- First quarter 2021 reported and adjusted EPS* were $(3.66) and $1.85, respectively, compared to first quarter 2020 reported and adjusted EPS of $1.11 and $1.59, respectively. Double-digit adjusted EPS growth reflects specialties ingredients momentum and strong execution across the Company’s regions.
- Related to the Arcor joint venture announcement, reported results reflect a $360 million held for sale impairment charge, including $311 million of cumulative translation losses.
- The Company expects second quarter 2021 net sales and operating income to be up significantly due to volume recovery and specialties growth when compared to the second quarter of 2020.
WESTCHESTER, Ill., May 4 (Korea Bizwire) – 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 2021. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for 2021 and 2020, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.
“We delivered an outstanding first quarter with significant net sales and adjusted operating income growth, our best quarter since 2018. Operating income grew across all four regions, and our results reflect exceptionally strong performance in South America and Asia-Pacific,” said Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and chief executive officer.
“We continued to execute on our Driving Growth Roadmap, delivering specialty ingredients growth that was underpinned by double-digit growth in Asia-Pacific and South America. As a result of our unwavering determination to expand our consumer preferred specialty offerings, our sugar reduction sales were up over 200 percent versus prior year. Additionally, we recently broadened our Food Systems platform with the acquisition of KaTech, an innovative supplier of customized ingredient blends which enhance texture and provide stabilization. KaTech adds a European hub to complement our existing U.S. and Asia food systems’ operations,” continued Zallie.
“We are actively engaged in new product development through our strong customer partnerships with robust project pipelines to meet resurging consumer demand. We remain focused on delivering consumer preferred innovation through customer co-creation. As we re-imagine the future of work for our employees, we are doing so with customer centricity, speed and agility,” Zallie concluded.
*Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted operating income, adjusted effective income tax rate and adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 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 GAAP measures.

Dividend and Share Repurchases
In March 2021, the Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.64 per share, totaling $44 million. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $14 million of outstanding shares of common stock.
2021 Second Quarter Outlook and Full-Year Perspective
For the second quarter, the Company expects net sales to increase 20 to 30 percent and operating income growth to be slightly better than net sales growth, when both are compared to the prior year.
In light of anticipated first half performance, the Company expects full-year net sales to be up low double-digits, driven by the pass through of higher corn costs, strong price mix and volume recovery. For the full-year, the Company expects adjusted operating income to be up mid-single-digits, driven by specialty ingredients growth, other volume recovery and Cost Smart savings, partially offset by anticipated higher corn costs in the second half of the year. Due to the continued uncertain environment, the Company is not currently providing guidance for full-year 2021 EPS and cash flow from operations.
Full year corporate costs are expected to be flat. The Company expects the reported effective tax rate of 70 percent to 75 percent and adjusted effective tax rate of 28.0 percent to 29.0 percent. With the expected close of the Arcor joint venture, the Company anticipates the South America segment performance, financing costs, and tax rate reporting will be updated in the second half of the year.
Capital investment commitments are expected to be between $330 million and $350 million.

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 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. | ||||||||||||||

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $14 million of pre-tax restructuring/impairment charges, consisting of $9 million of restructuring related expenses as part of its Cost Smart cost of sales program and $5 million of employee-related and other costs, including professional services, associated with its Cost Smart SG&A program. | ||||||||||||||
(iii) During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $360 million held for sale impairment charge related to the Arcor joint venture. The impairment charge reflects write-down to fair value of the contribution of certain Argentina, Chile and Uruguay assets and liabilities that will be contributed to the Arcor joint venture. The impairment charge reflects a $49 million write-down of the contributed net assets to the agreed upon fair value and a $311 million valuation allowance for the cumulative translation losses related to these net assets that will be released from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss on the balance sheet at the close of the transaction. | ||||||||||||||
(iv) 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 discrete tax provision of $3 million and $22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the periods. | ||||||||||||||
(v) If GAAP net income is negative and Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income is positive, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding will include any options, restricted share units, or performance shares that would be otherwise dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method, until the effect of these adjustments is anti-dilutive. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 the incremental dilutive share impact of these instruments was 0.6 million shares of common stock equivalents. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 67.3 million would increase to an adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of 67.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There is no impact to the three months ended March 31, 2020. | ||||||||||||||

Above is a reconciliation of our anticipated full year 2021 GAAP ETR to our anticipated full year 2021 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. | ||||||
