What the filing says
IFF reclassified its Food Ingredients and Soy Crush/Concentrates/Lecithin (SCL) disposal groups as discontinued operations for all periods presented. This restatement significantly reduced reported 2025 net sales from $7,630M to continuing operations only, and lowered full-year 2025 adjusted operating EBITDA from $2,086M (as reported) to $1,552M (recast). Q1 2026 results also recast; adjusted operating EBITDA fell from $568M to $433M. The company took a $1,153M goodwill impairment in Q1 2025 (as reported) related to Food Ingredients, reduced to $34M post-recast. Operating performance deteriorated sequentially through 2025 before improving in Q1 2026.
Why this rating
Major portfolio contraction (~20% of sales divested) materially reframes earnings and operating leverage. Restatement and large goodwill write-down signal prior M&A misjudgment. Relative to $18.8B market cap, $1.1B impairment and structural revenue loss are significant, though continuing operations remain substantial.
