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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2021 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") or ("Natura &Co), and two subsidiaries of Natura &Co Holding 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 contained in our 2021 Form 10-K.

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 2021 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.

COVID-19, Russia-Ukraine war and ongoing concern

In 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in inflationary pressures on the cost of certain raw materials used in the production of essential items due to the increased demand for these inputs worldwide. These inflationary pressures have been compounded by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and by disruptions in global supply chains and climate events that hit electricity generation globally, among other events. Moreover, novel strains and variants of COVID-19 emerged in 2021 against which existing vaccines and acquired immunity may not be effective, and the rollout of vaccination programs worldwide have compromised the ability of certain countries to effectively contain the spread and the toll of the virus. While some restrictions have been lifted in the markets in which we operate, they may be reimplemented if the contagion does not subside, suppressing economic activity.

As a result, we continue to closely monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets in which we operate, especially with regard to restrictive measures adopted by these jurisdictions. We continuously analyze the situation and act to minimize impacts on the operations and on the equity and financial position of the Company, with the objective of implementing appropriate measures, ensuring the continuity of operations, hedge cash, improve liquidity and promote the health and safety of all.

In view of this scenario, we review the recoverability expectations of our financial and non-financial assets in the preparation of these financial statements, considering the most recent information available and reflected in the Company’s business plans. In addition, we also consider possible effects on the financial statements including revenues and the continued transition to the digital environment, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment of non-financial assets, leases, liquidity and capital resources and going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

As of the date of this report, we are unable to estimate the long-term economic impact arising from efforts to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the expected reduction in activity on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We will continue to review our revenue, investments, expenses and cash outflows, as well as adjusting our relationships with suppliers. Furthermore, the actions outlined above are continuously being re-evaluated in light of global developments relating to COVID-19.

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 2021 Annual Report.

Going Concern

Considering the uncertain nature of any possible future COVID-19 impacts which are beyond the Company’s control and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, we expect some negative impact on revenue in 2022, 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.

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 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 includes the obligations related to the $462 5.00% Notes, which are due to be repaid in March 2023, and the amount of $209 outstanding under the Natura &Co Loan due to be repaid in November 2022.

Accounting Standards Implemented

ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805)

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 major classes of financial statement components comprising the loss on discontinued operations, net of tax for New Avon during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are shown below:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

In the fourth quarter of 2021 we recognized a loss of $1.1 before and after tax, which is reported separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations representing the difference between the write off of the loan balance, the carrying value of the business and assets of the Avon Beauty Arabia on the date of sale, and associated disposal costs.

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, the impact of COVID-19 and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Accounts receivable, net of allowances of $45.1 and $37.2	$	212.1	$	198.7
Contract liabilities	$	34.2	$	37.1

The contract liability balances relate to certain material rights (loyalty points, status program and prospective discounts). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $23.5 of revenue related to the contract liability balance at the beginning of the three month period ended March 31, 2022, as the result of performance obligations satisfied. In addition, we deferred an additional $20.4 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 March 31, 2022 as compared with December 31, 2021.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total amount under discussion classified as reasonably possible was $430 and $360, respectively, the increase largely due to movements in foreign exchange rates.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total amount under discussion classified as reasonably possible was $292 and $243, respectively, the increase largely due to movements in foreign exchange rates.

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 March 31, 2022, there were 158 individual cases pending against the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 13 new cases were filed and 6 cases were dismissed, settled or otherwise resolved. The value of the settlements was not material, either individually or in the aggregate,

15

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

to the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately $13 and $11, respectively. Accordingly, we have recognized a liability for this amount.

Brazilian Financial Indemnities

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has issued a number of guarantees totaling $201 and $157, respectively, which it could be required to make in the event of adverse judgments in a number of lawsuits in Brazil.

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 March 31, 2022 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 costs to implement ("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 March 31,
Total Revenue	2022		2021
Avon International	$	353.3	$	430.9
Avon Latin America	306.3		465.8
Total revenue from reportable segments(1)	659.6		896.7
Revenue from affiliates to Natura &Co	3.7		7.7

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.

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

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.

