Acquisitions | 3. Acquisitions ​ Acquisitions ​ On April 1, 2021, the Company acquired KaTech, a privately-held company headquartered in Germany. KaTech provides advanced texture and stabilization solutions to the food and beverage industry. To complete the closing, the Company made a total cash payment of $40 million, net of $2 million of cash acquired, which it funded from cash on hand. The results of KaTech are reported on a one-month lag within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements during the integration process of the companies. KaTech’s operational results are recorded in the Company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) reportable business segment. ​ On November 3, 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 80% of the outstanding shares of Verdient Foods, Inc. (“Verdient”), 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 Company had previously entered into an equity method investment with 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. The results of the acquired operation are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the acquisition date within the North America reportable business segment. ​ 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 the 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 owns 75% of PureCircle, with the remaining 25% 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 Condensed 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 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 assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction for each acquisition are generally recorded at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisitions are expensed as incurred. ​ The acquisitions of KaTech and Verdient added a total of $36 million of goodwill and $35 million of tangible assets as of their respective acquisition dates. The purchase accounting for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for KaTech and Verdient is preliminarily recorded based on available information and incorporating management’s best estimates. ​ The purchase accounting for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for PureCircle is complete, except for goodwill and taxes, which are preliminarily recorded based on available information and incorporating management’s best estimates. The purchase accounting for taxes remains preliminary pending receipt of certain information required to finalize the determination of fair value. ​ 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 June 30, 2021: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(in millions) |  | ​ | PureCircle | ​
Working capital (excluding cash) | ​ | $ | 68 | ​
Property, plant and equipment | ​ |  | 91 | ​
Other, net | ​ | ​ | (22) | ​
Identifiable intangible assets | ​ |  | 68 | ​
Goodwill | ​ |  | 77 | ​
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 include 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. ​ Pro-forma results of operation for any of the foregoing acquisitions have not been presented as the effect of each acquisition individually and in the aggregate with other acquisitions would not be material to the Company’s results of operations for any periods presented. ​ The Company incurred $5 million and $6 million of pre-tax acquisition and integration costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company incurred $3 million of pre-tax acquisition and integration costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. ​ Equity Method Investments ​ On June 1, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with Amyris, Inc. (“Amyris”) for certain exclusive commercialization rights to Amyris’ rebaudioside M by fermentation (“Reb M”) product; the exclusive licensing of Amyris’ Reb M sweetener manufacturing technology; and a 31% ownership stake in a Reb M joint venture. In exchange for its ownership interest in the joint venture, Ingredion contributed $28 million of total consideration including $10 million of cash and non-exclusive intellectual property licenses and other consideration valued at $18 million. The transaction resulted in $8 million of Other (income) expense, net recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The $8 million gain includes $18 million of other income related to non-exclusive intellectual property licenses and other consideration contributed by Ingredion for the Company’s stake in the joint venture, offset by a $10 million cash payment made by a subsidiary of Ingredion to Amyris for the exclusive right to the Reb M sweetener manufacturing technology license from Amyris. ​ The Company incurred $1 million of pre-tax direct transaction costs to acquire the investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
