SENSIENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Accounting Policies

In the opinion of Sensient Technologies Corporation (the Company), the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024, and the results of operations, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Expenses are charged to operations in the period incurred.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and its related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to consistently categorize, and provide greater disaggregation of, information in the rate reconciliation table and further disaggregate income tax payments by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and its related disclosures.

Please refer to the notes in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, for additional details of the Company’s financial condition and a description of the Company’s accounting policies, which have been continued without change.

2.	Portfolio Optimization Plan

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the board of directors of the Company approved a plan to undertake an effort to optimize certain production facilities and improve efficiencies within the Company (Portfolio Optimization Plan). As part of the Portfolio Optimization Plan, in the Flavors & Extracts segment, the Company evaluated the closure of its manufacturing facility in Felinfach, Wales, United Kingdom, the closure of its sales office in Granada, Spain, and the centralization and elimination of certain selling and administrative positions. In addition, in the Color segment, the Company evaluated the closure of a manufacturing facility in Delta, British Columbia, Canada, the closure of a sales office in Argentina, and centralizing and eliminating certain production positions and selling and administrative positions. The Company reports all costs associated with the Portfolio Optimization Plan in the Corporate & Other segment.

The Company’s Felinfach site will continue to operate until all production activities have successfully transferred to other locations, and then will be closed. The Company has substantially completed all other actions contemplated under the Portfolio Optimization Plan in accordance with local laws.

The Company recorded non-cash impairment charges in Selling and Administrative Expenses, primarily related to certain property, plant, and equipment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, when the estimated fair value of these assets was lower than the carrying value. The property, plant, and equipment related to a product line that was shut down and determined to not be usable at other plant locations.

Index

The Company recorded $2.8 million and $3.7 million of accrued liabilities in Other Accrued Expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company expects the Portfolio Optimization Plan will cost approximately $40 million, of which $32.4 million has been incurred through June 30, 2024, primarily related to non-cash impairment charges and proposed employee separation costs, and upon completion would reduce annual operating costs by approximately $8 million to $10 million, with the full benefit expected to be achieved after 2025. The Company anticipates to reduce headcount by approximately 100 positions, primarily in the Flavors & Extracts and Color segments, related to certain production and selling and administrative positions.

The following table summarizes the Portfolio Optimization Plan expenses by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024:

(In thousands)	Flavors & Extracts		Color			Corporate & Other			Consolidated

Other costs include professional services, decommissioning costs, accelerated depreciation, accelerated lease costs, and other related costs.

3.	Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivables are recorded at their face amount, less an allowance for expected losses on doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on customer-specific analysis and an aging methodology using historical loss information. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable basis for expected credit losses as the Company’s historical credit loss experience correlates with its customer delinquency status. This information is also adjusted for any known current economic conditions. Forecasted economic conditions have not had a significant impact on the current credit loss estimate due to the short-term nature of the Company’s customer receivables; however, the Company will continue to monitor and evaluate as economic conditions change. Additionally, as the Company only has oneportfolio segment, there are not different risks between portfolios. Specific accounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the receivable is deemed no longer collectible.

Index

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

(In thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, 2024	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Balance at March 31, 2024	$	3,882

4.	Inventories

At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, inventories included finished and in-process products totaling $407.1million and $437.1 million, respectively, and raw materials and supplies of $146.4 million and $161.3 million, respectively.

5.	Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value for financial assets and liabilities, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings were approximately the same as the fair values as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The net fair value of the forward exchange contracts based on current pricing obtained for comparable derivative products (Level 2 inputs) was a liability of $0.1 million and an asset of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2 inputs). The carrying value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $634.7 million and $645.2 million, respectively. The fair value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $638.3million and $653.7 million, respectively.

6.	Segment Information

The Company evaluates performance based on operating income before share-based compensation; restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs; interest expense; and income taxes (segment operating income). Total revenue and segment operating income by business segment and geographic region include both sales to customers, as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings, and intersegment sales, which are accounted for at prices that approximate market prices and are eliminated in consolidation.

Index

The Company determines its operating segments based on information utilized by its chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s threereportable segments are the Flavors & Extracts and Color segments, which are both managed on a product line basis, and the Asia Pacific segment, which is managed on a geographic basis. The Company’s Flavors & Extracts segment produces flavor, extracts, and essential oils products that impart a desired taste, texture, aroma, or other characteristics to a broad range of consumer and other products. The Color segment produces natural and synthetic color systems for use in foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals; colors and other ingredients for personal care, such as active ingredients, solubilizers, and surface treated pigments; pharmaceutical and nutraceutical excipients, such as colors, flavors, coatings, and nutraceutical ingredients; and technical colors for industrial applications. The Asia Pacific segment is managed on a geographic basis and produces and distributes color, flavor, and essential oils products in the Asia Pacific countries. The Company’s corporate expenses, share-based compensation, and restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, are included in the “Corporate & Other” category.

