Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Consolidated Financial Statements:
Basis of Presentation
These interim statements and related management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes and management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations, liquidity and capital resources included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2015 Form 10-K”). These interim statements are unaudited. The year-end balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. We have historically operated and continue to operate on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to the last day of the quarter. For ease of presentation, June 30 and December 31 are used consistently throughout this Form 10-Q and these interim financial statements and related notes to represent the period-end dates. For the 2016 and 2015 quarters, the actual closing dates were July 1, and July 3, respectively. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. When used herein, the terms “IFF,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Reclassifications and Revisions
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified and revised to conform with current year presentation.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015, has been revised to properly reflect in-bound goods in transit. Accordingly, Inventory and Accounts payable decreased by $17.0 million. In addition, an adjustment has been made to two line items within net cash provided by operating activities for the 2015 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to reflect the previously recorded correction of a balance sheet classification associated with accounts payable and accruals. These adjustments were not material to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which requires changes to several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the treatment of income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of certain items on the statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption will be permitted for all entities. Among other changes, the standard requires that employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares be presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as a financing activity instead of an operating activity. The Company expects to adopt this change retroactively and that the impact on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows will be approximately $20-$25 million on an annual basis. The Company is currently evaluating the other changes required by the standard.
In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires changes to the accounting for leases. The new guidance establishes a new lease accounting model, that, for all companies, requires entities to record assets and liabilities related to leases on the balance sheet for certain types of leases. The guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2018. Early adoption will be permitted for all entities. The Company expects the adoption of this guidance will result in significant increases to assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet and is still evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
In September 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance relating to the adjustments made during the measurement period for items in a business combination. Specifically, the new guidance requires adjustments related to the finalization of estimates to be recorded in the period when they are determined and to provide certain additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance during 2016 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance retroactively in 2016 and accordingly has reclassified all debt issuance costs on long-term debt as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to clarify the principles to be used to recognize revenue and made subsequent clarifications under the new requirements during May 2016. The guidance is applicable to all entities and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption as of the original effective date is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable
The Company sells certain accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to unrelated financial institutions under “factoring” agreements that are sponsored, solely and individually, by certain customers. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables, removes the receivables sold from its financial statements, and records cash proceeds when received by the Company. The beneficial impact on cash from operations from participating in these programs increased approximately $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to an increase of approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The cost of participating in these programs was immaterial to our results in all periods.
Note 2. Net Income Per Share:
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
(SHARES IN THOUSANDS) | 2016 | | 2015 | | 2016 | | 2015 |
Basic | 79,764 |
| | 80,790 |
| | 79,809 |
| | 80,729 |
|
Assumed dilution under stock plans | 276 |
| | 402 |
| | 332 |
| | 472 |
|
Diluted | 80,040 |
| | 81,192 |
| | 80,141 |
| | 81,201 |
|
An immaterial amount of stock-settled appreciation rights (“SSARs”) were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. There were no stock options or SSARs excluded from the 2015 periods.
The Company has issued shares of purchased restricted common stock (“PRS”) which contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends while these shares are outstanding and thus are considered participating securities. Such securities are required to be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company did not present the two-class method since the difference between basic and diluted net income per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRS shareholders was less than $0.01 per share for each period presented, and the number of PRS outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 was immaterial. Net income allocated to such PRS was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively and $0.5 million and $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Note 3. Acquisitions:
2015 Activity
Lucas Meyer
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, a business of Unipex Group ("Lucas Meyer"). The total shares acquired include shares effectively acquired pursuant to put and call option agreements. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. Total consideration was approximately Euro 284.0 million ($312.1 million), including approximately $4.8 million of cash acquired. The Company paid Euro 282.1 million (approximately $309.9 million) for the acquisition, which was funded from existing resources, and recorded a liability of approximately Euro 2.0 million (approximately $2.2 million) for shares to be purchased under the put and call option agreements. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of existing net assets by approximately $290.1 million. The excess was allocated principally to identifiable intangible assets (approximately $156.4 million), goodwill (approximately $179.5 million) and approximately $38.1 million to deferred taxes. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Separately identifiable intangible assets are principally related to customer relationships, proprietary technology and patents. The intangible assets are being amortized over the following estimated useful lives: trade names and proprietary technology, 28 years; customer relationships, 23 years; patents, 11 years; and non-solicitation agreements, 3 years.
