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, 2025, and the results of operations, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
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 Adopted 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 Disclosur
es
,
which
requires the Company to disclose segment expenses that are significant
and regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM). In addition, this ASU requires the Company to disclose the
title and position of its CODM and how the CODM uses segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources
. 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
adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2024 using a retrospective transition method
, and the adoption
did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
, which will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional
information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state, and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant
individual jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2025 using a prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the potential
impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and its related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,
Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
, which will require the Company to disclose disaggregated
information about certain income statement expense line items. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. 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, 2024, for additional details of the Company’s financial condition and a description of the Company’s accounting policies, which have been continued without change.

, a natural color extraction business located in France. The Company paid $

0.2
million in debt assumed. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were
recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired net assets of $

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
was shut down in May 2025, and
all production activities have been transferred to other locations.
The Company began marketing the Felinfach site for sale in June 2025. As a result, the Company met all of the assets held for sale
criteria for the Felinfach land and building assets, which have been recorded as the only balance in
Fixed assets held for sale
on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company has substantially completed all other actions
contemplated under the Portfolio Optimization Plan in accordance with local laws.
The Company recorded $
0.3
million and $
2.5
million of accrued
liabilities in
Other Accrued Expenses
on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company expects the
Portfolio Optimization Plan will cost approximately $
45
million (increased from $
40
million, as previously disclosed, primarily due to higher than anticipated decommissioning costs), of which $
40.7
million has been incurred through June 30, 2025, primarily related to non-cash impairment charges and employee separation costs. We anticipate that the Portfolio Optimization
Plan will reduce annual operating costs by approximately $
8
million to $
10
million, with the full benefit expected to be achieved after 2025. The Company reduced headcount by approximately
100
positions, primarily in the Flavors & Extracts and Color segments, related to certain production and selling and administrative positions.

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 the rapidly changing economic conditions. Additionally, as the Company only has
one
portfolio 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.
The following table summarizes the changes in
the allowance for doubtful accounts during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

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, 2025 and
December 31, 2024. The net fair value of the forward exchange contracts based on current pricing obtained for comparable derivative products (Level 2 inputs) was an asset of $
0.9
million and a liability of $
0.8
million as of June 30, 2025
and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The
fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including
the portions of long-term debt classified as
Short-term borrowings
on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets,
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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $
735.3
million and $
613.7
million, respectively. The fair value of
the long-term debt at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $
745.9
million and $
622.0
million, respectively.

Segment Information
|
The
Company evaluates performance based on operating income before share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders); 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.
Assets by business segment and geographic region are those assets used in the Company’s operations in each segment and geographic region. Segment assets
reflect the allocation of goodwill to each segment. Corporate & Other assets consist primarily of accounts receivables from the securitization program, investments, deferred tax assets, and fixed assets.
The Company determines its operating segments based on information utilized by its chief operating decision maker
(CODM) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is
the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment operating income or loss to allocate resources, which includes employees, financial, or capital resources, predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM
considers budget-to-actual and year-over-year variances on a monthly basis for segment operating income or loss when allocating capital and personnel resources to the segments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating income of the
respective business units before share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders) and restructuring and other charges, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan
costs, which are reported in Corporate & Other.
The
Company’s
three
reportable 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 foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals; colors, ingredients, and systems for personal care; 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 for the Asia Pacific countries. The Company’s corporate expenses,
share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders), and restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, are included in the
“Corporate & Other” category.

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 $
39.6
million and $
70.3
million
of forward
exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of
June 30
, 2025
and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the three and six months ended
June
30
, 2025 and 2024, 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.
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
, 2025
and December 31, 2024
, the total value of the Company’s net investment hedges was $
334.9
million and $
295.3
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
,
2025
and 2024, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments increased debt by $
26.8
million and
decreased
debt by
$
1.9
million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency
translation in OCI. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments increased debt by $
39.6
million and decreased debt by $
8.5
million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI.
| 11. |
Income Taxes
|
The
effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were
25.3
% and
26.4
%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the effective income tax rates were
25.3
% and
26.7
%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were both 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 further impacted by the limited tax deductibility of costs related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan.

