NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Registrant,” “IFF,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leading creator and manufacturer of food, beverage, health & biosciences, scent and pharma solutions and complementary adjacent products, including cosmetic active and natural health ingredients, which are used in a wide variety of consumer products. Our products are sold principally to manufacturers of perfumes and cosmetics, hair and other personal care products, soaps and detergents, cleaning products, dairy, meat and other processed foods, beverages, snacks and savory foods, sweet and baked goods, sweeteners, dietary supplements, food protection, infant and elderly nutrition, functional food, and pharmaceutical excipients and oral care products.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2021 Form 10-K”).

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, if not materially different from the 2021 Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q was derived from the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, have been made.

On February 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company completed the combination (the “Merger”) of IFF and DuPont de Nemours, Inc (“DuPont”) nutrition and biosciences business (the “N&B Business”), which had been transferred to Nutrition and Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont (“N&B”) in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. See Note 3 for additional information. As a result, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflect the results of N&B for the full three and nine months in the period ended September 30, 2022, respectively, whereas the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflect three and eight months of results of N&B in the period ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Reporting Periods

The Company uses a calendar year of the twelve-month period from January 1 to December 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The inputs into the Company’s judgments and estimates take into account the current economic implications of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), the recent events in Russia and Ukraine, and the ongoing adverse macroeconomic impacts on our critical and significant accounting estimates, including estimates associated with future cash flows that are used in assessing the risk of impairment of certain assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:


(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Current assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	538	$	711	$	672	$	650
Restricted cash	10		4		122		7
Noncurrent assets
Restricted cash included in Other assets	7		1		1		3
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	555	$	716	$	795	$	660

Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable

The Company has various factoring agreements in the U.S. and The Netherlands under which it can factor up to approximately $250 million in receivables. In addition, the Company has factoring agreements sponsored by certain customers. Under all of the arrangements, the Company sells the receivables on a non-recourse basis to unrelated financial institutions and accounts for the transactions as a sale of receivables. The applicable receivables are removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets when the cash proceeds are received by the Company.

The impact on cash flows from operating activities from participating in these programs was a decrease of approximately $24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and an increase of approximately $40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The cost of participating in these programs was approximately $3 million and $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was approximately $6 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Sales, value added, and other taxes the Company collects are excluded from revenues. The Company receives payment in accordance with standard customer terms. See Note 12 for further details on revenues disaggregated by segment.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

With respect to a small number of contracts for the sale of compounds, the Company has an “enforceable right to payment for performance to date” and as the products do not have an alternative use, the Company recognizes revenue for these contracts over time and records a contract asset using the output method. The output method recognizes revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s gross accounts receivable was $2.088 billion and $1.952 billion, respectively. The Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were not material.

Expected Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its sales of products. To determine the appropriate allowance for expected credit losses, the Company considers certain credit quality indicators, such as aging, collection history, and creditworthiness of debtors. Regional and Global Credit committees review and approve specific customer allowance reserves. The allowance for expected credit losses is primarily based on two primary factors: i) the aging of the different categories of trade receivables, and ii) a specific reserve for accounts identified as uncollectible.

The Company also considers current and future economic conditions in the determination of the allowance. At September 30, 2022, the Company reported $2.031 billion of trade receivables, net of allowances of $57 million. Based on the aging analysis as of September 30, 2022, approximately 1% of the Company’s accounts receivable were past due by over 365 days based on the payment terms of the invoice.

The following is a rollforward of the Company’s allowances for bad debts for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:


(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)	Allowances for Bad Debts
Balance at December 31, 2021	$	46
Bad debt expense(1)	17


Foreign exchange	(6)
Balance at September 30, 2022	$	57

_______________________

(1)The bad debt expense included approximately $11 million related to expected credit losses on receivables from customers located in Russia and Ukraine (for export and domestic sales) due to recent events in those countries. The Company will continue to evaluate its credit exposure related to Russia and Ukraine.

Table of Contents

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in business conditions indicate that their carrying value may not be recovered. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by an asset or group of assets is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If assets are determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on an estimate of fair value using various valuation techniques, including a discounted estimate of future cash flows.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business acquisitions.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level as of November 30 every year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component) to which goodwill is assigned when initially recorded.

The Company identifies its reporting units by assessing whether the components of its reporting segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and management of each reporting unit regularly reviews the operating results of those components. The Company has identified six reporting units under the Nourish, Health & Biosciences, Scent and Pharma Solutions segments: (1) Nourish, (2) Fragrance Compounds, (3) Fragrance Ingredients, (4) Cosmetic Actives, (5) Health & Biosciences and (6) Pharma Solutions. These reporting units were determined based on the level at which the performance is measured and reviewed by segment management. In cases where the components of an operating segment have similar economic characteristics; they are aggregated into a single reporting unit.

The Company determined that the carrying value of the Health & Biosciences reporting unit exceeded its fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $2.250 billion in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 6 for additional information).

Recent Events in Russia and Ukraine

The Company maintains operations in both Russia and Ukraine and, additionally, exports products to customers in Russia and Ukraine from operations outside the region. In response to the events in Ukraine, the Company has limited the production and supply of ingredients in and to Russia to only those that meet the essential needs of people, including food, hygiene and medicine.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the second quarter of 2022, the sales and margins declined for certain entities within Russia due to supply chain issues, reduced product demand and exchange rate volatility. Further, it was determined that such declines in operating performance were not expected to reverse in the near future. Additionally, future expected growth is expected to be limited given operating conditions in Russia, which inhibit the required future investment.

In connection with uncertainties related to the Company’s operations in Russia and Ukraine, the Company updated its analysis of the undiscounted cash flows of the applicable asset groups to determine if the cash flows exceeded the carrying values of the applicable asset groups. With respect to an asset group in the Nourish segment, that manufactures and sells in Russia and related markets, it was determined that the undiscounted cash flows were insufficient to cover the carrying value and that an impairment charge was required to write-down the long-lived assets to their fair values. The fair value of such asset group was determined based on a discounted cash flow approach which involved estimating the future cash flows for the business discount to their present values. The discount rate used in the determination of such fair value was based on consideration of the risks inherent in the cash flows and market as of the valuation date.

As a result of this assessment, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $120 million in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss during the second quarter of 2022, which was allocated on a pro rata basis to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment within the asset group in the amounts of approximately $92 million and $28 million, respectively.

