See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 4 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ These interim statements and management's related discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and their related notes, and management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. These interim statements are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company's management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. STOCK PLANS: The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its stock plans. No compensation expense for stock options is reflected in net earnings, as all options granted under such plans have an exercise price not less than the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 for the period presented:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands except per share amounts) March 31, March 31, 2003 2002 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income, as reported $32,017 $41,947 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all stock option awards, net of related tax effects 3,114 5,229 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro-forma net income $28,903 $36,718 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income per share: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic - as reported $ 0.34 $ 0.44 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic - pro-forma $ 0.31 $ 0.39 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted - as reported $ 0.34 $ 0.44 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted - pro-forma $ 0.30 $ 0.38 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These pro-forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures because the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense over the vesting period, and additional options may be granted in future years. NET INCOME PER SHARE: Options to purchase 4,917,152 shares and 2,721,001 shares were outstanding for the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares in the respective periods. 5 SEGMENT INFORMATION: The Company's reportable segment information, based on geographic region, follows. The Company evaluates the performance of its geographic areas based on operating profit, excluding interest expense, other income and expense, certain unallocated expenses, the effects of nonrecurring items and accounting changes, and income tax expense.

NONRECURRING AND OTHER CHARGES: As described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, in October 2000, the Company announced a significant reorganization, including management changes, consolidation of production facilities and related actions. The Company recorded nonrecurring pre-tax charges of $20.4 million in the first quarter of 2003; essentially all elements of the charges relate to employee terminations. The Company eliminated over 150 positions, principally in its North America, Europe and Asia Pacific operating regions. The pre-tax nonrecurring charges recorded for the first quarter 2003 relate to operations in North America including corporate ($12.8 million), Europe ($4.9 million), Latin America ($0.3 million) and Asia Pacific ($2.4 million). At the time the reorganization was announced, the Company expected to incur approximately $90 million to $100 million in related pre-tax costs; certain actions remain to be taken during the course of 2003, and the Company anticipates that total expected pre-tax costs will now approximate $110 million. The increase in anticipated costs is due to a combination of additional actions now contemplated under the reorganization, and the impact of the weaker US dollar to the extent such actions take place outside the United States. To date, the Company has recorded approximately $94 million of the expected pre-tax charges. 6 Movements in the liabilities related to the nonrecurring charges were as follows (in millions): EMPLOYEE- ASSET-RELATED RELATED AND OTHER TOTAL -------------------------------------------------- Balance December 31, 2002 $ 3.4 $ .4 $ 3.8 Additional charges 19.6 .8 20.4 Cash and other costs (1.8) -- (1.8) ------ ------- ------ Balance March 31, 2003 $ 21.2 $ 1.2 $ 22.4 ====== ======= ====== The balance of the liabilities will be utilized by 2005 in connection with the final decommissioning and disposal of affected equipment and as severance and other benefit obligations to affected employees are satisfied. The Company has established accruals relating primarily to employee separation costs, facility closure costs and other actions relating to the integration of certain BBA operations into IFF. Costs associated with these integration actions were recognized as a component of the purchase accounting which resulted in an adjustment to goodwill; such costs did not directly impact current earnings.

In early April 2003, the Company repurchased an additional $51 million of the Notes; this amount is included in the current portion of long-term debt. All repurchases were funded with commercial paper. At March 31, 2003, the weighted average interest rate on total borrowings was 3.4% compared to 3.7% at December 31, 2002. As a result of premiums paid for the notes repurchased in the first quarter 2003, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss of $2.7 million included in Other (income) expense. The Company will record an additional loss approximating $1.6 million in the second quarter 2003 as a result of the repurchase of notes in April. 8 INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET: The following tables reflect the carrying values for Intangible assets and Accumulated amortization at December 2002 and March 2003.

