Dear Shareholders:

2000 was a year of transition at Revlon. We made fundamental changes in every
element of our business with the end consumer in mind. In short, we began building
a New Revlon.

Revlon’s redirection began with three guiding principals:
1. Bring more innovation to everything we do, particularly in delivering exciting

new products to market quickly.

2. Build a stronger financial base by focusing on cash flow, operating at

3.

competitive margins and balancing market share and profitability.
Improve communication with our consumers through better advertising,
packaging and point of sale presentation.

Guided by these principles our new leadership team focused the best people in
the Company on building a turnaround plan from the ground up. We challenged
everything. We determined what made sense and what did not. The result was a
comprehensive strategic plan that we are now implementing. The six key initiatives of
this plan are:

• New Product Launches

Innovation has been re-ignited and we have produced the most robust
line-up of new products since ColorStay Lipstick in the mid 1990’s. During
2000, we began the development of four major new product platforms. Our
first, Revlon Skinlights began shipping in December. Skinlights is an entirely
new category of skin brighteners; and the initial response by our consumers
and our trade partners has been very positive. The other three major new
lines include: Absolutely Fabulous Lipcream, a new premium line of emollient
rich lip color; Almay Kinetin Skincare Advanced Anti-Aging Series featuring
Kinetin, a plant growth factor found in green leafy plants; and Revlon High
Dimension Haircolor, a revolutionary 10-minute home haircolor.

• New Trade Terms in the United States

We redefined our partnership with the retail trade in order to focus on
increased consumption and eliminating inefficiencies in the supply chain.
The terms align Revlon and trade partner priorities and create incentives
beneficial to both of us. We believe that the successful implementation of
this ‘‘go to market strategy’’ will yield significant cost savings to Revlon and
increase our ability to support new growth initiatives.

• SG&A Expense Reductions

We reduced the overhead component of Selling, General and Administrative
expenses by $66 million or 16% during 2000. This reflects significant new
efficiencies in priority setting and process simplification throughout Revlon.
Fewer people are working extremely hard on the things that will make Revlon
a healthier company. We intend to continue to reduce SG&A and invest the
savings back into our business.
• Manufacturing Capacity

In November 2000, we announced the planned consolidation of our North
America cosmetics manufacturing to our Oxford, North Carolina facility and
planned shutdown of facilities in Phoenix, Arizona; Auckland, New Zealand;
and Mississuaga, Ontario, Canada. This consolidation will more effectively
utilize our production capacity and will result in expected annualized savings
of $25 million to $30 million. We continue to explore the most efficient ways
to manufacture, utilizing both in-house and outside resources.

• New Advertising

Our advertising needed new energy and a new way to connect emotionally
with our target consumers. During 2000, we began the process of selecting
new advertising partners and we now have two of the most dynamic and
successful agencies working with us: kirshenbaum bond & partners for
Revlon and Deutsch Inc. for Almay.

• Aligning Employee and Shareholder Interests

We have taken a more focused approach to aligning employee and share-
holder interests. This requires a better balance between market share, top
line growth and profitability. We are implementing programs that will deliver
rewards to employees who significantly drive results and enhance share-
holder value.

• The Year Ahead

Successful execution of our strategic plan calls for a high degree of focus
and alignment behind specific priorities throughout the entire organization. I
believe that Revlon is doing just that. Having laid a solid foundation for our
turnaround in 2000, we now must focus our attention on continued execu-
tion and implementation of our initiatives.

We expect that 2001 will be an important year as our turnaround continues
to gain traction. Overall, we expect a continuous flow of innovative new
products, fresh and aggressive advertising and marketing campaigns, con-
tinued reductions in SG&A, increased efficiencies in manufacturing, improve-
ments in financial results and mutually profitable relationships with our trade
partners. We believe that our performance in 2001 will lead to enhanced
shareholder value and will demonstrate the soundness of our turnaround
strategy and the underlying strengths of Revlon.

We are committed to the continued development of Revlon and look forward
to a strong 2001 and beyond.

Item 1. Description of Business 

Background 

Part I 

Revlon, Inc. (and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) conducts its business exclusively through 
its  direct  subsidiary,  Revlon  Consumer  Products  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  (“Products  Corporation”).  The 
Company  manufactures,  markets  and  sells  an  extensive  array  of  cosmetics  and  skin  care,  fragrances  and  personal 
care  products.    Revlon is one of the world's best known names in cosmetics and is a leading mass market cosmetics 
brand. The Company believes that its global brand name recognition, product quality and marketing experience have 
enabled it to create one of the strongest consumer brand franchises in the world, with products sold worldwide.  The 
Company's products are marketed under such well-known brand names as Revlon, ColorStay, Revlon Age Defying, 
Almay and Ultima in cosmetics; Moon Drops, Eterna 27, Ultima and Jeanne Gatineau in skin care; Charlie and 
Fire  &  Ice  in  fragrances;  and  Flex,  Outrageous,  Mitchum,  ColorStay,  Colorsilk,  Jean  Naté,  Bozzano  and 
Colorama in personal care products.  To further strengthen its consumer brand franchises, the Company markets each 
core brand with a distinct and uniform global image, including packaging and advertising, while retaining the flexibility 
to tailor products to local and regional preferences. 

The Company was founded by Charles Revson, who revolutionized the cosmetics industry by introducing nail 
enamels matched to lipsticks in fashion colors over 65 years ago. Today, the Company has leading market positions in 
many of its principal product categories in the United States self-select distribution channel.  The Company's leading 
market positions for its Revlon brand products include the number one positions in lip makeup and nail enamel (which 
the Company has occupied for the past 24 years). The Company also has leading market positions in several product 
categories  in  certain  markets  outside  of  the  United  States,  including  in  Australia,  Brazil,  Canada,  Mexico  and  South 
Africa. 

All United States market share and market position data herein for the Company’s brands are based upon retail 
dollar sales, which are derived from ACNielsen data.  ACNielsen measures retail sales volume of products sold in the 
United States self-select distribution channel.  Such data represent ACNielsen’s estimates based upon data gathered by 
ACNielsen from market samples and are therefore subject to some degree of variance. 

Recent Developments 

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2000,  the  Company  shutdown  its  manufacturing  operations  in  Mississauga, 
Canada and began closing its facility in Phoenix, Arizona, which is expected to be substantially completed by June 
2001.  The Company will shift production from these facilities to its Oxford, North Carolina facility.  The Company 
also  announced  the  shutdown  of  its  facility  in  New  Zealand  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2000,  and  consolidated  such 
operations into the Company’s facility in Australia.  The Company estimates that the costs of closing these facilities 
and relocating manufacturing will result in charges of $55 million to $60 million.  These costs principally include 
compensation  and  related  costs,  relocation  costs  and  write-downs  of  assets.    Net  cash  expenditures  (after  the 
proceeds from the sale of assets) are estimated to be $30 million to $35 million.  The Company expects that these 
planned actions, when fully implemented, will result in annual savings of $25 million to $30 million. 

In October 2000, the Company announced changes in the way it goes to market with its U.S. retail partners 
designed  to  increase  consumption  of  the  Company's  products  and  drive  market  growth.    The  new  terms  of  trade 
became effective January 1, 2001, with a transition during the fourth quarter of 2000.  They include increased in-
store  coverage,  incentives  for  retailers  intended  to  encourage  more  efficient  ordering  and  shipping  and  to  lower 
merchandise return rates and rewards for increased consumer sell-through. 

In January 2001 (effective December 31, 2000), Products Corporation and its bank lenders entered into an 
amendment to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), to (i) eliminate the interest coverage ratio and leverage 
ratio  covenants  for  2001;  (ii)  add  a  minimum  cumulative  EBITDA  covenant  for  each  quarter  end  during  the  year 
2001;  (iii)  modify  the  definition  of  EBITDA  beginning  with  the  quarterly  period  ended  December  31,  2000;  (iv) 
limit  the  amount  that  Products  Corporation  may  spend  for  capital  expenditures;  (v)  permit  the  sale  of  certain  of 
Products  Corporation's  non-core  assets;  (vi)  permit  Products  Corporation  to  retain  100%  of  the  Net  Proceeds  (as 

2 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
defined  in  the  Credit  Agreement)  from  such  asset  sales;  (vii)  increase  the  "applicable  margin"  by  1/2  of  1%;  and 
(viii) require Products Corporation to provide a mortgage on its facility in Oxford, North Carolina as security for its 
obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Company's nail color and nail care lines include enamels, cuticle preparations and enamel removers. The

allergenic product." Almay products include lip makeup, nail color, eye and face makeup and skin care products. In

Personal  Care  Products.     The  Company  sells  a  broad  line  of  personal  care  consumer  products,  which 
complements its core cosmetics lines and enables the Company to meet the consumer's broader beauty care needs. In the 
self-select distribution channel, the Company sells haircare, antiperspirant and other personal care products, including 
the Flex, Outrageous and Aquamarine haircare lines throughout the world and the Colorama, Bozzano, and Juvena 
brands in Brazil; as well as ColorStay, Colorsilk, Revlon Shadings and Frost & Glow hair coloring lines throughout 
most of the world; and the Mitchum, Lady Mitchum and Hi & Dri antiperspirant brands throughout the world. The 
Company also markets hypo-allergenic personal care products, including sunscreens, moisturizers and antiperspirants, 
under the Almay brand.  

Fragrances. The  Company  sells  a  selection  of  moderately-priced  and  premium-priced  fragrances,  including 
perfumes, eau de toilettes and colognes. The Company's portfolio includes fragrances such as Charlie, Ciara and line 
extensions such as Charlie Red and Charlie White. In international markets, the Company distributes certain licensed 
brands, including Van Gils. 

Marketing  

The  Company  markets  extensive  consumer  product  lines  at  a  range  of  retail  prices  primarily  through  the 
self-select  distribution  channel  and  markets  select  premium  lines  through  demonstrator-assisted  channels,  principally 
outside  the  U.S.  Each  line  is  distinctively  positioned  and  is  marketed  globally  with  consistently  recognizable  logos, 
packaging  and  advertising.  The  Company's  existing  product  lines  are  carefully  segmented,  and  new  product  lines  are 
developed, to target specific consumer needs as measured by focus groups and other market research techniques. 

The  Company  undertook  a  comprehensive  review  of  its  advertising  strategy  in  late  2000  and  early  2001 
resulting  in  its  selection  of  Kirshenbaum  Bond  &  Partners  and  Deutsch  Inc.  to  serve  as  its  advertising  agency  for 
creative  work  for  its  Revlon  and  Almay  brands,  respectively,  worldwide.    This  is  a  major  shift  in  the  Company's 
advertising strategy.  The Company believes that this shift to leading outside agencies will increase the effectiveness 
and relevance of its worldwide advertising, as well as result in more efficient media placement. 

The  Company  uses  print  and  television  advertising  and  point-of-sale  merchandising,  including  displays  and 
samples.  The  Company's  marketing  emphasizes  a  uniform  global  image  and  product  for  its  portfolio  of  core  brands, 
including  Revlon,  ColorStay,  Revlon  Age  Defying,  Almay,  Ultima,  Flex,  Charlie,  and  Mitchum. The  Company 
coordinates  advertising  campaigns  with  in-store  promotional  and  other  marketing  activities.  The  Company  develops 
jointly  with  retailers  carefully  tailored  advertising,  point-of-purchase  and  other  focused  marketing  programs.  The 
Company uses network and spot television advertising, national cable advertising and print advertising in major general 
interest,  women's  fashion  and  women's  service  magazines,  as  well  as  coupons,  magazine  inserts  and  point-of-sale 
testers. The Company also uses cooperative advertising programs with some retailers, supported by Company-paid or 
Company-subsidized demonstrators, and coordinated in-store promotions and displays. 

The  Company  also  has  developed  unique  marketing  materials  such  as  the  "Revlon  Report,"  a  glossy,  color 
pamphlet distributed in magazines and on merchandising units worldwide, which highlights seasonal and other fashion 
and color trends, describes the Company's products that address those trends and contains coupons, rebate offers and 
other promotional material to encourage consumers to try the Company's products. Other marketing materials designed 
to introduce the Company's newest products to consumers and encourage trial and purchase include point-of-sale testers 
on the Company's display units that provide information about, and permit consumers to test, the Company's products, 
thereby achieving the benefits of an in-store demonstrator without the corresponding cost, magazine inserts containing 
samples of the Company's newest products, trial-size products and "shade samplers," which are collections of trial-size 
products in different shades. Additionally, the Company has its own website, www.revlon.com, which features current 
product and promotional information and which is updated regularly to stay current with the Company’s new product 
launches and other advertising and promotional campaigns. 

New Product Development and Research and Development 

The  Company  believes  that  it  is  an  industry  leader  in  the  development  of  innovative  and  techno- 
logically-advanced  consumer  products.  The  Company's  marketing  and  research  and  development  groups  identify 
consumer  needs  and  shifts  in  consumer  preferences  in  order  to  develop  new  products,  tailor  line  extensions  and 
promotions  and  redesign  or  reformulate  existing  products  to  satisfy  such  needs  or  preferences.  The  Company's 

5 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
research  and  development  group  comprises  departments  specialized  in  the  technologies  critical  to  the  Company's 
various  product  categories,  as  well  as  an  advanced  technology  department  that  promotes  inter-departmental, 
cross-functional  research  on  a  wide  range  of  technologies  to  develop  new  and  innovative  products.  The  Company 
independently  develops  substantially  all  of  its  new  products.  The  Company  also  has  entered  into  joint  research 
projects with major universities and commercial laboratories to develop advanced technologies. 

The Company believes that its Edison, New Jersey facility is one of the most extensive cosmetics research and 
development facilities in the United States. The scientists at the Edison facility are responsible for all of the Company's 
new product research worldwide, performing research for new products, ideas, concepts and packaging. The Company 
also has satellite research facilities in Brazil and France. 

The research and development group at the Edison facility also performs extensive safety and quality tests on 
the Company's products, including toxicology, microbiology and package testing. Additionally, quality control testing is 
performed at each manufacturing facility. 

As of December 31, 2000, the Company employed approximately 200 people in its research and development 
activities,  including  specialists  in  pharmacology,  toxicology,  chemistry,  microbiology,  engineering,  biology, 
dermatology  and  quality  control.  In  2000,  1999  and  1998,  the  Company  spent  approximately  $27.3  million,  $32.9 
million and $31.9 million, respectively, on research and development activities. 

Manufacturing and Related Operations and Raw Materials 

The  Company  manufactured  Revlon  brand  color  cosmetics,  personal  care  products  and  fragrances  and 
Ultima  cosmetics  and  skin  treatment  products  for  sale  in  the  United  States,  Japan  and  during  2000  most  of  the 
countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia at its Phoenix, Arizona facility and its Canadian facility. As part of its 
new  business  strategy  which  includes  the  consolidation  of  manufacturing  capacity,  the  Company  has  shutdown  its 
Canadian manufacturing facility and is in the process of shutting down the Phoenix facility and consolidating North 
America  cosmetics  manufacturing  at  its  Oxford,  North  Carolina  facility.  The  Company  also  manufactures  Almay 
brand  products  for  sale  throughout  the  world  and  personal  care  products  for  Revlon  and  Mitchum  at  its  Oxford, 
North  Carolina  facility.  Implements  for  sale  throughout  the  world  are  manufactured  and/or  assembled  at  the 
Company's  Irvington,  New  Jersey  facility.  The  Phoenix  and  Oxford  facilities  have  been  ISO-9002  certified. 
ISO-9002  certification  is  an  internationally  recognized  standard  for  manufacturing  facilities,  that  signifies  that  the 
manufacturing facility has achieved and maintains certain performance and quality commitment standards. 

The  Company  manufactures  its  entire  line  of  consumer  products  (except  implements)  for  sale  in  most  of 
Europe at its Maesteg, South Wales facility.  During 2000, cosmetics and personal care products also were produced at 
the Company's facilities in Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, France and South Africa.  The 
New  Zealand  facility  was  shutdown  in  late  2000,  and  the  Company  consolidated  such  operations  into  its  facility  in 
Australia. The Company’s Maesteg facility has been certified by the British equivalent of ISO-9002. 

The globalization of the Company's core brands allows the Company to centralize production of some product 
categories  for  sale  throughout  the  world  within  designated  facilities  and  shift  production  of  certain  other  product 
categories to more cost-effective manufacturing sites to reduce production costs. Shifts of production may result in the 
closing  of  certain  of  the  Company's  manufacturing  facilities,  and  the  Company  continually  reviews  its  needs  in  this 
regard.  In addition, as part of its efforts to continuously reduce costs, the Company attempts to ensure that a significant 
portion of its capital expenditures is devoted to improving operating efficiencies.   

