INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Registrant,” “IFF,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leading creator and manufacturer of food, beverage, health & biosciences, scent and pharma solutions and complementary adjacent products, including cosmetic active and natural health ingredients, which are used in a wide variety of consumer products. Our products are sold principally to manufacturers of perfumes and cosmetics, hair and other personal care products, soaps and detergents, cleaning products, dairy, meat and other processed foods, beverages, snacks and savory foods, sweet and baked goods, sweeteners, dietary supplements, food protection, infant and elderly nutrition, functional food, and pharmaceutical excipients and oral care products.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2023 Form 10-K”), filed on February 28, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q, and are unaudited. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, if not materially different from the 2023 Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q was derived from the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, have been made.
Correction of Prior Year Consolidated Financial Statements
In the first quarter of 2024, the Company revised Interest expense from $111 million to $100 million and Other expense, net from $6 million to $17 million on its Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This reflects certain adjustments made to interest expense associated with the Company’s cash pooling arrangements. The Company also adjusted the disclosure of its total receivables factored for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $445 million to $402 million. The impacts of these corrections are also presented in the related footnotes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The inputs into the Company’s judgments and estimates take into account the ongoing global current events and adverse macroeconomic impacts on our critical and significant accounting estimates, including estimates associated with future cash flows that are used in assessing the risk of impairment of certain assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Accounts Receivable
The Company has various factoring agreements globally under which it can factor up to approximately $300 million of its trade receivables (“Company’s own factoring agreements”). In addition, the Company utilizes factoring agreements sponsored by certain customers. Under all of the arrangements, the Company sells the trade receivables on a non-recourse basis to unrelated financial institutions and accounts for the transactions as sales of receivables. The applicable receivables are removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets when the cash proceeds are received by the Company.
The Company sold a total of approximately $406 million and $402 million of receivables under the Company’s own factoring agreements and customer sponsored factoring agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The cost of participating in these programs was approximately $6 million and $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These costs are included as a component of interest expense. Under the Company’s own factoring agreements for which the Company has continued responsibility to collect receivables and provide to its sponsor, it sold approximately $191 million and $197 million of receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The outstanding principal amounts of receivables under the Company’s own factoring agreements amounted to approximately $178 million and $196 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The proceeds from the sales of receivables are included in Net cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Expected Credit Losses
As of March 31, 2024, the Company reported $1.977 billion of trade receivables, net of allowances of $37 million. Based on the aging analysis as of March 31, 2024, approximately 1% of the Company’s accounts receivable were past due by over 365 days based on the payment terms of the invoice.
The following is a roll-forward of the Company’s allowances for bad debts for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

(1)Included approximately $7 million of reversals of allowances on receivables from certain customers in Egypt. The Company will continue to evaluate its credit exposure related to Egypt.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a weighted-average basis) or net realizable value. The Company’s inventories consisted of the following:

(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) | March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Raw materials | $ | 728 |  |  | $ | 779 |
Work in process | 432 |  |  | 406 |
Finished goods | 1,251 |  |  | 1,292 |
Total | $ | 2,411 |  |  | $ | 2,477 |

Supply Chain Financing Program
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a supply chain financing (“SCF”) program. The SCF program is expected to be available to U.S. based suppliers starting in the second half of 2024. The Company makes continuous efforts to improve working capital efficiency and has worked with suppliers to optimize payment terms and conditions. The Company’s current payment terms with a majority of suppliers generally range from 0 to 180 days, which is deemed to be commercially reasonable. The Company’s SCF program is voluntary and will allow its suppliers to elect to sell the receivables owed to them by the Company to a third-party financial institution. The suppliers, at their own discretion, will determine the invoices they want to sell and directly negotiate the arrangements with the participating third-party financial institution. Supplier participation in the program is solely the decision of the supplier and has no bearing on the Company’s payment terms and amounts due with the supplier. The Company’s responsibility will be limited to making payments based upon the agreed contractual terms and arrangements. The Company will not provide any form of guarantees under the SCF program and will have no economic interest in the suppliers’ decision to participate in the SCF program. Amounts due to suppliers that elect to participate in the SCF program will be included in Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company, or the third-party

financial institution, may choose to terminate the agreement of the SCF program at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice. The third-party financial institution may also terminate the agreement of the SCF program at any time upon three business days’ prior written notice in the event there are insufficient funds available for disbursements. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding related to suppliers’ participation in the SCF program.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The ASU was issued to further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its income tax disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The ASU intends to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker and included within segment profit and loss. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its reportable segment disclosures.
NOTE 2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is as follows:

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  |
(AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  |  |  |

Net income (loss) per share - basic(1) | $ | 0.23 |  |  | $ | (0.04) |  |  |  |  |
Net income (loss) per share - diluted | 0.23 |  |  | (0.04) |  |  |  |  |

_______________________
(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the basic net income per share cannot be recalculated based on the information presented in the table above due to rounding.
The Company declared a quarterly dividend to its shareholders of $0.40 and $0.81 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
There were approximately 0.3 million potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 because there was a net loss attributable to IFF for the period and, as such, the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were approximately 0.3 million share equivalents that had an anti-dilutive effect and therefore were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share in the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were approximately 0.4 million share equivalents that had an anti-dilutive effect and therefore were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share in the period.
The Company has issued shares of Purchased Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) which contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends while these shares are outstanding and thus are considered participating securities. Such securities are required to be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
7

Table of Contents
The Company did not present the two-class method since there was no difference between basic net income (loss) per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The difference between diluted net income per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was less than $0.01 per share. There was no difference between diluted net loss per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the number of PRSUs outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 was not material. Net income (loss) allocated to such PRSUs was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
NOTE 3. BUSINESS DIVESTITURES
Liquidation of a Business in Russia
As part of the liquidation of a business in Russia for the sale of the portion of the Savory Solutions business, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of approximately $10 million presented in the Other expense, net, and tax benefits of approximately $2 million presented in Provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Divestiture of the Pharma Solutions Business
On March 19, 2024, the Company announced the sale process and entered into an agreement to sell its Pharma Solutions business, for a value of up to $2.85 billion, that is primarily made up of businesses within the Company’s existing Pharma Solutions reportable operating segment, with some adjustments to the perimeter of the transaction designed to align customers, businesses and the manufacturing footprint. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025.
Divestiture of the Cosmetic Ingredients Business
The Company completed the divestiture of its Cosmetic Ingredients business on April 2, 2024. Upon closing, the Company received gross cash proceeds of approximately $841 million from the buyer, adjusted for the preliminary estimates of certain closing adjustments. Finalization of such closing adjustments may result in additional cash receipt from or payment to the buyer.
NOTE 4. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
Restructuring and other charges primarily consist of separation costs for employees including severance, outplacement and other employee benefit costs (“Severance”), charges related to the write-down of fixed assets of plants to be closed (“Fixed asset write-down”) and all other related restructuring (“Other”) costs. All restructuring and other charges are separately stated on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
N&B Merger Restructuring Liability
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $2 million of charges related to a lease impairment. Since the inception of the restructuring activities, there have been a total of approximately 215 headcount reductions and the Company has expensed approximately $49 million. As of December 31, 2023, the restructuring activities were completed related to employee exits. The Company continues to evaluate its owned and leased properties following the combination of IFF and DuPont de Nemours, Inc’s nutrition and biosciences business (“Merger with N&B”) and may incur additional costs to further consolidate its footprint.
2023 Restructuring Program

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 47.0%, which was primarily driven by tax expenses relating to business divestitures and changes in the mix of earnings, some of which do not give rise to tax benefits due to valuation allowances.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $128 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded in Other liabilities. If these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of approximately $48 million classified in Other liabilities.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s aggregate provisions for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, was approximately $176 million associated with tax positions asserted in various jurisdictions.
The Company regularly repatriates earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries. As the Company repatriates these funds to the U.S., there will be required income taxes payable in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes during the period when such repatriation occurs. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had a deferred tax liability of approximately $174 million for the effect of repatriating the funds to the U.S., attributable to various non-U.S. subsidiaries. There is no deferred tax liability associated with non-U.S. subsidiaries where the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the earnings to fund local operations and/or capital projects.

NOTE 15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
•Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
16

Table of Contents
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. The Company determines the fair value of structured liabilities (where performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks) using the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) swap curve and forward interest and exchange rates at period end. Such instruments are classified as Level 2 based on the observability of significant inputs to the model. The Company does not have any instruments classified as Level 3, other than those included in pension asset trusts as discussed in Note 15 of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.
The carrying values and the estimated fair values of financial instruments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of the following:

_______________________
(1)The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
(2)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the interest rate is reset frequently based on current market rates as well as the short maturity of those instruments.
(3)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the instruments are marked-to-market and held at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(4)The fair value of the Note is obtained from pricing services engaged by the Company, and the Company receives one price for each security. The fair value provided by the pricing services are estimated using pricing models, where the inputs to those models are based on observable market inputs or recent trades of similar securities. The inputs to the valuation techniques applied by the pricing services are typically benchmark yields, benchmark security prices, credit spreads, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes, all with reasonable levels of transparency.
(5)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the Term Loans were assumed at fair value and the interest rate is reset frequently based on current market rates.

