COTY ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2026 RESULTS
Q4 Results Ahead of Expectations, Including Sales Growth of 1%
Growth in FY26 Operating Cash Flow to $538 million and Free Cash Flow to $348 million, Despite Lower Profit
Coty.Curated Sets Clear Strategic Framework to Strengthen Business Fundamentals
NEW YORK -- August 19, 2026 -- Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) (Paris: COTY) ("Coty" or "the Company") today announced its results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended June 30, 2026. Coty delivered Q4 and FY26 sales, profit, and cash flow ahead of expectations, supported by cost control and the convergence of sales and sell-out.
"We closed FY26 on a stronger note, delivering sales and profit ahead of our targets, growing free cash flow even in the face of business headwinds, all while establishing a clear strategic framework and taking decisive action to steadily strengthen our core business in FY27 and beyond," said Markus Strobel, Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer.
"We were pleased to return to reported sales growth, with Q4 sales up 1% year-over-year and a significant sequential improvement in our like-for-like (LFL) trends to down 1%, despite incurring an estimated 1% headwind to sales from the Middle East conflict. It's encouraging to see closer alignment between our sell-in and sell-out. However, we are not content with our sell-out performance, which remains below market levels in both divisions, and steadily closing that gap remains a clear priority across the organization.
"Our Coty.Curated strategic framework has entered the execution phase, with tangible actions already taken and further progress ahead. We began rightsizing our commercial organization and Consumer Beauty R&D and global brand marketing functions to enhance agility and accountability. We have also incorporated concrete market share targets into our global incentive program. Our FY27 big bets have been identified, and we will support them with amplified advocacy and consumer engagement programs, while also optimizing the visibility and recommendation of our brands across AI platforms. In Consumer Beauty color cosmetics, we are simplifying the innovation calendar and SKU base, and shifting resources toward fewer, higher-impact launches and proven hero products. We will execute these actions with discipline to minimize the impact on sales.
"Over the last three quarters, we have advanced our strategic objectives of simplifying our portfolio, sharpening our focus on the core of our business, and reducing our debt balance. In December 2025, we monetized our remaining stake in Wella for $750 million. In July 2026, we announced an agreement to sell the Gucci Beauty license back to Kering approximately one year ahead of its expiration for $400 million, plus additional proceeds from inventory. These favorable outcomes are fully consistent with our objectives, as we deploy the proceeds toward debt reduction, reinvestment in Coty's core prestige fragrance and beauty brands, and optimization of our organizational structure.
"While the Gucci Beauty license exit will result in a step-down in sales and profit in FY28, we are developing plans to help moderate the impact. These plans include accelerating our core brands; maximizing the contribution from new portfolio additions, including makeup under Marc Jacobs Beauty and fragrances under Swarovski, Etro, and Marni; and lowering our cost structure through a significant fixed cost reduction program. These actions are designed to mitigate the FY28 impact and position Coty to accelerate growth across our core portfolio and drive profit expansion in FY29 and beyond.
"In sum, our Q4 results provide early signs of stabilization, although the recovery will not be linear. FY27 will be a transition year as we strengthen our core business and continue shaping a simpler, more focused Coty, factoring in both the Gucci exit by FY28 and final portfolio decisions related to our strategic review of Consumer Beauty by the end of CY26. We have important strengths to build on, including leading brands, strong category positions, solid cash generation, and a differentiated end-to-end global platform. We are confident that our focused Coty.Curated framework will unlock Coty's significant potential and steadily translate into shareholder value in the years ahead."

Noteworthy Developments
•Coty announced an agreement with Kering for the early transition of the Gucci Beauty license. As part of the agreement, Coty received $250 million in cash at signing and will receive an additional $150 million no later than September 30, 2027, of which up to $30 million is contingent on certain criteria. Coty has also agreed to sell to Kering an amount of Gucci Beauty inventory sufficient to support the transition. Under the terms of the agreement, Coty will continue to operate the Gucci Beauty brand through at least June 30, 2027, ending the license approximately one year ahead of the original license term.
