It suggests that International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. may be facing challenges in managing costs, generating sustainable revenue, or both. Further analysis of the company's financial performance and strategic initiatives is necessary to understand the factors contributing to this negative trend and to identify potential areas for improvement.
