DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Coty Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Coty”) manufacture, market, sell and distribute branded beauty products, including fragrances, color cosmetics, hair care products and skin & body related products. Coty is a global beauty company with a strategic vision to be a new global leader and challenger in the beauty industry. The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with a year-end of June 30. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word “fiscal” refers to the fiscal year ended June 30 of that year. For example, references to “fiscal 2018” refer to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The Company’s revenues generally increase during the second fiscal quarter as a result of increased demand associated with the holiday season. Working capital requirements, sales, and cash flows generally experience variability during the three to six months buildup preceding the holiday season. Product innovations, new product launches and the size and timing of certain orders from the Company’s customers may also result in variability. The Company also generally experiences higher sales during its fourth fiscal quarter in its Professional Beauty segment as a result of higher demand prior to the summer holiday season.
