Here is what Mittleman Brothers’ said:
“The most impactful detractor from Q2 performance was Revlon (REV). It has been a year since Revlon’s largest shareholder, Ron Perelman, bought more shares in the open market in the low $20s. In August 2019 Goldman Sachs was hired to explore strategic options. If any interest was there, COVID-19 might have chilled it. Still, Revlon’s hair colour products remain #1 in the mass market channel and it still has the #1 lipstick brand in the mass market. Right now however, it is bleeding cash, cutting costs and trying to extend 2021 maturing bonds. Billionaire Ron Perelman (87% shareholder) bailed Revlon out in the early 2000s with loans and equity capital and may be forced to do so again. Yet smaller and more prestige brands could get shaken out in the downturn which should bode well for Revlon moving forward.
MIM believes Revlon will likely sell their hair colour business, their fragrance business or Elizabeth Arden for valuations high enough to facilitate substantial deleveraging of the balance sheet. In the absence of a sale, expect another Perelman back-stopped bailout. MIM has lowered its estimate of fair value again, to $30 which is EV/EBITDA($368M)=13.9x, P/FCF($68M)=23.5x, 2.2x sales ($2.3B).
Finally, Alberta Investment Management Company (AIMCO), the third largest shareholder in Revlon had a change in management. MIM suspects this may have precipitated in AIMCO selling its holdings explaining the increased selling pressure in recent months.”
