Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 1. Interim Financial Statements
References to the “Company,” “Ingredion,” “we,” “us,” and “our” shall mean Ingredion Incorporated (“Ingredion”) individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements contained in Ingredion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included herein were prepared by management on the same basis as Ingredion’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity and Redeemable Equity, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other future period.
 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Standards and Policies
For detailed information about Ingredion’s significant accounting standards and policies, see Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Ingredion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
New Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. We adopted ASU 2020-04 at the beginning of our 2023 fiscal year and this ASU did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 is sufficient to allow financial statement users to understand their nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted the updates to the standard at the beginning of our 2023 fiscal year and will adopt the amendment on rollforward information in the future. These updates did not 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 our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, 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 initially measure its assets and 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 amendments retrospectively. We plan to adopt this ASU on a prospective basis at the beginning of our 2025 fiscal year and do not believe it will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial 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 $2 million. These purchases increased our ownership percentage from 87 percent as of December 31, 2022 to 88 percent as of September 30, 2023.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Ingredion purchased shares from minority shareholders in PureCircle for $13 million and $40 million, respectively. These purchases increased our ownership percentage in PureCircle from 75 percent as of December 31, 2021, to 85 percent as of September 30, 2022.
Other Acquisitions
On December 1, 2022, we acquired a 65 percent controlling interest in Mannitab Pharma Specialties Private Limited (“Mannitab”), an Indian manufacturer of spray dried and fine grade mannitol, for $22 million. We agreed to acquire the remaining 35 percent of Mannitab on or before March 2026. We recorded $19 million of goodwill and $9 million of definite-lived intangible assets on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect our controlling interest in Mannitab. Beginning at the acquisition date, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the effects of the acquisition and Mannitab’s financial results, which we report in our Asia-Pacific reportable business segment.
On August 1, 2022, we acquired Amishi Drugs and Chemicals Private Limited (“Amishi”) for $7 million, which added $3 million of goodwill and intangible assets to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Amishi is an Indian manufacturer of chemically modified starch-based pharmaceutical excipients. Beginning at the acquisition date, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the effects of the acquisition and Amishi’s financial results, which we report in our Asia-Pacific reportable business segment.
 4. Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Beginning on the dates we entered into the agreements for equity method investments, our share of income from them is included within Other operating (income) expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the third quarter of 2023, we recorded a $10 million other-than-temporary-impairment on our equity method investments, included in Restructuring/impairment charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Argentina Joint Venture
On February 12, 2021, Ingredion entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Grupo Arcor, an Argentine food company, to establish Ingrear Holding S.A. (the “Argentina joint venture”), a joint venture to sell value-added ingredients to customers in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Ingredion and Grupo Arcor have completed all closing conditions, pending customary antitrust review, to combine the manufacturing facilities, finalize the transaction and formally establish the Argentina joint venture, which is managed by a jointly appointed team of executives.
 6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
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 various hedging transactions authorized under established policies that place controls on these activities. These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties. We use derivative financial instruments that consist of commodity-related futures, options and swap contracts, foreign currency-related forward contracts, interest rate swaps and treasury locks (“T-Locks”).
Commodity price hedging: Our principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk relating to anticipated purchases of corn and natural gas that we intend to use in the manufacturing process, generally over the next 12 to 24 months. We maintain a commodity-price risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by commodity-price volatility. To manage price risk related to corn purchases primarily in North America, we use corn futures and option contracts that trade on regulated commodity exchanges to lock in corn costs associated with fixed-priced customer sales contracts. We 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 our natural gas usage. These derivative financial instruments limit the impact that volatility resulting from fluctuations in market prices will have on corn and natural gas purchases, 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 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 further mitigate commodity price risk related to anticipated purchases of corn. During the three 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 loss (“OCL”) and included in the equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of accumulated other comprehensive
10
Table of Contents
loss (“AOCL”). These amounts, as well as their related tax effects, are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, or in the period a hedge is determined to be ineffective. We 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, highly effective at offsetting changes in the price of the hedged items. Gains and losses from cash flow hedging instruments reclassified from AOCL to earnings are reported as Cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We also had outstanding swap contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 30 million and 31 million mmbtus of natural gas as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Foreign currency hedging: 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 the results of our foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars and to transactional foreign-exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency are revalued. Our foreign-exchange risk management strategy uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to manage our transactional foreign exchange risk. We enter into foreign currency derivative instruments that are designated as 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 period.
We hedge certain assets using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $463 million and $405 million as of September 30, 2023 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, 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 fair value of existing debt instruments and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our risk management strategy is to monitor interest rate risk attributable to our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our offsetting hedge positions. Derivative financial instruments that we 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 variability 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 the T-Locks are recorded to AOCL until the consummation of the underlying debt offering, at which time any realized gain (loss) is amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. 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 hierarchy of those valuation approaches is in three levels based on the reliability of inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Below is a summary of the hierarchy levels:
•Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 inputs are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are presented below:

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

We maintain a commercial paper program under which we may issue senior unsecured notes of short maturities up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1 billion outstanding at any time. The notes may be sold from time to time on customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper market. 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 a 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.

