Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Interim Financial Statements

References to the “Company,” “Ingredion,” “we,” “us,” and “our” shall mean Ingredion Incorporated (“Ingredion”) individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements contained in Ingredion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included herein were prepared by management on the same basis as Ingredion’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity and Redeemable Equity, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other future period.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Standards and Policies

For detailed information about Ingredion’s significant accounting standards and policies, see Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Ingredion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting standards and policies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

New Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the effect of adoption of ASU No. 2020-04 on our financial position and results of operations.

3. Acquisitions

PureCircle Non-Controlling Interests

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Ingredion purchased shares from minority shareholders in PureCircle Limited (“PureCircle”) for $27 million. The purchase increased our ownership percentage in PureCircle from 75 percent to 82 percent as of June 30, 2022.

Other Acquisitions

On April 1, 2021, Ingredion acquired KaTech, a privately held company headquartered in Germany. KaTech provides advanced texture and stabilization solutions to the food and beverage industry. To complete the closing, Ingredion made a total cash payment of $40 million, net of cash acquired, which we funded from cash on hand. The acquisition added $26 million of goodwill and intangible assets, as well as $14 million of tangible assets. Beginning at the acquisition date, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the effects of the acquisition and KaTech’s financial results, which we report in our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) reportable business segment.

Amyris Joint Venture

On June 1, 2021, Ingredion entered into an agreement with Amyris, Inc. (“Amyris”) for certain exclusive commercialization rights to Amyris’s rebaudioside M by fermentation product, the exclusive licensing of the product’s manufacturing technology and a 31 percent ownership stake in a joint venture for the products (the “Amyris joint venture”). In exchange, we contributed $28 million of total consideration, which included $10 million of cash, as well as non-exclusive intellectual property licenses and other consideration valued at $18 million. The transaction resulted in an $8 million gain recorded in Other operating (income) during the three months ended June 30, 2021, which included $18 million related to the non-exclusive intellectual property licenses, partly offset by the $10 million cash payment. Beginning June 1, 2021, Ingredion accounts for the investment under the equity method.

Argentina Joint Venture

On February 12, 2021, Ingredion entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Grupo Arcor, an Argentine food company, to establish Ingrear Holding S.A. (the “Argentina joint venture”), a joint venture to operate 5 manufacturing facilities in Argentina to sell value-added ingredients to customers in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. On August 2, 2021, Ingredion and Grupo Arcor completed all closing conditions, pending customary antitrust review, to combine the manufacturing facilities, finalize the transaction and formally establish the Argentina joint venture, which is managed by a jointly appointed team of executives and is accounted for under the equity method.

We exchanged certain assets and liabilities with a fair value of $71 million from our Argentina, Chile and Uruguay operations for 49 percent of the outstanding shares of the Argentina joint venture valued at $64 million, as well as $7 million of other consideration, including cash, from Grupo Arcor as of August 2, 2021. The transaction also resulted in an impairment charge for the transferred assets and liabilities more fully described in Note 5.

Beginning on the dates Ingredion entered into the agreements for equity method investees, our share of income from them is included in Other operating (income). Ingredion incurred an insignificant amount of pre-tax acquisition and integration costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and $1 million of pre-tax acquisition and integration costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, related to the acquisition and integration of the Amyris and Argentina joint ventures.

5. Restructuring and Impairment Charges

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Ingredion recorded $2 million and $4 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ingredion recorded $4 million and $374 million of pre-tax restructuring and impairment charges, respectively.

