Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
In connection with its presentation at Barclays Back-to-School Consumer Conference, being held today, Thursday, September 10, 2015 in Boston, Massachusetts, International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (the “Company”) is hereby furnishing a copy of the slide presentation, which provides updated full year 2015 financial guidance.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits hereto) is being furnished under Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the presentations furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K contain non-GAAP financial measures, including (i) adjusted EPS, (ii) adjusted operating profit and (iii) currency neutral sales. These measures are not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. In discussing the Company’s historical and expected future results and financial condition, the Company believes 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 identified items. The Company believes such non-GAAP measures provide investors with an overall perspective of the period-to-period performance of its business. In addition, management internally reviews each of these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance on a comparative period-to-period basis in terms of absolute performance, trends and expected future performance with respect to our business. A material limitation of these non-GAAP measures is that such measures do not reflect actual GAAP amounts. The Company compensates for such limitations by presenting reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures contained in the furnished presentations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures can be accessed by visiting the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website.
