent that outstanding loans exceed the borrowing base, consisting of accounts receivable and inventory.
Recent Transactions
On December 22, 2020, certain of the Company's subsidiaries and Helen of Troy Limited (the “Licensee”) entered into a Trademark License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) to combine and revise the existing licenses that are in place between the parties. The License Agreement grants the Licensee the exclusive right to use the “Revlon” brand in connection with the manufacture, display, advertising, promotion, labeling, sale, marketing and distribution of certain hair and grooming products until December 31, 2060 (with 3 additional 20-year renewal periods) in exchange for a one-time, upfront cash fee of $72.5 million, which is included as deferred revenue within Other long-term liabilities and Accrued expenses and other current

liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred revenue will be amortized to royalty income within "Net Sales" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations over a period of 26 years, estimated based on the point in time in which 90% of the total discounted cash flows is captured.
Recently Evaluated and/or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” This new guidance removes certain disclosures that are not considered cost beneficial, clarifies certain required disclosures and requires certain additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance (on a retrospective basis for certain new additional disclosures), as of December 31, 2020. This pronouncement only affects disclosure items and has no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2018-15, "Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract," which requires a customer in a cloud computing hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the existing guidance in ASC 350-40 on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs are to be deferred and recognized as an asset and which costs are to be expensed as incurred. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all software implementation costs incurred after adoption. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 prospectively, beginning as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The new guidance under ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, that ASU No. 2020-04 is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocations, calculating income taxes in interim periods and how a company accounts for future events. This ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in any interim period. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. After reviewing this ASU, the Company will adopt this guidance beginning as of January 1, 2021. The Company completed its assessment of the possible effects of this ASU upon its implementation and determined that it is not expected to have significant impacts on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which was subsequently amended in November 2018 through ASU No. 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." ASU No. 2016-13 will require entities to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for trade and other receivables, net investments in leases, financing receivables, debt securities and other instruments, which will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. Further, the new credit loss model will affect how entities in all industries estimate their allowance for losses for receivables that are current with respect to their payment terms. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which, among other things, deferred the application of the new guidance on credit losses for smaller reporting companies ("SRC") to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., a modified-retrospective approach). Under the above-mentioned deferral, the Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-03, and the related ASU No. 2018-19 amendments, beginning as of January 1, 2023 and is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, that this

new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
2. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program
Building upon its previously completed 2018 Optimization Program, in March 2020 the Company announced that it was implementing a worldwide organizational restructuring (the “Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program”) designed to reduce the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as cost of goods sold, improve the Company’s gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA and maximize productivity, cash flow and liquidity. The Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program includes rightsizing the organization and operating with more efficient workflows and processes. The leaner organizational structure is also expected to improve communication flow and cross-functional collaboration, leveraging the more efficient business processes.
As a result of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company expects to eliminate approximately 975 positions worldwide, including approximately 625 current employees and approximately 350 open positions of which approximately 915 were eliminated by December 31, 2020. In March 2020, the Company began informing certain employees that were affected by the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program. While certain aspects of the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program may be subject to consultations with employees, works councils, unions and/or governmental authorities, the Company substantially completed the employee-related actions in 2020 and expects to complete the other consolidation and outsourcing actions during 2021 and 2022.
In connection with implementing the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program, the Company recognized during 2020 $68.8 million of total pre-tax restructuring and related charges (the “2020 Restructuring Charges”), consisting primarily of employee-related costs, such as severance, retention and other contractual termination benefits. The Company expects that substantially all of the restructuring and related charges under the Revlon 2020 Restructuring Program will be paid in cash, with $51.5 million of the total charges paid in 2020, with the remaining balance expected to be paid after 2020.
A summary of the 2020 Restructuring Charges incurred since its inception in March 2020 and through December 31, 2020 is presented in the following table:

2018 Optimization Restructuring Program
In November 2018, the Company announced that it was implementing the 2018 Optimization Restructuring Program (the "2018 Optimization Program") designed to streamline the Company’s operations, reporting structures and business processes, with the objective of maximizing productivity and improving profitability, cash flows and liquidity. The 2018 Optimization Program was substantially completed by December 31, 2019.
As of December 31, 2020, restructuring and related charges under the 2018 Optimization Program expected to be paid in cash are approximately $31.8 million of the total $39.7 million of recorded charges, of which $30.7 million were already paid since the inception of the program and through December 31, 2020, with any residual balance expected to be paid during 2021.

At the effective date of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 using a modified retrospective approach applying the standard’s transition provisions provided by such ASU. Refer to Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company's adoption of ASU No. 2016-02.
F-30
Impairment Considerations
During the first, second and third quarter of 2020, as a result of COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s operations, the Company considered whether indicators of impairment existed for its Property, Plant and Equipment ("PP&E"), including its Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets consisting of the Company's leases as described above. The Company also considered whether indicators of impairment on its PP&E existed as of December 31, 2020.
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment," for purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset and/or asset group is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset and/or asset group is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset and/or asset group and the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset and/or asset group exceeds its fair value. In performing such review, the Company considers several indicators of impairment, including, among other factors, the following: (i) whether there exists any significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset and/or asset group is being used; (ii) whether there exists any projection or forecast demonstrating losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset and/or asset group; and (iii) whether there exists a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset and/or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously-estimated useful life.
Following its interim assessments during 2020, as well as its year-end assessment as of December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of its PP&E, including its lease ROU assets, were not impaired as of December 31, 2020.
The following table includes disclosure related to the ASC 842 lease standard for the periods presented, after application of the applicable practical expedients and short-term lease considerations:

6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
2020 Interim Goodwill Assessments
As of March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, as a result of COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s operations, the Company determined that indicators of potential impairment existed requiring the Company to perform interim goodwill impairment analyses. These indicators included a deterioration in the general economic conditions, adverse developments in equity and credit markets, deterioration in some of the economic channels in which the Company's operates (especially in the mass retail channel), the recent trading values of the Company's capital stock and the corresponding decline in the Company’s market capitalization and the revision of the Company's internal forecasts as a result of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
For its first and second quarter of 2020 interim assessments, the Company examined and performed quantitative interim goodwill impairment assessments for all its reporting units, namely: (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; (iii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; (iv) Fragrances; (v) Mass Portfolio; and (vi) Professional Portfolio.
For the first quarter of 2020, as of March 31, 2020:
•The Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of each of its: (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; and (iii) Fragrances reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for the first quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2020, prior to the recording of any impairment charges, the Revlon, Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color and Fragrances reporting units had goodwill balances of $264.7 million, $67.4 million and $120.8 million, respectively; and
•The Company also determined that indicators of impairment existed for each of its: (i) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; (ii) Mass Portfolio; and (iii) Professional Portfolio reporting units. Accordingly, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized a total of $99.8 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges consisting of: $54.3 million and $19.6 million for the Mass Portfolio and Professional Portfolio reporting units, respectively, within the Company's Portfolio segment and $25.9 million for the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances reporting unit within the Company's Elizabeth Arden segment. Following the recognition of these non-cash goodwill impairment charges, as of March 31, 2020, the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Mass Portfolio and Professional Portfolio reporting units had approximately $23.5 million, nil and $97.2 million, respectively, in remaining goodwill.
For the second quarter of 2020, as of June 30, 2020:
•The Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of each of its: (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; and (iii) Fragrances reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts
F-32
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
for the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, prior to the recording of any impairment charges, the Revlon, Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color and Fragrances reporting units had goodwill balances of $264.9 million, $67.4 million and $120.8 million, respectively; and
•Primarily due to the continued worldwide effects of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the Company also determined that indicators of impairment existed for each of its: (i) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; and (ii) Professional Portfolio reporting units. Accordingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a total of $11.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges consisting of: $9.6 million for the Professional Portfolio reporting unit within the Company's Portfolio segment and $1.6 million for the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances reporting unit within the Company's Elizabeth Arden segment. Following the recognition of these non-cash goodwill impairment charges, as of June 30, 2020, the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances and Professional Portfolio reporting units had approximately $22.0 million and $87.6 million, respectively, in remaining goodwill.
For its third quarter of 2020 interim assessment, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed qualitative analyses for its (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; (iii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; (iv) Professional Portfolio; and (v) Fragrances reporting units. As discussed above, the Mass Portfolio reporting unit's goodwill was written down to nil during the first quarter of 2020. In performing its third quarter of 2020 qualitative interim goodwill assessment, the Company considered, among other factors, the financial performance of each of its reporting units, the Company's revised expected future cash flows as affected by the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the results of the second quarter of 2020 quantitative interim analysis.
For the third quarter of 2020, as of September 30, 2020:
•The Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed qualitative analyses for its: (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; (iii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; (iv) Professional Portfolio; and (v) Fragrances reporting units; and
•Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of its previously mentioned reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts as of September 30, 2020. Consequently, no impairment changes were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
2020 Annual Goodwill Impairment Testing
In assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2020 using October 1, 2020 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and quantitative assessments for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio reporting units (as previously noted, the Mass Portfolio reporting unit no longer has any goodwill associated with it starting from the second quarter of 2020).
In performing its 2020 annual qualitative goodwill assessment, the Company considered, among other factors, the financial performance of the Revlon reporting unit, the Company's revised expected future cash flows as affected by the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the results of the second quarter of 2020 quantitative interim analysis. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its Revlon reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount for 2020.
In performing its 2020 quantitative assessments, the Company used the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04 to test its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio reporting units for impairment. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of such aforementioned reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for 2020.
Consequently, no additional impairment changes were recognized during the 2020 annual impairment assessment test.

The above-mentioned fair values were primarily determined using a weighted average market and income approach. The income approach requires several assumptions including those regarding future sales growth, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margins, and capital expenditures, which are the basis for the information used in the discounted cash flow model. The weighted-average cost of capital used in the income approach ranged from 9.5% to 12.5%,

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
with a perpetual growth rate of 2%. For the market approach, the Company considered the market comparable method based upon total enterprise value multiples of other comparable publicly-traded companies.
The key assumptions used to determine the estimated fair values of the Company's reporting units for its interim and annual assessments included the expected success of the Company's future new product launches, the Company's achievement of its expansion plans, the Company's realization of its cost reduction initiatives and other efficiency efforts, as well as certain assumptions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic's expected impact on the Company. If such plans and assumptions do not materialize as anticipated, or if there are further challenges in the business environment in which the Company's reporting units operate, a resulting change in actual results from the Company's key assumptions could have a negative impact on the estimated fair values of the reporting units, which could require the Company to recognize additional impairment charges in future reporting periods.
The inputs and assumptions utilized in the interim and annual impairment analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements.”

(a) Amount refers to cumulative goodwill impairment charges related to impairments recognized in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2020; $111.0 million of such impairment charges were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020.
In connection with recognizing these goodwill impairment charges during 2020, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $9.2 million, since a portion of the goodwill is amortizable for tax purposes.
Intangible Assets, Net
Finite-Lived Intangibles
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, and in conjunction with the performance of its interim goodwill impairment testing for the first, second and third quarters of 2020, and its 2020 annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company reviewed its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment.
In performing such reviews, the Company makes judgments about the recoverability of its purchased finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment to its finite-lived intangible assets may exist. The Company also considers several indicators of impairment, including, among other factors, the following: (i) whether there exists any significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset and/or asset group is being used; (ii) whether there exists any projection or forecast demonstrating losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset and/or asset group; and (iii) whether there exists a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset and/or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously-estimated useful life. The carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the finite-lived intangible asset and/or asset group and the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the finite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment charges were recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the first, second and third quarters of 2020 interim impairment assessments and of the 2020 annual impairment testing.
Indefinite-Lived Intangibles
In connection with the interim goodwill impairment assessment for the first and second quarters of 2020, the Company also quantitatively reviewed indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of certain trade names, using March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 carrying values, respectively, similar to goodwill, in accordance with ASC Topic 350.
F-34
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
As a result of COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s operations and on the expected future cash flows of certain asset groups, the quantitative interim assessments of indefinite-lived intangible assets in the first and second quarters of 2020 resulted in the recognition of:
•$24.5 million of total non-cash impairment charges related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Company's Mass Portfolio, Elizabeth Arden Fragrances and Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color reporting units in the first quarter of 2020; and
•$8.6 million of total non-cash impairment charges related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Company's Elizabeth Arden Fragrances and Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color reporting units in the second quarter of 2020.
For the third and fourth quarter of 2020, in accordance with the approaches followed for the third quarter interim goodwill assessment and for the 2020 annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company performed qualitative and quantitative assessments, respectively, of its indefinite-lived intangible assets considering, among other factors, the financial performance of certain asset groups within its reporting units, the Company's revised, expected future cash flows (also as affected by COVID-19), as well as the results of the second quarter of 2020 quantitative interim analysis of indefinite-lived intangibles. No impairment charges were recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of these impairment assessments. Consequently, total non-cash impairment charges recorded on the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets were $33.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Inputs and Assumptions Considerations
The fair values of the Company's intangible assets were determined based on the undiscounted cash flows method for its finite-lived intangibles and based on the relief from royalty method for its indefinite-lived intangibles, respectively. The inputs and assumptions utilized in the impairment analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements.” These impairment charges were included as a separate component of operating income within the "Impairment charges" caption on the face of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. A summary of such impairment charges by segments is included in the following table:

Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $34.2 million and $40.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The variance with the previous comparable year was attributable primarily to the accelerated amortization of the Pure Ice intangible assets during 2019 as a result of the revision of the brand’s intangible assets useful lives following the termination of a business relationship with the brand's principal customer.