The  Company  purchases  raw  materials  and  components  throughout  the  world.  The  Company  continuously 
pursues  reductions  in  cost  of  goods  through  the  global  sourcing  of  raw  materials  and  components  from  qualified 
vendors,  utilizing  its  large  purchasing  capacity  to  maximize  cost  savings.  The  global  sourcing  of  raw  materials  and 
components  from  accredited  vendors  also  ensures  the  quality  of  the  raw  materials  and  components.  The  Company 
believes that alternate sources of raw materials and components exist and does not anticipate any significant shortages 
of, or difficulty in obtaining, such materials. 

The Company's improvements in manufacturing, sourcing and related operations have contributed to improved 
customer service, including an improvement in the percentage of timely order fulfillment from most of the Company's

principal manufacturing facilities, and the timeliness and accuracy of new product and promotion deliveries. To promote 
the  Company's  understanding  of  and  responsiveness  to  the  needs  of  its  retail  customers,  the  Company  has  dedicated 
teams  assigned  to  significant  accounts,  and  has  provided  retail  accounts  with  a  designated  customer  service 
representative.  As  a  result  of  these  efforts,  accompanied  by  stronger  and  more  customer-focused  management,  the 
Company has developed strong relationships with its retailers. 

Distribution 

The Company's products are sold worldwide.  The Company's worldwide sales force had approximately 600 
people as of December 31, 2000, including dedicated sales forces for cosmetics, skin care and fragrance products in the 
self-select  distribution  channel,  for  the  demonstrator-assisted  distribution  channel  and  for  personal  care  products 
distribution.  In addition, the Company utilizes sales representatives and independent distributors to serve specialized 
markets and related distribution channels. 

United States.  Net sales in the United States accounted for approximately 58.8% of the Company's 2000 net 
sales, a majority of which were made in the self-select distribution channel. The Company also sells a broad range of 
consumer  products  to  United  States  Government  military  exchanges  and  commissaries.  The  Company  licenses  its 
trademarks to select manufacturers for products that the Company believes have the potential to extend the Company's 
brand names and image. As of December 31, 2000, 12 licenses were in effect relating to 11 product categories to be 
marketed  in  the  self-select  distribution  channel.  Pursuant  to  such  licenses,  the  Company  retains  strict  control  over 
product design and development, product quality, advertising and use of its trademarks. These licensing arrangements 
offer opportunities for the Company to generate revenues and cash flow through earned royalties. 

As  part  of  its  new  business  strategy  to  increase  consumption  of  the  Company's  products  at  retail,  the 
Company is increasing the number of retail merchandisers who stock and maintain the Company's point of sale retail 
displays to insure high selling SKUs are in stock and to insure the optimal presentation of the Company's product in 
retail outlets.  Additionally, the Company has upgraded the technology available to its sales force to provide real-
time information regarding inventory levels and other relevant information. 

International.  Net sales outside the United States accounted for approximately 41.2% of the Company's 2000 
net  sales.  The  ten  largest  countries  in  terms  of  these  sales,  which  include,  Brazil,  Canada,  Australia,  the  United 
Kingdom,  South  Africa,  Mexico,  France,  Argentina,  Italy  and  Venezuela,  accounted  for  approximately  30.1%  of  the 
Company's  net  sales  in  2000.  The  Company  distributes  its  products  through  drug  stores/chemists, hypermarkets/mass 
volume retailers and variety stores. The Company also distributes outside the United States through department stores 
and specialty stores such as perfumeries. At December 31, 2000, the Company actively sold its products through wholly-
owned subsidiaries established in 20 countries outside of the United States and through a large number of distributors 
and licensees elsewhere around the world.  

Customers  

The Company's principal customers include large mass volume retailers and chain drug stores, including such 
well known retailers as Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Eckerds, Albertsons Drugs and Longs in 
the United States, Boots in the United Kingdom, Carrefour in Western Europe and Wal-Mart internationally. Wal-Mart 
and its affiliates worldwide accounted for approximately 16.5% of the Company's 2000 consolidated net sales. Although 
the  loss  of  Wal-Mart  as  a  customer  would  have  an  adverse  effect  on  the  Company,  the  Company  believes  that  its 
relationship with Wal-Mart is satisfactory and the Company has no reason to believe that Wal-Mart will not continue as 
a customer.

Competition 

The  consumer  products  business  is  characterized  by  vigorous  competition  throughout  the  world.  Brand 
recognition, together with product quality, performance and price and the extent to which consumers are educated on 
product benefits, have a marked influence on consumers' choices among competing products and brands. Advertising, 
promotion, merchandising and packaging, and the timing of new product introductions and line extensions, also have a 
significant  impact  on  buying  decisions,  and  the  structure  and  quality  of  the  Company’s  sales  force  affect  product 
reception, in-store position, permanent display space and inventory levels in retail  outlets. The Company competes in 
most of its product categories against a number of companies, many of which have substantially greater resources than 
the  Company.  In  addition  to  products  sold  in  the  self-select  and  demonstrator-assisted  distribution  channels,  the 
Company's  products  also  compete  with  similar  products  sold  door-to-door  or  through  mail  order  or  telemarketing  by 
representatives  of  direct  sales  companies.  The  Company's  principal  competitors  include  L'Oréal  S.A.,  The  Procter  & 
Gamble Company, Unilever N.V. and The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. 

Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Technology 

The Company's major trademarks are registered in the United States and in well over 100 other countries, and 
the  Company  considers  trademark  protection  to  be  very  important  to  its  business.  Significant  trademarks  include 
Revlon, ColorStay, Revlon Age Defying, StreetWear, Flex, Cutex (outside the U.S.), Mitchum, Eterna 27, Ultima, 
Almay, Charlie, Jean Naté, Revlon Results, Colorama, Fire & Ice, Moon Drops, Super Lustrous, Wonderwear 
and Colorsilk.  

The  Company  utilizes  certain  proprietary  or  patented  technologies  in  the  formulation  or  manufacture  of  a 
number of the Company's products, including ColorStay lipcolor and cosmetics, ColorStay hair color, classic Revlon 
nail  enamel,  Top  Speed  nail  enamel,  Revlon  Age  Defying  foundation  and  cosmetics,  New  Complexion  makeup, 
Wonderwear foundation, Wonderwear lipstick, Almay Time-Off skin care and makeup, Almay Amazing cosmetics, 
Almay One Coat eye makeup and cosmetics, Ultima Vital Radiance skin care products and Outrageous shampoo. 
The  Company  also  protects  certain  of  its  packaging  and  component  concepts  through  design  patents.  The  Company 
considers its proprietary technology and patent protection to be important to its business. 

Government Regulation 

The  Company  is  subject  to  regulation  by  the  Federal  Trade  Commission  and  the  Food  and  Drug 
Administration  (the  "FDA")  in  the  United  States,  as  well  as  various  other  federal,  state,  local  and  foreign  regulatory 
authorities. The Phoenix, Arizona and Oxford, North Carolina manufacturing facilities are registered with the FDA as 
drug  manufacturing  establishments,  permitting  the  manufacture  of  cosmetics  that  contain  over-the-counter  drug 
ingredients  such  as  sunscreens.  Compliance  with  federal,  state,  local  and  foreign  laws  and  regulations  pertaining  to 
discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had, and 
is  not  anticipated  to  have,  a  material  effect  upon  the  capital  expenditures,  earnings  or  competitive  position  of  the 
Company. State and local regulations in the United States that are designed to protect consumers or the environment 
have an increasing influence on the Company’s product claims, contents and packaging. 

Industry Segments, Foreign and Domestic Operations 

The  Company  operates  in  a  single  segment.    Certain  geographic,  financial  and  other  information  of  the 

Company is set forth in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

Employees 

As of December 31, 2000, the Company employed the equivalent of approximately 8,000 full-time persons.  
As  of  December  31,  2000,  approximately  1,100  of  such  employees  in  the  United  States  were  covered  by  collective 
bargaining  agreements,  the  majority  of  whom  are  employed  at  the  Phoenix  facility.  The  Company  believes  that  its 
employee relations are satisfactory. Although the Company has experienced minor work stoppages of limited duration in 
the past in the ordinary course of business, such work stoppages have not had a material effect on the Company's results 
of operations or financial condition.

In addition to the facilities described above, the Company owns and leases additional facilities in various areas 
throughout the world, including the lease for the Company's executive offices in New York, New York (346,000 square 
feet, of which approximately 19,000 square feet were sublet to affiliates of the Company and approximately 162,000

facilities to be well-maintained and satisfactory for the Company's operations, and believes that the Company's facilities 
provide sufficient capacity for its current and expected production requirements. 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings 

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of its business. 
The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is unlikely to have a material 
adverse effect on the business or consolidated financial condition of the Company. 

On April 17, 2000, the plaintiffs in the six purported class actions filed in October and November 1999 by 
each  of  Thomas  Comport,  Boaz  Spitz,  Felix  Ezeir  and  Amy  Hoffman,  Ted  Parris,  Jerry  Krim  and  Dan  Gavish 
individually and allegedly on behalf of others similarly situated to them against Revlon, Inc., certain of its present 
and  former  officers  and  directors  and  the  parent  of  Revlon,  Inc.,  REV  Holdings  Inc.  (“REV  Holdings”),  alleging 
among  other  things,  violations  of  Rule  10b-5  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  filed  an  Amended

Complaint, which consolidated all of the actions and limited the alleged class period to the period from October 29, 
1997 through October 1, 1998 (“In Re Revlon, Inc. Securities Litigation”).  In June 2000, the Company moved to 
dismiss  the  Amended  Complaint,  which  motion  was  denied  in  substantial  part  in  March  2001.    The  Company 
believes  the  allegations  contained  in  the  Amended  Complaint  are  without  merit  and  intends  to  vigorously  defend 
against them. 

A purported class action lawsuit was filed on September 27, 2000, in the United States District Court for the 
Southern District of New York on behalf of Dan Gavish, Tricia Fontan and Walter Fontan individually and allegedly 
on behalf of all others similarly situated who purchased the securities of Revlon, Inc., and REV Holdings, between 
October 2, 1998 and September 30, 1999 (the "Purported Class Period").  The complaint alleges that Revlon, Inc. 
and  certain  of  its  present  and  former  officers  and  directors  and  REV  Holdings  violated,  among  other  things,  Rule 
10b-5  under    the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934.    On  October  17,  2000  the  court  ordered  that  this  lawsuit  be 
consolidated with the pending In Re Revlon, Inc. Securities Litigation. On October 27, 2000 the plaintiff moved for 
reconsideration of the October 17, 2000 consolidation order.  The Company believes the allegations contained in the 
complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

(dollars in millions) 

Overview 

The  Company  operates  in  a  single  segment  and  manufactures,  markets  and  sells  an  extensive  array  of 
cosmetics and skin care, fragrances and personal care products, and, until the disposition of its professional products 
line  on  March  30,  2000,  had  included  professional  products,  which  consisted  of  hair  and  nail  care  products 
principally for use in and resale by professional salons.  In addition, the Company has a licensing group.

Year ended December 31, 2000 compared with year ended December 31, 1999 

Net sales 

Net sales were $1,491.6 and $1,861.3 for 2000 and 1999, respectively, a decrease of $369.7, or 19.9% on a 
reported basis (a decrease of 18.6% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).  The decline in consolidated net sales for the year 
2000 as compared with 1999 is primarily due to the sale of the worldwide professional products line and the Plusbelle 
brand in Argentina, the effect on sales of the reduction of overall U.S. customer inventories, reduced consumer demand 
for the Company’s cosmetics, and increased competitive activity in certain markets. 

Net  sales,  excluding  the  worldwide  professional  products  line  and  the  Plusbelle  brand  in  Argentina,  were 
$1,395.3 and $1,470.9 for 2000 and 1999, respectively, a decrease of $75.6, or 5.1% on a reported basis (a decrease of 
3.5% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).

United  States.    Net  sales  in  the  United  States  were  $877.1  for  2000  compared  with  $1,046.2  for  1999,  a 
decrease  of  $169.1,  or  16.2%.    Net  sales,  excluding  the  domestic  portion  of  the  worldwide  professional  products 
line, were $841.9 for 2000 compared with $889.5 for 1999, a decrease of $47.6, or 5.4%.  The decline in sales for 
2000  is  primarily  due  to  a  reduction  of  overall  U.S.  customer  inventories,  which  the  Company  anticipates  will 
continue  to  affect  sales,  and  reduced  consumer  demand  for  the  Company’s  cosmetics  due  in  part  to  fewer  new 
product introductions.  

International.    Net  sales  outside  the  United  States  were  $614.5  for  2000  compared  with  $815.1  for  1999,  a 
decrease of $200.6, or 24.6% on a reported basis (a decrease of 21.7% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).  The decrease 
was primarily due to the sale of the worldwide professional products line and the Plusbelle brand in Argentina. 

Net  sales,  excluding  the  worldwide  professional  products  line  outside  the  United  States  and  the  Plusbelle 
brand  in  Argentina,  were  $553.4  for  2000  compared  with  $581.4  for  1999,  a  decrease  of  $28.0,  or  4.8%,  on  a 
reported basis (a decrease of 0.5% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).  The decrease in net sales for 2000 on a constant 
U.S. dollar basis is primarily due to increased competitive activity in certain markets outside the U.S.  The decrease 
in net sales for 2000 on a reported basis also reflects the unfavorable effect on sales of a stronger U.S. dollar against 
certain  foreign  currencies.    Sales  outside  the  United  States  are  divided  by  the  Company  into  three  geographic 
regions.  In Europe, which comprises Europe, the Middle East and Africa, net sales decreased by 9.2% on a reported 
basis  to  $174.9  for  2000  as  compared  with  1999  (an  increase  of  0.1%  on  a  constant  U.S.  dollar  basis).    In  the 
Western Hemisphere, which comprises Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America and Puerto Rico, net sales 
increased by 2.8% on a reported basis to $253.3 for 2000 as compared with 1999 (an increase of 3.1% on a constant 
U.S. dollar basis).  The Company’s operations in Brazil are significant.  In Brazil, net sales were $76.0 on a reported 
basis for 2000 compared with $76.1 for 1999.  In the Far East, net sales decreased by 12.0% on a reported basis to 
$125.2 for 2000 as compared with 1999 (a decrease of 7.3% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).  Net sales outside the 
United  States,  including  the  Company’s  operations  in  Brazil,  may  be  adversely  affected  by  weak  economic 
conditions, political and economic uncertainties, adverse currency fluctuations, and competitive activities. 

Cost of sales 

As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 37.1% for 2000 compared with 36.9% for 1999.  Excluding 
the worldwide professional products line and the Plusbelle brand in Argentina, cost of sales as a percentage of net 
sales was 36.8% for 2000 compared with 36.4% for 1999.  The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales 
for 2000 compared with 1999 is due to the mix of new products with higher product packaging and material costs 
and the effect of fixed costs on lower net sales. 

SG&A expenses 

As  a  percentage  of  net  sales,  SG&A  expenses  were  58.3%  for  2000  compared  with  72.4%  for  1999.  
Excluding  the  worldwide  professional  products  line  and  the  Plusbelle  brand  in  Argentina,  SG&A  expenses  as  a 
percentage of net sales were 58.5% for 2000 compared with 77.3% for 1999.  The decrease in SG&A expenses as a 
percentage of sales during 2000 primarily reflects reduced brand support and the favorable impact of the Company’s 
restructuring efforts partially offset by the effect of fixed costs on lower net sales.  

Restructuring costs and other, net 

Since  1998,  the  Company  has  been  continuously  evaluating  its  organizational  structure  and  has 

implemented a number of restructuring plans. 

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  1998,  the  Company  executed  a  plan  to  realign  and  reduce  personnel,  exit  excess 
leased real estate, realign and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing operations and exit 
certain product lines (the “1998 Restructuring Plan”).  The cost of the 1998 Restructuring Plan resulted in a charge 
of $44.2 in 1998 and an additional net charge of $20.5 through the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, 
principally  for  employee  severance  and  other  personnel  benefits  and  obligations  for  excess  leased  real  estate 
primarily in the United States. In 1999, the Company exited a non-core business for which it recorded a charge of 

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
$1.6, which was included in restructuring costs and other, net.  In 1998, the Company recognized $8.4 of gains on 
sales of certain non-core assets. 

