International Flavors & Fragrances Financial Ratios 2025-2007 | IFF

Brief overview of International Flavors & Fragrances 's multiples and efficiency

This overview follows the five latest available observations from 2018 through 2024.

The valuation comparison uses P/E 78.38x (median 40.16x), EV/EBITDA 18.02x (median 20.95x), P/S 1.93x (median 1.95x). Ratios sit near their own comparison base, with an average deviation of +10.7% from five-year medians.

The 1/P/E calculation produces a 1.3% earnings yield. It does not capture future growth or capital structure.

Capital efficiency is characterized by ROE -2.5%, ROA -1.4%, ROCE -1.8%. Returns below zero mean resources are not producing positive profit. Recovery in operating results is the main reference point.

On PEG (2.55x), valuation is stretched relative to growth and requires strong execution.

The cash conversion cycle lengthened from 52.5 days to 103.7 days, or 51.1 days. More cash is tied up in operations.

What the ratios show

International Flavors & Fragrances 's multiples form a balanced picture without a clear discount or premium. Future appeal depends on earnings and return trends.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company International Flavors & Fragrances , allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
