NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share data)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2020 Form 10-K") in preparing these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, other than those impacted by new accounting standards as described below. On January 3, 2020, we completed the Agreement and Plan of Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) ("Natura Cosméticos"), Natura &Co Holding S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) ("Natura &Co Holding"), and two subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding ("Natura &Co") pursuant to which, in a series of transactions (the "Transaction"). Upon the consummation of the Transaction, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding; and Avon's common stock ceased to be traded on the NYSE. The Company files these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements with the SEC as a voluntary filer to comply with the terms of certain debt instruments. For additional information, see Note 17, Agreement and Plan of Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A.

In our opinion, the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. You should read these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2020 Form 10-K. When used in this report, the terms "Avon," "Company," "we" or "us" mean Avon Products, Inc.

For interim Consolidated Financial Statements purposes, we generally provide for accruals under our various employee benefit plans for each quarter based on one quarter of the estimated annual expense, and adjust these accruals as estimates are refined. In addition, our income tax provision is determined using an estimate of our consolidated annual effective tax rate, adjusted in the current period for discrete income tax items including:

•the effects of significant, unusual or extraordinary pretax and income tax items, if any;

•the impact of changes in tax legislation, if any;

•withholding taxes recognized associated with cash repatriations; and

•the impact of loss-making subsidiaries for which we cannot recognize an income tax benefit and subsidiaries for which an effective tax rate cannot be reliably estimated.

Sale of Avon Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l

On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding for $150, with the proceeds used to repay maturing loans of $150 borrowed under the $250 Revolving Credit Facility with a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding.

The sale was accounted for as a transaction under common control in accordance with ASC805 - Business Combinations, with the resulting gain of $148, representing the difference between the proceeds, the net assets of Avon Luxembourg on the date of sale, and the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, taken directly to Retained Earnings. This has been treated as a non cash flow item in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Deficit and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

COVID-19 Pandemic

We continuously monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets in which we operate, acting to minimize impacts on operations and the equity and financial position. Management is implementing appropriate measures to ensure the continuity of operations, protect cash, improve liquidity and promote health and safety for all stakeholders.

During the third quarter of 2021, most markets in Avon International and many markets in Avon Latin America continued to be impacted by COVID-19 restrictions which resulted in deceleration of the Beauty market growth and a lower representative base. It is unclear if current lockdown measures will continue or be reestablished elsewhere globally which could dampen our recovery from COVID-19.

Considering this scenario, we review the recoverability expectations of our financial and non-financial assets in the preparation of this interim accounting information, considering the most recent information available and reflected in the Company's business plans. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, no deterioration in the Company's liquidity, cash position or leverage that could impact compliance with financial covenants and short-term commitments was identified.

Considering the uncertain nature of any possible future COVID-19 impacts which are beyond the Company’s control, we might expect some negative impact on revenue from COVID-19 to continue for the remainder of 2021, which will, in turn, result in lower cash generation from activities. If the downturn is deeper or for longer than we anticipate, the Company could take certain further actions to ease the pressure of certain cash outflows, such as reducing discretionary expenditure, selling non-core assets, accessing government pandemic initiatives or arranging borrowing facilities with third-party banks and affiliate companies. Our projections indicate that we should have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations to parties other than Natura &Co and its affiliates for a period of not less than 12 months from the issuance date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has received an irrevocable commitment from Natura &Co Holding that it will provide sufficient financial support if and when needed to enable the Company to meet its operating and financing obligations as they come due in the normal course of business for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements. This support also includes the loan originally issued by a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding to a subsidiary of the Company of $960, part of which was repaid in July 2021 with the proceeds from a loan maturing in 2028, with the balance now due on November 2, 2022. As a result, the outstanding loan balances due to subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding on September 30, 2021 stood at $149 maturing within one year, $206 maturing in November 2022 and $767 maturing in 2028.

Accounting Standards Implemented

ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2019-12"), Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify the accounting standard and improve the usefulness of information provided in the financial statements. We adopted this new accounting guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

The Company has implemented a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR and, as a result, has elected to apply the optional expedient included in ASU 2020-04 to account for modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, to be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE AND DIVESTITURES

Discontinued Operations

On March 1, 2016, the Company completed the separation of the North America business, which represented the Company’s operations in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, from the Company into New Avon Company, formerly New Avon, LLC ("New Avon"), a privately held company majority-owned and managed by Cerberus NA Investor LLC (an affiliate of Cerberus). From that date, the resolution of contingent liabilities and corresponding costs relating to Avon’s ownership and operation of the North America business prior to its separation from the Company into New Avon have been treated as discontinued operations.

* The three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 include approximately $12 and $22, respectively, to reflect the impact of certain Brazil indirect taxes which were recorded in product sales, in our Consolidated Income Statements. See Note 10 Supplemental Balance Sheet Information, to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein for further information.    

Contract balances

The timing of revenue recognition generally is different from the timing of a promise made to a Representative. As a result, we have contract liabilities, which primarily relate to the advance consideration received from Representatives prior to transfer of the related good or service for material rights, such as loyalty points and status programs, and are primarily classified within other accrued liabilities (with the long-term portion in other liabilities) in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Generally, we record accounts receivable when we invoice a Representative. In addition, we record an estimate of an allowance for doubtful accounts on receivable balances based on an analysis of historical data and current circumstances, including seasonality, changing trends and the impact of COVID-19. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed for adequacy, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. We generally have no detailed information concerning, or any communication with, any ultimate consumer of our products beyond the Representative. We have no legal recourse against the ultimate consumer for the collection of any accounts receivable balances due from the Representative to us. If the financial condition of the Representatives were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

The following table provides information about receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Accounts receivable, net of allowances of $37.0 and $51.1	$	210.0	$	259.1
Contract liabilities	$	33.2	$	52.1

The contract liability balances relate to certain material rights (loyalty points, status program and prospective discounts). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $38.3 of revenue related to the contract liability balance at the beginning of the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, as the result of performance obligations satisfied. In addition, we deferred an additional $24.3 related to certain material rights granted during the period, for which the performance obligations are not yet satisfied. Of the amount deferred during the period, substantially all will be recognized within a year, with the significant majority to be captured within a quarter. The remaining movement in the contract liability balance is attributable to foreign exchange differences arising on the translation of the balance as at September 30, 2021 as compared with December 31, 2020, and the sale of Avon Luxembourg.

7. CONTINGENCIES

Brazilian Tax Assessments

Tax on Manufactured Products – minimum pricing rules

In December 2012 and in October 2017, our Brazilian subsidiary, Avon Industrial LTDA (Avon Brazil Manufacturing) received excise tax ("IPI") assessments for the years 2008 and 2014.

As in prior IPI cases that have been resolved in Avon’s favor, the assessments assert that the establishment in 1995 of separate manufacturing and distribution companies in Brazil was done without a valid business purpose, and that Avon Brazil Manufacturing did not observe minimum pricing rules to define the taxable basis of the tax on manufactured products. The structure adopted in 1995 is comparable to that used by many other companies in Brazil. We believe that our Brazilian corporate structure is appropriate, both operationally and legally, and that the assessments are unfounded.

These matters are being contested at the administrative court, where proceedings are currently in progress. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total amount under discussion classified as reasonably possible was $366 and $378, respectively.

Tax on Manufactured Products – Decree equated certain commercial companies (not subject to IPI taxation) to industrial companies (IPI taxpayers)

In May 2015, an executive decree established the levy of IPI on the sales of cosmetic products by Avon Brazil. Avon Brazil filed an objection to this levy on the basis that it is not constitutional since this tax is already paid by Avon Brazil Manufacturing. In December 2016, Avon Brazil received a favorable decision from the Federal District Court regarding this objection. This decision has been appealed by the Federal Tax Authority. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total amount under discussion classified as reasonably possible was $241 and $231, respectively.

Talc-Related Litigation

The Company has been named a defendant in numerous personal injury lawsuits filed in U.S. courts, alleging that certain talc products the Company sold in the past were contaminated with asbestos. Many of these actions involve a number of co-defendants from a variety of different industries, including manufacturers of cosmetics and manufacturers of other products that, unlike the Company’s products, were designed to contain asbestos. As of September 30, 2021, there were 152 individual cases pending against the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 33 new cases were filed and 10 cases were dismissed, settled or otherwise resolved. The value of the settlements was not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Additional similar cases arising out of the use of the Company’s talc products are reasonably anticipated.

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

We believe that the claims asserted against us in these cases are without merit. We are defending vigorously against these claims and will continue to do so. To date, the Company has not proceeded to trial in any case filed against it and there have been no findings of liability enforceable against the Company. However, nationwide trial results in similar cases filed against other manufacturers of cosmetic talc products have ranged from outright dismissals to very large jury awards of both compensatory and punitive damages. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of all individual cases pending against the Company, and we are only able to make a specific estimate for a small number of individual cases that have advanced to the later stages of legal proceedings. For the remaining cases, we provide an estimate of exposure on an aggregated and ongoing basis, which takes into account the historical outcomes of all cases we have resolved to date. Any accruals currently recorded on the Company’s balance sheet with respect to these cases are not material. However, any adverse outcomes, either in an individual case or in the aggregate, could be material. Future costs to litigate these cases, which we expense as incurred, are not known but may be significant, though some costs will be covered by insurance.

Brazilian Labor-Related Litigation

On an ongoing basis, the Company is subject to numerous and diverse labor-related lawsuits filed by employees in Brazil. These cases are assessed on an aggregated and ongoing basis based on historical outcomes of similar cases. The claims made are often for significantly larger sums than have historically been paid out by the Company. Our practice continues to be to recognize a liability based on our assessment of historical payments in similar cases. Our best estimate of the probable loss for such cases at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was approximately $9 and $8, respectively. Accordingly, we have recognized a liability for this amount.

Shareholder Litigation

On February 14, 2019, a purported shareholder’s class action complaint (Bevinal v. Avon Products, Inc., et al., No. 19-cv-1420) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain former officers of the Company. The complaint was subsequently amended and recaptioned "In re Avon Products, Inc. Securities Litigation". The amended complaint is brought on behalf of a purported class consisting of all purchasers or acquirers of Avon common stock between January 21, 2016 and November 1, 2017, inclusive. The complaint asserts violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") based on allegedly false or misleading statements and alleged market manipulation with respect to, among other things, changes made to Avon’s credit terms for Representatives in Brazil. Avon and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss which the court denied. During 2020, the parties reached an agreement on a settlement of this class action. The terms of settlement include releases by members of the class of claims against the Company and the individual defendants and payment of $14.5 million. Approximately $2 million of the settlement was paid by the Company (which represented the remaining deductible under the Company’s applicable insurance policies) and the remainder of the settlement was paid by the Company’s insurers. On August 31, 2020, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement, and on February 3, 2021, the court entered an order and judgment granting final approval of the settlement. This judgment is now final.

Other Matters

Various other lawsuits and claims, arising in the ordinary course of business or related to businesses previously sold, are pending or threatened against Avon. In management’s opinion, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving such other contingencies at September 30, 2021 is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have identified two reportable segments based on geographic operations: Avon International and Avon Latin America.

We determine segment profit by deducting the related costs and expenses from segment revenue. Segment profit includes an allocation of central expenses to the extent they support the operating activity of the segment. Segment profit excludes certain CTI restructuring initiatives, certain significant asset impairment charges, and other expenses, which are not allocated to a particular segment, if applicable. This is consistent with the manner in which we assess our performance and allocate resources.

Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments was as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
Total Revenue	2021		2020		2021		2020

(6)On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding. As a result, from the same date, the results of Avon Luxembourg are no longer included within Avon's consolidated results. The nine month period ended September 30, 2021 includes the results of Avon Luxembourg for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2021, and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 include the results of Avon Luxembourg.

As of September 30, 2021, we have recorded our best estimate of the receivable of $24 and will continue to assess the impacts of the ruling.

11. RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES

Natura &Co - Avon Integration

Subsequent to the merger of Natura and Avon in January 2020, an integration plan (the "Avon Integration") was established to create the right global infrastructure to support the future ambitions of the Natura &Co Group while also identifying synergies and opportunities to leverage our combined strength, scale and reach. Synergies will be derived mainly from procurement, manufacturing/distribution and administrative, as well as top line synergies, primarily between Avon LATAM and Natura &Co Latin America.

Open Up Avon, Open Up & Grow and Transformation Plan

In January 2016, we initiated a transformation plan (the "Transformation Plan"), in order to enable us to achieve our long-term goals of mid-single-digit Constant $ revenue growth and low double-digit operating margin. There are no further restructuring actions to be taken associated with our Transformation Plan as, beginning in the third quarter of 2018, all new restructuring actions approved operate under our new Open Up Avon plan described below.

In September 2018, we initiated a new strategy in order to return Avon to growth ("Open Up Avon"). The Open Up Avon strategy was integral to our ability to return Avon to growth, built around the necessity of incorporating new approaches to various elements of our business, including increased utilization of third-party providers in manufacturing and technology, a

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

more fit for purpose asset base, and a focus on enabling our Representatives to more easily interact with the company and achieve relevant earnings. In January 2019, we announced significant advancements in this strategy, including a structural reset of inventory processes and a reduction in global workforce.

In May 2020, the new leadership of Avon International refreshed our strategy ("Open Up & Grow") which aims to return Avon International to growth over the next three years. Open Up & Grow replaces and builds on the success of the Open Up Avon strategy, launched in 2018, to strengthen competitiveness through enhancing the representative experience, improving brand position and relevance, accelerating digital expansion and improving costs. Over the next three years, savings are expected to continue to be achieved through restructuring actions (that may continue to result in charges related to severance, contract terminations and asset write-offs), as well as other cost-savings strategies that would not result in restructuring charges.

Costs to Implement Restructuring Initiatives - Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net costs to implement of $2.6, of which $3.1 related to Avon Integration, and a net benefit of $.4 related to Open Up & Grow and a net benefit of $.1 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded costs to implement of $10.9 of which $11.1 related to Avon Integration, $.7 related to Open Up & Grow, and a net benefit of $.9 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net costs to implement of $51.0, of which $13.0 related to Avon Integration, $38.6 related to Open Up & Grow and a net benefit of $.6 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, short-term investments, accounts receivable, debt maturing within one year, accounts payable, long-term debt and foreign exchange forward contracts. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt maturing within one year and short-term investments approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

(1) The carrying value of long-term debt is presented net of debt issuance costs and includes any related discount or premium, as applicable.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are as follows:

•Available-for-sale securities - The fair values of these investments were the quoted market prices for issues listed on securities exchanges.

•Long-term debt - The fair values of our debt and other financing were determined using Level 2 inputs based on indicative market prices.

•Foreign exchange forward contracts - The fair values of forward contracts were estimated based on quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date.

14. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We operate globally, with manufacturing and distribution facilities in various countries around the world. We may reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the fair value and cash flows associated with changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions, including through the use of derivative financial instruments. If we use foreign currency-rate sensitive and interest-rate sensitive instruments to hedge a certain portion of our existing and forecasted transactions, we would expect that any gain or loss in value of the hedge instruments generally would be offset by decreases or increases in the value of the underlying forecasted transactions.

We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor are we a party to leveraged derivatives. Agreements governing our derivative contracts generally contain standard provisions that could trigger early termination of the contracts in certain circumstances, including if we were to merge with another entity and the creditworthiness of the surviving entity were to be "materially weaker" than that of Avon prior to the Transaction.

Derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments at September 30, 2021:

	Asset			Liability
	Balance Sheet Classification	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Classification	Fair Value
Derivatives not designated as hedges:

Interest Rate Risk

On June 30, 2021 we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap agreement with a third party bank, designated as a cash flow hedge, whereby we receive fixed rate interest payments on $11 at 2.10% per annum in exchange for making floating interest rate payments on R$55 at CDI plus 1.87% for a period of 6 months. At September 30, 2021, the fair value of the cross currency interest-rate swap agreement was $.9. At December 31, 2020, we did not have any interest-rate swap agreements.

Approximately 7% and 4% of our debt portfolio at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, was exposed to floating interest rates, which relates to our short-term debt portfolio.

Foreign Currency Risk

We may use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of our foreign currency exchange rate exposures. At September 30, 2021, we had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $131 for various currencies, none of which were designated as cash flow hedges.

We may use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure of certain balance sheet items. The change in fair value of these items is immediately recognized in earnings and substantially offsets the foreign currency translation impact recognized in earnings relating to the associated balance sheet items. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a gain of $2.8 and a loss $13.9, respectively, in other (expense) income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these undesignated foreign exchange forward contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a gain of $1.5 and a loss $7.1, respectively, in other (expense) income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these undesignated foreign exchange forward contracts.

15. DEBT

Natura Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, Avon Luxembourg entered into a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with Natura &Co International S.à r.l., a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and an affiliate of the Company, in the initial amount of $100, increased to $250 in March 2021), which may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (the "Facility"). Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus a margin determined on an arms length basis, and the Facility is to mature on May 31, 2022. On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and the Company no longer has access to this facility.

Other Loans from Affiliates of Natura &Co

In November 2020, Avon International Operations, Inc. ("AIO") entered into a Promissory Note with a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and an affiliate of the Company in the amount of $960. The Promissory Note bears interest at a rate per annum of 3.13% and matures on November 2, 2021 (“the Natura &Co Loan”). On July 1, 2021, as part of the sale of Avon Luxembourg to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding the $960 loan was partially repaid with the proceeds from a loan maturing in 2028. As at September 30, 2021, $206 was outstanding under the Natura &Co Loan and $767 was outstanding under the loan maturing in 2028 which is between Avon Beauty Limited, and Natura &Co Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l. ("Natura &Co Lux Loan"). On 29 October 2021, the $206 Promissory Note between Avon International Operations Inc. and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding was amended to extend its maturity to November 2, 2022. In accordance with ASC 470 - Debt, the $206 Promissory Note has therefore been presented as non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021.

In addition, loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at September 30, 2021 of $149 includes a number of intercompany loans between Avon Luxembourg and Avon Products, Inc. affiliates that, following the sale of Avon Luxembourg to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding S.A. on July 1, 2021, were redesignated as loans from affiliates of Natura & Co Holding.

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

Other Short-Term Financing

In addition, at September 30, 2021, we utilized approximately $36 of short-term financing from third-party banks across multiple markets.

2019 Revolving Credit Facility

In February 2019, Avon International Capital, p.l.c. ("AIC"), a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of the Company, entered into a three year €200.0 senior secured revolving credit facility (the "2019 facility") and capitalized $11.0 of issuance costs, the related cash outflow is presented in other financing activities within the 10-K Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The 2019 facility was available for general corporate and working capital purposes.

As of December 31, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under the 2019 facility and on January 3, 2020, the facility was automatically canceled upon change of control, and as a result $7.8 of unamortized issuance costs were written off, see Note 17, Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A.

Unsecured Notes

In March 2013, we issued a series of unsecured notes (the "2013 Notes"). As of September 30, 2021, the following 2013 Notes remain outstanding: $461.9 aggregate principal amount of 5% Notes due March 15, 2023 and $216.1 aggregate principal amount of 6.95% Notes due March 15, 2043. Interest on the 2013 Notes is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The indenture governing the 2013 Notes contains interest rate adjustment provisions depending on the long-term credit ratings assigned to the 2013 Notes by S&P and Moody’s. As described in the indenture, the interest rates on the 2013 Notes increase or decrease by .25% for each one-notch movement below investment grade on each of the credit ratings assigned to the 2013 Notes by S&P or Moody's. These adjustments are limited to a total increase of 2% above the respective interest rates in effect on the date of issuance of the 2013 Notes.

In September 2020, we repurchased $27.8 of our 6.95% Notes due March 15, 2043. The aggregate repurchase price was equal to the principal amount of the notes, plus a premium of $3.8 and accrued interest of $1.2. In connection with the repurchase, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.1 before tax in the third quarter of 2020 consisting of the $3.8 premium paid for the repurchases, and $.3 for the write-off of debt issuance costs and discounts related to the initial issuance of the notes that were repurchased.

Senior Secured Notes

In August 2016, AIO issued $500.0 in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due August 15, 2022 (the "2016 Notes"). In July 2019, AIC issued $400.0 in aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due August 15, 2022 (the "2019 Notes").

In November 2020, in connection with the Natura & Co Promissory Note, we redeemed the outstanding principal amount of our 2016 Notes due August 15, 2022 and the outstanding principal amount of our 2019 Notes due August 15, 2022. With respect to the 2016 Notes, the aggregate redemption amount paid was equal to the outstanding principal amount of $500, plus a premium of $9.8 and accrued interest of $8.4. With respect to the 2019 Notes, the aggregate redemption amount paid was equal to the outstanding principal amount of $400, plus a premium of $7.9 and accrued interest of $5.6.

In connection with the redemption, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $25.6 before tax in the fourth quarter of 2020 consisting of the $17.7 premiums, and the write-off of $7.9 of debt issuance costs related to the initial issuances of the notes that were redeemed.

For a more detailed description of the Company’s debt agreements, refer to Note 7, Debt and Other Financing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

16. INCOME TAXES

Our quarterly income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective income tax approach. The quarterly effective tax rate can differ from our estimated annual effective tax rate as the Company cannot apply an effective tax rate approach for all of its operations. For those entities that can apply an effective tax rate approach, as of September 30, 2021, our annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, is 32.1%, as compared to 25.9% as of September 30, 2020. 

The remaining entities, which are operations that generate pre-tax losses which cannot be tax benefited and/or have an effective tax rate which cannot be reliably estimated, have to account for their income taxes on a discrete year-to-date basis as of the end of each quarter and are excluded from the effective tax rate approach. The estimated annual effective tax rate for 2021 and 2020 also excludes the unfavorable impact of withholding taxes associated with certain intercompany payments, including royalties, service charges, interest and dividends, which in the aggregate are relatively consistent each year due to the need to repatriate

32

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

funds to cover U.S. and U.K. based costs, such as interest on debt and central expenses. Withholding taxes associated with the relatively consistent intercompany payments are accounted for discretely and accrued in the provision for income taxes as they become due.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $(10.4) and $11.8, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 22.6% and (68.6)%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $15.5 and $26.7, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were (10.5)% and (10.4)%, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by CTI restructuring charges which could not all be benefited, country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2021 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $8.9 associated with the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $10.4, offset by the net recording of valuation allowances of $1.5 The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $5.7 associated with the release of income tax reserves of $10.8 associated with our uncertain tax positions, and the recording of a valuation allowance of $4.3 and other miscellaneous income tax expense of $.8.

The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by CTI restructuring charges which could not all be benefited, country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the accrual of net tax expense of $.4 due to the net release of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $7.8, the net recording of valuation allowances of $7.5 and miscellaneous income tax expense of approximately $.7. The effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was also favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $1.8 associated with the release of income tax reserves of $11.2 associated with our uncertain tax positions, net of recording a valuation allowance of $4.3 and other miscellaneous income tax expense of $5.1.

