Reports Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

Sensient Reaffirms its 2022 Guidance

MILWAUKEE— October 21, 2022 — Sensient Technologies Corporation (NYSE: SXT) reported consolidated revenue of $361.1 million in this year’s third quarter compared to $344.3 million in last year’s third quarter. Reported operating income in the third quarter of 2022 was $47.5 million compared to $47.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Reported diluted earnings per share was 85 cents in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 80 cents in the third quarter of 2021. Foreign currency translation decreased revenue by approximately 4% and earnings per share by approximately 6% in the present quarter.

The 2021 third quarter reported results included divestiture & other related costs and operational improvement plan costs, which in total decreased 2021 third quarter diluted earnings per share by $0.04. The 2021 third quarter reported results also included the operations of the divested product lines, which were not material to diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2021. We did not make any adjustments to our 2022 third quarter reported results for divestiture & other related costs, operational improvement plan costs, or results of the divested product lines. The adjustments to our reported results are described in more detail under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Amounts” at the end of this release.

(1) Adjusted local currency percentage changes are described in more detail in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Amounts" at the end of this release.

The Flavors & Extracts Group reported third quarter revenue of $187.0 million compared to $181.7 million in last year’s third quarter, an increase of 3.0%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 6.7% in the quarter. The Group benefited from pricing across all of its product lines. Segment operating income was $26.3 million in the current quarter compared to $25.2 million reported in the comparable period last year, an increase of 4.7%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 5.6% in the quarter.

Segment operating income as a percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was 14.1%.

Sensient is reconfirming its expectation for 2022 full year GAAP diluted earnings per share to grow at a high-teen growth rate compared to the Company’s 2021 reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.81. Our full year 2022 guidance does not include any material divestiture & other related costs, operational improvement plan costs, or results of divested businesses.

Earnings Release – Quarter Ended September 30, 2022
October 21, 2022

The Company continues to expect 2022 revenue to grow at a high single-digit rate in local currency compared to the Company’s 2021 adjusted revenue(2). The Company continues to expect its 2022 adjusted EBITDA(2) and diluted earnings per share to grow at a high single- to double-digit rate in local currency compared to the Company’s 2021 adjusted EBITDA(2) and the Company’s 2021 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) of $3.13.

 The Company expects full year 2022 earnings per share reported on a U.S. dollar basis to be impacted by foreign currency headwinds of approximately twenty cents based on current exchange rates.

The Company’s guidance is based on current conditions and trends in the economy and the markets in which the Company operates and is subject to various risks and uncertainties as described below.  The Company will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine 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.
