7 SENSIENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. On November 6, 2000, Sensient Technologies Corporation, formerly Universal Foods Corporation (the "Company"), began doing business under its new name. An amendment to the Company's charter changing the Company's name to Sensient Technologies Corporation was adopted at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on April 26, 2001. 2. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 3. Refer to the notes in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, for a description of the accounting policies, which have been continued without change, and additional details of the Company's financial condition. The details in those notes have not changed except as a result of normal transactions in the interim and the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 as amended, discussed in Note 4 below. 4. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, which requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 as of the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was not material to the Company's financial statements. The Company is exposed to market risk, such as changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Interest Rate Hedging - The Company could be exposed to interest rate risk through its corporate borrowing activities. The objective of the Company's interest rate risk management activities is to manage the levels of the Company's fixed and floating interest rate exposure to be consistent with the Company's preferred mix. The interest rate risk management program consists of entering into approved interest rate derivatives when there is a desire to modify the Company's exposure to interest rates. As of December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001, the Company does not have any interest rate derivatives. Currency Rate Hedging - The primary objectives of the foreign exchange risk management activities are to understand and mitigate the impact of potential foreign exchange fluctuations on the Company's financial results and its economic well-being. Generally, these risk management transactions will involve the use of foreign currency derivatives to protect against exposure resulting from recorded receivables and payables. The Company primarily utilizes forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than 12 months, which qualify as cash flow hedges. These are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on recorded intercompany receivables and payables. The fair value of these instruments at March 31, 2001 was a $2.6 million asset. Gains and losses on these instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") until the underlying transaction is recognized in earnings. Hedging activity for cash flow hedges is expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months. Hedge effectiveness is determined by how closely the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument offset the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Hedge accounting is permitted only if the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective at the inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis. Any ineffective portions are to be recognized in earnings immediately. The Company's existing cash flow hedges are 100% effective. As a result, there is no current impact to earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. -4-
8 Net Investments Hedging - On January 2, 2001 the Company entered into a 100 million Euro note payable to Deutsche Bank. This non-derivative instrument is a partial hedge of the Company's net investment in its European subsidiaries. The change in the carrying amount of the Euro debt on the Company's books, attributable to changes in the spot foreign exchange rate, is a hedge of the net investment in its European subsidiaries. Commodity Purchases - The Company buys commodities during the normal course of business which result in physical delivery and hence, are excluded from SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. 5. Expenses are charged to operations in the year incurred. However, for interim reporting purposes, certain of these expenses are charged to operations based on an estimate rather than as expenses are actually incurred. 6. On February 23, 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets of its Red Star Yeast business. The operating results of the business through February 23, 2001 and the gain from the sale have been reported as a separate line item on the statements of earnings. The Company has also restated its prior statements of earnings to present the earnings of the Red Star Yeast division as a discontinued operation. Refer to note 12 in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, for additional information. The results from discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended March 31 --------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- <S> <C> <C> Revenue $ 16,810 $ 29,827 ======== ======== Income taxes $ 6,278 $ 822 ======== ======== Earnings from discontinued operations $ 7,780 $ 1,141 ======== ======== </TABLE> 7. On December 21, 2000, the Company announced its intent to consolidate certain manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe, leading to projected significant cost savings. Accordingly, special charges of $19.0 million were recorded during the period ended December 31, 2000. During the first quarter of 2001, $0.4 million of payments, mostly severance, have been applied to the special charges reserve. The majority of the severance will occur in the last half of the year due to two plant consolidations that will occur at the end of the second and third quarters. 8. At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, inventories included finished and in-process products totaling $158.8 million and $157.7 million, respectively, and raw materials and supplies of $73.1 million and $77.7 million, respectively. 9. During the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company repurchased 1,186,700 and 444,900 shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $26.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively. 10. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, depreciation and amortization expense related to continuing operations were $9.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, depreciation and amortization expense related to continuing operations were $9.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. -5-
9 11. Comprehensive income is comprised primarily of net earnings and foreign currency translation. Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was $10,166,000 and $19,782,000, respectively. 12.