•Coty continues to implement its Coty.Curated framework to support sharper focus and stronger execution
across the portfolio.
•Coty's Prestige strategy continues to be anchored by key brands such as Burberry, Hugo Boss, Calvin
Klein, Marc Jacobs, Chloé, Davidoff, and Kylie Cosmetics. Major FY26 launches continued to perform well, including BOSS Bottled Beyond, Cosmic by Kylie Jenner Intense, and Calvin Klein Euphoria Elixirs.
•Coty's online launch of makeup under Marc Jacobs Beauty is off to a strong start, with an exceptional consumer response and online sell-out at Sephora ahead of targets.
•Coty continues to see early progress in Consumer Beauty, with sell-out performance in the U.S. improving for CoverGirl and Sally Hansen. In the U.S., Sally Hansen is now outperforming the category in units, while CoverGirl has narrowed the gap versus the category significantly in both value and units.
Pipeline for FY27 and Beyond
Prestige Plans
•Building on the success of BOSS Bottled Beyond with the FY27 launch of BOSS Bottled Beyond for Her, designed to extend the franchise into the female fragrance segment and support the core franchise
•Strengthening the iconic Burberry Goddess franchise following the recent launch of Goddess Amber Vanilla, as well as relaunching a brand new, impactful campaign and incremental innovation behind one of Burberry's core franchises
•Expanding Marc Jacobs Beauty makeup beyond online distribution into hundreds of Sephora stores across the U.S. and in Travel Retail beginning in September
•Building on Kylie Cosmetics' strong multi-category growth through the launch of the Mood Stones fragrance collection and new lip kits
•Elevating Calvin Klein fragrances by amplifying the Euphoria Elixirs launch and leaning into renewed interest in 1990s nostalgia, leveraging CK One's position as one of the era's defining fragrances
•Advancing additional key launches across several core brands, alongside the planned debut of Etro fragrances in the second half of FY27 and Swarovski fragrances in CY27
4
Consumer Beauty Plans
•Advancing Color the Future through fewer, higher-impact launches in FY27 including CoverGirl's TruBlend Sun & Sculpt Bronzing Glow Serum, Rimmel's Oh My Gloss! Slip Stick, Max Factor's Lasting Blur and Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel and INSTA-DRI seasonal shade stories
•Introducing Future of Scenting to sharpen focus across the mass-fragrance portfolio and drive more consistent performance, including continuing to scale adidas fragrances globally
Outlook
Consumer demand for beauty remains resilient, with continued growth in fragrances and cosmetics, although consumers are becoming increasingly selective in their purchasing decisions. Coty continues to advance its Coty.Curated strategic framework, focusing on core brands and markets, reducing portfolio complexity, increasing agility through organizational simplification, and identifying savings opportunities across the P&L to support increased investment in consumer engagement while also protecting profitability.
Coty expects 1Q27 LFL revenue to decline by a low- to mid-single-digit percentage. While sell-out trends for both divisions are expected to be broadly consistent with the trends in the second half of FY26, the timing of customer orders and prior year comparisons are expected to contribute to fluctuations in year-over-year sales trends. On a reported basis, Coty expects FX to have a neutral impact on revenue in the quarter.
Adjusted gross margin in 1Q27 is expected to decline by approximately 50 to 100 basis points year-over-year, reflecting cost absorption headwinds from lower shipments, partially offset by productivity initiatives and procurement actions. Coty anticipates 1Q27 adjusted EBITDA to decline by a low-teens percentage, representing a sequential improvement from the more significant declines in the second half of FY26. This is expected to result in adjusted EPS, excluding the equity swap, of $0.11 to $0.13 per share.
Supported by the seasonally strong business dynamics in the first half, as well as continued disciplined capital expenditure and working capital management, Coty expects free cash flow for the first half of FY27 of over $300 million.
