DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2021
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to: expected sales returns; certain assumptions related to the valuation of acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets; income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities; and certain estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the net periodic benefit (income) costs and the projected benefit obligations for the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans, including the expected long-term return on pension plan assets and the discount rate used to value the Company’s pension benefit obligations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted CashCash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less.
Trade Receivables	Trade ReceivablesTrade receivables represent payments due to the Company for previously recognized net sales, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts for balances which are estimated to be uncollectible at period end. The Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers. Trade credit is extended based upon periodically updated evaluations of each customer's ability to perform its payment obligations. The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is based on standard cost and production variances, which approximates actual cost on the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, direct labor and direct overhead, as well as in-bound freight. The Company records adjustments to the value of its inventory based upon its forecasted plans to sell products included in inventory, as well as planned product discontinuances. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company's estimates and expectations.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets as follows: land improvements, 20 to 30 years; buildings and improvements, 5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 15 years; counters and trade fixtures, 3 to 5 years; office furniture and fixtures, 3 to 15 years; and capitalized software, 2 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements and building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or over the terms of the leases or remaining life of the original structure, whichever is shorter. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of operations as incurred, and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized. Counters and trade fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful life of the in-store counter and display related assets. The estimated useful life may be subject to change based upon declines in net sales and/or changes in merchandising programs. See Note 5, "Property, Plant and Equipment," for further discussion.
Other Assets	Included in other assets are permanent wall displays amounting to $64.3 million and $82.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are amortized generally over a period of 1 to 3 years. In the event of product discontinuances, from time-to-time, the Company may accelerate the amortization of related permanent wall displays based on the estimated remaining useful life of the asset.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows (excluding interest) resulting from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing CostsThe Company capitalizes financing costs and amortizes such costs over the terms of the related debt instruments using the effective-interest method.
Leases	Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception, considering whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, recorded within “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and operating lease liabilities are recorded within either "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and/or "Other long-term liabilities" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in ROU assets recorded within “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and finance lease liabilities are recorded within either "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and/or "Other long-term liabilities" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, given their immateriality. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide the lease implicit rates, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rates as the discount rate, adjusted as applicable, based on the information available at the lease commencement dates to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company may use the lease implicit rate, when readily determinable, as the discount rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. At lease commencement, for initial measurement, variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, if any, are excluded from lease payments. Subsequent to initial measurement, these variable payments are recognized when the event determining the amount of the variable consideration to be paid occurs. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not included in the lease liability or ROU asset. The Company’s ROU assets for operating or finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess purchase price for businesses acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather it is reviewed annually for impairment at the reporting unit level using October 1st carrying values, or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s carrying amount may not be recovered. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” the Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year. The Company also reviews goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its goodwill may not be recoverable. After the close of each interim quarter, management assesses whether there exists any indicators of impairment requiring the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. In performing its goodwill impairment assessments, the Company uses the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." Following the results of such assessments, the Company records non-cash impairment charges in the amount by which the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective fair value, limited to the amount of each reporting unit's goodwill. Impairment charges are included as a separate component of operating income within the "Impairment charges" caption on the face of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the applicable quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods. For 2021, in assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2021 using October 1st, 2021 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and a quantitative assessment for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin & Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Professional Portfolio and (iv) Fragrances reporting units. The Mass Portfolio reporting unit's goodwill was written down to nil during the first quarter of 2020. In performing its 2021 annual qualitative goodwill assessment, the Company considered, among other factors, the financial performance of the Revlon reporting unit, expected future cash flows and the results of previous quantitative assessments of the Revlon reporting unit. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its Revlon reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount for 2021. In performing its 2021 quantitative goodwill assessments, the Company used the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04 to test its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Professional Portfolio and (iv) Fragrances reporting units for impairment. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of such aforementioned reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for 2021. During 2020, the Company performed interim goodwill impairment analyses during the first, second and third quarters of the year, which resulted in the recognition of $99.8 million and $11.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges in the first and second quarter of 2020, respectively, as further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net". In assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2020 using October 1, 2020 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and quantitative assessments for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio reporting units. As further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill", the Mass Portfolio reporting unit no longer has any goodwill associated with it starting from the second quarter of 2020.
Intangible Assets, Net	Intangible Assets, net Intangible Assets, net, include trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, patents and internally developed intellectual property ("IP") and acquired licenses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of certain trade names, are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter using October 1st carrying values similar to goodwill, in accordance with ASC 350, and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of its intangible assets exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company writes off the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for intangible assets in the year in which the asset becomes fully amortized. Finite-lived intangible assets are considered for impairment under ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"), upon the occurrence of certain "triggering events" and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group exceeds the Company's estimate of the asset group's undiscounted future cash flows.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns, Costs of Sales, and Distribution Costs	Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns The Company follows ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". In accordance with the guidance, the Company's policy is to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects that it will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers. The Company's policy is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues from sales of products less expected product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions and coupons. The Company allows customers to return their unsold products if and when they meet certain Company-established criteria as set forth in the Company's trade terms. