, a leading global
creator of flavors and fragrances for consumer products, today reported
financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December
31, 2012.





Fourth Quarter 2012 Results






Reported revenue increased $37 million or 6% to $681 million from $644
million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of foreign
currency (by translating current and prior year sales at the same
exchange rates), local currency sales increased 8% reflecting a high
level of new wins and positive volume on existing business. Our
expanding footprint in emerging markets accounted for 49% of fourth
quarter sales.






On a like-for-like (LFL) basis, which excludes the exit of Flavors
low-margin sales activities, local currency sales increased 10%.






Net income for the quarter totaled $68.1 million, or $0.83 per share,
compared with net income of $24.4 million or $0.30 per share in the
prior year quarter. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 included
an aggregate charge of $36.8 million, or $0.44 per share, related to a
patent litigation settlement and restructuring and other charges.






Excluding the patent litigation settlement and restructuring charges
from the prior year’s results, adjusted net income increased 11% to
$68.1 million from $61.1 million in the prior year quarter, and
adjusted earnings per share (EPS) increased 12% to $0.83 per share
from $0.74 per share in the prior year quarter.





Full Year 2012 Results






Reported revenue for the full year increased 1% to $2.8 billion. Local
currency sales increased 4% for the full year, reflecting accelerated
momentum throughout the year. On a like-for-like basis, sales
increased 5%. The emerging markets accounted for 47% of full year
sales.






Net income for the full year totaled $254.1 million, or $3.09 per
share, compared with net income of $266.9 million or $3.26 per share
in the prior year. Net income for the full year includes special
charges of $73.4 million, or $0.89 per share, almost all of which is
related to the previously-announced Spanish tax settlement. Net income
for the prior year included an aggregate charge of $39.3 million, or
$0.47 per share, related to a patent litigation settlement and
restructuring and other charges.






Excluding these charges from operating results, adjusted net income
increased 7% to $327.5 million from $306.2 million and full year
adjusted EPS increased 6% to $3.98 from $3.74.






Cash flows from operations for the full year were $333.1 million, or
11.8% of sales, compared with $189.2 million, or 6.8% of sales in the
prior year. Cash flow from operations for 2012 includes a $105.5
million cash outflow arising from the Spanish tax settlement, and for
2011 includes a $40 million payment for a patent litigation
settlement. Excluding these items, the Company’s cash flow from
operations nearly doubled in 2012.





Management Commentary





Doug Tough, Chairman and CEO, said, “We had a strong finish to the year,
driven by our diverse product portfolio, expanding geographic footprint
and commitment to providing customers with innovative and superior
products that are desired and enjoyed by consumers all around the world.
This diversification allowed us to achieve strong broad-based growth in
the fourth quarter, led by double-digit growth in the emerging markets.
Both business units contributed to our gross margin performance,
reflecting strong new wins from our continued focus on innovation,
ongoing manufacturing leverage, and the impact of exiting lower margin
sales activities. Our strong top-line performance enabled us to achieve
local currency sales, operating profit and EPS growth in line with our
long-term targets.”





“For the full year we delivered local currency sales growth of 4%,
marking the third consecutive year of top-line growth in line with our
long-term growth targets. We made targeted investments to expand our
footprint in the growing markets of Greater Asia, which included opening
a new manufacturing facility in Singapore and a creative center in
India, continuing construction on our facility in China, and initiating
investments behind our recently-announced capacity expansion project in
Turkey. Based on our consumer insights and market knowledge, our
research programs are aligned under our key R&D platforms, which are
designed to meet the consumer needs of today while anticipating the
consumer preferences of tomorrow. We announced earlier this week that we
are have made further progress with our biotechnology partner, Evolva,
on creating an alternative route for vanillin, which we believe will
provide us with a sustainable source for this key flavoring ingredient
and give us a strong competitive advantage.”





“We are very well positioned in the market, and enter 2013 with a strong
R&D pipeline and solid growth momentum. We have confidence in our
strengths and will continue to focus on excellence in execution of our
strategies.”





Fourth Quarter 2012 Operating Highlights






Local currency sales increased 8%, supported by 11% growth in the
emerging markets, and 6% growth in the developed markets. On a
like-for-like basis, local currency sales increased 10%.






