Item 1. Business
Background
Revlon, Inc. (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, Inc. is a direct and indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated (together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, "MacAndrews & Forbes"), a corporation wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman.
The Company was founded over 80 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 currently operates in two segments, the consumer division (“Consumer”) and the professional division (“Professional”), and manufactures, markets and sells worldwide an extensive array of beauty and personal care products, including cosmetics, hair color, hair care and hair treatments, beauty tools, men's grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants, fragrances, skincare and other beauty care products. The Company believes that its global brand name recognition, product quality, R&D, new product innovation and marketing experience have enabled it to create leading global consumer and professional brands.
The Company’s Consumer segment is comprised of products that are manufactured, marketed and sold primarily within the mass retail channel in the U.S. and internationally, as well as certain department stores and other specialty stores outside the U.S., under brands such as Revlon, Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice in cosmetics; Revlon ColorSilk in women’s hair color; Revlon in beauty tools; and Mitchum in anti-perspirant deodorants.
The Company's Professional segment manufactures, markets and sells professional products primarily to hair and nail salons and distributors in the U.S. and internationally under brands such as Revlon Professional in hair color, hair care and hair treatments; CND in nail polishes and enhancements, including CND Shellac and CND Vinylux nail polishes; and American Crew in men’s grooming products. The Professional segment also includes Creme of Nature in multi-cultural hair care, which is sold in both the professional channel and in the mass retail channel, primarily in the U.S.
The Company's Business Strategy
The Company’s vision is to establish Revlon as the quintessential and most innovative beauty company in the world by offering products that make consumers feel attractive and beautiful. We want to inspire our consumers to express themselves boldly and confidently.
The Company’s strategic goal is to optimize the market and financial performance of its portfolio of brands and assets. The business strategies employed by the Company to achieve this goal are:
1.
Manage financial drivers for value creation. Gross profit margin expansion, which includes optimizing price, allocating sales allowances to maximize our return on trade spending and reducing costs across our global supply chain. In addition, we are focused on eliminating non-value added general and administrative costs in order to fund reinvestment to facilitate growth.
2.
Grow profitability through intensive innovation and geographical expansion. Creating fewer, bigger and better innovations across our brands that are relevant, unique, impactful, distinctive and ownable. We are also focused on pursuing organic growth opportunities within our existing brand portfolio and existing channels, and pursuing opportunities to expand our geographical presence.
3.
Improve cash flow. Improving our cash flows through, among other things, continued effective management of our working capital and by focusing on appropriate return on capital spending.
4.
People. Attracting, developing and supporting employees who fit into our innovative culture and inspire the creative drive that represents the foundation of our vision and execution of our strategy.
Recent Transactions
Integration Program
On October 9, 2013 (the “Acquisition Date”), Products Corporation acquired The Colomer Group Participations, S.L. ("Colomer" and the "Colomer Acquisition"), a Spanish company, for a cash purchase price of $664.5 million. The Colomer Acquisition has provided the Company with broad brand, geographic and channel diversification as well as distribution into new channels and cost synergies and comprises the entirety of the Company's Professional segment. In addition, the Colomer Acquisition has provided opportunities to achieve additional growth by leveraging the combined Company's enhanced innovation capability
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
and know-how and improve its anticipation of consumer trends in hair color and hair care, nail color and nail care, and skin care as these trends typically appear first in salons. The Company accounted for the Colomer Acquisition as a business combination in the fourth quarter of 2013 and Colomer's results of operations have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition.
The Company's integration initiatives in connection with the Colomer Acquisition have included actions to integrate Colomer's operations into the Company's business, as well as additional restructuring actions to reduce costs across the Company's businesses (all such actions, together the “Integration Program”). The Integration Program is designed to deliver cost reductions throughout the combined organization by generating synergies and operating efficiencies within the Company’s global supply chain, consolidating offices and back office support, as well as actions designed to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain actions that are part of the Integration Program are subject to consultations with employees, works councils or unions and governmental authorities. The Company plans to substantially complete the Integration Program by the end of 2015.
The Company expects to recognize total restructuring charges, capital expenditures and related non-restructuring costs under the Integration Program of approximately $50 million in the aggregate through 2015, and to achieve annualized cost reductions of approximately $30 million to $35 million by the end of 2015. Through 2014, the Company recognized $20.1 million in restructuring and related costs in connection with the Integration Program, while approximately $17.0 million of realized cost reductions benefited the Company's 2014 results. For further discussion of the Colomer Acquisition and the Integration Program, see Note 2, "Business Combination" and Note 3, "Restructuring Charges - Integration Program" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
Debt Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company completed the following debt transactions:
•
February 2014 Term Loan Amendment: In February 2014, Products Corporation entered into an amendment (the “February 2014 Term Loan Amendment”) to its amended term loan agreement, which is comprised of (i) the $675.0 million term loan due November 19, 2017 (the "2011 Term Loan") and (ii) the $700.0 million term loan due October 8, 2019 (the "Acquisition Term Loan"), which has $693.0 million in aggregate principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2014 (together, the "Amended Term Loan Agreement"). The February 2014 Term Loan Amendment reduced the interest rates applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the 2011 Term Loan to the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.5% per annum, with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 0.75% (as compared to 3.0% and 1.0%, respectively, prior to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment) and the interest rates applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans under the 2011 Term Loan to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.5%, with the Alternate Base Rate not to be less than 1.75% (as compared to 2.0% in each case prior to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment).
•
Repayment of Non-Contributed Loan: In May 2014, Products Corporation used available cash on hand to optionally prepay in full the remaining $58.4 million principal amount outstanding under the non-contributed loan portion of the Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement (the "Non-Contributed Loan") that remained owing from Products Corporation to various third parties. The Non-Contributed Loan would have otherwise matured on October 8, 2014.

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, 2014, 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.

Manufacturing and Related Operations and Raw Materials
During 2014, the Company’s products were produced at the Company’s facilities in the U.S. (North Carolina and Florida), South Africa, Spain, Italy and Mexico, and at third-party facilities around the world.
The Company continually reviews its manufacturing needs against its manufacturing capacities to identify opportunities to reduce costs and to operate more efficiently. The Company purchases raw materials and components throughout the world, and continuously pursues reductions in cost of goods through the global sourcing of raw materials and components from qualified vendors, utilizing its purchasing capacity to maximize cost savings. The Company’s global sourcing strategy for materials and components from accredited vendors is also designed to ensure the highest quality and the continuity of supply of the raw materials and components. The Company believes that alternate sources of raw materials and components exist and does not anticipate any significant shortages of, or difficulty in obtaining, such materials. (See Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information in this report, investors should consider carefully the following risk factors when evaluating the Company’s business.
Revlon, Inc. 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, Inc.'s wholly-owned operating subsidiary, are pledged by Revlon, Inc. to secure its obligations under the Amended Credit Agreements.
Revlon, Inc. is a holding company with no business operations of its own. Revlon, Inc.’s only material asset is all of the outstanding capital stock of Products Corporation, Revlon, Inc.’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary, through which Revlon, Inc. conducts its business operations. As such, Revlon, Inc.’s net income has historically consisted predominantly of its equity in the net income of Products Corporation, which for 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $47.3 million, $1.6 million and $71.2 million, respectively (which excluded $9.8 million, $8.1 million and $19.3 million, respectively, in expenses primarily related to Revlon, Inc. being a public holding company). Revlon, Inc. is dependent on the earnings and cash flow of, and dividends and distributions from, Products Corporation to pay Revlon, Inc.’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, Inc.’s Board of Directors.
Products Corporation may not generate sufficient cash flow to pay dividends or distribute funds to Revlon, Inc. 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 Amended Term Loan Agreement and the terms of its third amended and restated revolving credit agreement (together, the "Amended Credit Agreements"), and the indenture governing Products Corporation's 5¾% Senior Notes (the "5¾% Senior Notes Indenture") generally restrict Products Corporation from paying dividends or advancing or making distributions to Revlon, Inc. except in limited circumstances (including, without limitation, that Products Corporation is permitted to pay dividends and advances and make distributions to Revlon, Inc. to enable Revlon, Inc., among other things, to pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal, accounting and insurance fees, regulatory fees, such as SEC filing fees, NYSE listing fees and other expenses related to being a public holding company and, subject to certain limitations, to pay dividends, if any, on Revlon, Inc.’s outstanding securities or make distributions in certain circumstances to finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan). This limitation therefore restricts Revlon, Inc.'s ability to pay dividends on its Class A Common Stock.
All of the shares of the capital stock of Products Corporation held by Revlon, Inc. are pledged to secure Revlon, Inc.’s guarantee of Products Corporation's obligations under its Amended Credit Agreements. A foreclosure upon the shares of Products Corporation's common stock would result in Revlon, Inc. no longer holding its only material asset and would have a material adverse effect on the holders of Revlon, Inc.’s Common Stock and would be a change of control under Products Corporation’s other debt instruments. (See also “Risk Factors - Shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock and Products Corporation’s capital stock are pledged to secure various of Revlon, Inc.’s and/or other of the Company’s affiliates’ obligations and foreclosure upon these shares or dispositions of shares could result in the acceleration of debt under Products Corporation's Amended Credit Agreements and Products Corporation's 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture and could have other consequences.”)
Products Corporation’s substantial indebtedness, including the additional Acquisition Term Loan which it used as a source of funds to consummate the Colomer Acquisition, 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, 2014, the Company’s total indebtedness was $1,875.3 million (or $1,870.5 million net of discounts), primarily including $693.0 million aggregate principal
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
amount outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan that was executed in 2013 in connection with facilitating the consummation of the Colomer Acquisition, $675.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan and $500.0 million in aggregate principal face amount outstanding of Products Corporation's 5¾% Senior Notes. While Revlon, Inc. achieved net income of $40.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, it recorded a net loss of $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and if the Company is unable to maintain sustained profitability and free cash flow in future periods, it could adversely affect 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.
The Company is subject to the risks normally associated with substantial indebtedness, including the risk that the Company’s operating revenues will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, 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 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 the execution of the Company’s business strategy (including activities related to continuing the integration of the Colomer business into the Company’s business), future working capital, capital expenditures, advertising, promotional and/or marketing expenses, new product development costs, purchases and reconfigurations of wall displays, acquisitions, acquisition integration costs, investments, restructuring programs and other general corporate requirements;
•
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 for the execution of the Company’s business strategy 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 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 Amended Credit Agreements and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, limit Products Corporation’s ability to borrow additional money, 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 is added to the Company's current debt levels, the risks described above would increase further.
Products Corporation’s ability to pay the principal amount of its indebtedness depends on many factors.
The 2011 Term Loan under the Amended Term Loan Facility, with $675.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding, matures in November 2017, and the Acquisition Term Loan under the Amended Term Loan Facility, with $693.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding, matures on the sixth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition Term Loan (or October 8, 2019). The Amended Revolving Credit Facility matures on the earlier of August 14, 2018 and 90 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any term loans then outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Facility, but not earlier than June 16, 2016. The 5¾% Senior Notes mature in February 2021. Products Corporation currently anticipates that, in order to pay the principal amount of its outstanding indebtedness upon the occurrence of any event of default, to repurchase its 5¾% 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 at maturity, the Company may be required to refinance Products Corporation’s indebtedness, seek to sell assets or operations, seek to sell additional Revlon, Inc. equity, seek to sell Revlon, Inc. debt securities or Products Corporation debt securities 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, because of a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in Products Corporation’s 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 the 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. Such actions, if ever taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements or enable Products Corporation to comply with the financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreements if the actions do not result in sufficient savings 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
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
indebtedness using any of the above actions because, under certain circumstances, the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture or any of its other debt instruments (including the Amended Credit Agreements) or the debt instruments of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries then in effect may not permit the Company to take such actions. (See "Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s debt agreements 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 Products Corporation’s outstanding indebtedness at or prior to their respective maturity dates, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation’s debt agreements limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure to comply.
Agreements governing Products Corporation’s outstanding indebtedness, including the Amended Credit Agreements and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, contain a number of significant restrictions and covenants that limit Products Corporation’s ability (subject in each case to limited exceptions) to, among other things:
•
borrow money;
•
use assets as security in other borrowings or transactions;
•
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.
In addition, the Amended Credit Agreements contain financial covenants limiting Products Corporation’s first-lien senior secured debt-to-EBITDA ratio (in the case of the Amended Term Loan Agreement) and, under certain circumstances, requiring Products Corporation to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (in the case of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement). These covenants affect Products Corporation’s operating flexibility by, among other things, restricting its ability to incur expenses and indebtedness that could otherwise be used to fund the costs of executing the Company’s business strategy (including activities related to continuing the integration of the Colomer business into the Company’s business and other restructuring activities) and to grow the Company’s business, as well as to fund general corporate purposes.
A breach of the Amended Credit Agreements would permit Products Corporation’s lenders to accelerate amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreements, which would in turn constitute an event of default under the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, if the amount accelerated exceeds $25.0 million and such default remains uncured for 10 days following notice from the trustee for the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture or the holders of at least 30% of the outstanding principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes. In addition, holders of Products Corporation’s outstanding 5¾% Senior Notes may require Products Corporation to repurchase their respective notes in the event of a change of control under the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture. Products Corporation may not have sufficient funds at the time of any such breach of any such covenant or change of control to repay in full the borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreements or to repurchase or redeem its outstanding 5¾% 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 weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products; adverse changes in currency exchange rates, 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; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to shopping channels; inventory management by the Company's customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; changes in pricing 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 and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for pension expense under its benefit plans, acquisition-related integration costs, 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 anticipated level of expenses.
Under such circumstances, Products Corporation may be unable to comply with the provisions of its debt instruments, including the financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreements. If Products Corporation is unable to satisfy such covenants or other provisions at any future time, Products Corporation would need to seek an amendment or waiver of such financial covenants or other provisions. The respective lenders under the Amended Credit Agreements may not consent to any amendment or waiver

requests that Products Corporation 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, Inc.
In the event that Products Corporation is unable to obtain any such waiver or amendment, Products Corporation's inability to meet the financial covenants or other provisions of the Amended Credit Agreements would constitute an event of default under its Amended Credit Agreements, which would permit the bank lenders to accelerate the Amended Credit Agreements and would constitute an event of default under the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture if the amount accelerated exceeds $25.0 million and such default remains uncured for 10 days following notice from the trustee for the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture or the holders of at least 30% of the outstanding principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes.
Products Corporation’s assets and/or cash flow and/or that of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under its outstanding debt instruments, either upon maturity or if accelerated upon an event of default, and if Products Corporation is required to repurchase its outstanding 5¾% Senior Notes or repay the Amended Credit Agreements upon a change of control, Products Corporation may be unable to refinance or restructure the payments on such debt. Further, if Products Corporation is unable to repay, refinance or restructure its indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreements the lenders, subject to certain conditions and limitations as set forth in the third amended and restated intercreditor agreement, could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness.
Limits on Products Corporation's borrowing capacity under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility may affect the Company's ability to finance its operations.
While the Amended Revolving Credit Facility currently provides for up to $175.0 million of commitments, Products Corporation's ability to borrow funds under such facility is limited by a borrowing base determined relative to the value, from time to time, of eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory in the U.S. and the U.K. and eligible real property and equipment in the U.S. In January 2014, the Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries became additional guarantors under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture. In connection with becoming guarantors, substantially all of the assets of the Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries were pledged as collateral under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, thereby increasing the value of the assets supporting the borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
If the value of these eligible assets is not sufficient to support the full $175.0 million borrowing base, Products Corporation will not have full access to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, but rather could have access to a lesser amount determined by the borrowing base. As Products Corporation continues to manage its working capital, this could reduce the borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Further, if Products Corporation borrows funds under such facility, subsequent changes in the value or eligibility of the assets within the borrowing base could cause Products Corporation to be required to pay down the amounts outstanding under such facility so that there is no amount outstanding in excess of the then-existing borrowing base.
Products Corporation's ability to borrow under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is also conditioned upon its compliance with other covenants in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement governing such facility, including a fixed charge coverage ratio that applies when the difference between (1) the borrowing base under such facility and (2) the amounts outstanding under such facility is less than $20.0 million. Because of these limitations, Products Corporation may not always be able to meet its cash requirements with funds borrowed under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
At December 31, 2014, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan and the 2011 Term Loan was $693.0 million and $675.0 million, respectively, with the Company having a liquidity position of $435.7 million, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (net of any outstanding checks) of $269.7 million, as well as $166.0 million in available borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the calculated borrowing base less $9.0 million of undrawn outstanding letters of credit and nil then drawn under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility at such date.
The Amended Revolving Credit Facility is syndicated to a group of banks and financial institutions. Each bank is responsible to lend its portion of the $175.0 million commitment if and when Products Corporation seeks to draw under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. The lenders may assign their commitments to other banks and financial institutions in certain cases without prior notice to Products Corporation. If a lender is unable to meet its lending commitment, then the other lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility have the right, but not the obligation, to lend additional funds to make up for the defaulting lender’s commitment, if any. Products Corporation has never had any of its lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility fail to fulfill their lending commitment. Based on information available to the Company, the Company has no reason to believe that any of the lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility would be unable to fulfill their commitments to lend under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014. However, it is possible that economic conditions and potential volatility in the financial markets, among other factors, could impact the liquidity and financial condition of certain banks and financial institutions. If one or more lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility were unable to fulfill their commitment to lend, such inability would impact the Company's liquidity and, depending upon the amount involved and the Company's liquidity
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
requirements, 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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
A substantial portion of Products Corporation's indebtedness is subject to floating interest rates.
A substantial portion of 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, 2014, $1,372.8 million of Products Corporation's total indebtedness (or $1,368.0 million net of discounts), or approximately 73% of Products Corporation's total indebtedness, was subject to floating interest rates.
Under the Amended Term Loan Agreement, as of December 31, 2014 the $693.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan and the $675.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan bear interest, at Products Corporation's option, at either the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement) plus 2.5% and 3.0% per annum, respectively (provided that in no event shall the Eurodollar Rate (which is based upon LIBOR) be less than 0.75% and 1.0% per annum, respectively), or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement) plus 1.5% and 2.0% per annum, respectively, which Alternate Base Rate is based on the greater of Citibank, N.A.’s announced base rate and the U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.5% (provided that in no event shall the Alternative Base Rate be less than 1.75% and 2.0% per annum, respectively).
In November 2013, Products Corporation entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap in a single derivative with a notional amount of $400.0 million in respect of indebtedness under the Acquisition Term Loan for a 3-year period beginning in May 2015 (the "2013 Interest Rate Swap"). Under the terms of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, Products Corporation will be required to pay to the counterparty a quarterly fixed interest rate of 2.0709% on the $400.0 million notional amount, while receiving variable interest rate payments from the counterparty equal to the 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% (which effectively fixes the interest rate on such notional amount at 5.0709% over the 3-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap). While Products Corporation may enter into other interest hedging contracts, it may not be able to do so on a cost-effective basis, and any hedging transactions that Products Corporation enters into may not achieve their intended purpose and shifts in interest rates may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
At December 31, 2014, the Eurodollar Rate, LIBOR and the Alternate Base Rate for the Acquisition Term Loan and the 2011 Term Loan were as follows:
Pursuant to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, the LIBOR portion of the interest rate on $400.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Acquisition Term Loan is effectively fixed at 5.0709% beginning in May 2015 through May 2018. Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear interest at a rate equal to, at Products Corporation's option, either (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid below, or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid below:
Local Loans (as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement) bear interest, if mutually acceptable to Products Corporation and the relevant foreign lenders, at the Local Rate, and otherwise (i) if in foreign currencies or in U.S. Dollars, at the Eurodollar Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid above or (ii) if in U.S. Dollars, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid above.
If any of LIBOR, Euribor, the base rate, the U.S. federal funds rate or such equivalent local currency 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 Amended Credit Agreements, and other short-term borrowings (which, in the
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
aggregate, are Products Corporation’s only debt currently subject to floating interest rates) as of December 31, 2014, an increase in LIBOR and Euribor of 1% would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by $13.9 million. Increased debt service costs would adversely affect the Company's cash flow.
The Company depends on its Oxford, North Carolina facility for production of a substantial portion of its products within the Consumer segment. Disruptions at this facility, and/or at other Company or third party facilities at which the Company's products are manufactured for both its Consumer and Professional segments, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
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, including those that the Company recently acquired within the Professional segment, and/or third party facilities at which the Company's products are manufactured, whether due to equipment breakdowns, power failures, natural disasters, weather conditions hampering delivery schedules 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, financial condition and/or results of operations. Additionally, if product sales exceed forecasts or production, the Company could, from time to time, not have an adequate supply of products to meet customer demands, which could cause the Company to lose sales.
The Company's new product introductions may not be as successful as the Company anticipates, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
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. Each new product launch, including those resulting from this new product development process, carries risks, as well as the possibility of unexpected consequences, including:
•
the acceptance of the 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 advertising, promotional and/or marketing 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;
•
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 its new product launches or space reconfigurations or reductions in retail display space by its customers or the Company's net sales may be impacted by inventory management by its customers or changes in pricing 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, 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 Item 1A. Risk Factors -"Competition in the cosmetics, hair and beauty care products business could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.")
•
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 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
•
any delays or difficulties impacting the Company's ability, or the ability of the Company's suppliers, to timely manufacture, distribute and ship products, displays or display walls in connection with launching new products, such as due to inclement weather conditions or those delays or difficulties discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors - "The Company depends on its Oxford, North Carolina facility for production of a substantial portion of the Company's products within the Consumer segment. Disruptions at this facility, and/or at other Company or third party facilities at which the Company's products are manufactured for both its Consumer and Professional segments, could affect the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations,” 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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
The Company currently expects that operating revenues, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement and other permitted lines of credit will be sufficient to enable the Company to cover its operating expenses for 2015, including cash requirements for the payment of expenses in connection with the execution of the Company's business strategy and its advertising, promotional and/or marketing plans, integration costs related to the Colomer Acquisition, purchases of permanent wall displays, capital expenditure requirements, debt service payments and costs, tax payments, pension and post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company's restructuring programs, severance not otherwise included in the Company's restructuring programs and debt and/or equity repurchases, if any.
If the Company's anticipated level of revenue is not achieved, however, because of, for example, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products; adverse changes in currency exchange rates, 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; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to shopping channels; inventory management by the Company's customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; changes in pricing 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 and/or marketing plans; or if the Company's expenses, including, without limitation, for pension expense under its benefit plans, integration costs related to the Colomer Acquisition, 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 certain financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreements.
If the Company's operating revenues, cash on hand and/or funds available for borrowing are insufficient to cover the Company's expenses or are insufficient to enable Products Corporation to comply with the financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreements, 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 strategy (including activities related to continuing the integration of the Colomer business into the Company’s business);
•
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, Inc. equity or debt securities or Products Corporation's debt securities; or
•
reducing other discretionary spending.
There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to take any of these actions, because of a variety of commercial or market factors or constraints in Products Corporation's 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 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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Such actions, if ever taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its cash requirements or enable Products Corporation to comply with the financial covenants under its Amended Credit Agreements if the actions do not result in sufficient savings or generate a sufficient amount of additional capital, as the case may be. (See Item 1A. Risk Factors - “Restrictions and covenants in Products Corporation's debt agreements limit its ability to take certain actions and impose consequences in the event of failure
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
to comply,” which discusses, among other things, the consequences of noncompliance with Products Corporation's credit agreement covenants).
Economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations 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 contributed and may continue to contribute to high unemployment levels, lower consumer spending and reduced credit availability, and have impacted and could in the future impact business and consumer confidence. Such conditions could have an impact on consumer purchases and/or customer purchases of the Company's products, which could result in a reduction of net sales, operating income and/or cash flows. 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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Walmart and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 16%, 20% and 22% of the Company’s worldwide net sales for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company expects that, for future periods, Walmart and a small number of other customers in the Consumer and Professional segments will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of the Company's net sales. These customers have demanded, and may continue to demand, increased service and other accommodations. The Company may be affected by changes in the policies and demands of its customers relating to service levels, inventory de-stocking, pricing and 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 an obligation to continue purchasing products from the Company in the future.
The loss of Walmart or one or more of the Company's other customers that may 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 the Company's customers, inventory management by the Company's customers, changes in pricing or promotional strategies by the Company's customers or space reconfigurations by the Company's customers or any significant decrease in the Company's display space, could reduce the Company's net sales and/or operating income and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
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 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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
The Company may be unable to maintain or increase its sales through the Company's primary distribution channels, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
A decrease in consumer demand in the U.S. and internationally for beauty care products, inventory management by the Company's customers, changes in pricing or promotional strategies by the Company's customers (such as the development and/or expansion of their own private label brands), a reduction in display space by the Company's customers and/or a change in consumers’ purchasing habits, such as by buying more cosmetics and beauty care products in channels in which the Company does not currently compete (such as prestige and department stores, television shopping, door-to-door, specialty stores, the internet, perfumeries and other distribution outlets, which combine to account for a significant amount of beauty care sales), could impact sales of the Company's products, which could reduce the Company's net sales and which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Competition in the cosmetics, hair and beauty care products business could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
The cosmetics, hair and beauty care products business is highly competitive. The Company competes primarily by:
•
developing quality products with innovative performance features, shades, finishes and packaging;
•
educating consumers and salon professionals about the benefits of the Company’s products;
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
•
anticipating and responding to changing consumer and salon professional demands in a timely manner, including 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 promotion programs;
•
ensuring product availability through effective planning and replenishment collaboration with the Company's customers;
•
providing strong and effective advertising, promotion, marketing and merchandising support;
•
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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
In addition, 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 advertising, promotions and marketing and have more flexibility than the Company to respond to changing business and economic conditions. The Company's products also compete with similar products sold through channels other than those in which it competes, including prestige and department stores, television shopping, door-to-door, specialty stores, the internet, perfumeries and other distribution outlets.
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 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 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. Within the Company’s Consumer segment, 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 in the U.S. mass retail channel. The Company's color cosmetics brands have experienced, over time, year-over-year share declines in its color cosmetics brands in the U.S. mass retail channel and it is possible that the Company may continue to experience further share declines. Further declines in the Company's share in the U.S. mass retail channel could, among other things, contribute to a 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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
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 fluctuations, currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations and the value of its foreign assets.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had operations based in 24 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 (including Japan), Australia, Eastern Europe, South America (including Venezuela and Argentina) and South Africa, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Such risks arise from laws and policies that govern foreign investment in countries where the Company has operations, hyperinflation, currency devaluation, currency controls, government-mandated pricing controls, currency remittance restrictions, changes in consumer purchasing habits (including as to shopping channels), as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in U.S. laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment.
These risks and limitations could affect the ability of the Company's foreign subsidiaries to obtain sufficient capital to conduct their operations in the ordinary course of business. These limitations and the difficulties that certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries may experience on the free flow of funds to these foreign subsidiaries could restrict the Company's ability to respond timely to challenging market conditions or changes in operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government, which began in 2003, have impacted the ability of Revlon Venezuela to obtain U.S. Dollars in exchange for local currency at the official foreign exchange rates. Revlon Venezuela accounted for approximately 1% of the Company's net sales for each of 2014 and 2013 and 2% of the Company's net sales for 2012.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Effective January 1, 2010, Venezuela was designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP and as a result of that hyperinflationary designation and the devaluation of Venezuela's currency, the Company's results of operations in 2010 were adversely impacted. As a result, through 2012, the Company used alternative foreign currency markets with less favorable exchange rates to access U.S. Dollars for Revlon Venezuela, which also adversely impacted the Company's results of operations. Throughout 2013, the Company imported certain products at a rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, which represented the Venezuela foreign exchange commission's Official Rate. In March 2014, a parallel foreign currency exchange system, SICAD II, started functioning which allows companies to apply for the purchase of foreign currency and foreign currency denominated securities for any legal use or purpose. During 2014, SICAD II has had an average transaction rate to the Company of approximately 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the "SICAD II Rate").
Throughout 2014, the Company exchanged Bolivars for U.S. Dollars to the extent permitted through the various foreign currency markets available to the Company based on its ability to participate in those markets. Prior to June 30, 2014, the Company utilized the Official Rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar. Following a consideration of the Company's specific facts and circumstances, which included its legal ability and intent to participate in the SICAD II exchange market to import finished goods into Venezuela, the Company determined that it was appropriate to utilize the SICAD II Rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning on June 30, 2014. As a result, the Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the change to the SICAD II Rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, as compared to the 6.3 Official Rate, has had the impact of reducing the Company's consolidated net sales by $16.2 million and reducing the Company's consolidated operating income by $8.4 million.
The Company's net sales outside of the U.S. for each of 2014, 2013 and 2012 were approximately 47%, 44% and 43% of the Company's total consolidated net sales, respectively. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company's results of operations and the value of the Company's foreign assets in 2015, 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 enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge certain net cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts are 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, 2014, the notional amount of Products Corporation's foreign currency forward exchange contracts was $7.6 million. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts that Products Corporation enters into may not adequately protect against foreign currency fluctuations.
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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
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 terrorist attacks such as those that have occurred in Paris, France, Benghazi, Libya, Madrid, Spain and London, England, attempted terrorist attacks, military responses to terrorist attacks, other military actions and/or civil unrest such as that recently occurring in the Ukraine, Venezuela, Syria, Iraq and surrounding areas, 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 net sales and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
The Company's products are subject to federal, state and international regulations that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), in the U.S., as well as various other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities, including those in the European Union, or the EU, Canada and other countries in which the Company operates. The Company's Oxford, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida manufacturing facilities are registered with the FDA as drug manufacturing establishments, permitting the manufacture of cosmetics and other beauty-care products that contain over-the-counter drug ingredients, such as sunscreens and anti-perspirant deodorants in the case of the Oxford, North Carolina facility and anti-dandruff hair-care products in the case of the Jacksonville, Florida facility. 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, 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, financial condition and/or results of operations.

