There have been no material changes to our significant accounting standards and policies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

New Accounting Standards

The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

Beginning at the lower of cost and net realizable value, removing the consideration of current replacement cost. It is effective for 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 it did not have a material impact onacquisition date, our audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements reflect the effects of the acquisition and KaTech’s financial results, which we report in our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) reportable business segment.

Amyris Joint Venture

On June 1, 2021, Ingredion entered into an agreement with Amyris, Inc. (“Amyris”) for certain exclusive commercialization rights to Amyris’s rebaudioside M by fermentation product, the exclusive licensing of the product’s manufacturing technology and a 31 percent ownership stake in a joint venture for the products (the “Amyris joint venture”). In May 2014,exchange, we contributed $28 million of total consideration, which included $10 million of cash, as well as non-exclusive intellectual property licenses and other consideration valued at $18 million. The transaction resulted in an $8 million gain recorded in Other operating (income) during the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contractsthree months ended June 30, 2021, which included $18 million related to the non-exclusive intellectual property licenses, partly offset by the $10 million cash payment. Beginning June 1, 2021, Ingredion accounts for the investment under the equity method.

Argentina Joint Venture

On February 12, 2021, Ingredion entered into an agreement with Customers (Topic 606) that introducesan affiliate of Grupo Arcor, an Argentine food company, to establish Ingrear Holding S.A. (the “Argentina joint venture”), a new five-step revenue recognition modeljoint venture to operate 5 manufacturing facilities in which an entity should recognize revenueArgentina to depict the transfer of promised goods or servicessell value-added ingredients to customers in an amount that reflects the considerationfood, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. On August 2, 2021, Ingredion and Grupo Arcor completed all closing conditions, pending customary antitrust review, to combine the manufacturing facilities, finalize the transaction and formally establish the Argentina joint venture, which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from 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 standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. We plan to adopt the standard as of 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 is not expected to have a material impact 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.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes Topic 840, Leases. This Update increases the transparency and comparability of organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on 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 leasemanaged by a lessee have not significantly changed. This Updatejointly appointed team of executives and is effectiveaccounted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. under the equity method.

We currently plan to adopt the standard as of the effective date. Adoption 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 asexchanged certain 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 thewith a fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should then recognize$71 million from our Argentina, Chile and Uruguay operations for 49 percent of the outstanding shares of the Argentina joint venture valued at $64 million, as well as $7 million of other consideration, including cash, from Grupo Arcor as of August 2, 2021. The transaction also resulted in an impairment charge for the 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 Statements of Income 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 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 to 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 results 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 recordedtransferred assets and liabilities including working capital, property, plantmore fully described in Note 5.

Beginning on the dates Ingredion entered into the agreements for equity method investees, our share of income from them is included in Other operating (income). Ingredion incurred an insignificant amount of pre-tax acquisition and equipment (“PP&E”), goodwill,integration costs during the three 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.

8


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 determined 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.

6. FinancialDerivative Instruments Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The CompanyIngredion is exposed to market risk stemming from changes in commodity prices (primarily corn and natural gas), foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, 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. We have no collateral to counterparties under collateral funding arrangements as of June 30, 2022. Derivative financial instruments currently used by the CompanyIngredion consist primarily 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’sIngredion’s 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 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 CompanyIngredion also uses over-the-counter natural gas swaps in North America to hedge a portion of its 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 purchasespurchases. Ingredion’s natural gas derivatives and the majority of its corn derivatives have been designated as cash-flow hedges. The Company also enters into futures contractscash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

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

For commodity hedges designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, unrealized gains and losses associated with marking the commodity hedging contracts to market (fair value) are recorded as a component of otherOther comprehensive incomeloss (“OCI”OCL”) and included in the equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of accumulatedAccumulated 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 CompanyIngredion assesses the effectiveness of a commodity hedge contract based on changes in the contract’s fair value. The changes in the market value of such contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be,

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 hedgesCash Flows.

