Sensient Technologies (NYSE: SXT) boosts Q2 profit and margins
Sensient Technologies Corporation reported higher results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue rose to $462.1 million from $414.2 million a year earlier, with net earnings of $51,359 thousand versus $37,587 thousand. Diluted EPS increased to $1.20 from $0.88. For the first six months, revenue was $897.9 million and net earnings $95,529 thousand, up from $806.6 million and $72,049 thousand, with diluted EPS of $2.24 versus $1.69.
Gross margin improved to 37.4% in the quarter and 36.2% year-to-date, helped by $4.8 million of tariff refunds, higher volumes, and higher selling prices, partly offset by increased raw material costs. Operating income rose to $76,700 thousand (16.6% margin) from $57,706 thousand (13.9%), and adjusted EBITDA reached $98,194 thousand versus $80,044 thousand. The company has completed its Portfolio Optimization Plan, which had total costs of about $50 million and is anticipated to reduce annual operating costs by approximately $8 million beginning in 2026.
At June 30, 2026, total assets were $2,371,103 thousand and long-term debt was $763,499 thousand, up from $709,232 thousand, reflecting issuance of €65 million of 4.00% senior notes and additional borrowings. Operating cash flow for the first half was $34,847 thousand, with capital expenditures of $67,513 thousand. Cash and cash equivalents were $31,019 thousand. The company declared quarterly dividends of $0.41 per share, with 42,562,811 common shares outstanding as of July 22, 2026.

6 terms
Portfolio Optimization Plan financial
"approved a plan to undertake an effort to optimize certain production facilities and improve efficiencies within the Company (Portfolio Optimization Plan)."
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes restructuring and other costs, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, and non-cash share based compensation expense."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
cash flow hedges financial
"Certain forward exchange contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges."
A cash flow hedge is an accounting label companies use when they enter financial contracts—like currency or interest-rate agreements—to protect expected future cash payments or receipts from unpredictable moves. For investors, it signals that the company is trying to smooth out future cash variability (think of locking in a price to avoid surprises), which can reduce reported profit swings but also means the company has exposure to derivative instruments and their associated risks.
net investment hedges financial
"The Company has designated certain foreign currency denominated long-term borrowings as partial hedges of the Company’s foreign currency net asset positions."
A net investment hedge is a financial step a company takes to protect the reported value of its ownership in foreign subsidiaries from swings in exchange rates. By using derivatives or foreign‑currency borrowings to offset translation gains or losses, the company reduces how much its balance sheet and reported equity jump around when currencies move — like locking a price tag on a foreign store so its value in the home currency stays steadier for investors.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss financial
"Changes in the fair value of this debt attributable to changes in spot foreign exchange rates are recorded in foreign currency translation in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (OCL)."
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is the running negative total of certain gains and losses that companies record outside their regular profit-and-loss statement, such as changes in the value of some investments, pension adjustments, or currency translation effects. It matters to investors because it reduces shareholders’ equity and reveals economic swings that haven’t affected reported net income yet — like a side ledger showing pending ups and downs that could influence future cash flow or balance-sheet strength.
delayed-draw term loan credit facility financial
"provides for an unsecured delayed-draw term loan credit facility (Term Loan) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million."

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2026, and the
results of operations, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. 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 December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires 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 also requires 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 adopted this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2025 using a prospective transition method. The Company updated its annual disclosures as a result of adopting this ASU,
and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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, 2025, for additional details of the Company’s financial condition and a description of the Company’s accounting policies, which have been continued without change.

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

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, at which point the held for sale criteria was met. These are the sole assets
recorded in Fixed assets held for sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025. The Company sold the land and building assets in February 2026 for approximately $2.0 million, resulting in a $0.4 million
gain recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2026. There were no
The total cost of the
Portfolio Optimization Plan was approximately $50 million, 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, with the full benefit
expected to be achieved beginning in 2026. 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 allowance for doubtful accounts during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Inventories
|
At June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, inventories included finished and in-process products totaling $512.4
million and $491.4 million, respectively, and raw materials and supplies of $206.7 million and $186.8

