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, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2019, 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, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial reporting and do not include all disclosures required by U.S. 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, 2018 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, 2018 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Error Correction 

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company identified an error associated with disclosing 2018 accrued capital expenditures and adjusting for them as non-cash investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company has evaluated the materiality of the error and concluded it was not material to any of the previously issued consolidated financial statements. However, the Company has elected to revise its consolidated cash flow statement for the period ending March 31, 2018 to correct the error.

The following table presents the effect of the revision on the selected line items previously reported in the consolidated cash flows statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2018:

These accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect the impact of this revision. The revision of the Company’s interim consolidated statements of cash flows in the previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 will be effected in connection with the Company’s filing of its Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
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 (ROU 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance which allows an additional transition method to adopt the new leases standard at the adoption date, as compared to the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption (the effective date method). The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, and has elected the effective date method. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of prior conclusions to contracts containing a lease, lease classification, and initial direct costs. As an accounting policy election, the Company will exclude short-term leases (term of 12 months or less) from the balance sheet. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Please see Note 8, "Leases", for further 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 adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, and there was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
Issued but not yet adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This amendment modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The eliminated disclosures include the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. New disclosures include the interest crediting rates for cash balance plans, and an explanation of significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Early adoption is 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. 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. There were no significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration upon adoption.

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 our 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, including:
flavor enhancers in beverages;
electrolytes in sports drinks;
texture modifiers in cheeses;
leavening agents in baked goods;
calcium and phosphorus fortification in food and beverages;
moisture and color retention in seafood, poultry and meat;
mineral, enzyme and botanical sources for a wide variety of fortified foods, beverages and dietary supplements;
excipients in vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals; and
abrasives in toothpaste.

Each product typically has a number of different applications and end uses. For example, the Company's dicalcium phosphate product can be used as an excipient for pharmaceutical and dietary supplements, a leavening agent in bakery products and as an abrasive in oral care products. The Company often works directly with customers to tailor products to their required specifications for their finished product application.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)

The Company's Core Ingredients product line includes food grade purified phosphoric acid, or PPA, technical grade PPA, sodium tripolyphosphate, or 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, or GTSP, and merchant green phosphoric acid, or 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 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 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.

3. Earnings per Share (EPS)

The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260 and related guidance, which requires two calculations of earnings per share (EPS) to be disclosed: basic EPS and diluted EPS. Under ASC Subtopic 260-10-45, as of January 1, 2009 unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as 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:

8. Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease Right of Use, or ROU, assets and noncurrent lease liabilities are presented as distinct accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Current lease liabilities are included within Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company does not have any Finance leases. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments, as the implicit rate is not readily determinable. The Company gives consideration to publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rates. The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Certain leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease up to five years and certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. We include options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in our evaluation of the lease term after considering all relevant economic and financial factors. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component.

The Company primarily leases rail cars, inventory tanks, buildings, equipment, and fleet cars. The Company recorded ROU assets of $48.8 million and lease liabilities of $48.9 million, respectively at January 1, 2019. The impact to the Company's Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was not material. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 43 leases, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 20 years.

Under one of its warehousing agreements with third-party service providers, the Company controls the amount, timing, placing, and removing of items for the entire capacity of the warehouse. Therefore the Company controls the asset, and

Page 14 of 40



Table of Contents

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)

the warehouse is deemed to be leased for accounting purposes. For this warehousing agreement, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components separately. The lease component consists of the warehouse and the non-lease components consist of services, such as loading, unloading, and maintenance. The Company allocates the consideration in the warehousing agreement to the lease and non-lease components using their relative standalone prices.
    
In December 2018, the Company sold its Chicago Heights, IL warehouse for $23.0 million. Under the agreement, the Company is leasing back the property from the purchaser over a period of 20 years. The Company is accounting for the leaseback as an operating lease. The annual rent for the initial period of five years is approximately $1.5 million plus taxes and subsequently will increase 10% every five years through the end of the lease. Prior to the adoption of the new lease standard, gains on sale-leaseback transactions were deferred and recognized in the statement of comprehensive income over the lease term. Under the new lease standard, gains on sale-leaseback transactions (subject to adjustment for off-market terms) are recognized immediately. Therefore, the sale-leaseback gain of $11.9 million (net of tax of $4.0 million) was deferred as of December 31, 2018 and on the transition to ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019, was reclassed to retained earnings.