CTI Restructuring Initiatives - Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded net CTI of $10.8, of which $3.5 related to Avon Integration, and a net benefit of $7.5 related to Open Up & Grow and a net benefit of $.2 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded CTI of $19.5 of which $6.1 related to Avon Integration, $14.2 related to Open Up & Grow, and a net benefit of $.8 related to the Transformation Plan, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The costs during the three and three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
	Carrying Amount	Fair Value	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Loans to affiliates of Natura &Co maturing within one year	45.5	45.5	46.6	46.6
Loans to affiliates of Natura &Co maturing after one year	46.7	46.7	46.7	46.7
Debt maturing within one year	(561.4)	(567.6)	(32.6)	(32.6)
Loans from affiliates of Natura &Co maturing within one year	(458.3)	(458.3)	(371.7)	(371.7)
Long-term debt(1)	(215.2)	(252.0)	(676.0)	(754.2)
Loans from affiliates of Natura &Co maturing after one year	(721.0)	(721.0)	(736.3)	(736.3)
Foreign exchange forward contracts	(.5)	(.5)	(2.7)	(2.7)

(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 March 31, 2022:

	Asset			Liability
	Balance Sheet Classification	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Classification	Fair Value
Derivatives designated as hedges:

Interest Rate Risk

Approximately 13% and 5% of our debt portfolio at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2022, we had outstanding third-party foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $237 for various currencies, none of which were designated as cash flow hedges.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with Natura &Co Luxembourg, a subsidiary of Natura &Co Holding, to manage a portion of its foreign currency exchange rate exposures. At March 31, 2022, we had outstanding related party foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $175 for various currencies for up to 9 months, all of which were designated as cash flow hedges. In addition we had $1.1 Accounts Receivable and $1.0 Accounts Payable recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with these transactions, all of which are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

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

23

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

translation impact recognized in earnings relating to the associated balance sheet items. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a gain of $3.5 and a loss $.7, 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. Borrowings under this Facility bear interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus a margin determined on an arm's 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 therefore 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, 2022 (“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 March 31, 2022, $209 was outstanding under the Natura &Co Loan and $721 was outstanding under the loan maturing in 2028 which is between Avon Beauty Limited, and Natura &Co Luxembourg ("Natura &Co Luxembourg Loan").

In addition, loans from affiliates of Natura &Co Holding at March 31, 2022 of $249 includes a number of intercompany loans between Natura &Co Luxembourg, Natura Cosméticos and Avon Products, Inc. affiliates.

Other Short-Term Financing

In addition, at March 31, 2022, we utilized approximately $100 of short-term financing from third-party banks across multiple markets.

Unsecured Notes

In March 2013, we issued a series of unsecured notes (the "2013 Notes"). As of March 31, 2022, 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.

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, 2021.

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 March 31, 2022, our annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items, is 26.4%, as compared to 26.5% as of March 31, 2021. 

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 2022 and 2021 also excludes the unfavorable impact of withholding taxes associated with certain intercompany payments, including royalties,

24

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $4.8 and $7.1, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were (5.7)% and (11.5)%, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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 first quarter of 2022 was unfavorably impacted by the recording of valuation allowances of $3.1 and other miscellaneous net tax expense of $5.0. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2021 was unfavorably impacted by other miscellaneous income tax expense of approximately $2.4.

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 March 31, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic is an example of negative evidence the Company must consider. As of March 31, 2022, 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.

We monitor the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a continuous basis. Should macroeconomic and socio-political conditions change or our business operations do not improve, approximately $75 of deferred tax assets could potentially need to be offset with the recording of a valuation allowance during the next 12 months. The deferred tax assets are associated with Avon subsidiary operations that suffered a loss in earnings before tax during 2021.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

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. We are 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") on January 3, 2020.

Our business is conducted primarily in the direct-selling channel, with a strategy to expand to omni-channel. During 2021, we had sales operations in 54 countries and territories, and distributed products in 24 more. As at December 31, 2021 we had sales operations in 52 countries and territories. 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 three months ended March 31, 2022, revenue decreased 27%, unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange variations, primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Brazilian real, which was partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish lira, Russian ruble and the Argentinian peso.

On a Constant $ basis, Adjusted revenue decreased 22% driven by declines of 10% in Avon International and 33% in Avon Latin America, mostly as a result of (i) the sale of Avon Luxembourg on July 1, 2021, (ii) decreases in Active Representatives in most markets, (iii) the residual impact of changes in COVID-19 restrictions in multiple markets compared to the same period in the prior-year period and (iv) the impact of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenues from Russia and Ukraine represented approximately 9% of total revenue, similar to the 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Constant $ Adjusted revenue excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg decreased 10% as a 5% increase in Average Representative Sales was more than offset by a 15% decrease in Active Representatives.

