Cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2013 was $47.7 million, an increase of 11% from the $43.1 million reported in the third quarter of 2012.

Earlier this year, the Company announced that it was initiating a broad and strategic restructuring plan. The plan includes relocating the Flavors & Fragrances Group headquarters from Indianapolis to Chicago, which was completed this quarter. The plan also included consolidating several operating facilities throughout Europe and North America, and reducing the Company’s global headcount. The plan is progressing as scheduled and within the Company’s original cost estimates. The Company has included non-GAAP results to remove the costs related to the restructuring plan and provide investors with a view of operating performance excluding significant and non-recurring items.
“The Company had an outstanding quarter,” said Kenneth P. Manning, Chairman and CEO of Sensient Technologies Corporation. “We are encouraged by opportunities in both the Color and Flavor businesses, and I am very optimistic about the Company’s future.”
