SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Innophos,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Innophos Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” or “would,” and/or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our expectations of the future, about which we cannot be certain. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include, among other things, statements about: (1) global macroeconomic conditions and trends; (2) the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in foreign currencies, interest rates and turmoil in capital markets; (3) changes in regulatory controls regarding tariffs, duties, taxes and income tax rates; (4) our ability to implement and refine our Vision 2022 growth plan; (5) our ability to successfully identify and complete acquisitions in line with our Vision 2022 growth plan and effectively operate and integrate acquired businesses to realize the anticipated benefits of those acquisitions; (6) our ability to realize expected cost savings and efficiencies from our performance improvement and other optimization initiatives; (7) our ability to effectively compete in our markets, and to successfully develop new and competitive products that appeal to our customers; (8) changes in consumer preferences and demand for our products or a decline in consumer confidence and spending; (9) our ability to benefit from our investments in assets and human capital and the ability to complete projects successfully and on budget; (10) economic, regulatory and political risks associated with our international operations, most notably Mexico and China; (11) volatility and increases in the price of raw materials, energy and transportation, and fluctuations in the quality and availability of raw materials and process aids; (12) the impact of a disruption in our supply chain or our relationship with our suppliers; (13) our ability to comply with, and the costs associated with compliance with, U.S. and foreign environmental protection laws; (14) our ability to meet quality and regulatory standards in the various jurisdictions in which we have operations or conduct business; and (15) other information that is not historical information.
You should refer to “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2018, for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties that may substantially impact our business. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict the impact of all of these factors on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame or at all. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any documents that we reference in this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

1. Basis of Statement Presentation
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Innophos have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") for interim financial reporting and do not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2017 and for the three years then ended.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments which management considers necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods and is subject to year-end adjustments. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The December 31, 2017 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the effective date of this guidance by one year (with an option to early adopt at the original effective date), making it effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective transition method on January 1, 2018. The Company concluded that revenues remain materially unchanged from the prior revenue recognition model and therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. Please see Note 3, "Revenues", for further disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Clarification on Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments on the Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of contingent consideration arising from a business combination, insurance settlement proceeds, and distributions from certain equity method investees. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which reduces the complexity in the accounting standards by allowing the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Historically, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. This amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. There are no new disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted in the first interim period of 2017. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis in this interim period and recorded an immaterial cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Under the ASU, changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents would be included along with those of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities
INNOPHOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)
would no longer present transfers between cash/equivalents and restricted cash/equivalents in the statement of cash flows. In addition, a reconciliation between the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows would be disclosed when the balance sheet includes more than one line item for cash/equivalents and restricted cash/equivalents. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which narrows the existing definition of a business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business. The ASU requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities (collectively, the set) is not a business. To be considered a business, the set would need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The standard also narrows the definition of outputs. The definition of a business affects areas of accounting such as acquisitions, disposals and goodwill. Under the new guidance, fewer acquired sets are expected to be considered businesses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost, which requires that only the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs be recorded as compensation cost in the operating expense section of the income statement. All other components of net periodic benefit cost (interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of net loss) will be presented in other income (loss), net. This standard update is effective beginning with the first quarter 2018 and must be applied retrospectively. The Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting, which requires all modifications to be accounted for as a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the award as equity or liability are the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. The Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05 associated with the accounting and disclosures around the enactment of the Act and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), which the Company has adopted. See Note 14 for the disclosures related to this amended guidance.
