Earnings Release – Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2013
July 25, 2013

Cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter of 2013 was $44.5 million, an increase of 11% from the $40.1 million reported in the second quarter of 2012. For the first six months of 2013 cash provided by operating activities increased 43% to $70.0 million compared to $49.1 million in the first six months of 2012.

Earlier this year, the Company announced that it was initiating a broad and strategic restructuring plan. The plan includes relocating the Flavors & Fragrances Group headquarters to Chicago, consolidating several operating facilities throughout Europe and North America, and reducing the Company’s global headcount. The plan is progressing as scheduled and within the Company’s original cost estimates. The Company has included non-GAAP results to remove the costs related to the restructuring plan and provide investors with a view of operating performance excluding significant and non-recurring items.

“Sensient delivered solid results in the second quarter,” said Kenneth P. Manning, Chairman and CEO of Sensient Technologies Corporation.  “We continue to see opportunities for growth in all of our Groups, and I remain very optimistic about the Company’s future.”

BUSINESS REVIEW

The Color Group reported revenue of $126.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $129.2 million reported in the comparable period last year.  Second quarter operating income increased 4.4% to an all-time quarterly high of $27.7 million from $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. Color Group operating margins increased 140 basis points to 21.9% in the second quarter. Strong performances in digital inks and cosmetics contributed to the record results. Foreign currency translation did not have a significant impact on revenue or operating income in the quarter.
