NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Registrant," "IFF," "the Company," "we," "us" and "our") is a leading creator and manufacturer of food, beverage, health & biosciences, scent and pharma solutions and complementary adjacent products, including cosmetic active and natural health ingredients, which are used in a wide variety of consumer products. Our products are sold principally to manufacturers of perfumes and cosmetics, hair and other personal care products, soaps and detergents, cleaning products, dairy, meat and other processed foods, beverages, snacks and savory foods, sweet and baked goods, sweeteners, dietary supplements, food protection, infant and elderly nutrition, functional food, and pharmaceutical excipients and oral care products.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2021 Form 10-K").
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, if not materially different from the 2021 Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q was derived from the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim Consolidated Financial Statements, have been made.
On February 1, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), the Company completed the combination (the "Merger") of IFF and DuPont de Nemours, Inc ("DuPont") nutrition and biosciences business (the "N&B Business"), which had been transferred to Nutrition and Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont ("N&B") in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. See Note 3 for additional information. As a result, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflect the results of N&B for the full three and six months in the period ended June 30, 2022, respectively, whereas the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 reflect three and five months of results of N&B in the period ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Reporting Periods
The Company uses a calendar year of the twelve-month period from January 1 to December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The inputs into our judgments and estimates take into account the current economic implications of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the impairment of assets arising from the recent events in Russia and Ukraine on our critical and significant accounting estimates, including estimates associated with future cash flows that are used in assessing the risk of impairment of certain long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

Table of Contents
Accounts Receivable
The Company has various factoring agreements in the U.S. and The Netherlands under which it can factor up to approximately $250 million in receivables. In addition, the Company has factoring agreements sponsored by certain customers. Under all of the arrangements, the Company sells the receivables on a non-recourse basis to unrelated financial institutions and accounts for the transactions as a sale of receivables. The applicable receivables are removed from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets when the cash proceeds are received by the Company.
The impact on cash flows from operating activities from participating in these programs was a decrease of approximately $59 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and an increase of approximately $46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The cost of participating in these programs was approximately $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Sales, value added, and other taxes the Company collects are excluded from revenues. The Company receives payment in accordance with standard customer terms. See Note 11 for further details on revenues disaggregated by segment.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
With respect to a small number of contracts for the sale of compounds, the Company has an "enforceable right to payment for performance to date" and as the products do not have an alternative use, the Company recognizes revenue for these contracts over time and records a contract asset using the output method. The output method recognizes revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's gross accounts receivable was $2.244 billion and $1.952 billion, respectively. The Company's contract assets and contract liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were not material.
Expected Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its sales of products. To determine the appropriate allowance for expected credit losses, the Company considers certain credit quality indicators, such as aging, collection history, and creditworthiness of debtors. Regional and Global Credit committees review and approve specific customer allowance reserves. The allowance for expected credit losses is primarily based on two primary factors: i) the aging of the different categories of trade receivables, and ii) a specific reserve for accounts identified as uncollectible.
The Company also considers current and future economic conditions in the determination of the allowance. At June 30, 2022, the Company reported $2.180 billion of trade receivables, net of allowances of $64 million. Based on the aging analysis as of June 30, 2022, approximately 91% of the Company's accounts receivable were current based on the payment terms of the invoice. Receivables that were past due by over 365 days account for approximately 1% of the Company's accounts receivable.
The following is a rollforward of the Company's allowances for bad debts for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

The Company will continue to evaluate its credit exposure related to Russia and Ukraine.

Table of Contents
Long-Lived Assets
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, principally over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and improvements, 1 to 50 years; machinery and equipment, 1 to 40 years; information technology hardware and software, 1 to 23 years; and leasehold improvements which are included in buildings and improvements, the estimated life of the improvements or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets include customer relationships, patents, trade names, technological know-how and other intellectual property valued at acquisition and amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: customer relationships, 10 to 27 years; patents, 11 to 15 years; trade names, 4 to 28 years; and technological know-how, 5 to 28 years.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in business conditions indicate that their carrying value may not be recovered. An estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by an asset or group of assets is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If assets are determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on an estimate of fair value using various valuation techniques, including a discounted estimate of future cash flows.
Recent Events in Russia and Ukraine
The Company maintains operations in both Russia and Ukraine and, additionally, exports products to customers in Russia and Ukraine from operations outside the region. In response to the events in Ukraine, the Company has limited the production and supply of ingredients in and to Russia to only those that meet the essential needs of people, including food, hygiene and medicine.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
During the second quarter of 2022, the sales and margins declined for certain entities within Russia due to supply chain issues, reduced product demand and exchange rate volatility. Further, it was determined that such declines in operating performance were not expected to reverse in the near future. Additionally, future expected growth is expected to be limited given operating conditions in Russia, which inhibit the required future investment.
In connection with uncertainties related to the Company's operations in Russia and Ukraine, the Company updated its analysis of the undiscounted cash flows of the applicable asset groups to determine if the cash flows exceeded the carrying values of the applicable asset groups. With respect to an asset group in the Nourish segment, that manufactures and sells in Russia and related markets, it was determined that the undiscounted cash flows were insufficient to cover the carrying value and that an impairment charge was required to write-down the long-lived assets to their fair values. The fair value of such asset group was determined based on a discounted cash flow approach which involved estimating the future cash flows for the business discount to their present values. The discount rate used in the determination of such fair value was based on consideration of the risks inherent in the cash flows and market as of the valuation date.
As a result of this assessment, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $120 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive (Loss) Income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which was allocated pro rata to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment within the asset group in the amounts of approximately $92 million and $28 million, respectively.
Allowances for Bad Debts
As indicated above, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company also recorded a charge of approximately $11 million related to expected credit losses on receivables from customers located in Russia and Ukraine (for export and domestic sales) due to recent events in those countries. The Company will continue to evaluate its credit exposure related to Russia and Ukraine.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance." The ASU requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. This guidance is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." The ASU is intended to provide specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. An acquirer needs to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 during the second quarter of 2022. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." The ASU is intended to provide updates and responses to concerns over Topic 848 related to the cessation of reference rates in certain financial markets. Alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based have been identified and are being transitioned to in numerous jurisdictions globally, such as a receive-variable-rate, pay-variable-rate cross currency interest rate swap. This guidance is effective immediately for all entities, but does not apply to any contract modifications or new hedging relationships entered into after December 31, 2022. This guidance was adopted and did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