Current Year Debt Transactions
(a) 5.75% Senior Notes Exchange Offer
On November 13, 2020, Products Corporation completed its previously-announced offer to exchange (as amended, the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of the then-outstanding $342.8 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes scheduled to mature on February 15, 2021 (see hereinafter under "Previous Year Debt Related Transaction" for more details on the 5.75% Senior Notes), on terms set forth in the amended and restated Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement dated October 23, 2020. Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, Products Corporation solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 5.75% Senior Notes, dated as of February 13, 2013, among Products Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association (the “5.75% Senior Notes Indenture”) to eliminate substantially all of the restricted covenants and certain events of default provisions from the 5.75% Senior Notes Indenture. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 10, 2020 (the “Expiration Time”).
For each $1,000 principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes validly tendered before the Expiration Time, holders received either, at their option, (i) $275 in cash (plus a $50 early tender/consent fee payable for an aggregate of $325 in cash, or (ii) if the holder was an Eligible Holder (as hereinafter defined), a combination of (1) $200 in cash (plus a $50 early tender/consent fee, for an aggregate of $250 in cash, plus, (2) (A) the Per $1,000 Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) of $50 million in aggregate principal amount of new 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the Per $1,000 Pro Rata Share of $75 million in aggregate principal amount of the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans (as hereinafter defined) (the “Mixed Consideration”).
F-38
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
At the Expiration Time, $236 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes, representing 68.8% of the total outstanding principal amount of the 5.75% Senior Notes, was validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. On November 13, 2020, immediately after Products Corporation accepted for exchange the 5.75% Senior Notes that were validly tendered and made payment therefore, Products Corporation used cash on hand to redeem, effective as of November 13, 2020, the remaining $106.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes pursuant to the terms of the 5.75% Senior Notes Indenture. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the satisfaction and full discharge of the 5.75% Senior Notes, no 5.75% Senior Notes remained outstanding. Accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.75% Senior Notes that were tendered in the Exchange Offer was paid to, but not including, the settlement date of the Exchange Offer.
The 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans are new “Tranche B” term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $50 million, ranking junior in right of payment to the “Tranche A” revolving loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of Products Corporation and the guarantors under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement (such new Tranche B term loans, the “2020 ABL FILO Term Loans”). The 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans will mature the earlier of December 15, 2023 and six months after the maturity date of the Tranche A Loans (and any extension thereof in part or in whole). The 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (subject to a 1.75% floor) plus 8.50% per annum, accruing from the settlement date of the Exchange Offer. The borrowing base for the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans consists of an advance rate of 100% of eligible collateral with a customary push down reserve, with collateral consisting of: (i) a first-priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, cash, negotiable instruments, chattel paper, investment property (other than capital stock), equipment and real property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary exceptions (the “Priority Collateral”); and (ii) a second-priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary exclusions (other than the Priority Collateral).
The New BrandCo Second Lien Term Loans issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer are “Term B-2 Loans” in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million (ranking junior to the Term B-1 Loans and senior to the Term B-3 Loans with respect to liens on certain specified collateral) under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility (such Term B-2 Loans, the “New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans”).
The Exchange Offer with respect to the tendering holders represented a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, as both criteria for a TDR where met, namely: (i) the creditors granted a concession, and (ii) the Company was experiencing financial difficulties. Since the expected future undiscounted cash flows under the New 2020 ABL FILO Term Loan and the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans exchanged in the transaction are higher than the net carrying value of the original 5.75% Senior Notes remaining after any partial cash settlement (once prior loans with same lenders have also been considered, as applicable), no gain was recorded and a new effective interest rate was established based on the revised cash flows and the remaining net carrying value of the original 5.75% Senior Notes.
Following the closing of the Exchange Offer, as of December 31, 2020, the following aggregate principal amounts are outstanding:
•$50.0 million of New 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans; and
•$75.0 million of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans.
Following the applicability of the TDR guidance and based on a net carrying value of the original 5.75% Senior Notes of approximately $175.5 million remaining after partial cash settlements, future interest payments of approximately $50.5 million were also included in the carrying value of the restructured debt as of the day of closing of the Exchange Offer. Additionally, to the amounts stated above, $17.5 million of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans was added following the recognition of Paid-In-Kind ("PIK") consent fees that were earned by the lenders on the day of closing of the Exchange Offer, (which are amortized over the term of the restructured debt agreements), in accordance with the BrandCo TSA as defined further below in this Note 8, "Debt", within "Subsequent Amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility".
In accordance with the aforementioned TDR guidance, fees and expenses incurred to third parties in connection with consummating the Exchange Offer of approximately $13.8 million were expensed as professional fees within SG&A on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
(b) 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions
On May 7, 2020 (the “BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date”), Products Corporation entered into a term credit agreement (the “2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain financial institutions (the “2020 Facilities Lenders”) that are lenders or the affiliates of lenders under Products Corporation’s
F-39
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016 and amended on April 30, 2020 and as amended on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date, as further described below (as amended to date, the “2016 Term Loan Facility”) and the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, collectively referred to as the "2016 Senior Credit Facilities"). Pursuant to the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, the 2020 Facilities Lenders provided Products Corporation with new and roll-up senior secured term loan facilities (the “2020 BrandCo Facilities” and, collectively, the "2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility" and, together with the use of proceeds thereof and the Extension Amendment, the “2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions”).
Principal and Maturity: The 2020 BrandCo Facilities consist of: (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount outstanding on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date of $815.0 million, plus the amount of certain fees and accrued interest that have been capitalized (the “2020 BrandCo Facility”); (ii) commitments in respect of a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $950 million (the “Roll-up BrandCo Facility”); and (iii) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount outstanding on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date of $3.0 million (the “Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility”). Additionally, on May 28, 2020, Products Corporation borrowed from the 2020 Facilities Lenders an additional $65.0 million of term loans under the 2020 BrandCo Facility to repay in full the 2020 Incremental Facility under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, as a result of which the 2020 BrandCo Facility at June 30, 2020 had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $910.6 million (including paid-in-kind closing fees of $29.1 million and paid-in-kind interest of $1.5 million that were capitalized). Additionally, during 2020, certain lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, representing $846.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding, rolled-up to the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility, as a result of which the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility at September 30, 2020 had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $846.0 million. The Company determined that the roll-up of such 2016 Term Loan Facility lenders into the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility represented a debt modification under U.S. GAAP, as the cash flow effect between the amount that Products Corporation owed to the participating lenders under the old debt instrument (i.e., the 2016 Term Loan Facility) and the amount that Products Corporation owed to such lenders after the consummation of the roll-up into the new debt instrument (i.e., the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility) on a present value basis was less than 10% and, thus, the debt instruments were not considered to be substantially different within the meaning of ASC 470, Debt, under U.S. GAAP.
The proceeds of the 2020 BrandCo Facility were used: (i) to repay in full approximately $200 million of indebtedness outstanding under Products Corporation’s 2019 Term Loan Facility; (ii) to repay in full and terminate commitments under the 2020 Incremental Facility; and (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions. The Company will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the Roll-up BrandCo Facility are available prior to the third anniversary of the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date to purchase at par an equivalent amount of any remaining term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility held by the lenders participating in the 2020 BrandCo Facility or their transferees. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2020, certain lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility due June 2023, representing $846.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding, rolled-up to the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility due June 2025, as a result of which the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility at September 30, 2020 have an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $846.0 million, with a remaining capacity for the roll-up of loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility of $107.0 million. See “Subsequent Amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility” regarding the Supporting BrandCo Lenders subsequently relinquishing certain Roll-up Rights and Products Corporation’s issuance of the BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration.
The 2020 BrandCo Facilities will mature on June 30, 2025, subject to a springing maturity 91 days prior to the August 1, 2024 maturity date of Products Corporation’s 6.25% Senior Notes if, on such date, $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remain outstanding.
The Company incurred approximately $119.3 million of new debt issuance costs in connection with closing the 2020 BrandCo Facility, which include paid-in kind amounts that are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the related liability and amortized to interest expense in accordance with the effective interest method over the term of the 2020 BrandCo Facilities.
Borrower, Guarantees and Security: Products Corporation is the borrower under the 2020 BrandCo Facilities and the 2020 BrandCo Facilities are guaranteed by certain of Products Corporation's indirect subsidiaries (the “BrandCos”) that hold certain intellectual property assets related to the Elizabeth Arden and American Crew brands, certain other Portfolio segment brands and certain owned Fragrance segment brands (the “Specified Brand Assets”). While the BrandCos do not guarantee the 2016 Term Loan Facility, all guarantors of the 2016 Term Loan Facility guarantee the 2020 BrandCo Facilities. All of the assets of the BrandCos (including all capital stock issued by the BrandCos) have been pledged to secure the 2020 BrandCo Facility on a first-priority basis, the Roll-up BrandCo Facility on a second-priority basis and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility on a third-
F-40
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
priority basis and while such assets do not secure the 2016 Term Loan Facility, the 2020 BrandCo Facilities are secured on a pari passu basis by the assets securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility.
Contribution and License Agreements: In connection with the pledge of the Specified Brand Assets, Products Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries contributed the Specified Brand Assets to the BrandCos. Products Corporation entered into license and royalty arrangements on arm’s length terms with the relevant BrandCos to provide for the continued use of the Specified Brand Assets by Products Corporation and its subsidiaries during the term of the 2020 BrandCo Facilities.
Interest and Fees: Loans under the 2020 BrandCo Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 1.50%) plus (x) 10.50% per annum, payable not less than quarterly in arrears in cash and (y) 2.00% per annum payable not less than quarterly in-kind by adding such amount to the principal amount of outstanding loans under the 2020 BrandCo Facility. Loans under the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) plus 3.50% per annum, payable not less than quarterly in arrears in cash.
Affirmative and Negative Covenants: The 2020 BrandCo Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit Products Corporation’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur liens; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) make investments; (v) make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity; (vi) make prepayments of contractually subordinated, unsecured or junior lien debt; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; (viii) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (ix) change their lines of business; (x) restrict dividends from their subsidiaries or restrict liens; (xi) change their fiscal year; and (xii) modify the terms of certain debt. The 2020 BrandCo Facilities also restrict distributions and other payments from the BrandCos based on certain minimum thresholds of net sales with respect to the Specified Brand Assets. The 2020 BrandCo Facilities also contain certain customary representations, warranties and events of default, including a cross default provision making it an event of default under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement if there is an event of default under Products Corporation’s existing 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement or the indentures governing the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture. The lenders under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement may declare all outstanding loans under the 2020 BrandCo Facilities to be due and payable immediately upon an event of default. Under such circumstances, the lenders under the 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, and the holders under the Senior Notes Indentures may also declare all outstanding amounts under such instruments to be due and payable immediately as a result of similar cross default or cross acceleration provisions, subject to certain exceptions and limitations described in the relevant instruments.
Prepayments: The 2020 BrandCo Facilities are subject to certain mandatory prepayments, including from the net proceeds from the issuance of certain additional debt and asset sale proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property, subject to certain exceptions. The 2020 BrandCo Facilities may be repaid at any time, subject to customary prepayment premiums.
The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility at December 31, 2020 was $1,868.4 million, including $846.0 million of principal rolled-up from the 2016 Term Loan Facility to the Roll-up BrandCo Facility and the Junior Roll-up BrandCo Facility.
Subsequent Amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility
Prior to consummating the Exchange Offer Products Corporation and certain lenders under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility, representing more than a majority in aggregate principal amount of loans thereunder (the “Supporting BrandCo Lenders”), entered into a Transaction Support Agreement (the “BrandCo TSA”) under which the Supporting BrandCo Lenders agreed to take certain actions to facilitate the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, including, among other things:
•Relinquishing certain rights of such Supporting BrandCo Lenders to “roll-up” loans held by such Supporting BrandCo Lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility into New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility (the “Roll-up Rights”);
•Tendering any then-existing 5.75% Senior Notes held by such Supporting BrandCo Lenders into the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation;
•Consenting to amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility to permit the exchange of then-existing 5.75% Senior Notes for the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum and the payment of the BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration (as hereinafter defined);
•Consenting to other amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility and the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to permit the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation to be completed as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum; and
F-41
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
•Supporting and cooperating with Products Corporation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the BrandCo TSA and the Offering Memorandum, including the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.
In connection with such amendments, Products Corporation agreed to provide the following consideration (collectively, the “BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration”) upon the successful consummation of the Exchange Offer:
1.$12.5 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans as a fee to the Supporting BrandCo Lenders under the BrandCo TSA in connection with such Supporting BrandCo Lenders’ relinquishment of their Roll-up Rights;
2.$10.0 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans to one of the Supporting BrandCo Lenders in exchange for $18.7 million aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation’s 6.25% Senior Notes held by such Supporting BrandCo Lender; and
3.to all lenders under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility (including the Supporting BrandCo Lenders), an amendment fee that was payable pro rata based on principal amount of loans consenting, consisting of, at Products Corporation's option, either (x) an aggregate of $2.5 million of cash or (y) $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans. Pursuant to the BrandCo Amendment, Products Corporation elected to pay this fee in-kind in the form of $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans.
Upon the successful closing of the Exchange Offer, the Company capitalized the aforementioned paid-in-kind closing fees of $12.5 million and $5.0 million to the aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans issued in connection with the Exchange Offer.
Upon the successful closing of the Exchange Offer, the Company evaluated the aforementioned $10.0 million of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans issued to one of the Supporting BrandCo Lenders in exchange for $18.7 million aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation's 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 held by such Supporting BrandCo Lender and determined that it represented a TDR in accordance with ASC 470, Debt, as both criteria for a TDR where met, namely: (i) the creditors granted a concession, and (ii) the Company was experiencing financial difficulties. Since the expected future undiscounted cash flows under the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans exchanged in the transaction are higher than the net carrying value of the original 6.25% Senior Notes held by this lender (once prior loans with the same lender have also been considered), no gain was recorded and a new effective interest rate was established based on the revised cash flows and the net carrying value of the above-mentioned 6.25% Senior Notes that were exchanged in the transaction. Following the applicability of the TDR guidance, future interest payments of $8.7 million as of the day of closing of the Exchange Offer were also included in the carrying value of the restructured debt.
On November 13, 2020, Products Corporation entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 (the “BrandCo Amendment”) to the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement in connection with the Exchange Offer in order to, among other things, provide for the incurrence of $75 million in aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans (exclusive of the BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration). The New BrandCo Second Lien Term Loans are a separate tranche of “Term B-2 Loans” (ranking junior to the Term B-1 Loans and senior to the Term B-3 Loans with respect to liens on certain specified collateral) under the BrandCo Credit Agreement. Except as to the use of proceeds, the terms of the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans are substantially consistent with the other Term B-2 Loans. In connection with the BrandCo Amendment, Products Corporation paid certain fees to the lenders in-kind in the form of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans in accordance with the BrandCo TSA.
(c) 2016 Term Loan Facility Extension Amendment
In connection with the closing of the 2020 BrandCo Facility on May 7, 2020, term loan lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility were offered the opportunity to participate at par in the 2020 BrandCo Facilities based on their holdings of term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. Lenders participating in the 2020 BrandCo Facilities, as well as other consenting lenders representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the loans and commitments under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, consented to an amendment to the 2016 Term Loan Facility (the “Extension Amendment”) that, among other things, made certain modifications to the covenants thereof and extended the maturity date of certain consenting lenders’ term loans (“Extended Term Loans”) to June 30, 2025, subject to (i) the same September 7, 2023 springing maturity date of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility if, on such date, $75 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility remains outstanding, and (ii) a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the August 1, 2024 maturity date of the 6.25% Senior Notes if, on such date, $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remains outstanding. The Extension Amendment became effective on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $30.6 million in aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans were outstanding after giving effect to the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions. The Extended Term Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) plus 3.50% per annum, payable not less than quarterly in arrears in cash, consistent with the
F-42
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
interest rate applicable to the non-extended term loans. Approximately $17.0 million of accrued interest outstanding on the 2016 Term Loan Facility was paid on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date. As a result of such transaction, as of December 31, 2020, $853.3 million of the 2016 Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on the Original Maturity Date and $30.6 million is scheduled to mature on the Extended Maturity Date and, thus, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2016 Term Loan Facility at December 31, 2020 was $883.9 million.
(d) Repurchases of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021
On May 7, 2020, Products Corporation used a portion of the proceeds from the 2020 BrandCo Facility to repurchase and subsequently cancel $50 million in aggregate principal face amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes. Products Corporation also paid approximately $0.7 million of accrued interest outstanding on the 5.75% Senior Notes on May 7, 2020. After the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date, Products Corporation repurchased and subsequently canceled in July 2020 a further $62.8 million in aggregate principal face amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes. Furthermore, during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2020, Products Corporation repurchased and subsequently canceled an additional $44.4 million in aggregate principal face amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2020, Products Corporation had repurchased and subsequently cancelled a total of approximately $157.2 million in aggregate principal face amount of its 5.75% Senior Notes, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $43.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was recorded within "Gain on early extinguishment of debt" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. See hereinafter for more information regarding Products Corporation's 5.75% Senior Notes and the related Exchange Offer. Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the satisfaction and full discharge of the remaining 5.75% Senior Notes, no 5.75% Senior Notes remain outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
(e) Prepayment of the 2019 Term Loan Facility due 2023
On the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date, Products Corporation used a portion of the proceeds from the 2020 BrandCo Facility to fully prepay the entire principal amount outstanding under its 2019 Term Loan Facility, totaling $200 million, plus approximately $1.3 million of accrued interest outstanding thereon, as well as approximately $33.5 million in prepayment premiums, $10.3 million in lenders' fees, $0.3 million in legal fees and approximately $2.0 million in other third party fees. As the lenders under the 2019 Term Loan Facility participated in the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility, the Company determined that the full repayment of the 2019 Term Loan Facility represented a debt modification under U.S. GAAP as the cash flow effect between the old debt instrument (i.e., the 2019 Term Loan Facility) and the new debt instrument (i.e., the 2020 BrandCo Facility) on a present value basis was less than 10% and, thus, the debt instruments were not considered to be substantially different within the meaning of ASC 470, Debt, under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the $33.5 million of prepayment premiums, as well as the $10.3 million in other lenders' fees were capitalized as part of the aforementioned $119.3 million of total new debt issuance costs for the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility, while the aforementioned $0.3 million of legal fees and $2.0 million in other third party fees were expensed as incurred in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
(f) Amendment to the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility
On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2018 Foreign Asset Based Term Facility, which had an original outstanding principal amount of €77 million. Such amendment provided for the following:
•increasing the interest rate on the loan from EURIBOR (with a floor 0.50%) plus a margin of 6.50% to EURIBOR (with a floor 0.50%) plus a margin of 7.00%;
•amending the percentages applied in computing the borrowing base from 85% to 78.75% for eligible accounts receivable and from 90% to 80% against the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory;
•adding a springing maturity date of 91 days prior to the February 15, 2021 maturity of the 5.75% Senior Notes if any of Products Corporation's 5.75% Senior Notes remained outstanding on such date;
•requiring a mandatory prepayment of €5.0 million; and
•clarifying certain terms and waiving certain provisions in connection with the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions.
Approximately $0.4 million of amendment fees paid to the lenders under 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility were capitalized and are amortized to interest expense, together with any unamortized debt issuance costs outstanding prior to the amendment. The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility was a euro-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan facility that various, mostly foreign subsidiaries of Products Corporation entered into on July 9, 2018 and which was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, there was the Euro equivalent of $59.2 million aggregate principal
F-43
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
outstanding under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, reflecting a repayment of €28.5 million made during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
(g) Amendments to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement
On October 23, 2020 (the “Amendment No. 5 Effective Date”), Products Corporation entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to its Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016 (as amended from time to time, the “Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility”, and the revolving credit facility thereunder, the “Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility” the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, together with the 2016 Credit Agreement, the “2016 Credit Agreements”).
The Amendment No. 5 amended and restated the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement to add a new Tranche B consisting of $50 million aggregate principal amount of “first-in, last-out” Tranche B term loans (such new Tranche B, the “2020 ABL FILO Term Loan Facility”). The Amendment No. 5 also required Products Corporation to maintain "Excess Availability" (as defined in Amendment No. 5) of at least $85 million from the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date until the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer were consummated (such date, the “Exchange Offer Effective Date”). As a result, on October 23, 2020, Products Corporation repaid $35 million of Tranche A loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement.
On the Exchange Offer Effective Date, Products Corporation’s As-Adjusted Liquidity was required to be at least $175 million (which condition was satisfied) and Products Corporation could not hold more than $100 million in cash or Cash Equivalents (as defined in the 5th Amendment). Furthermore, the 5th Amendment provided that a $30 million reserve will be automatically and immediately established against the Tranche A Borrowing Base (as defined in the 5th Amendment) if the results of ongoing appraisals and field exams were not delivered to the administrative agent prior to the occurrence of certain specified defaults.
Products Corporation paid customary fees to Alter Domus (US) LLC as the administrative agent for the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loan Facility. Except as to maturity date, interest, borrowing base and differences due to their nature as term loans, the terms of the 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans are otherwise substantially consistent with the Tranche A Revolving Loans.
On May 7, 2020, in connection with consummating the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions, Products Corporation entered into Amendment No. 4 to (the “Amendment No. 4”) to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Amendment No. 4, among other things, made certain amendments and provided for certain waivers relating to the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. In exchange for such amendments and waivers, the interest rate margin applicable to loans under Tranche A of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility increased by 0.75%. In connection with the amendments to the 2018 Tranche B of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (which was fully repaid on its May 17, 2020 extended maturity date), Products Corporation incurred approximately $1.1 million in lender's fees that upon its full repayment were entirely expensed within “Miscellaneous, net” on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as of December 31, 2020.
On April 17, 2020 (the “FILO Closing Date”), Products Corporation entered into Amendment No. 3 to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (“Amendment No. 3”), pursuant to which, the maturity date applicable to $36.3 million of loans under the $41.5 million senior secured first in, last out 2018 Tranche B under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility (the “2018 FILO Tranche”) was extended from April 17, 2020 to May 17, 2020 (the “Amendment No. 3 Extended Maturity Date”). Products Corporation repaid the remaining approximately $5.2 million of the 2018 FILO Tranche loans as of the FILO Closing Date. In addition, Amendment No. 3 increased the applicable interest margin for the 2018 FILO Tranche by 0.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. Products Corporation fully repaid the 2018 FILO Tranche on the Amendment No. 3 Extended Maturity Date.
Total borrowings at face amount under Tranche A and Tranche B of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2020 were $138.9 million and $50 million, respectively.