Issued but not yet adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. While the Company is continuing to assess the effect of adoption, it currently believes the most significant changes relate to the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for railcar and tank operating leases. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of adoption of the ASU on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to accounting for hedging activities. This standard more closely aligns the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. This standard also addresses specific limitations in current GAAP by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. Additionally, by aligning the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item for cash flow and net investment hedges, and by including the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is presented, the results of an entity’s hedging program and the cost of executing that program will be more visible to users of financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with

early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
2. Acquisitions
On August 25, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of GenNx Novel Holding, Inc. (together with its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, "Novel Ingredients"). Novel Ingredients was a privately-held specialty ingredients supplier of botanicals, proteins, amino acids and other healthy ingredients, as well as branded ingredient and custom formulated solutions, headquartered in East Hanover, NJ. The Company made an initial $125 million cash payment, subsequently adjusted lower by $1.3 million for post-closing working capital adjustments, for total consideration of $123.7 million. The acquisition was funded by borrowings under its existing credit facility. The addition of Novel Ingredients grows Innophos' Food, Health, and Nutrition ("FHN") portfolio, expanding its presence in high-growth nutrition end-markets and positioning the Company to more effectively develop innovative ingredient solutions that better serve its customers. Novel Ingredients serves attractive end-markets driven by health and wellness consumer trends such as immune health, sports nutrition, and cognitive health.
On November 3, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of NutraGenesis LLC, Icon Group LLC, and Tradeworks Group, Inc. (collectively referred to as "NutraGenesis"). NutraGenesis was a privately-held Vermont-based marketer of proprietary, branded and science-backed nutraceutical ingredients. The Company made a $27.4 million cash payment, subject to post-closing working capital adjustments, which was funded by borrowings under its existing credit facility. NutraGenesis is highly complementary to the Novel Ingredients acquisition and the Company's branded ingredients portfolio. NutraGenesis serves attractive high-growth end-markets, including stress reduction, weight management, joint health, brain health and metabolic wellness, that are driven by health and wellness consumer trends.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company's results of operations included revenues of $33.6 million and a $0.9 million net income attributable to Novel Ingredients and NutraGenesis.
The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition and will be included in the Food, Health and Nutrition operating segment. The goodwill of $68.3 million arising from the acquisitions consists of expected revenue and cost synergies, operational know-how, and acquired workforce. Approximately $24.0 million of the goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

The three months ended March 31, 2018 includes non-recurring integration costs of approximately $0.8 million in selling, general and administrative expense.
3. Revenue Recognition
Adoption of ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Based on the results of the analysis performed on the Company's effective contracts as of the initial application, the Company has concluded that revenues are expected to remain substantially unchanged from the previous revenue recognition model, and therefore, the adoption of the new standard does not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of goods is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Control passes either upon shipment or delivery, depending on the agreed sales terms with customers.
Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. The Company believes there will not be significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration.
The Company reports its business in three operating segments: Food, Health, and Nutrition; Industrial Specialties; and Other. The Company has three principal product lines within these operating segments: (i) Specialty Ingredients; (ii) Core Ingredients; and (iii) Co-Products and Other. Revenue recognition is measured on the same basis across these segments, products, markets, and geographic countries, with the performance obligation being the transfer of control of goods at a single point in time.

Revenues for the geographic information are attributed to geographic areas based on the destination of the sale.
The Company's payment terms vary by geography and location of its customer and the products offered. Invoices are generated upon shipment of the goods, with the term between invoicing and when payment is due being insignificant.
Food, Health, and Nutrition and Industrial Specialties
The Food, Health and Nutrition reporting segment, as well as the Industrial Specialties reporting segment, consists of products in the Specialty Ingredients and Core Ingredients product lines.
Specialty Ingredients are the most value adding products in the Company's portfolio. Specialty Ingredients consist of specialty phosphate products, specialty phosphoric acids, including polyphosphoric acid, and a range of other mineral, enzyme and botanical based specialty ingredients. The Company's Specialty Ingredients products have a wide range of applications, such as flavor enhancers in beverages, electrolytes in sports drinks, and excipients in vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals, among others.
The Company's Core Ingredients product line includes food grade purified phosphoric acid ("PPA"), technical grade PPA, sodium tripolyphosphate ("STPP"), and detergent grade PPA. Food grade PPA can be used to produce phosphate salts and has a variety of applications in food and beverages. Technical grade PPA has applications in water treatment. The Company also sells technical grade PPA in the merchant market to third-party phosphate derivative producers. STPP is a key ingredient in cleaning products, including industrial and institutional cleaners and automatic dishwashing detergents and consumer laundry detergents outside the United States. In addition to its use in cleaning products, STPP is also used in water treatment, clay processing, and copper ore processing. The end use market for STPP is largely derived from consumer product applications. Detergent Grade PPA is a lower grade form of PPA used primarily in the production of STPP.