FY27 is expected to be a transition year as Coty completes its strategic review and advances the early-stage implementation of Coty.Curated. Accordingly, at this stage Coty is providing guidance for Q1 and visibility into first-half free cash flow. Coty's Q1 EBITDA outlook reflects sequential improvement from year-over-year trends in the second half of FY26. The Company expects performance to strengthen progressively throughout FY27, supported by innovation, disciplined execution, cost savings, and strong cash flow generation. Overall, year-over-year EBITDA trends are expected to improve over the course of FY27, supported by ongoing productivity initiatives and cost discipline. Following the expected completion of the Company's strategic review by the end of CY26, and as implementation of Coty.Curated progresses, Coty expects to provide a broader outlook supported by greater visibility into Coty's growth and profitability trajectory.

Prestige
•Reported net revenues in the fourth quarter increased by $11.2 million year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in Prestige cosmetics and fragrance sales, partially offset by lower skincare sales.
•Reported operating loss in the fourth quarter represented a year-over-year deterioration from reported operating income in the prior-year period, primarily due to top-line pressure from lower fragrance shipments, gross margin pressure from higher tariff costs and the resulting cost of goods sold (COGS) absorption headwinds from lower shipment volumes, and higher fixed costs compared to a prior year period that benefited from lower variable compensation.
Consumer Beauty
•Reported net revenues in the fourth quarter increased by $5.6 million year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in mass body and skincare sales, partially offset by lower mass color cosmetics sales.
•Reported operating loss in the fourth quarter widened year-over-year, primarily reflecting supply chain cost under-absorption from lower sales, increased excess and obsolescence, and higher tariff-related costs.

Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures for Coty Inc. including Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Coty Inc. to common stockholders (collectively, the “Adjusted Performance Measures”). The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in tables below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures reported in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of the business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in the beauty industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Despite the limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures, our management uses the Adjusted Performance Measures as key metrics in the evaluation of our performance and annual budgets and to benchmark performance of our business against our competitors. The following are examples of how these Adjusted Performance Measures are utilized by our management:
•strategic plans and annual budgets are prepared using the Adjusted Performance Measures;
•senior management receives a monthly analysis comparing budget to actual operating results that is prepared using the Adjusted Performance Measures; and
•senior management's annual compensation is calculated, in part, by using some of the Adjusted Performance Measures.
In addition, our financial covenant compliance calculations under our debt agreements are substantially derived from these Adjusted Performance Measures.
Our management believes that Adjusted Performance Measures are useful to investors in their assessment of our operating performance and the valuation of the Company. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures address questions we routinely receive from analysts and investors and, in order to ensure that all investors have access to the same data, our management has determined that it is appropriate to make this data available to all investors. The Adjusted Performance Measures exclude the impact of certain items (as further described below) and provide
12
supplemental information regarding our operating performance. By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, our management intends to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as such measures allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. We provide disclosure of the effects of these non-GAAP financial measures by presenting the corresponding measure prepared in conformity with GAAP in our financial statements, and by providing a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measure so that investors may understand the adjustments made in arriving at the non-GAAP financial measures and use the information to perform their own analyses.
Adjusted operating income/Adjusted EBITDA excludes restructuring costs and business structure realignment programs, amortization, acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and acquisition accounting impacts, stock-based compensation, and asset impairment charges and other adjustments as described below. For adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the preceding, we exclude adjusted depreciation as defined below. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance due to the variability of such items from period-to-period in terms of size, nature and significance. They are primarily incurred to realign our operating structure and integrate new acquisitions, and implement divestitures of components of our business, and fluctuate based on specific facts and circumstances. Additionally, Adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. and Adjusted net income attributable to Coty Inc. per common share are adjusted for certain interest and other (income) expense items, as described below, and the related tax effects of each of the items used to derive Adjusted net income as such charges are not used by our management in assessing our operating performance period-to-period.
Adjusted Performance Measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
•Costs related to acquisition and divestiture activities: The Company has excluded acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and the accounting impacts such as those related to transaction costs and costs associated with the revaluation of acquired inventory in connection with business combinations because these costs are unique to each transaction. Additionally, for divestitures, the Company excludes write-offs of assets that are no longer recoverable and contract related costs due to the divestiture. The nature and amount of such costs vary significantly based on the size and timing of the acquisitions and divestitures, and the maturities of the businesses being acquired or divested. Also, the size, complexity and/or volume of past transactions, which often drives the magnitude of such expenses, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of any future acquisitions or divestitures.
