Ingredion Incorporated Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results

Full-year U.S./Canada operating income is now expected to decline 35–40%, driven by operating costs at Argo.

Rhea-AI Summary

Ingredion (NYSE: INGR) lowered its full-year earnings outlook after third-quarter reported operating income declined 19% from a year earlier. Quarterly net sales fell 1% to $1.792 billion, primarily reflecting the sale of its majority stake in Pakistan; excluding that business, sales rose 2%. Reported diluted earnings per share fell to $2.23 from $2.61, while adjusted EPS fell to $2.28 from $2.75.

The company cited a slower financial recovery at Argo, higher input costs and softer demand. Texture & Healthful Solutions recorded its tenth consecutive quarter of sales volume growth, but operating income declined across all three reportable segments. Ingredion now expects 2026 reported diluted EPS of $8.04–$8.49 and adjusted diluted EPS of $9.25–$9.70. It also increased its quarterly dividend to $0.83 per share, paid October 20, 2026.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

gaap, non-gaap financial measures, diluted eps

3 terms

gaap financial

"Reported results are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles"

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

View in glossary

non-gaap financial measures financial

"Adjusted financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures."

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

diluted eps financial

"Reported and adjusted diluted EPS were $2.23 and $2.28"

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) shows how much profit a company makes for each share of stock, assuming all possible shares from stock options or convertible securities are used. It provides a more conservative estimate than basic EPS, accounting for potential share increases that could dilute ownership. Investors use diluted EPS to get a clearer picture of a company's true profitability on a per-share basis.

WESTCHESTER, Ill., Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to the food and beverage manufacturing industry, today reported its third quarter 2026 results.

"Our third quarter results fell short of our expectations, largely due to Argo's slower than anticipated financial recovery, with incremental pressure from higher input costs and consumer softness," said Jim Zallie, chairman, president and CEO of Ingredion. “While production at Argo remained stable for a second consecutive quarter and inventories are largely rebuilt, high manufacturing costs coupled with softer food and beverage demand impacted profitable volume growth. With plant reliability improved, our focus has shifted to sustainably lowering operating costs and improving volume growth. While we expect these actions to improve earnings, the recovery is taking longer than we expected."

"For Texture & Healthful Solutions, net sales volume growth was a bright spot again this quarter. Volume grew for the tenth consecutive quarter, supported by continued strong demand for clean label globally as customers reformulate for simpler labels, affordability and nutrition. However, higher tapioca costs and manufacturing input cost inflation negatively impacted profit growth in the segment. In Food & Industrial Ingredients—LATAM, stronger volume from brewing and beverage customers in Mexico and Brazil was offset by foreign exchange impacts from a stronger Mexican peso and the impact to our Andean operations from the August earthquake in Colombia."

"As a result, we are lowering our full-year outlook, primarily to reflect the slower earnings recovery in Food & Industrial Ingredients—U.S./CAN, along with the impacts of higher input costs and softer demand."

"Looking ahead, we are taking action to improve financial performance through operating cost discipline and spend management, while we continue to invest in our specialty growth platforms. As we progress the integration planning for the pending acquisition of Tate & Lyle, we are building the foundation for an even stronger company with greater opportunities for growth, innovation and shareholder value creation in 2027 and beyond."

^{*Reported results are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles “GAAP." Adjusted financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures. See “II. Non-GAAP Information” in the Supplemental Financial Information that follows the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.}

• Third quarter operating loss for All Other increased $7 million from the prior year, reflecting the impact of the sale of the majority stake in our Pakistan business partially offset by continued improvements in the Protein Fortification business.
  
  

^{** All Other consists of the businesses of multiple operating segments that are not individually or collectively classified as reportable segments. Net sales from All Other are generated primarily by sales of stevia and other ingredients from our PureCircle and other sugar reduction businesses, and pea protein ingredients from our Protein Fortification business.}

Other Financial Items

• At September 30, 2026, total debt was $1.8 billion, and cash, including short-term investments, was $993 million, versus $1.8 billion and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2025.
• Net adjusted financing costs were $10 million in third quarter 2026, compared to $7 million in third quarter 2025.
• Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the third quarter were 26.8% and 26.4%, respectively, compared to 28.6% and 26.4%, respectively, for the year-ago period. The decrease in the reported effective tax rate was primarily driven by the change in the permanent reinvestment status of our Pakistan business recorded in the prior-year period and a favorable ruling in Brazil related to the taxability of ICMS credits. These favorable impacts were partially offset by the change in the value of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar.
• Capital expenditures totaled $313 million through September 30, 2026, partially offset by proceeds of $36 million from the sales of certain properties.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

In the third quarter, the Company paid $53 million in dividends to shareholders. On September 17, 2026, the Company declared a quarterly dividend increase to $0.83 per share, which was paid on October 20, 2026, marking the 12^th consecutive year of dividend increases. Through September 30, the Company repurchased $85 million of common stock and is on track to complete its $100 million full-year share repurchase target.

