NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These interim statements and management's related discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and their
related notes, and management's discussion and analysis of results of operations
and financial condition included in International Flavors & Fragrances Inc.
("the Company" or "IFF") 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim
statements are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company's management, all normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim periods have been made.
STOCK OPTION PLANS:
The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock plans. No compensation
expense for stock options is reflected in net earnings, as all options granted
under such plans have an exercise price not less than the market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on
net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
for the period presented:

determined under fair value method for all stock option
awards, net of related tax effects 2,896 3,525 7,473 6,639
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pro-forma net income $53,606 $47,873 $105,387 $76,776
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income per share:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic - as reported $0.60 $0.55 $1.20 $0.89
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic - pro-forma $0.57 $0.51 $1.12 $0.82
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diluted - as reported $0.59 $0.54 $1.19 $0.88
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diluted - pro-forma $0.56 $0.50 $1.11 $0.81
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These pro-forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures because
the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense over the
vesting period, and a different number of options may be granted in future
years.
NET INCOME PER SHARE:
Stock options to purchase 872,250 and 887,500 shares were outstanding for the
second quarter and the first six months of 2004, respectively, and 5,041,370 and
4,979,261 shares for the second quarter and first six months of 2003,
respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per
share for the respective periods because the options' exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common shares in the respective
periods.
SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company's reportable segment information, based on geographic region,
follows. The Company evaluates the performance of its geographic regions based
on operating profit, excluding interest expense, other income and expense,
certain unallocated expenses, the effects of restructuring and other charges,
accounting changes, and income tax expense.

RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES:
As described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in October 2000, the
Company announced a significant reorganization, including management changes,
consolidation of production facilities and related actions.
In May 2004, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Frutarom
Industries Ltd. ("Frutarom") for the intended sale of IFF's fruit preparations
businesses in Switzerland and Germany. IFF had previously announced its
intention to divest itself of this business, which manufactures processed fruit
and other natural product preparations used in a wide variety of food products,
including baked goods and dairy products. Sales of fruit preparations in 2003
approximated $90 million. The sale of the German and Swiss fruit preparations
businesses is expected to close in the third quarter. As a result, approximately
170 employees will be severed from the Company and transferred to Frutarom.
IFF also has fruit operations in France representing 30% of the total fruit
preparations business. The Company is currently in the consultation process with
its French employee works council on the potential sale of the French fruit
preparations business to Frutarom.
In June 2004, the Company announced that it would close its Canadian
manufacturing facility by the end of 2004 and transfer production to its South
Brunswick, New Jersey and Carrollton, Texas facilities. As a result, 24
employees will be severed from the Company.
As a result of these actions, the Company recorded $7.7 million ($5.0 million
after tax or $.06 per share) of restructuring and other charges related to the
impairment of certain European fruit preparations assets, and the closure of the
Canadian manufacturing facility. In 2004, the Company anticipates that it will
incur, after consideration of the net sales proceeds, additional costs of Euro
11.0 - 12.0 million ($13.0 - $14.0 million at current exchange rates) with
respect to the disposition of the fruit preparations business and related
actions.
Movements in the liabilities related to the restructuring charges were (in
millions):

--------------------------------------------
Balance December 31, 2003 $19.6 $1.5 $ 21.1

----- ---- -----
Balance June 30, 2004 $10.7 $0.7 $11.4
====== ==== =====
The balance of the employee-related liabilities are expected to be utilized by
2006 as obligations are satisfied and as the final decommissioning and disposal
of the affected equipment occurs.
The Company established accruals relating to the integration of BBA operations.
Costs associated with these integration activities, relating mainly to employee
separation and facility closures, were recorded as a component of purchase
accounting; such costs did not directly impact current earnings.
Movements in acquisition accounting accruals were (in millions):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
OPERATIONS
Worldwide net sales for the second quarter of 2004 totaled $524.2 million,
increasing 9% in comparison to the prior year quarter. Reported sales for the
2004 quarter benefited from the strengthening of various currencies in relation
to the U.S. dollar; had exchange rates remained constant, sales for the second
quarter 2004 would have increased 5% in comparison to the prior year quarter.
Second quarter 2004 sales growth was strong in all geographic regions although
performance in Europe was the result of favorable currency translation. For the
quarter, sales performance by region was as follows:
o North America flavor sales grew 5% while fragrances grew 8%; in total,
sales grew 7%. The flavor sales performance was driven by new wins and
continued strong order activity across the entire customer portfolio.
Functional fragrance and aroma chemical sales increased 6% and 29%,
respectively, while fine fragrance sales declined 1%.
o European sales increased 6% with fragrances increasing 8% and flavors 4%;
reported sales benefited from the strength of the Euro and Pound Sterling.