Derivatives
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts with the objective of managing our exchange rate risk related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of our operations. These contracts generally involve the exchange of one currency for a second currency at a future date, have maturities not exceeding twelve months and are with counterparties which are major international financial institutions.
Commodity Contracts
The Company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as soybeans, soybean oil and soybean meal.
The Company also utilizes options, futures and swaps that are designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of natural gas used in our manufacturing process.
Hedges Related to Issuances of Debt
As of March 31, 2024, the Company designated approximately $861 million of Euro Notes as a hedge of a portion of its net European investments. Accordingly, the change in the value of the debt that is attributable to foreign exchange movements is recorded in Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
Cross Currency Swaps
The Company has twelve EUR/USD cross currency swaps with a notional value of $1.400 billion that mature through November 2030. The swaps all qualified as net investment hedges in order to mitigate a portion of the Company’s net European investments from foreign currency risk. As of March 31, 2024, the twelve swaps were in a liability position with an aggregate fair value of $132 million, which were classified as Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 16. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company announced the sale process of its Cosmetic Ingredients business within the Scent segment, and in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Cosmetic Ingredients business. The transaction was closed on April 2, 2024. See Note 3 for additional information.
The sale does not constitute a strategic shift of the Company’s operations and does not have major effects on the Company’s operations and financial results. Therefore, the transaction does not meet the discontinued operations criteria.
The Company determined that the assets and liabilities of the business met the criteria to be presented as “held for sale.” As a result, as of March 31, 2024, such assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects that the sale proceeds less costs to sell will exceed the preliminary estimate of the carrying value of the net assets for the business.
Included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are the following carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities held for sale:

NOTE 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees and Letters of Credit
The Company has various bank guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds which are used to support its ongoing business operations, satisfy governmental requirements associated with pending litigation in various jurisdictions and the payment of customs duties.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a total of approximately $226 million of bank guarantees, commercial guarantees, standby letters of credit and surety bonds with various financial institutions. Included in the above aggregate amount was a total of approximately $10 million for other assessments in Brazil for various income tax and indirect tax disputes related to fiscal years 1998-2011. There was a total of approximately $60 million outstanding under the bank guarantees, standby letters of credit and commercial guarantees as of March 31, 2024.
In order to challenge the assessments in these cases in Brazil, the Company has been required to, and has separately pledged assets, principally property, plant and equipment, to cover assessments in the amount of approximately $8 million as of March 31, 2024.
Lines of Credit
The Company has various lines of credit which are available to support its ongoing business operations. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a total capacity of approximately $1.860 billion of lines of credit with various financial institutions, in addition to the $1.791 billion of capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to these lines of credit as of March 31, 2024, there were total drawdowns of approximately $1.089 billion primarily related to the issuances of commercial paper and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility for approximately $836 million and $250 million, respectively. See Note 13 for additional information.
Litigation
The Company assesses contingencies related to litigation and/or other matters to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss. A loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently
21