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  1999,  the  Company  began  a  new  restructuring  program  principally  for  additional 
employee  severance  and  other  personnel  benefits  and  to  restructure  certain  operations  outside  the  United  States, 
including  certain  operations  in  Japan  (the  “1999  Restructuring  Plan”).    The  cost  of  the  1999  Restructuring  Plan 
resulted in a charge of $18.1 in the fourth quarter of 1999. In the first half of 2000, the Company recorded a charge 
of $14.6 relating to the 1999 Restructuring Plan. 

During the third quarter of 2000, the Company continued to re-evaluate its organizational structure.  As part 
of this re-evaluation, the Company developed a new restructuring plan designed to improve profitability by reducing 
personnel and consolidating manufacturing facilities (the “2000 Restructuring Plan”).  The 2000 Restructuring Plan 
focused on the Company’s plans to close its manufacturing operations in Phoenix, Arizona and Mississauga, Canada 
and to consolidate its production into its plant in Oxford, North Carolina.  The 2000 Restructuring Plan also includes 
the remaining obligation for excess leased real estate in the Company’s headquarters, consolidation costs associated 
with  the  Company  closing  its  facility  in  New  Zealand,  and  the  elimination  of  several  domestic  and  international 
executive and operational positions, both of which were effected to reduce and streamline corporate overhead costs.  
In the third and fourth quarters of 2000, the Company recorded charges of $13.7 and $25.8, respectively, related to 
the  2000  Restructuring  Plan,  principally  for  additional  employee  severance  and  other  personnel  benefits  and  to 
consolidate  worldwide  operations.    The  Company  anticipates  that  it  will  recognize  approximately  $35  to  $40  of 
additional costs to implement this plan. 

The Company anticipates annual savings of approximately $40 to $45 relating to the restructuring charges 

recorded during 2000 in connection with the 2000 and 1999 Restructuring Plans. 

Other expenses (income) 

Interest expense was $144.5 for 2000 compared with $147.9 for 1999.  The decrease in interest expense for 
2000 as compared with 1999 is primarily due to the repayment of borrowings under the Credit Agreement with the 
net proceeds from the disposition of the worldwide professional product line and the Plusbelle brand in Argentina, 
partially offset by higher interest rates under the Credit Agreement. 

Foreign currency losses (gains), net, were $1.6 for 2000 compared with $(0.5) for 1999.  Foreign currency 

losses, net for 2000, consisted primarily of losses in certain markets in Latin America.  

Sale of product line and brand 

On  May  8,  2000,  Products  Corporation  completed  the  disposition  of  the  Plusbelle  brand  in  Argentina.  In 
connection  with  the  disposition,  the  Company  recognized  a  pre-tax  and  after-tax  loss  of  $4.8  (See  Note  3  to  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements).  

On March 30, 2000, Products Corporation completed the disposition of its worldwide professional products 
line,  including  professional  hair  care  for  use  in  and  resale  by  professional  salons,  ethnic  hair  and  personal  care 
products,  Natural  Honey  skin  care  and  certain  regional  toiletries  brands.    In  connection  with  the  disposition,  the 
Company recognized a pre-tax and after-tax gain of $14.8 (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  

Provision for income taxes 

The provision for income taxes was $8.6 for 2000 compared with $9.1 for 1999.  The decrease for 2000 
compared with 1999 was primarily attributable to lower taxable income in 2000 in certain markets outside the United 
States.

Net sales 

Net sales were $1,861.3 and $2,252.2 for 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease of $390.9, or 17.4% on a 

reported basis (a decrease of 14.9% on a constant U.S. dollar basis). 

United States.  Net sales in the United States were $1,046.2 for 1999 compared with $1,343.7 for 1998, a 
decrease of $297.5, or 22.1%.  Net sales for 1999 were adversely affected by lower than anticipated share growth, 
competitive activities and a reduction in the level of Company shipments to certain retailers intended to achieve such 
retailers’  lower  inventory  target  levels.  The  reduction  of  retailers’  target  inventory  levels  will  continue  and  is 
expected to adversely impact sales in 2000. 

New  products  in  1999  included  EveryLash  mascara,  MoistureStay  Sheer  Lip  Color,  Revlon  Age 
Defying  compact  makeup,  Wet/Dry  Eye  Shadow,  Almay  Stay  Smooth  lip  makeup  and  mascara,  Almay 
Foundation  with  Skin  Stays  Clean  attributes,  products  in  the  Almay  One  Coat  collection,  Mitchum  Cool  Dry 
antiperspirant and ColorStay Liquid Lip. 

International.  Net sales outside the United States were $815.1 for 1999 compared with $908.5 for 1998, a 
decrease of $93.4, or 10.3%, on a reported basis (a decrease of 3.7% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).  Net sales for 
1999 on a constant U.S. dollar basis were affected by unfavorable economic conditions in certain markets outside the 
U.S., principally Brazil, which restrained consumer and trade demand, increased competitive activity and lower sales 
in certain markets, principally the United Kingdom and Canada.  The decrease in net sales for 1999 on a reported 
basis  also  reflects  the  unfavorable  effect  on  sales  of  a  stronger  U.S.  dollar  against  certain  foreign  currencies, 
particularly the Brazilian real.  Sales outside the United States are divided into three geographic regions.  In Europe, 
which comprises Europe, the Middle East and Africa, net sales decreased by 9.2% on a reported basis to $369.5 for 
1999  as  compared  with  1998  (a  decrease  of  4.3%  on  a  constant  U.S.  dollar  basis).    In  the  Western  Hemisphere, 
which comprises Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America and Puerto Rico, net sales decreased by 15.4% 
on a reported basis to $303.1 for 1999 as compared with 1998 (a decrease of 3.0% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).  
The  Company's  operations  in  Brazil  are  significant.    In  Brazil,  net  sales  were  $76.1  on  a  reported  basis  for  1999 
compared with $122.5 for 1998, a decrease of $46.4, or 37.9% (a decrease of 3.1% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).  
On a reported basis, net sales in Brazil were adversely affected by the stronger U.S. dollar against the Brazilian real, 
unfavorable economic conditions and increased competitive activities.  In the Far East, net sales decreased by 0.7% 
on a reported basis to $142.5 for 1999 as compared with 1998 (a decrease of 4.0% on a constant U.S. dollar basis).  
Net sales outside the United States, including, without limitation, in Brazil, may be adversely affected by generally 
weak economic conditions, political and economic uncertainties, including, without limitation, currency fluctuations 
and competitive activities in certain markets. 

 Cost of sales 

As  a  percentage  of  net  sales,  cost  of  sales  was  36.9%  for  1999  compared  with  34.0%  for  1998.    The 
increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for 1999 compared with 1998 is due to changes in product mix, 
the effect of weaker local currencies on the cost of imported purchases by subsidiaries outside the U.S. and the effect 
of lower net sales. 

 SG&A expenses 

As  a  percentage  of  net  sales,  SG&A  expenses  were  72.4%  ($1,347.6)  for  1999  compared  with  59.0% 
($1,328.8)  for  1998.  The  increase  in  SG&A  expenses  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  is  due  in  large  measure  to  the 
reduced levels of sales coupled with the Company’s decision to maintain throughout the second half of 1999 brand 
support  intended  to  drive  consumer  purchasing  and  facilitate  the  inventory  reduction  process  by  U.S.  retailers 
referred  to  earlier.    In  addition,  SG&A  increased  as  a  result  of  executive  separation  costs  of  $22.0,  which  were 
partially offset by savings from the Company’s restructuring plan from 1998.

 Restructuring costs and other, net 

In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company executed the 1998 Restructuring Plan recognizing a charge of 
$44.2.    During  1999,  the  Company  continued  to  implement  the  1998  Restructuring  Plan  for  which  it  recorded  a 
charge  of  $20.5  for  employee  severance  and  other  personnel  benefits,  costs  associated  with  the  exit  from  leased 
facilities as well as other costs.  Also in 1999, the Company consummated an exit from a non-core business, resulting 
in  an  additional  charge  of  $1.6,  which  is  included  in  restructuring  costs  and  other,  net.  In  1998,  the  Company 
recognized $8.4 of gains on sales of certain non-core assets. 

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company began its 1999 Restructuring Plan resulting in a charge of 

$18.1 principally for employee severance.  

 Other expenses (income) 

Interest expense was $147.9 for 1999 compared with $137.9 for 1998.  The increase in interest expense for 
1999  as  compared  with  1998  is  due  to  higher  average  outstanding  debt  and  higher  interest  rates  under  the  Credit 
Agreement, partially offset by lower interest rates as a result of the refinancings in 1998. 

Foreign currency (gains) losses, net, were $(0.5) for 1999 compared with $4.6 in 1998.  Foreign currency 

losses, net for 1998 consisted primarily of losses in several markets in Latin America. 

 Provision for income taxes 

The provision for income taxes was $9.1 for 1999 compared with $5.0 for 1998.  

 Discontinued operations 

During 1998, the Company completed the disposition of its approximately 85% ownership interest in The 
Cosmetic Center, Inc. (“CCI”) and, accordingly, the results of operations of CCI had been reported as discontinued 
operations along with the loss on disposal of such operations.  

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Net cash used for operating activities was $85.4, $82.8 and $51.5 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  
The  slight  increase  in  net  cash  used  for  operating  activities  for  2000  compared  with  1999  resulted  primarily  from 
changes  in  working  capital,  partially  offset  by  a  lower  net  loss  and  lower  purchases  of  permanent  displays.    The 
increase in net cash used for operating activities for 1999 compared with 1998 was the result of operating losses and 
increased use of cash for restructuring costs during 1999, partially offset by changes in working capital. 

Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities was $322.1, $(40.7) and $(91.0) for 2000, 1999 and 1998, 
respectively.  Net cash provided by investing activities for 2000 consisted of proceeds from the sale of the Company’s 
worldwide  professional  products  line  and  the  Plusbelle  brand  in  Argentina,  partially  offset  by  cash  used  for  capital 
expenditures.  Net cash used for investing activities in 1999 related principally to capital expenditures.  Net cash used 
for  investing  activities  for  1998  includes  cash  paid  in  connection  with  acquisitions  of  businesses  and  capital 
expenditures,  partially  offset  by  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  the  wigs  and  hairpieces  portion  of  the  Company's 
business in the United States and from the sale of certain assets.  Net cash used for investing activities for 2000, 1999 
and  1998  included  capital  expenditures  of  $19.0,  $42.3  and  $60.8,  respectively,  and  in  1998  $57.6  was  used  for 
acquisitions.    Investing  activities  in  1999  included  substantial  upgrades  to  the  Company’s  management  information 
systems. 

Net cash (used for) provided by financing activities was $(202.3), $118.5 and $159.1 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, 
respectively.    Net  cash  used  for  financing  activities  for  2000  included  repayments  of  borrowings  under  the  Credit 
Agreement  with  the  net  proceeds  from  the  disposition  of  the  worldwide  professional  products  line  and  the  Plusbelle 
brand in Argentina and the repayment of Products Corporation’s Japanese yen-denominated credit agreement (the “Yen 
Credit  Agreement”)  partially  offset  by  cash  drawn  under  the  Credit  Agreement.    Net  cash  provided  by  financing 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
activities  for  1999  included  cash  drawn  under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by repayments of borrowings 
under the Credit Agreement, redemption of the Products Corporation’s 9 1/2 Senior Notes due 1999 and repayments 
under  the  Yen  Credit  Agreement.    Net  cash  provided  by  financing  activities  for  1998  included  proceeds  from  the 
issuance  of  Products  Corporation’s  9%  Senior  Notes  due  2006  (the  “9%  Notes”),  Products  Corporation’s  8  5/8% 
Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due  2008  (the  “8  5/8%  Notes”)  and  Products  Corporation’s  8  1/8%  Senior  Notes  due 
2006 (the “8 1/8% Notes”) and cash drawn under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by the payment of fees and 
expenses  related  to  the  issuance  of  the  9%  Notes,  the  8  5/8%  Notes  and  the  8  1/8%  Notes,  the  redemption  of 
Products Corporation’s 10 1/2 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 and Products Corporation’s 9 3/8% Senior 
Notes due 2001, and the repayment of borrowings under the Yen Credit Agreement. During 1998, net cash used by 
discontinued operations was $17.3. 

In May 1997, Products Corporation entered into a credit agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Credit 
Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders, whose individual members change from time to time. In March 2000 and 
May  2000,  60%  of  the  Net  Proceeds  from  the  disposition  of  the  worldwide  professional  products  line  and  the 
Plusbelle  brand  in  Argentina,  respectively,  was  applied  to  reduce  the  aggregate  commitment  under  the  Credit 
Agreement.    As  of  December  31,  2000,  after  giving  effect  to  the  foregoing  reductions,  the  Credit  Agreement 
provided  up  to  $518.5  and  is  comprised  of  five  senior  secured  facilities:  $106.2  in  two  term  loan  facilities  (the 
“Term  Loan  Facilities”),  a  $300.0  multi-currency  facility  (the  “Multi-Currency  Facility”),  a  $62.3  revolving 
acquisition facility, which may also be used for general corporate purposes (the “Acquisition Facility”), and a $50.0 
special  standby  letter  of  credit  facility  (the  “Special  LC  Facility”).  The  Company  under  certain  circumstances  and 
with the consent of a majority of the lenders may increase the Acquisition Facility to $262.3. At December 31, 2000, 
the Company had $106.2 outstanding under the Term Loan Facilities, $221.2 outstanding under the Multi-Currency 
Facility, $62.3 outstanding under the Acquisition Facility and $22.6 of issued but undrawn letters of credit under the 
Special LC Facility. The scheduled reductions of the Acquisition Facility are $48.8 during 2001. The balance of the 
Acquisition  Facility,  along  with  the  Term  Loan  Facilities,  the  Multi-Currency Facility and the Special LC Facility 
mature  in  May  2002.    In  January  2001  (effective  December  31,  2000),  Products  Corporation  and  its  bank  lenders 
entered  into  an  amendment  to  the  Credit  Agreement,  to  (i)  eliminate  the  interest  coverage  ratio  and  leverage  ratio 
covenants for 2001; (ii) add a minimum cumulative EBITDA covenant for each quarter end during the year 2001; 
(iii) modify the definition of EBITDA beginning with the quarterly period ended December 31, 2000; (iv) limit the 
amount  that  Products  Corporation  may  spend  for  capital  expenditures;  (v)  permit  the  sale  of  certain  of  Products 
Corporation's non-core assets; (vi) permit Products Corporation to retain 100% of the Net Proceeds  from such asset 
sales;  (vii)  increase  the  "applicable  margin"  by  1/2  of  1%;  and  (viii)  require  Products  Corporation  to  provide  a 
mortgage on its facility in Oxford, North Carolina as security for its obligations under the Credit Agreement.  

A subsidiary of Products Corporation was the borrower under the Yen Credit Agreement.  In March 2000, 

the outstanding balance under the Yen Credit Agreement was repaid in full in accordance with its terms. 

The Company's principal sources of funds are expected to be cash flow generated from operations (before 
interest),  net  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  certain  non-core  assets  and  borrowings  under  the  Credit  Agreement.    The 
Credit  Agreement,  Products  Corporation’s  8  5/8%  Notes,  Products  Corporation’s  8  1/8%  Notes  and  Products 
Corporation’s  9%  Notes  contain  certain  provisions  that  by  their  terms  limit  Products  Corporation’s  and/or  its 
subsidiaries'  ability  to,  among  other  things,  incur  additional  debt.  The  Company's  principal  uses  of  funds  are 
expected  to  be  the  payment  of  operating  expenses,  working  capital,  purchases  of  permanent  displays  and  capital 
expenditure requirements, expenses in connection with the Company’s 2000 and 1999 Restructuring Plans referred 
to above and debt service payments.  

The  Company  estimates  that  purchases  of  permanent  displays  for  2001  will  be  $40  to  $50  and  capital 
expenditures for 2001 will be $13 to $17.  The Company estimates that cash payments related to the restructuring 
plans  referred  to  in  Note  2  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  plans  for  2001  and  executive  separation 
costs will be $60 to $80 in 2001.  Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, Revlon, Inc. may be required to make tax 
sharing  payments  to  Mafco  Holdings  Inc.  (“Mafco  Holdings”)  as  if  Revlon,  Inc.  were  filing  separate  income  tax 
returns,  except  that  no  payments  are  required  by  Revlon,  Inc.  if  and  to  the  extent  that  Products  Corporation  is 
prohibited  under  the  Credit  Agreement  from  making  tax  sharing  payments  to  Revlon,  Inc.    The  Credit  Agreement 
prohibits Products Corporation from making any tax sharing payments other than in respect of state and local income 
taxes. Revlon, Inc. currently anticipates that, as a result of net operating tax losses and prohibitions under the Credit 

17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Agreement,  no  cash  federal  tax  payments  or  cash  payments  in  lieu  of  federal  taxes  pursuant  to  the  tax  sharing 
agreement will be required for 2001.  