Other
The Other reporting segment consists of products in the Co-Products and Other product line.
The Company's Co-Products and Other product line includes granular triple super phosphate ("GTSP"), and merchant green phosphoric acid ("MGA"). GTSP is generated at the Company's Coatzacoalcos facility in Mexico as a co-product of its purified wet acid manufacturing process. GTSP is a fertilizer product used throughout Latin America for increasing crop yields in a wide range of agricultural sectors. The Company sells MGA in the merchant market to third party manufacturers of fertilizer products.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions
Management reviewed the practical expedients which a Company may utilize when implementing Topic 606. As such, the Company has applied the practical expedient related to significant financing components and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
4. Earnings per Share (EPS)
The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, which requires two calculations of earnings per share ("EPS") to be disclosed: basic EPS and diluted EPS. Under ASC Subtopic 260-10-45, unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as the Company's restricted stock, are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating EPS. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.
The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share is net earnings attributable to shareholders reduced by dividends attributable to unvested shares. The denominator for basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. The denominator for diluted earnings per share is weighted average shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options, performance share awards and restricted stock awards.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average basic number of common shares outstanding to the diluted number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding and the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method:

The Company's credit facility includes a revolving line of credit from the lenders of up to $450.0 million, including a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $20.0 million swingline loan facility, all maturing on December 22, 2021. The credit agreement governing this facility also provides for possible additional revolving indebtedness under an incremental facility of up to $150.0 million (for an aggregate of revolving capacity up to $600.0 million) upon future request by the Company to existing lenders (and depending on their consent) or from other willing financial institutions invited by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent to join in the credit agreement. This revolving credit facility increase, if implemented, may provide for higher applicable margins to either the increased portion or possibly the entire revolving credit facility, with limitations, than those in effect for the original revolving commitments under the credit agreement.
As of March 31, 2018, $345.0 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit, which approximates fair value (determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy) with total availability at $103.9 million, taking into account $1.1 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. The current weighted average interest rate for all debt is 4.0%.
Among its affirmative covenants, the credit agreement governing this credit facility requires the Company to maintain the following consolidated ratios (as defined and calculated according to the credit agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter:
(a) “Total Leverage Ratio” less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00.
(b) “Interest Coverage Ratio” greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company was in full compliance with all debt covenant requirements.
Based on $345.0 million outstanding borrowings as floating rate debt, an immediate increase of one percentage point would cause an increase to interest expense of approximately $3.5 million per year.

14. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on income before taxes was approximately 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to approximately 28% for the comparable period in 2017. The change in the components of the effective tax rate are primarily due to the enactment of the Tax Act and changes in excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation. The reduction in the statutory U.S. Federal corporate tax rate and a change of mix of U.S. to foreign earnings resulted in an 8% decrease in the effective tax rate. This was offset by the incremental U.S. tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) resulting in an increase to the effective tax rate by 4%. Further, the rate increased 5% resulting from a smaller excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Act. The Tax Act significantly changes U.S. corporate income tax laws by, among other things, reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and transitioning U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system.
Beginning in 2018, the Tax Act includes two new U.S. provisions, namely the GILTI provisions and the base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) provisions.
The GILTI provisions require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions as a period cost.
The BEAT provisions in the Tax Act eliminate the deduction of certain base-erosion payments made to related foreign corporations, and impose a minimum tax if greater than regular tax. The Company does not expect to have any material tax

impacts of BEAT and therefore has not recorded any related tax impacts in its consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2018.
On December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB 118 to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. In accordance with SAB 118 and ASU 2018-05, the Company has recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the re-measurement of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the one-time, mandatory transition tax on deemed repatriation during the year ended December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, we have not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to these items. Such adjustments may be necessary in future periods due to, among other things, the significant complexity of the Act and anticipated additional regulatory guidance that may be issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), changes in analysis, interpretations and assumptions the Company has made and actions the Company may take as a result of the Act. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded within the one year measurement period allowed by SAB 118.