Table of Contents
unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly sensitive and requires judgments about future events. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company reviews contingencies related to litigation to determine the adequacy of accruals. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates and further events may require the Company to increase or decrease the amounts it has accrued on any matter.
Periodically, the Company assesses its insurance coverage for all known claims, where applicable, taking into account aggregate coverage by occurrence, limits of coverage, self-insured retentions and deductibles, historical claims experience and claims experience with its insurance carriers. The liabilities are recorded at management’s best estimate of the probable outcome of the lawsuits and claims, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the individual matters as well as past experience on similar matters. At each balance sheet date, the key issues that management assesses are whether it is probable that a loss as to asserted or unasserted claims has been incurred and if so, whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company records the expected liability with respect to claims in Other liabilities and expected recoveries from its insurance carriers in Other assets. The Company recognizes a receivable when it believes that realization of the insurance receivable is probable under the terms of the insurance policies and its payment experience to date.
Litigation Matters
Two motions to approve securities class actions were filed in the Tel Aviv District Court, Israel, in August 2019, alleging, among other things, false and misleading statements largely in connection with IFF’s acquisition of Frutarom and improper payments made by Frutarom businesses operating principally in Russia and Ukraine to representatives of customers. One motion (“Borg”) asserted claims under the U.S. federal securities laws against IFF, its former Chairman and CEO, and its former CFO. The Borg case is now dismissed. The other motion (“Oman”) (following an initial amendment) asserted claims under the Israeli Securities Act-1968 against IFF, its former Chairman and CEO, and its former CFO, and against Frutarom and certain former Frutarom officers and directors, as well as claims under the Israeli Companies Act-1999 against certain former Frutarom officers and directors. On July 14, 2022, the court approved the parties’ motion to mediate the dispute, which postpones all case deadlines until after the mediation. The parties held mediation meetings on September 13, 2022, November 22, 2022, March 1, 2023, November 2023, March 3, 2024 and April 1, 2024.
On October 29, 2019, IFF and Frutarom filed a claim in the Tel Aviv District Court, Israel, against Ori Yehudai, the former President and CEO of Frutarom, and against certain former directors of Frutarom, challenging the bonus of US $20 million granted to Yehudai in 2018. IFF and Frutarom allege, among other things, that Yehudai was not entitled to receive the bonus because he breached his fiduciary duty by, among other things, knowing of the above-mentioned improper payments and failing to prevent them from being made. The parties agreed, pursuant to the court’s recommendation, to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation, and a court decision is pending with regard to the order in which this claim and the class action described below will be heard.
On March 11, 2020, an IFF shareholder filed a motion to approve a class action in Israel against, among others, Frutarom, Yehudai, and Frutarom’s former board of directors, alleging that former minority shareholders of Frutarom were harmed as a result of the US $20 million bonus paid to Yehudai. The court held an evidentiary hearing on the motion to approve a class action in March 2024.
Since March 2023, various putative class action lawsuits have been filed against IFF, Firmenich International SA, Givaudan SA, and Symrise AG and/or certain affiliates thereof in the Quebec Superior Court, the Federal Court of Canada, Ontario Superior Court, the Supreme Court of British Columbia and, in several cases, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. These actions allege violations of the Canadian Competition Act and the Sherman Act, as applicable, and other related claims, and seek damages and other relief. In December 2023, the Federal Court of Canada proceeding was discontinued in its entirety. IFF may face additional civil suits, in the United States or elsewhere, relating to such alleged conduct. At this time, IFF is unable to predict the potential outcome of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Investigations
On June 3, 2020, the Israel Police’s National Fraud Investigation Unit and the Israeli Securities Authority commenced an investigation into Frutarom and certain of its former executives, based on suspected bribery of foreign officials, money laundering, and violations of the Israeli Securities Act-1968. On February 26, 2024, the Israeli authorities informed Frutarom that the authorities decided to close the criminal investigation.