Products Corporation enters into forward foreign exchange contracts and option contracts from time to time 
to hedge certain cash flows denominated in foreign currencies.  There were no forward foreign exchange or option 
contracts outstanding at December 31, 2000.  

The Company expects that cash flows from operations, net proceeds from the sale of certain non-core assets 
(or financial support from an affiliate, if such asset sales are not completed on a timely basis) and borrowings under 
the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated cash requirements during 2001 
on  a  consolidated  basis,  including  for  debt  service  and  expenses  in  connection  with  the  Company’s  restructuring 
plans.  However, there can be no assurance that the combination of cash flow from operations, net proceeds from the 
sale of certain non-core assets (or from such financial support) and borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be 
sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements on a consolidated basis. If the Company is unable to satisfy such 
cash requirements, the Company could be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying 
purchases of permanent displays, reducing or delaying capital expenditures, delaying or revising restructuring plans, 
restructuring indebtedness, selling additional assets or operations, or seeking capital contributions or additional loans 
from affiliates of the Company or issuing additional shares of capital stock of Revlon, Inc.   Products Corporation 
has received a commitment from an affiliate that is prepared to provide, if necessary, additional financial support to 
Products Corporation of up to $40 on appropriate terms through December 31, 2001.  There can be no assurance that 
any  of  such  actions  could  be  effected,  that  they  would  enable  the  Company  to  continue  to  satisfy  its  capital 
requirements  or  that  they  would  be  permitted  under  the  terms  of  the  Company's  various  debt  instruments  then  in 
effect.  Revlon, Inc., as a holding company, will be dependent on the earnings and cash flow of, and dividends and 
distributions from, Products Corporation to pay its expenses and to pay any cash dividend or distribution on Revlon, 
Inc.’s Class A Common Stock that may be authorized by the Board of Directors of Revlon, Inc.  The terms of the 
Credit  Agreement,  the  8  5/8%  Notes,  the  8  1/8%  Notes  and  the  9%  Notes  generally  restrict  Products  Corporation 
from paying dividends or making distributions, except that Products Corporation is permitted to pay dividends and 
make distributions to Revlon, Inc., among other things, to enable Revlon, Inc. to pay expenses incidental to being a 
public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting, regulatory 
fees such as Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses 
related  to  being  a  public  holding  company  and  to  pay  dividends  or  make  distributions  in  certain  circumstances  to 
finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the delivery of such Class A 
Common  Stock  to  grantees  under  the  Revlon,  Inc.  Amended  and  Restated  1996  Stock  Plan,  provided  that  the 
aggregate  amount  of  such  dividends  and  distributions  taken  together  with  any  purchases  of  Revlon,  Inc.  Class  A 
Common  Stock  on  the  open  market  to  satisfy  matching  obligations  under  the  excess  savings  plan  may  not  exceed

As  part  of  the  European  Economic  and  Monetary  Union,  a  single  currency  (the  “Euro”)  will  replace  the 
national  currencies  of  the  principal  European  countries  (other  than  the  United  Kingdom)  in  which  the  Company 
conducts  business  and  manufacturing.    The  conversion  rates  between  the  Euro  and  the  participating  nations’ 
currencies were fixed as of January 1, 1999, with the participating national currencies to be removed from circulation 
between January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002 and replaced by Euro notes and coinage.  During the transition period 
from  January  1,  1999  through  December  31,  2001,  public  and  private  entities  as  well  as  individuals  may  pay  for 
goods  and  services  using  checks,  drafts,  or  wire  transfers  denominated  either  in  the  Euro  or  the  participating 
country’s  national  currency.    Under  the  regulations  governing  the  transition  to  a  single  currency,  there  is  a  “no 
compulsion,  no  prohibition”  rule,  which  states  that  no  one  can  be  prevented  from  using  the  Euro  after  January  1, 
2002  and  no  one  is  obliged  to  use  the  Euro  before  July  2002.    In  keeping  with  this  rule,  the  Company  expects  to 
either  continue  using  the  national  currencies  or  the  Euro  for  invoicing  or  payments.    Based  upon  the  information 
currently available, the Company does not expect that the transition to the Euro will have a material adverse effect on 
the business or consolidated financial condition of the Company.

Effect of New Accounting Standards 

In June 1998 and June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and 
Hedging  Activities”  and  SFAS  No.  138,  “Accounting  for  Certain  Derivative  Instruments  and  Certain  Hedging 
Activities.”  These statements establish accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument 
be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.  SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 
also  require  that  changes  in  the  derivative’s  fair  value  be  recognized  currently  in  earnings  unless  specific  hedge 
accounting criteria are met.  SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The 
adoption of SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In  May  2000,  the  FASB  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force  (the  “EITF”)  issued  new  guidelines  entitled, 
“Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives” (the “Guidelines”), which addresses when sales incentives and discounts 
should  be  recognized,  as  well  as  where  the  related  revenues  and  expenses  should  be  classified  in  the  financial 
statements.  The  Guidelines,  as  amended  in  November  2000,  are  effective  for  the  second  quarter  ending  June  30, 
2001,  and  would  be  applied  retroactively  for  purposes  of  comparability.    Therefore,  beginning  April  1,  2001,  the 
Company is required to reclassify certain revenues and expenses related to its promotional programs out of operating 
expenses  and  into  sales  and  cost  of  sales.    Such  reclassification  will  not  affect  the  Company’s  operating  income 
(loss) or net loss. 

In  March  2000,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  Interpretation  No.  44,  “Accounting  for  Certain  Transactions 
Involving Stock Compensation: An Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25” (the “Interpretation”).  The Interpretation 
provides  guidance  for  issues  that  have  arisen  in  the  application  of  APB  Opinion  No.  25,  “Accounting  for  Stock 
Issued  to  Employees”  (“Opinion  No.  25”).    The  Interpretation,  which  became  effective  July  1,  2000,  applies 
prospectively  to  new  awards,  exchanges  of  awards,  modifications  to  outstanding  awards  and  changes  in  grantee 
status  that  occur  on  or  after  July  1,  2000,  except  for  the  provisions  related  to  repricings  and  the  definition  of  an 
employee, which apply to awards issued after December 15, 1998.  The implementation of the Interpretation by the 
Company on July 1, 2000 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In  December  1999,  the  staff  of  the  United  States  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  issued  Staff 
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB 101A and SAB 
101B (“SAB 101”).  SAB 101 outlines basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidelines 
for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies.  SAB 101 was required to be implemented in the fourth quarter 
of 2000.  The adoption of  SAB 101 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

Forward-Looking Statements 

This annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 as well as other public documents 
and  statements  of  the  Company  contains  forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties.    The 
Company’s  actual  results  may  differ  materially  from  those  discussed  in  such  forward-looking  statements.    Such 
statements  include,  without  limitation,  the  Company’s  expectations  and  estimates  as  to:  the  introduction  of  new 
products;  future  financial  performance;  the  effect  on  sales  of  the  reduction  of  overall  U.S.  customer  inventories 
including the timing thereof; the effect on sales of political and/or economic conditions and competitive activities; 
the Company’s estimate of restructuring activities, restructuring costs and benefits; the Company’s plans with respect 
to and estimate of the timing of the shutdown of its Phoenix manufacturing operation, the charges, the cash cost and 
the annual savings resulting from plant shutdowns; the Company’s expectation that its new trade terms for its U.S. 
customers  will  increase  consumption  of  its  products,  drive  market  growth,  result  in  more  efficient  ordering  and 
shipping and reduce returns; cash flow from operations; purchases of permanent displays, capital expenditures; the 
availability of raw materials and components; the Company’s qualitative and quantitative estimates as to market risk 
sensitive  instruments;  the  Company’s  expectations  about  the  effects  of  the  transition  to  the  Euro;  the  Company’s 
intent to pursue the sale of certain non-core assets; the availability of funds from currently available credit facilities,  
net  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  certain  non-core  assets,  capital  contributions  or  loans  from  affiliates  and  the  sale  of 
additional assets or operations or additional shares of Revlon, Inc.  Statements that are not historical facts, including 
statements  about  the  Company’s  beliefs  and  expectations,  are  forward-looking  statements.  Forward-looking 
statements  can  be  identified  by,  among  other  things,  the  use  of  forward-looking  language,  such  as  “believes,” 
“expects,”  “estimates,”  “projects,”  “forecast,”  “may,”  “will,”  “should,”  “seeks,”  “plans,”  “scheduled  to,” 

19 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
“anticipates” or “intends” or the negative of those terms, or other variations of those terms or comparable language, 
or by discussions of strategy or intentions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and 
the Company undertakes no obligation to update them.  A number of important factors could cause actual results to 
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.  In addition to factors that may be described 
in the Company’s filings with the Commission, including this filing, the following factors, among others, could cause 
the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by 
the Company: (i) difficulties or delays in developing and introducing new products or failure of customers to accept 
new product offerings; (ii) changes in consumer preferences, including reduced consumer demand for the Company’s 
color cosmetics and other current products; (iii) unanticipated costs or difficulties or delays in completing projects 
associated  with  the  Company’s  strategy  to  improve  operating  efficiencies;  (iv)  the  inability  to  secure  capital 
contributions or loans from affiliates or sell additional assets or operations or additional shares of Revlon, Inc.; (v) 
effects of and changes in political and/or economic conditions, including inflation and monetary conditions, and in 
trade, monetary, fiscal and tax policies in international markets, including but not limited to Brazil; (vi) actions by 
competitors,  including  business  combinations,  technological  breakthroughs,  new  products  offerings  and  marketing 
and promotional successes; (vii) combinations among significant customers or the loss, insolvency or failure to pay 
debts by a significant customer or customers; (viii) lower than expected sales as a result of the reduction of overall 
U.S.  customer  inventories;  (ix)  difficulties,  delays  or  unanticipated  costs  or  less  than  expected  savings  and  other 
benefits resulting from the Company’s restructuring activities; (x) difficulties or delays in implementing, higher than 
expected charges and cash costs or lower than expected savings from the shutdown of manufacturing operations in 
Phoenix; (xi) difficulties or delays in implementing or achieving the intended results of the new trade terms including 
increased  consumption,  market  growth  and  lower  returns  or  unexpected  consequences  from  the  implementation  of 
the  new  trade  terms  including  the  possible  effect  on  sales;  (xii)  interest  rate  or  foreign  exchange  rate  changes 
affecting the Company and its market sensitive financial instruments; (xiii) difficulties, delays or unanticipated costs 
associated with the transition to the Euro; (xiv) difficulties or delays in sourcing raw materials or components; and 
(xv) difficulties or delays in pursuing the sale of one or more non-core assets, the inability to consummate such sales 
or to secure the expected level of proceeds from such sales. 

Inflation 

In general, costs are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation may be experienced by the Company in 
future periods. Management believes, however, that such effects have not been material to the Company during the past 
three years in the United States or foreign non-hyperinflationary countries. The Company operates in certain countries 
around  the  world,  such  as  Brazil,  Venezuela  and  Mexico  that  have  experienced  hyperinflation.  The  Company's 
operations  in  Brazil  are  accounted  for  as  a  non-hyperinflationary  economy.    Effective  January  1997,  Mexico  was 
considered a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes.  Effective January 1, 1999, Mexico was considered a 
non-hyperinflationary economy. In hyperinflationary foreign countries, the Company attempts to mitigate the effects of 
inflation by increasing prices in line with inflation, where possible, and efficiently managing its working capital levels.   

Subsequent Events 

On  March  29,  2001,  a  subsidiary  of  Products  Corporation  entered  into  an  agreement  to  sell  land  located  in 
Minami Aoyama near Tokyo, Japan and related rights for the construction of a building on such land for ¥3.3 billion 
(approximately $28 as of March 29, 2001), after fees and expenses. This was less than the Company expected it would 
receive and resulted in an additional charge of $3.4 (reported in SG&A to reduce the book value to its estimated net 
realizable value) in excess of that reported in the Company’s earnings release on February 26, 2001.  The agreement is 
subject to a number of conditions.  Subject to satisfaction of such conditions, Products Corporation expects the sale to be 
consummated during the second quarter of 2001. 

On March 16, 2001, Products Corporation entered into an agreement to sell its Phoenix facility for $8.0 and 
lease it back for a certain period of time.  The agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including completion 
of  due  diligence.    Subject  to  satisfaction  of  such  conditions,  Products  Corporation  expects  the  sale  to  be 
consummated during the second quarter of 2001.   

If  consummated,  proceeds  available  to  the  Company  from  the  aforementioned  transactions  will  be  used  for 

general corporate purposes, including payments to fund the Company’s restructuring plans.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

Interest Rate Sensitivity 

The  Company  has  exposure  to  changing  interest  rates,  primarily  in  the  United  States.    The  Company’s 
policy is to manage interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt.  The Company 
from time to time makes use of derivative financial instruments to adjust its fixed and floating rate ratio.  The table 
below  provides  information  about  the  Company’s  indebtedness  that  is  sensitive  to  changes  in  interest  rates.    The 
table  presents  cash  flows  with  respect  to  principal  on  indebtedness  and  related  weighted  average  interest  rates  by 
expected maturity dates.  Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at 
December  31,  2000.    The  information  is  presented  in  U.S.  dollar  equivalents,  which  is  the  Company’s  reporting 
currency. 

Exchange Rate Sensitivity 

The Company manufactures and sells its products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a 
result,  is  exposed  to  movements  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates.    In  addition,  a  portion  of  the  Company’s 
borrowings  are  denominated  in  foreign  currencies,  which  are  also  subject  to  market  risk  associated  with  exchange 
rate  movement.    The  Company  from  time  to  time  hedges  major  net  foreign  currency  cash  exposures  generally 
through  foreign  exchange  forward  and  option  contracts.    The  contracts  are  entered  into  with  major  financial 
institutions to minimize counterparty risk.  These contracts generally have a duration of less than twelve months and 
are  primarily  against  the  U.S.  dollar.    In  addition,  the  Company  enters  into  foreign  currency  swaps  to  hedge 
intercompany financing transactions.   

The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. 

As  referred  to  above,  in  March  2000  and  May  2000,  Products  Corporation  reduced  the  aggregate 

commitment under its Credit Agreement and repaid its Yen Credit Agreement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Revlon, Inc.: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 
2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and comprehensive loss 
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000.  In connection with our audits of 
the consolidated financial statements we have also audited the financial statement schedule as listed on the index on page 
F-1.  These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s 
management.    Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  and  financial 
statement schedule based on our audits. 

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America. 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 
statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the 
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
financial  position  of  Revlon,  Inc.  and  its  subsidiaries  as  of  December  31,  2000  and  1999  and  the  results  of  their 
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity 
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also in our opinion, the related financial 
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents 
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

REVLON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(dollars in millions, except per share data) 

1.   Significant Accounting Policies 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation: 

Revlon, Inc. (and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) conducts its business exclusively through its 
direct subsidiary, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Products Corporation”). The Company 
manufactures and sells an extensive array of cosmetics and skin care, fragrances and personal care products.  Prior to 
March 30, 2000, the Company sold professional products for use in and resale by professional salons.  (See Note 3).  On 
March  30,  2000,  the  Company  sold  its  professional  products  line  and  on  May  8,  2000,  sold  the  Plusbelle  brand  in 
Argentina.    (See  Note  3).    The  Company’s  principal  customers  include  large  mass  volume  retailers  and  chain  drug 
stores,  as  well  as  certain  department  stores  and  other  specialty  stores,  such  as  perfumeries.  The  Company  also  sells 
consumer products to United States military exchanges and commissaries and has a licensing group.  

Unless the context otherwise requires, all  references to the Company mean Revlon, Inc. and its subsidiaries. 
Revlon, Inc., as a public holding company, has no business operations of its own and its only material asset has been all 
of  the  outstanding  capital  stock  of  Products  Corporation.    As  such,  its  net  (loss)  income  has  historically  consisted 
predominantly  of  its  equity  in  the  net  (loss)  income  of  Products  Corporation  and  in  2000,  1999  and  1998  included 
approximately $1.7, $1.2 and $1.5, respectively, in expenses incidental to being a public holding company. 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company after elimination of all material 
intercompany balances and transactions. Further, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating 
to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of liabilities and the reporting of revenues and expenses to prepare 
these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from 
those estimates. 

