Revlon (NYSE:REV) reported earnings per share of 14 cents for the third quarter of the year. This is a major improvement over the company’s losses per share of 38 cents from the third quarter of 2017. It was also a boon to Revlon stock by beating out Wall Street’s losses per share estimate of 40 cents for the period.

Revlon also reported revenue of $655.40 million for the third quarter of the year. This is down from the company’s revenue of $666.50 million reported during the same time last year.
