Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Cash conversion
-
operating cash flow ÷ net income, latest fiscal year
Cash-flow accrual ratio
-
(net income − operating cash flow) ÷ average total assets
Balance-sheet accrual ratio

Mean cash conversion

across the stored fiscal years with positive net income

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12 Codification Improvements to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification and to make other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 to amend the guidance in Interim Reporting (Topic 270). The update provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its financial condition or results of operations upon adoption. In December 2025, the F

Pensions and post-retirement benefits · 18,882 characters as filed

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Company has pension and/or other retirement benefit plans covering approximately 20% of active employees. In 2007, the Company amended its U.S. qualified and non-qualified pension plans under which accrual of future benefits was suspended for all participants that did not meet the rule of 70 (age plus years of service equal to at least 70 as of December 31, 2007). Pension benefits are generally based on years of service and compensation during the final years of employment. Plan assets consist primarily of equity securities and corporate and government fixed income securities. Substantially all pension benefit costs are funded as accrued; such funding is limited, where applicable, to amounts deductible for income tax purposes. Certain other retirement benefits are provided by general corporate assets. The Company sponsors a qualified defined contribution plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. Under this plan, effective January 1, 2023, the Company matches 100% of the first 6% of participants contributions. In addition to pension benefits, certain health care and life insurance benefits are provided to qualifying U.S. employees upon retirement from IFF. Such coverage is provided through insurance plans with premiums based on benefits paid. The Company does not generally provide health care or life insurance coverage for retired employees of foreign subsidiaries; such benefits are provided in most foreign countries by government-sponsored plans, a

Segment reporting · 15,573 characters as filed

SEGMENT INFORMATION Effective January 1, 2025, the Company implemented a reorganization of its internal structure, which impacted the way the CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses financial performance. As a result, the Company updated its reportable segments beginning with the first quarter of 2025. Specifically, the former Nourish segment has been separated into two new reportable segments: Taste and Food Ingredients. The Taste segment (formerly the Flavors business within Nourish) includes flavor compounds and natural taste solutions used in food and beverage applications. The Food Ingredients segment (formerly the Ingredients business within Nourish) includes a broad portfolio of natural and plant-based specialty ingredients that provide texturizing and food protection capabilities, as well as soy and pea protein solutions, emulsifiers, and sweeteners. In addition, immaterial business transfers occurred between Food Ingredients and Pharma Solutions, and between Health & Biosciences and Taste. Accordingly, the Companys reportable segments as of January 1, 2025 are: Taste, Food Ingredients, Health & Biosciences, Scent, and Pharma Solutions. The Company also adjusted its corporate cost allocations to align with the new organizational structure and updated operating model, consistent with how management assesses performance effective January 1, 2025.

Based on the results of the impairment testing, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the Food Ingredients reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, and accordingly recognized a goodwill impairment charge of

Income taxes · 3,094 characters as filed

INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 26.8%, which was primarily due to the mix of pre-tax income and losses in different jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 10.1%, which was primarily driven by the tax benefit resulting from the entity realignment project, offset in part by the impact of business divestitures, a goodwill impairment charge that is mostly non-taxable and changes in the mix of earnings post-divestitures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a one-time tax benefit of $361 million was achieved as part of the realignment project which is partially offset by the execution costs to implement. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA permanently extends key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense deduction. Further, the OBBBA makes significant changes to the U.S. international tax framework, most notably the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) regime. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others effective in 2026. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Based on the Companys assessment, the OBBBA is expected to h

Segment reporting · 10,540 characters as filed

SEGMENT INFORMATION Effective January 1, 2025, the Company implemented a reorganization of its internal structure, which impacted the way the CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses financial performance. As a result, the Company updated its reportable segments beginning with the first quarter of 2025. Specifically, the former Nourish segment has been separated into two new reportable segments: Taste and Food Ingredients. The Taste segment (formerly the Flavors business within Nourish) includes flavor compounds and natural taste solutions used in food and beverage applications. The Food Ingredients segment (formerly the Ingredients business within Nourish) includes a broad portfolio of natural and plant-based specialty ingredients that provide texturizing and food protection capabilities, as well as soy and pea protein solutions, emulsifiers, and sweeteners. In addition, immaterial business transfers occurred between Food Ingredients and Pharma Solutions, and between Health & Biosciences and Taste. Accordingly, the Companys reportable segments as of January 1, 2025 are: Taste, Food Ingredients, Health & Biosciences, Scent, and Pharma Solutions. The Company also adjusted its corporate cost allocations to align with the new organizational structure and updated operating model, consistent with how management assesses performance effective January 1, 2025.