Other 2020 Debt Related Transactions
MacAndrews & Forbes 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility
In light of the upcoming maturity on July 9, 2021 of the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility (as hereinafter defined) and the expiration on December 31, 2020 of the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility (see "Previous Years' Debt Related Transaction" for further details about the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Agreement), the Company sought to refinance or extend both the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility. Products Corporation sought to do so in order to reinforce its liquidity position to be better able to address the current business and economic environment and prepare for any further potential disruptions to its business and operations as may be brought on by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or other events.
As a result, and anticipating a future refinancing of the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility (a “Future Refinanced European ABL Facility”), on September 28, 2020, Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes Group, LLC (“M&F”) entered into the Second Amended and Restated 2019 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit Facility (the “2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility”), which amended and restated the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility and will provide Products Corporation with up to a $30 million tranche of a new facility of the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility (the “New European ABL FILO Facility”) that would be secured on a “last-out” basis by the same collateral as the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility or, if no Future Refinanced European ABL Facility is obtained, a stand-alone $30 million credit facility secured by the same collateral as the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility when that facility is terminated, in each case, subject to a borrowing base. As of December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, and the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility terminated on such date. M&F’s commitment in respect of the New European ABL FILO Facility survived the termination of the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility and, if not used, would have terminated on July 9, 2021.
The New European ABL FILO Facility would mature on (x) the maturity date of any such Future Refinanced European ABL Facility or (y) if there is no Future Refinanced European ABL Facility, July 9, 2022. To the extent the Future Refinanced European ABL Facility exceeds $35.0 million in principal amount, the amount available under the New European ABL FILO Facility would decrease on a dollar-for-dollar basis, such that, if Products Corporation were able to obtain a Future Refinanced ABL Facility of $65.0 million from third parties, there would be no amounts available under the New European ABL FILO Facility. The interest rate for the New European ABL FILO Facility will be LIBOR plus 10.00%. The covenants for the New European ABL FILO Facility would be substantially the same as those applicable to the 2018 European ABL Facility.
Upon the closing of the 2021 Asset-Based Term Facility on March 2, 2021 without the participation of M&F as a lender, M&F’s commitment in respect of the New European ABL FILO Facility under the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility terminated in accordance with its terms (see Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements).
Incremental Revolving Credit Facility under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement
On April 30, 2020, Products Corporation entered into a Joinder Agreement (the “2020 Joinder Agreement”), with Revlon, certain of their subsidiaries and certain existing lenders (the “Incremental Lenders”) under Products Corporation’s 2016 Term Loan Agreement (the “2016 Term Loan Agreement”) to provide for a $65 million incremental revolving credit facility (the “2020 Incremental Facility”). On the closing of the 2020 Incremental Facility, Products Corporation borrowed $63.5 million of revolving loans for working capital purposes and subsequently on May 11, 2020 Products Corporation also borrowed the additional $1.5 million of delayed funding revolving loans. Prior to its full repayment on May 28, 2020, amounts outstanding under the 2020 Incremental Facility bore interest at a rate of (x) LIBOR plus 16% or (y) an Alternate Base Rate plus 15%, at Products Corporation’s option. Except as to pricing, maturity and differences due to its revolving nature, the terms of the 2020 Incremental Facility were otherwise substantially consistent with the existing term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. On May 28, 2020, the 2020 Incremental Facility was repaid in full, and the commitments thereunder terminated. Upon such repayment, approximately $2.9 million of upfront commitment fees that Products Corporation incurred in connection with consummating the 2020 Incremental Facility were entirely expensed within "Miscellaneous, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Previous Years' Debt Related Transactions
2019 Term Loan Facility
F-45
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
In August 2019, Products Corporation entered into a senior secured term loan facility among certain affiliated funds, investment vehicles or accounts managed or advised by Ares Management LLC, as lender, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $200 million (the “2019 Term Loan Facility” and such agreement being the “2019 Term Loan Agreement”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association (“Wilmington Trust”), as administrative and collateral agent.
On the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date, Products Corporation used a portion of the proceeds from the 2020 BrandCo Facility to fully prepay the entire principal amount outstanding under its 2019 Term Loan Facility, totaling $200 million, plus approximately $1.3 million of accrued interest outstanding thereon, as well as approximately $33.5 million in prepayment premiums, $10.3 million in lenders’ fees, $0.3 million in legal fees and approximately $2.0 million in other third party fees. As the lenders under the 2019 Term Loan Facility participated in the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility, the Company determined that the full repayment of the 2019 Term Loan Facility represented a debt modification under U.S. GAAP as the cash flow effect between the old debt instrument (i.e., the 2019 Term Loan Facility) and the new debt instrument (i.e., the 2020 BrandCo Facility) on a present value basis was less than 10% and, thus, the debt instruments were not considered to be substantially different within the meaning of ASC 470, Debt, under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the $33.5 million of prepayment premiums, as well as the $10.3 million in other lenders' fees were capitalized as part of the aforementioned $119.3 million of total new debt issuance costs for the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility, while the aforementioned $0.3 million of legal fees and $2.0 million in other third party fees were expensed as incurred in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility Agreement
The 2019 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement was obtained in June 2019 from MacAndrews & Forbes Group, LLC, and provides Products Corporation with a $30 million senior unsecured line of credit, which facility allowed Products Corporation to request loans thereunder and to use the proceeds of such loans for working capital and other general corporate purposes until the facility matured. In November 2019, Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes Group, LLC entered into the Amended and Restated 2019 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement (the “Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Agreement”) to extend the maturity of such facility by 1-year, expiring December 31, 2020 (the "Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility"). As of December 31, 2019 and as of the November 7, 2019 extension date, there were no borrowings outstanding or repayments under the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility. Any loans outstanding under the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility would bear interest at an annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly in arrears in cash. Products Corporation may, at its option, prepay any borrowings under the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility, in whole or in part (together with accrued and unpaid interest), at any time prior to maturity, without premium or penalty. Products Corporation was required to repay any outstanding loans under the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility, together with accrued interest thereon, if for any reason Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries had available unrestricted cash that Products Corporation determined, in its reasonable judgment, was not required to run their operations in the ordinary course of business, provided that such repayment would not result in material adverse tax consequences. The Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Agreement included customary events of default, including a cross default provision making it an event of default under the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Agreement if there exists and continues an event default under Products Corporation’s 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the 2019 Term Loan Agreement or the Senior Notes Indentures. If any such event of default occurred, MacAndrews & Forbes Group, LLC could declare all outstanding loans under the Amended 2019 Senior Line of Credit Facility to be due and payable immediately.
In September 2020, Products Corporation entered into the Second Amended and Restated 2019 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement, which further amended and restated the Amended and Restated 2019 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit Agreement and subsequently terminated on December 31, 2020.
March 2019 Amendment to the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement
In March 2019, Products Corporation, Revlon and certain of their subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 2, the maturity date applicable to the $41.5 million senior secured first in, last out Tranche B of the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was extended from April 17, 2019 to April 17, 2020. The 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement provided that the “Liquidity Amount” (defined in the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement as the sum of each borrowing base less the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding extensions of credit under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, and (y) any availability reserve in effect on such date) may exceed the aggregate commitments under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility by up to 5%. Amendment No. 2 limited the Liquidity Amount to no more than the aggregate commitments under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Under the 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, a “Liquidity Event Period” generally occurred if Products Corporation’s Liquidity Amount fell below the greater of $35 million and 10% of the maximum availability under the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. Amendment No. 2 changed these thresholds to $50 million and 15%, respectively, only for

