The Group’s revenue was unfavorably impacted by lower volumes, particularly in the agricultural ingredients product line. This decline was partially offset by higher prices. Segment operating income was $19.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $2.1 million compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. The decrease in segment operating income was driven by the decline in the volume in the agricultural ingredients product line along with a one-time charge of approximately $3 million stemming from the impact of severe rains from atmospheric river events late in the year that disrupted the harvest and production. The Color Group reported revenue of $175.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $17.3 million compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. The Group’s revenue increase was driven by strong volume growth and higher prices in the food and pharmaceutical product lines. Segment operating income was $29.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $3.2 million compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter results. The Asia Pacific Group reported revenue of $41.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. Segment operating income was $8.7 million in the quarter, an increase of $0.2 million compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter. Corporate & Other reported operating expenses were $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $14.4 million of operating expenses reported in the prior year’s fourth quarter. The higher operating expenses were primarily due to higher Portfolio Optimization Plan costs in the quarter. Local currency adjusted operating expenses(1) for Corporate & Other decreased $0.3 million compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter, primarily due to lower performance-based compensation costs recorded in 2025. 2026 OUTLOOK Metric Current Guidance Local Currency Revenue(1) Mid-Single-Digit to Double-Digit Growth Local Currency Adjusted EBITDA(1) Mid-Single-Digit to Double-Digit Growth Diluted EPS (GAAP) Between $3.60 and $3.80* Local Currency Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) Mid-Single-Digit to High Single-Digit Growth *Based on current exchange rates, foreign currency impact is expected to be immaterial for the year.