In prior years, we had previously recorded valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets associated with the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We intend to continue maintaining these valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to achieve. The Company continuously monitors its operational and capital structure changes, business performance, tax planning actions and tax planning strategies that could potentially allow for the recognition of deferred tax assets which are currently subject to a valuation allowance. There is the possibility that, in the foreseeable future, certain deferred tax assets could be recognized, which may be material, related to changes in business operations and associated financing of such operations.

Further, the Company continuously assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize our existing deferred tax assets that are not subject to a valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic is negative evidence the Company must consider. As of September 30, 2021, the negative evidence associated with COVID-19 has not required the recording of additional valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and other effects that could impact the conclusions regarding the realizability of its remaining deferred tax assets. Potential negative evidence, including such things as the worsening of the economies in the markets we operate in and reduced profitability of our markets could give rise to a need for a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets in upcoming quarters.

17. MERGER WITH NATURA COSMÉTICOS S.A.

On May 22, 2019, the Company entered into the Agreement and Plan of Mergers (as amended by Amendment Number One to Agreement and Plant of Mergers, dated as of October 3, 2019, and as further amended by Amendment Number Two to Agreement and Plan of Mergers, dated as of November 5, 2019, the "Merger Agreement") among the Company, Natura Cosméticos S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) ("Natura Cosméticos"), Natura &Co Holding, a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima), Nectarine Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding ("Merger Sub I"), and Nectarine Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub I ("Merger Sub II"), pursuant to which (i) Natura &Co Holding, after the completion of certain restructuring steps, holds all issued and outstanding shares of Natura Cosméticos, (ii) Merger Sub II merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the "First Merger") and (iii) Merger Sub I merged with and into Natura &Co Holding (the "Second Merger"), with Natura &Co Holding surviving the merger and as a result of which the Company and Natura Cosméticos became wholly owned direct subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding (collectively, the "Transaction").

33

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

The Transaction was consummated on January 3, 2020, and at this time, the Company became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding. In connection with the Transaction, trading of the Company’s stock was suspended by the NYSE, and the Company’s common stock was subsequently delisted and deregistered.

On completion of the Transaction, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction was converted into the ultimate right to receive, (i) 0.300 validly issued and allotted, fully paid-up American Depositary Shares of Natura &Co Holding, ("Natura &Co Holding ADSs") against the deposit of two shares of common stock of Natura &Co Holding ("Natura &Co Holding Shares", subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and any cash in lieu of fractional Natura &Co Holding ADSs or (ii) 0.600 validly issued and allotted, fully paid-up Natura &Co Holding Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and any cash in lieu of fractional Natura &Co Holding Shares. The Company’s Series C Preferred Stock held by Cerberus Investor were converted to common stock prior to consummation of the Transaction and were therefore automatically converted into common stock of Natura &Co. In January 2020, Natura &Co Holding paid the accrued dividend of $91.5 to Cerberus.

Natura &Co Holding Shares are listed on the B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão stock exchange, and Natura &Co Holding ADSs are listed on the NYSE. Additionally, upon the consummation of the Transaction, Avon common stock ceased to be traded on the NYSE.

In January 2020, subsequent to the Transaction, the Company restated the certificate of incorporation. The certificate of incorporation was restated to effect a change in capitalization of the Company by changing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,525,000,000 shares (of which (i) 1,500,000,000 shares, par value $0.25 per share, are common stock and (ii) 25,000,000 shares, par value $1.00 per share, are preferred stock) to 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As a result, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, being 550,890,788 were canceled and converted into 101.34 common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and all outstanding treasury shares were canceled.

The Company incurred costs of $46 in relation to the Transaction, primarily professional fees during the year ended December 31, 2020.

During January 2020, it was announced that the employment of certain senior officers of the Company would be terminated, in connection with the Transaction. The Company incurred severance of approximately $25 and acceleration of share based compensation of approximately $10 relating to these terminations triggered by change in control provisions.

As a result of the Transaction, the Company made payments of approximately $26 related to the settlement of stock options. In addition, any remaining restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units were exchanged for awards of Natura &Co Holding. The replacement awards contain substantially the same terms and conditions of the original awards except for the removal of the performance conditions. As such, the replacement awards contain only a service vesting condition.

On consummation of the Transaction, a deferred compensation scheme relating to former employees of the Company became payable which resulted in extinguishing the liability and a cash outflow of approximately $12.

In January 2020, upon completion of the Transaction, the Company’s revolving credit facility was canceled, triggered by change in control provisions. As a result, debt issuance costs of $7.8 were written off.

As a result of the Transaction, the Company will no longer have access to certain tax attributes of approximately $546 to approximately $616 in certain taxing jurisdictions. These tax attributes had been formerly reflected as deferred tax assets which were subject to a full valuation allowance and as a result, there was no impact to net income in 2020 from the write-off of the deferred tax asset and the associated valuation allowances.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 29, 2021, the $206 Promissory Note between Avon International Operations Inc. and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding S.A. was amended to extend its maturity to November 2, 2022. In accordance with ASC 470 - Debt, the $206 Promissory Note has therefore been presented as non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021.

When used in this report, the terms "Avon," "Company," "we," "our" or "us" mean, unless the context otherwise indicates, Avon Products, Inc. and its majority, wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries.

When used in this report, the term Constant $ means translated at a constant rate to allow comparisons between periods without the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates.

OVERVIEW

We are a global manufacturer and marketer of beauty and related products. Our business is conducted primarily in the direct-selling channel, with a strategy to expand to omni-channel. During 2020, we had sales operations in 55 countries and territories, and distributed products in 25 more. All of our consolidated revenue is derived from operations of subsidiaries outside of the United States ("U.S."). Our reportable segments are based on geographic operations in two regions, Avon International and Avon Latin America. Our product categories are Beauty and Fashion & Home. Beauty consists of skincare, fragrance and color (cosmetics). Fashion & Home consists of fashion apparel, accessories, housewares and leisure products. Sales are made to the ultimate consumer principally through direct selling by Representatives, who are independent contractors and not our employees.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue increased 1% with the impact of foreign exchange being broadly neutral as the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the South African rand, the British pound and the Mexican peso was offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Russian ruble, the Turkish lira, the Brazilian real and the Argentinian peso.

On a Constant $ basis, Adjusted revenue was flat year on year driven by a 1% increase in Avon Latin America, mostly driven by changes in the severity of COVID-19 restrictions in some markets, and the sale of Avon Luxembourg on July 1, 2021, partly offset by a 3% decrease in Avon International. Revenue and Constant $ Adjusted revenue was impacted by a decrease in Active Representatives of 6% in multiple markets and a 6% increase in Average Representative Sales.

Constant $ Adjusted revenue excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg increased by 4% as a 10% increase in Average Representative Sales were partly offset by an 6% decrease in Active Representatives.

Units sold decreased 9% (decreased 4% excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg) driven by decreases in both Avon International and Avon Latin America.

See "Segment Review" in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") for additional information related to changes in revenue by segment.

Transaction with Natura Cosméticos S.A.

On January 3, 2020 the Company became a fully owned direct subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding following the consummation of the Merger Agreement with Natura Cosméticos, Natura &Co Holding and two subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding (the "Transaction"). In connection with the Transaction, trading of the Company's stock was suspended by the NYSE, and the Company's common stock was subsequently delisted and deregistered.

COVID-19 Pandemic

We continuously monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets in which we operate, acting to minimize impacts on operations and the equity and financial position. Management is implementing appropriate measures to ensure the continuity of operations, protect cash, improve liquidity and promote health and safety of all stakeholders.

During the third quarter of 2021, most markets in Avon International and many markets in Avon Latin America continued to be impacted by COVID-19 restrictions which resulted in deceleration of the Beauty market growth and a lower representative base. It is unclear if current lockdown measures will continue or be reestablished elsewhere globally which could dampen our recovery from COVID-19.

Considering this scenario, we review the recoverability expectations of our financial and non-financial assets in the preparation of this interim accounting information, considering the most recent information available and reflected in the Company's business plans. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, no deterioration in the Company's liquidity, cash position or leverage that could impact compliance with financial covenants and short-term commitments was identified.

Natura &Co - Avon Integration

Subsequent to the merger of Natura and Avon in January 2020, an integration plan (the "Avon Integration") was established to create the right global infrastructure to support the future ambitions of the Natura &Co Group while also identifying synergies and opportunities to leverage our combined strength, scale and reach. Synergies will be derived mainly from procurement, manufacturing/distribution and administrative, as well as top line synergies, primarily between Avon LATAM and Natura &Co Latin America.

Open Up Avon, Open Up & Grow and Transformation Plan

In January 2016, we initiated a transformation plan (the "Transformation Plan"), in order to enable us to achieve our long-term goals of mid-single-digit Constant $ revenue growth and low double-digit operating margin. There are no further restructuring actions to be taken associated with our Transformation Plan as, beginning in the third quarter of 2018, all new restructuring actions approved operate under our new Open Up Avon plan described below.

In September 2018, we initiated a new strategy in order to return Avon to growth ("Open Up Avon"). The Open Up Avon strategy was integral to our ability to return Avon to growth, built around the necessity of incorporating new approaches to various elements of our business, including increased utilization of third-party providers in manufacturing and technology, a more fit for purpose asset base, and a focus on enabling our Representatives to more easily interact with the company and achieve relevant earnings. In January 2019, we announced significant advancements in this strategy, including a structural reset of inventory processes and a reduction in global workforce.

In May 2020, the new leadership of Avon refreshed our strategy ("Open Up & Grow") which has aims to return Avon to growth over the next three years. Open Up & Grow replaces and builds on the success of the Open Up Avon strategy, launched in 2018 to strengthen competitiveness through enhancing the representative experience, improving brand position and relevance, accelerating digital expansion and improving costs. Over the next three years, savings are expected to continue to be achieved through restructuring actions (that may continue to result in charges related to severance, contract terminations and asset write-offs), as well as other cost-savings strategies that would not result in restructuring charges.

Sale of Avon Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l

On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding for $150, with the proceeds used to repay maturing loans of $150 borrowed under the $250 Revolving Credit Facility with a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding.

The sale was accounted for as a transaction under common control in accordance with ASC805 - Business Combinations, with the resulting gain of $148 representing the difference between the proceeds, the net assets of Avon Luxembourg on the date of sale, and the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, taken directly to Retained Earnings. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Deficit.

Disposal of Cosmetics Manufacturing Operations in India

On September 13, 2021, the Company agreed to sell the business and assets of the Cosmetics Manufacturing Operation in India for a total selling price of approximately $3. The transaction is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2021.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Information relating to new accounting standards is included in Note 1, Accounting Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: revenue, Adjusted revenue, operating profit, Adjusted operating profit, operating margin and Adjusted operating margin. We also refer to these adjusted financial measures as Constant $ items,

36

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share data)

which are Non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends and underlying business results. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, we calculate current-year results and prior-year results at constant exchange rates, which are updated on an annual basis as part of our budgeting process. Foreign currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and Constant $ growth rates.

We also present gross margin, SG&A as a percentage of revenue, operating profit, operating margin and income (loss) before taxes on a Non-GAAP basis. We refer to these Non-GAAP financial measures as "Adjusted." We have provided a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between the Non-GAAP financial measures and the financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" within "Results of Operations" in this MD&A for this quantitative reconciliation.

The Company uses the Non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operating performance. These Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes investors find the Non-GAAP information helpful in understanding the ongoing performance of operations separate from items that may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company's financial results in any particular period. The Company believes that it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of the impacts of 1) CTI restructuring initiatives; 2) costs related to the Transaction; 3) costs associated with the early termination of debt; 4) certain Brazil indirect taxes.

