Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Statement Presentation
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Innophos have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP)("US GAAP") for interim financial reporting and do not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company at December 31, 20162017 and for the three years then ended.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments which management considers necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods and is subject to year-end adjustments. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The December 31, 20162017 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adopted
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance which requires entities to measure most inventory “at the lower of cost and net realizable value (“NRV”),” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under the new guidance, inventory is “measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value,” which eliminates the need to determine replacement cost and evaluate whether it is above the ceiling (NRV) or below the floor (NRV less a normal profit margin). The guidance defines NRV as the “estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.” The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We have elected to early adopt for testing dates after January 1, 2017 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
Issued but not yet adopted
In May 2014, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the effective date of this guidance by one year (with an option to early adopt at the original effective date), making it effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. As a result, this guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018, with an option to early adopt in fiscal year 2017. The guidance permits the use of

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet Please see Note 3, "Revenues", for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. While we are continuing to assess the effect of adoption, we currently believe the most significant changes relate to the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for railcar and tank operating leases. We will continue to evaluate the impact of adoption of the ASU on our financial position, results of operations and relatedfurther disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Clarification on Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments on the Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of contingent consideration arising from a business combination, insurance settlement proceeds, and distributions from certain equity method investees. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating theThe Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of adopting this new accounting guidance on our consolidated financial statements.operations and related disclosures.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which reduces the complexity in the accounting standards by allowing the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Historically, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. This amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. There are no new disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted in the first interim period of 2017.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Under the ASU, changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents would be included along with those of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which narrows the existing definition of a business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business. The ASU requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities (collectively, the set) is not a business. To be considered a business, the set would need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The standard also narrows the definition of outputs. The definition of a business affects areas of accounting such as acquisitions, disposals and goodwill. Under the new guidance, fewer acquired sets are expected to be considered businesses.

All other components of net periodic benefit cost (interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of net loss) will be presented in other income -(loss), net.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting, which requires all modifications to be accounted for as a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the award as equity or liability are the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities. This standard more closely aligns the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. This standard also addresses specific limitations in current GAAP by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. Additionally, by aligning the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item for cash flow and net investment hedges, and by including the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is presented, the results of an entity’s hedging program and the cost of executing that program will be more visible to users of financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

2. Acquisitions
On August 25, 2017, the Company acquired 100 percent100% of the outstanding shares of GenNx Novel Holding, Inc. (together with its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, "Novel Ingredients"). Novel Ingredients was a privately-held specialty ingredients supplier of botanicals, proteins, amino acids and other healthy ingredients, as well as branded ingredient and custom formulated solutions, headquartered in East Hanover, NJ. The Company made aan initial $125 million cash payment, subject tosubsequently adjusted lower by $1.3 million for post-closing working capital adjustments, whichfor total consideration of $123.7 million. The acquisition was funded by borrowings under its existing credit facility. The addition of Novel Ingredients grows Innophos' Food, Health, and Nutrition ("FHN") portfolio, expanding its presence in high-growth nutrition end-markets and positioning the Company to more effectively develop innovative ingredient solutions that better serve its customers. Novel Ingredients serves attractive end-markets driven by health and wellness consumer trends such as immune health, sports nutrition, and cognitive health.
On November 3, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of NutraGenesis LLC, Icon Group LLC, and Tradeworks Group, Inc. (collectively referred to as "NutraGenesis"). NutraGenesis was a privately-held Vermont-based marketer of proprietary, branded and science-backed nutraceutical ingredients. The Company made a $27.4 million cash payment, subject to post-closing working capital adjustments, which was funded by borrowings under its existing credit facility. NutraGenesis is highly complementary to the Novel Ingredients acquisition and the Company's branded ingredients portfolio. NutraGenesis serves attractive high-growth end-markets, including stress reduction, weight management, joint health, brain health and metabolic wellness, that are driven by health and wellness consumer trends.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Company's results of operations included revenues of $10.2$33.6 million and a $0.6$0.9 million net lossincome attributable to Novel Ingredients. Acquisition related costs of $2.4 million (excluding integration costs of $0.6 million) were expensed as incurredIngredients and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.NutraGenesis.
The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition and will be included in the Food, Health and Nutrition operating segment. The goodwill of $55.1$68.3 million arising from the acquisitionacquisitions consists of expected revenue and cost synergies, operational know-how, and acquired workforce. Approximately $24.0 million of the goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

