Anchor Anchor Anchor NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Accounting Policies

In the opinion of Sensient Technologies Corporation (the Company), the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022, and the results of operations, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year .

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Expenses are charged to operations in the period incurred.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other inter-bank offered rates to alternative rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and its related disclosures.

Please refer to the notes in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, for additional details of the Company’s financial condition and a description of the Company’s accounting policies, which have been continued without change.

Divestitures

On June 30, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its inks product line. On September 18, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its yogurt fruit preparations product line. This sale also included an earnout based on future performance, which could result in additional cash consideration for the Company. On April 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its fragrances product line (excluding its essential oils product line) for $ 36.3 million of net cash.

The Company reports all costs associated with the divestitures in Corporate & Other. There were no costs associated with the divestitures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The following table summarizes the divestiture & other related costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021:

In March 2020, the Company was notified by the buyer of the Company’s fragrances product line that environmental sampling conducted at the Company’s Granada, Spain location had identified the presence of contaminants in soil and groundwater in certain areas of the property. The Company records liabilities related to environmental remediation obligations when estimated future expenditures are probable and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. Based upon an environmental investigation and a quantitative risk assessment performed by a consultant hired by the Company, the Company recorded $ 0.3 million related to these obligations in Selling and Administrative Expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Operational Improvement Plan

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company approved an operational improvement plan (Operational Improvement Plan) to consolidate manufacturing facilities and improve efficiencies within the Company. As part of the Operational Improvement Plan, the Company combined its New Jersey cosmetics manufacturing facility in the Personal Care product line of the Color segment into its existing Color segment facility in Missouri. In addition, the Company centralized certain Flavors & Extracts segment support functions in Europe into one location. In the Asia Pacific segment, the Company incurred costs in connection with the elimination of certain selling and administrative positions.

The Company reports all costs and income associated with the Operational Improvement Plan in Corporate & Other. There were no costs associated with the Operational Improvement Plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The following table summarizes the Operational Improvement Plan expenses recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2021:

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31 2021, accrued liabilities in Other Accrued Expenses totaled $ 0.4 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, related to the Operational Improvement Plan .

Acquisition

On July 15, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Flavor Solutions, Inc. , a flavors business located in New Jersey. The purchase price for this acquisition was $ 14.9 million in cash with approximately $ 1.0 million of such amount being held back by the Company for 12 months in order to satisfy post-closing indemnification claims that may arise. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired net assets of $ 0.4 million and identified intangible assets, principally customer relationships, of $ 5.0 million. The remaining $ 9.5 million was allocated to goodwill. This business is now part of the Flavors & Extracts segment.

5 . Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivables are recorded at their face amount, less an allowance for expected losses on doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on customer-specific analysis and an aging methodology using historical loss information. The Company believes historical loss information is a reasonable basis for expected credit losses as the Company’s historical credit loss experience correlates with its customer delinquency status. This information is also adjusted for any known current economic conditions, including the current and expected impact of COVID-19. Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had and is not anticipated to have a material impact on trade accounts receivable. Forecasted economic conditions have not had a significant impact on the current credit loss estimate due to the short-term nature of the Company’s customer receivables; however, the Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the rapidly changing economic conditions. Additionally, as the Company only has one portfolio segment, there are not different risks between portfolios. Specific accounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the receivable is deemed no longer collectible.

The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement , defines fair value for financial assets and liabilities, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings were approximately the same as the fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The net fair value of the forward exchange contracts based on current pricing obtained for comparable derivative products (Level 2 inputs) was an asset of $ 0.3 million and $ 0.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2 inputs). The carrying value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $ 499.2 million and $ 503.5 million, respectively. The fair value of the long-term debt at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $ 497.9 million and $ 520.0 million, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

The Company may use forward exchange contracts and foreign currency denominated debt to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk in order to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, non-functional currency raw material purchases, non-functional currency sales, and other known foreign currency exposures. These forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 18 months. The Company’s primary hedging activities and their accounting treatment are summarized below.

Forward exchange contracts – Certain forward exchange contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company had $ 37.0 million and $ 48.6 million of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 , amounts reclassified into net earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings that offset the underlying transactions’ impact on earnings in the same period were not material. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, gains of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, were reclassified into net earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings that offset the underlying transactions’ impact on earnings in the same period. In addition, the Company utilizes forward exchange contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges. The results of these transactions were not material to the financial statements of the Company.

