New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

In July 2015,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2015-11, Inventory2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 330)848): SimplifyingFacilitation of the MeasurementEffects of Inventory. This Update requires an entityReference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to measure inventoryease 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, 2024. We adopted ASU 2020-04 at the lowerbeginning of cost and net realizable value, removing the consideration of current replacement cost. It is effective forour 2023 fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this Update in the current year and itthis ASU did not have a material impact on our audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Accounting Standards:

In May 2014,September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The amendments require filers to disclose information about supplier finance programs that introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosuresis sufficient to enableallow financial statement users to understand their nature, activity during the nature, amount, timing,period, changes from period to period and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changespotential magnitude. The amendments in judgments, and assets recognized fromthis update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The FASB has also issued additional ASUs to provide further updates and clarification to this Update, including ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20. This standardamendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.2023. We planadopted the updates to the standard at the beginning of our 2023 fiscal year and will adopt the standard as ofamendment on rollforward information in the effective date. The standard will allow various transition approaches upon adoption. We plan to use the modified retrospective approach for the transition to the new standard. Based on the analysis performed by the Company to date, our assessment is that the adoption of the guidance in this Update isfuture. These updates did not expected to have a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The disclosure required by the recently adopted accounting standard is reflected in Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We are currently assessing the impact of the rollforward information amendment on the Company’s revenue recognition timing or amounts, as we have not identified any changes to the recognition of revenue for existing customer contracts.

our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016,August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes Topic 840, Leases. This Update increases the transparency2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60). The amendments in this update require that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. By applying a new basis of accounting, a joint venture, upon formation, will recognize and comparability of organizations by recognizing leaseinitially measure its assets and lease liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. A joint venture that was formed before January 1, 2025 may elect to apply the balance sheet for leases longer than 12 months and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. This Update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.amendments retrospectively. We currently plan to adopt this ASU on a prospective basis at the standard asbeginning of the effective date. Adoptionour 2025 fiscal year and do not believe it will require a modified retrospective approach for the transition. We expect the adoption of the guidance in this Update to have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as operating leases will be recognized both as assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We are in the process of quantifying the magnitude of these changes and assessing the implementation approach for accounting for these changes.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This Update simplifies the subsequent measurement of Goodwill as the Update eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, under the Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should then recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value,

with the loss recognized not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This Update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This Update requires an entity to change the classification of the net periodic benefit cost for pension and postretirement plans within the statement of income by eliminating the ability to net all of the components of the costs together within operating income. The Update will require the service cost component to continue to be presented within operating income, classified within either cost of sales or operating expenses depending on the employees covered within the plan. The remaining components of the net periodic benefit cost, however, must be presented in the statement of income as a non-operating income (loss) below operating income. The Update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only within the first interim period for public entities. We plan to adopt this Update in 2018. When adopted, the new guidance must be applied retrospectively for all income statement periods presented. The Update will reduce the Company’s operating income and will require a new financial statement line item below operating income within the Condensed Consolidated StatementsFinancial Statements.

 3. Acquisitions
PureCircle Non-Controlling Interests
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, Ingredion purchased shares from minority shareholders in PureCircle Limited (“PureCircle”) for the non-operating income (loss) components. Net income within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income will not change upon adoption of the Update.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This Update modifies accounting guidance for hedge accounting by making more hedge strategies eligible for hedge accounting, amending presentation and disclosure requirements, and changing how companies assess ineffectiveness. The intent is to simplify the application of hedge accounting and increase transparency of information about an entity’s risk management activities. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of assessing the effects of these updates including potential changes to existing hedging arrangement, as well as the implementation approach for accounting for these changes.

3.     Acquisitions

On March 9, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Sun Flour Industry Co., Ltd. (“Sun Flour”) in Thailand for $18$2 million. Upon closing, the Company paid $13 million in cash and recorded $5 million in accrued liabilities for deferred payments due to the previous owner. The Company funded the acquisition primarily with cash on hand. The acquisition of Sun Flour adds a fourth manufacturing facility toThese purchases increased our operations in Thailand. Sun Flour produces rice-based ingredients used primarily in the food industry. The results of the acquired operation are included in the Company’s consolidated resultsownership percentage from the acquisition date forward within the Asia Pacific business segment. 