_______________________
(1)On September 15, 2021, additional shares of IFF's common stock were issued in settlement of the stock purchase contract ("SPC") portion of the tangible equity units ("TEUs"). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the TEUs were assumed to be outstanding at the minimum settlement amount for basic earnings per share ("EPS"). See below for additional information.
(2)Effect of dilutive securities includes dilution under stock plans and incremental impact of TEUs. See below for additional information.
As of the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of N&B (except for shares of common stock of N&B held by N&B as treasury stock or by DuPont, which were canceled and ceased to exist and no consideration was delivered in exchange therefor) was converted into the right to receive one share of common stock of IFF. The Merger was completed in exchange for 141,740,461 shares of IFF common stock, par value $0.125 per share (or cash payment in lieu of fractional shares), which had been approved in the special shareholder meeting that occurred on August 27, 2020 where IFF shareholders voted to approve the issuance of shares of IFF common stock in connection with the N&B Transaction, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The shares issued in the Merger represented approximately 55.4% of the common stock of IFF on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the Merger, as of February 1, 2021.

Table of Contents
The Company declared a quarterly dividend to its shareholders of $0.79 and $0.77 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company declared quarterly dividends to its shareholders totaling $1.58 and $1.54, respectively.
There were no stock options or stock-settled appreciation rights ("SSARs") excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and three months ended June 30, 2021.
There were approximately one million potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2021 because there was a net loss attributable to IFF for the period and, as such, the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.
The Company issued 16,500,000 TEUs, consisting of a prepaid SPC and a senior amortizing note, for net proceeds of $800 million on September 17, 2018. On September 14, 2021, the Company notified holders of the TEUs that the final settlement rate in respect of each SPC was 0.330911 shares of IFF's common stock. On September 15, 2021, 5,460,031 shares of IFF's common stock were issued in settlement of the SPCs. The SPC conversion factor is based on the 20 day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") per share of the Company's common stock. For purposes of calculating basic net income (loss) per share, the minimum settlement rate of 0.313400 shares per SPC on June 30, 2021 was used. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the SPCs were assumed to be settled at a conversion factor not to exceed 0.341100 shares per SPC on June 30, 2021.
The Company has issued shares of purchased restricted common stock units ("PRSUs") which contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends while these shares are outstanding and thus are considered participating securities. Such securities are required to be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
The Company did not present the two-class method since there was no difference between basic net income (loss) per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The difference between diluted net income per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and three months ended June 30, 2021 was less than $0.01 per share and there was no difference between diluted net income (loss) per share for both unrestricted common shareholders and PRSU shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the number of PRSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was not material. Net income allocated to such PRSUs was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and three months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss allocated to such PRSUs was not material for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Health Wright Products
On April 1, 2022 ("Acquisition Date"), the Company completed its acquisition of Health Wright Products, Inc. ("Health Wright"). IFF acquired 100% of the equity of Health Wright pursuant to a purchase agreement entered into on February 16, 2022. Health Wright is known in the consumer Health and Nutrition industries for providing high quality nutritional supplements. The acquisition was made in order to strengthen formulation and finished format capabilities to IFF's Health & Biosciences probiotics, natural extracts and botanical businesses.
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. The fair value of consideration transferred was approximately $157 million, including cash and estimated contingent consideration of $31 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation has been performed and resulted in intangible assets of approximately $75 million, and approximately $45 million of goodwill (which is deductible for tax purposes). The intangible assets primarily consisted of customer relationships of approximately $74 million that have been fair valued using the Multi-Period Excess Earning Method and which are being amortized over a period of approximately 19 years. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is expected to be completed within the measurement period.
No pro forma information for 2022 was presented as the acquisition was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transaction with N&B
On February 1, 2021, IFF completed the Merger with N&B. The aggregate purchase price consideration paid to acquire N&B was $15.942 billion. Refer to Note 3 of the Company's 2021 Form 10-K for additional information.

The Commercial Paper Program is backed by the borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The effective interest rate of commercial paper issuances does not materially differ from short-term interest rates, which fluctuate due to market conditions and as a result may impact our interest expense.
Amended Revolving Credit Facility
In 2022, the Company had borrowings of $350 million, classified as short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, under the $2.000 billion Amended Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility in the 2021 period.

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $123 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded in Other liabilities and no amounts recorded to Other current liabilities. If these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of approximately $38 million classified in Other liabilities and no amounts classified in Other current liabilities.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company's aggregate provisions for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, was approximately $161 million associated with tax positions asserted in various jurisdictions.
The Company regularly repatriates earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries. As the Company repatriates these funds to the U.S., they will be required to pay income taxes in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes during the period when such repatriation occurs. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had a deferred tax liability of approximately $92 million for the effect of repatriating the funds to the U.S., attributable to various non-U.S. subsidiaries. There is no deferred tax liability associated with non-U.S. subsidiaries where we intend to indefinitely reinvest the earnings to fund local operations and/or capital projects.
The Company has ongoing income tax audits and legal proceedings which are at various stages of administrative or judicial review. In addition, the Company has open tax years with various taxing jurisdictions that range primarily from 2012 to 2021. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe the outcome of any of these tax audits and other tax positions related to open tax years, when finalized, will have a material impact on its results of operations.
The Company also has other ongoing tax audits and legal proceedings that relate to indirect taxes, such as value-added taxes, sales and use taxes and property taxes, which are discussed in Note 15.