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, its estimates of sales returns based primarily upon the historical rate of actual product returns, planned product discontinuances, new product launches and estimates of customer inventory and promotional sales. For returned products that the Company expects to resell at a profit, the Company records, in addition to sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales and an increase to accrued liabilities for the amount expected to be refunded to the customer, an increase to the asset account used to reflect the Company's right to recover products. The amount of the asset account is valued based upon the former carrying amount of the product (i.e., inventory), less any expected costs to recover the products. As the estimated product returns that are expected to be resold at a profit do not comprise a significant amount of the Company's net sales or assets, the Company does not separately report these amounts. The Company's revenues are also net of certain marketing arrangements with its retail customers. Pursuant to its trade terms with these retail customers, the Company reimburses them for a portion of their advertising costs, which provide advertising benefits to the Company. These arrangements are in the form of marketing development funds and/or cooperative advertising programs and are used by the Company to drive sales. The advertising programs follow an annual schedule of planned events that is continually updated based on the Company's perceived needs and contractual terms. As these marketing expenditures cannot be directly linked to product sales, the Company records these expenses as a reduction of revenue at the higher of actual spend or estimated costs based on a reserve rate methodology. In limited instances when products are sold under consignment arrangements, the Company does not recognize revenue until control over such products has transferred to the end consumer. Other revenues, primarily royalties, do not comprise a material amount of the Company's net sales. The Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue. See Note 16, "Segment Data and Related Information," for additional disclosures related to ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes all of the costs to manufacture the Company's products. For products manufactured in the Company's own facilities, such costs include raw materials and supplies, direct labor and factory overhead. For products manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such cost represents the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Cost of sales also includes the cost of refurbishing products returned by customers that will be offered for resale and the cost of inventory write-downs associated with adjustments of held inventories to their net realizable value. These costs are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income when the product is sold and net sales revenues are recognized or, in the case of inventory write-downs, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories is in excess of their recoverable value. Additionally, cost of sales reflects the costs associated with certain free products included as sales and promotional incentives. These incentive costs are recognized at the same time that the Company recognizes the related revenue. Distribution CostsCosts associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs, are recorded within SG&A expenses when incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses	Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses include expenses to advertise the Company's products, such as television advertising production costs and air-time costs, print advertising costs, digital marketing costs, promotional displays and consumer promotions. SG&A expenses also include the amortization of permanent wall displays and finite-lived intangible assets, depreciation of certain fixed assets, distribution costs (such as freight and handling), non-manufacturing overhead (principally personnel and related expenses), selling and trade educations fees, insurance and professional service fees.
Advertising	Advertising Advertising within SG&A expenses includes television, print, digital marketing and other advertising production costs that are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. The costs of promotional displays are expensed in the period in which they are shipped to customers. Advertising expenses were $388.6 million and $332.1 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively, which were included in SG&A expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company also has various arrangements with customers pursuant to its trade terms to reimburse them for a portion of their advertising costs, which provide advertising benefits to the Company. Additionally, from time-to-time, the Company may pay fees to customers in order to expand or maintain shelf space for its products. The costs that the Company incurs for "cooperative" advertising programs, end cap placement, shelf placement costs, slotting fees and marketing development funds, if any, are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a reduction within net sales.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets when management determines that it was more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when management determines that it was more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the merits of such position. The Company recognizes liabilities for unrecognized tax positions in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on an estimate of whether and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts is ultimately not required, the reversal of the liabilities would result in additional tax benefits recognized in the period in which the Company determines that the liabilities are no longer required. If the estimate of tax liabilities is ultimately less than the final assessment, this will result in a further charge to expense. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Research and Development	Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenditures are expensed as incurred and included within SG&A expenses.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during each period presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and branches operating in non-hyperinflationary economies are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until either the sale or upon the complete or substantially complete liquidation by the Company of its investment in a foreign entity. To the extent that foreign subsidiaries and branches operate in hyperinflationary economies, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and translation adjustments are included in the Company's results of operations.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share and Classes of Stock	Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share and Classes of Stock Shares used in basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares used in diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units ("RSUs") issued under the Stock Plan using the treasury stock method. (See Note 17, "Revlon, Inc. Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share").
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for its restricted stock and restricted stock units, measured at the fair value of each award at the time of grant, as an expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service. Upon the vesting of restricted stock and RSUs, any resulting tax benefits are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income as the awards vest or are settled. The Company reflects such excess tax benefits as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company accounts for forfeitures as a reduction of compensation cost in the period when such forfeitures occur.
Recently Evaluated and/or Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Evaluated and/or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocations, calculating income taxes in interim periods and how a company accounts for future events. This ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any significant impacts on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 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." The new guidance under ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, that ASU No. 2020-04 is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which was subsequently amended in November 2018 through ASU No. 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." ASU No. 2016-13 will require entities to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for trade and other receivables, net investments in leases, financing receivables, debt securities and other instruments, which will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. Further, the new credit loss model will affect how entities in all industries estimate their allowance for losses for receivables that are current with respect to their payment terms. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which, among other things, deferred the application of the new guidance on credit losses for smaller reporting companies ("SRC") to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., a modified-retrospective approach). The Company made an initial assessment of the impact of the new credit loss model and does not expect a material impact as the majority of the receivables are short-term. The Company will continue to assess the impact that this new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include, but are not limited to: expected sales returns; certain assumptions related to the valuation of acquired intangible and long-lived assets and the recoverability of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets; income taxes, including deferred tax valuation allowances and reserves for estimated tax liabilities; and certain estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the net periodic benefit (income) costs and the projected benefit obligations for the Company’s pension and other post-retirement plans, including the expected long-term return on pension plan assets and the discount rate used to value the Company’s pension benefit obligations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted CashCash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less.

