Dear Fellow Innophos Investors,

I

am  pleased  with  the  Company’s  performance  in  2010,  our 
second  highest  ever  in  terms  of  sales  on  21%  year-over-year 
volume growth, and our success in continuing to deliver on our 
strategic objectives. 2010 was a year in which we largely completed 
the transformation of Innophos to an innovative ingredients supplier 
focused  on  the  higher  value  food,  beverage  and  pharmaceutical 
end-markets.  Importantly,  our  transformation  included  signifi cant 
improvements in our supply chain, fi nancial structure and product 
platform  which  will  enable  us  to  deliver  sustainable  growth  over 
the  longer  term.  As  I  refl ect  on  our  history  from  the  time  of  our 
initial  public  offering  in  2006  up  until  today,  I  am  proud  of  the 
achievements of all of my colleagues who have worked together to 
meet  the  challenges  we  have  faced  and  to  improve  our  business 
both operationally and fi nancially. As we enter 2011, I am confi dent 
that our hard work has positioned Innophos to continue to deliver 
strong results this year and beyond. 

It  is  clear  from  our  2010  results  that  our  long-term  strategy  to 
focus  on  improving  our  capability  in  core  Specialty  Phosphates 
applications  is  working,  both  in  North  America  and  in  key  high-
growth  regions  around  the  world.  Our  percentage  of  sales  to  the 
higher  value  food,  beverage,  pharmaceutical  and  oral  care  end-
markets  remained  near  50%,  compared  to  just  30%  historically, 
with an average annual growth rate to these markets of 17% over 
the  past  4  years,  demonstrating  the  strength  of  our  position  in 
these stable consumer-facing markets.

Additionally, export sales to customers outside of the US, Canada 
and  Mexico  represented  18%  of  Specialty  Phosphates  revenues 
in  2010,  a  signifi cant  improvement  over  12%  for  2009.  We  will 
continue to focus on further penetrating key international markets 
primarily  in  Asia  and  Latin  America,  where  emerging  trends  are 
driving outsized demand for our products and where we believe we 
can grow sales at rates signifi cantly above our domestic growth rate.

North America: Meeting the Need for Innovative, 
High Value Products 

Our core markets in the U.S. and Canada saw improving demand 
from consumer-oriented markets served by Specialty Phosphates, 
as well as a rebound in industrial applications throughout 2010, 
which combined for a 16% volume increase over 2009. Our Open 
Innovation  approach  to  partnering  with  leading  multi-national 
food and beverage companies allowed us to work closely with our 
customers to develop products that are unique in the market and 
aligned with the consumer trends driving their businesses. 

As  our  customers  have  become  more  confi dent  in  the  economic 
outlook, we have seen a resumption of new product launch activity 
by many of our major customers, a signifi cant portion of which was 
in response to, or to stay ahead of, major societal trends towards 
“heart healthy” or “low sodium” products. Importantly, Innophos 
ingredients serve a key functionality to positioning these products. 
For example, in 2010 a leading enhanced water manufacturer used 
our  award-winning  VersaCAL®  Clear  product  to  deliver  calcium 

fortifi cation to a new product without taste or color distortion. Also, 
our  industry-leading  low-sodium  leavening  product,  CAL-RISE®, 
was a key ingredient in new launches of heart-healthy or reduced 
sodium  cake  and  pancake  mixes  and  in  reduced  sodium  baking 
powder for both the consumer and food-service markets. 

With  more  major  product  launches  expected  in  2011,  we  have 
made investments in and announced expansions to our production 
capacity to meet the demand for these high value applications. 

Mexico: Successful Shift to Higher Value Products, 
Signifi cantly Improved Supply Chain

In  Mexico,  the  Specialty  Phosphates  business  saw  signifi cant 
improvement  over  2009  with  volumes  increasing  28%.  The 
recovery  in  Mexico  was  evident  across  all  product  lines,  but  we 
were  particularly  pleased  with  the  growth  in  sales  of  our  higher 
margin purifi ed phosphoric acid (“PPA”) and specialty phosphate 
ingredients for the food and beverage end-markets.

In early 2010, we completed our upgrade to Mexico’s food grade 
PPA capability at our main production site at Coatzacoalcos. This 
achievement increased our ability to produce higher-value specialty 
phosphate salts and PPA, while reducing the capacity dedicated to 
the more commodity-like detergent grade PPA. Our results in 2010 
demonstrate the success of this effort.  

2010 was also a year in which we made signifi cant improvements 
to  our  supply  chain,  which  will  benefi t  our  long-term  profi tability 
and risk profi le. Following year end 2009, we settled the arbitration 
with  our  rock  supplier  in  Mexico  and,  assisted  by  prices  agreed 
upon  for  2010,  the  Mexican  operating  segment  was  profi table 
again  in  the  fi rst  quarter.  During  the  year,  we  also  successfully 
implemented a multi-sourcing strategy for phosphate rock supply 
to  our  Coatzacoalcos  facility,  and  we  are  pleased  to  report  that 
our 2011 rock supply arrangements are now confi rmed with three 
primary suppliers that can fully meet our 2011 sourcing needs. We 
have  also  maintained  some  fl exibility  for  more  opportunistic  spot 
purchases to continue developing long-term supplier relationships. 

Our  efforts  to  enhance  food  grade  production  capacity  with 
diversifi ed raw materials sourcing are helping the Mexican facility 
to become a more integral part of our overall North American supply 
chain.  We  believe  that  our  Mexican  facility  will  now  be  a  greater 
contributor to our sales and profi tability going forward, as well as 
an  integral  piece  of  our  export  market  expansion  in  the  region. 

There’s  more  to  be  done  in  2011  to  enhance  our  operations  in 
Mexico, including improving the plant’s fl exibility in managing and 
qualifying additional new suppliers. However, combined with this 
year’s  achievements  in  shifting  the  business  toward  higher  value 
products, our steps have positioned Mexico well to meet our stated 
goal  of  returning  this  business  to  a  more  sustainable  pre-2008 
profi tability level by 2012.

2010 was a year in which we largely completed the transformation of 
Innophos to an innovative ingredients supplier focused on the higher 
value food, beverage and pharmaceutical end-markets. 

Focus on Stable Profi tability and Product Mix Drives 
Strong Results 

2011: Leveraging Our Strengthened Position to Return 
Greater Value to Shareholders

While  2010  saw  steady  demand  improvement  and  increased 
volumes,  pricing  remained  at  lower  levels  than  in  2009.  This 
dynamic was the result of adjustments we needed to make during 
2009 to lower selling prices following reductions in market prices 
for our raw materials. Our improved business mix of higher value 
applications  and  the  strength  of  our  customer  relationships  were 
vital to our success in stabilizing prices early in 2010 and in then 
raising prices to offset the rising cost of raw materials as the year 
progressed.  As  a  result,  we  saw  net  sales  for  2010  increase  7% 
over 2009 levels driven by 21% volume growth. 

We fi rmly believe that the value we bring to our customers in terms 
of product quality, customer and technical support and long-term 
reliability has allowed us to remain close to the customer, which in 
turn allows us to effectively manage our pricing and to anticipate 
trends  in  the  market.  As  a  result,  I  have  great  confi dence  in  our 
ability  to  maintain  consistent,  attractive  margins  over  our  input 
costs despite a raw material environment that remains uncertain.  

Signifi cantly Improved Capital Structure to Support High 
Return Investments 

In  2010  we  signifi cantly  improved  our  capital  structure,  while 
investing  in  our  business  and  continuing  to  return  value  to 
shareholders through our dividend.

Net debt fell from $114 million at the end of 2009 to $85 million 
at the end of 2010. During the year, we retired $56 million of 9.5% 
notes and then replaced our remaining $190 million 8.875% notes 
and prior line of credit with a $225 million senior secured credit 
facility.  We  expect  these  actions  will  reduce  our  annual  interest 
expense  by  almost  $17  million,  or  $0.47  per  share.  As  a  result, 
our  capital  structure  will  be  signifi cantly  more  cost  effective  and 
fl exible in support of our strategic objectives going forward.

Capital  expenditures  in  2010  were  $31  million  and  included 
the  projects  we  undertook  in  our  core  markets,  including:  de-
bottlenecking  U.S.  and  Canadian  specialty  phosphate  salts 
units  that  serve  the  highest  margin  markets;  continuing  the 
Coatzacoalcos,  Mexico  facility’s  upgrade  to  food  grade;  and 
continuing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project with a 
focus on supply chain effi ciency. 

In  2011,  we  expect  capital  expenditures  of  approximately  $40 
million,  which  will  be  used  to  support  capacity  and  production 
enhancements  in  the  U.S.,  Canada  and  Mexico,  where  we 
see  above  average  growth  potential  in  higher-value,  Specialty 
Phosphates  applications.  We  will  also  continue  to  improve 
our  supply  chain  by  completing  our  ERP  project  and  making 
further  enhancements  to  our  Mexican  operations  to  streamline 
the  process  of  sourcing  rock  from  multiple  suppliers.  Also,  we 
will  support  geographic  growth  through  an  increased  presence 
in  developing  markets,  improved  distribution  channels  and 
a  greater  focus  on  servicing  these  international  customers.

Looking ahead to 2011, we expect a favorable demand environment 
to  continue  for  our  Specialty  Phosphates  products,  and  Granular 
Triple Superphosphate (“GTSP”) volume is expected to be strong as 
well. While the outlook for raw material pricing remains uncertain, 
we have the experience, customer relationships and supply position 
to effectively meet any challenges that may arise. 

We  fi rmly  believe  that  today  we  are  a  stronger  company,  both 
fi nancially  and  operationally,  than  we  were  a  year  ago.  With  a 
signifi cantly  enhanced  supply  chain  and  production  capability  in 
the  U.S.,  Canada  and  Mexico,  we  will  continue  to  deliver  growth 
through our focus on higher value Specialty Phosphates. In 2011, 
investment  will  continue  with  an  emphasis  on  the  higher  margin 
products  and  higher  value  market  application  segments.  We  will 
also  continue  enhancing  our  longer  term  supply  chain  capability 
both  through  diversifi ed  raw  material  supply  and  manufacturing 
fl exibility.

Expanding  our  export  sales  by  increasing  our  presence  in  high 
growth markets for food and beverage applications and ingredients 
will  also  be  a  focus  in  2011.  These  markets  are  a  signifi cant 
opportunity  for  Innophos  to  drive  growth  in  the  business  going 
forward,  and  we  will  leverage  the  strength  of  our  expertise  and 
operations to support this development, while taking a measured 
approach to ensure return on our investment. 

The actions we have taken in recent years to improve our business 
and  our  capital  structure  have  given  us  the  fi nancial  strength  to 
continue investing in our business and to increase our dividend by 
47% in 2011, while also having the fl exibility to supplement our 
growth through strategically appropriate acquisitions, most likely of 
the “bolt-on” variety, in core or near-adjacent businesses. 

In closing, I want to thank our employees, our customers and our 
stakeholders, all of whom are helping us to achieve our vision: to 
be the most successful, most competitive and fi rst choice Specialty 
Phosphates company in the world.

Markets

Since  becoming  a  public  company,  Innophos  has  consistently 
focused  on  increasing  its  capability  and  sales  into  high-value, 
consumer-oriented  applications  and  high-performance  industrial 
applications where its Specialty Phosphates create sustainable value.

This  approach  continued  to  yield  impressive  results  in  2010,  as 
the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and oral care end markets 
represented approximately 50% of sales, compared with a third of 
sales four years ago; a 17% CAGR for these markets over that period.

Overall,  Innophos  is  the  number  one  North  American  Specialty 
Phosphates  supplier  to  these  high-value  end  markets,  with  long-
lasting  customer  relationships  built  on  a  world-leading  product 
range with excellent brand recognition. 

In addition to its experience and success with established products 
in  the  core  territories  of  the  United  States,  Canada  and  Mexico, 
Innophos  is  aiming  to  improve  long-term  growth  in  two  ways: 
by  increasing  its  capabilities  in  new  regions  and  by  developing 
and  marketing  new,  higher-value  applications  that  differentiate 
customer products and meet emerging consumer trends.

Increasing Presence in Developing Markets  

The  global  market  for  Specialty  Phosphates  was  estimated  at  $6 
billion  for  2009  and  continues  to  grow  as  people  in  developing 
countries shift their consumption habits towards foods that include 
more  of  Innophos’  products.  Recognizing  this  global  opportunity, 
it  is  Innophos’  goal  to  leverage  its  leading  position  in  North 
American  Specialty  Phosphates  to  serve  the  emerging  needs  of 
new geographies. 

During  2010,  Innophos  continued  to  increase  focus  on  high-
growth, developing markets such as Latin America and Asia where 
a  rapidly  growing  middle  class  is  leading  to  increased  demand 
for convenience foods and beverages such as ready-to-use baking 
mixes,  packaged  meat  and  seafood  products  and  nutritional 
beverages.  Innophos  will  continue  to  expand  geographically  in 
2011,  leveraging  the  strength  of  its  existing  operations,  while 
taking a measured approach to ensure return on investment. 

Innophos expects that a combination of its product and application 
expertise  and  industry-leading  technical  service,  together  with 
increased  local  presence  through  distributor  partners  or  direct 
sales, will, over time, allow Innophos to build strong relationships 
with  global,  regional  and  local  customers  operating  in  emerging 
and developing markets. 

Although Innophos is still relatively early into its execution of this 
strategy,  export  sales  of  Specialty  Phosphates  have  increased  to 
18%  of  total  Specialty  Phosphates  revenues  in  2010,  up  from 
12%  in  2009,  and  with  significant  potential  for  future  growth.

Meeting the Need: CAL-RISE®

launches, 

Producing  finished  baked  goods  that  have 
significantly  reduced  levels  of  sodium  is  a 
definite  competitive  advantage  for  today’s 
bakers. 2010 significantly extended the use 
of Innophos’ patented CAL-RISE® in various 
customer  product 
including 
baking powders, cake mixes and a new range 
of  pancake  mixes  positioned  on  a  “heart-
healthy”  platform.  Innophos 
ingredients 
are  critical  in  enabling  food  customers  to 
achieve their “front-of-pack” health claims. 
Further  customer  product  launches  are  in 
the pipeline for early 2011 across a variety 
of  bakery  products,  as  the  food  industry 
continues to respond to the need to reduce 
sodium levels in consumer packaged goods.

Meeting the Need: VersaCAL®

Traditionally,  calcium  fortification  in  clear 
beverages  uses  calcium  sources  such  as 
lactates,  gluconates  and  citrates,  which 
can  have  an  impact  on  flavor  and  stability 
in  some  formulations.  Leveraging  technical 
expertise in phosphates, Innophos developed 
VersaCAL®  Clear,  a  highly  soluble  calcium 
phosphate for clear beverages.

VersaCAL®  Clear  represents  a  significant 
breakthrough  for  the  beverage  industry, 
providing an effective combination of calcium 
and  phosphorus  to  promote  healthy  teeth 
and  bones,  without  compromising  product 
taste  and  stability.  In  2010,  Innophos  was 
a  winner  at  the  Health  Ingredient  Europe 
Excellence Awards, claiming first prize in the 
“Nutrition for the Young and Old” category.

Applications

Ingredients that Enable Customer Success

On  the  sidebars  of  these  pages  you  will  see  some  examples  of 
customer products that have Innophos Specialty Phosphates as a 
key ingredient. Innophos products tend to be a small percentage 
of  customers’  overall  product  cost,  yet  they  are  essential  to  end 
product  performance.  These  products  are  supported  by  research 
and  development  (R&D)  and  technical  service  that  are  the  most 
competitive in the Specialty Phosphates industry.

Innophos scientists are increasingly working as part of customers’ 
teams. For example, through customers’ Open Innovation projects, 
Innophos scientists have been helping major food companies adapt 
their  end  products  to  meet  changing  consumer  needs,  working 
jointly with food companies’ scientists, sharing technical challenges 
and strategic goals. Through the Open Innovation model, Innophos 
becomes  a  true  customer  partner  and  an  integral  component  of 
customers’ longer-term product development processes. Innophos 
also supports research and development efforts by partnering with 
universities  and  research  institutions,  putting  the  Company  in  a 
strong and effective technical position to support customers. 

Products that Reduce Sodium Content

Awareness  of  the  health  risks  associated  with  excessive  sodium 
intake,  which  include  hypertension  and  increased  risk  of  heart 
disease, has grown. These risks have become a focus for consumers, 
consumer advocacy groups and medical associations. As a result, 
endeavors such as the U.S.-based National Salt Reduction Initiative 
have been established to help food manufacturers and restaurants 
voluntarily  reduce  the  amount  of  sodium  in  their  products,  with 
the goal of reducing sodium in Americans’ diets by 20% by 2014. 
Innophos  continues  to  work  with  its  customers  to  achieve  lower 
sodium levels while maintaining important product characteristics 
such as texture, functionality, appearance, and importantly, taste.

Products that Fortify Everyday Food and Beverages

Many  consumers  fail  to  consume  enough  calcium,  potassium, 
and  other  essential  vitamins  and  minerals.  Innophos  develops 
fortifi cation products, providing calcium and phosphorus to build 
strong  bones  and  promote  overall  health.  Fortifi cation  products 
allow  customers  to  add  essential  minerals  to  a  diverse  range  of 
food products including: dairy products such as yogurt and cheese, 
nutritional  bars,  cereal,  baked  goods,  dietary  supplements  –  and 
the full spectrum of beverage applications, from enhanced water, 
juice  and  sports  beverages  to  milk  and  milk  replacement  type 
products such as soy, rice and coconut-milk. 

Products that Provide Calcium and Phosphorus in 
Pharmaceuticals

According  to  the  National  Osteoporosis  Foundation,  osteoporosis 
affects  an  estimated  75  million  people  in  Europe,  the  USA,  and 
Japan. Innophos has sponsored clinical trials which indicate that 
both calcium and phosphorus are essential for developing healthier 
bones. 

Innophos calcium phosphates are a leading ingredient in combined 
vitamin and mineral supplements. Calcium phosphates also offer 
tableting performance advantages that make them good excipients 
(inactive  binders  holding  tablets  together)  in  over-the-counter  or 
prescription drugs.

What Innophos Products Do

Innophos  products  have  a  wide  variety  of  applications.  Below 
are  some  examples  of  the  properties  Innophos  products  bring  to 
customer  end  products  across  a  range  of  industries.  In  blue  are 
the three product categories within the core Specialty Phosphates 
business.  Percentages  in  section  heads  represent  the  category’s 
contribution to 2010 revenues.

