WESTCHESTER, Ill., Nov. 01, 2020 (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 third quarter 2020. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for 2020 and 2019, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.

“We are pleased with our operational execution and financial performance for the third quarter. We experienced sequential improvement over second quarter 2020 in customer volume demand across all four of our regions, driven by increased consumer activity in response to easing of COVID-19 restrictions,” said Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and chief executive officer. “Reported and adjusted operating income were up 35% and 41%, respectively, from the second quarter. Our intense focus on servicing customers and operational execution, enabled us to deliver year-over-year profit growth in most of our regions.”

“As we continue to navigate the different economic environments around the world, we remain focused on the resilience of our workforce, the responsibility to the communities in which we operate and ensuring business continuity for our customers. Our teams displayed great agility and creativity to advance our go-to-market strategy with customers, and I am incredibly proud of them. As part of new ways of working, we are leveraging new forms of digital collaboration to connect, innovate and co-create with our customers. Around the world, we are moving our Idea Labs to virtual interactive studios to bring the innovation process to our customers, wherever they are,” Zallie continued.

“Today, we announced another strategic step to advance our Driving Growth Roadmap with the pending acquisition of Verdient Foods Inc., bringing our ownership to 100%. This transaction enables us to accelerate net sales growth, further expand our manufacturing capacity and better manage our supply network to serve the increasing demand for plant-based proteins. During the quarter, we also further enhanced our sugar reduction capabilities by integrating PureCircle’s global team and operations.”

“We are well positioned to effectively manage through the uncertainties due to the pandemic and successfully support our customers and their changing needs. We remain confident in the relevance of our strategy to grow our business and deliver value for shareholders,” concluded Zallie.

*Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted operating income, adjusted effective income tax rate and adjusted cash flow from operations 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 press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Financial Highlights

• At September 30, 2020, total debt and cash and short-term investments were $2.2 billion and $553 million, respectively, versus $1.8 billion and $268 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019. The increase in total debt and cash and short-term investments was primarily due to the Company's sale of $1.0 billion of senior notes in the second quarter 2020, partially offset by the redemption of $400 million of November 2020 senior notes in July.
• Net financing costs were $22 million, which includes $5 million for interest payments associated with the early retirement of the senior notes in July. Net financing costs were $2 million lower in the third quarter from the year-ago period. The decrease resulted from lower net interest expense due to lower interest rates.
• Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the quarter were 30.1 percent and 26.2 percent, respectively, compared to 27.1 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively, in the year-ago period. The increase in reported and adjusted tax rates resulted primarily from US foreign tax credits, country earnings mix, and other one-time adjustments.
• Year-to-date capital expenditures were $250 million, up $19 million from the year-ago period.

Net Sales

• Third quarter net sales were down from the year-ago period. The decrease was driven by foreign exchange impacts in South America and sales volume declines in North America. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, net sales were down 2 percent for the quarter.
• Year-to-date net sales were down from the year-ago period. The decrease in year-to-date net sales was driven by sales volume declines in North America and South America and foreign exchange impacts in South America which were partially offset by favorable pricing. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, net sales were down 3 percent year-to-date.

Operating income

• Reported and adjusted operating income for the quarter were $153 million and $179 million, respectively, both of which decreased by 7 percent, from the year-ago period. The decreases were largely attributable to lower sales volumes in North America and the inclusion of PureCircle results. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were both down 4 percent from the same period last year.
• Year-to-date reported and adjusted operating income were $419 million and $473 million, respectively, decreases of 15 percent and 12 percent, respectively, from the year-ago period. The decreases were largely attributable to lower sales volumes in North America and higher corporate costs due to continued investments to drive business and digital transformation. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were down 11 percent and 8 percent, respectively, from the same period last year.
• Third quarter and year-to-date reported operating income were lower than adjusted operating income by $26 million and $54 million, respectively, due to asset closures and restructuring costs related to Cost Smart, acquisition and integration costs, and the impact of the August storm damage in Iowa.

Operating income

• Third quarter operating income was $132 million, a decrease of $13 million from the year-ago period. The decrease was driven by lower volumes, as COVID-19 continued to impact away-from-home consumption across the region, and unfavorable mix in the U.S. and Canada.
• Year-to-date operating income was $358 million, a decrease of $51 million from the year-ago period. The decrease was driven by significantly lower away-from-home consumption across the region and the shutdown of brewery customers in Mexico in the second quarter.

Operating income

• Third quarter operating income was $18 million, down $4 million from the year-ago period driven by $5 million of operating loss from PureCircle. Excluding PureCircle, third quarter operating income was $23 million, up $1 million from the year-ago period driven by lower input costs and operating expenses.
• Year-to-date operating income was $60 million, a decrease of $5 million from the year-ago period. PureCircle results reduced year-to-date operating income by $5 million. Excluding PureCircle results, year-to-date operating income was flat to the same period in the prior year as lower input costs and favorable operating expenses offset lower sales volumes in the first half due to the impact of stay-at-home orders. Excluding foreign currency impacts, segment operating income was down 6%.