Trade Receivables

Trade ReceivablesTrade receivables represent payments due to the Company for previously recognized net sales, reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts for balances which are estimated to be uncollectible at period end. The Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers. Trade credit is extended based upon periodically updated evaluations of each customer's ability to perform its payment obligations. The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is based on standard cost and production variances, which approximates actual cost on the first-in, first-out method. Cost components include direct materials, direct labor and direct overhead, as well as in-bound freight. The Company records adjustments to the value of its inventory based upon its forecasted plans to sell products included in inventory, as well as planned product discontinuances. The physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories is also considered in establishing its valuation. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from the amounts that the Company may ultimately realize upon the disposition of inventories if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels, product discontinuances, sales return levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company's estimates and expectations.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets as follows: land improvements, 20 to 30 years; buildings and improvements, 5 to 50 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 15 years; counters and trade fixtures, 3 to 5 years; office furniture and fixtures, 3 to 15 years; and capitalized software, 2 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements and building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or over the terms of the leases or remaining life of the original structure, whichever is shorter. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of operations as incurred, and expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized. Counters and trade fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful life of the in-store counter and display related assets. The estimated useful life may be subject to change based upon declines in net sales and/or changes in merchandising programs. See Note 5, "Property, Plant and Equipment," for further discussion.

Other Assets

Included in other assets are permanent wall displays amounting to $64.3 million and $82.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are amortized generally over a period of 1 to 3 years. In the event of product discontinuances, from time-to-time, the Company may accelerate the amortization of related permanent wall displays based on the estimated remaining useful life of the asset.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows (excluding interest) resulting from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing CostsThe Company capitalizes financing costs and amortizes such costs over the terms of the related debt instruments using the effective-interest method.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception, considering whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, recorded within “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and operating lease liabilities are recorded within either "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and/or "Other long-term liabilities" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in ROU assets recorded within “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and finance lease liabilities are recorded within either "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and/or "Other long-term liabilities" in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, given their immateriality.

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide the lease implicit rates, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rates as the discount rate, adjusted as applicable, based on the information available at the lease commencement dates to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company may use the lease implicit rate, when readily determinable, as the discount rate to determine the present value of lease payments.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term.

