Revlon‘s (NYSE: REV) top line declined to $606.8 million, down 6% on a y-o-y basis in the recent Q2 earnings,  primarily driven by net sales declines in the Revlon, Portfolio, and Fragrances segments, with a slight offset by net sales growth within the Elizabeth Arden segment.

Revlon operates under four global brand teams reporting its results under four new segments: Revlon, Elizabeth Arden, Portfolio brands, and Fragrances. Of these 4 segments, EA and the Portfolio segment have been profitable for Revlon and are gradually getting stronger contributors in the top line of the Company.

During recent earnings of Q2 FY2018, the Elizabeth Arden segment reported sales of $106.1 million, increased 4.9% y-o-y driven by Elizabeth Arden skin care products, including Ceramide and Prevage, largely in international markets and is likely to get stronger. Portfolio brands reported sales of $147.6 million, a 2.9% increase over 2017, driven by higher net sales of Almay color cosmetics following the brand’s relaunch, as well as higher net sales of CND nail products due to shellac innovation.  On the other hand the Revlon segment decreased by 10.8% y-o-y to $258.3 million, driven by a downturn in the net sales of Revlon color cosmetics and Revlon ColorSilk hair color and Fragrance sales decreased 15.1% to $94.8 million due largely to loss of licenses.