Supply Chain

The quality and consistency of Innophos products is critical to their 
inclusion  in  customers’  branded  formulations.  Innophos’  process 
capability, along with exacting product quality and manufacturing 
standards, allows customers to depend on Innophos ingredients in 
their trusted products. 

As  a  Specialty  Phosphates  producer,  Innophos  has  world-leading 
capability  in  the  production  of  PPA  and  Specialty  Ingredients. 
Innophos  produces  PPA  at  two  facilities  in  Geismar,  LA  and 
Coatzacoalcos,  Mexico.  Innophos  also  purchases  some  additional 
PPA under a long term supply agreement. Innophos sells a portion 
of  its  PPA  directly  to  customers  for  consumer  and  industrial 
applications,  but  the  majority  is  consumed  internally  in  the  next 
stage  of  the  value  chain,  producing  higher  value,  technically 
differentiated  specialty  phosphate  salt  and  phosphoric  acid 
compounds that sustain higher margins and attractive returns. 

Customers have long relied on Innophos for dependable supply in 
a changing environment. Innophos continues to make investments 
in improving overall supply chain reliability and fl exibility and in-
crementally  enhancing  capabilities  across  the  product  portfolio 
focused on high-value, high-margin products. Innophos is position-
ing supply capabilities for the future of the Innophos value chain 
and the future of customer demand.

In 2010, Innophos focused on strategic solidifi cation of a forward-
thinking supply chain – expanding phosphate rock supply options 
as well as streamlining and enhancing production capabilities. 

Diversifying Raw Material Supply

Innophos continues to make investments to improve the overall re-
liability and fl exibility of the supply chain and to evolve production 
capacity. As a result, Innophos is increasingly less susceptible to 
disruptions in supply and therefore better able to serve customers 
and drive growth and profi tability. 

Innophos has successfully reached agreements with three preferred 
phosphate  rock  suppliers  on  major  terms  for  2011  supply  to 
the  Coatzacoalcos  facility.  In  addition  to  these  primary  sources, 
Innophos has options for other spot suppliers and will continue to 
qualify and develop additional sources for future supply.

Enhancing Production Platform

In addition to providing signifi cant capacity increases, investments 
in streamlining and enhancing production facilities will make im-
portant extensions to the Innophos product range, further strength-
ening industry leading capabilities and enabling food and beverage 
customers  to  respond  to  demand  for  lower  sodium  and  calcium 
fortifi ed products.

Innophos  currently  has  production  facilities  in  Nashville,  TN; 
Chicago  Heights,  IL;  Chicago  (Waterway),  IL;  Geismar,  LA;  Port 
Maitland, ON (Canada); Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz and San Jose de 
Iturbide (Mission Hills), Guanajuato (Mexico). In 2010, Innophos 
continued  the  process  of  developing  facilities  to  accommodate 
long-term trends in phosphate production:
 »

In 2010, Innophos’ Nashville, TN facility announced plans for 
a $4.5 million expansion, with the goal of producing reduced 
sodium leavening acid CAL-RISE, a calcium phosphate. This 
expansion, which is due to be completed by July 2011, will 
double  the  capacity  for  the  production  line  on  which  CAL-
RISE is manufactured, and will provide a 50% increase in the 
capacity for mono-calcium products V-90 and Regent 12XX.

The  Innophos  Chicago  Heights,  IL  facility  continued  expan-
sion  and  upgrade  in  2010,  including  an  announced  25% 
increase  in  tri-calcium  phosphate  capacity  which  will  allow 
for  the  growth  of  this  high  value  product  line  while  ensur-
ing high service levels to customers, particularly in the bever-
age and dairy segments of the food industry. This expansion 
uses  new  process  technology  which  achieves  a  signifi cant 
improvement  in  throughput  and  a  broader  product  range  by 
optimizing  existing  production  lines  at  the  facility.  The  ex-
pansion  is  expected  to  be  completed  by  mid-year  2011. 

Innophos  Port  Maitland,  Ontario 

facil-
The 
ity  completed  an  expansion  for  the  production  of  potas-
sium  phosphates 
in  2010.  These  specialty  products 
provide  unique  functionality  for  the  meat  and  dairy  in-
dustries  and  also  have  applications  in  industrial  mar-
kets,  including  water  treatment  and  industrial  cleaning. 

(Canada) 

the  capability 

The  Innophos  Coatzacoalcos,  Mexico  facility  underwent  a 
number of constructive changes in 2010. Innophos continued 
the enhancement of the Coatzacoalcos facility by successfully 
testing  and  demonstrating 
to  process 
multiple  grades  of  phosphate  rock  (5  grades  were  used  in 
2010).  Innophos  completed,  as  announced,  an  upgrade  to 
acid  purifi cation  capability  and  diversifi ed  phosphate  raw 
material  sources,  substantially  increasing  the  value  of  the 
Coatzacoalcos  manufacturing  facility  as  an  integral  part  of 
the  Innophos  global  network.  The  Mexican  facility  is  now 
able to handle multiple phosphate rock sources and produce 
product grades tailored to multiple customer requirements. In 
addition, the Mexican facility is now Innophos’ largest source 
of  food-grade  PPA.  Improvement  in  the  Mexican  facility’s 
specialty phosphate salts capability is ongoing as well.

A Strategic Focus on Supply Chain 

Innophos  is  building  a  substantially  improved  supply  chain  and 
an  expanded  product  platform  capable  of  delivering  sustainable 
growth.  Strategic  supply  chain  investments  are  essential  to  busi-
ness  objectives,  in-line  with  the  Innophos  vision,  and  well-posi-
tioned to assist in delivering on future growth targets.

Supply  chain  investment  in  2011  will  continue  to  focus  on  de-
bottlenecking U.S./Canada and Mexico Specialty Ingredients facili-
ties and also on enhancing Mexico’s capability to process multiple 
grades of rock, consistent with the Company’s supply chain diversi-
fi cation strategy. In addition, limited investment continues in order 
to evaluate Innophos’ Mexican phosphate rock mining concessions. 

Innophos  is  also  continuing  to  invest  in  its  enterprise  resource 
planning  system  and  business  redesign  (ERP)  project,  with  an-
ticipated  implementation  in  mid-2011.  The  project,  launched  in 
2009, has focused on supply chain effi ciency and capacity for or-
der fulfi llment, and is focused on maintaining Innophos’ position 
as its customers’ most reliable Specialty Phosphates supplier.

 
Product Line Performance 

Specialty Phosphates

Specialty  Phosphates  comprise 
three  product  categories: 
Specialty  Ingredients,  Food  &  Technical  Grade  PPA  and  Sodium 
Tripolyphosphate  (“STPP”)  &  Detergent  Grade  PPA.  In  2010, 
sales  of  $641  million  increased  1%  versus  the  prior  year  with 
volumes up 18% and prices down 17% against the 2009 average. 
Operating  income  margin  was  17%  for  full  year  2010.  Ongoing 
volume  growth  is  expected  to  continue  in  2011  with  continued 
strong margins.

Specialty Ingredients

Specialty  Ingredients,  including  specialty  phosphate  salt  and 
phosphoric  acid  compounds  serving  consumer  end  markets,  are 
currently  the  most  stable  and  highest  value  applications.  The 
food and beverage, oral care and pharmaceutical end markets, as 
well  as  select  high-performance  industrial  end  markets,  provide 
stable demand and strong margins. 2010 sales revenue of $451 
million increased 2% versus 2009 with volumes up 16%. Specialty 
Ingredients  are  the  primary  area  of  focus  for  Innophos’  business 
both within and outside North America.

Food & Technical Grade PPA 

Most  of  Innophos’  PPA  is  converted  into  Specialty  Ingredients  at 
dedicated facilities. However, some food grade PPA is sold directly 
to customers for applications such as cola beverages. In addition, 
technical grades of PPA are used in municipal water treatment and 
metal  fi nishing.  These  markets  rebounded  from  weak  economic 
conditions in 2009; sales revenue was up 2% compared to 2009 
on 26% volume growth.

STPP & Detergent Grade PPA

Detergent grade products include detergent grade PPA and STPP. 
Phosphates are very effective cleaning agents, in both laundry and 
auto dishwashing detergents and in specialized industrial cleaning 
applications  where  high  standards  of  cleanliness  are  required  in 
challenging conditions. Over recent years, phosphates have largely 
been reformulated out of consumer oriented detergents, but remain 
an  important  ingredient  in  industrial  cleaning  products.  Though 
volumes  were  up  19%  over  2009,  sales  of  these  products  were 
down  2%  against  2009,  driven  by  year-on-year  price  declines. 
Further reformulation is expected for the industry in this product line.

GTSP & Other

Fertilizer  co-products,  such  as  GTSP,  produced  sales  revenue  of 
$74  million  in  2010,  more  than  double  2009  sales;  volumes 
were up 69% and prices were up 48%. Operating income margin 
for  2010  was  negative  21%  due  to  $21  million  of  charges  for 
expected future claims regarding Mexican water duties; excluding 
these charges, operating income margin was positive 7% for 2010. 
GTSP volume is expected to be strong for 2011, with market prices 
continuing to increase in early 2011, and above average 2010 levels.

Innophos’ growth strategy.

Balance Sheet and 
Future Investment

Improving the Balance Sheet While Investing for Growth

Innophos aims to continue delivering shareholder value by seeking 
productive uses of cash. In 2010 Innophos delivered a signifi cantly 
improved capital structure, while investing in the core business and 
continuing to return value to shareholders through dividend payments. 

Net debt fell from $114 million at the end of 2009 to $85 million 
at  the  end  of  2010.  Management  is  committed  to  maintaining  a 
strong balance sheet.

The  Company’s  available  fi nancial  resources  allow  management 
to  continue  with  previously  stated  growth  objectives,  including 
potential  “bolt-on”  acquisitions.  In  2011  and  subsequent  years, 
Innophos  expects  to  make  additional  investments  targeted  at 
increasing  its  presence  in  high-growth  end-markets  and  new 
geographic regions. 2011 investments will also include continuing 
to improve the Company’s manufacturing capability in high-value 
products.

Innophos  recognizes  the  importance  of  dividend  income  to 
shareholders.  On  March  21,  2011,  Innophos  announced  that  its 
Board of Directors had declared a dividend of $0.25 per share of 
common  stock,  an  increase  of  47%  over  the  quarterly  dividend 
rate, which had been constant since the Company’s 2006 IPO.

A  strong  fi nancial  position  gives  Innophos  the  ability  to  return 
additional value to shareholders through the dividend, while at the 
same time maintaining a primary focus on investing in the future 
growth of the Company.

ITEM  1. 
Our Company  

BUSINESS  

PART I  

Innophos commenced operations as an independent company in August 2004 after purchasing our North American specialty 

phosphates business from affiliates of Rhodia, S.A., or Rhodia. In November 2006, we completed an initial public offering and listed 
our Common Stock for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “IPHS”.  

Innophos is a leading North American producer of specialty phosphates. Many specialty phosphates are application-specific 
compounds engineered to meet customer performance requirements. Specialty phosphates are often critical to the taste, texture and 
performance of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, oral care products and other applications. For example, specialty phosphates act as 
flavor enhancers in beverages, electrolytes in sports drinks, texture additives in cheeses, leavening agents in baked goods, calcium and 
phosphorus sources for nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical excipients and cleaning agents in toothpaste.  

Key Product Lines  

We have three principal Specialty Phosphates product lines: (i) Specialty Ingredients (formerly Specialty Salts and Specialty 

Acids), (ii) Food and Technical Grade purified phosphoric acid, or PPA, and (iii) Technical Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) & 
Detergent Grade PPA. Our products serve diverse end-use markets which historically have exhibited stable demand growth.  

Specialty Ingredients  

Specialty Ingredients (including specialty phosphate salts and specialty phosphoric acids) are the most highly engineered 

products in our portfolio. There are a wide range of application-specific products for specialty phosphate salts, such as flavor 
enhancers in beverages, electrolytes in sports drinks, texture modifiers in cheeses, leavening agents in baked goods, calcium and 
phosphorus sources for nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical excipients and abrasives in toothpaste. Specialty phosphoric acids are 
used in industrial applications such as asphalt modification and petrochemical catalysis.  

The table below presents a list of the main Specialty Ingredients sold by us in 2010:

Description/End-Use Application 

Potassium Phosphates (“TKPP”, “DKP”, “MKP”, “KTPP”) 

Water treatment; sports drinks; buffering agent; improves 
tenderness in meat, seafood and poultry applications; horticulture
applications. 

Specialty Acids (e.g., Polyacid) 

Additive improving performance properties of asphalt. 

Sodium Blends (e.g., Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP (food 
grade))) 

Ingredient improving yield, tenderness, shelf life, moisture and 
color retention in meat, seafood and poultry applications. 

Other (Sodium Bicarbonate, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate 
(“TSPP”), Mono, Di, & Trisodium Phosphates (“MSP”, “DSP”, 
“TSP”)) 

Baking powders; gelling agent in puddings; cheese emulsifiers. 

Each salt or acid derivative typically has a number of different applications and end uses. For example, DCP can be used both as 
a leavening agent in bakery products and as an abrasive in oral care products. However, several food grade salts are unique to the end 
user in their particular finished product application. Manufacturers often work directly with customers to tailor products to their 
required specifications.  

Our major competitor in the downstream Specialty Ingredients is Israel Chemicals Limited, or ICL.  

Food and Technical Grade PPA  

Food and Technical Grade PPA are high purity forms of PPA, distinct from the agricultural-grade merchant green phosphoric 

acid, or MGA, used in fertilizer production. PPA is used to manufacture specialty phosphate salts and acids and is also used directly in 
beverage applications as a flavor enhancer and in water treatment applications. We also sell Technical Grade PPA in the merchant 
market to third-party phosphate derivative producers.  

Our major PPA competitor is Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc., or PCS, a global fertilizer company for which specialty 
phosphates represents only a small part of its business. We consume the majority of our PPA production in our downstream operations 
and sell the remainder on the North American merchant market and to other downstream phosphate derivative producers, where we 
compete with PCS. To the best of our knowledge, PCS does not have any downstream technical or food grade phosphate derivative 
production capacity, other than a small potassium phosphate salt unit.  

Technical Grade Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) & Detergent Grade PPA  

STPP is a specialty phosphate derived from reacting phosphoric acid with a sodium alkali. STPP is a key ingredient in cleaning 

products, including automatic dishwashing detergents, industrial and institutional cleaners and (outside the U.S.) consumer laundry 
detergents. In addition to its use in cleaning products, STPP is also used in water treatment, clay processing, and copper ore 
processing. Over 90% of the end use market for STPP is derived from consumer product applications. Detergent Grade PPA is a lower 
grade form of PPA used primarily in the production of STPP.  

Our major North American STPP competitor is Mexichem, S.A.B. de C.V., or Mexichem, in Mexico. Currently, Mexichem 
produces STPP at two manufacturing locations in Mexico. We also compete with imports from North Africa, Europe and China.  

Over the past several decades, there have been efforts to reduce the use of STPP in consumer and institutional cleaners. In the 
1980’s STPP use in consumer laundry applications was discontinued in the U.S. and Canada. Over the last several years momentum 
has gained in eliminating STPP use in consumer automatic dishwashing applications in the U.S. and Canada. Most detergent 
manufacturers discontinued the use of STPP in automatic dishwashing detergent applications during 2010. The Industrial & 
Institutional market has also reformulated some of its products to reduce STPP content in an effort to market a lower cost and reduced 
phosphate content product line. In 2008, a global retailer began an initiative to materially reduce the use of STPP in consumer laundry 
detergent in Latin America by 2011. Our Mexican operations have historically dedicated a significant portion of their capacity to the 
production of STPP directly and have sold detergent grade PPA to other producers of STPP. In anticipation of reduced detergent 
demand for STPP, Innophos Mexico is investing in upgrading the food grade PPA and salts capability of our major Coatzacoalcos 
facility, and consequently substantially reducing the portion of capacity dedicated to detergent grade products.  

 GTSP & Other  

Granular Triple Super Phosphate, or GTSP, is a fertilizer product line produced at our Coatzacoalcos facility. GTSP is used 
throughout Latin America for increasing crop yields in a wide range of agricultural sectors. GTSP is made as a co-product of our 
purified wet acid manufacturing process.

Our Industry  

The North American marketplaces for each of our product lines have seen consolidation to two primary producers and several 

secondary suppliers. We consider the two key producers in each product category to be: (i) our Company and ICL, which acquired 
Astaris LLC, or Astaris, in 2005, in Specialty Ingredients; (ii) our Company and PCS, in Food and Technical Grade PPA; and (iii) our 
Company and Mexichem in Technical STPP. The production of specialty phosphates begins with phosphate rock, which can be 
processed in two alternative ways to produce PPA: (i) the thermal acid method, in which elemental phosphorus is combusted in a 
furnace and subsequently hydrated to produce purified phosphoric acid; or (ii) the purified wet acid method (PWA), in which mined 
phosphate rock is reacted with sulfuric acid to produce merchant green acid, (agricultural grade phosphoric acid), which is then 
purified through solvent-based extraction into purified phosphoric acid. The conversion of merchant green acid into PPA is a 
technically complex and a capital-intensive process.  

The thermal acid method of production is based on the electrolytic production of elemental phosphorus and is therefore 
electricity intensive, while phosphoric acid made by the purified wet acid process requires the use of significant amounts of sulfuric 
acid. The relative overall costs of the two methods depend on the availability and cost of their component processes, electricity and 
coke for the former and sulfur for the latter. PPA is reacted with appropriate mineral salts or inorganic compounds to produce various 
specialty phosphate salts or STPP as required. We currently use PPA manufactured via the wet acid process for all of our Specialty 
Ingredients manufacturing needs.  

Consolidation of producers has been most significant in the Specialty Ingredients market.  

In addition to consolidation of producers, uneconomic production capacity has been eliminated in North America across all 
three major specialty phosphate product categories. For instance, in 2001, Rhodia closed its specialty salts and specialty acids plants in 
Buckingham, Quebec and Morrisville, Pennsylvania. In 2002, Vicksburg Chemical Company closed a specialty salts plant in 
Vicksburg, Mississippi. In 2003 and 2004, Astaris closed three manufacturing facilities, eliminating roughly 320,000 metric tons of 
capacity: a purified wet phosphoric acid plant in Conda, Idaho; a specialty salts plant in Trenton, Michigan; and an STPP plant in 
Green River, Wyoming. In January 2009, Mexichem closed its Coatzacoalcos facility eliminating approximately 50% of their 
estimated STPP capacity.  