Restructuring Charges

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $2 million of pre-tax restructuring related charges, which were costs primarily associated with our Cost Smart selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) program. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $4 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges, which included $3 million of costs associated with our Cost Smart SG&A program and $1 million of costs as part of our Cost Smart Cost of sales program.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $4 million of pre-tax net restructuring-related charges. These costs included $4 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges associated with our Cost Smart SG&A program and $5 million of pre-tax restructuring-related charges as part of our Cost Smart Cost of sales program. The Cost Smart Cost of sales charges were offset by a $5 million gain on the sale of the Stockton, California land and building.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $14 million of pre-tax net restructuring-related charges, consisting of $9 million of costs associated with our Cost Smart SG&A program and $8 million of costs associated with our Cost Smart Cost of sales program. The Cost Smart Cost of sales charges were partly offset by a $5 million gain on the sale of the Stockton, California land and building. Ingredion also recorded $2 million of restructuring charges related to the Amyris joint venture transaction described in Note 4 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

A summary of Ingredion’s severance accrual at June 30, 2022, which we expect to fully pay in 2022, is as follows (in millions):


Balance in severance accrual as of December 31, 2021	$	3
Payments made to terminated employees		(2)
Balance in severance accrual as of June 30, 2022	$	1

Impairment Charges

At the announcement of our agreement to invest in the Argentina joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2021, we reclassified assets and liabilities we expected to contribute to the joint venture as held for sale in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded an impairment charge of $360 million based on our preliminary estimates of their fair value. Of the $360 million impairment charge for the net assets contributed to the Argentina joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2021, $311 million was related to the write-off of the cumulative translation losses associated with the contributed net assets and $49 million was related to the write-down of the contributed net assets.

6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Ingredion is exposed to market risk stemming from changes in commodity prices (primarily corn and natural gas), foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, we actively manage our exposure to these market risks by entering various hedging transactions authorized under established policies that place controls on these activities. These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties. We have no collateral to counterparties under collateral funding arrangements as of June 30, 2022. Derivative financial instruments used by Ingredion consist primarily of commodity-related futures, options and swap contracts, foreign currency-related forward contracts, interest rate swaps and treasury locks (“T-Locks”).

Commodity price hedging: Ingredion’s principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk relating to anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas to be used in the manufacturing process, generally over the next 12 to 24 months. We maintain a commodity-price risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by commodity-price volatility. To manage price risk related to corn purchases, primarily in North America, we use corn futures and option contracts that trade on regulated commodity exchanges to lock in corn costs associated with fixed-priced customer sales contracts. Ingredion also uses over-the-counter natural gas swaps in North America to hedge a portion of its natural gas usage. These derivative financial instruments limit the impact that volatility resulting from fluctuations in market prices will have on corn and natural gas purchases. Ingredion’s natural gas derivatives and the majority of its corn derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

For certain corn derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes, all realized and unrealized gains and losses from these instruments are recognized in cost of sales during each accounting period. We enter these derivative instruments to further mitigate commodity and basis price risks related to anticipated purchases of corn. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Ingredion recognized a $3 million loss and $1 million loss, respectively, on non-designated commodity contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Ingredion recognized an insignificant loss and $1 million loss, respectively, on non-designated commodity contracts.

Table of Contents

For commodity hedges designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, unrealized gains and losses associated with marking the commodity hedging contracts to market (fair value) are recorded as a component of Other comprehensive loss (“OCL”) and included in the equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). These amounts, as well as their related tax effects, are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, or in the period a hedge is determined to be ineffective. Ingredion assesses the effectiveness of a commodity hedge contract based on changes in the contract’s fair value. The changes in the market value of such contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in the price of the hedged items. Gains and losses from cash flow hedging instruments reclassified from AOCL to earnings are reported as Cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Ingredion had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 77 million and 135 million bushels of corn as of June 30, 2022 and December 31. 2021, respectively. Ingredion also had outstanding swap contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 38 million and 35 million mmbtus of natural gas as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Foreign currency hedging: Due to our global operations, including operations in many emerging markets, Ingredion is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, Ingredion has exposure to translational foreign-exchange risk when the results of its foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars and to transactional foreign-exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency are revalued. Ingredion’s foreign-exchange risk management strategy uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to manage its transactional foreign exchange risk. Ingredion enters into foreign currency derivative instruments that are designated as both cash flow hedging instruments as well as instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes in order to mitigate transactional foreign-exchange risk. Gains and losses from derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes are marked to market in earnings during each accounting period.