On December 29, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of TIC Gums Incorporated (“TIC Gums”), a privately held, U.S.-based company that provides advanced texture systems to the food and beverage industry, for $396 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition adds a manufacturing facility in both the U.S. and China. The Company funded the acquisition with proceeds from borrowings under its revolving credit agreement. The results of the acquired operations are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the respective acquisition dates forward within the North America and Asia Pacific business segments.

On November 29, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Shandong Huanong Specialty Corn Development Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Huanong”) in China for $12 million in cash. The Company funded the acquisition primarily with cash on hand. The acquisition of Shandong Huanong, located in Shandong Province, adds second manufacturing facility to our operations in China. It produces starch raw material for our plant in Shanghai, which makes value-added ingredients for the food industry. The results of the acquired operation are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the acquisition date forward within the Asia Pacific business segment.

A preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was made based on available information and incorporating management’s best estimates. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each acquisition in the transactions are generally recorded at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisitions were expensed as incurred.

The purchase accounting for TIC Gums is still open, pending finalization of goodwill and taxes. All of the recorded assets and liabilities, including working capital, property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), goodwill, and intangibles, are open for performing purchase accounting adjustments for Sun Flour. Purchase accounting adjustments for Shandong Huanong remain open to finalize the valuation of intangible assets.

Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill results from synergies and other operational benefits expected to be derived from the acquisitions. The goodwill related to TIC Gums and Shandong Huanong is tax deductible due to the structure of the acquisitions. The goodwill related to Sun Flour is not tax deductible.

The identifiable intangible assets for the acquisition of TIC Gums included items such as customer relationships, trade names, and proprietary technology. The fair values of these intangible assets were determined31, 2022 to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for fair value estimates to be made in situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for an asset or liability at the measurement date. The following table presents the fair values, valuation techniques, and estimated remaining useful life at the acquisition date for these Level 3 measurements (dollars in millions):

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company implemented an organizational restructuring effort in Argentina in order to achieve a more competitive cost position. The Company notified the local labor union of a planned reduction in workforce, which resulted in a strike by the labor union and an interruption of manufacturing activities during the second quarter of 2017. The Company finalized a new labor agreement with the labor union in the second quarter, ending the strike on June 1, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded total pre-tax restructuring-related charges in Argentina of $17 million for employee-related severance and other costs.

6. FinancialDerivative Instruments Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is

We are 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, the Companywe actively manages itsmanage our exposure to these market risks by entering into various hedging transactions authorized under established policies that place clear controls on these activities. These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties. DerivativeWe use derivative financial instruments currently used by the Companythat consist of commodity-related futures, options and swap contracts, foreign currency-related forward contracts, interest rate swaps and Treasury lock agreementstreasury locks (“T-Locks”).

Commodity price hedging: The Company’sOur principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk in North America relating to anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas that we intend to be useduse 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, the Company useswe use corn futures and optionsoption contracts that trade on regulated commodity exchanges to lock-in itslock in corn costs associated with firm-pricedfixed-priced customer sales contracts. The Company usesWe use soybean oil and soybean meal futures contracts in North America that trade on regulated commodity exchanges to hedge sales of our co-products. We also use over-the-counter natural gas swaps primarily in North America to hedge a portion of itsour natural gas usage in North America.usage. These derivative financial instruments limit the impact that volatility resulting from fluctuations in market prices will have on corn and natural gas purchases, as well as co-product sales. Our natural gas, soybean meal and the majority of our corn and soybean oil derivatives have been designated as cash-flow hedges. The Company also enters into futures contractscash flow hedging instruments.
For certain corn derivative instruments that are not designated as 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 hedgefurther mitigate commodity price risk associated with fluctuations inrelated to anticipated purchases of corn. During the market price of ethanol. Unrealizedthree and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an insignificant amount and a $1 million gain, respectively, on non-designated commodity contracts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a $3 million gain and $2 million gain, respectively, on non-designated commodity contracts.
For commodity hedges designated as cash flow hedges, unrealized gains and losses associated with marking the commodity hedging contracts to market (fair value) are recorded as a component of other comprehensive incomeloss (“OCI”OCL”) and included in the equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of accumulated other comprehensive income/

loss (“AOCI”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 monthperiod a hedge is determined to be ineffective. The Company assessesWe assess 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,

The amounts representingGains and losses from cash flow hedging instruments reclassified from AOCL to earnings are reported as Cash provided by operating activities on the ineffectivenessCondensed Consolidated Statements of these cash-flow hedges are not significant.