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, 2019, $330.0 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 $119.3 million, taking into account $0.7 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. The current weighted average interest rate for all debt is 4.6%.
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, 2019, the Company was in full compliance with all debt covenant requirements.
Based on $180.0 million outstanding borrowings as floating rate debt, an immediate increase of one percentage point would cause an increase to interest expense of approximately $1.8 million per year.
Total interest paid by the Company for all indebtedness for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was $3.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, swapping the LIBOR exposure of $150.0 million of floating rate debt, which is currently outstanding under our Credit Agreement, to a fixed rate to maturity obligation of 2.677% expiring in November 2021.
The Company manages interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to the extent practicable consistent with the credit status.

13. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on income before taxes was approximately 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to approximately 30% for the comparable period in 2018. The change in the components of the effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in the incremental U.S. tax on global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, of 3%, partially offset by foreign exchange effects resulting in a 1% increase in the effective tax rate and reduced excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation resulting in a 1% increase in the effective tax rate.
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 2014 through 2017. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits was unchanged. The Company estimates the liability for unrecognized tax benefits will not change during the next twelve months. Other than the items mentioned above, as of March 31, 2019, 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 $2.6 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

14. 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

Page 19 of 40



Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)

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, 2019.
Litigation

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.

17. 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.

18. Supply Agreement Termination
    
In June 2018, the Company agreed to terminate a previously long-term supply agreement and replaced it with a short-term agreement. In December 2018, as a result of the termination, the Company received consideration of $24.9 million which included $21.3 million in cash as well as receipt of certain tangible assets with a fair value of $3.6 million. The consideration was recorded as a deferred liability with $9.5 million in Other current liabilities and the remaining $15.4 million recorded in Other long-term liabilities. Beginning in January 2019, the deferred liability is being amortized on a straight-line basis through July 2021, which is the end of the new supply agreement, as a reduction of Cost of goods sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 amortization of the deferred liability was $2.4 million.

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
Revenues are now forecasted to be 1-2% below 2018 revenue of $802 million. This revised range reflects the impact from the softer demand the Company began to experience in Q1 in certain Industrial Specialties categories. The Company expects the order pattern and Midwest flooding time delays experienced in the first quarter to rebound over the next two quarters. Additionally, Innophos continues to expect positive year-over-year revenue contribution from price increases and new product wins to be offset by the discontinuation of lower-margin FHN nutrition trading business in 2018, lower co-product sales in the Other segment due to efficiency improvements and indirect tariffs pressure from competition redirecting mostly technical grade product to international markets.

In Q2 2019, Innophos will undergo and complete a planned annual maintenance shut down on one of its production units at the Coatzacoalcos, Mexico facility. This will result in $3 million of maintenance and under-absorption costs, which were already reflected in the Company’s 2019 guidance.
From a GAAP and cash perspective, the expectation is that costs will be higher during the first half of 2019. The anticipated non-recurring portion is expected to be adjusted for non-GAAP reporting purposes, such as value chain transition expense, which was completed in Q1 2019, and Mexico natural gas supply adjustment charges.
Capital investments are expected to be in line with 2018 to finalize the value chain and manufacturing optimization program that commenced in last year. Average working capital is also estimated to remain in line with 2018.
The Company expects its effective tax rate to operate in the 28-32% range.

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, 2019 were $191.4 million, a decrease of $14.0 million, or 6.8%, as compared to $205.4 million for the same period in 2018, with prices up 3.7%, and volumes lower by 10.5%. Food, Health and Nutrition segment sales were down 8.9%, or $11.3 million, with selling prices higher by 4.4%, or $5.5 million, but volumes lower by 13.3%, or $16.8 million. Industrial Specialties sales were down 0.2%, or $0.1 million, with volumes lower by 3.7%, or $2.4 million, but selling prices higher by 3.5%, or $2.3 million. Other sales were lower by 16.4%, or $2.6 million, with volumes lower by 15.5%, or $2.5 million, and selling prices lower by 0.9%, or $0.1 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, 2019 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:

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, 2019 were $20.8 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 13.0%, as compared to $23.9 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease was mainly due to $1.1 million lower depreciation and $2.0 million lower administration costs from acquisition synergies.
Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $15.6 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 14.8%, as compared to $18.3 million for the same period in 2018. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 8.2% versus 8.9% for the same period in 2018, for the reasons noted above.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense, including deferred financing amortization expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.7 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 27.6%, as compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher market interest rates.

Table of Contents

Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was a gain of $0.4 million as compared to a gain of $0.2 million for the same period in 2018. The U.S. 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-U.S. Dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Such gains and losses fluctuate from period to period as the foreign currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. Dollar and the amount of non-U.S. Dollar denominated assets and liabilities increases or decreases.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on income before taxes was approximately 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to approximately 30% for the comparable period in 2018. The change in the components of the effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in the incremental U.S. tax on global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, of 3%, partially offset by foreign exchange effects resulting in a 1% increase in the effective tax rate and reduced excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation resulting in a 1% increase in the effective tax rate.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $8.7 million, as compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2018, due to the factors described above.

