INGREDION INCORPORATED (“Ingredion”)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Interim Financial Statements

References to the “Company” are to Ingredion Incorporated (“Ingredion”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein were prepared by management on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2013. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full years.

2. New Accounting Standards

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires new asset and liability offsetting disclosures for derivatives, repurchase agreements and security lending transactions to the extent that they are: (1) offset in the financial statements; or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This Update requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2013. The Company’s derivative instruments are not offset in the financial statements and are not subject to right of offset provisions with our counterparties. Accordingly, this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s first quarter 2013 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements but could have an impact on future disclosures. Additional information about derivative instruments can be found in Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This Update does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements; however, it requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income for only amounts reclassified in their entirety in the same reporting period. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures required by this Update are provided in Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This Update clarifies the guidance pertaining to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) to resolve diversity in practice. The Update clarifies that when a company ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the company should release any related CTA into net income. In such instances, the CTA should be released into net income only if a sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The Update also requires the release of the CTA (or applicable pro rata portion thereof) upon the sale or partial sale of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity and for a step acquisition in which the acquirer held an equity method investment prior to obtaining control. The guidance in this Update is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the guidance contained in this Update will impact the accounting for the CTA upon the de-recognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity; and the effect will be dependent upon a relevant transaction at that time.

3. Restructuring Charges

As part of a manufacturing optimization program developed in conjunction with the acquisition of National Starch to improve profitability, in the second quarter of 2011 the Company committed to a plan to optimize its production capabilities at certain of its North American facilities. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring charges to write-off certain equipment by the plan completion date. The plan was completed in October 2012 and the equipment has been completely written off. For the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded charges of $4 million, of which $3 million represented accelerated depreciation on the equipment.

4. Segment Information

The Company is principally engaged in the production and sale of starches and sweeteners for a wide range of industries, and is managed geographically on a regional basis. The Company’s operations are classified into four reportable business segments: North America, South America, Asia Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”). The North America segment includes businesses in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company’s South America segment includes businesses in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and the Southern Cone of South America, which includes Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. The Asia Pacific segment includes businesses in Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, India, Australia and New Zealand. The Company’s EMEA segment includes businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany, South Africa, Pakistan and Kenya.

5. Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company has manufacturing operations in North America, South America, Asia Pacific and EMEA. The Company’s products are made primarily from corn.

The Company is exposed to market risk stemming from changes in commodity prices (corn and natural gas), foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, the Company actively manages its exposure to these market risks by entering into various hedging transactions, authorized under established policies that place clear controls on these activities. These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties. Derivative financial instruments currently used by the Company consist of commodity futures, options and swap contracts, forward currency contracts and options, and interest rate swaps.

Commodity price hedging: The Company’s principal use of derivative financial instruments is to manage commodity price risk in North America relating to anticipated

purchases of corn and natural gas to be used in the manufacturing process, generally over the next twelve to eighteen months. To manage price risk related to corn purchases in North America, the Company uses corn futures and options contracts that trade on regulated commodity exchanges to lock-in its corn costs associated with firm-priced customer sales contracts. The Company uses over-the-counter gas swaps to hedge a portion of its natural gas usage in North America. These derivative financial instruments limit the impact that volatility resulting from fluctuations in market prices will have on corn and natural gas purchases and have been designated as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and losses associated with marking the commodity hedging contracts to market are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and included in the equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (“AOCI”). These amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the month in which the related corn or natural gas impacts earnings or in the month a hedge is determined to be ineffective. The Company assesses the effectiveness of a commodity hedge contract based on changes in the contract’s fair value. The changes in the market value of such contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in the price of the hedged items. The amounts representing the ineffectiveness of these cash flow hedges are not significant.