In preparing the preliminary fair value estimates of the intangible assets and certain tangible assets acquired, management consulted with an independent third party. The purchase price and related allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary pending finalization of the fair values assigned to the intangible assets and the valuation of the working capital components acquired as of the acquisition date.
From previous asset acquisitions, Novel Ingredients has amortizable goodwill and intangible assets that will continue to provide tax amortization deductions in future years. However, the excess of purchase price over the corresponding tax basis resulting from this acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes. In addition, Novel Ingredients has Net Operating Loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $16.4 million that are expected to be utilized in future periods. The deferred income tax balances are preliminary pending management's final analysis and preparation of the final period tax return.
The intangible assets acquired with Novel Ingredients and NutraGenesis include the following (in thousands):

3. Revenue Recognition

Adoption of ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Based on the results of the analysis performed on the Company's effective contracts as of the initial application, the Company has concluded that revenues are expected to remain substantially unchanged from the previous revenue recognition model, and therefore, the adoption of the new standard does not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of goods is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Control passes either upon shipment or delivery, depending on the agreed sales terms with customers.

Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. The Company believes there will not be significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration.

The Company reports its business in three operating segments: Food, Health, and Nutrition; Industrial Specialties; and Other. The Company has three principal product lines within these operating segments: (i) Specialty Ingredients; (ii) Core Ingredients; and (iii) Co-Products and Other. Revenue recognition is measured on the same basis across these segments, products, markets, and geographic countries, with the performance obligation being the transfer of control of goods at a single point in time.

3.4. Earnings per Share (EPS)
The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, which requires two calculations of earnings per share (EPS)("EPS") to be disclosed: basic EPS and diluted EPS. Under ASC Subtopic 260-10-45, unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as ourthe Company's restricted stock, are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating EPS. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.
The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share is net earnings attributable to shareholders reduced by dividends attributable to unvested shares. The denominator for basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. The denominator for diluted earnings per share is weighted average shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options, performance share awards and restricted stock awards.

5. Stockholders’ Equity / Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted Stock
In April and May 2017, there were a total of 30,612 restricted shares granted to certain employees with a fair value of $1.6 million. These awards are classified as equity awards and vest annually over three years. The related compensation expense is based on the date of grant share prices of $52.51 and $48.42 for April and May, respectively. The compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period and accelerated for those employees that are retirement eligible during the vesting period.
Stock Options
In April and May 2017, the Company granted a total of 102,607 non-qualified stock options at exercise prices of $52.51 and $48.42 for April and May, respectively, to certain employees with a fair value of $1.2 million. The non-qualified stock options vest annually over three years with April 3, 2027 and May 1, 2027 expiration dates.
The fair values of the options granted in 2017 were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The blended assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows for the April 3, 2017 and May 1, 2017 grants:
Non-qualified stock options  
Expected Volatility 31.3%
Dividend Yield 3.6%
Risk-free interest rate 2.09%
Expected term (years) 6.6
Weighted average grant date fair value of stock options $11.54
For the 2017 grants, the expected volatility and the expected term are based on the Company's historical data. The dividend yield is the expected annual dividend payments divided by the average stock price since announcement of the latest dividend up to the date of grant. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury securities in effect on the date of grant whose maturity period equals the options expected term. The Company applies an expected forfeiture rate to stock-based compensation expense. The estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily upon historical experience of employee turnover. As actual forfeitures become known, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.
Performance Share Awards
In April and May 2017, the Company granted 22,958 performance shares to certain employees with a fair value of $1.3 million. The performance shares vest at the end of the three years performance cycle and the number of shares distributable depends on the extent to which the Company attains pre-established performance goals. Amounts equivalent to declared dividends will accrue on the performance shares and will vest over the same period.
Stock Grants
In May 2017, the seven external members of the Board of Directors were granted a combined total of 13,916 shares of the Company's common stock with an aggregated fair value of approximately $0.6 million which immediately vested as part of their director fees.