In June 2006, PCS started up a fourth PWA based PPA production train at its Aurora, NC facility, a capacity addition less than 

the estimated combined level of 2006 North American PPA imports and domestic PPA produced via the thermal process. The PCS 
capacity increase was also comparable in capacity to the Astaris Idaho plant closed in 2003 following a failed start-up.  

Penetration from Imports  

Over the past several years, we estimate that imports, including domestically located production facilities owned by foreign 
based organizations, have accounted for approximately 15-20% of the North American specialty phosphate market. This market share 
has been fairly stable for the last three years.  

The following are the primary importers of PPA products and derivatives into North America: (i) Prayon SA, or Prayon, and 
Rotem Amfert Negev Ltd. (a subsidiary of ICL) for PPA, with Prayon primarily supplying acid to its specialty salts manufacturing 
facility in Augusta, Georgia; and (ii) various Chinese, European, and Israeli specialty phosphate manufacturers such as Chemische 
Fabrik Budenheim, Thermphos, Hubei Xingfa, Jiangyin Chengxing, Guangxi Mingli and BK Giulini Chemie GmbH & Co. (a 
subsidiary of ICL) for specialty salts and STPP.  

 Our Customers  

Our customer base is principally composed of consumer goods manufacturers, distributors and specialty chemical 

manufacturers. Our customers manufacture products such as soft drinks, sports drinks and juices, various food products, toothpaste 
and other dental products, petroleum and petrochemical products, and various cleaners and detergents. Our customers include major 
consumer goods manufacturers with global market recognition in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cleaning product markets. 
We have maintained long-term relationships with the majority of our key customers, with the average customer relationship having 
lasted over 15 years, and some relationships spanning nearly a century. Our specialty chemical products are often critical ingredients 
in the formulation of our customers’ products, and typically represent only a small percentage of their total product costs. As a result, 
we believe that the risks associated with our customers switching suppliers often outweigh the potential gains.

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we generated net sales of $714.2 million, $666.8 million and $934.8 

million, respectively. The Company delivered record revenues in 2008 as we responded to rapidly rising market raw material costs by 
effectively raising our own selling prices. By early 2009, raw material costs had fallen rapidly together with recessionary economic 
conditions that also negatively affected demand in 2009 compared to 2008. We responded with reductions in our own selling prices 
during 2009. Prices stabilized in the first quarter 2010 and subsequently improved on a sequential basis as we raised prices in 
anticipation of increasing raw material costs. Volumes also improved significantly across all products and markets. Through this 
period our continued focus on demonstrating the value of our products and service to high value end markets has enabled us to 
significantly enhance our mix with approximately 50% of our sales to food, pharma, beverage and oral care customers in comparison 
to 33% in 2006.  

Raw Materials and Energy  

We purchase a range of raw materials and energy sources on the open market, including phosphate rock, sulfur and sulfuric 

acid, agricultural grade phosphoric acid (also known as MGA), PPA, natural gas and electricity. To help secure supply, we purchase 
several of our key raw materials under long-term contracts generally providing for fixed or minimum quantities of materials, or 
purchase of our full requirements, and predetermined pricing formulae based on various market indices and other factors. We do not 
engage in any significant futures or other derivative contracts to hedge against fluctuations of raw material. We are not integrated 
vertically back to our sources of supply by ownership interests, joint ventures or affiliated companies, as a result of which raw 
materials acquisition at economical price levels is a major risk of our business. See Item 1A “Raw Materials Availability and Pricing” 
of this Report Form 10-K.  

Phosphate Rock and Merchant Green Acid (MGA). MGA is the main raw material for the creation of our downstream salts and 
acids. We purchase MGA for processing at our Geismar, LA facility through a long-term agreement with PCS. At our Coatzacoalcos 
facility in Mexico, we typically purchase phosphate rock in order to produce MGA internally; however, we can also process externally 
purchased MGA, available from various suppliers globally. The Company has agreements with three preferred phosphate rock 
suppliers for 2011 to supply the Coatzacoalcos facility. In addition to these primary sources, the Company has options for other spot 
suppliers and will continue to qualify and develop additional sources for potential future supply.  

Sulfur and Sulfuric Acid. Sulfur is the key raw material used in the production of Sulfuric Acid. Sulfuric acid is a key raw 
material used in the production of merchant green acid. We produce the vast majority of the sulfuric acid required to operate our 
Coatzacoalcos facility. The majority of the sulfuric acid required for the production of MGA by PCS Geismar is supplied by Rhodia. 
Our U.S. needs for sulfuric acid and our Mexican needs for sulfur are handled through long term contracts with Rhodia and Pemex-
Gas y Petroquimica Basica, or PEMEX, respectively.  

Purified Phosphoric Acid. The key raw material input for all of our downstream specialty phosphate salt and specialty 

phosphoric acid operations is PPA. We purchase certain quantities of our PPA supply from third parties to optimize our consumption 
and net sales, including from PCS with whom we have a long-term supply contract. In 2010 Innophos produced approximately 75% 
and purchased approximately 25% of its total PPA supply.  

Natural Gas and Electricity. Natural gas and electricity are used to operate our facilities and generate heat and steam for the 

various manufacturing processes. We typically purchase natural gas and electricity on the North American open market at so-called 
“spot rates.” From time to time, we will enter into longer term natural gas and electricity supply contracts in an effort to eliminate 
some of the volatility in our energy costs. We also seek to increase the energy efficiencies of our facilities and reduce costs through 
investments such as the co-generation project for our Coatzacoalcos plant commissioned into service in March 2008.  

 Research and Development  

Our product engineering and development activities are aimed at developing and enhancing products, processes, applications 

and technologies to strengthen our position in our markets and with our customers. We focus on:  

•   developing new or improved application-specific specialty phosphate products based on our existing product line and 

identified or anticipated customer needs;  
creating specialty phosphate products to be used in new applications or to serve new markets;  

•   providing customers with premier technical services as they integrate our specialty phosphate products into their products 

and manufacturing processes;  
ensuring that our products are manufactured in accordance with our stringent regulatory, health and safety policies and 
objectives;  

•  

•  

•   developing more efficient and lower cost manufacturing processes; and  
•  

expanding existing, and developing new, relationships with customers to meet their product engineering needs.  

 7

 
Our research expenditures were $2.4 million, $1.9 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 

2008, respectively.  

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance  

Certain of our operations involve manufacturing ingredients for use in food, nutritional supplement and pharmaceutical 
excipient products, and therefore must comply with stringent U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, or the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, or USDA, good manufacturing practices as well as the quality requirements of our customers. In addition, our operations 
that involve the use, handling, processing, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, are subject to extensive and 
frequently changing environmental regulation by federal, state, and local authorities, as well as regulatory authorities with jurisdiction 
over our foreign operations. Our operations also expose us to the risk of claims for environmental remediation and restoration or for 
exposure to hazardous materials. Our production facilities require operating permits that are subject to renewal or modification. 
Violations of health and safety and environmental laws, regulations, or permits may result in restrictions being imposed on operating 
activities, substantial fines, penalties, damages, the rescission of an operating permit, third-party claims for property damage or 
personal injury, or other costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of 
operations, or cash flows. Due to changes in health and safety and environmental laws and regulations, the time frames when those 
laws and regulations might be applied, and developments in environmental control technology, we cannot predict with certainty the 
amount of capital expenditures to be incurred for environmental purposes.  

Some environmental laws and regulations impose liability and responsibility on present and former owners, operators or users of 

facilities, and sites for contamination at such facilities and sites without regard to causation or knowledge of contamination. Many of 
our sites have an extended history of industrial use. Soil and groundwater contamination have been detected at some of our sites, and 
additional contamination might occur or be discovered at these sites or other sites in the future (including sites to which we may have 
sent hazardous waste). We continue to investigate, monitor or cleanup contamination at most of these sites. The potential liability for 
all these sites will depend on several factors, including the extent of contamination, the method of remediation, future developments 
and increasingly stringent regulation , the outcome of discussions with regulatory agencies, the liability of third parties, potential 
natural resource damage, and insurance coverage. Accruals for environmental matters are recorded in the accounting period in which 
our responsibility is established and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Due to the uncertainties associated with environmental 
investigations and cleanups and the ongoing nature of the investigations and cleanups at our sites, we are unable to predict precisely 
the nature, cost and timing of our future remedial obligations with respect to our sites and, as a result, our actual environmental costs 
and liabilities could significantly exceed our accruals.  

Further information, including the current status of significant environmental matters and the financial impact incurred for the 

remediation of such environmental matters, is included in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Financial 
Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.  

Intellectual Property  

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws to protect certain key intellectual aspects of our business. In 

addition, our pool of proprietary information, consisting of manufacturing know-how, trade secrets and unregistered copyrights 
relating to the design and operation of our facilities and systems, is considered particularly important and valuable. Accordingly, we 
protect proprietary information through all legal means practicable. However, monitoring the unauthorized use of our intellectual 
property is difficult, and the steps we have taken may not prevent all unauthorized use by others. While we consider our copyrights 
and trademarks to be important to our business, ultimately our established reputation and the products and service we provide to the 
end-customer are more important.  

Insurance  

In the normal course of business, we are subject to numerous operating risks, including risks associated with environmental, 

health and safety while manufacturing, developing and supplying products, potential damage to a customer, and the potential for an 
environmental accident.  

We currently have in force insurance policies covering property, general liability, excess liability, workers’ 

compensation/employer’s liability, product liability, product recall, fiduciary and other coverages. We seek to maintain coverages 
consistent with market practices and required by those with whom we do business. We believe that we are appropriately insured for 
the insurable risks associated with our business.

Employees  

As of December 31, 2010, we had 1,087 employees, of whom 684 were unionized hourly wage employees. We currently 
employ both union and non-union employees at most of our facilities. We believe we have a good working relationship with our 
employees, which has resulted in high productivity and low turnover in key production positions. We have experienced no work 
stoppages or strikes at any of our unionized facilities since acquiring them in 2004. We are a party to a collective bargaining 
agreement with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers 
International Union, Local No. 7-765 through January 16, 2014 at the Chicago Heights facility; International Union of Operating 
Engineers, Local No. 912 through April 15, 2013 at the Nashville facility; the Health Care, Professional, Technical, Office, 
Warehouse and Mail Order Employees Union, affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 743 through June 17, 
2011 at the Chicago (Waterway) facility; the United Steelworkers of America, Local No. 6304 through April 30, 2011 at the Port 
Maitland, Ontario facility; and the Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Industria Química, Petroquímica, Carboquímica, Gases, Similares y 
Conexos de la República Mexicana, at the Mexico facilities. The agreement at the Coatzacoalcos, Mexico facility is for an indefinite 
period, but wages are reviewed every year and the rest of the agreement is subject to negotiation every two years. The current two-
year period will expire in June 2012.

 ITEM 1A.  

RISK FACTORS  

Investing in our company involves a significant degree of risk of varying origins, including from our operations and financial 

matters. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of 
operations could be materially and adversely affected.  

Risks Related to Our Business Operations  

Raw Materials Availability and Pricing  

Our principal raw materials consist of phosphate rock, sulfur and sulfuric acid, MGA, PPA and energy (principally natural gas 
and electricity). Our raw materials are purchased under supply contracts that vary from long term multi-year supply arrangements to 
annual agreements. Pricing within contracts is typically set according to predetermined formulae dependent on price indices or market 
prices with pricing for some shorter term contracts set by negotiation with reference to market conditions. The prices we pay under 
these contracts will generally lag the underlying market prices of the raw material. Approximately 25% of our supply for 2011 is 
bought under fixed annual pricing arrangements with the remaining quantities adjusted to quarterly pricing with approximately a three 
month lag to market prices.  

Various market conditions can affect the price and supply of our raw materials. The primary demand for both phosphate rock 

and sulfur, globally, is for fertilizer production. The costs of these materials are heavily influenced by demand conditions in the 
fertilizer market and freight costs, which traditionally have been volatile. Prices for both materials escalated rapidly during 2007 and 
2008, declined during 2009 and began to increase again during 2010. Increased raw material pricing may adversely affect our margins 
if we are not able to offset costs with sales price increases as we explain under “Price Competition” below.  

Following completion of a two year initiative to qualify alternative sources of phosphate rock for our Coatzacoalcos, Mexico 

site, we have now successfully processed industrial scale quantities of phosphate rock from five suppliers and, for 2011, we expect the 
majority of our requirements to be met from three of these suppliers. Previously the Coatzacoalcos facility was supplied exclusively 
by OCP, S.A., a state-owned mining company in Morocco under a 1992 supply agreement that expired in September 2010. Although 
the Coatzacoalcos facility has made significant advances in its ability to handle alternative grades of rock without adversely affecting 
the operating efficiency; further investment will be required to realize the full benefits of improved process flexibility. Accordingly, it 
remains possible that process efficiency issues will arise as the plant processes new sources of rock over longer time periods, 
necessitating further investment or a change in rock suppliers to better suit plant processing capability. We cannot be sure that those 
kinds of efficiency issues will not arise, or if they do, that our existing or other suppliers would be able to supply sufficient additional 
quantities or grades to meet our full requirements, factors that could significantly affect our phosphate rock availability and may 
weaken our ability to maintain our existing levels of operations. Although the diversification of our supply base has reduced our 
dependence on any one supplier, tight demand conditions overall in the fertilizer market would mean that our purchases could be 
constrained were any of our major suppliers to experience a significant disruption in their ability to supply, for example as a result of 
capacity constraints, political unrest, or adverse weather conditions in the areas where that supplier operates. We also cannot be sure 
the annual or other periodic contracts we have in-place will be renewed on similar terms to those currently enjoyed.  

Natural gas prices have experienced significant volatility in the past several years. Wide fluctuations in natural gas prices may 
result from relatively minor changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty, and other factors, both domestic and foreign, that are 
beyond our control. In addition, natural gas is often a substitute for petroleum-based energy supplies and natural gas prices are 
positively correlated with petroleum prices. Future increases in the price of petroleum (resulting from increased demand, political 
instability or other factors) may result in significant additional increases in the price of natural gas. We typically purchase natural gas 
at spot market prices for use at our facilities which exposes us to that price volatility, except in those instances where, from time to 
time, we enter into longer term, fixed-price natural gas contracts.  

Most of our raw materials are supplied to us by either one or a small number of suppliers. Some of those suppliers rely, in turn, 

on sole or limited sources of supply for raw materials included in their products. Failure of our suppliers to maintain sufficient 
capability to meet changes in demand or to overcome unanticipated interruptions in their own sources of supply from force majeure 
conditions, such as disaster or political unrest, may prevent them from continuing to supply raw materials as we require them, or at all. 
Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of sole or limited source raw materials or to develop alternative sources on a timely basis if 
required could result in increased costs, which may be material, in our operations or our inability to properly maintain our existing 
level of operations.

Price Competition  

We face significant competition in each of our markets. In some markets, our products are subject to price competition due to 

factors such as competition from low-cost producers, import competition, excess industry capacity and consolidation among our 
customers and competitors. In addition, in the specialty chemicals industry, price competition is also based upon a number of other 
considerations, including product differentiation and innovation, product quality, technical service, and supply reliability. New 
products or technologies developed by competitors may also have an adverse impact on our price position. Future expansions could 
also have a negative impact on our price position.  

From time to time, we have experienced pricing pressure, particularly from significant customers and often coincident with 
periods of overcapacity in the markets in which we compete. In the past, we have taken steps to reduce costs and resist possible price 
reductions by structuring our contracts and developing strong “value-oriented” non-price related customer service relationships. 
However, price reductions in the past have adversely affected our sales and margins, and if we are not able to offset price pressure 
when it arises through improved operating efficiencies, reduced expenditures and other means, we may be subject to those same 
effects in the future.  

Innophos has experienced more intense pricing pressures in markets, and for applications, where competing producers, 
particularly those located in China and North Africa, have similar product offerings, established supply relationships, and potential 
cost advantages. Historically, this has occurred most frequently in markets such as South America where Innophos does not have local 
production capability and for less specialized products such as detergent grade STPP. Chinese phosphate producers generally utilize 
the “thermal” method, a process more heavily dependent on energy that may be cost advantaged compared to “wet” method producers 
(such as Innophos) during periods of low energy prices. Both North African and some Chinese producers are integrated back to 
phosphate rock, which also may provide cost advantages to them depending on the markets in which they choose to compete. If the 
relative competitiveness of Chinese and North African producers increases significantly, or they are successful in extending their 
product lines to more specialized product applications, pricing pressure on Innophos could increase significantly.  

Environmental, Product Regulations and Sustainability Initiative Concerns  

Our operations involve the use, handling, processing, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials and some of 

our products are ingredients in foods, nutritional supplements or pharmaceutical excipients that are used in finished products 
consumed or used by humans or animals. As a result, we are subject to extensive and frequently changing environmental and other 
regulatory requirements and periodic inspection by federal, state, and local authorities, including the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, or EPA, the FDA, and the USDA, as well as other regulatory authorities and those with jurisdiction over our foreign 
operations and product markets. Our operations also expose us to the risk of claims for environmental remediation and restoration or 
for exposure to hazardous materials. Our production facilities require various operating permits that are subject to renewal or 
modification. Violations of environmental laws, regulations, or permits may result in restrictions being imposed on operating 
activities, substantial fines, penalties, damages, the rescission of operating permits, third-party claims for property damage or personal 
injury, or other costs.  