Debt
|
On March 27,
2026, the Company issued €65 million of Euro-denominated senior notes under the Amended and Restated Consolidated Note Purchase and Master Note Agreement, maturing in
March 2030 and bearing an interest rate of 4.00 %. The
proceeds were used to repay a portion of the Company’s existing revolving credit facility.
On June 18, 2026, the Company entered into a
Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with CoBank, ACB, and the lenders party thereto from time to time. The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured delayed-draw term loan credit facility (Term Loan) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million, which is to be drawn in up to five
advances over fifteen months following the closing date. All amounts owing under the Term Loan will be due five years from the closing date. Proceeds from the Credit Agreement will be used to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital and other
general corporate purposes. There were no draws made on the Term Loan as of June 30, 2026.

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, 2026
and December 31, 2025. 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 $1.1 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31,
2025, 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $763.7 million and $709.5 million,
respectively. The fair value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $772.9 million and $720.9 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), restructuring and other charges, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, and
other costs (which are reported in Corporate & Other), interest expense, and income taxes.
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), restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs as further described in Note 3, Portfolio Optimization Plan, and certain other 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 $45.0 million and $49.9 million of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 no
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, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the total value of the Company’s net investment
hedges, which included Euro denominated long-term debt, was $300.9 million and $309.5 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of this debt attributable to changes in spot foreign exchange rates are recorded in foreign currency translation in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (OCL). For the three months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments
decreased debt by $3.4 million and increased debt by $26.8 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCL. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments decreased
debt by $8.5 million and increased debt by $39.6
million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCL.
| 11. |
Income Taxes
|
The
effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 25.1 % and 25.3 %, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the effective income tax rates were 25.0 % and 25.3 %, respectively. The effective tax rates for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were both impacted by the mix of foreign earnings and changes in estimates associated with the finalization of prior year foreign tax items.

OVERVIEW
Revenue
Revenue was $462.1 million and $414.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue was $897.9 million and $806.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in revenue for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to higher volumes and selling prices and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates that increased revenue by approximately 2% and 3%, respectively.
Gross Margin
The Company’s gross margin was 37.4% and 34.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s gross margin was 36.2% and 34.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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. See Portfolio Optimization Plan below
for further information. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received $4.8 million of tariff refunds that improved gross margin by 100 and 50 basis points, respectively. The Company’s gross margins for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2026 were further impacted by the higher volumes and selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.8% and 20.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.3% for both the six months ended June
30, 2026 and 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, selling and administrative expenses were increased by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $1.6 and $2.6 million, respectively, which increased selling and administrative
expenses as a percent of revenue by approximately 40 basis points for each period. See Portfolio Optimization Plan below for further information. After the effects of the Portfolio Optimization Costs in
2025, the increase in selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2026.
15
Index
Operating Income
Operating income was $76.7 million and $57.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating margins were 16.6% and 13.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating income was
$143.4 million and $111.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating margins were 16.0% and 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The tariff refunds increased operating margins by
approximately 100 and 50 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Portfolio Optimization Plan costs decreased operating margins by approximately 80 basis points for both the three and six months ended June 30,
2025. The Company’s operating margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were further impacted by the higher volumes and selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher performance-based executive compensation
costs incurred in 2026.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $8.2 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $16.1 million and $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in expense for both
the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in the average outstanding debt balance.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 25.1% and 25.3%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the effective income tax rates were 25.0% and 25.3%, respectively. The effective
tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were both impacted by the mix of foreign earnings and changes in estimates associated with the finalization of prior year foreign tax items.
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, at which point the held
for sale criteria was met. These are the sole assets recorded in Fixed assets held for sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025. The Company sold the land and building assets in
February 2026 for approximately $2.0 million, resulting in a $0.4 million gain recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the three months
ended March 31, 2026. The Company has completed all actions contemplated under the Portfolio Optimization Plan.
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. The Company did not incur any costs related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026.

