WESTCHESTER, Ill., Aug. 09, 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 second 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.

“Our teams delivered our strongest quarter since 2017,” said Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and chief executive officer. “Net sales growth of 16% reflected robust customer demand, which drove comparable volume growth; this, along with active price mix management, enabled us to fully offset higher input costs. As a result, our adjusted operating income was up over last year’s strong performance and was higher than our expectations.”

“Specialty ingredients continued their momentum underpinned by solid execution against our Driving Growth Roadmap. Notably, across all four of our regions, solid double-digit net sales increases exceeded our four-year specialties growth outlook,” Zallie continued. “In response to continued strong demand for clean label texturizing starches, we accelerated the commissioning of new capacity at our Indianapolis facility. In addition, our Sugar Reduction and Specialty Sweetener platform had another excellent quarter, growing net sales by more than 20%, led by a double-digit top line increase of PureCircle’s stevia franchise.”

“Also contributing to second quarter performance, core ingredients delivered net sales growth in the mid-teens. Our volume growth resulted from strong customer demand in categories such as brewery and confectionary. In addition, enhanced contract terms have enabled us to more quickly address changing input costs in our largest markets. Higher net sales growth was led by South America and Mexico as we continued to shift our focus to fast growing categories in these territories.”

“Overall, I am extremely proud of how our global teams continue to perform in this inflationary environment. While the business landscape remains challenging, our positive results in the first half of this year position us well to deliver a strong second half as we continue to execute against each of our four strategic growth pillars,” 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

• Second quarter and year-to-date net sales were up from the year-ago period. The increase was driven by strong price mix, including the pass through of higher corn and input costs. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, net sales were up 18 percent and 19 percent, respectively, for the quarter and year-to-date.
  

Operating income

• Second quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $213 million and $215 million, respectively, a decrease of 4 percent and an increase of 3 percent, respectively, from the same period last year. The decrease in reported operating income was driven by a favorable court decision related to Brazil indirect taxes in the prior 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 down 1 percent and up 7 percent, respectively, from the same period last year.
• Year-to-date reported and adjusted operating income were $423 million and $428 million, respectively, an increase of 713 percent and 5 percent, respectively, from the year-ago period. The increase in reported operating income was attributable to the held for sale impairment charge in the prior year 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 735 percent and 7 percent, respectively, from the same period last year.
• Second quarter and year-to-date reported operating income were lower than adjusted operating income by $2 million and $5 million, respectively, due primarily to restructuring costs.

Dividends and Share Repurchases
For the first half of 2022, the Company has paid total dividends of $90 million, and in the second quarter declared a quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share payable in the third quarter. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $44 million of outstanding shares of common stock, bringing Ingredion’s total share repurchases for first half 2022 to $83 million. 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
For the third quarter 2022, the Company expects net sales growth to be in the high teens and operating income growth to be in the high single-digits, when both are compared to third quarter 2021.

The Company expects full-year 2022 reported EPS to be in the range of $6.95 to $7.35, and adjusted EPS to be in the range of $6.90 to $7.45, compared to adjusted EPS of $6.67 in 2021. This expectation excludes acquisition-related integration and restructuring costs, as well as any potential impairment costs.

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 input costs; South America operating income is expected to be up low double-digits, driven by favorable price mix; Asia-Pacific operating income is expected to be flat compared to the prior year, driven by higher corn costs in Korea related to the Ukraine conflict and the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns in China, offsetting PureCircle growth; and EMEA operating income is expected to be flat to down low single-digits, driven by higher input costs and negative foreign exchange impacts. Corporate costs are expected to be up mid-single digits.

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

For full-year 2022, the Company expects a reported effective tax rate of 27.0 percent to 29.5 percent and an adjusted effective tax rate of 28.0 percent to 29.0 percent.

Cash from operations for full-year 2022 is now expected to be in the range of $300 million to $360 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), 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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a net pre-tax acquisition and integration gain of $3 million and $2 million, respectively, for our acquisition of PureCircle Limited, as well as our investment in the Argentina joint venture.
(ii) During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $2 million and $4 million, respectively, of remaining pre-tax restructuring-related charges for the Cost Smart program. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded pre-tax restructuring-related charges of $4 million and $14 million, respectively, for our Cost Smart programs. These charges 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 first quarter of 2021, we recorded a $360 million held for sale impairment charge related to entering the Argentina joint venture. The impairment charge primarily reflected a $49 million write-down of contributed net assets to the agreed upon fair value and a $311 million valuation allowance for the cumulative foreign translation losses related to the net assets to be contributed.
(iv) During the second quarter of 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 a tax benefit of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and tax benefits of $4 million and $1 million for the three and six months ended June 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.
(vii) When GAAP net income is negative and Non-GAAP Adjusted net income is positive, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding will include any options, restricted share units, or performance share units that would be otherwise dilutive. During the first half of 2021, the incremental dilutive share impact of these instruments was 0.6 million shares of common stock equivalents.

Above is a reconciliation of our expected full-year 2022 diluted EPS to our expected full-year 2022 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 acquisition and integration costs, impairment and restructuring costs, and certain other 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 2022 include the following:
(i) Pre-tax acquisition and integration charges for our acquisition and integration of KaTech, as well as our investment in the Argentina joint venture.
(ii) Remaining pre-tax restructuring-related charges for the Cost Smart programs.