Business is conducted in various countries throughout the world and is subject to tax in numerous jurisdictions. A significant number of tax returns are filed and subject to examination by various federal, state and local tax authorities. Tax examinations are often complex, as tax authorities may disagree with the treatment of items reported requiring several years to resolve. As such, the Company maintains liabilities for possible assessments by tax authorities resulting from known tax exposures for uncertain income tax positions. The Company’s policy is to accrue associated penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses and to accrue interest in net interest expense. Currently, the Company is under examination, or has been contacted for examination on income tax returns, for the years 2009 through 2015. Also, certain state income tax assessments are under protest and the Company believes its financial position is sustainable. The Company estimates the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $2.4 million during the next twelve months as a result of possible settlements of income tax authority examinations. Other than the items mentioned above, as of March 31, 2018, no material adjustments have been proposed to the Company's tax positions and the Company currently does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position during the next twelve months.
Income taxes paid were $3.4 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
The Company's operations are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local and international environmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company's manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial use, and soil and groundwater contamination have or may have occurred in the past and might occur or be discovered in the future.
Environmental efforts are difficult to assess for numerous reasons, including the discovery of new remedial sites, discovery of new information and scarcity of reliable information pertaining to certain sites, improvements in technology, changes in environmental laws and regulations, numerous possible remedial techniques and solutions, difficulty in assessing the involvement of and the financial capability of other potentially responsible parties and the extended time periods over which remediation occurs. Other than the items listed below, the Company is not aware of material environmental liabilities which are probable and estimable. As the Company's environmental contingencies are more clearly determined, it is reasonably possible that amounts may need to be accrued. However, management does not believe, based on current information, that environmental remediation requirements will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Future environmental spending is probable at the Company's site in Nashville, Tennessee, the eastern portion of which had been used historically as a landfill, and a western parcel therein, previously acquired from a third party, which reportedly had housed, but no longer does, a fertilizer and pesticide manufacturing facility. The Company has an estimated liability with a range of $0.9 million-$1.3 million. The remedial action plan for that site has yet to be finalized, and as such, the Company has recorded a liability, which represents the Company's best estimate, of $1.1 million as of March 31, 2018.

Other Legal Matters
In addition, the Company is a party to legal proceedings and contractual disputes that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Except as to the matters specifically discussed, management believes the likelihood that the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows is remote. However, these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

19. Segment Reporting
The Company discloses certain financial and supplementary information about its reportable segments, revenue by products and revenues by geographic area. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in order to decide how to allocate resources and assess performance. The primary performance indicators for the chief operating decision maker are sales and EBITDA (defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization). All references to sales in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are recognized when title and risk of loss passes to the customer, which occurs either upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the agreed sales terms with customers.
The Company's chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker and has determined to assess the Company's performance and allocate the appropriate resources based on the following operating segments: (1) Food, Health and Nutrition; (2) Industrial Specialties; and (3) Other. These reporting segments accurately reflect the underlying business dynamics and align with the strategic direction of the Company.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Innophos is a leading international producer of specialty ingredient solutions that deliver versatile benefits for the food, health, nutrition and industrial markets. Innophos combines more than a century of experience in specialty phosphate manufacturing with a broad range of other specialty nutritional ingredients. Many of Innophos' products are application-specific compounds engineered to meet customer performance requirements and are often critical to the taste, texture and performance of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, oral care products and other applications. For example, Innophos products act as flavor enhancers in beverages, electrolytes in sports drinks, texture additives in cheeses, leavening agents in baked goods, pharmaceutical excipients, cleaning agents in toothpaste, and they also provide a wide range of nutritional fortification solutions for food, beverage and nutritional supplement manufacturers.
Recent Trends and Outlook
The proactive selling price increase program that was implemented in the fourth quarter of 2017 has been effective in offsetting input cost increases in the first quarter. In response to the operating environment continuing to show cost inflation, the Company has taken further price increase actions in its specialty phosphates portfolio to take effect on June 1, 2018.