No pro forma financial information for 2016 is presented as the impact of the acquisition was immaterial to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. During the second quarter of 2016, the purchase price allocation was
updated, however, none of the changes were material to the consolidated financial statements. The purchase price allocation was completed during the second quarter of 2016.
Ottens Flavors
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Henry H. Ottens Manufacturing Co., Inc. ("Ottens Flavors"). The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. The Company paid $198.9 million (including $10.4 million of cash acquired) for this acquisition, which was funded from existing resources. The purchase price allocation was completed during the fourth quarter of 2015. No pro forma financial information for 2016 is presented as the impact of the acquisition was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. Restructuring and Other Charges, Net:
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company established a series of initiatives intended to streamline its management structure, simplify decision-making and accountability, better leverage and align its capabilities across the organization and improve efficiency of its global manufacturing and operations network. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $7.6 million, included in restructuring and other charges, net, related to severance and related costs pertaining to approximately 150 positions that will be affected. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company made payments of $1.4 million and recorded accelerated depreciation expense of $0.3 million. The total cost of the plan is expected to be approximately $10.5 million with the remaining charges relating principally to accelerated depreciation. The Company expects the plan to be fully implemented in the second half of 2017.
Changes in employee-related restructuring liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:
|

(1) Amount is net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.
On March 14, 2016, the Company issued Euro 500.0 million face amount of 1.75% Senior Notes ("Euro Senior Notes - 2016") due 2024 at a discount of Euro 0.9 million. The Company received proceeds related to the issuance of these Euro Senior Notes - 2016 of Euro 496.0 million which was net of the Euro 0.9 million discount and Euro 3.1 million underwriting discount (recorded as deferred financing costs). In addition, the Company incurred $1.3 million of other deferred financing costs in connection with the debt issuance. In connection with the debt issuance, the Company entered into pre-issuance hedging transactions that were settled upon issuance of the debt and resulted in a loss of approximately $3.2 million as of June 30, 2016. The discount, deferred financing costs and pre-issuance hedge loss are being amortized as interest expense over the 8 year term of the debt. The Euro Senior Notes - 2016 bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum, with interest payable on March 14 of each year, commencing on March 14, 2017. The Euro Senior Notes - 2016 will mature on March 14, 2024.
Upon 30 days’ notice to holders of the Euro Senior Notes - 2016 , the Company may redeem the Euro Senior Notes - 2016 for cash in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, prior to maturity, at redemption prices that include accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium, as specified in the indenture governing the Euro Senior Notes - 2016. However, no make-whole premium will be paid for redemptions of the Euro Senior Notes - 2016 on or after December 14, 2023. The indenture provides for customary events of default and contains certain negative covenants that limit the ability of
the Company and its subsidiaries to grant liens on assets, or to enter into sale-leaseback transactions. In addition, subject to certain limitations, in the event of the occurrence of both (1) a change of control of the Company and (2) a downgrade of the Euro Senior Notes - 2016 below investment grade rating by both Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services within a specified time period, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Euro Senior Notes - 2016, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
As discussed in Note 11, the Euro Senior Notes - 2016 have been designated as a hedge of the Company's net investment in certain subsidiaries.
On July 12, 2016, the Company made a payment of $125.0 million related to our Senior Notes - 2006.
Note 7. Income Taxes:
Uncertain Tax Positions
At June 30, 2016, the Company had $25.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded in Other liabilities. If these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of $0.9 million classified in Other liabilities.
As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s aggregate provisions for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, was$26.0 million associated with various tax positions asserted in foreign jurisdictions, none of which is individually material.