The failure of the Company's information technology systems and/or difficulties or delays in implementing new information technology systems could disrupt the Company's business operations which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
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. The failure of the Company's information technology systems, including any failure of the Company's current systems and/or as a result of transitioning to additional or replacement information technology systems, as the case may be, to perform as the Company anticipates 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 cause the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations to suffer. 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 failure, system conversions, security breaches, cyber-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. Any such damage or interruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
The Company is currently implementing a company-wide SAP enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The Company's anticipated implementation of this SAP ERP system may not result in improvements that outweigh its costs and may disrupt the Company's operations. This system implementation subjects the Company to substantial costs, the majority of which are capital expenditures, and inherent risks associated with migrating from the Company's legacy systems. These costs and risks could include, but are not limited to:
•
inability to fill customer orders accurately or on a timely basis, or at all;
•
inability to process payments to vendors accurately or in a timely manner;
•
disruption of the Company's internal control structure;
•
inability to fulfill the Company's SEC or other governmental reporting requirements in a timely or accurate manner;
•
inability to fulfill federal, state and local tax filing requirements in a timely or accurate manner;
•
increased demands on management and staff time to the detriment of other corporate initiatives; and
•
significant capital and operating expenditures.
If the Company is unable to successfully plan, design or implement this new SAP ERP system, in whole or in part, or experience unanticipated difficulties or delays in doing so, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
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 revenues 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 revenues and have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation.
A substantial portion of the products that the Company sells under its Professional segment are sold to professional salon distributors and/or wholesalers. Products sold in these channels 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 distribution channels, 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 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.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 revenues and have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation.
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, financial condition and/or results of operations.
The continued execution of the Company's business strategy 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 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, it could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock and Products Corporation's capital stock are pledged to secure various of Revlon, Inc.'s and/or other of the Company's affiliates’ obligations and foreclosure upon these shares or dispositions of shares could result in the acceleration of debt under Products Corporation's Amended Credit Agreements and Products Corporation's 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture and could have other consequences.
All of Products Corporation's shares of common stock are pledged to secure Revlon, Inc.’s guarantee under the Amended Credit Agreements. MacAndrews & Forbes has advised the Company that it has pledged shares of Revlon, Inc.’s Class A Common Stock to secure certain obligations of MacAndrews & Forbes. Additional shares of Revlon, Inc. and shares of common stock of intermediate holding companies between Revlon, Inc. 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, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock, Products Corporation's common stock or stock of intermediate holding companies between Revlon, Inc. and MacAndrews & Forbes.
A foreclosure upon any such shares of common stock or dispositions of shares of Revlon, Inc.’s Class A Common Stock, Products Corporation's common stock or stock of intermediate holding companies between Revlon, Inc. and MacAndrews & Forbes which are beneficially owned by MacAndrews & Forbes could, in a sufficient amount, constitute a “change of control” under the Amended Credit Agreements and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture. A change of control constitutes an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreements which would permit Products Corporation's lenders to accelerate amounts outstanding under such facilities. In addition, holders of the 5¾% Senior Notes may require Products Corporation to repurchase their respective 5¾% Senior Notes under those circumstances.
Products Corporation may not have sufficient funds at the time of any such change of control to repay in full the borrowings under the Amended Credit Facilities and/or to repurchase or redeem the 5¾% Senior Notes. (See “- 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 financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreements which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.”)
MacAndrews & Forbes has the power to direct and control the Company's business.
MacAndrews & Forbes is wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman. Mr. Perelman, through MacAndrews & Forbes, beneficially owned approximately 78% of Revlon, Inc.'s outstanding Class A Common Stock on December 31, 2014. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to control the election of the entire Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc. and of Products Corporation's Board of Directors (as it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Revlon, Inc.) and controls the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of Revlon, Inc.’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.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Company may not be able to efficiently integrate Colomer into the Company’s ongoing business operations, which may result in the Company’s inability to fully realize the intended benefits of the Colomer Acquisition, or may disrupt the Company's current operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and/or results of operations.
The Company is in the process of integrating the operations of Colomer into the Company’s business and expects to achieve approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million of annualized cost reductions by the end of 2015, at a cost of approximately $50.0 million in the aggregate through 2015. The ongoing process of continuing to integrate Colomer into the Company's business involves complex operational, technological and personnel-related challenges, which are time-consuming and expensive and may disrupt the Company's ongoing core business operations. These integration activities involve a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
•
difficulties or complications in combining the companies' operations;
•
differences in controls, procedures and policies, regulatory standards and business cultures among the combined companies;
•
the diversion of management's attention from the Company's ongoing core business operations;
•
difficulties or delays in consolidating Colomer’s information technology platforms, including implementing systems designed to continue to ensure that the Company maintains effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the combined company and enable the Company to continue to comply with U.S. GAAP and applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations;
•
possible disruptions that could result from efforts to consolidate the combined Company’s manufacturing facilities or changes in the combined Company’s supply chain, including work stoppages;
•
unanticipated costs and other assumed contingent liabilities; and/or
•
possible tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the combined company.
These factors could cause the Company to not fully realize the anticipated financial and/or strategic benefits of the Colomer Acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2014, the Company's major manufacturing, research and warehouse/distribution facilities by the segment that each primarily operates in, all of which are owned, except where otherwise noted.
(a)
Property subject to liens under the Amended Credit Agreements.
In addition to the facilities described above, the Company owns and leases additional facilities in various areas throughout the world, including the lease for the Company's executive offices in New York, New York (approximately 91,000 square feet) and in Cornella, Spain (approximately 107,000 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.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is 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, financial condition and/or its results of operations. 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
MacAndrews & Forbes, which is wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman, at December 31, 2014 beneficially owned 40,669,640 shares of Revlon, Inc.’s Class A Common Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) (28,389,938 shares of which were beneficially owned by MacAndrews & Forbes, 7,718,092 shares of which were owned by a holding company, RCH Holdings One Inc. (of which each of Mr. Perelman and The Ronald O. Perelman 2008 Trust owns 50% of the shares), and 4,561,610 shares of which were beneficially owned by a family member of Mr. Perelman with respect to which shares MacAndrews & Forbes holds a voting proxy).
In October 2013, MacAndrews & Forbes exercised its right under Revlon, Inc.'s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to voluntarily convert all of the 3,125,000 shares of Revlon, Inc.'s Class B Common Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), previously held in the name of REV Holdings LLC, on a one-for-one basis into 3,125,000 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock. The shares of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock issued in such conversion were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). As MacAndrews & Forbes is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, such shares were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Appropriate restrictive legends were affixed to the certificate representing the shares of Class A Common Stock issued to REV Holdings LLC in such conversion. Revlon, Inc. did not receive any proceeds in connection with such conversion.
In October 2009, Revlon, Inc. issued to stockholders who participated in the 2009 Exchange Offer 9,336,905 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). On October 8, 2013, Revlon, Inc. consummated the mandatory redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with such preferred stock's certificate of designation and paid such holders $48.6 million, which represented the $5.21 liquidation preference for each of the outstanding 9,336,905 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
As a result of the above-referenced conversion and redemption transactions, Revlon, Inc.’s only class of capital stock outstanding at December 31, 2014 is its Class A Common Stock.
At December 31, 2014, Mr. Perelman, directly and indirectly, through MacAndrews & Forbes, beneficially owned approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding shares of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock, which represented approximately 78% of the voting power of Revlon, Inc.’s voting capital stock. The remaining 11,704,830 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014 were owned by the public.
Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). As of December 31, 2014, there were 352 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 2014 by Revlon, Inc. on its Class A Common Stock. The terms of the Amended Credit Agreements and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture currently restrict Products Corporation’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions to Revlon, Inc., except in limited circumstances.
The table below shows the high and low quarterly closing stock prices of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock on the NYSE consolidated tape for 2014 and 2013.

Overview
Overview of the Business
Revlon, Inc. (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.

Discontinued Operations Presentation
As a result of the Company's decision on December 30, 2013 to exit its business operations in China, effective December 31, 2013, the Company is reporting the results of its China operations within income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Unless otherwise stated, financial results discussed within "Overview" and "Results of Operations" refer to continuing operations. See Note 4, "Discontinued Operations" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Overview of Net Sales and Earnings Results
Consolidated net sales in 2014 were $1,941.0 million, an increase of $446.3 million, or 29.9%, as compared to $1,494.7 million in 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $60.1 million, consolidated net sales increased $506.4 million, or 33.9%, in 2014. The increase in consolidated net sales from 2013 is primarily driven by the increase in net sales of $460.9 million as a result of the Colomer Acquisition in October 2013.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Consolidated income from continuing operations, net of taxes, in 2014 was $39.6 million, compared to $24.6 million in 2013. The increase of $15.0 million in 2014 was primarily due to:
•
$323.1 million of higher gross profit due to a $446.3 million increase in consolidated net sales, partially offset by a $123.2 million increase in cost of sales, both of which were primarily driven by the inclusion of net sales and cost of sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition beginning in October 2013;
•
a $27.7 decrease in loss on the early extinguishment of debt primarily due to $29.7 million of loss recognized during 2013 as a result of the 2013 Senior Notes Refinancing; and
•
a $19.0 million decrease in acquisition and integration costs as compared to 2013, as total costs incurred during 2013 included legal and consulting fees related to completing the Colomer Acquisition, as well as the impairment of in-progress capitalized software development costs;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•
$277.8 million of higher SG&A expenses primarily driven by the inclusion of additional SG&A expenses as a result of the Colomer Acquisition beginning in 2013, in addition to higher advertising costs within the Company's Consumer segment;
•
$21.3 million of higher foreign currency losses, net, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of the revaluation of certain U.S. Dollar denominated payables during 2014, as compared to 2013, as well as a $6.0 million foreign currency loss recognized in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of the re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela's balance sheet;
•
$17.8 million of higher restructuring charges and other, net primarily due to the changes incurred from the Integration Program;
•
$10.6 million of higher interest expense in 2014 primarily due to higher average debt as a result of the Acquisition Term Loan which was used to fund the Colomer Acquisition in 2013, partially offset by $5.0 million of interest expense incurred in 2013 related to dividends on Revlon, Inc.'s Series A Preferred Stock, which matured and was fully redeemed on October 8, 2013; and
•
a $31.8 million increase in the provision for income taxes in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to higher pre-tax income, establishing a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets within the Professional segment, as well as certain income tax benefits and discrete items realized within each comparable period.
These items are discussed in more detail within "Results of Operations" and within "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.
2014 Events
Integration Program
In January 2014, the Company announced that it was implementing the Integration Program, which included actions to integrate Colomer’s operations into the Company’s business, as well as additional restructuring actions identified to reduce costs across the Company’s businesses. The Company expects to recognize total restructuring charges, capital expenditures and related non-restructuring costs under the Integration Program of approximately $50 million in the aggregate over 2013 through 2015, and to achieve annualized cost reductions of approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million by the end of 2015.
During 2014, the Company recognized $5.9 million of non-restructuring costs and $20.1 million in restructuring and related charges under the Integration Program, as well as $4.4 million in capital expenditures. Approximately $17.0 million of realized cost reductions achieved as a result of the Company's Integration Program and related activities benefited 2014 results.
For further discussion of the Colomer Acquisition and the Integration Program, see Note 2, "Business Combinations" and Note 3, "Restructuring Charges - Integration Program" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
2014 Debt Transaction
During 2014, Products Corporation completed certain debt transactions, including the February 2014 amendment to its amended term loan agreement and the early repayment of the non-contributed loan portion of the Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement.
See Note 11, "Long-Term Debt" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for a summary of these debt transactions and "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Long-Term Debt Instruments" for further discussion of these debt transactions.

(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Operating Segments
Commencing in 2013 and following the Colomer Acquisition Date, the Company began operating in two segments, the Consumer segment and the Professional segment:
•
The Consumer segment is comprised of the Company's consumer brands, which primarily include Revlon, Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice in color cosmetics; Revlon ColorSilk in women’s hair color; Revlon in beauty tools; and Mitchum in anti-perspirant deodorants.

Consolidated Net Sales:
Consolidated net sales in 2014 were $1,941.0 million, an increase of $446.3 million, or 29.9%, as compared to $1,494.7 million in 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $60.1 million, consolidated net sales increased $506.4 million, or 33.9%, during 2014, primarily driven by the inclusion of net sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition beginning in 2013. See "Segment Results" below for further discussion.
Consolidated net sales in 2013 were $1,494.7 million, an increase of $98.3 million, or 7.0%, compared to $1,396.4 million in 2012. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $36.2 million, consolidated net sales increased $134.5 million, or 9.6%, from 2012, primarily driven by the inclusion of net sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition, commencing on the Acquisition Date. See "Segment Results" below for further discussion.
Segment Results:
The Company's management evaluates segment profit, which is defined 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, for each of the Company's Consumer and Professional segments. Segment profit also excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the segments' underlying operating performance, which includes the impacts of: (i) restructuring and related charges; (ii) acquisition and integration costs; (iii) costs of sales resulting from a fair value adjustment to inventory acquired in the Colomer Acquisition; (iv) insurance proceeds received in 2013 related to the 2011 fire that destroyed the Company's facility in Venezuela; (v) insurance proceeds from the recovery of litigation settlements; and (vi) an accrual for estimated clean-up costs related to the Company's facility in Venezuela. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses related to the corporate organization. These expenses are recorded in unallocated corporate expenses as these items are centrally directed and controlled and are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales. For a reconciliation of segment profit to income from continuing operations before income taxes, see Note 19, "Segment Data and Related Information" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The following tables provide a comparative summary of the Company's segment results for each of 2014, 2013 and 2012. In the tables below, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Consumer segment net sales and segment profit include the results of retail brands acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which had previously been included in the Professional segment.
(a) XFX excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Consumer Segment
Consumer segment net sales in 2014 were $1,438.3 million, an increase of $44.1 million, or 3.2%, compared to $1,394.2 million in 2013. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $54.2 million, total Consumer net sales increased $98.3 million, or 7.1%, in 2014, compared to 2013, primarily driven by (i) the inclusion of $52.8 million of increased net sales from Consumer brands acquired in the Colomer Acquisition; (ii) $15.1 million of favorable returns reserve adjustments in the U.S. during 2014, as a result of lower expected discontinued products in the future related to the Company's strategy to focus on fewer, bigger and better innovations, partially offset by increased returns expense for current year returns; and (iii) higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Revlon ColorSilk hair color and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products. The increases in Consumer segment net sales in 2014 were partially offset by lower net sales of fragrances, as well as lower net sales of Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice color cosmetics.
Consumer segment profit in 2014 was $347.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 0.1%, compared to $347.2 million in 2013, primarily due to higher gross profit, primarily due to the increase in net sales including the favorable returns adjustment discussed above, partially offset by $33.0 million of higher advertising expense to support the Company's Consumer brands, and approximately $17.0 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. See "Gross Profit" below for further discussion on changes in gross profit from 2013.
Total Consumer net sales in 2013 were $1,394.2 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 0.2%, compared to $1,396.4 million in 2012. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $36.2 million, total Consumer net sales increased $34.0 million, or 2.4%, in 2013, compared to 2012, primarily driven by higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, SinfulColors color cosmetics, Revlon beauty tools and Revlon ColorSilk hair color, as well as the inclusion of the net sales of Pure Ice color cosmetics which began upon its acquisition in July 2012. Additionally, 2013 Consumer net sales included the retail brands acquired in the Colomer acquisition commencing on the Acquisition Date, which contributed $16.3 million of net sales in 2013. The increases in net sales were partially offset by lower net sales of Almay color cosmetics. Consumer net sales in 2013 overall were unfavorably impacted by business conditions in Venezuela.
Consumer segment profit in 2013 decreased $15.9 million, or 4.4%, compared to $363.1 million in 2012, primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of $15.1 million.

