Note to Consolidated Financial Statements
These interim statements and management's related discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and their
related notes, and management's discussion and analysis of results of operations
and financial condition included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to
Shareholders.
In the opinion of the Company's management, all normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been
made.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition
Operations
Worldwide net sales for the first quarter of 1996 increased 2% over the prior
year to $382,767,000. The Company's first quarter sales reached a new high
against a record performance in the first quarter of 1995. The sales increase in
the first quarter of 1996 was not significantly affected by translation. Net
income for the first quarter of 1996 totaled $66,164,000 compared to $69,956,000
in the prior year first quarter. Earnings per share for the quarter were $.60,
as compared to $.63 in the prior year quarter.
Sales and earnings were affected by slow reordering patterns for fragrances,
resulting from sluggish retail sales during the 1995 holiday season, both in
Europe and the United States. The resumption of normal fragrance reordering
patterns, as well as the introduction of several new fragrance products, will
result in stronger sales and earnings during the second half of the year.
The percentage relationship of cost of goods sold and other operating expenses
to sales for the first quarter 1996 and 1995 are as detailed below.
First Quarter
------------------------
1996 1995
----- -----
Cost of Goods Sold 53.3% 51.1%
Research and Development Expense 6.0% 5.9%
Selling and Administrative Expense 14.5% 14.3%
The effective tax rate for the first quarter 1996 was 36.6% as compared to 37.0%
for the same period in 1995. The lower effective tax rate reflects the effects
of lower tax rates in various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Financial Condition
The financial condition of the Company continued to be strong during the first
quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $285,128,000
at March 31, 1996. At March 31, 1996, working capital was $770,345,000 compared
to $759,576,000 at December 31, 1995. Gross additions to property, plant and
equipment during the first quarter of 1996 were $21,239,000.

In January 1996, the Company's cash dividend was increased 9.7% to an annual
rate of $1.36 per share, and $.34 per share was paid to shareholders in the
first quarter of 1996. The Company anticipates that its growth, capital
expenditure programs and share repurchase program will be funded from internal
sources.
The cumulative translation adjustment component of Shareholders' Equity at March
31, 1996 was $58,330,000 compared to $75,049,000 at December 31, 1995. Changes
in the component result from translating the net assets of the majority of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as
required by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 on accounting
for foreign currency translation.
