    • Third quarter 2023 reported and adjusted EPS* were $2.36 and $2.33, an increase of 48% and 35%, respectively

    WESTCHESTER, Ill., Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to the food and beverage manufacturing industry, today reported results for the third quarter of 2023. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.

    “We continued to successfully manage our business in the third quarter with our approach to product pricing and customer mix, while also driving operational excellence and productivity to mitigate the impact of cost inflation. This enabled us to deliver 15% adjusted operating income growth for the quarter,” said Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and chief executive officer.

    “Our business continues to demonstrate resilience, evidenced by the diversity of our markets and product portfolio, and the strength of our business model. For example, our Food Systems business in Europe demonstrated mid-single-digit volume growth from greater penetration into private label. While lower corn costs around the globe contributed to lower net sales growth, we were encouraged by sequential quarterly improvement in sales volumes despite inventory rebalancing by customers that continued to work its way through the supply chain.”

    “Our updated full-year guidance reflects our confidence to deliver revenue and profit growth above our four-year growth outlook. We continue to execute against our Driving Growth Roadmap creating long-term value for shareholders, and are committed to total shareholder return as evidenced by the increase in the dividend rate and shares repurchased during the quarter,” Zallie concluded.

    *Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted operating income and adjusted effective income tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures. See section II of the Supplemental Financial Information entitled “Non-GAAP Information” following the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this news release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

    Financial Highlights

    • At September 30, 2023, total debt and cash, including short-term investments, were $2.4 billion and $341 million, respectively, versus $2.5 billion and $239 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022.
    • Reported net financing costs for the third quarter were $26 million versus $24 million for the year-ago period.
    • Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the quarter were 13.5% and 17.3%, respectively, compared to 32.3% and 30.6%, respectively, in the year-ago period. The decrease in the reported effective tax rate was primarily driven by a recently issued IRS Notice 2023-55 allowing the Company to claim certain foreign tax credits against U.S. taxes, favorable country earnings mix primarily due to Brazil tax law developments, and a related increase in the Company’s foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
    • Capital expenditures, net were $231 million, up $35 million from the year-ago period.

    Dividends and Share Repurchases
    In the first nine months of 2023, the Company paid $143 million in dividends to shareholders. The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.78 per share that was paid on October 24, 2023, which represented a 10% increase from the prior quarterly dividend rate, for the ninth consecutive annual increase. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $101 million of outstanding shares of common stock. To support total shareholder return as an important element of its capital allocation strategy, the Company is dedicated to returning value to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases.

    Updated 2023 Full-Year Outlook
    The Company expects its outlook for full-year 2023 reported and adjusted EPS to be in the range of $9.25 to $9.65 and $9.05 to $9.45, respectively. This expectation excludes acquisition-related integration and restructuring costs, as well as any potential impairment costs.

    The Company now expects full-year 2023 net sales to be up mid-single-digits reflecting softer volume demand. Reported and adjusted operating income are both expected to be up high double-digits.

    Compared to last year, the 2023 full-year outlook now assumes the following: North America operating income is expected to be up 20% to 25%, with price mix continuing to outpace lower volume and cost increases; South America operating income is expected to be down mid to high-teens, with higher input costs more than offsetting favorable price mix; Asia-Pacific operating income is expected to be up high double-digits, driven by favorable price mix and PureCircle growth, partially offset by higher input costs; and EMEA operating income is expected to be up 40% to 45% driven by favorable price mix. Corporate costs are expected to be up high single-digits.

    For full-year 2023, the Company expects a reported and adjusted effective tax rate of 22.5% to 23.5% and 25.0% to 26.0%, respectively.

    Cash from operations for full-year 2023 is now expected to be in the range of $650 million to $750 million. Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be approximately $310 million.

    II. Non-GAAP Information

    To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use non-GAAP historical financial measures, which exclude certain GAAP items such as acquisition and integration costs, restructuring and impairment charges, Mexico tax items, and other specified items. We generally use the term “adjusted” when referring to these non-GAAP amounts.

    Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a more meaningful, consistent comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

    Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; so our non-GAAP information is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables below.

    Notes
    (i) During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded pre-tax acquisition and integration charges of $1 million for our acquisition and integration of KaTech, as well as our investment in the Argentina joint venture.

    (ii) During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a $10 million pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charge on our equity method investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $4 million of remaining pre-tax restructuring-related charges for the Cost Smart program.

    (iii) During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded pre-tax charges of $5 million primarily related to the impacts of a U.S.-based work stoppage. This was partially offset by $4 million of insurance recoveries recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

    During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded pre-tax charges of $9 million primarily related to the impacts of a U.S.-based work stoppage.

    (iv) We recorded tax benefits of $1 million and $15 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and tax benefits of $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and its impact on the remeasurement of our Mexico financial statements during the periods.

    (v) This item relates to net prior year tax liabilities and contingencies, impacts from the Pakistan Super Tax, IRS Notice 2023-55, and tax results of the above non-GAAP addbacks. These were offset by interest on previously recognized tax benefits for certain Brazilian local incentives which were previously taxable.

    Above is a reconciliation of our expected full-year 2023 diluted EPS to our expected full-year 2023 adjusted diluted EPS. The amounts above may not reflect certain future charges, costs and/or gains that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance. These amounts include, but are not limited to, adjustments to GAAP EPS for impairment and restructuring charges, other matters and certain other tax items. We generally exclude these adjustments from our adjusted EPS guidance. For these reasons, we are more confident in our ability to forecast adjusted EPS than we are in our ability to forecast GAAP EPS.

    These adjustments to GAAP EPS for 2023 include the following:

    (i)Other-than-temporary impairment charge on our equity method investments.
      
    (ii)Charges primarily related to the impacts of a U.S.-based work stoppage and partially offset by insurance recoveries.
      
    (iii)Tax benefit as a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and its impact on the remeasurement of the Company's Mexico financial statements during the period.

    Above is a reconciliation of our expected full-year 2023 GAAP ETR to our expected full-year 2023 adjusted ETR. The amounts above may not reflect certain future charges, costs and/or gains that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance.
