International Flavors & Fragrances (NYSE: IFF) to sell Food Ingredients unit for $3.8B and expand buybacks
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 results on a continuing-operations basis, with net sales of $1,954 million, up 2% year over year and 6% on a comparable currency-neutral basis. Adjusted operating EBITDA was $408 million with a 20.9% margin, and adjusted EPS ex amortization was $0.82. Operating cash flow for the first six months was $679 million and free cash flow $378 million, both significantly higher than a year earlier.
The company entered a definitive agreement to sell its Food Ingredients disposal group to funds advised by CVC Capital Partners for approximately $3.8 billion in net cash proceeds, retaining about a 10% minority equity interest. Food Ingredients and the previously divested SCL disposal group are classified as discontinued operations. Roughly $100 million of stranded corporate costs are expected after closing, with plans to remove about two thirds within one year and substantially all within two years.
IFF outlined a capital allocation plan that applies divestiture proceeds to reduce outstanding debt by over $1 billion, targeting leverage of 2.0x–2.5x net debt to EBITDA; net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA stood at 2.5x at quarter end. The board approved an enhanced $2.5 billion share repurchase authorization, including a $500 million accelerated share repurchase in the second half of 2026 and the remaining $2.0 billion targeted for completion by the end of 2027. For 2026 continuing operations, IFF guides to sales of $7.4–$7.6 billion and adjusted operating EBITDA of $1.53–$1.60 billion, implying comparable currency-neutral sales growth of 2%–4% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 4%–8%.

- First-half 2026 operating cash flow reached $679 million and free cash flow rose by $284 million year over year to $378 million, supporting debt reduction and planned buybacks.
- On a continuing-operations basis, second-quarter 2026 net sales grew 2% and comparable currency-neutral sales increased 6%, with all three core segments—Taste, Health & Biosciences, and Scent—posting growth.
Negative
- Income from continuing operations before taxes declined to $64 million in the second quarter of 2026 from $438 million a year earlier, with net income from continuing operations down to $33 million from $550 million.
- Regulatory costs related to ongoing investigations of the fragrance businesses were $71 million in the second quarter and $81 million for the first half of 2026, materially impacting profitability.
- Stranded costs from the Food Ingredients divestiture are estimated at about $100 million of corporate and functional expenses remaining with IFF, requiring cost actions over up to two years following closing.
- Total debt to trailing twelve months net income stood at a high 22.6x at the end of the second quarter of 2026, indicating elevated leverage relative to current earnings.

6 terms
discontinued operations financial
"the results of operations of the Food Ingredients disposal group are presented as discontinued operations"
Discontinued operations are parts of a company that it has decided to sell or shut down, and no longer plans to run in the future. This matters to investors because it helps them understand which parts of the business are ongoing and which are being phased out, providing a clearer picture of the company’s current performance and future prospects. Think of it like a store closing a department—it no longer contributes to sales or profits.
adjusted operating EBITDA financial
"Adjusted operating EBITDA for the second quarter was $408 million"
A measure of a company's recurring profit from its core business before paying interest, taxes and accounting charges for wear and tear, with additional adjustments to remove one-time, non-cash or non-operational items so the figure reflects normal, ongoing performance. Investors use it to see the business’s cash-earning ability and to compare companies more fairly, like judging a car’s regular fuel efficiency after ignoring rare long trips or repairs.
currency neutral sales financial
"On a comparable basis, currency neutral sales increased 6% versus the prior-year period"
net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA financial
"Net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA at the end of the second quarter was 2.5x"
Net debt to credit‑adjusted EBITDA is a leverage ratio that divides a company’s net debt (total borrowings minus cash and equivalents) by its credit‑adjusted EBITDA, a measure of operating cash flow before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization that has been tweaked to reflect items lenders care about. Investors use it like a durability test—lower numbers mean a company’s routine cash flow more comfortably covers its debt, while higher numbers signal greater risk of strain or need for refinancing.
held for sale financial
"the Food Ingredients disposal group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale"
An asset or a group of assets classified as 'held for sale' is one the company intends to sell rather than keep using, and management has committed to that plan with an active effort to find a buyer. Investors care because these items are removed from ongoing operating results and valued differently, offering a clearer view of the business’s continuing performance—think of it like marking a piece of furniture for the garage sale rather than counting it as part of your regular household setup.

“This quarter marked a defining step in our portfolio transformation with the announced agreement to divest Food Ingredients. The transaction sharpens IFF's focus on Taste, Scent, and Health & Biosciences, creating a simpler, higher-growth, higher-margin company with enhanced cash generation. As part of this transformation, we are taking decisive action to eliminate related stranded costs and will execute with urgency.”
“We are also providing greater clarity on our intended use of proceeds from the divestiture of the Food Ingredients business through a sequenced capital allocation framework. Our objective is to maintain a strong balance sheet and financial flexibility to deliver our growth ambitions with leverage in the range of 2.0x to 2.5x net debt to EBITDA. Therefore we will apply net proceeds to reduce outstanding debt by over $1 billion. The Board has also authorized an enhanced $2.5 billion share repurchase program, beginning with $500 million to be executed in the second half of 2026, reflecting our confidence in IFF’s long-term value creation opportunity and the compelling return profile of repurchases at current valuation levels. We expect to execute the remaining $2.0 billion of the authorization following the anticipated transaction close, with completion of this repurchase program targeted by the end of 2027.”
“With Food Ingredients now reported as discontinued operations, we are introducing full-year 2026 guidance on a continuing operations basis. The underlying performance in the three business units is consistent with previous guidance given. The new presentation provides greater visibility into the growth and margin profile of our go-forward portfolio, reinforcing the outlook for IFF’s continuing operations and our ability to create long-term shareholder value.”

