OVERVIEW Revenue Revenue was $462.1 million and $414.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue was $897.9 million and $806.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to higher volumes and selling prices and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates that increased revenue by approximately 2% and 3%, respectively. Gross Margin The Company’s gross margin was 37.4% and 34.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company’s gross margin was 36.2% and 34.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, decreased gross margin by 40 and 50 basis points, respectively. See Portfolio Optimization Plan below for further information. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received $4.8 million of tariff refunds that improved gross margin by 100 and 50 basis points, respectively. The Company’s gross margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were further impacted by the higher volumes and selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.8% and 20.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.3% for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, selling and administrative expenses were increased by Portfolio Optimization Plan costs totaling $1.6 and $2.6 million, respectively, which increased selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue by approximately 40 basis points for each period. See Portfolio Optimization Plan below for further information. After the effects of the Portfolio Optimization Costs in 2025, the increase in selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2026. 15 Index Operating Income Operating income was $76.7 million and $57.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating margins were 16.6% and 13.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating income was $143.4 million and $111.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Operating margins were 16.0% and 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The tariff refunds increased operating margins by approximately 100 and 50 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Portfolio Optimization Plan costs decreased operating margins by approximately 80 basis points for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s operating margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were further impacted by the higher volumes and selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher performance-based executive compensation costs incurred in 2026 . Interest Expense Interest expense was $8.2 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $16.1 million and $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in the average outstanding debt balance. Income Taxes The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 25.1% and 25.3%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the effective income tax rates were 25.0% and 25.3%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were both impacted by the mix of foreign earnings and changes in estimates associated with the finalization of prior year foreign tax items. Acquisition On February 14, 2025, the Company acquired Biolie SAS , a natural color extraction business located in France. The Company paid $4.9 million in cash for this acquisition, which is net of $0.2 million in debt assumed. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired net assets of $0.3 million, with the remaining $4.6 million allocated to goodwill. This business is part of the Color segment. Portfolio Optimization Plan During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to undertake an effort to optimize certain production facilities and improve efficiencies within the Company (Portfolio Optimization Plan). As part of the Portfolio Optimization Plan, in the Flavors & Extracts segment, the Company evaluated the closure of its manufacturing facility in Felinfach, Wales, United Kingdom, the closure of its sales office in Granada, Spain, and the centralization and elimination of certain selling and administrative positions. In addition, in the Color segment, the Company evaluated the closure of a manufacturing facility in Delta, British Columbia, Canada, the closure of a sales office in Argentina, and centralizing and eliminating certain production positions and selling and administrative positions.

The Company’s Felinfach site was shut down in May 2025, and all production activities have been transferred to other locations. The Company began marketing the Felinfach site for sale in June 2025, at which point the held for sale criteria was met. These are the sole assets recorded in Fixed assets held for sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025. The Company sold the land and building assets in February 2026 for approximately $2.0 million, resulting in a $0.4 million gain recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company has completed all actions contemplated under the Portfolio Optimization Plan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred costs of $3.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan recorded in Corporate & Other, primarily for dual plant operating costs, professional services, non-cash inventory charges, decommissioning costs, and employee separation costs. The Company did not incur any costs related to the Portfolio Optimization Plan for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026. 16 Index NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Within the following tables, the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including: (1) adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which exclude restructuring and other costs, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, (2) percentage changes in revenue, operating income, and diluted earnings per share on an adjusted local currency basis, which eliminate the effects that result from translating its international operations into U.S. dollars and restructuring and other costs, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs , and (3) adjusted EBITDA, which excludes restructuring and other costs, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, and non-cash share based compensation expense .

See the Portfolio Optimization Plan section above for further information. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Financial Condition The Company’s financial position remains strong. The Company is in compliance with its loan covenants calculated in accordance with applicable agreements as of June 30, 2026. The Company expects to increase its existing indebtedness in the short-term to further support the increased cash requirements for operations and capital expenditures associated with the natural colors conversion activity. In the long-term, the Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations and debt capacity can be used to meet anticipated future cash requirements for operations, capital expenditures, and dividend payments, as well as potential acquisitions and stock repurchases. The Company’s contractual obligations consist primarily of operational commitments, which we expect to continue to be able to satisfy through cash generated from operations, and debt. The Company has various series of notes outstanding that mature from 2026 through 2030. The Company believes that it has the ability to refinance or repay these obligations through a combination of cash flow from operations, issuance of additional notes, and sufficient borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which matures in 2030. As a result of our ability to manage the impact of inflation through pricing and other actions, the impact of inflation was not material to the Company’s financial position and its results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company has experienced increased costs for certain inputs, such as raw materials, energy, shipping and logistics, packaging, and labor-related costs. We continue to expect to manage these impacts in the near term, but persistent, accelerated, or expanded inflationary conditions, including any heightened inflationary pressures resulting from the conflict between the United States and Iran and its aftermath, could exacerbate these challenges and impact our profitability. The Company continues to monitor developments with respect to tariffs and other trade policy matters closely, including impacts from the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and other litigation, as well as the implementation of additional tariffs. As of June 30, 2026, we have received approximately $5 million of IEEPA tariff refunds, which included applicable interest. We do not anticipate receiving any further tariff refunds in the future. The tariffs imposed by the United States, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on United States exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. As a result of these ongoing tariff-related actions, the Company anticipates incurring incremental tariff costs on certain raw materials to produce our products and certain finished goods shipped to customers. However, the Company expects to manage the impact of the increased tariff costs through pricing actions. To the extent the Company is unable to offset the increased tariff costs, or the tariffs negatively impact demand, or other trade barriers are implemented, the Company’s revenue and profitability would be adversely impacted. If additional tariffs are adopted, the Company would incur additional tariff costs that could be material. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, such as the extension of certain expiring provisions, modifications to the international tax framework, and the continuation of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions implemented through 2027. These provisions did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026. We will continue to assess the OBBBA tax provisions and their impacts on our consolidated financial statements. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $34.8 million and $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash used by inventory during 2026 compared to 2025 and a decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in cash provided by accounts payable and other accrued expenses. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $65.8 million and $41.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Capital expenditures were $67.5 million and $38.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In 2026, t he Company received $2.0 million for the sale of the Felinfach land and building assets. In 2025, the Company paid $4.9 million for the acquisition of Biolie SAS . 20 Index Cash Flows from Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities was $23.5 million and $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net debt increased by $62.8 million and $63.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The cash proceeds from the increase in net debt in the current period were primarily used to support natural color conversion capital expenditure investments during the six months ended June 30, 2026. For purposes of the cash flow statement, net changes in debt exclude the impact of foreign exchange rates. Dividends of $34.9 million and $34.7 million were paid during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total dividends of $0.82 per share were paid for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
