Frutarom (LSE: FRUT, TASE: FRUT, FRUTF.PK) today presented
its results of the third quarter and the first nine months of 2010.

Frutarom, the world's seventh largest manufacturer of Flavors
and Specialty Fine Ingredients reports an increase of 11.1% in net profit in
Q3 2010 totaling US$ 11.1 M compared to a net profit of US$ 10 M in Q3 2009.
Frutarom's net profit margin reached approximately 10% of the Company's total
revenues in Q3 2010 compared to a net profit margin of approximately 9% in
the same quarter last year. The continued implementation of the rapid and
profitable growth strategy contributes to the increase in sales and to the
improvement in margins. Frutarom's net profit in the first nine months of
2010 increased by approximately 37.2% reaching approximately US$ 35.3M
compared to a net profit of approximately US$ 25.7 M in the same period in
2009. The net profit achieved in the first three quarters of the year is
higher than the net profit achieved in the entire year of 2009. Net profit
margin in the first nine months of 2010 reached approximately 10.4% of the
total revenues compared to approximately 8.1% in the same period last year.

Frutarom's revenues in Q3 2010 totaled US$ 111.0 M, an
increase of 4.8% in local currency terms compared to Q3 2009. The weakening
of the Euro and the Pound Sterling against the US$, which was slightly offset
by the strengthening of the Swiss Franc and the NIS against the US$, resulted
in a 0.6% decrease in sales in US$ terms compared to Q3 2009.

Frutarom's revenues in the first nine months of the year
totaled US$ 338.7 M, an increase of approximately 8.2% in local currency
terms compared to the first nine months of 2009 which totaled US$ 316.7. In
US$ terms, Frutarom's sales increased by approximately 6.9% compared to the
first nine months of 2009.

The increase in sales in the third quarter and the first nine
months of the year results mainly from the growth in Frutarom's core
activities - the Flavor Segment and the Specialty Fine Ingredients Segment,
which is also supported by a successful penetration of new, mainly natural,
products with higher than average margins, developed by the Company in recent
years.

The growth in the sales of Frutarom's core activities, the
continuous improvement in the Company's product mix, along with the
maintenance of the expense level achieved as a result of the steps taken by
Frutarom to achieve operational efficiencies and strengthen its
competitiveness, and the improvement in the global economic environment, led
to the continued trend of profitable growth in sales and to the Q3 record
levels in the net profit and in the gross, operating and EBITDA margins and
in the earnings per share. In the first nine months of 2010, Frutarom
achieved record levels in the operating, EBITDA and net profits and in the
gross, operating and EBITDA margins.

Gross profit in Q3 2010 totaled US$ 43.2 M, an increase of
4.7% compared to US$ 41.2 M in the same quarter in 2009. Gross margin

Frutarom's gross profit in the first nine months of 2010 totaled US$ 133.5 M
compared to US$ 115.9 M in the same period last year. Gross margin reached
39.4% compared to 36.6% in the first nine months in 2009.

Operating profit in Q3 2010 increased by 12.2% and reached US$
15.0 M compared to US$ 13.3 M last year and operating margin increased and
reached 13.5% compared to 11.9% in the same period of 2009. Operating profit

17.9% of the sales, compared to EBITDA of US$ 18.3, which accounted for 16.4%
of the sales in Q3 of 2009. The EBITDA achieved by Frutarom in the first nine
months of 2010 increased by 29.8% and reached US$ 65.2 M, which account for
19.2% of the sales compared to EBITDA of US$ 50.2 M, which accounted for
15.8% of the sales, in the same period in 2009.

Ori Yehudai, Frutarom's President and CEO, summed up stating,
"We are satisfied by the continued positive trends expressed in the continued
achievement of internal growth while materially improving profit and margin
which hit record levels also this quarter. We continue to witness fine
results from the continued improvement of our product mix and from the steps
we have taken to strengthen and improve Frutarom's competitiveness and
operational efficiency.

We intend to keep growing in the main regions in which we
operate and accelerate the growth in emerging markets, including Asia,
Central and South America and Africa, which enjoy higher growth rates, and in
North America, so that the market share of our sales, outside of Europe, will
exceed 50% of our total sales within the next 4 years. We act to accelerate
growth in these markets by focusing on the strengthening of our research &
development, production, marketing and sales infrastructures in important
target countries and while exploring options for strategic acquisitions also
in these markets.

In the framework of Frutarom's focus on global and
multinational customers and on mid-sized and local customers worldwide, we
are acting incessantly to expand our natural product portfolio while putting
a special emphasis on healthy and tasty food and taking advantage of the
growing demand for natural products. At the same time, we put efforts in
developing new and innovative, value-added products with higher than average
margin and witness fine results from the further improvement in our product
mix.

We continue to act for the execution of strategic acquisitions
and for the implementation of our rapid growth strategy which combines
internal growth and acquisitions. This combination will allow us to again
double our sales turnover within the next 4 years, to approximately US$ 1
billion. Our strong capital (US$ 351.5 in equity), the low net debt level
(US$ 29.8) and the strong cash flow we achieve, along with the support of
leading banks, will allow us to continue and implement acquisitions".
