WESTCHESTER, Ill., Aug. 06, 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 second quarter of 2024. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.

“In the second quarter, Ingredion achieved significant growth, led by Texture & Healthful Solutions, which experienced 8% sales volume growth year over year," stated Jim Zallie, president and CEO of Ingredion. “Additionally, our Food & Industrial segments were well positioned to respond to robust customer demand and delivered exceptionally strong profit growth.”

“In the quarter, we also deployed strategic capital to support future organic growth in texture solutions, and in line with our sugar reduction strategy, we further increased our ownership in PureCircle to 98%. Our organization is benefiting from our new segments as we increasingly leverage our global operating model and drive innovative ways to strengthen customer engagements for future growth. Our Driving Growth Roadmap continues to guide our strategic actions to create long-term shareholder value.”

“Last quarter marked the launch of our Cost2Compete program, aimed at achieving $50 million in run-rate savings by the end of 2025. Our initiatives to date have realized $18 million in run-rate savings, which will provide additional leverage for the remainder of the year,” Zallie concluded.

*Adjusted financial measures 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.

Net Sales

  • Second quarter and year-to-date net sales were down from the year-ago period 9% and 11%, respectively. The decreases were driven by price mix primarily from lower raw material costs and lost sales volume from the sale of South Korea, partially offset by volume increases.
     

Operating Income

  • Second quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $240 million and $270 million. The difference in reported operating income versus adjusted in the period was primarily attributable to the impairment of an equity method investment and the impact of tornado damage to a U.S. warehouse. Adjusted operating income increased 8% versus the prior year driven by lower raw material and input costs and higher volume, partially offset by price mix. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were down 4% and up 8%, respectively, from the same periods last year.
  • Year-to-date reported and adjusted operating income were $453 million and $486 million, a decrease of 16% and 11%, respectively, versus the year-ago period. The decreases were due to price mix partially offset by lower raw material and input costs. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were down 17% and 12%, respectively, from the same periods last year.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

In the first half of 2024, the Company paid $104 million in dividends to shareholders and announced a quarterly dividend of $0.78 per share that was paid on July 23, 2024. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $65 million of outstanding shares of common stock.

Updated Third Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Outlook

For the third quarter of 2024, excluding the effects of the sale of the South Korea business, the Company expects net sales to be flat, and reported and adjusted operating income to be up high double-digits.

The Company now expects its full-year 2024 reported EPS to be in the range of $10.20 to $10.70, which includes the impact of the gain on the sale of the South Korea business completed on February 1, 2024.

The Company anticipates adjusted EPS to be in the range of $9.70 to $10.20. Excluding the effects of the sale of the South Korea business, the Company expects full-year 2024 net sales to be down 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 expected to be up low single-digits.

For full-year 2024, the Company now expects a reported and adjusted effective tax rate of 27.0% to 28.0%, and 26.5% to 27.5%, respectively.

Cash from operations for full-year 2024 is now expected to be in the range of $800 million to $950 million. Capital expenditures for the full year are still expected to be approximately $340 million.
