(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 $178.9 million compared to $177.4 million in last year’s fourth quarter, an increase of 0.8%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 2.7% in the quarter. The Group benefited from pricing across all of its product lines. Segment operating income was $21.5 million in the current quarter compared to $21.9 million reported in the comparable period last year, a decrease of 2.0%. Adjusted local currency operating income decreased 4.1% in the quarter. The lower operating income was primarily due to higher input costs and lower volumes, partially offset by favorable pricing. Foreign currency translation decreased segment revenue by approximately 2% and was not material on segment operating income in the quarter.

The Color Group reported revenue of $147.8 million in the quarter compared to $137.1 million in last year’s fourth quarter, an increase of 7.8%. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 11.9% in the quarter. The Group benefited from higher pricing and higher volumes. Segment operating income was $24.6 million in the quarter compared to $24.1 million in last year’s comparable period, an increase of 2.0%. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 7.8% compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. The higher operating income is primarily a result of the higher volumes and favorable pricing, partially offset by higher input costs. Foreign currency translation decreased segment revenue by approximately 4% and segment operating income by approximately 6% in the quarter.

The Asia Pacific Group reported revenue of $34.6 million in the quarter compared to $35.7 million in last year’s fourth quarter, a decrease of 3.3%, primarily due to foreign currency translation. Adjusted local currency revenue increased 6.4% in the quarter, primarily as a result of higher pricing. Segment operating income was $6.6 million in the quarter compared to $7.2 million in last year’s fourth quarter, a decrease of 7.9%, primarily due to foreign currency translation. Adjusted local currency operating income increased 3.6% in the quarter, primarily as a result of the higher pricing, partially offset by higher input costs. Foreign currency translation decreased segment revenue and operating income by approximately 10% and 12%, respectively, in the quarter.

Corporate & Other reported an operating loss of $11.5 million in the current quarter compared to $12.8 million in last year’s fourth quarter, a decrease of 10.5%. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded $2.5 million of divestiture related income related to an earnout payment received in connection with the divestiture of our yogurt fruit preparations business. The fourth quarter results of 2021 include $0.8 million of divestiture and operational improvement plan costs. Adjusted local currency operating expenses for Corporate & Other increased 16.1% in the quarter primarily due to higher performance-based compensation.

2023 OUTLOOK

Sensient expects 2023 full year GAAP diluted earnings per share to be flat to low-single digit growth compared to our 2022 reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $3.34.

The Company expects 2023 revenue to grow at a mid-single digit rate on a local currency basis compared to the Company’s 2022 revenue. The Company expects 2023 diluted earnings per share to be flat to low-single digit growth on a local currency basis compared to the Company’s 2022 adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) of $3.29. The Company expects 2023 adjusted EBITDA(2) to grow at a mid-to-high single digit rate on a local currency basis compared to the Company’s 2022 adjusted EBITDA(2).

The Company expects its 2023 diluted earnings per share to be impacted by higher interest rates and a higher tax rate. The Company currently expects interest expense to increase by approximately $11 million ($0.20 per diluted share) in 2023 compared to the Company’s 2022 full year interest expense of $14.5 million. The Company also expects its full year 2023 tax rate to be approximately 25%.

Based on current exchange rates, the Company expects foreign exchange rates to be a headwind for the beginning of the year, and modestly favorable for the full year.

The Company’s guidance is based on current conditions and economic and market trends in the markets in which the Company operates and is subject to various risks and uncertainties as described below. We do not anticipate any divestiture related costs, operational improvement plan costs, or results of divested business in 2023 at this time.

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. With respect to Net Debt to Credit Adjusted EBITDA, this represents our leverage ratio as calculated for purposes of compliance with covenants under our Credit Agreement. In addition to use for these purposes, management utilizes this measure to assess leverage trends and may from time to time disclose it to investors to be used for these purposes.