Net investment hedges – The Company has designated certain foreign currency denominated long-term borrowings as partial hedges of the Company’s foreign currency net asset positions. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 , the total value of the Company’s net investment hedges was $ 265.4 million and $ 289.5 million, respectively. These net investment hedges included Euro and British Pound denominated long-term debt. Changes in the fair value of this debt attributable to changes in the spot foreign exchange rate are recorded in foreign currency translation in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments decreased debt by $ 16.2 million and increased debt by $ 2.7 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments decreased debt by $ 24.1 million and $ 6.9 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, losses of $ 4.2 million were reclassified into net earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings related to the Euro net investment hedge in connection with the sale of the fragrances product line. See Note 2, Divestitures , for additional information.

Commitments and Contingencies

Agar v. Sensient Natural Ingredients LLC

On March 29, 2019, Calvin Agar (Agar), a former employee, filed a Class Action Complaint in Stanislaus County Superior Court against Sensient Natural Ingredients LLC (SNI). On May 22, 2019, Agar filed a First Amended Class Action Complaint against SNI (the Complaint). Agar alleges that SNI improperly reported overtime pay on employees’ wage statements, in violation of the California Labor Code. The Complaint alleges two causes of action, both of which concern the wage statements.

The Complaint does not allege that SNI failed to pay any overtime due to Agar or any of the putative class or group members. The Complaint merely challenges the manner in which SNI has reported overtime pay on its wage statements.

SNI maintains that it has accurately paid Agar and the putative class members for all overtime worked, and that they have not experienced any harm. SNI further maintains that the format of its wage statements does not violate the requirements of state law or any specific guidance from California decisional law, the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, or the California Labor Commissioner’s Office. Finally, SNI contended that certain of the state law claims are subject to mandatory individual arbitration.

SNI filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Complaint on July 10, 2019. The parties participated in an early mediation in the case in December 2019, which was not successful. On March 17, 2020, the Court granted Agar leave to file a Second Amended Complaint, which removed the claim that SNI had asserted was subject to mandatory individual arbitration. SNI filed a Demurrer to the Second Amended Complaint, seeking dismissal of the remaining claim, on May 1, 2020. The Court overruled the Demurrer on September 1, 2020. SNI requested discretionary appellate review of this decision. The Court of Appeal of the State of California, Fifth Appellate District granted SNI’s application on February 19, 2021 and ordered briefing by the Parties. Oral argument was held on April 5, 2022. On April 18, 2022, the Court of Appeal ruled that a peremptory writ of mandate should be issued directing the trial court to set aside its prior order overruling SNI’s Demurrer to the complaint and to enter an order sustaining SNI’s Demurrer without leave to amend, which has the effect of dismissing Agar’s complaint against SNI. Agar did not file a petition for review with the California Supreme Court, and therefore, the Court of Appeal’s decision was considered final as of June 20, 2022.

Kelley v. Sensient Natural Ingredients LLC; Walters v. Sensient Natural Ingredients LLC

On March 4, 2020, Monique Kelley filed a Class Action Complaint against SNI in Merced County Superior Court in California. Ms. Kelley worked at SNI for less than a week in 2017 through a temporary staffing company. Ms. Kelley has brought suit for purported violations of the California Labor Code and the California Business and Professions Code on her own behalf, and on behalf of all current and former California-based hourly-paid or non-exempt employees of SNI. Ms. Kelley specifically asserts claims for unpaid overtime wages, unpaid minimum wages, unpaid meal and rest break premiums, failure to timely pay final wages upon termination, non-compliant wage statements, and unreimbursed business expenses. SNI filed a Demurrer on May 21, 2020, seeking dismissal of the Complaint in its entirety on the grounds that it contains only boilerplate allegations that fail to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and it is otherwise uncertain, ambiguous, and unintelligible. SNI further sought dismissal of one cause of action based upon the statute of limitations. SNI simultaneously filed a Motion to Strike certain allegations in the Complaint as improperly pled. The Court sustained the Demurrer with leave to amend on August 25, 2020. The Court also granted the Motion to Strike. Ms. Kelley has amended her original pleading, asserting the same causes of action, to which SNI has filed a responsive pleading. The parties have begun discovery.

On April 26, 2021, the same law firm representing Ms. Kelley filed an additional notice with the State of California of the intent to pursue a claim on a representative basis pursuant to PAGA. This notice was served on behalf of Patrick Walters, an employee of SNI. The notice states the intent to pursue relief on behalf of Mr. Walters as well as other alleged aggrieved employees, identified as all current and former hourly or non-exempt employees of SNI, whether hired directly or through staffing agencies. The notice alleges that SNI failed to properly pay Mr. Walters and the other alleged aggrieved employees for all hours worked, failed to properly provide or compensate minimum and overtime wages and for meal and rest breaks, failed to issue compliant wage statements, and failed to reimburse for all necessary business-related expenses, in violation of the California Labor Code and California Industrial Welfare Commission Orders. On July 30, 2021, Mr. Walters filed a Complaint in Merced County Superior Court asserting the claims set forth in his PAGA notice. SNI filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses in response. Ms. Kelley and Mr. Walters agreed to attempt a joint mediation with Ms. Sofia Rodriguez (see case description below), which was scheduled for August 2022.

