Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Operating and reportable segments (referred to as “segments”) reflect the way the Company is managed and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has designated its Chief Executive Officer as the CODM.
On July 1, 2019, the Company announced its turnaround plan, which included the Company’s CODM changing the reporting structure used to allocate resources from the previous category focused organizational structure that included three operating and reportable segments: Luxury, Consumer Beauty and Professional Beauty, to a structure based on regional commercial business units. These changes were implemented during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
As a result of these changes, the Company has four operating segments and reportable segments: Europe, Middle East & Africa (“EMEA”); Americas; Asia Pacific; and Professional Beauty. EMEA, Americas and Asia Pacific include the businesses focused on prestige fragrances, premium skin care, premium color cosmetics, mass color cosmetics, retail hair coloring and styling products, mass fragrance, mass skin care and body care, and are supported by central marketing teams.
The Company has recast its results for each quarter of fiscal 2019, fiscal year 2019 and the first and second quarters of fiscal 2020 to reflect the changes in its segments in Exhibit 99.1.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
