WESTCHESTER, Ill., Nov. 03, 2022 (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 2022. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for 2022 and 2021, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.

“Ingredion delivered another strong quarter with net sales up 15%,” said Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and chief executive officer. “The results were driven by solid demand across both core and specialty ingredients combined with in-year, dynamic price management in each region led by our pricing centers of excellence. We fully offset higher input costs, expanded gross margins and delivered strong operating income growth.

“Specialty ingredients continued to grow double digits as we executed against our Driving Growth Roadmap, with net sales and gross profit margins higher across all four of our regions versus last year,” Zallie continued. “Among the highlights in the quarter, we commissioned our new Shandong, China production facility, more than doubling our local starch production capacity to serve this large and growing market. This well-timed expansion also enables us to leverage our new network capacity to support our European customers who are concerned about anticipated industry shortages for some starch products due to the severe summer drought. Additionally, supporting our sugar reduction growth platform, we received European Union approval for our bioconverted Reb M stevia solutions which further positions us to grow our PureCircle franchise.

“While the macro environment remains uncertain, our team continues to do a great job offsetting inflationary and foreign exchange headwinds while overcoming supply chain challenges to deliver growth. As we look forward, we are closely monitoring customers’ demand, and are currently working to ensure we meet their needs now and into the future,” Zallie concluded.

*Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted operating income, adjusted effective income tax rate and adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 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.

Net Sales

• Third quarter and year-to-date net sales were up from the year-ago period. These increases were driven by strong price mix and volume, partially offset by lapping of prior year consolidated Argentina net sales volume. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, net sales were up 19% for the quarter and year-to-date.
  

Operating Income

• Third quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $182 million and $191 million, respectively, an increase of 6% and 17%, respectively, from the same period last year.

The increase in adjusted operating income was driven by strong price mix that more than offset higher corn and input costs. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were up 12% and 23%, respectively, from the same period last year.
• Year-to-date reported and adjusted operating income were $605 million and $619 million, respectively, an increase of 170% and 8%, respectively, from the year-ago period. The increase in reported operating income was attributable to the prior year’s held for sale impairment charge related to the Argentina joint venture. The increase in adjusted operating income was driven by strong price mix that more than offset higher corn and input costs. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were up 179% and 12%, respectively, from the same period last year.

Dividends and Share Repurchases
For the first three quarters of 2022, the Company has paid total dividends of $133 million, and in the third quarter declared a quarterly dividend of $0.71 per share payable in the fourth quarter. This was a 9% increase from the prior dividend and is the eighth consecutive annual increase. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $29 million of outstanding shares of common stock, bringing Ingredion’s total share repurchases for the first three quarters of 2022 to $112 million. On September 26, 2022, the Company authorized a new stock repurchase program for up to 6 million shares through December 2025, replacing the previous program. Ingredion considers return of value to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases as part of its capital allocation strategy to support total shareholder return.

2022 Full-Year Outlook
The Company now expects its outlook for full-year 2022 reported EPS to be in the range of $6.90 to $7.20. Adjusted EPS is now expected to be in the range of $7.00 to $7.45, compared to adjusted EPS of $6.67 in 2021 and versus the previous outlook of $6.90 to $7.45. This expectation excludes acquisition-related integration and restructuring costs, as well as any potential impairment costs.

The Company expects full-year 2022 net sales to be up mid-double digits and adjusted operating income to be up low-double digits.

Compared to last year, the 2022 full-year outlook assumes the following: North America operating income is expected to be up low to mid-double digits, driven by favorable price mix more than offsetting higher corn and other input costs; South America operating income is expected to now be up high double-digits, driven by favorable price mix; Asia-Pacific operating income is expected to now be up mid-single digits, driven by PureCircle growth; and EMEA operating income is expected to now be flat to up low single-digits, driven by favorable price mix partially offset by higher input costs and foreign exchange impacts. Corporate costs are expected to be up mid-single digits.

For full-year 2022, the Company now expects a reported effective tax rate of 28.0 percent to 31.5 percent and an adjusted effective tax rate of 28.5 percent to 29.5 percent.

Cash from operations for full-year 2022 is now expected to be in the range of $225 million to $275 million, which reflects an anticipated increase in our working capital balances due to higher corn costs. Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be between $290 million and $320 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 costs, Mexico tax (benefit) provision, 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 $1 million of pre-tax acquisition and integration charges related to our acquisition and integration of KaTech, as well as our investment in the Argentina joint venture. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $3 million and $1 million of pre-tax net acquisition and integration charges, respectively, related to our investments in the Amyris and Argentina joint ventures, as well as our acquisition of PureCircle Limited.
(ii) During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $4 million of remaining pre-tax restructuring-related charges for the Cost Smart program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded pre-tax restructuring-related charges of $8 million and $22 million, respectively, primarily related to our Cost Smart programs. The $22 million of charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are net of a $5 million gain on the sale of Stockton, California land and building that occurred during the second quarter of 2021.
(iii) During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $340 million net asset impairment charge related to the contribution of Ingredion’s Argentina operations to the Argentina joint venture. The impairment charge reflected a $29 million write-down to the agreed upon fair value of certain Argentina, Chile and Uruguay assets and liabilities contributed and a $311 million write-off of the cumulative translation losses related to the contributed net assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $20 million favorable adjustment to the impairment upon finalization of the transaction, which reduced the $360 million asset impairment charge recorded during the first quarter of 2021.
(iv) 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a pre-tax benefit of $15 million to reflect a ruling the Brazilian Supreme Court issued in May 2021 that affirmed that we were entitled to certain indirect taxes.
(v) We recorded tax benefits of $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and tax provisions of $5 million and $4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, 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 periods.
(vi) This item relates to prior year tax liabilities and contingencies, the reversal of tax liabilities related to certain unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries, and tax results of the above non-GAAP addbacks.