Stock Options: Under our 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. We generally recognize compensation expense 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. We estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant and update the estimate throughout the vesting period of the stock options within the amount of compensation costs recognized in each period.
We granted non-qualified options to purchase 197 thousand shares and 281 thousand shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We estimated the fair value of each option grant by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
20232022
Expected life (in years)5.55.5
Risk-free interest rate4.0%2.0%
Expected volatility28.3%23.8%
Expected dividend yield2.9%2.9%
The expected life of options represents the weighted average period that we expect options granted to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and our historical exercise patterns. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date for the period corresponding to the expected life of the options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of our common stock, and dividend yields are based on our dividend yield at the date of issuance.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash received from the exercise of stock options was approximately $25 million. As of September 30, 2023, the unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options totaled $4 million, which we expect to amortize over the weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years.

Restricted Stock Units: 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 our service. The fair value of the RSUs is determined based upon the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of our common stock at the grant date.
The following table summarizes RSU activity in 2023:

At September 30, 2023, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs was $24 million, which will be amortized on a weighted-average basis over approximately 1.8 years.
Performance Shares: We have a long-term incentive plan for senior management in the form of performance shares. The vesting of the performance shares is generally based on two performance metrics. Fifty percent of the performance shares awarded vest based on our total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of our peer group and the remaining fifty percent vest based on the calculation of our three-year average Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (“Adjusted ROIC”) against an established ROIC target.

Table of Contents
For the 2023 performance shares awarded based on our total shareholder return, the number of shares that ultimately vest can range from zero to 200 percent of the grant depending on our total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of our peer group. The share award vesting will be calculated at the end of the three-year period and is subject to approval by management and the People, Culture, and Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors. Compensation expense is based on the fair value of the performance shares at the grant date, established using a Monte Carlo simulation model. We amortize the total compensation expense for these awards over a three-year graded vesting schedule.
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.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we awarded 92,628 thousand performance shares at a weighted average fair value of $114.26 per share. As of September 30, 2023, the unrecognized compensation cost related to these awards was $11 million, which we will amortize over the remaining service period of 2.0 years. The 2020 performance share awards that vested in February 2023 achieved a 77 percent payout of the granted performance shares. As of September 30, 2023, we estimated the 2021 performance share awards will pay out at 180 percent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 34 thousand shares were cancelled.

Supply Chain Finance Programs
Under supply chain finance programs administered by third-party banks, our suppliers have the opportunity to sell receivables due from us to participating financing institutions and receive earlier payment at a discount. Our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier, regardless of whether such supplier sells its receivable to a financial institution. The payment terms we negotiate with a supplier are independent of whether such supplier participates in a supply chain finance program, and participation in any such program by a supplier has no effect on our income or cash flows.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, participating financial institutions held $100 million and $175 million, respectively, of our liabilities recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2023, supply chain finance programs existed for operations in Brazil, Mexico, certain PureCircle entities, Colombia, Korea, Peru, Thailand and China.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Ingredion is a leading 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 people, nature and technology together to make life better. As of September 30, 2023, we had 47 manufacturing facilities located in North America, South America, Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and we manage and operate our businesses at a regional level. We believe this approach provides us with a unique understanding of the cultures and product requirements in each of the geographic markets in which we operate, bringing added value to our customers.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we achieved growth in net sales, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share when compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in our net sales was driven by price and customer mix and impacts of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower volumes. Cost of sales decreased primarily due to lower volumes, the effect of which was partially offset by higher input costs. These factors led to higher gross margins and higher operating income compared to the third quarter of 2022.
Our net sales of $2,033 million for the third 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 our operating income of $182 million for the third quarter of 2022. Net income attributable to Ingredion for the third quarter of 2023 was $158 million, which represented an increase of 49 percent from $106 million, for the third quarter of 2022. The increases in net 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 recently issued IRS Notice 2023-55, which increased our ability to claim certain foreign tax credits against U.S. taxes, and more favorable country earnings mix.
Results of Operations
We have significant operations in four reporting segments: North America, South America, Asia-Pacific and EMEA. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the U.S. dollar amounts of our foreign subsidiaries’ net sales and expenses. For most of our foreign subsidiaries, the local foreign currency is the functional currency. Accordingly, net 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.
We acquired a controlling majority of Mannitab on December 1, 2022 and fully acquired Amishi on 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 beginning on the respective acquisition dates, 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 the impacts of acquisitions and investments on our results, our discussion below also addresses results of operations excluding those impacts, where appropriate, to provide a more comparable and meaningful analysis.
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
With Comparatives for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
Net sales. Net sales increased 1 percent to $2,033 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2,023 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net sales was driven by favorable price and customer mix, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates, which was partially offset by lower volumes.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased 2 percent to $1,612 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to cost of sales of $1,649 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in cost of sales was due primarily to lower volumes partially offset by higher input costs. Our gross profit margin of 21 percent