The Company continues to expect full year 2018 revenue to grow 12% to 14% due to the annualized contributions from acquisitions, favorable growth in the specialty nutrition end-markets served, and stabilization in the legacy business.
Full year GAAP EPS is expected to more than double in 2018. This includes an improvement in 2018 full year EPS of approximately $0.16 per diluted share due to the lower effective tax rate.
The Company expects free cash flow (net cash provided from operating activities plus cash used for capital expenditures) to be similar to prior year with capital cash outflow of approximately $45 million to principally support the strategic value chain repositioning and manufacturing optimization programs.

Net Sales
Net sales represent the selling price of the products, net of any customer-related rebates, plus freight and any other items invoiced to customers. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $205.4 million, an increase of $39.5 million, or 23.8%, as compared to $165.9 million for the same period in 2017, with prices up 1.5%, and volumes higher by 22.3%, of which 20.2% resulted from acquisitions made in the second half of 2017 and 2.1% resulted from the legacy business. Food, Health and Nutrition (FHN) segment sales were up 38.7%, or $35.3 million, with selling prices higher by 0.5%, or $0.5 million, and volumes higher by 38.2%, or $34.8 million. The 2017 acquisitions contributed $33.6 million, or 36.9%, of the volume growth and the legacy business grew by $1.2 million, or 1.3%. Industrial Specialties sales were down 0.5%, or $0.3 million, with volumes lower by 3.0%, or $1.9 million, but selling prices higher by 2.5%, or $1.6 million. Other sales were higher by 40.6%, or $4.5 million, with volume higher by 37.4%, or $4.1 million, due to additional sales to South American fertilizer markets, and selling prices higher by 3.2%, or $0.4 million.
The Company calculates pure selling price dollar variances as the selling price for the current year to date period minus the selling price for the prior year to date period, and then multiplies the resulting selling price difference by the prior year to date period volume. Volume variance is calculated as the total sales variance minus the selling price variance and refers to the revenue effect of changes in tons sold at the relative prices applicable to the variation in tons, otherwise known as volume/mix.
The following table illustrates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 the percentage changes in net sales by reportable segment compared with the same period of the prior year, including the effect of price and volume/mix changes upon revenue:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| Price | | Volume/Mix | | Total |
Food, Health and Nutrition | 0.5 | % | | 38.2 | % | | 38.7 | % |
Industrial Specialties | 2.5 | % | | (3.0 | )% | | (0.5 | )% |
Other | 3.2 | % | | 37.4 | % | | 40.6 | % |
Total | 1.5 | % | | 22.3 | % | | 23.8 | % |
Gross Profit
Gross profit represents net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $42.2 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 15.6%, as compared to $36.5 million for the same period in 2017. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 20.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 versus 22.0% for the same period in 2017. Gross profit in 2018 was favorably affected by $10.8 million from higher sales volumes, including sales volumes from the 2017 acquisition companies, and $2.5 million higher selling prices. Gross profit was unfavorably affected in 2018 by $3.6 million of higher manufacturing costs, $2.3 million of higher raw material costs, mainly sulfur, and $1.7 million higher depreciation and intangible amortization expense.
Operating Expenses and Research and Development
Operating expenses consist primarily of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $23.9 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 18.9%, as compared to $20.1 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was mainly due to acquisitions included in the current year cost base.
Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $18.3 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 11.6%, as compared to $16.4 million for the same period in 2017. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 8.9% versus 9.9% for the same period in 2017, for the reasons noted above.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense, including deferred financing amortization expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 107.1%, as compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher market interest rates and a higher average loan balance due from the 2017 acquisitions.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was a gain of $0.2 million as compared to a gain of $0.1 million for the same period in 2017. The US Dollar is the functional currency of our Mexican and Canadian operations. The Company has greater foreign denominated asset balances (largely Mexican Peso and Canadian Dollar), such as VAT receivables and prepaid income taxes in foreign jurisdictions, than offsetting foreign denominated liability balances. Foreign exchange gain or loss is recorded on remeasurement of non-US Dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Such gains and losses fluctuate from period to period as the foreign currencies strengthen or weaken against the US Dollar and the amount of non-US Dollar denominated assets and liabilities increases or decreases.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on income before taxes was approximately 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to approximately 28% for the comparable period in 2017. The change in the components of the effective tax rate are primarily due to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and changes in excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation. The reduction in the statutory U.S. Federal corporate tax rate and a change of mix of U.S. to foreign earnings resulted in an 8% decrease in the effective tax rate. This was offset by the incremental U.S. tax on global intangible low-taxed income resulting in an increase to the effective tax rate by 4%. Further, the rate increased 5% resulting from a smaller excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $10.9 million, as compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2017, due to the factors described above.