Allowances for Bad Debts

As indicated above, through the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company also recorded a charge of approximately $11 million related to expected credit losses on receivables from customers located in Russia and Ukraine (for export and domestic sales) due to recent events in those countries. The Company will continue to evaluate its credit exposure related to Russia and Ukraine.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance.” The ASU requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. This guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU is intended to provide specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. An acquirer needs to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 during the second quarter of 2022. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

_______________________

(1)On September 15, 2021, additional shares of IFF’s common stock were issued in settlement of the stock purchase contract (“SPC”) portion of the tangible equity units (“TEUs”). See below for additional information.

(2)Effect of dilutive securities includes dilution under stock plans and incremental impact of TEUs. See below for additional information.

(3)For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the basic and diluted net loss per share cannot be recalculated based on the information presented in the table above due to rounding.

As of the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of N&B (except for shares of common stock of N&B held by N&B as treasury stock or by DuPont, which were canceled and ceased to exist and no consideration was delivered in exchange therefor) was converted into the right to receive one share of common stock of IFF. The Merger was completed in exchange for 141,740,461 shares of IFF common stock, par value $0.125 per share (or cash payment in lieu of fractional shares), which had been approved in the special shareholder meeting that occurred on August 27, 2020 where IFF shareholders voted to approve the issuance of shares of IFF common stock in connection with the N&B Transaction, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The shares issued in the Merger represented approximately 55.4% of the common stock of IFF on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the Merger, as of February 1, 2021.

Table of Contents

The Company declared a quarterly dividend to its shareholders of $0.81 and $0.79 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company declared quarterly dividends to its shareholders totaling $2.39 and $2.33, respectively.

There were approximately 0.3 million and 0.4 million potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, because there was a net loss attributable to IFF for the periods and, as such, the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were approximately 0.3 million stock options or stock-settled appreciation rights (“SSARs”) that had an anti-dilutive effect and therefore were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. There were no stock options or SSARs excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company issued 16,500,000 TEUs, consisting of a prepaid SPC and a senior amortizing note, for net proceeds of $800 million on September 17, 2018. On September 14, 2021, the Company notified holders of the TEUs that the final settlement rate in respect of each SPC was 0.330911 shares of IFF’s common stock. On September 15, 2021, 5,460,031 shares of IFF's common stock were issued in settlement of the SPCs. The SPC conversion factor is based on the 20 day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of the Company’s common stock. For purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share, the settlement rate of 0.330911 shares per SPC, the final settlement rate, on September 30, 2021 was used.

The Company has issued shares of purchased restricted common stock units (“PRSUs”) which contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends while these shares are outstanding and thus are considered participating securities. Such securities are required to be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

The Company did not present the two-class method since there was no difference between basic net (loss) income per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. There was no difference between diluted net loss per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The difference between diluted net income per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was less than $0.01 per share. In addition, the number of PRSUs outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 was not material. Net loss allocated to such PRSUs was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and net income allocated to such PRSUs was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Health Wright Products

On April 1, 2022 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of Health Wright Products, Inc. (“Health Wright”). IFF acquired 100% of the equity of Health Wright pursuant to a purchase agreement entered into on February 16, 2022. Health Wright is known in the consumer Health and Nutrition industries for providing high quality nutritional supplements. The acquisition was made in order to strengthen formulation and finished format capabilities to IFF’s Health & Biosciences probiotics, natural extracts and botanical businesses.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. The fair value of consideration transferred was approximately $157 million, including cash and estimated contingent consideration of $31 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation has been performed and resulted in intangible assets of approximately $75 million, and approximately $45 million of goodwill (which is deductible for tax purposes). The intangible assets primarily consisted of customer relationships of approximately $74 million that have been fair valued using the Multi-Period Excess Earning Method and which are being amortized over a period of approximately 19 years. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is expected to be completed within the measurement period.

No pro forma information for 2022 was presented as the acquisition was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Movements in goodwill attributable to each reportable segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were as follows:


(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)	Nourish		Health & Biosciences		Scent		Pharma Solutions		Total
Balance at December 31, 2021	$	6,555	$	6,749	$	1,828	$	1,282	$	16,414

Balance at September 30, 2022	$	6,169	$	4,204	$	1,744	$	1,188	$	13,305

Impairment of Goodwill

For the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined that goodwill impairment triggering events occurred for its Nourish, Health & Biosciences and Pharma Solutions reporting units, which required it to complete an interim impairment assessment. The primary indicators that were deemed to be triggering events in the quarter for the reporting units were declines in the Company's projections across various reporting units and ongoing adverse macroeconomic impacts such as inflation, increases in interest rates and unfavorable effects from exchange rates.

As a result of the triggering events, the Company assessed the fair value of the reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, the Company determines the fair value by using a discounted cash flow method at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the projected future cash flows of each reporting unit, as well as a terminal value. The Company uses the most current actual and forecasted operating data available. Key estimates and assumptions used in these valuations include revenue growth rates, gross margins, EBITDA margins, terminal growth rates and discount rates.

In performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined that the fair value of the Nourish and Pharma Solutions reporting units exceeded its carrying value, and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill relating to these reporting units. The Pharma Solutions reporting unit had excess fair value over carrying value of less than 10%. The Company determined that the carrying value of the Health & Biosciences reporting unit exceeded its fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $2.250 billion in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

While management believes that the assumptions used in the impairment test were reasonable, changes in key assumptions, including, lower revenue growth, lower gross margin, lower EBITDA margin, lower terminal growth rates or increasing discount rates could result in a future impairment and the Company may be required to write-off the remainder of, or a portion of, the remaining goodwill. Such charge could have a material effect on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets. These estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was (7.9)%, which was primarily driven by the recording of the tax effects of the divestiture of the Microbial Control business unit and book to tax differences related to the impairment of goodwill in the Health & Biosciences operating segment.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was (13.6)%, which was primarily driven by the recording of the tax effects of the divestiture of the Microbial Control business unit and book to tax differences related to the impairment of goodwill in the Health & Biosciences operating segment, offset in part by certain one-time benefits.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $129 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded in Other liabilities and no amounts recorded to Other current liabilities. If these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of approximately $34 million classified in Other liabilities and no amounts classified in Other current liabilities.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s aggregate provisions for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, was approximately $163 million associated with tax positions asserted in various jurisdictions.

The Company has ongoing income tax audits and legal proceedings which are at various stages of administrative or judicial review. In addition, the Company has open tax years with various taxing jurisdictions that range primarily from 2012 to 2021. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe the outcome of any of these tax audits and other tax positions related to open tax years, when finalized, will have a material impact on its results of operations.