Professional Segment
The Company's Professional segment is comprised of most of the operations acquired by the Company in the Colomer Acquisition in October 2013 (with the exception of the retail brands acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which the Company has included within the Consumer segment, as noted above). As Colomer was acquired in October 2013, there are no full year comparable prior years' net sales or segment profit for the Professional segment. Therefore, an analysis of net sales and segment profit for the Professional segment in 2014, compared to 2013, is not included in this Form 10-K. Professional net sales were $502.7 million for the full year of 2014 and $100.5 million from the October 2013 Acquisition Date through the end of 2013. Professional net sales during each period consisted primarily of the net sales of CND products worldwide, including CND Shellac; Revlon Professional products, primarily in Europe; and American Crew products and other professional brands world-wide.
Professional segment profit was $104.8 million for the full year of 2014 and $5.1 million from the October 2013 Acquisition Date through the end of 2013 and is comprised of the operating results of substantially all of the operations acquired in the Colomer Acquisition.
Geographic Results:
In connection with changes that the organization made to its management reporting structure following the Colomer Acquisition, beginning with the first quarter of 2014, the Company combined its former Latin America and Canada; Asia Pacific; and Europe, Middle East and Africa operating regions into the International region for reporting purposes. The Company has modified its net sales discussion to conform to the manner by which the Company's management reviews the business, and, accordingly, prior year amounts have been restated to conform to this presentation.
The following tables provide a comparative summary of the Company's net sales by region for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:
(a) XFX excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
United States
In the U.S., net sales in 2014 increased $189.1 million, or 22.7%, to $1,021.9 million, as compared to $832.8 million in 2013, primarily due to the inclusion of $157.1 million of increased net sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition. Net sales in the U.S. were also impacted by $15.1 million of favorable returns reserve adjustments during 2014, as a result of lower expected discontinued products in the future related to the Company's strategy to focus on fewer, bigger and better innovations, partially offset by increased returns expense for current year returns. In addition, 2014 had higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics, Revlon ColorSilk hair color and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products, which were offset, in part, by lower net sales of Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice color cosmetics.
In the U.S., net sales in 2013 increased $33.0 million, or 4.1%, to $832.8 million, as compared to $799.8 million in 2012, almost entirely due to the inclusion of $32.4 million of net sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition. Results were also driven by higher net sales of SinfulColors color cosmetics, Revlon beauty tools and Revlon ColorSilk hair color, as well as the inclusion of the net sales of Pure Ice color cosmetics which began upon its acquisition in July 2012, almost fully offset by lower net sales of Almay color cosmetics.

International
International net sales in 2014 increased $257.2 million, or 38.9%, to $919.1 million, as compared to $661.9 million in 2013. Excluding the $60.1 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, International net sales increased $317.3 million, or 47.9%, primarily due to the inclusion of $303.8 million of increased net sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition. Additionally, net sales were impacted by higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics in Venezuela and Japan and Mitchum anti-perspirant deodorant products primarily in the U.K., partially offset by lower net sales of Revlon color cosmetics in certain distributor markets and fragrances in the U.K. and Italy. Results in Venezuela for 2014 benefited from the increased availability of U.S. Dollars to import finished goods for sale, as compared to 2013.
International net sales in 2013 increased $65.3 million, or 10.9%, to $661.9 million, as compared to $596.6 million in 2012. Excluding the $36.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, International net sales increased $101.5 million, or 17.0%, primarily due to the inclusion of $84.4 million of net sales as a result of the Colomer Acquisition. Additionally, net sales were impacted by higher net sales of Revlon color cosmetics and SinfulColors color cosmetics in Japan, Australia and throughout Europe, partially offset by overall lower net sales, primarily in Venezuela, as a result of the negative impact of the business conditions in the country, including currency restrictions.
Gross profit:
Gross profit increased $323.1 million, and as a percentage of net sales gross profit increased 2.0 percentage points in 2014, as compared to 2013. The drivers of gross profit in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily included:
•
the inclusion of gross profit from the Colomer Acquisition beginning in October 2013, which increased gross profit by $314.8 million and increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 1.3 percentage points;
•
favorable sales mix within the Consumer segment, which increased gross profit by $19.3 million and increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 1.0 percentage points;
•
favorable volume, which increased gross profit by $15.2 million, with no impact on gross profit as a percentage of net sales; and
•
the favorable impact of returns accrual adjustments, net of related inventory write-off charges, due to lower expected discontinued products in the future related to the Company's strategy to focus on fewer, bigger and better innovations, which increased gross profit by $12.1 million and increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.1 percentage points;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•
unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, which reduced gross profit by $45.1 million and reduced gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.4 percentage points.
In 2013, as compared to 2012, gross profit increased $47.0 million, and as a percentage of net sales gross profit decreased 1.1 percentage points. The drivers of gross profit in 2013, compared to 2012 primarily included:
•
the inclusion of gross profit from the October 2013 Colomer Acquisition, which increased gross profit by $70.7 million and reduced gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.3 percentage points;
•
favorable volume, which increased gross profit by $22.6 million, with no impact on gross profit as a percentage of net sales; and
•
lower manufacturing and freight costs, as a result of supply chain cost reduction initiatives and restructuring savings, which increased gross profit by $5.7 million and increased gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.4 percentage points;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•
additional inventory costs as a result of the recognition of an increase in the fair value of inventory acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which reduced gross profit by $8.5 million and reduced gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.6 percentage points;
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
•
unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, which reduced gross profit by $28.5 million and reduced gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.4 percentage points; and
•
higher sales returns and markdowns, which reduced gross profit by $13.8 million and reduced gross profit as a percentage of net sales by 0.4 percentage points.
SG&A expenses:
In 2014, as compared to 2013, SG&A expenses increased $277.8 million, primarily driven by:
•
the inclusion of SG&A expenses as a result of the Colomer Acquisition, beginning in October 2013, which contributed $226.2 million to the increase in SG&A expenses;
•
$33.0 million of higher advertising expenses to support the Company's brands within the Consumer segment;
•
a $26.4 million gain from insurance proceeds in 2013 due to the settlement of the Company's claim for the loss of inventory from the fire that destroyed the Company's facility in Venezuela, partially offset by an accrual in 2013 of $7.6 million for estimated clean-up costs related to the destroyed facility, which did not recur in 2014;
•
$18.3 million of higher general and administrative expenses, primarily due to increased severance related costs, higher incentive and stock-based compensation expense, and higher occupancy costs due to overlapping rents as a result of the Company's relocation of its New York City headquarters during 2014; and
•
$4.0 million of higher amortization of permanent wall displays;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•
$24.8 million of favorable impacts due to foreign currency fluctuations.
In 2013, as compared to 2012, SG&A expenses increased $49.1 million, primarily driven by:
•
the inclusion of SG&A expenses in the Professional segment as a result of the Colomer Acquisition, commencing on the Acquisition Date, which contributed $74.8 million to the increase in SG&A expenses; and
•
$5.1 million of increased permanent display amortization costs;
•
higher incentive compensation expense related to a modification to the structure of the Company's long-term incentive plan during 2013, which was implemented to better align the plan with the Company's long-term performance. While the new structure did not change the amount of an employees' annual incentive award opportunity, the transition resulted in higher expense of $4.5 million in 2013 as compared to 2012;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•
a net decrease of $16.0 million related to the fire that destroyed the Company's facility in Venezuela in June 2011, comprised of:
◦
a $26.4 million gain from insurance proceeds recognized in 2013 as a result of the settlement of the Company’s insurance claims for the loss of inventory, business interruption losses and property losses;
◦
partially offset by: (i) an accrual of $7.6 million for estimated clean-up costs related to the destroyed facility in Venezuela, which was recognized in 2013; and (ii) $2.8 million of income from insurance proceeds recognized in 2012 related to business interruption losses incurred.
•
$14.4 million of favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations; and
•
$8.6 million of lower general and administrative expenses primarily due to:
(i) the impact of the $8.9 million litigation loss contingency recognized in 2012 that did not recur in 2013; and (ii) $1.8 million of insurance proceeds recognized in 2013 related to such litigation (see Note 21, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for further discussion).

The acquisition and integration costs for 2014 and 2013 are summarized in the table presented below. The Company did not incur acquisition or integration related costs during 2012.
Acquisition costs in 2013 and 2014 primarily include legal fees and consulting fees directly attributable to the Colomer Acquisition. The integration costs consist of non-restructuring costs related to the Company's integration of Colomer's operations into the Company's business. Integration costs incurred during 2014 primarily include employee-related costs related to management changes and audit-related fees. For 2013, integration costs primarily related to an impairment of in-progress capitalized software development costs as well as employee-related costs due to management changes.
Restructuring charges and other, net:
Integration Program
During 2014, the Company recorded charges totaling $20.1 million related to restructuring and related actions under the Integration Program, of which $18.9 million was recorded in restructuring charges and other, net, $0.6 million was recorded in cost of sales and $0.6 million was recorded in SG&A expenses.
For additional details on the Integration Program, please see "Overview - Recent Events - Integration Program."
Other Immaterial Restructuring Actions
During 2014, the Company recorded net charges totaling $2.7 million of restructuring and related charges, for other immaterial restructuring actions within the Consumer segment, due to $5.3 million of charges primarily related to employee-related costs, partially offset by a $2.6 million gain related to the sale of property, plant and equipment.
December 2013 Program
The Company recognized cumulative charges of $21.4 million on December 30, 2013 within income (loss) from discontinued operations, related to restructuring actions that included exiting its business operations in China, as well as implementing other immaterial restructuring actions outside the U.S. that are expected to generate other operating efficiencies (the "December 2013 Program"). In 2014, the Company revised its estimated charges for the December 2013 Program and decreased its restructuring and related charges by $2.5 million, for cumulative charges incurred through December 31, 2014 of $18.9 million. Of that $2.5 million decrease, $2.3 million related to the Company's exit of its business operations in China and was recorded within income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes. The remaining $0.2 million was recorded in restructuring charges and other, net within income from continuing operations, net of taxes.
The Company expects cash payments to total approximately $17 million related to the December 2013 Program, of which $15.5 million was paid during 2014, $0.1 million was paid in 2013, and the remaining balance of $1.4 million is expected to be paid during 2015.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The Company's 2014 results benefited by approximately $10 million of cost reductions realized from the December 2013 Program, with annualized cost reduction in the aggregate in 2015 and thereafter expected to be approximately $11 million.
September 2012 Program
During 2012, the Company recorded charges totaling $24.1 million related to a worldwide restructuring (the “September 2012 Program”), which primarily involved the Company exiting its owned manufacturing facility in France and its leased manufacturing facility in Maryland; rightsizing its organizations in France and Italy; and realigning its operations in Latin America, including consolidating Latin America and Canada into a single operating region, which became effective in the fourth quarter of 2012. Of the $24.1 million charge: (a) $20.7 million was recorded in restructuring charges and other, net; (b) $1.6 million was recorded as a reduction to net sales; (c) $1.2 million was recorded in cost of goods sold; and (d) $0.6 million was recorded in SG&A expenses.
During 2013, the Company recorded additional net charges of $3.1 million related to the September 2012 Program which was primarily due to $5.6 million of additional charges as a result of changes in estimates related to severance and other termination benefits, partially offset by a $2.5 million gain related to the July 2013 sale of the Company's manufacturing facility in France. Of the $3.1 million net charge, (a) $2.7 million was recorded in restructuring charges and other, net; (b) $0.2 million was recorded in cost of sales; and (c) $0.2 million was recorded in SG&A expenses.
No additional charges were recorded during 2014 as a result of the September 2012 Program.

The Company's results for 2014 and 2013 benefited from approximately $10 million and $7 million of cost reductions, respectively from the September 2012 Program.
For further discussion of the Integration Program, December 2013 Program and September 2012 Program, see Note 3, “Restructuring Charges,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
Interest expense:
The $10.6 million increase in interest expense in 2014, as compared to the prior year periods, is primarily due to higher average debt as a result of Products Corporation's Acquisition Term Loan that was used to fund the Colomer Acquisition, partially offset by lower weighted-average borrowing rates.
The $5.3 million decrease in interest expense in 2013, as compared to 2012, was primarily due to lower weighted-average borrowing rates as a result of the 2013 Senior Notes Refinancing and the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments (as hereinafter defined), partially offset by higher average debt primarily due to the Acquisition Term Loan. Refer to “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Long-Term Debt Instruments” for further discussion.
In accordance with the terms of the certificate of designation of Revlon, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock, during 2013 and 2012, Revlon, Inc. recognized $5.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the regular quarterly dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Revlon, Inc. consummated the mandatory redemption of such Series A Preferred Stock in October 2013.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt:
The Company recognized an aggregate loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million during 2014, primarily due to $1.1 million of fees and expenses which were expensed as incurred in connection with the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment, as well as the write-off of $0.8 million of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing fees as a result of such transaction. The remaining $0.1 million was related to the write-off of deferred financing costs in connection with the early repayment of the

(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Non-Contributed Loan. Refer to “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Long Term Debt Instruments" for further discussion.
The Company recognized an aggregate loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $29.7 million during 2013, primarily due to $20.4 million of fees and expenses which were expensed as incurred in connection with the 2013 Senior Notes Refinancing, February 2013 Term Loan Amendments (as hereinafter defined) and August 2013 Term Loan Amendments (as hereinafter defined), as well as the write-off of $9.3 million of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing fees as a result of the 2013 Senior Notes Refinancing and February 2013 Term Loan Amendments (as hereinafter defined). Refer to “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Long-Term Debt Instruments” for further discussion.
Foreign currency losses, net:
The increase in foreign currency losses, net, of $21.3 million during 2014, as compared to 2013, was primarily driven by:
•
the unfavorable impact of the revaluation of certain U.S. Dollar denominated intercompany payables during 2014, as compared to 2013; and
•
a $6.0 million foreign currency loss related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela's balance sheet during the second quarter of 2014.
The increase in foreign currency losses net, of $0.9 million during 2013, as compared to 2012, was primarily driven by:
•
the unfavorable impact of the revaluation of certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and U.S. dollar denominated payables from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries during 2013 as compared to 2012; and
•
a $0.6 million foreign currency loss related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela's balance sheet during the first quarter of 2013;
with the foregoing partially offset by:
•
a $2.2 million foreign currency gain for 2013 as compared to a $1.9 million foreign currency loss for 2012 related to the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts ("FX Contracts").
Provision for income taxes:
The provision for income taxes increased $31.8 million in 2014, as compared to 2013 primarily due to the loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized in 2013 and certain expenses related to the Colomer Acquisition, as well as the favorable resolution of tax matters in a foreign jurisdiction, each of which favorably affected the provision for income taxes in 2013 and each of which did not recur in 2014, increased pre-tax income and establishing a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets in the Professional segment in 2014, partially offset by the favorable impact of certain discrete items in 2014, including the favorable resolution of tax matters in certain jurisdictions and return-to-provision adjustments.
The provision for income taxes increased $2.3 million in 2013, as compared to 2012 primarily due to a non-cash benefit of $15.8 million in 2012 related to the reduction of the Company's deferred tax valuation allowance on certain of its net deferred tax assets for certain jurisdictions within the U.S. at December 31, 2012 as a result of the Company's improved earnings trends and cumulative taxable income in those jurisdictions. Excluding the non-cash benefit in 2012, the provision for income taxes in 2013 was lower than 2012 primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the favorable resolution of tax matters in a foreign jurisdiction in 2013, partially offset by certain favorable discrete items that benefited 2012 and which did not recur in 2013 and higher state and local taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefits.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The Company's effective tax rate for 2014 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local taxes, net of U.S federal income tax benefit, establishing a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets in the Professional segment, foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S. and foreign and U.S. tax effects attributable to operations outside the U.S.
The Company's effective tax rate for 2013 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to foreign dividends and earnings taxable in the U.S. and state and local taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefits, which were partially offset by foreign and U.S. tax effects attributable to operations outside the U.S.
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.
In assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, management regularly considers whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is generally dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Based on the level of historical losses for certain jurisdictions within the U.S., the Company had maintained a deferred tax valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had experienced improved earnings trends and had cumulative taxable income in such jurisdictions. As a result of such earnings trends and the Company’s tax position, and based upon the Company’s projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are recoverable, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize the benefits of certain of its net deferred tax assets existing at December 31, 2012 in those jurisdictions. Therefore, at December 31, 2012 the Company realized a non-cash benefit of $15.8 million related to a reduction of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance on certain of its net deferred tax assets for certain jurisdictions within the U.S. The Company reflected this benefit in the tax provision and this non-cash benefit increased net income at December 31, 2012, as discussed above.
See Note 16, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for further discussion of the above.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes:
Discontinued operations consist of the Company's operations in China within the Consumer segment. The decrease in loss from discontinued operations in 2014, as compared to 2013, was primarily due to restructuring charges of $20.0 million which were recorded in 2013 as a result of the December 2013 Program, as well as favorable adjustments of approximately $2.3 million to net sales, cost of sales and the restructuring reserve due to changes in estimated restructuring charges. The increase in the loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, in 2013 compared to 2012 was due to the aforementioned $20.0 million of restructuring and related charges for the December 2013 Program.
See Note 3, "Restructuring Charges" and Note 4, "Discontinued Operations" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for further discussion.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had a liquidity position of $435.7 million, consisting of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (net of any outstanding checks) of $269.7 million, as well as $166.0 million in available borrowings under the $175.0 million asset-based, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "Amended Revolving Credit Facility"), based upon the borrowing base less $9.0 million of undrawn outstanding letters of credit and nil then drawn under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility at such date.
The Company’s foreign operations held $78.1 million out of the total $269.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (net of any outstanding checks) as of December 31, 2014. The cash held by the Company’s foreign operations is primarily used to fund such operations. The Company regularly assesses its cash needs and the available sources of cash to fund these needs. As part of this assessment, the Company determines the amount of foreign earnings, if any, that it intends to repatriate to help fund its domestic cash needs, including for the Company’s debt service obligations, and pays applicable U.S. income and foreign

(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
withholding taxes, if any, on such earnings. The Company believes that the cash generated by its domestic operations and availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit should be sufficient to meet its domestic liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. Therefore, the Company does not currently anticipate that restrictions or taxes on repatriation of foreign earnings will have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity during such period.
Changes in Cash Flows
At December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $275.3 million, compared with $244.1 million at December 31, 2013. The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in 2014, 2013, and 2012:

Refer to "Long-Term Debt Instruments - 2013 Debt Transactions" below for the definition and further discussion of the debt instruments and related financing activities discussed above.
Cash Pooling Arrangement
Certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries utilize a cash pooling arrangement with a financial institution for cash management purposes. This cash pooling arrangement allows the Company's participating subsidiaries to withdraw cash from the financial institution to the extent that aggregate cash deposits held by the Company's participating subsidiaries are available at the financial institution. To the extent any participating location on an individual basis is in an overdraft position, such overdrafts would be recorded within short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and reflected as financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and the cash deposits held as collateral for such overdrafts would be classified as restricted cash within cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $3.4 million of such overdrafts recorded in short-term borrowings and $3.4 million of restricted cash recorded in cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Pursuant to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments, Products Corporation reduced the total aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan from $788.0 million to $675.0 million, using a portion of the proceeds from Products Corporation’s issuance of its 5¾% Senior Notes (see “2013 Senior Notes Refinancing” below), together with cash on hand. The February 2013 Term Loan Amendments also reduced the interest rates on the 2011 Term Loan such that Eurodollar Loans bore interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.00% per annum, with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 1.00% (compared to 3.50% and 1.25%, respectively, prior to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments), while Alternate Base Rate Loans bore interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%, with the Alternate Base Rate not to be less than 2.00% (compared to 2.50% and 2.25%, respectively, prior to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments) (and as each such term is defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement).
Pursuant to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments, Products Corporation, under certain circumstances, also has the right to request the 2011 Term Loan to be increased by up to the greater of (i) $300 million and (ii) an amount such that Products Corporation’s First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2011 Term Loan Agreement) does not exceed 3.50:1.00 (compared to $300 million prior to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments), provided that the lenders are not committed to provide any such increase.

The Acquisition Term Loan was issued on October 8, 2013 and Products Corporation used the net proceeds of $698.3 million as a source of funds to consummate the Colomer Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.
(iv) Amended Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2013, in connection with the Colomer Acquisition, Products Corporation consummated an amendment (the "August 2013 Revolver Amendment") to its third amended and restated revolving credit agreement dated June 16, 2011 (the "2011 Revolving Credit Agreement") which amended its $140.0 million asset-backed, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "2011 Revolving Credit Facility") to permit, among other things: (a) Products Corporation's consummation of the Colomer Acquisition; and (b) Products Corporation's incurring up to $700 million of the Acquisition Term Loan that Products Corporation used as a source of funds to consummate the Colomer Acquisition. Additionally, the August 2013 Revolver Amendment (1) reduced Products Corporation's interest rate spread over the LIBOR rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the facility from a range, based on availability, of 2.00% to 2.50%, to a range of 1.50% to 2.00%; (2) reduced the commitment fee on unused availability under the facility from 0.375% to 0.25%; and (3) extended the maturity of the facility, which was previously scheduled to mature in June 2016, to the earlier of (i) August 2018 or (ii) the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any term loans then outstanding under Products Corporation's bank term loan agreements, but not earlier than June 2016.

Under the terms of the December 2013 Revolver Amendment, the lenders' commitment to provide borrowings to Products Corporation and its subsidiary borrowers under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $140.0 million to $175.0 million.
2013 Senior Notes Refinancing
In February 2013, Products Corporation issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5¾% Senior Notes due February 15, 2021 (the “5¾% Senior Notes”) to investors at par. Products Corporation used $491.2 million of the net proceeds (net of underwriters' fees) from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes to repay and redeem all of the $330.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 9¾% Senior Secured Notes that were otherwise due November 2015 (the “9¾% Senior Secured Notes"), as well as to pay an aggregate of $28.0 million for the applicable redemption and tender offer premiums, accrued interest and related fees and expenses. Products Corporation used a portion of the remaining proceeds, together with existing cash, to pay approximately $113.0 million of principal on its 2011 Term Loan in conjunction with the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments. Products Corporation used the remaining balance available from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, debt reduction transactions, such as repaying to Revlon, Inc. at maturity on October 8, 2013 the Contributed Loan (as hereinafter defined), which Revlon, Inc. used to pay the liquidation preference of Revlon, Inc.'s Series A Preferred Stock in connection with its mandatory redemption of such stock on such date.