Gross profit margins, as a percentage of sales, improved to 42.2%,
compared with 37.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011. The improved
performance was driven by favorable manufacturing leverage due to the
strong volume growth, cost savings initiatives, an improved sales mix
including benefits associated with exiting low-margin sales activities
in Flavors, and the continued benefits of pricing which helped to
offset the continued high level of input costs.






Research, selling and administrative (RSA) expenses, as a percentage
of sales, was 27.6% compared with 29.0% in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Excluding the impact of the 2011 patent litigation settlement,
adjusted RSA, as a percentage of sales, increased 380 basis points to
27.6% compared with 23.8% in the prior year quarter, primarily as a
result of higher incentive compensation accruals owing to the strength
of our strong performance this quarter and its impact on the
achievement of our full year sales growth targets. Before the impact
of incentive compensation, adjusted RSA as a percentage of sales would
have shown a decrease versus a year ago.






Operating profit totaled $99.2 million, compared with $47.8 million in
the prior year quarter. Operating profit in the prior year quarter
included an aggregate charge of $43 million related to the patent
litigation settlement and restructuring charges. Excluding these
items, adjusted operating profit increased $8 million, or 9%, to $99.2
million from $91.1 million in the prior year, as a result of volume
growth, mix improvements and manufacturing leverage, which more than
offset increased incentive compensation accruals. Adjusted operating
profit margin increased 50 basis points to 14.6% from 14.1% in the
prior year.






Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million in the fourth quarter
compared with the prior year quarter, reflecting lower levels of
outstanding debt.






The effective tax rate for the quarter was 23.2% compared with 39.8%
in the prior year. The prior year tax rate was negatively impacted by
the patent litigation settlement and restructuring charges. The
quarter-over-quarter reduction also reflects favorable adjustments to
provisions for uncertain tax positions and a lower cost of
repatriation. These items were partially offset by the absence of the
R&D tax credit in 2012.





Fourth Quarter 2012 Segment Results





Fragrances Business Unit






Reported revenue increased 10% to $354 million in the fourth quarter,
compared with $322 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Local
currency sales increased 13% in the fourth quarter. Fragrance
Compounds momentum continued this quarter with local currency growth
of 15%, marking the third consecutive quarter of accelerated growth.






Fragrance Ingredients delivered local currency sales growth of 6%,
which marked the first quarter of growth since Q1 2011.






Strong new customer wins and broad-based growth in our Fragrance
Compounds business drove local currency sales growth of 15%, with
double-digit growth in Latin America, Greater Asia and North America
and solid growth in EAME. Fine Fragrance and Beauty Care achieved 19%
local currency sales growth and Functional Fragrance delivered 12%
local currency sales growth.






Fragrances gross margins increased over the prior year quarter
primarily due to strong new wins, favorable category mix, cost savings
initiatives and the continued benefits of pricing which is helping to
offset the continued high level of input costs.






Segment profit totaled $53 million in the fourth quarter of 2012
compared with $37 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, or an
increase of 44%. The improved segment profit is due to strong volume
growth combined with gross margin expansion, which offset increased
incentive compensation expenses this quarter. Segment profit margin
increased 360 basis points to 15.1% from 11.5%.





Flavors Business Unit






Reported revenue increased 1% to $326 million in the fourth quarter
from $323 million in the prior year quarter.






Local currency sales increased 3% in the fourth quarter fueled by
stronger growth in the emerging markets of Southeast Asia and Latin
America combined with steady growth in the developed markets of North
America and Western Europe. On a like-for-like basis, local currency
sales increased 7% over the prior year quarter, led by 15% LFL growth
in North America.






From an end-use category perspective, local currency sales growth was
fueled by double-digit growth in Beverages, particularly in North
America, followed by solid growth in Savory and Dairy, primarily in
Greater Asia.






Flavors gross margins increased over the prior year quarter primarily
due to favorable category mix, the impact of exiting low-margin sales
activities, and the continued benefits of previous pricing to help
offset the continued high level of input costs.






Segment profit totaled $62 million in the fourth quarter of 2012,
compared with $63 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Overall sales
growth and expanded gross margins due to favorable category mix and
pricing realization were more than offset by higher RSA expenses,
including increased incentive compensation expense. Segment profit
margin decreased 60 basis points to 19.0% from 19.6%.