Table of Contents
Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 16.2% compared to 31.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the release of uncertain tax positions in connection to an audit settlement, a favorable mix of earnings and the impact of a one-time non-cash United Kingdom rate change from the prior year period.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 14.5% compared to 0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the release of uncertain tax positions in connection to an audit settlement, changes in the mix of earnings and a one-time benefit to record a receivable associated with the proceedings of a bi-lateral advance pricing agreement, partially offset by the impact of a one-time non-cash United Kingdom rate change from the prior year period.

NOTE 10. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company has various plans under which its officers, senior management, other key employees and directors may be granted equity-based awards. Equity awards outstanding under the plans include PRSUs, RSUs, SSARs and Long-Term Incentive Plan awards. Liability-based awards outstanding under the plans are cash-settled RSUs.
Stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefits were as follows:

NOTE 13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identicalinstruments in active markets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similarinstruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company determines the fair value of structured liabilities (where performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks) using the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") swap curve and forward interest and exchange rates at period end. Such instruments are classified as Level 2 based on the observability of significant inputs to the model. The Company does not have any instruments classified as Level 3, other than those included in pension asset trusts as discussed in Note 15 of the Company's 2021 Form 10-K.
These valuations take into consideration the Company's credit risk and its counterparties' credit risk. The estimated change in the fair value of these instruments due to such changes in its own credit risk (or instrument-specific credit risk) was not material as of June 30, 2022.

