Item 2.05    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On May 1, 2026, Ingredion Incorporated (the “Company”) committed to a plan to cease operations at its Cabo, Brazil manufacturing facility (the “Cabo manufacturing facility”) as of June 30, 2026. The Company expects to sell the manufacturing facility and the underlying real property but has not entered into a contract of sale as of the date of this report.
The Company expects to incur pre-tax non-recurring charges of approximately $43 million under the plan, of which approximately $36 million is expected to consist of impairment charges relating to fixed asset and inventory write-downs and approximately $7 million is expected to consist of cash expenditures for employee-related costs, severance payments, and other termination-related costs. The Company expects to incur the majority of these charges in the second quarter of 2026 and the remaining charges in subsequent fiscal periods through the first quarter of 2027.
The foregoing estimates of the charges the Company expects to incur under the plan are subject to assumptions, and actual charges may differ from such estimates.
Item 2.06    Material Impairments.
The information set forth in Item 2.05 is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.06.
In connection with the cessation of operations at the Cabo manufacturing facility, the Company expects to record approximately $36 million in pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges in the second quarter of 2026 relating to fixed asset and inventory write-downs.