Ingredion hedges certain assets using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, which had a notional value of $414 million and $360 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Ingredion also hedges certain liabilities using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $255 million and $205 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31 2021, respectively.

Ingredion hedges certain assets using foreign currency derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes, which had a notional value of $358 million and $505 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Ingredion also hedges certain liability positions using foreign currency derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes, which had a notional value of $518 million and $708 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Interest rate hedging: Ingredion assesses its exposure to variability in interest rates by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rates that may adversely impact future cash flows and the fair value of existing debt instruments and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Ingredion’s risk management strategy is to monitor interest rate risk attributable to both Ingredion’s outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as Ingredion’s offsetting hedge positions. Derivative financial instruments that have been used by Ingredion to manage its interest rate risk consist of interest rate swaps and T-Locks.

Ingredion periodically enters into interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate changes. The changes in fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the variability in the fair value of outstanding debt obligations are reported in earnings. These amounts offset the gains or losses (the changes in fair value) of the hedged debt instruments that are attributable to changes in interest rates (the hedged risk), which are also recognized in earnings. Ingredion did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Ingredion periodically enters into T-Locks to hedge its exposure to interest rate changes. The T-Locks are designated as hedges of the variability in cash flows associated with future interest payments caused by market

Table of Contents

fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate until the fixed interest rate is established and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the T-Locks are recorded to AOCL until the consummation of the underlying debt offering, at which time any realized gain (loss) is amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. During 2020, Ingredion entered into and settled T-Locks associated with the issuance of senior notes due in 2030 and 2050. The realized loss upon settlement of the T-Locks was recorded in AOCL and is amortized into earnings over the term of the senior notes. Ingredion did not have outstanding T-Locks as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges included in AOCL as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are reflected below:

7. Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches. The hierarchy of those valuation approaches is in three levels based on the reliability of inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Below is a summary of the hierarchy levels:

●

Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

●

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are presented below:


	As of June 30, 2022								As of December 31, 2021
(in millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Long-term debt		1,601		—		1,601		—		1,957		—		1,957		—

The carrying values of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate fair values. Commodity futures, options and swaps contracts are recognized at fair value. Foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options are also recognized at fair value. The fair value of Ingredion’s Long-term debt is estimated based on quotations of major securities dealers who are market makers in the securities.

On July 27, 2021, Ingredion established a commercial paper program under which Ingredion may issue senior unsecured notes of short maturities up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1 billion outstanding at any time. The notes may be sold from time to time on customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper market. Ingredion intends to use the note proceeds for general corporate purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the average amount of commercial paper outstanding was $425 million with an average interest rate of 0.74 percent and a weighted average maturity of 19 days. As of June 30, 2022, $558 million of commercial paper was outstanding with an average interest rate of 2.02 percent and a weighted average maturity of 17 days. As of December 31, 2021, $250 million of commercial paper was outstanding with an average interest rate of 0.35 percent and a weighted average maturity of 40 days. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under this program in 2022 is expected to fluctuate.

Other short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, primarily include amounts outstanding under various unsecured local country operating lines of credit.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

In May 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court (“Court”) issued its ruling related to the calculation of certain indirect taxes, which affirmed the Federal Court of Appeals (“Lower Court”) rulings that Ingredion had in previous years and affirmed that Ingredion is entitled to previously recorded tax credits. The Court ruling affirmed that Ingredion is entitled to $15 million of additional credits from the period of 2015 to 2018 that were previously unrecorded pending a final Court ruling. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, Ingredion recorded the $15 million of additional credits within Other operating (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Ingredion had $29 million and $41 million, respectively, of remaining indirect tax credits recorded in Other assets and Prepaid expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These credits resulted in an insignificant amount and $5 million of deferred income taxes as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We will use the income tax offsets to eliminate our Brazilian federal tax payments in 2022 and future years, including the income tax payable for the indirect taxes recovered.

10. Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the U.S. Treasury published final foreign tax credit regulations that limit our ability to claim foreign tax credits from certain countries, primarily in South America. As a result, we recorded a provisional tax liability during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and will continue to assess the impact of the regulations on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.

