Founded in 1904, Coty Inc. is one of the world’s largest beauty companies with an iconic portfolio of brands across fragrance, color cosmetics, and skin and body care.
We have been engaged in the process of strategic planning and portfolio assessment designed to position the Company for consistent, profitable growth. In September 2025, we announced a strategic review of the Company’s consumer beauty business, including its mass color cosmetics business and associated brands and the Company’s distinct Brazil business comprised of local Brazilian brands. In January 2026, Markus Strobel was appointed as our Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer, and in March 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed five new independent directors. While our long-term objectives remain focused on value creation, growth, profitability, and deleveraging, our Interim CEO continues to conduct a comprehensive review of the business to assess opportunities to enhance performance, strengthen competitive positioning, and improve execution across key areas. We are focused on leveraging our leadership position and capabilities in global fragrances to fuel expansion. We will continue strengthening our presence in a limited number of structurally profitable and growing beauty categories, in growth channels such as e-commerce and the Travel Retail channel, all while continuing to deliver against our key sustainability priorities. We have sharpened our priorities to capitalize on structural tailwinds in the fragrance market, while responding to recent performance challenges. Through our Coty.Curated strategic framework, we are focused on fewer, bigger and better initiatives, greater marketing sufficiency, improved supply reliability, stronger consumer engagement and advocacy, and more productive innovation and portfolio choices. In both Prestige and Consumer Beauty, we are focused on returning to market share growth, accelerating data-driven operations powered by AI, and improving our advocacy capability and execution. We are also evaluating our central organization, manufacturing and asset base, and certain market structures to adjust our scope and size for our future business.
