L'Oreal Chairman says Coty Lacks Business Model

PARIS, April 24 (Reuters) - The chairman of French cosmetics group ​L'Oreal dismissed any ‌comparison with struggling beauty group Coty on Friday, adding ​that the smaller ​company had no business ⁠model at all.

"Let's just ​say that I think ​there simply isn't a model at Coty, and therefore ​there's nothing to say ​about it," said Jean-Paul Agon, ‌in ⁠response to a shareholder's question.

Coty, which its full-year guidance in February and ​warned ​on ⁠its third-quarter profits, is reviewing options ​for its makeup ​brands ⁠under interim CEO Markus Strobel who has been ⁠tasked ​with turning ​around the company's performance.
