Estee Lauder's longtime CFO Travis to depart next year
Adds background in paragraph 4, analyst comments in paragraphs 5-6
July 11 (Reuters) -Estee Lauder EL.N said on Thursday that Tracey Travis would be stepping down and retiring from her 12-yearrole as the MAC lipstick maker's finance chief, effective June 30, 2025.
The company said a successor for Travis has been identified and will be named in the coming weeks. Travis will work closely with this person to ensure a smooth and successful transition, it added.
Travis, who has been Estee Lauder's CFO since Aug. 2012, had joined the company from Ralph Lauren RL.N, where she served as finance chief for over seven years.
Under her leadership, Estee Lauder has significantly strengthened financially, made extensive investments in innovation and digital transformation, and also made several acquisitions of companies including Tom Ford and Deciem, among others.
"Tracey has been instrumental in growing Estee Lauder from a $24 billion market cap company in 2012 to over $135 billion at peak," Jefferies analyst Ashley Helgans said in a note earlier on Thursday.
"A fresh set of eyes on the business could be beneficial given the recent volatility and would allow for the company to reset the growth algorithm," Helgans added.
The company had lowered its annual organic sales estimate in May on persistent softness in mainland China's prestige beauty space, even as a demand rebound for its pricey items in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific markets drove a profit forecast raise.
Shares of Estee Lauder, which have dropped more than 30% this year, were marginally up in after-hours trading.