Amortization expense will be $3.2 million per quarter for 2003 to 2006. Amortization expense will be $3.2 million for the first three quarters and $1.8 million in the fourth quarter in 2007. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial statements to conform to fiscal 2002 classifications. SUBSEQUENT EVENT ---------------- On May 12, 2003, the Company reached agreement to sell its New York headquarters; the transaction is expected to close in June 2003, at which time the Company will enter into a long-term lease with respect to the space it currently occupies (approximately 40% of the buildings). Proceeds from the sale, expected to approximate $90 million, will be used to reduce short-term borrowings. The anticipated gain on sale will be deferred and amortized as appropriate over the initial lease term, as required under applicable accounting standards. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION ------------------- OPERATIONS ---------- First quarter 2003 sales totaled $466.2 million, increasing 5% in comparison to the prior year quarter. Sales for the first quarter 2002 included $5.1 million attributable to non-core businesses that the Company disposed of during 2002; excluding such sales from the 2002 results, first quarter 2003 sales increased 6% in comparison to the prior year. Reported sales for the 2003 quarter benefited from the strengthening of various currencies, most notably the Euro, the Japanese Yen and the Australian dollar, in relation to the U.S. dollar; had exchange rates remained constant, sales for the first quarter 2003 would have declined approximately 2% in comparison to the prior year quarter. Excluding those sales attributable to the non-core businesses from the 2002 results, local currency sales in the first quarter 2003 declined approximately 1% in comparison to the prior year quarter. Excluding, for comparative purposes, the sales attributable to non-core businesses disposed of during 2002; sales for the first quarter 2003 performance reflected the following: o North America flavors and fragrance sales declined by 3% and 7%, respectively; in total the region declined by 5%, reflecting weak economic conditions and customer efforts to reduce inventory levels. o Local currency flavor sales in Europe increased 3%, resulting in a 21% increase in reported dollar sales; fragrance sales declined 2% in local currency, resulting in a 17% increase in reported dollar sales. Overall, the region's sales were flat in local currency and increased 19% in dollars. The local currency flavor performance reflected the benefit of new wins. Local currency fragrance sales were impacted by an 11% decline in aroma chemical sales in comparison to the prior year; in the first quarter 2002, aroma chemical sales had increased 26% in local currency. o Local currency sales in Asia Pacific were flat, resulting in a 4% increase in reported dollar sales. Fragrance sales increased 6% in local currency and 11% in reported dollars. Local currency flavor sales declined 6% resulting in flat sales in reported dollars. The flavor sales performance was impacted by continued economic weakness in Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines. o Latin America sales declined 5%, mainly due to persistent weakness in Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela. Fragrance sales declined 4% while flavor sales declined 9%. o India sales increased 18% in local currency and 22% in dollars. This performance was led by a 20% local currency increase in fragrances; flavor sales increased 16% in local currency. The performance reflected the benefit of many new wins in both flavors and fragrances in the region. The percentage relationship of cost of goods sold and other operating expenses to sales for the first three months 2003 and 2002 are detailed below. FIRST THREE MONTHS ------------------ 2003 2002 ---- ---- Cost of Goods Sold 58.0% 58.3% Research and Development Expenses 8.4% 7.9% Selling and Administrative Expenses 16.3% 16.9% Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from the prior year primarily due to favorable sales mix. Research and development expenses were somewhat higher due to increased activities in this area. Research and Development expenses are expected to approximate 8% of sales on a full year basis. Selling and administrative expenses declined as a percentage of sales as a result of reorganization activities. 10 Other expense in the quarter amounted to $2.5 million primarily due to a $2.7 million loss on the repurchase of $149 million of the 6.45% Notes. Other (income) expense totaled $2.0 million of income in the first quarter of 2002, primarily due to exchange gains in Argentina; in 2003, there were no significant exchange gains or losses in the quarter. Interest expense declined from 2002 due to reduced borrowing levels, the general decline in interest rates and the continuing benefits of the US dollar and Yen interest rate swaps the Company has entered into. The average interest on borrowings during the first quarter 2003 was 3.4% compared to 3.7% in the 2002 first quarter. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2003 was 31.2% compared to 34.3% for the comparable 2002 quarter. The 2003 effective rate reflects the benefit of the nonrecurring charges taken in the quarter; many of these charges were taken in high tax jurisdictions, including the United States. Excluding the tax benefit of the nonrecurring charges, the effective tax rate for the quarter would have been 32%. NONRECURRING AND OTHER CHARGES: ------------------------------- As described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, in October 2000, the Company announced a significant reorganization, including management changes, consolidation of production facilities and related actions. The Company recorded nonrecurring pre-tax charges of $20.4 million in the first quarter of 2003; essentially all elements of the charges relate to employee terminations. The Company eliminated over 150 positions, principally in its North America, Europe and Asia Pacific operating regions. The pretax nonrecurring charges recorded for the first quarter 2003 relate to