The Company also has other ongoing tax audits and legal proceedings that relate to indirect taxes, such as value-added taxes, sales and use taxes and property taxes, which are discussed in Note 16.

The Company regularly repatriates earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries. As the Company repatriates these funds to the U.S., they will be required to pay income taxes in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes during the period when such repatriation occurs. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had a deferred tax liability of approximately $93 million for the effect of repatriating the funds to the U.S., attributable to various non-U.S. subsidiaries. There is no deferred tax liability associated with non-U.S. subsidiaries where we intend to indefinitely reinvest the earnings to fund local operations and/or capital projects.

NOTE 11. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has various plans under which its officers, senior management, other key employees and directors may be granted equity-based awards. Equity awards outstanding under the plans include PRSUs, RSUs, SSARs and Long-Term Incentive Plan awards. Liability-based awards outstanding under the plans are cash-settled RSUs.

Stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefits were as follows:

NOTE 14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

•Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company determines the fair value of structured liabilities (where performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks) using the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) swap curve and forward interest and exchange rates at period end. Such instruments are classified as Level 2 based on the observability of significant inputs to the model. The Company does not have any instruments classified as Level 3, other than those included in pension asset trusts as discussed in Note 15 of the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

These valuations take into consideration the Company’s credit risk and its counterparties’ credit risk. The estimated change in the fair value of these instruments due to such changes in its own credit risk (or instrument-specific credit risk) was not material as of September 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

The carrying values and the estimated fair values of financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the following:

_______________________

(1)The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

(2)The fair value of the Notes is based on market quoted price as there is an active market for the Notes and observable market data and inputs.

(3)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the interest rate is reset frequently based on current market rates as well as the short maturity of those instruments.

(4)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the instruments are marked-to-market and held at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(5)The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was calculated using discounted cash flows applying current interest rates and current credit spreads based on its own credit risk.

(6)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the Term Loans were assumed at fair value and the interest rate is reset frequently based on current market rates.

Derivatives

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts with the objective of reducing exposure to cash flow volatility associated with its intercompany loans and foreign currency receivables and payables. These contracts generally involve the exchange of one currency for a second currency at a future date, have maturities not exceeding twelve months and are with counterparties which are major international financial institutions.

Commodity Contracts

The Company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as soybeans, soybean oil and soybean meal.

Table of Contents

Cash Flow Hedges

Through the third quarter of 2021, the Company maintained several forward currency contracts which qualified as cash flow hedges. The objective of these hedges is to protect against the currency risk associated with forecasted U.S. dollar (“USD”) denominated raw material purchases made by Euro (“EUR”) functional currency entities which result from changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a component of Gains on derivatives qualifying as hedges in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss. Realized gains/(losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) related to cash flow hedges of raw material purchases are recognized as a component of Cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss in the same period as the related costs are recognized.

There were no cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Hedges Related to Issuances of Debt

As of September 30, 2022, the Company designated approximately $1.262 billion of Euro Notes as a hedge of a portion of its net European investments. Accordingly, the change in the value of the debt that is attributable to foreign exchange movements is recorded in OCI as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss.

Cross Currency Swaps

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a transaction to unwind the fourteen outstanding EUR/USD cross currency swaps designated as net investment hedges issued between the third quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2022. The Company received proceeds of approximately $183 million, including $11 million of interest income.

Following the unwinding of the existing swaps, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into twelve new EUR/USD cross currency swaps, with a notional value of $1.4 billion that mature through November 2030. The swaps all qualified as net investment hedges in order to mitigate a portion of the Company’s net European investments from foreign currency risk. As of September 30, 2022, the twelve swaps were in a net asset position with an aggregate fair value of $10 million, which were classified as Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value related to cross currency swaps are recorded in OCI.

The following table shows the notional amount of the Company’s derivative instruments outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees and Letters of Credit

The Company has various bank guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds which are used to support its ongoing business operations, satisfy governmental requirements associated with pending litigation in various jurisdictions and the payment of customs duties.

At September 30, 2022, the Company had total bank guarantees, commercial guarantees, standby letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $411 million with various financial institutions. Included in the above aggregate amount was a total of $10 million for other assessments in Brazil for various income tax and indirect tax disputes related to fiscal years 1998-2011. There was a total of approximately $20 million outstanding under the bank guarantees and standby letters of credit and approximately $90 million outstanding under the commercial guarantees as of September 30, 2022.

In order to challenge the assessments in these cases in Brazil, the Company has been required to, and has separately pledged assets, principally property, plant and equipment, to cover assessments in the amount of approximately $7 million as of September 30, 2022.

Lines of Credit

The Company has various lines of credit which are available to support its ongoing business operations. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had available lines of credit of approximately $1.848 billion with various financial institutions, in addition to the $1.489 billion of capacity under the Credit Facility. There were total draw downs of approximately $215 million pursuant to these lines of credit as of September 30, 2022, including approximately $204 million related to the issuance of commercial paper. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

Litigation

The Company assesses contingencies related to litigation and/or other matters to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss. A loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly sensitive and requires judgments about future events. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company reviews contingencies related to litigation to determine the adequacy of accruals. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates and further events may require the Company to increase or decrease the amounts it has accrued on any matter.

Table of Contents

Periodically, the Company assesses its insurance coverage for all known claims, where applicable, taking into account aggregate coverage by occurrence, limits of coverage, self-insured retentions and deductibles, historical claims experience and claims experience with its insurance carriers. The liabilities are recorded at management’s best estimate of the probable outcome of the lawsuits and claims, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the individual matters as well as past experience on similar matters. At each balance sheet date, the key issues that management assesses are whether it is probable that a loss as to asserted or unasserted claims has been incurred and if so, whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company records the expected liability with respect to claims in Other liabilities and expected recoveries from its insurance carriers in Other assets. The Company recognizes a receivable when it believes that realization of the insurance receivable is probable under the terms of the insurance policies and its payment experience to date.