Additional laws or regulations focused on phosphate-based products may be implemented in the future. For example, a number 

of states within the U.S. and the Canadian provinces have moved or are moving to effectively ban the use of phosphate-based products 
in consumer automatic dishwashing detergents. The trade association that includes major manufacturers of consumer automatic 
dishwashing detergents has actively supported these efforts in the U.S. and Canada, with non-phosphate legislation becoming effective 
in July 2010. This trend and related changes in consumer preferences has already reduced our requirements for auto dish markets and 
we have responded with a shift in our capabilities to serve other food and industrial applications. We cannot predict the impact and the 
corresponding responses made by our competitors. Furthermore, although already banned in consumer laundry detergents in many 
U.S. States, phosphates are still permitted for those applications in many Latin American regions and other parts of the world. We 
cannot be sure that such a ban for use in consumer laundry detergents may not be implemented in some or all of these markets in the 
future, or that the same effect may not result from manufacturers reformulating to reduce phosphate levels. Additional laws, 
regulations or distribution policies focused on reduced use of other phosphate-based products could occur in the future. For example, a 
global retailer, as part of a corporate sustainability initiative, issued a statement indicating its intent to reduce phosphates in laundry 
and dish detergents by 70% in its Latin American and Canadian stores. Also, some jurisdictions have threatened to further regulate or 
ban the use of polyphosphoric acid and orthophosphoric acid in asphalt road construction. During 2008, such restrictions were 
implemented in New York State, but reversed in Nebraska and in 2009 restrictions were reversed in Wyoming and relaxed in 
Colorado. In 2009, Colorado allowed the use of polyphosphoric acid in asphalt road construction on an exception basis. Such a ban, if 
instituted in multiple jurisdictions or throughout the U.S. and Canada, could have a significant impact on our business. Changes in 
composition or permitted-use regulations in domestic or export countries may affect the regulatory status of our finished products and 
our ability to sell these products into some markets. Such changes may in turn require reformulation or alternative raw material 
sourcing, potentially incurring additional cost. If these measures are not successful, the available markets for our products may be 
limited.  

 13

 
  
Maintaining compliance with health and safety and environmental laws and regulations has resulted in ongoing costs for us. 

Currently, we are involved in several compliance and remediation efforts and agency inspections concerning health, safety and 
environmental matters.  

Some existing environmental laws and regulations impose liability and responsibility on present and former owners, operators 
or users of facilities and sites for contamination at those locations without regard to causation or knowledge of contamination. Many 
of our sites have an extended history of industrial use. Soil and groundwater contamination have been detected at some of our sites, 
and additional contamination might occur or be discovered at these sites or other sites (including sites to which we may have sent 
hazardous waste) in the future. We continue to investigate, monitor or clean-up contamination at most of these sites. Due to the 
uncertainties associated with environmental investigations and clean-ups and the ongoing nature of the investigations and clean-ups at 
our sites, we cannot predict precisely the nature, cost, and timing of our future remedial obligations with respect to our sites.  

International Operations  

We have significant production operations in Mexico and Canada, and we continually evaluate business opportunities that may 

expand our operations to other areas beyond the Americas. We believe that revenue from sales outside the U.S. will continue to 
account for a material portion of our total revenue for the foreseeable future. There are inherent risks in international operations, the 
most notable being currency fluctuations and devaluations, economic and business conditions that differ from U.S. cycles, divergent 
social and political conditions that may become unsettled or even disruptive, and communication and translation delays and errors due 
to cultural and language barriers. Among those additional risks potentially affecting our Mexican operations are changes in local 
economic conditions, currency devaluations, potential disruption from socio-political violence in that country, and difficulty in 
contract enforcement due to differences in the Mexican legal and regulatory regimes compared to those of the U.S. Risks to our 
Canadian operations, though generally less than for Mexico, nevertheless include a differing federal and provincial regulatory 
environment from that in the U.S. and currency fluctuations and devaluations. In the event we establish operations in new regions, our 
exposures to risks from the noted causes and from other as yet unknown causes may increase.  

Our overall success as a multinational business depends, in part, upon our ability to succeed in differing economic, social and 
political conditions. Among other things, we are faced with potential difficulties in building and starting up local facilities, staffing 
and managing local workforces, and designing and effecting solutions to manage commercial risks posed by local customers and 
distributors. We may not continue to succeed in developing and implementing policies and strategies that are effective in each location 
where we do business. These risks are not limited to only those countries where we actually operate facilities, but may extend to areas 
and regions that supply and service our facilities or are supplied and serviced by them.  

As a U.S. corporation, we are subject to the regulations imposed by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, which 
generally prohibit U.S. companies, their subsidiaries and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for 
the purpose of obtaining or keeping business. We sell many of our products in developing countries through sales agents and 
distributors whose personnel are not subject to our disciplinary procedures. While we and our subsidiaries are committed to 
conducting business in a legal and ethical manner wherever we operate, and we communicate and seek to monitor compliance with 
our policies by all who do business with us, we cannot be sure that all our third party distributors or agents remain in full compliance 
with the FCPA or comparable local regulation at all times.  

Product Liability Exposure  

Many of our products are additives used in the food and beverage, consumer product, nutritional supplement and pharmaceutical 

industries. The sale of these additives and our customers’ products that include them involve the risk of product liability and personal 
injury claims, which may be brought by our customers or end-users of products. While we adhere to stringent quality standards, in the 
course of their production, storage and transportation, our products could be subject to adverse effects from foreign matter such as 
moisture, dust, odors, insects, mold, or other substances (organic or inorganic), or from excessive temperature. Historically, we have 
not been subject to material product liability claims, and none are currently outstanding. However, because our products are used in 
manufacturing a wide variety of our customers’ products, including those ingested by people, we cannot be sure we will not be subject 
to material product liability or recall claims in the future.  

 14

 
Production Facility Operating Hazards  

Our production facilities are subject to hazards associated with the manufacturing, handling, storage, and transportation of 
chemical materials and products, including failure of pipeline integrity, explosions, fires, inclement weather and natural disasters, 
terrorist attacks, mechanical failures, unscheduled downtime, transportation interruptions, remedial complications, chemical spills, 
discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances, storage tank leaks and other environmental risks. We have implemented and 
installed various management systems and engineering controls and procedures at all our production facilities to minimize these risks. 
We also insure our facilities to protect against a range of risks. However, these potential hazards do exist and could cause personal 
injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment, and environmental and natural resource damage, 
and may result in a suspension of operations (or extended shutdowns) and the imposition of civil or criminal penalties, whose nature, 
timing, severity and non-insured exposures are unknown.  

Intellectual Property Rights  

We rely on a combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures and agreements, and patent, trademark, 
copyright, unfair competition, trade secrecy, and other intellectual property laws to protect our intellectual property and other 
proprietary rights. Nonetheless, we cannot be sure that any pending patent application or trademark application will result in an issued 
patent or registered trademark, or that any issued or registered patents or trademarks will not be challenged, invalidated, circumvented 
or rendered unenforceable. The use of our intellectual property by others could reduce any competitive advantage we have developed 
or otherwise harm our business. Moreover, we cannot be sure that our property rights can be asserted in all cases or that we can defend 
ourselves successfully or cost-effectively against the assertion of rights by others.  

Contingency Planning  

We operate a number of manufacturing facilities in the US, Canada and Mexico, and we coordinate company activities, 
including our sales, customer service, information technology systems and administrative services and the like, through headquarters 
operated in those countries. In 2009, we began an enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system and business process redesign project 
to upgrade our information technology systems including updated contingency plans with an estimated full scale start-up in mid 2011. 
We cannot be sure that our plans, intentions or expectations of the business process redesign and information technology systems 
upgrade will be achieved on the schedules we anticipate or fully in accord with our expectations, as a result of which we may 
experience business disruptions from implementing our planned upgrade.  

Our sites and those of others who provide services to them are subject to varying risks of disaster and follow on consequences, 
both manmade and natural, that could degrade or render inoperable one or more of our facilities for an extended period of time. Such 
disaster related risks and effects are not predictable with certainty and, although they can be mitigated, they cannot be avoided. We 
seek to mitigate our exposures to physical disaster events in a number of ways. For example, where feasible, we design and engineer 
the configuration of our plants to reduce the consequences of disasters. We also maintain insurance for our facilities against casualties, 
including extended business interruption, and we continually evaluate our risks and develop contingency plans for dealing with them 
and policies for avoiding them in the future. For example, after suffering extensive flood damage to our products (substantially all of 
which was covered by insurance) at a third party Nashville, TN warehouse in May 2010, we have relocated our area warehousing to 
other facilities on safer ground. Although we have reviewed and analyzed a broad range of risks applicable to our business, the ones 
that actually affect us may not be those we have concluded most likely to occur. Furthermore, although our reviews have led to more 
systematic contingency planning, our plans are in varying stages of development and execution, such that they may not be adequate at 
the time of occurrence for the magnitude of any particular disaster event that befalls us.  

Contingencies Affecting Dividends  

Certain Financial Risks  

Following our 2006 public offering, our Board of Directors initiated a policy of paying regular quarterly cash dividends on our 

Common Stock, subject to the availability of funds, legal and contractual restrictions and prudent needs of our business. We have 
maintained that policy and paid dividends continuously since that time. However, we are a holding company that does not conduct any 
business operations of our own. As a result, we are normally dependent upon cash dividends, distributions and other transfers from our 
subsidiaries, most directly Innophos, Inc., our primary operating subsidiary, and Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc., its parent, to 
make dividend payments on our Common Stock. The amounts available to us to pay cash dividends are restricted by covenants in our 
debt agreements and by provisions of Delaware law. As allowed by existing debt instruments, we may incur additional indebtedness 
that may restrict to an even greater degree, or prohibit, the payment of dividends on stock. We cannot be sure the level of our 
operations or agreements governing our current or future indebtedness will permit us to adhere to our current dividend policy, or pay 
any dividends at all, or that continued payment of dividends will remain prudent for our business in the future judgment of our Board 
of Directors.

PROPERTIES  

Our headquarters are located in Cranbury, New Jersey, with manufacturing facilities strategically located throughout the United 
States, Canada, and Mexico. We operate seven facilities which manufacture our four main product lines: Specialty Ingredients, Food 
and Technical Grade PPA, STPP & Detergent Grade PPA, and GTSP & Other Products. Our largest manufacturing facility is located 
in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico. We operate four medium-size plants in Chicago Heights, Illinois, Nashville, Tennessee, Port Maitland, 
Canada (Ontario), and Geismar, Louisiana, which collectively produce our major products. We produce additional specialty salts in 
two plants located in Chicago, Illinois (Waterway), and Mission Hills, Mexico. All the facilities listed above are owned with the 
exception of Mission Hills, Mexico, where the land is leased long-term. We also lease facilities at Cranbury, New Jersey, Mexico 
City, Mexico, and Mississauga, Canada (Ontario) which house our executive, commercial, administrative, product engineering and 
research and development employees, with the Cranbury, New Jersey facility serving as our world headquarters. We also own a 
distribution facility in Chicago which we use to service our customer base. We do not own and are not responsible for any closed U.S. 
or Canadian elemental phosphorus or phosphate production sites, as these were not part of the assets or liabilities acquired when we 
commenced our independent business in 2004.

2009  

The Company paid the $0.17 per share dividend declared in the fourth quarter of 2010 in the first quarter of 2011.  

The number of holders of record of our Common Stock at February 15, 2011 was 9,061.  

Dividends  

Consistent with the determination of our Board of Directors made in December 2006, we continued to declare and pay quarterly 

dividends of $0.17 per share of Common Stock in 2010. Subject to action by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, 
management’s present policy is to recommend dividends be continued, reflecting its judgment at the present time that stockholders are 
better served if we distribute to them, as quarterly dividends payable at the discretion of the Board, a portion of the cash generated by 
our business in excess of our expected cash needs rather than retaining or using the cash for other purposes. Our expected cash needs 
include operating expenses and working capital requirements, interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, capital 
expenditures, costs associated with being a public company, taxes and other costs. If our financial needs change, management’s 
recommendations concerning dividends may also change.  

We are not required to pay dividends, and our stockholders will not be guaranteed, or have contractual or other rights, to receive 
dividends. Our Board of Directors may decide, in its discretion at any time, to decrease or increase the amount of dividends, otherwise 
modify or repeal the dividend policy or discontinue entirely the payment of dividends.  

In addition to prudent business considerations, our ability to pay dividends is restricted by the laws of Delaware, our state of 

incorporation, and may be restricted by agreements governing debt.  

Since we are a holding company, substantially all assets shown on our consolidated balance sheet are held by our subsidiaries. 
Accordingly, our earnings and cash flow and our ability to pay dividends are largely dependent upon the earnings and cash flows of 
our subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment of such earnings to us in the form of dividends. Our ability to pay dividends on 
our Common Stock is limited by restrictions in our indebtedness affecting the ability to pay dividends. See Note 9 of Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 

OPERATIONS  

This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and services and our 
future results. We based these statements on assumptions that we consider reasonable. Actual results may differ materially from those 
suggested by our forward-looking statements for various reasons including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” and “Forward-
Looking Statements” sections of this report.  

Background  

Innophos is a leading North American producer of specialty phosphates. Most specialty phosphates are highly customized, 
application-specific compounds that are engineered to meet customer performance requirements. Specialty phosphates are often 
critical to the taste, texture and performance of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, oral care products and other applications. For 
example, specialty phosphates act as flavor enhancers in beverages, electrolytes in sports drinks, texture additives in cheeses, 
leavening agents in baked goods, calcium and phosphorus sources for nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical excipients and cleaning 
agents in toothpaste.

Below is a summary chart of the corporate structure of our subsidiaries at December 31, 2010.  

2010 Overview  

Our financial performance in 2010 was highlighted by:  

•  Net sales of $714.2 million compared to $666.8 million for 2009, a $47.4 million improvement mostly attributable to 

higher volume;  

•   Operating income of $95.4 million compared to $126.9 million for 2009, where 2010 includes a net $21.0 million charge 
for expected Mexican Comision National del Agua, or CNA, Fresh Water Claims ($41.2 million gross, less a $20.2 
million Rhodia indemnity receivable);  

•  Net interest expense increased $5.0 million due to call premiums and accelerated deferred financing costs of $11.4 million 
primarily related to the redemption of $190 million Senior Subordinated Notes which was partially offset by lower interest 
expense for lower outstanding debt levels and the benefits of lower interest rates in the fourth quarter 2010 from a new 
credit facility;  

•  Net income of $45.2 million or $2.02 per share (diluted) which included charges of $12.5 million for expected future 
claims regarding Mexican water duties and $7.1 million for call premiums and accelerated deferred financing charges 
related to a mid-year refinancing;  

•   A net decrease in cash of $68.7 million was principally due to repayment of debt;  
•   A 7.8% increase in net working capital (current assets excluding cash minus current liabilities excluding current portion of 
long-term debt) to $151.4 million at December 31, 2010 to support higher sales levels and reflecting delays in receiving 
prepaid tax refunds due to our Mexican subsidiary;  

 21

 
 
•  Capital expenditures of $31.2 million compared to $19.6 million in 2009, with higher spending due to the Company’s 

enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and business redesign project and manufacturing investments consisting of:  

Port Maitland’s potassium phosphates capability  
• 
•   Nashville’s calcium phosphates capacity expansion  
•  Coatzacoalcos’ upgrade of purified phosphoric acid, or PPA to food grade capability and enhanced capability to 

process multiple grades of phosphate rock;  

•  Dividends of $.68 per share paid on the Common Stock.  

Refer to the Company’s results of operations and liquidity for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further details.  

 Recent Trends and Outlook  

Net sales for 2010 increased 7% over 2009 on 21% volume growth. Starting in the first quarter 2010, selling prices improved 
moderately for Specialty Phosphates and significantly for GTSP & Other, but in total were still lower on average compared to 2009. 
Specialty Phosphates sales of $641 million in 2010 increased 1% versus last year with volumes up 18% and prices down 17% against 
the 2009 average. The price decline was primarily in comparison to high first half 2009 pricing levels with a reducing impact through 
the year contributing to improving revenue growth. GTSP & Other sales at $74 million for 2010 were more than double those 
achieved in 2009, with volumes up 69% and prices up 48%. In addition to strong domestic demand, continued success in developing 
new markets resulted in a significant increase in export volumes with full year export revenue representing 18% of total Specialty 
Phosphates revenue, up from 12% in 2009.  

In the fourth quarter 2010, Specialty Phosphates year over year volume growth continued resulting in 11% revenue growth. 
Ongoing volume strength is expected to continue, and, combined with price increases, is expected to result in year over year Specialty 
Phosphates net sales growth rates for 2011 similar to, or better than, those achieved in the fourth quarter 2010. Specialty Phosphates 
operating income margin for 2011 is expected to be similar to the full year 2010 average, except during the first quarter 2011, when 
margins are expected to be somewhat above this level for the reasons outlined below.  

GTSP volume is expected to be strong for 2011, with pricing early in the first quarter 2011 trending higher than the fourth 
quarter level. As in prior years, volumes may vary from quarter to quarter in a wide range depending on shipment timing, with the first 
quarter typically a seasonally weaker quarter. On average, however, at current pricing levels, GTSP & Other is expected to deliver 
approximately $25 million revenue per quarter in 2011 at an operating income margin of approximately 15%, except during the first 
quarter 2011, when margins are expected to be somewhat above this level for the reasons outlined below.  

With continued strong demand for phosphate fertilizers, the key Innophos raw materials, phosphate rock and sulfur, have risen 

steadily in 2010 and further increases in market prices are indicated for the first quarter 2011. At current first quarter 2011 market 
prices, management’s expectation is for year over year raw material cost increases at the upper end of an expected $10 to $15 million 
range per quarter. Of this, $3 million was realized in the fourth quarter 2010; a similar increase is expected for the first quarter 2011, 
and the remaining increase is expected to take effect in the second quarter 2011.  

With the business expecting to successfully increase selling prices in line with market changes in raw material costs, but the 

lagged nature of purchase contracts delaying the catch up of costs of goods sold to market levels, operating income margins are 
expected to be 1 to 2 percentage points higher in first quarter 2011 than normalized levels, in spite of the impact of a scheduled 
maintenance turnaround at the Coatzacoalcos site during the first quarter.  

Trends in raw material prices are difficult to predict into the second half of 2011; however, further increases are possible and we 

would expect to be able to increase selling prices further, if required, to cover higher purchase costs.  

The Company has successfully reached agreement with three preferred phosphate rock suppliers on major terms for 2011 supply 

to the Coatzacoalcos facility. In addition to these primary sources, Innophos has options for other spot suppliers and will continue to 
qualify and develop additional new sources for potential future supply.  

Capital expenditures for 2010 were $31 million and expectations are for approximately $40 million of spending in 2011. 