The Company regularly repatriates a portion of current year earnings from select non–U.S. subsidiaries. No provision is made for additional taxes on undistributed earnings of subsidiary companies that are intended and planned to be indefinitely invested in such subsidiaries. We intend to, and have plans to, reinvest these earnings indefinitely in our foreign subsidiaries to fund local operations and/or capital projects.
The Company has ongoing income tax audits and legal proceedings which are at various stages of administrative or judicial review. In addition, the Company has open tax years with various taxing jurisdictions that range primarily from 2006 to 2015. Based on currently available information, we do not believe the ultimate outcome of any of these tax audits and other tax positions related to open tax years, when finalized, will have a material impact on our financial position.
The Company also has other ongoing tax audits and legal proceedings that relate to indirect taxes, such as value-added taxes, sales and use taxes and property taxes, which are discussed in Note 13.
Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 23.2% compared with 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The quarter-over-quarter increase was largely due to higher loss provisions partially offset by lower cost of repatriation. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 23.3% compared with 20.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a benefit of $10.5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2015, as a result of favorable tax rulings in Spain and another jurisdiction for which reserves were previously recorded and higher loss provisions in 2016, partially offset by lower cost of repatriation in the 2016 period.
Note 8. Stock Compensation Plans:
The Company has various plans under which its officers, senior management, other key employees and directors may be granted equity-based awards. Equity awards outstanding under the plans include PRS, purchased restricted stock units, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock options, SSARs and Long-Term Incentive Plan awards; liability-based awards outstanding under the plans are cash-settled RSUs.

Note 11. Financial Instruments:
Fair Value
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
| |
• | Level 1–Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
| |
• | Level 2–Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. |
| |
• | Level 3–Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. We determine the fair value of structured liabilities (where performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks) using the LIBOR swap curve and forward interest and exchange rates at period end. Such instruments are classified as Level 2 based on the observability of significant inputs to the model. We do not have any instruments classified as Level 1 or Level 3, other than those included in pension asset trusts as discussed in Note 13 of our 2015 Form 10-K.
These valuations take into consideration our credit risk and our counterparties’ credit risk. The estimated change in the fair value of these instruments due to such changes in our own credit risk (or instrument-specific credit risk) was immaterial as of June 30, 2016.
The amounts recorded in the balance sheet (carrying amount) and the estimated fair values of financial instruments at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of the following:
|

(1) | The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. |
| |
(2) | The carrying amount of our credit facilities and bank overdrafts approximates fair value as the interest rate is reset frequently based on current market rates as well as the short maturity of those instruments. |
| |
(3) | The fair value of our long-term debt was calculated using discounted cash flows applying current interest rates and current credit spreads based on our own credit risk. |
Derivatives
The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts with the objective of reducing exposure to cash flow volatility associated with our intercompany loans, foreign currency receivables and payables, and anticipated purchases of certain raw materials used in operations. These contracts generally involve the exchange of one currency for a second currency at a future date, have maturities not exceeding twelve months and are with counterparties which are major international financial institutions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into several forward currency contracts which qualified as net investment hedges, in order to mitigate a portion of our net European investments from foreign currency risk. The effective portions of net investment hedges are recorded in Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a component of Foreign currency translation adjustments in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Realized gains (losses) are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") where they will remain until the net investments in our European subsidiaries are divested. The outstanding forward currency contracts have remaining maturities of approximately one year. Eight of these forward currency contracts matured during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Euro Senior Notes - 2016 during the first quarter of 2016, the Company designated the debt as a hedge of a portion of its net European investments. Accordingly, the change in the value of the debt that is attributable to foreign exchange movements is recorded in OCI as a component of Foreign currency translation adjustments in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into several forward currency contracts which qualified as cash flow hedges. The objective of these hedges is to protect against the currency risk associated with forecasted U.S. dollar (USD) denominated raw material purchases made by Euro (EUR) functional currency entities which result from changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are
recorded in OCI as a component of Gains/(losses) on derivatives qualifying as hedges in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Realized gains/(losses) in AOCI related to cash flow hedges of raw material purchases are recognized as a component of Cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related costs are recognized.