Units sold decreased 13% (remaining stable 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.

COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Due to the uncertain and rapidly evolving nature of current conditions around the world, the impacts of COVID-19 most of which are beyond the Company’s control, continue to evolve, and the outcome is uncertain. We are therefore unable to predict accurately the impact that COVID-19 will have on our business going forward.

In 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in inflationary pressures on the cost of certain raw materials used in the production of essential items due to the increased demand for these inputs worldwide. These inflationary pressures have been compounded by disruptions in global supply chains and climate events that hit electricity generation globally, among others. Moreover, novel strains and variants of COVID-19 emerged in 2021 and the rollout of vaccination programs worldwide have compromised the ability of certain countries to effectively contain the spread and the toll of the virus.

We continue to monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets in which we operate, especially with regard to restrictive measures adopted by these jurisdictions. We continuously analyze the situation and act to minimize impacts on the operations and on the equity and financial position of the Company, with the objective of implementing appropriate measures, ensuring the continuity of operations, hedge cash, improve liquidity and promote the health and safety of all.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

In view of this scenario, we review the recoverability expectations of our financial and non-financial assets in the preparation of these financial statements, considering the most recent information available and reflected in the Company’s business plans. In addition, we also consider possible effects on the financial statements including revenues and the continued transition to the digital environment, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment of non-financial assets, leases, liquidity and capital resources and going concern.

As of the date of this report, we are unable to estimate the long-term economic impact arising from efforts to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the expected reduction in activity on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We will continue to review our revenue, investments, expenses and cash outflows, as well as adjusting our relationships with suppliers. Furthermore, the actions outlined above are continuously being re-evaluated in light of global developments relating to COVID-19.

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 2021 Annual Report.

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

In May 2020, the new leadership of Avon refreshed our strategy ("Open Up & Grow") which has aims to return Avon to growth over 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 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. 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.

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 MARCH 31, 2022 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

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, 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

27

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 CTI restructuring initiatives, which 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.

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. 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 consequence, 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 March 31, 2022

Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenue decreased 27%, unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange variations, primarily driven by the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Brazilian real, which was partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish lira, Russian ruble and the Argentinian peso.

On a Constant $ basis, Adjusted revenue decreased 22% driven by declines of 10% in Avon International and 33% in Avon Latin America, mostly as a result of (i) the sale of Avon Luxembourg on July 1, 2021, (ii) decreases in Active Representatives in most markets, (iii) the residual impact of changes in COVID-19 restrictions in multiple markets compared to the same period in the prior-year period and (iv) the impact of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenues from Russia and Ukraine represented approximately 9% of total revenue, similar to the 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Constant $ Adjusted revenue excluding the impact of the sale of Avon Luxembourg decreased 10% as a 5% increase in Average Representative Sales was more than offset by a 15% decrease in Active Representatives.

Units sold decreased 13% (remaining stable 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 530 basis points including the impact of lower restructuring expenses during the three month period ended March 31, 2022. Excluding these items, Adjusted operating margin decreased by 590 basis points, compared to the same period of 2021, 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 increased 80 basis points compared to the same period of 2021 largely due to the favorable impact of foreign currency movements.

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

SG&A as a percentage of total revenue increased by 610 basis points including the impact of increased restructuring expenses during the three month period ended March 31, 2022.

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 advertising expenses.

Other Expenses

Total interest income increased by approximately $2 and total interest expense increased by approximately $4 driven by higher loans from affiliates compared to the prior-year period.

Other income (expense), net, of approximately $5 represents a favorable impact of $6 compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily attributable to higher foreign exchange gains in the current period.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rates in 2022 and 2021 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 2022 and 2021 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 were (5.7)% and (11.5)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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 first quarter of 2022 was unfavorably impacted by the recording of valuation allowances of $3.1 and other miscellaneous net tax expense of $5.0. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2021 was unfavorably impacted by other miscellaneous income tax expense of approximately $2.4.

Our Adjusted effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were (7.8)% and (21.0)%, respectively. The Adjusted effective tax rates in 2022 and 2021 were impacted by country mix of earnings and withholding taxes. The Adjusted effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was unfavorably impacted by the recording of valuation allowances of $3.1 and other miscellaneous net tax expense of $5.0. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2021 was unfavorably impacted by other miscellaneous income tax expense of approximately $2.4.

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 March 31, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic is an example of negative evidence the Company must consider. As of March 31, 2022, 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.