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, and other 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 $213.2 million and $203.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of approximately 5%. The increase was a result of higher revenue in Agricultural Ingredients
and Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients. The higher revenue in Agricultural Ingredients was due to higher volumes and selling prices. The higher revenue in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients was primarily due to higher selling prices
and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates that increased segment revenue by approximately 1%.
Flavors & Extracts segment revenue was $415.0 million and $396.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of approximately 5%. The increase was a result of higher revenue in Flavors, Extracts &
Flavor Ingredients and Agricultural Ingredients. The higher revenue in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients was primarily due to higher selling prices and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates that increased segment revenue by

Flavors & Extracts segment operating income was $30.4 million and $28.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of approximately 7%. The higher segment operating income was primarily a result of
higher operating income in Agricultural Ingredients, primarily due to higher selling prices and favorable product mix, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Segment operating income as a percent of revenue was 14.3% in the current quarter
compared to 14.0% in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Foreign exchange rates increased segment operating income by approximately 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Flavors & Extracts segment operating income was $57.2 million and $53.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of approximately 7%. The higher segment operating income was a result of higher
operating income in Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients and Agricultural Ingredients. The higher segment operating income for Flavors, Extracts & Flavor Ingredients was primarily due to higher selling prices, favorable product mix, and
higher volumes, partially offset by higher manufacturing and other costs. The higher segment operating income for Agricultural Ingredients was primarily due to higher selling prices. Segment operating income as a percent of revenue was 13.8% in the
current six month period compared to 13.5% in the prior year’s comparable six month period. Foreign exchange rates increased segment operating income by approximately 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Index
Color
Segment revenue for the Color segment was $216.1 million and $179.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of approximately 21%. The increase was a result of higher revenue in Food & Pharmaceutical
Colors and Personal Care. The higher revenue in Food & Pharmaceutical Colors was due to higher volumes, including higher volumes associated with natural colors conversion activity, the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, and higher
selling prices. The higher revenue in Personal Care was due to higher volumes, the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates, and higher selling prices. Foreign exchange rates increased segment revenue by approximately 3% for the three months ended
June 30, 2026.

19
Index

The Corporate & Other operating expense was $19.2 million and $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The higher operating expense was primarily due to higher performance-based executive compensation
costs incurred in 2026, partially offset by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $3.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. See the Portfolio Optimization Plan section above for further
information.
The Corporate & Other operating expense was $32.5 million and $34.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The lower operating expense was primarily due to Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $6.2 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2026. See the Portfolio Optimization Plan section above for further information.
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, 2026. The Company expects to increase its existing indebtedness in the
short-term to further support the increased cash requirements for operations and capital expenditures associated with the natural colors conversion activity. In the long-term, the Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations and 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 2026 through 2030. 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 months ended June 30, 2026.
The Company has experienced increased costs for certain inputs, such as raw materials, energy, shipping and logistics, packaging, and labor-related costs. We continue to expect to manage these impacts in the near term, but persistent, accelerated, or
expanded inflationary conditions, including any heightened inflationary pressures resulting from the conflict between the United States and Iran and its aftermath, could exacerbate these challenges and impact our profitability.
The Company continues to monitor developments with respect to tariffs and other trade policy matters closely, including impacts from the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act (“IEEPA”) and other litigation, as well as the implementation of additional tariffs. As of June 30, 2026, we have received approximately $5 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, which included applicable interest. We do not anticipate receiving any
further tariff refunds in the future. The tariffs imposed by the United States, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on United States exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. As a result of these
ongoing tariff-related actions, 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, or other trade barriers are implemented, 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 implemented through 2027. These provisions did not have a material impact on our
effective tax rate for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026. We will continue to assess the OBBBA tax provisions and their impacts on our consolidated financial statements.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $34.8 million and $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash used by
inventory during 2026 compared to 2025 and a decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in cash provided by accounts payable and other accrued expenses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $65.8 million and $41.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Capital expenditures were $67.5 million and $38.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and
2025, respectively. In 2026, the Company received $2.0 million for the sale of the Felinfach land and building assets. In 2025, the Company paid $4.9 million for the acquisition of Biolie SAS.
20
Index
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $23.5 million and $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net debt increased by $62.8 million and $63.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025,
respectively. The cash proceeds from the increase in net debt in the current period were primarily used to support natural color conversion capital expenditure investments during the six months ended June 30, 2026. For purposes of the cash flow
statement, net changes in debt exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Dividends of $34.9 million and $34.7 million were paid during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total dividends of $0.82 per share were paid for
both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
