The Flavors & Extracts Group reported fourth quarter revenue of $189.1 million compared to $169.1 million reported in the comparable period last
year, an increase of 11.8%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 14.0% in the quarter. The higher revenue was primarily the result of continued growth in natural ingredients and flavors, extracts, and flavor ingredients. Segment operating
income was $23.5 million in the current quarter compared to $14.2 million reported in the comparable period last year, an increase of 65.7%. Adjusted local currency operating profit increased 54.9%. The Group’s higher profit was primarily a result
of the higher volumes and the favorable impact of the Group’s cost reduction initiatives, offset by higher raw material costs in natural ingredients. Foreign currency translation increased segment revenue by approximately 1% and had an immaterial
impact on operating income in the quarter.

The Color Group reported revenue of $119.8 million in the quarter compared to $125.4 million in last year’s comparable period, a decrease of 4.4%.
Adjusted local currency revenue increased 1.1% in the quarter. The Group continued to experience growth in food and pharmaceutical colors; however, this growth was offset by lower volumes in the personal care business, primarily as a result of the
continued lower demand for makeup during the COVID-19 pandemic. Segment operating income was $20.5 million in the quarter compared to $19.7 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 4.4%. Adjusted local currency operating income was up
0.5% to prior year. Despite double-digit growth rates in food and pharmaceutical colors profit, the lower volumes in personal care continued to negatively impact the Color Group’s operating income in the quarter. Foreign currency translation
increased segment revenue and operating income by approximately 1% in the quarter.
The Asia Pacific Group reported revenue of $32.2 million in the quarter compared to $30.6 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of
5.1%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 2.8% in the quarter. Segment operating income was $6.0 million in the quarter compared to $5.6 million in last year’s comparable quarter, an increase of 8.8%. Adjusted local currency operating income
increased 7.8% in the quarter. The higher profit was primarily a result of the favorable volume growth. Foreign currency translation increased segment revenue and operating income by approximately 3% and 1%, respectively, in the quarter.
Corporate & Other reported operating costs of $15.3 million in the current quarter compared to $53.9 million in last year’s comparable period. The
lower costs are primarily due to lower divestiture & other costs reported in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the amount recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Cash provided by operating activities was $75.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $49.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, an
increase of 52.9%. Total debt decreased by $34.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2020.
2021 OUTLOOK
Sensient expects 2021 full year GAAP diluted earnings per share to grow at a mid to high single digit growth rate compared to the Company’s 2020
reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.59. Our full year 2021 guidance includes approximately 25 to 30 cents per share of estimated divestiture & other related costs, the results of the operations to be divested, and the operational
improvement plan costs.
The Company expects 2021 adjusted local currency revenue (2) to grow at a low to mid-single digit rate and adjusted local currency EBITDA (2)
to grow at a mid-single digit rate. The Company also expects, on a local currency basis, 2021 adjusted diluted earnings per share (2) to grow at a mid-single digit growth rate compared to the Company’s 2020 adjusted diluted earnings per
share of $2.79.
The Company expects earnings per share reported on a U.S. dollar basis to benefit by approximately ten cents based on current exchange rates.
The Company’s guidance is based upon current trends and the effects of COVID-19 to date. The full impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remain
uncertain and management will continue to monitor its impacts on our business.

statements” within the meaning of Federal securities laws including under “2021 Financial Outlook” in this presentation. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors concerning the Company’s operations and business environment. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements and that could adversely affect the
Company’s future financial performance include the following: the impact and uncertainty created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including, but not limited to, its effects on our employees, facilities, customers, and suppliers, the
availability and cost of raw materials and other supplies, the availability of logistics and transportation, governmental regulations and restrictions and general economic conditions; the pace and nature of new product introductions by the
Company and the Company’s customers; the Company’s ability to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences and changing technologies; the Company’s ability to successfully implement its growth strategies; the outcome of the Company’s
various productivity-improvement and cost-reduction efforts, acquisition and divestiture activities, and operational improvement plan; the effectiveness of the Company’s past restructuring activities; changes in costs of raw materials,
including energy; industry, regulatory, legal, and economic factors related to the Company’s domestic and international business; the effects of tariffs, trade barriers, and disputes; growth in markets for products in which the Company