Litigation Matters

On August 12, 2019, Marc Jansen filed a putative securities class action against IFF, its then Chairman and CEO, and its then-CFO, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit was filed after IFF disclosed that preliminary results of investigations indicated that Frutarom businesses operating principally in Russia and Ukraine had made improper payments to representatives of customers. On March 16, 2020, an amended complaint was filed, which added Frutarom and certain former officers of Frutarom as defendants. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants made materially false and misleading statements or omissions concerning IFF’s acquisition of Frutarom, the integration of the two companies, and the companies’ financial reporting and results. The amended complaint asserts claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, and under the Israeli Securities Act-1968, against all defendants, and under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the individual defendants, on behalf of a putative class of persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired IFF securities on the New York Stock Exchange between May 7, 2018 and August 12, 2019 and persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired IFF securities on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange between October 9, 2018 and August 12, 2019. The amended complaint seeks an award of unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and expenses. IFF, its officers, and Frutarom filed a motion to dismiss the case on June 26, 2020, which was granted on March 30, 2021. On April 28, 2021, lead plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Lead plaintiffs are pursuing the appeal only against Frutarom and certain former officers of Frutarom. The parties have submitted their briefs to the Court of Appeals. The Second Circuit held oral argument on February 10, 2022. On September 30, 2022, the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Plaintiffs' claims. On October 14, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a Petition for Rehearing En Banc, which is currently pending.

Two motions to approve securities class actions were filed in the Tel Aviv District Court, Israel, in August 2019, similarly alleging, among other things, false and misleading statements largely in connection with IFF’s acquisition of Frutarom and the above-mentioned improper payments. One motion (“Borg”) asserts claims under the U.S. federal securities laws against IFF, its former Chairman and CEO, and its former CFO. On November 8, 2020, IFF and its officers filed their response to the Borg motion. On April 20, 2021, Mr. Borg filed a motion to stay the proceeding pending an appellate decision in the U.S. proceeding. On June 15, 2021, August 11, 2021, November 9, 2021, January 9, 2022, April 7, 2022 and July 10, 2022, the U.S. lead plaintiffs filed update notices with the Israeli court regarding the appeal in the U.S. proceeding. The other motion (“Oman”) (following an initial amendment) asserted claims under the Israeli Securities Act-1968 against IFF, its former Chairman and CEO, and its former CFO, and against Frutarom and certain former Frutarom officers and directors, as well as claims under the Israeli Companies Act-1999 against certain former Frutarom officers and directors. On February 17, 2021, the court granted a motion by the Oman plaintiff to remove IFF and its officers from the motion and to add factual allegations from the US amended complaint. The amended Oman motion was filed on July 4, 2021. On August 29, 2021, the former Frutarom officers and certain former Frutarom directors filed a motion to dismiss the case. On September 30, 2021, Frutarom notified the court that it joins the legal arguments made in the motion to dismiss. On February 22, 2022, the court denied the motion to dismiss. On July 14, 2022, the court approved the parties’ motion to mediate the dispute, which postpones all case deadlines until after the mediation. Also stayed is a request to appeal the court’s denial of the motion to dismiss filed by the former Frutarom officers and certain former Frutarom directors. The parties held the first of multiple mediation meetings on September 13, 2022.

On October 29, 2019, IFF and Frutarom filed a claim in the Tel Aviv District Court, Israel, against Ori Yehudai, the former President and CEO of Frutarom, and against certain former directors of Frutarom, challenging the bonus of US $20 million granted to Yehudai in 2018. IFF and Frutarom allege, among other things, that Yehudai was not entitled to receive the bonus because he breached his fiduciary duty by, among other things, knowing of the above-mentioned improper payments and failing to prevent them from being made. The parties agreed, pursuant to the court’s recommendation, to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation, and a court decision is pending with regard to the order in which this claim and the class action described below will be heard.

Table of Contents

On March 11, 2020, an IFF shareholder filed a motion to approve a class action in Israel against, among others, Frutarom, Yehudai, and Frutarom’s former board of directors, alleging that former minority shareholders of Frutarom were harmed as a result of the US $20 million bonus paid to Yehudai. The parties to this motion agreed to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation to take place regarding the aforesaid claim against Yehudai. On July 27, 2021, counsel to the movant in the class action filed a notice with the court that the mediation process ended without an agreement. On August 26, 2021, a motion to dismiss the class action application was filed by Yehudai and certain former directors of Frutarom. On September 9, 2021, an additional motion to dismiss was filed by other former directors of Frutarom together with ICC Industries, Inc. and its affiliates. On December 9, 2021, the court denied the motions to dismiss. Responses to the class action motion were filed in May 2022.

Investigation

On June 3, 2020, the Israel Police’s National Fraud Investigation Unit and the Israeli Securities Authority commenced an investigation into Frutarom and certain of its former executives, based on suspected bribery of foreign officials, money laundering, and violations of the Israeli Securities Act-1968. As part of the investigation, the National Fraud Investigation Unit and the Israeli Securities Authority have provided IFF and Frutarom with various orders, mainly requesting that IFF and Frutarom provide certain documents and materials. In addition, a seizure of assets was imposed on Frutarom and certain of its affiliates. IFF has been working to ensure compliance with such orders, all in accordance with, and subject to, Israeli law. On August 25, 2021, the Israeli Police informed Frutarom that they have decided to remove the temporary criminal seizure of assets order from the real estate assets of Frutarom and its related companies, which was done in parallel with the transfer of the case to the District Attorney’s Office in Israel.

China Facilities

Guangzhou Taste Plant

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company was notified that certain governmental authorities have begun to evaluate a change in the zoning of the Guangzhou Taste plant. The zoning, if changed, would prevent the Company from continuing to manufacture product at the existing plant. The ultimate outcome of any change that the governmental authorities may propose, the timing of such a change, and the nature of any compensation arrangements that might be provided to the Company are uncertain. To address the governmental authorities’ requirements, the Company has been transferring certain production capabilities from the Guangzhou Taste plant to a newly built facility in Zhangjiagang.

The net book value of the Guangzhou Taste plant was approximately $50 million as of September 30, 2022.

Guangzhou Scent Plant

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company was notified that certain governmental authorities had changed the zoning where the Guangzhou Scent plant is located. The zoning change did not affect the current operations but prevents expansions or other increases in the operating capacity of the plant. The Company believes that it is possible that the zoning may be enforced in the future such that it would not be able to continue manufacturing at the existing site. The ultimate outcome of any change that the governmental authorities may propose, the timing of such a change, and the nature of any compensation arrangements that might be provided to the Company are uncertain.

The net book value of the Guangzhou Scent plant was approximately $7 million as of September 30, 2022.

Zhejiang Ingredients Plant

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company concluded discussions with the government regarding the relocation of its Fragrance Ingredients plant in Zhejiang and, based on the agreements reached, expects to receive total compensation payments up to approximately $50 million. The relocation compensation will be paid to the Company over the period of the relocation which is expected to be through the end of 2022. The Company received payments totaling $30 million through the end of 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company received a payment of approximately $13 million. A final payment is expected to be received upon completion of the final environmental inspection.

