NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.

Accounting Policies

In the opinion of Sensient Technologies Corporation (the Company), the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2026, and the results of operations, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Expenses are charged to operations in the period incurred.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU also requires the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state, and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2025 using a prospective transition method. The Company updated its annual disclosures as a result of adopting this ASU, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require the Company to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and its related disclosures.

Please refer to the notes in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, for additional details of the Company’s financial condition and a description of the Company’s accounting policies, which have been continued without change.

2.     Acquisition

On February 14, 2025, the Company acquired Biolie SAS, a natural color extraction business located in France. The Company paid $4.9 million in cash for this acquisition, which is net of $0.2 million in debt assumed. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired net assets of $0.3 million, with the remaining $4.6 million allocated to goodwill. This business is part of the Color segment.

3.    Portfolio Optimization Plan

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to undertake an effort to optimize certain production facilities and improve efficiencies within the Company (Portfolio Optimization Plan). As part of the Portfolio Optimization Plan, in the Flavors & Extracts segment, the Company evaluated the closure of its manufacturing facility in Felinfach, Wales, United Kingdom, the closure of its sales office in Granada, Spain, and the centralization and elimination of certain selling and administrative positions. In addition, in the Color segment, the Company evaluated the closure of a manufacturing facility in Delta, British Columbia, Canada, the closure of a sales office in Argentina, and centralizing and eliminating certain production positions and selling and administrative positions. The Company reports all costs associated with the Portfolio Optimization Plan in the Corporate & Other segment.

Index

The Company’s Felinfach site was shut down in May 2025, and all production activities have been transferred to other locations. The Company began marketing the Felinfach site for sale in June 2025, at which point the held for sale criteria were met. These are the sole assets recorded in Fixed assets held for sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025. The Company sold the land and building assets in February 2026 for approximately $2.0 million, resulting in a $0.4 million gain recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2026. There were no costs associated with the Portfolio Optimization Plan recognized during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Company has completed all actions contemplated under the Portfolio Optimization Plan.

The total cost of the Portfolio Optimization Plan was approximately $50 million, primarily related to non-cash impairment charges and employee separation costs. We anticipate that the Portfolio Optimization Plan will reduce annual operating costs by approximately $8 million, with the full benefit expected to be achieved beginning in 2026. The Company reduced headcount by approximately 100 positions, primarily in the Flavors & Extracts and Color segments, related to certain production and selling and administrative positions.

The following table summarizes the Portfolio Optimization Plan expenses by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2025:

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivables are recorded at their face amount, less an allowance for expected losses on doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on customer-specific analysis and an aging methodology using historical loss information. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable basis for expected credit losses as the Company’s historical credit loss experience correlates with its customer delinquency status. This information is also adjusted for any known current economic conditions. Forecasted economic conditions have not had a significant impact on the current credit loss estimate due to the short-term nature of the Company’s customer receivables; however, the Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the rapidly changing economic conditions. Additionally, as the Company only has one portfolio segment, there are not different risks between portfolios. Specific accounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the receivable is deemed no longer collectible.

Debt

On March 27, 2026, the Company issued €65 million of Euro-denominated senior notes under the Amended and Restated Consolidated Note Purchase and Master Note Agreement, maturing in March 2030 and bearing an interest rate of 4.00%. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of the Company’s existing revolving credit facility.

On June 18, 2026, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with CoBank, ACB, and the lenders party thereto from time to time. The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured delayed-draw term loan credit facility (Term Loan) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million, which is to be drawn in up to five advances over fifteen months following the closing date. All amounts owing under the Term Loan will be due five years from the closing date. Proceeds from the Credit Agreement will be used to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. There was $100 million outstanding on the Term Loan as of September 30, 2026.

On August 31, 2026, the Company entered into Omnibus Amendment No. 1 (Receivables Amendment) to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated October 3, 2016. The Receivables Amendment amends the Receivables Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (i) add PNC Bank, National Association as a purchaser and the administrative agent under the Receivables Securitization Program, (ii) increase the facility limit from $105 million to $115 million, and (iii) extend the termination date of the Receivables Securitization Program from August 31, 2026 to August 30, 2027. The amount was fully drawn as of September 30, 2026.

Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value for financial assets and liabilities, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings were approximately the same as the fair values as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The net fair value of the forward exchange contracts based on current pricing obtained for comparable derivative products (Level 2 inputs) was an asset of $0.4 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the portions of long-term debt classified as Short-term borrowings on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2 inputs). The carrying value of the long-term debt at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $790.3 million and $709.5 million, respectively. The fair value of the long-term debt at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $791.4 million and $720.9 million, respectively.

Segment Information

The Company evaluates performance based on operating income before share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders); restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs; interest expense; and income taxes (segment operating income). Total revenue and segment operating income by business segment and geographic region include both sales to customers, as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings, and intersegment sales, which are accounted for at prices that approximate market prices and are eliminated in consolidation.

Assets by business segment and geographic region are those assets used in the Company’s operations in each segment and geographic region. Segment assets reflect the allocation of goodwill to each segment. Corporate & Other assets consist primarily of accounts receivables from the securitization program, investments, deferred tax assets, and fixed assets.

The Company determines its operating segments based on information utilized by its chief operating decision maker (CODM) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment operating income or loss to allocate resources, which includes employee, financial, or capital resources, predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and year-over-year variances on a monthly basis for segment operating income or loss when allocating capital and personnel resources to the segments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating income of the respective business units before share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders), restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, and other costs (which are reported in Corporate & Other), interest expense, and income taxes.

The Company’s three reportable segments are the Flavors & Extracts and Color segments, which are both managed on a product line basis, and the Asia Pacific segment, which is managed on a geographic basis. The Company’s Flavors & Extracts segment produces flavor, extracts, and essential oils products that impart a desired taste, texture, aroma, or other characteristics to a broad range of consumer and other products. The Color segment produces natural and synthetic color systems for foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals; colors, ingredients, and systems for personal care; and technical colors for industrial applications. The Asia Pacific segment is managed on a geographic basis and produces and distributes color, flavor, and essential oils products for the Asia Pacific countries. The Company’s corporate expenses, share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders), restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs as further described in Note 3, Portfolio Optimization Plan, and certain other costs are included in the “Corporate & Other” category.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

The Company may use forward exchange contracts and foreign currency denominated debt to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk in order to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, non-functional currency raw material purchases, non-functional currency sales, and other known foreign currency exposures. These forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 18 months. The Company’s primary hedging activities and their accounting treatment are summarized below.

OVERVIEW

Revenue

Revenue was $455.8 million and $412.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue was $1.35 billion and $1.22 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to higher volumes and selling prices. Foreign exchange rates had an immaterial impact on consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the impact of foreign exchange rates increased consolidated revenue by approximately 2%.

Gross Margin

The Company’s gross margin was 36.2% and 34.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s gross margin was 36.2% and 34.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $0.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, decreased gross margin by 20 and 40 basis points, respectively. See Portfolio Optimization Plan below for further information. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company received $4.8 million of tariff refunds that improved gross margin by 40 basis points. The Company’s gross margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were further impacted by the higher volumes and selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.3% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, selling and administrative expenses were increased by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $2.7 and $5.3 million, respectively, which increased selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue by approximately 70 and 50 basis points, respectively. See Portfolio Optimization Plan below for further information. After the effects of the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs in 2025, the increase in selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2026.

Index

Operating Income

Operating income was $72.4 million and $57.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Operating income was $215.9 million and $168.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating margins were 15.9% and 13.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The tariff refunds increased operating margins by approximately 40 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Portfolio Optimization Plan costs decreased operating margins by approximately 80 and 70 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company’s operating margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 were further increased by the higher volumes and selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2026.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $8.3 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $24.4 million and $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in expense for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in the average outstanding debt balance.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were 24.6% and 26.6%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the effective income tax rates were 24.9% and 25.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were impacted by the mix of foreign earnings and changes in estimates associated with the finalization of prior year foreign tax items. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were further impacted by the limited tax deductibility of costs related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan.

Acquisition

On February 14, 2025, the Company acquired Biolie SAS, a natural color extraction business located in France. The Company paid $4.9 million in cash for this acquisition, which is net of $0.2 million in debt assumed. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired net assets of $0.3 million, with the remaining $4.6 million allocated to goodwill. This business is part of the Color segment.