Table of Contents
On March 7, 2023, the European Commission (“EC”) and the United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”) carried out unannounced inspections of certain of IFF’s facilities. On the same day, IFF was served with a grand jury subpoena by the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). IFF understands the EC, CMA, DOJ and the Swiss Competition Commission are investigating potential anticompetitive conduct as it relates to IFF’s fragrance businesses. IFF has been and intends to continue cooperating with these investigations. During the first quarter of 2024, IFF has recognized a provision related to a procedural aspect of the investigation, which was not material to the financial statements. IFF is currently unable, however, to predict or determine the duration or outcome of the investigations, or whether the outcome of the investigations will materially impact the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. Additionally, the Company from time to time does receive complaints from customers regarding product quality, performance or other aspects of its ongoing relationships. The Company is unable to determine whether the potential settlement of customer claims, if any, will materially impact the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Environmental Proceedings
The Company is reporting the following environmental matter in compliance with SEC requirements to disclose environmental proceedings where a governmental authority is a party and that involve potential monetary sanctions of $300,000 or greater. Effective March 22, 2024, the Solae, LLC Memphis site (“Solae”) signed an Administrative Order on Consent (the “Consent Order”) resolving violations and penalties pertaining to the Administrative Order and Assessment received from the City of Memphis on May 27, 2022 related to alleged wastewater discharge violations. In view of the Consent Order, Solae withdrew its previously filed appeal. Pursuant to the Consent Order, Solae is completing its capital project efforts in accordance with the agreed schedule for attaining compliance with current wastewater permit requirements. This matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Other Contingencies
The Company has contingencies involving third parties (such as labor, contract, technology or product-related claims or litigation) as well as government-related items in various jurisdictions in which it operates pertaining to such items as value-added taxes, other indirect taxes, customs and duties and sales and use taxes. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations, in any period, could be materially affected by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
The most significant government-related contingencies exist in Brazil. With regard to the Brazilian matters, the Company believes it has valid defenses for the underlying positions under dispute; however, in order to pursue these defenses, the Company is required to, and has provided, bank guarantees and pledged assets in the aggregate amount of approximately $18 million. The Brazilian matters take an extended period of time to proceed through the judicial process and there are a limited number of rulings to date.
Other
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been fully resolved. Due to the inherent subjectivity and unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, the Company is unable to determine, with certainty, the probability of the outcome of these matters or the range of reasonably possible losses, if any.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
(UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE, DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, liquidity and capital resources included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2024 with the SEC (“2023 Form 10-K”).
OVERVIEW
Company Background
With the Merger with N&B in 2021 and our acquisition of Frutarom Industries Ltd. in 2018, we have expanded our global leadership positions, which now include high-value ingredients and solutions in the Food & Beverage, Home & Personal Care and Health & Wellness markets, and across key Taste, Texture, Scent, Nutrition, Enzymes, Cultures, Soy Proteins, Pharmaceutical Excipients and Probiotics categories.
We are organized into four reportable operating segments: Nourish, Health & Biosciences, Scent and Pharma Solutions.
Our Nourish segment consists of an innovative and broad portfolio of natural-based ingredients to enhance nutritional value, texture and functionality in a wide range of beverage, dairy, bakery, confectionery and culinary applications and consists of Ingredients, Flavors and Food Designs.
Our Health & Biosciences segment consists of the development and production of an advanced biotechnology-derived portfolio of enzymes, food cultures, probiotics and specialty ingredients for food and non-food applications. Among many other applications, this biotechnology-driven portfolio includes cultures for use in fermented foods such as yogurt, cheese and fermented beverages, probiotic strains, many with documented clinical health claims for use as dietary supplements and through industrial fermentation the production of enzymes and microorganisms that provide product and process performance benefits to household detergents, animal feed, ethanol production and brewing. Health & Biosciences is comprised of Health, Cultures & Food Enzymes, Home & Personal Care, Animal Nutrition and Grain Processing.
Our Scent segment creates fragrance compounds, fragrance ingredients and cosmetic ingredients that are integral elements in the world’s finest perfumes and best-known household and personal care products. Consumer insights science and creativity are at the heart of our Scent business, and, along with our unique portfolio of natural and synthetic ingredients, global footprint, innovative technologies and know-how, and customer intimacy, we believe these make us a market leader in scent products. The Scent segment is comprised of Fragrance Compounds, Fragrance Ingredients and Cosmetic Ingredients. We completed the divestiture of our Cosmetic Ingredients business on April 2, 2024.
Our Pharma Solutions segment produces, among other things, a vast portfolio of cellulosics and seaweed-based pharmaceutical excipients, used to improve the functionality and delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including controlled or modified drug release formulations, and enabling the development of more effective pharmaceutical finished dosage formulations. Our excipients are used in prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. Our Pharma Solutions products also serve a variety of other specialty and industrial end-uses including coatings, inks, electronics, agriculture and consumer products. On March 19, 2024, we announced the sale process and entered into an agreement to sell our Pharma Solutions business. See Note 3 for additional information.
Financial Measures — Currency Neutral
Changes in our financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We provide currency neutral calculations in this report to remove the impact of these items. Our method in calculating currency neutral numbers is conducted by translating current year invoiced sale amounts at the exchange rates used for the corresponding prior year period. We use currency neutral results in our analysis of subsidiary and/or segment performance. We also use currency neutral numbers when analyzing our performance against our competitors.

Impact related to the Israel-Hamas War
We maintain operations in Israel and, additionally, export products to customers in Israel from operations outside the region. We will continue to evaluate the current events and any potential impacts related to this matter, but we do not expect there to be a material impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
For each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, total sales to Israeli customers were approximately 1% of total sales.
Impact related to the Russia-Ukraine War
We maintain operations in both Russia and Ukraine and, additionally, export products to customers in Russia and Ukraine from operations outside the region. In response to the events in Ukraine, we have limited the production and supply of ingredients in and to Russia to only those that meet the essential needs of people, including food, hygiene and medicine.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, sales to Russian customers were approximately 1% and 2% of total sales, respectively.
For each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, sales to Ukrainian customers were less than 1% of total sales.
We have a reserve of approximately $3 million related to expected credit losses on receivables from customers located in Russia and Ukraine. For additional information, refer to Note 1 and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2023 Form 10-K.
Financial Performance Overview
Sales
Sales in the first quarter of 2024 decreased $128 million, or 4% on a reported basis, to $2.899 billion compared to $3.027 billion in the 2023 period. On a currency neutral basis, sales in the first quarter of 2024 decreased 1% compared to the 2023 period. Exchange rate variations had an unfavorable impact on net sales for the first quarter of 2024 of 3%. The effect of exchange rates can vary by business and region, depending upon the mix of sales priced in U.S. dollars as compared to other currencies. The decrease in sales was primarily driven by the impact of the divestitures of the portion of the Savory Solutions business and Flavor Specialty Ingredients (“FSI”) business (“change in business portfolio mix due to divestitures”), which was approximately $153 million, offset in part by volume and price increases across various businesses.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the first quarter of 2024 increased $60 million, or 6% on a reported basis, to $1.024 billion (35.3% of sales) compared to $964 million (31.8% of sales) in the 2023 period. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by volume increases, productivity gains and favorable net pricing, offset in part by the change in business portfolio mix due to divestitures.