12. Equity

Treasury stock: On October 22, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program permitting Ingredion to purchase up to 8 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from November 5, 2018 through December 31, 2023. The parameters of Ingredion’s stock repurchase program are not established solely with reference to the dilutive impact of shares issued under Ingredion’s stock incentive plan. However, Ingredion expects that, over time, share repurchases will offset the dilutive impact of shares issued under the stock incentive plan.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 502 thousand and 957 thousand outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $44 million and $83 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 107 thousand and 265 thousand outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $10 million and $24 million, respectively.

Stock Options: Under Ingredion’s stock incentive plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices that equal the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The options have a 10-year term and are exercisable upon vesting, which occurs over a three-year period at the anniversary dates of the date of grant. Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis for all awards over the employee’s vesting period or over a one-year required service period for certain retirement-eligible executive level employees. Ingredion estimates a forfeiture rate at the time of grant and updates the estimate throughout the vesting period of the stock options within the amount of compensation costs recognized in each period.

Ingredion granted non-qualified options to purchase 281 thousand shares and 358 thousand shares for the first six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair value of each option grant for the periods presented was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Expected life (in years)	5.5		5.5
Risk-free interest rate	2.0	%	0.6	%
Expected volatility	23.8	%	23.2	%
Expected dividend yield	2.9	%	2.9	%

The expected life of options represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and Ingredion’s historical exercise patterns. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date for the period corresponding to the expected life of the options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of Ingredion’s common stock. Dividend yields are based on Ingredion’s dividend yield at the date of issuance.

Stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:


	Number of Options (in thousands)	Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Outstanding as of December 31, 2021	2,154	$	90.39	5.26	$	26

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash received from the exercise of stock options was approximately $3 million. As of June 30, 2022, the unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options totaled $5 million, which is expected to be amortized over the weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.

Additional information pertaining to stock option activity is as follows for the periods presented:

Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised	$	1	$	1	$	2	$	6

Restricted Stock Units: Ingredion has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain key employees. The RSUs are primarily subject to cliff vesting, generally after three years, provided the employee remains in the service of Ingredion. The fair value of the RSUs is determined based upon the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of Ingredion’s common stock at the date of the grant.

The following table summarizes RSU activity in 2022:


(RSUs in thousands)	Number of Restricted Shares	Weighted Average Fair Value per Share
Non-vested as of December 31, 2021	486	$	88.34
Granted	203		88.86
Vested	(126)		91.28
Cancelled	(34)		86.85
Non-vested as of June 30, 2022	529	$	87.94

As of June 30, 2022, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs was $26 million, which will be amortized on a weighted-average basis over approximately 2.0 years.

Performance Shares: Ingredion has a long-term incentive plan for senior management in the form of performance shares. The vesting of the performance shares is generally based on 2 performance metrics. NaN percent of the performance shares awarded vest based on Ingredion’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of its peer group and the remaining 50 percent vest based on the calculation of Ingredion’s three-year average Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (“Adjusted ROIC”) against an established ROIC target.

For the 2022 performance shares awarded based on Ingredion’s total shareholder return, the number of shares that ultimately vest can range from 0 to 200 percent of the grant depending on Ingredion’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of its peer group. The share award vesting will be calculated at the end of the three-year period and is subject to approval by management and the People, Culture and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Compensation expense is based on the fair value of the performance shares at the grant date, established using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The total compensation expense for these awards is amortized over a three-year graded vesting schedule.