AtCash Flows.

We had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 58 million and 120 million bushels of corn as of September 30, 2017, AOCI included $5 million of losses (net of income taxes of $4 million), pertaining to commodities-related derivative instruments designated as cash-flow hedges. At December 31, 2016, the amount included in AOCI pertaining to these commodities-related derivative instruments designated as cash-flow hedges was not significant.

Interest rate hedging: Derivative financial instruments that have been used by the Company to manage its interest rate risk consist of interest rate swaps and T-Locks. The Company has interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rates on $200 million of its $400 million of 4.625 percent senior notes due November 1, 2020, to variable rates. These swap agreements call for the Company to receive interest at the fixed coupon rate of the respective notes and to pay interest at a variable rate based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate plus a spread. The Company has designated these interest rate swap agreements as hedges of the changes in fair value of the underlying debt obligations attributable to changes in interest rates and accounts for them as fair-value hedges. Changes in the 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 gain or loss (the change in fair value) of the hedged debt instrument that is attributable to changes in interest rates (the hedged risk), which is also recognized in earnings. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements at September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016 was  $32022, respectively. We also had outstanding swap contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 30 million and $331 million respectively, and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within other assets, with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amountmmbtus of the hedged debt obligations. The Company did not have any T-Locks outstanding atnatural gas as of September 30, 2017 or2023 and December 31, 2016.

At September 30, 2017, AOCI included $3 million of losses (net of income taxes of $2 million), related to settled T-Locks. At December 31, 2016, AOCI included $4 million of losses (net of income taxes of $2 million), related to settled T-Locks. These deferred losses are being amortized to financing costs over the terms of the senior notes with which they are associated.

2022, respectively.

Foreign currency hedging: Due to the Company’sour global operations, including operations in many emerging markets, it iswe are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, the Company haswe have exposure to translational foreign exchangeforeign-exchange risk when the results of itsour foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars and to transactional foreign exchangeforeign-exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency are revalued. The Company primarilyOur foreign-exchange risk management strategy uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to manage itsour transactional foreign exchange risk. At September 30, 2017, the Company had foreign currency forward sales contracts that are designated as fair value hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $447 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $173 million that hedged transactional exposures. At December 31, 2016, the Company had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $432 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $227 million that hedged transactional exposures. 

The Company also hasWe enter into foreign currency derivative instruments that hedge certain foreign currency transactional exposures and are designated as cash-flow hedges. At September 30, 2017, AOCI included an insignificant amount of losses relating to these hedges. At December 31, 2016, AOCI included $3 million of losses, net of tax, relating to these hedges.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 65 million bushels of corn and 20 million pounds of soybean oil. The Company is unable to directly hedge price risk related to co-product sales; however, it occasionally enters into hedges of soybean oil (a competing product to corn oil)as well as instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes in order to mitigate the price risktransactional 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 period.

We hedge certain assets using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of corn oil sales. The Company also had outstanding swap$463 million and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase$405 million as of approximately 21 million mmbtu’s of natural gas at September 30, 2017. Additionally at2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We also hedge certain liabilities using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $238 million and $239 million as of September 30, 2017,2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
We hedge certain assets using foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $594 million and $668 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We also hedge certain liability positions using foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $769 million and $840 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Interest rate hedging: We assess our exposure to variability in interest rates by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rates that may adversely impact future cash flows and the Company hadfair value of existing debt instruments and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our risk management strategy is to monitor interest rate risk attributable to our outstanding ethanol futures contractsand forecasted debt obligations as well as our offsetting hedge positions. Derivative financial instruments that hedgedwe have used to manage our interest rate risk consist of interest rate swaps and T-Locks.
We periodically enter into T-Locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes. The T-Locks are designated as hedges of the forecasted salevariability in cash flows associated with future interest payments caused by market 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 approximately 8 million gallonsthe T-Locks are recorded to AOCL until the consummation of ethanol.