(1)CTI restructuring initiatives includes the impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented of net charges incurred on approved restructuring initiatives. See Note 11, Restructuring Initiatives, to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein for further information.

(2)For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, costs related to the Transaction of $86 primarily included professional fees incurred in relation to the Transaction of approximately $44, severance payments of approximately $25 and acceleration of share based compensation of approximately $10 relating to these terminations triggered by change in control provisions. Further information relating to the Transaction is included in Note 17, Merger with Natura, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

(3)During the first quarter of 2020, the Company incurred costs of $8 associated with the early termination of debt.

(4)The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 include the impact of certain Brazil indirect taxes of approximately $12 and $24 respectively, which were recorded in product sales, SG&A, other income and interest income. The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 include the impact of certain Brazil indirect taxes, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, net in the amounts of approximately $11.

Sale of Avon Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l

On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding for $150, with the proceeds used to repay maturing loans of $150 borrowed under the $250 Revolving Credit Facility with a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding. The sale was accounted for as a transaction under common control in accordance with ASC805 - Business Combinations, with the resulting gain of $148 representing the difference between the proceeds, the net assets of Avon Luxembourg on the date of sale, and the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, taken directly to Retained Earnings. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Deficit.

The sale did not qualify for accounting as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC805 - Business Combinations on the basis that it did not represent a strategic shift having a major effect on the Company's operations and, as a result, the results of operations in prior periods include the results of Avon Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l. and its subsidiaries. While not a non-GAAP measure, in order to better evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the remaining group, the tables below also identify the prior period impacts of the sale of Avon Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l. and its subsidiaries, including our Mexican business.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Revenue

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, revenue decreased 23% compared to the prior-year period, favorably impacted by the recognition of certain Brazil indirect taxes in the current year. Excluding these items, Adjusted revenue decreased 24% favorably impacted by foreign exchange, primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the South African rand, the British pound and the Brazilian real offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Argentinian peso. On a Constant $ basis, Adjusted revenue decreased 25% driven by declines of 16% in Avon International and 34% in Avon Latin America, mostly driven by changes in the severity of COVID-19 restrictions in some markets, the sale of Avon Luxembourg on July 1, 2021, and the impact of the cyber incident in June 2020 which shifted approximately $87 of

revenue to the third quarter of 2020. Revenue and Constant $ Adjusted revenue was impacted by a decrease in Active Representatives of 29% in multiple markets and a 4% increase in Adjusted Average Representative Sales.

Constant $ Adjusted revenue excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg decreased 15% as a 5% increase in Average Representative Sales were more than offset by a 20% decrease in Active Representatives.

Units sold decreased 34% (decreased 24% excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg) driven by decreases in both Avon International and Avon Latin America.

See "Segment Review" in this MD&A for additional information related to changes in revenue by segment.

Operating Margin

Operating margin decreased by 490 basis points including the impact of increased restructuring expenses and the receipt of certain Brazil taxes during the three month period ended September 30, 2021. Excluding these items, Adjusted operating margin decreased by 610 basis points, compared to the same period of 2020, as improvements in gross margin were offset by higher SG&A as a percentage of total revenue. The movements in operating margin and Adjusted operating margin are discussed further below in "Gross Margin" and "Selling, General and Administrative Expenses".

Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin decreased 170 basis points, compared to the same period of 2020 as the positive impact of price/mix and the favorable impact of foreign currency movements more than offset higher supply chain costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A")

SG&A as a percentage of total revenue increased by 710 basis points including the impact of increased restructuring expenses and the receipt of certain Brazil taxes during the three month period ended September 30, 2021. Excluding these items, Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of Adjusted revenue increased 780 basis points, compared to the same period of 2020. The increase in Constant $ Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of Adjusted revenue was largely due to the impact of our lower revenue, which resulted in a deleveraging of our fixed expenses, as well as increases in bad debts, sales leader and field investments and advertising expenses.

Other Expenses

Interest income increased by approximately $1 and interest expense has remained relatively unchanged compared to the prior-year period.

Other income (expense), net, of approximately $1 represents a favorable impact of $2 compared to the third quarter of 2020 primarily attributable to the recognition of other income of $1 in 2021 relating to certain Brazil taxes.

Loss on extinguishment of debt and credit facilities of approximately $4 is primarily comprised of the costs of termination of our revolving credit facility in the three month period ended September 30, 2020. Refer to Note 15, Debt, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for more information relating to these extinguishments of debt.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rates in 2021 and 2020 continue to be impacted by our inability to recognize additional deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions related to our current-year operating results. In addition, the effective tax rates in 2021 and 2020 continue to be impacted by withholding taxes associated with certain intercompany payments, including royalties, service charges, interest and dividends, which in the aggregate are relatively consistent each year due to the need to repatriate funds to cover U.S. and U.K.-based costs, such as interest on debt and corporate overhead, respectively.

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 22.6% and (68.6)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by CTI restructuring charges which could not all be benefited, country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2021 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $8.9 associated with the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $10.4 offset by the net recording of valuation allowances of $1.5. The effective tax rate for in the third quarter of 2020 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $5.7 associated with the release of income tax reserves of $10.8 associated with our uncertain tax positions, net of recording a valuation allowance of $4.3 and other miscellaneous income tax expense of $.8.

Our Adjusted effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 27.5% and (580.9)%, respectively. The Adjusted effective tax rates in 2021 and 2020 were impacted by country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The Adjusted effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share data)

benefits of $12.8 associated with the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $10.4 and the release of valuation allowances of $2.4. The Adjusted effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $5.7 associated with the release of income tax reserves of $10.8 associated with our uncertain tax positions, net of recording a valuation allowance of $4.3 and other miscellaneous income tax expense of $.8.

In prior years, we had previously recorded valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets associated with the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We intend to continue maintaining these valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to achieve. The Company continuously monitors its operational and capital structure changes, business performance, tax planning actions and tax planning strategies that could potentially allow for the recognition of deferred tax assets which are currently subject to a valuation allowance. There is the possibility that in the foreseeable future, certain deferred tax assets could be recognized, which may be material, related to changes in business operations and associated financing of such operations.

Further, the Company continuously assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize our existing deferred tax assets that are not subject to a valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic is negative evidence the Company must consider. As of September 30, 2021, the negative evidence associated with COVID-19 has not required the recording of additional valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and other effects that could impact the conclusions regarding the realizability of its remaining deferred tax assets. Potential negative evidence, including such things as the worsening of the economies in the markets we operate in and reduced profitability of our markets could give rise to a need for a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets in upcoming quarters.

See Note 16, Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for more information on the effective tax rate, and Note 11, Restructuring Initiatives, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for more information on CTI restructuring.

Impact of Foreign Currency

As compared to the prior-year period, foreign currency has impacted our consolidated financial results in the form of:

•foreign currency transaction losses (classified within cost of sales and SG&A in our Consolidated Statements of Operations), which had an unfavorable impact to operating profit and Adjusted operating profit of less than $5, or less than 50 basis points to both operating margin and Adjusted operating margin;

•foreign currency translation, which had an unfavorable impact to operating profit and Adjusted operating profit of less than $5, or less than 50 basis points on both operating margin and Adjusted operating margin; and

•foreign exchange net gains, on our working capital (classified within other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations) as compared to gains in the prior year, resulting in a unfavorable impact of approximately $10 before tax on both a reported and Adjusted basis.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Revenue

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue increased 1% with the impact of foreign exchange being broadly neutral as the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the South African rand, the British pound and the Mexican peso was offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Russian ruble, the Turkish lira, the Brazilian real and the Argentinian peso.

On a Constant $ basis, Adjusted revenue was flat year on year driven by a 1% increase in Avon Latin America, mostly driven by changes in the severity of COVID-19 restrictions in some markets, and the sale of Avon Luxembourg on July 1, 2021, partly offset by a 3% decrease in Avon International. Revenue and Constant $ Adjusted revenue was impacted by a decrease in Active Representatives of 6% in multiple markets and a 6% increase in Average Representative Sales.

Constant $ Adjusted revenue excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg increased by 4% as a 10% increase in Average Representative Sales were partly offset by an 6% decrease in Active Representatives.

Units sold decreased 9% (decreased 4% excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg) driven by decreases in both Avon International and Avon Latin America.

See "Segment Review" in this MD&A for additional information related to changes in revenue by segment.

Operating Margin

Operating margin increased by 210 basis points, significantly benefiting from costs related to the Natura transaction in the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 not repeating in the current year. This benefit was partially offset by increased restructuring expenses in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021. Excluding these items, Adjusted operating margin remained stable compared to the same period of 2020. The impact of foreign exchange on Adjusted operating margin was broadly neutral and Constant $ Adjusted Operating Margin improved slightly mostly driven by the increase in gross margin. The movements in operating margin and Adjusted operating margin are discussed further below in "Gross Margin" and "Selling, General and Administrative Expenses".

Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin increased 10 basis points, compared to the same period of 2020 as the positive impact of price/mix more than offset unfavorable impact of foreign currency movements and higher supply chain costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A")

SG&A as a percentage of total revenue decreased 160 basis points, significantly impacted by costs related to the Natura transaction in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021. This benefit was partially offset by increased restructuring expenses in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021. Excluding these items, Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of Adjusted revenue decreased 20 basis points, compared to the same period of 2020 as higher advertising costs were offset by lower sales leader and field investments and bad debts.

Other Expenses

Interest expense decreased by approximately $14 and interest income increased by approximately $1 compared to the prior-year period.

Loss on extinguishment of debt and credit facilities of approximately $12 is primarily comprised of the costs of termination of our revolving credit facility in the nine month period ended September 30, 2020. Refer to Note 15, Debt, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for more information relating to these extinguishments of debt.

Other income (expense), net, of approximately $4 represents a favorable impact of $24 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 primarily attributable to the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange net losses in the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 which were not repeated in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 and recognition of other income of $4 in 2021 relating to certain Brazil taxes.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rates in 2021 and 2020 continue to be impacted by our inability to recognize additional deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions related to our current-year operating results. In addition, the effective tax rates in 2021 and 2020 continue to be impacted by withholding taxes associated with certain intercompany payments, including royalties, service charges, interest and dividends, which in the aggregate are relatively consistent each year due to the need to repatriate funds to cover U.S. and U.K. based costs, such as interest on debt and corporate overhead, respectively.

Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were (10.5)% and (10.4%), respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by CTI restructuring charges which could not all be benefited, country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the accrual of net tax expense of $.4 due to the net release of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $7.8, the net recording of valuation allowances of $7.5, and miscellaneous income tax expense of approximately $.7. The effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of approximately $1.8 associated with the release of income tax reserves of approximately $11.2 associated with our uncertain tax positions, net of recording a valuation allowance of $4.3 and other miscellaneous income tax expense of approximately $5.1.

Our Adjusted effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were (8.1%) and (15.3%), respectively. The Adjusted effective tax rates in 2021 and 2020 were impacted by country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The Adjusted effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was favorably impacted by the accrual of income tax benefit of $3.5 due to the net release of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $7.8 offset by the net recording of

valuation allowances of $3.6 and miscellaneous income tax expense of $.7. The Adjusted effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of approximately $1.8 associated with the release of income tax reserves of $11.2 associated with our uncertain tax positions, net of recording a valuation allowance of $4.3 and other miscellaneous income tax expense of $5.1.