Portfolio Optimization Plan

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to undertake an effort to optimize certain production facilities and improve efficiencies within the Company (Portfolio Optimization Plan). As part of the Portfolio Optimization Plan, in the Flavors & Extracts segment, the Company evaluated the closure of its manufacturing facility in Felinfach, Wales, United Kingdom, the closure of its sales office in Granada, Spain, and the centralization and elimination of certain selling and administrative positions. In addition, in the Color segment, the Company evaluated the closure of a manufacturing facility in Delta, British Columbia, Canada, the closure of a sales office in Argentina, and centralizing and eliminating certain production positions and selling and administrative positions. The Company reports all costs associated with the Portfolio Optimization Plan in the Corporate & Other segment.

The Company’s Felinfach site was shut down in May 2025, and all production activities have been transferred to other locations. The Company began marketing the Felinfach site for sale in June 2025, at which point the held for sale criteria were met. These are the sole assets recorded in Fixed assets held for sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025. The Company sold the land and building assets in February 2026 for approximately $2.0 million, resulting in a $0.4 million gain recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company has completed all actions contemplated under the Portfolio Optimization Plan.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred costs of $3.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively, related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan recorded in Corporate & Other, primarily for dual plant operating costs, professional services, non-cash inventory charges, decommissioning costs, and employee separation costs. The Company did not incur any costs related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Segment operating income as a percent of revenue was 22.8% in the current nine month period and 21.2% in the prior year’s comparable period.

Corporate & Other

The Corporate & Other operating expense was $16.5 million and $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The lower operating expense was primarily due to Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $3.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2026. See the Portfolio Optimization Plan section above for further information.

The Corporate & Other operating expense was $49.0 million and $52.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

See the Portfolio Optimization Plan section above for further information.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Financial Condition

The Company’s financial position remains strong. The Company is in compliance with its loan covenants calculated in accordance with applicable agreements as of September 30, 2026. The Company expects to increase its existing indebtedness in the short-term to further support the increased cash requirements for operations and capital expenditures associated with the natural colors conversion activity. In the long-term, the Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations and debt capacity can be used to meet anticipated future cash requirements for operations, capital expenditures, and dividend payments, as well as potential acquisitions and stock repurchases. The Company’s contractual obligations consist primarily of operational commitments, which we expect to continue to be able to satisfy through cash generated from operations, and debt. The Company has various series of notes outstanding that mature from 2026 through 2030. The Company believes that it has the ability to refinance or repay these obligations through a combination of cash flow from operations, issuance of additional notes, and sufficient borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which matures in 2030.

As a result of our ability to manage the impact of inflation through pricing and other actions, the impact of inflation was not material to the Company’s financial position and its results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The Company has experienced increased costs for certain inputs, such as raw materials, energy, shipping and logistics, packaging, and labor-related costs. We continue to expect to manage these impacts in the near term, but persistent, accelerated, or expanded inflationary conditions, including any heightened inflationary pressures resulting from the conflict between the United States and Iran and its aftermath, could exacerbate these challenges and impact our profitability.

The Company continues to monitor developments with respect to tariffs and other trade policy matters closely, including impacts from the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and other litigation, as well as the implementation of additional tariffs. As of September 30, 2026, we have received approximately $5 million of IEEPA tariff refunds from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which included applicable interest. We do not anticipate receiving any material amounts of tariff refunds in the future. The tariffs imposed by the United States, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on United States exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. As a result of these ongoing tariff-related actions, the Company anticipates incurring incremental tariff costs on certain raw materials to produce our products and certain finished goods shipped to customers. However, the Company expects to manage the impact of the increased tariff costs through pricing actions. To the extent the Company is unable to offset the increased tariff costs, or the tariffs negatively impact demand, or other trade barriers are implemented, the Company’s revenue and profitability would be adversely impacted. If additional tariffs are adopted, the Company would incur additional tariff costs that could be material.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, such as the extension of certain expiring provisions, modifications to the international tax framework, and the continuation of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions implemented through 2027. These provisions did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2026. We will continue to assess the OBBBA tax provisions and their impacts on our consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $75.3 million and $83.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash used by inventory during 2026 compared to 2025 and a decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in cash provided by accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $35.0 million and net cash used in financing activities was $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net debt increased by $91.8 million and $41.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The cash proceeds from the increase in net debt in the current period were primarily used to support capital expenditure investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. For purposes of the cash flow statement, net changes in debt exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Dividends of $52.3 million and $52.2 million were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total dividends of $1.23 per share were paid for both the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
