Westchester / IL. (ingr) Ingredion Incorporated, a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, reported results for the first quarter 2020. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for 2020 and 2019, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.
«During these challenging times, Ingredion’s operations are considered ‘essential’ to maintaining the food supply in the countries in which we operate,» said Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and chief executive officer. «I’m extremely proud of our frontline employees for their commitment to ensuring we continue to deliver quality ingredients and solutions to our customers around the world. I would also like to express my deep appreciation to all of our global employees for the incredible energy and dedication they have displayed since the beginning of this crisis. In the weeks and months ahead, we will continue to focus on keeping our employees safe, serving our customers and the communities in which we operate and maintaining business continuity.»
*Adjusted diluted earnings per share («adjusted EPS»), adjusted operating income, and adjusted effective income tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures. See section II of the Supplemental Financial Information entitled «Non-GAAP Information» following the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
«We are pleased with the operational and financial results for the first quarter. Amid macroeconomic disruptions, we experienced solid demand for our products and continued to grow our specialties portfolio. We further streamlined our organization to maximize operational efficiencies as part of our Cost Smart savings program, which is on track to achieve our 2020 savings target. Following the close of the quarter, we advanced our Driving Growth Roadmap, announcing the pending acquisition of PureCircle, a global leader in the high-intensity natural stevia sweetener space that expands our capabilities in sugar reduction,» continued Zallie.
«In the second quarter, we expect strong demand for ingredients found in traditional packaged food products predominantly sold in retail grocery. However, the pandemic has significantly impacted food service traffic and we expect reduced volumes for ingredients that are formulated into food service meals and beverages consumed away-from-home,» stated Zallie.
«While we face unprecedented unknowns, I am confident in the agility of our teams to confront the unique challenges ahead and adapt quickly to best position our business for long-term growth and value creation for all stakeholders,» concluded Zallie.