During 2015 and 2014, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted the fixed rate on a portion of our long-term borrowings to a variable short-term rate based on the LIBOR plus an interest markup. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges. Amounts recognized in Interest expense were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company entered into and terminated two Euro interest rate swap agreements to hedge the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI as a component of Losses on derivatives qualifying as hedges in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company incurred a loss of Euro 2.9 million ($3.2 million) due to the termination of these swaps. The loss will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the Euro Senior Notes - 2016 as discussed in Note 6.

The Company expects that approximately $1.7 million (net of tax) of derivative losses included in AOCI at June 30, 2016, based on current market rates, will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. The majority of this amount will vary due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies:
Guarantees and Letters of Credit
The Company has various bank guarantees and letters of credit which are available for use to support its ongoing business operations and to satisfy governmental requirements associated with pending litigation in various jurisdictions.
At June 30, 2016, we had total bank guarantees and standby letters of credit of approximately $38.4 million with various financial institutions. Included in the above aggregate amount is a total of $16.2 million in bank guarantees which the Company has posted for certain assessments in Brazil for other diverse income tax and indirect tax disputes related to fiscal years 1998-2011. There were no material amounts utilized under the standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2016.
In order to challenge the assessments in these cases in Brazil, the Company has been required to, and has separately pledged assets, principally property, plant and equipment, to cover assessments in the amount of approximately $13.4 million as of June 30, 2016.
Lines of Credit
The Company has various lines of credit which are available to support its ongoing business operations. At June 30, 2016, we had available lines of credit (in addition to the $950 million of capacity under the Credit Facility discussed in Note 8 of our 2015 Form 10-K) of approximately $76.6 million with various financial institutions. There were no significant amounts drawn down pursuant to these lines of credit as of June 30, 2016.
Litigation
The Company assesses contingencies related to litigation and/or other matters to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss. A loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly sensitive and requires judgments about future events. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company reviews contingencies related to litigation to determine the adequacy of accruals. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates and further events may require the Company to increase or decrease the amounts it has accrued on any matter.
Periodically, we assess our insurance coverage for all known claims, where applicable, taking into account aggregate coverage by occurrence, limits of coverage, self-insured retentions and deductibles, historical claims experience and claims experience with our insurance carriers. The liabilities are recorded at management’s best estimate of the probable outcome of the lawsuits and claims, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the individual matters as well as past experience on similar matters. At each balance sheet date, the key issues that management assesses are whether it is probable that a loss as to asserted or unasserted claims has been incurred and if so, whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We record the expected liability with respect to claims in Other liabilities and expected recoveries from our
insurance carriers in Other assets. We recognize a receivable when we believe that realization of the insurance receivable is probable under the terms of the insurance policies and our payment experience to date.
Environmental
Over the past 20 years, various federal and state authorities and private parties have claimed that we are a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) as a generator of waste materials for alleged pollution at a number of waste sites operated by third parties located principally in New Jersey and have sought to recover costs incurred and to be incurred to clean up the sites.
We have been identified as a PRP at eight facilities operated by third parties at which investigation and/or remediation activities may be ongoing. We analyze our potential liability on at least a quarterly basis. We accrue for environmental liabilities when they are probable and estimable. We estimate our share of the total future cost for these sites to be less than $5 million.