Updated Full-Year 2026 Outlook

The Company now expects its full-year 2026 reported diluted EPS to be in the range of $8.04 to $8.49, and its adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $9.25 to $9.70.

The Company now expects full-year 2026 net sales to be flat, reflecting volume growth and favorable foreign exchange, offset by lower price mix as well as the impact of the previously mentioned sale of its majority stake in the Pakistan business. Excluding results of the Pakistan business, net sales is expected to be flat to up low single digits.

Reported operating income is expected to be down low double digits, with adjusted operating income now expected to be down mid-teens for full-year 2026, which reflects the operational challenges in F&II—U.S./CAN.

The 2026 full-year outlook further assumes the following: Texture & Healthful Solutions operating income is now expected to be flat to up low single-digits, driven by sales volume growth, offset by expected higher input cost inflation; Food & Industrial Ingredients—LATAM operating income is now anticipated to be down mid-to-high single-digits, reflecting the continued strength of the Mexican peso; Food & Industrial Ingredients—U.S./CAN operating income is now expected to be down 35-40%, driven by operating costs at Argo; and All Other’s operating loss is still anticipated to be approximately $(15) million, which reflects the absence of a second half earnings contribution from the sale of the Pakistan business.

Corporate costs for full-year 2026 are expected to be down mid-single digits.

For full-year 2026, the Company expects a reported effective tax rate of 27.9% to 28.9% and expects an adjusted effective tax rate of 26.5% to 27.5%.

Cash from operations for the full year 2026 is now expected to be in the range of $650 million to $750 million. Capital expenditures for the full year are still expected to be approximately $450 to $490 million.

This guidance reflects tariff levels in effect as of the end of October 2026. In addition, this guidance excludes acquisition-related integration and restructuring costs, as well as any potential impairment costs.

II. Non-GAAP Information

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), non-GAAP historical financial measures are used, which exclude certain GAAP items such as acquisition/integration costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges, net (gain) on sale of business, Mexico tax item, and other specified items. The term “adjusted” is generally used when referring to these non-GAAP financial measures.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a more meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company’s operating results and trends for the periods presented. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business. Expected financial measures may not reflect certain future charges, costs and/or gains that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance. Non-GAAP adjustments are generally made to adjusted financial measures, which increases management’s confidence in its ability to forecast adjusted financial measures than in its ability to forecast GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP expected measures, should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the Company’s non-GAAP information is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables below.

Notes

(i) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded net pre-tax acquisition and integration costs of $6 million and $59 million primarily related to our pending acquisition of Tate & Lyle, including $5 million and $42 million of gains and losses of acquisition-related foreign exchange hedging for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. There was no such activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

(ii) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $6 million and $39 million. In the third quarter we recorded a charge related to the sale of our facility in Vanscoy, Canada and impairment charge on an equity investment. In addition, we recorded charges relating to the closure our Cabo, Brazil facility in the first half of 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded $6 million of pre-tax impairment charges on our equity investments.

(iii) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring benefit of $17 million and pre-tax restructuring charges of $8 million. The benefit during the quarter was primarily from the gain on the sale of land in Lane Cove, Australia. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the gain on sale of land was fully offset by restructuring costs primarily related to the closure of our facility in Cabo, Brazil and the sale of our Pakistan business. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded pre-tax restructuring costs of $3 million and $7 million, primarily related to decommissioning costs for plant closures.

(iv) During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded a net pre-tax gain of $44 million related to the sale of our Pakistan business. There was no such activity during September 30, 2025.

(v) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded pre-tax charges of $8 million and $25 million primarily related to the Argo thermal event. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded pre-tax expenses of $2 million and pre-tax benefits of $9 million primarily related to insurance recoveries and a favorable judgment related to certain indirect taxes.

(vi) The tax amounts are result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and its impact on the remeasurement of the Mexico financial statements during the period.

(vii) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized tax benefits, including interest income associated with certain Brazilian local incentives and the recognition of a U.S. deferred tax asset. These benefits were partially offset by the related tax impacts of current- and prior-year non-GAAP adjustments and the recapture of prior-year U.S. tax benefits. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized tax benefits associated with the utilization of previously unbenefited capital losses. These benefits were partially offset by changes in our accrual related to the permanent reinvestment of foreign earnings and the recognition of prior-year tax liabilities.