On June 15, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Viking River Cruises, Inc. v. Moriana , 596 U.S. ___ (2022), in which the Court ruled that the Federal Arbitration Act requires enforcement of an arbitration agreement that waives an employee’s right to bring individual claims under PAGA, and that an individual with such an agreement to arbitrate cannot bring representative claims on behalf of others. SNI has asserted in its Answer an affirmative defense based upon the existence of an arbitration agreement between Walters and SNI requiring individual arbitration as the exclusive remedy for his claims. SNI withdrew its agreement to participate in the joint mediation in August 2022, based upon the changed legal landscape post- Viking River Cruises . SNI also has demanded that Walters submit his individual PAGA claims to arbitration in accordance with his arbitration agreement. SNI intends to vigorously defend its interests in both the Kelley and Walters matters, absent a reasonable resolution.

Sofia Rodriguez v. Sensient Natural Ingredients LLC and One Source Staffing Solutions, Inc.

On June 10, 2021, Sofia Rodriguez filed notice with the State of California of the intent to pursue a claim on a representative basis pursuant to PAGA. The notice was served on behalf of Ms. Rodriguez, who worked at SNI through One Source Staffing Solutions, Inc. for five months in 2020. The notice states the intent to pursue relief on behalf of Ms. Rodriguez as well as other alleged aggrieved employees, identified as all non-exempt employees who worked for Defendants in the State of California, and who were paid on an hourly basis. The notice alleges that SNI failed to allow Ms. Rodriguez and the other alleged aggrieved employees to take statutorily required meal and rest periods. The notice further alleges that Defendants suffered and permitted Ms. Rodriguez and other alleged aggrieved employees to work off the clock, failed to pay for all hours worked, failed to properly provide or compensate for minimum and overtime wages, failed to issue compliant wage statements, and failed to pay wages owed upon termination of employment, in violation of the California Labor Code. Ms. Rodriguez also asserts that she was taken off the schedule and not returned to work after complaining about the alleged wage and hour violations set forth in the PAGA notice. On August 17, 2021, Ms. Rodriguez filed a Complaint in Stanislaus County Superior Court asserting the claims set forth in her PAGA notice. SNI filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses in response. Ms. Rodriguez agreed to attempt a joint mediation with Ms. Monique Kelley and Mr. Patrick Walters (see case descriptions above), which was scheduled for August 2022. SNI withdrew its agreement to a joint mediation following the issuance of the decision in Viking River Cruises, Inc. SNI intends to vigorously defend its interests in the Rodriguez matter, absent a reasonable resolution.

Other Claims

OVERVIEW

Revenue

Revenue was $371.7 million and $335.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue was $727.2 million and $695.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to increased pricing and volumes. The increase in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was partially offset by the sale of the Company’s Fragrances product line on April 1, 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the impact of foreign exchange rates decreased consolidated revenue by approximately 3%.

Gross Margin

The Company’s gross margin was 35.2% and 33.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company’s gross margin was 35.2% and 32.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in gross margin for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to increased pricing and volumes, partially offset by higher input costs. Gross margin was also impacted by unfavorable product mix for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.4% and 22.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue was 20.3% and 20.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Selling and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 included divestiture & other related expenses and operational improvement plan costs totaling $8.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively. There were no divestiture & other related costs or operational improvement plan costs for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

Index

The decrease in selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily due to the lack of divestiture & other related costs and operational improvement plan costs in 2022, partially offset by higher performance-based executive compensation in 2022. The divestiture & other related costs and operational improvement plan costs increased selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenue by 250 and 160 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Operating Income

Operating income was $55.2 million and $35.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating margins were 14.9% and 10.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in operating margin is primarily due to higher pricing and volumes, and the lack of divestiture & other related costs and operational improvement plan costs in the current period, partially offset by higher input costs and unfavorable product mix .

Operating income was $108.0 million and $82.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating margins were 14.9% and 11.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in operating margin is primarily due to higher pricing and volumes, and the lack of divestiture & other related costs and operational improvement plan costs in the current period, partially offset by higher input costs .

