“Our FY24 results set a new milestone in Coty’s sustained track record of top-notch execution and market outperformance. In a dynamic macroeconomic backdrop, beauty maintains its privileged position, being neither a consumer goods industry nor a luxury goods industry. Instead, beauty is at the sweet-spot of desire, well-being, self-confidence, affordability, ritual, indulgence, and many new things that we and our consumers will invent," said Sue Nabi, Coty’s CEO. 

Outlook: Coty sees free cash flow growth to the low to mid $400 million range for fiscal year 2025 and earnings per share in a range of 54 cents to 57 cents, versus the 44-cent estimate.  

COTY Price Action: According to Benzinga Pro, Coty shares are up 0.21% after-hours at $9.55 at the time of publication Tuesday.