In prior years, we had previously recorded valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets associated with the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We intend to continue maintaining these valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to achieve. The Company continuously monitors its operational and capital structure changes, business performance, tax planning actions and tax planning strategies that could potentially allow for the recognition of deferred tax assets which are currently subject to a valuation allowance. There is the possibility that in the foreseeable future, certain deferred tax assets could be recognized, which may be material, related to changes in business operations and associated financing of such operations.

Further, the Company continuously assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize our existing deferred tax assets that are not subject to a valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2021, the global COVID-19 pandemic is a piece of negative evidence the Company must consider. As of September 30, 2021, the increase in negative evidence due to COVID-19 has not resulted in any changes to the Company’s conclusions regarding the realizability of existing deferred tax assets that are not subject to a valuation allowance. The Company will continue to monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and other effects that could impact the conclusions regarding the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Potential negative evidence, including worsening of the economies in the markets we operate in and reduced profitability of our markets could give rise to a need for a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets in upcoming quarters.

See Note 16, Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for more information on the effective tax rate, and Note 11, Restructuring Initiatives, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for more information on CTI restructuring.

Impact of Foreign Currency

As compared to the prior-year period, foreign currency has impacted our consolidated financial results in the form of:

•foreign currency transaction losses (classified within cost of sales and SG&A in our Consolidated Statements of Operations), which had an unfavorable impact to operating profit and Adjusted operating profit of approximately $25, or approximately 100 basis points to both operating margin and Adjusted operating margin;

•foreign currency translation, which had an unfavorable impact to operating profit and Adjusted operating profit of approximately $5, or less than 50 basis points on both operating margin and Adjusted operating margin; and

•foreign exchange net gains, on our working capital (classified within other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations) as compared to gains in the prior year, resulting in a favorable impact of approximately $10 before tax on both a reported and Adjusted basis.

Segment Review

We determine segment profit by deducting the related costs and expenses from segment revenue. Segment profit includes an allocation of central expenses to the extent they support the operating activity of the segment. Segment profit excludes certain CTI restructuring initiatives, certain significant asset impairment charges, and other expenses, which are not allocated to a particular segment, if applicable. This is consistent with the manner in which we assess our performance and allocate resources. See Note 9, Segment Information, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for a reconciliation of segment profit to operating profit.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Total revenue decreased 14% compared to the prior-year period, including the favorable impact of foreign exchange which was primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the South African rand and the British pound. On a Constant $ basis, revenue decreased 16% driven by an increase in Average Representative Sales which was more than offset by a 22% decrease in Active Representatives.

The decrease in Revenue and Constant $ revenue was mostly driven by changes in COVID-19 restrictions in many markets compared to the same period in the prior year, with some markets remaining materially impacted by COVID-19 restrictions and yet to show signs of recovery. Revenue and Constant $ revenue growth were also negatively impacted by the cyber incident in June 2020 which shifted approximately $12 of revenue to the third quarter of 2020.

The contribution of Active Representatives and Average Representative Sales into Total revenue was also impacted by a reduction in the frequency of campaign cycles as part of our strategy to simplify our business, with all markets now on a monthly campaign cycle.

Segment margin decreased 330 basis points, or 270 on a Constant $ basis, mostly driven by higher SG&A as a percentage of total revenue.

Constant $ Adjusted gross margin increased as the positive impact of price/mix offset the impact of higher supply chain costs.

The increase in Constant $ Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of Adjusted revenue was largely due to the decline in our revenue which resulted in deleveraging of our fixed expenses.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Total revenue was relatively unchanged compared to the prior-year period, including the favorable impact of foreign exchange which was primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the South African rand and the British pound, partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Russian ruble and the Turkish lira. On a Constant $ basis, revenue decreased 3% driven by an increase in Average Representative Sales which was more than offset by a 13% decrease in Active Representatives.

The decrease in Revenue and Constant $ revenue was mostly driven by changes in COVID-19 restrictions in many markets compared to the same period in the prior year, with some markets remaining materially impacted by COVID-19 restrictions and yet to show signs of recovery.

The contribution of Active Representatives and Average Representative Sales into Total revenue was also impacted by a reduction in the frequency of campaign cycles as part of our strategy to simplify our business, with all markets now on a monthly campaign cycle.

Segment margin decreased 170 basis points, or 100 basis points on a Constant $ basis, mostly driven by higher SG&A as a percentage of total revenue.

Constant $ Adjusted gross margin increased as the positive impact of price/mix offset the unfavorable impact of foreign currency movements and the impact of higher supply chain costs.

The increase in Constant $ Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of Adjusted revenue was largely due to the decline in our revenue which resulted in deleveraging of our fixed expenses.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Total revenue decreased 32% compared to the prior-year period, favorably impacted by the recognition of certain Brazil indirect taxes in the current year. Excluding these items, Adjusted revenue decreased 34% with the impact of foreign exchange being broadly neutral as the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Brazilian real offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Argentinian peso. On a Constant $ basis, Adjusted revenue decreased 34% which includes the impact from the sale of Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, on July 1, 2021. Constant $ Adjusted revenue excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg decreased 15% as increased Average Representative Sales were more than offset by an 18% decrease in Active Representatives.

Revenue decreased in most markets driven by the impact of COVID-19 restrictions in many countries. Revenue and Constant $ revenue growth were also negatively impacted by the cyber incident in June 2020 which shifted approximately $75 of revenue to the third quarter of 2020.

Revenue in Brazil decreased 23% compared to the prior year period, despite the favorable impact coming of the recognition of certain Brazil indirect taxes in the current year. Excluding these items, Adjusted revenue decreased 28% favorably impacted by foreign exchange. On an Adjusted Constant $ basis, revenue decreased 31% primarily driven by a decrease in Active Representatives due to the impact of the cyber incident in June 2020 which shifted revenue to the third quarter of 2020.

Segment margin decreased 520 basis points, or 870 basis points on a Constant $ Adjusted segment margin basis, primarily driven by increases in SG&A.

Constant $ Adjusted gross margin increased slightly as the positive impact of price/mix and the favorable impact of foreign currency movements offset the impact of higher supply chain costs.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share data)

The increase in Constant $ Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of Adjusted revenue was largely due to the impact of revenue decline, causing a deleveraging of our fixed expenses, as well as increases in bad debts, sales leader and field investments and advertising expenses, primarily in Brazil.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Total revenue increased 1% compared to the prior-year period, favorably impacted by the recognition of certain Brazil indirect taxes in the current year. Excluding these items, Adjusted revenue decreased 1% unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange, which was driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Brazilian real and the Argentinian peso, partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican peso. On a Constant $ basis, Adjusted revenue increased 1% which includes the impact from the sale of Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, on July 1, 2021. Constant $ Adjusted revenue excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg increased 10% primarily driven by an increase in Average Representative Sales.

Revenue in Brazil decreased 8% compared to the prior year period, despite the favorable impact coming of the recognition of certain Brazil indirect taxes in the current year. Excluding these items, Adjusted revenue decreased 12% unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange. On an Adjusted Constant $ basis, revenue decreased 8% primarily driven by decrease in Active Representatives.

Segment margin increased 420 basis points, or 300 basis points on a Constant $ Adjusted segment margin basis, primarily driven by decreases in SG&A.

Constant $ Adjusted gross margin decreased slightly as the positive impact of price/mix and the favorable impact of foreign currency movements were offset by the impact of higher supply chain costs.

The decrease in Constant $ Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of Adjusted revenue was driven by lower bad debt and lower sales leader and field investments, primarily in Brazil.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of funds historically have been cash flows from operations, public offerings of notes, bank financings, issuance of commercial paper, borrowings under lines of credit and private placement of notes. Furthermore, since January 3, 2020, we are part of the Natura &Co group of companies which gives us access to intercompany funding.

The Company has cash on hand of approximately $225 as of September 30, 2021.

COVID-19 pandemic and going concern

Considering the uncertain nature of any possible future COVID-19 impacts which are beyond the Company's control, we might expect some negative impact on revenue from COVID-19 to continue for the remainder of 2021, which will, in turn, result in lower cash generation from activities. If the downturn is deeper or for longer than we anticipate, the Company could take certain further actions to ease the pressure of certain cash outflows, such as reducing discretionary expenditure, selling non-core assets, accessing government pandemic initiatives or arranging borrowing facilities with third-party banks and affiliate companies. Our projections indicate that we should have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations to parties other than Natura &Co and its affiliates for a period of not less than 12 months from the issuance date of the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein. The Company has received an irrevocable commitment from Natura &Co Holding that it will provide sufficient financial support if and when needed to enable the Company to meet its operating and financing obligations as they come due in the normal course of business for a period of not less than 12 months from the date issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements. This support also includes the loan originally issued by a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding to a subsidiary of the Company of $960, part of which was repaid in July 2021 with the proceeds from a loan maturing in 2028, with the balance now due on November 2, 2022. As a result, the outstanding loan balances due to subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding on September 30, 2021 stood at $149 maturing within one year, $206 maturing in November 2022 and $767 maturing in 2028.

Other liquidity matters

We may seek to retire our outstanding debt in open market purchases, through existing call mechanisms, privately negotiated transactions, through derivative instruments, cash tender offers or otherwise. Repurchases of debt may be funded by cash or the incurrence of additional debt and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material. We may also elect to incur additional debt to finance ongoing operations or to meet our other liquidity needs. However, our credit ratings remain below investment grade which may impact our ability to access such transactions on favorable terms, if at all. For more information, see "Risk Factors - Our credit ratings are below investment grade, which could limit our access to financing, affect the market price of our financing and increase financing costs. A downgrade in our credit ratings may adversely affect our access to liquidity," "Risk Factors - Our indebtedness and any future inability to meet any of our obligations under our indebtedness, could adversely affect us by reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions" and "Risk Factors - A general economic downturn, a recession globally or in one or more of our geographic regions or markets or sudden disruption in business conditions or other challenges may adversely affect our business, our access to liquidity and capital, and our credit ratings" included in Item 1A of our 2020 Annual Report.

Our liquidity could also be negatively impacted by restructuring initiatives, dividends, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and certain contingencies, including any legal or regulatory settlements, described more fully in Note 7, Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. See our Cautionary Statement for purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contained in this report.

Cash Flows

Net Cash Used by Operating Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash used by operating activities of continuing operations during the first nine months of 2021 was approximately $298 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of continuing operations of approximately $307 during the first nine months of 2020, a decreased cash outflow of approximately $9. The decrease in net cash used by operating activities was primarily due to one-time transaction costs in the first quarter of 2020, related to the acquisition by Natura &Co Holding. Cash outflows related to the Transaction included professional fees, senior officer severance and other expenses. Further information relating to the Transaction is included in Note 17, Merger with Natura Cosméticos S.A., to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

Net Cash Used by Investing Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash used by continuing investing activities during the first nine months of 2021 was approximately $32, as compared to net cash used by continuing investing activities of approximately $17 during the first nine months of 2020. The approximate $15 increase to net cash used by continuing investing activities was driven by an increase in capital expenditure in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020. In contrast, in the nine month period ended, September 30, 2021, net proceeds of $15 were received from the sale of the Spanish Distribution Center. In the nine month period ended, September 30, 2020, net proceeds of $10 were received from the sale of the Hungary Distribution Center in Gödöllő and deposits received for the sale of the China Wellness Plant.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by continuing financing activities during the first nine months of 2021 was approximately $206, as compared to cash provided by continuing financing activities of $26 in the first nine months of 2020. The approximate $180 increase to net cash from financing activities was driven by debt proceeds and repayment of debt from affiliates of Natura &Co during the first nine months of 2021 and the settlement of stock options in the prior year period.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Interest Rate Risk

Approximately 7% of our debt portfolio, our short-term debt, is exposed to floating interest rates. Our long-term borrowings are all at fixed rates of interest.

