Item 8.01. Other EventsInternational Flavors and Fragrances Inc. ("IFF," "the Company," "we," "us" and "our") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K principally to recast certain previously reported amounts to conform with the segment reporting changes made in connection with the realignment of our organizational structure, with respect to the financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 ("2019 Form 10-K"). In connection with changes arising from the aforementioned segment realignment, certain other minor adjustments have been made to corporate cost allocations among reportable segments and global expenses. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company reorganized its reporting structure and combined substantially all of the components of the former Frutarom reportable operating segment into the former Taste reportable operating segment. As a result of the reorganization, the Company is now organized into two reportable operating segments, Taste and Scent. The Company's new reporting segments are aligned with its strategic priorities and reflect how management now reviews and evaluates operating performance. Starting with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter endingMarch 31, 2020 , the Company's new reporting segments are presented as described above. IFF has recast the following portions of the 2019 Form 10-K as they would have appeared when IFF published its 2019 Form 10-K if IFF had changed its reportable segments prior to the first quarter 2020: • Item 1: Business (up to and including Our Product Offerings) • Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations • Item 15(a)(1): Financial Statements This Form 8-K is being filed solely to recast certain previously reported segment reporting financial information and revise certain related disclosures contained in the 2019 Form 10-K to reflect organizational changes implemented in the first quarter of 2020, and certain other minor adjustments to corporate cost allocations among reportable segments and global expenses. The information contained in this Form 8-K is not an amendment to, or a restatement of, the 2019 Form 10-K. This Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after we filed our 2019 Form 10-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way, other than to illustrate the changes as described above. Therefore, this Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2019 Form 10-K. For developments subsequent to the filing of the 2019 Form 10-K, refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter endedMarch 31, 2020 and our subsequent current reports on Form 8-K and other filings with theSEC . In the future, references to the Company's historical financial information are expected to reflect the segment changes described above. Item 9.01.