(b) Summary of Terms and Covenants
Amended Credit Agreements
The following is a summary description of the Amended Term Loan Facility, which includes the 2011 Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan, and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in the Amended Term Loan Agreement and/or the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreements"), as applicable. Investors should refer to the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement and/or the Amended Term Loan Agreement for complete terms and conditions, as these summary descriptions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions.
Amended Term Loan Facility
Under the Amended Term Loan Facility, as of December 31, 2014, Eurodollar Loans bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.5% per annum (with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 0.75%) and Alternate Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.50% (with the Alternate Base Rate not to be less than 1.75%).
The term loans under the Amended Term Loan Facility are required to be prepaid with:
(i) the net cash proceeds in excess of $10 million for each 12-month period ending on March 31 received during such period from sales of Term Loan First Lien Collateral by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiary guarantors with carryover of unused annual basket amounts up to a maximum of $25 million and with respect to certain specified dispositions up to an additional $25 million in the aggregate (subject to a reinvestment right for 365 days, or 545 days if the Company has within such 365-day period entered into a legally binding commitment to invest such funds);
(ii) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt; and
(iii) 50% of Products Corporation’s “excess cash flow” (as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement), commencing with excess cash flow for the 2014 fiscal year payable in the first 100 days of 2015.
The Amended Term Loan Facility contains a financial covenant limiting Products Corporation’s first lien senior secured leverage ratio (the ratio of Products Corporation’s senior secured debt that has a lien on the collateral which secures the Amended Term Loan Facility that is not junior or subordinated to the liens securing the Amended Term Loan Facility (excluding debt outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility)) to EBITDA, as each such term is defined in the Amended Term Loan Facility, to no more than 4.25 to 1.0 (pursuant to the August 2013 Term Loan Amendments) for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending during the period from June 30, 2011 to the maturity date of the Amended Term Loan Facility.
Products Corporation, under certain circumstances, also has the right to request the Amended Term Loan Facility to be increased by up to the greater of (i) $300 million and (ii) an amount such that Products Corporation’s First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement) does not exceed 3.50:1.00 (compared to $300 million prior to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments), provided that the lenders are not committed to provide any such increase. Such increase is in addition to the Acquisition Term Loan.
The $675.0 million 2011 Term Loan outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Facility matures on November 19, 2017. The $700.0 million Acquisition Term Loan under the Amended Term Loan Facility has the same terms as the 2011 Term Loan, except that: (i) it matures on the sixth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition Term Loan (or October 8, 2019); and (ii) it amortizes on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning March 31, 2014, in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of such Acquisition Term Loan.
As of December 31, 2014, Products Corporation is required to prepay, on or before April 10, 2015, $24.6 million of indebtedness under the Amended Term Loan Facility, representing 50% of its 2014 "excess cash flow" (as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement). The prepayment will be applied on a ratable basis between the principal amounts outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan. The amount of the prepayment to be applied to the 2011 Term Loan will be used to reduce the aggregate principal amount outstanding (as all amortization payments under the 2011 Term Loan have been paid), while the amount to be applied to the Acquisition Term Loan will be used to reduce Products Corporation's future regularly scheduled quarterly amortization payments under the Acquisition Term Loan on a ratable basis from $1.8 million prior to the prepayment to $1.7 million after giving effect to the prepayment and through its maturity on October 8, 2019.
Amended Revolving Credit Facility
Availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility varies based on a borrowing base that is determined by the value of eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory in the U.S. and the U.K. and eligible real property and equipment in the U.S. from time to time.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
In January 2014, Colomer's U.S.-domiciled subsidiaries (the “Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries”) became additional guarantors under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture. In connection with becoming guarantors, substantially all of the assets of the Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries were pledged as collateral under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, thereby increasing the value of the assets supporting the borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
If the value of the eligible assets is not sufficient to support the $175.0 million borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, Products Corporation will not have full access to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Products Corporation’s ability to borrow under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is also conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and Products Corporation’s compliance with other covenants in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.
In each case subject to borrowing base availability, the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is available to:
(i) Products Corporation in revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. Dollars;
(ii) Products Corporation in swing line loans denominated in U.S. Dollars up to $30.0 million;
(iii) Products Corporation in standby and commercial letters of credit denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies up to $60.0 million; and
(iv) Products Corporation and certain of its international subsidiaries designated from time to time in revolving credit loans and bankers’ acceptances denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies.
As a result of the August 2013 Revolver Amendment, under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, borrowings (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear interest, if made as Eurodollar Loans, at the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid below and, if made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid below.
Local Loans (as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement) bear interest, if mutually acceptable to Products Corporation and the relevant foreign lenders, at the Local Rate, and otherwise (i) if in foreign currencies or in U.S. Dollars at the Eurodollar Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid above or (ii) if in U.S. Dollars at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid above.
Prior to the termination date of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, revolving loans are required to be prepaid (without any permanent reduction in commitment) with:
(i) the net cash proceeds from sales of Revolving Credit First Lien Collateral by Products Corporation or any of Products Corporation’s subsidiary guarantors (other than dispositions in the ordinary course of business and certain other exceptions); and
(ii) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt, to the extent there remains any such proceeds after satisfying Products Corporation’s repayment obligations under the Amended Term Loan Facility.
As a result of the August 2013 Revolver Amendment, Products Corporation pays to the lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility a commitment fee of 0.25% of the average daily unused portion of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, which fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, Products Corporation also pays:
(i) to foreign lenders a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans (which fee is retained by foreign lenders out of the portion of the Applicable Margin payable to such foreign lender);
(ii) to foreign lenders an administrative fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans;
(iii) to the multi-currency lenders a letter of credit commission equal to the product of (a) the Applicable Margin for revolving credit loans that are Eurodollar Rate loans (adjusted for the term that the letter of credit is outstanding) and (b) the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit; and
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
(iv) to the issuing lender, a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit, which fee is a portion of the Applicable Margin.
As a result of the August 2013 Revolver Amendment, under certain circumstances, Products Corporation has the right to request that the Amended Revolving Credit Facility be increased by up to $100.0 million (compared to $60.0 million under the 2011 Revolving Credit Facility), provided that the lenders are not committed to provide any such increase.
Under certain circumstances, if and when the difference between (i) the borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the amounts outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is less than $20.0 million for a period of 2 consecutive days or more, and until such difference is equal to or greater than $20.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the Amended Revolving Credit Facility requires Products Corporation to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of EBITDA minus Capital Expenditures to Cash Interest Expense for such period) of a minimum of 1.0 to 1.0.
The Amended Revolving Credit Facility matures on the earlier of August 14, 2018 and the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any term loans then outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Facility, but not earlier than June 16, 2016.
Covenants and Defaults Applicable to the Amended Term Loan Facility and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility
The Amended Credit Agreements contain various restrictive covenants prohibiting Products Corporation and its subsidiaries from:
(i) incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees, with certain exceptions;
(ii) making dividend and other payments or loans to Revlon, Inc. or other affiliates, with certain exceptions, including among others:
(a) exceptions permitting Products Corporation to pay dividends or make other payments to Revlon, Inc. to enable it to, among other things, pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal, accounting and insurance fees, regulatory fees, such as SEC filing fees and NYSE listing fees, and other expenses related to being a public holding company;
(b) subject to certain circumstances, to finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan and/or the payment of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under such plan;
(c) subject to certain limitations, to pay dividends or make other payments to finance the purchase, redemption or other retirement for value by Revlon, Inc. of stock or other equity interests or equivalents in Revlon, Inc. held by any current or former director, employee or consultant in his or her capacity as such; and
(d) subject to certain limitations, to make other restricted payments to Products Corporation’s affiliates in an amount up to $10 million per year (plus $10 million for each calendar year commencing with 2011), other restricted payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35 million and certain other restricted payments, including without limitation those based upon certain financial tests;
(iii) creating liens or other encumbrances on Products Corporation’s or its subsidiaries’ assets or revenues, granting negative pledges or selling or transferring any of Products Corporation’s or its subsidiaries’ assets, all subject to certain limited exceptions;
(iv) with certain exceptions, engaging in merger or acquisition transactions;
(v) prepaying indebtedness and modifying the terms of certain indebtedness and specified material contractual obligations, subject to certain exceptions;
(vi) making investments, subject to certain exceptions; and
(vii) entering into transactions with Products Corporation’s affiliates involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10 million other than upon terms that are not materially less favorable when taken as a whole to Products Corporation or its subsidiaries as terms that would be obtainable at the time for a comparable transaction or series of similar transactions in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third person and where such payments or consideration exceed $20 million, unless such transaction has been approved by all of Products Corporation’s independent directors, subject to certain exceptions.

The events of default under each of the Amended Term Loan Agreement and the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement include customary events of default for such types of agreements. For a description of the events of defaults, see Note 11, "Long-Term Debt" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K. If Products Corporation is in default under the senior secured leverage ratio under the Amended Term Loan Facility or the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, Products Corporation may cure such default by issuing certain equity securities to, or receiving capital contributions from, Revlon, Inc. and applying such cash which is deemed to increase EBITDA for the purpose of calculating the applicable ratio. Products Corporation may exercise this cure right two times in any four-quarter period.
Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Amended Term Loan Agreement and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan and the 2011 Term Loan were $693.0 million and $675.0 million, respectively, and availability under the $175.0 million Amended Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the calculated borrowing base less $9.0 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit and nil then drawn on the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, was $166.0 million. There were no borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility during 2014.
5¾% Senior Notes
In February 2013, Products Corporation completed its offering (the "2013 Senior Notes Refinancing"), pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the "Securities Act"), of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes. The 5¾% Senior Notes are unsecured and were issued under the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture to investors at par. The 5¾% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2021. Interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes accrues at 5¾% per annum, paid every six months on February 15th and August 15th, with the first interest payment made on August 15, 2013 (subject to the payment of certain additional interest in connection with registering the notes under the Securities Act). The 5¾% Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Notes Closing Date”), by and among Products Corporation, Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), which also currently guarantee Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Guarantors issued guarantees (the “Guarantees”) of Products Corporation’s obligations under the 5¾% Senior Notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture on a joint and several, senior unsecured basis. In January 2014, the Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries became additional guarantors under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture.
In December 2013, Products Corporation consummated an offer to exchange the original 5¾% Senior Notes for $500 million of new 5¾% Senior Notes, which have substantially the same terms as the original 5¾% Senior Notes, except that they are registered under the Securities Act (such registered new notes being the “5¾% Senior Notes”).
Products Corporation used a portion of the $491.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes (net of underwriters' fees) to repay and redeem all of the $330.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 9¾% Senior Secured Notes, as well as to pay $8.6 million of accrued interest. Products Corporation incurred an aggregate of $19.4 million of fees for the applicable redemption and tender offer premiums, related fees and expenses in connection with redemption and repayment of the 9¾% Senior Secured Notes and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes. Products Corporation used a portion of the remaining proceeds from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes, together with existing cash, to pay approximately $113.0 million of principal on its 2011 Term Loan in conjunction with the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments. Products Corporation used the remaining balance available from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, debt reduction transactions, such as repaying to Revlon, Inc. at maturity on October 8, 2013 the Contributed Loan, which Revlon, Inc. used to pay the liquidation preference of Revlon, Inc.'s Series A Preferred Stock in connection with its mandatory redemption on such date.
Ranking
The 5¾% Senior Notes are Products Corporation’s unsubordinated, unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of Products Corporation and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of Products Corporation. Similarly, each Guarantee is the relevant Guarantor’s joint and several, unsubordinated and unsecured obligation and ranks senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of such Guarantor and ranks pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of such Guarantor. The Guarantees were issued on a joint and several basis.
The 5¾% Senior Notes and the Guarantees rank effectively junior to Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, which are secured, as well as indebtedness and preferred stock of Products Corporation’s foreign and immaterial subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”), none of which guarantee the 5¾% Senior Notes.

Optional Redemption
On and after February 15, 2016, the 5¾% Senior Notes may be redeemed at Products Corporation's 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 the date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 15th of the years indicated below:
Products Corporation may redeem the 5¾% Senior Notes at its option at any time or from time to time prior to February 15, 2016, as a whole or in part, at a redemption price per 5¾% Senior Note equal to the sum of (1) the then outstanding principal amount thereof, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption, plus (3) the applicable premium based on the applicable treasury rate plus 75 basis points.
Prior to February 15, 2016, Products Corporation may, from time to time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes and any additional notes with, and to the extent Products Corporation actually receives, the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings from time to time, at 105.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
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 5¾% Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes as of the date of any such repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
Certain Covenants
The 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture limits Products Corporation’s and the Guarantors’ ability, and the ability of certain other subsidiaries, to:
•
incur or guarantee additional indebtedness (“Limitation on Debt”);
•
pay dividends, make repayments on indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the 5¾% Senior Notes and make other “restricted payments” (“Limitation on Restricted Payments”);
•
make certain investments;
•
create liens on their assets to secure debt;
•
enter into transactions with affiliates;
•
merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another company (“Successor Company”);
•
transfer and sell assets (“Limitation on Asset Sales”); and
•
permit restrictions on the payment of dividends by Products Corporation’s subsidiaries (“Limitation on Dividends from Subsidiaries”).
These covenants are subject to important qualifications and exceptions. The 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture also contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.
In addition, if during any period of time the 5¾% 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 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, Products Corporation and its subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants on Limitation on Debt, Limitation on Restricted Payments, Limitation on Asset Sales, Limitation on Dividends from Subsidiaries and certain provisions of the Successor Company covenant.
Covenants
Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Spanish Government Loan
In connection with the Colomer Acquisition, the Company acquired the Colomer Group's euro-denominated loan payable to the Spanish government (the "Spanish Government Loan"), which loan had $0.7 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2014 (based on foreign exchange rates in effect as of such date). The Spanish Government Loan does not bear interest and is payable in 10 equal installments on June 30th of each year beginning in 2016 through 2025.
Impact of Foreign Currency Translation - Venezuela
During 2014, 2013 and 2012, Revlon Venezuela's net sales were de minimis, representing approximately 1% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for each of 2014 and 2013, and 2% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for 2012. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Revlon Venezuela's assets were de minimis, representing approximately 1% of the Company’s total assets, respectively.
Venezuela - Highly-Inflationary Economy: Effective January 1, 2010, Venezuela was designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, beginning January 1, 2010, the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiary in Venezuela (“Revlon Venezuela”). As Venezuela is designated as highly inflationary, currency translation adjustments of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet are reflected in earnings.
Venezuela - Currency Restrictions: Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government which began in 2003 became more restrictive and have impacted Revlon Venezuela’s ability to obtain U.S. Dollars in exchange for Venezuelan Bolivars ("Bolivars") at the official foreign exchange rates from the Venezuelan government and its foreign exchange commission, the Comisión de Administracion de Divisas (“CADIVI”). In May 2010, the Venezuelan government took control over the previously freely-traded foreign currency exchange market and, in June 2010, replaced it with a new foreign currency exchange system, the Sistema de Transacciones en Moneda Extranjera (“SITME”). In the second quarter of 2011, the Company began using a SITME rate of 5.5 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements, as this was the rate at which the Company accessed U.S. Dollars in the SITME market during this period (the “SITME Rate”). Through December 31, 2012, the Company continued using the SITME Rate to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements.
Venezuela - 2013 Currency Devaluation: In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of the Venezuela Bolivar relative to the U.S. Dollar, changing the official exchange rate to 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the "Official Rate"). The Venezuelan government also announced that the SITME currency market administered by Venezuela's central bank would be eliminated, and as a result, the Company began using the Official Rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning in 2013. To reflect the impact of the currency devaluation, a one-time foreign currency loss of $0.6 million was recorded in earnings during the first quarter of 2013 as a result of the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities.
Venezuela - 2014 Currency Devaluation: In January 2014, the Venezuela government announced that the CADIVI would be replaced by the government-operated National Center of Foreign Commerce (the "CENCOEX"), and indicated that the Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas (“SICAD”) market would continue to be offered as an alternative foreign currency exchange. Additionally, a parallel foreign currency exchange system, SICAD II, started functioning in March 2014 and allows companies to apply for the purchase of foreign currency and foreign currency denominated securities for any legal use or purpose. The SICAD II exchange system has had an average transaction rate to the Company of approximately 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “SICAD II Rate”). Throughout 2014, the Company exchanged Bolivars for U.S. Dollars to the extent permitted through the various foreign currency markets available based on its ability to participate in those markets. Prior to June 30, 2014, the Company utilized the Official Rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar. Following a consideration of the Company's specific facts and circumstances, which included its legal ability and intent to participate in the SICAD II exchange market to import finished goods into Venezuela, the Company determined that it was appropriate to utilize the SICAD II Rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning on June 30, 2014. As a result, the Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities. For 2014, the change to the SICAD II Rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, as compared to the Official Rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, had the impact of reducing the Company's consolidated net sales by $16.2 million and reducing the Company's consolidated operating income by $8.4 million.
Volume restrictions on the conversion of the Bolivar to the U.S. Dollar limits Revlon’s purchasing activity for Venezuela. The use of the SICAD II Rate in lieu of the Official Rate to translate Revlon Venezuela's financial statements will have a negative impact on Revlon Venezuela's results of operations going forward. Current or additional governmental restrictions, worsening import authorization controls, price and profit controls or labor unrest in Venezuela could have further adverse impacts on the Company’s business and results of operations in Venezuela. See Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" - “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 fluctuations, currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls, which could have a material adverse effect

(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
on the results of the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations and the value of its foreign assets” in this Form 10-K.
Sources and Uses
The Company’s principal sources of funds are expected to be operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit. The Amended Credit Agreements, and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture contain certain provisions that by their terms limit Products Corporation and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional debt.
The Company’s principal uses of funds are expected to be the payment of operating expenses, including expenses in connection with the continued execution of the Company’s business strategy, purchases 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, costs related to the continuing integration of the Colomer Acquisition, severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, debt and/or equity repurchases, if any, costs related to litigation and payments in connection with discontinuing non-core business lines and/or exiting certain territories. The Company’s cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans in 2014 were $18.9 million. The Company expects cash contributions to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans to be approximately $20 million in the aggregate for 2015. The Company’s cash taxes paid in 2014 were $21.1 million. The Company expects to pay cash taxes of approximately $20 million in the aggregate for 2015. The Company’s purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures in 2014 were $45.3 million and $55.5 million, respectively. The Company expects purchases of permanent wall displays and capital expenditures to be approximately $50 million and $55 million, respectively, in the aggregate for 2015. In 2014, the Company paid total cash for its discontinued operations in China of approximately $13 million, which is in addition to restructuring cash payments for the December 2013 Program.
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.
Continuing to execute the Company’s business strategy 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, 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, including optimizing the integration of the Colomer Acquisition. The Company plans to continue to integrate the operations of Colomer into the Company’s business and expects to achieve approximately $30.0 million to $35.0 million of annualized cost reductions by the end of 2015 (approximately $17.0 million of which benefited the Company's 2014 results) at a cost of approximately $50 million in the aggregate over 2013 through 2015. 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 cash on hand, funds available under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility 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, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise and may seek to refinance some or all of its indebtedness based upon market conditions. Any 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.
The Company expects that operating revenues, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and other permitted lines of credit will be sufficient to enable the Company to pay its operating expenses for 2015, including expenses in connection with the execution of the Company’s business strategy, purchases of permanent wall displays, capital expenditure requirements, debt service payments and costs, tax payments, pension and other post-retirement plan contributions, payments in connection with the Company’s restructuring programs, integration costs related to the Colomer Acquisition, severance not otherwise included in the Company’s restructuring programs, debt and/or equity repurchases, if any, and costs related to litigation.
There can be no assurance that available funds will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements on a consolidated basis. 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 care products in either the Consumer or
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Professional segment; adverse changes in currency exchange rates, 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; changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to shopping channels; inventory management by the Company's customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; changes in pricing 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 and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for restructuring costs, acquisition and integration costs (including, without limitation, costs related to the continued integration of the Colomer Acquisition), costs related to litigation, 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 covenants under the Amended Credit Agreements and in such event the Company could be required to take measures, including, among other things, reducing discretionary spending. (See 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 financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations" and certain other risk factors discussing certain risks associated with the company's business and indebtedness).
Derivative Financial Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
Products Corporation enters into FX Contracts and option contracts from time to time to hedge certain net cash flows denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations. The FX Contracts are entered into primarily for the purpose of hedging anticipated inventory purchases and certain intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year. At December 31, 2014, the FX Contracts outstanding had a notional amount of $7.6 million and a net asset fair value of $0.2 million.
Interest Rate Swap Transaction
In November 2013, Products Corporation executed a forward-starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction with a 1.00% floor, based on a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under the Acquisition Term Loan over a period of three years. The Company designated the 2013 Interest Rate Swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to its Acquisition Term Loan with respect to the $400 million notional amount over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap. Under the terms of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, Products Corporation will receive from the counterparty a floating interest rate based on the higher of three-month USD LIBOR or 1.00% commencing in May 2015, while paying a fixed interest rate payment to the counterparty equal to 2.0709% (which effectively fixes the interest rate on such notional amount at 5.0709% over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap). For the year ended December 31, 2014, the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was deemed effective and therefore the changes in fair value related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap have been recorded in Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of the Company's 2013 Interest Rate Swap at December 31, 2014 was a liability of $3.5 million.
Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties is limited to the gross fair value of the derivative instruments in asset positions, which totaled $0.2 million and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company attempts to minimize exposure to credit risk by generally entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings and are major financial institutions. The Company also periodically monitors any changes in the credit ratings of its counterparties. Given the current credit standing of the counterparties to the Company's derivative instrument, the Company believes the risk of loss arising from any non-performance by any of the counterparties under these derivative instruments is remote.

Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The following table aggregates all contractual obligations and commercial commitments that affect the Company's financial condition and liquidity position as of December 31, 2014:
(a)
Consists primarily of (i) the 675.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan as of December 31, 2014; (ii) the 693.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan as of December 31, 2014; and (iii) the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 5¾% Senior Notes as of December 31, 2014.
(b)

(c)
Included in the obligations for operating leases as of December 31, 2014 is the lease for the Company's new headquarters in New York City, which includes minimum lease payments in the aggregate of approximately $70 million over the 15-year term.
(d)
Consists of purchase commitments for finished goods, raw materials, components and services pursuant to enforceable and legally binding obligations which include all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transactions.
(e)
Consists primarily of media and advertising contracts, pension funding obligations (amount due within one year only, as subsequent pension funding obligation amounts cannot be reasonably estimated since the return on pension assets in future periods, as well as future pension assumptions, are not known), software licensing agreements and obligations related to third-party warehousing and distribution services. Such amounts exclude employment agreements, severance and other immaterial contractual commitments, which severance and other contractual commitments related to restructuring activities are discussed in Note 3, “Restructuring Charges,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this 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. 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.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical experience and ongoing evaluations of the Company’s receivables and evaluations of the risks of payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against trade receivable
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
balances when they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income when received.
Sales Returns:
The Company allows customers, primarily within its Consumer segment, 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, the Company’s estimates of sales returns based primarily upon historical returns experience, planned product discontinuances and promotional sales, which would permit customers to return items 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 returns, if economic conditions differ significantly from the Company’s estimates and expectations.
Trade Support Costs:
In order to support the retail trade, the Company has various performance-based arrangements with retailers to reimburse them for all or a portion of their promotional activities related to the Company's products. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, estimates of costs to the Company for these promotions based on estimates of what has been incurred by the retailers. Actual costs incurred by the Company may differ significantly if factors such as the level and success of the retailers' programs, as well as retailer participation levels, differ from the Company's estimates and expectations.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is principally determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company records adjustments to the value of inventory based upon its forecasted plans to sell its inventories, as well as planned 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, return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company's estimates and expectations.
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 selected a weighted-average discount rate of 3.89% in 2014 as compared to a discount rate 4.68% in 2013 for the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The Company selected a weighted-average discount rate for the Company’s international defined benefit pension plans of 3.74% in 2014, representing a decrease from the 4.48% weighted-average discount rate selected in 2013. 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 2014 were primarily due to observed decreases in long-term interest yields on high-quality corporate bonds during 2014. At December 31, 2014, the decrease in the discount rates from December 31, 2013 had the effect of increasing the Company’s projected pension benefit obligation by approximately $55 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 income. Those gains or losses that are subject to amortization over future periods will be recognized as a component of the net periodic benefit cost in such future periods. For the Company’s U.S. defined
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
benefit pension plans, the expected long-term rate of return on the pension plan assets used was 7.75% for both 2014 and 2013. The weighted average expected long-term rate of return used for the Company’s international plans was 6.00% for both 2014 and 2013. For 2014, the Company's pension plans had actual return on assets of $37.6 million, as compared with expected return on assets of $41.3 million. The resulting net deferred loss of $3.7 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 was below expectations, primarily related to the Company's U.S. plan assets, due to lower returns in developed equity markets.
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 2014 net periodic benefit costs and its projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2014 for the Company’s principal defined benefit pension plans, with all other assumptions remaining constant:
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 both 2014 and 2013 was 3.0% for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans, excluding the 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 which effectively froze the 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 2015 net periodic benefit income/cost, the Company is using weighted-average discount rates of 3.89% and 3.74% and long-term rates of return on pension plan assets of 7.5% and 6.00% for its U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans, respectively. The Company expects that the aforementioned decrease in the discount rate and the actual return on plan assets in 2015 will result in net periodic benefit income of approximately $3 million for 2015, as compared to net periodic benefit income of $5.4 million in 2014.
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 an evaluation of 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, the selection of appropriate discount rates, hypothetical royalty rates, contributory asset capital charges, estimating the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and identification of 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 an evaluation of 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 five to 20 years.
Goodwill totaled $464.1 million and $472.3 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, goodwill of $246.2 million and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $101.3 million, which were acquired in connection with the 2013 Colomer Acquisition, are included within the Professional segment. The Consumer segment had goodwill of $217.9 million at December 31, 2014.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but rather are reviewed annually for impairment using September 30th carrying values, or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the current carrying amounts may not be recovered. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to any such excess. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level.
Due to the financial performance of the Professional segment since the Colomer Acquisition in October 2013, the negative equity of the Consumer segment and the Company's current market capitalization, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it would be necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test and to assess the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment. For both 2014 and 2013, it was determined, based on the results of the qualitative analysis, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each of the Company's reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying amounts. The Company did not record any impairment of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012. As of December 31, 2014, there were no significant events since the timing of the Company’s annual impairment test that would have triggered additional impairment testing.
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 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 has established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets when management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize a tax benefit. In 2012, the Company recognized a non-cash benefit of $15.8 million related to a reduction of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance on certain of its net deferred tax assets for certain jurisdictions within the U.S. 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 (benefit from) income taxes,” for further discussion.
The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the merits of such position.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, “Accounting for Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date,” which requires an entity to record an obligation resulting from joint and several liability arrangements at the greater of the amount that the entity has agreed to pay or the amount the entity expects to pay. Additional disclosures about joint and several liability arrangements is also required. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-04 on January 1, 2014, and is required to be applied retrospectively for obligations that existed at this date. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or financial statement disclosures.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters: Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” which clarifies the applicable guidance for a parent company's accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-05 on January 1, 2014 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or financial statement disclosures.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations Topic 805, Pushdown Accounting." The new standard eliminates previous pushdown accounting requirements and provides the option to apply pushdown accounting in separate financial statements upon a change-in-control event. The election is available to the acquired company, as well as to any direct or indirect subsidiaries of the acquired company. Each acquired company or any of its subsidiaries can make its own election independently. The new standard is effective immediately for all new change-in-control events or those occurring in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Accordingly, a company can make an election regarding pushdown accounting
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
for a change-in-control event that occurred in any open financial reporting period. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-17 upon its issuance did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or financial statement disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations under Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") Topic 205. Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment or (iv) other major parts of an entity. ASU No. 2014-08 no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if (i) there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations or (ii) there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. Additional disclosures about discontinued operations will also be required. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and is to be applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-08 on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2015 and the Company will assess the impact that the new standard will have on the Company's results of operation, financial condition and financial statement disclosures at the time a transaction for which the standard is applicable occurs.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The core principle of the new ASU No. 2014-09 is for companies to recognize revenue from the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 beginning January 1, 2017 and the Company is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" that will explicitly require management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. According to the new standard, substantial doubt exists if it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations within one year after the issuance date. The likelihood threshold of "probable," similar to its current use in U.S. GAAP for loss contingencies, will be used to define substantial doubt. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt, including whether and how management's plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption prohibited. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2014-15 beginning January 1, 2016 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.
Inflation
The Company's costs are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation may be experienced by the Company in future periods. Management believes, however, that such effects have not been material to the Company during the past three years in the U.S. and in foreign non-hyperinflationary countries. The Company operates in certain countries around the world, such as Argentina and Venezuela, which have experienced hyperinflation. 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.
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company determined that the Venezuelan economy should be considered a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP based upon a blended inflation index of the Venezuelan National Consumer Price Index (“NCPI”) and the Venezuelan Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). (See “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Impact of Foreign Currency Translation - Venezuela” for details regarding the designation of Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy effective January 1, 2010, the Venezuelan government’s announcement of the devaluation of its local currency on February 8, 2013, and the impact to the Company of the designation of the Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas (“SICAD”) market as an alternative foreign currency exchange.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 7A.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The Company has exposure to changing interest rates primarily under the Amended Term Loan Facility and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. The Company manages interest rate risk through a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. The Company from time to time makes use of derivative financial instruments to adjust its fixed and floating rate ratio, such as the 2013 Interest Rate Swap referenced below. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
The table below provides information about the Company's indebtedness as of December 31, 2014 that is sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents cash flows with respect to principal on indebtedness and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the U.S. Dollar LIBOR yield curve at December 31, 2014. The information is presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, which is the Company's reporting currency:
(a)
Weighted average variable rates are based upon implied forward rates from the U.S. Dollar LIBOR and Euribor yield curves at December 31, 2014.
(b)
Includes total quarterly amortization payments required within each year under the Acquisition Term Loan, as well as the required $24.6 million “excess cash flow” prepayment to be made on or before April 10, 2015 under the Amended Term Loan Agreement. The 2017 amount includes the aggregate principal amount expected to be outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan which matures on November 19, 2017 and the 2019 amount includes the aggregate principal amount expected to be outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan assuming a maturity date of October 9, 2019, in each case after giving effect to amortization payments and the excess cash flow prepayment.
(c)
At December 31, 2014, the Acquisition Term Loan bears interest at the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement) plus 3.00% per annum (with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 1.00%). As a result of the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment, the 2011 Term Loan bears interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.5% per annum (with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 0.75%). For discussion of the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment, which reduced interest rates on the 2011 Term Loan, refer to Note 11, "Long-Term Debt," to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K.
If any of LIBOR, Euribor, the base rate, the U.S. federal funds rate or such equivalent local currency 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 Amended Credit Agreements, 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, 2014, an increase in both LIBOR and Euribor of 1% would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by $13.9 million.
In November 2013, Products Corporation executed the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, which is a forward-starting, floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction with a 1.00% floor, based on a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under the Acquisition Term Loan over a period of three years. The Company designated the 2013 Interest Rate Swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to its Acquisition Term Loan with respect to
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
the $400 million notional amount over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap. Under the terms of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, Products Corporation will receive from the counterparty a floating interest rate based on the higher of three-month USD LIBOR or 1.00% commencing in May 2015, while paying a fixed interest rate payment to the counterparty equal to 2.0709% (which effectively fixes the interest rate on such notional amounts at 5.0709% over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap). The fair value of the Company's 2013 Interest Rate Swap at December 31, 2014 was a liability of $3.5 million.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
The Company manufactures and sells its products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, a portion of the Company's borrowings are denominated in foreign currencies, which are also subject to market risk associated with exchange rate movement. The Company from time to time hedges major foreign currency cash exposures through foreign exchange forward and option contracts. Products Corporation enters into these contracts with major financial institutions in an attempt to minimize counterparty risk. These contracts generally have a duration of less than twelve months and are primarily against the U.S. Dollar. In addition, Products Corporation enters into foreign currency swaps to hedge intercompany financing transactions. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) 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. 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 year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(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 was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of its assets;
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
•
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that its receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and
•
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.
Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements due to its inherent limitations. 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.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 and in making this assessment used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in the 1992 Internal Control-Integrated Framework in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Revlon, Inc.'s management determined that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.
KPMG LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014, has issued a report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page.
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as other public documents and statements of the Company, contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, which 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 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 and estimates (whether qualitative or quantitative) as to:
(i)
the Company's future financial performance;
(ii)
the effect on sales of decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the consumption of beauty care products in either the Consumer or Professional segment; adverse changes in currency exchange rates, 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, changes in consumer purchasing habits, including with respect to shopping channels; inventory management by the Company's customers; space reconfigurations or reductions in display space by the Company's customers; changes in pricing 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 and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for pension expense under its benefit plans, acquisition-related integration costs (including, without limitation, costs related to the continued integration of the Colomer Acquisition), costs related to litigation, 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 the continued execution of its business strategy 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, 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, including optimizing the integration of the Colomer Acquisition (including the Company’s plans to continue to integrate the operations of Colomer into the

(v)
the effect of restructuring activities, restructuring costs and charges, the timing of restructuring payments and the benefits from such activities; including, without limitation, the Company’s expectation (i) that total restructuring and related charges related to the Integration Program will be approximately $25 million, with $20.1 million of charges recognized during 2014 and any remaining charges to be recognized in 2015; (ii) that cash payments related to the restructuring and related charges in connection with the Integration Program will total approximately $24 million, of which $9.6 million was paid in 2014 and the majority of the remaining balance is expected to be paid in 2015; (iii) that total restructuring and related charges under the December 2013 Program will be approximately $18.9 million; (iv) that cash payments will total approximately $17 million related to the December 2013 Program, of which $15.5 million was paid during 2014, $0.1 million was paid in 2013, and the remaining balance of $1.4 million is expected to be paid in 2015; (v) that total cash paid for its discontinued operations in China will be approximately $13 million, which is in addition to restructuring cash payments for the December 2013 Program; (vi) that annualized cost reductions related to the December 2013 Program will be approximately $11 million in the aggregate in 2015 and thereafter; and (vii) that the Company expects to substantially complete the Integration Program by the end of 2015;

(xiv)
the Company’s belief that while 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, financial condition and/or its results of operations, 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;

the Company's plans in connection with continuing to integrate Colomer into the Company's business and to implement a company-wide, SAP ERP system.
Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language such as "estimates," "objectives," "visions," "projects," "forecasts," "focus," "drive towards," "plans," "targets," "strategies," "opportunities," "assumptions," "drivers," "believes," "intends," "outlooks," "initiatives," "expects," "scheduled to," "anticipates," "seeks," "may," "will" or "should" or the negative of those terms, or other variations of those terms or comparable language, or by discussions of strategies, targets, long-range plans, models or intentions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and except for the Company's ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Investors are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures the Company made or may make in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, in each case filed with the SEC in 2015 and 2014 (which, among other places, can be found on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company's corporate website at www.revloninc.com). Except as expressly set forth in this Form 10-K, the information available from time to time on such websites shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. In addition to factors that may be described in the Company's filings with the SEC, including this filing, the following factors, among others, could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the Company:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Revlon, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as listed on page. These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 12, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Revlon, Inc.:
We have audited Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries’ 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 conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 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.
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.
In our opinion, Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Revlon, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, and our report dated March 12, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revlon, Inc. (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, Inc. is a direct and indirect majority-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated (together with certain of its affiliates other than the Company, "MacAndrews & Forbes"), a corporation wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman. The Company’s vision is to establish Revlon as the quintessential and most innovative beauty company in the world by offering products that make consumers feel attractive and beautiful. We want to inspire our consumers to express themselves boldly and confidently. The Company operates in two segments, the consumer division (“Consumer”) and the professional division (“Professional”), and manufactures, markets and sells worldwide an extensive array of beauty and personal care products, including cosmetics, hair color, hair care and hair treatments, beauty tools, men's grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants, fragrances, skincare and other beauty care products. The Company’s principal customers for its products in the Consumer segment include large mass volume retailers and chain drug and food stores (collectively, the “mass retail channel”) in the U.S. and internationally, as well as certain department stores and other specialty stores, such as perfumeries, outside the U.S. The Company's principal customers for its products in the Professional segment include hair and nail salons and distributors in the U.S. and internationally.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company mean Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Revlon, Inc., 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 2014, 2013 and 2012 included $9.8 million, $8.1 million and $19.3 million, respectively, in expenses incidental to being a public holding company.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company after the elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The preparation of 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, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, expected sales returns and allowances, trade support costs, certain assumptions related to the valuation of acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of intangible and long-lived assets, income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities, restructuring costs, 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.
Immaterial Correction - Presentation of Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013
Deferred income taxes - noncurrent, which represented the Company's noncurrent deferred tax assets, and other long-term liabilities, which include the Company's noncurrent deferred tax liabilities, as of December 31, 2013 were retrospectively corrected in the second quarter of 2014 to reflect the Consumer and Professional U.S. entities as one tax-paying component, as well as to appropriately reflect offsetting noncurrent deferred tax assets and noncurrent deferred tax liabilities within other Professional entities. The Company has deemed the correction to be immaterial as there was no impact to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficiency for any period, and there are no qualitative factors which would indicate that the change is material. This immaterial correction decreased deferred income taxes - noncurrent and other long-term liabilities, as of December 31, 2013, to $65.7 million and $80.1 million, respectively, as reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, from the previously reported amounts of $179.6 million and $194.0 million, respectively.
Discontinued Operations Presentation
As a result of the Company's decision on December 30, 2013 to exit its business operations in China, the Company has reported the results of its China operations within income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for all periods presented. See Note 4, "Discontinued Operations," for further discussion.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash equivalents are primarily investments in high-quality, short-term money market instruments with original maturities of three months or less and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents were $6.3 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Accounts payable includes $2.2 million and $6.4 million of outstanding checks not yet presented for payment at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries utilize a cash pooling arrangement with a financial institution for cash management purposes. This cash pooling arrangement allows the participating entities to withdraw cash from the financial institution to the extent aggregate cash deposits held by its participating locations are available at the financial institution. To the extent any participating location on an individual basis is in an overdraft position, such overdrafts would be recorded within short-term borrowings in the consolidated balance sheet and reflected as financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows, and the cash deposits held as collateral for such overdrafts would be classified as restricted cash within cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $3.4 million of such overdrafts recorded in short-term borrowings and $3.4 million of restricted cash recorded in cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 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 allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical experience and ongoing evaluations of the Company's receivables and evaluations of the risks of payment. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded against trade receivable balances when they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously reserved are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income when received. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company's three largest customers accounted for an aggregate of approximately 31% and 30%, respectively, of outstanding trade receivables.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is principally determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company records adjustments to the value of inventory based upon its forecasted plans to sell its inventories, as well as planned product discontinuances. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing the valuation.
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; office furniture and fixtures, 3 to 15 years; and capitalized software, 2 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements and building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the terms of the leases or remaining life of the original structure, respectively, whichever is shorter. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized. See Note 7, “Property, Plant and Equipment, Net” for further discussion of the above.
Included in other assets are permanent wall displays amounting to $63.3 million and $62.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are amortized generally over a period of 1 to 5 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 $42.5 million, $39.2 million and $36.0 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company has also included, in other assets, net deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the Company’s debt instruments amounting to $26.9 million and $32.5 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments using the effective-interest method.
Long-lived assets, including 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. In connection with integrating Colomer into the Company's business, the Company determined it would implement a company-wide, SAP enterprise resource planning system. As a result, the Company recognized a $5.9 million impairment charge related to in-progress capitalized software development costs during the year ended

December 31, 2013 which was included as a component of acquisition and integration costs for 2013 in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. There were no significant impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Goodwill:
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price for businesses acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is reviewed annually for impairment at the reporting unit level using September 30th carrying values, or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s carrying amount may not be recovered. For the 2014 and 2013 annual impairment tests, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it would be necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company did not record any impairment of goodwill during 2014, 2013 or 2012. As of December 31, 2014, there have been no significant events since the timing of the Company’s annual impairment test that would have triggered additional impairment testing. See Note 2, “Business Combinations” and Note 8, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” for further discussion of the Company's goodwill.
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 on September 30th, similar to goodwill, and an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset. 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 upon certain “triggering events” and an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds the estimate of undiscounted future cash flows. There was no impairment of intangible assets in 2014, 2013 and 2012. See Note 2, “Business Combinations” and Note 8, “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's policy is to recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company records revenue from the sale of its products when risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less expected 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. These incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive.
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. The Company records sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales, and an increase to 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 considered by the Company in estimating their realizable value.
Revenues derived from licensing arrangements, including any pre-payments, are recognized in the period in which they are earned, but not before the initial license term commences.
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 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 any free products included as sales and promotional incentives. These incentive costs are recognized on the later of the date that the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive.

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 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 which 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 $383.2 million, $278.5 million and $252.6 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 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, such as freight and handling costs, associated with product distribution are recorded within SG&A expenses when incurred. Distribution costs were $84.9 million, $66.5 million and $61.1 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Income Taxes:
Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured 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 effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
Research and Development:
Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred and included within SG&A expenses. The amounts charged in 2014, 2013 and 2012 for research and development expenditures were $31.6 million, $26.9 million and $24.2 million, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation:
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations 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.
Venezuela - Highly-Inflationary Economy: Effective January 1, 2010, Venezuela was designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, beginning January 1, 2010, the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiary in Venezuela (“Revlon Venezuela”). As Venezuela is designated as highly inflationary, currency translation adjustments of Revlon Venezuela’s balance sheet are reflected in the Company's earnings.

Venezuela - Currency Restrictions: Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2003 have become more restrictive and have impacted Revlon Venezuela’s ability to obtain U.S. dollars in exchange for Venezuelan Bolivars ("Bolivars") at the official foreign exchange rates from the Venezuelan government and its foreign exchange commission, the Comisión de Administracion de Divisas (“CADIVI”). In May 2010, the Venezuelan government took control over the previously freely-traded foreign currency exchange market and, in June 2010, replaced it with a new foreign currency exchange system, the Sistema de Transacciones en Moneda Extranjera (“SITME”). In the second quarter of 2011, the Company began using a SITME rate of 5.5 Bolivars per U.S. dollar to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements, as this was the rate at which the Company accessed U.S. dollars in the SITME market during this period (the “SITME Rate”). Through December 31, 2012, the Company continued using the SITME Rate to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements.
Venezuela - 2013 Currency Devaluation: In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of its local currency, Bolivars, relative to the U.S. Dollar, changing the official exchange rate to 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the "Official Rate"). The Venezuelan government also announced that the SITME currency market administered by the central bank would be eliminated, and as a result, the Company began using the Official Rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning in 2013. To reflect the impact of the currency devaluation, a one-time foreign currency loss of $0.6 million was recorded in earnings during the first quarter of 2013 as a result of the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities.
Venezuela - 2014 Currency Devaluation: In January 2014, the Venezuela government announced that the CADIVI would be replaced by the government-operated National Center of Foreign Commerce (the "CENCOEX"), and indicated that the Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas (“SICAD”) market would continue to be offered as an alternative foreign currency exchange. Additionally, a parallel foreign currency exchange system, SICAD II, started functioning in March 2014 and allows companies to apply for the purchase of foreign currency and foreign currency denominated securities for any legal use or purpose. During 2014, the SICAD II exchange system has had an average transaction rate to the Company of approximately 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar (the “SICAD II Rate”).
Throughout 2014, the Company exchanged Bolivars for U.S. Dollars to the extent permitted through the various foreign currency markets available based on its ability to participate in those markets. Prior to June 30, 2014, the Company utilized the Official Rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar. Following a consideration of the Company's specific facts and circumstances, which included its legal ability and intent to participate in the SICAD II exchange market to import finished goods into Venezuela, the Company determined that it was appropriate to utilize the SICAD II Rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar to translate Revlon Venezuela’s financial statements beginning on June 30, 2014. As a result, the Company recorded a foreign currency loss of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela’s monetary assets and liabilities.
For 2014, the change to the SICAD II Rate of 53 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, as compared to the Official Rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, has had the impact of reducing the Company's consolidated net sales by $16.2 million and reducing the Company's consolidated operating income by $8.4 million.
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 outstanding stock options under the stock plan using the treasury stock method. (See Note 20, "Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share").
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for its restricted stock, 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, any resulting tax benefits are recognized in additional paid-in-capital. Any resulting tax deficiencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as tax expense to the extent that the tax deficiency amount exceeds any existing additional paid-in-capital resulting from previously realized excess tax benefits from previous awards. The Company reflects such excess tax benefits as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including (i) foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“FX Contracts”) intended for the purpose of managing foreign currency exchange risk by reducing the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s net cash flows and (ii) interest rate hedging transactions intended for the purpose of managing interest rate risk associated with Products Corporation’s variable rate indebtedness.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
Products Corporation enters into FX Contracts primarily to hedge the anticipated net cash flows resulting from inventory purchases and intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to its FX Contracts. The Company records FX Contracts in its consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are immediately recognized in earnings. Fair value of the Company’s FX Contracts is determined by using observable market transactions of spot and forward rates. See Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for further discussion of the Company's FX Contracts.
Interest Rate Swap
In November 2013, Products Corporation executed the 2013 Interest Rate Swap (as hereinafter defined), which has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to its Acquisition Term Loan (as hereinafter defined). The Company records changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges that are designated as effective instruments as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Any ineffectiveness in such cash flow hedges is immediately recognized in earnings. Gains and losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized in current-period earnings when earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged forecasted transaction. See Note 13, “Financial Instruments” for further discussion of the Company's 2013 Interest Rate Swap.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, “Accounting for Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date,” which requires an entity to record an obligation resulting from joint and several liability arrangements at the greater of the amount that the entity has agreed to pay or the amount the entity expects to pay. Additional disclosures about joint and several liability arrangements are also required. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-04 on January 1, 2014, which is required to be applied retrospectively for obligations that existed at that date. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or financial statement disclosures.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters: Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” which clarifies the applicable guidance for a parent company's accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-05 on January 1, 2014 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or financial statement disclosures.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations Topic 805, Pushdown Accounting." The new standard eliminates previous pushdown accounting requirements and provides the option to apply pushdown accounting in separate financial statements upon a change-in-control event. The election is available to the acquired company, as well as to any direct or indirect subsidiaries of the acquired company. Each acquired company or any of its subsidiaries can make its own election independently. The new standard is effective immediately for all new change-in-control events or those occurring in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Accordingly, a company can make an election regarding pushdown accounting for a change-in-control event that occurred in any open financial reporting period. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-17 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or financial statement disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations under Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") Topic 205. Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment or (iv) other major parts of an entity. ASU No. 2014-08 no longer precludes presentation as a discontinued operation if (i) there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations or (ii) there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal. Additional disclosures about discontinued operations will also be required. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and is applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-08 on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2015 and the Company will assess the impact that the new standard will have

(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
on the Company's results of operation, financial condition and disclosures at the time a transaction for which the standard is applicable occurs.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The core principle of the new ASU No. 2014-09 is for companies to recognize revenue from the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 beginning January 1, 2017 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" that will explicitly require management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. According to the new standard, substantial doubt exists if it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations within one year after the issuance date. The likelihood threshold of "probable", similar to its current use in U.S. GAAP for loss contingencies, will be used to define substantial doubt. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt including whether and how management's plans will alleviate the substantial doubt. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption prohibited. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2014-15 beginning January 1, 2016 and is in the process of assessing the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATION
The Colomer Acquisition
On October 9, 2013 (the "Acquisition Date"), Products Corporation completed its acquisition of The Colomer Group Participations, S.L. ("Colomer" and the "Colomer Acquisition"), a Spanish company which primarily manufactures, markets and sells professional products to hair and nail salons and other professional channels under brands such as Revlon Professional, CND, including CND Shellac, and American Crew, as well as retail and multi-cultural product lines. The cash purchase price for the Colomer Acquisition was $664.5 million, which Products Corporation financed with proceeds from the Acquisition Term Loan under the Amended Term Loan Facility (both as hereinafter defined). The Colomer Acquisition provides the Company with broad brand, geographic and channel diversification and substantially expands the Company's business, providing both distribution into new channels and cost synergy opportunities.
The results of operations of the Colomer business have been included, commencing on the Acquisition Date, in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
For 2014 and 2013, respectively, the Company has incurred acquisition and integration costs related to the Colomer Acquisition, summarized as follows:
Acquisition costs in 2014 and 2013 primarily include legal and consulting fees related to the Colomer Acquisition. The integration costs consist of non-restructuring costs related to the Company's plans to integrate Colomer's operations into the Company's business. Integration costs incurred during 2014 primarily include employee-related costs related to management changes and audit-related fees. For 2013, integration costs were primarily related to an impairment of in-progress capitalized software development costs and employee-related costs related to management changes.

