Elizabeth Arden posts 4th-quarter net loss

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. cosmetics maker Elizabeth Arden Inc posted a quarterly net loss on Thursday, versus a year-ago profit, hurt by one-time charges and lower sales.

The net loss was $10.4 million, or 38 cents per share, in the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, compared with a net profit of $9.6 million, or 33 cents a share, a year ago.

Excluding charges, the company reported a profit of 22 cents per share.

The company's products include Red Door and Britney Spears perfume and Prevage skin care items.