purposes of triggering certain notification obligations of Products Corporation, increased borrowing base reporting frequency and the ability of the administrative agent to apply amounts collected in controlled accounts for the repayment of loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. After entering into Amendment No. 2, in March 2019 Products Corporation’s availability under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was $37.3 million, which was less than the greater of $35 million and 10% of the maximum availability under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which at such date equated to $41.3 million. Accordingly, effective beginning in March 2019 Products Corporation is required to maintain a FCCR of a minimum of 1.0 to 1.0 (which it currently satisfies), the administrative agent may apply amounts collected in controlled accounts for the repayment of loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which the administrative agent began applying in March 2019, and Products Corporation is required to provide the administrative agent with weekly borrowing base certificates. Products Corporation will be required to: (i) maintain such 1.0 to 1.0 minimum FCCR until such time that availability under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility equals or exceeds the greater of $35 million and 10% of the maximum availability under such facility for at least 20 consecutive business days; and (ii) Products Corporation will continue to provide the administrative agent with weekly borrowing base certificates and the administrative agent may continue to apply amounts collected in controlled accounts as set forth above in each case until such time that availability under such facility is equal or exceeds the greater of $50 million and 15% of the maximum availability under such facility for at least 20 consecutive business days. Amendment No. 2 also adjusts, among other things, the “payment conditions” required to make unlimited restricted payments.
2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Loan Credit Agreement
In July 2018, Revlon Holdings B.V. (the "Dutch Borrower"), a wholly owned indirect foreign subsidiary of Products Corporation, Revlon Finance LLC, a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Dutch Borrower (the "U.S. Co-Borrower" and, together with the Dutch Borrower, the "2018 ABTL Borrowers"), the other loan parties and guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., acting as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "2018 ABTL Agent"), entered into an Asset-Based Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility" and the "2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement," respectively) and related guarantee and security agreements.
Principal and Maturity: The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility provides for a euro-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €77 million, the full amount of which was funded on the closing of the facility in July 2018. The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility has an uncommitted incremental facility pursuant to which it may be increased from time to time by up to €43 million, subject to certain conditions and the agreement of the lenders providing such increase. The proceeds of the loans under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility were used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility matures on July 9, 2021.
The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement requires the maintenance of a borrowing base supporting the borrowing thereunder, to be evidenced with the delivery of monthly borrowing base certificates customary for facilities of this type, with more frequent reporting required upon the triggering of certain events. The borrowing base calculation under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is based on the sum of: (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable; and (ii) 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, in each case with respect to certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries organized in Australia, Bermuda, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland (the "2018 ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantors" and, together with the 2018 ABTL Borrowers, the "2018 ABTL Loan Parties"). The borrowing bases in each jurisdiction are subject to certain customary availability reserves set by the Agent.
Guarantees and Security: The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is guaranteed by the 2018 ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantors, as well as by the direct parent entities of each Borrowing Base Guarantor (not including Revlon or Products Corporation) on a limited recourse basis (the "2018 ABTL Parent Guarantors"). The obligations of the 2018 ABTL Loan Parties and the 2018 ABTL Parent Guarantors under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility are secured by first-ranking pledges of the equity of each 2018 ABTL Loan Party, the inventory and accounts receivable of the 2018 ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantors, the material bank accounts of each 2018 ABTL Loan Party, the material intercompany indebtedness owing to any Loan Party (including any intercompany loans made with the proceeds of the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility) and 2018 ABTL certain other material assets of the 2018 ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantors. The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility includes a cash dominion feature customary for transactions of this type.
Interest and Fees: Interest is payable on each interest payment date as set forth in the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, and in any event at least quarterly, and accrues on borrowings under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR rate, with a floor of 0.50%, plus an applicable margin equal to 6.50%. The Borrowers are obligated to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, including a fee payable to Citibank, N.A. for its services as 2018 ABTL Agent. Loans under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Affirmative and Negative Covenants: The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the 2018 ABTL Loan Parties’ ability to, subject to various exceptions and qualifications: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur liens; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) make investments; (v) make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity; (vi) make prepayments of contractually subordinated or junior lien debt; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates, including amending certain material intercompany agreements or trade terms; (viii) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (ix) change their lines of business; (x) restrict dividends from their subsidiaries or restrict liens; (xi) change their fiscal year; and (xii) modify the terms of certain debt. The 2018 ABTL Parent Guarantors are subject to certain customary holding company covenants. The ability of the 2018 ABTL Loan Parties to make certain intercompany asset sales, investments, restricted payments and prepayments of intercompany debt is contingent on certain "cash movement conditions" or "payment conditions" being met, which among other things, require a certain level of liquidity for the applicable 2018 ABTL Loan Party to effect such type of transactions. The 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement also contains certain customary representations, warranties and events of default.
Prepayments: The 2018 ABTL Borrowers must prepay loans under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility to the extent that outstanding loans exceed the borrowing base. In lieu of a mandatory prepayment, the 2018 ABTL Loan Parties may deposit cash in an amount not to exceed 10% of the borrowing base into a designated U.S. bank account with the 2018 ABTL Agent that is subject to a control agreement (such cash, the "Qualified Cash"). If any such over-advance has not been cured within 60 days, the Qualified Cash may be applied, at the 2018 ABTL's Agent’s option, to prepay the loans under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. To the extent certain levels of availability are obtained during a certain period of time, the 2018 ABTL Borrowers can withdraw the Qualified Cash from such bank account. In addition, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds from the incurrence by the 2018 ABTL Loan Parties of debt not permitted thereunder.
During 2018, the Company incurred approximately $5.7 million of fees and expenses in connection with consummating the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, which were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2020, there was the Euro equivalent of $59.2 million aggregate principal outstanding under the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, reflecting a repayment of €28.5 million made during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
The 2018 Foreign Asset Based Term Facility was subsequently refinanced and replaced in its entirety by the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. See Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
2016 Term Loan Facility
Principal and Maturity: On the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date, Products Corporation entered into the 2016 Term Loan Agreement, for which Citibank, N.A. acts as administrative and collateral agent and which has an initial aggregate principal amount of $1.8 billion and matures on September 7, 2023. The loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility were borrowed at an original issue discount of 0.5% to their principal amount. The 2016 Term Loan Facility may be increased by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the greater of $450 million and 90% of Products Corporation’s pro forma consolidated EBITDA, plus (y) an unlimited amount to the extent that (1) the first lien leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of Products Corporation’s net senior secured funded debt that is not junior or subordinated to the liens of the Senior Facilities to EBITDA) is less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0 (for debt secured pari passu with the 2016 Term Loan Facility) or (2) the secured leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of Products Corporation’s net senior secured funded debt to EBITDA) is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.0 (for junior lien or unsecured debt), plus (z) up to an additional $400 million if the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility has been repaid and terminated. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2016 Term Loan Facility at December 31, 2020 was $883.9 million.
Guarantees and Security: Products Corporation and the restricted subsidiaries under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, which include Products Corporation’s subsidiaries, including Elizabeth Arden and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Restricted Group"), are subject to the covenants under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement. The 2016 Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by each of Products Corporation's existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (subject to various exceptions), certain foreign subsidiaries, as well as by Revlon, on a limited recourse basis. The obligations of Revlon, Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors under the 2016 Term Loan Facility are secured by pledges of the equity of Products Corporation held by Revlon and the equity of the Restricted Group held by Products Corporation and each subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions, including equity of first-tier foreign subsidiaries in excess of 65% of the voting equity interests of such entity) and by substantially all tangible and intangible personal and real property of Products Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain exclusions). The obligors and guarantors under the 2016 Term Loan Facility and the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility are identical. The liens securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility on the accounts, inventory, equipment, chattel paper, documents, instruments, deposit accounts, real estate and investment property and general intangibles (other than intellectual property) related thereto (the "Revolving Facility Collateral") rank second in priority to the
F-48
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
liens thereon securing the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility. The liens securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility on all other property, including capital stock, intellectual property and certain other intangible property (the "Term Loan Collateral"), rank first in priority to the liens thereon securing the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, while the liens thereon securing the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility rank second in priority to the liens thereon securing the 2016 Term Loan Facility.
Interest and Fees: Interest accrues on term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility at a rate per annum of adjusted LIBOR (which has a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 3.5% or an alternate base rate plus a margin of 2.5%, at Products Corporation’s option, and is payable quarterly, at a minimum. Products Corporation is obligated to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the 2016 Term Loan Facility.
Affirmative and Negative Covenants: The 2016 Term Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Restricted Group’s ability to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur liens; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) make investments; (v) make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity; (vi) make prepayments of contractually subordinated or junior lien debt; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; (viii) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (ix) change their lines of business; (x) restrict dividends from their subsidiaries or restrict liens; (xi) change their fiscal year; and (xii) modify the terms of certain debt. The negative covenants are subject to various exceptions, including an "available amount basket" based on 50% of Products Corporation’s cumulative consolidated net income, plus a "starter" basket of $200 million, subject to Products Corporation’s compliance with a 5.0 to 1.0 ratio of Products Corporation’s net debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2016 Term Loan Agreement), except such compliance is not required when such baskets are used to make investments. While the 2016 Term Loan Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and events of default, it does not contain any financial maintenance covenants.
Incremental Revolving Credit Facility under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement: On April 30, 2020, Products Corporation entered into the 2020 Joinder Agreement, with Revlon, certain of their subsidiaries and the Incremental Lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement to provide for the 2020 Incremental Facility. On the closing of the 2020 Incremental Facility, Products Corporation borrowed $63.5 million of revolving loans for working capital purposes and subsequently on May 11, 2020 Products Corporation also borrowed the additional $1.5 million of delayed funding revolving loans. On May 28, 2020, the 2020 Incremental Facility was repaid in full, and the commitments thereunder terminated.
2016 Term Loan Facility Extension Amendment: In connection with the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions, term loan lenders under the 2016 Term Loan Facility were offered the opportunity to participate at par in the 2020 BrandCo Facilities based on their holdings of term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility. Lenders participating in the 2020 BrandCo Facilities, as well as other consenting lenders representing, in the aggregate, a majority of the loans and commitments under the 2016 Term Loan Facility, consented to the Extension Amendment, which, among other things, made certain modifications to the covenants thereof and extended the maturity date of certain consenting lenders’ term loans to June 30, 2025, subject to (i) the same September 7, 2023 springing maturity date of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility if, on such date, $75 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility remains outstanding, and (ii) a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the August 1, 2024 maturity date of the 6.25% Senior Notes if, on such date, $100 million or more in aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes remains outstanding. The Extension Amendment became effective on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $30.6 million in aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans were outstanding after giving effect to the 2020 BrandCo Refinancing Transactions. The Extended Term Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) plus 3.50% per annum, payable not less than quarterly in arrears in cash, consistent with the interest rate applicable to the non-extended term loans. Approximately $17.0 million of accrued interest outstanding on the 2016 Term Loan Facility was paid on the BrandCo 2020 Facilities Closing Date. The aggregate principal amount of non-extended term loans under the 2016 Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $853.3 million.

