WESTCHESTER, Ill., May 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 first quarter 2026 results.
“While we expected a challenging first quarter after last year’s strong first quarter, results were weaker than anticipated in Food & Industrial Ingredients—U.S./CAN due to operational challenges at our Argo facility,” said Jim Zallie, chairman, president and CEO of Ingredion. “At the same time, performance in our Texture & Healthful Solutions and Food & Industrial Ingredients—LATAM segments were in line with our expectations despite an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic environment.”
“Texture & Healthful Solutions delivered an eighth consecutive quarter of broad-based net sales volume growth, driven by continued strong customer demand for our solutions portfolio, including clean label ingredients.”
“Food & Industrial Ingredients—LATAM delivered as expected, reflecting disciplined execution across the region, while absorbing the year-over-year impact of Mexican foreign exchange headwinds.”
* 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.
“In our Food & Industrial Ingredients—U.S./CAN business, while we anticipated softer customer demand, a longer-than-expected recovery at our Argo facility negatively impacted results during the quarter. We remain focused on strengthening operational reliability, and we expect performance to improve sequentially throughout the second quarter; we are targeting a return to normal operations in the second half of the year."
“Excluding the impact of Argo, we are pleased with the performance and resilience of the other parts of our business, especially our Texture & Healthful Solutions segment, which continues to find opportunities for growth. Our focus going forward remains on servicing our customers, delivering innovative solutions, and driving long-term value creation for our shareholders.”

| First Quarter | 1,813 | 33 | (32) | (22) | 1,792 | (1%) | (3%) |
- First quarter net sales decreased 1%. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volume and less favorable mix in the F&II—U.S./CAN business, partially offset by higher net sales in T&HS and favorable foreign exchange impacts across the segments.

- First quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $203 million and $212 million. The difference between reported and adjusted operating income was primarily attributable to legal-entity restructuring and previously announced plant-closure costs. Excluding foreign exchange translational impacts, reported operating income was down 28% and adjusted operating income was down 24% from a year ago, primarily due to increased operating costs and lower volumes in the F&II—U.S./CAN business.

Other Financial Items
- At March 31, 2026, total debt was $1.8 billion, and cash, including short-term investments, was $918 million, versus $1.8 billion and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2025.
- Net financing costs were $9 million for both the first quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2025.
- Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the first quarter were 25.8% and 25.1%, respectively, compared to 25.5% and 25.4%, respectively, for the year-ago period.
- Net capital expenditures were $110 million through March 31, 2026.
Dividends and Share Repurchases
In the first quarter, the Company paid $52 million in dividends to shareholders. On March 18, 2026, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.82 per share that was paid on April 21, 2026. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $14 million of common stock.
Updated Full-Year 2026 Outlook
The Company now expects its full-year 2026 reported EPS to be in the range of $9.60 to $10.30 and adjusted EPS to be in the range of $10.45 to $11.15.
This guidance reflects tariff levels in effect as of the end of April 2026. In addition, this guidance excludes any acquisition-related integration and restructuring costs, as well as any potential impairment costs.
The Company now expects full-year 2026 net sales to be flat to up low single-digits, reflecting volume growth, partially offset by lower price mix.
Reported operating income is now expected to be down high single-digits, with adjusted operating income now expected to be flat to down low single-digits for full-year 2026.
The 2026 full-year outlook further assumes the following: Texture & Healthful Solutions operating income is now expected to be up low single-digits, driven by sales volume growth, partially offset by expected higher input cost inflation; Food & Industrial Ingredients—LATAM operating income is now expected to be down low single-digits reflecting the continued strength of the Mexican peso; Food & Industrial Ingredients—U.S./CAN operating income is now expected to be down low double-digits driven by Argo’s operational headwinds in the first quarter; and All Other operating income is still anticipated to improve by $5 to $10 million from the prior year.
Corporate costs for full-year 2026 are now expected to be flat.
For full-year 2026, the Company now expects a reported effective tax rate of 26.3% to 27.8%, and an adjusted effective tax rate of 26.0% to 27.5%.
Cash from operations for full-year 2026 is expected to now be in the range of $725 million to $825 million, reflecting our updated outlook. Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be approximately $400 to $440 million.
Second Quarter 2026 Outlook
For the second quarter of 2026, compared to the same quarter last year, the Company expects net sales to be flat to up low single-digits. Reported operating income is expected to be down high double-digits and adjusted operating income is expected to be down high single-digits, which reflect the challenging comparison to the prior year’s strong results.

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 restructuring costs, impairment charges, 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.

(iii) During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $6 million of pre-tax impairment charges on previously announced plant closures and impairments on equity investments. There was no such activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026. (iv) 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. (v) During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized prior-year tax reserves, recapture of prior-year U.S. tax benefits, and associated tax impacts related to the above current and prior-year non-GAAP adjustments. These were partially offset by interest income on previously recognized tax benefits associated with certain Brazilian local incentives that were previously taxable. | ||||||||||||||||