operations in North America including corporate ($12.8 million), Europe ($4.9 million), Latin America ($0.3 million) and Asia Pacific ($2.4 million). At the time the reorganization was announced, the Company expected to incur approximated $90 million to $100 million in related pre-tax costs; certain actions remain to be taken during the course of 2003, and the Company anticipates that total expected pre-tax costs will now approximate $110 million. The increase in anticipated costs is due to a combination of additional actions now contemplated under the reorganization, and the impact of the weaker US dollar to the extent such actions take place outside the United States. To date, the Company has recorded approximately $94 million of the expected pre-tax charges. Movements in the liabilities related to the nonrecurring charges were as follows (in millions): EMPLOYEE- ASSET-RELATED RELATED AND OTHER TOTAL ---------- ------------- ------- Balance December 31, 2002 $ 3.4 $ .4 $ 3.8 Additional charges 19.6 .8 20.4 Cash and other costs (1.8) -- (1.8) ------- ------ ------- Balance March 31, 2003 $ 21.2 $ 1.2 $ 22.4 ======= ====== ======= The balance of the liabilities will be utilized by 2005 in connection with the final decommissioning and disposal of affected equipment and as severance and other benefit obligations to affected employees are satisfied. The Company has established accruals relating primarily to employee separation costs, facility closure costs and other actions relating to the integration of certain BBA operations into IFF. Costs associated with these integration actions were recognized as a component of the purchase accounting which resulted in an adjustment to goodwill; such costs did not directly impact current earnings. 11 Movements in acquisition accounting accruals were as follows (in millions): EMPLOYEE- ASSET-RELATED RELATED AND OTHER TOTAL ---------- ------------- ------- Balance December 31, 2002 $ 6.0 $ 1.1 $ 7.1 Cash and other costs (1.5) (.7) (2.2) ------ ------ ------ Balance March 31, 2003 $ 4.5 $ .4 $ 4.9 ====== ====== ====== FINANCIAL CONDITION ------------------- Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $16.3 million at March 31, 2003. Working capital, at March 31, 2003 was $330.1 million compared to $507.3 million at December 31, 2002. The change in working capital is a direct result of the repurchase of a portion of the Company's 6.45% five year Notes which was financed with commercial paper. This transaction is discussed in more detail below. Gross additions to property, plant and equipment during the first three months of 2003 were $11.3 million. At March 31, 2003, the Company's outstanding commercial paper had an average interest rate of 1.5%. Commercial paper maturities did not extend beyond May 14, 2003. Bank borrowings were $20.2 million. During the first quarter, the Company repurchased $149 million of its 6.45% Notes that were to mature in 2006. In early April 2003, the Company repurchased an additional $51 million of the Notes; this amount is included in the current portion of long-term debt. All repurchases were funded with commercial paper. At March 31, 2003, the weighted average interest rate on total borrowings was 3.4% compared to 3.7% at December 31, 2002. As a result of premiums paid for the notes repurchased in the first quarter 2003, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss of $2.7 million included in Other (income) expense. The Company will record an additional loss approximating $1.6 million in the second quarter 2003 as a result of the repurchase of notes in April. The Company amended its interest rate swaps on two occasions during the first quarter 2003. The first amendment reduced the notional amount of the swaps from $700 million to $500 million in anticipation of the Company's debt repurchase initiative. The second swap amendment reduced the notional value of the swaps to $350 million. In May 2003, the Company eliminated all remaining swaps related to these Notes. On elimination of the floating rate swaps, the interest rate on the 6.45% coupon rate Notes was effectively fixed for the balance of their term at approximately 3.2%. In January 2003, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.15 per share to shareholders. This amount is unchanged from the 2002 quarterly dividend. The Company repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares in the first quarter 2003. Repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market or through private transactions as market and business conditions warrant. The repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with the Company's employee benefit plans and for other general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $78.0 million authorized under its October 2002 repurchase plan. The Company anticipates that its financing requirements will be funded from internal sources and credit facilities currently in place. 12 SUBSEQUENT EVENT ---------------- On May 12, 2003, the Company reached agreement to sell its New York headquarters; the transaction is expected to close in June 2003, at which time the Company will enter into a long-term lease with respect to the space it currently occupies (approximately 40% of the buildings). Proceeds from the sale, expected to approximate $90 million, will be used to reduce short-term borrowings. The anticipated gain on sale will be deferred and amortized as appropriate over the initial lease term, as required under applicable accounting standards. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES --------------------------- The foregoing discussion of the Company's current results and its commentary regarding expected future results include and, where indicated, exclude the impact of nonrecurring charges and the impact of foreign currency on reported results. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. In discussing its historical and expected future results and financial condition, the Company believes it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of the impact that foreign currency and such specifically identified nonrecurring items have on results and financial condition.