6.25% Senior Notes
In August 2016, Revlon Escrow Corporation (the "Escrow Issuer"), which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Products Corporation, completed the 6.25% Senior Notes offering, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the "Securities Act"), of $450 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024. The 6.25% Senior Notes are unsecured and were initially issued by the Escrow Issuer to the initial purchasers under an Indenture, dated as of August 4, 2016 (the "6.25% Senior Notes Indenture"), between the Escrow Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "6.25% Senior Notes Trustee"). The 6.25% Senior Notes mature on August 1, 2024. Interest on the 6.25% Senior Notes accrues at 6.25% per annum, paid every six months through maturity on each February 1 and August 1. The proceeds from the 6.25% Senior Notes were released from escrow on the September 7, 2016 The Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date (the "Escrow Release"). On the Elizabeth Arden Acquisition Date, the Escrow Issuer was merged with and into Products Corporation and in connection with the Escrow Release, Products Corporation and certain of its direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, including Elizabeth Arden and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "6.25% Senior Notes Guarantors"), and the 6.25% Senior Notes Trustee entered into a supplemental indenture (the "6.25% Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture") to the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture, pursuant to which Products Corporation assumed the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the 6.25% Senior Notes and the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture and the 6.25% Senior Notes Guarantors jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 6.25% Senior Notes on a senior unsecured basis (the "6.25% Senior Notes Guarantees"). The 6.25% Senior Notes Guarantors are the same entities that are subsidiary guarantors under the 2016 Senior Credit Facilities.
In December 2016, Products Corporation consummated an offer to exchange the original 6.25% Senior Notes for $450 million of new 6.25% Senior Notes, which have substantially the same terms as the original 6.25% Senior Notes, except that they are registered under the Securities Act (such registered new notes being the "6.25% Senior Notes").
Ranking: The 6.25% Senior Notes are Products Corporation’s senior, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations, ranking: (i) pari passu in right of payment with all of Products Corporation’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to all of Products Corporation’s and the 6.25% Senior Notes Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness; and (iii) effectively junior to all of Products Corporation’s and the 6.25% Senior Notes Guarantors’ existing and future senior secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under Products Corporation’s 2016 Senior Credit Facilities and the 2019 Term Loan Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 6.25% Senior Notes and the 6.25% Senior Notes Guarantees are: (i) structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and preferred stock of any of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 6.25% Senior Notes; and (ii) pari passu in right of payment with liabilities of the 6.25% Senior Notes Guarantors other than expressly subordinated indebtedness. The 6.25% Senior Notes and the 6.25% Senior Notes Guarantees rank effectively junior to indebtedness and preferred stock of Products Corporation’s foreign and immaterial subsidiaries (including the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility) (the "6.25% Senior Notes Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"), none of which guarantee the 6.25% Senior Notes.
Optional Redemption: Products Corporation may redeem the 6.25% Senior Notes at its option, at any time as a whole, or from time to time in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued interest to (but not including) the date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on August 1 of the years indicated below:
Period | Optimal Redemption Premium Percentage | |||||||
2020 | 103.125 | % | ||||||
2021 | 101.563 | % | ||||||
2022 and thereafter | 100.000 | % | ||||||
All redemptions (and notices thereof) may be subject to various conditions precedent, and redemption dates specified in such notices may be extended so that such conditions precedent may be fulfilled (to the extent redemption on such dates is otherwise permitted by the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture).
Change of Control: Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, Products Corporation is required to make an offer to purchase all of the 6.25% Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 6.25% Senior Notes as of the date of any such repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the date of repurchase.
Certain Covenants: The 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture imposes certain limitations on Products Corporation’s and the 6.25% Senior Notes Guarantors’ ability, and the ability of certain other subsidiaries, to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends, make certain investments and make repayments on indebtedness that is
F-50
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
subordinated in right of payment to the 6.25% Senior Notes and make other "restricted payments" (iii) create liens on their assets to secure debt; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; (v) merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another company; (vi) transfer and sell assets; and (vii) permit restrictions on the payment of dividends by Products Corporation's subsidiaries.
These covenants are subject to important qualifications and exceptions. The 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture also contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default. In addition, if during any period of time the 6.25% Senior Notes receive investment grade ratings from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture, Products Corporation and its subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants regarding limitations on debt, limitations on restricted payments, limitation on guarantees by restricted subsidiaries, limitation on transactions with affiliates, certain provisions of the successor company covenant, limitation on asset sales and limitation on dividends from restricted subsidiaries.
Under the BrandCo TSA, Supporting BrandCo Lenders agreed to take certain actions to facilitate the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, including, among other things: (i) consenting to amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility to permit the exchange of Existing 5.75% Senior Notes for, among other things, the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans under the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum and the payment of the BrandCo Support and Consent Consideration and (ii) consenting to other amendments to the 2020 BrandCo Term Loan Facility and the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility to permit the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation to be completed as contemplated by the Offering Memorandum. In connection with such amendments, Products Corporation agreed to provide, among other things, $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans to one of the Supporting BrandCo Lenders in exchange for $18.7 million aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation’s 6.25% Senior Notes held by such Supporting BrandCo Lender as consideration upon the successful consummation of the Exchange Offer: The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 6.25% Senior Notes at December 31, 2020 was $431.3 million.
Covenants
Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the 2020 BrandCo Credit Agreement, 2016 Credit Agreements, the 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility, as well as with all applicable covenants under its 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture, in each case as of December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, the aggregate principal amounts outstanding and availability under Products Corporation’s various revolving credit facilities were as follows:
| Commitment | Borrowing Base | Aggregate principal amount outstanding at December 31, 2020 | Availability at December 31, 2020 (a) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility | $ | 400.0 | $ | 356.9 | $ | 188.9 | $ | 168.0 | |||||||||||||||
| 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility | $ | 30.0 | N/A | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||||||||||||
(a) Availability as of December 31, 2020 is based upon the borrowing base then in effect under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility of $356.9 million, less $188.9 million then drawn consisting of $138.9 million Tranche A revolving loans and $50 million of 2020 ABL FILO Term Loans. As Products Corporation’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was greater than 1.0 to 1.0 as of December 31, 2020, all of the $168.0 million of availability under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was available as of such date. The 2018 Tranche B under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was fully repaid in May 2020. The revolving commitments under the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility were terminated on December 31, 2020.
The Company’s foreign subsidiaries held $89.8 million out of the Company's total $97.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020. While the cash held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is primarily used to fund their operations, the Company regularly assesses its global cash needs and the available sources of cash to fund these needs, which regularly includes repatriating foreign-held cash to settle historical intercompany loans and other intercompany payables.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and liabilities are required to be categorized into three levels of fair value based upon the assumptions used to value the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities are as follows:
•Level 1: Fair valuing the asset or liability using observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
F-51
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
•Level 2: Fair valuing the asset or liability using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and
•Level 3: Fair valuing the asset or liability using unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.
As of both December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value.
As of December 31, 2020, the fair value and carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, are categorized in the table below:

The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their respective fair values.
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Letters of Credit
Products Corporation maintains standby and trade letters of credit for various corporate purposes under which Products Corporation is obligated, of which $7.8 million and $11.4 million (including amounts available under credit agreements in effect at that time) were maintained as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Included in these amounts are approximately $5.3 million and $8.3 million in standby letters of credit that primarily support Products Corporation’s workers compensation, general liability and automobile insurance programs, in each case as outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At December 31, 2020 all of the outstanding letters of credit were collateralized with a deposit of cash at the issuing financial institution. The estimated liability under such programs is accrued by Products Corporation.

The Company offers a qualified defined contribution plan for its U.S.-based employees, the Revlon Employees' Savings, Investment and Profit Sharing Plan (as amended, the "Savings Plan"), which allows eligible participants to contribute up to 25%, and highly compensated participants to contribute up to 12%, of eligible compensation through payroll deductions, subject to certain annual dollar limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). The Company matches employee contributions at fifty cents for each dollar contributed up to the first 6% of eligible compensation. The Company made cash matching contributions to the Savings Plan of $1.4 million and $5.5 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively. The

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Company also offers a non-qualified defined contribution plan (the "Excess Savings Plan") providing benefits for certain U.S. employees who are in excess of IRS limitations. These non-qualified defined contribution benefits are funded from the Company's general assets.
The Company’s qualified and non-qualified defined contribution savings plans for its U.S.-based employees contain a discretionary profit-sharing component that enables the Company, should it elect to do so, to make discretionary profit-sharing contributions. For 2020, the Company did not make discretionary profit-sharing contributions to the Savings Plan and Excess Savings Plan. For 2019, the Company made discretionary profit-sharing contributions to the Savings Plan and Excess Savings Plan of $7.2 million (of which $5.6 million was paid in 2019 and $1.6 million was paid in January 2020), or up to 3% of eligible compensation, which was credited on a quarterly basis.
Pension Benefits:
In 2009, Products Corporation’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (the Revlon Employees’ Retirement Plan, which covered a substantial portion of the Company's employees in the U.S.) and its non-qualified pension plan (the Revlon Pension Equalization Plan) were amended to cease future benefit accruals under such plans after December 31, 2009. No additional benefits have accrued since December 31, 2009, other than interest credits on participant account balances under the cash balance program of the Company’s U.S. pension plans. Also, service credits for vesting and early retirement eligibility will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of the respective plans. In 2010, the Company amended its Canadian defined benefit pension plan (the Affiliated Revlon Companies Employment Plan) to reduce future benefit accruals under such plan after December 31, 2010. Additionally, while the Company closed its U.K. defined pension plan to new entrants in 2002, then-existing participants continue to accrue pension benefits.
Products Corporation also sponsors two U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans, has non-qualified pension plans that provide benefits for certain U.S. and non-U.S. employees, and for U.S. employees in excess of IRS limitations in the U.S. and in certain limited cases contractual benefits for certain former officers of the Company. These non-qualified plans are funded from the Company's general assets.
Post-retirement Benefits:
The Company previously sponsored an unfunded retiree benefit plan, which provides death benefits payable to beneficiaries of a very limited number of former employees. Participation in this plan was limited to participants enrolled as of December 31, 1993. The Company also administers an unfunded medical insurance plan on behalf of Revlon Holdings, certain costs of which have been apportioned to Revlon Holdings under the transfer agreements among Revlon, Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes. (See Note 19, "Related Party Transactions").

The $36.8 million increase in the Company’s projected pension benefit obligation at December 31, 2020 as compared to December 31, 2019, is primarily due to the reduction in the discount rates, which had the effect of increasing the Company’s projected pension benefit obligation by approximately $50.5 million.
Net Periodic Benefit Cost
The components of net periodic benefit costs for the Company's pension and the other post-retirement benefit plans were as follows:

In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized net periodic benefit cost of $4.0 million, compared to net periodic benefit cost of $7.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to lower interest costs and higher curtailment and settlement gains in 2020, partially offset by lower expected return on plan assets and higher amortization of actuarial loss.
Net periodic benefit costs are reflected in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as follows for the periods presented:

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the Company’s net periodic benefit (income) cost of the Company’s U.S. and International pension plans during the respective years:
| U.S. Plans | International Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | 2020 | 2019 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Effective December 31, 2015, the Company adopted the "full yield curve" method as an alternative approach to calculating the service and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company's pension and other post-retirement benefits. Under the "full yield curve" method, the discount rate assumption was built through the application of specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows for each of the Company's pension and other post-retirement plans. Prior to December 31, 2015, the Company estimated the service and interest cost components utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. The change did not affect the measurement of the Company's total projected benefit obligations, as the change in service and interest costs was exactly offset in the actuarial loss (gain) recognized for each year. The Company made this change to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot yield curve rates. The change to the "full yield curve" method was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that was inseparable from a change in accounting principle, and accordingly, was accounted for prospectively.
In selecting its expected long-term rate of return on its pension plan assets, the Company considers a number of factors, including, without limitation, recent and historical performance of pension plan assets, the pension plan portfolios' asset allocations over a variety of time periods compared with third-party studies, the performance of the capital markets in recent years and other factors, as well as advice from various third parties, such as the pension plans' advisors, investment managers and actuaries. While the Company considered both the recent performance and the historical performance of pension plan assets, the Company’s assumptions are based primarily on its estimates of long-term, prospective rates of return. Using the aforementioned methodologies, the Company selected a 5.50% and 3.39% weighted-average long-term rate of return on plan
F-56

assets assumption during 2020 for the U.S. and International pension plans, respectively. Differences between actual and expected asset returns are recognized in the net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service period of the active participating employees.
The rate of future compensation increases is an assumption used by the actuarial consultants for pension accounting and is determined based on the Company’s current expectation for such increases.
Investment Policy:
The Investment Committee for the Company's U.S. pension plans (the "Investment Committee") has adopted (and revises from time-to-time) an investment policy for the Company's U.S. pension plans with the objective of realizing a long-term rate of return on pension plan assets that meets or exceeds, over time, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption, weighed against a reasonable risk level. In connection with this objective, the Investment Committee retains a professional investment advisor who recommends investment managers that invest plan assets in the following asset classes: common and preferred stock, mutual funds, fixed income securities, common and collective funds, hedge funds, group annuity contracts and cash and other investments. The Company’s International plans follow a similar methodology in conjunction with local actuarial consultants and asset managers.
The investment policy adopted by the Investment Committee provides for investments in a broad range of publicly-traded securities, among other things. The investments are in domestic and international stocks, ranging from small to large capitalization stocks, debt securities ranging from domestic and international treasury issues, corporate debt securities, mortgages and asset-backed issues. Other investments may include cash and cash equivalents and hedge funds. The investment policy also allows for investments in private equity funds that are not covered in investments described above, provided that the Investment Committee approves any such investments prior to their selection. Also, global balanced strategies are utilized to provide for investments in a broad range of publicly-traded stocks and bonds in both domestic and international markets, as described above. In addition, the global balanced strategies can include commodities, provided that the Investment Committee approves any such investments prior to their selection.
The Investment Committee’s investment policy does not allow the use of derivatives for speculative purposes, but such policy does allow its investment managers to use derivatives for the purpose of reducing risk exposures or to replicate exposures of a particular asset class.
The Company’s U.S. and International pension plans have target asset allocation ranges that are intended to be flexible guidelines for allocating the plans’ assets among various classes of assets. These target ranges are reviewed periodically and considered for readjustment when an asset class weighting is outside of its target range (recognizing that these are flexible target ranges that may vary from time-to-time) with the objective of meeting or exceeding the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption, weighed against a reasonable risk level. The target ranges per asset class in effect for 2020 were as follows:
| Target Ranges | ||||||||||||||
| U.S. Plans | International Plans | |||||||||||||
| Asset Class: | ||||||||||||||
| Common and preferred stock | 0% - 10% | — | ||||||||||||