Purchase Price Allocation
The Company accounted for the Colomer Acquisition as a business combination during the fourth quarter of 2013. The table below summarizes the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date, as well as adjustments made in the period after the Acquisition Date to the amounts initially recorded in 2013 (the "Measurement Period Adjustments"). Accordingly, the Company retrospectively adjusted its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 to reflect these Measurement Period Adjustments. The Measurement Period Adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for 2014.
The total consideration of $664.5 million was recorded based on the respective estimated fair values of the net assets acquired on the Acquisition Date with resulting goodwill, as follows:
(a) As previously reported in Revlon, Inc.'s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(b) The Measurement Period Adjustments to intangible assets, deferred tax liability and goodwill in the first quarter of 2014 related to a change in assumptions used to calculate the fair value of an acquired customer relationship intangible asset, which increased the intangible asset by $5.4 million and extended the life of the asset from 10 to 20 years, increased deferred tax liabilities by $2.1 million, and resulted in a net decrease to goodwill of $3.3 million.
(c) The Company recorded a $3.9 million income tax adjustment to the beginning tax balance within other assets and a $4.8 million adjustment to other long-term liabilities, resulting in a net increase to goodwill of $0.9 million.
In determining the fair values of net assets acquired in the Colomer Acquisition and resulting goodwill, the Company considered, among other factors, an analysis of Colomer's historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of the acquired business, as well as market participants' intended use of the acquired assets.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results
The unaudited pro forma results include the historical consolidated statements of operations of the Company and Colomer, giving effect to the Colomer Acquisition and related financing transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2012.
The following table presents the Company's pro forma consolidated net sales and income from continuing operations, before income taxes for 2013 and 2012.
The pro forma results, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, include the following pro forma adjustments related to the Colomer Acquisition:
(i) as a result of an $11.1 million fair value adjustment to acquired inventory at the Acquisition Date, the Company recognized $8.5 million of the increase in cost of sales in its historical 2013 consolidated financial statements. The pro forma adjustments include an adjustment to reverse the $8.5 million recognized in 2013 cost of sales and recognize the full $11.1 million in 2012 cost of sales;
(ii) the pro forma increase in depreciation and amortization expense based on the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and acquired finite-lived intangible assets recorded in connection with the Colomer Acquisition of $14.3 million and $19.2 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively;
(iii) the elimination of goodwill impairment charges recognized by Colomer in 2013 and 2012 of $9.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively;
(iv) the elimination of acquisition and integration costs recognized by the Company and Colomer in 2013 and 2012 of $25.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively;
(v) the elimination of Colomer's debt facility fees of $3.6 million recognized in 2013, as the debt facility was closed on the Acquisition Date; and
(vi) the pro forma increase in interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs, resulting from the issuance of the Acquisition Term Loan used by Products Corporation to finance the Colomer Acquisition, for a total combined increase of $19.4 million and $24.4 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma results do not include: (1) any revenue or cost reductions that may be achieved through the business combination; or (2) the impact of non-recurring items directly related to the business combination.
The unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the Colomer Acquisition had been completed as of the date for which the pro forma financial information is presented. In addition, the unaudited pro forma results do not purport to project the future consolidated operating results of the combined company.

3. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
Integration Program
In January 2014, the Company announced that it was implementing actions to integrate Colomer’s operations into the Company’s business, as well as additional restructuring actions identified to reduce costs across the Company’s businesses (all such actions, together, the “Integration Program”).
The Company expects to recognize total restructuring charges, capital expenditures and related non-restructuring costs under the Integration Program of approximately $50 million in the aggregate over the periods described below.
The Integration Program is designed to deliver cost reductions throughout the combined organization by generating synergies and operating efficiencies within the Company’s global supply chain and consolidating offices and back office support, and other actions designed to reduce SG&A expenses. Certain actions that are part of the Integration Program are subject to consultations with employees, works councils or unions and governmental authorities. The Company expects to substantially complete the Integration Program by the end of 2015.
The approximately $50 million of total expected non-restructuring costs, capital expenditures and restructuring charges under the Integration Program referred to above consist of the following:
1.
$5.9 million and $12.5 million and of non-restructuring integration costs recognized during 2014 and 2013, respectively. Such costs have been reflected within acquisition and integration costs in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and are related to combining Colomer’s operations into the Company’s business;
2.
Expected integration-related capital expenditures of approximately $7 million, $4.4 million of which has been paid during 2014 with the remaining balance expected to be paid in 2015; and
3.
Expected total restructuring and related charges of approximately $25 million, $20.1 million of which was recognized during 2014 with the remaining charges expected to be recognized in 2015. A summary of the restructuring and related charges for the Integration Program incurred through 2014 and those expected to be incurred in 2015, are as follows:
(a)
Inventory write-offs and other manufacturing-related costs are recorded within cost of sales within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
(b)

2014 Debt Transactions
February 2014 Term Loan Amendment
In February 2014, Products Corporation entered into an amendment (the “February 2014 Term Loan Amendment”) to its amended term loan agreement among Products Corporation, as borrower, a syndicate of lenders and Citicorp USA, Inc. (“CUSA”), as administrative agent and collateral agent. The amended term loan agreement is comprised of (i) the $675.0 million term loan due November 19, 2017 (the "2011 Term Loan" or the “2011 Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) the $700.0 million term loan due October 8, 2019 (the "Acquisition Term Loan"), which had $693.0 million in aggregate principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2014 (together, the "Amended Term Loan Agreement" and the "Amended Term Loan Facility"). Pursuant to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment, the interest rates applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the $675.0 million 2011 Term Loan bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.5% per annum, with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 0.75% (compared to 3.0% and 1.0%, respectively, prior to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment), while Alternate Base Rate Loans under the 2011 Term Loan bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.5%, with the Alternate Base Rate not to be less than 1.75% (compared to 2.0% in each case prior to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment) (and as each such term is defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement).
Products Corporation's Acquisition Term Loan and Amended Revolving Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined) were not amended in connection with the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment.
During 2014, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million of fees and expenses in connection with the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment, which were expensed as incurred, and wrote-off $0.8 million of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs as a result of the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)

Before giving effect to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment, the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments also reduced the interest rates on the 2011 Term Loan such that Eurodollar Loans bore interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.00% per annum, with the Eurodollar Rate not to be less than 1.00% (compared to 3.50% and 1.25%, respectively, prior to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments), while Alternate Base Rate Loans bore interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%, with the Alternate Base Rate not to be less than 2.00% (compared to 2.50% and 2.25%, respectively, prior to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments) (and as each such term is defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement).
Pursuant to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments, Products Corporation, under certain circumstances, also has the right to request the 2011 Term Loan to be increased by up to the greater of (i) $300 million and (ii) an amount such that Products Corporation’s First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement) does not exceed 3.50:1.00 (compared to $300 million prior to the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments), provided that the lenders are not committed to provide any such increase. Any such increase would be in addition to the Acquisition Term Loan.
(ii) August 2013 Term Loan Amendments
In August 2013, in connection with the Colomer Acquisition, Products Corporation consummated further amendments (the "August 2013 Term Loan Amendments") to its Amended Term Loan Agreement, which permitted, among other things: (i) Products Corporation's consummation of the Colomer Acquisition; and (ii) Products Corporation's incurring up to $700 million of term loans to use as a source of funds to consummate the Colomer Acquisition and pay related fees and expenses.

The Acquisition Term Loan was issued on October 8, 2013 and Products Corporation and used the net proceeds of $698.3 million as a source of funds to consummate the Colomer Acquisition and pay related fees and expenses.
(iv) Amended Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2013, in connection with the Colomer Acquisition, Products Corporation consummated an amendment (the "August 2013 Revolver Amendment") to its third amended and restated revolving credit agreement dated June 16, 2011 (the "2011 Revolving Credit Agreement") which amended its $140.0 million asset-backed, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "2011 Revolving Credit Facility") to permit, among other things: (a) Products Corporation's consummation of the Colomer Acquisition; and (b) Products Corporation's incurring up to $700 million of the Acquisition Term Loan that Products Corporation used as a source of funds to consummate the Colomer Acquisition. Additionally, the August 2013 Revolver Amendment (1) reduced Products Corporation's interest rate spread over the LIBOR rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans under the facility from a range, based on availability, of 2.00% to 2.50%, to a range of 1.50% to 2.00%; (2) reduced the commitment fee on unused availability under the facility from 0.375% to 0.25%; and (3) extended the maturity of the facility, which was previously scheduled to mature in June 2016, to the earlier of (i) August 2018 or (ii) the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any term loans then outstanding under Products Corporation's bank term loan agreements, but not earlier than June 2016.
Additionally, in December 2013, Products Corporation entered into an incremental amendment (the "December 2013 Revolver Amendment" and together with the August 2013 Revolver Amendment, the "2013 Revolver Amendments") to its third amended and restated revolving credit agreement, dated as of June 16, 2011 (as amended by the 2013 Revolver Amendments, the "Amended Revolving Credit Agreement" and "Amended Revolving Credit Facility"). Under the terms of the December 2013 Revolver Amendment, the lenders' commitment to provide borrowings to Products Corporation and its subsidiary borrowers under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $140.0 million to $175.0 million.
2013 Senior Notes Refinancing
In February 2013, Products Corporation issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5¾% Senior Notes due February 15, 2021 (the “5¾% Senior Notes”) to investors at par pursuant to the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “5¾% Senior Notes Indenture”). Products Corporation used $491.2 million of the net proceeds (net of underwriters' fees) from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes to repay and redeem all of the $330.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 9¾% Senior Secured Notes due November 2015 (the “9¾% Senior Secured Notes"), as well as to pay an aggregate of $28.0 million for the applicable redemption and tender offer premiums, accrued interest and related fees and expenses. Products Corporation
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
used a portion of the remaining proceeds, together with existing cash, to pay approximately $113 million of principal on its 2011 Term Loan in conjunction with the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments. Products Corporation used the remaining balance available from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, debt reduction transactions, such as repaying to Revlon, Inc. at maturity on October 8, 2013 the Contributed Loan (as hereinafter defined), which Revlon, Inc. used to pay the liquidation preference of Revlon, Inc.'s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), in connection with its mandatory redemption of such stock on such date. Refer to “5¾% Senior Notes” below for further discussion.
Mandatory Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock
In October 2009, Revlon, Inc. consummated a voluntary exchange offer transaction (the “2009 Exchange Offer’) in which each issued and outstanding share of Revlon, Inc.’s Class A Common Stock was exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for a newly-issued series of Revlon, Inc.’s Series A Preferred Stock. Revlon, Inc. issued to stockholders (other than MacAndrews & Forbes and its affiliates) 9,336,905 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock exchanged in the 2009 Exchange Offer. The Series A Preferred Stock was initially recorded by Revlon, Inc. as a long-term liability at its fair value of $47.9 million upon issuance. On October 8, 2013, Revlon, Inc. completed the mandatory redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock for $48.6 million in accordance with its certificate of designation, which represented a $5.21 liquidation preference for each of the 9,336,905 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued in the 2009 Exchange Offer.
Long-Term Debt Agreements
(a) Amended Credit Agreements
The following is a summary description of the Amended Term Loan Facility, which includes the 2011 Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan, and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in the Amended Term Loan Agreement and/or the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreements"), as applicable. Investors should refer to the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement and/or the Amended Term Loan Agreement for complete terms and conditions, as these summary descriptions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions.
Amended Revolving Credit Facility
Availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility varies based on a borrowing base that is determined by the value of eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory in the U.S. and the U.K. and eligible real property and equipment in the U.S. from time to time.
In January 2014, Colomer's U.S.-domiciled subsidiaries (the “Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries”) became additional guarantors under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture. In connection with becoming guarantors, substantially all of the assets of the Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries were pledged as collateral under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, thereby increasing the value of the assets supporting the borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
If the value of the eligible assets is not sufficient to support the $175.0 million borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, Products Corporation will not have full access to the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Products Corporation’s ability to borrow under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is also conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and Products Corporation’s compliance with other covenants in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.
In each case subject to borrowing base availability, the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is available to:
(i) Products Corporation in revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. Dollars;
(ii) Products Corporation in swing line loans denominated in U.S. Dollars up to $30.0 million;
(iii) Products Corporation in standby and commercial letters of credit denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies up to $60.0 million; and
(iv) Products Corporation and certain of its international subsidiaries designated from time to time in revolving credit loans and bankers’ acceptances denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies.
Under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, borrowings (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear interest, if made as Eurodollar Loans, at the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid below and, if made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid below.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Local Loans (as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement) bear interest, if mutually acceptable to Products Corporation and the relevant foreign lenders, at the Local Rate, and otherwise (i) if in foreign currencies or in U.S. Dollars at the Eurodollar Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid above or (ii) if in U.S. Dollars at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin set forth in the grid above.
Prior to the termination date of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, revolving loans are required to be prepaid (without any permanent reduction in commitment) with:
(i) the net cash proceeds from sales of Revolving Credit First Lien Collateral by Products Corporation or any of Products Corporation’s subsidiary guarantors (other than dispositions in the ordinary course of business and certain other exceptions); and
(ii) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt, to the extent there remains any such proceeds after satisfying Products Corporation’s repayment obligations under the Amended Term Loan Facility.
Products Corporation pays to the lenders under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility a commitment fee of 0.25% of the average daily unused portion of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, which fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, Products Corporation also pays:
(i) to foreign lenders a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans (which fee is retained by foreign lenders out of the portion of the Applicable Margin payable to such foreign lender);
(ii) to foreign lenders an administrative fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans;
(iii) to the multi-currency lenders a letter of credit commission equal to the product of (a) the Applicable Margin for revolving credit loans that are Eurodollar Rate loans (adjusted for the term that the letter of credit is outstanding) and (b) the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit; and
(iv) to the issuing lender, a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit, which fee is a portion of the Applicable Margin.
Under certain circumstances, Products Corporation has the right to request that the Amended Revolving Credit Facility be increased by up to $100.0 million, provided that the lenders are not committed to provide any such increase.
Under certain circumstances, if and when the difference between (i) the borrowing base under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the amounts outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is less than $20.0 million for a period of two consecutive days or more, and until such difference is equal to or greater than $20.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the Amended Revolving Credit Facility requires Products Corporation to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of EBITDA minus Capital Expenditures to Cash Interest Expense for such period) of a minimum of 1.0 to 1.0.
The Amended Revolving Credit Facility matures on the earlier of August 14, 2018 and the date that is 90 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any term loans then outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Facility, but not earlier than June 16, 2016.
Amended Term Loan Facility
Term loans under the Amended Term Loan Facility bear interest at the following interest rates:
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The term loans under the Amended Term Loan Facility are required to be prepaid with:
(i) the net cash proceeds in excess of $10 million for each 12-month period ending on March 31 received during such period from sales of Term Loan First Lien Collateral by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiary guarantors with carryover of unused annual basket amounts up to a maximum of $25 million and with respect to certain specified dispositions up to an additional $25 million in the aggregate (subject to a reinvestment right for 365 days, or 545 days if the Company has within such 365-day period entered into a legally binding commitment to invest such funds);
(ii) the net proceeds from the issuance by Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt; and
(iii) 50% of Products Corporation’s “excess cash flow” (as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement), commencing with excess cash flow for the 2013 fiscal year payable in the first 100 days of 2014.
In addition to its regularly scheduled $1.7 million principal repayment due on March 31, 2015, prior to April 10, 2015, Products Corporation is required to prepay, on or before April 10, 2015, $24.6 million of indebtedness under the Amended Term Loan Facility, representing 50% of its 2014 “excess cash flow” (as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement), which prepayment shall be applied on a ratable basis between the principal amounts outstanding under 2011 Term Loan and the Acquisition Term Loan. The amount of the prepayment applied to the 2011 Term Loan will be used to reduce the principal amount outstanding (as all amortization payments under the 2011 Term Loan have been paid). The amount applied to the Acquisition Term Loan will be used to reduce Products Corporation's future regularly scheduled quarterly amortization payments under the Acquisition Term Loan on a ratable basis from $1.8 million prior to the prepayment to $1.7 million after giving effect to the prepayment and through October 2019.
The Amended Term Loan Facility contains a financial covenant limiting Products Corporation’s first lien senior secured leverage ratio (the ratio of Products Corporation’s senior secured debt that has a lien on the collateral which secures the Amended Term Loan Facility that is not junior or subordinated to the liens securing the Amended Term Loan Facility (excluding debt outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility)) to EBITDA, as each such term is defined in the Amended Term Loan Facility, to no more than 4.25 to 1.0 for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending through the maturity date of the Amended Term Loan Facility.
Products Corporation, under certain circumstances, also has the right to request the Amended Term Loan Facility to be increased by up to the greater of (i) $300 million and (ii) an amount such that Products Corporation’s First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Term Loan Agreement) does not exceed 3.50:1.00, provided that the lenders are not committed to provide any such increase. Such increase is in addition to the Acquisition Term Loan.
The 2011 Term Loan outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Facility matures on November 19, 2017. The Acquisition Term Loan under the Amended Term Loan Facility has the same terms as the 2011 Term Loans, except that: (i) it matures on the sixth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition Term Loan (or October 8, 2019); and (ii) it amortizes on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (which commenced March 31, 2014), in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Acquisition Term Loan.
Provisions Applicable to the Amended Term Loan Facility and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility
The Amended Credit Agreements are supported by, among other things, guarantees from Revlon, Inc. and, subject to certain limited exceptions, Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries. Products Corporation’s obligations under the Amended Term Loan Agreement and the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement and the obligations under such guarantees are secured by, subject to certain limited exceptions, substantially all of Products Corporation’s assets and the assets of the guarantors, including:
(i) a mortgage on owned real property, including Products Corporation’s facility in Oxford, North Carolina;
(ii) Products Corporation’s capital stock and the capital stock of the subsidiary guarantors and 66% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Products Corporation’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ first-tier, non-U.S. subsidiaries;
(iii) Products Corporation’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ intellectual property and other intangible property; and
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
(iv) Products Corporation’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ inventory, trade receivables, equipment, investment property and deposit accounts.
The liens on, among other things, inventory, trade receivables, deposit accounts, investment property (other than Products Corporation’s capital stock and the capital stock of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries), real property, equipment, fixtures and certain intangible property secure the Amended Revolving Credit Facility on a first priority basis and the Amended Term Loan Facility on a second priority basis. The liens on Products Corporation’s capital stock and the capital stock of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries and intellectual property and certain other intangible property secure the Amended Term Loan Facility on a first priority basis and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility on a second priority basis. Such arrangements are set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2010, by and among Products Corporation and CUSA, as administrative agent and as collateral agent for the benefit of the secured parties for the Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility (the “2010 Intercreditor Agreement”). The 2010 Intercreditor Agreement also provides that the liens referred to above may be shared from time to time, subject to certain limitations, with specified types of other obligations incurred or guaranteed by Products Corporation, such as foreign exchange and interest rate hedging obligations and foreign working capital lines.
The Amended Credit Agreements contain various restrictive covenants prohibiting Products Corporation and its subsidiaries from:
(i) incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees, with certain exceptions;
(ii) making dividend and other payments or loans to Revlon, Inc. or other affiliates, with certain exceptions, including among others:
(a) exceptions permitting Products Corporation to pay dividends or make other payments to Revlon, Inc. to enable it to, among other things, pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal, accounting and insurance fees, regulatory fees, such as SEC filing fees and NYSE listing fees, and other expenses related to being a public holding company;

Stock Plan and/or the payment of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under such plan;
(c) subject to certain limitations, to pay dividends or make other payments to finance the purchase, redemption or other retirement for value by Revlon, Inc. of stock or other equity interests or equivalents in Revlon, Inc. held by any current or former director, employee or consultant in his or her capacity as such; and
(d) subject to certain limitations, to make other restricted payments to Products Corporation’s affiliates in an amount up to $10 million per year (plus $10 million for each calendar year commencing with 2011), other restricted payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35 million and certain other restricted payments, including without limitation those based upon certain financial tests;

(iv) with certain exceptions, engaging in merger or acquisition transactions;
(v) prepaying indebtedness and modifying the terms of certain indebtedness and specified material contractual obligations, subject to certain exceptions;
(vi) making investments, subject to certain exceptions; and
(vii) entering into transactions with Products Corporation’s affiliates involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10 million other than upon terms that are not materially less favorable when taken as a whole to Products Corporation or its subsidiaries as terms that would be obtainable at the time for a comparable transaction or series of similar transactions in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third person and where such payments or consideration exceed $20 million, unless such transaction has been approved by all of Products Corporation’s independent directors, subject to certain exceptions.
The events of default under the Amended Credit Agreements include customary events of default for such types of agreements, including, among others:
(i) nonpayment of any principal, interest or other fees when due, subject in the case of interest and fees to a grace period;
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(vi) the failure by Products Corporation, certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries or Revlon, Inc. to pay certain material judgments;
(vii) a change of control such that (A) Revlon, Inc. shall cease to be the beneficial and record owner of 100% of Products Corporation’s capital stock, (B) Ronald O.