The  Company  is  an  indirect  majority  owned  subsidiary  of  MacAndrews  &  Forbes  Holdings  Inc. 
(“MacAndrews  Holdings”),  a  corporation  wholly  owned  indirectly  through  Mafco  Holdings  Inc.  (“Mafco  Holdings” 
and, together with MacAndrews Holdings, “MacAndrews & Forbes”) by Ronald O. Perelman. 

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s 

presentation. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: 

Cash  equivalents  (primarily  investments  in  time  deposits,  which  have  original  maturities  of  three  months  or 
less) are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.  Approximately $22.2 and $15.3 was restricted and supported 
short-term borrowings at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  (See Note 8). 

Inventories: 

Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  market  value.  Cost  is  principally  determined  by  the  first-in, 

first-out method. 

Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Assets: 

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 40 years; buildings and improvements, 5 to 50 years; 
machinery  and  equipment,  3  to  17  years;  and  office  furniture  and  fixtures  and  capitalized  software,  2  to  12  years. 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the terms of the leases, whichever is shorter. 
Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, and expenditures for additions and improvements are 
capitalized.  At  the  beginning  of  the  fourth  quarter  in  2000,  the  Company  decided  to  consolidate  its  manufacturing 
facility  in  Phoenix,  Arizona  into  its  manufacturing  facility  in  Oxford,  North  Carolina.    The  Phoenix  manufacturing 

F-7 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
facility is expected to remain operational until June 30, 2001, and certain other operations may remain thereafter under a 
leaseback  agreement.    As  a  result,  the  Company  is  depreciating  the  net  book  value  of  the  facility  in  excess  of  its 
estimated salvage value, over its remaining nine-month useful life.   

Included  in  other  assets  are  permanent  displays  amounting  to  approximately  $111.6  and  $131.2  (net  of 
amortization) as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, which are amortized over 3 to 5 years. In addition, the 
Company has included in other assets charges related to the issuance of its debt instruments amounting to approximately 
$19.0 and $21.0 (net of amortization) as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, which are amortized over the 
terms of the related debt instruments. 

Intangible Assets Related to Businesses Acquired: 

Intangible  assets  related  to  businesses  acquired  principally  represent  goodwill,  the  majority  of  which  is 
being  amortized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  40  years.  The  Company  evaluates,  when  circumstances  warrant,  the 
recoverability  of  its  intangible  assets  on  the  basis  of  undiscounted  cash  flow  projections.  When  impairment  is 
indicated,  the  Company  writes  down  recorded  amounts  of  goodwill  to  the  estimated  amount  of  undiscounted  cash 
flows.  Accumulated amortization aggregated $110.0 and $128.0 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 

Revenue Recognition: 

The Company recognizes net sales upon shipment of merchandise. Net sales comprise gross revenues less 
expected  returns,  trade  discounts  and  customer  allowances.  The  Company  records  sales  returns  as  a  reduction  to 
sales,  cost  of  sales  and  accounts  receivable  and  an  increase  to  inventory.    Cost  of  sales  includes  the  cost  of 
refurbishment of returned products. 

Income Taxes: 

Income  taxes  are  calculated  using  the  liability  method  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Statement  of 

Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” 

Revlon, Inc., for federal income tax purposes, is included in the affiliated group of which Mafco Holdings is 
the  common  parent,  and  Revlon,  Inc.’s  federal  taxable  income  and  loss  is  included  in  such  group’s  consolidated  tax 
return  filed  by  Mafco  Holdings.  Revlon,  Inc.  also  may  be  included  in  certain  state  and  local  tax  returns  of  Mafco 
Holdings  or  its  subsidiaries.  For  all  periods  presented,  federal,  state  and  local  income  taxes  are  provided  as  if  the 
Company  filed  its  own  income  tax  returns.  On  June  24,  1992,  Holdings  (as  hereinafter  defined),  the  Company  and 
certain of its subsidiaries and Mafco Holdings entered into a tax sharing agreement, which is described in Notes 11 and 
14. 

Pension and Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits: 

The  Company  sponsors  pension  and  other  retirement  plans  in  various  forms  covering  substantially  all 
employees who meet eligibility requirements. For plans in the United States, the minimum amount required pursuant to 
the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act,  as  amended,  is  contributed  annually.  Various  subsidiaries  outside  the 
United States have retirement plans under which funds are deposited with trustees or reserves are provided. 

The  Company  accounts  for  benefits  such  as  severance,  disability  and  health  insurance  provided  to  former 
employees prior to their retirement when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such liability 
can be reasonably estimated. 

Research and Development: 

Research  and  development  expenditures  are  expensed  as  incurred.  The  amounts  charged  against  earnings  in 

2000, 1999 and 1998 were $27.3, $32.9 and $31.9, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation: 

Assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  generally  translated  into  United  States  dollars  at  the  rates  of 
exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are generally 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 sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation by the Company of its 
investment  in  a  foreign  entity.  Foreign  subsidiaries  and  branches  operating  in  hyperinflationary  economies  translate 
nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates and include translation adjustments in the results of operations. 

In  1998,  the  Company’s  operations  in  Mexico  were  accounted  for  as  operating  in  a  hyperinflationary 
economy.  Effective January 1, 1999, the Company’s operations in Mexico have been accounted for as operating in a 
non-hyperinflationary  economy.    The  impact  of  the  change  in  accounting  for  Mexico  was  not  material  to  the 
Company’s operating results in 1999. 

Sale of Subsidiary Stock: 

The  Company  recognizes  gains  and  losses  on  sales  of  subsidiary  stock  in  its  Consolidated  Statements  of 

Operations. 

Basic and Diluted (Loss) Income per Common Share and Classes of Stock: 

The basic (loss) income per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of 
shares of common stock outstanding during each of the periods presented.  Diluted (loss) income per common share 
has  been  computed  based  upon  the  weighted  average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  outstanding.    The 
Company’s outstanding stock options represent the only potential dilutive common stock outstanding.  The number 
of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share was the same in each period presented, 
as  it  does  not  include  any  incremental  shares  that  would  have  been  outstanding  assuming  the  exercise  of  stock 
options because the effect of those incremental shares would have been antidilutive.  For each period presented, the 
amount of loss used in the calculation of diluted loss per common share was the same as the amount of loss used in 
the calculation of basic loss per common share. 

The Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and the 
Revlon, Inc. Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) (collectively with the 
Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) vote as a single class on all matters, except as otherwise required by 
law,  with  each  share  of  Class  A  Common  Stock  entitling  its  holder  to  one  vote  and  each  share  of  the  Class  B 
Common  Stock  entitling  its  holder  to  ten  votes.    All  of  the  shares  of  Class  B  Common  Stock  are  owned  by  REV 
Holdings  Inc.  (“REV  Holdings”),  an  indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Mafco  Holdings.  Mafco  Holdings 
beneficially  owns  shares  of  Common  Stock  having  approximately  97.3%  of  the  combined  voting  power  of  the 
outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock.  The  holders  of  the  Company’s  two  classes of common stock are entitled to 
share equally in the earnings of the Company from dividends, when and if declared by the Board.  Each outstanding 
share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock. 

The  Company  designated  1,000  shares  of  Preferred  Stock  as  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock,  of  which  546 
shares are outstanding and held by REV Holdings.  The holder of Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive 
any dividends.  The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share before any 
distribution is made to the holders of Common Stock.  The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock does not have any 
voting  rights,  except  as  required  by  law.    The  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  may  be  redeemed  at  any  time  by  the 
Company,  at  its  option,  for  $100,000  per  share.    However,  the  terms  of  Products  Corporation’s  various  debt 
agreements currently restrict Revlon, Inc.’s ability to effect such redemption by generally restricting the amount of 
dividends or distributions Products Corporation can pay to Revlon, Inc.

Stock-Based Compensation: 

SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” encourages, but does not require companies to 
record  compensation  cost  for  stock-based  employee  compensation  plans  at  fair  value.    The  Company  has  chosen  to 
account for stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board 
(“APB”)  Opinion  No.  25,  “Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees,”  and  related  interpretations  including  FASB 
Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB 
No. 25” issued in March 2000.  Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees is measured as 
the  excess,  if  any,  of  the  quoted  market  price  of  the  Company’s  stock  at  the  date  of  the  grant  over  the  amount  an 
employee must pay to acquire the stock.  (See Note 13). 

Derivative Financial Instruments:  

Derivative financial instruments, such as forward exchange and option contracts, are utilized from time to 
time  by  the  Company  to  reduce  interest  rate  and  foreign  exchange  risks.    The  Company  maintains  a  control 
environment, which includes policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring 
of derivative financial instrument activities.  The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for 
trading purposes. 

The differentials to be received or paid under interest rate contracts designated as hedges are recognized in 
income over the life of the contracts as adjustments to interest expense.  Gains and losses on terminations of interest 
rate contracts designated as hedges are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the 
original  contracts  or  until  repayment  of  the  hedged  indebtedness.    Unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  outstanding 
contracts designated as hedges are not recognized. 

To  qualify  for  hedge  accounting,  a  contract  must  meet  defined  correlation  and  effectiveness  criteria,  be 
designated  as  a  hedge  and  result  in  cash  flows  and  financial  statement  effects  that  substantially  offset  those  of  the 
position  being  hedged.    Derivative  financial  instruments  that  the  Company  temporarily  continues  to  hold  after  the 
early  termination  of  a  hedged  position,  or  that  otherwise  no  longer  qualify  for  hedge  accounting,  are  marked-to-
market,  with  gains  and  losses  recognized  in  the  Company’s  Statements  of  Operations  after  the  termination  or 
disqualification.  Gains and losses on contracts designated to hedge identifiable foreign currency commitments are 
deferred and accounted for as part of the related foreign currency transaction.  Transaction gains and losses have not 
been material. 

In June 1998 and June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and 
Hedging  Activities”  and  SFAS  No.  138,  “Accounting  for  Certain  Derivative  Instruments  and  Certain  Hedging 
Activities  (an  amendment  of  FASB  Statement  No.  133).”    These  statements  establish  accounting  and  reporting 
standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability 
measured  at  its  fair  value.    SFAS  Nos.  133  and  138  also  require  that  changes  in  the  derivative’s  fair  value  be 
recognized  currently  in  earnings  unless  specific  hedge  accounting  criteria  are  met.    SFAS  Nos.  133  and  138  are 
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 on January 1, 2001 
did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

Advertising and Promotion: 

Costs associated with advertising and promotion are expensed in the year incurred.  Advertising and promotion 

expenses were $290.9, $411.8 and $422.9 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 

Distribution Costs: 

Costs, such as freight and handling costs, associated with distribution are expensed within selling, general and 
administrative  expenses  when  incurred.    Distribution  costs  were  $78.3,  $102.7  and  $112.8  for  2000,  1999  and  1998, 
respectively.

2. Restructuring Costs and Other, Net 

Since  1998,  the  Company  has  been  continuously  evaluating  its  organizational  structure  and  has 

implemented a number of restructuring plans. 

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  1998,  the  Company  executed  a  plan  to  realign  and  reduce  personnel,  exit  excess 
leased real estate, realign and consolidate regional activities, reconfigure certain manufacturing operations and exit 
certain product lines (the “1998 Restructuring Plan”).  The cost of the 1998 Restructuring Plan resulted in a charge 
of $44.2 in 1998 and an additional net charge of $20.5 through the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, 
principally  for  employee  severance  and  other  personnel  benefits  and  obligations  for  excess  leased  real  estate 
primarily in the United States. In 1999, the Company exited a non-core business for which it recorded a charge of 
$1.6, which was included in restructuring costs and other, net.  In 1998, the Company recognized $8.4 of gains on 
sales of certain non-core assets. 

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  1999,  the  Company  began  a  new  restructuring  program  principally  for  additional 
employee  severance  and  other  personnel  benefits  and  to  restructure  certain  operations  outside  the  United  States, 
including  certain  operations  in  Japan  (the  “1999  Restructuring  Plan”).    The  cost  of  the  1999  Restructuring  Plan 
resulted in a charge of $18.1 in the fourth quarter of 1999. In the first half of 2000, the Company recorded a charge 
of $14.6 relating to the 1999 Restructuring Plan. 

During the third quarter of 2000, the Company continued to re-evaluate its organizational structure.  As part 
of this re-evaluation, the Company developed a new restructuring plan designed to improve profitability by reducing 
personnel and consolidating manufacturing facilities (the “2000 Restructuring Plan”).  The 2000 Restructuring Plan 
focused on the Company’s plans to close its manufacturing operations in Phoenix, Arizona and Mississauga, Canada 
and to consolidate its production into its plant in Oxford, North Carolina.  The 2000 Restructuring Plan also includes 
the remaining obligation for excess leased real estate in the Company’s headquarters, consolidation costs associated 
with  the  Company  closing  its  facility  in  New  Zealand,  and  the  elimination  of  several  domestic  and  international 
executive and operational positions, both of which were effected to reduce and streamline corporate overhead costs.  
In the third and fourth quarters of 2000, the Company recorded charges of $13.7 and $25.8, respectively, related to 
the  2000  Restructuring  Plan,  principally  for  additional  employee  severance  and  other  personnel  benefits  and  to 
consolidate worldwide operations.  

In  connection  with  the  1998  Restructuring  Plan,  the  1999  Restructuring  Plan  and  the  2000  Restructuring 
Plan,  1,213  employees,  403  employees  and  1,697  employees,  respectively,  were  included  in  the  Company’s 
restructuring charges.  Of the 1,697 employees for whom severance and other personnel benefits were included in the 
restructuring charges in 2000, the Company had terminated 380 employees by December 31, 2000. All employees 
from the 1998 Restructuring Plan and substantially all the employees from the 1999 Restructuring Plan have been 
terminated as of December 31, 2000. 

The cash and noncash elements of the restructuring charges recorded in 2000 approximate $53.2 and $0.9, 

respectively, and in 1999 approximated $38.8 and $1.4, respectively.

As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the unpaid balance of the restructuring costs are included in accrued 

expenses and other and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

3. Acquisitions of Businesses and Dispositions of Product Line and Brand 

In  1998,  the  Company  consummated  acquisitions  for  a  combined  purchase  price  of  $62.6,  with  resulting 
goodwill  of  $63.7.    These  acquisitions  were  not  significant  to  the  Company’s  results  of  operations.    There  were  no 
acquisitions made by the Company in 2000 and 1999. 

On March 30, 2000, Products Corporation completed the disposition of its worldwide professional products 
line,  including  professional  hair  care  for  use  in  and  resale  by  professional  salons,  ethnic  hair  and  personal  care 
products, Natural Honey skin care and certain regional toiletries brands, for $315 in cash, before adjustments, plus 
$10 in purchase price payable in the future, contingent upon the purchasers’ achievement of certain rates of return on 
their investment.  The disposition involved the sale of certain of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries throughout the 
world devoted to the professional products line, as well as assets dedicated exclusively or primarily to the lines being 
disposed. The worldwide professional products line was purchased by a company formed by CVC Capital Partners, 
the Colomer family and other investors, led by Carlos Colomer, a former manager of the line that was sold, following 
arms’-length negotiation of the terms of the purchase agreement therefor, including the determination of the amount 
of  the  consideration.    In  connection  with  the  disposition,  the  Company  recognized  a  pre-tax  and  after-tax  gain  of 
$14.8.  Approximately  $150.3  of  the  Net  Proceeds  (as  defined  in  the  Credit  Agreement)  were  used  to  reduce  the 
aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

On May 8, 2000, Products Corporation completed the disposition of the Plusbelle brand in Argentina for 
$46.2 in cash.  Approximately $20.7 of the Net Proceeds were used to reduce the aggregate commitment under the 
Credit Agreement.  In connection with the disposition, the Company recognized a pre-tax and after-tax loss of $4.8. 

The following represents summary unaudited pro forma information of the Company’s results of operations, 
which  excludes  the  results  of  operations  of  the  worldwide  professional  products  line  and  the  Plusbelle  brand  in 
Argentina.

Less current portion........................................................................................................................................................................................

(a)  In  May  1997,  Products  Corporation  entered  into  a  credit  agreement  (as  subsequently  amended,  the 

“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders, whose individual members change from time to time.   