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The Company determines the fair values of the Company’s U.S. and International pension plan assets as follows:
•Common and preferred stock: The fair values of the investments included in the common and preferred stock asset class generally reflect the closing price reported on the major market where the individual securities are traded. The Plan classifies common and preferred stock investments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
•Mutual funds: The fair values of the investments included in the mutual funds asset class are determined using net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the administrator of the funds. The NAV is based on the closing price reported on the major market where the individual securities within the mutual fund are traded. The Company classifies mutual fund investments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
•Fixed income securities: The fair values of the investments included in the fixed income securities asset class are based on a compilation of primarily observable market information and/or broker quotes. The Company classifies fixed income securities investments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
•Common and collective funds: The fair values of the investments included in the common and collective funds asset class are determined using NAV provided by the administrator of the funds. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the common and collective fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The redemption frequencies for the investments in the common and collective funds asset class range from daily to monthly, with redemption notice periods that range from 2 to 10 business days. The Company classifies common and collective fund investments within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, depending on whether certain criteria are met. Some common and collective funds for which fair value is not readily determinable are recorded using NAV per share or its equivalent, as permitted by the practical expedient, provided by ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset per Share (or Its Equivalent) (the “ASU No. 2015-07 practical expedient”). These investments are not assigned a fair value hierarchy level.
•Hedge funds: The hedge funds asset class includes hedge funds that primarily invest in a grouping of equities, fixed income instruments, currencies, derivatives and/or commodities. The fair values of investments included in the hedge funds class are determined using NAV provided by the administrator of the funds. The hedge fund investments in the hedge funds asset class may employ leverage, generally can be sold on a quarterly or monthly basis and have redemption notice periods that range up to 90 business days. Hedge fund investments are generally recorded using NAV per share or its equivalent, as permitted by the ASU No. 2015-07 practical expedient, and are not assigned a fair value hierarchy level.
•Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are measured at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company classifies cash and cash equivalents within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Contributions:
The Company’s intent is to fund at least the minimum contributions required to meet applicable federal employee benefit laws and local laws, or to directly pay benefit payments where appropriate. During the year ended December 31, 2020, $9.1 million and $0.7 million were contributed to the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans, respectively. During 2021, the Company expects to contribute approximately $29 million in the aggregate to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.
As a result of the CARES Act passed by the U.S. Congress in March 2020 to address the economic environment resulting from COVID-19, and in accordance with the Limited Relief for Pension Funding and Retirement Plan Distributions provision of such act, the Company deferred to 2021 approximately $11.8 million of contributions that were otherwise scheduled to be paid to its two qualified pension plans at different earlier dates during 2020. The deferral was in effect only for 2020 and under the CARES relief provisions the Company was required to pay the contributions by no later than January 4, 2021, including interest at the plans’ 2020 effective interest rate ("EIR") from the original due date to the actual payment date. The Company paid the contributions by the due date. The first quarterly contributions for the two qualified plans were originally due by April 15, 2020. The Company had already made $1.6 million in contributions to its qualified pension plans during the first quarter of 2020, prior to adopting the aforementioned provision of the CARES Act.
12. STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Revlon maintains the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan (as amended, the "Stock Plan"), which provides for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to eligible employees and directors of Revlon and its affiliates, including Products Corporation. An aggregate of 6,565,000 shares were reserved for issuance as Awards under the Stock Plan, of which there remained approximately 1.7 million shares available for grant as of December 31, 2020. In July 2014, the Stock Plan was amended to renew the Stock Plan for a 7-year renewal term expiring on April 14, 2021. In September 2019 the Stock Plan was amended in connection with the 2019 TIP, described below, to: (1) allow the Compensation Committee to delegate to Revlon’s Chief Executive Officer the authority to grant RSUs to the Company’s employees, other than its officers who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (i.e., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer & Controller); (2) allow for accelerated vesting of equity awards upon a termination without cause; (3) change the minimum vesting period for specified equity awards from 3 years to 2 years; and (4) to increase by 250,000 shares the number of shares of Revlon common stock that are not subject to the Stock Plan’s minimum vesting requirements.
Stock options:
Non-qualified stock options granted under the Stock Plan, if granted, are granted at prices that equal or exceed the fair market value of Class A Common Stock on the grant date and have a term of 7 years. Option grants generally vest over service periods that range from 1 year to 4 years.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no options exercisable under the Stock Plan and there was no stock option activity for 2020 and 2019.

(a) The 2019 grants include 67,214 restricted stock awards and 1,096,324 RSUs, the latter granted pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Program and the 2019 Transaction Incentive Program under the Stock Plan, as discussed below. The 2020 grants include nil restricted stock awards and 1,065,319 RSUs, the latter granted pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Program and the 2019 Transaction Incentive Program under the Stock Plan, as discussed below.
(b) Of the amounts that vested during 2020 and 2019, 148,620 and 92,260 shares, respectively, were withheld by the Company to satisfy certain grantees’ minimum withholding tax requirements, which withheld shares became Revlon treasury stock and are not sold on the open market. (See discussion under "Treasury Stock" in Note 15, "Stockholders' Deficiency").
The Company recognizes non-cash compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and RSUs under the Stock Plan using the straight-line method over the remaining service period. The Company recorded compensation expense under the Stock Plan of $10.4 million and $8.1 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2020 total compensation expense consisted of $1.8 million related to restricted stock awards and $1.1 million and $7.5 million related to the Revlon 2019 Transaction Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Program, respectively, discussed below. The total fair value of restricted stock and RSUs that vested during 2020 and 2019 was $10.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The deferred stock-based compensation balance related to restricted stock awards was $25.3 million at December 31, 2020. Of this balance, $1.7 million related to restricted stock awards and $23.6 million related to RSUs granted under the Revlon 2019 Transaction Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Program, and they will be amortized ratably to compensation expense over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.39 years.
The Stock Plan allows for awards of restricted stock and RSUs to employees and directors of Revlon and its affiliates, including Products Corporation. The restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan vest over service periods that generally range from 2 years to 5 years. The Company granted no shares of restricted stock to any executives during 2020. The Company granted 67,214 shares of restricted stock to certain executives during 2019, which vest ratably over a 3-year period, with the first tranche of such grants having vested in January 2020.
Revlon 2019 Transaction Incentive Program
In August 2019, it was disclosed that MacAndrews & Forbes and Revlon determined to explore strategic transactions involving Revlon and third parties (the "Strategic Review"). In light of this, the Compensation Committee of Revlon’s Board of Directors approved a Revlon 2019 Transaction Incentive Program (the “2019 TIP”) that enables the Company to award cash-based and RSU-based retention grants and transaction bonus awards, as well as providing for the accelerated vesting of time-based RSUs and restricted shares following a termination without cause or due to death or disability.
Each Tier 1 participant’s 2019 TIP award is payable two-thirds in cash and one-third in RSUs vesting in 50% tranches on each of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, while Tier 2 awards are payable 100% in cash in one lump-sum on December 31, 2020, in each case subject to certain earlier vesting for a change of control or termination of employment without cause, as described below. As of September 5, 2019, the Company approved a total of 206,812 time-based RSUs under Tier 1 of the 2019 TIP, which are scheduled to vest in equivalent amounts on each of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, subject to continued employment (the “2019 TIP RSUs”). As of December 31, 2020, a total of 58,773 time-based RSUs under Tier 1 of the 2019 TIP had been granted and are outstanding. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer declined an award under the retention program and will receive a transaction bonus only if the Company completes a transaction.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The 2019 TIP RSUs vest in full upon an involuntary termination, other than if due to cause; provided that if a change of control occurs or a brand or business segment is sold and (i) the impacted grantee accepts an offer of employment from the buyer, then: (A) if the buyer assumes the 2019 TIP RSUs, the grantee will continue to vest in the assumed awards (with the grantee having the continued right to accelerated vesting upon an involuntary termination, other than if due to cause); and (B) if the buyer does not assume the 2019 TIP RSUs, the grantee’s 2019 TIP RSUs will vest upon closing the change of control; and (ii) the impacted grantee declines an offer of employment from the buyer for substantially comparable total compensation and benefits, the grantee will forfeit their unvested 2019 TIP RSUs (collectively, the “Special Vesting Rules”).
The 2019 TIP also provides for the following cash-based awards payable to certain employees, subject to continued employment through the respective vesting dates: (i) Tier 1 - $6.8 million payable in two equal installments as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021; and (ii) Tier 2 - $2.5 million payable in one installment as of December 31, 2020. Such cash-based awards follow the Special Vesting Rules following a termination without cause or due to death or disability. During 2019 and through December 31, 2020, the Company granted $3.9 million and $2.1 million cash-based awards, net of forfeitures, under Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the 2019 TIP, respectively, which are being amortized over the period from the grant dates to December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The total amount amortized for these cash-based awards since the program's inception and through December 31, 2020 is approximately $5.4 million, of which $4.1 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020, within "Acquisition, integration and divestiture costs" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Long-Term Incentive Program
The Company's LTIP RSUs consist of time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs. Time-based RSUs are generally scheduled to vest ratably over a 3-year service period, while performance-based RSUs are scheduled to vest based on the achievement of certain Company performance metrics and cliff-vest at the completion of a 3-year performance period.
The fair value of the LTIP and TIP RSUs is determined based on the NYSE closing share price on the grant date.
In connection with the announcement of the 2019 TIP, in August 2019 the Company also approved applying the Special Vesting Rules to outstanding, pre-existing LTIP RSUs, except that accelerated vesting in the case of termination of employment without cause will apply only to any tranche of outstanding, pre-existing LTIP RSUs scheduled to vest in the 12-month period following termination, with any future tranches being forfeited. Prior to the approval of these Special Vesting Rules, while the outstanding, pre-existing LTIP RSUs would generally have accelerated vesting upon a change of control, they did not feature accelerated vesting for termination and, in such cases, they were entirely forfeited upon termination.
During 2020, the Company granted approximately 1.1 million time-based and performance-based RSU awards under the Stock Plan (the "2020 LTIP RSUs") to certain employees. See the roll-forward table in the following sections of this Note 12 for activity related to the year ended December 31, 2020.
Acceleration of Vesting
Under the aforementioned provisions for acceleration of vesting, as of December 31, 2020 and since the time these provisions became effective in September 2019, 49,642 LTIP RSUs and 41,203 2019 TIP Tier 1 RSUs were vested on an accelerated basis due to involuntary terminations, resulting in accelerated amortization of approximately $1.7 million. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and under the same accelerated vesting provisions, the Company also recorded approximately $1.6 million of accelerated amortization in connection with the cash portion of the 2019 TIP Tier 1 and Tier 2 awards that were vested on an accelerated basis due to involuntary terminations. See the roll-forward table in the following sections of this Note 12 for activity related to the year ended December 31, 2020.

Time-Based LTIP and TIP RSUs
The Company recognized $7.2 million of net compensation expense related to the time-based LTIP and TIP RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company recognized $1.3 million of net compensation expense related to the performance-based LTIP RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The amount of net compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 was affected by adjustments to the awards' expected achievement rates made primarily as a result of the ongoing adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company's results of operations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $15.1 million of total deferred compensation expense related to non-vested, performance-based LTIP RSUs.

The Company's provision for income taxes represents federal, foreign, state and local income taxes. The Company’s tax provision changes quarterly based on various factors including, but not limited to, the geographical level and mix of earnings; enacted tax legislation; foreign, state and local income taxes; tax audit settlements; and the interaction of various global tax strategies.

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $158.8 million (Products Corporation - provision for income taxes of $140.5 million) for the year ended December 31, 2020 and a provision for income taxes of $0.2 million (Products Corporation - provision for income taxes of $1.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The $158.6 million increase (Products Corporation - $138.9 million) in the provision from income taxes in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily due to: (i) the increase in the valuation allowance recorded on net federal deferred tax assets, (ii) the mix and level of earnings; and (iii) non-deductible impairment charges for which no tax benefit is recognized.
The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance recorded on the net federal deferred tax assets and the impact of non-deductible impairment charges, partially offset by the impact of the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act" (the "CARES Act"), signed into law on March 27, 2020 by President Trump, which resulted in a partial release of a valuation allowance on the Company's 2019 federal tax attributes associated with the limitation on the deductibility of interest.
The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions providing for refundable payroll tax credits, the deferral of employer social security tax payments, acceleration of alternative minimum tax credit refunds and the increase of the net interest deduction limitation from 30% to 50%. The Company has adopted the net interest deduction limitation of 50% for the taxable period ending December 31, 2020 as outlined in the CARES Act.
The Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the valuation allowance related to the limitation on the deductibility of interest and the U.S. tax on the Company's foreign earnings.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company is indefinitely reinvested in the accumulated undistributed earnings of all of its foreign subsidiaries. If earnings are repatriated, any excess of financial reporting over tax basis could be subject to federal, state and foreign withholding taxes. At this time, the determination of deferred tax liabilities on the amount of financial reporting over tax basis is not practicable.
The actual tax on income before income taxes is reconciled to the applicable statutory federal income tax rate in the following table:

(a) Net operating loss carryforwards - U.S. for Products Corporation as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $158.9 million and $146.1 million, respectively.
In assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, the Company continually evaluates all available positive and negative evidence to assess the amount of deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not to realize a benefit. For any deferred tax asset in excess of the amount for which it is more likely than not that the Company will realize a benefit, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is a non-cash charge, and it in no way limits the Company's ability to utilize its deferred tax assets, including its ability to utilize tax loss and credit carryforward amounts.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that, based on its evaluation of objectively verifiable evidence, it is no longer more likely than not that its net federal deferred tax assets are recoverable. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the key assumptions used to determine positive and negative evidence included the Company’s cumulative taxable loss for the past three years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, the Company's cost reduction initiatives and efficiency efforts, as well as the ongoing and prolonged impact COVID-19 pandemic on the Company. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $189.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 as a reserve against its net federal deferred tax assets. .
A valuation allowance has been provided for those deferred tax assets for which, in the opinion of the Company's management, it was more likely than not that a benefit will not be realized. At December 31, 2020, the deferred tax valuation allowance primarily represented amounts for its net U.S. federal deferred tax assets for which the Company has determined it is more likely than not they will not be recoverable, foreign jurisdictions where, as of the end of 2020, the Company had a three-year cumulative loss, and for certain U.S. state jurisdictions where the Company had tax loss carryforwards and other tax attributes which may expire prior to being utilized. The deferred tax valuation allowance increased by $206.1 million and decreased by $2.4 million during 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance during 2020 was primarily associated with the assessment of the realizability of the federal deferred tax assets for which the Company has determined it is more likely than not that it will not receive a benefit. The decrease in the deferred tax valuation allowance during 2019 was primarily associated with the write-off of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets no longer available and a release in foreign valuation allowance no longer required, offset by valuation allowances required on interest deduction

