Continued Focus on Specialty Portfolio; Low Double-digit EPS Growth Expected through 2022

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., November 14, 2017 - Today senior executives of Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, will present a business overview to investment analysts. As previously announced, the presentation will be webcast.

"Over the past eight years we have significantly outpaced the S&P 500 with 25 percent annual total shareholder return. Guided by our Strategic Blueprint for Growth, we have transformed the business, expanding our portfolio and geographic scope, growing organically and continuously improving our operations," says Ilene Gordon, chairman, president and CEO. 

Jim Zallie, executive vice president global specialties and president Americas, and CEO elect, outlines Ingredion's path forward and objectives for 2022. "We anticipate strong growth opportunities focused on texture, sweetness and nutrition. And our robust technology capabilities and global innovation network give us a competitive advantage. Our focus will continue to be on higher-value specialty ingredients, with an objective to further grow revenue from these on-trend ingredient solutions. By 2022, we expect the specialty ingredient portfolio to generate 32 - 35 percent of net sales, up from an estimated 28 percent in 2017," he explains. 

Reviewing the Company's earnings growth algorithm, CFO James Gray says, "We expect that specialty ingredients will continue to grow at twice the rate of the remaining ingredient portfolio in net sales and gross profit growth. Net-sales growth for APAC, South America and EMEA is expected to exceed North America.   

"Our strong balance sheet and consistent cash generation should give us the flexibility to pursue a variety of options to enhance shareholder value, and deliver low double-digit EPS growth over the long term."