Additional information relatingthe underlying debt offering, at which time any realized gain (loss) is amortized to earnings over the Company’slife of the debt. We have settled T-Locks associated with the issuance of our senior notes due in 2030 and 2050. The realized loss upon settlement of these T-Locks was recorded in AOCL and is amortized into earnings over the term of the senior notes. We did not have unsettled T-Locks as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 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 Company also has $1 millionhierarchy of lossesthose valuation approaches is in three levels based on settled T-Locks (netthe reliability of income taxesinputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of $1 million) recordedinput 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 AOCI at September 30, 2017, whichactive markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months. Additionally, at September 30, 2017, AOCIinputs other than quoted prices included an insignificant amount of losses related to foreign currency hedgeswithin Level 1 that are expected to be reclassified into earnings duringobservable for the next 12 months.

The notes may be sold from time to time on customary terms in the carrying valueU.S. commercial paper market. We use the note proceeds for general corporate purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the average amount of commercial paper outstanding was $438 million with an average interest rate of 5.25 percent and fair valuea weighted average maturity of 11 days. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the average amount of commercial paper outstanding was $489 million with an average interest rate of 1.50 percent and a weighted average maturity of 18 days. As of September 30, 2023, $333 million of commercial paper was outstanding with an average interest rate of 5.52 percent and a weighted average maturity of 14 days. As of December 31, 2022, $390 million of commercial paper was outstanding with an average interest rate of 4.75 percent and a weighted average maturity of 7 days. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under this program for the remainder of 2023 is expected to fluctuate.
Other short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 primarily include amounts outstanding under various unsecured local country operating lines of credit.
 9. Commitments and Contingencies
On October 30, 2023, we entered into a four-year collective bargaining agreement with the union at our Indianapolis manufacturing facility.
In October 2022, the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice issued a motion of clarification that certain tax incentives provided by local governments can be excluded from taxable income. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we filed an action for the right to recover previously taxable local government tax incentives granted during fiscal years 2018 to 2022. As our recovery is probable, we recorded a $27 million income tax benefit, which we expect to recover within five years. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $30 million and $27 million, respectively, of remaining tax incentives recorded within Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 11. Equity
Treasury stock: On September 26, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program permitting us to purchase up to 6 million shares of our outstanding common stock from September 26, 2022 through December 31, 2025. We may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices we deem appropriate. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares under the authorization, and the repurchase program may be suspended, discontinued, or modified at any time, for any reason and without notice. The parameters of our stock repurchase program are not established solely with reference to the dilutive impact of shares issued under our stock incentive plan. However, we expect that, over time, share repurchases will offset the dilutive impact of shares issued under the stock incentive plan.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 1.0 million outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $101 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 0.3 million and 1.3 million shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $29 million and $112 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units: The Company has We have 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 the Company. 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. The Company estimates a forfeiture rate at the time of grant and updates the estimate throughout the vesting of the RSUs within the amount of compensation costs recognized in each period.our service. The fair value of the RSUs is determined based upon the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of the Company’sour common stock at the date of the grant.

For the 2023 performance shares awarded based on Adjusted ROIC, the number of shares that ultimately vest can range from zero to 200 percent of the grant depending on our 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 Compensation Committee. We base compensation expense on the market price of our common stock on the grant date and the final number of shares that ultimately vest. We estimate the potential share vesting at least annually to adjust the compensation expense for these awards over the vesting period to reflect our estimated Adjusted ROIC performance against the target. We amortize the total compensation expense for these awards over a three-year graded vesting schedule.

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

Overview

We are

Ingredion is a major supplierleading global ingredients solutions provider that transforms corn, tapioca, potatoes, 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 high-quality foodpeople, nature and industrial ingredient solutionstechnology together to customers around the world. We have 44make life better. As of September 30, 2023, we had 47 manufacturing plantsfacilities located in North America, South America, Asia PacificAsia-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. Our ingredients are used by customers in
During the food, beverage, animal feed, paper and corrugating, and brewing industries, among others.