Production at the facility ceased during 2019. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company transferred ownership of the site to the government. The land remediation activities are in progress and are expected to be completed in the second half of 2022. During the second quarter of 2020, the remaining net book value of the plant was written off.

Total China Operations

The total net book value of all plants in China was approximately $235 million as of September 30, 2022.

If the Company is required to close a plant, or operate one at significantly reduced production levels on a permanent basis, the Company may be required to record charges that could have a material impact on its consolidated financial results of operations, financial position and cash flows in future periods.

Environmental Proceedings

The Company is reporting the following environmental matter in compliance with SEC requirements to disclose environmental proceedings where a governmental authority is a party and that involve potential monetary sanctions of $300,000 or greater. On May 27, 2022, the Solae, LLC Memphis site (“Solae”) was served an Administrative Order and Assessment (the “Order”) by the City of Memphis related to alleged wastewater discharge violations. Solae submitted an appeal of the Order on June 24, 2022. Discussions with the City regarding potential resolution of the violations and penalties related to said violations are ongoing. While these discussions are progressing, Solae is preparing to present its appeal at a hearing before a review board that may take place in early December 2022. Additionally, the Solae facility has undertaken capital project efforts, some of which began prior to the issuance of the Order, that are anticipated to address, on a schedule consistent with the Order, deadlines for attaining compliance with current wastewater permit requirements. This matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Other Contingencies

The Company has contingencies involving third parties (such as labor, contract, technology or product-related claims or litigation) as well as government-related items in various jurisdictions in which it operates pertaining to such items as value-added taxes, other indirect taxes, customs and duties and sales and use taxes. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations, in any period, could be materially affected by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

The most significant government-related contingencies exist in Brazil. With regard to the Brazilian matters, the Company believes it has valid defenses for the underlying positions under dispute; however, in order to pursue these defenses, the Company is required to, and has provided, bank guarantees and pledged assets in the aggregate amount of $17 million. The Brazilian matters take an extended period of time to proceed through the judicial process and there are a limited number of rulings to date.

Brazil Tax Credits

In January 2020, the Company was informed of a favorable ruling from the Brazilian tax authorities confirming that the Company was entitled to recover the overpayments of certain indirect taxes (known as PIS/COFINS) for the period from November 2011 to December 2018, plus interest on the amount of the overpayments. The overpayments arose from the inclusion of a value added tax known as ICMS in the calculation of the PIS/COFINS tax. The ruling did not, however, settle the question of whether the Company is eligible to recover overpayments based on the gross or the net amount of ICMS amounts paid on PIS/COFINS. The Company calculated the amount of overpayments using the gross method which yields a higher amount than the application of the net method. A final ruling on the gross versus net amount issue was made by the Brazilian Supreme Court who affirmed the use of the gross calculation with respect to claims submitted prior to March 2017. Although the Company had not submitted a claim until after March 2017, the Company believes that the Supreme Court, whilst confirming the use of the gross method of calculation, does not override the January 2020 ruling by the Brazilian tax authorities with respect to the timeframe for the calculation.

Avicel® PH NF (Pharma Solutions)

The Company has determined that certain grades of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel® PH 101, 102, and 200 NF and Avicel® RC-591 NF) were found to be out-of-specification (collectively, “OOS Avicel® NF”). The Company does not expect this issue to affect the functionality of Avicel® NF grades or to pose a human health hazard. Corrective actions have been implemented to improve operational and laboratory conditions. Based on the information available, as of September 30, 2022, payments associated with the issue were approximately $34 million, and the Company has a current accrual of approximately $19 million. The total amount of exposure may increase if additional customers present claims or other exposures are identified.

Other

The Company determines estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of reasonably possible losses in excess of related accrued liabilities, if any, when it has determined that either a loss is reasonably possible or a loss in excess of accrued amounts is reasonably possible and the amount of losses or range of losses is determinable. For all third party contingencies (including labor, contract, technology, tax, product-related claims and business litigation), the Company currently estimates that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of any accrued liabilities is $0 to approximately $35 million. The estimates included in this amount are based on the Company’s analysis of currently available information and, as new information is obtained, these estimates may change. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and the unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued or included in this aggregate amount may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the matters in question. Thus, the Company’s exposure and ultimate losses may be higher or lower, and possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued or the range disclosed above.

NOTE 17. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Through certain subsidiaries of the Company’s Frutarom acquisition, there are certain noncontrolling interests that carry redemption features. The noncontrolling interest holders have the right, over a stipulated period of time, to sell their respective interests to Frutarom, and Frutarom has the option to purchase these interests (subject to the same timing). These options carry, in most cases, similar price and conditions of exercise, and will be settled on a pre-agreed formula based on a multiple of the average EBITDA of consecutive quarters to be achieved during the period ending prior to the exercise date.

The following table sets forth the details of the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests:

NOTE 18. BUSINESS DIVESTITURE

Divestiture of Microbial Control

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to sell its Microbial Control business unit, which was a part of the Health & Biosciences segment. The Company acquired the Microbial Control business unit as part of the Merger with N&B.

The Company completed the divestiture of the Microbial Control business unit on July 1, 2022 and received cash proceeds of approximately $1.254 billion, of which approximately $36 million was attributable to future services to be provided under certain transition service agreements as described below. Certain transaction costs related to the divestiture of approximately $11 million, which was contingent upon the consummation of the divestiture, were determined to be direct costs to sell and, as such, were adjusted against the fair value of sales consideration. In addition, approximately $15 million of cash proceeds were held in escrow and will be released to the Company upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The sale consideration is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which primarily relate to cash, indebtedness and working capital balances.