Foreign Currency Risk

We conduct business globally, with operations in various locations around the world. Since 2016, all of our consolidated revenue has been derived from operations of subsidiaries outside of the U.S. The functional currency for most of our foreign operations is their local currency. We may reduce our exposure to fluctuations in cash flows associated with changes in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions, including through the use of derivative financial instruments.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2020 Form 10-K") in preparing these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, other than those impacted by new accounting standards as described below. On January 3, 2020, we completed the Agreement and Plan of Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) ("Natura Cosméticos"), Natura &Co Holding S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) ("Natura &Co Holding"), and two subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding ("Natura &Co") pursuant to which, in a series of transactions (the "Transaction"). Upon the consummation of the Transaction, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding; and Avon's common stock ceased to be traded on the NYSE. The Company files these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements with the SEC as a voluntary filer to comply with the terms of certain debt instruments. For additional information, see Note 17, Agreement and Plan of Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A.

In our opinion, the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. You should read these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2020 Form 10-K. When used in this report, the terms "Avon," "Company," "we" or "us" mean Avon Products, Inc.

For interim Consolidated Financial Statements purposes, we generally provide for accruals under our various employee benefit plans for each quarter based on one quarter of the estimated annual expense, and adjust these accruals as estimates are refined. In addition, our income tax provision is determined using an estimate of our consolidated annual effective tax rate, adjusted in the current period for discrete income tax items including:

•the effects of significant, unusual or extraordinary pretax and income tax items, if any;

•the impact of changes in tax legislation, if any;

•withholding taxes recognized associated with cash repatriations; and

•the impact of loss-making subsidiaries for which we cannot recognize an income tax benefit and subsidiaries for which an effective tax rate cannot be reliably estimated.

Sale of Avon Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l

On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding for $150, with the proceeds used to repay maturing loans of $150 borrowed under the $250 Revolving Credit Facility with a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding.

The sale was accounted for as a transaction under common control in accordance with ASC805 - Business Combinations, with the resulting gain of $148, representing the difference between the proceeds, the net assets of Avon Luxembourg on the date of sale, and the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, taken directly to Retained Earnings. This has been treated as a non cash flow item in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Deficit and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

COVID-19 Pandemic

We continuously monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets in which we operate, acting to minimize impacts on operations and the equity and financial position. Management is implementing appropriate measures to ensure the continuity of operations, protect cash, improve liquidity and promote health and safety for all stakeholders.

During the third quarter of 2021, most markets in Avon International and many markets in Avon Latin America continued to be impacted by COVID-19 restrictions which resulted in deceleration of the Beauty market growth and a lower representative base. It is unclear if current lockdown measures will continue or be reestablished elsewhere globally which could dampen our recovery from COVID-19.

Considering this scenario, we review the recoverability expectations of our financial and non-financial assets in the preparation of this interim accounting information, considering the most recent information available and reflected in the Company's business plans. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, no deterioration in the Company's liquidity, cash position or leverage that could impact compliance with financial covenants and short-term commitments was identified.

See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors — The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, our operations, manufacturing, supply chains and distribution systems, and we have experienced and expect to continue to experience unpredictable negative effects associated with the pandemic" included in Item 1A of our 2020 Annual Report.

Going concern

Considering the uncertain nature of any possible future COVID-19 impacts which are beyond the Company’s control, we might expect some negative impact on revenue from COVID-19 to continue for the remainder of 2021, which will, in turn, result in lower cash generation from activities. If the downturn is deeper or for longer than we anticipate, the Company could take certain further actions to ease the pressure of certain cash outflows, such as reducing discretionary expenditure, selling non-core assets, accessing government pandemic initiatives or arranging borrowing facilities with third-party banks and affiliate companies. Our projections indicate that we should have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations to parties other than Natura &Co and its affiliates for a period of not less than 12 months from the issuance date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has received an irrevocable commitment from Natura &Co Holding that it will provide sufficient financial support if and when needed to enable the Company to meet its operating and financing obligations as they come due in the normal course of business for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements. This support also includes the loan originally issued by a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding to a subsidiary of the Company of $960, part of which was repaid in July 2021 with the proceeds from a loan maturing in 2028, with the balance now due on November 2, 2022. As a result, the outstanding loan balances due to subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding on September 30, 2021 stood at $149 maturing within one year, $206 maturing in November 2022 and $767 maturing in 2028.

Accounting Standards Implemented

ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2019-12"), Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify the accounting standard and improve the usefulness of information provided in the financial statements. We adopted this new accounting guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

The Company has implemented a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR and, as a result, has elected to apply the optional expedient included in ASU 2020-04 to account for modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, to be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate.

(4) The payable to Natura &Co relates to the vesting and settlement of share based compensation awards denominated in Natura &Co American Depository Receipts including the 2018 long-term employee incentive program which vested and were automatically exercised in March 2021.

(5) Loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at September 30, 2021 of $1,121.5 include $767.1 outstanding under a Promissory Note between Avon Beauty Limited and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding, and $205.7 outstanding under a Promissory Note with a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and an affiliate of the Company. On 29 October 2021, the $205.7 Promissory Note between Avon International Operations Inc. and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding was amended to extend its maturity to November 2, 2022. In accordance with ASC 470 - Debt, the $206 Promissory Note has therefore been presented as non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021. In addition loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at September 30, 2021 include $148.7 of intercompany loans between Avon Luxembourg and Avon Products, Inc. affiliates that, following the sale of Avon Luxembourg to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding on July 1, 2021, were redesignated as loans from affiliates of Natura & Co Holdings. Loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at December 31, 2020 of $1,008.6 include $965 outstanding under a Promissory Note between Avon International Operations Inc. and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding.

(6) During the second quarter of 2021, Avon Cosméticos LTDA., made an investment of R$.5 in Natura &Co Pay Holding Financeira S.A., representing a 10% holding in the company. This is presented in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(7) On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding. As a result, transactions and balances between Avon International and Avon Luxembourg are no longer eliminated on consolidation and instead are treated as transactions and balances with Related Parties.

* The three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 include approximately $12 and $22, respectively, to reflect the impact of certain Brazil indirect taxes which were recorded in product sales, in our Consolidated Income Statements. See Note 10 Supplemental Balance Sheet Information, to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein for further information.    

Contract balances

The timing of revenue recognition generally is different from the timing of a promise made to a Representative. As a result, we have contract liabilities, which primarily relate to the advance consideration received from Representatives prior to transfer of the related good or service for material rights, such as loyalty points and status programs, and are primarily classified within other accrued liabilities (with the long-term portion in other liabilities) in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Generally, we record accounts receivable when we invoice a Representative. In addition, we record an estimate of an allowance for doubtful accounts on receivable balances based on an analysis of historical data and current circumstances, including seasonality, changing trends and the impact of COVID-19. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed for adequacy, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. We generally have no detailed information concerning, or any communication with, any ultimate consumer of our products beyond the Representative. We have no legal recourse against the ultimate consumer for the collection of any accounts receivable balances due from the Representative to us. If the financial condition of the Representatives were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

The following table provides information about receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Accounts receivable, net of allowances of $37.0 and $51.1	$	210.0	$	259.1
Contract liabilities	$	33.2	$	52.1

The contract liability balances relate to certain material rights (loyalty points, status program and prospective discounts). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $38.3 of revenue related to the contract liability balance at the beginning of the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, as the result of performance obligations satisfied. In addition, we deferred an additional $24.3 related to certain material rights granted during the period, for which the performance obligations are not yet satisfied. Of the amount deferred during the period, substantially all will be recognized within a year, with the significant majority to be captured within a quarter. The remaining movement in the contract liability balance is attributable to foreign exchange differences arising on the translation of the balance as at September 30, 2021 as compared with December 31, 2020, and the sale of Avon Luxembourg.

Brazilian Tax Assessments

Tax on Manufactured Products – minimum pricing rules

In December 2012 and in October 2017, our Brazilian subsidiary, Avon Industrial LTDA (Avon Brazil Manufacturing) received excise tax ("IPI") assessments for the years 2008 and 2014.

As in prior IPI cases that have been resolved in Avon’s favor, the assessments assert that the establishment in 1995 of separate manufacturing and distribution companies in Brazil was done without a valid business purpose, and that Avon Brazil Manufacturing did not observe minimum pricing rules to define the taxable basis of the tax on manufactured products. The structure adopted in 1995 is comparable to that used by many other companies in Brazil. We believe that our Brazilian corporate structure is appropriate, both operationally and legally, and that the assessments are unfounded.

These matters are being contested at the administrative court, where proceedings are currently in progress. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total amount under discussion classified as reasonably possible was $366 and $378, respectively.

Tax on Manufactured Products – Decree equated certain commercial companies (not subject to IPI taxation) to industrial companies (IPI taxpayers)

In May 2015, an executive decree established the levy of IPI on the sales of cosmetic products by Avon Brazil. Avon Brazil filed an objection to this levy on the basis that it is not constitutional since this tax is already paid by Avon Brazil Manufacturing. In December 2016, Avon Brazil received a favorable decision from the Federal District Court regarding this objection. This decision has been appealed by the Federal Tax Authority. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total amount under discussion classified as reasonably possible was $241 and $231, respectively.

Talc-Related Litigation

The Company has been named a defendant in numerous personal injury lawsuits filed in U.S. courts, alleging that certain talc products the Company sold in the past were contaminated with asbestos. Many of these actions involve a number of co-defendants from a variety of different industries, including manufacturers of cosmetics and manufacturers of other products that, unlike the Company’s products, were designed to contain asbestos. As of September 30, 2021, there were 152 individual cases pending against the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 33 new cases were filed and 10 cases were dismissed, settled or otherwise resolved. The value of the settlements was not material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Additional similar cases arising out of the use of the Company’s talc products are reasonably anticipated.

We believe that the claims asserted against us in these cases are without merit. We are defending vigorously against these claims and will continue to do so. To date, the Company has not proceeded to trial in any case filed against it and there have been no findings of liability enforceable against the Company. However, nationwide trial results in similar cases filed against other manufacturers of cosmetic talc products have ranged from outright dismissals to very large jury awards of both compensatory and punitive damages. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of all individual cases pending against the Company, and we are only able to make a specific estimate for a small number of individual cases that have advanced to the later stages of legal proceedings. For the remaining cases, we provide an estimate of exposure on an aggregated and ongoing basis, which takes into account the historical outcomes of all cases we have resolved to date. Any accruals currently recorded on the Company’s balance sheet with respect to these cases are not material. However, any adverse outcomes, either in an individual case or in the aggregate, could be material. Future costs to litigate these cases, which we expense as incurred, are not known but may be significant, though some costs will be covered by insurance.

Brazilian Labor-Related Litigation

On an ongoing basis, the Company is subject to numerous and diverse labor-related lawsuits filed by employees in Brazil. These cases are assessed on an aggregated and ongoing basis based on historical outcomes of similar cases. The claims made are often for significantly larger sums than have historically been paid out by the Company. Our practice continues to be to recognize a liability based on our assessment of historical payments in similar cases. Our best estimate of the probable loss for such cases at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was approximately $9 and $8, respectively. Accordingly, we have recognized a liability for this amount.