_______________________
(1)Currency neutral sales is calculated by translating current year invoiced sale amounts at the exchange rates for the corresponding prior year period.
Nourish
Nourish sales in 2024 decreased $157 million, or 9% on a reported basis, to $1.496 billion compared to $1.653 billion in the prior year period. On a currency neutral basis, Nourish sales decreased 6% in 2024 compared to the prior year period as exchange rate variations had an unfavorable impact. In addition, performance in the Nourish operating segment was driven by the divestiture of the portion of the Savory Solutions business, with an impact of approximately $133 million, and price decreases across various business units, offset in part by volume increases across various business units.
Health & Biosciences
Health & Biosciences sales in 2024 increased $18 million, or 4% on a reported basis, to $531 million compared to $513 million in the prior year period. On a currency neutral basis, Health & Biosciences sales increased 6% in 2024 compared to the prior year period as exchange rate variations had an unfavorable impact. In addition, performance in the Health & Biosciences operating segment was driven by volume and price increases across various business units.
Scent
Scent sales in 2024 increased $37 million, or 6% on a reported basis, to $645 million compared to $608 million in the prior year period. On a currency neutral basis, Scent sales increased 12% in 2024 compared to the prior year period as exchange rate variations had an unfavorable impact. In addition, performance in the Scent operating segment was driven by volume and price increases, primarily in the Fragrance Compounds business unit, offset in part by the divestiture of the FSI business, with an impact of approximately $20 million.
Pharma Solutions
Pharma Solutions sales in 2024 decreased $26 million, or 10% on a reported basis, to $227 million compared to $253 million in the prior year period. On a currency neutral basis, Pharma Solutions sales decreased 11% in 2024 compared to the prior year period as exchange rate variations had a favorable impact. In addition, performance in the Pharma Solutions operating segment was driven by volume declines and price decreases in selective end markets.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased $188 million to $1.875 billion (64.7% of sales) in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $2.063 billion (68.2% of sales) in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by lower raw material costs and manufacturing expenses, lower unfavorable manufacturing absorption compared to the prior year period and the change in business portfolio mix due to divestitures, with an impact of approximately $109 million, offset in part by volume increases in sales.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses increased $5 million to $166 million (5.7% of sales) in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $161 million (5.3% of sales) in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily driven by higher operating expenses for R&D related activities, offset in part by the change in business portfolio mix due to divestitures.
Selling and Administrative (S&A) Expenses
S&A expenses increased $36 million to $490 million (16.9% of sales) in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $454 million (15.0% of sales) in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in S&A expenses was primarily driven by higher legal fees incurred and provisions for the ongoing investigations of the fragrance businesses and professional fees, including consulting costs, offset in part by the change in business portfolio mix due to divestitures.

Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring and other charges was $3 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $52 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was driven by lower severance costs incurred compared to the prior year period. See Note 4 for additional information.
Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles
Amortization expenses decreased to $168 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $171 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily driven by the reduction in intangible assets as a result of the change in business portfolio mix due to divestitures and intangible assets of the Cosmetic Ingredients business being classified as “held for sale,” and therefore no longer recognizing amortization expense on those intangible assets. See Note 3, Note 11 and Note 16 for additional information.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $83 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $100 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower debt outstanding. See Note 13 for additional information.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net, was $1 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $17 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease of $16 million was primarily due to the change in losses incurred from the liquidation of a business in Russia for the sale of the portion of the Savory Solutions business from the prior year period (see Note 3 for additional information) and lower foreign exchange losses, offset in part by lower pension-related benefits.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 47.0% compared to 157.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by an increase in pre-tax income, changes in the mix of earnings and in tax charges on business divestitures.
Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA Results by Business Unit
The Company uses Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA for internal reporting and performance measurement purposes. Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA is defined as Income Before Taxes before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, restructuring and other charges and certain items that are not related to recurring operations. Our determination of reportable segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities within each segment and corresponds to the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. In addition to our strategic priorities, segment reporting is also based on differences in the products and services we provide.