The Company's credit facility includes a revolving line of credit from the lenders of up to $450.0 million, including a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $20.0 million swingline loan facility, all maturing on December 22, 2021. The credit agreement governing this facility also provides for possible additional revolving indebtedness under an incremental facility of up to $150.0 million (for an aggregate of revolving capacity up to $600.0 million) upon future request by the Company to existing lenders (and depending on their consent) or from other willing financial institutions invited by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent to join in the credit agreement. This revolving credit facility increase, if implemented, may provide for higher applicable margins to either the increased portion or possibly the entire revolving credit facility, with limitations, than those in effect for the original revolving commitments under the credit agreement.
As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018, $295.0$345.0 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit, which approximates fair value (determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy) with total availability at $153.9$103.9 million, taking into account $1.1 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. The current weighted average interest rate for all debt is 2.8%4.0%.
Among its affirmative covenants, the credit agreement governing this credit facility requires the Company to maintain the following consolidated ratios (as defined and calculated according to the credit agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter:
(a) “Total Leverage Ratio” less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00.
(b) “Interest Coverage Ratio” greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Company was in full compliance with all debt covenant requirements.
In December 2012, Innophos entered into an interest rate swap, swapping the LIBOR exposure on $100.0 million floating rate debt, which is currently outstanding under the credit agreement, to a fixed rate to maturity obligation of 0.9475% expiring in December 2017. This interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge (Level 2) with the changes in value recorded through other comprehensive income. The fair value of this interest rate swap of approximately $0.1 million is recorded in other long-term assets as of September 30, 2017. Based on $195.0$345.0 million outstanding borrowings as floating rate debt, (amount not covered by the swap), an immediate increase of one percentage point would cause an increase to interest expense of approximately $2.0$3.5 million per year.
We manage our interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to the extent practicable consistent with our credit status.
Total interest paid by the Company for all indebtedness for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $4.3 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

13.14. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on income before taxes was approximately 32%30% for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared to approximately 32%28% for the comparable period in 2016.2017. The change in the components of the effective tax rate are primarily due to the adoptionenactment of ASU No. 2016-09, Improvementsthe Tax Act and changes in excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation. The reduction in the statutory U.S. Federal corporate tax rate and a change of mix of U.S. to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, changingforeign earnings resulted in an 8% decrease in the accounting foreffective tax benefits from stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock and performance awards, which decreasedrate. This was offset by the incremental U.S. tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) resulting in an increase to the effective tax rate by 2%,4%. Further, the rate increased 5% resulting from a permanent adjustment attributablesmaller excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Act. The Tax Act significantly changes U.S. corporate income tax laws by, among other things, reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and transitioning U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system.
Beginning in 2018, the Tax Act includes two new U.S. provisions, namely the GILTI provisions and the base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) provisions.
The GILTI provisions require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an inventory obsolescence reserve in Mexicoallowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions as a period cost.
The BEAT provisions in the priorTax Act eliminate the deduction of certain base-erosion payments made to related foreign corporations, and impose a minimum tax if greater than regular tax. The Company does not expect to have any material tax

impacts of BEAT and therefore has not recorded any related tax impacts in its consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2018.
On December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB 118 to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. In accordance with SAB 118 and ASU 2018-05, the Company has recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the re-measurement of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the one-time, mandatory transition tax on deemed repatriation during the year which decreasedended December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, we have not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to these items. Such adjustments may be necessary in future periods due to, among other things, the effective tax ratesignificant complexity of the Act and anticipated additional regulatory guidance that may be issued by 1%the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), changes in analysis, interpretations and assumptions the Company has made and actions the Company may take as compareda result of the Act. Any subsequent adjustment to lastthese amounts will be recorded within the one year and prior year tax return true-ups which increased the effective tax ratemeasurement period allowed by 3% as compared to last year.SAB 118.
Business is conducted in various countries throughout the world and is subject to tax in numerous jurisdictions. A significant number of tax returns are filed and subject to examination by various federal, state and local tax authorities. Tax examinations are often complex, as tax authorities may disagree with the treatment of items reported requiring several years to resolve. As such, the Company maintains liabilities for possible assessments by tax authorities resulting from known tax exposures for uncertain income tax positions. The Company’s policy is to accrue associated penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses and to accrue interest in net interest expense. Currently, the Company is under examination, or has been contacted for examination on income tax returns, for the years 2009 through 2015. Also, certain state income tax assessments are under protest and the Company believes its financial position is sustainable. The Company estimates the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $0.7$2.4 million during the next twelve months as a result of possible settlements of income tax authority examinations. Other than the items mentioned above, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, no material adjustments have been proposed to the Company's tax positions and the Company currently does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position during the next twelve months.
Income taxes paid were $14.03.4 million and $34.85.4 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2016March 31, 2017, respectively.