Shareholder Litigation

On February 14, 2019, a purported shareholder’s class action complaint (Bevinal v. Avon Products, Inc., et al., No. 19-cv-1420) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain former officers of the Company. The complaint was subsequently amended and recaptioned "In re Avon Products, Inc. Securities Litigation". The amended complaint is brought on behalf of a purported class consisting of all purchasers or acquirers of Avon common stock between January 21, 2016 and November 1, 2017, inclusive. The complaint asserts violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") based on allegedly false or misleading statements and alleged market manipulation with respect to, among other things, changes made to Avon’s credit terms for Representatives in Brazil. Avon and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss which the court denied. During 2020, the parties reached an agreement on a settlement of this class action. The terms of settlement include releases by members of the class of claims against the Company and the individual defendants and payment of $14.5 million. Approximately $2 million of the settlement was paid by the Company (which represented the remaining deductible under the Company’s applicable insurance policies) and the remainder of the settlement was paid by the Company’s insurers. On August 31, 2020, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement, and on February 3, 2021, the court entered an order and judgment granting final approval of the settlement. This judgment is now final.

Other Matters

Various other lawsuits and claims, arising in the ordinary course of business or related to businesses previously sold, are pending or threatened against Avon. In management’s opinion, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving such other contingencies at September 30, 2021 is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have identified two reportable segments based on geographic operations: Avon International and Avon Latin America.

We determine segment profit by deducting the related costs and expenses from segment revenue. Segment profit includes an allocation of central expenses to the extent they support the operating activity of the segment. Segment profit excludes certain CTI restructuring initiatives, certain significant asset impairment charges, and other expenses, which are not allocated to a particular segment, if applicable. This is consistent with the manner in which we assess our performance and allocate resources.

Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments was as follows:

(3)For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, unallocated global expenses primarily include stewardship and other expenses not directly attributable to reportable segments.

(4)For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, costs related to the Transaction primarily include professional fees of approximately $44, severance payments of approximately $25 and acceleration of share based compensation of approximately $10 relating to these terminations triggered by change in control provisions. Refer to Note 17, Merger with Natura for more information relating to the Natura transaction.

(5)The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 include the impact of certain Brazil taxes, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, net in the amounts of approximately $2.

RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES

RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES

Natura &Co - Avon Integration

Subsequent to the merger of Natura and Avon in January 2020, an integration plan (the "Avon Integration") was established to create the right global infrastructure to support the future ambitions of the Natura &Co Group while also identifying synergies and opportunities to leverage our combined strength, scale and reach. Synergies will be derived mainly from procurement, manufacturing/distribution and administrative, as well as top line synergies, primarily between Avon LATAM and Natura &Co Latin America.

Open Up Avon, Open Up & Grow and Transformation Plan

In January 2016, we initiated a transformation plan (the "Transformation Plan"), in order to enable us to achieve our long-term goals of mid-single-digit Constant $ revenue growth and low double-digit operating margin. There are no further restructuring actions to be taken associated with our Transformation Plan as, beginning in the third quarter of 2018, all new restructuring actions approved operate under our new Open Up Avon plan described below.

In September 2018, we initiated a new strategy in order to return Avon to growth ("Open Up Avon"). The Open Up Avon strategy was integral to our ability to return Avon to growth, built around the necessity of incorporating new approaches to various elements of our business, including increased utilization of third-party providers in manufacturing and technology, a

more fit for purpose asset base, and a focus on enabling our Representatives to more easily interact with the company and achieve relevant earnings. In January 2019, we announced significant advancements in this strategy, including a structural reset of inventory processes and a reduction in global workforce.

In May 2020, the new leadership of Avon International refreshed our strategy ("Open Up & Grow") which aims to return Avon International to growth over the next three years. Open Up & Grow replaces and builds on the success of the Open Up Avon strategy, launched in 2018, to strengthen competitiveness through enhancing the representative experience, improving brand position and relevance, accelerating digital expansion and improving costs. Over the next three years, savings are expected to continue to be achieved through restructuring actions (that may continue to result in charges related to severance, contract terminations and asset write-offs), as well as other cost-savings strategies that would not result in restructuring charges.

Costs to Implement Restructuring Initiatives - Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net costs to implement of $2.6, of which $3.1 related to Avon Integration, and a net benefit of $.4 related to Open Up & Grow and a net benefit of $.1 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded costs to implement of $10.9 of which $11.1 related to Avon Integration, $.7 related to Open Up & Grow, and a net benefit of $.9 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net costs to implement of $51.0, of which $13.0 related to Avon Integration, $38.6 related to Open Up & Grow and a net benefit of $.6 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded costs to implement of $16.1 of which $12.7 related to Avon Integration, $7.6 related to Open Up & Grow, and a net benefit of $4.2 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, short-term investments, accounts receivable, debt maturing within one year, accounts payable, long-term debt and foreign exchange forward contracts. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt maturing within one year and short-term investments approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The net asset (liability) amounts recorded in the balance sheet (carrying amount) and the estimated fair values of our remaining financial instruments at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, consisted of the following:

(1) The carrying value of long-term debt is presented net of debt issuance costs and includes any related discount or premium, as applicable.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are as follows:

•Available-for-sale securities - The fair values of these investments were the quoted market prices for issues listed on securities exchanges.

•Long-term debt - The fair values of our debt and other financing were determined using Level 2 inputs based on indicative market prices.

•Foreign exchange forward contracts - The fair values of forward contracts were estimated based on quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We operate globally, with manufacturing and distribution facilities in various countries around the world. We may reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the fair value and cash flows associated with changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions, including through the use of derivative financial instruments. If we use foreign currency-rate sensitive and interest-rate sensitive instruments to hedge a certain portion of our existing and forecasted transactions, we would expect that any gain or loss in value of the hedge instruments generally would be offset by decreases or increases in the value of the underlying forecasted transactions.

We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor are we a party to leveraged derivatives. Agreements governing our derivative contracts generally contain standard provisions that could trigger early termination of the contracts in certain circumstances, including if we were to merge with another entity and the creditworthiness of the surviving entity were to be "materially weaker" than that of Avon prior to the Transaction.

Derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments at September 30, 2021:

	Asset			Liability
	Balance Sheet Classification	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Classification	Fair Value
Derivatives not designated as hedges:
Foreign exchange forward contracts	Prepaid expenses and other	$	2.7	Accounts payable	$	—
Total derivatives		$	2.7		$	—

Foreign exchange forward contracts	Prepaid expenses and other	$	2.8	Accounts payable	$	6.0
Total derivatives		$	2.8		$	6.0

Interest Rate Risk

On June 30, 2021 we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap agreement with a third party bank, designated as a cash flow hedge, whereby we receive fixed rate interest payments on $11 at 2.10% per annum in exchange for making floating interest rate payments on R$55 at CDI plus 1.87% for a period of 6 months. At September 30, 2021, the fair value of the cross currency interest-rate swap agreement was $.9. At December 31, 2020, we did not have any interest-rate swap agreements.

Approximately 7% and 4% of our debt portfolio at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, was exposed to floating interest rates, which relates to our short-term debt portfolio.

Foreign Currency Risk

We may use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of our foreign currency exchange rate exposures. At September 30, 2021, we had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $131 for various currencies, none of which were designated as cash flow hedges.

We may use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure of certain balance sheet items. The change in fair value of these items is immediately recognized in earnings and substantially offsets the foreign currency translation impact recognized in earnings relating to the associated balance sheet items. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a gain of $2.8 and a loss $13.9, respectively, in other (expense) income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these undesignated foreign exchange forward contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a gain of $1.5 and a loss $7.1, respectively, in other (expense) income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these undesignated foreign exchange forward contracts.

Natura Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, Avon Luxembourg entered into a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with Natura &Co International S.à r.l., a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and an affiliate of the Company, in the initial amount of $100, increased to $250 in March 2021), which may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (the "Facility"). Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus a margin determined on an arms length basis, and the Facility is to mature on May 31, 2022. On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and the Company no longer has access to this facility.

Other Loans from Affiliates of Natura &Co

In November 2020, Avon International Operations, Inc. ("AIO") entered into a Promissory Note with a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and an affiliate of the Company in the amount of $960. The Promissory Note bears interest at a rate per annum of 3.13% and matures on November 2, 2021 (“the Natura &Co Loan”). On July 1, 2021, as part of the sale of Avon Luxembourg to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding the $960 loan was partially repaid with the proceeds from a loan maturing in 2028. As at September 30, 2021, $206 was outstanding under the Natura &Co Loan and $767 was outstanding under the loan maturing in 2028 which is between Avon Beauty Limited, and Natura &Co Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l. ("Natura &Co Lux Loan"). On 29 October 2021, the $206 Promissory Note between Avon International Operations Inc. and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding was amended to extend its maturity to November 2, 2022. In accordance with ASC 470 - Debt, the $206 Promissory Note has therefore been presented as non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021.

In addition, loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at September 30, 2021 of $149 includes a number of intercompany loans between Avon Luxembourg and Avon Products, Inc. affiliates that, following the sale of Avon Luxembourg to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding S.A. on July 1, 2021, were redesignated as loans from affiliates of Natura & Co Holding.

Other Short-Term Financing

In addition, at September 30, 2021, we utilized approximately $36 of short-term financing from third-party banks across multiple markets.

2019 Revolving Credit Facility

In February 2019, Avon International Capital, p.l.c. ("AIC"), a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of the Company, entered into a three year €200.0 senior secured revolving credit facility (the "2019 facility") and capitalized $11.0 of issuance costs, the related cash outflow is presented in other financing activities within the 10-K Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The 2019 facility was available for general corporate and working capital purposes.

As of December 31, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under the 2019 facility and on January 3, 2020, the facility was automatically canceled upon change of control, and as a result $7.8 of unamortized issuance costs were written off, see Note 17, Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A.

Unsecured Notes

In March 2013, we issued a series of unsecured notes (the "2013 Notes"). As of September 30, 2021, the following 2013 Notes remain outstanding: $461.9 aggregate principal amount of 5% Notes due March 15, 2023 and $216.1 aggregate principal amount of 6.95% Notes due March 15, 2043. Interest on the 2013 Notes is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The indenture governing the 2013 Notes contains interest rate adjustment provisions depending on the long-term credit ratings assigned to the 2013 Notes by S&P and Moody’s. As described in the indenture, the interest rates on the 2013 Notes increase or decrease by .25% for each one-notch movement below investment grade on each of the credit ratings assigned to the 2013 Notes by S&P or Moody's. These adjustments are limited to a total increase of 2% above the respective interest rates in effect on the date of issuance of the 2013 Notes.

In September 2020, we repurchased $27.8 of our 6.95% Notes due March 15, 2043. The aggregate repurchase price was equal to the principal amount of the notes, plus a premium of $3.8 and accrued interest of $1.2. In connection with the repurchase, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.1 before tax in the third quarter of 2020 consisting of the $3.8 premium paid for the repurchases, and $.3 for the write-off of debt issuance costs and discounts related to the initial issuance of the notes that were repurchased.

Senior Secured Notes

In August 2016, AIO issued $500.0 in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due August 15, 2022 (the "2016 Notes"). In July 2019, AIC issued $400.0 in aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due August 15, 2022 (the "2019 Notes").

In November 2020, in connection with the Natura & Co Promissory Note, we redeemed the outstanding principal amount of our 2016 Notes due August 15, 2022 and the outstanding principal amount of our 2019 Notes due August 15, 2022. With respect to the 2016 Notes, the aggregate redemption amount paid was equal to the outstanding principal amount of $500, plus a premium of $9.8 and accrued interest of $8.4. With respect to the 2019 Notes, the aggregate redemption amount paid was equal to the outstanding principal amount of $400, plus a premium of $7.9 and accrued interest of $5.6.

