COLOGNE, Germany, Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Singleron Biotechnologies, a pioneer in development and commercialization of innovative single cell sequencing analysis solutions, announces the launch of the first commercially available product that can quantify protein glycosylation at single cell level, ProMoSCOPE kit. This product uses a unique single-cell multi-omics technology that enables simultaneous quantification of glycosylation levels and gene expression on the single-cell level, making advanced high-throughput single-cell multimodal analysis more accessible.

Previously available single-cell sequencing technologies mainly focused on single-cell gene expression profiles, while proteins are studied to a lesser extent at a single-cell resolution. As post-translational modification of proteins, such as glycosylation, plays important roles in cellular function and diseases, ProMoSCOPE enables researchers to gain further insights to advance their understanding of complex biological systems.

ProMoSCOPE makes it possible to obtain quantitative multimodal information on both glycosylation and gene expression from the same single cells. Along with the rest of Singleron’s single cell multi-omic portfolio, this new product adds to the toolbox to advance translational research. ProMoSCOPE expands Singleron’s unique multi-omics solutions that include FocuSCOPE^®, a high-throughput single-cell sequencing solution that can detect both genetic variants and transcriptome from the same single cells, and DynaSCOPE^®, a single cell sequencing kit enabling to study RNA dynamics on a single cell level.

About Singleron
Founded in 2018, Singleron develops and commercializes single-cell multi-omics products that can be used in both research and clinical settings. Its current product portfolio includes instruments, microfluidic devices, reagents, software analysis and database solutions that facilitate high-throughput single-cell analysis. The company currently has offices, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities in Germany, Singapore, China, and the US. Its products are used in over 2000 laboratories in hospitals, research institutes, and pharmaceutical companies.

MILAN, Italy, Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The maritozzo in an evolved version, where its classic sweet nature is counterbalanced by a savory and decidedly gourmet reinterpretation. This is the proposal of Matì-Gourmet Maritozzi Pleasures, a Milanese restaurant at 23 Via Cesare Correnti. This is a new gastronomic reality that stimulates the taste and curiosity devoted to maritozzo, the famous sweet of the Roman culinary tradition, which has left the regional borders to conquer all of Italy.

Matì is the new boutique dedicated to refined palates, a must-visit destination for gourmand explorers of taste. The “atelier of maritozzo” in Milanese format is configured as the new culinary landing place in which to live a synaesthetic experience of taste capable of delighting eyes and taste buds. The idea of revisiting one of the Italian gastronomic cults in a gourmet key comes from the vision of four young entrepreneurs who propose an original reinterpretation of maritozzo: not only in the traditional sweet version, but also in a new savory proposal. Matteo Casaroli (Chef and Researcher), Arjuna Ullrich Rimbotti (Entrepreneur and Sommelier), Daniele Ionni (Production Manager) and Laura Muccini, (creative and entrepreneurial mind): these are the four founding partners who have combined skills and aspirations to bring the project to life by indulging the chef’s passion for the leavened and stuffed dough sphere.

Matì is carbon neutral. The genuine and authentic values behind Matì’s concept can be found in the responsible approach that the founders have declined in every part of the project: thanks to the collaboration with Green Future Project-an online platform that supports companies in CO2 offsetting processes. Even the paper used for packaging and communication materials is made from recycled materials.

Matì does not stop in Milan: the stop in Milan kicks off a journey in the making to take the premium street food project throughout Italy, major European capitals and Asia.

• Third quarter 2022 net sales of $2,023 million, 15% higher on a reported basis and 19% higher excluding foreign exchange impacts compared to the same period in 2021
• Third quarter 2022 reported and adjusted EPS^* were $1.59 and $1.73, respectively, compared to third quarter 2021 reported and adjusted EPS of $1.75 and 1.67, respectively
• The Company updates its outlook for full-year 2022 adjusted EPS to be in the range of $7.00-$7.45 versus the previous outlook of $6.90-$7.45

WESTCHESTER, Ill., Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to the food and beverage manufacturing industry, today reported results for the third quarter of 2022. The results, reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for 2022 and 2021, include items that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures that the Company presents.

“Ingredion delivered another strong quarter with net sales up 15%,” said Jim Zallie, Ingredion’s president and chief executive officer. “The results were driven by solid demand across both core and specialty ingredients combined with in-year, dynamic price management in each region led by our pricing centers of excellence. We fully offset higher input costs, expanded gross margins and delivered strong operating income growth.

“Specialty ingredients continued to grow double digits as we executed against our Driving Growth Roadmap, with net sales and gross profit margins higher across all four of our regions versus last year,” Zallie continued. “Among the highlights in the quarter, we commissioned our new Shandong, China production facility, more than doubling our local starch production capacity to serve this large and growing market. This well-timed expansion also enables us to leverage our new network capacity to support our European customers who are concerned about anticipated industry shortages for some starch products due to the severe summer drought. Additionally, supporting our sugar reduction growth platform, we received European Union approval for our bioconverted Reb M stevia solutions which further positions us to grow our PureCircle franchise.