14.15. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
The Company's operations are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local and international environmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company's manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial use, and soil and groundwater contamination have or may have occurred in the past and might occur or be discovered in the future.
Environmental efforts are difficult to assess for numerous reasons, including the discovery of new remedial sites, discovery of new information and scarcity of reliable information pertaining to certain sites, improvements in technology, changes in environmental laws and regulations, numerous possible remedial techniques and solutions, difficulty in assessing the involvement of and the financial capability of other potentially responsible parties and the extended time periods over which remediation occurs. Other than the items listed below, the Company is not aware of material environmental liabilities which are probable and estimable. As the Company's environmental contingencies are more clearly determined, it is reasonably possible that amounts may need to be accrued. However, management does not believe, based on current information, that environmental remediation requirements will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Future environmental spending is probable at ourthe Company's site in Nashville, TN,Tennessee, the eastern portion of which had been used historically as a landfill, and a western parcel therein, previously acquired from a third party, which reportedly had housed, but no longer does, a fertilizer and pesticide manufacturing facility. We haveThe Company has an estimated liability with a range of $0.9 million-$1.3 million. The remedial action plan for that site has yet to be finalized, and as such, the Company has recorded a liability, which represents the Company's best estimate, of $1.1 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or EPA, and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, or LDEQ, with respect to certain manufacturing processes at the Company’s Geismar, Louisiana plant, including the Company’s handling of (i) filter material from an enclosed intermediate filtration step to further process merchant green phosphoric acid, or MGA, that the Company receives as raw material via pipeline from the adjacent site operated by PCS and (ii) the Company’s raffinate co-product that is separated in connection with its PPA production at the plant. The EPA and LDEQ, collectively with the United States Department of Justice, or DOJ, are collectively referred to as the Government Parties. This settlement resulted from years of negotiations between the Company and the Government Parties following inspections of the plant by the Government Parties in which they raised certain violations of the federal Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act. Prior to this settlement, in the course of discussions with the Government Parties, the EPA and the DOJ required that the Company undertake, as an interim measure, the construction of a new filter unit to replace the enclosed system and allow the removal and separate handling of the filter material. The Company built that unit, which has been operating since 2012. As part of the settlement, Innophos is implementing a deep well injection system, a solution approved by the EPA and LDEQ to handle the raffinate separated at the plant. Such system is expected to be completed by early 2018. The Company previously returned the raffinate to PCS under a long-term contract it has with PCS and can continue to do so until the Company receives the necessary approvals and permits to operate its deep well system. In connection with this settlement, the Company will pay a $1.4 million civil penalty, which is accrued in other current liabilities. The consent decree relating to this settlement was entered by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana on October 4, 2017. As such, the Company will pay the $1.4 million civil penalty on November 1, 2017.where otherwise noted)

Full Year 2017Recent Trends and Outlook
The proactive selling price increase program that was implemented in the fourth quarter of 2017 fiscalhas been effective in offsetting input cost increases in the first quarter. In response to the operating environment continuing to show cost inflation, the Company has taken further price increase actions in its specialty phosphates portfolio to take effect on June 1, 2018.
The Company continues to expect full year includes2018 revenue to grow 12% to 14% due to the annualized contributions from Novel Ingredientsacquisitions, favorable growth in both Q3the specialty nutrition end-markets served, and Q4 with estimated sales of $35 million.stabilization in the legacy business.
Q4Full year GAAP EPS is expected to reflect typical seasonality withmore than double in 2018. This includes an improvement in 2018 full year EPS of approximately $0.16 per diluted share due to the lower sequential sales and unfavorable mix.
Demand impact from the recent natural disasters is expected to carry into Q4 and forecasted to have an unfavorable $3 million effect on sales for the full year.
An estimated $3 million of Phase 2 Operational Excellence savings will take effect in 2017, $2 million of which will be recorded in Q4.Near term logistics savings are being impacted by lack of trucking equipment availability following recent hurricanes.effective tax rate.
The Company is planning aexpects free cash flow (net cash provided from operating activities plus cash used for capital expenditures) to be similar to prior year with capital cash outflow of approximately $45 million to principally support the strategic value chain repositioning and manufacturing stoppage in Q4 as a first step in a broader plant maintenance and supply chain optimization program that will be phased throughout 2018, demonstrating our continued commitment to our phosphates product portfolio. This stoppage will impact earnings adversely by approximately $4 million due to maintenance expense, lower fixed costs absorption and higher cost of externally sourced material.programs.