At March 31, 2013, AOCI included $28 million of losses, net of income taxes of $14 million, pertaining to commodities-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

Interest rate hedging: Derivative financial instruments that have been used by the Company to manage its interest rate risk consist of Treasury Lock agreements (“T-Locks”) and interest rate swaps. The Company did not have any T-locks outstanding at March 31, 2013.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rate on its 3.2 percent $350 million senior notes due November 1, 2015 to a variable rate. These swap agreements call for the Company to receive interest at a fixed rate (3.2 percent) and to pay interest at a variable rate based on the six-month US dollar LIBOR rate plus a spread. The Company has designated these interest rate swap agreements as hedges of the changes in fair value of the underlying debt obligation attributable to changes in interest rates and accounts for them as fair value hedges. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the variability in the fair value of outstanding debt obligations are reported in earnings. These amounts offset the gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of the hedged debt instrument that is attributable to changes in interest rates (that is, the hedged risk), which is also recognized in earnings. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements approximated $20 million at March 31, 2013 and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within other non-current assets, with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amount of the hedged debt obligation.

Foreign currency hedging: Due to the Company’s global operations, it is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, the Company has exposure to translational foreign exchange risk when its foreign operation results are translated to US dollars and to transactional foreign exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the operating unit are revalued. The Company primarily uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to manage its transactional foreign exchange risk. These derivative financial instruments are primarily accounted for as fair value hedges. At March 31, 2013, the Company had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $282 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $124 million that hedged transactional exposures. At December 31, 2012, the Company had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $268 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $167 million that hedged transactional exposures. The fair value of these derivative instruments was approximately $2 million and $5 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The fair value and balance sheet location of the Company’s derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges and presented gross on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are reflected below:

	Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

						Non-current liabilities	4		6
Total		$	4	$	5		$	49	$	40

At March 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 75 million bushels of corn and 14 million pounds of soy bean oil. Also at March 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding swap and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 16 million mmbtu’s of natural gas.

At March 31, 2013, AOCI included approximately $25 million of losses, net of income taxes of $13 million, on commodities-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges that are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. The Company expects the losses to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities cost. Additionally at March 31, 2013, AOCI included approximately $2 million of losses on settled T-Locks, net of income taxes of $1 million, which are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.

Presented below are the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments and derivatives for the periods presented:

	At March 31, 2013								At December 31, 2012
(in millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	3	$	3	$	—	$	—	$	3	$	3	$	—	$	—
Derivative assets	26		2		24		—		25		5		20		—

Long-term debt	1,891		—		1,891		—		1,914		—		1,914		—

Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The carrying values of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate fair values. Commodity futures, options and swap contracts, which are designated as hedges of specific volumes of commodities, are recognized at fair value. Foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options hedge transactional foreign exchange risk related to assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency and are recognized at fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on quotations of major securities dealers who are market makers in the securities. At March 31, 2013, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1.72 billion and $1.89 billion, respectively.

6. Share-Based Compensation

A summary of information with respect to share-based compensation is as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2013		2012
Total share-based compensation expense included in net income	$	4.6	$	4.3
Income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense included in net income	$	1.4	$	1.4

Stock Options:

Under the Company’s stock incentive plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices that equal the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The options have a 10-year term and are exercisable upon vesting, which occurs evenly over a three-year period at the anniversary dates of the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for all awards.

The Company granted non-qualified options to purchase 415 thousand shares and 457 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Expected life (in years)	5.8		5.8
Risk-free interest rate	1.11	%	1.07	%
Expected volatility	32.64	%	33.33	%
Expected dividend yield	1.57	%	1.18	%

The expected life of options represents the weighted-average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and the Company’s historical exercise patterns. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date for the period corresponding with the expected life of the options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. Dividend yields are based on historical dividend payments.

Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was as follows:

(dollars and options in thousands, except per share amounts)	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2012	3,032		$	35.66
Granted	415		66.07
Exercised	(287	)	29.64
Cancelled	(19	)	56.44

Restricted Shares of Common Stock and Restricted Stock Units:

The Company has granted shares of restricted common stock (“restricted shares”) and restricted stock units (“restricted units”) to certain key employees. The restricted shares and restricted units are subject to cliff vesting, generally after three to five years provided the employee remains in the service of the Company. The grant date fair value of the restricted shares and restricted units is determined based upon the number of shares granted and the ending market price of the Company’s stock at the grant date. Expense recognized for restricted shares and restricted units for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, was $2 million and $1 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes restricted share and restricted unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a major supplier of high-quality food and industrial ingredients to customers around the world. We have 36 manufacturing plants located throughout North America, South America, Asia Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and we manage and operate our businesses at a regional level. We believe this approach provides us with a unique understanding of the cultures and product requirements in each of the geographic markets in which we operate, bringing added value to our customers. Our ingredients are used by customers in the food, beverage, animal feed, paper and corrugating, and brewing industries, among others.

Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2013 increased from the results of a year ago, driven principally by operating income growth in our North America and Asia Pacific segments. Our business performed well during the first quarter and we anticipate net sales and earnings per share growth in 2013.

We currently expect that our available cash balances, future cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to fund our anticipated capital expenditures, dividends, and other investing and/or financing activities for the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

We have significant operations in North America, South America, Asia Pacific and EMEA. For most of our foreign subsidiaries, the local foreign currency is the functional currency. Accordingly, revenues and expenses denominated in the functional currencies of these subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at the applicable average exchange rates for the period. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the US dollar amounts of our foreign subsidiaries’ revenues and expenses. The impact of currency exchange rate changes, where significant, is provided below.

For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

With Comparatives for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Net Income attributable to Ingredion. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased to $110.8 million, or $1.41 per diluted common share, from $94.2 million, or $1.21 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2012. The results for the first three months of 2012 included after-tax restructuring charges of $2.5 million ($0.03 per diluted common share) related to our manufacturing optimization plan in North America and after-tax costs of $1.5 million ($0.02 per diluted common share) associated with our integration of National Starch.

Without the integration and restructuring costs in 2012, net income and diluted earnings per common share for 2013 would have increased 13 percent and 12 percent, respectively, from 2012. The increase in net income primarily reflects operating income growth in North America and Asia Pacific, driven principally by improved product selling prices. Additionally, a lower effective income tax rate and reduced financing costs contributed to our improved earnings.

Net Sales. First quarter net sales totaled $1.58 billion, up 1 percent from first quarter 2012 net sales of $1.57 billion. The increase in net sales reflects price/product mix improvement of 5 percent, which more than offset a 2 percent volume reduction and a 2 percent decline attributable to unfavorable currency translation associated with weaker foreign currencies.

North American net sales for first quarter 2013 increased 2 percent to $910 million, from $892 million a year ago. This increase reflects improved price/product mix of 5 percent, which more than offset a 3 percent volume decline. In South America, first quarter 2013 net sales declined 5 percent to $349 million from $368 million a year ago, as a 10 percent reduction from unfavorable currency translation and a volume decline of 3 percent primarily reflecting weak economic conditions and excess capacity in the brewery industry, more than offset improved price/product mix of 8 percent. In Asia Pacific, first quarter 2013 net sales increased 3 percent to $196 million from $189 million a year ago. The increase reflects improved price/product mix of 3 percent and a 2 percent benefit from favorable currency translation primarily attributable to stronger Asian currencies, which more than offset a 2 percent volume reduction. The volume reduction reflects the effect of the fourth quarter 2012 sale of our investment in our Chinese non-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, Shouguang Golden Far East Modified Starch Co., Ltd. EMEA net sales for first quarter 2013 increased 3 percent to $130 million from $126 million last year. This increase reflects a 5 percent price/product mix improvement and 2 percent volume growth, which more than offset unfavorable currency translation of 4 percent.

Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses. Cost of sales of $1.28 billion for first quarter 2013 was flat as compared to the prior year period. Higher raw material costs were offset by reduced volume, the impacts of currency translation and the impacts of continued cost savings focus. Currency translation caused cost of sales for 2013 to decrease approximately 2 percent from 2012, reflecting the impact of weaker foreign currencies, particularly in South America. Gross corn costs per ton for 2013 increased approximately 7 percent from 2012 driven by higher market prices for corn. Our gross profit margin for first quarter 2013 was 19 percent, consistent with the year-ago period.

First quarter 2013 operating expenses decreased slightly to $135.5 million from $136.2 million last year. First quarter 2012 operating expenses included $2.4 million of integration costs. Without the integration costs, operating expenses for first quarter 2013 would have increased approximately 1 percent from the prior year period. This increase primarily reflects higher compensation-related costs, partially offset by the impact of weaker foreign currencies and the favorable impacts of our continued cost savings initiatives. Currency translation caused first quarter 2013 operating expenses to decrease approximately 2 percent from a year ago. Operating expenses for first quarter 2013 represented 8.6 percent of net sales, down from 8.7 percent a year ago. Without integration costs in the first quarter of 2012, operating expenses would have represented 8.5 percent of net sales a year ago.