The  Credit  Agreement  provides  up  to  $518.5  at  December  31,  2000  and  consists  of  five  senior  secured 
facilities:  $106.2  in  two  term  loan  facilities  (the  “Term  Loan  Facilities”),  a  $300.0  multi-currency  facility  (the 
“Multi-Currency  Facility”),  and  a  $62.3  revolving  acquisition  facility,  (the  “Acquisition  Facility”),  and  a  $50.0 
special standby letter of credit facility (the “Special LC Facility”) (the “Special LC Facility” and together with the 
Term  Loan  Facilities,  the  Multi-Currency  Facility  and  the  Acquisition  Facility,  the  “Credit  Facilities”).    The 
Company under certain circumstances and with the consent of a majority of the lenders may increase the Acquisition 
Facility  to  $262.3.    The  Multi-Currency  Facility  is  available  (i)  to  Products  Corporation  in  revolving  credit  loans 
denominated in U.S. dollars (the “Revolving Credit Loans”), (ii) to Products Corporation in standby and commercial 
letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars (the “Operating Letters of Credit”) and (iii) to Products Corporation and 
certain  of  its  international  subsidiaries  designated  from  time  to  time  in  revolving  credit  loans  and  bankers’ 
acceptances  denominated  in  U.S.  dollars  and  other  currencies  (the  “Local  Loans”).    At  December  31,  2000  and 
1999, Products Corporation had approximately $106.2 and $198.0, respectively, outstanding under the Term Loan 
Facilities,  $221.2  and  $235.2,  respectively,  outstanding  under  the  Multi-Currency  Facility,  $62.3  and  $155.0, 
respectively,  outstanding  under  the  Acquisition  Facility  and  $22.6  and  $29.8,  respectively,  of  issued  but  undrawn

letters of credit under the Special LC Facility.  The scheduled reductions of the Acquisition Facility are $48.8 during 
2001. The balance of the Acquisition Facility, along with the Term Loan Facilities, the Multi-Currency Facility and 
the Special LC Facility mature in May 2002. 

The Credit Facilities (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear interest as of December 31, 2000 at a rate 
equal to, at Products Corporation’s option, either (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.50% (or 3.50% for Local Loans); or 
(B) the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.50%.  Loans in foreign currencies bear interest as of December 31, 2000 at a rate equal to 
the  Eurocurrency  Rate  or,  in  the  case  of  Local  Loans,  the  local  lender  rate,  in  each  case  plus  3.50%.    Products 
Corporation pays the lender a commitment fee as of December 31, 2000 of 1/2 of 1% of the unused portion of the Credit 
Facilities. Under the Multi-Currency Facility, the Company pays the lenders an administrative fee of 1/4% per annum on 
the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans.  Products Corporation also paid certain facility and other fees 
to the lenders and agents upon closing of the Credit Agreement. Prior to its termination date, the commitments under the 
Credit Facilities will be reduced by: (i) the net proceeds in excess of $10.0 each year received during such year from 
sales of assets by Holdings (or certain of its subsidiaries), Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (and $25.0 in 
the aggregate during the term with respect to certain specified dispositions), subject to certain limited exceptions, (ii) 
certain proceeds from the sales of collateral security granted to the lenders, (iii) the net proceeds from the issuance by 
Products Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt, (iv) 50% of the excess cash flow of Products 
Corporation and its subsidiaries (unless certain leverage ratios are attained) and (v) certain scheduled reductions in the 
case of the Term Loan Facilities, which commenced on May 31, 1998, in the aggregate amount of $1.0 annually over 
the remaining life of the Credit Agreement, and in the case of the Acquisition Facility which commenced on December 
31, 1999, in the amount of $25.0 and, as of December 31, 2000, in the amounts of $32.4 during 2000, $48.8 during 
2001 and the balance at maturity in May 2002 after giving effect to commitment reductions resulting from the sale of the 
worldwide professional products line and the Plusbelle brand in Argentina. The Credit Agreement will terminate on May 
30,  2002.    The  weighted  average  interest  rates  on  the  Term  Loan  Facilities,  the  Multi-Currency  Facility  and  the 
Acquisition  Facility  were  10.2%,  9.7%  and  10.3%  at  December  31,  2000,  respectively,  9.9%,  8.1%  and  9.8%  at 
December 31, 1999, respectively, and 8.1%, 9.2% and 8.7% at December 31, 1998, respectively. 

The Credit Facilities, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, are supported by guarantees from Revlon 
Holdings  Inc.,  the  Company’s  indirect  parent,  (“Holdings”)  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries,  Revlon,  Inc.,  Products 
Corporation and the domestic subsidiaries of Products Corporation.  The obligations of Products Corporation under the 
Credit Facilities and the obligations under the aforementioned guarantees are secured, subject to certain limitations, by 
(i) a mortgage on Products Corporation’s Phoenix, Arizona facility and a mortgage on Products Corporation’s facility in 
Oxford,  North  Carolina  (which  has  been  put  in  place  pursuant  to  the  Seventh  Amendment);  (ii)  the  capital  stock  of 
Products Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries, 66% of the capital stock of its first tier foreign subsidiaries and the 
capital  stock  of  certain  subsidiaries  of  Holdings;  (iii)  domestic  intellectual  property  and  certain  other  domestic 
intangibles  of  (A)  Products  Corporation  and  its  domestic  subsidiaries  and  (B)  certain  subsidiaries  of  Holdings;  (iv) 
domestic inventory and accounts receivable of (A) Products Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries and (B) certain 
subsidiaries of Holdings; and (v) the assets of certain foreign subsidiary borrowers under the Multi-Currency Facility (to 
support  their  borrowings  only).    The  Credit  Agreement  provides  that  the  liens  on  the  stock  and  personal  property 
referred to above may be shared from time to time with specified types of other obligations incurred or guaranteed by 
Products Corporation, such as interest rate hedging obligations and working capital lines. 

The  Credit  Agreement  contains  various  material  restrictive  covenants  prohibiting  Products  Corporation 
from (i) incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees, with certain exceptions, (ii) making dividend, tax sharing 
and  other  payments  or  loans  to  Revlon,  Inc.  or  other  affiliates,  with  certain  exceptions,  including  among  others, 
permitting  Products  Corporation  to  pay  dividends  and  make  distributions  to  Revlon,  Inc.,  among  other  things,  to 
enable  Revlon,  Inc.  to  pay  expenses  incidental  to  being  a  public  holding  company,  including,  among  other  things, 
professional  fees  such  as  legal  and  accounting,  regulatory  fees  such  as  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission 
(“Commission”) filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding company, and to pay 
dividends  or  make  distributions  in  certain  circumstances  to  finance  the  purchase  by  Revlon,  Inc.  of  its  Class  A 
Common  Stock  in  connection  with  the  delivery  of  such  common  stock  to  grantees  under  any  stock  option  plan, 
provided that the aggregate amount of such dividends and distributions taken together with any purchases of Revlon, 
Inc. common stock on the market to satisfy matching obligations under an excess savings plan may not exceed $6.0 
per annum, (iii) creating liens or other encumbrances on their assets or revenues, granting negative pledges or selling 
or transferring any of their assets except in the ordinary course of business, all subject to certain limited exceptions, 
(iv) with certain exceptions, engaging in merger or acquisition transactions, (v) prepaying indebtedness, subject to 

F-15 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
certain limited exceptions, (vi) making investments, subject to certain limited exceptions, and as described below and 
(vii)  entering  into  transactions  with  affiliates  of  Products  Corporation  other  than  upon  terms  no  less  favorable  to 
Products  Corporation  or  its  subsidiaries  than  it  would  obtain  in  an  arms’-length  transaction.  In  addition  to  the 
foregoing, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring Products Corporation to maintain minimum 
cumulative EBITDA for each quarter end during 2001, minimum interest coverage in 2002, covenants that limit the 
leverage ratio of Products Corporation in 2002, and covenants that limit the amount of capital expenditures. 

The  events  of  default  under  the  Credit  Agreement  include  a  Change  of  Control  (as  defined  in  the  Credit 

Agreement) of Products Corporation and other customary events of default for such types of agreements.  

On  November  10,  1999,  the  Credit  Agreement  was  amended  to  (i)  eliminate  the  interest  coverage  ratio  and 
leverage  ratio  covenants  from  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1999  through  the  year  2000  and  to  modify  those 
covenants  for  the  years 2001  and  2002;  (ii)  add  a  minimum  EBITDA  covenant  for  each  quarter  end  during  the  year 
2000;  (iii)  limit  the  amount  that  Products  Corporation  may  spend  for  capital  expenditures  and  investments  including 
acquisitions; (iv) permit the sale of Products Corporation's worldwide professional products line and its non-core Latin 
American brands, Colorama, Juvena, Bozzano and Plusbelle (such sales, the "Asset Sales"); (v) change the reduction of 
the aggregate commitment that is required upon consummation of any Asset Sale to an amount equal to 60% of the Net 
Proceeds  (as  defined  in  the  Credit  Agreement)  from  such  Asset  Sale  as  opposed  to  100%  of  such  Net  Proceeds  as 
provided under the Credit Agreement prior to the amendment; (vi) increase the “applicable margin” by 3/4  of 1%; and 
(vii) permit the amendment of a yen-denominated credit agreement (the “Yen Credit Agreement”).  On March 30, 2000, 
approximately 60% of the $250.5 in Net Proceeds (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement) from the sale of its 
worldwide  professional  products  line  was  used  to  permanently  reduce  the  aggregate  commitment  under  the  Credit 
Agreement. On May 8, 2000, approximately 60% of the $34.5 in Net Proceeds from the sale of the Plusbelle brand in 
Argentina were used to permanently reduce the aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement.  

In January 2001 (effective December 31, 2000), Products Corporation and its bank lenders entered into an 
amendment  to  the  Credit  Agreement,  effective  December  31,  2000  to  (i)  eliminate  the  interest  coverage  ratio  and 
leverage  ratio  covenants  for  2001;  (ii)  add  a  minimum  cumulative  EBITDA  covenant  for  each  quarter  end  during 
2001;  (iii)  modify  the  definition  of  EBITDA  beginning  with  the  quarterly  period  ended  December  31,  2000;  (iv) 
limit  the  amount  that  Products  Corporation  may  spend  for  capital  expenditures;  (v)  permit  the  sale  of  certain  of 
Products  Corporation's  non-core  assets;  (vi)  permit  Products  Corporation  to  retain  100%  of  the  Net  Proceeds  (as 
defined  in  the  Credit  Agreement)  from  such  asset  sales;  (vii)  increase  the  "applicable  margin"  by  1/2  of  1%;  and 
(viii) require Products Corporation to provide a mortgage on its facility in Oxford, North Carolina as security for its 
obligations under the Credit Agreement. 

(b) The Pacific Finance & Development Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Products Corporation, was the 
borrower under the Yen Credit Agreement.  In March 2000, the outstanding balance under the Yen Credit Agreement 
was repaid in accordance with its terms. 

(c)  The  8  1/8%  Notes  due  2006  (the  “8  1/8%  Notes”)  are  senior  unsecured  obligations  of  Products 
Corporation  and  rank  pari  passu  in  right  of  payment  with  all  existing  and  future  Senior  Debt  (as  defined  in  the 
indenture relating to the 8 1/8% Notes (the “8 1/8% Notes Indenture”)) of Products Corporation, including the 9% 
Notes  and  the  indebtedness  under  the  Credit  Agreement,  and  are  senior  to  the  8  5/8%  Notes  and  to  all  future 
subordinated  indebtedness  of  Products  Corporation.    The  8  1/8%  Notes  are  effectively  subordinated  to  the 
outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries.  Interest is payable on February 
1 and August 1. 

The 8 1/8% Notes may be redeemed at the option of Products Corporation in whole or from time to time in 
part at any time on or after February 1, 2002 at the redemption prices set forth in the 8 1/8% Notes Indenture plus 
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. 

Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the 8 1/8% Notes Indenture), Products Corporation will have the 
option  to  redeem  the  8  1/8%  Notes  in  whole  at  a  redemption  price  equal  to  the  principal  amount  thereof,  plus 
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of redemption plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the 
8 1/8% Notes Indenture) and, subject to certain conditions, each holder of the 8 1/8% Notes will have the right to 

F-16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
require Products Corporation to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s 8 1/8% Notes at a price equal to 101% 
of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase. 

The 8 1/8% Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit (i) the issuance of additional 
debt  and  redeemable  stock  by  Products  Corporation,  (ii)  the  incurrence  of  liens,  (iii)  the  issuance  of  debt  and 
preferred stock by Products Corporation’s subsidiaries, (iv) the payment of dividends on capital stock of Products 
Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  and  the  redemption  of  capital  stock  of  Products  Corporation  and  certain 
subordinated  obligations,  (v)  the  sale  of  assets  and  subsidiary  stock,  (vi)  transactions  with  affiliates  and  (vii) 
consolidations,  mergers  and  transfers  of  all  or  substantially  all  Products  Corporation’s  assets.    The  8  1/8%  Notes 
Indenture  also  prohibits  certain  restrictions  on  distributions  from  subsidiaries.    All  of  these  limitations  and 
prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of important qualifications. 

(d)  The  9%  Senior  Notes  due  2006  (the  “9%  Notes”)  are  senior  unsecured  obligations  of  Products 
Corporation  and  rank  pari  passu  in  right  of  payment  with  all  existing  and  future  Senior  Debt  (as  defined  in  the 
indenture relating to the 9% Notes (the “9% Notes Indenture”)) of Products Corporation, including the 8 1/8% Notes 
and the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, and are senior to the 8 5/8% Notes and to all future subordinated 
indebtedness of Products Corporation.  The 9% Notes are effectively subordinated to outstanding indebtedness and 
other liabilities of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries. Interest is payable on May 1 and November 1. 

The 9% Notes may be redeemed at the option of Products Corporation in whole or from time to time in part 
at any time on or after November 1, 2002 at the redemption prices set forth in the 9% Notes Indenture plus accrued 
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.  In addition, at any time prior to November 1, 2001, Products 
Corporation  may  redeem  up  to  35%  of  the  aggregate  principal  amount  of  the  9%  Notes  originally  issued  at  a 
redemption price of 109% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the 
date  fixed  for  redemption,  with,  and  to  the  extent  Products  Corporation  receives,  the  net  cash  proceeds  of  one  or 
more  Public  Equity  Offerings  (as  defined  in  the  9%  Notes  Indenture),  provided  that  at  least  $162.5  aggregate 
principal amount of the 9% Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption. 

Upon  a  Change  in  Control  (as  defined  in  the  9%  Notes  Indenture),  Products  Corporation  will  have  the 
option to redeem the 9% Notes in whole at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued 
and  unpaid  interest,  if  any,  thereon  to  the  date  of  redemption  plus  the  Applicable  Premium  (as  defined  in  the  9% 
Notes  Indenture)  and,  subject  to  certain  conditions,  each  holder  of  the  9%  Notes  will  have  the  right  to  require 
Products  Corporation  to  repurchase  all  or  a  portion  of  such  holder’s  9%  Notes  at  a  price  equal  to  101%  of  the 
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase. 

The  9%  Notes  Indenture  contains  covenants  that,  among  other  things,  limit  (i)  the  issuance  of  additional 
debt  and  redeemable  stock  by  Products  Corporation,  (ii)  the  incurrence  of  liens,  (iii)  the  issuance  of  debt  and 
preferred stock by Products Corporation’s subsidiaries, (iv) the payment of dividends on capital stock of Products 
Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  and  the  redemption  of  capital  stock  of  Products  Corporation  and  certain 
subordinated  obligations,  (v)  the  sale  of  assets  and  subsidiary  stock,  (vi)  transactions  with  affiliates  and  (vii) 
consolidations,  mergers  and  transfers  of  all  or  substantially  all  Products  Corporation’s  assets.    The  9%  Notes 
Indenture  also  prohibits  certain  restrictions  on  distributions  from  subsidiaries.    All  of  these  limitations  and 
prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of important qualifications. 

(e)  The  8  5/8%  Notes  due  2008  (the  “8  5/8%  Notes”)  are  general  unsecured  obligations  of  Products 
Corporation  and  are  (i)  subordinate  in  right  of  payment  to  all  existing  and  future  Senior  Debt  (as  defined  in  the 
indenture relating to the 8 5/8% Notes (the “8 5/8% Notes Indenture”)) of Products Corporation, including the 9% 
Notes, the 8 1/8% Notes and the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, (ii) pari passu in right of payment with all 
future  senior  subordinated  debt,  if  any,  of  Products  Corporation  and  (iii)  senior  in  right  of  payment  to  all  future 
subordinated  debt,  if  any,  of  Products  Corporation.    The  8  5/8%  Notes  are  effectively  subordinated  to  the 
outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities of Products Corporation’s subsidiaries.  Interest is payable on February 
1 and August 1. 