InnophosThe Company may from time to time seek to acquire or otherwise retire outstanding debt through privately negotiated transactions, exchanges or otherwise. Debt repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, Company liquidity requirements, restrictive financial covenants and other factors applicable at the time. The amounts involved may be material.

The Company’s available financial resources allow for the continuation of dividend payments, pursuit of acquisition
projects and further geographic expansion initiatives. We further believe that on hand cash combined with cash generated from
operations, including our Mexican operations, and availability under our revolving line of credit in our credit agreement, will be sufficient to meet our obligations such as debt service, tax payments, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. We expect to fund all these obligations through our existing cash, our future operating cash flows and our existing revolving line of credit. However, future operating performance for the Company is subject to prevailing
economic and competitive conditions and various other factors that are uncertain. If the cash flows and other capital resources
available to the Company, such as its revolving loan facility, are insufficient to fund our debt and other liquidity needs, the
Company may have to take alternative actions that differ from current operating plans.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
There have been no material changes from the critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
 
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations. Primary exposures include changes in interest rates, as borrowings under our credit agreement will bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin. We manage our interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to the extent practicable consistent with our credit status. For fixed-rate debt, interest rate changes do not affect earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating-rate debt, interest rate changes generally affect our earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had a $450.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $295.0$345.0 million of variable-rate debt was outstanding, which approximates fair value (determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy). Total remaining availability was $153.9$103.9 million, taking into account $1.1 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. In December 2012, Innophos entered into an interest rate swap, swapping the LIBOR exposure on $100.0 million of floating rate debt, which is currently outstanding under our current credit agreement, with a fixed rate of 0.9475% plus the applicable margin on the debt expiring in December 2017. This interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge with the changes in value recorded through other comprehensive income. The fair value of this interest rate swap of approximately $0.1 million (determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy) is recorded in other long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2017.
Changes in economic conditions could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing our interest expense on our revolving line of credit. Changes in economic conditions may also result in lower operating income, reducing our funds available for capital investment, operations or other purposes. In addition, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow and available borrowing capacity on our credit facility has been used to repurchase shares, pay dividends, fund capital expenditures, fund working capital needs and service debt, which may affect our ability to make future acquisitions. We have and may continue, from time to time usedbut presently do not, use interest rate protection agreements to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuation. Regardless of hedges, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings or net assets as a result of interest rate fluctuations. Based on $195.0$345.0 million outstanding borrowings as floating rate debt, (amount not covered by the swap), an immediate increase of one percentage point would cause an increase to interest expense of approximately $2.0$3.5 million per year.
We do not currently, but may from time to time, hedge our currency rate and energy risks.
We believe that our concentration of credit risk related to trade accounts receivable is limited since these receivables are spread among a number of customers and are geographically dispersed. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales in the last 3 years.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
The US Dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian and Mexican operations. Accordingly, these operations’ monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at current exchange rates, non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates and at historical exchange rates for the related revenue and expenses of non-monetary assets and liabilities. All transaction gains and losses are included in net income.
Our principal source of exchange rate exposure in our foreign operations consists of expenses, such as labor expenses, which are denominated in the foreign currency of the country in which we operate. A decline in the value of the US Dollar relative to the local currency would generally cause our operational expenses (particularly labor costs) to increase (conversely, a decline in the value of the foreign currency relative to the US Dollar would cause these expenses to decrease). We believe that normal exchange rate fluctuations consistent with recent historical trends would have a modest impact on our expenses, and would not materially affect our financial condition or results of operations. Nearly all of our sales are denominated in US Dollars and our exchange rate exposure in terms of sales revenues is minimal. However, the strength or weakness of the USDU.S. Dollar versus other currencies can affect our competitiveness in the USUnited States and export markets.
Inflation and changing prices
Our costs and expenses will be subject to inflation and price fluctuations. Significant price fluctuations in raw materials, freight and energy costs, if not compensated for by cost savings from production efficiencies or price increases passed on to customers, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as “structured finance or special purpose entities”, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Control and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements and filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Company completed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
The Company acquired Novel Ingredients on August 25, 2017 and NutraGenesis on November 3, 2017, both wholly owned subsidiaries, and is in the process of evaluating and integrating these companies into the Company’s existing internal controls over financial reporting. The Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018 will include Novel Ingredients and NutraGenesis, and the Company will disclose any material changes in its internal controls over financial reporting with respect to Novel Ingredients and NutraGenesis in future interim quarters and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