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $3.1 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $6.1 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the lower average interest rate in the current period compared to the comparable prior year period.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 25.9% and 20.0%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the effective income tax rates were 25.7% and 24.1%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were both impacted by changes in estimates associated with the finalization of prior year foreign tax items and the mix of foreign earnings. The three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were also impacted by changes in valuation allowances and an audit settlement.

Divestitures

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $11.7 million and $13.3 million, respectively, related to the divestitures, primarily related to a non-cash net loss for the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation and related items from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to Selling and Administrative Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. There were no costs related to the divestitures incurred during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

Operational Improvement Plan

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company received cash proceeds, net of associated expenses, in connection with the termination of a New Jersey office and laboratory space lease. The terminated lease was originally executed in November 2020 as part of the Operational Improvement Plan; however, the landlord for the property requested to terminate the lease prior to the end of its term and compensated the Company as part of a negotiated resolution for that termination.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded income of $3.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, related to the Operational Improvement Plan, primarily related to a $3.6 million gain associated with the terminated New Jersey lease. There were no costs or income related to the Operational Improvement Plan incurred during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

Index

Acquisition

On July 15, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Flavor Solutions, Inc. , a flavors business located in New Jersey. The purchase price for this acquisition was $14.9 million in cash with approximately $1.0 million of such amount being held back by the Company for 12 months in order to satisfy post-closing indemnification claims that may arise. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired net assets of $0.4 million and identified intangible assets, principally customer relationships, of $5.0 million. The remaining $9.5 million was allocated to goodwill. This business is now part of the Flavors & Extracts segment.

COVID-19

COVID-19 has adversely affected most of the world through widespread illness, quarantines, factory shutdowns, and travel and transportation disruptions and restrictions. These adverse effects could continue in parts of the world. While the Company’s financial position remains strong, the Company has seen several financial and operational impacts from the pandemic as of this filing. We have experienced various degrees of supply chain challenges and attempted to mitigate those challenges by increasing inventory in certain key raw materials and using secondary suppliers and new methods of procurement where available. In addition, we have experienced inflationary increases in costs associated with certain raw materials, logistics, energy, transportation, and labor. In response, we have taken pricing actions to offset these increases.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, demand for many of the Company’s products remained strong. All of the Company’s production facilities are open and operating as of this filing, but the Company continues to monitor developments and regulations in regions where its production facilities are located. Governmental and social responses to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve. There continues to be uncertainty related to the impacts of new COVID-19 variants, and we expect that the situation will remain dynamic and difficult to predict for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that our experience to date with respect to facility operations, customer demand, the availability of supplies and transportation, and other factors impacting our results and financial condition will be predictive of the ongoing impacts in the short or long term. It is difficult to predict how economic conditions and changes in customer and consumer behavior may impact our results over the longer term. As a result of any of the foregoing, our results or financial condition could be adversely impacted and the impacts could be material.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Within the following tables, the Company reports certain non-GAAP financial measures, including: (1) adjusted revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which exclude the results of the divested product lines, the divestiture & other related costs, and the operational improvement plan costs and income and (2) percentage changes in revenue, operating income, and diluted earnings per share on an adjusted local currency basis, which eliminate the effects that result from translating its international operations into U.S. dollars, the results of the divested product lines, the divestiture & other related costs, and the operational improvement plan costs or income.

The Company has included each of these non-GAAP measures in order to provide additional information regarding our underlying operating results and comparable year-over-year 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 report. 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 the Company believes 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.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Financial Condition

The Company’s financial position remains strong. The Company is in compliance with its loan covenants calculated in accordance with applicable agreements as of June 30, 2022. The Company expects its cash flow from operations and its existing debt capacity can be used to meet anticipated future cash requirements for operations, capital expenditures, dividend payments, acquisitions, and stock repurchases. The Company’s contractual obligations consist primarily of operational commitments, which we expect to continue to be able to satisfy through cash generated from operations and debt. The Company has various series of notes outstanding that mature from 2022 through 2027. The Company believes that it has the ability to refinance or repay these obligations through a combination of cash flow from operations, issuance of additional notes, and substantial borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which matures in 2026.

As a result of our ability to manage the impact of inflation through pricing and other actions, the impact of inflation was not material to the Company’s financial position and its results of operations for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company currently anticipates inflation will not significantly impact the remainder of 2022, as a result of the Company’s pricing and other actions; however, the Company, like others in its industry, has faced challenges due to conditions in the global supply chain and global economy. In particular, the Company has experienced increased costs for certain inputs, such as energy, raw materials, shipping and logistics, and labor-related costs. We continue to expect to manage these impacts in the near term, but persistent, accelerated, or expanded inflationary conditions could exacerbate these challenges and impact our profitability.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.8 million and $89.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash used for inventory in 2022.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $10.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