In connection with the redemption, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $25.6 before tax in the fourth quarter of 2020 consisting of the $17.7 premiums, and the write-off of $7.9 of debt issuance costs related to the initial issuances of the notes that were redeemed.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

Our quarterly income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective income tax approach. The quarterly effective tax rate can differ from our estimated annual effective tax rate as the Company cannot apply an effective tax rate approach for all of its operations. For those entities that can apply an effective tax rate approach, as of September 30, 2021, our annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, is 32.1%, as compared to 25.9% as of September 30, 2020. 

The remaining entities, which are operations that generate pre-tax losses which cannot be tax benefited and/or have an effective tax rate which cannot be reliably estimated, have to account for their income taxes on a discrete year-to-date basis as of the end of each quarter and are excluded from the effective tax rate approach. The estimated annual effective tax rate for 2021 and 2020 also excludes the unfavorable impact of withholding taxes associated with certain intercompany payments, including royalties, service charges, interest and dividends, which in the aggregate are relatively consistent each year due to the need to repatriate

funds to cover U.S. and U.K. based costs, such as interest on debt and central expenses. Withholding taxes associated with the relatively consistent intercompany payments are accounted for discretely and accrued in the provision for income taxes as they become due.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $(10.4) and $11.8, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 22.6% and (68.6)%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $15.5 and $26.7, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were (10.5)% and (10.4)%, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by CTI restructuring charges which could not all be benefited, country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2021 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $8.9 associated with the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $10.4, offset by the net recording of valuation allowances of $1.5 The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 was favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $5.7 associated with the release of income tax reserves of $10.8 associated with our uncertain tax positions, and the recording of a valuation allowance of $4.3 and other miscellaneous income tax expense of $.8.

The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were impacted by CTI restructuring charges which could not all be benefited, country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the accrual of net tax expense of $.4 due to the net release of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $7.8, the net recording of valuation allowances of $7.5 and miscellaneous income tax expense of approximately $.7. The effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was also favorably impacted by the accrual of net income tax benefits of $1.8 associated with the release of income tax reserves of $11.2 associated with our uncertain tax positions, net of recording a valuation allowance of $4.3 and other miscellaneous income tax expense of $5.1.

In prior years, we had previously recorded valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets associated with the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We intend to continue maintaining these valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to achieve. The Company continuously monitors its operational and capital structure changes, business performance, tax planning actions and tax planning strategies that could potentially allow for the recognition of deferred tax assets which are currently subject to a valuation allowance. There is the possibility that, in the foreseeable future, certain deferred tax assets could be recognized, which may be material, related to changes in business operations and associated financing of such operations.

Further, the Company continuously assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize our existing deferred tax assets that are not subject to a valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic is negative evidence the Company must consider. As of September 30, 2021, the negative evidence associated with COVID-19 has not required the recording of additional valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and other effects that could impact the conclusions regarding the realizability of its remaining deferred tax assets. Potential negative evidence, including such things as the worsening of the economies in the markets we operate in and reduced profitability of our markets could give rise to a need for a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets in upcoming quarters.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

MERGER WITH NATURA COSMETICOS S.A.

MERGER WITH NATURA COSMÉTICOS S.A. On May 22, 2019, the Company entered into the Agreement and Plan of Mergers (as amended by Amendment Number One to Agreement and Plant of Mergers, dated as of October 3, 2019, and as further amended by Amendment Number Two to Agreement and Plan of Mergers, dated as of November 5, 2019, the "Merger Agreement") among the Company, Natura Cosméticos S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) ("Natura Cosméticos"), Natura &Co Holding, a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima), Nectarine Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding ("Merger Sub I"), and Nectarine Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub I ("Merger Sub II"), pursuant to which (i) Natura &Co Holding, after the completion of certain restructuring steps, holds all issued and outstanding shares of Natura Cosméticos, (ii) Merger Sub II merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the "First Merger") and (iii) Merger Sub I merged with and into Natura &Co Holding (the "Second Merger"), with Natura &Co Holding surviving the merger and as a result of which the Company and Natura Cosméticos became wholly owned direct subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding (collectively, the "Transaction").

The Transaction was consummated on January 3, 2020, and at this time, the Company became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding. In connection with the Transaction, trading of the Company’s stock was suspended by the NYSE, and the Company’s common stock was subsequently delisted and deregistered.

On completion of the Transaction, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction was converted into the ultimate right to receive, (i) 0.300 validly issued and allotted, fully paid-up American Depositary Shares of Natura &Co Holding, ("Natura &Co Holding ADSs") against the deposit of two shares of common stock of Natura &Co Holding ("Natura &Co Holding Shares", subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and any cash in lieu of fractional Natura &Co Holding ADSs or (ii) 0.600 validly issued and allotted, fully paid-up Natura &Co Holding Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and any cash in lieu of fractional Natura &Co Holding Shares. The Company’s Series C Preferred Stock held by Cerberus Investor were converted to common stock prior to consummation of the Transaction and were therefore automatically converted into common stock of Natura &Co. In January 2020, Natura &Co Holding paid the accrued dividend of $91.5 to Cerberus.

Natura &Co Holding Shares are listed on the B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão stock exchange, and Natura &Co Holding ADSs are listed on the NYSE. Additionally, upon the consummation of the Transaction, Avon common stock ceased to be traded on the NYSE.

In January 2020, subsequent to the Transaction, the Company restated the certificate of incorporation. The certificate of incorporation was restated to effect a change in capitalization of the Company by changing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,525,000,000 shares (of which (i) 1,500,000,000 shares, par value $0.25 per share, are common stock and (ii) 25,000,000 shares, par value $1.00 per share, are preferred stock) to 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As a result, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, being 550,890,788 were canceled and converted into 101.34 common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and all outstanding treasury shares were canceled.

The Company incurred costs of $46 in relation to the Transaction, primarily professional fees during the year ended December 31, 2020.

During January 2020, it was announced that the employment of certain senior officers of the Company would be terminated, in connection with the Transaction. The Company incurred severance of approximately $25 and acceleration of share based compensation of approximately $10 relating to these terminations triggered by change in control provisions.

As a result of the Transaction, the Company made payments of approximately $26 related to the settlement of stock options. In addition, any remaining restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units were exchanged for awards of Natura &Co Holding. The replacement awards contain substantially the same terms and conditions of the original awards except for the removal of the performance conditions. As such, the replacement awards contain only a service vesting condition.

On consummation of the Transaction, a deferred compensation scheme relating to former employees of the Company became payable which resulted in extinguishing the liability and a cash outflow of approximately $12.

In January 2020, upon completion of the Transaction, the Company’s revolving credit facility was canceled, triggered by change in control provisions. As a result, debt issuance costs of $7.8 were written off.

As a result of the Transaction, the Company will no longer have access to certain tax attributes of approximately $546 to approximately $616 in certain taxing jurisdictions. These tax attributes had been formerly reflected as deferred tax assets which were subject to a full valuation allowance and as a result, there was no impact to net income in 2020 from the write-off of the deferred tax asset and the associated valuation allowances.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2020 Form 10-K") in preparing these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, other than those impacted by new accounting standards as described below. On January 3, 2020, we completed the Agreement and Plan of Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) ("Natura Cosméticos"), Natura &Co Holding S.A., a Brazilian corporation (sociedade anônima) ("Natura &Co Holding"), and two subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding ("Natura &Co") pursuant to which, in a series of transactions (the "Transaction"). Upon the consummation of the Transaction, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding; and Avon's common stock ceased to be traded on the NYSE. The Company files these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements with the SEC as a voluntary filer to comply with the terms of certain debt instruments. For additional information, see Note 17, Agreement and Plan of Mergers with Natura Cosméticos S.A.

In our opinion, the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. You should read these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2020 Form 10-K. When used in this report, the terms "Avon," "Company," "we" or "us" mean Avon Products, Inc.

For interim Consolidated Financial Statements purposes, we generally provide for accruals under our various employee benefit plans for each quarter based on one quarter of the estimated annual expense, and adjust these accruals as estimates are refined. In addition, our income tax provision is determined using an estimate of our consolidated annual effective tax rate, adjusted in the current period for discrete income tax items including:

•the effects of significant, unusual or extraordinary pretax and income tax items, if any;

•the impact of changes in tax legislation, if any;

•withholding taxes recognized associated with cash repatriations; and

•the impact of loss-making subsidiaries for which we cannot recognize an income tax benefit and subsidiaries for which an effective tax rate cannot be reliably estimated.

Accounting Standards Implemented

Accounting Standards Implemented

ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2019-12"), Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify the accounting standard and improve the usefulness of information provided in the financial statements. We adopted this new accounting guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

The Company has implemented a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR and, as a result, has elected to apply the optional expedient included in ASU 2020-04 to account for modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, to be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate.

(1) During the second quarter of 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to loan the Instituto Avon, an independent non-government charitable organization in Brazil, R$12 million (Brazilian reais) for an unsecured five-year term at a fixed interest rate of 7% per annum, to be paid back in five equal annual installments. The Instituto Avon was created by an Avon subsidiary in Brazil, with the board and executive team comprised of Avon Brazil management. The purpose of the loan was to provide the Instituto Avon with the means to donate funds to Fundação Pio XII (a leading cancer prevention and treatment organization in Brazil and owner of the Hospital do Câncer de Barretos), in order to invest in equipment with the objective of expanding breast cancer prevention and treatment.    

(2) During the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into manufacturing agreements with affiliates of Natura &Co Holding. The Company recorded revenue from related party of $4.5 and $.9 associated with these agreements during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded gross profit from related party of $.4 and $.1 associated with these agreements during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded revenue from related party of $20.9 and $2.7 associated with these agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded gross profit from related party of $1.5 and $.5 associated with these agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Trade receivables due from affiliates of Natura &Co primarily relate to these manufacturing agreements.

(3) The Company is party to a license agreement with Avon Mexico, whereby Avon Mexico pays the Company a variable royalty. The Company recorded revenue from related party of $2 and $2 associated with these agreements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company recorded gross profit from related party of $2 and $2 associated with these agreements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

(4) The payable to Natura &Co relates to the vesting and settlement of share based compensation awards denominated in Natura &Co American Depository Receipts including the 2018 long-term employee incentive program which vested and were automatically exercised in March 2021.

(5) Loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at September 30, 2021 of $1,121.5 include $767.1 outstanding under a Promissory Note between Avon Beauty Limited and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding, and $205.7 outstanding under a Promissory Note with a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding and an affiliate of the Company. On 29 October 2021, the $205.7 Promissory Note between Avon International Operations Inc. and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding was amended to extend its maturity to November 2, 2022. In accordance with ASC 470 - Debt, the $206 Promissory Note has therefore been presented as non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021. In addition loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at September 30, 2021 include $148.7 of intercompany loans between Avon Luxembourg and Avon Products, Inc. affiliates that, following the sale of Avon Luxembourg to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding on July 1, 2021, were redesignated as loans from affiliates of Natura & Co Holdings. Loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at December 31, 2020 of $1,008.6 include $965 outstanding under a Promissory Note between Avon International Operations Inc. and a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding.

(6) During the second quarter of 2021, Avon Cosméticos LTDA., made an investment of R$.5 in Natura &Co Pay Holding Financeira S.A., representing a 10% holding in the company. This is presented in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(7) On July 1, 2021, the Company sold Avon Luxembourg, including our Mexican business, to a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding. As a result, transactions and balances between Avon International and Avon Luxembourg are no longer eliminated on consolidation and instead are treated as transactions and balances with Related Parties.
