The Estée Lauder Companies announced a reorganization of its geographic reporting structure and related methodology changes. The company will report a revised Asia/Pacific region (including Japan, Korea, Hong Kong SAR, Australia and global travel retail) and will report Mainland China as a separate region. Management also changed how it reports certain global and regional activity by (i) excluding intercompany royalty impacts globally, (ii) allocating corporate expenses to all regions instead of primarily to The Americas, and (iii) allocating manufacturing facility impacts to all regions rather than to the facility location. These revisions do not affect consolidated results. The company has recast historical geographic net sales and operating income for fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 and provides those schedules as Exhibit 99.1 for investor comparability.
