NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share data)


AVON PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share data)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
We prepare our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2018 Form 10-K") in preparing these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements, other than those impacted by new accounting standards as described below. In our opinion, the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. You should read these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2018 Form 10-K. When used in this report, the terms "Avon," "Company," "we" or "us" mean Avon Products, Inc.
For interim Consolidated Financial Statements purposes, we generally provide for accruals under our various employee benefit plans for each quarter based on one quarter of the estimated annual expense, and adjust these accruals as estimates are refined. In addition, our income tax provision is determined using an estimate of our consolidated annual effective tax rate, adjusted in the current period for discrete income tax items including:
the effects of significant, unusual or extraordinary pretax and income tax items, if any;
withholding taxes recognized associated with cash repatriations; and
the impact of loss-making subsidiaries for which we cannot recognize an income tax benefit and subsidiaries for which an effective tax rate cannot be reliably estimated.
Argentina Currency
During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, based on published official exchange rates which indicated that Argentina's three-year cumulative inflation rate had exceeded 100%, we concluded that Argentina had become a highly inflationary economy. From July 1, 2018, we have applied highly inflationary accounting for our Argentinian subsidiary. As such, the functional currency for Argentina has changed to the U.S. dollar, which is the consolidated group's reporting currency. When an entity operates in a highly inflationary economy, exchange gains and losses associated with monetary assets and liabilities resulting from changes in the exchange rate are recorded in income. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities, which include inventories, property, plant and equipment and contract liabilities, are carried forward at their historical dollar cost, which was calculated using the exchange rate at June 30, 2018.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires all assets and liabilities arising from leases to be recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2019.
In July 2018, the FASB added an optional transition method which we elected upon adoption of the new standard. This allowed us to recognize and measure leases existing at January 1, 2019 without restating comparative information. In addition, we elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at the lease commencement date. In addition to our lease agreements, we review all material new vendor arrangements for potential embedded lease obligations. The asset balance related to operating and finance leases is presented within right-of-use (ROU) asset and property, plant and equipment, respectively, on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The short-term liability balance related to operating and finance leases is presented within other accrued liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term liability balance is presented within long-term operating lease liability and long-term debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheets for operating and finance leases, respectively.  
The lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the remaining fixed or in-substance fixed lease payments discounted using our incremental borrowing rates. We use a specific incremental borrowing rate for our material leases, which is determined based on the geography and term of the lease. These rates are determined based on inputs provided by external banks and updated periodically. The lease liability includes the exercise of a purchase option only if we are reasonably certain to exercise as of the commencement date of the lease. The residual value guarantee amount is only included in the lease liability

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share data)

calculation to the extent payment is probable to the lessor as of the commencement of the lease. The ROU asset is calculated based on the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments paid to the lessor at or before the commencement date (i.e. prepaid rent) and initial direct costs incurred by Avon and excluding any lease incentives received from the Lessor.

Variable lease payments are payments to the lessor not included in the lease liability calculation. We define variable lease payments as payments made by Avon to the lessor for the right to use a leased asset that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances (such as changes in an index rate, volume, usage, etc.) occurring after the lease commencement date, other than predetermined contractual changes due to the passage of time (for example, predetermined rent increase amounts that are set out in the contract). Variable lease payments or charges are accounted for as incurred.
The lease term for purposes of lease accounting may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option as of the commencement date of the lease. For operating leases, the lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, the Company amortizes the ROU asset on a straight-line basis and records interest expense on the lease liability created at lease commencement over the lease term.
We account for our lease and non-lease components as a single component for most of our asset classes, and therefore both are included in the calculation of lease liability recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, for certain lease asset classes related to identified embedded leases we account for the lease and non-lease components separately, and therefore, the non-lease component is not included in the lease liability.

Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases over their lease term. See Note 9, Leases, for further details.
Other Accounting Standards Implemented
ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, which permits entities to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the 2017 enactment of U.S. tax reform legislation (the "Act") on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. We adopted this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2019 and elected not to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings.
Accounting Standards to be Implemented
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. We intend to adopt this new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2020. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements.
2. LOSS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES
We compute loss per share ("EPS") using the two-class method, which is a loss allocation formula that determines loss per share for common stock, and loss allocated to convertible preferred stock and participating securities, as appropriate. The earnings allocated to convertible preferred stock are the larger of 1) the preferred dividends accrued in the period or 2) the percentage of earnings from continuing operations allocable to the preferred stock as if they had been converted to common stock. Our participating securities are our grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents to the extent any dividends are declared and paid on our common stock. We compute basic EPS by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

Amounts in the table above may not necessarily sum due to rounding.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not include stock options to purchase 17.2 million and 15.3 million shares, respectively, of Avon common stock in the calculation of diluted EPS as we had a net loss and the inclusion of these shares would decrease the net loss per share. Since the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, these are excluded from the calculation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, it is more dilutive to assume the series C convertible preferred stock is not converted into common stock; therefore, the weighted-average shares outstanding were not adjusted by the as-if converted series C convertible preferred stock because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The inclusion of the series C convertible preferred stock would decrease the net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. If the as-if converted series C convertible preferred stock had been dilutive, approximately 87.1 million additional shares would have been included in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 6, Related Party Transactions.
We did not purchase any shares of Avon common stock during the first three months of 2019, as compared to approximately .9 million shares of Avon common stock for $2.7 during the first three months of 2018, through acquisition of stock from employees in connection with tax payments upon the vesting of restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE AND DIVESTITURES

Discontinued Operations
On December 17, 2015, the Company entered into definitive agreements with affiliates controlled by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. ("Cerberus").