For the region, local currency sales declined 1%. Flavor compound sales
grew 4% in local currency, although this performance was offset by
persistent weakness in sales of fruit preparations, which declined 20%;
total flavor sales declined 3%. Local currency fragrance sales increased 1%
for the quarter; sales of functional and fine fragrances increased 4% and
11%, respectively, while aroma chemical sales declined 14%. The fine
fragrance performance was driven by a number of new product wins.
o Asia Pacific sales increased 16% with fragrances increasing 11% and flavors
19%; reported sales benefited from the strength of the Yen and the
Australian dollar. Local currency flavor and fragrance sales increased 13%
and 7%, respectively. The strong performance reflects improving economic
conditions in the region and the benefit of significant new wins in both
flavors and fragrances. For the region, local currency sales growth was
strongest in Greater China, Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines, with
respective increases of 29%, 7%, 14% and 24%. Japan sales remained flat in
local currency which, due to the strength of the Yen, resulted in a 9%
increase in reported dollars.
o Latin American sales increased 11% with fragrances increasing 13% and
flavors 5%. Mexico, Argentina, and Central America flavor sales grew 28%,
17% and 40%, respectively. Fragrance sales increased in all product
categories with fine fragrances increasing 12%, functional fragrances 10%
and aroma chemicals 39%.
o India sales increased 13% in local currency and 14% in reported dollars.
Local currency fragrance sales increased 8%, resulting in an 11% increase
in reported dollars; flavor sales increased 17% in local currency,
resulting in an 18% increase in reported dollars. In both flavors and
fragrances, the sales performance reflected the benefit of new product wins
and the continued strength of the Indian economy.
The percentage relationship of cost of goods sold and other operating expenses
to sales for the second quarter 2004 and 2003 are detailed below.
SECOND QUARTER
-----------------
2004 2003
---- ----
Cost of Goods Sold 56.4% 57.0%
Research and Development Expenses 8.5% 8.1%
Selling and Administrative Expenses 15.9% 15.1%
Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from the prior year
period primarily due to improved sales and product mix, and realization of
savings from the 2003 restructuring activities, much of which impacted
manufacturing costs.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses totaled 8.5% of sales compared to 8.1%
in the prior year quarter, consistent with the Company's intended level of R&D
spending. These expenses are expected to approximate 8-8.5% of sales on a full
year basis. Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a
percentage of sales, increased to 15.9% from 15.1%. The SG&A increase resulted
from recognition in the quarter of approximately $1.1 million related to the
cost of
12
restricted stock units for which there was no comparable amount in the 2003
results, and higher expense accruals under the Company's incentive compensation
plans, based on the improved operating performance relative to 2003.
Interest expense declined 23% from the prior year as a result of the Company's
interest rate management and debt reduction initiatives. The weighted average
interest rate on total borrowings during the second quarter 2004 was 2.9%
compared to 3.2% in the 2003 second quarter.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2004 was 31.2% compared to
31.8% for the comparable 2003 quarter. The lower effective tax rate in 2004
reflects differences with respect to tax expense incurred on the restructuring
charges recorded in both periods. Excluding restructuring charges the Company
expects an effective tax rate of 31.5% for 2004.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 sales performance by region was as
follows:
o North America fragrance sales increased 10% while flavor sales increased
11%. Functional fragrance, fine fragrance and chemical sales increased 10%,
4% and 21%, respectively.
o Europe sales declined 1% in local currency, increasing 10% in dollars.
Local currency flavor sales declined 2% resulting in a 9% increase in
reported dollar sales. Flavor compound sales grew 3% in local currency,
although this performance was offset by persistent weakness in sales of
fruit preparations which declined 14%. Fragrance sales were flat in local
currency, resulting in an 11% increase in reported dollar sales. Fine
fragrance and functional fragrance local currency sales increased 6% and
4%, respectively, while aroma chemical sales declined 12%.
o Local currency sales in Asia Pacific increased 9% resulting in a 16%
increase in reported dollar sales. Local currency fragrance sales increased
7% resulting in a 12% increase in reported dollars; local currency flavor
sales increased 10% and 18% in reported dollars. This strong performance
reflects improving economic conditions in the region and the benefit of
significant new wins in both fragrances and flavors. For the region, sales
growth was strongest in Australia, Greater China, Indonesia, and Thailand,
with respective local currency increases of 6%, 22%, 8% and 11%,
respectively.
o Latin America sales increased 10% in comparison to the prior year. Flavor
sales increased 7%, benefiting from increases of 44% and 19% in Central
America and Mexico, respectively, reflecting new wins and improved economic
conditions. Fragrance sales increased 11% with Central America, Mexico and
Brazil increasing 20%, 7% and 7%, respectively; Argentina fragrance sales
increased 31% for the period.
o India sales increased 21% in local currency and 24% in reported dollars.
