("Revlon" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") conducts its business exclusively through its direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("Products Corporation"), and its subsidiaries, including Elizabeth Arden, Inc. ("Elizabeth Arden").

Perelman. We are a leading global beauty company with an iconic portfolio of brands. We manufacture, market and sell an extensive array of color cosmetics, hair color, hair care and hair treatments, fragrances, skincare, beauty tools, men’s grooming products, anti-perspirant deodorants and other beauty care products across a variety of distribution channels.

The Company has strategic brand builders developing a diverse portfolio of iconic brands that delight consumers around the world wherever and however they shop for beauty. The Company strives to be an ethical company that values inclusive leadership and is committed to sustainable and responsible growth.

CBB develops, manufactures, markets and distributes fragrances and other beauty products under a variety of celebrity, lifestyle and fashion brands licensed from third parties, principally through department stores and selective distribution in international territories.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company after the elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions.

The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to, 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 goodwill, 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. The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Revlon, Inc.'s 2015 Form 10-K.

The Company's results of operations and financial position for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for a full year.

Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent within a company's balance sheet. Under previous guidance, the Company was required to separate deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts. Netting deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities by tax jurisdiction is still required under ASU 2015-17. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the Company's previously recorded deferred tax assets were adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-17. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 resulted in no adjustment to the Company’s results of operations and stockholders’ deficiency and had the following impact on the previously reported Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015:



Consolidated Balance Sheets	Total as reported at 12/31/2015			Adjustment			Total as adjusted at 12/31/2015
Deferred income taxes - current	$	58.0		$	(58.0	)	$	—
Deferred income taxes - noncurrent	40.3			31.0			71.3
Other long-term liabilities	97.8			(27.0		)	70.8

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	Total as reported at 9/30/2015			Adjustment			Total as adjusted at 9/30/2015
Increase in prepaid expense and other current assets	$	(20.3	)	$	(0.2	)	$	(20.5	)
Decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(16.4		)	(0.1		)	(16.5		)
Increase in other, net	(11.8		)	0.3			(11.5		)

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments," which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-16 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the financial statements as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 beginning on January 1, 2016 and the Company's previously recorded other assets and long-term debt were adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 resulted in no adjustment to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficiency and had the following impact on the previously reported Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015:



Consolidated Balance Sheets	Total as reported at 12/31/2015		Adjustment			Total as adjusted at 12/31/2015
Long-Term Debt	$	1,803.7	$	(20.0	)	$	1,783.7
Other Assets	104.1		(20.0		)	84.1

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 ASU No. 2014-15, 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 under ASU No. 2014-15 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 adopted ASU No. 2014-15 beginning January 1, 2016 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and financial statement disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Receipts and Cash Payments” which aims to standardize how certain transactions are classified within the Statement of Cash Flows, including, among other issues, debt prepayment and extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-15 beginning on January 1, 2018 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.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including transactions in which an employee uses shares to satisfy the employer’s minimum statutory income tax withholding obligation, forfeitures and income taxes when awards vest or are settled. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-09 beginning on 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 financial statement disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to adjustment such as for initial direct costs. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2016-02 beginning on January 1, 2019 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.
