WESTCHESTER, Ill., May 3, 2017 - (ACN Newswire) - Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, today reported results for the first quarter 2017. The results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for 2017 and 2016 include items which are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures which we present.
"Our solid first quarter results reflect the overall positive trajectory of our business," said Ilene Gordon, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Higher core and specialty volumes, good operating efficiency, and the impact of acquisitions, more than offset headwinds in South America. Year-over-year operating income improved in North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific.
"Our growth strategy continues to drive robust results and we remain confident in our 2017 outlook. Volume growth and improved specialty mix are expected to be driven by the startup of our recently completed specialty investments in North America and Asia Pacific. The integration of the Sun Flour Industry rice business and Shandong Huanong Specialty Corn further broaden our specialty portfolio and capacity while the integration of TIC Gums further expands our texture capabilities and enables us to deliver custom solutions faster. We have taken additional restructuring actions to right size our South American business and we will continue our disciplined approach to cost management. Our current expectation for adjusted EPS for the year is $7.50-$7.80," Gordon highlighted.