Pharma Solutions Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA
Pharma Solutions Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA decreased $13 million, or 22% on a reported basis, to $46 million in the first quarter of 2024 (20.3% of segment sales) from $59 million (23.3% of segment sales) in the comparable 2023 period. On a currency neutral basis, Pharma Solutions Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA decreased 23% in 2024 compared to the prior year period as exchange rate variations had a favorable impact. In addition, the performance was primarily driven by volume decreases and unfavorable net pricing, offset in part by productivity gains.
Liquidity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We had cash and cash equivalents of $764 million, inclusive of $32 million currently in Assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, at March 31, 2024 compared to $729 million, inclusive of $26 million in Assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, at December 31, 2023 and of this balance, a portion was held outside the United States. Cash balances held in foreign jurisdictions are, in most circumstances, available to be repatriated to the United States.
Effective utilization of the cash generated by our international operations is a critical component of our strategy. We regularly repatriate cash from our non-U.S. subsidiaries to fund financial obligations in the U.S. As we repatriate these funds to the U.S., there will be required income taxes payable in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes during the period when such repatriation occurs. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024, we had a deferred tax liability of approximately $174 million for the effect of repatriating the funds to the U.S., attributable to various non-U.S. subsidiaries. There is no deferred tax liability associated with non-U.S. subsidiaries where we intend to indefinitely reinvest the earnings to fund local operations and/or capital projects.
Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $99 million, or 3.4% of sales, compared to $127 million, or 4.2% of sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities during 2024 was primarily driven by the increase in working capital, largely related to accounts receivable and inventories, offset in part by accounts payable and higher cash earnings, excluding the impact of non-cash adjustments.
Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $78 million compared to $167 million in the prior year period. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily driven by lower spending on property, plant and equipment and higher net proceeds received from business divestiture related to the remaining sale consideration of the portion of the Savory Solutions business.
We have evaluated and re-prioritized our capital projects and expect that capital spending in 2024 will be approximately 4.9% of sales (net of potential grants and other reimbursements from government authorities), up from 4.1% in 2023.
Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $40 million compared to $78 million in the prior year period. The decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities was primarily driven by higher repayments of long-term debt, offset in part by higher net borrowings of commercial paper and drawdowns under the Revolving Credit Facility, compared to repayments under the Revolving Credit Facility in the prior year period.
We paid dividends totaling $207 million in the 2024 period. We declared a cash dividend per share of $0.40 in the first quarter of 2024 that was paid on April 10, 2024 to all shareholders of record as of March 22, 2024.
Our capital allocation strategy seeks to maintain our investment grade rating while investing in the business and continuing to pay dividends and repaying debt. The Company does not have any rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of its senior unsecured debt. However, any downgrade in our credit rating may, depending on the extent of such downgrade, negatively impact our ability to raise additional debt capital, our liquidity and capital position, and may increase our cost of borrowing for new capital raises. In addition, our existing Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans have pricing grids that are based on credit rating, such that our cost of borrowing may increase as our credit rating decreases. We make capital investments in our businesses to support our operational needs and strategic long-term plans. We are committed to maintaining our history of paying a dividend to investors which is determined by our Board of Directors at its discretion based on various factors.
Capital Resources
Operating cash flow provides the primary source of funds for capital investment needs, dividends paid to shareholders and debt service repayments. We anticipate that cash flows from operations, cash proceeds generated from planned business

