NEW YORK -- Elizabeth Arden, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDEN), a global prestige beauty products company, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2007 second quarter ended December 31, 2006.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Net sales increased 18.8% to $410.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006 from $345.9 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Sales growth was driven by a significant increase in fragrance brands sold to the Company's mass retail customers, sales of new brands, including the With LoveOHilary Duff fragrance and the fragrance brands resulting from the June 2006 Riviera Concepts acquisition. In addition, higher sales of the Company's Elizabeth Arden branded skin care and color products and growth in the Company's businesses in China and Taiwan contributed to the net sales increase. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, net sales increased 17.3%.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $26.2 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, excluding previously announced restructuring charges of $0.3 million after taxes related to the Company's restructuring in its European operations, compared to net income of $33.1 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, in the same period last year. On a reported basis, net income was $25.9 million, or $0.91 per diluted share. As previously announced, the Company's earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were impacted by transition and integration expenses associated with the Company's recent acquisitions.

E. Scott Beattie, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Elizabeth Arden, Inc., commented, "We are pleased with our second quarter results and the general execution of our business. Our better than planned earnings reflect the strength of our broad-based business model, which spans multiple retail channels and geographies, as well as the strength of our brand portfolio. Overall, the recent acquisitions are performing ahead of our original expectations. We have completed the transition of the distribution activities out of the Sovereign Sales facility and are on schedule to integrate all remaining functions during the third fiscal quarter. Although With LoveOHilary Duff ranked among the top three Fall fragrance launches at U.S. department stores, our recently launched fragrances were short of our internal retail sales expectations, largely due to a softer than expected holiday season for fragrances at U.S. department stores. The rest of our business units, however, performed at or better than plan."

Mr. Beattie continued, "Our U.S. mass retail business increased significantly, and we are expanding our market share. This growth was led by the acquisitions and the strength of the Britney Spears fragrance franchise, which experienced double-digit gains this quarter in sales to mass retailers as well as in our international markets."

Mr. Beattie added, "In addition, net sales of our Elizabeth Arden branded skin care and color products rose 18% this quarter and 20% for the first half of the fiscal year. This is a result of our very strong product innovation and improved brand promotion and advertising globally. Our international business achieved another quarter of solid sales growth, with increases across most markets and particularly in Asia. Our focus on the Elizabeth Arden brand, including the introduction of products such as PREVAGE[TM] anti-aging treatment, is also resulting in improved retail sales and productivity at U.S. department stores. The repositioning of PREVAGE[TM] to the beauty counter, for example, has lifted the retail performance of our Elizabeth Arden skin care and color business."

SIX MONTHS RESULTS

For the six-months ended December 31, 2006, net sales rose 16.1% to $665.6 million from $573.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, net sales increased 15.0%. Net income was $25.8 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, versus $34.0 million, or $1.15 million per diluted share, for the year-ago period. The results for the six months ended December 31, 2006 exclude restructuring charges of $1.2 million after taxes related to the Company's previously announced restructuring charges. On a reported basis, net income was $24.5 million, or $0.86 per diluted share.

OUTLOOK

The Company confirms its fiscal 2007 annual net sales guidance. For the fiscal year, the Company currently anticipates net sales will increase by approximately 15% to 18%, assuming current foreign currency rates. The Company is raising the lower end of its fiscal 2007 earnings guidance range and currently estimates diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.15 to $1.20, versus its previous guidance range of $1.10 to $1.20.

The Company currently expects net sales to range between $215 million to $230 million for each of the third and fourth fiscal quarters. Diluted earnings per share for the third fiscal quarter are currently estimated to be in the range of $0.01 to $0.06. The Company expects to incur in its third fiscal quarter the final transition expenses for the Sovereign Sales acquisition and increased investment to support the global roll-out of the With LoveOHilary Duff fragrance, PREVAGE[TM] Eye skin treatment and the Intervene skin care line and the global launch of the new Elizabeth Arden fragrance, Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean.

Mr. Beattie concluded, "As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are excited about the global introduction of the new Elizabeth Arden fragrance, Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean, to support the strong growth of the Elizabeth Arden skin care and color business globally. Prevage Eye continues to gain traction and is lifting total sales of the Prevage[TM] skin care line and the entire Elizabeth Arden skin care and color business. In addition, we anticipate sales from the recent acquisitions, a strong pipeline of new distributed brands in the U.S. mass retail market, the successful roll-out of recently launched brands and continued growth of our international business to contribute to the second half results."
