•	a decrease of approximately 270 basis points due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency transaction losses and foreign currency translation;

•	a decrease of 40 basis points associated with the net impact of VAT credits in Brazil recognized in revenue in 2014 that did not recur in 2015; and

•	a decrease of 20 basis points as a result of the IPI tax law on cosmetics in Brazil that went into effect in May 2015.

•	an increase of 130 basis points due to the favorable net impact of mix and pricing, primarily in Latin America, which includes the realization of price increases in markets experiencing relatively high inflation (Venezuela and Argentina); and

•	an increase of approximately 60 basis points due to lower supply chain costs, primarily in Europe, Middle East & Africa which was largely due to lower overhead costs.

---

•	an increase of approximately 210 basis points due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and foreign currency transaction losses;

•	an increase of 60 basis points associated with the net impact of VAT credits in Brazil recognized in revenue in 2014 that did not recur in 2015;

•	an increase of 60 basis points as a result of the IPI tax law on cosmetics in Brazil, which reduced revenue as we did not raise the prices paid by Representatives to the same extent as the IPI tax; and

•	an increase of 40 basis points due to higher expenses associated with long-term employee incentive compensation plans as the prior-year period includes the benefit from the reversal of such accruals that did not recur in the current-year period.

•	a decrease of 160 basis points primarily due to the impact of Constant $ revenue growth with respect to our fixed expenses. In addition, lower fixed expenses, primarily resulting from our cost savings initiatives, mainly reductions in headcount, were largely offset by the inflationary impact on our expenses.

---

---

•	foreign currency transaction losses (classified within cost of sales, and selling, general and administrative expenses), which had an unfavorable impact to Adjusted operating profit of an estimated $210, or approximately 280 points to Adjusted operating margin;

•	foreign currency translation, which had an unfavorable impact to Adjusted operating profit of approximately $265 (of which approximately $90 related to Venezuela), or approximately 200 points to Adjusted operating margin; and

•	lower foreign exchange losses (classified within other expense, net), which had a favorable impact of approximately $10 before tax.

---

•	a decrease of approximately 140 basis points due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency transaction losses and foreign currency translation, driven by Europe, Middle East & Africa and Latin America; and

---

•	a decrease of 80 basis points from lower expenses related to our SMT project as a result of our decision to halt the further roll-out beyond the pilot market of Canada in the fourth quarter of 2013;

•	a decrease of 50 basis points primarily due to the impact of Constant $ revenue growth with respect to our fixed expenses. In addition, lower fixed expenses, primarily resulting from our cost savings initiatives, mainly reductions in headcount, were largely offset by the inflationary impact on our expenses;

•	a decrease of 30 basis points as a result of the net impact of the incremental tax credits in Brazil recognized as revenue in 2014 and 2013;

•	a decrease of 30 basis points from lower Representative and sales leader expense, primarily in Latin America;

•	a decline of 1.9 points associated with the net impact of VAT credits in Brazil recognized in revenue in 2014, discussed above;

•	a decline of 1.4 points as a result of the IPI tax law on cosmetics in Brazil, which reduced revenue as we did not raise the prices paid by Representatives to the same extent as the IPI tax;

•

a decline of .8 points due to lower gross margin caused primarily by 1.4 points from the unfavorable impact of foreign currency transaction losses, primarily in Venezuela, and .9 points from higher supply chain costs, which was driven by higher obsolescence primarily in Venezuela and Brazil. These items were partially offset by 1.8 points from the favorable net impact of mix and pricing. Benefits from pricing include the realization of price increases in markets experiencing relatively high inflation (Venezuela and Argentina) on inventory acquired in advance of such inflation;

•	a decline of .8 points from higher distribution expenses, driven by inflation in Venezuela and Argentina and other cost pressures in the region; and

•	a decline of .7 points from higher administrative expenses, partially driven by inflationary costs, and increased legal expenses associated with labor and civil related matters in Brazil.

---

•

a decline of 2.4 points due to lower gross margin caused primarily by an estimated 4 points from the unfavorable impact of foreign currency transaction losses, partially offset by approximately 1.2 points from lower supply chain costs and .8 points from the favorable net impact of mix and pricing. Supply chain costs benefited primarily as a result of lower overhead costs which were attributable to increased productivity. The favorable net impact of mix and pricing was primarily driven by Eastern Europe;

•	a decline of .6 points from higher Representative, sales leader and field expense; and

•	a net benefit of 2.0 points primarily due to the Constant $ revenue growth with respect to our fixed expenses and a reduction of corporate expenses, which are allocated from Global.

---

•	a net benefit of 2.5 points primarily due to lower fixed expenses, which primarily resulted from our cost savings initiatives, mainly reductions in headcount, and to a lesser extent, a reduction of corporate expenses, which are allocated from Global. Partially offsetting the lower fixed expenses was the unfavorable impact of declining revenue with respect to our fixed expenses; and

•	a benefit of .9 points due to lower advertising spend.

---

•	a benefit of 1.3 points from lower bad debt expense, primarily as our 2013 results included an adjustment associated with prior periods in the Philippines;

•	a net benefit of .9 points due to lower fixed expenses, which was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of declining revenue with respect to our fixed expenses. Lower fixed expenses primarily resulted from our cost savings initiatives, mainly reductions in headcount that were associated with the $400M Cost Savings Initiative;

•	a decline of 1.2 points due to lower gross margin caused primarily by .7 points from the unfavorable net impact of pricing and mix primarily driven by the Philippines largely due to unit driving offers, and .6 points from the unfavorable impact of foreign currency transaction losses; and

•	a decline of .9 points due to higher advertising spend, primarily in China to support product re-launches.

In addition to the items impacting operating (loss) profit above, (loss) income from continuing operations, before taxes during 2015 was impacted by an after-tax benefit of $3.4 (benefit of $4.2 in other expense, net, and a loss of $.8 in income taxes) recorded in the first quarter, primarily reflecting the write-down of monetary assets and liabilities due to the change to the SIMADI rate. In addition, (loss) income from continuing operations, before taxes during 2015 was impacted by the gain on sale of Liz Earle of $44.9 before tax ($51.6 after tax), primarily recorded in the third quarter. In addition, (loss) income from continuing operations, before taxes during 2015 was impacted by a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.5 before tax in the third quarter caused by the make-whole premium and the write-off of debt issuance costs and discounts, associated with the prepayment of the 2.375% Notes (as defined in Note 5, Debt and Other Financing) and $2.5 before tax in the second quarter of 2015 associated with the write-off of issuance costs related to our previous $1 billion revolving credit facility.

(3)

(Loss) income from continuing operations, net of tax during 2015 was negatively impacted by an aggregate non-cash income tax charge of $685.1. This was primarily due to additional valuation allowances for U.S. deferred tax assets of $641.6 and $31.3 which were recorded in the third and first quarters of 2015, respectively, partially offset by a partial release of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $3.2 which was recorded in the second quarter of 2015. The additional valuation allowances in the third and first quarters of 2015 was due to the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar against currencies of some of our key markets and the impact on the benefits from our tax planning strategies associated with the realization of our deferred tax assets. The partial release of the valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2015 was due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against currencies of some of our key markets. In addition, the non-cash income tax charge was due to additional valuation allowances for deferred tax assets outside of the U.S. of $15.4, primarily in Russia, which was recorded in the third quarter of 2015, which was largely due to lower earnings, which were significantly impacted by foreign exchange losses on working capital balances. In addition, (loss) income from continuing operations, before taxes during 2015 was impacted by an income tax benefit of $18.7, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015, recognized as a result of the implementation of foreign tax planning strategies.