At lease commencement, for initial measurement, variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, if any, are excluded from lease payments. Subsequent to initial measurement, these variable payments are recognized when the event determining the amount of the variable consideration to be paid occurs. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not included in the lease liability or ROU asset.

The Company’s ROU assets for operating or finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price for businesses acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather it is reviewed annually for impairment at the reporting unit level using October 1st carrying values, or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company’s carrying amount may not be recovered.

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” the Company performs its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year. The Company also reviews goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its goodwill may not be recoverable. After the close of each interim quarter, management assesses whether there exists any indicators of impairment requiring the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis.

In performing its goodwill impairment assessments, the Company uses the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." Following the results of such assessments, the Company records non-cash impairment charges in the amount by which the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective fair value, limited to the amount of each reporting unit's goodwill. Impairment charges are included as a separate component of operating income within the "Impairment charges" caption on the face of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the applicable quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods.

For 2021, in assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2021 using October 1st, 2021 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and a quantitative assessment for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin & Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Professional Portfolio and (iv) Fragrances reporting units. The Mass Portfolio reporting unit's goodwill was written down to nil during the first quarter of 2020.

In performing its 2021 annual qualitative goodwill assessment, the Company considered, among other factors, the financial performance of the Revlon reporting unit, expected future cash flows and the results of previous quantitative assessments of the Revlon reporting unit. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its Revlon reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount for 2021.

In performing its 2021 quantitative goodwill assessments, the Company used the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04 to test its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Professional Portfolio and (iv) Fragrances reporting units for impairment. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of such aforementioned reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for 2021.

During 2020, the Company performed interim goodwill impairment analyses during the first, second and third quarters of the year, which resulted in the recognition of $99.8 million and $11.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges in the first and second quarter of 2020, respectively, as further specified in Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net".

In assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2020 using October 1, 2020 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and quantitative assessments for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio reporting units. As further specified in Note 6,

"Goodwill", the Mass Portfolio reporting unit no longer has any goodwill associated with it starting from the second quarter of 2020.

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible Assets, net

Intangible Assets, net, include trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, patents and internally developed intellectual property ("IP") and acquired licenses.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of certain trade names, are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter using October 1st carrying values similar to goodwill, in accordance with ASC 350, and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of its intangible assets exceeds its fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The Company writes off the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for intangible assets in the year in which the asset becomes fully amortized.

Finite-lived intangible assets are considered for impairment under ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"), upon the occurrence of certain "triggering events" and the Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group exceeds the Company's estimate of the asset group's undiscounted future cash flows.

Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns, Costs of Sales, and Distribution Costs

Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns

The Company follows ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". In accordance with the guidance, the Company's policy is to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects that it will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers. The Company's policy is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues from sales of products less expected product returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions and coupons.

The Company allows customers to return their unsold products if and when they meet certain Company-established criteria as set forth in the Company's trade terms. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, its estimates of sales returns based primarily upon the historical rate of actual product returns, planned product discontinuances, new product launches and estimates of customer inventory and promotional sales. For returned products that the Company expects to resell at a profit, the Company records, in addition to sales returns as a reduction to sales and cost of sales and an increase to accrued liabilities for the amount expected to be refunded to the customer, an increase to the asset account used to reflect the Company's right to recover products. The amount of the asset account is valued based upon the former carrying amount of the product (i.e., inventory), less any expected costs to recover the products. As the estimated product returns that are expected to be resold at a profit do not comprise a significant amount of the Company's net sales or assets, the Company does not separately report these amounts.

The Company's revenues are also net of certain marketing arrangements with its retail customers. Pursuant to its trade terms with these retail customers, the Company reimburses them for a portion of their advertising costs, which provide advertising benefits to the Company. These arrangements are in the form of marketing development funds and/or cooperative advertising programs and are used by the Company to drive sales. The advertising programs follow an annual schedule of

planned events that is continually updated based on the Company's perceived needs and contractual terms. As these marketing expenditures cannot be directly linked to product sales, the Company records these expenses as a reduction of revenue at the higher of actual spend or estimated costs based on a reserve rate methodology. In limited instances when products are sold under consignment arrangements, the Company does not recognize revenue until control over such products has transferred to the end consumer. Other revenues, primarily royalties, do not comprise a material amount of the Company's net sales.