We monitor the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a continuous basis. Should macroeconomic and sociopolitical conditions change or our business operations do not improve, approximately $75 of deferred tax assets could potentially need to be offset with the recording of a valuation allowance during the next 12 months. The deferred tax assets are associated with Avon subsidiary operations that suffered a loss in earnings before tax during 2021.

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 approximately $5, or approximately 100 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 $5 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 March 31, 2022

Total revenue decreased 18% compared to the prior-year period, including the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange which was primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Turkish lira and the Russian ruble. On a Constant $ basis, revenue decreased 10% driven by an increase in Average Representative Sales which was more than offset by a 18% decrease in Active Representatives across most markets in Europe, Middle East & Africa and Asia Pacific. The decrease in Revenue and Constant $ revenue was also due, in part, to the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia which affected revenues in this region.

Segment margin increased 130 basis points, or 200 on a Constant $ basis, driven by the combination of a slight decrease in the Constant $ Adjusted gross margin and higher SG&A as a percentage of total revenue.

Constant $ Adjusted gross margin decreased slightly as the favorable impact of price/mix was offset by 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 March 31, 2022

Total revenue and adjusted revenue decreased 34% compared to the prior-year period 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 33% 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 10% as increases in Average Representative Sales were more than offset by an 14% decrease in Active Representatives.

Revenue decreased in most markets driven by decreases in Active Representatives and the ongoing impact of COVID-19 restrictions in many countries.

Revenue in Brazil decreased 14% compared to the prior year period, favorably impacted by foreign exchange. On an Adjusted Constant $ basis, revenue decreased 19% primarily driven by a decrease in Active Representatives, continued impact of COVID-19 restrictions and changes in macro-economic conditions.

Segment margin decreased 1,360 basis points, or 1,330 basis points on a Constant $ Adjusted segment margin basis, was largely due to the impact of revenue decline causing deleverage of our fixed expenses.

Constant $ Adjusted gross margin increased slightly as the favorable impact of foreign currency movements 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 impact of revenue decline, causing a deleveraging of our fixed expenses, as well as increases in bad debts and advertising expenses, 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. See Note 15, Debt for information on our debt, including the loans from Natura &Co and its affiliates maturing within 1 year.

The Company has cash on hand of approximately $209 as of March 31, 2022.

COVID-19, Russia-Ukraine war and going concern

Considering the uncertain nature of any possible future COVID-19 impacts which are beyond the Company’s control and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, we expect some negative impact on revenue in 2022, 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.

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 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 includes the obligations related to the $462 5.00% Notes, which are due to be repaid in March 2023, and the amount of $209 outstanding under the Natura &Co Loan due to be repaid in November 2022.

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 "Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Financial Matters - 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," and "Risk Factors - General 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 2021 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.

Off balance sheet arrangements

At March 31, 2022, the Company has issued a number of guarantees totaling $201 that it could be required to make in the event of adverse judgments in a number of lawsuits in Brazil. See Note 7, Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for more information. The company has no other material off balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2022.

Cash Flows

Net Cash Used by Operating Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash used by operating activities of continuing operations during the first three months of 2022 was approximately $168 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of continuing operations of approximately $169 during the first three months of 2021, a decreased cash outflow of approximately $1. This was primarily driven by movements in working capital, partially offset by increased losses in the first three months of 2021.

Net Cash Used by Investing Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash used by continuing investing activities during the first three months of 2022 was approximately $11, as compared to net cash used by continuing investing activities of approximately $13 during the first three months of 2021. The approximate $2

decrease to net cash used by continuing investing activities was primarily driven by higher proceeds from the disposal of assets in the first three months of 2022 compared to the first three months of 2021.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities of Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by continuing financing activities during the first three months of 2022 was approximately $139, as compared to cash provided by continuing financing activities of $67 in the first three months of 2021. The approximate $72 increase to net cash from financing activities was primarily driven by proceeds of short term debt during the first three months of 2022.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Interest Rate Risk

Approximately 13% 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.

Such forward-looking statements are based on management's reasonable current assumptions, expectations, plans and forecasts regarding the Company's current or future results and future business and economic conditions more generally. Such forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievement of Avon to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from management's expectations. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as predictors of future events. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

As a result, we cannot reasonably estimate at this time the continued impact, that COVID-19 may have on our business or operations. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact including on financial markets or otherwise. 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 2021 Annual Report;