Operating income

• Third quarter operating income was $25 million, up $1 million from the year-ago period. The increase was largely attributable to favorable price mix in Pakistan and lower operating expenses in Europe.
• Year-to-date operating income was $73 million, an increase of $2 million from a year ago. The increase was largely attributable to Pakistan pricing actions, solid EMEA specialty sales volume, and lower operating expenses in Europe, partially offset by the impacts of stay-at-home orders on Pakistan production and sales volume in the first half and negative foreign currency impacts. Excluding foreign currency impacts, segment operating income was up 8 percent.

Dividends

In September 2020, the Company increased the quarterly dividend to $0.64 per share from $0.63 per share, and paid dividends of $45 million in the third quarter and $132 million year-to-date.

2020 Outlook

Due to continued uncertainty of COVID-19 impacts, the Company cannot reasonably estimate full-year results at this time and guidance remains withdrawn.

The Company anticipates continued impacts from COVID-19 on net sales volume across our operating segments in the fourth quarter, with recovery in net sales generally correlated with increased consumer activity. With pandemic case rates rising and falling across many geographies, we expect away-from-home consumption to continue to fluctuate, suppressing volume demand for ingredients that are formulated in food and beverages consumed away-from-home. We anticipate modestly higher demand for food consumed in home, increasing volumes for ingredients that are part of the recipes for these meals.

For the full year, we expect a reported tax rate of 32 percent to 36 percent and an adjusted effective tax rate in the range of approximately 27 percent to 28 percent.

Capital expenditures are anticipated to be between $290 million and $310 million, of which more than $100 million is being invested to drive Specialty growth.

II. Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with 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 cost, Mexico tax provision, and certain other special 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; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP historical financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables below.

Notes
(i) The 2020 period primarily includes costs related to the acquisition and integration of the business acquired from PureCircle Limited. The 2019 period primarily includes costs related to the acquisition and integration of the business acquired from Western Polymer, LLC.
(ii) During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $6 million of pre-tax restructuring/impairment charges, consisting of $4 million of employee-related and other costs, including professional services, associated with its Cost Smart SG&A program and $2 million of restructuring related expenses primarily in North America and APAC as part of its Cost Smart cost of sales program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $31 million of pre-tax restructuring/impairment charges, consisting of, $17 million of restructuring related expenses primarily in North America and APAC as part of its Cost Smart cost of sales program and $14 million of employee-related and other costs, including professional services, associated with its Cost Smart SG&A program. In addition, the Company recorded a $10 million impairment of its equity method investment during the three months ended September 30, 2020, triggered by the decrease in fair value of its investment resulting from the agreed upon purchase price of the remaining 80% interest in Verdient Foods, Inc. The Company expects to complete the acquisition during Q4 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $28 million and $41 million of pre-tax restructuring charges, respectively. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $14 million of net restructuring related expenses as part of the Cost Smart cost of sales program, including $6 million of employee-related costs and accelerated depreciation as part of the closure of our Lane Cove, Australia facility. Additionally, we recorded $4 million of employee-related costs in South America and APAC, and $4 million of other costs, including professional services, within the Cost Smart cost of sales program. The Company also recorded $14 million of restructuring related costs as part of the Cost Smart SG&A program, including $7 million of employee-related severance and $7 million of other costs, including professional services, primarily in North America and South America. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $41 million of restructuring charges including $20 million of employee-related and other costs, including professional services, associated with its Cost Smart SG&A program, $18 million of other costs, including professional services, and employee-related costs associated with its Cost Smart cost of sales program, including the closure of the Lane Cove, Australia facility, and $3 million of other costs related to the Latin America finance transformation initiative.
(iii) The three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes the flow-through of costs associated with the purchase of PureCircle Limited inventory that was adjusted to fair value at the acquisition date in accordance with business combination accounting rules.
(iv) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $5 million of costs directly related to the early debt extinguishment of the $400 million 4.625% senior notes due November 1, 2020. The Company recorded the debt extinguishment charges within Financing costs, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
(v) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred storm damage to the Cedar Rapids, IA manufacturing facility. The facility was shut down for 10 days, and the storm related damage resulted in $2 million of charges during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company recorded the storm damage costs within Other expense (income), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
(vi) The tax item represents the impact of the Company’s use of the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for its subsidiaries in Mexico. Mexico’s effective tax rate is strongly influenced by the remeasurement of the Mexican peso financial statements into U.S. dollars. The company recorded a tax benefit of $6 million and a tax provision of $16 million three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the periods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company recorded a tax provision of $3 million and $2 million, respectively, as a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the periods.

Above is a reconciliation of our anticipated full year 2020 GAAP ETR to our anticipated full year 2020 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 include, but are not limited to, acquisition and integration costs, impairment and restructuring costs, and certain other special items. We generally exclude these items from our adjusted ETR guidance. For these reasons, we are more confident in our ability to predict adjusted ETR than we are in our ability to predict GAAP ETR.
For items (i) through (vii), see footnotes included in the Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income attributable to Ingredion and Diluted EPS to Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income attributable to Ingredion and Adjusted Diluted EPS.
