Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current assumptions, estimates and expectations, including with respect to the Company’s financial and operational outlook (sales, adjusted operating EBITDA and cash flow), portfolio optimization initiatives (including the anticipated closing date of the sale of the Business), pricing, productivity and cost-discipline actions, capital allocation, future operations, growth potential, strategic investments and the expected effects of foreign exchange. These statements reflect management’s present views, are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the company, are subject to change, and involve uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.\n\nCertain of such forward-looking information may be identified by such terms as “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “outlook”, “may”, “will”, “would”, “estimate”, “should”, “predict”, “plan”, “project”, “could”, “potential”, “seek”, “target”, “continue”, “future”, and similar terms or variations thereof. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could lead to materially different outcomes.\n\nSuch risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the following: (1) demand trends, competitive dynamics and customer concentration in the Company’s end markets; (2) execution of the Company’s strategic transformation and other strategic transactions, divestitures, acquisitions, collaborations and joint ventures; (3) working capital and inventory management; (4) outcomes of legal claims, disputes, regulatory investigations and litigation; (5) tariffs and trade actions, supply chain disruptions and macro events, including geopolitical developments, climate events, natural disasters, public health crises; (6) volatility in input costs (such as raw materials, transportation and energy); (7) attraction, retention and turnover of key employees and executives; (8) product innovation, time-to-market, product safety and quality; (9) cybersecurity incidents, artificial intelligence related risks, data privacy and compliance with data protection laws; (10) exposure to emerging markets, foreign currency fluctuations and international regulatory and political risks; (11) capital allocation, dividend policy and potential impairments of tangible or intangible assets; (12) the Company’s indebtedness, credit rating, liquidity, and access to capital; (13) pension and postretirement obligations; (14) compliance with federal, state, local and international rules and regulations, and regulatory, environmental, anti-corruption and sanctions laws and related ethical business practices; (15) protection and enforcement of intellectual property; (16) changes in tax laws and policies, tax audits and outcomes, including potential tax liabilities related to prior transactions; and (17) changes in federal, state, local and international rules and regulations.\n\nThe foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. Important factors are described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC, and those disclosures are incorporated herein by reference.\n\nThe Company intends its forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time of such statements and does not undertake or plan to update or revise them as more information becomes available or to reflect changes in expectations, assumptions or results, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this press release or included in the Company’s other periodic reports filed with the SEC could materially and adversely impact the Company’s operations and the Company’s future financial results.\n\n \n\n \n\n3\n\nAny public statements or disclosures made by the Company following this communication that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this communication will be deemed to modify or supersede such outlook or other forward-looking statements in or accompanying this communication.\n\n \n\n \n\n4\n\nSIGNATURES\n\nPursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.\n\n \n\nINTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGRANCES INC.\n\nBy:\n \n\n/s/ Stephen Landsman\n\nName:\n \nStephen Landsman\n\nTitle:\n \nExecutive Vice President, General Counsel\n\nDated:\n \nJune 1, 2026\n\n \n\n5"}
