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.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer 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.

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.

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.

Segment reporting · 10,022 characters as filed
SEGMENT INFORMATION The Companys reportable segments are: Taste, Health & Biosciences, and Scent. Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, the Company determined that the held for sale and discontinued operations criteria were met for the entirety of the Food Ingredients segment, after certain perimeter adjustments, and classified its results as discontinued operations for the periods presented. Accordingly, the Food Ingredients segment results have been excluded from the segment information herein. Prior to the sale of the Pharma Solutions disposal group in the second quarter of 2025, Pharma Solutions was also a reportable segment. The Companys CODM evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on its Adjusted Operating EBITDA, which is defined as Income from continuing operations before taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, restructuring and other charges and certain items that are not related to recurring operations. Certain corporate costs previously allocated to the Food Ingredients business for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to the Companys three remaining segments. The Companys CODM uses Adjusted Operating EBITDA to evaluate segment performance in deciding whether to reinvest resources into the segment or into other parts of the entity. Budget versus actual results of Adjusted Operating EBITDA are used in assessing performance of the segm …
