(1) Adjusted local currency percentage changes are described in more detail in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Amounts" at the end of this release.

The Flavors & Extracts Group reported fourth quarter revenue of $177.4 million compared to $189.1 million reported in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 6.1%, primarily due to the divestiture of the Fragrances product line in April 2021. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 8.0% in the quarter. The higher adjusted local currency revenue was primarily the result of favorable pricing and volume growth. Segment operating income was $21.9 million in the current quarter compared to $23.5 million reported in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 6.7%, primarily due to the divestiture of the Fragrance product line. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 10.6% in the quarter. The higher adjusted local currency operating income was primarily due to the favorable pricing and higher volumes. Foreign currency translation decreased both segment revenue and operating income by approximately 1% in the quarter.

The Color Group reported revenue of $137.1 million in the quarter compared to $119.8 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 14.4%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 15.8% in the quarter. The Group experienced strong volume growth in both Food & Pharmaceutical Colors and Personal Care. Segment operating income was $24.1 million in the quarter compared to $20.5 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 17.3%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 19.1% compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. The higher operating income is primarily a result of the higher volumes. Foreign currency translation decreased both segment revenue and operating income by approximately 1% in the quarter.

The Asia Pacific Group reported revenue of $35.7 million in the quarter compared to $32.2 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 11.1%.

Segment operating income was $7.2 million in the quarter compared to $6.0 million in last year’s comparable quarter, an increase of 18.9%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 24.9% in the quarter. The higher profit was primarily a result of the favorable volume growth. Foreign currency translation decreased segment revenue and operating income by approximately 4% and 5%, respectively, in the quarter.

Corporate & Other reported operating costs of $12.8 million in the current quarter compared to $15.3 million in last year’s comparable period, a decrease of 16.1%. The lower costs are primarily due to the one-time COVID-19 employee payment in the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted local currency operating expenses for Corporate & Other increased 22.1% in the quarter primarily due to higher performance-based compensation.

2022 OUTLOOK

Sensient expects 2022 full year GAAP diluted earnings per share to grow at a mid-teen growth rate compared to the Company’s 2021 reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.81. Our full year 2022 guidance does not include any material divestiture related costs, operational improvement plan costs, or results of divested businesses.

The Company expects 2022 local currency revenue to grow at a mid-single-digit rate compared to the Company’s 2021 adjusted revenue(2). The Company expects 2022 local currency adjusted EBITDA(2) and local currency diluted earnings per share to grow at a high single-digit rate compared to the Company’s 2021 adjusted EBITDA(2) and the Company’s 2021 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) of $3.13, respectively.

The Company expects earnings per share reported on a U.S. dollar basis to be impacted by approximately ten cents of foreign currency headwinds based on current exchange rates.

The Company’s guidance is based upon current trends, current tax law, 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.

We have included each of these non-GAAP measures in order to provide additional information regarding our underlying operating results and comparable period-over-period performance. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation. Rather, they should be considered together with GAAP measures and the rest of the information included in this release and our SEC filings. Management internally reviews each of these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance on a comparative period-to-period basis and to gain additional insight into underlying operating and performance trends, and we believe the information can be beneficial to investors for the same purposes. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