“While the macro environment remains uncertain, our team continues to do a great job offsetting inflationary and foreign exchange headwinds while overcoming supply chain challenges to deliver growth. As we look forward, we are closely monitoring customers’ demand, and are currently working to ensure we meet their needs now and into the future,” Zallie concluded.

*Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted operating income, adjusted effective income tax rate and adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding are non-GAAP financial measures. See section II of the Supplemental Financial Information entitled “Non-GAAP Information” following the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this news release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

**Totals may not foot due to rounding; ***Related to the Argentina joint venture announcement, 2021 reported results reflect a $340 million assets held for sale impairment charge, net of a $20 million favorable adjustment made in the third quarter of 2021, including $311 million of cumulative translation losses.

Financial Highlights

• At September 30, 2022, total debt and cash including short-term investments were $2.4 billion and $298 million, respectively, versus $2.0 billion and $332 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021.
• Net financing costs for the third quarter were $24 million versus $20 million for the year-ago period.
• Reported and adjusted effective tax rates for the third quarter were 32.3 percent and 30.6 percent, respectively, compared to 22.2 percent and 21.5 percent, respectively, for the year-ago period. The increase in the reported effective income tax rate was primarily driven by U.S. international tax implications including foreign tax credits and an impairment charge adjustment in the third quarter of 2021.
• Year-to-date net capital expenditures were $196 million, up $10 million from the year-ago period.

Net Sales

• Third quarter and year-to-date net sales were up from the year-ago period. These increases were driven by strong price mix and volume, partially offset by lapping of prior year consolidated Argentina net sales volume. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, net sales were up 19% for the quarter and year-to-date.

Operating Income

• Third quarter reported and adjusted operating income were $182 million and $191 million, respectively, an increase of 6% and 17%, respectively, from the same period last year. The increase in reported operating income was driven by favorable price mix partially offset by the prior year favorable adjustment to the Argentina held for sale impairment. The increase in adjusted operating income was driven by strong price mix that more than offset higher corn and input costs. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were up 12% and 23%, respectively, from the same period last year.
• Year-to-date reported and adjusted operating income were $605 million and $619 million, respectively, an increase of 170% and 8%, respectively, from the year-ago period. The increase in reported operating income was attributable to the prior year’s held for sale impairment charge related to the Argentina joint venture. The increase in adjusted operating income was driven by strong price mix that more than offset higher corn and input costs. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, reported and adjusted operating income were up 179% and 12%, respectively, from the same period last year.

Dividends and Share Repurchases
For the first three quarters of 2022, the Company has paid total dividends of $133 million, and in the third quarter declared a quarterly dividend of $0.71 per share payable in the fourth quarter. This was a 9% increase from the prior dividend and is the eighth consecutive annual increase. During the quarter, the Company repurchased $29 million of outstanding shares of common stock, bringing Ingredion’s total share repurchases for the first three quarters of 2022 to $112 million. On September 26, 2022, the Company authorized a new stock repurchase program for up to 6 million shares through December 2025, replacing the previous program. Ingredion considers return of value to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases as part of its capital allocation strategy to support total shareholder return.

2022 Full-Year Outlook
The Company now expects its outlook for full-year 2022 reported EPS to be in the range of $6.90 to $7.20. Adjusted EPS is now expected to be in the range of $7.00 to $7.45, compared to adjusted EPS of $6.67 in 2021 and versus the previous outlook of $6.90 to $7.45. This expectation excludes acquisition-related integration and restructuring costs, as well as any potential impairment costs.

The Company expects full-year 2022 net sales to be up mid-double digits and adjusted operating income to be up low-double digits.

Compared to last year, the 2022 full-year outlook assumes the following: North America operating income is expected to be up low to mid-double digits, driven by favorable price mix more than offsetting higher corn and other input costs; South America operating income is expected to now be up high double-digits, driven by favorable price mix; Asia-Pacific operating income is expected to now be up mid-single digits, driven by PureCircle growth; and EMEA operating income is expected to now be flat to up low single-digits, driven by favorable price mix partially offset by higher input costs and foreign exchange impacts. Corporate costs are expected to be up mid-single digits.

For full-year 2022, the Company now expects a reported effective tax rate of 28.0 percent to 31.5 percent and an adjusted effective tax rate of 28.5 percent to 29.5 percent.

Cash from operations for full-year 2022 is now expected to be in the range of $225 million to $275 million, which reflects an anticipated increase in our working capital balances due to higher corn costs. Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be between $290 million and $320 million.

II. Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use non-GAAP historical financial measures, which exclude certain GAAP items such as acquisition and integration costs, restructuring and impairment costs, Mexico tax (benefit) provision, and other specified items. We generally use the term “adjusted” when referring to these non-GAAP amounts.
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and evaluating current performance. By disclosing non-GAAP financial measures, management intends to provide investors with a more meaningful, consistent comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; so our non-GAAP information is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables below.

