    The Flavors & Extracts Group reported third quarter 2024 revenue of $203.3 million, an increase of $12.3 million versus the prior year's third quarter. Segment operating income was $25.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.8 million compared to the prior year's third quarter. The Group's higher revenue and operating income were driven by higher volumes and pricing.

    The Color Group reported revenue of $162.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $17.1 million compared to the prior year's third quarter. Segment operating income was $29.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $6.9 million compared to the prior year's third quarter results. The Group's increased revenue and operating income were primarily a result of the higher volumes across all product lines and higher pricing.

    The Asia Pacific Group reported revenue of $41.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $5.0 million compared to the prior year's third quarter. The Group benefited from higher revenues across nearly all geographies. Segment operating income was $9.3 million in the quarter, an increase of $1.2 million compared to the prior year's third quarter. The higher operating income is primarily a result of higher volumes.

    Corporate & Other reported operating expenses of $14.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $9.6 million of operating expenses reported in the prior year's third quarter. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $1.2 million of Portfolio Optimization Plan costs in Corporate & Other. Local currency adjusted operating expenses(1) for Corporate & Other increased $3.7 million compared to the prior year's third quarter, primarily due to the higher performance-based compensation costs recorded in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the low comparable amount recorded in the third quarter of 2023.

    We have included each of these non-GAAP measures in order to provide additional information regarding our underlying operating results and comparable period-over-period performance. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation. Rather, they should be considered together with GAAP measures and the rest of the information included in this release and our SEC filings. Management internally reviews each of these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance on a comparative period-to-period basis and to gain additional insight into underlying operating and performance trends, and we believe the information can be beneficial to investors for the same purposes. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