Investment continues on enhancing Mexico’s capability to process multiple grades of rock consistent with the Company’s supply 
chain diversification strategy. In support of the continued success of several growth initiatives, including working with food and 
beverage customers on opportunities to reduce the sodium content in consumer products, Innophos is investing in several 
debottlenecking investments designed to strengthen the Company’s capability and increase available capacity for the potassium and 
calcium phosphate product ranges in 2011. In addition, limited investment continues in order to evaluate Innophos’ Mexican 
phosphate rock concessions. The Company is also continuing to invest in its ERP project, with management anticipating an 
implementation mid 2011. Depreciation and amortization is expected to decline by $5 million for full year 2011 versus 2010, net of 
increases for the noted capital expenditures.  

 22

 
Net debt (total debt less cash) improved by $30 million during the quarter to $85 million at the end of the 2010 fourth quarter 
and strong cash flow generation is expected to continue in 2011. The Company’s available financial resources are expected to allow 
management to continue with its growth objectives including potential “bolt-on” acquisitions.

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 year ended December 31, 2010 were $714.2 million, an increase of $47.4 million, or 7.1%, as 
compared to $666.8 million for the same period in 2009. Selling price decreases had a negative impact on revenue of 13.6% or $90.4 
million. GTSP prices increased for the comparable period in line with market prices but were offset by price declines across all other 
product lines primarily in comparison to higher pricing levels at the beginning of the prior year. Volume effects upon revenue were 
positive 20.7% or $137.8 million with all major product lines contributing.  

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 year ended December 31, 2010 the percentage changes in net sales by reportable segment compared with the prior 
year, including the effect of price and volume/mix changes upon revenue:

Gross Profit  

Gross profit represents net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $157.4 million, 

a decrease of $38.6 million, or 19.7%, as compared to $196.0 million for the same period in 2009. Gross profit percentage decreased 
to 22.0% for the year ended December 31, 2010 versus 29.4% for the same period in 2009. The change in gross profit was negatively 
affected by a $21.0 million charge for the Mexican CNA Fresh Water Claims, net of the $20.2 million Rhodia indemnity receivable, 
lower selling prices which had an unfavorable effect of $90.4 million, $3.0 million unfavorable exchange rate impact mostly from 
Mexican peso based costs, $7.6 million higher cash fixed costs mainly due to the higher operating rates at our Mexico facilities, and 
$1.1 million expense for the planned maintenance outage at our Geismar, LA manufacturing facility. Favorable impacts to gross profit 
were sales volume, lower raw material costs, lower depreciation expense, and favorable inventory related variances which resulted in 
a net favorable effect of $77.5 million. Included in the 2009 results was a charge of approximately $7.0 million as a result of the 
settlement of the arbitration arising from a phosphate rock supplier dispute.  

Operating Expenses and Research and Development  

Operating expenses in 2010 consisted primarily of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses. 
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $62.0 million, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 10.3%, as compared to 
$69.1 million for 2009. The year over year improvement in operating expenses was due to $5.2 million lower ERP project expenses as 
a result of completing the design phase and capitalizing the build phase and $5.0 million lower legal expenses related to arbitration of 
a phosphate supply dispute in the prior year partially offset by $1.7 million increased non-cash stock compensation expense and $1.4 
million increase in all other costs.  

Operating Income  

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $95.4 million, a decrease of $31.5 million, or 24.8%, as compared 

to $126.9 million for the same period in 2009. Operating income percentages decreased to 13.4% for 2010 from 19.0% for 2009.  

Interest Expense, net  

Net interest expense, including deferred financing amortization expense, for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $28.3 
million, an increase of $5.0 million, or 21.5% as compared to $23.3 million for the same period in 2009. This increase is primarily due 
to $5.6 million call premiums and increased accelerated deferred financing costs of $5.8 million related to the redemption of our $190 
million Senior Subordinated Notes. This increase was partially offset by lower interest expense from paying off the remaining balance 
of a term loan from a prior credit facility in the second quarter of 2009, the redemption of the remaining balance of the Company’s 
9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes in the second quarter of 2010 and lower interest due to the new capital structure in the fourth quarter of 
2010. There was a gain of $3.5 million recorded in the second quarter of 2009 on the retirement of $10.0 million of the 9.5% Senior 
Unsecured Notes.  

Foreign Exchange  

Foreign exchange loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.6 million as compared to a gain of $0.8 million for 2009. 
The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of our Mexican and Canadian operations. Consequently, foreign exchange gain or loss is 
recorded on re-measurement 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 decrease in the effective tax rate from 39.5% in 2009 to 32.1% in 2010 is primarily the result of the net tax effect of CNA 

Fresh Water Claims reducing our tax rate by 4.9%, an increase in the domestic manufacturing deduction reducing the rate by 1.4% and 
an additional tax liability in 2009 under the Mexican alternative minimum tax (“IETU”) rules increasing the tax rate in 2009 by 0.9% 
as compared to 2010.

Net Income  

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $45.2 million, a decrease of $17.9 million as compared to $63.1 million 

for the same period in 2009, due to the factors described above.  

Year Ended December 31, 2009 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2008  

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 year ended December 31, 2009 were $666.8 million, a decrease of $268.0 million, or 28.7%, 
as compared to $934.8 million for the same period in 2008. Selling price decreases had a negative impact on revenue of 0.9% or $8.4 
million. Lower prices for GTSP fertilizer co-product sales, and to a lesser extent STPP & Detergent Grade PPA were mostly offset by 
increased prices in Specialty Ingredients. Volume and mix effects upon revenue had a negative effect of 27.8% or $259.6 million 
which occurred across all product lines and reporting segments, but most significantly in STPP & Detergent Grade PPA in Mexico, 
where Innophos’ then largest customer reduced volumes due to a permanent shutdown of their largest STPP plant in the first quarter 
of 2009.  

The following table illustrates for the year ended December 31, 2009 the percentage changes in net sales by reportable segment 

compared with the prior year, including the effect of price and volume/mix changes upon revenue:

Gross Profit  

Gross profit represents net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $196.0 million, 
a decrease of $168.6 million, or 46.2%, as compared to $364.6 million for the same period in 2008. Gross profit percentage decreased 
to 29.4% for the year ended December 31, 2009 versus 39.0% for the same period in 2008. The change in gross profit was due to 
lower selling prices, which had a negative impact of $8.4 million, unfavorable sales volume and mix impact upon revenue and higher 
raw material costs which had a combined unfavorable impact of $158.1 million. As a result of reduced operating rates and higher raw 
material costs for 2009, the company incurred $12.2 million of reduced fixed cost absorptions and unfavorable inventory related 
variances. In addition, the company took a charge of approximately $7.0 million as a result of the settlement of the arbitration arising 
from a phosphate rock supplier dispute and also took a charge of $1.6 million for Mexican workforce reduction costs. These 
unfavorable effects were partially offset by $8.9 million lower cash fixed costs and $7.2 million favorable exchange rate impacts, both 
primarily in Mexico. Included in 2008 results were $1.3 million expense for a scheduled Geismar, LA plant maintenance outage, and 
$1.3 million asset impairment charge for two obsolete production units.  

Operating Expenses and Research and Development  

Operating expenses in 2009 consisted primarily of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses. 
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $69.1 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 5.2%, as compared to 
$65.7 million for 2008. The change in operating expenses was due to an increase of $6.4 million for our ERP project, and $5.0 million 
increased legal expenses related to arbitration of the phosphate rock supplier dispute, partially offset by $2.1 million lower legal and 
other fees which were incurred in 2008 to comply with the DOJ STPP document request subpoena, $2.5 million lower professional 
fees used to support growth and other corporate initiatives, net $1.7 million lower post-restructured expenses in Mexico, $1.6 million 
favorable exchange rate impact from our Mexican peso based costs, and $0.1 million decrease in all other costs.

Operating Income  

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $126.9 million, a decrease of $172.0 million, or 57.5%, as 
compared to $298.9 million for the same period in 2008. Operating income percentages decreased to 19.0% for 2009 from 32.0% for 
2008.  

Interest Expense, net  

Net interest expense, including deferred financing amortization expense, for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $23.3 

million, a decrease of $10.9 million, or 31.9% as compared to $34.2 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease is primarily 
due to a gain of $3.5 million on the retirement of $10.0 million of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012, lower average interest 
rates and the lower average balance of our Term Loan resulting from the $126.5 million principal payments made in the first half of 
2009 to pay off the balance of the Term Loan.  

Foreign Exchange  

Foreign exchange gain for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $0.8 million as compared to a $2.7 million loss for 2008. The 

U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of our Mexican and Canadian operations. Consequently, foreign exchange gain or loss is 
recorded on re-measurement 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  

Provision for income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $41.3 million, a decrease of $13.9 million or 
25.2% as compared to $55.2 million for 2008. The increase in the effective tax rate from 21.0% in 2008 to 39.5% in 2009 is primarily 
a result of a $24.9 million benefit in 2008 from the reversal of valuation allowances against U.S. federal net deferred tax assets mainly 
as the result of the usage of our net operating loss carry-forwards. In addition, there were unfavorable 2009 impacts on deferred taxes 
of a strengthening Mexican peso versus the U.S. dollar, a recently enacted increase in Mexican corporate tax rates for 2010 and 
approximately $1.0 million additional tax liability under the Mexican alternative minimum tax (IETU) rules which exceeded a 
favorable enacted tax rate change in Canada.  

Net Income  

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $63.1 million, a decrease of $144.1 million as compared to $207.2 

million for the same period in 2008, due to the factors described above.

Segment Net Sales:  

Specialty Phosphates US & Canada net sales decreased 1.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared with the 

same period in 2009. Volumes increased 15.6% with success in food and beverage markets driving strong specialty salts sales and 
recovery of industrial markets benefiting PPA. Selling prices decreased 16.7% primarily in comparison to higher pricing levels at the 
beginning of the prior year. In 2009 net sales decreased 4.6% when compared with 2008. Selling prices increased sales 20.8% with 
increases across all product lines, most notably in Specialty Ingredients. Volumes decreased 25.4%, with decreases across all product 
lines.  

Specialty Phosphates Mexico net sales increased 10.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared with the same 
period in 2009. Volumes increased 27.6% as Mexico was able to increase operating rates after securing competitive phosphate rock 
supply. Selling prices decreased 17.5% primarily in comparison to higher pricing levels at the beginning of the prior year. In 2009 net 
sales decreased 54.8% when compared with 2008. Selling prices decreased sales 12.2% with decreases across all product lines. 
Volumes decreased 42.6% which occurred across all product lines, most notably in Detergent Grade PPA, where Innophos’ largest 
customer reduced volumes due to a permanent shutdown of their largest plant in the first quarter of 2009. In addition, the terms of the 
Company’s former rock supply contract, having been favorable to market in 2008, became significantly unfavorable to market in 
2009, rendering Specialty Phosphates Mexico uncompetitive in most market segments and leading to substantially reduced production 
rates in 2009.  

GTSP & Other net sales increased 116.5% for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared with the same period in 2009 

on 69.0% higher volumes and 47.5% higher selling prices which improved in line with market. In 2009 net sales decreased 71.3% 
when compared with 2008, primarily on selling price declines of 69.1% due to lower prices for GTSP fertilizer co-product sales. 
Volumes were also unfavorable, partly offset by favorable mix to give a net volume/mix decline of 2.2%.  

Segment Operating Income Percentage of Net Sales:  

The 4.8% decrease in Specialty Phosphates US & Canada for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with the same period 

in 2009 is mainly due to decreased selling prices partially offset by lower raw material costs and decreased manufacturing, 
depreciation and operating expenses. The 3.2% increase in the Specialty Phosphates US & Canada for the year ended December 31, 
2009 compared with the same period in 2008 was mainly due to favorable selling prices which were offset by unfavorable volumes, 
higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs.  

The 3.1% decrease in Specialty Phosphates Mexico for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 

2009 is mainly due to decreased selling prices, higher manufacturing costs due to higher operating rates and higher logistics costs 
related to third quarter weather disruption partially offset by lower legal fees and lower raw material costs. Included in the 2009 results 
were $2.0 million Mexican workforce reorganization costs. The 28.7% decrease in Specialty Phosphates Mexico from 2008 to 2009 
was due to unfavorable selling prices, unfavorable volumes, increased cost of goods sold as a result of disadvantaged raw material 
costs to market and legal fees and settlement charges related to a phosphate rock supplier dispute.  

The 14.5% increase in GTSP & Other for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with the same period in 2009 is 

primarily due to significantly higher selling prices and lower raw material costs partially offset by a $21.0 million charge for the 
Mexican CNA Fresh Water Claims, net of the Rhodia indemnity receivable of $20.2 million. The 95.9% decrease in GTSP & Other 
from 2008 to 2009 was mainly due to unfavorable selling prices.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2009  

Net cash provided by operating activities was $76.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $174.1 
million for 2009, a decrease of $98.1 million. The decrease in operating activities cash resulted primarily from unfavorable changes of 
$76.1 million in working capital and $17.9 million in net income as described earlier.  

The change in working capital is a use of cash of $19.2 million in 2010 compared to a source in 2009 of $56.9 million, a 
decrease in cash of $76.1 million. The change in working capital is mainly due to increases in other current assets, accounts receivable 
and inventory to support higher sales levels and increased operating rates in Mexico. Other current assets include a $20.2 million 
receivable from Rhodia for indemnity of the pre-2002 CNA Fresh Water Claims and $15.9 million of tax refunds due to our Mexican 
subsidiary. This was partially offset by higher accounts payable and other current liabilities due to recording a $41.6 million liability 
for both the pre-2002 and expected post-2002 CNA Fresh Water Claims.  

Total inventories increased $9.5 million from December 2009 levels. However, days of inventory on hand decreased five days.

Net cash used for investing activities was $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $19.6 million for 

2009, an increase in the use of cash of $11.6 million which was mainly due to higher capital spending for the Company’s ERP project 
and several manufacturing expansion projects.  

In the second quarter of 2009 the Company launched an ERP project to upgrade its systems technology and to improve its 

position as a reliable specialty phosphate supplier. To date the Company has spent approximately $24.7 million on this project, of 
which approximately $17.0 million was capitalized as of December 31, 2010. Management anticipates implementation in mid 2011.  

The Company is investing to grow its food, beverage and pharmaceutical phosphate business, especially geographically, and 

also to diversify its raw material supply long term. Projects are underway in the U.S. to debottleneck and increase production 
capabilities of various specialty salts such as the recently announced $4.5 million calcium leavening agents project at its Nashville, TN 
plant. The Company also has a smaller investment in its Port Maitland, Canada facility to manufacture potassium phosphates. 
Additionally, in conjunction with the investment in the Coatzacoalcos facility to more than double its existing food grade PPA 
capacity which was completed in the first quarter 2010, the site personnel have conducted successful production tests of several 
additional food grade specialty salts to enable a shift in focus from detergency to the multiple food market segments served by 
specialty salts and food grade PPA.  

Innophos currently estimates that full exploration costs to a proven reserves standard for its Santo Domingo mining concession 

deposit could require expenditures of $10 to $15 million over a period, currently estimated at three to five years, inclusive of 
expenditures to date. This estimate includes mineral rights payments, taxes, mineral resource measurement, beneficiation process 
design and completion of feasibility studies. Full expenditures would only occur if interim milestone goals were successfully attained. 
2010 expenditures on the exploration of the Baja California Sur concession deposits were approximately $1.0 million. It is estimated 
that 2011 overall concession-related expenditures will be approximately $1.0 million to $4.5 million, with efforts primarily focused on 
the Santo Domingo deposit. Innophos intends to seek one or more partners for these efforts, but anticipates no difficulties in 
completing the exploration phase without a partnership.  

Net cash used for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010, was a use of $113.5 million, compared to a use of 
$147.4 million in 2009, a decrease in the use of cash of $33.9 million. This was mainly due to funds received from the new 2010 bank 
Credit Agreement in the form of a $100 million term loan and a $70 million revolver draw, of which $20 million was subsequently 
repaid during 2010. These funds along with $20 million of on-hand cash were used to redeem the $190 million Senior Subordinated 
Notes due 2014. In the second quarter of 2010, there was a net $49.5 million decrease in cash for the redemption of the remaining 
balance of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012. In 2009, there were $126.5 million of term loan principal payments under a 
previous credit facility entered into in 2004.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2008  

Net cash provided by operating activities was $174.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $142.8 
million for 2008, an increase of $31.3 million. The increase in operating activities cash resulted from favorable changes of $165.1 
million in working capital and $11.9 million in non-cash items affecting net income, partially offset by unfavorable changes of 
$144.1million in net income and $1.6 million in non-current accounts.  

The change in working capital is a source of cash of $56.9 million in 2009 compared to a use in 2008 of $108.2 million, an 

increase in the source of cash of $165.1 million. The change in working capital is due to decreases in accounts receivable and 
inventory, and increased other current liabilities, partially offset by decreased accounts payable and increased other current assets. The 
change in working capital for our Mexican operations is a source of cash of $23.3 million in 2009 compared to a use in 2008 of $56.9 
million, a change in working capital of $80.2 million mainly due to decreases in inventory attributable to lower operating rates.  

Total inventories decreased $31.7 million from December 2008 levels. Days of inventory on hand decreased four days as a 

result. The following chart shows its historical performance:

Net cash used for investing activities was $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $18.5 million for 

2008, an increase in the use of cash of $1.1 million which was mainly due to higher capital spending. Net cash used for investing 
activities for our Mexican operations, mainly capital expenditures, was $5.5 million in 2009, compared to $4.8 million for the same 
period in 2008, an increase in the use of cash of $0.7 million.  

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company launched an enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system and business process 

redesign project to upgrade its systems technology and to improve its position as a reliable specialty phosphate supplier. As of 
December 31, 2009, the Company had spent approximately $11.4 million on this project, of which approximately $5.0 million was 
capitalized as of December 31, 2009, and future expenditures on the ERP project were expected to total approximately $12 to $14 
million by the end of 2010, with the majority of this spending anticipated as capital expenditures.  

Net cash used for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009, was a use of $147.4 million, compared to a use of 

$14.6 million in 2008, an increase in the use of cash of $132.8 million. This was mainly due to $124.5 million higher term loan 
principal payments to satisfy the excess cash flow requirement for 2008 and subsequently to pay off the remaining balance of the term 
loan as described below, a $6.5 million payment to retire a portion of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012, $1.0 million 
deferred financing charges on the new loan and security agreement and $0.6 million lower excess tax benefit from exercise of stock 
options. Net cash from financing activities for our Mexican operations in 2009 was a use of $51.5 million compared to a use of $31.0 
million in for the same period in 2008, an increase in cash payments of $20.5 million for intercompany debt obligations which are 
eliminated in consolidation.  