The 8 5/8% Notes may be redeemed at the option of Products Corporation in whole or from time to time in 
part at any time on or after February 1, 2003 at the redemption prices set forth in the 8 5/8% Notes Indenture plus 
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the 8 5/8% Notes Indenture), Products Corporation will have the 
option  to  redeem  the  8  5/8%  Notes  in  whole  at  a  redemption  price  equal  to  the  principal  amount  thereof,  plus 
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of redemption plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the 
8 5/8% Notes Indenture) and, subject to certain conditions, each holder of the 8 5/8% Notes will have the right to 
require Products Corporation to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s 8 5/8% Notes at a price equal to 101% 
of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase. 

The 8 5/8% Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit (i) the issuance of additional 
debt  and  redeemable  stock  by  Products  Corporation,  (ii)  the  incurrence  of  liens,  (iii)  the  issuance  of  debt  and 
preferred stock by Products Corporation’s subsidiaries, (iv) the payment of dividends on capital stock of Products 
Corporation and its subsidiaries and the redemption of capital stock of Products Corporation, (v) the sale of assets 
and subsidiary stock, (vi) transactions with affiliates, (vii) consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially 
all of Products Corporation’s assets and (viii) the issuance of additional subordinated debt that is senior in right of 
payment to the 8 5/8% Notes.  The 8 5/8% Notes Indenture also prohibits certain restrictions on distributions from 
subsidiaries.  All of these limitations and prohibitions, however, are subject to a number of important qualifications. 

The 8 1/8% Notes Indenture, the 8 5/8% Notes Indenture and the 9% Notes Indenture contain customary 

events of default for debt instruments of such type.  

(f)  During  1992,  Holdings  made  an  advance  of  $25.0  to  Products  Corporation,  evidenced  by  subordinated 
noninterest-bearing demand notes.  The notes were subsequently adjusted by offsets and additional amounts loaned by 
Holdings to Products Corporation.  In 1998, approximately $6.8 due to Products Corporation from Holdings was offset 
against the notes payable to Holdings.  At December 31, 2000, the balance of $24.1 is evidenced by noninterest-bearing 
promissory  notes  payable  to  Holdings  that  are  subordinated  to  Products  Corporation’s  obligations  under  the  Credit 
Agreement.  

(g) Products Corporation borrows funds from its affiliates from time to time to supplement its working capital 
borrowings.    No  such  borrowings  were  outstanding  as  of  December  31,  2000  or  1999.    The  interest  rates  for  such 
borrowings  are  more  favorable  to  Products  Corporation  than  interest  rates  under  the  Credit  Agreement  and,  for 
borrowings occurring prior to the execution of the Credit Agreement, the credit facilities in effect at the time of such 
borrowing.  The amount of interest paid by Products Corporation for such borrowings for 2000, 1999 and 1998 was nil, 
$0.5 and $0.8, respectively. 

The aggregate amounts of long-term debt maturities (at December 31, 2000), in the years 2001 through 2005 

are nil, $413.8, nil, nil and nil, respectively, and $1,149.3 thereafter. 

The Company expects that cash flows from operations, net proceeds from the sale of certain non-core assets (or 
financial  support  from  an  affiliate,  if  such  asset  sales  are  not  completed  on  a  timely  basis)  and  borrowings  under  the 
Credit Agreement will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated cash requirements during 2001 on a 
consolidated  basis,  including  for  debt  service  and  expenses  in  connection  with  the  Company’s  restructuring  plans.  
However, there can be no assurance that the combination of cash flow from operations, net proceeds from the sale of 
certain non-core assets (or from such financial support) and borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to 
meet  the  Company's  cash  requirements  on  a  consolidated  basis.  If  the  Company  is  unable  to  satisfy  such  cash 
requirements, the Company could be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying purchases 
of permanent displays, reducing or delaying capital expenditures, delaying or revising restructuring plans, restructuring 
indebtedness, selling additional assets or operations, or seeking capital contributions or additional loans from affiliates 
of  the  Company  or  issuing  additional  shares  of  capital  stock  of  Revlon,  Inc.    Products  Corporation  has  received  a 
commitment  from  an  affiliate  that  is  prepared  to  provide,  if  necessary,  additional  financial  support  to  Products 
Corporation of up to $40 on appropriate terms through December 31, 2001.

10. Financial Instruments 

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same 
issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The estimated fair value 
of long-term debt at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $393.6 and $444.2 less than the carrying values of 
$1,563.1 and $1,772.1, respectively.  Because considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop 
estimates of fair value, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid 
in  a  current  market  exchange.  The  effect  of  using  different  market  assumptions  or  estimation  methodologies  may  be 
material to the estimated fair value amounts. 

Products Corporation also maintains standby and trade letters of credit with certain banks for various corporate 
purposes under which Products Corporation is obligated, of which approximately $23.1 and $30.5 (including amounts 
available under credit agreements in effect at that time) were maintained at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 
Included  in  these  amounts  are  $14.2  and  $25.7,  respectively,  in  standby  letters  of  credit,  which  support  Products 
Corporation’s  self-insurance  programs.    The  estimated  liability  under  such  programs  is  accrued  by  Products 
Corporation. 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, notes receivable, 

accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. 

11. Income Taxes  

In  June  1992,  Holdings,  Revlon,  Inc.  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries,  and  Mafco  Holdings  entered  into  a  tax 
sharing agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Tax Sharing Agreement”), pursuant to which Mafco Holdings has 
agreed to indemnify Revlon, Inc. against federal, state or local income tax liabilities of the consolidated or combined 
group of which Mafco Holdings (or a subsidiary of Mafco Holdings other than Revlon, Inc. or its subsidiaries) is the 
common parent for taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 1992 during which Revlon, Inc. or a subsidiary of 
Revlon, Inc. is a member of such group. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, for all taxable periods beginning on or 
after January 1, 1992, Revlon, Inc. will pay to Holdings amounts equal to the taxes that Revlon, Inc. would otherwise 
have to pay if it were to file separate federal, state or local income tax returns (including any amounts determined to be 
due  as  a  result  of  a  redetermination  arising  from  an  audit  or  otherwise  of  the  consolidated  or  combined  tax  liability 
relating to any such period which is attributable to Revlon, Inc.), except that Revlon, Inc. will not be entitled to carry 
back any losses to taxable periods ending prior to January 1, 1992.  No payments are required by Revlon, Inc. if and to 
the extent Products Corporation is prohibited under the Credit Agreement from making tax sharing payments to Revlon, 
Inc.  The Credit Agreement prohibits Products Corporation from making such tax sharing payments other than in respect 
of state and local income taxes. Since the payments to be made under the Tax Sharing Agreement will be determined by 
the amount of taxes that Revlon, Inc. would otherwise have to pay if it were to file separate federal, state or local income 
tax returns, the Tax Sharing Agreement will benefit Mafco Holdings to the extent Mafco Holdings can offset the taxable 
income generated by Revlon, Inc. against losses and tax credits generated by Mafco Holdings and its other subsidiaries.  
The  Tax  Sharing  Agreement  was  amended  to  eliminate  a  contingent  payment  to  Revlon,  Inc.  under  certain 
circumstances in return for a $10 note with interest at 12% and interest and principal payable by Mafco Holdings on 
December 31, 2005.  As a result of net operating tax losses and prohibitions under the Credit Agreement there were no 
federal tax payments or payments in lieu of taxes pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement for 2000, 1999 or 1998.  The 
Company has a liability of $0.9 to Holdings in respect of federal taxes for 1997 under the Tax Sharing Agreement.   

Pursuant to the asset transfer agreement referred to in Note 14, Products Corporation assumed all tax liabilities 
of  Holdings  other  than  (i)  certain  income  tax  liabilities  arising  prior  to  January  1,  1992  to  the  extent  such  liabilities 
exceeded reserves on Holdings’ books as of January 1, 1992 or were not of the nature reserved for and (ii) other tax 
liabilities to the extent such liabilities are related to the business and assets retained by Holdings.

In  assessing  the  recoverability  of  its  deferred  tax  assets,  management  considers  whether  it  is  more  likely 
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred 
tax  assets  is  dependent  upon  the  generation  of  future  taxable  income  during  the  periods  in  which  those  temporary 
differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected 
future  taxable  income,  and  tax  planning  strategies  in  making  this  assessment.    Based  upon  the  level  of  historical 
taxable income for certain international markets and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which 
the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize 
the benefits of certain deductible differences existing at December 31, 2000.  

The  valuation  allowance  decreased  by  $6.3  during  2000  and  increased  by  $60.8  and  $102.9  during 1999 

and 1998, respectively. 

During 2000, 1999, and 1998, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries used operating loss carryforwards 
to credit the current provision for income taxes by $1.9, $8.8, and $2.4, respectively.  Certain other foreign operations 
generated losses during 2000, 1999 and 1998 for which the potential tax benefit was reduced by a valuation allowance. 
During 1998, the Company used domestic operating loss carryforwards to credit the deferred provision for income taxes 
by $5.3.  At December 31, 2000, the Company had tax loss carryforwards of approximately $999.8 that expire in future 
years as follows: 2001-$17.8; 2002-$33.9; 2003-$20.7; 2004-$27.4; 2005 and beyond-$749.5; unlimited-$150.5.  The 
Company could receive the benefit  of such tax loss carryforwards only to the extent it has taxable income during the 
carryforward periods in the applicable jurisdictions.  In addition, based upon certain factors, including the amount and 
nature of gains or losses recognized by Mafco Holdings and its other subsidiaries included in the consolidated federal 
income  tax  return,  the  amount  of  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  attributable  to  Mafco  Holdings  and  such  other 
subsidiaries  and  the  amounts  of  alternative  minimum  tax  liability  of  Mafco  Holdings  and  such  other  subsidiaries, 
pursuant to the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, all or a portion of the domestic operating loss carryforwards may 
not be available to the Company should the Company cease being a member of the Mafco Holdings consolidated federal 
income tax return.   

Appropriate United States and foreign income taxes have been accrued on foreign earnings that have been or 
are  expected  to  be  remitted  in  the  near  future.  Unremitted  earnings  of  foreign  subsidiaries  which  have  been,  or  are 
currently intended to be, permanently reinvested in the future growth of the business aggregated approximately $6.3 at 
December  31,  2000,  excluding  those  amounts  which,  if  remitted  in  the  near  future,  would  not  result  in  significant 
additional taxes under tax statutes currently in effect.

12. Postretirement Benefits  

Pension: 

A  substantial  portion  of  the  Company’s  employees  in  the  United  States  are  covered  by  defined  benefit 

pension plans. The Company uses September 30 as its measurement date for plan obligations and assets. 

Other Postretirement Benefits: 

The Company also has sponsored an unfunded retiree benefit plan, which provides death benefits payable to 
beneficiaries  of  certain  key  employees  and  former  employees.    Participation  in  this  plan  is  limited  to  participants 
enrolled as of December 31, 1993.  The Company also administers a medical insurance plan on behalf of Holdings, 
the cost of which has been apportioned to Holdings.  The Company uses September 30 as its measurement date for 
plan obligations.

13. Stock Compensation Plan 

Since  March  5,  1996,  Revlon,  Inc.  has  had  a  stock-based  compensation  plan  as  subsequently  amended  and 
restated (the “Plan”), which is described below.  Revlon, Inc. applies APB Opinion No. 25 and its related interpretations 
in accounting for the Plan. Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of Revlon, Inc.’s employee stock 
options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation cost has been recognized.  
Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, Revlon, Inc.’s net loss and net loss 
per diluted share of $130.6 and $2.54, respectively, for 2000, $371.5 and $7.25, respectively, for 1999, and $143.2 and 
$2.80,  respectively,  for  1998  would  have  been  changed  to  the  pro  forma  amounts  of  $141.6  and  $2.76  for  2000, 
respectively, $397.2 and $7.75 for 1999, respectively, and $166.8 and $3.25, respectively, for 1998.  The fair value of 
each  option  grant  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  the  grant  using  the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model  assuming  no 
dividend yield, expected volatility of approximately 69% in 2000, 68% in 1999, and 56% in 1998; weighted average 
risk-free interest rate of 6.53% in 2000, 5.48% in 1999, and 5.37% in 1998; and a seven year expected average life for 
the Plan’s options issued in 2000, 1999 and 1998.  The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure 
are not necessarily indicative of future amounts. 

Under the Plan, awards may be granted to employees and directors of Revlon, Inc. for up to an aggregate of 
7.0 million shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock.  Non-qualified options granted under the Plan have a term

of 10 years during which the holder can purchase shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock at an exercise price, 
which must be not less than the market price on the date of the grant.  Option grants vest over service periods that 
range from one to five years, except as disclosed below.  Options granted in February 1999 with an original four-
year vesting term were modified in May 1999 to allow the options to become fully vested on the first anniversary 
date of the grant.  Options granted in May 2000 under the Plan vest 25% on each anniversary of the grant date and 
will  become  100%  vested  on  the  fourth  anniversary  of  the  grant  date;  provided  that  an  additional  25%  of  such 
options would vest on each subsequent anniversary date of the grant if the Company achieved certain performance 
objectives  relating  to  the  Company’s  operating  income  for  the  fiscal  year  preceding  such  anniversary  date,  which 
objectives were not achieved in 2000.  During each of 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company granted to Mr. Perelman, 
Chairman of the Executive Committee, options to purchase 300,000 shares of Revlon, Inc. Class A Common Stock, 
which grants  will vest in full on the fifth anniversary of the grant dates as to the 2000 and 1998 grants and which 
vested 100% on the date of grant as to the 1999 grant. At December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 there were 3,009,908, 
1,850,050 and 403,950 options exercisable under the Plan, respectively.

14. Related Party Transactions 

Transfer Agreements 

In June 1992, Revlon, Inc. and Products Corporation entered into an asset transfer agreement with Holdings 
and  certain  of  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (the  "Asset  Transfer  Agreement"),  and  Revlon,  Inc.  and  Products 
Corporation  entered  into  a  real  property  asset  transfer  agreement  with  Holdings  (the  "Real  Property  Transfer 
Agreement"  and,  together  with  the  Asset  Transfer  Agreement,  the  "Transfer  Agreements"),  and  pursuant  to  such 
agreements, on June 24, 1992 Holdings transferred assets to Products Corporation and Products Corporation assumed 
all the liabilities of Holdings, other than certain specifically excluded assets and liabilities (the liabilities excluded are 
referred  to  as  the  "Excluded  Liabilities").  Certain  consumer  products  lines  sold  in  demonstrator  assisted  distribution 
channels considered not integral to the Company's business and which historically had not been profitable (the "Retained 
Brands") and certain of the assets and liabilities were retained by Holdings. Holdings agreed to indemnify Revlon, Inc. 
and  Products  Corporation  against  losses  arising  from  the  Excluded  Liabilities,  and  Revlon,  Inc.  and  Products 
Corporation agreed to indemnify Holdings against losses arising from the liabilities assumed by Products Corporation.  
The  amounts  reimbursed  by  Holdings  to  Products  Corporation  for  the  Excluded Liabilities  for  2000,  1999  and  1998 
were $0.4, $0.5 and $0.6, respectively. 

Certain  assets  and  liabilities  relating  to  divested  businesses  were  transferred  to  Products  Corporation  on  the 
transfer date and any remaining balances as of December 31 of the applicable year have been reflected in the Company’s 
Consolidated  Balance  Sheets  as  of  such  dates.    At  December  31,  2000  and  1999,  the  amounts  reflected  in  the 
Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets aggregated a net liability of $23.2 and $23.6, respectively, of which $4.8 and 
$5.2, respectively, are included in accrued expenses and other and $18.4 is included in other long-term liabilities as of 
both dates. 

