The company’s EPS for the quarter improved to $0.23 from a loss of $0.05 to a share a year earlier.

Coty CEO Sue Nabi said: “With our H1 2022 now complete, I am very pleased to say that the year is shaping up as we had hoped, and in many respects even better.

“During the quarter, we continued to execute on our strategic growth pillars, allowing us to deliver sales, profit and leverage results inline or ahead of guidance for the sixth consecutive quarter.

“The second quarter, and even more so the first half, further illustrates the virtuous cycle we have created.

“Strong topline growth combined with gross margin expansion and strong cost execution are generating both profit growth and re-investment in the business in the most promising opportunities.”

In view of these results, Coty expects its full-year sales to grow towards the higher end of its guidance range of the low-to-mid teens.

The company has increased its adjusted EPS guidance for the year to between $0.22 and 0.26, up from the previously expected range of between $0.20 and 0.24.
