Coty Inc (COTY) Earnings: Q1 Fiscal 2027 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Coty published the results on November 4, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q1 fiscal 2026, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Coty reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Coty's fiscal year ends June 30, so Q1 fiscal 2027 is the quarter to September 30, 2026.
• Net income and EPS are attributable to common stockholders, after $3.3 million of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock dividends.
• Coty agreed on July 7, 2026 to hand the Gucci Beauty license back to Kering about a year early. It will keep operating the brand through at least June 30, 2027.

How Coty splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q1 fiscal 2027 against Q1 fiscal 2026. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Coty's Prestige revenue was $1.1 billion in Q1 fiscal 2027, down 1% from $1.1 billion in Q1 fiscal 2026, 68% of total revenue.
• Coty's Consumer Beauty revenue was $497 million in Q1 fiscal 2027, down 2% from $508 million in Q1 fiscal 2026, 32% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

From the earnings release

Coty is giving guidance for one quarter only while its strategic review runs. It expects to give a broader outlook after the review ends, which it plans for the end of calendar 2026.

In its Q1 fiscal 2027 release, Coty said:

“Coty expects 2Q27 LFL revenue to decline by a low-single-digit percentage, broadly consistent with the last two quarters.”

“Coty anticipates Q2 adjusted EBITDA to decline by a high-single-digit percentage, consistent with the trends in Q1.”

“This is expected to result in adjusted EPS, excluding the equity swap, of $0.16 to $0.18 per share.”

“Supported by the seasonally strong business dynamics in the first half, as well as continued disciplined capital expenditure and working capital management, Coty continues to expect free cash flow for the first half of FY27 of over $300 million.”

Coty's next report is scheduled for February 4, 2027. This page will show Q1 fiscal 2027 until those results are out and have been checked against the release.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

• Q1 fiscal 2027 (this page), reported Nov 4, 2026

Fragrance is the largest part of Coty's revenue: it was 69.5% of net revenues in Q1 fiscal 2027, color cosmetics 22.6%, body care and other 5.0% and skincare 2.9%. By segment, Prestige brought in $1,058.4 million, 68% of the $1,555.2 million total, and Consumer Beauty $496.8 million, 32%. (Coty Form 10-Q, Q1 FY27, Nov 5, 2026; Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Coty's net revenue fell 1% as reported and 2% like-for-like. Coty said Prestige declined on a moderate decline in Prestige fragrance and skin care, partly offset by growth in Prestige cosmetics. Its Top 6 core Prestige brands (Hugo Boss, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Chloé and Kylie Cosmetics) made up 73% of Prestige sales and grew 5% like-for-like. Consumer Beauty fell 3% like-for-like on lower color cosmetics and mass fragrance sales, partly offset by mass body care. (Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026)

By region, Coty's EMEA net revenues fell 6% to $710.0 million on lower sales in the Middle East and Europe. The Americas rose 1% to $653.0 million on higher sales in Brazil, and Asia Pacific rose 11% to $192.2 million on China, Southeast Asia and Asia Travel Retail. In fiscal 2026 no retailer accounted for more than 10% of global net revenues. (Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026; Coty Form 10-K, fiscal 2026, Aug 20, 2026)

Much of Coty's Prestige business runs on licensed brands. In July 2026 it agreed to transition the Gucci Beauty license back to Kering for aggregate consideration of about $400.0 million, $250.0 million of it received at signing and held as deferred income until the license ends. In Q1 fiscal 2027 it extended the Marc Jacobs license to a 40-year duration. (Coty Form 10-Q, Q1 FY27, Nov 5, 2026; Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Coty's reported diluted EPS was $0.12 in Q1 fiscal 2027 and its adjusted EPS $0.16. Adjusted operating income adds back $50.1 million: amortization of $33.6 million, restructuring and business realignment costs of $8.1 million, stock-based compensation of $7.2 million and $1.2 million of brand exit and early license termination costs. (Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Both EPS figures include the mark-to-market on Coty's equity swap: a $14.8 million benefit in Q1 fiscal 2027, against a $26.5 million negative impact a year earlier. Coty puts the effect on adjusted EPS at $0.01 of help, against $0.03 of hurt in the prior-year quarter, and its Q2 EPS guidance excludes the swap. (Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Net interest expense fell to $31.2 million from $46.6 million, and the effective tax rate was 28.6%, against 30.9%, above the 21% federal rate mainly because of limits on deducting interest. Diluted weighted average shares were 882.7 million. Gross margin fell 120 basis points to 63.3% on higher freight and material costs related to the Middle East conflict and higher excess and obsolescence. (Coty Form 10-Q, Q1 FY27, Nov 5, 2026; Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Coty is guiding one quarter at a time during what it calls a transition year. For Q2 fiscal 2027 it expects like-for-like revenue to decline by a low-single-digit percentage, a low-single-digit currency headwind to reported revenue, adjusted EBITDA down by a high-single-digit percentage and adjusted EPS, excluding the equity swap, of $0.16 to $0.18. It expects free cash flow of over $300 million for the first half of fiscal 2027. (Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026)

Coty said it remains committed to completing its strategic review by the end of calendar 2026 and expects to give a broader outlook after that. (Coty Q1 FY27 release, Nov 4, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Coty, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Coty's own release and filings put weight on for Q1 fiscal 2027, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning COTY is on is COTY a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the COTY forecast, and what the company does is on the Coty Inc (COTY) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Coty published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