While joint and several liability is authorized under federal and state environmental laws, we believe the amounts we have paid and anticipate paying in the future for clean-up costs and damages at all sites are not material and will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. This assessment is based upon, among other things, the involvement of other PRPs at most of the sites, the status of the proceedings, including various settlement agreements and consent decrees, and the extended time period over which payments will likely be made. There can be no assurance, however, that future events will not require us to materially increase the amounts we anticipate paying for clean-up costs and damages at these sites, and that such increased amounts will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
China Facilities
Guangzhou Flavors plant
During 2015, the Company was notified by Chinese authorities of compliance issues pertaining to the emission of odors from several of its plants in China. As a result, the Company's Flavors facility in China was temporarily idled. Accordingly, the Company invested approximately $6.5 in odor-abatement equipment at these facilities to address these issues and is in the process of building a second Flavors site in China, which is expected to be completed during 2018.
If the Company is required to close a plant, or operate one at significantly reduced production levels on a permanent basis, the Company may be required to record charges that could have a material impact on its consolidated financial results of operations, financial position and cash flows in future periods.
Zhejiang Ingredients plant
The Company has received a request from the Chinese government to relocate its Fragrance Ingredients plant in Zhejiang, China. The Company is in discussions with the government regarding the timing of the requested relocation and the amount and nature of government compensation to be provided to the Company. The net book value of the current site approximates $25 million. Depending upon the ultimate outcome of these discussions with the Chinese government, between $0-25 million of the remaining net book value may be subject to accelerated depreciation.
Other Contingencies
The Company has contingencies involving third parties (such as labor, contract, technology or product-related claims or litigation) as well as government-related items in various jurisdictions in which we operate pertaining to such items as value-added taxes, other indirect taxes, customs and duties and sales and use taxes. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations, in any period, could be materially affected by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
The most significant government-related contingencies exist in Brazil. With regard to the Brazilian matters, we believe we have valid defenses for the underlying positions under dispute; however, in order to pursue these defenses, we are required to, and have provided, bank guarantees and pledged assets in the aggregate amount of $29.6 million. The Brazilian matters take an extended period of time to proceed through the judicial process and there are a limited number of rulings to date.
In March 2012, ZoomEssence, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey alleging trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract and unjust enrichment in connection with certain spray dry technology disclosed to the Company. In connection with the claims, ZoomEssence is seeking an injunction and monetary damages. ZoomEssence initially sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, but the Court denied these applications in an order entered on September 27, 2013, finding that ZoomEssence had not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of its claims. The Court subsequently referred the matter to mediation, however the private mediation session did not result in a resolution of the dispute. On November 3, 2014, ZoomEssence amended its complaint against the Company to include allegations of breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, fraud in the inducement, and misappropriation of confidential and proprietary information. On November 13, 2014, the Company filed a counterclaim
against ZoomEssence alleging trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, misappropriation of confidential and proprietary information, common law unfair competition, tortious interference with contractual relations, and conversion. The case is currently proceeding through discovery with a trial on the merits anticipated in late 2016/early 2017. The Company denies the allegations and will vigorously defend and pursue its position in Court. At this stage of the litigation, based on the information currently available to the Company, management does not believe that this matter represents a material loss contingency.
Based on the information available as of June 30, 2016, we estimate a range of reasonably possible loss related to the matters above, collectively, is $0-$46 million.
Separately, the Spanish tax authorities alleged claims for a capital tax, the Appellate Court rejected one of the two bases upon which we based our capital tax position. On January 22, 2014, we filed an appeal and in order to avoid future interest costs in the event our appeal was unsuccessful, we paid Euro 9.8 million ($11.2 million, representing the principal amount) during the first quarter of 2014. On February 24, 2016, we received a favorable ruling on our appeal from the Spanish Supreme Court which overruled a lower court ruling. As a result of this decision, we have reversed the previously recorded provision of Euro 9.8 million ($10.5 million) for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the second quarter of 2016, we recorded additional income of $1.4 million related to the finalization of amounts expected to be received from the authorities. This amount has been reflected as a reduction of administrative expense.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Company background
We create, manufacture and supply flavors and fragrances (including cosmetic active ingredients) that are used in the food, beverage, personal care and household products industries either in the form of compounds or individual ingredients, including cosmetic active ingredients. Our flavors and fragrance compounds combine a number of ingredients that are blended, mixed or reacted together to produce proprietary formulas created by our flavorists and perfumers.