This performance was led by a 26% local currency increase in flavor sales
with fragrance sales increasing 16% in comparison to the prior year period.
In both flavors and fragrances, the sales performance reflected the benefit
of both new product wins and the continued strength of the Indian economy.
The percentage relationship of cost of goods sold and other operating expenses
to sales for the first six months 2004 and 2003 are detailed below.
FIRST SIX MONTHS
----------------
2004 2003
---- ----
Cost of Goods Sold 56.9% 57.5%
Research and Development Expenses 8.4% 8.2%
Selling and Administrative Expenses 16.3% 15.7%
Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from the prior year
primarily due to improved sales performance and product mix and realization of
savings from the 2003 restructuring activities, much of which impacted
manufacturing costs.
R&D expenses totaled 8.4% of sales compared to 8.2% in the prior year period,
consistent with the Company's intended level of R&D spending. SG&A expenses, as
a percentage of sales, increased to 16.3% from 15.7%. The SG&A increase in the
six month period resulted from recognition of approximately $1.1 million related
to the cost of restricted stock units for which there was no comparable amount
in the 2003 results, and higher expense accruals under the Company's incentive
compensation plans, based on the improved operating performance relative to
2003.
13
Interest expense declined 22% from the prior year as a result of the Company's
interest rate management and debt reduction initiatives. The weighted average
interest rate on total borrowings during the first six months of 2004 was 2.8%
compared to 3.3% for the first six months of 2003.
The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2004 was 31.3% compared to
31.6% for the first six months of 2003. The lower effective tax rate in 2004
reflects differences with respect to tax expense incurred on the restructuring
charges recorded in both periods. Excluding restructuring charges the Company
expects an effective tax rate of 31.5% for 2004.
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
As described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in October 2000, the
Company announced a significant reorganization, including management changes,
consolidation of production facilities and related actions.
In May 2004, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Frutarom
Industries Ltd. ("Frutarom") for the intended sale of IFF's fruit preparations
businesses in Switzerland and Germany. IFF had previously announced its
intention to divest itself of this business, which manufactures processed fruit
and other natural product preparations used in a wide variety of food products,
including baked goods and dairy products. Sales of fruit preparations in 2003
approximated $90 million. The sale of the German and Swiss fruit preparations
businesses is expected to close in the third quarter. As a result, approximately
170 employees will be severed from the Company and transferred to Frutarom.
IFF also has fruit operations in France representing 30% of the total fruit
preparations business. The Company is currently in the consultation process with
its French employee works council on the potential sale of the French fruit
preparations business to Frutarom.
In June 2004, the Company announced that it would close its Canadian
manufacturing facility by the end of 2004 and transfer production to its South
Brunswick, New Jersey and Carrollton, Texas facilities. As a result, 24
employees will be severed from the Company.
As a result of these actions, the Company recorded $7.7 million ($5.0 million
after tax or $.06 per share) of restructuring and other charges related to the
impairment of certain European fruit preparations assets, and the closure of the
Canadian manufacturing facility. In 2004, the Company anticipates that it will
incur, after consideration of the net sales proceeds, additional costs of Euro
11.0 - 12.0 million ($13.0 - $14.0 million at current exchange rates) with
respect to the disposition of the fruit preparations business and related
actions.
Movements in the liabilities related to the restructuring charges were (in

of the affected equipment occurs.
The Company established accruals relating to the integration of BBA operations.
Costs associated with these integration activities, relating mainly to employee
separation and facility closures, were recorded as a component of purchase
accounting; such costs did not directly impact current earnings.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $11.7 million at June
30, 2004. Working capital, at June 30, 2004 was $455.0 million compared to
$376.6 million at December 31, 2003. The working capital increase is directly
attributable to an increase in receivables in 2004 resulting from the Company's
strong sales performance. Gross additions to property, plant and equipment
during the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2004 were $14.4
million and $26.7 million, respectively. The Company expects additions to
property, plant and equipment to approximate $80.0 to $85.0 million for the full
year 2004.
At June 30, 2004, the Company's outstanding commercial paper had an average
interest rate of 1.4%. Commercial paper maturities did not extend beyond July
22, 2004. Bank loans and the current portion of long-term debt is $33.9 million
at June 30, 2004. The Company reduced debt $33.2 million in the second quarter
and $38.6 million in the first half of 2004. The Company anticipates that debt
reduction will approximate $100.0 million for the full year 2004.
In January and April 2004, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.16
per share to shareholders. In May, the Board of Directors increased the dividend
to $.175 per share effective with the July payment. This increase of 9.4%
represents a payout of approximately 30-35% of forecast earnings consistent with
the Company's long-term dividend payout plan.
