IFF reports Q3 adjusted EPS 89c, consensus 75c

Reports Q3 revenue $2.8B, consensus $2.77B. “In the third quarter we delivered both sales and profit ahead of our expectations,” said IFF CEO Frank Clyburn. “Our volume performance improved sequentially across the majority of our business, and we continued to benefit from our pricing actions and productivity initiatives. Our emphasis to drive working capital improvement yielded strong free cash flow generation, led by a significant reduction in inventory over the course of the year. As we look ahead, we remain committed to delivering our previously announced full year 2023 sales guidance range, and now believe that we can achieve full year 2023 adjusted operating EBITDA at the mid to high-end of our previously announced guidance range.”