Sale of Food Ingredients Disposal Group
On May 29, 2026, IFF announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Food Ingredients disposal group, which was included in the Food Ingredients segment, to CVC Capital Partners for net cash proceeds of approximately $3.8 billion, subject to customary transaction adjustments. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and receipt of regulatory approvals. As part of the transaction, IFF will retain an approximately 10% minority equity interest in the business enabling continued collaboration and cooperation between IFF and Food Ingredients.
Stranded costs related to this transaction represent approximately $100 million of corporate and functional expenses previously allocated to the Food Ingredients business that are expected to remain with IFF following the close of the transaction. IFF has a remediation plan in place, with actions underway, and expects to eliminate approximately two thirds of these costs within the first year following the transaction close, and substantially all within two years following transaction close.
On March 2, 2026, the Company completed the divestiture of the SCL disposal group, which was also included in the Food Ingredients segment. The divestitures were part of a combined strategy by IFF to divest the majority of its Food Ingredients segment and strengthen its portfolio.
As a result, beginning in the second quarter of 2026, the financial results of the Food Ingredients disposal group and the financial results of the SCL disposal group prior to its divestiture on March 2, 2026, are reflected in IFF’s Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations, along with comparative periods.
The classification of the Food Ingredients and SCL businesses as discontinued operations reflects the Company’s continued focus on its remaining innovation-led, higher-growth and higher-margin segments: Taste, Scent and Health & Biosciences. On a continuing operations basis, the Company delivered second quarter 2026 Adjusted Operating EBITDA margin of 20.9%, an improvement compared to 19.7% including discontinued operations.
Share Repurchase Authorization
The Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an enhanced share repurchase authorization with a total value of $2.5 billion; this amount included approximately $400 million remaining on its prior authorization. Under the program, the Board of Directors also authorized an accelerated share repurchase of $500 million, which the Company expects to execute in the second half of 2026. The remaining $2.0 billion share repurchase is expected to be executed following the closing of the Food Ingredients disposal group divestiture, with an expected completion of the program by the end of 2027. The Board will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustment of its term and size. The Company plans to fund repurchases from cash

provided by operating activities, short-term debt and net cash proceeds provided by the divestiture of the Food Ingredients disposal group.
Financial Guidance1
The Company has provided financial guidance to reflect the separation of the Food Ingredients disposal group and SCL disposal group as discontinued operations. For continuing operations, the Company expects full year 2026 sales to be in the range of $7.4 billion to $7.6 billion excluding approximately $3.2 billion related to discontinued operations. For the full year 2026 adjusted operating EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $1.53 billion to $1.60 billion, excluding approximately $520 million related to discontinued operations.
On a continuing operations basis, the Company expects comparable currency neutral sales growth to be between 2% to 4%, and comparable currency neutral adjusted operating EBITDA growth to be 4% to 8%.
Based on recent market foreign exchange rates, the Company continues to expect that foreign exchange will have an approximately 1% positive impact on sales growth and have an approximately 2% positive impact on adjusted operating EBITDA growth in 2026.

We provide in this press release non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) comparable currency neutral sales; (ii) adjusted operating EBITDA and comparable currency neutral adjusted operating EBITDA; (iii) adjusted operating EBITDA margin; (iv) adjusted EPS ex amortization; (v) free cash flow; and (vi) net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts and percentages in this press release reflect the results from continuing operations, with the exception of the Statements of Cash Flows and net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA which are presented on a combined continuing and discontinued basis.
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 segment performance. We also use currency neutral numbers when analyzing our performance against that of our competitors.
Comparable results for the second quarter exclude the impact of divestitures.
Adjusted operating EBITDA and adjusted operating EBITDA margin exclude depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other expense, net, and certain non-recurring or unusual items that are not part of recurring operations such as impairment of goodwill, restructuring and other charges, losses (gains on business disposals, loss on assets classified as held for sale, divestiture costs, strategic initiatives costs, regulatory costs, gain on debt extinguishment, entity realignment and other items.
Adjusted EPS ex Amortization excludes the impact of non-operational items including restructuring and other charges, divestiture costs, losses (gains) on business disposals, strategic initiatives costs, regulatory costs and other items that are not a part of recurring operations.
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 agreements and defined as net debt (which is debt for borrowed money less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12-month credit adjusted EBITDA. Credit adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, specified items and non-cash items.
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-
5
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.
The Company cannot reconcile its expected adjusted operating EBITDA 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 divestiture costs, gains (losses) on business disposals, and regulatory costs.