Three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018
Segment Net Sales:
Food, Health and Nutrition net sales decreased 8.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018. Volumes decreased 13.3%, due to the Company's decision to discontinue a portion of low-margin nutrition trading business, order pattern and weaker than expected demand in certain Industrial Specialties categories, related in part to "indirect" tariff effects. Average selling price increased 4.4%.
Industrial Specialties net sales decreased 0.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018. Volumes decreased 3.7% due to impacts from U.S. Midwest flooding, but average selling prices increased by 3.5%.
Other net sales decreased 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018. Volumes decreased 15.5% due primarily to order pattern, and average selling prices decreased 0.9%.
Segment EBITDA Percentage of Net Sales:

The 250 basis point decrease in Food, Health and Nutrition EBITDA margins for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018 is due to higher raw material costs, largely sulfur and MGA, which decreased margins by 270 basis points, lower sales volume/mix which decreased margins by 270 basis points, higher manufacturing costs which decreased margins by 220 basis points, value chain transition costs which decreased margins by 80 basis points, higher severance which decreased margins by 50 basis points, and higher natural gas costs at our Coatzacoalcos, Mexico manufacturing facility which decreased margins by 20 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by higher average selling prices which increased margins by 360 basis points, lower operating costs which increased margins by 200 basis points, and supply agreement termination amortization which increased margins by 100 basis points.

The 320 basis point decrease in Industrial Specialties EBITDA margins for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018 is due to higher manufacturing and operating costs which decreased margins by 260 basis points, lower sales volume/mix which decreased margins by 190 basis points, higher natural gas costs at our Coatzacoalcos, Mexico manufacturing facility which decreased margins by 90 basis points, value chain transition costs which decreased margins by 90 basis points, higher raw material costs which decreased margins by 80 basis points, and higher severance which decreased margins by 40 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by higher average selling prices which increased margins by 290 basis points and supply agreement termination amortization which increased margins by 140 basis points.

The 2,020 basis point increase in Other EBITDA margins for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018 is due to lower manufacturing and operating costs which increased margins 1,760 basis points, higher sales volume/mix which increased margins by 1,040 basis points, supply agreement termination amortization which increased margins by 150 basis points, and other items that increased margins by 40 basis points. This increase was partially offset by higher raw material costs which decreased margins by 620 basis points, higher natural gas costs at our Coatzacoalcos, Mexico manufacturing facility which decreased margins by 230 basis points, lower selling prices which decreased margins 80 basis points, and value chain transition costs which decreased margins by 40 basis points.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical
Our principal liquidity requirements have been, and we expect will be, for working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, debt service, and our quarterly dividend program. Currently, the annual dividend payment is $1.92 per share or approximately $38 million. We do not currently have a share repurchase program in place. Capital investments are expected to be in line with 2018 to finalize the value chain and manufacturing optimization program that commenced in 2018. We have historically satisfied our liquidity requirements with internally generated cash flows and availability under our revolving credit facility. We expect that our ability to generate cash from our operations and ability to borrow from our credit facilities should be sufficient to support working capital needs, planned growth and capital expenditures for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

Net cash used in operating activities was $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.5 million provided from operating activities for the same period in 2018, a decrease in cash of $11.0 million. The decrease in operating activities cash largely resulted from higher working capital needs, primarily due to unfavorable changes in accounts payable of $19.7 million and accounts receivable of $3.3 million, partially offset by a favorable change in inventory of $15.4 million.
Net cash used for investing activities was $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2018, an increase in cash of $5.2 million. The increase was due to $5.2 million decrease in capital spending.
Approximately 60% of the 2019 capital spending was for strategic growth initiatives and the remaining 40% was for plant maintenance projects.
Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was a source of $20.4 million, compared to a source of $25.4 million the same period in 2018, a decrease in cash of $5.0 million. This decrease in cash was due to decreased loan borrowings.
On March 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents outside the United States of $15.1 million, or 72% 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 pay additional taxes, such as withholding taxes, to repatriate these funds.

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, 2018.
 
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, 2019, we had a $450.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $330.0 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 $119.3 million, taking into account $0.7 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, swapping the LIBOR exposure of $150.0 million of

floating rate debt, which is currently outstanding under our Credit Agreement, to a fixed rate to maturity obligation of 2.677% expiring in November 2021. The fair value of this interest rate swap is a liability of approximately $1.9 million as of March 31, 2019 and is included in other long-term liabilities.
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 to 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 $180.0 million outstanding borrowings as floating rate debt, an immediate increase of one percentage point would cause an increase to interest expense of approximately $1.8 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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, 2019, 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.
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 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
