Management Commentary

“We delivered solid first quarter financials, achieving top and bottom-line growth, against a strong year-ago comparison in our first quarter as a combined company,” said IFF Chairman and CEO Andreas Fibig. “Our results are indicative of strong execution by our global team and our best-in-class portfolio of industry-leading solutions. We are also encouraged by the progress we’ve made towards our integration efforts as we are on track to deliver our previously communicated objectives.”

IFF Executive Vice President and CFO, Rustom Jilla commented, “We are pleased with how we've started the year with the first quarter’s sales, operating expenses, profitability and debt leverage all ending better than we had expected. At the core of our performance was strong cost discipline and a focus on cash generation, which enabled us to make faster progress towards lowering our debt leverage ratio.”

Andreas Fibig concluded, “Today, I’m pleased to also announce that we have entered into an agreement to divest our fruit preparation business. This marks the first step of our portfolio optimization strategy, where we are enhancing shareholder value through divestitures of non-core businesses.”

First Quarter 2021 Consolidated Financial Results

  • Reported net sales for the first quarter were $2.47 billion, an increase of 83% compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by the incremental sales related to the merger with Nutrition & Biosciences ("N&B"). On a combined basis2, sales increased 3% or 1% on a currency neutral basis, driven by strong performances in Scent & Pharma Solutions. Combined currency neutral sales growth would have been approximately 3% if not for the change to calendar reporting, as there were 2 additional sales days in IFF’s prior comparative quarter.
  • Loss before taxes on a reported basis for the first quarter was $(54) million. Adjusted operating EBITDA for the first quarter was $569 million, an increase of 88% from $303 million in 2020 driven primarily by the incremental profit related to the merger with N&B. On a combined basis2, adjusted operating EBITDA increased 4%, and adjusted operating EBITDA margin expanded by 30 bps to 23.1%, led by strong cost management.
  • Reported earnings per share (EPS) for the first quarter was $(0.21). Adjusted EPS excluding amortization was $1.60 per diluted share.
  • Cash flow from operations for the first quarter was strong at $358 million, and free cash flow defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures totaled $265 million. Net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA at the end of the first quarter was 4.3x.

Fruit Preparation Divestiture

IFF has entered into an agreement to divest its fruit preparation business to Frulact, who specialize in fruit preparations for the food & beverage industry. IFF’s fruit preparation business produces fruit, vegetable, herb, meat and fish preparation solutions for the food, beverage, and pet food markets. The divestiture is expected to close in the third quarter 2021, pending customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The fruit preparation business contributed approximately $70 million to IFF's Nourish segment pro forma sales in 2020. Full financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.

Financial Guidance

The Company updates 2021 financial guidance on a combined basis, which is defined as a full 12 months of legacy IFF results, and 11 months (excludes January) of N&B results, in the 2021 period, in light of the merger completion on February 1, 2021.

Rustom Jilla finished, “We have increased our sales forecast for the full year, driven by higher volumes, foreign exchange, and pricing actions to help reduce the impact of higher raw material and logistics costs. This, combined with our focus on cost reduction, gives us confidence that we can achieve our full year adjusted operating EBITDA goal on a combined basis.”

Previous full year guidance was based on a full 12 months of estimated results for both legacy IFF and N&B. In January 2021, N&B actual sales were approximately $507 million and adjusted operating EBITDA was $107 million.

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.

An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this report 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 report that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this report will be deemed to modify or supersede such outlook or other forward-looking statements in or accompanying this report.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We provide in this press release non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) combined currency neutral sales; (ii) adjusted operating EBITDA and combined adjusted operating EBITDA; (iii) adjusted EBITDA margin and combined 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 excludes the impact of non-operational items including operational improvement initiatives, integration related costs, net restructuring and other charges, Frutarom acquisition related costs, compliance review and defense costs, N&B transaction and integration related costs and non-cash items, including gains/losses on sale of assets, FDA mandated product recall and the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets.

Adjusted EPS ex Amortization excludes the impact of non-operational items including operational improvement initiatives, integration related costs, restructuring and other charges net, compliance review and defense costs, N&B transaction and integration related costs, non-cash items including gains on sale of assets, FDA mandated product recall, redemption value adjustment to EPS and the amortization of acquisition related intangible assets.

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 agreement and defined as Net debt (which is long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12-month credit adjusted EBITDA. Credit adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, specified items and non-cash items.

Combined historical results for the first quarter is defined as 3 months of legacy IFF results, and 2 months (February and March) of N&B results, in both the 2020 and 2021 periods, to allow comparability in light of the merger completion on February 1, 2021. Combined historical results for the full year is defined as 12 months of legacy IFF results, and 11 months (excluding January) of N&B results.

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.

Effective in the first quarter of 2021, the Company elected to change the profit or loss measure of the Company's reportable segments from Segment Operating Profit to Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA for internal reporting and performance measurement purposes. Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA is defined as (Loss) Income Before Taxes before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, restructuring and other charges, net and certain non-recurring items. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect these changes in segment profitability measures. Our determination of reportable segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities within each segment and corresponds to the manner in which our chief operating decision maker reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. In addition to our strategic priorities, segment reporting is also based on differences in the products and services we provide. As a result, we added two new reportable segments - Health & Biosciences and Pharma Solutions. Nourish is composed of IFF’s legacy Taste segment and N&B’s Food & Beverage segment. The Scent and Health & Biosciences segments include a component of the legacy Taste segment.
