Acquisitions | NOTE 3 – Acquisitions ​ On July 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of a controlling interest in PureCircle Limited (“PureCircle”). PureCircle is one of the leading producers and innovators of plant-based stevia sweeteners for global food and beverage industries. To complete the closing, the Company made a total cash payment of $208 million, net of $14 million of cash acquired, which it funded from cash on hand. After the closing, the Company owned 75% of PureCircle, while the remaining 25% is owned by former PureCircle shareholders. PureCircle is consolidated by Ingredion for financial reporting purposes, with a corresponding redeemable non-controlling interest of $74 million recorded for the portion not owned by the Company at the time of acquisition. The results of PureCircle are reported on a one-month lag within the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements during the integration process of the companies. The results of the acquired operations are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the acquisition date within the Asia-Pacific reportable segment. Pro-forma results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented as the effect of the acquisition would not be material to the Company’s results of operations for any periods presented. ​ The Company has completed its allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, except for goodwill, contingent liabilities, and taxes, which were preliminarily recorded based on information and incorporating management’s best estimates. Contingent liabilities and taxes remain preliminary pending receipt of certain information required to finalize the determination of fair value. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction are generally recorded at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. ​ Goodwill represents the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill results from synergies and other operational benefits expected to be derived from the acquisition. The goodwill related to PureCircle is not tax-deductible due to the structure of the acquisition. ​ The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocations for the PureCircle acquisition as of December 31, 2020: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(in millions) |  | ​ | PureCircle | ​
Working capital (excluding cash) | ​ | $ | 60 | ​
Property, plant and equipment | ​ |  | 91 | ​
Other, net | ​ | ​ | (22) | ​
Identifiable intangible assets | ​ |  | 68 | ​
Goodwill | ​ |  | 85 | ​
Total fair value, net of cash | ​ | ​ | 282 | ​
Less: Non-redeemable non-controlling interests | ​ | ​ | 74 | ​
Total purchase price, net of cash |  | $ | 208 | ​
​ The identifiable intangible assets for the acquisition of a controlling interest in PureCircle includes customer relationships, tradenames, and proprietary technology. The fair values of these intangible assets were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for fair value estimates to be made in situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for an asset or liability at the measurement date. For more information on the fair value hierarchy, see Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. ​ During the 12 months ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into an equity method investment with Verdient Foods, Inc. (“Verdient”) by acquiring 20% of its outstanding shares. Verdient is a Canada-based producer of pulse-based protein concentrates and flours from peas, lentils, and fava beans for human food applications. On November 3, 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 80% of the outstanding shares, as well as the leased land and buildings not owned by Verdient. To complete the closing, the Company made a total cash payment of CAD $33 million (USD $26 million), which it funded from cash on hand. The results of the acquired operation are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the acquisition date within the North America business segment. A preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was made based on available information and incorporating management’s best estimates. The acquisition of Verdient added $14 million of goodwill and $15 million of tangible assets as of the acquisition date. Pro-forma results of operations for the acquisition made in the year ended December 31, 2020 have not been presented as the effect of the acquisition would not be material to the Company’s results of operations for any periods presented. ​ On March 1, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Western Polymer LLC (“Western Polymer”), a privately-held, U.S.-based company headquartered in Moses Lake, Washington, that produces native and modified potato starches for industrial and food applications for $42 million, net of cash acquired of $4 million. The acquisition expanded the Company's potato starch manufacturing capacity, enhanced its processing capabilities, and broadened its higher-value specialty ingredients business and customer base. The results of the acquired operation are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the acquisition date within the North America business segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation for the Western Polymer acquisition. The finalization of goodwill and intangible assets did not have a significant impact on previously estimated amounts. The acquisition of Western Polymer added $13 million of goodwill and intangible assets and $29 million of tangible assets as of the acquisition date. Pro-forma results of operations for the acquisition made in the year ended December 31, 2019 have not been presented as the effect of the acquisition would not be material to the Company’s results of operations for any periods presented. ​ The Company incurred $11 million, $3 million, and $0 of pre-tax acquisition and integration costs in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, associated with its acquisitions.