Segment Reporting
The Company's chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker and has determined to assess the Company's performance and allocate the appropriate resources based on the following operating segments: (1) Food, Health and Nutrition; (2) Industrial Specialties; and (3) Other. The new reporting segments accurately reflect the underlying business dynamics and align with the strategic direction of the Company. The primary performance indicators for the chief operating decision maker are sales and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. The following table sets forth the results of these indicators by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

The 220 basis point decrease in Food, Health and Nutrition EBITDA margins for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017 is due to the 2017 acquisitions which decreased margins by 230 basis points, increased raw material costs, mainly sulfur, which decreased margins by 150 basis points, lower sales volume/mix which decreased margins by 20 basis points, and higher operating costs which decreased margins by 20 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by lower manufacturing costs which increased margins by 150 basis points, higher average selling prices which increased margins by 40 basis points, and the change in translation which increased margins by 10 basis points.
The 90 basis point increase in Industrial Specialties EBITDA margins for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017 is due to higher average selling prices which increased margins by 210 basis points, higher sales volume/mix which increased margins by 160 basis points, and lower operating costs which increased margins by 70 basis points. This increase was partially offset by higher manufacturing costs which decreased margins 200 basis points and higher raw material costs, mainly sulfur, which decreased margins by 150 basis points.
The 300 basis point decrease in Other EBITDA margins for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017 is due to higher manufacturing costs which decreased margins 2,020 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by higher sales volume/mix which increased margins by 1,010 basis points, lower operating costs which increased margins 330 basis points, higher selling prices which increased margins 290 basis points, the change in translation which increased margins by 50 basis points, and lower raw material costs which increased margins by 40 basis points.

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to three months ended March 31, 2017
Net cash used by operating activities was $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to a use of $10.7 million for 2017, an increase in cash of $6.5 million. The increase in operating activities cash resulted from favorable changes of $3.2 million in working capital, $2.2 million non-cash adjustments to income and a favorable change of $1.1 million in other long term assets and liabilities.
The change in working capital is derived from it being a use of cash of $26.8 million in 2018 compared to a use of $30.0 million in 2017, an increase in cash of $3.2 million. The change in working capital was due to favorable changes in other current assets of $4.5 million, primarily due to timing of vendor prepayments, accounts receivable of $0.9 million, and inventory of $0.4 million. These favorable effects were partially offset by unfavorable changes in other current liabilities of $2.0 million and accounts payable of $0.6 million.
Net cash used for investing activities was $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $7.5 million for 2017, a decrease in cash of $1.9 million. The change was due to $1.0 million cash received from the sale of an administrative building in 2017 and a $0.9 million increase in capital spending.
Approximately 40% of the 2018 capital spending was for strategic growth initiatives and the remaining 60% was for plant maintenance projects. Our expectation for 2018 capital expenditures is approximately $45 million due to additional requirements to support strategic manufacturing initiatives, along with continuous improvement in our plants.
Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $25.4 million, compared to a use of $5.7 million in 2017, an increase in cash of $31.1 million. This increase in cash was largely due to increased loan borrowings for seasonal working capital needs which were primarily funded with cash on hand in the first quarter of 2017.
The Company may from time to time seek to acquire or otherwise retire outstanding debt through privately negotiated transactions, exchanges or otherwise. Debt repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, Company liquidity requirements, restrictive financial covenants and other factors applicable at the time. The amounts involved may be material.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company spent $1.7 million related to restructuring activities initiated during the third quarter of 2015, and anticipates spending $0.3 million within the next twelve months.