If Products Corporation is in default under the senior secured leverage ratio under the Amended Term Loan Facility or the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, Products Corporation may cure such default by issuing certain equity securities to, or receiving capital contributions from, Revlon, Inc. and applying such cash which is deemed to increase EBITDA for the purpose of calculating the applicable ratio. Products Corporation may exercise this cure right two times in any four-quarter period.
Covenants
Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Amended Term Loan Agreement and the Amended Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan and the 2011 Term Loan were $693.0 million and $675.0 million, respectively, and availability under the $175.0 million Amended Revolving Credit Facility, based upon the calculated borrowing base less $9.0 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit and nil then drawn on the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, was $166.0 million.
(b) 5¾% Senior Notes
On February 8, 2013, Products Corporation completed its offering (the "2013 Senior Notes Refinancing"), pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the "Securities Act"), of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes. The 5¾% Senior Notes are unsecured and were issued to investors at par. The 5¾% Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2021. Interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes accrues at 5¾% per annum, paid every six months on February 15th and August 15th. (See "Registration Rights" below).
The 5¾% Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2013 (the “Notes Closing Date”), by and among Products Corporation, Products Corporation’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), which also currently guarantee Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Guarantors issued guarantees (the “Guarantees”) of Products Corporation’s obligations under the 5¾% Senior Notes and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture on a joint and several, senior unsecured basis. In January 2014, the
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Colomer U.S. Subsidiaries became additional guarantors under Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility and the 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture.
In December 2013, Products Corporation consummated an offer to exchange the original 5¾% Senior Notes for $500 million of new 5¾% Senior Notes, which have substantially the same terms as the original 5¾% Senior Notes, except that they are registered under the Securities Act (such registered new notes being the “5¾% Senior Notes”). See "Registration Rights" below for further discussion.
Products Corporation used a portion of the $491.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes (net of underwriters' fees) to repay and redeem all of the $330.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 9¾% Senior Secured Notes, as well as to pay $8.6 million of accrued interest. Products Corporation incurred an aggregate of $19.4 million of fees for the applicable redemption and tender offer premiums, related fees and expenses in connection with redemption and repayment of the 9¾% Senior Secured Notes and other fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes. Products Corporation used a portion of the remaining proceeds from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes, together with existing cash, to pay approximately $113.0 million of principal on its 2011 Term Loan in conjunction with the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments. Products Corporation used the remaining balance available from the issuance of the 5¾% Senior Notes for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, debt reduction transactions, such as repaying to Revlon, Inc. at maturity on October 8, 2013 the Contributed Loan, which Revlon, Inc. used to pay the liquidation preference of Revlon, Inc.'s Preferred Stock in connection with its mandatory redemption on such date.
Ranking
The 5¾% Senior Notes are Products Corporation’s unsubordinated, unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of Products Corporation and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of Products Corporation. Similarly, each Guarantee is the relevant Guarantor’s joint and several, unsubordinated and unsecured obligation and ranks senior in right of payment to any future subordinated obligations of such Guarantor and ranks pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of such Guarantor. The Guarantees were issued on a joint and several basis.
The 5¾% Senior Notes and the Guarantees rank effectively junior to Products Corporation’s Amended Term Loan Facility and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, which are secured, as well as indebtedness and preferred stock of Products Corporation’s foreign and immaterial subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”), none of which guarantee the 5¾% Senior Notes.
Optional Redemption
On and after February 15, 2016, the 5¾% Senior Notes may be redeemed at Products Corporation's 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 the date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on February 15th of the years indicated below:
Products Corporation may redeem the 5¾% Senior Notes at its option at any time or from time to time prior to February 15, 2016, as a whole or in part, at a redemption price per 5¾% Senior Note equal to the sum of (1) the then outstanding principal amount thereof, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption, plus (3) the applicable premium based on the applicable treasury rate plus 75 basis points.
Prior to February 15, 2016, Products Corporation may, from time to time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes and any additional notes with, and to the extent Products Corporation actually receives, the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings from time to time, at 105.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
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 5¾% Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes as of the date of any such repurchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
Certain Covenants
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture limits Products Corporation’s and the Guarantors’ ability, and the ability of certain other subsidiaries, to:
•
incur or guarantee additional indebtedness (“Limitation on Debt”);
•
pay dividends, make repayments on indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the 5¾% Senior Notes and make other “restricted payments” (“Limitation on Restricted Payments”);
•
make certain investments;
•
create liens on their assets to secure debt;
•
enter into transactions with affiliates;
•
merge, consolidate or amalgamate with another company (“Successor Company”);
•
transfer and sell assets (“Limitation on Asset Sales”); and
•
permit restrictions on the payment of dividends by Products Corporation’s subsidiaries (“Limitation on Dividends from Subsidiaries”).
These covenants are subject to important qualifications and exceptions. The 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture also contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default.
In addition, if during any period of time the 5¾% 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 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture, Products Corporation and its subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants on Limitation on Debt, Limitation on Restricted Payments, Limitation on Asset Sales, Limitation on Dividends from Subsidiaries and certain provisions of the Successor Company covenant.
Registration Rights
On the Notes Closing Date, Products Corporation, the Guarantors and the representatives of the initial purchasers of the 5¾% Senior Notes entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Products Corporation and the Guarantors agreed with the representatives of the initial purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the 5¾% Senior Notes, that Products Corporation would, at its cost, among other things: (i) file a registration statement with respect to the 5¾% Senior Notes within 150 days after the Notes Closing Date to be used in connection with the exchange of the 5¾% Senior Notes and related guarantees for publicly registered notes and related guarantees with substantially identical terms in all material respects (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the 5¾% Senior Notes and interest rate increases as described below); (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 210 days after the Notes Closing Date; and (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to effect an exchange offer of the 5¾% Senior Notes and the related guarantees for registered notes and related guarantees within 270 days after the Notes Closing Date. In addition, under certain circumstances, Products Corporation was required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the 5¾% Senior Notes. If Products Corporation failed to satisfy such obligations, it was obligated to pay additional interest to each holder of the 5¾% Senior Notes that were subject to transfer restrictions, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following any such failure, at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes that were subject to transfer restrictions held by such holder. The amount of additional interest increased by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all registration requirements were satisfied, up to a maximum amount of additional interest of 0.50% per annum on the principal amount of the 5¾% Senior Notes that were subject to transfer restrictions.
On December 24, 2013, Products Corporation, consummated an offer to exchange Products Corporation’s 5¾% Senior Notes for new notes, with substantially the same terms, but which were registered under the Securities Act. By having the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC on November 22, 2013, Products Corporation cured the first registration default that occurred under the Registration Rights Agreement, because the Registration Statement had not been declared effective by September 6, 2013. By consummating the Exchange Offer on December 24, 2013, Products Corporation cured the second registration default under the Registration Rights Agreement, that occurred because Products Corporation had not consummated the Exchange Offer by November 5, 2013. The first registration default caused the interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes to increase from 5.75% per annum to 6.00% per annum from September 7, 2013 through December 5, 2013 and the second registration default caused the interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes to increase to 6.25% per annum from December 6, 2013 through December 23, 2013. With Products Corporation having consummated the Exchange Offer on December 24, 2013, interest on the 5¾% Senior Notes resumed accruing at the original rate of 5.75% per annum effective from such date. The Company recorded additional interest expense of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 with respect to the registration defaults.

Covenants
Products Corporation was in compliance with all applicable covenants under its 5¾% Senior Notes Indenture as of December 31, 2014.
(c) Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement
In January 2008, Products Corporation entered into a $170.0 million Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement with MacAndrews & Forbes and on February 1, 2008 used the $170.0 million of proceeds from such loan to repay in full the $167.4 million remaining aggregate principal amount of Products Corporation’s 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, which matured on February 1, 2008, and to pay $2.55 million of related fees and expenses.
In September 2008, Products Corporation used $63.0 million of the net proceeds from the July 2008 sale of the Company’s Bozzano business in Brazil to partially repay $63.0 million of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Term Loan. Following such partial repayment, there remained outstanding $107.0 million in aggregate principal amount under such loan consisting of $48.6 million (the “Contributed Loan”) and $58.4 million (the “Non-Contributed Loan”). As of the date of the 2009 Exchange Offer and prior to its October 8, 2013 maturity date when it was completely repaid (the proceeds of which Revlon, Inc. used to consummate the mandatory redemption of the Preferred Stock on such date), the Contributed Loan was due to Revlon, Inc. by Products Corporation. Upon consummation of the 2009 Exchange Offer, MacAndrews & Forbes contributed to Revlon, Inc. $48.6 million of the $107.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Term Loan made by MacAndrews & Forbes to Products Corporation (the “Contributed Loan”). As of the date of the 2009 Exchange Offer and prior to its October 8, 2013 maturity date when it was completely repaid (the proceeds of which Revlon, Inc. used to consummate the mandatory redemption of the Preferred Stock on such date), the Contributed Loan was due to Revlon, Inc. by Products Corporation. The $48.6 million Contributed Loan represented $5.21 of outstanding principal amount under the Senior Subordinated Term Loan for each of the 9,336,905 shares of Class A Common Stock exchanged in the 2009 Exchange Offer, in which Revlon, Inc. issued to MacAndrews & Forbes 9,336,905 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 Senior Subordinated Term Loan contributed to Revlon, Inc. The terms of the Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement were also amended to extend the maturity date of the Contributed Loan to October 8, 2013 and to change the annual interest rate on the Contributed Loan to 12.75%.
Upon consummation of the 2009 Exchange Offer, the terms of the Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement were also amended to extend the maturity date of the $58.4 million principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Term Loan (the “Non-Contributed Loan”) to October 8, 2014 and to change the annual interest rate on the Non-Contributed Loan to 12%.
On April 30, 2012, MacAndrews & Forbes exercised its right to assign its interest in the Non-Contributed Loan. In connection with such assignment, Products Corporation entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement with MacAndrews & Forbes and a related Administrative Letter was entered into with Citibank, N.A. and MacAndrews & Forbes, to among other things:
i.
modify the interest rate on the Non-Contributed Loan from its prior 12% fixed rate to a floating rate of LIBOR plus 7%, with a 1.5% LIBOR floor, resulting in an interest rate of approximately 8.5% per annum (or a 3.5% reduction per annum) upon the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement;
ii.
insert prepayment premiums such that Products Corporation could optionally prepay the Non-Contributed Loan (a) from November 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014 with a 2% prepayment premium on the aggregate principal amount of the Non-Contributed Loan being prepaid, and (b) from May 1, 2014 through maturity on October 8, 2014 with no prepayment premium; and
iii.
designate Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent for the Non-Contributed Loan.
Concurrent with the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Term Loan Agreement, MacAndrews & Forbes assigned its entire interest in the Non-Contributed Loan to several third parties.
On October 8, 2013, Revlon, Inc. consummated the mandatory redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock (in accordance with its certificate of designation) for $48.6 million using the proceeds from Products Corporation's repayment of the Contributed Loan to Revlon, Inc. on such date.
On May 1, 2014, Products Corporation used available cash on hand to optionally prepay in full the remaining $58.4 million principal amount outstanding under the Non-Contributed Loan that remained owing from Products Corporation to various third parties. The Non-Contributed Loan would have otherwise matured on October 8, 2014. In connection with the prepayment, the Company wrote-off $0.1 million of deferred financing costs, which were recognized within loss on early extinguishment of debt in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the year ended December 31, 2014.
(d) Spanish Government Loan
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
In connection with the Colomer Acquisition, the Company acquired the Colomer Group's euro-denominated loan payable to the Spanish government (the "Spanish Government Loan"), which loan had $0.7 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2014 (based on foreign exchange rates in effect as of such date). The Spanish Government Loan does not bear interest and is payable in 10 equal installments on June 30th of each year beginning in 2016 through 2025.
Long-Term Debt Maturities
The aggregate amounts of contractual long-term debt maturities at December 31, 2014 in the years 2015 through 2019 and thereafter are as follows:
(a)
Amount includes the quarterly amortization payments required under the Acquisition Term Loan as well as the required $24.6 million “excess cash flow” prepayment to be made on or before April 10, 2015 under the Amended Term Loan Agreement (as defined under the Amended Term Loan Agreement).
(b)
Amount includes the aggregate principal amount expected to be outstanding under the 2011 Term Loan which matures on November 19, 2017, after giving effect to the quarterly amortization payments required under the Acquisition Term Loan and the excess cash flow prepayment discussed in note (a) above.
(c)
Amount is comprised of the aggregate principal amount expected to be outstanding under the Acquisition Term Loan assuming a maturity date of October 9, 2019, after giving effect to the amortization payments and excess cash flow prepayment referred to in note (a) above.
(d)
Amount is primarily comprised of the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2014 under the 5¾% Senior Notes, which mature on February 21, 2021.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and liabilities are required to be categorized into three levels of fair value based upon the assumptions used to price 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;
•
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 December 31, 2014, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value are categorized in the table below:
As of December 31, 2013, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value are categorized in the table below:
(a)
The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts ("FX Contracts") was measured based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates on the respective dates. See Note 13, “Financial Instruments.”
(b)
The fair value of the Company's 2013 Interest Rate Swap was measured based on the implied forward rates from the U.S. Dollar three-month LIBOR yield curve on the respective dates. See Note 13, “Financial Instruments.”
As of December 31, 2014, the fair values and carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, are categorized in the table below:
As of December 31, 2013, the fair values and carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, are categorized in the table below:
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, is based on the quoted market prices for the same issues or on the current rates offered for debt of similar remaining maturities.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Products Corporation maintains standby and trade letters of credit for various corporate purposes under which Products Corporation is obligated, of which $9.0 million and $9.9 million (including amounts available under credit agreements in effect at that time) were maintained at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Included in these amounts is approximately $7.7 million and $8.1 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, in standby letters of credit which support Products Corporation’s self-insurance programs. The estimated liability under such programs is accrued by Products Corporation.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily (i) FX Contracts, intended for the purpose of managing foreign currency exchange risk by reducing the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s net cash flows, and (ii) interest rate hedging transactions, such as the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, intended for the purpose of managing interest rate risk associated with Products Corporation’s variable rate indebtedness.
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
The FX Contracts are entered into primarily to hedge the anticipated net cash flows resulting from inventory purchases and intercompany payments denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations and generally have maturities of less than one year.
The U.S. Dollar notional amount of the FX Contracts outstanding at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $7.6 million and $52.9 million, respectively.
Interest Rate Swap Transaction
In November 2013, Products Corporation executed a forward-starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction with a 1.00% floor, based on a notional amount of $400 million in respect of indebtedness under the Acquisition Term Loan over a period of three years (the "2013 Interest Rate Swap"). The Company designated the 2013 Interest Rate Swap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the forecasted three-month LIBOR interest rate payments related to its Acquisition Term Loan with respect to the $400 million notional amount over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap. Under the terms of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap, Products Corporation will receive from the counterparty a floating interest rate based on the higher of three-month USD LIBOR or 1.00% commencing in May 2015, while paying a fixed interest rate payment to the counterparty equal to 2.0709% (which effectively fixes the interest rate on such notional amount at 5.0709% over the three-year term of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap.) For 2014, the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was deemed effective and therefore the changes in fair value related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap have been recorded in Other Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of deferred net losses on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $(2.2) million after-tax. (See "Quantitative Information - Derivative Financial Instruments" below). The Company expects that $(1.3) million of the after-tax amounts related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap will be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months as a result of transactions that are expected to occur over that period. The amount ultimately realized in earnings may differ as the LIBOR is subject to change. Realized gains and losses are ultimately determined by actual rates at maturity of the derivative.
Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any of the counterparties is limited to the gross fair value of the derivative instruments in asset positions, which totaled $0.2 million and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company attempts to minimize exposure to credit risk by generally entering into derivative contracts with counterparties that have investment-grade credit ratings and are major financial institutions. The Company also periodically monitors any changes in the credit ratings of its counterparties. Given the current credit standing of the Company's counterparties to its derivative instruments, the Company believes the risk of loss under these derivative instruments arising from any non-performance by any of the counterparties is remote.

Quantitative Information - Derivative Financial Instruments
The effects of the Company’s derivative instruments on its consolidated financial statements were as follows:
(a)
Fair Values of Derivative Financial Instruments in Consolidated Balance Sheets:
(i) The fair values of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were measured based on the implied forward rates from the U.S. Dollar three-month LIBOR yield curve at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
(ii) The fair values of the FX Contracts at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were measured based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
(b) Effects of Derivative Financial Instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for each of 2014, 2013 and 2012:

Net of tax (benefit) expense of $(2.3) million and $1.0 million for each of 2014 and 2013.
14. SAVINGS PLAN, PENSION AND POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Savings Plan:
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 6%, 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 (for a total match of 3% of employee contributions). The Company made cash matching contributions of $2.4 million to the Savings Plan during each of 2014, 2013 and 2012,
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
respectively. The 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 general assets of the Company.
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 2014, the Company made discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Savings Plan and non-qualified defined contribution savings plan of $4.0 million (of which $3.1 million was paid in 2014 and $0.9 million was paid in January 2015), or 3% of eligible compensation, which was credited on a quarterly basis. In 2013, the Company made discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Savings Plan and non-qualified defined contribution savings plan of $4.1 million (of which $3.2 million was paid in 2013 and $0.9 million was paid in January 2014), or 3% of eligible compensation, which was credited on a quarterly basis. For 2012, the Company made discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Savings Plan and non-qualified defined contribution savings plan of $3.9 million (of which $3.0 million was paid in 2012 and $0.9 million was paid in January 2013), or 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 plan 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.
Effective December 31, 2012, Products Corporation merged two of its qualified defined benefit pension plans; therefore, as of December 31, 2012, Products Corporation sponsors two qualified defined benefit pension plans. The Company also has non-qualified pension plans which 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 general assets of the Company.
Also, during 2012, the Company announced plans to exit its owned manufacturing facility in France and rightsize its organization in France as part of the September 2012 Program (as defined in Note 3, “Restructuring Charges”). As a result of the September 2012 Program, the Company recognized a curtailment gain of $1.7 million, partially offset by $0.2 million of prior service costs and accumulated actuarial losses previously reported within accumulated other comprehensive loss, for a net gain of $1.5 million, which was recorded within restructuring charges and other, net for 2012.
Other 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, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes. (See Note 22, “Related Party Transactions - Transfer Agreements”).
The following table provides an aggregate reconciliation of the projected benefit obligations, plan assets, funded status and amounts recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements related to the Company's significant pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost:
The components of net periodic benefit (income) costs for the Company’s pension and the other post-retirement benefit plans are as follows:
For 2014, the Company recognized net periodic benefit income of $(5.4) million, as compared to $(0.4) million in 2013, primarily due to an increase in the fair value of pension plan assets at December 31, 2014, as well as lower amortization of actuarial losses.
During 2013, the Company recognized net period benefit income of $(0.4) million, compared to net period benefit costs of $3.9 million in 2012, driven primarily by the increase in the fair value of pension plan assets and a decrease in the interest cost at December 31, 2013, which was driven by an increase in the discount rate from 2012.
Net periodic benefit (income) costs are reflected in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as follows:
Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2014 in respect of the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement plans, which have not yet been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost, are as follows:

The total actuarial losses and prior service costs in respect of the Company’s pension plans and other post-retirement plans included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2014 and expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit cost during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, is $8.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Pension Plan Assumptions:
The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the Company’s projected benefit obligation of the Company’s U.S. and International pension plans at the end of the respective years:
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:
The 3.89% weighted-average discount rate used to determine the Company’s projected benefit obligation of the Company’s U.S. plans at the end of 2014 was derived by reference to appropriate benchmark yields on high quality corporate bonds, with terms which approximate the duration of the benefit payments and the relevant benchmark bond indices considering the individual plan’s characteristics. The rate selected approximates the rate at which the Company believes the U.S. pension benefits could have been effectively settled. The discount rates used to determine the Company’s projected benefit obligation of the Company’s primary international plans at the end of 2014 were derived from similar local studies, in conjunction with local actuarial consultants and asset managers.
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. Using the aforementioned methodologies, the Company selected a 7.75% and 6.00% weighted-average long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption during 2014 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 U.S. pension plans with the objective of meeting or exceeding, over time, the
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
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 private equity, not covered in investments described above, provided that such investments are approved by the Investment Committee 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 such investments are approved by the Investment Committee 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 ranges which 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 achieving the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption, weighed against a reasonable risk level. The target ranges per asset class are as follows:
Fair Value of Pension Plan Assets:
The following table presents information on the fair value of the U.S. and international pension plan assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013:
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 Company 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.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
•
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 primarily 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 Company classifies common and collective fund investments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
•
Hedge funds: The hedge fund 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 NAV is based on securities listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or market, or traded in the over-the-counter market, and is valued at the closing quotation posted by that exchange or trading system. Securities not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or market are valued primarily through observable market information or broker quotes. The hedge fund investments generally can be sold on a quarterly or monthly basis and may employ leverage. The Company classifies hedge fund investments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
•
Group annuity contract: The group annuity contract asset class primarily invests in equities, corporate bonds and government bonds. The fair values of securities listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or market, or traded in the over-the-counter market, are valued at the closing quotation posted by that exchange or trading system. Securities not listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or market are valued primarily through observable market information or broker quotes. The Company classifies group annuity contract investments within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
•
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.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair values of the U.S. and International pension plans’ Level 3 assets for each of 2014 and 2013:
The amount transferred out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy during 2014 relates to certain U.S. pension plan investments in South American government bonds. During 2014, observable market information became available for these plan assets and as a result, the assets have been categorized as Level 2 within the hierarchy. The U.S. pension plan did not realize any material gains or losses related to these investments during 2014 or 2013.
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 2014, the Company contributed $18.2 million to its pension plans and $0.7 million to its other post-retirement benefit plans. During 2015, the Company expects to contribute approximately $20 million to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments:
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid out of the Company’s pension and other post-retirement benefit plans:
15. STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Revlon, Inc. maintains the Fourth Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan (the "Stock Plan"), which provides for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock and restricted stock units to eligible employees and directors of Revlon, Inc. and its affiliates, including Products Corporation. An aggregate of 6,565,000 shares are reserved for issuance as Awards under the Stock Plan, subject to the adjustment provisions of the Stock Plan. In July 2014, the Stock Plan was amended to renew the Stock Plan for a 7-year renewal term expiring on April 14, 2021.
Stock options:
Non-qualified stock options granted under the Stock Plan 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.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
At December 31, 2014 there were no options exercisable under the Stock Plan, and 800 and 8,105 stock options exercisable at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
A summary of stock option activity for each of 2014, 2013 and 2012 is presented below:
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units:
The Stock Plan allows for awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees and directors of Revlon, Inc. and its affiliates, including Products Corporation. The restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plan vest over service periods that generally range from 3 years to 5 years. In 2014, the Company granted 693,378 shares of restricted stock to certain executives which vest over a 5-year period. In October 2013, the Company granted 120,000 shares of restricted common stock with a 3-year vesting period to an executive who ceased employment with the Company during 2014, with the final 80,000 shares vesting in equal installments in October 2015 and October 2016. There have not been any other restricted stock awards granted since 2009.
A summary of the restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity for each of 2014, 2013 and 2012 is presented below:
(a)
Of the amounts vested during 2014 and 2012, 22,328 and 83,582 shares, respectively, were withheld by the Company to satisfy certain grantees’ minimum withholding tax requirements, which withheld shares became Revlon, Inc. treasury stock and are not sold on the open market. (See discussion under “Treasury Stock” in Note 18, “Stockholders’ Deficiency”).
The Company recognizes non-cash compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units under the Stock Plan using the straight-line method over the remaining service period. The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock awards under the Stock Plan of $5.5 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units that vested during 2014 and 2013 was $1.0 million and nil, respectively. The deferred stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards was $18.8 million at December 31, 2014 and will be amortized ratably to compensation expense over the remaining vesting period of 4.3 years.