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had domestic (federal) and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $969.3 million, of which $277.1 million are foreign and $692.2 million are domestic (federal). These losses expire in future years as follows: 2021- $2.5 million; 2022- $1.9 million; 2023 and beyond- $642.9 million; and no expiration- $321.9 million. The Company also has certain state net operating loss carryforwards that expire between 2021 and 2039. The Company could receive the benefit of such tax loss carryforwards only to the extent it has taxable income during the carryforward periods in the applicable tax jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2020, there were no consolidated federal net operating losses available from the MacAndrews & Forbes Group (as hereinafter defined) from periods prior to the March 25, 2004 deconsolidation (as described below). The Company has acquired entities that had carryforward balances for tax losses, tax credits and other tax attributes at the time of the acquisition. U.S. federal and certain state and foreign jurisdictions impose limitations on the amount of these tax losses, tax credits and other carryforward balances that may be utilized after an acquisition. The Company has evaluated the impact of these limitations and has established a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that the Company expects will be realized.
The Company remains subject to examination of its income tax returns in various jurisdictions, including: the U.S. (federal) for the tax years ended December 31, 2017 and forward; Spain for the tax years ended December 31, 2014 and forward; Canada for the tax years ended December 31, 2013 and forward; Australia for the tax years ended December 31, 2016 and forward; Switzerland for the tax years ended June 30, 2015 and forward; Japan for the tax years ended December 31, 2015 and forward; and the U.K. for the tax years ended December 31, 2017 and forward.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $84.4 million and $78.0 million, respectively, including $15.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties. Of the $84.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020, $53.5 million would affect the Company's effective tax rate, if recognized, and the remaining $30.9 million would affect the Company's deferred tax accounts. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income an expense of $3.9 million and $1.9 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of the unrecognized tax benefits is provided in the following table:
| Tax | Interest and Penalties | Total | |||||||||||||||
| Balance at January 1, 2019 | $ | 64.9 | $ | 9.8 | 74.7 | ||||||||||||

| Balance at December 31, 2020 | $ | 68.8 | $ | 15.6 | $ | 84.4 | |||||||||||
In addition, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in 2021 by approximately $3.6 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitation.
As a result of the closing of the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions (as hereinafter defined in Note 19, "Related Party Transactions - Tax Sharing Agreements"), as of March 25, 2004, Revlon, Products Corporation and their U.S. subsidiaries were no longer included in the affiliated group of which MacAndrews & Forbes was the common parent (the "MacAndrews & Forbes Group") for federal income tax purposes. Revlon Holdings (as hereinafter defined in Note 19, "Related Party Transactions - Transfer Agreements"), Revlon, Products Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, and MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated entered into a tax sharing agreement (as subsequently amended and restated, the "MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement"), for taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1992 through and including March 25, 2004, during which Revlon and Products Corporation or a subsidiary of Products Corporation was a member of the MacAndrews & Forbes Group. In these taxable periods, Revlon's and Products Corporation's federal taxable income and loss were included in such
F-68
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
group's consolidated tax return filed by MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated. During such period, Revlon and Products Corporation were also included in certain state and local tax returns of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated or its subsidiaries. Revlon and Products Corporation remain liable under the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement for all such taxable periods through and including March 25, 2004 for amounts determined to be due as a result of a redetermination arising from an audit or otherwise, equal to the taxes that Revlon or Products Corporation would otherwise have had to pay if it were to have filed separate federal, state or local income tax returns for such periods.
MacAndrews & Forbes’ current ownership does not require the Company to file a U.S. federal consolidated tax return with them. However, in certain U.S. states and in certain local and foreign jurisdictions the Company is required to file consolidated, combined, unitary or similar returns. The liability for these state, local and foreign liabilities is also governed by the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement. The Company accounts for its tax liabilities in these jurisdictions as if it were a separate filer, and the Company's tax accounts are presented as if it were a separate filer. During 2020, the Company's cash tax payments included $0.1 million of payments made to MacAndrews & Forbes in connection with these filings, and the Company's ending tax asset, which is a component of prepaid and other current assets, includes an insignificant amount related to future payments to be received from MacAndrews & Forbes in connection with these filings.
Following the closing of the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon became the parent of a new consolidated group for federal income tax purposes and Products Corporation's federal taxable income and loss are included in such group's consolidated tax returns. Accordingly, Revlon and Products Corporation entered into a tax sharing agreement (the "Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement") pursuant to which Products Corporation is required to pay to Revlon amounts equal to the taxes that Products Corporation would otherwise have had to pay if Products Corporation were to file separate federal, state or local income tax returns, limited to the amount, and payable only at such times, as Revlon will be required to make payments to the applicable taxing authorities.

16. SEGMENT DATA AND RELATED INFORMATION
Operating Segments
Operating segments include components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Company's "Chief Executive Officer") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the Company's performance. As a result of the similarities in the procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes for the Company’s products, much of the information provided in the Consolidated Financial Statements and provided in the segment table below is similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s operations are organized into the following reportable segments:
•Revlon - The Revlon segment is comprised of the Company's flagship Revlon brands. Revlon segment products are primarily marketed, distributed and sold in the mass retail channel, large volume retailers, chain drug and food stores, chemist shops, hypermarkets, general merchandise stores, e-commerce sites, television shopping, department stores, professional hair and nail salons, one-stop shopping beauty retailers and specialty cosmetic stores in the U.S. and internationally under brands such as Revlon in color cosmetics; Revlon ColorSilk and Revlon Professional in hair color; and Revlon in beauty tools.
•Elizabeth Arden - The Elizabeth Arden segment is comprised of the Company's Elizabeth Arden branded products. The Elizabeth Arden segment markets, distributes and sells fragrances, skin care and color cosmetics primarily to prestige retailers, department and specialty stores, perfumeries, boutiques, e-commerce sites, the mass retail channel, travel retailers and distributors, as well as direct sales to consumers via its Elizabeth Arden branded retail stores and elizabetharden.com e-commerce website, in the U.S. and internationally, under brands such as Elizabeth Arden Ceramide, Prevage, Eight Hour, SUPERSTART, Visible Difference and Skin Illuminating in the Elizabeth Arden skin care brands; and Elizabeth Arden White Tea, Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea in Elizabeth Arden fragrances.
•Portfolio - The Company’s Portfolio segment markets, distributes and sells a comprehensive line of premium, specialty and mass products primarily to the mass retail channel, hair and nail salons and professional salon distributors in the U.S. and internationally and large volume retailers, specialty and department stores under brands such as Almay and SinfulColors in color cosmetics; American Crew in men's grooming products (which are also sold direct-to-consumer on its americancrew.com website); CND in nail polishes, gel nail color and nail enhancements; Cutex nail care products; and Mitchum in anti-perspirant deodorants. The Portfolio segment also includes a multi-cultural hair care line consisting of Creme of Nature hair care products, which are sold in both professional salons and in large volume retailers and other retailers, primarily in the U.S.; and a hair color line under the Llongueras brand (licensed from a third party) that is sold in the mass retail channel, large volume retailers and other retailers, primarily in Spain.
•Fragrances - The Fragrances segment includes the development, marketing and distribution of certain owned and licensed fragrances as well as the distribution of prestige fragrance brands owned by third parties. These products are typically sold to retailers in the U.S. and internationally, including prestige retailers, specialty stores, e-commerce sites, the mass retail channel, travel retailers and other international retailers. The owned and licensed fragrances include brands such as: (i) Juicy Couture (which are also sold direct-to-consumer on its juicycouturebeauty.com website), John Varvatos and AllSaints in prestige fragrances; (ii) Britney Spears, Elizabeth Taylor, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Aniston and Mariah Carey in celebrity fragrances; and (iii) Curve, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Ed Hardy, Charlie, Lucky Brand, ‹PS› (logo of former Paul Sebastian brand), Alfred Sung, Halston, Geoffrey Beene and White Diamonds in mass fragrances.
The Company's management evaluates segment profit for each of the Company's reportable segments. The Company allocates corporate expenses to each reportable segment to arrive at segment profit, and these expenses are included in the internal measure of segment operating performance. The Company defines segment profit as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses. Segment profit also excludes the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments' underlying operating performance. Such items are shown below in the table reconciling segment profit to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales.
The accounting policies for each of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." The Company's assets and liabilities are managed centrally and
F-71
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
are reported internally in the same manner as the Consolidated Financial Statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments is produced for the Company's Chief Executive Officer or included in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following table is a comparative summary of the Company’s net sales and segment profit for Revlon and Products Corporation by reportable segment for the periods presented.

17. REVLON, INC. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Shares used in calculating Revlon's basic loss per share are computed using the weighted-average number of Revlon's shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during each period. Shares used in diluted loss per share include the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock, LTIP RSUs and TIP RSUs under the Company’s Stock Plan using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, Revlon's diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share, as the assumed vesting of restricted stock, LTIP RSUs and TIP RSUs would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no outstanding stock options under the Company's Stock Plan. See Note 12, "Stock Compensation Plan," for information on the LTIP and TIP RSUs.

18. CONTINGENCIES
On August 12, 2020, UMB Bank, National Association (“UMB”), purporting to act as successor agent under the Term Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2016 (as amended as of May 7, 2020 and as otherwise amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2016 Credit Agreement”), filed a lawsuit, captioned UMB Bank, National Association v. Revlon, Inc. et al., against Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation, several of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries, and several of Products Corporation’s contractual counterparties, including Citibank, Jefferies Finance LLC, Jefferies LLC, and Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund V, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleged various claims, including breach of contract and fraudulent transfers, stemming from alleged breaches of the 2016 Credit Agreement arising from certain other financing transactions entered into by the Company. The Complaint was never served on any defendant, and on November 6, 2020, having failed to serve the lawsuit on any defendant or make any effort to pursue the case, UMB Bank dismissed the case without prejudice to its right to refile it at a later date.

The Company is also involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period.
19. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 2020, MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owned approximately 86.7% of Revlon's Class A Common Stock, which at such date was Revlon's only class of capital stock outstanding. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to elect Revlon’s entire Board of Directors and control the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of Revlon's stockholders. MacAndrews & Forbes is beneficially owned by Ronald O. Perelman. Mr. Perelman is Chairman of Revlon’s and Product Corporation's Board of Directors.
5.75% Senior Notes Exchange Offer
MacAndrews & Forbes tendered approximately $15.5 million of 5.75% Senior Notes into the Exchange Offer and, in exchange, received the Mixed Consideration as described herein, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer. Additionally, MacAndrews & Forbes acquired the rights to the Mixed Consideration to be received by certain holders in the Exchange Offer. Subsequently, MacAndrews & Forbes sold its interest in the ABL FILO Term Loans and the New BrandCo Second-Lien Term Loans in the open market, according to disclosures by MacAndrews & Forbes in Amendment No. 15 to their Schedule 13D.
Transfer and Reimbursement Agreements
Revlon, Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes have entered into reimbursement agreements (the "Reimbursement Agreements") pursuant to which: (i) MacAndrews & Forbes is obligated to provide (directly or through its affiliates) certain professional and administrative services, including, without limitation, employees, to the Company, and to purchase services from third-party providers, such as insurance, legal, accounting and air transportation services, on behalf of the Company, to the extent requested by Products Corporation; and (ii) Products Corporation is obligated to provide certain professional and administrative services, including, without limitation, employees, to MacAndrews & Forbes and to purchase services from third-party providers, such as insurance, legal and accounting services, on behalf of MacAndrews & Forbes, to the extent requested by MacAndrews & Forbes, provided that in each case the performance of such services does not cause an unreasonable burden to MacAndrews & Forbes or Products Corporation, as the case may be.
The Company reimburses MacAndrews & Forbes for the allocable costs of the services that MacAndrews & Forbes purchases for or provides to the Company and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that MacAndrews & Forbes incurs in connection with the provision of such services. MacAndrews & Forbes reimburses Products Corporation for the allocable costs of the services that Products Corporation purchases for or provides to MacAndrews & Forbes and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Products Corporation in connection with the purchase or provision of such services. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and MacAndrews & Forbes, on the other, has agreed to indemnify the other party for losses arising out of the services provided by it under the Reimbursement Agreements, other than losses resulting from its willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Reimbursement Agreements may be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice. The Company does not intend to request services under the Reimbursement Agreements unless their costs would be at least as favorable to the Company as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
The Company participates in MacAndrews & Forbes' directors and officers liability insurance program (the "D&O Insurance Program"), as well as its other insurance coverages, such as property damage, business interruption, liability and other coverages, which cover the Company, as well as MacAndrews & Forbes and its subsidiaries. The limits of coverage for certain of the policies are available on an aggregate basis for losses to any or all of the participating companies and their respective directors and officers. The Company reimburses MacAndrews & Forbes from time-to-time for their allocable portion of the premiums for such coverage or the Company pays the insurers directly, which premiums the Company believes are more favorable than the premiums that the Company would pay were it to secure stand-alone coverage. Any amounts paid by the Company directly to MacAndrews & Forbes in respect of premiums are included in the amounts paid under the Reimbursement