(1)The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
(2)The fair value of the Notes is based on market quoted price as there is an active market for the Notes and observable market data and inputs.
(3)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the interest rate is reset frequently based on current market rates as well as the short maturity of those instruments.
(4)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the instruments are marked-to-market and held at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(5)The fair value of the Company's long-term debt was calculated using discounted cash flows applying current interest rates and current credit spreads based on its own credit risk.
(6)The carrying amount approximates fair value as the Term Loans were assumed at fair value and the interest rate is reset frequently based on current market rates.
Derivatives
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts with the objective of reducing exposure to cash flow volatility associated with its intercompany loans, foreign currency receivables and payables and anticipated purchases of certain raw materials used in operations. These contracts generally involve the exchange of one currency for a second currency at a future date, have maturities not exceeding twelve months and are with counterparties which are major international financial institutions.
Commodity Contracts
The Company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as soybeans, soybean oil and soybean meal.
22
Table of Contents
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company maintains several forward currency contracts which qualified as cash flow hedges. The objective of these hedges is to protect against the currency risk associated with forecasted U.S. dollar ("USD") denominated raw material purchases made by Euro ("EUR") functional currency entities which result from changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI") as a component of Gains on derivatives qualifying as hedges in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Realized gains/(losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") related to cash flow hedges of raw material purchases are recognized as a component of Cost of goods sold in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive (Loss) Income in the same period as the related costs are recognized.
Hedges Related to Issuances of Debt
As of June 30, 2022, the Company designated approximately $1.363 billion of Euro Notes as a hedge of a portion of its net European investments. Accordingly, the change in the value of the debt that is attributable to foreign exchange movements is recorded in OCI as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
Cross Currency Swaps
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered into twelve EUR/USD cross currency swaps, with a notional value of $1.400 billion that mature through November 2030. The swaps all qualified as net investment hedges in order to mitigate a portion of the Company's net European investments from foreign currency risk. As of June 30, 2022, the fourteen remaining swaps were in a net asset position with an aggregate fair value of $57 million, which were classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on their respective maturity dates. Changes in fair value related to cross currency swaps are recorded in OCI.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees and Letters of Credit
The Company has various bank guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds which are used to support its ongoing business operations, satisfy governmental requirements associated with pending litigation in various jurisdictions and the payment of customs duties.
26
Table of Contents
At June 30, 2022, the Company had total bank guarantees, commercial guarantees, standby letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $415 million with various financial institutions. Included in the above aggregate amount was a total of $14 million for other assessments in Brazil for various income tax and indirect tax disputes related to fiscal years 1998-2011. There was a total of approximately $25 million outstanding under the bank guarantees and standby letters of credit and approximately $103 million outstanding under the commercial guarantees as of June 30, 2022.
In order to challenge the assessments in these cases in Brazil, the Company has been required to, and has separately pledged assets, principally property, plant and equipment, to cover assessments in the amount of approximately $8 million as of June 30, 2022.
Lines of Credit
The Company has various lines of credit which are available to support its ongoing business operations. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had available lines of credit of approximately $1.863 billion with various financial institutions, in addition to the $317 million of capacity under the Credit Facility. There were total draw downs of approximately $1.153 billion pursuant to these lines of credit as of June 30, 2022, including approximately $792 million related to the issuance of commercial paper and $350 million related to borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.
Litigation
The Company assesses contingencies related to litigation and/or other matters to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss. A loss contingency is accrued in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly sensitive and requires judgments about future events. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company reviews contingencies related to litigation to determine the adequacy of accruals. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates and further events may require the Company to increase or decrease the amounts it has accrued on any matter.
Periodically, the Company assesses its insurance coverage for all known claims, where applicable, taking into account aggregate coverage by occurrence, limits of coverage, self-insured retentions and deductibles, historical claims experience and claims experience with its insurance carriers. The liabilities are recorded at management's best estimate of the probable outcome of the lawsuits and claims, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the individual matters as well as past experience on similar matters. At each balance sheet date, the key issues that management assesses are whether it is probable that a loss as to asserted or unasserted claims has been incurred and if so, whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company records the expected liability with respect to claims in Other liabilities and expected recoveries from its insurance carriers in Other assets. The Company recognizes a receivable when it believes that realization of the insurance receivable is probable under the terms of the insurance policies and its payment experience to date.
Litigation Matters
On August 12, 2019, Marc Jansen filed a putative securities class action against IFF, its Chairman and CEO, and its then-CFO, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit was filed after IFF disclosed that preliminary results of investigations indicated that Frutarom businesses operating principally in Russia and Ukraine had made improper payments to representatives of customers. On March 16, 2020, an amended complaint was filed, which added Frutarom and certain former officers of Frutarom as defendants. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants made materially false and misleading statements or omissions concerning IFF's acquisition of Frutarom, the integration of the two companies, and the companies' financial reporting and results. The amended complaint asserts claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, and under the Israeli Securities Act-1968, against all defendants, and under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the individual defendants, on behalf of a putative class of persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired IFF securities on the New York Stock Exchange between May 7, 2018 and August 12, 2019 and persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired IFF securities on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange between October 9, 2018 and August 12, 2019. The amended complaint seeks an award of unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and expenses. IFF, its officers, and Frutarom filed a motion to dismiss the case on June 26, 2020, which was granted on March 30, 2021. On April 28, 2021, lead plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Lead plaintiffs are pursuing the appeal only against Frutarom and certain former officers of Frutarom. The parties have submitted their briefs to the Court of Appeals. The Second Circuit held oral argument on February 10, 2022, and the Court has not yet ruled.
27
Table of Contents
Two motions to approve securities class actions were filed in the Tel Aviv District Court, Israel, in August 2019, similarly alleging, among other things, false and misleading statements largely in connection with IFF's acquisition of Frutarom and the above-mentioned improper payments. One motion ("Borg") asserts claims under the U.S. federal securities laws against IFF, its Chairman and CEO, and its former CFO. On November 8, 2020, IFF and its officers filed their response to the Borg motion. On April 20, 2021, Mr. Borg filed a motion to stay the proceeding pending an appellate decision in the U.S. proceeding. On June 15, 2021, August 11, 2021, November 9, 2021, January 9, 2022, April 7, 2022 and July 10, 2022, the U.S. lead plaintiffs filed update notices with the Israeli court regarding the appeal in the U.S. proceeding. The other motion ("Oman") (following an initial amendment) asserted claims under the Israeli Securities Act-1968 against IFF, its former Chairman and CEO, and its former CFO, and against Frutarom and certain former Frutarom officers and directors, as well as claims under the Israeli Companies Act-1999 against certain former Frutarom officers and directors. On February 17, 2021, the court granted a motion by the Oman plaintiff to remove IFF and its officers from the motion and to add factual allegations from the US amended complaint. The amended Oman motion was filed on July 4, 2021. On August 29, 2021, the former Frutarom officers and certain former Frutarom directors filed a motion to dismiss the case. On September 30, 2021, Frutarom notified the court that it joins the legal arguments made in the motion to dismiss. On February 22, 2022, the court denied the motion to dismiss. On July 14, 2022, the court approved the parties' motion to mediate the dispute, which postpones all case deadlines until after the mediation.
On October 29, 2019, IFF and Frutarom filed a claim in the Tel Aviv District Court, Israel, against Ori Yehudai, the former President and CEO of Frutarom, and against certain former directors of Frutarom, challenging the bonus of US $20 million granted to Yehudai in 2018. IFF and Frutarom allege, among other things, that Yehudai was not entitled to receive the bonus because he breached his fiduciary duty by, among other things, knowing of the above-mentioned improper payments and failing to prevent them from being made. The parties agreed, pursuant to the court's recommendation, to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation, and a court decision is pending with regard to the order in which this claim and the class action described below will be heard.
On March 11, 2020, an IFF shareholder filed a motion to approve a class action in Israel against, among others, Frutarom, Yehudai, and Frutarom's former board of directors, alleging that former minority shareholders of Frutarom were harmed as a result of the US $20 million bonus paid to Yehudai. The parties to this motion agreed to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation to take place regarding the aforesaid claim against Yehudai. On July 27, 2021, counsel to the movant in the class action filed a notice with the court that the mediation process ended without an agreement. On August 26, 2021, a motion to dismiss the class action application was filed by Yehudai and certain former directors of Frutarom. On September 9, 2021, an additional motion to dismiss was filed by other former directors of Frutarom together with ICC Industries, Inc. and its affiliates. On December 9, 2021, the court denied the motions to dismiss. Responses to the class action motion were filed in May 2022.
Investigation
On June 3, 2020, the Israel Police's National Fraud Investigation Unit and the Israeli Securities Authority commenced an investigation into Frutarom and certain of its former executives, based on suspected bribery of foreign officials, money laundering, and violations of the Israeli Securities Act-1968. As part of the investigation, the National Fraud Investigation Unit and the Israeli Securities Authority have provided IFF and Frutarom with various orders, mainly requesting that IFF and Frutarom provide certain documents and materials. In addition, a seizure of assets was imposed on Frutarom and certain of its affiliates. IFF has been working to ensure compliance with such orders, all in accordance with, and subject to, Israeli law. On August 25, 2021, the Israeli Police informed Frutarom that they have decided to remove the temporary criminal seizure of assets order from the real estate assets of Frutarom and its related companies, which was done in parallel with the transfer of the case to the District Attorney's Office in Israel.
China Facilities
Guangzhou Taste Plant
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company was notified that certain governmental authorities have begun to evaluate a change in the zoning of the Guangzhou Taste plant. The zoning, if changed, would prevent the Company from continuing to manufacture product at the existing plant. The ultimate outcome of any change that the governmental authorities may propose, the timing of such a change, and the nature of any compensation arrangements that might be provided to the Company are uncertain. To address the governmental authorities' requirements, the Company has been transferring certain production capabilities from the Guangzhou Taste plant to a newly built facility in Zhangjiagang.
The net book value of the Guangzhou Taste plant was approximately $55 million as of June 30, 2022.