Our Strategic Blueprint continues to guide our decision-making and strategic choices with an emphasis on value-added ingredient solutions for our customers. The foundation of our Strategic Blueprint is operating excellence, which includes our focus on safety, quality and continuous improvement. We see growth opportunities in three areas. First is organic growth as we work to expand our current business. Second, we are focused on broadening our ingredient portfolio with on-trend products through internal and external business development. Finally, we look for growth from geographic expansion as we pursue extension of our reach to new locations. The ultimate goal of these strategies and actions is to deliver increased shareholder value.

We had a solid third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as2023, we achieved growth in net sales, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per common share grew fromwhen compared to the comparable 2016 periods. Our earnings growthsame quarter last year. The increase in our net sales was driven principally by continued strong operating results in our North America segment during the year,price and customer mix and impacts of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower earnings in our South America segmentvolumes. Cost of sales decreased primarily due to continued difficult macroeconomic conditionslower volumes, the effect of which was partially offset by higher input costs. These factors led to higher gross margins and increased costs in Argentina. The Company implemented an organizational restructuring effort in Argentina during the first quarter of 2017higher operating income compared to achieve a more competitive cost position in the region. We notified the local labor union of a planned reduction in workforce, which resulted in a strike by the labor union and an interruption of manufacturing activities during the second quarter of 2017. We finalized a new labor agreement with the labor union in the second quarter, ending the strike on June 1, 2017. The Company recorded total pre-tax employee-related severance and other costs in Argentina of $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,  related to the workforce reduction. Operating income also grew in our EMEA and Asia Pacific segments.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company announced a Finance Transformation initiative in the North America for the U.S. and Canada businesses to strengthen organizational capabilities and drive efficiencies to support the growth strategy of the Company. The Company recorded $4 million of employee-related severance and other restructuring costs during the third quarter of 2017 related to this initiative. We expect to incur between $3 million and $5 million2022.

Our net sales of additional employee-related severance and other costs in the fourth quarter of 2017 and between $1 million and $2 million in 2018 related to this initiative.

Our cash provided by operating activities decreased to $524$2,033 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017third quarter of 2023 grew by 1 percent compared to our net sales of $2,023 million for the third quarter of 2022. Our operating income of $213 million for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 17 percent from $542our operating income of $182 million infor the year-earlier period, driven bythird quarter of 2022. Net income attributable to Ingredion for the third quarter of 2023 was $158 million, which represented an increase of cash outflow49 percent from $106 million, for the third quarter of 2022. The increases in working capitalnet sales and operating income were primarily due to favorable price and customer mix, and lower costs for raw materials that more than offset lower sales volumes. The increase in net income was driven by these factors in addition to a more favorable effective tax rate primarily due to the outflow in accounts payablerecently issued IRS Notice 2023-55, which increased our ability to claim certain foreign tax credits against U.S. taxes, and accrued liabilities for the $63 million payment made to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in the third quarter of 2017 to complete the double taxation settlement between the U.S. and Canada.  This outflow was partially offset by increasedmore favorable country earnings in the period. Our cash used for financing activities increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to the repurchase of approximately one million shares of our common stock in open market transactions for $123 million during the first quarter of 2017. During the second and third quarters, we also refinanced a total of $500 million of senior notes with borrowings under our revolving credit facility and a new term loan entered into during the third quarter. 

On March 9, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Sun Flour Industry Co., Ltd. (“Sun Flour”) in Thailand for $18 million. Upon closing, the Company paid $13 million in cash and recorded $5 million in accrued liabilities for deferred payments due to the previous owner. The acquisition of Sun Flour adds a fourth manufacturing facility to our operations in Thailand. Sun Flour produces rice-based ingredients used primarily in the food industry.  This transaction will enhance our global supply chain and leverage other capital investments that we have made in Thailand to grow our specialty ingredients and service customers around the world. The acquisition did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the third quarter of 2017.

mix.

20


Looking ahead, we anticipate that our full year 2017 operating income and net income will grow compared to 2016. In North America, we expect full year operating income to increase driven by improved product mix and margins.  In South America, we believe that full year operating income will be down compared to 2016 driven by temporary higher-than-normal costs related to the interruption of manufacturing activities in Argentina and the restructuring charges incurred to improve the cost position of the operation in Argentina. We will continue to focus on network optimization and cost improvement in this segment for the remainder of the year. In the longer term, we believe that the underlying business demographics for our South American segment are positive. We expect full-year operating income to grow in EMEA principally driven by improved price/product mix from our specialty ingredient product portfolio, volume growth and effective cost control. In Asia Pacific, we expect full-year operating income to increase, driven by volume growth and effective cost control.

