Skin care net sales grew in The
Americas , which was offset by a decline in the EMEA region. Net sales growth from La Mer, Clinique andBobbi Brown was offset by a decline fromEstée Lauder .

China and travel retail. Net sales growth reflected increases in hero products, including Crème de la Mer and the upgrade to The Treatment Lotion. The launch of The Hydrating Infused Emulsion and targeted expanded consumer reach, including the launch on a new online platform in mainlandChina , also contributed to growth. - Clinique net sales growth was driven by strong demand for its hero products, including the Take The Day Off line of products and Even Better Clinical Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupter, as well as the launch of Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum.

Difficult comparisons to the prior-year launch of the upgradedAdvanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex also impacted growth. -

Asia in the second half of fiscal 2022, as well as the year-over-year increase of goodwill and other intangible asset impairments of approximately .$135 million
Makeup
-
Makeup net sales increased among most brands, reflecting continued recovery in western markets, increased usage occasions and easier comparisons to the prior year. The growth was led by increases from both M·A·C and

.$63 million

- Hair care net sales rose across every region, reflecting increases from both Aveda and Bumble and bumble as brick-and-mortar recovered from prior-year closures related to COVID-19 through much of the world.
- Aveda’s growth reflected the continued success of its hero franchises, including Botanical Repair and Nutriplenish, as well as the relaunch of Full Spectrum Semi-Permanent Treatment Hair Color and the launch of Botanical Repair Strengthening Overnight Serum.

Outlook for Fiscal 2023 First Quarter and Full Year
The Company enters the fiscal year during a volatile period of record inflation, supply chain disruptions, strengthening
The full year outlook reflects the following assumptions and expectations:

Full-year effective tax rate of approximately
23% . -
Net cash flows provided by operating activities are forecast to be between

The Company is mindful of ongoing risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as risks related to the effects of the global macro environment, including the risk of recession; currency volatility; increasing inflationary pressures; supply chain disruptions; social and political issues; regulatory matters, including the imposition of tariffs and sanctions; geopolitical tensions; and global security issues. The Company is also mindful of inflationary pressures on our cost base and is monitoring the impact on consumer preferences.

(C)During the fiscal 2022 third quarter, given the lower-than-expected results from international expansion to areas that continue to be impacted by COVID-19, the Company made revisions to the internal forecasts relating to its GLAMGLOW reporting unit. The Company concluded that the changes in circumstances in the reporting unit triggered the need for an interim impairment review of its trademark intangible asset.
During the fiscal 2022 third quarter, given the lower-than-expected growth within key geographic regions and channels for Dr.Jart+ that continue to be impacted by the spread of COVID-19 variants and resurgence in cases and the potential future impacts relating to the uncertainty of the duration and severity of COVID-19 impacting the financial performance of the brand, the lower than expected growth in key retail channels for DECIEM, and the lower than expected results from international expansion to areas that continue to be impacted by COVID-19 for Too Faced, the Company made revisions to the internal forecasts relating to its Dr.Jart+, DECIEM and Too Faced reporting units.
The Company concluded that the changes in circumstances in the reporting units triggered the need for interim impairment reviews of their trademarks and goodwill. These changes in circumstances were also an indicator that the carrying amounts of Dr.Jart+’s, DECIEM’s and Too Faced’s long-lived assets, including customer lists, may not be recoverable. Accordingly, the Company performed interim impairment tests for the trademarks and a recoverability test for the long-lived assets as of

(1)Organic net sales growth represents net sales growth excluding returns associated with restructuring and other activities; non-comparable impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and brand closures (notably DECIEM and BECCA); as well as the impact of currency translation. |
This earnings release includes some non-GAAP financial measures relating to charges associated with restructuring and other activities and adjustments, as well as organic net sales. Included herein are reconciliations between the non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures for certain consolidated statements of earnings accounts before and after these items. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, among other financial measures, to evaluate its operating performance, which represent the way the Company conducts and views its business. Management believes that excluding certain items that are not comparable from period-to-period, or do not reflect the Company’s underlying ongoing business, provides transparency for such items and helps investors and others compare and analyze operating performance from period to period. In the future, the Company expects to incur charges or make adjustments similar in nature to those presented herein; however, the impact to the Company’s results in a given period may be highly variable and difficult to predict. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by, or determined in a manner consistent with, other companies. While the Company considers the non-GAAP measures useful in analyzing its results, they are not intended to replace, or act as a substitute for, any presentation included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.
The Company operates on a global basis, with the majority of its net sales generated outside
