Management Commentary

"I am thrilled to join IFF at such an important and dynamic time for the company and our industry," said IFF CEO Erik Fyrwald. "In the fourth quarter, IFF delivered solid results, including a sequential improvement in volume and double-digit adjusted operating EBITDA growth on a comparable currency neutral basis. In line with our commitment to strengthen our capital structure, we have updated our dividend policy to enable faster deleveraging and provide improved financial flexibility. As we look ahead, we recognize that the operating environment remains uncertain, yet we are cautiously optimistic that we can deliver improved financial results for our shareholders in 2024."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Consolidated Financial Results

  • Reported net sales for the fourth quarter were $2.70 billion, a decrease of 5% compared to the prior year period. On a comparable basis2, currency neutral sales1 increased 1% versus the prior year period, led by growth in Scent and Health & Biosciences. Volume performance continued to improve sequentially across nearly all businesses and pricing remained solid.
  • Loss before taxes on a reported basis for the fourth quarter was $2.64 billion, largely driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.6 billion. Adjusted operating EBITDA1 for the fourth quarter was $461 million. On a comparable basis2, currency neutral adjusted operating EBITDA1 increased 17% led by favorable net pricing and productivity gains.
  • Reported earnings (loss) per share (EPS) for the fourth quarter was $(10.21). Adjusted EPS excluding amortization1 was $0.72 per diluted share.

Nourish Segment

  • On a reported basis, sales were $1.39 billion.

  • Pharma Solutions adjusted operating EBITDA1 was $26 million and adjusted operating EBITDA margin1 was 12.8% in the fourth quarter. On a comparable basis2, currency neutral adjusted operating EBITDA1 declined 13% as pricing and productivity gains were more than offset by lower volumes.

  • Reported net sales for the full year were $11.48 billion, a decrease of 8% compared to the prior year period. On a comparable basis2, currency neutral sales1 decreased 1%, as strong growth in Scent and resiliency in Health & Biosciences was offset by softness in Nourish and Pharma Solutions.
  • Loss before taxes on a reported basis for the full year was $2.52 billion, largely driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.6 billion. Adjusted operating EBITDA1 for the full year was $1.98 billion. On a comparable basis2, currency neutral adjusted operating EBITDA1 decreased 10%, as strong pricing and productivity gains were more than offset primarily by lower volumes, including unfavorable manufacturing absorption related to the Company's inventory reduction program.

2024 Financial Guidance

Full year 2024 sales are expected to be in the range of $10.8 billion to $11.1 billion and full year 2024 adjusted operating EBITDA to be in the range of $1.9 billion to $2.1 billion. In light of the continued macroeconomic uncertainty, the Company expects volume to be 0% to 3%, with improved trends across the majority of the portfolio. Pricing is expected to decline approximately 2.5%, principally driven by reductions in Functional Ingredients and Fragrance Ingredients, given lower input costs and competitive dynamics. Comparable currency neutral adjusted operating EBITDA is expected to grow at a faster rate than sales, growing 3% to 11% driven by improving volumes and productivity gains.

Based on current market foreign exchange rates, the Company expects that foreign exchange will have a 0% to 1% adverse impact to sales growth and an approximately 2% to 3% adverse impact to adjusted operating EBITDA growth in 2024.

The Company cannot reconcile its expected adjusted operating EBITDA 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 acquisition, divestiture and integration related costs, gains (losses) on business disposals, and regulatory costs.

Dividend Policy Update

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors, together with the management team, updated the company’s dividend policy, reducing the expected quarterly dividend approximately 50% to $0.40 per share (implying $1.60 per share annually). With this announcement, the Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share of its common stock, payable on April 10, 2024 to shareholders of record as of March 22, 2024.

The Company is right-sizing the dividend to enable faster deleveraging of the balance sheet and provide improved financial flexibility. IFF’s dividend is an important part of its capital allocation framework, and the Company is committed to providing a competitive yield.

Impairment of Goodwill

The Company has determined that for the fourth quarter of 2023 the carrying value of the Nourish reporting unit exceeded its fair value and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $2.6 billion in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The primary drivers of the goodwill impairment are related to increases in interest rates and lower business projections due to volume declines mainly in Functional Ingredients, continued cost inflation, and unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K will be available on its website at www.iff.com or at www.sec.gov by February 29, 2024.

A live webcast to discuss the Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results will be held on February 21, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. ET.

The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the Company (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the Company. Please refer to Part I. Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023 for additional information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

We intend our forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time of such statements and do not undertake or plan to update or revise them as more information becomes available or to reflect changes in expectations, assumptions or results. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this press release or included in our other periodic reports filed with the SEC could materially and adversely impact our operations and our future financial results. Any public statements or disclosures made by us following this press release that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this press release will be deemed to modify or supersede such outlook or other forward-looking statements in or accompanying this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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.

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 subsidiary or segment performance. We also use currency neutral numbers when analyzing our performance against our competitors.

Adjusted operating EBITDA and adjusted operating EBITDA margin exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, other (expense) income, net, and certain non-recurring or unusual items that are not part of recurring operations such as, restructuring and other charges, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition, divestiture, and integration related costs, strategic initiatives costs, regulatory costs, impact of business divestitures, impact of business acquisitions and other items.

Adjusted EPS ex Amortization excludes the impact of non-operational items including, restructuring and other charges, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition, divestiture, and integration related costs, losses (gains) on business disposals, gain on China facility relocation, 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.

Comparable results for the fourth quarter and full year exclude the impact of divestitures and acquisitions.

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-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 acquisition, divestiture and integration related costs, gains (losses) on business disposals, and regulatory costs.