Indebtedness  

Total debt was $149.0 million as of December 31, 2010. Short term and long term debt net of cash was $85.2 million as of 

December 31, 2010, a decrease of $28.3 million, or 24.9% from December 31, 2009.  

On September 27, 2010, the Company redeemed for cash all of the $190.0 million Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014. The 
Company paid $197.6 million, including a call premium of approximately $5.6 million and accrued interest of approximately $2.0 
million. In connection with the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company charged to earnings accelerated deferred 
financing charges of approximately $4.5 million.  

 On August 27, 2010, Innophos Holdings, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc. and Innophos, 
Inc. entered into a Credit Agreement with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement provides the Companies with a term loan of 
$100.0 million and a revolving line of credit from the Lenders of up to $125.0 million, including a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-
facility, all maturing on August 26, 2015. Prepayments of term loan are required at the rate of 1% of original principal amount (or $1 
million) per quarter beginning on December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, $99.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan 
and $50.0 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit with total availability at $73.7 million, taking into account $1.3 
million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. As a result of this refinancing, annual consolidated net interest 
expense is estimated to be reduced by approximately $11.5 million. Refer to Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in 
“Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.  

Prior to the 2010 credit facility, Innophos, Inc. and its subsidiary, Innophos Canada, Inc. entered into a Loan and Security 

Agreement on May 22, 2009 which replaced a Credit Agreement dated as of August 13, 2004.  

 30

 
  
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
 
 
In the third quarter of 2010 the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an original notional amount of $100 million 

adjusting quarterly consistent with the 2010 term loan, with a fixed rate of 1.994% plus the applicable margin on the debt expiring in 
August 2015. The Company has the right to cancel the swap with no fee on September 28, 2012 and anytime thereafter. The fair value 
of this interest rate swap is an asset of approximately $0.4 million as of December 31, 2010.  

In April 2009, the Company purchased $10.0 million of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012 for $6.5 million. The $3.5 
million retirement gain is reflected as interest income in our Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2009. The 
Company also recorded accelerated deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.  

The Company redeemed for cash all remaining $56.0 million of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes in April 2010. The 
redemption price for the Notes was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest of $2.7 million to the date of redemption. 
Accelerated deferred financing charges in connection with the redemption of $0.6 million were recorded in the second quarter of 
2010.  

Innophos and its subsidiaries and affiliates may from time to time seek to acquire or otherwise retire outstanding debt through 
privately negotiated transactions, exchanges or otherwise. Debt repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market 
conditions, Company liquidity requirements, restrictive financial covenants and other factors applicable at the time. The amounts 
involved may be material.  

As indicated elsewhere, the Company pays a quarterly dividend on its Common Stock at an annual rate of $0.68 per share. That 

policy may change and is subject to numerous conditions and variables. See the section entitled “Dividends” in Item 5 of this Form 
10-K.  

The Company’s available financial resources allow for the continuation of dividend payments, pursuit of several “bolt-on” 
acquisition projects and further geographic expansion initiatives. We further believe that on-hand cash combined with cash generated 
from operations, including our Mexican operations, and availability under our revolving line of credit, will be sufficient to meet our 
obligations such as debt service, tax payments, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve 
months. We expect to fund all these obligations through our existing cash and our future operating cash flows. However, future 
operating performance for the Company is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and various other factors that 
are uncertain. If the cash flows and other capital resources available to the Company, such as its revolving loan facility, are 
insufficient to fund our debt and other liquidity needs, the Company may have to take alternative actions that differ from current 
operating plans.  

We are subject to Rhodia’s ability to perform its obligations under our 2004 acquisition agreement, primarily to indemnify us 

against CNA Fresh Water Claims currently estimated at $25.5 million for the periods through 2002. Such indemnification rights have 
been confirmed by court judgments.  

Since the CNA Fresh Water Claims were upheld for the periods through 2002, it is possible that the CNA would seek to claim 

similar higher duties, fees and other charges for fresh water extraction and usage from 2005 on into the future (2003 and 2004 are 
believed to be beyond the statute of limitations). In 2010, the Company recorded in cost of goods sold a charge of $16.1 million 
(including estimated inflation, interest and penalties) and an income tax benefit of $3.3 million in 2010 resulting in a $12.8 million net 
charge. Although not included in our court judgments in ongoing litigation against Rhodia, we believe Rhodia is required to indemnify 
us fully for post-closing “losses” caused by breaches of covenants set forth in our 2004 acquisition agreement. Rhodia has contested 
indemnification responsibility for those breaches. Refer to Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. 
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.  

 Capital Expenditures and Maintenance Expense  

We spent $31.2 million in 2010 on projects that were capitalized. Additionally, we spent $30.8 million in 2010 on maintenance 

projects that were expensed during the year, including $1.1 million for the planned maintenance outage at our Geismar, LA 
manufacturing facility. These amounts compare to $19.6 million of 2009 capitalized projects and $23.3 million of maintenance 
projects that were expensed during 2009. There were no planned major non-annual maintenance expenses in 2009. Management 
projects total 2011 capital expenditures to approximate $40 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies  

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial 
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of 
our financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, 
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to 
allowance for bad debts, the recoverability of long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, goodwill, depreciation and 
amortization periods, income taxes and commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on 
various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making 
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ 
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our 
more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.  

Claims and Legal Proceedings  

The categories of asserted or unasserted claims for which the Company has estimated a probable liability and for which amounts 

are estimable are critical accounting estimates. Please refer to the section entitled “Commitments and Contingencies” in Note 16 of 
Item Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information 
about such estimates.  

Deferred Taxes  

Deferred taxes are accounted for by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of 
events that have been recognized in the financial statements. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on 
the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in 
which the differences are expected to reverse.  

Deferred tax assets are assessed for recoverability and a valuation allowance is considered necessary if it is more likely than not 

that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. We continue to analyze our current and future profitability 
and probability of the realization of our net deferred tax assets in future periods. Please refer to the section entitled “Income Taxes” 
(contained in Note 15) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for 
additional information regarding deferred taxes.  

 Goodwill  

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets of the businesses acquired. Accounting 
Standards Codification (ASC) 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” requires periodic tests of the impairment of goodwill. ASC 
350 requires a comparison, at least annually, of the net book value of the assets and liabilities associated with a reporting unit, 
including goodwill, with the fair value of the reporting unit, which corresponds to the discounted cash flows of the reporting unit, in 
the absence of an active market. When this comparison indicates that impairment must be recorded, the impairment recognized is the 
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of these assets. The annual goodwill impairment review is 
conducted during the fourth quarter of each year.

Fair values for goodwill testing are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. Significant estimates in the discounted 

cash flow approach include the cash flow forecasts for each of our reporting units, the discount rate and the terminal value. The five 
year cash flow forecasts of the company’s reporting units is based upon management’s estimate at the date of the assessment, which 
incorporates managements long-term view of selling prices, sales volumes for Innophos’ products, key raw materials and energy costs, 
and our operating cost structure. The aggregated fair value of our reporting units was reconciled to our market capitalization at the 
date of the assessment, plus a suitable control premium. The terminal value was determined by applying business growth factors for 
each reporting unit which are in-line with longer term historical growth rates, to the latest year for which a forecast exists.  

Our market capitalization during fourth quarter of 2010 exceeded the book value of our equity.  

Our reporting units for goodwill purposes are Specialty Phosphates United States, Specialty Phosphates Canada, Specialty 
Phosphates Mexico and GTSP & Other. As of December 31, 2010, the fair values of our reporting units were substantially greater than 
their carrying values.  

Long-lived assets  

Under ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment and amortized 
intangible assets are evaluated and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of 
the carrying amount of the assets to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. When this 
comparison indicates that impairment must be recorded, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the 
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  

The determination of whether or not assets are impaired and the corresponding useful lives of these long-lived assets requires 

significant judgment. The development of future cash flow projections requires management estimates related to forecasted sales and 
expected costs trends. To the extent that changes in business conditions occur or other management decisions are made that result in 
adjusted management projections or alternative use of the assets, impairment losses or accelerated depreciation may occur in future 
periods.  

Stock-Based Compensation Expense  

Our compensation programs can include share-based payments. The primary share-based awards and their general terms and 

conditions currently in effect are as follows:  

•  

• 

• 

•  

Stock options, which entitle the holder to purchase, after the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of 
Innophos common stock at an exercise price per share set equal to the market price of Innophos common stock on the date 
of grant.  
Restricted stock grants, which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of each vesting term, a specified number of shares of 
Innophos common stock, and which also entitle the holder to receive dividends paid on such grants throughout the vesting 
period.  
Performance share awards which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a number of shares of Innophos 
common stock, within a range of shares from zero to a specified maximum, calculated using a multi-year future average 
return on performance parameters selected in advance as defined solely by reference to the Company’s own activities. 
Dividends will accrue over the vesting period and are paid on performance share awards when fully vested and 
distributed.  
Annual stock retainer grants, which entitle independent members of the Board of Directors to receive a number of shares 
of the Company’s common stock equal to a fixed retainer value.  

The fair value of the options granted during 2010, 2009 and 2008 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing 

model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:  

Non-qualified stock options

Since Innophos Holdings, Inc. was a newly public entity and has limited historical data on the price of its publicly traded shares, 

the expected volatility for the valuation of its stock options prior to 2009 was based on peer group historical volatility data equaling 
the expected term. In 2009 and 2010, the Company had chosen a blended volatility which consists of 50% historical volatility average 
of a peer group and 50% historical volatility average of Innophos. The increase in the expected volatility in 2009 and 2010 versus 
prior periods is a result of broader market conditions. The expected term for the stock options is based on the simplified method since 
the Company has limited data on the exercises of its stock options. These stock options qualify as “plain vanilla” stock options in 
accordance with SAB 110. The dividend yield is the expected annual dividend payments divided by the average stock price up to the 
date of grant. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury securities in effect on the date of grant whose maturity 
period equals the options expected term. The Company applies an expected forfeiture rate to stock-based compensation expense. The 
estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily upon historical experience of employee turnover. As actual forfeitures become known, 
stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.  

Pension and Post-Retirement Costs / Post-Employment Plan  

The Company maintains both noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans that together cover 

all U.S. and Canadian employees.  

In the United States, salaried and hourly employees are covered by a defined contribution plan with a 401(k) feature. The plan 
provides for employee contributions, company matching contributions, and an age-weighted annual company contribution to eligible 
employees. Union-represented hourly employees at our Nashville site are covered by a traditional defined benefit plan providing 
benefits based on years of service and final average pay whose benefit accruals were frozen as of August 1, 2007, after which the 
Nashville union employees began participating in the Company’s existing non contributory defined contribution benefit plan. All 
plans were established by Innophos in 2004.  

In Canada, salaried employees are covered by defined contribution plans which provide for company contributions as a percent 
of pay, employee contributions, and company matching contributions. Union-represented hourly employees are covered by a defined 
benefit plan providing benefits based on a negotiated benefit level and years of service.  

Our pension and postretirement benefit costs are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key 

assumptions, including the discount rate and the expected long-term rate on plan assets. These assumptions require significant 
judgment and material changes in our pension and postretirement benefit costs may occur in the future due to changes in these 
assumptions, changes in levels of benefits provided, and changes in asset levels. Such assumptions are based on benchmarks obtained 
from third party sources.  

As a sensitivity measure, the effect of a 25 basis-point decrease in our discount rate assumption would increase our net periodic 

benefit cost for our pension and post-retirement plans by approximately $61. A 1% decrease in our expected rate of return on plan 
assets would increase our pension plan expense by $151.  

Recently Issued Accounting Standards  

New accounting standards effective in 2010 are described in the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section in Note 1 of Notes 

to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”.

ITEM  7A.  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 Loan 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 December 31, 2010, we had $99.0 million principal amount of variable-rate debt and a $125.0 million revolving credit 
facility, of which $50.0 million was outstanding, both of which approximate fair value. Total remaining availability was $73.7 million, 
taking into account $1.3 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. In the third quarter of 2010 we entered 
into an interest rate swap with an original notional amount of $100 million adjusting quarterly consistent with the Term Loan, with a 
fixed rate of 1.994% plus the applicable margin on the debt, expiring in August 2015. The Company has the right to cancel the swap 
with no fee on September 28, 2012 and anytime thereafter.  

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 cash flow has been used to service debt and fund 
working capital needs, which may affect our ability to make future acquisitions or capital expenditures. We may from time to time 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.  

In the second quarter of 2010, we purchased forward natural gas price cap contracts which allow us to purchase a portion of our 
monthly natural gas usage requirements at a fixed price if prevailing market prices are greater than the contractual fixed price amount. 
These contracts are for periods expiring through April 2011, and apply to our U.S., Canadian and Mexican facilities.  

We do not currently, but may from time to time, hedge our currency rate 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. Our largest customer in 2008 represented 11% of that year’s sales, 
otherwise, no other 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 translated at current exchange rates, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange 
rates, and revenue and expenses are translated 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.  

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. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for further information on raw materials availability and pricing.  

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm  

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Innophos Holdings, Inc:  
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the 

financial position of Innophos Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations 
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index 
appearing under Item 15(b) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the 
related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal 
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is 
responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial 
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial 
statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated 
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are 
free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 
Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the 
overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of 
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and 
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we 
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.  

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 

reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that 
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the 
assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being 
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a 
material effect on the financial statements.  

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.

INNOPHOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)  

1. Basis of Statement Presentation:  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  

Fiscal Year  

Our fiscal year end is December 31.  

Description of Business and Principles of Consolidation  

Innophos is a leading North American producer of specialty phosphates. Many specialty phosphates are application-specific 
compounds engineered to meet customer performance requirements. Specialty phosphates are often critical to the taste, texture and 
performance of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, oral care products and other applications. For example, specialty phosphates act as 
flavor enhancers in beverages, electrolytes in sports drinks, texture additives in cheeses, leavening agents in baked goods, calcium and 
phosphorus sources for nutritional supplements, pharmaceutical excipients and cleaning agents in toothpaste.  

Innophos Holdings, Inc. is the parent of Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc., which owns 100% of Innophos, Inc; all are 

incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  

Certain prior year balances have been restated to conform to current year presentation.  

Use of Estimates  

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires the 
use of judgments and estimates made by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant 
estimates pertaining to the Company include accruals for contingencies, distributor incentives and rebates, the valuation of 
inventories, the allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax valuation allowances, the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill 
analysis. Management routinely reviews its estimates and assumptions utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and 
circumstances, and historical experience.  

Cash Equivalents  

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  

Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts  

Trade accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and does not bear interest. The collectability of accounts 

receivable is evaluated based on a combination of factors. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded based on the length of time 
the receivables are past due and historical experience. In circumstances when it is probable that a specific customer is unable to meet 
its financial obligations, an allowance is recorded against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is reasonably 
expected to be collected.  

Inventories  

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out method. These costs 

include raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and depreciation. Spare parts are included in inventory and are initially 
recorded at cost.  

Inventories, including spare parts, are evaluated for excess quantities, obsolescence or shelf-life expiration. This evaluation 
includes an analysis of historical sales levels by product and projections of future demand. To the extent management determines there 
are excess, obsolete or expired inventory quantities, valuation reserves are recorded against all or a portion of the value of the related 
products with the appropriate charge to cost of goods sold.  

 42

 
Property, Plant and Equipment  

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are 
capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of all 
property, plant and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is 
reflected in net income. Interest is capitalized in connection with the construction of major renewals and improvements. Capitalized 
interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life. Depreciation is 
calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from ten to forty years for buildings 
and improvements, three to twenty years for machinery and equipment, and three to seven years for capitalized software. Leasehold 
improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is less.  

Long-Lived Assets  

Under ASC 360,” Property, Plant, and Equipment,” long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment and amortized 
intangible assets are evaluated and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of 
the carrying amount of the assets to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. When this 
comparison indicates that impairment must be recorded, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the 
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  

The determination of whether or not assets are impaired and the corresponding useful lives of these long-lived assets requires 

significant judgment. The development of future cash flow projections requires management estimates related to forecasted sales and 
expected costs trends. To the extent that changes in business conditions occur or other management decisions are made that result in 
adjusted management projections or alternative use of the assets, impairment losses or accelerated depreciation may occur in future 
periods.  

Goodwill  

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets of the businesses acquired. ASC 350, 

“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” requires periodic tests of the impairment of goodwill. ASC 350 requires a comparison, at least 
annually, of the net book value of the assets and liabilities associated with a reporting unit, including goodwill, with the fair value of 
the reporting unit, which corresponds to the discounted cash flows of the reporting unit, in the absence of an active market. When this 
comparison indicates that impairment must be recorded, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the 
assets exceeds the fair value of these assets. The annual goodwill impairment review is conducted during the fourth quarter of each 
year.  

Other Intangible Assets  

Other intangible assets, which consist of developed technology, customer relationships, tradenames, a non-compete agreement, 

patents, licenses and software, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. For capitalized software the 
amortization period is three to seven years; all other identifiable intangibles amortization period is up to twenty years.  

External direct costs in developing or obtaining internal use computer software and payroll, and payroll-related costs for 
employees dedicated solely to the project, to the extent of the time spent directly on the project and which they meet the requirements 
of ASC 350-40, are capitalized.  

Revenue Recognition  

Revenues from sales of products are recognized when delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss passes to the customer. In 

the United States and Canada, the Company records estimated reductions to revenue for distributor incentives and customer incentives 
such as rebates, at the time of the initial sale. Distributor and customer incentives in Mexico are immaterial to the financial statements. 
The estimated reductions are based on the sales terms, historical experience and trend analysis. Accruals for distributor incentives are 
reflected as a direct reduction to accounts receivable and accruals for rebates are recorded as accrued expenses. This analysis requires 
a significant amount of judgment from management. Changes in the assumptions used to calculate these estimates or changes resulting 
from actual results are recorded against revenue in the period in which the change occurs.  

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs and Advertising Expenses  

Shipping and handling fees and costs invoiced to customers are included in Net sales. Shipping and handling fees and costs 

incurred by the Company are included in Cost of goods sold. Advertising expenses, which are not significant, are expensed as 
incurred.  

 43

 
Foreign Currency Translation  

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian and Mexican operations. Accordingly, these operations monetary 

assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange 
rates. Revenue and expenses related to monetary assets and liabilities are translated at average exchange rates and at historical 
exchange rates for the related revenue and expenses of non-monetary assets and liabilities. All translation gains and losses are 
included in net income.  