Table of Contents

For the 2022 performance shares awarded based on Adjusted ROIC, the number of shares that ultimately vest can range from 0 to 200 percent of the grant depending on Ingredion’s Adjusted ROIC performance against the target. The share award vesting will be calculated at the end of the three-year period and is subject to approval by management and the People, Culture and Compensation Committee. Compensation expense is based on the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant and the final number of shares that ultimately vest. Ingredion will estimate the potential share vesting at least annually to adjust the compensation expense for these awards over the vesting period to reflect Ingredion’s estimated Adjusted ROIC performance against the target. The total compensation expense for these awards is amortized over a three-year graded vesting schedule.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Ingredion awarded 86 thousand performance shares at a weighted average fair value of $138.85 per share. As of June 30, 2022, the unrecognized compensation cost related to these awards was $14 million, which will be amortized over the remaining requisite service period of 2.1 years. The 2019 performance share awards, whose three-year performance period has ended, achieved a 0 percent payout of granted performance shares. There were 1 thousand performance shares cancelled during 2022.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Ingredion” mean Ingredion Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Ingredion is a leading global ingredients solutions provider that transforms corn, tapioca, potatoes, plant-based stevia, grains, fruits, gums and vegetables into value-added ingredients and biomaterials for the food, beverage, brewing and other industries. Our Purpose is to bring the potential of people, nature and technology together to make life better. As of June 30, 2022, we have 45 manufacturing facilities located in North America, South America, Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and we manage and operate our businesses at a regional level. We believe this approach provides us with a unique understanding of the cultures and product requirements in each of the geographic markets in which we operate, bringing added value to our customers.

Ingredion has been navigating evolving global conditions that have varying impacts on our customers, suppliers, employees, operations and, ultimately, our profitability and cash flows. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we continued to achieve strong price mix and higher volumes, which included increased prices for our products to manage the effects of increasing corn and freight costs. Although a portion of our revenues and costs are established with fixed-rate contracts, our ability to respond to changing customer demands, increasing inflation, fluctuating foreign exchange rates, and shifting supply chain channels were affected by a variety of factors, including the ongoing, global pandemic with new variants of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Our results for the current period benefited from strong price mix and volume growth, which more than offset higher raw material input costs. Our net sales of $2,044 million for the second quarter of 2022 were over 16 percent higher than our net sales of $1,762 million for the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher volumes and stronger price mix, including the pass-through of higher corn costs. The net sales increase contributed to $23 million of higher gross profit during the current period when compared to the second quarter of 2021. Our operating income of $213 million for the second quarter of 2022 declined from operating income of $222 million for the second quarter of 2021. Excluding a one-time benefit of $15 million recorded during the second quarter of 2021 in other operating (income) related to Brazil indirect taxes, operating income increased during the current period. Net income attributable to Ingredion for the second quarter of 2022 was $142 million, or $2.12 diluted earnings per share, which was a decrease from $178 million, or $2.62 diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2021. Excluding the reversal of tax liabilities related to certain unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries during the second quarter of 2021 and the Brazil indirect taxes, our results for the current period reflected higher net income attributable to Ingredion as well as a higher diluted earnings per share.

Results of Operations

We have significant operations in four reporting segments: North America, South America, Asia-Pacific and EMEA. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the U.S. dollar amounts of our foreign subsidiaries’ revenues and expenses. For most of our foreign subsidiaries, the local foreign currency is the functional currency. Accordingly, revenues and expenses denominated in the functional currencies of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable average exchange rates for the period.

We acquired KaTech on April 1, 2021, and the results of the acquired business are included in our consolidated financial results beginning on the acquisition date, which inclusion affects the comparability of results between years. In addition, we entered into the Argentina joint venture on February 12, 2021, which closed on August 2, 2021, and the Amyris joint venture on June 1, 2021. Our share of results in joint ventures is classified as other operating (income) and comparability between years and between financial statement line items is affected by the timing of and consideration provided to the investments. While we identify fluctuations due to the acquisitions in our discussion below, we also address results of operations excluding the impact of our acquisitions and investments, where appropriate, to provide a more comparable and meaningful analysis.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

With Comparatives for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net sales. Net sales increased 16 percent to $2,044 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,762 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by strong price mix, including the pass-through of higher corn and input costs.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by 19 percent to $1,654 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cost of sales of $1,395 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of sales primarily reflected higher net corn costs. Our gross profit margin of 19 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022, decreased from 21 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by higher corn and input costs.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 7 percent to $179 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $167 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher inflationary costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was 9 percent for both the three months ended June 30, 2022, and the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Other operating (income). Other operating (income) decreased to $(4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $(26) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $(15) million of Other operating (income) related to Brazil indirect tax credits and an $(8) million net gain as part of the formation of the Amyris joint venture.