The Company incurs costs associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs. The Company has elected to treat these costs as fulfillment activities and recognizes these costs at the same time that it recognizes the underlying product revenue.

See Note 16, "Segment Data and Related Information," for additional disclosures related to ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes all of the costs to manufacture the Company's products. For products manufactured in the Company's own facilities, such costs include raw materials and supplies, direct labor and factory overhead. For products manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such cost represents the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Cost of sales also includes the cost of refurbishing products returned by customers that will be offered for resale and the cost of inventory write-downs associated with adjustments of held inventories to their net realizable value. These costs are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income when the product is sold and net sales revenues are recognized or, in the case of inventory write-downs, when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories is in excess of their recoverable value. Additionally, cost of sales reflects the costs associated with certain free products included as sales and promotional incentives. These incentive costs are recognized at the same time that the Company recognizes the related revenue.

Distribution CostsCosts associated with product distribution, such as freight and handling costs, are recorded within SG&A expenses when incurred.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses include expenses to advertise the Company's products, such as television advertising production costs and air-time costs, print advertising costs, digital marketing costs, promotional displays and consumer promotions. SG&A expenses also include the amortization of permanent wall displays and finite-lived intangible assets, depreciation of certain fixed assets, distribution costs (such as freight and handling), non-manufacturing overhead (principally personnel and related expenses), selling and trade educations fees, insurance and professional service fees.

Advertising

Advertising within SG&A expenses includes television, print, digital marketing and other advertising production costs that are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. The costs of promotional displays are expensed in the period in which they are shipped to customers. Advertising expenses were $388.6 million and $332.1 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively, which were included in SG&A expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The Company also has various arrangements with customers pursuant to its trade terms to reimburse them for a portion of their advertising costs, which provide advertising benefits to the Company. Additionally, from time-to-time, the Company may pay fees to customers in order to expand or maintain shelf space for its products. The costs that the Company incurs for "cooperative" advertising programs, end cap placement, shelf placement costs, slotting fees and marketing development funds, if any, are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a reduction within net sales.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred tax assets when management determines that it was more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when management determines that it was more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the merits of such position. The Company recognizes liabilities for unrecognized tax positions in the U.S. and other tax

jurisdictions based on an estimate of whether and the extent to which additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts is ultimately not required, the reversal of the liabilities would result in additional tax benefits recognized in the period in which the Company determines that the liabilities are no longer required. If the estimate of tax liabilities is ultimately less than the final assessment, this will result in a further charge to expense. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Research and Development

Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenditures are expensed as incurred and included within SG&A expenses.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates prevailing during each period presented. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and branches operating in non-hyperinflationary economies are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until either the sale or upon the complete or substantially complete liquidation by the Company of its investment in a foreign entity. To the extent that foreign subsidiaries and branches operate in hyperinflationary economies, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and translation adjustments are included in the Company's results of operations.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share and Classes of Stock

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share and Classes of Stock

Shares used in basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares used in diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units ("RSUs") issued under the Stock Plan using the treasury stock method. (See Note 17, "Revlon, Inc. Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share").

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for its restricted stock and restricted stock units, measured at the fair value of each award at the time of grant, as an expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service. Upon the vesting of restricted stock and RSUs, any resulting tax benefits are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income as the awards vest or are settled. The Company reflects such excess tax benefits as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company accounts for forfeitures as a reduction of compensation cost in the period when such forfeitures occur.

Recently Evaluated and/or Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Evaluated and/or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocations, calculating income taxes in interim periods and how a company accounts for future events. This ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this new

guidance did not have any significant impacts on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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." The new guidance under ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, that ASU No. 2020-04 is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which was subsequently amended in November 2018 through ASU No. 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." ASU No. 2016-13 will require entities to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for trade and other receivables, net investments in leases, financing receivables, debt securities and other instruments, which will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. Further, the new credit loss model will affect how entities in all industries estimate their allowance for losses for receivables that are current with respect to their payment terms. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which, among other things, deferred the application of the new guidance on credit losses for smaller reporting companies ("SRC") to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., a modified-retrospective approach). The Company made an initial assessment of the impact of the new credit loss model and does not expect a material impact as the majority of the receivables are short-term. The Company will continue to assess the impact that this new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
