OUR COMPANY AND OUR BRANDS

"Bringing the Best to Everyone We Touch."

THE ESTÉE LAUDER COMPANIES BRANDS

The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (ELC) was founded in 1946 by Mrs. Estée Lauder, a woman with a vision. Mrs. Lauder built her business with an unwavering commitment to being the best in all aspects of the beauty business. The flagship brand, Estée Lauder, was soon joined by new brands-Aramis, Clinique, Prescriptives and Origins-each with its own distinctive identity and consumer base, and each grown from the Company's innovation and creativity.

The Estée Lauder Companies became a public company (NYSE: EL) in 1995 and has acquired a number of beauty companies that reach even more diverse populations and fill underserved niche markets. As a result, we have become a more valuable investment to our shareholders.