Other Income-net. Other income-net for first quarter 2013 was $5 million, consistent with the year-ago period. Other income-net primarily includes various miscellaneous tax and insurance recoveries.

Operating Income. First quarter 2013 operating income increased 9 percent to $175 million, from $161 million a year ago. First quarter 2012 included a $4 million restructuring charge associated with our manufacturing optimization initiative in North America and $2 million of costs pertaining to the integration of National Starch. Without the integration and restructuring costs in 2012, operating income for first quarter 2013 would have increased 5 percent from $167 million a year ago. This increase primarily reflects improved product selling prices. Unfavorable currency translation associated with weaker foreign currencies caused operating income to decline by approximately $6 million from the prior year period. North America operating income for first quarter 2013 increased 8 percent to $107.7 million from $100.0 million a year ago. This increase primarily reflects improved product selling prices. South America operating income for first quarter 2013 decreased 5 percent to $43.4 million from $45.6 million a year ago. Improved product price/mix largely offset the unfavorable impacts of higher local product costs; translation effects associated with weaker South American currencies (particularly the Argentine Peso and Brazilian Real), which had a $5 million unfavorable impact on the segment; and lower volumes due to soft demand from a weaker economy. Asia Pacific operating income for first quarter 2013 increased 13 percent to $23.0 million from $20.3 million a year ago, primarily driven by improved selling prices for our products. EMEA first quarter 2013 operating income increased 2 percent to $19.3 million from $18.9 million a year ago. The increase primarily reflects higher product selling prices and volume growth driven by improved demand for our products. Translation effects associated with weaker foreign currencies reduced EMEA operating income by approximately $1 million.

Financing Costs-net. Financing costs for first quarter 2013 decreased to $16.8 million from $19.5 million a year ago. This decline primarily reflects reduced interest expense driven by lower average borrowings and interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 decreased to 29.2 percent from 32.4 percent a year ago.

On January 2, 2013, President Obama signed into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which retroactively extended into 2012 certain tax provisions that would have otherwise expired. As a result, our first quarter 2013 tax provision includes approximately $1.5 million of tax benefit related to the US research and development credit and Subpart F income recognition provisions, which lowered the global effective tax rate by 90 basis points.

The Company has requested a determination from a Canadian federal court regarding the tax treatment of a prior period transaction. It is reasonably possible that the determination could be received in the next 12 months. A favorable determination would result in a discrete tax benefit of approximately $4.5 million.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests. The net income attributable to non-controlling interests for first quarter 2013 was $1.2 million, as compared with $1.5 million a year ago. The decrease primarily reflects lower earnings from our operations in Pakistan.

Comprehensive Income Attributable to Ingredion. We recorded comprehensive income of $69 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared with $106 million a year ago. The decrease primarily reflects unfavorable currency translation, which more than offset our net income growth. The unfavorable variance in the currency translation adjustment reflects a

weakening in end-of-period foreign currencies at March 31, 2013 relative to the US dollar, as compared to a year ago when end-of-period foreign currencies had strengthened.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first three months of 2013 we used $30 million of cash for operating activities, as compared to the year-ago period, when we generated $29 million of cash from operating activities. The decrease in operating cash flow primarily reflects an increase in our investment in working capital, which more than offset our net income growth. Our working capital increase for first quarter 2013 was driven principally by an increase in inventory quantities, an increase in accounts receivable due to higher sales and the timing of collections, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments. The first quarter 2013 usages of cash associated with working capital changes are expected to reverse during the remainder of 2013. We anticipate that we will generate cash from operations of approximately $700 million for the full year 2013.

Capital expenditures of $66 million for the first three months of 2013 are in line with our capital spending plan for the year. We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be in the range of approximately $350 million to $400 million for full year 2013.

We have a senior, unsecured $1 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) that matures on October 22, 2017. At March 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Agreement. In addition to borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Agreement, we also have approximately $479 million of unused operating lines of credit in the various foreign countries in which we operate.

