SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and include the Company’s consolidated domestic and international subsidiaries. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. All dollar amounts (other than per share amounts) in the following discussion are in millions of United States (“U.S.”) dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents funds that are not readily available for general purpose cash needs due to contractual limitations. Restricted cash is classified as a current or long-term asset based on the timing and nature of when or how the cash is expected to be used or when the restrictions are expected to lapse. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company had restricted cash of $33.5 and $36.9, respectively, included in Restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2023 primarily provides collateral for certain bank guarantees on rent, customs and duty accounts and also consists of collections on factored receivables that remain unremitted to the factor as of December 31, 2023. Restricted cash is included as a component of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Equity Investments

The Company elected the fair value option to account for its investment in Rainbow JVCO LTD and subsidiaries (together, "Wella" or the “Wella Company”) to align with the Company’s strategy for this investment. The fair value is updated on a quarterly basis. The investment is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the fair value of the investment using a combination of the income approach, the market approach and private transactions, when applicable. Changes in the fair value of equity investment under the fair value option are recorded in Other income, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 6—Equity Investments).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, the net realizable value of inventory, the fair value of equity investments, the assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for

impairment and income taxes. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions will be reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.

Tax Information

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 27.7% and 13.8%, respectively, and 36.4% and 22.4%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2022, is primarily due to the foreign exchange loss recognized on repatriation of funds in the prior year that were previously taxed. The change in the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2023, as compared with the six months ended December 31, 2022, is primarily due to an expense of $24.3 in the current period recognized on the revaluation of the Company's deferred tax liabilities due to a tax rate increase enacted in Switzerland.

The effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to the effect of (i) jurisdictions with different statutory rates, including impacts of rate changes, (ii) adjustments to the Company’s unrealized tax benefits (“UTBs”) and accrued interest, (iii) non-deductible expenses, (iv) audit settlements and (v) valuation allowance changes.

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the gross amount of UTBs was $229.7 and $235.5, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the total amount of UTBs that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate is $180.0. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the liability associated with UTBs, including accrued interest and penalties, was $215.6 and $218.6, respectively, which was recorded in Income and other taxes payable and Other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to UTBs was $0.7 and $0.1 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2.0 and $1.4 for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The total gross accrued interest and penalties recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 was $35.1 and $33.1, respectively. On the basis of the information available as of December 31, 2023, it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $26.5 in UTBs may occur within twelve months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and a potential lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations.

Russia Market Exit

In connection with the Company’s Board of Director’s decision to wind down operations in Russia, the Company recognized total pre-tax losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of $0.0 and $0.1, respectively, in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023. The Company recognized total pre-tax gains in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of $16.8 and $15.7, respectively, in the three and six months ended December 31, 2022.

The Company anticipates that it will incur an immaterial amount of additional costs through completion of the wind down. Additionally, management anticipates derecognizing the cumulative translation adjustment balance pertaining to the Russian subsidiary. The Company has substantially completed the exit of its commercial activities in Russia. However, the Company anticipates that the process related to the liquidation of the Russian legal entity will take an extended period of time.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands income tax disclosure requirements to include additional information related to the rate reconciliation of our effective tax rates to statutory rates, as well as additional disaggregation of taxes paid. The amendments in the ASU also remove disclosures related to certain unrecognized tax benefits and deferred taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2026. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the requirements on its disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in the ASU require that a public entity discloses, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to an entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. Annual disclosures are required for the Company in fiscal 2025. Interim disclosures are required for periods within fiscal years beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the requirements on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