Agreements. To ensure the availability of directors and officers liability insurance coverage through January 2023, the Company and MacAndrews & Forbes agreed to collectively make payments under MacAndrews & Forbes’ D&O Insurance Program. In furtherance of such arrangement, during 2020, the Company made payments of approximately $5.3 million to MacAndrews & Forbes under the Reimbursement Agreements. Consequently, as of December 31, 2020, the Company has no balance outstanding in respect of its participation in the D&O Insurance Program.
In June 1992, Revlon and Products Corporation entered into an asset transfer agreement (“Transfer Agreement”) with Revlon Holdings Inc. ("Revlon Holdings"), which is an affiliate of MacAndrews & Forbes. Revlon Holdings transferred certain assets to Revlon and Products Corporation and Revlon and Products Corporation assumed all of the liabilities of Revlon Holdings, other than certain specifically excluded assets and liabilities.
The net activity related to services purchased under the Transfer and Reimbursement Agreements during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.8 million income and $0.5 million expense, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a receivable balance of $0.1 million from, and a payable balance of $0.2 million to, MacAndrews & Forbes, respectively, were included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet for transactions subject to the Transfer and Reimbursement Agreements.
Tax Sharing Agreements
As a result of a debt-for-equity exchange transaction completed in March 2004 (the "2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions"), as of March 25, 2004, Revlon, Products Corporation and their U.S. subsidiaries were no longer included in the MacAndrews & Forbes Group for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See Note 13, "Income Taxes," for further discussion on these agreements and related transactions in 2020 and 2019.
Registration Rights Agreement
Prior to the consummation of Revlon's initial public equity offering in February 1996, Revlon and Revlon Worldwide Corporation (which subsequently merged into REV Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes ("REV Holdings")), the then direct parent of Revlon entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). In February 2003, MacAndrews & Forbes executed a joinder agreement to the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which REV Holdings, MacAndrews & Forbes and certain transferees of Revlon's Common Stock held by REV Holdings (the "Holders") have the right to require Revlon to register under the Securities Act all or part of the Class A Common Stock owned by such Holders, including, without limitation, the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by MacAndrews & Forbes in connection with Revlon's 2003 $50.0 million equity rights offering and the shares of Class A Common Stock which were issued to REV Holdings upon its conversion of all 3,125,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock in October 2013 (a "Demand Registration"). In connection with closing the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions and pursuant to the 2004 Investment Agreement, MacAndrews & Forbes executed a joinder agreement that provided that MacAndrews & Forbes would also be a Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement and that all shares acquired by MacAndrews & Forbes pursuant to the 2004 Investment Agreement are deemed to be registrable securities under the Registration Rights Agreement. This included all of the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by MacAndrews & Forbes in connection with Revlon’s March 2006 $110 million rights offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock and related private placement to MacAndrews & Forbes, and Revlon’s January 2007 $100 million rights offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock and related private placement to MacAndrews & Forbes. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in 2009 Revlon registered under the Securities Act all 9,336,905 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to MacAndrews & Forbes in the 2009 Exchange Offer, in which, among other things, Revlon issued to MacAndrews & Forbes shares of Class A Common Stock at a ratio of one share of Class A Common Stock for each $5.21 of outstanding principal amount of the then-outstanding Senior Subordinated Term Loan that MacAndrews & Forbes contributed to Revlon.
Revlon may postpone giving effect to a Demand Registration for a period of up to 30 days if Revlon believes such registration might have a material adverse effect on any plan or proposal by Revlon with respect to any financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, or if Revlon is in possession of material non-public information that, if publicly disclosed, could result in a material disruption of a major corporate development or transaction then pending or in progress or could result in other material adverse consequences to Revlon. In addition, the Holders have the right to participate in registrations by Revlon of its Class A Common Stock (a "Piggyback Registration"). The Holders will pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration. Revlon will pay any expenses incurred in connection with a Piggyback Registration, except for underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses attributable to the shares of Class A Common Stock sold by such Holders.

2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility
See Note 8, "Debt," regarding the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility between Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes Group, LLC.
Other
Certain of Products Corporation’s debt obligations, including the 2016 Credit Agreements and Products Corporation's Senior Notes, have been, and may in the future be, supported by, among other things, guarantees from all of Products Corporation's domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain limited exceptions) and, for the 2016 Credit Agreements, guarantees from Revlon. The obligations under such guarantees are secured by, among other things, all of the capital stock of Products Corporation and, its domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain limited exceptions) and 66% of the capital stock of Products Corporation's and its domestic subsidiaries' first-tier foreign subsidiaries. See Note 8, "Debt," for a discussion of the terms of the 2016 Credit Agreements and Senior Notes.
During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company engaged several companies in which MacAndrews & Forbes had a controlling interest to provide the Company with various ordinary course business services. These services included processing approximately $32.6 million and $55.1 million of coupon redemptions for the Company's retail customers for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for which the Company incurred fees of approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and other similar advertising, coupon redemption and raw material supply services, for which the Company had net payables aggregating to approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a payable balance of approximately $0.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, were included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet for the aforementioned coupon redemption services. The Company believes that its engagement of each of these affiliates was on arm's length terms, taking into account each firm's expertise in its respective field, and that the fees paid or received were at least as favorable as those available from unaffiliated parties.
As previously disclosed by the Company, the Company took several organizational measures in response to COVID-19 in 2020, including instituting salary reductions for members of the Company’s Executive Leadership Team. Also, as previously disclosed by the Company, in the third quarter, the salary reductions for members of the Company’s Executive Leadership Team were partially adjusted.
Also in connection with such COVID-19 organizational measures, in March 2020, the Company agreed in writing with each of Ms. Mitra Hormozi and Mr. E. Scott Beattie, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, that, effective April 1, 2020, their provision of advisory services to the Company was suspended, and payment of their consulting fees was also suspended. In connection with Ms. Hormozi’s resignation from the Board in July 2020, the Company and Ms. Hormozi terminated her Consulting Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2019, as amended.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, prior to this suspension of services and payments, in March 2020, the Company and Mr. Beattie entered into an Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement (the “2020 Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which he was scheduled to serve as Senior Advisor to the Company’s CEO for an additional year, subject to automatic 1-year renewals, unless either party elects not to renew, and subject to certain standard termination rights, in consideration for which, the Company would pay Mr. Beattie a fee of $250,000 per year, supplemental to the Board’s compensation program for non-employee directors. The foregoing description of the 2020 Consulting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed with the SEC on March 12, 2020 together with the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K.
On January 1, 2021, the Company reinstated Mr. Beattie’s advisory services and payment of his consulting fees and extended the term of his 2020 Consulting Agreement to March 31, 2021.
On March 10, 2021, the Company and Mr. Beattie entered into an Amendment to the 2020 Consulting Agreement, effective April 1, 2021, pursuant to which he will continue to provide advisory services to the Company until April 1, 2022 (the “Term”). As compensation for Mr. Beattie’s advisory services during the Term, the Company shall grant him restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) equivalent in value to the fee set forth in the 2020 Consulting Agreement, which shall vest in accordance with the terms of the Amendment to the 2020 Consulting Agreement. The foregoing description of the Amendment to the 2020 Consulting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K as Exhibit 10.20.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility
On March 2, 2021 (the “2021 ABTL Closing Date”), Revlon Finance LLC (the “ABTL Borrower”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (“Products Corporation”), certain foreign subsidiaries of Products Corporation party thereto as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “ABTL Agent”), entered into an Asset-Based Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement”, and the term loan facility thereunder, the “2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility”).
Principal and Maturity: The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility provides for a U.S. dollar-denominated senior secured asset-based term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million, the full amount of which was funded on the closing of the facility. On the 2021 ABTL Closing Date, approximately $7.5 million of the proceeds of the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility were deposited in an escrow account by the ABTL Agent pending completion of certain post-closing perfection actions with respect to certain foreign real property of the guarantors constituting collateral securing the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility has an uncommitted incremental facility pursuant to which it may be increased from time to time by up to the amount of the borrowing base in effect at the time such incremental facility is incurred, subject to certain conditions and the agreement of the lenders providing such increase. The proceeds of the loans under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility were used (i) to repay in full the obligations under the Asset-Based Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2018, as amended, among the ABTL Borrower, the other subsidiaries of Products Corporation party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “ABTL Refinancing”), (ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility and the ABTL Refinancing and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility matures on March 2, 2024, subject to a springing maturity date of August 1, 2023 if, on such date, any principal amount of loans under the 2016 Term Loan Agreement due September 7, 2023 remain outstanding.
The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement requires the maintenance of a borrowing base supporting the borrowing thereunder, to be evidenced with the delivery of biweekly borrowing base certificates customary for facilities of this type, with more frequent reporting required upon the triggering of certain events. The borrowing base calculation under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is based on the sum of: (i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable; (ii) 65% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible finished goods inventory; and (iii) 45% of the mortgage value of eligible real property, in each case with respect to certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries organized in Australia, Bermuda, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland (the “ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantors”). The borrowing bases in each jurisdiction are subject to certain customary availability reserves set by the ABTL Agent.
Guarantees and Security: The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is guaranteed by the Borrowing Base Guarantors, as well as by the direct parent entities of each ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantor (not including Revlon, Inc. or Products Corporation) on a limited recourse basis (the “ABTL Parent Guarantors”) and by certain subsidiaries of Products Corporation organized in Mexico (the “ABTL Other Guarantors” and, together with the ABTL Borrower and the ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantors, the “ABTL Loan Parties”). The obligations of the ABTL Loan Parties and the ABTL Parent Guarantors under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility are secured by first-ranking pledges of the equity of each ABTL Loan Party (other than the Other Guarantors), the inventory and accounts receivable of the ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantors, the material bank accounts of each Loan Party, the material intercompany indebtedness owing to any Loan Party (including any intercompany loans made with the proceeds of the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility) and certain other material assets of the ABTL Borrowing Base Guarantors, subject to customary exceptions and exclusions. The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility includes a cash dominion feature customary for transactions of this type.
Interest and Fees: Interest is payable on each interest payment date as set forth in the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement, and in any event at least quarterly, and accrues on borrowings under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate, with a floor of 1.50%, plus an applicable margin equal to 8.50%. The ABTL Borrower is obligated to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility, including a fee payable to Blue Torch Finance LLC for its services as Agent. Loans under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility may be prepaid without premium or penalty, subject to a prepayment premium equal to 3.0% of the aggregate principal amount of loans prepaid or repaid during the first year after the 2021 ABTL Closing Date, 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount of loans prepaid or repaid during the second year after the 2021 ABTL Closing Date and 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of loans prepaid or repaid thereafter.

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Affirmative and Negative Covenants: The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the ABTL Loan Parties’ ability to, subject to various exceptions and qualifications: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) incur liens; (iii) sell, transfer or dispose of assets; (iv) make investments; (v) make dividends and distributions on, or repurchases of, equity; (vi) make prepayments of contractually subordinated or junior lien debt; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates, including amending certain material intercompany agreements or trade terms; (viii) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (ix) change their lines of business; (x) restrict dividends from their subsidiaries or restrict liens; (xi) change their fiscal year; and (xii) modify the terms of certain debt. The ABTL Parent Guarantors are subject to certain customary holding company covenants. The ability of the Loan Parties to make certain intercompany asset sales, investments, restricted payments and prepayments of intercompany debt is contingent on certain "cash movement conditions" or "payment conditions" being met, which among other things, require a certain level of liquidity for the applicable Loan Party to effect such type of transactions. The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement also contains a financial covenant requiring the ABTL Loan Parties to maintain a minimum average balance of cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 million, tested monthly, based on the last 10 business days of each month, subject to certain cure rights. The 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Agreement also contains certain customary representations, warranties and events of default.
Prepayments: The ABTL Borrower must prepay loans under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility to the extent that outstanding loans exceed the borrowing base. In lieu of a mandatory prepayment, the Loan Parties may deposit cash into a designated U.S. bank account with the ABTL Agent that is subject to a control agreement (such cash, the “Qualified Cash”). If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Qualified Cash may be applied, at the ABTL Agent’s option, to prepay the loans under the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility. If the borrowing base subsequently exceeds the outstanding loans, the ABTL Borrower can withdraw Qualified Cash from such bank account to the extent of such excess. In addition, the 2021 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds from the incurrence by the Loan Parties of debt not permitted thereunder.
As a result of the ABTL Refinancing and the closing of the 2021 Asset-Based Term Facility without the participation of M&F as a lender, M&F’s commitment in respect of the New European ABL FILO Facility under the 2020 Restated Line of Credit Facility terminated on the ABTL Closing Date in accordance with its terms (see “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement and 2018 Foreign Asset-Based Term Facility” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K and Note 8, “Debt,” to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K).
Amendment No. 7 to Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement
On March 8, 2021, Products Corporation entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 7”). Amendment No. 7, will, among other things, make certain amendments pursuant to which (i) the maturity date applicable to the “Tranche A” revolving loans under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement will be extended from September 7, 2021 to June 8, 2023, (ii) the commitments under the “Tranche A” revolving facility will be reduced from $400 million to $300 million and (iii) a new $100 million senior secured second-in, second-out term loan facility maturing June 8, 2023 (the “SISO Facility”) will be established and Products Corporation will borrow $100 million of term loans thereunder. The funding date of Amendment No. 7 is expected to occur on or about March 11, 2021. Except as to pricing, maturity, enforcement priority and certain voting rights, the terms of the SISO Facility are substantially consistent with the first-in, last-out “Tranche B” term loan facility under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Agreement, including as to guarantees and collateral.
Term loans under the SISO Facility will accrue interest at the LIBOR rate, subject to a floor of 1.75%, plus a margin of 5.75%. In addition, Amendment No. 7 will increase the interest rate margin applicable to the “Tranche A” revolving loans by 0.50% to a range of 2.50% to 3.0%, depending on average excess revolving availability. Products Corporation will pay certain customary fees to Citibank, N.A. and the lenders under the Amended 2016 Revolving Credit Facility in connection with Amendment No. 7.
Citibank Litigation
In the matter captioned In re Citibank August 11, 2020 Wire Transfers, No. 20-cv-06539-JMF (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 16, 2021) (the “Citi Decision”), the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York held that certain wire transfers mistakenly paid by Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) from its own funds on August 11, 2020 to holders of term loans issued to Revlon under a Term Credit Agreement dated as of September 7, 2016 (as amended, the “2016 Facility”) were final and complete transactions not subject to revocation. The wire payments at issue were made to all lenders under the 2016 Facility in amounts equaling the principal and interest outstanding on the loans at that time. Certain lenders that received the payments returned the

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
funds soon after the mistaken transfer, but holders of approximately $504 million did not, and as a result of the Citi Decision those lenders are entitled to keep the funds in discharge of their debt.
Citi has appealed the Citi Decision. Citi has also asserted subrogation rights, but, as yet, there has been no determination of those rights (if any) under the 2016 Facility and Revlon has not taken a position on this issue. In these circumstances, it is the current intention of the Company to continue to make the scheduled payments under the 2016 Facility as if the full amount of the 2016 Facility remains outstanding.
