Sensient Expects to be at or Above Previously Issued 2021 Guidance

MILWAUKEE— July 23, 2021 — Sensient Technologies Corporation (NYSE: SXT) reported consolidated revenue of $335.8 million in this year’s second quarter compared to $323.1 million in last year’s second quarter. Reported operating income in the second quarter of 2021 was $35.8 million compared to $42.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. Reported diluted earnings per share was 61 cents in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 72 cents in the second quarter of 2020. Foreign currency translation increased revenue and earnings per share by approximately 4% and 6%, respectively, in the quarter.

The 2021 second quarter reported results include divestiture & other related costs and operational improvement plan costs, which in total decreased second quarter net earnings by $7.0 million ($0.16 per diluted share). The 2020 second quarter reported results include divestiture & other related costs which increased net earnings by $1.0 million ($0.02 per diluted share). The 2021 and 2020 second quarter results also include the operations of the divested product lines, which included $2.2 million of revenue and decreased diluted earnings per share by $0.01 in the second quarter of 2021, and included $28.2 million of revenue and were not significant to diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2020. These adjustments are described in more detail under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Amounts” at the end of this release.

The Flavors & Extracts Group reported second quarter revenue of $179.4 million compared to $183.6 million reported in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 2.3%, primarily due to the divestiture of the Fragrances product line in early April 2021. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 9.1% in the quarter. The higher adjusted local currency revenue was the result of strong growth in all product categories.  Segment operating income was $24.5 million in the current quarter compared to $22.8 million reported in the comparable period last year, an increase of 7.8%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 13.2% in the quarter. The Group’s higher profit was primarily a result of favorable volume growth. Foreign currency translation increased segment revenue and operating income by approximately 4% and 3%, respectively, in the quarter.

The Color Group reported revenue of $133.2 million in the quarter compared to $121.3 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 9.8%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 7.1% in the quarter. The Group experienced growth in Food & Pharmaceutical colors and in Personal Care. Segment operating income was $25.6 million in the quarter compared to $22.3 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 15.1%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 5.2% compared to prior year’s second quarter. The higher operating income is primarily a result of the higher volumes. Foreign currency translation increased both segment revenue and operating income by approximately 5% in the quarter.

The Asia Pacific Group reported revenue of $32.3 million in the quarter compared to $27.9 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 15.9%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 11.3% in the quarter. Segment operating income was $5.8 million in the quarter compared to $4.8 million in last year’s comparable quarter, an increase of 19.5%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 21.6% in the quarter. The higher profit was primarily a result of the favorable volume growth. Foreign currency translation increased segment revenue by approximately 6% and decreased segment operating income by approximately 1% in the quarter.

Corporate & Other reported operating costs of $20.2 million in the current quarter compared to $7.7 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 160.9%. The higher costs are primarily due to higher divestiture & other costs reported in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the amount recorded in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted local currency operating expenses for Corporate & Other increased 29.4% in the quarter partly due to higher performance based executive compensation.

2021 OUTLOOK

Sensient is reconfirming its previously issued 2021 guidance for GAAP diluted earnings per share to grow at a mid to high single digit growth rate compared to the Company’s 2020 reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.59. Our full year 2021 guidance includes approximately 25 cents per share of estimated divestiture & other related costs, the results of the divested operations, and the operational improvement plan costs. The Company expects its reported tax rate to be approximately 24% for the last six months of 2021.

The Company now expects its 2021 adjusted local currency revenue(2) to grow at a  mid-single digit rate. The Company’s previous 2021 guidance for adjusted local currency revenue(2)  was a low to mid-single digit growth rate. The Company reconfirms its previously issued 2021 adjusted local currency EBITDA(2) to grow at a mid-single digit rate. The Company also continues to expect, on a local currency basis, 2021 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) to grow at a mid-single digit growth rate compared to the Company’s 2020 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) of $2.79. The Company expects its adjusted tax rate(2)  to be approximately 22% for the last six months of 2021.

 The Company expects earnings per share reported on a U.S. dollar basis to benefit by approximately ten cents based on current exchange rates.

The Company’s guidance is based upon current trends, current tax law, and the effects of COVID-19 to date. The full impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain and management will continue to monitor its impacts on our business.

We have included each of these non-GAAP measures in order to provide additional information regarding our underlying operating results and comparable period-over-period performance. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation. Rather, they should be considered together with GAAP measures and the rest of the information included in this release and our SEC filings. Management internally reviews each of these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance on a comparative period-to-period basis and to gain additional insight into underlying operating and performance trends, and we believe the information can be beneficial to investors for the same purposes. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