Full Year 2012 Operating Highlights






Local currency sales increased 4%, reflecting 8% growth in emerging
markets. On a like-for-like basis, local currency sales increased 5%.






Gross profit margins, as a percentage of sales, improved to 41.7%,
compared with 39.6% in 2011. The improved performance was due to an
improved mix of business, the benefits associated with exiting
low-margin sales activities, continued pricing, moderating raw
material cost increases and ongoing manufacturing efficiencies.






Research, selling and administrative (RSA) expenses, as a percentage
of sales, was 24.4% compared with 23.8% in 2011. Excluding the impact
of the 2011 patent litigation settlement, the adjusted RSA, as a
percentage of sales, increased 180 points to 24.4% compared with 22.6%
in 2011, primarily as a result of higher incentive compensation
accruals and pension expenses.






Operating profit totaled $487 million in 2012 compared with $428
million in 2011. Excluding an aggregate charge of $46.7 million
related to the patent litigation and restructuring charges from the
prior year’s results, and $1.7 million of restructuring charges form
the current year’s results, adjusted operating profit increased $14
million or 3% to $488 million in 2012 from $474 million in 2011.
Adjusted operating profit margins increased 30 basis points to 17.3%
from 17.0%.






Interest expense decreased by $3 million year-over-year, reflecting
lower levels of outstanding debt.






The effective tax rate was 42.7% in 2012 as compared to a rate of
28.6% in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the 2011 and 2012
items previously noted, including the 2011 patent litigation and
restructuring charges and the 2012 Spanish tax settlement and
restructuring charges, the adjusted effective tax rate for 2012 was
26.4%, compared with 27.1% in the prior year. The year-over-year
reduction reflects favorable adjustments to provisions for uncertain
tax positions in 2012, combined with a lower cost of repatriation.
These favorable impacts were partially offset by the absence of the US
R&D tax credit in 2012.





Full Year 2012 Segment Results





Fragrances Business Unit






Reported revenue for the full year of $1.4 billion was flat compared
with the prior year. Fragrance local currency sales increased 3%. The
Fragrances segment contributed 51% of the total consolidated revenue.






For the full year, Fragrance Compounds had local currency growth of
7%, compared with 1% local currency growth in 2011. Fragrance
Ingredients, although improving over the course of the year, declined
10% in local currency sales in 2012 versus 2011.






Fragrance Compounds showed positive local currency sales growth across
all regions, with double-digit growth in Latin America and solid
growth in Greater Asia, North America and EAME. Both Fine Fragrance &
Beauty Care and Functional delivered full year local currency sales
growth of 7% due to strong new customer wins.






Fragrances gross margins increased over the prior year primarily due
to new customer wins, favorable category mix, and productivity gains
from cost savings initiatives and continued pricing to offset higher
input costs.






Segment profit totaled $238 million in 2012 compared with $227 million
in the prior year, or an increase of 5%. The segment profit
improvement is due to improved category mix and pricing, combined with
ongoing cost discipline including the benefit from the strategic
realignment plan announced in the first quarter of 2012, which more
than offset higher raw material costs. Segment profit margin increased
80 basis points to 16.5% from 15.7%.





Flavors Business Unit






Reported revenue for the full year increased 2% to $1.4 billion. The
Flavors segment contributed 49% of the total consolidated revenue.

Asia, Flavors largest region, delivered growth of 7% for the full year
growth, or 8% on a LFL basis. The developed market of North America
delivered like-for-like growth of 9%.






From an end-use category perspective, local currency growth was fueled
by double-digit growth in Beverages, followed by solid growth in
Savory and Dairy.






Flavors full year gross margins increased over the prior year
primarily due to favorable category mix, the impact of exiting
low-margin sales activities and continued pricing.






Full year segment profit for Flavors totaled $298 million compared
with $284 million in the prior year. The improved segment profit is
due to strong volume growth, favorable category mix and pricing
realization that more than offset higher raw material costs, ongoing
investments in R&D and increased incentive compensation expenses.
Segment profit margin increased 50 basis points to 21.6% from 21.1%.
