INGREDION INCORPORATED REPORTS STRONG SECOND QUARTER 2017 RESULTS

·                  Second quarter 2017 reported and adjusted EPS were $1.78 and $1.89, respectively, up from second quarter 2016 reported and adjusted EPS of $1.58 and $1.73, respectively

·                  Year-to-date 2017 reported and adjusted EPS were $3.46 and $3.77, respectively, up from $3.36 of reported EPS and $3.51 adjusted EPS in the year-ago period

·                  Company reiterates 2017 expected adjusted EPS guidance range of $7.50-$7.80

WESTCHESTER, Ill., August 1, 2017 — Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, today reported results for the second quarter 2017. The results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for 2017 and 2016 include items which are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures which we present*.

“We continue to deliver shareholder value with another strong quarter, including solid operating income and earnings per share growth. Good operating efficiency, the impact of acquisitions, and higher specialty volumes more than offset headwinds in South America,” said Ilene Gordon, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Operating income in North America reached record levels, but was lower in South America due to macroeconomic headwinds and the temporary interruption of manufacturing activities in Argentina associated with the implementation of a new labor agreement.”

“As in the past, our growth strategy and continuous improvement programs drove margin expansion. The integrations of TIC Gums, Shandong Huanong Specialty Corn, and the Sun Flour Industry rice business are progressing as planned.  We have completed an important organizational restructuring of our Argentina business and we will continue our disciplined approach to cost management. As we continue to execute our strategy, we expect another strong year and reiterate our anticipated 2017 adjusted EPS guidance in the range of $7.50 to $7.80,” Gordon added.

*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 press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Estimated factors affecting change in adjusted EPS

Financial Highlights

·                  At June 30, 2017, total debt and cash and short-term investments were $1.95 billion and $454 million, respectively, versus $1.96 billion and $516 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016. Cash and short-term investments were lower primarily driven by stock repurchases.

·                  During the second quarter of 2017, net financing costs were $20 million, or $1 million higher than the year-ago period, due to modestly higher interest rates and gross debt compared to the same period in 2016.

·                  For the second quarter of 2017, reported and adjusted effective tax rates were 30.4 percent and 29.9 percent, respectively, compared to reported and adjusted effective tax rates of 32.8 percent and 32.0 percent, respectively, in the year-ago period. The lower rates were largely driven by appreciation of the Mexican peso during the quarter and resultant valuation of U.S. dollar-denominated balances in Mexico, partially offset by a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary.

·                  Capital expenditures were $144 million for the first half of 2017, up $19 million from the year-ago period.

Business Review

Total Ingredion

Net Sales

·                  Second quarter net sales were flat compared to the year-ago period. Acquisition and specialty volume growth were offset by less favorable price/mix due to the pass through of lower raw material cost.

·                  Year-to-date net sales were up as a result of acquisition-, specialty- and core-related volume growth and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These factors were partially offset by less favorable price/mix due to the pass through of lower raw material cost.

Operating income

·                  Second quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $211 million and $221 million, respectively.  These were six percent and five percent increases, respectively, compared to $198 million of reported operating income and $211 million of adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2016. The increases in reported and adjusted operating income were primarily due to margin expansion driven by operational efficiencies as well as acquisition- and organic specialty-related volume growth. These positives were partially offset by difficult macroeconomic conditions in South America, the interruption of manufacturing activities in Argentina and resulting temporary higher costs.

·                  Year-to-date 2017 reported and adjusted operating income were $406 million and $433 million, respectively. These were two percent and five percent increases, respectively, compared to $398 million of reported operating income and $412 million of adjusted operating income year-to-date 2016. The increases in reported and adjusted operating income were primarily due to acquisition-, specialty- and core-related volume growth.  These positives were partially offset by difficult macroeconomic conditions in South America, the interruption of manufacturing activities in Argentina and resulting temporary higher costs.

·                  Second quarter reported operating income was lower than adjusted operating income by $10 million.  Restructuring actions in Argentina were $6 million and acquisition and integration costs associated with TIC Gums were $4 million.

·                  Year-to-date 2017 reported operating income was lower than adjusted operating income by $27 million. Restructuring actions in Argentina were $17 million and acquisition and integration costs associated with TIC Gums were $9 million.

North America

Operating income

·                  Second quarter operating income increased from $160 million to $181 million while year-to-date operating income increased from $309 million to $341 million. In both periods, margin expansion driven by operational efficiencies and lapping plant maintenance from the prior year as well as volume growth from TIC Gums and specialty ingredients accounted for the increase.

South America

Operating income

·                  Operating income in the second quarter was $4 million, down $10 million from a year ago. Year-to-date operating income was $18 million, down $13 million from a year ago. In both periods, the decrease was largely a result of Argentina’s difficult macroeconomic conditions, the interruption of manufacturing activities in Argentina and resulting temporary higher costs.

Asia Pacific

Operating income

·                  Second quarter operating income was $29 million, down less than $1 million from a year ago. Less favorable price/mix due to core customer mix diversification, more than offset volume growth.

·                  Year-to-date operating income was $59 million, up $1 million from a year ago. The increase was largely due to volume growth partially offset by less favorable price/mix due to core customer mix diversification.

4

Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)

Operating income

·                  Second quarter operating income was $29 million, flat to a year ago. Margin expansion offset foreign exchange and volume impacts due to Ramadan timing.

·                  Year-to-date operating income was $57 million, up $2 million from a year ago. Volume growth more than offset foreign exchange impacts and higher input costs in Europe.

2017 Guidance

2017 adjusted EPS, excluding acquisition-related, integration, and restructuring costs, as well as any potential impairment costs, is expected to be in the range of $7.50 to $7.80 compared to adjusted EPS of $7.13 in 2016. The full-year guidance assumes, compared to last year: overall improvement in North America, Asia Pacific, and EMEA; South America flat to down; an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 29 to 31 percent; and continued trade up in our portfolio, including higher-value specialty ingredients, leading to margin expansion.

In 2017, cash generated by operations is now expected to be in the range of $750 to $800 million, slightly lower than our previous estimate, due to the organizational restructuring actions in Argentina and the launch of a finance transformation project.  Capital expenditures are anticipated to be between $300 and $325 million.

II.  Non-GAAP Information

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP historical financial measures, which exclude certain GAAP items such as acquisition and integration costs, impairment and restructuring costs, and certain other special items. The Company uses 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 the Company’s 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; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies.  A reconciliation of each non-GAAP historical financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables below.