At March 31, 2013, we had total debt outstanding of $1.81 billion, compared to $1.80 billion at December 31, 2012. The debt includes $350 million (principal amount) of 3.2 percent notes due 2015, $300 million (principal amount) of 1.8 percent senior notes due 2017, $200 million of 6.0 percent senior notes due 2017, $200 million of 5.62 percent senior notes due 2020, $400 million (principal amount) of 4.625 percent notes due 2020, $250 million (principal amount) of 6.625 percent senior notes due 2037 and $87 million of consolidated subsidiary debt consisting of local country short-term borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on our total indebtedness was approximately 4.3 percent for the first three months of 2013, down from 4.6 percent in the comparable prior-year period.

On March 20, 2013, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share of common stock, a 46 percent increase from the previous quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share. This dividend was paid on April 25, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2013.

We have not provided federal and state income taxes on accumulated undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because these earnings are planned to be permanently reinvested. Approximately $256 million of our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2013

is held by our operations outside of the United States. We expect that available cash balances and credit facilities in the United States, along with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our operating and cash needs for the foreseeable future. It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings. We do not anticipate the need to repatriate funds to the United States to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

Hedging

We are exposed to market risk stemming from changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, we actively manage our exposure to these market risks by entering into various hedging transactions, authorized under established policies that place clear controls on these activities. These transactions utilize exchange-traded derivatives or over-the-counter derivatives with investment grade counterparties. Our hedging transactions may include, but are not limited to, a variety of derivative financial instruments such as commodity futures, options and swap contracts, forward currency contracts and options, interest rate swap agreements and treasury lock agreements. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Commodity Price Risk:

We use derivatives to manage price risk related to purchases of corn and natural gas used in the manufacturing process. We periodically enter into futures, options and swap contracts for a portion of our anticipated corn and natural gas usage, generally over the following twelve to eighteen months, in order to hedge price risk associated with fluctuations in market prices. These derivative instruments are recognized at fair value and have effectively reduced our exposure to changes in market prices for these commodities. We are unable to directly hedge price risk related to co-product sales. Unrealized gains and losses associated with marking our commodities-based derivative instruments to market are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). At March 31, 2013, our accumulated other comprehensive loss account (“AOCI”) included $28 million of losses, net of income taxes of $14 million, related to these derivative instruments. It is anticipated that approximately $25 million of these losses, net of income taxes of $13 million, will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. We expect the losses to be offset by changes in the underlying commodities cost.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk:

Due to our global operations, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, we have exposure to translational foreign exchange risk when our foreign operation results are translated to US dollars and to transactional foreign exchange risk when transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the operating unit are revalued. We primarily use foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and options to selectively hedge our foreign currency transactional exposures. We generally hedge these exposures up to twelve months forward. At March 31, 2013, we had foreign currency forward sales contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $282 million and foreign currency forward purchase contracts with

an aggregate notional amount of $124 million that hedged transactional exposures. The fair value of these derivative instruments was approximately $2 million at March 31, 2013.

Interest Rate Risk:

We occasionally use interest rate swaps and Treasury Lock agreements (“T-Locks”) to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes, to reduce the volatility of our financing costs, or to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions. At March 31, 2013, we did not have any T-Locks outstanding.

We have interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the interest rate on our 3.2 percent $350 million senior notes due November 1, 2015 to a variable rate. These swap agreements call for us to receive interest at a fixed rate (3.2 percent) and to pay interest at a variable rate based on the six-month US dollar LIBOR rate plus a spread. We have designated these interest rate swap agreements as hedges of the changes in fair value of the underlying debt obligation attributable to changes in interest rates and account for them as fair value hedges. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements approximated $20 million at March 31, 2013 and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within other non-current assets, with an offsetting amount recorded in long-term debt to adjust the carrying amount of the hedged debt obligation.

At March 31, 2013, AOCI included $10 million of losses (net of income taxes of $6 million) related to settled T-Locks. These deferred losses are being amortized to financing costs over the terms of the senior notes with which they are associated. It is anticipated that $2 million of these losses (net of income taxes of $1 million) will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.
