WESTCHESTER, Ill., January 30, 2015 - Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, today reported results for the fourth quarter 2014.

“Faced with a slowing world economy and volatile currencies, we concluded 2014 with significant progress on our strategic blueprint. Notably, specialty sales grew to 24 percent of full year net sales and overall volumes grew in each of North America, Asia Pacific, and EMEA.” said Ilene Gordon, chairman, president and chief executive officer.  “Asia Pacific and EMEA achieved record operating income for the full year.  These positives were offset by soft demand and foreign exchange headwinds in South America, and weaker than expected performance in North America.

“Creating shareholder value remains our top priority.  The acquisition of Penford Corporation is expected to close in the first quarter pending regulatory approval.  It should be immediately accretive to earnings and will enhance our high-value specialty ingredient portfolio.  Additionally, we continue to make significant investments in research and development and capital for our specialty portfolio.  Share repurchases in 2014, including those pursuant to our accelerated share repurchase consummated in July, totaled 3.8 million shares.  Our board recently authorized the repurchase of another five million shares over the next five years.  Continuing to appropriately return capital to shareholders while also maintaining a strong balance sheet leaves us well positioned for future growth.

“As we look ahead to 2015, North America is expected to drive bottom-line growth as it returns to normal from adverse weather in the first quarter of 2014 and margins expand. South America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific are anticipated to improve modestly given expected continuing economic headwinds, slowing economies, and weaker foreign exchange rates resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar across the globe.”

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Estimated factors affecting change in adjusted EPS from 2013

Financial Highlights

·                  Fourth quarter 2014 results include a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $33 million based on continued uncertainty over the timing of recovery from challenging economic conditions in Southern Cone.

·                  At December 31, 2014, total debt and cash and short-term investments were $1.8 billion and $614 million, respectively, versus $1.8 billion and $574 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013.

·                  Full year 2014 cash flow provided by operations was $731 million, compared to $619 million in 2013.

·                  During the fourth quarter of 2014, net financing costs were $12 million, or $3 million lower than the year-ago period.

·                  The fourth quarter reported and adjusted effective tax rates were 40.5 percent and 30.8 percent, respectively, compared to 27.4 percent in the year-ago period.  For the full year 2014, the reported and adjusted effective tax rates were 30.2 percent and 28.3 percent, respectively, compared to 26.3 percent in the full year 2013.  Our adjusted tax rate was higher due to two unusual items in 2014. One, the rapid devaluation of the Mexican peso in the last two months of the year increased the U.S. dollar tax expense of

our Mexican subsidiaries, which use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. And two, in the third quarter, the German audit liability recorded increased tax expense which was offset completely in other income. We will receive indemnification for this amount resulting in no impact on net income.

·                  Capital expenditures, net of disposals, were $271 million in the full year 2014 and $295 million in 2013.

·                  During the year, the Company repurchased 3.8 million shares for approximately $300 million, up from 3.4 million shares repurchased during the prior year at $228 million.

Business Review

Total Ingredion

Net Sales

·                  Net sales were down in the fourth quarter and full year as a result of the pass-through of lower raw material costs and currency devaluations, partially offset by volume growth.

Operating income

·                  Fourth quarter reported operating income and adjusted operating income were $118 million and $153 million, respectively.  This was a 26 percent and five percent decrease, respectively, compared to $161 million of reported operating income in the fourth quarter of 2013.  The decrease in adjusted operating income was primarily due to unfavorable price/mix in North America and Asia Pacific.  Strong speciality performance in EMEA helped offset the decline.

·                  Full year reported operating income and adjusted operating income were $581 million and $616 million, respectively.  Adjusted operating income was up one percent compared to 2013 operating income of $613 million, while reported operating income was down five percent when compared to the prior year.  The increase in adjusted operating income was due to volume growth, stronger specialty sales, and lower corporate expenses, which were partially offset by unfavorable product mix in the core product portfolio and weaker foreign exchange rates resulting from a stronger U.S. dollar.

North America

3

Operating income

·                  Fourth quarter operating income decreased from $93 million to $86 million. Late in the quarter, currencies in both Canada and Mexico fell sharply compared to the U.S. dollar contributing to margin compression and lower than expected co-product returns. These factors more than offset the higher volumes attributable to the U.S. and Canada businesses.

·                  Full year operating income was down six percent, or $26 million, from $401 million to $375 million. The impact of the adverse weather in the first quarter and margin compression with lower than expected returns on co-products late in the year more than offset the positive volumes in the U.S. and Canada.

South America

Operating income

·                  Operating income in the quarter was $34 million, down eight percent, or $3 million, largely as a result of weaker demand in Brazil and currency devaluations that could not be immediately passed through during the quarter.

·                  Full year operating income was $108 million, down from $116 million last year.  The decline in the Southern Cone could not be offset despite modest improvement in the balance of the regions. The Southern Cone remains a challenging environment, and a non-cash impairment goodwill charge was taken during the fourth quarter.

Asia Pacific

Operating income

·                  Fourth quarter operating income was $23 million, down 13 percent from $27 million, largely due to unfavorable price/mix variance and weaker foreign exchange rates offset partially by higher volumes.

·                  Full year operating income increased seven percent from $97 million to $104 million.  Volume growth throughout the region more than offset weaker foreign exchange rates.

4

Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)

Operating income

·                  Fourth quarter operating income increased 31 percent to $27 million, up from $20 million a year ago, due to increased volumes in Europe and lower costs in Europe and Pakistan.

·                  Full year operating income was $95 million, up $21 million, an increase of 29 percent.  Continued momentum in Europe and strong results in Pakistan drove improvement in the region.

2015 Guidance

2015 EPS, excluding the impact of the pending Penford acquisition, is expected to be in a range of $5.40 to $5.90 compared to adjusted EPS of $5.20 in 2014.  The guidance assumes: overall improvement in North America and modest improvement in our other regions given economic headwinds; an improved mix in our core products; good momentum in specialty products; an effective tax rate of 29 - 30 percent; and earnings per share accretion attributable to the 2014 accelerated share repurchase program.  We expect all four regions to deliver increased operating income and sales of specialty ingredients are expected to continue to grow faster than our core portfolio of products.

Cash generated by operations is expected to be approximately $650-$700 million in 2015, down from 2014, as declines in working capital last year from reduced corn costs relative to 2013 will moderate as corn costs are expected to be relatively flat this year versus last year.

Capital expenditures in 2015 are anticipated to be approximately $300 million.  These investments will support organic growth and cost reductions across the organization.