8.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

The Company may use forward exchange contracts and foreign currency denominated debt to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk in order to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, non-functional currency raw material purchases, non-functional currency sales, and other known foreign currency exposures. These forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 18 months. The Company’s primary hedging activities and their accounting treatment are summarized below.

Forward exchange contracts – Certain forward exchange contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company had $30.7 million and $58.4 million of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the amounts reclassified into net earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings that offset the underlying transactions’ impact on earnings in the same period were not material. In addition, the Company utilizes forward exchange contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges. The results of these transactions were not material to the financial statements of the Company.

Index

Net investment hedges – The Company has designated certain foreign currency denominated long-term borrowings as partial hedges of the Company’s foreign currency net asset positions. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total value of the Company’s net investment hedges was $304.8 million and $313.3 million, respectively. These net investment hedges included Euro and British Pound denominated long-term debt. Changes in the fair value of this debt attributable to changes in the spot foreign exchange rate are recorded in foreign currency translation in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments decreased debt by $1.9 million and increased debt by $3.8 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments decreased debt by $8.5 million and increased debt by $8.2 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI.

9.	Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 26.4% and 24.8%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rates were 26.7% and 24.9%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were impacted by the mix of foreign earnings and changes in estimates associated with the finalization of prior year foreign tax items. The effective tax rates for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were also impacted by the limited tax deductibility of costs related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan.

Revenue was $788.2 million and $743.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to higher volumes and selling prices. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the impact of foreign exchange rates decreased consolidated revenue by approximately 1%. Foreign exchange rates did not have a material impact on revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Gross Margin

The Company’s gross margin was 32.4% and 32.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s gross margin was 32.6% and 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in gross margin for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to higher raw material costs, partially offset by higher volumes and selling prices.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.1% and 18.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.1% and 19.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, selling and administrative expenses were increased by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $4.3 million, which increased selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue by approximately 60 basis points. See Portfolio Optimization Plan below for further information. The remaining increase in selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to higher performance-based executive compensation in 2024.

Index

Operating income was $49.7 million and $51.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Operating margins were 12.3% and 13.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Portfolio Optimization Plan costs decreased operating margins by approximately 40 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The remaining decrease in operating margin was primarily due to the higher raw material costs and higher performance-based executive compensation in 2024, partially offset by higher volumes and selling prices.

Operating income was $99.1 million and $102.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Operating margins were 12.6% and 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Portfolio Optimization Plan costs decreased operating margins by approximately 50 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The remaining decrease in operating margin was primarily due to the higher raw material costs and higher performance-based executive compensation in 2024, partially offset by higher volumes and selling prices.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $7.7 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $14.7 million and $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the average interest rate.

Income Taxes

Portfolio Optimization Plan

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $1.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan recorded in Corporate & Other, primarily for costs associated with decommissioning, employee separation, and impairment of fixed assets.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Within the following tables, the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including: (1) adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which exclude restructuring and other costs, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, and (2) percentage changes in revenue, operating income, and diluted earnings per share on an adjusted local currency basis, which eliminate the effects that result from translating its international operations into U.S. dollars and restructuring and other costs, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs.

The Company has included each of these non-GAAP measures in order 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. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation. Rather, they should be considered together with GAAP measures and the rest of the information included in this report. Management internally reviews each of these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance on a comparative period-to-period basis and to gain additional insight into underlying operating and performance trends, and the Company believes the information can be beneficial to investors for the same purposes. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Financial Condition

The Company’s financial position remains strong. The Company is in compliance with its loan covenants calculated in accordance with applicable agreements as of June 30, 2024. The Company expects its cash flow from operations and its existing debt capacity can be used to meet anticipated future cash requirements for operations, capital expenditures, and dividend payments, as well as potential acquisitions and stock repurchases. The Company’s contractual obligations consist primarily of operational commitments, which we expect to continue to be able to satisfy through cash generated from operations and debt. The Company has various series of notes outstanding that mature from 2024 through 2029. The Company believes that it has the ability to refinance or repay these obligations through a combination of cash flow from operations, issuance of additional notes, and sufficient borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which matures in 2026.

As a result of our ability to manage the impact of inflation through pricing and other actions, the impact of inflation was not material to the Company’s financial position and its results of operations for the three or six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company has experienced increased costs for certain inputs, such as raw materials, shipping and logistics, and labor-related costs. We continue to expect to manage these impacts in the near term, but persistent, accelerated, or expanded inflationary conditions could exacerbate these challenges and impact our profitability.
