Coty continues to target the total four-year synergies and working capital benefits of $750 million and $500 million, respectively, with no change to the operating costs to realize both. The Company is refining the phasing of the targeted $750M in synergies in order to take into account the business dynamics and to reflect the fiscal year P&L impact.
