Symrise reported 5.3% organic sales growth in the third quarter, ahead of Vara consensus of 5%. Shares fell about 10% on Oct. 28 after management flagged slower fourth-quarter growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin in the lower half of the guidance range.
Early expansion into nontraditional flavor and fragrance businesses has boosted Symrise's growth profile.
Leverage is above the company’s targeted range, which limits its ability to complete a major acquisition in the next few years.