Table of Contents
Guangzhou Scent Plant
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company was notified that certain governmental authorities had changed the zoning where the Guangzhou Scent plant is located. The zoning change did not affect the current operations but prevents expansions or other increases in the operating capacity of the plant. The Company believes that it is possible that the zoning may be enforced in the future such that it would not be able to continue manufacturing at the existing site. The ultimate outcome of any change that the governmental authorities may propose, the timing of such a change, and the nature of any compensation arrangements that might be provided to the Company are uncertain.
The net book value of the Guangzhou Scent plant was approximately $8 million as of June 30, 2022.
Zhejiang Ingredients Plant
In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company concluded discussions with the government regarding the relocation of its Fragrance Ingredients plant in Zhejiang and, based on the agreements reached, expects to receive total compensation payments up to approximately $50 million. The relocation compensation will be paid to the Company over the period of the relocation which is expected to be through the end of 2022. The Company received payments totaling $30 million through the end of 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company received a payment of approximately $13 million. A final payment is expected to be received upon completion of the final environmental inspection.
Production at the facility ceased during 2019. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company transferred ownership of the site to the government. The land remediation activities are in progress and are expected to be completed in the second half of 2022. During the second quarter of 2020, the remaining net book value of the plant was written off.
Total China Operations
The total net book value of all plants in China was approximately $257 million as of June 30, 2022.
If the Company is required to close a plant, or operate one at significantly reduced production levels on a permanent basis, the Company may be required to record charges that could have a material impact on its consolidated financial results of operations, financial position and cash flows in future periods.
Other Contingencies
The Company has contingencies involving third parties (such as labor, contract, technology or product-related claims or litigation) as well as government-related items in various jurisdictions in which it operates pertaining to such items as value-added taxes, other indirect taxes, customs and duties and sales and use taxes. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations, in any period, could be materially affected by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
The most significant government-related contingencies exist in Brazil. With regard to the Brazilian matters, the Company believes it has valid defenses for the underlying positions under dispute; however, in order to pursue these defenses, the Company is required to, and has provided, bank guarantees and pledged assets in the aggregate amount of $22 million. The Brazilian matters take an extended period of time to proceed through the judicial process and there are a limited number of rulings to date.
Brazil Tax Credits
In January 2020, the Company was informed of a favorable ruling from the Brazilian tax authorities confirming that the Company was entitled to recover the overpayments of certain indirect taxes (known as PIS/COFINS) for the period from November 2011 to December 2018, plus interest on the amount of the overpayments. The overpayments arose from the inclusion of a value added tax known as ICMS in the calculation of the PIS/COFINS tax. The ruling did not, however, settle the question of whether the Company is eligible to recover overpayments based on the gross or the net amount of ICMS amounts paid on PIS/COFINS. The Company calculated the amount of overpayments using the gross method which yields a higher amount than the application of the net method. A final ruling on the gross versus net amount issue was made by the Brazilian Supreme Court who affirmed the use of the gross calculation with respect to claims submitted prior to March 2017. Although the Company had not submitted a claim until after March 2017, the Company believes that the Supreme Court, whilst confirming the use of the gross method of calculation, does not override the January 2020 ruling by the Brazilian tax authorities with respect to the timeframe for the calculation.

Avicel® PH NF (Pharma Solutions)
The Company has determined that certain grades of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel® PH 101, 102, and 200 NF and Avicel® RC-591 NF) were found to be out-of-specification (collectively, "OOS Avicel® NF"). The Company does not expect this issue to affect the functionality of Avicel® NF grades or to pose a human health hazard. Corrective actions have been implemented to improve operational and laboratory conditions. Based on the information available, as of June 30, 2022, payments associated with the issue were approximately $33 million, and the Company has a current accrual of approximately $25 million. The total amount of exposure may increase as additional customers present claims or other exposures are identified.
Other
The Company determines estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of reasonably possible losses in excess of related accrued liabilities, if any, when it has determined that either a loss is reasonably possible or a loss in excess of accrued amounts is reasonably possible and the amount of losses or range of losses is determinable. For all third party contingencies (including labor, contract, technology, tax, product-related claims and business litigation), the Company currently estimates that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of any accrued liabilities is $0 to approximately $40 million. The estimates included in this amount are based on the Company's analysis of currently available information and, as new information is obtained, these estimates may change. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and the unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued or included in this aggregate amount may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the matters in question. Thus, the Company's exposure and ultimate losses may be higher or lower, and possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued or the range disclosed above.

NOTE 16. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Through certain subsidiaries of the Company's Frutarom acquisition, there are certain noncontrolling interests that carry redemption features. The noncontrolling interest holders have the right, over a stipulated period of time, to sell their respective interests to Frutarom, and Frutarom has the option to purchase these interests (subject to the same timing). These options carry, in most cases, similar price and conditions of exercise, and will be settled on a pre-agreed formula based on a multiple of the average EBITDA of consecutive quarters to be achieved during the period ending prior to the exercise date.
The following table sets forth the details of the Company's redeemable noncontrolling interests:

NOTE 17. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
Microbial Control
During the third quarter of 2021, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to sell its Microbial Control business unit, which is a part of the Health & Biosciences segment. The Company acquired the Microbial Control business unit as part of the Merger with N&B.

Table of Contents
The Company classifies assets as "held for sale" when, among other factors, management approves and commits to a formal plan of sale with the expectation the sale will be completed within one year. Pursuant to ASC 360, assets held for sale were recorded at the lower of carrying value or the fair market value, less costs to sell. The sale does not constitute a strategic shift of the Company's operations and does not, and will not, have major effects on the Company's operations and financial results; therefore, the transaction does not meet the discontinued operations criteria.
Based on the agreement to sell, it was determined that the assets and liabilities of the Microbial Control business unit met the criteria to be presented as "held for sale" and such assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022 are the following carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities held for sale:
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) June 30, 2022

In addition to these assets classified as held for sale, the Microbial Control business unit also includes an equity method investment with a carrying value of approximately $74 million, which was sold as part of the divestiture. The equity method investment is presented in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022.

NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Sale of Microbial Control
The Company completed the divestiture of the Microbial Control business unit on July 1, 2022.
Upon closing, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $1.277 billion, adjusted for the preliminary estimates of certain closing adjustments. Finalization of such closing adjustments may result in additional cash receipt or payment. Approximately $15 million of cash proceeds were held in escrow and will be released to the Company upon satisfaction of certain conditions.
The Company also entered into transition services agreements with the buyer for the Company to provide certain general accounting, information technology and other services up to 19 months following the date of the sale for minimal consideration.
In connection with the proceeds received from the divestiture, on July 6, 2022, the Company repaid the $350 million outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, as of August 5, 2022, the Company repaid approximately $900 million under the Commercial Paper Program.
Amendment to Existing Debt Agreements
On August 4, 2022, IFF amended its existing Term Loan Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement, which delays certain step downs from the maximum permitted leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.0, stepping down to 3.50 to 1.0 over time, with the first step-down now occurring at the end of the third quarter 2023 versus the end of the fourth quarter 2022 previously.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
(UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE, DOLLARS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, liquidity and capital resources included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2021 Form 10-K").
OVERVIEW
Company Background
On February 1, 2021, the Company completed its Merger with Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc. ("N&B"), a subsidiary of DuPont formed to hold the Nutrition and Biosciences business (the "N&B Business", and such transaction, the "N&B Transaction") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with DuPont de Nemours, Inc. ("DuPont"). The shares issued in the Merger represented approximately 55.4% of the common stock of IFF on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the Merger, as of February 1, 2021.
As a result of the N&B Transaction, and following our 2018 acquisition of Frutarom Industries Ltd., we have expanded our global leadership positions, which now include high-value ingredients and solutions in the Food & Beverage, Home & Personal Care and Health & Wellness markets, and across key Taste, Texture, Scent, Nutrition, Enzymes, Cultures, Soy Proteins, Pharmaceutical Excipients, Biocides and Probiotics categories.
We are organized into four reportable operating segments: Nourish, Health & Biosciences, Scent, and Pharma Solutions. The Company's consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflect the results of N&B for the full three and six months in the period ended June 30, 2022, respectively, whereas the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 reflect three and five months of results of N&B in the period ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Our Nourish segment consists of an innovative and broad portfolio of natural-based ingredients to enhance nutritional value, texture and functionality in a wide range of beverage, dairy, bakery, confectionery and culinary applications.
Our Health & Biosciences segment consists of a biotechnology-driven portfolio where enzymes, food cultures, probiotics and specialty ingredients for food and non-food applications are developed and produced. The biotechnology-driven portfolio of this segment produces cultures for use in fermented foods such as yogurt, cheese and fermented beverages. It also uses industrial fermentation to produce enzymes and microorganisms that provide product and process performance benefits to household detergents, animal feed, ethanol production and brewing. Health & Biosciences is comprised of six business units: Health, Cultures & Food Enzymes, Home & Personal Care, Animal Nutrition, Grain Processing and Microbial Control.
Our Scent segment creates fragrance compounds, fragrance ingredients and cosmetic ingredients that are integral elements in the world's finest perfumes and best-known household and personal care products. The Scent segment is comprised of three business units: Fragrance Compounds, Fragrance Ingredients and Cosmetic Actives.
Our Pharma Solutions segment produces a vast portfolio of cellulosics and seaweed-based pharmaceutical excipients, used to improve the functionality and delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients, including controlled or modified drug release formulations, and enabling the development of more effective pharmaceutical formulations.
Financial Measures - Currency Neutral
Changes in our financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We provide currency neutral calculations in this report to remove the impact of these items. Our method in calculating currency neutral numbers is conducted by translating current year invoiced sale amounts at the exchange rates used for the corresponding prior year period. We use currency neutral results in our analysis of subsidiary and/or segment performance. We also use currency neutral numbers when analyzing our performance against our competitors and believe the change in method better allows us to do so.
We are presenting currency neutral numbers for all operating segments for the three months ended June 30, 2022, but will not be presenting currency neutral numbers for the Nourish, Health & Biosciences and Pharma Solutions operating segments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as these operating segments include the effects of the Merger with N&B, which closed on February 1, 2021. As a result, the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflect the results of N&B for the full six months in the second quarter of 2022, whereas the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflect five months of results of N&B in the second quarter of 2021, which do not present equally comparable periods.

Impact of the Events in Russia and Ukraine
We maintain operations in both Russia and Ukraine and, additionally, export products to customers in Russia and Ukraine from operations outside the region. In response to the events in Ukraine, we have limited the production and supply of ingredients in and to Russia to only those that meet the essential needs of people, including food, hygiene and medicine.
In 2021, total sales to Russian customers were approximately 2% of total sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 sales to Russian customers were approximately 1% and 2% of total sales, respectively.
In 2021, total sales to Ukrainian customers were less than 1% of total sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 sales to Ukrainian customers were also less than 1% of total sales.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a charge of approximately $120 million related to the impairment of certain long-lived assets in Russia. In addition, we recorded a charge of approximately $11 million related to expected credit losses on receivables from customers located in Russia and Ukraine (for export and domestic sales). For additional information, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our 2021 Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2022 with the SEC.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Various policies and initiatives have been implemented around the world to reduce the global transmission of COVID-19. Although there continue to be minor disruptions, all of IFF's manufacturing facilities remain open and continue to manufacture products.
The COVID-19 pandemic remains a serious threat to the health of the world's population and certain countries and regions continue to suffer from outbreaks or have seen a recurrence of infections, especially with the emergence of new variants of the virus. Accordingly, the Company continues to take the threat from COVID-19 seriously. The impact that COVID-19 will have on our consolidated results of operations for the remainder of 2022 remains uncertain. Due to the length and severity of COVID-19, there is continued volatility as a result of retail and travel, consumer shopping and consumption behavior. Moreover, as a result of disruptions or uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are experiencing, and may continue to experience, increased costs, delays or limited availability related to raw materials, strain on shipping and transportation resources, and higher energy prices, which have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our margins and operating results. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of these potential impacts to our business, consolidated results of operations, segment results, liquidity and capital resources.
Although IFF has not experienced and does not currently anticipate any impairment charges related to COVID-19, the continuing effects of a prolonged pandemic could result in increased risk of asset write-downs and impairments. Any of these events could potentially result in a material adverse impact on IFF's business and results of operations.
For more detailed information about risks related to COVID-19, refer to Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our 2021 Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2022 with the SEC.

Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring and other charges decreased to $7 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $24 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was driven by lower severance costs in the second quarter of 2022 (see Note 4 for additional information).
Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles
Amortization expenses decreased to $184 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $200 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in amortization expense was primarily driven by the intangible assets of the Microbial Control business unit being classified as "held for sale," and therefore no longer recognizing amortization expense on those intangible assets (see Notes 3, 5 and 17 for additional information).
Interest Expense
Interest expense remained flat at $77 million between the second quarters of 2022 and 2021 (see Note 7 for additional information). Average cost of debt was 2.6% for the 2022 period compared to 2.9% for the 2021 period.
Other Expense (Income), Net
In the second quarter of 2022, we recognized other expense, net, of $6 million compared to other income, net, of $11 million in the 2021 period. The change of $17 million was primarily due to foreign exchange losses in the second quarter of 2022 compared to foreign exchange gains in the 2021 period.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 16.2% compared to 31.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the release of uncertain tax positions in connection to an audit settlement, a favorable mix of earnings and the impact of a one-time non-cash United Kingdom rate change from the prior year period.
Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA Results by Business Unit
The Company uses Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA for internal reporting and performance measurement purposes. Segment Adjusted Operating EBITDA is defined as Income Before Taxes before depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, restructuring and other charges and certain non-recurring items. Our determination of reportable segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities within each segment and corresponds to the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews and evaluates operating performance to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. In addition to our strategic priorities, segment reporting is also based on differences in the products and services we provide.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold increased $362 million to $4.252 billion (65.1% of sales) in the first six months of 2022 compared to $3.890 billion (70.0% of sales) in the 2021 period. Cost of goods sold included approximately $389 million of incremental costs attributable to N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period. In addition, excluding the impact of N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period and the N&B inventory step-up costs from the prior year period, the increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by higher material costs due to higher commodity prices.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses increased $8 million to $315 million (4.8% of sales) in the first six months of 2022 compared to $307 million (5.5% of sales) in the 2021 period. R&D expenses included approximately $20 million of incremental expenses attributable to N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period, which consisted primarily of employee related expenses, including salaries, wages and bonuses and operating expenses for R&D related activities. In addition, excluding the impact of N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period, R&D expenses decreased due to lower Applied R&D expenses, which consisted primarily of lower employee related expenses, including salaries, wages and bonuses, operating expenses for Applied R&D related activities and professional fees, including consulting costs, primarily offset by higher Basic R&D expenses.
Selling and Administrative (S&A) Expenses
S&A expenses increased $52 million to $915 million (14.0% of sales) in the first six months of 2022 compared to $863 million (15.5% of sales) in the 2021 period. S&A expenses included approximately $51 million of incremental expenses attributable to N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period, which consisted primarily of employee related expenses, including salaries, wages and bonuses, primarily offset by lower administrative expenses principally due to lower professional fees, including consulting costs.
Restructuring and Other Charges
Restructuring and other charges decreased to $9 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $28 million in the first six months of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by lower severance costs incurred in the first six months of 2022 (see Note 4 for additional information).
Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles
Amortization expenses increased to $370 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $352 million in the 2021 period. Amortization expense included approximately $47 million attributable to N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period related to the intangible assets acquired through the Merger with N&B. Excluding the impact of N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period, the decrease in amortization expense was primarily due to the intangible assets of the Microbial Control business unit being classified as "held for sale," and therefore no longer recognizing amortization expense on those intangible assets (see Notes 3, 5 and 17 for additional information).
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $149 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $142 million in the 2021 period.

Average cost of debt was 2.6% for the 2022 period compared to 3.3% for the 2021 period.
Other Expense (Income), Net
In the first six months of 2022, we recognized other income, net, of $10 million compared to $18 million in the comparable 2021 period. The change of $8 million includes approximately $6 million attributable to N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period. In addition, the change, excluding the impact of N&B for the month of January in the 2022 period, was due to foreign exchange losses in the first six months of 2022 compared to foreign exchange gains in the 2021 period.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 14.5% compared to 0.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the release of uncertain tax positions in connection to an audit settlement, changes in the mix of earnings and a one-time benefit to record a receivable associated with the proceedings of a bi-lateral advance pricing agreement, partially offset by the impact of a one-time non-cash United Kingdom rate change from the prior year period.

