- Third quarter 2024 reported and adjusted* operating income increased 26% and 29% compared to prior year
- Third quarter 2024 reported and adjusted EPS were $2.83 and $3.05, an increase of 20% and 31%, respectively

WESTCHESTER, Ill., Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to the food and beverage manufacturing industry, today reported its 2024 third quarter results.
“Texture & Healthful Solutions exhibited robust sales volume growth in the third quarter, which supported double-digit operating income growth for the segment," said Jim Zallie, president and CEO of Ingredion. “Additionally, the food and industrial businesses continued to generate significant operating profit growth. Of note, in our Food & Industrial Ingredients LATAM segment, the exceptional operating profit growth reflects recovery from last year’s transition to a more sustainable energy source in Brazil as well as continued strength in Mexico.”
"11% sales volume growth in Texture & Healthful Solutions was fueled by solid U.S. market performance in categories such as savory, packaged meals, and frozen prepared foods. Moreover, our European sales volume grew double-digits from an uptick in consumer buying behavior.”
"Operating excellence and contract management across each of our Food and Industrial Ingredients segments were also key drivers of exceptional profit growth. As we continued to face input and wage cost inflation, our sales teams worked successfully with customers to adjust multi-year contract pricing, which supported margin recovery. Furthermore, volume recovery improved fixed cost absorption, and our operations and procurement teams have driven structural savings, which is complementing the savings coming from our Cost2Compete program.”
“The strong performance across all segments enabled us to deliver our highest-ever third quarter operating income performance along with strong cash flow. We anticipate this momentum carrying through quarter four and into 2025. We believe our Driving Growth Roadmap continues to guide long-term value creation for our shareholders as we realize the benefits of our new segmentation to deepen our customer relationships and drive innovative solutions,” Zallie concluded.
* Reported results are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles “GAAP.” Adjusted financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures. See “II. Non-GAAP Information” in the Supplemental Financial Information that follows the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Other Financial Items
- At September 30, 2024, total debt was $1.8 billion, and cash, including short-term investments, was $884 million, respectively, versus $2.2 billion and $409 million at December 31, 2023.
- In the third quarter, reported net financing costs were $1 million, compared to $26 million for the year-ago third quarter, driven by lower net interest expense and benefited by $10 million of favorable foreign exchange impacts.
- Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the quarter were 30.8% and 26.9%, respectively, compared to 13.5% and 17.3% for the year-ago period. The increase in the reported effective tax rate was primarily driven by an adverse ruling that generated a multi-year tax contingency in the third quarter of 2024, as well as lapping a prior year retroactive law change to claim certain multi-year foreign tax credits against U.S taxes, and the change in value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. These impacts were partially offset by the tax treatment on the sale of our South Korea business during 2024.
- Net capital expenditures were $170 million year-to-date through September 30, 2024.

Net Sales
- Third quarter net sales were down 8% and year-to-date net sales were down 10% from a year ago. The decreases were driven by price mix primarily from lower raw material costs and lost sales volume from the sale of our South Korea business, partially offset by volume increases.
Operating Income
- Third quarter reported operating income was $268 million and adjusted operating income was $282 million. The difference in reported versus adjusted operating income was primarily attributable to the impairment charge related to our manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom, where we plan to stop production in the first quarter of next year. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported operating income was up 26% and adjusted operating income was up 29% from a year ago.
- Year-to-date reported operating income was $721 million and adjusted operating income was $768 million. The difference in reported versus adjusted operating income year-to-date was primarily attributable to impairment of an equity method investment and the impairment related to our manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported operating income was down 5% and adjusted operating income was flat from a year ago.

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 charges, 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.

Notes
(i) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were pre-tax restructuring charges of $6 million and $12 million primarily related to organization restructuring activities and the resegmentation of the business effective January 1, 2024.
(ii) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were pre-tax gains of $8 million and $90 million on the sale of the business in South Korea.
(iii) During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was a pre-tax charge of $9 million for tornado damage incurred at a U.S. warehouse. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were pre-tax charges of $5 million primarily related to the impacts of a U.S.-based work stoppage, which was partially offset by $4 million of insurance recoveries recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
(iv) During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $26 million of pre-tax impairment charges, which included pre-tax impairment charges of $8 million related to property, plant and equipment associated with manufacturing operations in the United Kingdom in the three months ended September 30, 2024, and $18 million primarily for equity method investments in the second quarter of 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there was a $10 million pre-tax impairment charge on equity method investments.
(v) Tax provisions of $8 million and $12 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and tax benefits of $1 million and $15 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were recorded as a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and its impact on the remeasurement of the Mexico financial statements during the periods.
(vi) During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized prior year tax contingencies and tax impacts of the above non-GAAP adjustments. These were partially offset by interest on previously recognized tax benefits for certain Brazilian local incentives that were taxable and the reversal of U.S. tax recapture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized prior year tax contingencies, the impact from the U.S. tax recapture, and tax impacts of the above non-GAAP adjustments, partially offset by interest on previously recognized tax benefits for certain Brazilian local incentives that were taxable.