On March 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents outside the United States of $33.5 million, or 82% of the Company's balance. The foreign cash amounts are not restricted by law to be used in other countries. The Company's current operating plan does not include any other repatriation of any additional cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States to fund the United States operations. However, in the event we do repatriate cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States, we may be required to accrue and pay additional taxes, such as withholding taxes, to repatriate these funds.
The Company’s available financial resources allow for the continuation of dividend payments, pursuit of acquisition
projects and further geographic expansion initiatives. We further believe that on hand cash combined with cash generated from
operations, including our Mexican operations, and availability under our revolving line of credit in our credit agreement, will be sufficient to meet our obligations such as debt service, tax payments, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. We expect to fund all these obligations through our existing cash, our future operating cash flows and our existing revolving line of credit. However, future operating performance for the Company is subject to prevailing
economic and competitive conditions and various other factors that are uncertain. If the cash flows and other capital resources
available to the Company, such as its revolving loan facility, are insufficient to fund our debt and other liquidity needs, the
Company may have to take alternative actions that differ from current operating plans.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
There have been no material changes from the critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations. Primary exposures include changes in interest rates, as borrowings under our credit agreement will bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin. We manage our interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to the extent practicable consistent with our credit status. For fixed-rate debt, interest rate changes do not affect earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating-rate debt, interest rate changes generally affect our earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.
At March 31, 2018, we had a $450.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $345.0 million of variable-rate debt was outstanding, which approximates fair value (determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy). Total remaining availability was $103.9 million, taking into account $1.1 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility.
Changes in economic conditions could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing our interest expense on our revolving line of credit. Changes in economic conditions may also result in lower operating income, reducing our funds available for capital investment, operations or other purposes. In addition, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow and available borrowing capacity on our credit facility has been used to repurchase shares, pay dividends, fund capital expenditures, fund working capital needs and service debt, which may affect our ability to make future acquisitions. We have and may continue, but presently do not, use interest rate protection agreements to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuation. Regardless of hedges, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings or net assets as a result of interest rate fluctuations. Based on $345.0 million outstanding borrowings as floating rate debt, an immediate increase of one percentage point would cause an increase to interest expense of approximately $3.5 million per year.
We do not currently, but may from time to time, hedge our currency rate and energy risks.
We believe that our concentration of credit risk related to trade accounts receivable is limited since these receivables are spread among a number of customers and are geographically dispersed. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales in the last 3 years.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
The US Dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian and Mexican operations. Accordingly, these operations’ monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at current exchange rates, non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates and at historical exchange rates for the related revenue and expenses of non-monetary assets and liabilities. All transaction gains and losses are included in net income.
Our principal source of exchange rate exposure in our foreign operations consists of expenses, such as labor expenses, which are denominated in the foreign currency of the country in which we operate. A decline in the value of the US Dollar relative to the local currency would generally cause our operational expenses (particularly labor costs) to increase (conversely, a decline in the value of the foreign currency relative to the US Dollar would cause these expenses to decrease). We believe that normal exchange rate fluctuations consistent with recent historical trends would have a modest impact on our expenses, and would not materially affect our financial condition or results of operations. Nearly all of our sales are denominated in US Dollars and our exchange rate exposure in terms of sales revenues is minimal. However, the strength or weakness of the U.S. Dollar versus other currencies can affect our competitiveness in the United States and export markets.
Inflation and changing prices
Our costs and expenses will be subject to inflation and price fluctuations. Significant price fluctuations in raw materials, freight and energy costs, if not compensated for by cost savings from production efficiencies or price increases passed on to customers, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as “structured finance or special purpose entities”, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Control and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements and filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company completed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
The Company acquired Novel Ingredients on August 25, 2017 and NutraGenesis on November 3, 2017, both wholly owned subsidiaries, and is in the process of evaluating and integrating these companies into the Company’s existing internal controls over financial reporting. The Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018 will include Novel Ingredients and NutraGenesis, and the Company will disclose any material changes in its internal controls over financial reporting with respect to Novel Ingredients and NutraGenesis in future interim quarters and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during or with respect to the first quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