Flavors are the key building blocks that impart taste experiences in food and beverage products and, as such, play a significant role in determining consumer preference of the end products in which they are used. As a leading creator of flavors, we help our customers deliver on the promise of delicious and healthy foods and drinks that appeal to consumers. While we are a global leader, our flavors business is more regional in nature, with different formulas that reflect local taste preferences. Our flavors compounds are ultimately used by our customers in four end-use categories: (1) Savory, (2) Beverages, (3) Sweet and (4) Dairy.
We are a global leader in the creation of fragrance compounds that are integral elements in the world’s finest perfumes and best-known consumer products, within fabric care, home care, personal wash, hair care and toiletries products. Our Fragrances business consists of Fragrance Compounds and Fragrance Ingredients. Our Fragrance Compounds are defined into two broad categories, (1) Fine Fragrances and (2) Consumer Fragrances. Consumer Fragrances consists of five end-use categories of products: (1) Fabric Care, (2) Home Care, (3) Personal Wash, (4) Hair Care and (5) Toiletries. In addition, Fragrance Ingredients, that are used internally and sold to third parties, including customers and competitors, for use in preparation of compounds, and cosmetic active ingredients, which consist of active and functional ingredients, are included in the Fragrances business unit.
The flavors and fragrances market is part of a larger market which supplies a wide variety of ingredients and compounds that are used in consumer products. The broader market includes large multinational companies or smaller regional and local participants which supply products such as seasonings, texturizers, spices, enzymes, certain food-related commodities, fortified products and cosmetic active ingredients. The global market for flavors and fragrances has expanded consistently, primarily as a result of an increase in demand for, as well as an increase in the variety of, consumer products containing flavors and fragrances. In 2014, the flavors and fragrances market, in which we compete, was estimated by management to be at least $18 billion and is forecasted to grow to approximately $21.6 billion by 2019, primarily driven by expected growth in emerging markets; however the exact size of the global market is not available due to fragmentation of data. We estimate the market size for cosmetic active ingredients to be approximately $1.5 billion as of 2015. We, together with the other top three companies, are estimated to represent approximately two-thirds of the total estimated sales in the global flavors and fragrances sub-segment of the broader market.
During the second quarter of 2015, we completed the acquisition of Ottens Flavors, and in the third quarter of 2015, we completed the acquisition of Lucas Meyer. The acquisitions did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income either individually or in aggregate.
2016 Overview
Net sales during the second quarter of 2016 increased 3% on a reported basis and 4% on a currency neutral basis (which excludes the effects of changes in currency), with the effects of acquisitions contributing approximately 2% to both reported and currency neutral basis growth rates. The currency neutral growth of 4% reflects new win performance (net of losses) in Flavors and Fragrance Compounds in addition to strong growth in Fragrance Ingredients, driven by the impact of acquisitions and lower volume erosion on existing business in Fragrance Compounds.
Exchange rate fluctuations had a 100 basis point (bps) unfavorable impact on net sales for the second quarter, due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The effect of exchange rates can vary by business and region, depending upon the mix of sales by destination country as well as the relative percentage of local sales priced in U.S. dollars versus local currencies.