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

Foreign currency hedging: Due to our global operations, including operations in many emerging markets, Ingredion is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, Ingredion has exposure to translational foreign-exchange risk when the results of its foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars and to transactional foreign-exchange risk when transactions not significant.

At September 30, 2017, AOCI included $5 million of losses (net of income taxes of $4 million), pertainingdenominated in the functional currency are revalued. Ingredion’s foreign-exchange risk management strategy uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to commodities-relatedmanage its transactional foreign exchange risk. Ingredion enters into foreign currency derivative instruments that are designated as cash-flow hedges. Atboth cash flow hedging instruments as well as instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes in order to mitigate transactional foreign-exchange risk. Gains and losses from derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes are marked to market in earnings during each accounting period.

Ingredion hedges certain assets using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, which had a notional value of $414 million and $360 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2016, the amount included in AOCI pertaining to these commodities-related2021, respectively. Ingredion also hedges certain liabilities using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $255 million and $205 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31 2021, respectively.

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

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

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 thechanges.

These amounts offset the gaingains or losslosses (the changechanges in fair value) of the hedged debt instrumentinstruments that isare attributable to changes in interest rates (the hedged risk), which isare also recognized in earnings. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was  $3 million and $3 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 amount of the hedged debt obligations. The CompanyIngredion did not have any T-Locks outstanding at Septemberinterest rate swaps as of June 30, 20172022 or December 31, 2016.2021.

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 expectshierarchy of those valuation approaches is in three levels based on the lossesreliability of inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities costs. The Company also has $1 million of losses on settled T-Locks (net of income taxes of $1 million) recorded in AOCI at September 30, 2017, which are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months. Additionally, at September 30, 2017, AOCI included an insignificant amount of losses related to foreign currency hedges that are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.

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

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

9. Commitments and Contingencies

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

10. Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the U.S. Treasury published final foreign tax credit regulations that limit our ability to claim foreign tax credits from certain countries, primarily in South America. As a result, we recorded a provisional tax liability during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and will continue to assess the impact of the Company’s long-term debt were $1,731regulations on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.

We currently anticipate that we will make approximately $4 million in cash contributions to our pension plans in 2022, consisting of contributions of $3 million to our non-U.S. pension plans and $1 million to our U.S. pension plans. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we made cash contributions of approximately $2 million to the non-U.S. plans and an insignificant amount to the U.S. plans.

12. Equity

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

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 502 thousand and 957 thousand outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $44 million and $1,832$83 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 107 thousand and 265 thousand outstanding shares of common stock in open market transactions at a net cost of $10 million and $24 million, respectively.

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

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

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

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

The $200 million of 6.0 percent senior notes due April 15, 2017 were refinanced with borrowings under the revolving credit facility in April 2017.

On August 18, 2017, the Company entered into a new Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Term Loan”) to establish a senior unsecured term loan credit facility. Under the Term Loan, the Company is allowed three borrowings in an amount of up to $500 million total. The Term Loan matures 18 months from the date of the final borrowing. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had initiated two borrowings under the Term Loan totaling $380 million. The proceeds were used to refinance $300 million of 1.8 percent senior notes due September 25, 2017 and pay down borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility. On October 25, 2017, the Company initiated its third and final borrowing under the Term Loan of $40 million, bringing the total outstanding Term Loan to $420 million, due April 25, 2019.

All borrowings under the term loan facility will bear interest at a variable annual rate based on the LIBOR or base rate, at the Company’s election, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, plus, in each case, an applicable margin.  The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, events of default, terms and conditions, including limitations on liens, incurrence of debt, mergers and significant asset dispositions. The Company must also comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The occurrence of an event of default under the Term Loan Credit Agreement could result in all loans and other obligations being declared due and payable and the term loan credit facility being terminated.

