Ingredion Incorporated Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

  • Second quarter 2019 reported and adjusted EPS* were $1.56 and $1.66, respectively, compared with $1.57 and $1.66 in the second quarter 2018, respectively
  • Year-to-date 2019 reported and adjusted EPS were $3.04 and $3.20, respectively, down from $3.47 of reported EPS and down from $3.60 of adjusted EPS in the year-ago period
  • 2019 adjusted EPS expected to be in the range of $6.60-$6.90 reflecting moderate growth in the second half

WESTCHESTER, Ill., Aug. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ingredion Incorporated (http://www.ingredionincorporated.com/news-events.html) (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, today reported results for the second quarter 2019. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for 2019 and 2018, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.

"During the second quarter, we experienced foreign exchange impacts and rapidly changing raw material markets. Our teams have taken aggressive pricing actions to mitigate foreign exchange impacts. We experienced an increase in the net cost of corn in North America due to continued crop inventory imbalances arising from the U.S./China trade dispute. We are closely monitoring raw material markets and selectively capitalizing on opportunities to partially offset the higher cost of corn," said Jim Zallie (https://www.ingredionincorporated.com/AboutUs/executiveleadershipteam/Zallie.html), Ingredion's president and chief executive officer.

"As a result of the actions we took to accelerate our Cost Smart (https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/07/12/1536878/0/en/INGREDION-ANNOUNCES-125-MILLION-COST-SAVINGS-PROGRAM-TO-DRIVE-FURTHER-OPERATIONAL-EFFICIENCY-ANNOUNCES-PRELIMINARY-SECOND-QUARTER-EPS-AND-REVISES-ADJUSTED-EPS-GUIDANCE.html) savings program, we now expect to deliver $30 million to $40 million of 2019 year-end cumulative run-rate savings, an increase from the $24 million to $34 million of savings previously anticipated."

"Our specialty growth platforms delivered increased net sales in the quarter led primarily by sugar reduction and specialty sweeteners. We are nearing startup of Allulose (https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/12/05/1662425/0/en/INGREDION-INTRODUCES-ASTRAEA-ALLULOSE-NEW-RARE-SUGAR-PROVIDES-GREAT-TASTE-WITH-FEWER-CALORIES.html) production at our manufacturing facility in San Juan del Rio, Mexico, which will complement our existing portfolio of specialty sweeteners. In addition, we progressed our plant-based proteins (https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/12/13/1666706/0/en/INGREDION-INVESTS-140-MILLION-TO-ACCELERATE-GROWTH-IN-PLANT-BASED-PROTEINS.html) growth strategy and are actively filling our customer pipeline with anticipated sales in the second half of the year. We have also expanded our relationship with Verdient Foods to increase the capacity to produce food-grade, higher-value specialty pulse-based flours and concentrates."

"We expect modest growth in the second half of the year. However, due to the recent increase in corn costs, our expectation for net corn costs in the second half in North America is higher. Our adjusted EPS guidance for 2019 is now in the range of $6.60-$6.90," added 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, 2019, total debt and cash and short-term investments were $2.1 billion and $301 million, respectively, versus $2.1 billion and $334 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash and short-term investments was primarily due to the timing of changes in working capital and recent acquisitions and investments.
  • Net financing costs were $16 million, or $9 million lower in the second quarter from the year-ago period. This decrease resulted from foreign exchange gains lapping losses in the same quarter from the year-ago period, partially offset by higher net interest expense due to higher debt balances.
  • Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the quarter were each 29.6 percent compared to reported and adjusted effective tax rates of 31.4 percent and 30.5 percent, respectively, from the year-ago period. The decrease in reported and adjusted rates resulted from the relative lower valuation of the Mexican peso impacting the U.S. dollar denominated balances in Mexico. This was partially offset by a change in earnings mix and other factors.
  • Second quarter capital expenditures were $156 million, down $4 million from the year-ago period.
  • Cost Smart is now expected to deliver $30 million to $40 million of 2019 year-end cumulative run-rate savings, higher than the previously stated $24 million to $34 million target. Cost Smart is achieving structural cost savings by aligning people and processes to improve effectiveness and efficiency across the organization. For example, the Company's global business service center in Guadalajara, Mexico is now fully operational.

Net Sales

  • Second quarter and year-to-date net sales were down from the year-ago period. The decrease in net sales was driven by unfavorable foreign currency impacts and planned Stockton HFCS and industrial starch volume shed, partially offset by favorable price/mix due to pricing actions to mitigate foreign exchange impacts and higher net corn costs.

Operating income

  • Reported and adjusted operating income for the quarter were $168 million and $178 million, respectively, decreases of 13 percent and 11 percent, respectively, from the year-ago period. The decreases were largely attributable to foreign exchange impacts and higher raw material costs, partially offset by improved price/mix.
  • Year-to-date reported and adjusted operating income were $329 million and $344 million, respectively, decreases of 16 percent and 14 percent, respectively, from the year-ago period. The decreases were largely attributable to foreign exchange impacts and higher raw material and production costs, partially offset by improved price/mix.
  • Second quarter reported operating income was lower than adjusted operating income by $10 million due to restructuring costs related to the Cost Smart program and Western Polymer integration costs.

  • Year-to-date operating income was $264 million, a decrease of $29 million from the year-ago period. The decrease was driven by higher net corn costs due to lower co-product values, higher inventory and production costs, and a modest impact from the extreme weather in the U.S. and Canada.

Updated 2019 Outlook

The Company expects 2019 adjusted EPS to be in the range of $6.60-$6.90 compared to adjusted EPS of $6.92 in 2018. This expectation excludes acquisition-related, integration and restructuring costs, as well as any potential impairment costs. Compared with last year, the 2019 full-year outlook is as follows: North America operating income is expected to be down assuming current market conditions for corn and co-products, which have been negatively impacted by unprecedented weather and late crop plantings in the U.S. and continued crop inventory imbalances arising from the U.S./China trade dispute; South America operating income is expected to be flat reflecting macroeconomic challenges; Asia-Pacific operating income is expected to be down driven by foreign exchange rates, increased input costs and anticipated slower customer demand due to the regional impact of trade disputes; EMEA operating income is expected to be down due to foreign exchange, higher raw material cost and uncertainty around Brexit; adjusted effective tax rate is expected to be in the range of approximately 26.5-28.0 percent; and higher-value specialty ingredients are expected to deliver continued growth. The Company expects operating income to be up modestly in the second half of 2019 relative to 2018. Cash from operations is expected to be in the range of $610 million to $660 million. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be between $330 million and $360 million.

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, impairment and restructuring costs, 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.

Above is a reconciliation of our anticipated full year 2019 diluted EPS to our anticipated full year 2019 adjusted diluted EPS. 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 EPS guidance. For these reasons, we are more confident in our ability to predict adjusted EPS than we are in our ability to predict GAAP EPS.
(iii) Reflects expected costs related to the acquisition and integration of the business acquired from Western Polymer, LLC. and acquisitions to be determined.
(iv) Primarily reflects current estimates for 2019 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.
