Management Commentary

"We delivered a strong second quarter performance, with double-digit sales growth and a solid improvement in overall profitability," said IFF Chairman and CEO Andreas Fibig. “Both businesses performed well – with legacy IFF growing strong double-digits and legacy N&B improving mid-single digits – all while we continue to successfully integrate two great organizations. Our synergy realization is on track and the overall business performance underscores the strength and diversity of our portfolio as well as our position as an essential partner to our customers."

IFF Executive Vice President and CFO, Rustom Jilla commented, “Profit and free cash flow were both solid in the second quarter, with broad-based improvements versus the year-ago period. We continued to optimize our cost structure, implement price increases and capture cost synergies to support profitability, however, margin in the second quarter was adversely impacted by higher raw material and logistics costs. As we look ahead, we are confident that our cash flow generation will remain robust, and have announced that we are raising our quarterly dividend, marking the twelfth consecutive year of dividend increases.”

Andreas Fibig concluded, “We have increased our sales expectation for the full year, and now expect to deliver approximately 7% growth on a combined company basis. Given the inflationary environment, we are successfully increasing prices over time and driving expense reductions to support long-term profitability - albeit we have some short-term pressure in 2021. We are also investing in incremental capacity and strategically increasing inventory levels in our high value businesses to ensure we maintain strong top-line momentum while improving returns moving forward.”

Second Quarter 2021 Consolidated Financial Results

• Reported net sales for the second quarter were $3.09 billion, an increase of 158% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by the incremental sales related to the merger with Nutrition & Biosciences ("N&B"). On a combined basis², sales increased 13% or 9% on a currency neutral basis, driven by double-digit growth in Scent and Nourish as well as a strong increase in Health & Biosciences.
• Income before taxes on a reported basis for the second quarter was $44 million. Adjusted operating EBITDA for the second quarter was $679 million, an increase of 184% from $239 million in 2020 driven by the incremental profit related to the merger with N&B as well as profit growth. On a combined basis², adjusted operating EBITDA increased 7%, as strong sales growth and continued cost discipline more than offset raw material inflation and higher logistics costs.
• Reported earnings per share (EPS) for the second quarter was $0.11. Adjusted EPS excluding amortization was $1.50 per diluted share.
• Cash flow from operations for the second quarter was strong, increasing 235% versus year-ago period, to $698 million, and free cash flow defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures totaled $533 million. Net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA at the end of the second quarter was 4.2x.

The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the Company (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the Company. Please refer to Part I.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We provide in this press release non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) combined currency neutral sales; (ii) adjusted operating EBITDA and combined adjusted operating EBITDA; (iii) adjusted EBITDA margin and combined adjusted operating EBITDA margin; (iv) adjusted EPS ex amortization; (v) free cash flow; and (vi) net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are defined below.

Currency Neutral metrics eliminate the effects that result from translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. dollars. We calculate currency neutral numbers 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 or segment performance. We also use currency neutral numbers when analyzing our performance against our competitors.

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 non-recurring items such as Frutarom integration related costs, losses on sale of assets, shareholder activism related costs, business divestiture costs, employee separation costs, compliance review & legal defense costs, N&B inventory step-up costs, N&B transaction related costs and N&B integration related costs.

Adjusted EPS ex Amortization excludes the impact of non-operational items including Frutarom integration related costs, restructuring and other charges, loses on sale of assets, shareholder activism related costs, business divestiture costs, employee separation costs, Frutarom acquisition related costs, compliance review and legal defense costs, N&B inventory step up costs, N&B transaction and integration related costs and non-cash items including the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets.

Free Cash Flow is operating cash flow (i.e. cash flow from operations) less capital expenditures.

Net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA is the leverage ratio used in our credit agreement and defined as Net debt (which is long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12-month credit adjusted EBITDA. Credit adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, specified items and non-cash items.

Combined historical results for the second quarter is defined as 3 months (April, May & June) of legacy IFF and N&B results, in both the 2020 and 2021 periods. Combined historical results for the full year is defined as 12 months of legacy IFF results, and 11 months (excluding January) of N&B results.

These non-GAAP 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.

Effective in the first quarter of 2021, the Company elected to change the profit or loss measure of the Company's reportable segments from Segment Operating Profit to Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA for internal reporting and performance measurement purposes. Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA is defined as (Loss) Income Before Taxes before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, restructuring and other charges, net and certain non-recurring items. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect these changes in segment profitability measures. 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. As a result, we added two new reportable segments - Health & Biosciences and Pharma Solutions. Nourish is composed of IFF’s legacy Taste segment and N&B’s Food & Beverage segment. The Scent and Health & Biosciences segments include a component of the legacy Taste segment.

The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted Operating EBITDA margin to Income (loss) Before Taxes under "Financial Guidance" without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. These items include but are not limited to Frutarom integration related costs, losses on sale of assets, shareholder activism related costs, business divestiture costs, employee separation costs, compliance review & legal defense costs, N&B inventory step-up costs, N&B transaction related costs and N&B integration related costs.
