Cosmetics maker Revlon Inc., known for its Almay and Sinful Colors brands, said it would exit its China operations as part of a restructuring that would save about $11 million annually. Sales from China, which had declined in 2012, accounted for about 2 percent of Revlon's total net sales. The company posted total net sales of $1.43 billion in 2012. Revlon said it would also cut 1,100 positions, primarily in China, which include 940 beauty advisors retained through a third-party agency. The company said it expects to incur about $22 million of pretax restructuring and related charges. About $10 million of the charges will be employee-related costs, with the rest from sales markdowns and inventory write-offs. Revlon, owned by buyout titan Ronald Perelman, said it recorded $20.9 million of the charges in December 2013, with the rest expected during 2014. The company said about $8 million of the annual savings are expected to benefit 2014 results. Revlon named JPMorgan Chase & Co. veteran Larry Alletto as chief financial officer in October. (Reuters)
