The Flavors & Extracts Group reported second quarter revenue of $179.4 million compared to $183.6 million reported in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 2.3%, primarily due to the divestiture of the Fragrances product line in early April 2021. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 9.1% in the quarter. The higher adjusted local currency revenue was the result of strong growth in all product categories. Segment operating income was $24.5 million in the current quarter compared to $22.8 million reported in the comparable period last year, an increase of 7.8%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 13.2% in the quarter. The Group’s higher profit was primarily a result of favorable volume growth. Foreign currency translation increased segment revenue and operating income by approximately 4% and 3%, respectively, in the quarter.

The Color Group reported revenue of $133.2 million in the quarter compared to $121.3 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 9.8%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 7.1% in the quarter. The Group experienced growth in Food & Pharmaceutical colors and in Personal Care. Segment operating income was $25.6 million in the quarter compared to $22.3 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 15.1%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 5.2% compared to prior year’s second quarter. The higher operating income is primarily a result of the higher volumes. Foreign currency translation increased both segment revenue and operating income by approximately 5% in the quarter.

The Asia Pacific Group reported revenue of $32.3 million in the quarter compared to $27.9 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 15.9%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 11.3% in the quarter. Segment operating income was $5.8 million in the quarter compared to $4.8 million in last year’s comparable quarter, an increase of 19.5%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 21.6% in the quarter. The higher profit was primarily a result of the favorable volume growth. Foreign currency translation increased segment revenue by approximately 6% and decreased segment operating income by approximately 1% in the quarter.

Corporate & Other reported operating costs of $20.2 million in the current quarter compared to $7.7 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 160.9%. The higher costs are primarily due to higher divestiture & other costs reported in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the amount recorded in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted local currency operating expenses for Corporate & Other increased 29.4% in the quarter partly due to higher performance based executive compensation.

2021 OUTLOOK

Sensient is reconfirming its previously issued 2021 guidance for GAAP diluted earnings per share to grow at a mid to high single digit growth rate compared to the Company’s 2020 reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.59. Our full year 2021 guidance includes approximately 25 cents per share of estimated divestiture & other related costs, the results of the divested operations, and the operational improvement plan costs. The Company expects its reported tax rate to be approximately 24% for the last six months of 2021.

The Company now expects its 2021 adjusted local currency revenue(2) to grow at a mid-single digit rate. The Company’s previous 2021 guidance for adjusted local currency revenue(2) was a low to mid-single digit growth rate. The Company reconfirms its previously issued 2021 adjusted local currency EBITDA(2) to grow at a mid-single digit rate. The Company also continues to expect, on a local currency basis, 2021 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) to grow at a mid-single digit growth rate compared to the Company’s 2020 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) of $2.79. The Company expects its adjusted tax rate(2) to be approximately 22% for the last six months of 2021.

The Company expects earnings per share reported on a U.S. dollar basis to benefit by approximately ten cents based on current exchange rates.

The Company’s guidance is based upon current trends, current tax law, and the effects of COVID-19 to date. The full impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain and management will continue to monitor its impacts on our business.