Research and Development Expenses  

Research and development expenditures, including expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes and 

significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed as incurred.  

Employee Termination Benefits  

The Company does not have a written severance plan for its Mexican operations, nor does it offer similar termination benefits to 

affected employees in all Mexican restructuring initiatives however, Mexican law requires payment of certain minimum termination 
benefits. Accordingly, in situations where minimum statutory termination benefits must be paid to the affected employees, the 
Company records employee severance costs associated with these activities in accordance with ASC 712, Compensation – 
Nonretirement Post employment Benefits. The Company does have a written severance plan which is in accordance with ASC 712 for 
its U.S. and Canadian operations. The Company has an accrued obligation for post-employment benefits for U.S. and Canadian 
operations when the amounts are probable and reasonably estimated. In all other situations where the Company pays out termination 
benefits, including supplemental benefits paid in excess of statutory minimum amounts and benefits offered to affected employees 
based on management’s discretion, the Company records these termination costs in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost 
Obligations.  

The timing of the recognition of charges for employee severance costs depends on whether the affected employees are required 

to render service beyond their legal notification period in order to receive the benefits. If affected employees are required to render 
service beyond their legal notification period, charges are recognized ratably over the future service period. Otherwise, charges are 
recognized when a specific plan has been confirmed by management and required employee communication requirements have been 
met.  

Legal Costs  

The Company expenses legal costs as incurred, including those legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss 

contingency.  

Income Taxes  

The Company’s United States subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. tax return. For 2010, the Mexican subsidiaries file separate 
tax returns and current income taxes receivable or payable are reflected on the accompanying balance sheets. The Company accounts 
for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based 
on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases using enacted tax rates applied to those differences.  

Deferred tax assets are assessed for recoverability and a valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the 

associated tax benefit will not be recognized.  

The Company does not have any material uncertain income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10-25. If any material 
uncertain tax positions did arise, the Company’s policy is to accrue associated penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses 
and to accrue interest as part of net interest expense. Currently, the Company is under examination, or has been contacted for 
examination, by certain foreign jurisdictions for its income tax returns for the years 2004 through 2008. As of December 31, 2010, no 
significant 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. The Company currently does not anticipate that total 
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change prior to December 31, 2011.  

 44

 
  
 Environmental Costs  

Environmental liabilities are recorded undiscounted when it is probable that these liabilities have been incurred and the amounts 

can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities are estimated based on an assessment of many factors, including the amount of 
remediation costs, the timing and extent of remediation actions required by the applicable governmental authorities, and the amount of 
the Company’s liability after considering the liability and financial resources of other potentially responsible parties. Generally, the 
recording of these accruals coincides with the assertion of a claim or litigation, completion of a feasibility study or a commitment to a 
formal plan of action. Anticipated recoveries from third parties are recorded as a reduction of expense only when such amounts are 
realized. Any insurance receivables would be recorded gross of the estimated liability.  

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)  

Other comprehensive income (loss) is composed of net income (loss), adjusted for changes in other comprehensive income 

items such as changes in defined benefit pension plan funded status. In accordance with ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, the 
Company has identified and reported other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.  

Stock Options  

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the historical stock option strips originally granted on April 1, 2005 

under the Innophos Holdings, Inc. 2005 Stock Option Plan, or 2005 Plan, were converted, as required under the terms of the 2005 
Plan, to 1,116,944 single class common stock options currently outstanding with the same vesting schedule. The exercise price is 
$2.55 per option. The determination of the fair value of the underlying common stock used to determine the exercise prices for the 
stock options granted on April 1, 2005 was performed contemporaneously with the issuance of these common stock option grants.  

Under the prospective transition method, only new awards (or awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective 

date) are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company will continue to 
account for the outstanding 2005 Plan awards under APB 25, which falls under grandfathered material excluded from the first release 
of the FASB Codification, until they are settled or modified. See Note 11 for further description of our stock-based compensation 
programs.  

Recently Issued Accounting Standards  

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a standard that established the FASB Accounting 
Standards Codification™ (ASC) and amended the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such that the ASC 
became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The ASC did not change current U.S. GAAP, but was 
intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic 
in one place. All previously existing accounting standard documents were superseded and all other accounting literature not included 
in the ASC is considered non-authoritative. New accounting standards issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 are communicated by the 
FASB through Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). For Innophos, the ASC was effective July 1, 2009. This standard did not have 
an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. However, throughout the notes to the 
consolidated financial statements references that were previously made to various former authoritative U.S. GAAP pronouncements 
have been changed to coincide with the appropriate section of the ASC.  

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, with respect to non-financial 

assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2009. This pronouncement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair 
value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the 
Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.  

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC topic 860 Transfers and Servicing. Among other items, the provision 

removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and clarifies that the objective of paragraph ASC 860-10-40-4 is to 
determine whether a transferor and all of the entities included in the transferor’s financial statements being presented have surrendered 
control over transferred financial assets. This pronouncement is effective January 1, 2010. The implementation of this standard did not 
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.  

 45

 
  
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC topic 810 Consolidation. The provisions of ASC 810 provide guidance in 

determining whether an enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This determination identifies the 
primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities of a variable interest 
entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive 
benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. This pronouncement also requires ongoing 
reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for 
determining the primary beneficiary. New provisions of this pronouncement are effective January 1, 2010. The implementation of this 
standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.  

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue 

Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), which provides principles for allocation of 
consideration among its multiple-elements, allowing more flexibility in identifying and accounting for separate deliverables under an 
arrangement. The EITF introduces an estimated selling price method for valuing the elements of a bundled arrangement if vendor-
specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available, and significantly expands related disclosure 
requirements. This standard is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal 
years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Alternatively, adoption may be on a retrospective basis, and early application is permitted. 
The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of 
operations.  

2. Restricted Cash:  

Restricted cash consisted of escrow funds agreed to be deposited in connection with a dispute between the Company and a third 
party. The dispute was settled on February 24, 2010 and the funds were disbursed to the third party in accordance with the settlement 
terms.  

3. Inventories:

On August 27, 2010, Innophos Holdings, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc. and 
Innophos, Inc. (collectively, the “Companies”) entered into its Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders 
(collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides the Companies with a term loan of $100.0 million and a revolving line 
of credit from the Lenders of up to $125.0 million, including a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, all maturing on August 26, 
2015. Prepayments of term loan are required at the rate of 1% of original principal amount per quarter beginning on December 31, 
2010. Interest accruing on amounts borrowed under the term loan and revolving line is based on an applicable margin over LIBOR 
(London Interbank Offered Rate) or bank base rate, ranging from 225 to 300 basis points for LIBOR and 125 to 200 basis points for 
base rate loans, in each case with loan period and interest alternative as chosen by the Companies, which margin is adjusted quarterly 
depending on a total leverage ratio (as computed under the Credit Agreement) for the period in question. Commitment fees on the 
unused revolving line range from 25 to 50 basis points, depending on total leverage ratio (as computed under the Credit Agreement) 
for the period in question. The initial applicable margin for LIBOR based loans, base rate loans and the commitment fee were 250, 
150 and 37.5 basis points, respectively.

The Credit Agreement also provides for possible additional revolving indebtedness under an incremental facility of up to $50.0 

million (i.e. an aggregate of revolving capacity up to $175.0 million) upon future request by Innophos Holdings, Inc. 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, 
for interest rates than those in effect for the original revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement.  

The obligations of the Companies under the Credit Agreement are secured by first priority liens on substantially all the United 
States assets of the Companies, as well as a pledge of 65% of the voting equity of entities holding the Companies’ foreign subsidiaries.  

 The Credit Agreement contains representations given to the Lenders about the nature and status of the Companies’ business that serve 
as conditions to future borrowings, and affirmative, as well as negative, covenants typical of senior facilities of this kind that prohibit 
or limit a variety of actions by the Companies and their subsidiaries generally without the Lenders’ approval. These include covenants 
that affect the ability of those entities, among other things, to (a) incur or guarantee indebtedness, (b) create liens, (c) enter into 
mergers, recapitalizations or assets purchases or sales, (d) change names, (e) make certain changes to their business, (f) make 
restricted payments that include dividends, purchases and redemptions of equity (g) make advances, investments or loans, (h) effect 
sales and leasebacks or (i) enter into transactions with affiliates, (j) allow negative pledges or limitations on the repayment abilities of 
subsidiaries or (k) amend subordinated debt. However, subject to continued compliance with the overall leverage restrictions 
described in more detail below, the Companies retain flexibility under the Credit Agreement to develop their business and achieve 
strategic goals by, among other things, being permitted to take on additional debt, pay dividends (as long as the Total Leverage Ratio 
shall be .25 less than the then applicable level described below), re-acquire equity and make domestic acquisitions. Foreign 
acquisitions and investments are also permitted up to a fixed limit which is set initially at $100.0 million and can increase with 
ongoing cash generation up to as high as $250.0 million.  

Among its affirmative covenants, the Credit Agreement requires the Companies 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 the following:  

Through and including December 31, 2011 of 2.50 to 1.00, January 1, 2012 through and including December 31, 2012 of 2.25 to 

1.00 and January 1, 2013 and thereafter of 2.00 to 1.00.  

(b) “Senior Leverage Ratio” less than or equal to the following:  

Through and including December 31, 2011 of 2.00 to 1.00, January 1, 2012 through and including December 31, 2012 of 1.75 to 

1.00 and January 1, 2013 and thereafter 1.50 to 1.00.  

(c) “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00.  

As of December 31, 2010, the Total Leverage Ratio, Senior Leverage Ratio, and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio calculated in 

accordance with the agreement were 0.88, 0.88 and 3.03, respectively.  

The Credit Agreement provides for “Events of Default” that, unless waived, can or will lead to acceleration of obligations upon 

the occurrence, continuation and/or notice, as applicable, of specified events typical of senior facilities of this kind. These include 
(a) failures to pay interest or principal on loans, (b) misrepresentations, (c) failures to observe covenants, (d) cross defaults of other 
indebtedness in excess of $20.0 million, (e) uninsured and unsatisfied judgments in excess of $20.0 million or certain orders or 
injunctions, (f) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (g) events leading to aggregate liability under the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) in excess of $20.0 million, (h) changes of control, (i) invalidity of credit support /security agreements, 
and (i) certain disadvantageous changes in Credit Agreement debt compared to subordinated debt.  

Fees and expenses incurred with the execution of the Credit Agreement were approximately $2.8 million. This amount was 
recorded as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.  

As of December 31, 2010, $99.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and $50.0 million was outstanding under the 

revolving line of credit with total availability at $73.7 million, taking into account $1.3 million in face amount of letters of credit 
issued under the sub-facility.  

 49

 
Simultaneously with the execution of the above Credit Agreement, the Loan and Security Agreement (the “2009 Loan 

Agreement”) entered into in the second quarter of 2009 by Innophos, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Innophos Canada, Inc. (the 
“Borrowers”) was terminated. No borrowings were outstanding under the 2009 Loan Agreement when terminated and letters of credit 
aggregating $1.3 million were rolled over into the sub-facility provided under the Credit Agreement. In connection with the 
termination of the 2009 Loan Agreement, the Company charged to earnings accelerated deferred financing charges of approximately 
$0.7 million.  

In connection with the termination of a previous credit facility dated as of August 13, 2004 in the second quarter of 2009, the 
Company paid the $72.7 million of outstanding term loan balance (principal and accrued interest) from cash on hand. This payment 
resulted in an approximate $0.4 million charge to earnings for the acceleration of deferred financing charges. Prior to the termination 
of the loan, the Company made a $53.6 million excess cash flow payment in the first quarter of 2009 which resulted in an approximate 
$0.4 million charge to earnings for the acceleration of deferred financing charges.  

In the third quarter of 2010 the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an original notional amount of $100 million 

adjusting quarterly consistent with the Term Loan, with a fixed rate of 1.994% plus the applicable margin on the debt expiring in 
August 2015. The Company has the right to cancel the swap with no fee on September 28, 2012 and anytime thereafter. The fair value 
of this interest rate swap is an asset of approximately $0.4 million as of December 31, 2010.  

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.  

2004 Senior Subordinated Notes  

On September 27, 2010, the Company redeemed all of Innophos Inc.’s $190.0 million Senior Subordinated Notes using 

proceeds from the $100.0 million term loan and an initial drawing of $70.0 million under the revolving line plus on hand cash of $20.0 
million. The Company paid $197.6 million, including a call premium of approximately $5.6 million and interest of approximately $2.0 
million. In connection with the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company charged to earnings accelerated deferred 
financing charges of approximately $4.5 million.  

Senior Unsecured Notes  

The Innophos Holdings, Inc. 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012 accrued interest from the issue date at a rate of 9.5% per 
annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. On April 13, 2009 the Company purchased $10.0 
million of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012 for $6.5 million. The $3.5 million retirement gain is reflected in interest 
expense, net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2009. The Company also recorded accelerated 
deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.  

The Company redeemed for cash all remaining $56.0 million of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012 on April 15, 2010, 

the Redemption Date. The redemption price for the Notes was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the 
Redemption Date. Accelerated deferred financing charges of $0.6 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2010.  

Innophos and its subsidiaries and affiliates may from time to time seek to acquire or otherwise retire outstanding debt through 
privately negotiated transactions, exchanges or otherwise. Debt repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market 
conditions, Company liquidity requirements, restrictive financial covenants and other factors applicable at the time. The amounts 
involved may be material.  

We believe that the cash generated from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet 
our debt service, tax payments, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our current 
business plans support these operating needs, including our scheduled repayments of debt in accordance with the terms of those 
agreements. However, future operating performance is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and other factors 
that are uncertain. If the cash flows and other capital resources available to the Company are insufficient to fund our debt and other 
liquidity needs, the Company may have to take alternative actions that differ from the Company’s current operating plan.  

Total interest paid by the Company for all indebtedness for 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $29,709, $24,761 and $33,136.  

As of December 31, 2010, the Company was in full compliance with all debt covenant requirements.

11. Stockholders’ Equity / Stock-Based Compensation:  

Our compensation programs include share-based payments. The primary share-based awards and their general terms and 

conditions currently in effect are as follows:  

•  

• 

•  

• 

Restricted stock grants, which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of each vesting term, a specified number of shares of 
the Company’s common stock, and which also entitle the holder to receive dividends paid on such grants throughout the 
vesting period.  
Stock options, which entitle the holder to purchase, after the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of the 
Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share set equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on 
the date of grant.  
Performance share awards which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a number of shares of the 
Company’s common stock, within a range of shares from zero to a specified maximum (generally 200%), calculated using 
a multi-year future average return on performance parameters selected in advance as defined solely by reference to the 
Company’s own activities. Dividends will accrue over the vesting period and are paid on performance share awards when 
fully vested and distributed.  
Annual stock retainer grants, which entitle independent members of the Board of Directors to receive a number of shares 
of the Company’s common stock equal to a fixed retainer value.  

In 2005 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Innophos Holdings, Inc. 2005 Stock Option Plan, or 2005 Plan. The 

2005 Plan provided for grants of qualified and non-qualified stock options with a ten year term. All options vest ratably over an 
approximate five year term. The 2005 Plan, for all practical purposes, was discontinued with the adoption of the Innophos Holdings, 
Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan, or 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan was adopted as a successor to the Company’s 2005 Plan prior to the IPO in 
November 2006. The 2006 Plan allows for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock under its stock provisions. 
Subsequently, in June 2009 the stockholders approved the Company’s 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 2009 Plan), which 
effectively replaced the 2006 Plan.  

The Company will continue to account for the outstanding 2005 Plan awards under APB 25, which falls under grandfathered 

material excluded from the first release of the FASB Codification, until they are settled or modified. All of the awards granted under 
the 2009 Plan and the 2006 Plan are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 718. The compensation expense is amortized on a 
straight-line basis over the requisite service period, adjusted for forfeiture assumptions.

Restricted Stock  

In October 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors awarded 173,568 shares of restricted Common Stock with a fair value of 

$2.1 million to certain executive officers. These awards are classified as equity awards and vest over nine quarters in equal 
installments of 11.11% per quarter beginning January 1, 2007. Declared dividends will accrue on the restricted stock and will vest 
over the same period. The restricted stock is fully vested as of January 1, 2009 and has converted into an equivalent number of shares 
of common stock. The related compensation expense is based on the public offering price of $12 per share. The compensation expense 
is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognized approximately $0.9 million of 
compensation expense in 2008. As of December 31, 2009 all shares have vested.  

There were a total of 6,700 restricted shares granted in the first quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 with a fair value of 
$88. These awards are classified as equity awards and vest through no later than January 31, 2011. The related compensation expense 
is based on the date of grant share price of $8.24 and $27.55 for the 2009 and 2010 grants, respectively. The compensation expense is 
amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period.  

Stock Options  

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the historical stock option strips originally granted on April 1, 2005 

under the Innophos Holdings, Inc. 2005 Stock Option Plan, or 2005 Plan, were converted, as required under the terms of the 2005 
Plan, to 1,116,944 single class common stock options currently outstanding with the same vesting schedule. The exercise price is 
$2.55 per option. The determination of the fair value of the underlying common stock used to determine the exercise prices for the 
stock options granted on April 1, 2005 was performed contemporaneously with the issuance of these common stock option grants.  

On May 24, 2007 the two independent directors of the Company were granted a total of 4,424 stock options which were fully 

vested with an exercise price of $15.37 per share. These grants were reissued options under the 2005 Plan of previously forfeited 
options. These options are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 718. The compensation expense to these immediate vesting 
options was approximately $22. 

On October 22, 2007 the Company granted 287,200 non-qualified stock options at an exercise price of $15.20 per share to 

certain employees with a fair value of $1.0 million. The non-qualified stock options vest annually over three years with a ten-year 
term from date of grant.  

On December 19, 2007 the Company granted 2,000 non-qualified stock options to a certain employee at an exercise price of 

$14.47 per share with a fair value of $7. The non-qualified stock options vest annually over three years with a ten-year term from date 
of grant.  