Under the share repurchase program authorized in October 2002 the Company
repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares and 0.8 million shares in the
three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2004, the Company
had $15.0 million remaining under the October 2002 repurchase plan. In July
2004, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program
of $100.0 million (approximately 2.8 million shares at the current market
price); this program is expected to be completed over the next 18 to 24 months.
Repurchases will be made from time to time on the open market or through private
transactions as market and business conditions warrant. The repurchased shares
will be available for use in connection with the Company's employee benefit
plans and for other general corporate purposes.
The Company anticipates that its financing requirements will be funded from
internal sources and credit facilities currently in place. Cash flows from
operations are sufficient to fund the Company's anticipated normal capital
spending, dividends and other requirements including debt reduction for at least
the next twelve to eighteen months.
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company granted restricted stock units ("RSU's") in May 2004 as an element
of its incentive compensation plans for all eligible U.S. - based employees and
a majority of eligible overseas employees. Vesting of the RSU's for the
Company's senior management will be performance and time based, and for the
remainder of eligible employees, vesting will be time based; the vesting period
will be three years from date of grant. As a result of these awards, the Company
expects to record approximately $4.5 million to $6.0 million in pre-tax
compensation expense during 2004; the actual expense will depend upon the value
of the Company's stock.
15
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The discussion of the Company's 2004 second quarter and six-month results
exclude the impact of certain restructuring and other charges recorded in 2004
and 2003 related to the Company's reorganization plan as well as the effects of
exchange rate fluctuations. Such information is supplemental to information
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. In
discussing its historical and expected future results and financial condition,
the Company believes it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of and to
be assisted in a better understanding of, on a period-to-period comparative
basis, the relative impact of the 2004 and 2003 restructuring and other charges
as well as ongoing exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's operating results
and financial condition. In addition, management reviews this non-GAAP financial
performance measure to evaluate performance on a comparative period-to-period
basis in terms of absolute performance and trend performance.

16
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions in the
ordinary course of its business.
On January 15, 2004, the Circuit Court of Jasper County, Missouri
denied class action status to a purported class action brought against the
Company on behalf of certain former and current workers at a plant owned and
operated by Gilster-Mary Lee Corp. in Jasper, Missouri. See the Company's 2003
Annual Report on Form 10-K under "Legal Proceedings." The plaintiffs in that
action are alleging that they sustained respiratory injuries in the workplace
due to the use by Gilster-Mary Lee Corp of an IFF and BBA flavor. As a result of
this decision, each of the 30 plaintiff cases is to be tried separately. The
Company appealed a March 15, 2004 jury verdict in favor of one of the plaintiffs
awarding approximately $20 million in compensatory damages. The Company believes
that the verdict is not supported by the evidence or law. On April 30, 2004 a
second case was settled for an amount agreed by the parties to be held
confidential, on June 28, 2004 the trial court found in favor of the Company in
four additional plaintiff's cases, and on July 21, 2004 another case was
resolved through a confidential settlement.
Six other actions based on similar claims of respiratory illness are
currently pending against the Company and other flavor suppliers. The parties
are in the discovery phase in the action brought against the Company and another
flavor supplier by 20 former and current workers at a popcorn factory in Marion,
Ohio. In May 2004, the Company and another flavor supplier were named defendants
in a lawsuit by 4 former workers at a Ridgeway, Illinois factory in an action
brought in the Circuit Court for the Second Judicial Circuit, Gallatin County,
Illinois and another concerning 11 other workers at this same plant was filed in
July 2004 in Cook County, Illinois against the Company and another flavor
supplier. In June 2004, the Company and 3 other flavor suppliers were named
defendants in a lawsuit by 1 current worker at a Sioux City, Iowa facility in an
action brought in the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County. In July 2004, the
Company and 3 other flavor suppliers were named defendants in a lawsuit by a
former worker at a Northlake, Illinois facility in an action brought in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. In July 2004, the Company, 4 other
flavor suppliers and other unnamed parties were named defendants in a lawsuit by
1 former worker at an Iowa City, Iowa facility in an action filed in U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. While the Company has not been
served with a complaint, it has received information concerning an additional
action based on similar claims of respiratory illness by 1 plaintiff in Hamilton
County, Ohio against the Company, 5 other flavor suppliers and other unnamed
defendants.
The Company believes that all IFF and BBA flavors at issue in these
matters meet the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are
safe for handling and use by workers in food manufacturing plants when used
according to specified safety procedures. These procedures are detailed in
instructions that IFF and BBA provide to all its customers for the safe handling
and use of its flavors. It is the responsibility of IFF's customers to ensure
that these instructions, which include the use of appropriate engineering
controls, such as adequate ventilation, proper handling procedures and
respiratory protection for workers, are followed in the workplace.
While the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty,
in light of the merits of its defenses and the availability of insurance, the
Company does not expect the outcome of the above cases, singly or in the
aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition, results of operation or liquidity.