Table of Contents
during the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased from 18 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 13 percent to $203 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $180 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased compensation cost. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were approximately 10 percent and 9 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the three months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
Other operating (income) expense. Other operating (income) was $(5) million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to other operating expense of $10 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The change was primarily attributable to insurance recoveries during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to charges related to a U.S.-based work stoppage during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Restructuring and impairment charges. Restructuring and impairment charges were $10 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the third quarter of 2023, we recorded a $10 million other-than-temporary-impairment on our equity method investments.
Financing costs. Financing costs increased 8 percent to $26 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $24 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates, which was partially offset by lower average outstanding debt balances during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and three months ended September 30, 2022 were 13.5 percent and 32.3 percent, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the recently issued IRS Notice 2023-55, which increased our ability to claim certain foreign tax credits against U.S. taxes, a favorable country earnings mix primarily due to Brazil tax law developments, and a related increase in our foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
Net income attributable to Ingredion. Net income attributable to Ingredion for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $158 million from $106 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net income was due primarily to price and customer mix and a more favorable effective tax rate, which was partially offset by lower volumes and higher operating expenses.

Operating income. South America’s operating income decreased 33 percent to $32 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $48 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was driven primarily by lower volume and higher energy costs.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
With Comparatives for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Net sales. Net sales increased 5 percent to $6,239 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $5,959 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net sales was driven by price and customer mix, which was partially offset by lower volumes and unfavorable foreign currency impacts.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased 2 percent to $4,890 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to cost of sales of $4,816 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of sales primarily reflected higher net corn and other input costs which were partially offset by a decrease in volumes. Our gross profit margin of 22 percent during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased from 19 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 9 percent to $578 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $528 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Other operating (income) expense. Other operating expense was $6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Financing costs. Financing costs increased 35 percent to $88 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $65 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates and higher average outstanding debt balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased to 21.9 percent from 28.9 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the value of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. Dollar, the recently issued IRS Notice 2023-55, which increased our ability to claim certain foreign tax credits against U.S. taxes, a favorable country earning mix

primarily due to Brazil tax law developments, and a related increase in the Company’s foreign-derived intangible income deduction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had total available liquidity of approximately $1,631 million. Domestic liquidity of $672 million consisted of $5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $667 million available through a $1 billion

Table of Contents
commercial paper program that had $333 million of outstanding borrowings. The commercial paper program is backed by $1 billion of borrowing availability under a five-year revolving credit agreement.
As of September 30, 2023, we had international liquidity of approximately $959 million, consisting of $330 million of cash and cash equivalents and $6 million of short-term investments held by our operations outside the U.S., as well as $623 million of unused operating lines of credit in foreign countries where we operate. As the parent company, we guarantee certain obligations of our consolidated subsidiaries. These guarantees totaled $85 million as of September 30, 2023. We believe that those consolidated subsidiaries will be able to meet their financial obligations as they become due.
As of September 30, 2023, we had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.4 billion, or approximately $1.9 billion excluding the outstanding commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. Of our outstanding debt, $1.7 billion consists of senior notes that do not require principal repayment until 2026 through 2050. 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 4.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 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 borrow under our credit facilities and commercial paper program and to raise funds in the capital markets. We currently expect that our available cash balances, future cash flow from operations, access to debt markets and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our anticipated capital expenditures, dividends and other operating, investing and financing activities for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future cash flow needs will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, 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
Table of Contents
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 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 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 engaged in discussions with the Illinois EPA regarding this matter.
In 2015 and 2016, Ingredion self-reported certain monitoring and recordkeeping issues relating to environmental regulatory matters involving its Indianapolis, Indiana manufacturing facility. In September 2017, following inspections and the provision by Ingredion of requested information to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), the EPA issued Ingredion a Notice of Violation, which included additional alleged violations beyond those self-reported by Ingredion. These additional alleged violations primarily relate to the results of stack testing at the facility. The allegations in the Notice of Violation, whether from the self-reported information, the inspections or the additional requested information, are not material to us. The EPA has referred the overall matter to the U.S. Department of Justice, Environment and Natural Resources Division (the “DOJ”). The DOJ and Ingredion are engaged in discussions with respect to a resolution of this matter.
We are currently subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to labor matters, certain environmental proceedings and commercial claims. We also routinely receive inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of our business, including with respect to compliance with laws and regulations relating to the environment, and at any given time, we have matters at various stages of resolution with the applicable governmental authorities. The outcomes of these matters are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. We do not believe that the results of currently known legal proceedings and inquires will be material to us. There can be no assurance, however, that such claims, suits or investigations or those arising in the future, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
