Insights

Financial Analyst

Ingredion's Q2 2024 results show a mixed but generally positive picture. While reported operating income declined 4%, adjusted operating income grew 8%. The adjusted EPS of $2.87 represents a significant 24% increase year-over-year, indicating strong underlying performance.

The company's raised full-year guidance is particularly noteworthy, with adjusted EPS now expected in the range of $9.70 to $10.20. This upward revision suggests management's confidence in the company's trajectory and ability to navigate current market conditions.

Ingredion's Cost2Compete program is showing early success, with $18 million in run-rate savings realized to date out of a $50 million target by 2025. This initiative should provide additional leverage for profitability in the coming quarters.

Market Research Analyst

Ingredion's performance reflects broader trends in the food ingredient industry. The 8% sales volume growth in Texture & Healthful Solutions indicates strong demand for innovative ingredients, aligning with consumer preferences for healthier and texture-enhanced products.

The company's strategic focus on sugar reduction, evidenced by increased ownership in PureCircle, positions it well in a market increasingly concerned with health and wellness. However, the overall net sales decline of 9% in Q2 highlights the impact of lower raw material costs being passed through to customers, a common industry dynamic.

Regionally, the strong performance in LATAM and U.S./Canada segments, with operating income increases of 29% and 31% respectively, suggests Ingredion is effectively capitalizing on market opportunities in these key regions despite challenging macroeconomic conditions.

Corporate Strategy Consultant

Ingredion's Q2 results and strategic actions demonstrate a well-executed growth strategy. The company's focus on Texture & Healthful Solutions, coupled with its Cost2Compete program, shows a balanced approach to driving both top-line growth and operational efficiency.

The increased stake in PureCircle to 98% ownership aligns with the growing importance of natural sweeteners in the food industry. This move strengthens Ingredion's position in the high-growth sugar reduction market, potentially opening new revenue streams.

However, the impairment charge on an equity method investment warrants attention, as it could indicate challenges in certain strategic investments. The company's ability to navigate such setbacks while maintaining overall growth will be important for long-term success.

Overall, Ingredion's strategy appears robust, with a clear focus on high-value segments and operational excellence, positioning it well for sustainable growth in a dynamic market environment.

WESTCHESTER, Ill., Aug. 06, 2024 (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 2024. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.

“In the second quarter, Ingredion achieved significant growth, led by Texture & Healthful Solutions, which experienced 8% sales volume growth year over year," stated Jim Zallie, president and CEO of Ingredion. “Additionally, our Food & Industrial segments were well positioned to respond to robust customer demand and delivered exceptionally strong profit growth.”

“In the quarter, we also deployed strategic capital to support future organic growth in texture solutions, and in line with our sugar reduction strategy, we further increased our ownership in PureCircle to 98%. Our organization is benefiting from our new segments as we increasingly leverage our global operating model and drive innovative ways to strengthen customer engagements for future growth. Our Driving Growth Roadmap continues to guide our strategic actions to create long-term shareholder value.”

“Last quarter marked the launch of our Cost2Compete program, aimed at achieving $50 million in run-rate savings by the end of 2025. Our initiatives to date have realized $18 million in run-rate savings, which will provide additional leverage for the remainder of the year,” Zallie concluded.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

In the first half of 2024, the Company paid $104 million in dividends to shareholders and announced a quarterly dividend of $0.78 per share that was paid on July 23, 2024. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $65 million of outstanding shares of common stock.

Updated Third Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Outlook

For the third quarter of 2024, excluding the effects of the sale of the South Korea business, the Company expects net sales to be flat, and reported and adjusted operating income to be up high double-digits.

The Company now expects its full-year 2024 reported EPS to be in the range of $10.20 to $10.70, which includes the impact of the gain on the sale of the South Korea business completed on February 1, 2024.

The Company anticipates adjusted EPS to be in the range of $9.70 to $10.20. Excluding the effects of the sale of the South Korea business, the Company expects full-year 2024 net sales to be down low single-digits, reflecting the pass-through of lower corn values. Reported and adjusted operating income is expected to be up mid-single-digits.

Corporate costs are expected to be up low single-digits.

For full-year 2024, the Company now expects a reported and adjusted effective tax rate of 27.0% to 28.0%, and 26.5% to 27.5%, respectively.

Cash from operations for full-year 2024 is now expected to be in the range of $800 million to $950 million. Capital expenditures for the full year are still expected to be approximately $340 million.

II. Non-GAAP Information

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), non-GAAP historical financial measures are used, which exclude certain GAAP items such as restructuring and resegmentation costs, net gain on sale of business, impairment charge, Mexico tax item, and other specified items. The term “adjusted” is generally used when referring to these non-GAAP financial measures.

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 the Company’s operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business. Expected financial measures 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. Non-GAAP adjustments are generally made to adjusted financial measures, which increases management’s confidence in its ability to forecast adjusted financial measures than in its ability to forecast GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP expected 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 Company’s 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.