On April 25, 2008 the Company granted 248,550 non-qualified stock options at an exercise price of $18.38 per share to certain

Prior to 2009, since Innophos Holdings, Inc. was a newly public entity and has limited historical data on the price of its publicly 

traded shares, the expected volatility for the valuation of its stock options and performance shares was based solely on peer group 
historical volatility data equaling the expected term. In 2009 and 2010, the Company had chosen a blended volatility which consists of 
50% historical volatility average of a peer group and 50% historical volatility of Innophos. The increase in the expected volatility in 
2009 and 2010 versus prior periods is a result of broader market conditions. The expected term for the stock options is based on the 
simplified method since the Company has limited data on the exercises of stock options. These stock options qualify as “plain vanilla” 
stock options in accordance with SAB 110. The dividend yield is the expected annual dividend payments divided by the average stock 
price up to the date of grant. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury securities in effect on the date of grant 
whose maturity period equals the options expected term. The Company applies an expected forfeiture rate to stock-based 
compensation expense. The estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily upon historical experience of employee turnover. As 
actual forfeitures become known, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.

12. 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 our 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. Retrospective application is required for periods prior to the effective date and as a result, all prior period earnings 
per share data presented herein have been adjusted to conform to these provisions. This resulted in a $0.02 reduction in previously 
reported basic EPS for the year ended December 31, 2008.  

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.

We are a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of our own. As a result, we are dependent upon cash 
dividends, distributions and other transfers from our subsidiaries, most directly Innophos, Inc., our primary operating subsidiary, and 
Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc., its parent, to make dividend payments on our Common Stock.  

14. Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits:  

Innophos maintains both noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans that together cover 

substantially all U.S. and Canadian employees.  

In the United States, salaried and hourly employees are covered by a defined contribution plan with a 401(k) feature. The plan 
provides for employee contributions, company matching contributions, and an age-weighted annual company contribution to eligible 
employees. Union-represented hourly employees, at our Nashville site, are covered by a traditional defined benefit plan providing 
benefits based on years of service and final average pay. On April 26, 2007, the Company and the Union for the hourly employees at 
our Nashville facility agreed that it would freeze its defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) as of August 1, 2007. The accrual of 
additional benefits or increase in the current level of benefits under the Plan ceased as of August 1, 2007, after which the Nashville 
union employees now participate in the Company’s existing non contributory defined contribution benefit plan. All plans were 
established by Innophos in 2004.  

In Canada, salaried employees are covered by defined contribution plans which provide for company contributions as a percent 
of pay, employee contributions, and company matching contributions. Union-represented hourly employees are covered by a defined 
benefit plan providing benefits based on a negotiated benefit level and years of service. The defined contribution plans were 
established by the Company in 2004; the defined benefit plan for union-represented hourly employees is a continuation of the Rhodia 
Canada Inc.’s pension plan for its Port Maitland union employees, which was included in the acquisition of the Phosphates Business 
from Rhodia on August 13, 2004.

Innophos also has other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its U.S. and Canadian employees. Certain 

employee groups covered under the plans do not receive benefits post-age 65. In the United States, the health care plans are 
contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted annually, and limits on the company’s share of the costs; the life insurance plans 
are noncontributory. The effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, or the Act, are not 
significant. In Canada, the plans are non-contributory.  

Innophos uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plans. For the purposes of the following schedules, beginning of 

the year is January 1.  

The weighted average discount rate at the measurement dates for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and the post-

retirement benefit plans is developed using a spot interest yield curve based upon a broad population of corporate bonds rated AA or 
higher, adjusted to match the duration of each plan’s projected benefit payment stream.  

The expected return is based on a specific asset mix, active management, rebalancing among diversified asset classes within the 

portfolio, and a consistent underlying inflation assumption to calculate the appropriate long-term expected investment return.  

As a sensitivity measure, the effect of a 25 basis-point decrease in our discount rate assumption would increase our net periodic 

benefit cost for our pension and post-retirement plans by approximately $61. A 1% decrease in our expected rate of return on plan 
assets would increase our pension plan expense by $151.  

The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), or AOCI, for all plans that are expected to be amortized as 

components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) during 2011 are as follows:

Innophos expects to contribute approximately $0.1 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan in 2011.  

There are no estimated net actuarial gain, prior service cost, or transition obligation (asset) for all defined benefit pension plans 

that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost during the 2011 fiscal year.  

The estimated actuarial gain, prior service cost, and transition obligation (asset) for the postretirement plan that will be 
amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost during the 2011 fiscal year are ($69), $198 
and $0, respectively.  

Assumed health care cost trend rates on the U.S. plans do not have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health 

care plans as a result of limits on the Company’s share of the cost.

The U.S. operations do not have any Federal tax loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2010. The Company realized tax 

benefits of $640 and $495 from stock options exercised in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  

The Company maintained a $5.9 million and $5.7 million valuation allowance at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, 

primarily related to certain State net operating loss carryforwards as it is more likely than not that these tax benefits will not be 
realized. The State net operating losses will expire in the years 2012 through 2030.  

As of December 31, 2010, taxes have not been provided on approximately $142.1 million of accumulated foreign unremitted 

earnings that are expected to remain invested indefinitely. Due to complexities in the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to 
be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income taxes that would have to be provided.  

The Company does not have any material uncertain income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10-25. If any material 
uncertain tax positions did arise, 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, by 
certain foreign jurisdictions for its income tax returns for the years 2004 through 2008. As of December 31, 2010, no significant 
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. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will 
significantly change prior to December 31, 2011.  

Income taxes paid were $33,618, $49,705 and $64,822 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  

 16. Commitments and Contingencies:  

Leases  

Under agreements expiring through 2020, the Company leases railcars and other equipment under various operating leases. 
Rental expense for 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $4,919, $5,140 and $5,213, respectively. Minimum annual rentals for all operating leases 
are:

Purchase Commitments and Supplier Concentration  

The Company has multiple raw material supply contracts one of which with an initial term through 2018 with an automatic five-
year renewal term at prices established annually based on a formula. The minimum annual purchase obligation for several of these raw 
material supply contracts, at current prices, approximates $106.1 million for 2011.  

Our business activities depend on long-term or renewable contracts to supply materials or products. In particular, we rely to a 

significant degree on single-source supply contracts and some of these contractual relationships may be with a relatively limited 
number of suppliers. Although most of our supplier relationships are typically the result of multiple contractual arrangements of 
varying terms, in any given year, one or more of these contracts may come up for renewal. In addition, from time to time, we enter 
into toll manufacturing agreements or other arrangements to produce minimum quantities of product for a certain duration. If we 
experience delays in delivering contracted production, we may be subject to contractual liabilities to the buyers to whom we have 
promised the products.  

Environmental  

The Company’s operations are subject to extensive and changing federal and state environmental laws 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 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.  

Under the agreements by which the Company acquired the Phosphates Business and related assets, the Company has certain 

rights of indemnification from the sellers for breach of representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements. The 
indemnification rights relating to undisclosed environmental matters are subject to certain substantial limitations and exclusions and 
expired as of August 13, 2009.  

Future environmental spending is probable at our site in Nashville, TN, the eastern portion of which had been used historically 
as a landfill, and a western parcel previously acquired from a third party, which reportedly had housed, but no longer does, a fertilizer 
and pesticide manufacturing facility. We have an estimated liability with a range of $0.9-$1.2 million. The remedial action plan 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 December 31, 2010.  

Litigation  

2008 RCRA Civil Enforcement – Geismar, Louisiana plant  

Following several inspections by EPA at our Geismar, LA purified phosphoric acid, or PPA, plant and related submissions we 

made to support claimed exemptions from the federal Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, in March 2008, EPA 
referred our case to the Department of Justice, or DOJ, for civil enforcement. Although no citations were ever issued or formal 
proceedings instituted, the agencies claim we violate RCRA by failing to manage two materials appropriately, which DOJ/EPA allege 
are hazardous wastes. Those materials are: (i) Filter Material from an enclosed intermediate filtration step to further process green 
phosphoric acid we receive as raw material via pipeline from the adjacent site operated by an affiliate of Potash Corporation of 
Saskatchewan, or PCS; and (ii) Raffinate, a co-product we provide to PCS under a long-term contract we have with PCS.  

Since referral of the case to DOJ, we and PCS have engaged in periodic discussions with DOJ/EPA and the Louisiana 
Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ), collectively the Government Parties, in order to resolve the matter. In addition to 
asserting that the two materials in question are not hazardous wastes, we have also sought to demonstrate that both the nature and 
character of the materials as well as their use, handling and disposition were detailed in a solid waste permit amendment application 
filed in 1989 by PCS’s predecessor, when our plant was first constructed, and approved by the Louisiana Department of 
Environmental Quality under the state RCRA program.  

In the course of discussions with the Government Parties, the DOJ/EPA has required that we undertake as an interim measure 
the construction of a new filter unit that would replace the existing closed system and allow the removal and separate handling of the 
Filter Material. We built that unit, which is ready for commissioning and operation once appropriate agreements are reached with the 
Government Parties.  

 67

 
We and PCS also have initiated joint efforts to explore possible technical solutions to remaining government concerns, including 

Raffinate treatment. To date, treatment techniques for Raffinate have not yet been fully evaluated from a technological or cost 
standpoint. The companies have proposed to DOJ/EPA a schedule for such evaluation, and although the government has not formally 
approved the schedule, the companies are continuing with it. Based upon work so far, there appears to be at least one technically 
viable approach, but costs of a full scale operation, as well as full evaluation of the ability to return the treated stream to PCS and other 
technologies, are not known at this time.  

Even though the companies have begun substantial technical work in an attempt to develop a feasible approach to address 
DOJ/EPA’s concerns, we cannot guarantee that our technical efforts will be successful, whether either party would be willing to 
implement solutions at what cost allocation or, depending on those factors and the Government Parties’ position, whether this matter 
will be settled with the Government Parties and/or between the companies, or will require litigation. Should litigation become 
necessary to defend our operations at Geismar as compliant with environmental laws and regulations or with PCS as to cost 
responsibility, no assurance can be given as to its outcome.  

Based upon advice of our environmental counsel, we have determined that the risk of an effort by the Government Parties to 
shut down our Geismar plant or PCS’s Geismar plant from which we obtain the green acid raw material is remote. In addition, we 
have concluded that the contingent liability arising from compliance costs for this matter as discussed above is neither remote nor 
probable, but is reasonably possible.  

Mexican CNA Water Tax Claims  

On October 6, 2010 the Mexican Supreme Court upheld claims by the Mexican Comision National del Agua, or CNA, for 
higher water duties payable by our Mexican subsidiary, Innophos Fosfatados S.A. de C.V, or Fosfatados, relating to water usage at our 
Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico plant. The claims are for the period 1999 through 2002 and total approximately $25.5 million (at 
current exchange rates), including basic charges of $7.4 million and $18.1 million for interest, inflation and penalties.  

As a result of favorably concluded litigation in New York state courts against Rhodia, S.A. and affiliates, or the New York 

Litigation, concerning their indemnification obligation for CNA claims as “taxes” under the agreement by which we purchased our 
business from those parties, Innophos is fully indemnified against the CNA, as well as any like claims pertaining to periods prior to 
the closing date of purchase, August 13, 2004, in the event those liabilities are incurred.  

Fosfatados believes payment of the CNA claims will become due as soon as revised resolutions relating to it are issued by the 

CNA and become effective. Representatives of Innophos and the Rhodia companies are coordinating efforts for timely payment of the 
CNA liabilities and indemnity for these claims.  

As a result of the latest court determination and indemnification obligation, Innophos recorded in cost of goods sold a charge of 
$25.5 million (including estimated inflation, interest and penalties) and a corresponding benefit for the Rhodia indemnity receivable of 
$20.2 million, and an income tax benefit of $5.3 million, resulting in no net charge to Innophos for the 1999-2002 CNA claims, most 
of which was recorded in the third quarter of 2010.  

Probable Post-2002 Claims. Now that the 1999-2002 CNA claims have been sustained, Innophos believes it is likely the CNA 

will seek to claim similar higher duties, fees and other charges for fresh water extraction and usage from 2006 on into the future 
(2003, 2004 and 2005 are believed to be beyond the statute of limitations), or the Post-2002 Fresh Water Claims.  

In late June 2010, Fosfatados received a CNA notice of audit and request for documents concerning fresh water usage for the 
period 2005-2009. Although not included in our court judgments in the New York Litigation against Rhodia, we believe Rhodia is 
required to indemnify us fully for post-closing “losses” caused by breaches of covenants set forth in the agreement, which could cover 
the remainder of the Post-2002 Fresh Water Claims exposure and additional resulting losses. Rhodia has contested indemnification 
responsibility for those breaches, but its motion for partial summary judgment to dismiss our claims was denied by the New York trial 
court in January 2009. It is now likely that the New York Litigation will proceed to trial and involve further motions to resolve 
remaining issues. Upon receipt of the June 2010 CNA notice, we renewed our claim for indemnification and defense support from 
Rhodia, which was declined. As a result, Fosfatados is defending the matter with its own choice of counsel.  

Based upon review of the Post-2002 Fresh Water Claims, the advice of counsel, and the facts and applicable law in the context 

of the recent Mexican Supreme Court decision, management concluded that liability for those claims had become probable. 
Accordingly, Innophos recorded in cost of goods sold a charge of $16.1 million (including estimated inflation, interest and penalties) 
and an income tax benefit of $3.3 million in 2010 resulting in a $12.8 million net charge to Innophos for post-2002 claims. The 
Company is accruing at the higher water rates, increasing our annual pre-tax expenses for water at Coatzacoalcos by approximately 
$1.0 to 2.0 million (at current exchange rates), depending on capacity utilization.

Other Legal Matters  

In March 2008, Sudamfos S.A., or Sudamfos, an Argentine phosphate producer, filed a request for arbitration before the ICC 

International Court of Arbitration, Paris, France, or ICC, of a commercial dispute with Mexicana. Sudamfos claimed Mexicana agreed 
to sell Sudamfos certain quantities of phosphoric acid for delivery in 2007 and 2008, and sought an order requiring Mexicana to sell 
approximately 12,500 metric tons during 2008 in accordance with the claimed agreement. Subsequently, Sudamfos withdrew the 
request for arbitration. In October 2008, Mexicana filed a lawsuit in Mexico against Sudamfos to collect approximately $1.2 million 
representing the contract price for prior deliveries of acid that Sudamfos had refused to pay. In October 2009, Sudamfos answered the 
suit and counterclaimed for $3.0 million based upon the agreement alleged in the arbitration request to sell additional acid, which 
agreement Mexicana denies. In June 2010, Mexico’s trial court ruled in favor of Mexicana’s claim and denied Sudamfos’ 
counterclaim. In July 2010, Sudamfos appealed that ruling. In October 2010, the appellate court ruled that Sudamfos should be 
allowed discovery of documents as to its claims, which ruling Mexicana is contesting. The timing of a decision on the discovery issue 
is not known. Management has determined that the outstanding receivable is fully collectible, and that the contingent liability from the 
Sudamfos counterclaim is remote, and therefore no accrual is required.  

In addition, we are party to legal proceedings and contractual disputes that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Except 

as to the matters specifically discussed, management does not believe that these matters represent probable liabilities. 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 our business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.  

17. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risks:  

The Company believes that its 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. The ten largest customers accounted for 31%, 40% and 
40%, respectively, of net sales for 2010, 2009 and 2008. During 2008 a single customer represented 11% of our sales, otherwise, no 
other customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales in the last 3 years.  

18. Valuation Allowances:  

Valuation allowances as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in the valuation allowances for the year ended

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 operating income, with sales on 
a ship-from basis.

Beginning with the second quarter of 2010, the Company realigned the reportable segments to better reflect the core businesses 

in which Innophos operates and how it is managed. The Company will report its core specialty phosphates business separately from 
granular triple super-phosphate, or GTSP, and other non-specialty phosphate products. The previous reported segments of the United 
States, Mexico and Canada changed to Specialty Phosphates US & Canada, Specialty Phosphates Mexico and GTSP & Other. 
Specialty Phosphates consists of the products lines Specialty Ingredients (formerly Specialty Salts and Specialty Acids), Food & 
Technical Grade PPA, and STPP & Detergent Grade PPA. GTSP & Other includes fertilizer co-product GTSP and other non-specialty 
phosphate products. The Company has restated all corresponding items of segment information for earlier periods.

ITEM  9A.  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) 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 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. The 
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, with the participation of management, concluded that the Company’s 
disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2010.  

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING  

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s 

internal control framework and processes are designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance 
with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  

As of December 31, 2010, management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting 

based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control 
— Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal 
control over financial reporting is 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.  

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company’s financial statements 

included in this report on Form 10-K and issued its report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2010, which is included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.  

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 fourth quarter of 2010 

that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 Basis of Presentation  

Innophos Holdings, Inc.(“Company”) is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through its 

subsidiaries.  

There are significant restrictions on the Company’s ability to obtain funds from any of its subsidiaries through dividends, loans 

or advances. Accordingly, the condensed financial statements have been presented on a “parent-only” basis. Under a parent-only 
presentation, the Company’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. These 
parent-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with Innophos Holdings, Inc. audited consolidated financial statements 
included elsewhere herein.  

Debt  

On April 13, 2009 the Company purchased $10.0 million of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 2012 for $6.5 million. 
The Company redeemed for cash all remaining $56.0 million of the 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 2012 on April 15, 2010.  

On April 16, 2007, Innophos Holdings, Inc. issued 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 2012 for the purpose of redeeming 

Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc. Floating Rate Senior Notes. Innophos Holdings, Inc. subsidiaries also have debt.  

For a discussion of the debt obligations of Innophos Holdings, Inc.’s subsidiaries, see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial 

Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.  

Dividends  

We are a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of our own. As a result, we are dependent upon cash 
dividends, distributions and other transfers from our subsidiaries, most directly Innophos, Inc., our primary operating subsidiary, and 
Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc., its parent, to make dividend payments on our Common Stock.  

Income Taxes  

The Company is a member of a U.S. consolidated income tax return. The Company generated net operating losses which can be 
used by Innophos, Inc. in the U.S. consolidated income tax return. Therefore, the benefit recorded for income taxes in 2009 and 2010 
is the result of net operating losses which are realizable by Innophos, Inc. The tax amounts established for the use of these losses are 
recorded through intercompany accounts which will cash settle.  

Commitments and Contingencies  

Innophos Holdings, Inc. has no direct commitments and contingencies, but its subsidiaries have direct commitments and 
contingencies. For a discussion of the commitments and contingencies of Innophos Holdings, Inc.’s subsidiaries, see Note 16 of Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.