•Restructuring and other business realignment costs: The Company has excluded costs associated with restructuring and business structure realignment programs to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. In addition, the nature and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. By excluding the referenced expenses from the non-GAAP financial measures, management is able to further evaluate the Company's ability to utilize existing assets and estimate their long-term value. Furthermore, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Asset impairment charges: The Company has excluded the impact of asset impairments as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Amortization expense: The Company has excluded the impact of amortization of finite-lived intangible assets, as such non-cash amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and/or size of acquisitions. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance. Although we exclude amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP expenses, our management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.
•Gain or loss on sale and early license termination: The Company has excluded the impact of gain or loss on sale and early license termination as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the size of the sale and early license termination.
13
•Costs related to market exit: The Company has excluded the impact of direct incremental costs related to our decision to wind down our business operations in Russia. We believe that these direct and incremental costs are inconsistent and infrequent in nature. Consequently, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Gains on sale of real estate: The Company has excluded the impact of gains on sale of real estate as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the size of the sale. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Stock-based compensation: Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we have excluded the effect of these expenses from the calculation of adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA. This is due to their primarily non-cash nature; in addition, the amount and timing of these expenses may be highly variable and unpredictable, which may negatively affect comparability between periods.
•Depreciation and Adjusted depreciation: Our adjusted operating income excludes the impact of accelerated depreciation for certain restructuring projects that affect the expected useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment, as such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. Further, we have excluded adjusted depreciation, which represents depreciation expense net of accelerated depreciation charges, from our adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Other (income) expense: The Company has excluded the impact of pension curtailment (gains) and losses and pension settlements as such events are triggered by our restructuring and other business realignment activities and the amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. Further, we have excluded the change in fair value of the investment in Wella and the Wella Distribution Rights, as well as expenses related to potential or actual sales transactions reducing equity investments, as our management believes these unrealized (gains) and losses do not reflect our underlying ongoing business, and the adjustment of such impact helps investors and others compare and analyze performance from period to period. Such transactions do not reflect our operating results and we have excluded the impact as our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Noncontrolling interest: This adjustment represents the after-tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments included in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests based on the relevant noncontrolling interest percentage.
•Tax: This adjustment represents the impact of the tax effect of the pretax items excluded from Adjusted net income. The tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is based on the tax rates related to the jurisdiction in which the adjusted items are received or incurred. Additionally, adjustments are made for the tax impact of any intra-entity transfer of assets and liabilities. Also, in connection with our market exit in Russia, we have adjusted for the release of tax charges previously taken related to certain direct incremental impacts of the decision.
The Company has provided a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between the non-GAAP financial measures and the financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of adjusted gross profit to gross profit, adjusted EPS (diluted) to EPS (diluted), and adjusted net revenues to net revenues, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Reported to Adjusted Results for the Consolidated Statements of Operations.” For a reconciliation of adjusted operating income to operating income and adjusted operating income margin to operating income margin, see the tables entitled “Reconciliation of Reported Operating Income (Loss) to Adjusted Operating Income” and "Reconciliation of Reported Operating Income (Loss) to Adjusted Operating Income by Segment." For a reconciliation of adjusted effective tax rate to effective tax rate, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Reported Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rates to Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes and Adjusted Effective Tax Rates.” For a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income margin to net income (loss), see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Reported Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income.”
The Company also presents free cash flow, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), immediate liquidity, Financial Net Debt and Economic Net Debt. Management believes that
14
these measures are useful for investors because it provides them with an important perspective on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures and provides them with the same measures that management uses as the basis for making resource allocation decisions. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures; adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income, excluding adjusted depreciation and non-cash stock-based compensation. Net debt or Financial Net Debt (which the Company referred to as "net debt" in prior reporting periods) is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. For a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow,” for adjusted EBITDA, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to Adjusted EBITDA” and for Financial Net Debt, see the tables entitled “Reconciliation of Total Debt to Financial Net Debt.” Further, our immediate liquidity is defined as the sum of available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (please see table "Immediate Liquidity").