Liquidity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We had cash and cash equivalents of $569 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $711 million at December 31, 2021 and of this balance, a portion was held outside the United States. Cash balances held in foreign jurisdictions are, in most circumstances, available to be repatriated to the United States.
Effective utilization of the cash generated by our international operations is a critical component of our strategy. We regularly repatriate cash from our non-U.S. subsidiaries to fund financial obligations in the U.S. As we repatriate these funds to the U.S. we will be required to pay income taxes in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes during the period when such repatriation occurs. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, we had a deferred tax liability of approximately $92 million for the effect of repatriating the funds to the U.S., attributable to various non-U.S. subsidiaries. There is no deferred tax liability associated with non-U.S. subsidiaries where we intend to indefinitely reinvest the earnings to fund local operations and/or capital projects.
Cash Flows (Used In) Provided By Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $100 million, or (1.5)% of sales, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $698 million, or 12.6% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities during 2022 was primarily driven by changes related to inventories, accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrual for incentive compensation, largely offset by higher cash earnings excluding the impact of non-cash adjustments.
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) totaled $3.010 billion and $3.354 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
We have various factoring agreements in the U.S. and The Netherlands under which we can factor up to approximately $250 million in receivables. In addition, we have factoring agreements sponsored by certain customers. Under all of the arrangements, we sell the receivables on a non-recourse basis to unrelated financial institutions and account for the transactions as a sale of receivables. The applicable receivables are removed from our Consolidated Balance Sheets when the cash proceeds are received.
The impact on cash flows from operating activities from participating in these programs decreased approximately $59 million and increased approximately $46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cost of participating in these programs was approximately $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Cash Flows (Used In) Provided By Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $346 million compared to $30 million provided by investing activities in the prior year period. The decrease in cash flows from investing activities was primarily driven by the change in cash provided by the Merger with N&B in the current year period, which was related to a pension true-up payment received from DuPont and cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash received. Additionally, the decrease was due to higher spending on property, plant and equipment in the current year period.
We have evaluated and re-prioritized our capital projects and expect that capital spending in 2022 will be approximately 5.0% of sales (net of potential grants and other reimbursements from government authorities), up from 3.4% in 2021.
Cash Flows Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $377 million compared to $427 million used in financing activities in the prior year period. The increase in cash flows from financing activities was primarily driven by higher proceeds from issuance of commercial paper, net of repayments, increase in borrowings of short-term debt compared to repayments of short-term debt from the prior year period, less repayments of long-term debt and less contingent considerations paid, largely offset by higher cash dividend payments and higher purchases of redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interest.
We paid dividends totaling $402 million in the 2022 period. We declared a cash dividend per share of $0.79 in the second quarter of 2022 that was paid on July 6, 2022 to all shareholders of record as of June 24, 2022.
Our capital allocation strategy seeks to maintain our investment grade rating while investing in the business and continuing to pay dividends and repaying debt. We make capital investments in our businesses to support our operational needs and strategic long-term plans. We are committed to maintaining our history of paying a dividend to investors which is determined by our Board of Directors at its discretion based on various factors.
We currently have a board approved stock repurchase program with a total remaining value of $280 million. As of May 7, 2018, we have suspended our share repurchases.
Capital Resources
Operating cash flow provides the primary source of funds for capital investment needs, dividends paid to shareholders and debt service repayments. We anticipate that cash flows from operations and availability under our existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our investing and financing needs. We regularly assess our capital structure, including both current and long-term debt instruments, as compared to our cash generation and investment needs in order to provide ample flexibility and to optimize our leverage ratios. We believe our existing cash balances are sufficient to meet our debt service requirements.
Refer to Note 7 for additional information.
Amended Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
As of June 30, 2022, we had $350 million outstanding borrowings under our $2.000 billion Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
The amount that we are able to draw down under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is limited by financial covenants as described in more detail below. As of June 30, 2022, our draw down capacity was $317 million under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
Refer to Note 7 and Note 18 of this Form 10-Q and Part IV, Item 15, "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules," Note 9 of our 2021 Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2022, for additional information.
Debt Covenants
At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants, including the net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA ratio. At June 30, 2022, our net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA(1)ratio was 4.38 to 1.0 as defined by the credit facility agreements, which is below the financial covenants of existing outstanding debt.
_______________________
(1)Credit adjusted EBITDA and net debt, which are non-GAAP measures used for these covenants, are calculated in accordance with the definition in the debt agreements. In this context, these measures are used solely to provide information on the extent to which we are in compliance with debt covenants and may not be comparable to credit adjusted EBITDA and net debt used by other companies.

The notes bear interest ranging from 0.69% per year to 5.12% per year, with maturities from September 2022 to December 1, 2050. See Note 7 for additional information.
Contractual Obligations
We expect to contribute a total of $5 million to our U.S. pension plans and a total of $33 million to our non-U.S. pension plans during 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no contributions made to the qualified U.S. pension plans, $15 million of contributions were made to the non-U.S. pension plans, and $2 million of benefit payments were made with respect to our non-qualified U.S. pension plan. We also expect to contribute $4 million to our postretirement benefits other than pension plans during 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, $1 million of contributions were made to postretirement benefits other than pension plans.
As discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, at June 30, 2022, we had entered into various guarantees and had undrawn outstanding letters of credit from financial institutions. These arrangements reflect ongoing business operations, including commercial commitments, and governmental requirements associated with audits or litigation that are in process with various jurisdictions. Based on the current facts and circumstances, these arrangements are not reasonably likely to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q, including: (i) currency neutral metrics and (ii) adjusted operating EBITDA and adjusted operating EBITDA margin. We also provide the non-GAAP measure net debt solely for the purpose of providing information on the extent to which the Company is in compliance with debt covenants contained in its debt agreements. Our non-GAAP financial measures are defined below.
These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information regarding our underlying operating results and comparable year-over-year performance. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. In discussing our historical and expected future results and financial condition, we believe it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of and to be assisted in a better understanding of, on a period-to-period comparable basis, financial amounts both including and excluding these identified items, as well as the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' calculation of such metrics.
Adjusted operating EBITDA and adjusted operating EBITDA margin exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, other (expense) income, net, restructuring and other charges and certain non-recurring items such as acquisition related costs, gains on sale of assets, impairment of long-lived assets, shareholder activism related costs, business divestiture costs, employee separation costs, Frutarom acquisition related costs, N&B inventory step-up costs, N&B transaction related costs and integration related costs.
Net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA is the leverage ratio used in our credit agreement and defined as net debt divided by credit adjusted EBITDA. However, as credit adjusted EBITDA for these purposes was calculated in accordance with the provisions of the credit agreement, it may differ from the calculation used for adjusted operating EBITDA.

The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the Company (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the Company. Please refer to Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of the 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
We intend our forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time of such statements and do not undertake or plan to update or revise them as more information becomes available or to reflect changes in expectations, assumptions or results. We 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 report or included in our other periodic reports filed with the SEC could materially and adversely impact our operations and our future financial results.
Any public statements or disclosures made by us following this report that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this report will be deemed to modify or supersede such outlook or other forward-looking statements in or accompanying this report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
There are no material changes in market risk from the information provided in our 2021 Form 10-K, except for the cross currency swap agreements.
We use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. We have entered into certain cross currency swap agreements in order to mitigate a portion of our net European investments from foreign currency risk. As of June 30, 2022, these swaps were in a net asset position with an aggregate fair value of $57 million. Based on a hypothetical decrease or increase of 10% in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, the estimated fair value of our cross currency swaps would change by approximately $160 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of our management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