Results of Operations

We have significant operations in four reporting segments: North America, South America, Asia PacificAsia-Pacific and EMEA. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the U.S. dollar amounts of our foreign subsidiaries’ net sales and expenses. For most of our foreign subsidiaries, the local foreign currency is the functional currency. Accordingly, revenuesnet sales 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. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the U.S. dollar amounts of our foreign subsidiaries’ revenues and expenses. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, where significant, is provided below.

We acquired Shandong Huanong Specialty Corn Development Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Huanong”), TIC Gums Incorporated (“TIC Gums”)a controlling majority of Mannitab on December 1, 2022 and Sun Flourfully acquired Amishi on November 29, 2016, December 29, 2016 and March 9, 2017, respectively.August 1, 2022. For more information about these acquisitions, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. The results of the acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial results frombeginning on the respective acquisition dates, forward.which affects the comparability of results between years. In addition, our share of results in joint ventures is classified in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within Other operating (income) expense 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 impacts of acquisitions and investments on our results, our discussion below also addresses results of operations absent the impact of the acquisitions and the results of the acquired businesses,excluding those impacts, where appropriate, to provide a more comparable and meaningful analysis.

As of September 30, 2017,2023, we had total debt outstanding of $1,884 million, compared to $1,956 million at December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017approximately $2.4 billion, or approximately $1.9 billion excluding the outstanding commercial paper and other short-term borrowings.

senior notes that do not require principal repayment until 2026 through 2050. We also have a two-year, senior, unsecured $200 million term loan that matures in December 2024. The weighted average interest rate on our total indebtedness was approximately 4.14.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared2023 and approximately 3.3 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The principal source of our liquidity is our internally generated cash flow, which we supplement as necessary with our ability to 3.9 percentborrow under our credit facilities and commercial paper program and to raise funds in the comparable prior-year period.

On September 15, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.60 per share of common stock.  This dividend was paid on October 25, 2017 to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 2, 2017.

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 facilitiesfacility and commercial paper program will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our anticipated capital expenditures, dividends and other operating, investing and financing activities for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.

future thereafter. Our future cash flow needs will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, cost of raw materials, changing working capital requirements, the timing and extent of our expansion into new markets, the timing of introductions of 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 cash provided by operating activities was $647 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $80 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to changes in working capital and current period net income. Cash provided by changes in working capital increased by $473 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to decreases in inventory and trade accounts receivable, the effect of which was partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
We used $233 million of cash for capital expenditures and mechanical stores purchases to update, expand and improve our facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $203 million that we paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 for the same purposes. Capital investment commitments for 2023 are anticipated to be approximately $310 million.
We used $301 million of cash for financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and had cash provided by financing activities of $122 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The difference was primarily attributable to a net $57 million reduction of our commercial paper borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $372 million net borrowings of commercial paper during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
We declare and pay cash dividends to our common stockholders of record on a quarterly basis. Dividends paid, including those to non-controlling interests, was $143 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $133 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in dividend payments was due to an increase in our quarterly dividends rate to $0.71 per share of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $0.65 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. On August 7, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.78 per share of common stock, which was paid on October 24, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 2, 2023.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 1.0 million outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $101 million. During the three and nine months ended
28


September 30, 2022, we repurchased 0.3 million and 1.3 million shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $29 million and $112 million, respectively.

We have not provided foreign withholding taxes, state income taxes and federal and state income 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. Approximately $484 million of the total $505 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2017 was held by our operations outside of the U.S. We expect that available cash balances and credit facilities in the U.S., along with cash generated from operations and access to debt markets, will be sufficient to meet our operating and other cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Hedging

We are 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 into various hedging transactions, authorized under established policies that place clear controls on these activities. These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties. Our hedging transactions may include, but are not limited to, a variety of derivative financial instruments such as commodity-related futures, options and swap contracts, forward currency-related contracts and options, interest rate swap agreements and Treasury lock agreements (“T-Locks”). See Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. 