Reimbursement Agreements 

Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and MacAndrews Holdings have entered into reimbursement agreements 
(the  "Reimbursement  Agreements")  pursuant  to  which  (i)  MacAndrews  Holdings  is  obligated  to  provide  (directly  or 
through  affiliates)  certain  professional  and  administrative  services,  including  employees,  to  Revlon,  Inc.  and  its 
subsidiaries, including Products Corporation, and purchase services from third party providers, such as insurance and 
legal  and  accounting  services,  on  behalf  of  Revlon,  Inc.  and  its  subsidiaries,  including  Products  Corporation,  to  the 
extent requested by Products Corporation, and (ii) Products Corporation is obligated to provide certain professional and 
administrative services, including employees, to MacAndrews Holdings (and its affiliates) and purchase services from 
third party providers, such as insurance and legal and accounting services, on behalf of MacAndrews Holdings (and its 
affiliates) to the extent requested by MacAndrews Holdings, provided that in each case the performance of such services 
does not cause an unreasonable burden to MacAndrews Holdings or Products Corporation, as the case may be. Products 
Corporation  reimburses  MacAndrews  Holdings  for  the  allocable  costs  of  the  services  purchased  for  or  provided  to 
Products  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  and  for  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  the 

F-25 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
provision of such services. MacAndrews Holdings (or such affiliates) reimburses Products Corporation for the allocable 
costs  of  the  services  purchased  for  or  provided  to  MacAndrews  Holdings  (or  such  affiliates)  and  for  the  reasonable 
out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  the  purchase  or  provision  of  such  services.    The  net  amounts 
reimbursed  by  MacAndrews  Holdings  to  Products  Corporation  for  the  services  provided  under  the  Reimbursement 
Agreements  for  2000,  1999  and  1998,  were  $0.9,  $0.5  and  $3.1,  respectively.    Each  of  Revlon,  Inc.  and  Products 
Corporation,  on  the  one  hand,  and  MacAndrews  Holdings,  on  the  other,  has  agreed  to  indemnify  the  other  party  for 
losses  arising  out  of  the  provision  of  services  by  it  under the  Reimbursement  Agreements  other  than  losses  resulting 
from its willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Reimbursement Agreements may be terminated by either party on 
90 days' notice. Products Corporation does not intend to request services under the Reimbursement Agreements unless 
their costs would be at least as favorable to Products Corporation as could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. 

Tax Sharing Agreement 

Holdings, Revlon, Inc., Products Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries and Mafco Holdings are parties to 
the  Tax  Sharing  Agreement,  which  is  described  in  Note  11.    Since  payments  to  be  made  under  the  Tax  Sharing 
Agreement will be determined by the amount of taxes that Revlon, Inc. would otherwise have to pay if it were to file 
separate federal, state or local income tax returns, the Tax Sharing Agreement will benefit Mafco Holdings to the extent 
Mafco  Holdings  can  offset  the  taxable  income  generated  by  Revlon,  Inc.  against  losses  and  tax  credits  generated  by 
Mafco Holdings and its other subsidiaries.  There were no cash payments in respect of federal taxes made by Revlon, 
Inc. pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement for 2000, 1999 and 1998. 

Registration Rights Agreement 

Prior to the consummation of Revlon, Inc.’s initial public equity offering, Revlon, Inc. and Revlon Worldwide 
Corporation  (subsequently  merged  into  REV  Holdings),  the  then  direct  parent  of  Revlon,  Inc.,  entered  into  the 
Registration  Rights  Agreement  pursuant  to  which  REV  Holdings  and  certain  transferees  of  Revlon,  Inc.'s  Common 
Stock  held  by  REV  Holdings  (the  "Holders")  have  the  right  to  require  Revlon,  Inc.  to  register  all  or  part  of  the 
Company’s Class A Common Stock owned by such Holders and the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable upon 
conversion  of  the  Company’s  Class  B  Common  Stock  owned  by  such  Holders  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as 
amended (the "Securities Act") (a "Demand Registration"); provided that Revlon, Inc. may postpone giving effect to a 
Demand Registration up to a period of 30 days if Revlon, Inc. believes such registration might have a material adverse 
effect on any plan or proposal by Revlon, Inc. with respect to any financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization 
or  other  material  transaction,  or  if  Revlon,  Inc.  is  in  possession  of  material  non-public  information  that,  if  publicly 
disclosed,  could  result  in  a  material  disruption  of  a  major  corporate  development  or  transaction  then  pending  or  in 
progress or in other material adverse consequences to Revlon, Inc. In addition, the Holders have the right to participate 
in registrations by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock (a "Piggyback Registration"). The Holders will pay all 
out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  any  Demand  Registration.  Revlon,  Inc.  will  pay  any  expenses 
incurred  in  connection  with  a  Piggyback  Registration,  except  for  underwriting  discounts,  commissions  and  expenses 
attributable to the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock sold by such Holders. 

Other 

Pursuant  to  a  lease  dated  April  2,  1993  (the  "Edison  Lease"),  Holdings  leased  to  Products  Corporation  the 
Edison research and development facility for a term of up to 10 years with an annual rent of $1.4 and certain shared 
operating expenses payable by Products Corporation, which, together with the annual rent, were not to exceed $2.0 per 
year.  In  August  1998,  Holdings  sold  the  Edison  facility  to  an  unrelated  third  party,  which  assumed  substantially  all 
liability for environmental claims and compliance costs relating to the Edison facility, and in connection with the sale 
Products Corporation terminated the Edison Lease and entered into a new lease with the new owner. Holdings agreed to 
indemnify Products Corporation to the extent rent under the new lease exceeds rent that would have been payable under 
the  terminated  Edison  Lease  had  it  not  been  terminated.  The  net  amounts  reimbursed  by  Holdings  to  Products 
Corporation with respect to the Edison facility for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $0.2, $0.2 and $0.5, respectively. 

On February 2, 1998, Revlon Escrow Corp., an affiliate of Products Corporation, issued and sold in a private 
placement $650.0 aggregate principal amount of 8 5/8% Notes and $250.0 aggregate principal amount of 8 1/8% Notes, 
with the net proceeds deposited into escrow.  The proceeds from the sale of the 8 5/8% and 8 1/8% Notes were used to 

F-26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
finance the redemption of Products Corporation's $555.0 aggregate principal amount of 10 1/2% Senior Subordinated 
Notes due 2003 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) and $260.0 aggregate principal amount of 9 3/8% Senior Notes due 
2001 (the “Senior Notes” and, together with the Senior Subordinated Notes, the “Old Notes”).  Products Corporation 
delivered  a  redemption  notice  to  the  holders  of  the  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  for  the  redemption  of  the  Senior 
Subordinated Notes on March 4, 1998, at which time Products Corporation assumed the obligations under the 8 5/8% 
Notes  and  the  related  indenture  (the  “8  5/8%  Notes  Assumption”),  and  to  the  holders  of  the  Senior  Notes  for  the 
redemption of the Senior Notes on April 1, 1998, at which time Products Corporation assumed the obligations under the 
8  1/8%  Notes  and  the  related  indenture  (the  “8  1/8%  Notes  Assumption”  and,  together  with  the  8  5/8%  Notes 
Assumption, the “Assumption”).  A nationally recognized investment banking firm rendered its written opinion that the 
Assumption,  upon  consummation  of  the  redemptions  of  the  Old  Notes,  and  the  subsequent  release  from  escrow  to 
Products  Corporation  of  any  remaining  net  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  the  8  5/8%  Notes  are  fair  from  a  financial 
standpoint to Products Corporation under the then existing 9 1/2% Senior Notes due 1999 Indenture. 

During 2000, Products Corporation leased certain facilities to MacAndrews & Forbes or its affiliates pursuant 
to  occupancy  agreements  and  leases.  These  included  space  at  Products  Corporation's  New  York  headquarters  and  at 
Products Corporation's offices in London.  The rent paid to Products Corporation for 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $0.9, 
$1.1 and $2.9, respectively. 

Products  Corporation's  Credit  Agreement  is  supported  by,  among  other  things,  guarantees  from  Revlon, 
Inc., Holdings and certain of Holdings’ subsidiaries. The obligations under such guarantees are secured by, among 
other things, the capital stock of Products Corporation and the capital stock and certain assets of certain subsidiaries 
of Holdings.

advances were repaid in 1999. 

During  2000  and  1999,  the  Company  made  advances  of  $0.1  and  $0.4,  respectively,  to  Mr.  Jeffrey  Nugent, 
President and CEO, pursuant to his employment agreement for relocation expenses, which advances bear interest at the 
applicable federal rate. 

During  2000,  the  Company  made  an  advance  of  $0.8  to  Mr.  Douglas  Greeff,  Executive  Vice  President  and 

CFO, pursuant to his employment agreement, which bears interest at the applicable federal rate. 

During  1998,  Products  Corporation  purchased  products  from  a  company  that  was  its  affiliate  during  part  of 

1998, for which it paid approximately $0.4. 

During 1997, Products Corporation provided licensing services to a company that was its affiliate during 1997 
and  part  of  1998.    In  connection  with  the  termination  of  the  licensing  arrangement  and  its  agreement  to  provide 
consulting  services  during  1998,  Products  Corporation  received  payments  of  $2.0  in  1998  and  an  additional  $1.0  in 
1999. 

A company that was an affiliate of the Company during part of 1999, and during 1998 assembled lipstick 
cases for Products Corporation.  Products Corporation paid approximately $0.1 and $1.1, for such services for 1999 
and 1998, respectively. 

During  2000  and  1999,  Products  Corporation  made  payments  of  $0.1,  and  $0.1,  respectively,  to  a  fitness

dues for an executive health program of Products Corporation.  Mr. Drapkin is a director of the Company. 

During 2000, Products Corporation made payments of $0.2 to Ms. Ellen Barkin (spouse of Mr. Perelman) 

under an agreement pursuant to which she provided voiceover services for certain of the Company's advertisements.

and its subsidiaries during 1999.  An investment bank, of which Mr. Jordan became a Managing Director in January 
2000, Lazard Frères & Co. LLC, provided investment banking services to the Company during 2000.   

The law firm, of which Mr. Edward Landau (a director) is Of Counsel, Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen 

LLP, provided legal services to the Company during 2000, but did not provide any such services in 1998 or 1999.  

15. Commitments and Contingencies 

The  Company  currently  leases  manufacturing,  executive,  including  research  and  development,  and  sales 
facilities and various types of equipment under operating lease agreements. Rental expense was $33.0, $42.8 and $43.7 
for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2000,  1999  and  1998,  respectively.  Minimum  rental  commitments  under  all 
noncancelable leases, including those pertaining to idled facilities, with remaining lease terms in excess of one year from 
December 31, 2000 aggregated $85.8; such commitments for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2000 
are $25.2, $23.8, $11.7, $4.3 and $3.0, respectively.  Such amounts exclude the minimum rentals to be received by the 
Company in the future under noncancelable subleases of $17.6. 

The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in litigation and proceedings involving various matters. In the 
opinion  of  the  Company’s  management,  based  upon  advice  of  its  counsel  handling  such  litigation  and  proceedings, 
adverse outcomes, if any, will not result in a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results 
of operations. 

On April 17, 2000, the plaintiffs in the six purported class actions filed in October and November 1999 by 
each  of  Thomas  Comport,  Boaz  Spitz,  Felix  Ezeir  and  Amy  Hoffman,  Ted  Parris,  Jerry  Krim  and  Dan  Gavish 
individually and allegedly on behalf of others similarly situated to them against Revlon, Inc., certain of its present 
and former officers and directors and REV Holdings alleging among other things, violations of Rule 10b-5 under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, filed an Amended Complaint, which consolidated all of the actions and limited the 
alleged class period to the period from October 29, 1997 through October 1, 1998 (“In Re Revlon, Inc. Securities 
Litigation”).  In June 2000, the Company moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint, which motion was denied in 
substantial  part  in  March  2001.    The  Company  believes  the  allegations  contained  in  the  Amended  Complaint  are 
without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. 

A purported class action lawsuit was filed on September 27, 2000, in the United States District Court for the 
Southern District of New York on behalf of Dan Gavish, Tricia Fontan and Walter Fontan individually and allegedly 
on behalf of all others similarly situated who purchased the securities of Revlon, Inc., and REV Holdings, between 
October 2, 1998 and September 30, 1999 (the "Purported Class Period").  The complaint alleges that Revlon, Inc. 
and  certain  of  its  present  and  former  officers  and  directors  and  REV  Holdings  violated,  among  other  things,  Rule 
10b-5  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934.    On  October  17,  2000  the  court  ordered  that  this  lawsuit  be 
consolidated with the pending In Re Revlon, Inc. Securities Litigation.  On October 27, 2000 the plaintiff moved for 
reconsideration of the October 17, 2000 consolidation order.  The Company believes the allegations contained in the 
complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

17. Geographic Information 

The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable operating segment.  See Note 1 for a brief 
description  of  the  Company’s  business.    As  of  December  31,  2000,  the  Company  had  operations  established  in  20 
countries outside of the United States and its products are sold throughout the world.  The Company is exposed to the 
risk of changes in social, political and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations and the Company’s results of 
operations  and  the  value  of  its  foreign  assets  are  affected  by  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates.    The 
Company’s operations in Brazil have accounted for approximately 5.1%, 4.1% and 5.4% of the Company’s net sales for 
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Net sales by geographic area are presented by attributing revenues from external 
customers  on  the  basis  of  where  the  products  are  sold.    During  2000,  1999  and  1998,  Wal-Mart  and  its  affiliates 
accounted for approximately 16.5%, 13.1% and 10.1%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net sales. Although 
the  loss  of  Wal-Mart  as  a  customer  would  have  an  adverse  effect  on  the  Company,  the  Company  believes  that  its 
relationship with Wal-Mart is satisfactory and the Company has no reason to believe that Wal-Mart will not continue as 
a customer.

18.  Effect of New Accounting Standard 

In  May  2000,  the  FASB  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force  (the  “EITF”)  issued  new  guidelines  entitled, 
“Accounting  for  Certain  Sales  Incentives”  (the  “Guidelines”),  which  address  when  sales  incentives  and  discounts 
should  be  recognized,  as  well  as  where  the  related  revenues  and  expenses  should  be  classified  in  the  financial 
statements.  The  Guidelines,  as  amended  in  November  2000,  are  effective  for  the  second  quarter  ending  June  30, 
2001,  and  would  be  applied  retroactively  for  purposes  of  comparability.    Therefore,  beginning  April  1,  2001,  the 
Company is required to reclassify certain revenues and expenses related to its promotional programs out of operating 
expenses and into sales and cost of sales.  The Company has quantified the reclassification for 2000, 1999 and 1998 
as summarized below:

19.  Discontinued Operations 

During 1998, the Company completed the disposition of its approximately 85% equity interest in The Cosmetic 
Center, Inc. (the “Cosmetic Center”), along with certain amounts due from Cosmetic Center to the Company for working 
capital  and  inventory,  to  a  newly  formed  limited  partnership  controlled  by  an  unrelated  third  party.  The  Company 
received  a  minority  limited  partnership  interest  in  the  limited  partnership  as  consideration  for  the  disposition.  Based 
upon the Company’s expectation that it would receive no future cash flows from the limited partnership, as well as other 
factors, the Company assigned no value to such interest.  As a result, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of $47.7 
during 1998.

20.  Extraordinary Items 

The extraordinary loss of $51.7 in 1998 resulted primarily from the write-off of deferred financing costs and 
payment of call premiums associated with the redemption of Products Corporation’s 9 3/8% Senior Notes due 2001 
and  Products  Corporation’s  10  1/2%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due  2003.    In  connection  with  the  redemption, 
Products  Corporation  terminated  certain  interest  rate  swap  agreements  in  January  1998  and  realized  a  gain  of 
approximately  $1.6,  which  was  recognized  upon  repayment  of  the  hedged  indebtedness  and  is  included  in  the 
extraordinary item for the early extinguishment of debt. 

21.  Subsequent Events 

On  March  29,  2001,  a  subsidiary  of  Products  Corporation  entered  into  an  agreement  to  sell  the  Aoyama 
Property for ¥3.3 billion (approximately $28 as of March 29, 2001), after fees and expenses.  The agreement is subject 
to  a  number  of  conditions.    Subject  to  satisfaction  of  such  conditions,  Products  Corporation  expects  the  sale  to  be 
consummated during the second quarter of 2001. 

On March 16, 2001, Products Corporation entered into an agreement to sell its Phoenix facility for $8.0 and 
lease it back for a certain period of time.  The agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including completion 
of  due  diligence.    Subject  to  satisfaction  of  such  conditions,  Products  Corporation  expects  the  sale  to  be 
consummated during the second quarter of 2001.   

If consummated, proceeds available to the Company from the aforementioned transactions will be used for 

general corporate purposes, including payments to fund the Company’s restructuring plans.

The Company has not declared a cash dividend on the Class A Common Stock
subsequent to the Company’s Initial Public Offering and does not anticipate that any
dividends will be declared on the Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
The declaration and payment of dividends are subject to the discretion of the

amount and form of dividends, if any, will depend, among other things, on the
