Reported operating income decreased 3.7% to $49.7 million compared to $51.6 million recorded in the second quarter of 2023.

Reported diluted earnings per share decreased 9.9% to 73 cents in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 81 cents in the second quarter of 2023. Local currency adjusted EPS(1) decreased 2.5% in the second quarter primarily as a result of higher interest expense and a higher tax rate.

The Flavors & Extracts Group reported second quarter 2024 revenue of $209.2 million, an increase of $20.9 million versus the prior year’s second quarter.

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.

The Company has included each of these non-GAAP measures in order to provide additional information regarding our underlying operating results and comparable year-over-year performance.