10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CONTINUING OPERATIONS Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $195.7 million compared with $205.2 million in 2000, a 4.6% decrease. The Color segment reported decreased revenue of 8.9% for the first quarter. Revenues for the Flavor & Fragrances segment decreased 2.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Gross profit was down 11.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit was attributable to greater than budgeted energy costs, unfavorable foreign exchange rates, and the continuation of consolidations within the food industry. Selling and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 2.8%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. For the first quarter of 2001, operating income decreased to $24.6 million from $31.5 million in the same quarter. Interest expense for the first quarter increased to $8.8 million from $8.1 million for the same period last year. The increase is due to higher average borrowings used primarily to fund working capital requirements. The effective income tax rate on continuing operations was 30.3% and 18.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, respectively. The March 2001 quarter effective tax rate was reduced due to the ability to utilize $0.5 million of state net operating loss carry-forwards, reducing the required valuation allowance. The March 2000 quarter effective tax rate was reduced as the result of a one-time benefit recognized in connection with the closing of the Dehydrated facility in Ireland. Without these items, the effective tax rates would have been 33.5% and 33.2%, respectively. The first quarter of 2000 was restated to reflect the change in the amortization of other postretirement benefit net actuarial gains. The cumulative effect of this change was a pretax credit of $4.0 million and an after tax credit of $2.4 million. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company reduced its workforce by 200 people. The majority of these positions have been eliminated as of the filing of this document and are in addition to the 200 positions being eliminated in the restructuring announced in December 2000. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On February 23, 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets of its Red Star Yeast business. Total proceeds were approximately $113 million in cash, of which $4 million was received in August 2000. A gain from the sale of the business and its results through February 23, 2001 are included net of tax in a separate line item "Earnings from discontinued operations" on the statement of earnings. Cash proceeds received from the sale have primarily been used to pay down short-term debt and repurchase the Company's stock. SEGMENT INFORMATION Flavor & Fragrances - The Flavor & Fragrances segment reported gross revenue of $124.5 million for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $128.3 million for the same period last year. Operating income was $12.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to $20.6 million for the same period last year. Foreign exchange rates during the quarter reduced revenue and operating income by approximately 3% and 2%, respectively. Increased energy costs further reduced operating income by approximately 8%. Consolidation and merger activity among customers has slowed new product introductions and had an unfavorable impact on all suppliers in the industry. Customers also pared inventories as general economic conditions have slowed. Despite these conditions, volumes remain strong. Price increases for dehydrated products are expected to have a favorable impact on financial results in the second quarter of 2001. -7-
11 Color - Gross revenue for the Color segment was $66.5 million for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $72.9 million for the first quarter of 2000. Revenue decreases for the quarter are due to inventory reductions by customers and lower orders supporting customer new product launches. Sales of ink-jet inks, pharmaceutical ingredients and value-added food products increased during the quarter. Operating profit was $16.0 million for 2001 compared to $17.0 million for the same quarter in 2000. FINANCIAL CONDITION The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 has presented "Net assets held for sale" of the discontinued operation as a separate line item in current assets. The current ratio was 2.2 at March 31, 2001 compared with 1.9 at December 31, 2000. The increase is primarily the result of decreased short-term borrowings as the result of cash received from the sale of the Red Star Yeast business. Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2001 was primarily due to reduced earnings and inventory build-ups required to comply with restructuring strategies. Net cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The cash provided by discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2001 includes results through the date of sale, February 23, 2001. Net cash provided by investing activities was $100.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $58.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Net cash provided by investing activities in the first quarter of 2001 includes cash proceeds from the sale of the Red Star Yeast division of $108.5 million, which was partially offset by capital expenditures of $7.2 million. Cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2000 includes acquisitions of $44.2 million and capital expenditures of $13.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $103.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $32.3 million in the comparable period last year. Cash proceeds from the sale of the Red Star Yeast business were used to fund a reduction of short-term borrowings of $79.9 million and treasury stock purchases of $26.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The net borrowings in 2000 of $45.4 million were used primarily to fund acquisitions and treasury stock purchases. On January 2, 2001 the Company borrowed 100 million Euros and repaid domestic short-term borrowings. Dividends of $6.4 million and $6.6 million were paid during 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company's financial position remains strong, enabling it to meet cash requirements for operations, capital expansion programs and dividend payments to shareholders. -8-