|
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements that reflect management’s current assumptions and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, Company performance, and financial results. Forward-looking statements include
statements in the future tense, statements referring to any period after June 30, 2025, and statements including the terms “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” and other similar terms that express expectations as to future events or conditions. The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other
factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. A variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results.
These factors and assumptions include, among others, the Company’s ability to manage general business, economic, and capital market conditions, including actions taken by customers in response to such market conditions, and the impact of recessions
and economic downturns; the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility, including inflation and shortages impacting the availability and cost of raw materials, energy, and other supplies, disruptions and delays in the Company’s supply
chain, and the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East; industry, regulatory, legal, and economic factors related to the Company’s domestic and international business; the effects of tariffs, trade barriers, and disputes; the
availability and cost of labor, logistics, and transportation; the pace and nature of new product introductions by the Company and the Company’s customers; the Company’s ability to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences, changing
technologies, and changing regulations; the Company’s ability to successfully implement its growth strategies; the outcome of the Company’s various productivity-improvement and cost-reduction efforts, acquisition and divestiture activities, and
Portfolio Optimization Plan; growth in markets for products in which the Company competes; industry and customer acceptance of price increases; actions by competitors; the Company’s ability to enhance its innovation efforts and drive cost
efficiencies; currency exchange rate fluctuations; and the matters discussed under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Except to the extent required by applicable law, the Company does not
undertake to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
OVERVIEW
Revenue
Revenue was $414.2 million and $403.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue was $806.6 million and $788.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in revenue
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to higher selling prices. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the impact of foreign exchange rates increased consolidated revenue by approximately 1% and decreased
revenue by approximately 1%, respectively.
Gross Margin
The Company’s gross margin was 34.5% and 32.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s gross margin was 34.0% and 32.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2025, Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, decreased gross margin by 40 and 50 basis points, respectively. Portfolio Optimization Plan costs for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2024 had an immaterial impact on gross margin. See
Portfolio Optimization Plan
below for further information. The Company’s gross margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were
further impacted by the favorable pricing, partially offset by higher raw material costs.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.6% and 20.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.3% and 20.1% for the six months
ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, selling and administrative expenses were increased by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $1.6 and $1.5 million, respectively, which increased
selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue by approximately 40 basis points for each period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, selling and administrative expenses were increased by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs
totaling $2.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, which increased selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue by approximately 40 and 60 basis points, respectively. See
Portfolio Optimization
Plan
below for further information. The remaining increase in selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to higher performance-based executive compensation
costs incurred in 2025.
Operating Income
Operating income was $57.7 million and $49.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating margins were 13.9% and 12.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Portfolio Optimization
Plan costs decreased operating margins by approximately 80 and 40 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to the higher selling prices, partially offset by
higher raw material costs and higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2025
.
Operating income was $111.2 million and $99.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating margins were 13.8% and 12.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Portfolio Optimization
Plan costs decreased operating margins by approximately 80 and 50 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to the higher selling prices, partially offset by
higher raw material costs and higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2025
.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $7.4 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $14.7 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The decrease in expense for the three months ended June
30, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in the average interest rate.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were 25.3% and 26.4%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the effective income tax rates were 25.3% and 26.7%, respectively. The
effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were both 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 further impacted by the limited tax deductibility of costs related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan.
Acquisition
On February 14, 2025, the Company acquired
Biolie SAS
, a natural color extraction business
located in France. The Company paid $4.9 million in cash for this acquisition, which is net of $0.2 million in debt assumed. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The
Company acquired net assets of $0.3 million, with the remaining $4.6 million allocated to goodwill. This business is part of the Color segment.
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 was shut down in May 2025, and all production activities have been transferred to other locations. The Company began marketing the Felinfach site for sale in June 2025. The Company has
substantially completed all other actions contemplated under the Portfolio Optimization Plan in accordance with local laws.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred costs of $3.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan recorded in Corporate & Other, primarily for dual plant operating costs,
professional services, non-cash inventory charges, decommissioning costs, and employee separation costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred costs of $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, (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
, and (3) adjusted EBITDA, which excludes restructuring and other costs, including the Portfolio
Optimization Plan costs, and non-cash share based compensation expense
.
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.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company determines its operating segments based on information utilized by its chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment performance is evaluated on operating income before share-based compensation
(except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders); restructuring and other costs, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs (which are reported in Corporate & Other); interest
expense; and income taxes.
The Company’s reportable segments consist of the Flavors & Extracts, Color, and Asia Pacific segments.
Flavors & Extracts
Flavors & Extracts segment revenue was $203.3 million and $209.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of approximately 3%. The decrease was a result of lower revenue in Natural Ingredients,
partially offset by higher revenue in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients. The lower revenue in Natural Ingredients was due to lower volumes, partially offset by higher selling prices. The higher revenue in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor
Ingredients was primarily due to higher volumes and selling prices. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Flavors & Extracts segment revenue was $396.9 million and $402.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of approximately 1%. The decrease was a result of lower revenue in Natural Ingredients,
partially offset by higher revenue in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients. The lower revenue in Natural Ingredients was due to lower volumes, partially offset by higher selling prices. The higher revenue in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor

Flavors & Extracts segment operating income was $28.5 million and $26.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of approximately 9%. The higher segment operating income was a result of higher
operating income in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients, partially offset by lower operating income in Natural Ingredients. The higher segment operating income in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients was primarily due to higher selling
prices, higher volumes, and lower manufacturing and other costs. The lower segment operating income in Natural Ingredients was primarily due to higher raw material costs and lower volumes, partially offset by higher selling prices. Segment
operating income as a percent of revenue was 14.0% in the current quarter compared to 12.5% in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on segment operating income for the three months ended June 30,
2025.
Flavors & Extracts segment operating income was $53.5 million and $49.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of approximately 7%. The higher segment operating income was a result of higher
operating income in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients, partially offset by lower operating income in Natural Ingredients. The higher segment operating income in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients was primarily due to higher selling
prices, higher volumes, and lower manufacturing and other costs. The lower segment operating income in Natural Ingredients was primarily due to higher raw material costs and lower volumes, partially offset by higher selling prices. Segment

Color
Segment revenue for the Color segment was $179.3 million and $167.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of approximately 7%. The increase was primarily a result of higher revenue in Food &
Pharmaceutical Colors, primarily due to higher volumes and selling prices. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Segment revenue for the Color segment was $347.0 million and $327.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of approximately 6%. The increase was primarily a result of higher revenue in Food &
Pharmaceutical Colors, primarily due to higher volumes and selling prices, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates that decreased segment revenue by approximately 2%.
Segment operating income for the Color segment was $38.9 million and $31.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of approximately 24%. The increase in segment operating income was primarily a result
of higher operating income in Food & Pharmaceutical Colors, primarily due to higher selling prices and volumes, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Foreign exchange rates increased segment operating income by approximately 2%.

increased by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $3.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively. See the
Portfolio Optimization Plan
section above for further information. The remaining increase in
Corporate & Other operating expenses was primarily due to higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2025.
The Corporate & Other operating expense was $34.4 million and $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Corporate & Other operating expenses were
increased by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $6.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. See the
Portfolio Optimization Plan
section above for further information. The remaining increase in
Corporate & Other operating expenses was primarily due to higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2025.
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, 2025. 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 2025 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 2030.
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,
2025. The Company has experienced increased costs for certain inputs, such as raw materials, shipping and logistics, and labor. 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.
The United States has recently implemented significant tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries and has announced the possibility of implementing additional, or increasing current, tariffs. These actions, and retaliatory tariffs imposed
by other countries on United States exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. The Company anticipates incurring incremental tariff costs on certain raw materials to produce our products and certain finished
goods shipped to customers. However, the Company expects to manage the impact of the increased tariff costs through pricing actions. To the extent the Company is unable to offset the increased tariff costs, or the tariffs negatively impact demand,
the Company’s revenue and profitability would be adversely impacted. If additional tariffs are adopted, the Company would incur additional tariff costs that could be material.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, such as the extension of certain expiring provisions, modifications to the international tax
framework, and the continuation of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.3 million and $58.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash used for
performance-based compensation payments (which are determined based on prior year performance) made during 2025 compared to 2024 and a decrease in cash provided by inventory during 2025 compared to 2024, partially offset by an increase in cash
provided by accounts receivable.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $41.5 million and $22.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Capital expenditures were $38.0 million and $22.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and
2024, respectively.
In 2025, the Company paid $4.9 million for the acquisition of
Biolie SAS
.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $26.0 million and net cash used in financing activities was $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net debt increased by $63.3 million and $11.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The cash proceeds from the increase in net debt in the current period were primarily used to support capital expenditure investments during the six months ended June 30, 2025. For purposes of
the cash flow statement, net changes in debt exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Dividends of $34.7 million were paid during both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Total dividends of $0.82 per share were paid for both the six
months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
