Understand Coty Inc.: how it makes money

Coty makes and sells beauty products, including prestige fragrances, skin care, and color cosmetics, through prestige retailers (including perfumeries and department stores), e-retailers, direct-to-consumer websites, and duty-free shops, earning money primarily from net revenue generated by these brand sales.

Coty appears to have a high gross margin, but an operating loss, so near-term profitability is structurally tied to whether it can reduce fixed costs while stopping or slowing the decline in like-for-like net revenue across its businesses.