Restructuring and impairment charges. Restructuring and impairment charges were $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. These charges decreased due to the wind-down of our Cost Smart restructuring program.

Financing costs. Financing costs decreased 11 percent to $17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $19 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to higher foreign exchange losses in the prior year compared to foreign exchange losses in the current year.

Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased to 26.0 percent from 11.7 percent during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily driven by a discrete tax benefit of $30 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to the reversal of an accrual for withholding tax on the unremitted earnings of a foreign subsidiary.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests were $3 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2022, and the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Net income attributable to Ingredion. Net income attributable to Ingredion for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was $142 million compared to a net income of $178 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded several non-recurring items including: the $30 million discrete tax benefit, $15 million of income related to Brazil indirect tax credits and the $8 million net gain from the formation of the Amyris joint venture. Excluding these items, net income increased due to strong price mix, offset in part by higher corn and input costs.

Segment Results

North America

Net sales. North America’s net sales increased 20 percent to $1,284 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1,068 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a 19 percent improvement in price mix and a 1 percent increase in volume.

Operating income. North America’s operating income was $161 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $149 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Operating income. Asia-Pacific’s operating income decreased 13 percent to $21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by higher corn and input costs in Korea, COVID-19 disruptions in China and foreign currency headwinds.

EMEA

Despite unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of 14 percent, the increase was driven by a 20 percent higher price mix and a volume increase of 4 percent.

Operating income. EMEA’s operating income decreased 9 percent to $29 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $32 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Favorability in Europe was more than offset by unfavorable Pakistan results and foreign exchange headwinds across the region.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

With Comparatives for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net sales. Net sales increased 17 percent to $3,936 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3,376 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net sales was driven by strong price mix, including the pass through of higher corn and input costs.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by 19 percent to $3,167 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cost of sales of $2,658 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of sales primarily reflected higher net corn costs. Our gross profit margin of 20 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased from 21 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by higher corn and input costs.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 9 percent to $348 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $320 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to higher inflationary costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were approximately 9 percent for both the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Table of Contents

Restructuring and impairment charges. Restructuring and impairment charges were $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $374 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The charges we incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily driven by an impairment charge of $360 million for net assets from our Argentina business we contributed to the Argentina joint venture, of which $311 million was related to the write-off of the cumulative translation losses associated with the contributed net assets and $49 million was related to the write-down of the contributed net assets to fair value.

Financing costs. Financing costs increased 8 percent to $41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher foreign exchange losses in the current year compared to the prior year. Third party financing costs were flat due to a higher average debt balance and lower weighted average interest rate during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased to 27.4 percent from 464.7 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The primary cause of the decrease in the effective tax rate was the $360 million impairment charge related to net assets contributed to the Argentina joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2021, that did not have a corresponding income tax benefit. The effect of this charge was partially offset by a discrete tax benefit of $30 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to the reversal of an accrual for withholding tax on the unremitted earnings of a foreign subsidiary.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $6 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net Income attributable to Ingredion. Net income attributable to Ingredion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $272 million compared to a net loss of $(68) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net loss in the prior year period was largely attributable to the $360 million impairment charge for the Argentina assets contributed to the Argentina joint venture that we recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Operating income. EMEA’s operating income decreased 5 percent to $60 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $63 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had total available liquidity of approximately $1,484 million. Domestic liquidity of $452 million consisted of $10 million in cash and cash equivalents and $442 million of short-term borrowing availability through our $1 billion commercial paper program, under which $558 million of borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 2022. The commercial paper program, which we initiated on July 27, 2021, is backed by $1 billion of borrowing availability under a five-year revolving credit agreement that we entered into on June 30, 2021.