Notes
(i) During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $1 million of pre-tax acquisition and integration charges related to our acquisition and integration of KaTech, as well as our investment in the Argentina joint venture. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $3 million and $1 million of pre-tax net acquisition and integration charges, respectively, related to our investments in the Amyris and Argentina joint ventures, as well as our acquisition of PureCircle Limited.
(ii) During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $4 million of remaining pre-tax restructuring-related charges for the Cost Smart program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded pre-tax restructuring-related charges of $8 million and $22 million, respectively, primarily related to our Cost Smart programs. The $22 million of charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are net of a $5 million gain on the sale of Stockton, California land and building that occurred during the second quarter of 2021.
(iii) During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $340 million net asset impairment charge related to the contribution of Ingredion’s Argentina operations to the Argentina joint venture. The impairment charge reflected a $29 million write-down to the agreed upon fair value of certain Argentina, Chile and Uruguay assets and liabilities contributed and a $311 million write-off of the cumulative translation losses related to the contributed net assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $20 million favorable adjustment to the impairment upon finalization of the transaction, which reduced the $360 million asset impairment charge recorded during the first quarter of 2021.
(iv) During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded pre-tax charges of $9 million primarily related to the impacts of a U.S.-based work stoppage. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a pre-tax benefit of $15 million to reflect a ruling the Brazilian Supreme Court issued in May 2021 that affirmed that we were entitled to certain indirect taxes.
(v) We recorded tax benefits of $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and tax provisions of $5 million and $4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as a result of the movement of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and its impact on the remeasurement of the Company’s Mexico financial statements during the periods.
(vi) This item relates to prior year tax liabilities and contingencies, the reversal of tax liabilities related to certain unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries, and tax results of the above non-GAAP addbacks.

Above is a reconciliation of our expected full-year 2022 diluted EPS to our expected full-year 2022 adjusted diluted EPS. The amounts above may not reflect certain future charges, costs and/or gains that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance. These amounts include, but are not limited to, adjustments to GAAP EPS for acquisition and integration costs, impairment and restructuring costs, and certain other items. We generally exclude these adjustments from our adjusted EPS guidance. For these reasons, we are more confident in our ability to forecast adjusted EPS than we are in our ability to forecast GAAP EPS.
These adjustments to GAAP EPS for 2022 include the following:
(i) Acquisition and integration charges for our acquisition and integration of KaTech, as well as our investment in the Argentina joint venture.
(ii) Remaining restructuring-related charges for the Cost Smart programs.
(iii) Charges to date primarily related to the impacts of a U.S.-based work stoppage.

Terrascope, a smart carbon measurement and management platform, announces strategic partnerships to offer large enterprises a connected solution to drive and scale decarbonisation across their business operations and supply chains. By bringing together the ecosystem of real economy stakeholders, financial institutions, reporting platforms, and sustainability consultants around a common software platform, Terrascope will enable the collaboration between internal teams and external expertise needed for enterprises to translate high level targets into specific decarbonisation action plans.

Since its commercial launch in June 2022, Terrascope has scaled across Agriculture, Food and Beverages, Industrial Manufacturing, Luxury Goods, Transportation and other categories all over the world.

“Accurate carbon measurement is just the first step of the decarbonisation journey. Terrascope also helps large enterprises manage emissions across their operations and supply chains. We are enhancing emissions management by bringing together experts with complementary strengths across the ESG ecosystem such as DBS Bank Singapore, Workiva, and ERM, to create end-to-end decarbonisation solutions for enterprises on their path to Net Zero,” Maya Hari, CEO, Terrascope.

The partnership between DBS Bank and Terrascope is aimed at timely and accurate carbon emissions measurement and management, to better assess the bankability of clients, and accelerate sustainable financing flows in Singapore and other markets in which DBS Bank operates.

“DBS is committed to achieving scale without compromising the integrity of sustainable finance. Terrascope will help our customers gain a more accurate and comprehensive picture of their carbon footprint, and enable DBS to provide financing to advance their decarbonisation journeys,” Yulanda Chung, Head of Sustainability at Institutional Banking Group, DBS Bank.

ERM, a pure-play sustainability advisory firm that advises corporates and financial institutions on sustainability, climate change, product stewardship, low carbon economy transition, and a number of other ESG related services, has also partnered with Terrascope to help large enterprises explore the right course of action once they’ve identified hotspots contributing to the highest emissions.

“ERM continues to play a critical role in advancing the region’s decarbonisation journey, working in partnership with our clients to address operationalising sustainability for our customers, underpinned by our deep technical expertise in addressing their environmental, health, safety, risk, and social challenges. The collaboration with Terrascope will pave the way for customers to better understand their carbon emission to effect smarter carbon measurement and management, as we help journey towards a low carbon economy,” Mark Errington, Chairman, Asia Pacific, ERM.

Workiva Inc., with its leading cloud platform for regulatory, financial and ESG reporting, has partnered with Terrascope to make the collaboration between ESG, audit, and financial reporting teams seamless.

“Businesses are under increasing pressure to provide clear, consistent and comparable sustainability data to regulators, investors and the community they serve.

Workiva’s end-to-end, audit-ready platform for collection, assembly, and reporting of financial and non-financial data is complemented by Terrascope’s ability to help enterprises measure and manage their carbon emissions.
