WESTCHESTER, Ill., July 28, 2016 - Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, today reported results for the second quarter 2016. GAAP results for 2016 and 2015 include items which are excluded from non-GAAP results. Adjusted earnings per share, adjusted operating income, and adjusted effective tax rates are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures in Note III at the end of this release for more information.
"We delivered another strong quarter with solid operating income and earnings per share. More favorable price/product mix across the portfolio, as well as margin expansion propelled by our global optimization efforts all contributed to increases in profitability," said Ilene Gordon, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "North America, Asia Pacific and EMEA achieved record operating income for the quarter while operating income was lower in South America as that region faced macroeconomic and foreign-exchange headwinds.
"As we continue to execute our strategic blueprint, we expect a strong year and are raising our anticipated 2016 adjusted EPS, now to a range from $6.70 to $6.90," Gordon added.

Financial Highlights
- At June 30, 2016, total debt and cash and short-term investments were $1.83 billion and $507 million, respectively, versus $1.84 billion and $440 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015. Cash and short-term investments were higher primarily driven by higher net income.
- During the second quarter of 2016, net financing costs were $19 million, or $2 million higher than the year-ago period, largely due to foreign exchange losses.
- For the second quarter of 2016, reported and adjusted effective tax rates were 32.8 percent and 32.0 percent, respectively, compared to reported and adjusted effective tax rates of 30.3 percent and 30.5 percent, respectively, in the year-ago period. The higher rates were primarily driven by greater earnings in higher-tax jurisdictions as well as the devaluation of the Mexican peso during the quarter partially offset by the adoption of a new accounting standard for share-based compensation.
- Capital expenditures were $125 million for the first half of 2016, approximately in line with the year-ago period.
Business Review
Total Ingredion
| $ in millions | 2015 Net sales | FX Impact | Volume | Price/mix | 2016 Net sales | % change |
| Second quarter | 1,449 | -69 | -9 | 84 | 1,455 | 0% |
| Year-to-date | 2,779 | -183 | 46 | 173 | 2,815 | 1% |
Net Sales
- Second quarter net sales were up slightly as a result of improved price/mix in North America and South America and a more favorable product mix in both specialty and core ingredients. These factors were offset predominantly by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and organic volume declines attributable to the sale of our Port Colborne, Canada, facility and macroeconomic headwinds in South America.
- Year-to-date net sales were up as a result of improved price/mix in North America and South America, a more favorable product mix in both specialty and core ingredients, as well as acquisition-related growth. These factors were mostly offset by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and organic volume declines attributable to the sale of our Port Colborne, Canada, facility and macroeconomic headwinds in South America.
Operating income
- Second quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $198 million and $211 million, respectively. These were 15 percent and 17 percent increases, respectively, compared to $173 million of reported operating income and $180 million of adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2015. The increases in operating income were primarily due to better price/product mix in both our specialty and core ingredients and reduced costs resulting from our global optimization efforts. These positives were partially offset by the negative effect of foreign exchange and macroeconomic headwinds in South America.
- Year-to-date 2016 reported and adjusted operating income were $398 million and $412 million, respectively. These were 28 percent and 22 percent increases, respectively, compared to $312 million of year-to-date 2015 reported operating income and $337 million of year-to-date 2015 adjusted operating income. The increases in operating income were primarily due to a better price/product mix in both our specialty and core ingredients, acquisition-related growth, and reduced costs resulting from our global optimization efforts. These positives were partially offset by the negative effect of foreign exchange and macroeconomic headwinds in South America.
- Second quarter reported operating income was lower than adjusted operating income by $13 million. Of this difference, $8 million is related to employee-related severance and other costs associated with the execution of global IT outsourcing contracts; $3 million of employee-related severance costs associated with South American restructuring; and $2 million in charges related to the finalization of the transaction related to the prior year net gain on the sale of our plant in Port Colborne, Canada.
North America
| $ in millions | 2015 Net sales | FX Impact | Volume | Price/mix | 2016 Net sales | % change |
| Second quarter | 869 | -5 | -4 | 34 | 895 | 3% |
| Year-to-date | 1,623 | -14 | 52 | 74 | 1,735 | 7% |
Operating income
- Second quarter operating income increased from $127 million to $160 million. Better price/product mix in both our specialty and core ingredients, cost synergies related to the Penford acquisition, as well as operational efficiencies driven by our network optimization efforts accounted for the increase.
- Year-to-date operating income increased from $229 million to $309 million. Higher acquisition-related volumes, a better price/product mix in both our specialty and core ingredients, cost synergies related to the Penford acquisition, as well as operational efficiencies driven by our network optimization efforts accounted for the increase.
South America
| $ in millions | 2015 Net sales | FX Impact | Volume | Price/mix | 2016 Net sales | % change |
| Second quarter | 250 | -54 | -14 | 59 | 240 | -4% |
| Year-to-date | 508 | -142 | -29 | 117 | 455 | -10% |
Operating income
- Operating income in the second quarter was $14 million, down $6 million from a year ago. The decline was largely a result of lower volumes in Southern Cone driven by macroeconomic headwinds, and higher costs for corn and other inputs. This was partially mitigated by improved price/mix.
- Year-to-date operating income was $32 million, down $13 million from a year ago. The decline was largely a result of the negative effect of foreign exchange, lower volumes in Southern Cone driven by macroeconomic headwinds, and higher costs for corn and other inputs. This was partially mitigated by improved price/mix.
Asia Pacific
| $ in millions | 2015 Net sales | FX Impact | Volume | Price/mix | 2016 Net sales | % change |
| Second quarter | 192 | -8 | 4 | -8 | 180 | -6% |
| Year-to-date | 379 | -20 | 4 | -14 | 349 | -8% |
Operating income
- Second quarter operating income was $30 million, up $2 million from a year ago. Year-to-date operating income was $58 million, up $4 million from a year ago. In both periods, volume growth and margin expansion were partially offset by foreign exchange impacts.
Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA)
| $ in millions | 2015 Net sales | FX Impact | Volume | Price/mix | 2016 Net sales | % change |
| Second quarter | 138 | -3 | 6 | -1 | 140 | 2% |
| Year-to-date | 269 | -8 | 19 | -5 | 276 | 2% |
Operating income
- Second quarter operating income was $29 million, up $6 million from a year ago. Year-to-date operating income was $55 million, up $10 million from a year ago. In both periods, volume growth and margin expansion more than offset foreign exchange impacts.
2016 Guidance
2016 adjusted EPS, excluding acquisition-related, integration, and restructuring costs as well as any potential impairment costs, is expected to be in the range of $6.70 to $6.90 compared to adjusted EPS of $5.88 in 2015. The full-year guidance assumes, compared to last year: overall improvement in North America, Asia Pacific and EMEA, and South America down given the macroeconomic environment; an effective tax rate of approximately 30-32 percent; and continued trade up in our portfolio, including higher-value specialty ingredients, leading to margin expansion.
In 2016, cash generated by operations is expected to be in the range of $725 million to $775 million and capital expenditures are anticipated to be $300 million.