Commodity Price Risk: Our principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk in North America relating to anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas to be used in our manufacturing process. We periodically enter into futures, options and swap contracts for a portion of our anticipated corn and natural gas usage, generally over the following 12 to 24 months, in order to hedge price risk associated with fluctuations in market prices. We also enter into futures contracts to hedge price risk associated with fluctuations in the market price of ethanol. We are unable to directly hedge price risk related to co-product sales; however, we occasionally enter into hedges of soybean oil (a competing product to corn oil) in order to mitigate the price risk of corn oil sales. Unrealized gains and losses associated with marking our commodities-based derivative instruments to market are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). At September 30, 2017, our accumulated other comprehensive loss account (“AOCI”) included $5 million of losses, net of income taxes of $4 million, related to these derivative instruments. It is anticipated that these losses will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months. We expect the losses to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities costs.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk: Due to our global operations, including operations in many emerging markets, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, we have exposure to translational foreign exchange risk when our foreign operations’ results are translated to U.S. dollars and to transactional foreign exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the operating unit are revalued. We primarily use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to manage our foreign currency transactional exchange risk. At September 30, 2017, we had foreign currency forward sales contracts that are designated as fair value hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $447 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $173 million that hedged transactional exposures. 

We also have foreign currency derivative instruments that hedge certain foreign currency transactional exposures and are designated as cash-flow hedges. At September 30, 2017, AOCI included an insignificant amount of losses, net of income taxes, relating to these hedges.

We have significant operations in Argentina. We utilize the official exchange rate published by the Argentine government for re-measurement purposes. Due to exchange controls put in place by the Argentine government, a parallel market exists for exchanging Argentine pesos to U.S. dollars at rates less favorable than the official rate, although the difference in rates has decreased from past levels. 

Interest Rate Risk: We occasionally use interest rate swaps and T-Locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes, to reduce the volatility of our financing costs, or to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions. We did not have any T-Locks outstanding as of September 30, 2017. 

As of September 30, 2017, AOCI included $3 million of losses (net of income taxes of $2 million) related to settled T-Locks. These deferred losses are being amortized to financing costs over the terms of the senior notes with which

26


they are associated. It is anticipated that $1 million of these losses (net of income taxes of $1 million) will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.

As of September 30, 2017, we have interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rates on $200 million of our $400 million of 4.625 percent senior notes due November 1, 2020, to variable rates. These swap agreements call for us to receive interest at the fixed coupon rate of the respective notes and to pay interest at a variable rate based on the six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate plus a spread. We have designated these interest rate swap agreements as hedges of the changes in fair value of the underlying debt obligations attributable to changes in interest rates and account for them as fair-value hedges. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements was $3 million at September 30, 2017 and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within other assets, with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amount of the hedged debt obligations.

PART IIII. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1

1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In September 2022, following certain air emissions testing Ingredion performed at our Bedford Park, Illinois manufacturing facility, we reported to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (the “Illinois EPA”) that certain emissions had exceeded applicable limits under an air emissions permit. On February 8, 2023, the Illinois EPA issued a Notice of Violation with respect to the matter addressed in our report. Violations of the Illinois environmental statute could result in the imposition of civil or criminal monetary penalties. We are a party to a large number of labor claimsengaged in discussions with the Illinois EPA regarding this matter.
In 2015 and 2016, Ingredion self-reported certain monitoring and recordkeeping issues relating to our Brazilian operations. We have reserved an aggregateenvironmental regulatory matters involving its Indianapolis, Indiana manufacturing facility. In September 2017, following inspections and the provision by Ingredion of approximately $5 million asrequested information to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), the EPA issued Ingredion a Notice of September 30, 2017 in respect of these claims.Violation, which included additional alleged violations beyond those self-reported by Ingredion. These labor claimsadditional alleged violations primarily relate to dismissals, severance, healththe 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 safety, work schedulesNatural Resources Division (the “DOJ”). The DOJ and salary adjustments.

Ingredion are engaged in discussions with respect to a resolution of this matter.

We are currently subject to various other claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to labor matters, certain environmental proceedings and other 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 even if unfavorable to us, 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.
