INGR Ingredion Incorporated

Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to the food and beverage manufacturing industry, today reported results for the fourth quarter of 2023 and full-year 2023. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022 and full-year 2023 and 2022, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.

“Our business performed exceptionally well and remained resilient throughout 2023, delivering more than 20% operating income growth for both the fourth quarter and full year. Our targeted pricing actions and proactive cost savings initiatives helped overcome inflation and raw material volatility, leading to a sixth consecutive, quarter-over-quarter expansion of gross margin. Additionally, cash from operations exceeded $1 billion dollars, and we returned $295 million dollars to shareholders in the year,” said Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and CEO.

“We continue to make significant progress strengthening our diversified and balanced portfolio of ingredients and solutions. Specialty ingredients grew mid-single digits, despite volume headwinds as customers destocked and managed inventories lower. In the second half of 2023, we saw a steady recovery of volumes as customer demand strengthened. Throughout the year, our teams demonstrated agility and operational excellence as they continued to balance production schedules and optimize inventory levels at year end.

“As we look ahead to 2024, we are confident that the reorganization of our business operations will better align our resources and capabilities with customers’ needs to better target growth opportunities. We are well positioned to deliver profitable growth and margin expansion, as well as generate strong cash flow. We believe our Driving Growth Roadmap continues to guide long-term value creation for our shareholders as we deepen our customer relationships, and drive innovation and operational excellence to win in the marketplace,” Zallie concluded.

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

Net Sales

• Fourth quarter and full-year net sales were down -3% and up 3% from the 2022 fourth quarter and prior year, respectively. The decrease in the quarter was led by volume declines, partially offset by price mix and foreign exchange impacts. For the full year, the increase was driven by price mix, partially offset by volume declines and foreign exchange impacts. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, fourth quarter and full-year net sales were down -4% and up 4%, respectively, from the 2022 fourth quarter and prior year, respectively.

Operating Income

• Fourth quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $202 million and $203 million, respectively, an increase of 29% and 21%, respectively, versus the 2022 fourth quarter. The increases were driven by lower raw material and input costs and favorable price mix, partially offset by lower volumes. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were up 27% and 19%, respectively, from the same period last year.
• Full-year reported and adjusted operating income were $957 million and $969 million, respectively, an increase of 26% and 23%, respectively, versus the prior year.

• Fourth quarter operating income for South America was $46 million, an increase of $2 million from the year-ago period, and full-year operating income was $142 million, a decrease of $27 million from the prior year. The increase in fourth quarter operating income was driven by favorable foreign exchange impacts and strong performance by our Argentina joint venture, largely offset by lower price mix in Brazil and Andean markets. The effects of the devaluation of the Argentina peso in December 2023 are not reflected in our joint venture results, which are reported on a one-month lag. For the full year, the decrease in operating income was driven by lower volumes and higher energy costs, primarily from our transition to biomass boilers in Brazil. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, segment operating income was down -7% and -18%, for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.

Dividends and Share RepurchasesFor full-year 2023, the Company paid $194 million in dividends to shareholders, and in the fourth quarter declared a quarterly dividend of $0.78 per share that was paid in the first quarter of 2024. During 2023, the Company repurchased 1.0 million outstanding shares of common stock at a net cost of $101 million. To support total shareholder return, the Company is dedicated to returning value to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases.

2024 Full-Year OutlookThe Company expects its full-year 2024 outlook for reported EPS to be in the range of $10.20 to $11.15, which includes the impact of the expected gain on the divestiture of its S. Korea business completed on February 1, 2024, and adjusted EPS to be in the range of $9.15 to $9.85, reflecting the impact of the S. Korea business divestiture.

Excluding the effects of the divestiture of its S. Korea business, the Company expects full-year 2024 net sales to be flat to up low single-digits reflecting greater volume demand partially offset by price mix. Reported operating income is expected to be up low to mid-double-digits including the expected gain on the divestiture. 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 expects a reported and adjusted effective tax rate of 24.0% to 26.0%, and 25.5% to 26.5%, respectively.

Cash from operations for full-year 2024 is expected to be in the range of $750 million to $900 million, which reflects an anticipated increase in our working capital balances. Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be approximately $340 million.

For the first quarter of 2024, the Company expects net sales to be down mid-single-digits and reported and adjusted operating income to be down 25-35%, which includes the impact of the Argentina peso devaluation.

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 items, 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 three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $4 million and $5 million, respectively, of pre-tax acquisition and integration charges primarily related to our investment in the Argentina joint venture.

(ii) During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $1 million and $10 million, respectively, of pre-tax charges primarily related to an other-than-temporary impairment on our equity method investments. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $4 million of remaining pre-tax restructuring-related charges for our Cost Smart programs.

(iii) During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded pre-tax charges of $5 million primarily related to the impacts of a U.S.-based work stoppage. This was partially offset by $4 million of insurance recoveries. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded pre-tax charges of $11 million and $20 million, respectively, primarily related to the impacts of a U.S.-based work stoppage.

(iv) During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a tax benefit of $15 million. We also recorded tax benefits of $2 million and $4 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. These benefits were a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and its impact on the remeasurement of our Mexico financial statements during the periods.

(v) This item relates to net prior year tax liabilities and contingencies, impacts from the Pakistan Super Tax, IRS Notice 2023-55, and tax results of the above non-GAAP addbacks. These were offset by interest on previously recognized tax benefits for certain Brazilian local incentives which were previously taxable.

Ingredion IncorporatedReconciliation of Expected GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share (“GAAP EPS”)to Expected Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share (“Adjusted EPS”)(unaudited)

	Expected EPS Range for Full-Year 2024
	Low End ofGuidance				High End ofGuidance
GAAP EPS	$	10.20			$	11.15
Add:
Gain on divestiture, net of tax		(1.05	)			(1.30	)
Adjusted EPS	$	9.15			$	9.85

Above is a reconciliation of our expected full-year 2024 diluted EPS to our expected full-year 2024 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 significance, such as acquisition and integration costs, impairment and restructuring costs, and certain other items that we generally exclude 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.

The adjustment to GAAP EPS for 2024 includes the after tax net (gain) on the sale of our S. Korea business.

GAAP ETR	24.0	%		26.0	%
Add:
Gain on divestiture	1.5	%		0.5	%
Adjusted ETR	25.5	%		26.5	%

Above is a reconciliation of our expected full-year 2024 GAAP ETR to our expected full-year 2024 adjusted ETR. 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 may include, but are not limited to, adjustments to GAAP ETR for acquisition and integration costs, impairment and restructuring costs, and certain other items. We generally exclude these adjustments from our adjusted ETR guidance. For these reasons, we are more confident in our ability to forecast adjusted ETR than we are in our ability to forecast GAAP ETR.

The adjustment to GAAP ETR for 2024 includes the impact of the sale of our S. Korea business.
