WESTCHESTER, Ill., May 08, 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 first quarter of
2024. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, include
items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company
presents.
"Against a strong comparison with last year's record first quarter performance,
this quarter's results exceeded expectations. As anticipated, our net sales
volumes in the quarter improved sequentially, despite the impact of extreme cold
weather on shipments in the U.S. and taking into account the sale of our South
Korea business," said Jim Zallie (https://www.ingredion.com/na/en-
us/company/meet-ingredion/executive-leadership-team/zallie.html), Ingredion's
president and chief executive officer. "Furthermore, we maintained our gross
margins above 22% as the strength of our business model effectively managed the
impact of variable rate contracts which require the pass through of lower corn
costs."
"Looking forward, our Driving Growth Roadmap continues to guide our long-term
value creation. Also, in support of our new Winning Aspiration, the
reorganization is enabling clearer focus on the opportunities presented by our
global customers to drive growth. We are encouraged by the levels of customer
engagement, particularly in our texture solutions business. Additionally, we
anticipate deploying cash this year toward organic investments, dividends, and a
step-up in share repurchases," Zallie concluded.
(As previously disclosed, effective January 1, 2024, Ingredion will report
financial and operational results under its new reporting structure. For
comparison purposes, results for the first quarter of 2023 throughout this news
release are unaudited and have been revised to reflect the new reporting
structure in which there are three new reportable segments as described below. )
((*)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.)

Other Financial Items
  * At March 31, 2024, total debt and cash, including short-term investments,
    were $1.9 billion and $445 million, respectively, versus $2.2 billion and
    $409 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023.
  * Reported net financing costs for the first quarter were $19 million versus
    $32 million for the year-ago period.
  * Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the first quarter were 21.0%
    and 28.4%, respectively, compared to 25.1% and 27.7%, respectively, for the
    year-ago period. The decrease in the reported effective tax rate was
    primarily driven by the low effective tax rate on the sale of our South
    Korea business during the first quarter of 2024.
  * Capital expenditures, net were $65 million, down $10 million from the year-
    ago period.

Net Sales
  * First quarter net sales were $1,882 million, a decrease of 12% from the
    year-ago period, driven by both price mix and volume declines, partially
    offset by foreign exchange impacts. The impact of the South Korea
    divestiture resulted in a $51 million decrease in sales volume for the
    period. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, net sales were down 13%.

Operating Income
  * First quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $213 million and
    $216 million, respectively, a decrease of 27% for both, versus the prior
    year. The decrease in reported and adjusted operating income was driven by
    downtime associated with cold weather, hyperinflation in Argentina, and the
    carry-forward of higher cost inventory. Excluding foreign exchange impacts,
    reported and adjusted operating income were down 28% from the same period
    last year.

(**All Other consists of the businesses of multiple operating segments that are

Dividends and Share Repurchases
In the first quarter of 2024, the Company paid $51 million in dividends to
shareholders and declared a quarterly dividend
(https://ir.ingredionincorporated.com/news-releases/news-release-
details/ingredion-incorporated-declares-quarterly-dividend-078-share-0) of $0.78
per share that was paid on April 23, 2024. During the quarter, the Company
repurchased $1 million of outstanding shares of common stock.
Updated Second Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Outlook
For the second quarter of 2024, the Company expects net sales to be flat to down
low single-digits and reported and adjusted operating income to be up low to
mid-single-digits.
The Company now expects its full-year 2024 reported EPS to be in the range of
$10.35 to $11.00, which includes the impact of the gain on the divestiture of
the South Korea business completed on February 1, 2024, and adjusted EPS to be
in the range of $9.20 to $9.85.
Excluding the effects of the divestiture of the South Korea business, the
Company expects full-year 2024 net sales to be flat to up 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 still expected to be up mid-single-digits.
For full-year 2024, the Company now expects a reported and adjusted effective
tax rate of 24.5% to 25.5%, and 26.5% to 27.5%, respectively.
Cash from operations for full-year 2024 is still expected to be in the range of
$750 million to $900 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"), the company uses non-
GAAP historical financial measures, which exclude certain GAAP items such as
resegmentation costs, net gain on sale of business, Mexico tax items, and other
specified items. The company generally uses the term "adjusted" when referring
to these non-GAAP amounts.
Company 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. 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 the
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.

Above is a reconciliation of the company's expected full-year 2024 diluted EPS
to its 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/or significance.
The company generally excludes these adjustments from its adjusted EPS guidance,
which makes it more confident in its ability to forecast adjusted EPS than it is
in its ability to forecast GAAP EPS. These amounts include, but are not limited
to, adjustments to GAAP EPS for resegmentation costs, net gain on sale of
business and certain Mexico tax items.
These adjustments to GAAP EPS for 2024 include the following:
   i. Resegmentation costs related to the company's resegmentation effective
      January 1, 2024
  ii. Net gain as a result of the sale of company's business in South Korea
      completed on February 1, 2024

iii. Tax benefit from 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 period