The Company entered into transition services agreements with the buyer for providing certain general accounting, information technology and other services up to 19 months following the date of the sale for minimal consideration. The fair value of these transition service agreements was determined to be approximately $36 million, which was adjusted against the sale consideration and recognized as deferred transition services income.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the transition services income under the transition services agreements was approximately $6 million and was recognized as a reduction to the costs incurred to provide services under the transition service agreements, which was included in Selling and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the sale consideration received in connection with the divestiture:


(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
Cash proceeds from the buyer	$	1,254
Amount held in escrow	15
Proceeds attributable to transition service agreements	(36)
Direct costs to sell	(11)
Fair Value of sale consideration	$	1,222

Table of Contents

The net proceeds received from business divestiture presented under Cash flows from investing activities represent the cash portion of the sale consideration, which was determined as the fair value of sale consideration reduced by the amount held in escrow and the Cash transferred to the buyer on the closing balance sheet as part of the transaction. The following table summarizes the different components of net proceeds received from business divestiture presented under Cash flows from investing activities:


(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
Fair value of sale consideration	$	1,222
Amount held in escrow	(15)
Cash transferred to the buyer on the closing balance sheet	(49)
Net proceeds received from business divestiture	$	1,158

The carrying amount of net assets associated with the Microbial Control business unit was approximately $1.208 billion. The major classes of assets and liabilities sold consisted of the following:


(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)	June 30, 2022
Assets
Current assets	$	263
Goodwill and other intangible assets, net	867
Equity method investment	74
Other assets	80
Total assets	$	1,284
Liabilities
Accounts payable	$	41
Other liabilities	35
Total liabilities	$	76

As a result of the divestiture, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $14 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, presented in other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company also recognized the income tax effects associated with the divestiture of approximately $110 million based on preliminary estimates as of September 30, 2022.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

(UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE, DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, liquidity and capital resources included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2021 Form 10-K”).

OVERVIEW

Company Background

On February 1, 2021, the Company completed its Merger with Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc. (“N&B”), a subsidiary of DuPont formed to hold the Nutrition and Biosciences business (the “N&B Business”, and such transaction, the “N&B Transaction”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with DuPont de Nemours, Inc. (“DuPont”). The shares issued in the Merger represented approximately 55.4% of the common stock of IFF on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the Merger, as of February 1, 2021.

As a result of the N&B Transaction, and following our 2018 acquisition of Frutarom Industries Ltd., we have expanded our global leadership positions, which now include high-value ingredients and solutions in the Food & Beverage, Home & Personal Care and Health & Wellness markets, and across key Taste, Texture, Scent, Nutrition, Enzymes, Cultures, Soy Proteins, Pharmaceutical Excipients, Biocides and Probiotics categories.

We are organized into four reportable operating segments: Nourish, Health & Biosciences, Scent, and Pharma Solutions. The Company’s consolidated financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflect the results of N&B for the full three and nine months in the period ended September 30, 2022, respectively, whereas the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflect three and eight months of results of N&B in the period ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Our Nourish segment consists of an innovative and broad portfolio of natural-based ingredients to enhance nutritional value, texture and functionality in a wide range of beverage, dairy, bakery, confectionery and culinary applications.

Our Health & Biosciences segment consists of a biotechnology-driven portfolio where enzymes, food cultures, probiotics and specialty ingredients for food and non-food applications are developed and produced. The biotechnology-driven portfolio of this segment produces cultures for use in fermented foods such as yogurt, cheese and fermented beverages. It also uses industrial fermentation to produce enzymes and microorganisms that provide product and process performance benefits to household detergents, animal feed, ethanol production and brewing. Health & Biosciences is comprised of five business units: Health, Cultures & Food Enzymes, Home & Personal Care, Animal Nutrition and Grain Processing.

Our Scent segment creates fragrance compounds, fragrance ingredients and cosmetic ingredients that are integral elements in the world’s finest perfumes and best-known household and personal care products. The Scent segment is comprised of three business units: Fragrance Compounds, Fragrance Ingredients and Cosmetic Actives.

Our Pharma Solutions segment produces a vast portfolio of cellulosics and seaweed-based pharmaceutical excipients, used to improve the functionality and delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including controlled or modified drug release formulations, and enabling the development of more effective pharmaceutical formulations.

Financial Measures — Currency Neutral

Changes in our financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We provide currency neutral calculations in this report to remove the impact of these items. Our method in calculating currency neutral numbers is conducted 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 and/or segment performance. We also use currency neutral numbers when analyzing our performance against our competitors.

We are presenting currency neutral numbers for all operating segments for the three months ended September 30, 2022, but will not be presenting currency neutral numbers for the Nourish, Health & Biosciences and Pharma Solutions operating segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as these operating segments include the effects of the Merger with N&B, which closed on February 1, 2021. As a result, the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflect the results of N&B for the full nine months in the third quarter of 2022, whereas the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflect eight months of results of N&B in the third quarter of 2021, which do not present equally comparable periods.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Goodwill

For the third quarter of 2022, we determined that goodwill impairment triggering events occurred for our Nourish, Health & Biosciences and Pharma Solutions reporting units, which required us to complete an interim impairment assessment. The primary indicators that were deemed to be triggering events in the quarter for the reporting units were declines in projections across various reporting units and ongoing adverse macroeconomic impacts such as inflation, increases in interest rates and unfavorable effects from exchange rates.

As a result of the triggering events, we assessed the fair value of the reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, we determine the fair value by using a discounted cash flow method at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the projected future cash flows of each reporting unit, as well as a terminal value. We use the most current actual and forecasted operating data available. Key estimates and assumptions used in these valuations include revenue growth rates, gross margins, EBITDA margins, terminal growth rates and discount rates.

In performing the quantitative impairment test, we determined that the fair value of the Nourish and Pharma Solutions reporting units exceeded its carrying value, and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill relating to these reporting units. The Pharma Solutions reporting unit had excess fair value over carrying value of less than 10% and goodwill of approximately $1.188 billion. We determined that the carrying value of the Health & Biosciences reporting unit exceeded its fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $2.250 billion in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 6 for additional information).

While we believe that the assumptions used in the impairment test were reasonable, changes in key assumptions, including, lower revenue growth, lower gross margin, lower EBITDA margin, lower terminal growth rates or increasing discount rates could result in a future impairment and we may be required to write-off the remainder of, or a portion of, the remaining goodwill. Such charge could have a material effect on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets. These estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

Impact of the Events in Russia and Ukraine

We maintain operations in both Russia and Ukraine and, additionally, export products to customers in Russia and Ukraine from operations outside the region. In response to the events in Ukraine, we have limited the production and supply of ingredients in and to Russia to only those that meet the essential needs of people, including food, hygiene and medicine.

In 2021, total sales to Russian customers were approximately 2% of total sales. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 sales to Russian customers were approximately also 2% of total sales.

In 2021, total sales to Ukrainian customers were less than 1% of total sales. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 sales to Ukrainian customers were also less than 1% of total sales.

