Coty Inc. COTY Q4 2026 Annual earnings

“We closed FY26 on a stronger note, delivering sales and profit ahead of our targets, growing free cash flow even in the face of business headwinds, all while establishing a clear strategic framework and taking decisive action to steadily strengthen our core business in FY27 and beyond. We were pleased to return to reported sales growth, with Q4 sales up 1% year-over-year and a significant sequential improvement in our like-for-like (LFL) trends to down 1%, despite incurring an estimated 1% headwind to sales from the Middle East conflict. It's encouraging to see closer alignment between our sell-in and sell-out. However, we are not content with our sell-out performance, which remains below market levels in both divisions, and steadily closing that gap remains a clear priority across the organization.”
