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 hasone 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.

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.

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’sthree 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.

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 werenot 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, 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.

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.

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.

On July 23, 2026, the Company announced its quarterly dividend of $0.41 per share would be payable on September 1, 2026.