During the second quarter of 2022, we recorded a charge of approximately $120 million related to the impairment of certain long-lived assets in Russia. In addition, we recorded a charge of approximately $11 million related to expected credit losses on receivables from customers located in Russia and Ukraine (for export and domestic sales). For additional information, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2021 Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2022 with the SEC.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Various policies and initiatives have been implemented around the world to reduce the global transmission of COVID-19. Although there continue to be minor disruptions, all of IFF’s manufacturing facilities remain open and continue to manufacture products.

The COVID-19 pandemic remains a serious threat to the health of the world’s population and certain countries and regions continue to suffer from outbreaks or have seen a recurrence of infections, especially with the emergence of new variants of the virus. Accordingly, the Company continues to take the threat from COVID-19 seriously. The impact that COVID-19 will have on our consolidated results of operations for the remainder of 2022 remains uncertain. Due to the length and severity of COVID-19, there is continued volatility as a result of retail and travel, consumer shopping and consumption behavior. Moreover, as a result of disruptions or uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are experiencing, and may continue to experience, increased costs, delays or limited availability related to raw materials, strain on shipping and transportation resources, and higher energy prices, which have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our margins and operating results. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of these potential impacts to our business, consolidated results of operations, segment results, liquidity and capital resources.

Although IFF has not experienced and does not currently anticipate any impairment charges related to COVID-19, the continuing effects of a prolonged pandemic could result in increased risk of asset write-downs and impairments. Any of these events could potentially result in a material adverse impact on IFF’s business and results of operations.

Financial Performance Overview

Sales

Sales in the third quarter of 2022 decreased $8 million, or 0.3% on a reported basis, to $3.063 billion compared to $3.071 billion in the 2021 period. On a currency neutral basis, sales in the third quarter of 2022 increased 6% compared to the 2021 period. Exchange rate variations had an unfavorable impact on net sales for the third quarter of 2022 of 6%. The effect of exchange rates can vary by business and region, depending upon the mix of sales priced in U.S. dollars as compared to other currencies. In addition, the decrease in sales was primarily driven by the net impact of the divestiture of the Microbial Control business unit and acquisition of Health Wright Products, Inc. (“change in business portfolio mix”), which was approximately $89 million, and volume decreases, offset in part by price increases across all businesses.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2022 decreased $89 million, or 8% on a reported basis, to $1.001 billion (32.7% of sales) compared to $1.090 billion (35.5% of sales) in the 2021 period. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by higher costs of goods sold as a result of higher commodity prices and manufacturing costs, change in business portfolio mix and volume decreases, offset in part by favorable net pricing across various businesses.

Adjusted Operating EBITDA

Adjusted operating EBITDA in the third quarter of 2022 decreased $36 million, or 6% on a reported basis, to $612 million (20.0% of sales) compared to $648 million (21.1% of sales) in the comparable 2021 period. On a currency neutral basis, adjusted operating EBITDA in the third quarter of 2022 increased 2% compared to the 2021 period. Exchange rate variations had an unfavorable impact on adjusted operating EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 of 8%. In addition, the decrease in adjusted operating EBITDA was driven by volume decreases and the change in business portfolio mix, offset in part by favorable net pricing across various businesses.

The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by higher material costs, due to higher commodity prices, and higher manufacturing expenses, offset in part by the change in business portfolio mix, with a net impact of approximately $75 million, and volume decreases in sales.

Table of Contents

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses

R&D expenses decreased $11 million to $145 million (4.7% of sales) in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $156 million (5.1% of sales) in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily driven by lower employee related expenses, including salaries, wages and bonuses, and professional fees, including consulting costs, and the change in business portfolio mix, offset in part by higher operating expenses for R&D related activities.

Selling and Administrative (S&A) Expenses

S&A expenses decreased $23 million to $413 million (13.5% of sales) in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $436 million (14.2% of sales) in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in S&A expenses was primarily driven by lower employee related expenses, including salaries, wages and bonuses, and the change in business portfolio mix, offset in part by higher professional fees, including consulting costs.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and other charges was a credit of $4 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to an expense of $6 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by reversals of prior severance cost accruals and lower severance costs incurred in the third quarter of 2022 (see Note 4 for additional information).

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles

Amortization expenses decreased to $182 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $195 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily driven by the reduction in intangible assets as a result of the divestiture of the Microbial Control business unit, offset in part by the impact of acquisitions of intangible assets from Health Wright Products, Inc. (see Note 3, Note 6 and Note 18 for additional information).

Impairment of Goodwill

Impairment of goodwill was $2.250 billion in the third quarter of 2022, which was related to the Health & Biosciences reporting unit. See Note 1 and Note 6 for additional information.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

There was no impairment of long-lived assets in the third quarter of 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $83 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $74 million in the 2021 period. The increase in interest expense was due to higher cost of debt (see Note 8 for additional information). Average cost of debt was 2.9% for the 2022 period compared to 2.5% for the 2021 period.

Other Income, Net

In the third quarter of 2022, we recognized other income, net, of $33 million compared to $26 million in the 2021 period. The change of $7 million was primarily due to foreign exchange gains in the third quarter of 2022 compared to foreign exchange losses in the 2021 period and gain from divestiture of the Microbial Control business unit, offset in part by lower pension income in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the 2021 period due to the adjustment to correct net income amounts related to certain defined benefit plans in prior years (see Note 13 for additional information).

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was (7.9)% compared to 21.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the recording of the tax effects of the divestiture of the Microbial Control business unit and book to tax differences related to the impairment of goodwill in the Health & Biosciences operating segment.

Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA Results by Business Unit

The Company uses Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA for internal reporting and performance measurement purposes. Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA is defined as Income Before Taxes before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, restructuring and other charges and certain non-recurring items. 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.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $538 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $711 million at December 31, 2021 and of this balance, a portion was held outside the United States. Cash balances held in foreign jurisdictions are, in most circumstances, available to be repatriated to the United States.

Effective utilization of the cash generated by our international operations is a critical component of our strategy. We regularly repatriate cash from our non-U.S. subsidiaries to fund financial obligations in the U.S. As we repatriate these funds to the U.S. we will be required to pay income taxes in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes during the period when such repatriation occurs. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, we had a deferred tax liability of approximately $93 million for the effect of repatriating the funds to the U.S., attributable to various non-U.S. subsidiaries. There is no deferred tax liability associated with non-U.S. subsidiaries where we intend to indefinitely reinvest the earnings to fund local operations and/or capital projects.

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $189 million, or 2.0% of sales, compared to $1.126 billion, or 13.1% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities during 2022 was primarily driven by the increase in working capital, largely related to inventories and accounts payable.