divestitures and availability under our existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our investing and financing needs, including our debt service requirements. We regularly assess our capital structure, including both current and long-term debt instruments, as compared to our cash generation and investment needs in order to provide ample flexibility and to optimize our leverage ratios. See Note 13 for additional information.
Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility
Our credit agreements contain various covenants, limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers, including the requirement for us to maintain, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of net debt for borrowed money to credit adjusted EBITDA in respect of the previous 12-month period.
Our Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a base rate or a rate equal to Term SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% per annum or, in the case of euro-denominated loans, the Euro interbank offered rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our public debt rating. Loans may be prepaid without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs.
Based on the amendments entered into on September 19, 2023 for our Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility, we were provided with a financial covenant relief period through December 31, 2025, or such earlier date on which we elect to terminate such period, by providing that during the financial covenant relief period, our consolidated leverage ratio shall not exceed as of the end of the fiscal quarter for the period of the four fiscal quarters then ended: (i) 5.25x for any fiscal quarter ending on or before March 31, 2024, (ii) 4.75x for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024, (iii) 4.50x for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024, (iv) 4.25x for any subsequent fiscal quarter ending on or before March 31, 2025, (v) 4.00x for any subsequent fiscal quarter ending on or before September 30, 2025 and (vi) 3.75x for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025. During the financial covenant relief period, the amendments prohibit us from (i) effecting share repurchases, (ii) declaring and paying dividends in cash on common stock in excess of $0.81 per share per fiscal quarter (for an aggregate amount of $3.24 per fiscal year) and (iii) creating liens to secure debt in excess of the greater of $300 million and 3.65% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as defined in the amendments to our Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility), in each case subject to certain exceptions set forth therein.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $250 million outstanding borrowings under our $2.000 billion Revolving Credit Facility. The amount that we are able to draw down under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited by financial covenants as described in more detail below. As of March 31, 2024, our available capacity was $1.791 billion under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Refer to Note 13 of this Form 10-Q and Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” Note 9 of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information.
Debt Covenants
At March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants, including the net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio. At March 31, 2024, our net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio was 4.42 to 1.0 as defined by the credit facility agreements, which is below the relevant level provided by our financial covenants of existing outstanding debt. The most comparable GAAP measure is the total debt to net loss ratio, which was (4.13) to 1.0 at March 31, 2024.
_______________________
(1)Credit adjusted EBITDA and net debt, which are non-GAAP measures used for these covenants, are calculated in accordance with the definition in the debt agreements. In this context, these measures are used solely to provide information on the extent to which we are in compliance with debt covenants and may not be comparable to credit adjusted EBITDA and net debt used by other companies. Reconciliations of credit adjusted EBITDA to net loss and net debt to total debt are as follows:

Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2024, we had $8.513 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding in senior unsecured notes, with $863 million principal amount denominated in EUR and $7.650 billion principal amount denominated in USD. The notes bear effective interest rates ranging from 1.22% per year to 5.12% per year, with maturities from October 1, 2025 to December 1, 2050. See Note 13 for additional information.
Contractual Obligations
We expect to contribute a total of $5 million to our U.S. pension plans and a total of $23 million to our non-U.S. pension plans during 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no contributions were made to the qualified U.S. pension plans, $6 million of contributions were made to the non-U.S. pension plans and $1 million of contributions were made with respect to the non-qualified U.S. pension plan. We also expect to contribute $4 million to our postretirement benefits other than pension plans during 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $1 million of benefit payments were made to postretirement benefits other than pension plans.
As discussed in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, at March 31, 2024, we had entered into various guarantees and had undrawn outstanding letters of credit from financial institutions. These arrangements reflect ongoing business operations, including commercial commitments, and governmental requirements associated with audits or litigation that are in process with various jurisdictions. Based on the current facts and circumstances, these arrangements are not reasonably likely to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
New Accounting Standards
Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q, including: (i) currency neutral metrics and (ii) adjusted operating EBITDA and adjusted operating EBITDA margin. We also provide the non-GAAP measure net debt solely for the purpose of providing information on the extent to which the Company is in compliance with debt covenants contained in its debt agreements. Our non-GAAP financial measures are defined below.
These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information regarding our underlying operating results and comparable year-over-year performance. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. In discussing our historical and expected future results and financial condition, we believe it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of and to be assisted in a better understanding of, on a period-to-period comparable basis, financial amounts both including and excluding these identified items, as well as the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ calculation of such metrics.
Adjusted operating EBITDA and adjusted operating EBITDA margin exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, other income (expense), net, restructuring and other charges and certain items unrelated to recurring operations such as acquisition, divestiture and integration related costs, entity realignment costs, strategic initiatives costs, regulatory costs and other costs that are not related to recurring operations.

Net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA is the leverage ratio used in our credit agreement and defined as net debt divided by credit adjusted EBITDA. However, as credit adjusted EBITDA for these purposes was calculated in accordance with the provisions of the credit agreement, it may differ from the calculation used for adjusted operating EBITDA.

There are no material changes in market risk from the information provided in our 2023 Form 10-K, except for the cross currency swap agreements.
We use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. We have entered into certain cross currency swap agreements in order to mitigate a portion of our net European investments from foreign currency risk. As of March 31, 2024, these swaps were in a liability position with an aggregate fair value of $132 million. Based on a hypothetical decrease or increase of 10% in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, the estimated fair value of our cross currency swaps would change by approximately $146 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of our management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We have established controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also concluded that there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