Gross margins increased year-over-year to 46.1% in the second quarter of 2016 from 45.0% in the 2015 period driven primarily by volume growth, the benefits of productivity initiatives and the contribution of acquisitions. Included in the second quarter of 2016 was $1.0 million of restructuring costs and operational improvement initiative costs, compared to $1.1 million of costs associated with accelerated depreciation included in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding these items, gross margin increased 110 bps compared to the prior year period. The overall raw material cost base continues to be essentially benign. We believe that we will continue to see higher prices on certain categories (such as naturals including vanilla) that will be largely
offset by benefits associated with oil-based derivatives that are expected to continue in 2016. We continue to seek improvements in our margins through operational performance, cost reduction efforts and mix enhancement.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Sales
Reported sales in the second quarter of 2016 increased approximately 3%. In currency neutral terms, sales increased 4%, reflecting new win performance in both Flavors and Fragrance Compounds, lower volume erosion on existing business in Fragrance Compounds and the effect of acquisitions (which added approximately 2% to both reported and currency neutral basis amounts). We continue to benefit from our diverse portfolio of end-use product categories and geographies and had currency neutral growth in three of our four regions and all four of our end-use product categories. Flavors realized currency neutral growth of 3% for the second quarter of 2016, which was partially driven by the inclusion of acquisitions. Our Fragrance business achieved currency neutral growth of 5%, driven primarily by the inclusion of acquisitions. Fragrances growth principally reflects strong growth within Fragrance Ingredients, which was driven entirely by the inclusion of acquisitions. Overall, our second quarter 2016 results include 5% growth from developed markets and 3% growth from emerging markets which each represented 50% of currency neutral sales. From a geographic perspective, for the second quarter, North America (NOAM), Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EAME) and Greater Asia (GA) all delivered currency neutral growth in 2016, led by GA with 8%. Latin America (LA) sales declined 3% on a currency neutral basis.
Operating profit
Operating profit increased $15.6 million to $164.5 million (20.7% of sales) in the 2016 second quarter compared to $148.8 million (19.4% of sales) in the comparable 2015 period. The second quarter of 2016 included $1.2 million of restructuring, acquisition-related, and operational improvement costs compared to $6.5 million of acquisition-related, restructuring and operational improvement initiative costs in the prior year period. Excluding these charges, adjusted operating profit increased to $165.7 million (20.9% of sales) for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $155.3 million (20.2% of sales) for the second quarter of 2015. Foreign currency changes did not have an impact on operating profit in the 2016 period, but had an unfavorable impact on operating profit of approximately 8% in the 2015 period versus the 2014 period.
Other (income) expense, net
Other (income) expense, net increased $3.0 million to $2.6 million of income in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $0.4 million of expense in the second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase is primarily driven by favorable year-over-year foreign exchange gains/(losses) in 2016.
Net income
Net income increased by $11.4 million quarter-over-quarter to $116.7 million for the second quarter of 2016, driven by the factors discussed above.
Cash flows
Cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $154.6 million or 9.8% of sales, compared to cash inflow from operations of $166.3 million or 10.8% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in cash flows from operations in 2016 was principally driven by increased core working capital levels (trade receivables, inventories and accounts payable) partially offset by lower pension contributions for the 2016 period as compared to the 2015 period.

SECOND QUARTER 2016 IN COMPARISON TO SECOND QUARTER 2015
Sales
Sales for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $793.5 million, an increase of 3% from the prior year quarter. On a currency neutral basis sales increased 4%, as a result of new win performance in both Flavors and Fragrance Compounds, in addition to strong growth in Fragrance Ingredients (driven by the impact of acquisitions) and lower volume erosion on existing business in Fragrance Compounds. On both a reported and currency neutral basis, the effect of acquisitions was approximately 2% to net sales amounts.
Flavors Business Unit
Flavors reported sales increased 2% from the prior year period while currency neutral sales increased 3% during the second quarter of 2016 compared to the 2015 period, which reflects new win performance and was partially driven by the inclusion of acquisitions in both reported and currency neutral basis amounts. The currency neutral increase was due to low single-digit growth in all four end-use categories. The Flavors business delivered currency neutral growth in NOAM, EAME and GA, led by GA. Sales in GA were led by double-digit gains in Sweet and mid single-digit gains in Savory. EAME sales were driven by double-digit gains in Dairy and high single-digit gains in Beverage. Sales in NOAM were driven by high single-digit gains in Beverage. LA sales declines were driven by double-digit declines in Sweet and high single-digit declines in Beverage.
