WESTCHESTER, Ill., Aug. 4 (Korea Bizwire) – Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to the food manufacturing industry, today reported results for the second 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.

“As an essential business in the food supply chain, we quickly adapted to meet the changing needs of our customers due to fluctuations in consumer demand resulting from COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions around the globe,” stated Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, we experienced the significant decline in away-from-home consumption that impacted global demand for ingredients, primarily in April and May. Since then, we have seen sequential improvement in June and July as the restrictions ease and consumer mobility increases.”

“We remain focused on optimizing for the new reality, working virtually with customers to co-create, and taking advantage of opportunities to drive simplification and efficiencies in our business. As a result, we raised our Cost Smart savings target from $150 million to $170 million by 2021. We also strengthened our balance sheet and lowered our future financing costs through a $1 billion senior notes offering,” continued Zallie.

“With the completion of our acquisition of PureCircle, a global leader in the stevia natural sweetener space, we continued to advance our long-term strategies for driving specialties growth. In addition, we commenced an $85 million expansion investment in China, one of the largest and fastest growing starch markets, to further grow our starch-based texturizer platform. We will continue to pursue M&A opportunities while remaining disciplined in our capital allocation approach.”

“Despite the uncertainty that lies ahead, I am confident that with our talented and dedicated employees, the actions we are taking are the right ones to innovate for customers, deliver quality ingredients and solutions, and emerge from this pandemic better positioned for success,” 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 June 30, 2020, total debt and cash and short-term investments were $2.6 billion and $1.0 billion, 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. On July 9, 2020, the Company applied net proceeds of the new debt issuance to redeem in full $400 million of the November 2020 senior notes.
  • Net financing costs were $19 million, or $3 million higher in the second quarter from the year-ago period. This increase resulted from foreign exchange losses compared to the gains from the same year-ago period, partially offset by lower net interest expense due to lower interest rates.
  • Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the quarter were both 28.7 percent, compared to reported and adjusted effective tax rates of 29.6 percent each from the year-ago period. The decrease in reported and adjusted tax rates resulted from a reduction in the Company’s U.S. global intangible low-taxed income.
  • Year-to-date capital expenditures were $175 million, up $19 million from the year-ago period.
  • On July 1, 2020, the Company closed its previously announced acquisition of PureCircle for a total cash payment of $222 million.

Net Sales

  • Second quarter and year-to-date net sales were down from the year-ago period. The decrease was primarily driven by sales volume declines in North America and South America.

  • Second quarter operating income was $13 million, a decrease of $3 million from the year-ago period.

Excluding foreign exchange impacts, segment operating income was up 6 percent.
  • Year-to-date operating income was $39 million, an increase of $5 million from the year-ago period due to favorable price/mix, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts.

Operating income

  • Second quarter operating income was $21 million, down $2 million from the year-ago period. The decrease was largely attributable to stay-at-home orders impacting production and sales in Pakistan, partially offset by strong pricing actions and strong EMEA specialty sales volume. Excluding foreign currency impacts, segment operating income was flat.
  • Year-to-date operating income was $48 million, an increase of $1 million from a year ago. The increase was largely attributable to Pakistan pricing actions and strong EMEA specialty sales volume, partially offset by the impacts of stay-at-home orders on Pakistan production and sales volume, and negative foreign currency impacts. Excluding foreign currency impacts, segment operating income was up 9 percent.

Dividends
In May 2020, the Company maintained the quarterly dividend at $0.63 per share and paid dividends of $45 million in the second quarter and $87 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 adverse impacts from COVID-19 on net sales across our operating segments during the second half, with recovery in sales generally correlated with easing of restrictions and increased consumer mobility. With prevailing pandemic case rates across many countries, we expect away-from-home consumption to continue to be suppressed, reducing volumes for ingredients that are formulated for food and beverages consumed away-from-home. We anticipate demand for food consumed in home to remain elevated, increasing volumes for ingredients that are part of the recipes for these meals.

For the full year, we expect a reported tax rate of 29 percent to 32.7 percent and an adjusted effective tax rate range of approximately 26 percent to 27 percent, excluding PureCircle.

Capital expenditures for the full year are anticipated to be between $290 million to $310 million, of which more than $100 million is being invested to drive 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 discrete 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.

(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 second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded $11 million of pre-tax restructuring/impairment charges, consisting of $6 million of restructuring related expenses primarily in APAC and North America 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $25 million of pre-tax restructuring/impairment charges, consisting of $15 million of restructuring related expenses primarily in APAC and North America as part of its Cost Smart cost of sales program and $10 million of employee-related and other costs, including professional services, associated with its Cost Smart SG&A program.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded $9 million and $13 million of pre-tax restructuring charges, respectively. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $6 million of other costs, including professional services, and employee-related severance in the North America and South America segments as part of its Cost Smart SG&A program and finance transformation initiative and $3 million of other costs, including professional services, related to its Cost Smart cost of sales program. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the $13 million of restructuring charges consisted of $9 million of costs associated with its Cost Smart SG&A program and Finance Transformation initiative and $4 million of costs associated with its Cost Smart cost of sales program.

 
                         
(iii) The discrete 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. A $22 million discrete tax provision was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the period, compared to a $1 million discrete tax benefit recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

to Anticipated Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (“Adjusted ETR”)
(Unaudited)

Above is a reconciliation of our anticipated full year 2020 GAAP ETR to our anticipated full year 2020 adjusted ETR, excluding the impact of the July 1, 2020 acquisition of PureCircle Limited. 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.
       
(i) Reflects costs related to the acquisition and integration of business acquired from PureCircle Limited.
       
(ii) Reflects current estimates for 2020 restructuring charges related to the Cost Smart Cost of Sales & SG&A programs. As specific projects within these programs are approved, the estimates will be reviewed and may be subject to revision.
       
(iii) Estimated impact of the change in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. Because the Company uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for its subsidiaries in Mexico, its effective tax rate is strongly influenced by the remeasurement of the Mexican peso financial statements into U.S. dollars. The change in the Mexican peso produced substantial taxable translation gains or losses on net-U.S.-dollar-monetary assets held in Mexico for which there are no corresponding gain in pre-tax income.
       
(iv) This relates to other tax settlements and the reversal of interest and penalties for tax reserves.
       
(v) Indirect impact of tax rate after items (i) through (iv).