Deferred taxes are the result of temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were comprised of the following:
(a) During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded Measurement Period Adjustments to certain net assets and intangible assets acquired in the Colomer Acquisition on October 9, 2013. Accordingly, the prior period has been retrospectively adjusted for such Measurement Period Adjustments. Refer to Note 2, "Business Combination" for additional details.
As previously disclosed, in assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, management regularly considers whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is generally dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Based on the level of historical losses for certain jurisdictions within the U.S., the Company had maintained a deferred tax valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had experienced improved earnings trends and had cumulative taxable income in such jurisdictions. As a result of such earnings trends and the Company’s tax position, and based upon the Company’s projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are recoverable, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize the benefits of certain of its net deferred tax assets existing at December 31, 2012 in those jurisdictions. Therefore, at December 31, 2012, the Company realized a non-cash benefit of $15.8 million related to a reduction of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance on certain of its net deferred tax assets for certain jurisdictions within the U.S. The Company reflected this benefit in the tax provision and this non-cash benefit increased net income at December 31, 2012.
A valuation allowance has been provided for those deferred tax assets for which, in the opinion of the Company's management, it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2014, the deferred tax valuation allowance primarily represents amounts for foreign tax loss carryforwards and certain U.S. state and local tax loss carryforwards. The deferred tax valuation allowance decreased by $4.6 million and $8.9 million during 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in the deferred tax valuation allowance during 2014 was primarily due to foreign currency translation and the amalgamation of certain foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets in the Professional segment during 2014. The decrease in the deferred tax valuation allowance during 2013 was primarily due to changes in the presentation of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits as a result of its prospective adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 at
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
December 31, 2013, partially offset by a valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets resulting from the Colomer Acquisition.
After December 31, 2014, the Company has tax loss carryforwards of approximately $436.4 million, of which $244.2 million are foreign and $192.2 million are domestic (federal). The losses expire in future years as follows: 2015- $0.3 million; 2016- $4.0 million; 2017- $9.2 million; 2018 and beyond- $236.0 million; and unlimited- $186.9 million. 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, 2014, 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 remains subject to examination of its income tax returns in various jurisdictions including, without limitation, Australia, Canada and Spain for tax years ended December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2013 and South Africa and the U.S. (federal) for tax years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2013. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of the provision for income taxes. During 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income a decrease of $0.9 million and a decrease of $1.7 million, respectively, in accrued interest and penalties.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $62.0 million and $74.5 million, respectively, including $11.3 million and $11.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties. All of the unrecognized tax benefits, to the extent reduced and unutilized in future periods, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
In addition, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits during 2015 will increase by approximately $2.4 million as a result of changes in various tax positions, each of which is individually insignificant.
The Company has not provided for U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on $42.0 million of foreign subsidiaries' cumulative undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2014 because such earnings are intended to be indefinitely reinvested overseas. If these future earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if the Company determines that such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions may be required. Due to the complexities in the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income tax provisions that may be required.
As a result of the closing of the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions (as hereinafter defined in Note 22, “Related Party Transactions - Tax Sharing Agreements”), as of March 25, 2004, Revlon, Inc., 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 22, “Related Party Transactions - Transfer Agreements”), Revlon, Inc., 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, Inc. and Products Corporation or a subsidiary of Products Corporation was a member of the MacAndrews & Forbes Group. In these taxable periods, Revlon, Inc.'s and Products Corporation's federal taxable income and loss were included in such group's consolidated tax return filed by MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated. Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation were also included in certain state and local tax returns of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated or its subsidiaries. Revlon, Inc. 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,
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Inc. 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.
Following the closing of the 2004 Revlon Exchange Transactions, Revlon, Inc. 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, Inc. 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, Inc. 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, Inc. will be required to make payments to the applicable taxing authorities.
There were no federal tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes from Revlon, Inc. to Revlon Holdings pursuant to the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement in 2014 or 2013 with respect to periods covered by the MacAndrews & Forbes Tax Sharing Agreement, and the Company expects that there will not be any such payments in 2015. During 2014, there were $0.3 million of federal tax payments from Products Corporation to Revlon, Inc. pursuant to the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement with respect to 2014 and nil with respect to 2013. During 2013, there was $1.3 million in federal tax payments from Products Corporation to Revlon, Inc. pursuant to the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement with respect to 2012. The Company expects that there will be no federal tax payments from Products Corporation to Revlon, Inc. pursuant to the Revlon Tax Sharing Agreement during 2015 with respect to 2014.
Pursuant to the asset transfer agreement referred to in Note 22, “Related Party Transactions - Transfer Agreements,” Products Corporation assumed all tax liabilities of Revlon Holdings other than (i) certain income tax liabilities arising prior to January 1, 1992 to the extent such liabilities exceeded the reserves on Revlon Holdings' books as of January 1, 1992 or were not of the nature reserved for and (ii) other tax liabilities to the extent such liabilities are related to the business and assets retained by Revlon Holdings.

17. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
(a)
Amounts represent the change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss as a result of the amortization of unrecognized prior service costs and actuarial losses (gains) arising during each year related to the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans. See Note 14, “Savings Plan, Pension and Post-retirement Benefits,” for further discussion of the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans.
(b)
Included in this amount is a $2.0 million reclassification adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2012 related to deferred taxes on the amortization of actuarial losses.
(c)
As a result of the September 2012 Program, the Company recognized a curtailment gain of $1.7 million, partially offset by $0.1 million of accumulated actuarial losses and $0.1 million of prior service costs previously reported within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, for a net gain of $1.5 million, which was recorded within restructuring charges for 2012. See Note 14, “Savings Plan, Pension and Post-retirement Benefits,” for further discussion of the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans.
(d)
For 2014 and 2013, the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was deemed effective and therefore, the changes in fair value related to the 2013 Interest Rate Swap are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income. See Note 13, "Financial Instruments" for further discussion of the 2013 Interest Rate Swap.

In October 2009, Revlon, Inc., amended its certificate of incorporation to (1) clarify that the provision requiring that holders of its Class A Common Stock and holders of its Class B Common Stock receive the same consideration in certain business combinations shall only apply in connection with transactions involving third parties and (2) increase the number of Revlon, Inc.’s authorized shares of preferred stock from 20 million to 50 million and, accordingly, to increase the number of Revlon, Inc.’s authorized shares of capital stock from 1,120 million to 1,150 million. The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote as a single class on all matters, except as otherwise required by law, with each share of Class A Common Stock entitling its holder to one vote and each share of the Class B Common Stock entitling its holder to ten votes. The holders of the Company's two classes of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in the earnings of the Company from dividends, when and if declared by Revlon, Inc.’s Board of Directors. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock.
In October 2013, MacAndrews & Forbes exercised its right under Revlon, Inc.'s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to voluntarily convert all of the 3,125,000 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class B Common Stock (previously held in the name of REV Holdings LLC) on a one-for-one basis into 3,125,000 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock. The shares of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock issued in such conversion were not registered under the Securities Act. As MacAndrews & Forbes is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, such shares were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Appropriate restrictive legends were affixed to the certificate representing the shares of Class A Common Stock issued to REV Holdings LLC in such conversion. Revlon, Inc. did not receive any proceeds in connection with such conversion. As a result of such conversion, as of December 31, 2014 there are no shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.
As of December 31, 2014, after giving effect to the foregoing transactions, MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owned approximately 78% of Revlon, Inc.’s Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 78% of Revlon, Inc.’s outstanding voting capital stock.
Treasury Stock
Pursuant to the share withholding provisions of the Stock Plan, an employee, in lieu of paying withholding taxes on the vesting of certain shares of restricted stock, authorized the withholding of 22,328 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock to satisfy its minimum statutory tax withholding requirements related to such vesting events on October 28, 2014. These shares were recorded as treasury stock using the cost method, at $33.54 per share, based on the NYSE closing price per share on the applicable vesting date, for a total of $0.7 million. During 2012, a total of 83,582 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock were withheld to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements related to the vesting of shares of restricted stock in the aggregate amount of $1.2 million.

19. SEGMENT DATA AND RELATED INFORMATION
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 “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, marketing and distribution processes for all of the Company’s products, much of the information provided in the consolidated financial statements is similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Company's management.
At December 31, 2014, the Company’s operations are organized into the following two operating segments, which also represent the Company’s reportable segments:
•
Consumer - The Consumer segment is comprised of the Company's consumer brands, which primarily include Revlon, Almay, SinfulColors and Pure Ice in cosmetics; Revlon ColorSilk in women’s hair color; Revlon in beauty tools; and Mitchum in anti-perspirant deodorants. The Company’s principal customers for its consumer products include the mass retail channel, consisting of large mass volume retailers and chain drug and food stores in the U.S. and internationally, as well as certain department stores and other specialty stores, such as perfumeries, outside the U.S. The Consumer segment also includes a skincare and hair color line sold in the mass retail channel, primarily in Spain, which were acquired as part of the Colomer Acquisition.
•
Professional - The Professional segment is comprised primarily of the brands which the Company acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which include Revlon Professional in hair color and hair care; CND-branded products in nail polishes and nail enhancements; and American Crew in men’s grooming products, all of which are sold worldwide in the professional salon channel. The Company’s principal customers for its professional products include hair and nail salons and distributors in the U.S. and internationally. The Professional segment also includes a multi-cultural line consisting of Creme of Nature hair care products sold in the mass retail channel and in professional salons, primarily in the U.S.
The Company's management evaluates segment profit, which is defined 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, for each of the Company's Consumer and Professional segments. Segment profit also excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the segments' underlying operating performance, which includes the impacts of: (i) restructuring and related charges; (ii) acquisition and integration costs; (iii) costs of sales resulting from a fair value adjustment to inventory acquired in the Colomer Acquisition; (iv) insurance proceeds received in 2013 related to the 2011 fire that destroyed the Company's facility in Venezuela; (v) insurance proceeds from the recovery of litigation settlements; and (vi) an accrual for estimated clean-up costs related to the Company's facility in Venezuela. Such items are shown below in the table reconciling segment profit to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses related to the corporate organization. These expenses are recorded in unallocated corporate expenses as these items are centrally directed and controlled and are not included in internal measures of segment operating performance. 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 assets and liabilities of the Company are managed centrally and are reported internally in the same manner as the consolidated financial statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s operating segments is produced for the Company's management or included in these financial statements.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The following table is a comparative summary of the Company’s net sales and segment profit by operating segment for each of 2014, 2013 and 2012. In the table below, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2014. Consumer segment net sales and segment profit include the results of retail brands acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which had been included in the Professional segment in Revlon, Inc.'s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(a) Consumer segment net sales and segment profit include the results of retail brands acquired in the Colomer Acquisition, which had previously been included in the Professional segment.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had operations established in 24 countries outside of the U.S. and its products are sold throughout the world. Generally, net sales by geographic area are presented by attributing revenues from external customers on the basis of where the products are sold. Walmart and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 16%, 20% and 22% of the Company’s worldwide net sales in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
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. As is customary in the consumer products industry, none of the Company’s customers is under an obligation to continue purchasing products from the Company in the future.
In the tables below, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
20. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Shares used in basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares used in diluted earnings (loss) per share include the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock and outstanding stock options under the Company’s Stock Plan using the treasury stock method. For 2013 and 2012 all outstanding options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock that could potentially dilute basic earnings (loss) per common share in the future were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive, as in each case their exercise price was in excess of the average NYSE closing price of the Class A Common Stock for these periods. At December 31, 2014, there were no outstanding stock options under the Company's Stock Plan.
For each of 2013 and 2012, 20,437 and 3,354 weighted average shares, respectively of unvested restricted stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. No unvested restricted stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share at December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
The components of basic and diluted earnings per common share for each of 2014, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Products Corporation currently leases manufacturing, executive, research and development, and sales facilities and various types of equipment under operating and capital lease agreements. Rental expense was $26.6 million, $19.8 million and $16.2 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Minimum rental commitments under all noncancelable leases, including those pertaining to idled facilities, are presented below.
The Company is 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, financial condition and/or its results of operations. 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.
As previously announced, in October 2009, the Company consummated its voluntary exchange offer in which, among other things, Revlon, Inc. issued to stockholders who elected to exchange shares (other than MacAndrews & Forbes) 9,336,905 shares of its Preferred Stock in exchange for the same number of shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock tendered in the Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Offer”). During 2009, several class action lawsuits were brought against the Company, Revlon, Inc.’s then directors and MacAndrews & Forbes (collectively, “Defendants”) related to the 2009 Exchange Offer. Plaintiffs in each of these actions sought, among other things, an award of damages and the costs and disbursements of such actions, including a reasonable allowance for the fees and expenses of each such plaintiff’s attorneys and experts.
Although the Company continued to believe that it had meritorious defenses to the asserted claims in the actions, the Defendants and plaintiffs agreed to the terms of a settlement and in October 2012, which at the time was pending approval from the courts to which it was presented, executed the settlement agreements to resolve all claims in all of the actions (the “Settlement”).
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
In 2012, the Company recorded a charge of $8.9 million with respect to the Company’s then-estimated costs of resolving the actions, including the Company’s estimate at that time of additional payments to be made to the settling stockholders. This charge was included within SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for 2012.
The class action settlement was conditioned, and became effective in August 2013, upon final approval of the derivative action settlement and final dismissal of the actions pending outside of the Delaware Court of Chancery. In August 2013, a payment of $8.9 million, representing the Company's allocable portion of the settlement amount, was made to settle all amounts owed by the Company in connection with the settlement agreements.
Revlon, Inc. agreed with the staff of the SEC (or the “Commission”) on the terms of a proposed settlement of an investigation relating to certain disclosures made by Revlon, Inc. in its public filings in 2009 in connection with the 2009 Exchange Offer. In June 2013, the Commission approved such settlement and Revlon, Inc. entered into the settlement without admitting or denying the findings set forth therein and, pursuant to its terms, Revlon, Inc., among other things, paid a civil penalty of $850,000. The settlement amount was previously accrued in the fourth quarter of 2012 within SG&A expenses and accrued expenses and other in Revlon, Inc.'s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2013, Revlon, Inc. received a final payment of approximately $1.8 million of insurance proceeds in connection with matters related to the 2009 Exchange Offer. These proceeds were recorded as a gain within SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for 2013.
22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 2014, MacAndrews & Forbes beneficially owned approximately 78% of Revlon, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock representing approximately 78% of Revlon, Inc.’s outstanding shares of voting capital stock. As a result, MacAndrews & Forbes is able to elect Revlon, Inc.’s entire Board of Directors and control the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of Revlon, Inc.'s stockholders. MacAndrews & Forbes is wholly-owned by Ronald O. Perelman, Chairman of Revlon, Inc.’s Board of Directors.
Transfer Agreements
In June 1992, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into an asset transfer agreement with Revlon Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and formerly a Delaware corporation known as Revlon Holdings Inc. ("Revlon Holdings"), and which is an affiliate and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes, and certain of Revlon Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiaries. Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation also entered into a real property asset transfer agreement with Revlon Holdings. Pursuant to such agreements, in June 1992, Revlon Holdings transferred certain assets to Products Corporation and Products Corporation assumed all of the liabilities of Revlon Holdings, other than certain specifically excluded assets and liabilities (the liabilities excluded are referred to as the "Excluded Liabilities"). Certain consumer products lines sold in demonstrator-assisted distribution channels considered not integral to the Company's business and that historically had not been profitable and certain other assets and liabilities were retained by Revlon Holdings. Revlon Holdings agreed to indemnify Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation against losses arising from the Excluded Liabilities, and Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation agreed to indemnify Revlon Holdings against losses arising from the liabilities assumed by Products Corporation. The amounts reimbursed by Revlon Holdings to Products Corporation for the Excluded Liabilities was $0.2 million for each of 2014 and 2013, and $0.3 million for 2012. A $0.1 million receivable balance from MacAndrews & Forbes was included within prepaid expenses and other in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets for transactions subject to the Transfer Agreements, at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Reimbursement Agreements
Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews & Forbes Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes) have entered into reimbursement agreements (the "Reimbursement Agreements") pursuant to which (i) MacAndrews & Forbes Inc. is obligated to provide (directly or through its affiliates) certain professional and administrative services, including, without limitation, employees, to Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, Products Corporation, and to purchase services from third party providers, such as insurance, legal, accounting and air transportation services, on behalf of Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Products Corporation, 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 purchased for or provided by MacAndrews & Forbes to the Company and its subsidiaries and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MacAndrews
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
& Forbes in connection with the provision of such services. MacAndrews & Forbes reimburses Products Corporation for the allocable costs of the services purchased for or provided by Products Corporation to MacAndrews & Forbes and for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or provision of such services. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and MacAndrews & Forbes Inc., 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 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.
The net activity related to services provided and/or (purchased) under the Reimbursement Agreements during 2014 was $(3.8) million, which primarily included partial payments made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during the first quarter of 2014 for premiums related to the Company's allocable portion of the 5-year renewal of the D&O Insurance Program for the period from January 31, 2012 through January 31, 2017. The net activity related to services provided and/or (purchased) under the Reimbursement Agreements during 2013 was $(4.4) million, which primarily included a $6.1 million partial payment made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during the first quarter of 2013 for premiums related to the Company's allocable portion of the 5-year renewal of the D&O Insurance Program for the period from January 31, 2012 through January 31, 2017, partially offset by a $1.8 million payment from MacAndrews & Forbes for reimbursable costs incurred by the Company related to matters covered by the D&O Insurance Program. The net activity related to services provided and/or purchased under the Reimbursement Agreements during 2012 was $3.3 million, which primarily included a $18.0 million payment from MacAndrews & Forbes for reimbursable costs incurred by the Company related to matters covered by the D&O Insurance Program, partially offset by the initial $14.6 million partial pre-payment made by the Company to MacAndrews & Forbes during the first quarter of 2012 for premiums related to the Company’s allocable portion of the D&O Insurance Program. The receivable balances from MacAndrews & Forbes were nil at both December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for transactions subject to the 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, Inc., 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 16, “Income Taxes,” for further discussion on these agreements and related transactions in 2014, 2013 and 2012.
Registration Rights Agreement
Prior to the consummation of Revlon, Inc.'s initial public equity offering in February 1996, Revlon, Inc. 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, Inc., 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, Inc.'s Common Stock held by REV Holdings (the "Holders") had the right to require Revlon, Inc. 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, Inc.'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 the closing of 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, Inc.’s March 2006 $110 million rights offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock and related private placement to MacAndrews & Forbes, and Revlon, Inc.’s January 2007 $100 million rights offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock and related private placement to MacAndrews & Forbes.
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Revlon, Inc. may postpone giving effect to a Demand Registration for a period of up to 30 days if Revlon, Inc. believes such registration might have a material adverse effect on any plan or proposal by Revlon, Inc. with respect to any financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, or if Revlon, Inc. 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, Inc. In addition, the Holders have the right to participate in registrations by Revlon, Inc. 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, Inc. 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.
Other
As disclosed in Note 21, “Commitments and Contingencies,” during 2012, Revlon, Inc. and MacAndrews & Forbes entered into settlement agreements in connection with the previously disclosed litigation actions related to the 2009 Exchange Offer. Such settlements became effective in August 2013 and resulted in total cash payments of approximately $36.9 million to settle all actions and related claims by Revlon, Inc.’s stockholders, of which $23.5 million were paid from insurance proceeds. In August 2013, a payment of $8.9 million, representing the Company's allocable portion of the settlement amount, was made to settle all amounts owed by Revlon, Inc. in connection with the settlement agreements. The Company previously recorded the $8.9 million charge during 2012, which represented Revlon, Inc.’s allocable portion of the total settlement payments not expected to be covered by insurance. Additionally, in September 2013, Revlon, Inc. received a final payment of approximately $1.8 million of insurance proceeds in connection with matters related to the 2009 Exchange Offer. These proceeds are recorded as a gain within SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for 2013.
Certain of Products Corporation’s debt obligations, including the Amended Credit Agreements and Products Corporation's 5¾% Senior Notes, have been, and may in the future be, supported by, among other things, subject to certain limited exceptions, all of the domestic subsidiaries of Products Corporation and, for the Amended Credit Agreements, guarantees from Revlon, Inc. The obligations under such guarantees are secured by, among other things, the capital stock of Products Corporation and, subject to certain limited exceptions, the capital stock of all of Products Corporation's domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock of Products Corporation's and its domestic subsidiaries' first-tier foreign subsidiaries. See Note 11, “Long Term Debt,” for a discussion of the terms of the Amended Credit Agreements and 5¾% Senior Notes.
23. QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)
The following is a summary of the Company’s unaudited quarterly results of operations for each of 2014 and 2013:
REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(except where otherwise noted, all tabular amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)
(*)
The sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts does not equal the annual amount reported since per share amounts are computed independently for each quarter and for the full year based upon the respective weighted-average common shares outstanding and other dilutive potential common shares for each respective period.
(a)
Income from continuing operations, net income and basic and diluted income per share for the first quarter of 2014 were unfavorably impacted by restructuring charges of $13.5 million related to the Integration Program, as well as $3.8 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the Colomer Acquisition (See Note 2, "Business Combinations," and Note 3, “Restructuring Charges”). Additionally, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company incurred a $1.9 million aggregate loss on early extinguishment of debt due to the February 2014 Term Loan Amendment. (See Note 11, “Long-Term Debt”).
(b)
Income from continuing operations, net income and basic and diluted income per share for the second and third quarter of 2014 were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency losses, net, of $7.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, related to the required re-measurement of Revlon Venezuela's monetary assets and liabilities at June 30, 2014, and the results of unfavorable impacts of the revaluation of certain U.S. Dollar denominated intercompany payables during the third quarter of 2014. (See Note 1, "Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Foreign Currency Translation" for further discussion on Venezuela currency restrictions and related devaluation).
(c)
(Loss) income from discontinued operations includes the results of the Company's China operations (See Note 4, "Discontinued Operations").
(d)
(Loss) income from continuing operations, net (loss) and basic and diluted (loss) per share for the first quarter of 2013 were unfavorably impacted by a $27.9 million aggregate loss on early extinguishment of debt due to the 2013 Senior Notes Refinancing and the February 2013 Term Loan Amendments. (See Note 11, “Long-Term Debt”).
(e)
(Loss) income from continuing operations, net (loss) income and basic and diluted (loss) income per share for the first quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2013 were favorably impacted by an $8.3 million and an $18.1 million, respectively, gain from insurance proceeds due to the settlement of the Company's claims for the loss of inventory, business interruption and property losses as a result of the fire at the Company's Venezuela facility.
(f)
(Loss) from continuing operations, net (loss) and basic and diluted (loss) per share for the fourth quarter of 2013 were unfavorably impacted by $19.1 million of acquisition and integration costs related to the Colomer Acquisition. Additionally, the Company incurred $21.4 million of restructuring and related charges in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the December 2013 Program, of which $20.0 million relates to the Company's exit of its business operations in China which was recorded in loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes.