Fragrances Business Unit
The Fragrances business experienced an increase of 5% in both reported and currency neutral sales for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015. Acquisitions accounted for substantially all of the growth on a reported basis and accounted for approximately half of the growth on a currency neutral basis. The overall currency neutral increase was primarily driven by double-digit growth in Fragrance Ingredients, which is driven entirely by the inclusion of acquisitions, in addition to double-digit growth in Personal Wash and mid single-digit growth in Home Care and Hair Care categories. Excluding the effects of acquisitions, Fragrance Ingredients sales declined mid single-digits on a currency neutral basis.

• | NOAM Flavors sales increased 4%, which included the impact of acquisitions contributing to high single-digit growth in Beverage and low single-digit growth in Sweet. NOAM Fragrance sales increased 7% in the second quarter of 2016, principally due to double-digit gains Fragrance Ingredients, which included the impact of acquisitions, Home Care, Fabric Care and Hair Care, which was partially offset by mid single-digit declines in Fine Fragrance. |

| |
• | LA Flavors currency neutral sales declined 7% driven by double-digit declines in Sweet and high single-digit declines in Beverage, which were only partially offset by mid single-digit growth in Savory and Dairy categories. LA Fragrances currency neutral sales decreased 1% overall, principally driven by double-digit declines in Fragrance Ingredients and Home Care as well as high single-digit declines in Fabric Care, which were only partially offset by double-digit growth in Fine Fragrance and Personal Wash. |
| |
• | GA Flavors currency neutral sales increased 6% from the prior year period driven by double-digit growth in Sweet, mid single-digit growth in Savory and low single-digit gains in Beverage and Dairy.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, decreased 110 bps to 53.9% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 55.0% in the second quarter of 2015, principally driven by cost savings and productivity initiatives.

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles
Amortization expenses increased $2.1 million to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. The $2.1 million increase was driven by the acquisitions of Ottens Flavors and Lucas Meyer in the second and third quarters of 2015, respectively.

Flavors Segment Profit
Flavors segment profit increased to $90.3 million in the second quarter of 2016, or 23.8% as a percentage of sales, with $84.0 million, or 22.6% as a percentage of sales, in the comparable 2015 period, principally reflecting productivity initiatives which were partially offset by incremental costs related to new sites.
Fragrances Segment Profit
Fragrances segment profit increased approximately 9.6% to $87.6 million in the second quarter of 2016, or 21.2% as a percentage of sales, compared to $79.9 million, or 20.2% as a percentage of sales, in the comparable 2015 period. The increase in segment profit and profit margin was primarily due to volume growth, productivity initiatives and the impact of Lucas Meyer, which were partially offset by the net impact of price versus input costs and increased incentive compensation.
Global Expenses
Global expenses represent corporate and headquarters-related expenses which include legal, finance, human resources and R&D and other administrative expenses that are not allocated to an individual business unit. In the second quarter of 2016, Global expenses were $12.2 million compared to $8.6 million during the second quarter of 2015. The increase was principally driven by higher compensation costs and lower favorable impact from our cash flow hedging program.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $3.7 million to $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $11.4 million in the 2015 period reflecting the impact of borrowings under the Euro Senior Notes - 2016. Average cost of debt was 4.0% for the 2016 period compared to 4.7% for the 2015 period.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net increased by approximately $3.0 million to $2.6 million of income in the second quarter of 2016 versus $0.4 million of expense in the comparable 2015 period. The year-over-year increase is primarily driven by higher foreign exchange gains in 2016.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 23.2% compared with 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The quarter-over-quarter increase is largely due to higher loss provisions in 2016 partially offset by lower cost of repatriation in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the $0.2 million tax benefit associated with the pretax restructuring and operational improvement initiatives and the $0.1 million tax charge associated with acquisition costs included in the current quarter, the second quarter 2016 adjusted effective tax rate was 23.1%, or 50 bps higher than the second quarter 2015 adjusted effective tax rate of 22.6%. The 2015 adjusted effective tax rate excluded $0.9 million of tax benefit associated with the pretax acquisition and operational improvement initiative costs and $0.1 million tax charge associated with pretax restructuring costs.