We have various factoring agreements in the U.S. and The Netherlands under which we can factor up to approximately $250 million in receivables. In addition, we have factoring agreements sponsored by certain customers. Under all of the arrangements, we sell the receivables on a non-recourse basis to unrelated financial institutions and account for the transactions as a sale of receivables. The applicable receivables are removed from our Consolidated Balance Sheets when the cash proceeds are received.

The impact on cash flows from operating activities from participating in these programs decreased approximately $24 million and increased approximately $40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cost of participating in these programs was approximately $3 million and $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was approximately $6 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Cash Flows Provided By Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $887 million compared to $75 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash flows from investing activities was primarily driven by the change in proceeds received from business divestiture and unwinding of derivative instruments, offset in part by the change in cash provided by the Merger with N&B, higher spending on property, plant and equipment and cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash received in the current year period.

We have evaluated and re-prioritized our capital projects and expect that capital spending in 2022 will be approximately 5.0% of sales (net of potential grants and other reimbursements from government authorities), up from 3.4% in 2021.

Cash Flows Used In Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.087 billion compared to $1.022 billion in the prior year period. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by higher repayments of commercial paper, net of borrowings, and higher cash dividend payments, offset in part by less repayments of long-term debt and revolving credit facility and short term borrowings.

We paid dividends totaling $604 million in the 2022 period. We declared a cash dividend per share of $0.81 in the third quarter of 2022 that was paid on October 5, 2022 to all shareholders of record as of September 23, 2022.

Our capital allocation strategy seeks to maintain our investment grade rating while investing in the business and continuing to pay dividends and repaying debt. The Company does not have any rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of its senior unsecured debt. However, any downgrade in our credit rating may, depending on the extent of such downgrade, negatively impact our ability to raise additional debt capital, our liquidity and capital position, and may increase our cost of borrowing for new capital raises. In addition, our existing Amended Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans have pricing grids that are based on credit rating, such that our cost of borrowing may increase as our credit rating decreases. We make capital investments in our businesses to support our operational needs and strategic long-term plans. We are committed to maintaining our history of paying a dividend to investors which is determined by our Board of Directors at its discretion based on various factors.

We had a board approved stock repurchase program and as of May 7, 2018, we suspended our share repurchases. As of November 1, 2022, the program has expired.

Capital Resources

Operating cash flow provides the primary source of funds for capital investment needs, dividends paid to shareholders and debt service repayments. We anticipate that cash flows from operations and availability under our existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our investing and financing needs. We regularly assess our capital structure, including both current and long-term debt instruments, as compared to our cash generation and investment needs in order to provide ample flexibility and to optimize our leverage ratios. We believe our existing cash balances are sufficient to meet our debt service requirements.

Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

Amended Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

As of September 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our $2.000 billion Amended Revolving Credit Facility.

The amount that we are able to draw down under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is limited by financial covenants as described in more detail below. As of September 30, 2022, our draw down capacity was $1.489 billion under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.

Refer to Note 8 of this Form 10-Q and Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” Note 9 of our 2021 Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2022, for additional information.

Debt Covenants

At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants, including the net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA ratio. At September 30, 2022, our net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA(1) ratio was 3.93 to 1.0 as defined by the credit facility agreements, which is below the relevant level provided by our financial covenants of existing outstanding debt.

_______________________

(1)Credit adjusted EBITDA and net debt, which are non-GAAP measures used for these covenants, are calculated in accordance with the definition in the debt agreements. In this context, these measures are used solely to provide information on the extent to which we are in compliance with debt covenants and may not be comparable to credit adjusted EBITDA and net debt used by other companies. Reconciliations of credit adjusted EBITDA to net income and net debt to total debt are as follows:

Senior Notes

As of September 30, 2022, we had $9.216 billion aggregate principal amount outstanding in senior unsecured notes, with $1.266 billion principal amount denominated in EUR and $7.950 billion principal amount denominated in USD, which includes the N&B Senior Notes assumed as a result of the Merger. The notes bear interest ranging from 1.22% per year to 5.12% per year, with maturities from May 1, 2023 to December 1, 2050. See Note 8 for additional information.

Contractual Obligations

We expect to contribute a total of $5 million to our U.S. pension plans and a total of $33 million to our non-U.S. pension plans during 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no contributions made to the qualified U.S. pension plans, $22 million of contributions were made to the non-U.S. pension plans, and $3 million of benefit payments were made with respect to our non-qualified U.S. pension plan. We also expect to contribute $4 million to our postretirement benefits other than pension plans during 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $2 million of contributions were made to postretirement benefits other than pension plans.

As discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, at September 30, 2022, we had entered into various guarantees and had undrawn outstanding letters of credit from financial institutions. These arrangements reflect ongoing business operations, including commercial commitments, and governmental requirements associated with audits or litigation that are in process with various jurisdictions. Based on the current facts and circumstances, these arrangements are not reasonably likely to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q, including: (i) currency neutral metrics and (ii) adjusted operating EBITDA and adjusted operating EBITDA margin. We also provide the non-GAAP measure net debt solely for the purpose of providing information on the extent to which the Company is in compliance with debt covenants contained in its debt agreements. Our non-GAAP financial measures are defined below.

Table of Contents

These non-GAAP financial 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.

Adjusted operating EBITDA and adjusted operating EBITDA margin exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, other (expense) income, net, restructuring and other charges and certain non-recurring items such as acquisition related costs, gains on sale of assets, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, shareholder activism related costs, business divestiture costs, employee separation costs, Global Shared Services implementation costs, Frutarom acquisition related costs, N&B inventory step-up costs, N&B transaction related costs and integration related costs.

Net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA is the leverage ratio used in our credit agreement and defined as net debt divided by credit adjusted EBITDA. However, as credit adjusted EBITDA for these purposes was calculated in accordance with the provisions of the credit agreement, it may differ from the calculation used for adjusted operating EBITDA.

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 report or included in our other periodic reports filed with the SEC could materially and adversely impact our operations and our future financial results.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There are no material changes in market risk from the information provided in our 2021 Form 10-K, except for the cross currency swap agreements.

We use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. We have entered into certain cross currency swap agreements in order to mitigate a portion of our net European investments from foreign currency risk. As of September 30, 2022, these swaps were in a net asset position with an aggregate fair value of $10 million. Based on a hypothetical decrease or increase of 10% in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, the estimated fair value of our cross currency swaps would change by approximately $131 million.
