Current report

Net income attributable to Ingredion for year-to-date 2025 increased to $393 million from $364 million for year-to-date 2024. Excluding the $82 million pre-tax gain from the sale of our South Korea business in February 2024, the net income increase was primarily due to a 21 percent increase in operating income to $547 million for year-to-date 2025 from $453 million for year-to-date 2024, which was driven by corn and input costs declining faster than the decrease in net sales. Net sales decreased 3 percent to $3,646 million for year-to-date 2025 compared to $3,760 million for year-to-date 2024. Excluding the impact of lost sales volume from the sale of our South Korea business in February 2024, net sales decreased 2 percent from year-to-date 2025 compared to the same year-to-date period of 2024.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which introduced a broad range of tax reforms. Key provisions of the law that are relevant to our business include the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to international tax rules, and the reinstatement of favorable tax treatment for specific business activities. We are currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.

Current report

Other operating income. Other operating income was $5 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $8 million for the second quarter of 2024. The change was primarily due to a reduction in our share of operating income from the Argentina joint venture, partly offset by favorable indirect taxes in Brazil.

Current report

Restructuring/impairment charges. Restructuring/impairment charges were $3 million for the second quarter of 2025 primarily related to decommissioning costs for previously announced facility closures, compared to $23 million for the second quarter of 2024, which were primarily for impairment charges related to certain equity investments.

Current report

Financing costs. Financing costs increased 20 percent to $12 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $10 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Current report

Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 was 23.6 percent and 34.8 percent. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the change in value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and the tax impact from an impairment of an equity method investment during the second quarter of 2024.

Current report

Current report

Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased 7 percent to $2,703 million for year-to-date 2025 compared to $2,897 million for year-to-date 2024.

Current report

Financing costs. Financing costs decreased 28 percent to $21 million for year-to-date 2025 compared to $29 million for year-to-date 2024.

Most of our products are made locally and sold locally. We sell the vast majority of our products to customers in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, where trade is governed by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”).

Although our efforts to date have been successful, we continue to monitor changing tariff requirements and reciprocal actions, as well as indirect effects in the economic environment, which may adversely affect our operations.