We operate on a global basis, with the majority of our net revenues generated outside of the U.S. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect our results of operations. Therefore, to supplement financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, certain financial information is presented in “constant currency”, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange translations. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. We calculate constant currency information by translating current and prior-period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars into U.S. dollars using prior year foreign currency exchange rates. The constant currency calculations do not adjust for the impact of revaluing specific transactions denominated in a currency that is different to the functional currency of that entity when exchange rates fluctuate, or for the impacts of hyperinflation. The constant currency information we present may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
To the extent that the Company provides guidance, it does so only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for restructuring, integration and acquisition-related expenses, amortization expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation, adjustments to inventory, and other charges reflected in our reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

(a)Diluted EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company's equity compensation plans, the convertible Series B Preferred Stock, and the Forward Repurchase Contracts. When calculating any potential dilutive effect of stock options, Series A Preferred Stock, restricted stock, PRSUs and RSUs, the Company uses the treasury method and the if-converted method for the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock and the Forward Repurchase Contracts. The treasury method typically does not adjust the net income attributable to Coty Inc., while the if-converted method requires an adjustment to reverse the impact of the preferred stock dividends of $13.2 and to reverse the impact of fair market value losses/(gains) for contracts with the option to settle in shares or cash of $115.8 and $248.1, respectively, if dilutive, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 on net income applicable to common stockholders during the period. The if-converted method requires an adjustment to reverse the impact of the preferred stock dividends of $3.3, and to reverse the impact of fair market value losses/(gains) for contracts with the option to settle in shares or cash of $10.0 and $59.6, respectively, if dilutive, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 on net income applicable to common stockholders during the period.
(b)For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, outstanding stock options and Series A Preferred Stock with purchase or conversion rights were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS due to the net loss incurred during the period. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, outstanding stock options and Series A Preferred Stock with purchase or conversion rights to purchase 3.2 million and 3.5 million weighted average anti-dilutive shares of Common Stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.

(a)See a description of adjustments under “Reconciliation of Reported Net Income to Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA.”
(b)The tax effects of each of the items included in adjusted income are calculated in a manner that results in a corresponding income tax benefit/provision for adjusted income. In preparing the calculation, each adjustment to reported income is first analyzed to determine if the adjustment has an income tax consequence. The provision for taxes is then calculated based on the jurisdiction in which the adjusted items are incurred, multiplied by the respective statutory rates and offset by the increase or reversal of any valuation allowances commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability. The total tax impact on adjustments includes a tax expense of $0.5 and a tax benefit of $10.0 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, respectively, recorded as the result of the Company’s exit from Russia in fiscal 2022.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, no dilutive shares of the Forward Repurchase Contracts were included in the computation of adjusted diluted EPS as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, we did not reverse the impact of the fair market value losses for contracts with the option to settle in shares or cash of $10.0 and $59.6, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock (23.7 million weighted average dilutive shares) was anti-dilutive. Accordingly, we excluded these shares from the diluted shares and did not adjust the earnings for the related dividend of $3.3. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock (23.7 million weighted average dilutive shares) was anti-dilutive. Accordingly, we excluded these shares from the diluted shares and did not adjust the earnings for the related dividend of $3.3.
Adjusted Diluted EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities. For the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, no dilutive shares of the Forward Repurchase Contracts were included in the computation of adjusted diluted EPS as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, we did not reverse the impact of the fair market value losses/(gains) for contracts with the option to settle in shares or cash of $115.8 and $248.1, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2026, convertible Series B Preferred Stock (23.7 million weighted average dilutive shares) were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, we excluded these shares from the diluted shares and did not adjust the earnings for the related dividend of $13.2. For the year ended June 30, 2025, convertible Series B Preferred Stock (23.7 million weighted average dilutive shares) were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, we excluded these shares from the diluted shares and did not adjust the earnings for the related dividend of $13.2.