Our ingredients

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

Our Strategic Blueprint continuesresults for the current period benefited from strong price mix and volume growth, which more than offset higher raw material input costs. Our net sales of $2,044 million for the second quarter of 2022 were over 16 percent higher than our net sales of $1,762 million for the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to guide our decision-makinghigher volumes and strategic choices with an emphasis on value-added ingredient solutions for our customers.stronger price mix, including the pass-through of higher corn costs. The foundationnet sales increase contributed to $23 million 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 workhigher gross profit during the current period when compared 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 extensionthe second quarter 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 as2021. Our operating income net income and diluted earnings per common share grew fromof $213 million for the comparable 2016 periods. Our earnings growth was driven principally by continued strong operating results in our North America segment during the year, and partially offset by lower earnings in our South America segment due to continued difficult macroeconomic conditions and increased costs in Argentina. The Company implemented an organizational restructuring effort in Argentina during the firstsecond quarter of 2017 to achieve2022 declined from operating income of $222 million for the second quarter of 2021. Excluding a more competitive cost position in the region. We notified the local labor unionone-time benefit of a planned reduction in workforce, which resulted in a strike by the labor union and an interruption of manufacturing activities$15 million recorded during the second quarter of 2017. We finalized a new labor agreement with the labor union2021 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,operating (income) related to Brazil indirect taxes, operating income increased during the workforce reduction.

Duringattributable to Ingredion for the second quarter of 2017, the Company announced2022 was $142 million, or $2.12 diluted earnings per share, which was a Finance Transformation initiative in the North Americadecrease from $178 million, or $2.62 diluted earnings per share for the U.S. and Canada businessessecond quarter of 2021. Excluding the reversal of tax liabilities related 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 costscertain unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries during the thirdsecond quarter of 2017 related to this initiative. We expect to incur between $3 million2021 and $5 million 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 millionBrazil indirect taxes, our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $542 million in the year-earliercurrent period driven by an increase of cash outflow in working capital primarily due to the outflow in accounts payable 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 increased 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.

Looking ahead, we anticipate that our full year 2017 operating income andreflected higher net income will grow comparedattributable 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.Ingredion as well as a higher diluted earnings per share.

Results of Operations

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

Operating income for third quarter of 2016 includes pre-tax costs of $2 million consisting of employee-related severance and other costs associated with the execution of IT outsourcing contracts. Without the restructuring and acquisition-related charges, our third quarter of 2017 operating income would have grown 8 percent from the third quarter of 2016. The increase primarily reflects operating income growth in North America. Currency translation had a net favorable impact of $2 million, reflecting the movements of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, and Argentine peso during the quarter.

EMEA’s third quarter 2017 operating income increased 4 percent to $26 million from $25 million a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by favorable price/product mix and volume growth during the period, partially offset by increased operating costs. EMEA’s operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 4 percent to $83 million from $80 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily driven by favorable price/product mix and volume growth, partially offset by increased operational costs and a net margin decrease due to unfavorable raw material costs.

Financing Costs, net. Financing costs for the third quarter of 2017 increased to $16 million from $15 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily driven by higher weighted average short-term borrowing costs and an increase in short-term borrowings.

Financing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $57 million from $48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was due to higher weighted average short-term borrowing costs and an increase in short-term borrowings. Additionally, an increase in foreign currency transaction losses contributed to the increase.

Provision for Income Taxes.  Our effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 decreased to 22.1 percent from 29.2 percent a year ago. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 26.3 percent compared to 30.1 percent a year ago.

We use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Mexico. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the effective tax rates were reduced by 1.0 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively, due to the revaluation of the Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar. 

In addition, we increased the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary. As a result, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the effective tax rates were increased by 2.0 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively.

We had been pursuing relief from double taxation under the U.S.-Canada tax treaty for the years 2004-2013. During the fourth quarter of 2016, a tentative settlement was reached between the U.S. and Canada and, consequently, last year we established a net reserve of $24 million, including interest thereon, recorded as a $70 million liability and a $46 million benefit. In the third quarter of 2017, the two countries finalized the agreement, which eliminated the double taxation, and we paid $63 million to the IRS to settle the liability. As a result of that agreement, we are entitled to deduct a foreign exchange loss of $10 million on our 2017 U.S. federal income tax return. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the effective tax rates were reduced by 4.9 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively, due to the foreign exchange loss deduction. The foreign exchange loss was not recognized in income before taxes because it arose from the terms of the agreement.

