Revlon, Inc. (NYSE:REV) Files An 8-K Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

As previously announced, on September 7, 2016, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation ("RCPC" and together with its direct parent company, Revlon, Inc. (“Revlon”), and RCPC’s subsidiaries, the "Company") completed the acquisition of Elizabeth Arden, Inc. (“Elizabeth Arden”). On December 22, 2016 the Company determined to begin the process of implementing certain integration activities, including consolidating offices, eliminating certain duplicative activities and streamlining back-office support, in connection with integrating the Elizabeth Arden and Revlon organizations (the “Integration Restructuring Actions”) and the Company has identified certain restructuring costs that will be incurred as a result of implementing such actions. On January 3, 2017, the Company will begin informing certain employees that will be affected by the Integration Restructuring Actions.

The Integration Restructuring Actions, along with other actions still under review, are designed to reduce the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result of the Integration Restructuring Actions, the Company expects to eliminate approximately 350 positions worldwide. While certain of the Integration Restructuring Actions may be subject to consultations with employees, works councils, unions and/or governmental authorities, the Company currently expects to substantially complete these actions by the end of 2020.

In connection with implementing the Integration Restructuring Actions, the Company expects to recognize approximately $65 million to $75 million of total pre-tax restructuring and related charges (the “Integration Restructuring Charges”), consisting of: (i) approximately $40 million to $50 million of employee-related costs, including severance, retention and other contractual termination benefits; (ii) approximately $15 million of lease termination costs; and (iii) approximately $10 million of other related charges. Of these Integration Restructuring Charges, the Company expects that it will record for 2016 an estimated pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $30 million.

The Company expects that all of the Integration Restructuring Charges will be paid in cash, with approximately $30 million to $40 million expected to be paid in 2017, with the remaining balance to be paid through 2020.

As a result of the Integration Restructuring Actions, as well as other actions that the Company is continuing to evaluate related to integrating the Elizabeth Arden organization into the Company’s business, the Company has identified incremental annualized synergies and cost reductions that are expected to significantly exceed the previously-disclosed $140 million in annualized synergies and cost reductions. The Company anticipates that it will incur significant integration-related capital expenditures and non-restructuring integration costs related to these actions. However, the Company is still finalizing and fine-tuning its integration cost reduction estimates, as well as related non-restructuring costs and integration-related capital expenditures and, therefore, total integration program estimates are not available at this time.

Factors other than those referred to above, including as described in Revlon’s Form 10-Ks, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks filed with the SEC in 2016 and 2017, could also cause the Company’s results to differ materially from expected results.
