During the reported quarter, revenue from the company’s Flavors & Extract Group remained growing by 9.1% to $182.9 million in comparison to the revenue of $167.6 million reported last year. Revenue by the Asia Pacific Group showed a growth of 2.0% to generate $30.7 million in the reported quarter against revenue of $30.1 million reported by the segment last year.

Despite having reporting good growth figures in food and pharmaceutical colors, and in a number of foreign regions, sales volume from the Color Group came offsetting the effect of that growth. During the third quarter, revenue by that segment dropped by 8.3% to $116.4, largely because of the lower demand for makeup during COVID-19. Segment’s revenue in the third quarter of last year was $127.0 million.

The company reported Corporate & Other operating costs of $12.4 million for the quarter which was $7.7 million in the same quarter a year ago.