The above discrete tax items were partially offset by individually insignificant discrete items. Without these items, the rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have been approximately 27.3 percent and 28.1 percent, respectively.

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

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

Other operating (income). Other operating (income) decreased to $(6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $(28) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $(15) million of Other operating (income) related to Brazil indirect tax credits and an $(8) million net gain from the formation of the Mexican pesoAmyris joint venture.

25

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

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

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased to 27.4 percent from 464.7 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The primary cause of the decrease in the effective tax rate was the $360 million impairment charge related to net assets contributed to the Argentina joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2021, that did not have a corresponding income tax benefit. The effect of this charge was partially offset by individually insignificant factors. Without these items,a discrete tax benefit of $30 million during the ratesthree months ended June 30, 2021, due to the reversal of an accrual for withholding tax on the unremitted earnings of a foreign subsidiary.

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

Net Income attributable to Ingredion. Net income attributable to Ingredion for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 would have been approximately 27.4 percent and 28.3 percent, respectively.

Comprehensive Income Attributable2022, was $272 million compared to Ingredion. Comprehensive incomea net loss of $(68) million for the third quarter of 2017six months ended June 30, 2021. The net loss in the prior year period was largely attributable to the $360 million impairment charge for the Argentina assets contributed to the Argentina joint venture that we recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $482 million from $459 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase reflects an increase in net income, favorable variances due to losses resulting from cash-flow hedging activities,volume of 8 percent, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of 6 percent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $524 million, as compared to $542 million a year ago. The decrease in operating cash flow primarily reflects the changes in our working capital, partially offset by an increase in our net income.

Capital expenditures of $222 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are in line with our capital spending plan for the year. We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $300 million to $325 million for 2017. During the first quarter of 2017, we repurchased approximately 1 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions for $123 million.

On August 18, 2017, the Company entered into a new Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Term Loan”) to establish a senior unsecured term loan credit facility. Under the Term Loan, the Company is allowed three borrowings in an amount of up to $500 million total. The Term Loan matures 18 months from the date of the final borrowing. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had initiated two borrowings under the Term Loan totaling $380 million. The proceeds were used to refinance $300 million of 1.8 percent senior notes due September 25, 2017 and pay down borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility. On October 25, 2017, the Company initiated its third and final borrowing under the Term Loan of $40 million, bringing the total outstanding Term Loan to $420 million, due April 25, 2019. See also Note 11 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, there2022, we had total available liquidity of approximately $1,484 million. Domestic liquidity of $452 million consisted of $10 million in cash and cash equivalents and $442 million of short-term borrowing availability through our $1 billion commercial paper program, under which $558 million of borrowings were borrowingsoutstanding as of $380 million outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition to theJune 30, 2022. The commercial paper program, which we initiated on July 27, 2021, is backed by $1 billion of borrowing availability under a five-year revolving credit agreement that we entered into on June 30, 2021.

We had international liquidity as of June 30, 2022 of approximately $1,032 million, consisting of $308 million of cash and cash equivalents and $4 million of short-term investments held by our operations outside the Revolving Credit Agreement, we have approximately $493U.S., as well as $720 million of unused operating lines of credit in the various foreign countries in which we operate. As the parent company, we guarantee certain obligations of our consolidated subsidiaries, which totaled $66 million as of June 30, 2022. We believe that such consolidated subsidiaries will be able to meet their financial obligations as they become due.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, 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 $1.7 billion excluding the outstanding commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. Of our totaloutstanding debt, $1.7 billion consists of senior notes that do not require principal repayment until 2026 through 2050.

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 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, the timing and extent of our expansion into new markets, the timing of introductions of and rate of success for new products, potential acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies, continuing market acceptance of our new products and general economic and market conditions. We may need to raise additional capital or incur indebtedness to fund our needs for less predictable strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions.

Net Cash Flows

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

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

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

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

We have not provided foreign withholding taxes, state income taxes and federal and state 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.

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.
