"2016 was a meaningful and transformative year for Innophos as we strengthened the foundation of our business, delivered bottom line improvement and laid the groundwork for strategic growth," said Kim Ann Mink, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. "By remaining laser focused on reducing costs across the organization, we lowered input costs by a total of $22 million annually, $12 million of which was through our Operational Excellence initiatives and the balance from market conditions. Our 2016 financial results are a true testament to the performance driven culture we are cultivating at Innophos. Throughout the organization our teams are embracing the transformation that is underway, delivering results and displaying a commitment to excellence, transparency and accountability."
"The fourth quarter was highlighted by bottom line growth and tremendous cash generation. We grew margins even as we faced ongoing market headwinds. Our focus on efficient working capital resulted in meaningful free cash flow performance in the quarter that was more than triple the prior year. We also refinanced our credit facility with lower interest rates and an expanded capacity to support our Strategic Growth pillar."
"As we move forward into 2017, although we expect market headwinds to continue, we are well positioned to deliver enhanced shareholder value," Dr. Mink continued. "Our focus will be on executing additional bottom line savings as we move to the next phase of Operational Excellence initiatives, which will standardize processes and reduce costs while improving how we operate. In addition, our Commercial Excellence blueprint that better aligns our sales organization with market opportunities and key customers will be fully implemented. Further, we plan to drive sustainable growth through acquisitions in attractive, high-growth, functional food, health and nutrition market segments. We are actively seeking opportunities to expand our capabilities and build upon our experience in providing value-added and innovative technology-based solutions to these markets."
Dr. Mink concluded, "I am confident that in the year ahead, we will leverage the momentum of our progress in 2016 by taking the appropriate, decisive next steps to further strengthen our competitive position, improve profitability and solidify Innophos' future growth prospects."

Net sales for 2016 of $725 million were down 8% compared with 2015.
- Specialty Phosphates 2016 sales of $673 million were down 8% versus 2015, primarily on 7% lower volumes, in line with expectations.
- GTSP & Other 2016 sales of $52 million were down 8% versus 2015, primarily driven by lower market prices.
Net Income of $48 million was up $22 million, or 82%, from 2015. Net income as a percent of sales was 7% in 2016, up from 3% in 2015 due to gross margin improvements from improved mix and cost actions.
Adjusted EBITDA of $122 million yielded a margin of 17%, up 180 basis points compared with 2015 due to improved costs that offset lower sales. Specialty Phosphates adjusted EBITDA margins of 18% improved 251 basis points versus 2015.
Diluted EPS for 2016 was $2.44 compared with diluted EPS of $1.29 for 2015.
Adjusted diluted EPS for 2016 was $2.55 compared with an adjusted diluted EPS of $2.27 for 2015.
Net Cash from operations for 2016 was $139 million, up 41% from 2015.
Free cash flow for 2016 was $103 million, up 53% from 2015 despite $19 million of taxes paid in the first quarter of 2016 related to the cash repatriation program.
Recent Trends and Outlook
Specialty Phosphates volumes declined by 7% for full year 2016 compared with 2015, in line with expectations, primarily driven by reduced sales in lower margin, less differentiated applications and weak end market demand due to continued pressures on packaged foods.
2017 is expected to be another year of transition with a focus on protecting earnings and delivering cash while continuing to build on the three strategic pillars.
Overall market conditions and competitive landscape for 2017 are expected to be similar to the prior year. Full year earnings are therefore expected to be broadly in line with 2016 reflecting the impact of management's continued focus on cost actions and productivity initiatives given the challenging market conditions.

Segment Reporting – Fourth Quarter
The Company reports its operations in three segments: Specialty Phosphates US & Canada, Specialty Phosphates Mexico and GTSP & Other. The primary performance indicators for the chief operating decision maker are sales and EBITDA, with sales presented on a ship-from basis. Sales on a ship-from basis are on the same revenue recognition principle as a ship-to basis and are recognized when delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss passes to the customer. The following table sets forth the historical results of these indicators by segment:

Price / Volume
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. The current quarter selling price dollar variance is derived from the current quarter year to date selling price dollar variance less the previous quarter year to date selling price dollar variance. The selling price dollar variance is then divided by the prior period sales dollars to calculate the percentage change. 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 the percentage changes in net sales by reportable segments compared with the same period of the prior year, including the effect of selling price and volume/mix changes upon revenue:
