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, 2023, and the results of operations, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 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.

Please refer to the notes in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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. Acquisition

On October 3, 2022, the Company acquired Endemix Doğal Maddeler A.Ş. and Teknoloji Yatırımları ve Danışmanlık Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (collectively, Endemix), a natural colors business located in Turkey. The Company paid $23.3 million in cash for this acquisition, which is net of $1.3 million in debt assumed, with $1.7 million of such amount being held back by the Company for 12 months to satisfy any indemnification claims that may arise. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired net assets of $8.9 million and identified intangible assets, principally technological know-how and customer relationships, of $4.9 million. The remaining $9.5 million was allocated to goodwill. The Company is still in the process of finalizing the estimated values for identifiable intangible assets and fixed assets. The Company will complete this analysis in 2023. This business is part of the Color segment.

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 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, 2023 and 2022:

(In thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, 2023	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Balance at March 31, 2023	$	4,045

4. Inventories

At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, inventories included finished and in-process products totaling $385.2 million as of both period-ends, and raw materials and supplies of $203.3 million and $178.9 million, respectively.

5. Debt

On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to issue $75 million and €40 million in five-year, fixed-rate, senior notes at coupon rates of 4.94% and 4.15%, respectively. The notes were issued on May 31, 2023, and proceeds have been used to repay a portion of existing indebtedness under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended. The notes will mature in May 2028.

6. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 $2.1 million and a liability of $0.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $686.9 million and $630.8 million, respectively. The fair value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $675.2 million and $622.2 million, respectively.

7. Segment Information

The Company evaluates performance based on operating income before share-based compensation, 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.

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 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 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 and share-based compensation are included in the “Corporate & Other” category.

9. 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 $37.7 million and $70.1 million of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the amounts reclassified into net earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Statement 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total value of the Company’s net investment hedges was $339.8 million and $315.5 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, 2023 and 2022, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments increased debt by $3.8 million and decreased debt by $16.2 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments increased debt by $8.2 million and decreased debt by $24.1 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI.

10. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were 24.8% and 25.9%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the effective income tax rates were 24.9% and 25.7%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were both impacted by changes in estimates associated with the finalization of prior year foreign tax items and the mix of foreign earnings.

The increase in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to increased pricing, offset by lower volumes.  For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the impact of foreign exchange rates increased consolidated revenue by approximately 1%.  Foreign exchange rates did not have a material impact on revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating margins were 13.8% and 14.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On October 3, 2022, the Company acquired Endemix Doğal Maddeler A.Ş. and Teknoloji Yatırımları ve Danışmanlık Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (collectively, Endemix), a natural colors business located in Turkey.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Within the following table, the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including: percentage changes in revenue, operating income, and diluted earnings per share on a local currency basis, which eliminate the effects that result from translating its international operations into U.S. dollars.

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.

The following table summarizes the percentage change for the results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, in the respective financial measures.

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, 2023. 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 2023 through 2028. 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, 2023. 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.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $51.7 million and $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for inventory investments during 2023 compared to 2022 and an increase in cash provided by accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $43.0 million and $30.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Capital expenditures were $45.1 million and $32.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net debt increased by $43.1 million and $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023. For purposes of the cash flow statement, net changes in debt exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Dividends of $34.6 million and $34.4 million were paid during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Dividends paid were $0.82 per share for both the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Accounting Policies

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, 2023, and the results of operations, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 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.

Please refer to the notes in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, for additional details of the Company’s financial condition and a description of the Company’s accounting policies, which have been continued without change.

Trade Accounts Receivable [Abstract]

Trade Accounts Receivable

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 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, 2023 and 2022:

Fair Value

6. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 $2.1 million and a liability of $0.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $686.9 million and $630.8 million, respectively. The fair value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $675.2 million and $622.2 million, respectively.

Segment Information

7. Segment Information

The Company evaluates performance based on operating income before share-based compensation, 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.

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 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 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 and share-based compensation are included in the “Corporate & Other” category.

Operating results by segment for the periods presented are as follows:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

9. 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 $37.7 million and $70.1 million of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the amounts reclassified into net earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Statement 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total value of the Company’s net investment hedges was $339.8 million and $315.5 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, 2023 and 2022, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments increased debt by $3.8 million and decreased debt by $16.2 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments increased debt by $8.2 million and decreased debt by $24.1 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI.

Commitments and Contingencies

12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various claims and litigation arising in the normal course of business. The Company establishes reserves for claims and proceedings when it is probable that liabilities exist and reasonable estimates of loss can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, we do not believe that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, actual outcomes may be different from those expected and could have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