We had international liquidity as of June 30, 2022 of approximately $1,032 million, consisting of $308 million of cash and cash equivalents and $4 million of short-term investments held by our operations outside the U.S., as well as $720 million of unused operating lines of credit in the various foreign countries in which we operate. As the parent company, we guarantee certain obligations of our consolidated subsidiaries, which totaled $66 million as of June 30, 2022. We believe that such consolidated subsidiaries will be able to meet their financial obligations as they become due.

As of June 30, 2022, we had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.4 billion, or $1.7 billion excluding the outstanding commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. Of our outstanding debt, $1.7 billion consists of senior notes that do not require principal repayment until 2026 through 2050. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our debt.

The principal source of our liquidity is our internally generated cash flow, which we supplement as necessary with our ability to borrow under our credit facilities and commercial paper program and to raise funds in the capital markets. We currently expect that our available cash balances, future cash flow from operations, access to debt markets and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our anticipated capital expenditures, dividends and other investing and financing activities for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future cash flow needs will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of our expansion into new markets, the timing of introductions of and rate of success for new products, potential acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies, continuing market acceptance of our new products and general economic and market conditions. We may need to raise additional capital or incur indebtedness to fund our needs for less predictable strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions.

Net Cash Flows

Our short-term borrowing increased $344 million, which we primarily used to invest in capital expenditures and mechanical stores purchase, pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock and fund operating activities. Our cash used by operating activities was $4 million during the first half of 2022 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $129 million during the first half of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital of $459 million through the first half of 2022, which were primarily attributable to increases in trade accounts receivable and inventory. Working capital for trade accounts receivable increased due to higher pricing and higher freight costs for products sold during the first half of 2022. Working capital for inventory increased due primarily to higher input costs from raw materials during the first half of 2022.

We used $144 million of cash for capital expenditures and mechanical stores purchases to update, expand and improve our facilities in the first half of 2022, as compared to $117 million that we paid in the first half of 2021 for capital expenditures and mechanical stores. Capital investments for full year 2022 are anticipated to be between $290 million and $320 million.

We declare and pay cash dividends to our common stockholders of record on a quarterly basis. On May 20, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.65 per share of common stock. This dividend was paid on July 26, 2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 1, 2022. Dividends paid, including those to noncontrolling interests, were $90 million for the first half of 2022, compared to $93 million for the first half of 2021.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 502 thousand outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $44 million, as compared to repurchases of 107 thousand outstanding shares of common stock at a net cost of $10 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 957 thousand outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $83 million, as compared to repurchases of 265 thousand outstanding shares of common stock at a net cost of $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

We have not provided foreign withholding taxes, state income taxes and federal and state taxes on foreign currency gains/losses on accumulated undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because these earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings. We do not anticipate the need to repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective in providing reasonable assurance that all information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (b) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In 2015 and 2016, Ingredion self-reported certain monitoring and recordkeeping issues relating to environmental regulatory matters involving its Indianapolis, Indiana manufacturing facility. In September 2017, following inspections and the provision by Ingredion of requested information to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA"), the EPA issued Ingredion a Notice of Violation, which included additional alleged violations beyond those self-reported by Ingredion. These additional alleged violations primarily relate to the results of stack testing at the facility. The allegations in the Notice of Violation, whether from the self-reported information, the inspections or the additional requested information, are not material to us. The EPA has referred the overall matter to the U.S. Department of Justice, Environment and Natural Resources Division (the "DOJ"). The DOJ and Ingredion are engaged in discussions with respect to a resolution of this matter.

We are currently subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to labor matters, certain environmental proceedings and commercial claims. We also routinely receive inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of our business, including with respect to compliance with laws and regulations relating to the environment, and at any given time, we have matters at various stages of resolution with the applicable governmental authorities. The outcomes of these matters are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. We do not believe that the results of currently known legal proceedings and inquires will be material to us. There can be no assurance, however, that such claims, suits or investigations or those arising in the future, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A

RISK FACTORS

We caution readers that our business activities involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently expected by management. During 2022, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2021 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022.
