ADM Reports Third Quarter Earnings of $0.58 per Share,
$0.59 per Share on an Adjusted Basis
•Net earnings of $341 million
•Improving second half operating environment sets stage for a stronger 2017
CHICAGO, Nov. 1, 2016—Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE: ADM) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
“After working through the challenging environment in the first half of the year, we capitalized on improving operating conditions in the third quarter and are positioned well for a solid finish to the year,” said ADM Chairman and CEO Juan Luciano. “Ag Services results were driven by U.S. exports that surged through the quarter, creating improved merchandising opportunities as the global market relied heavily on U.S. exports of corn and soybeans. Results for Corn included strong performance in North American sweeteners and starches, growth from our international corn operations and steady results for bioproducts. Oilseeds results were impacted by significantly lower global soy crushing margins, weaker origination results in Brazil and the unusual equity loss from our Wilmar investment. WFSI results included strong growth from WILD Flavors with mixed results from our specialty ingredients businesses.
“We continued to execute our strategic plan in the quarter. We acquired Caterina Foods, a manufacturer of specialty gluten-free and high-protein pastas. In addition, we further invested in Asia’s growing and evolving food demand by increasing our strategic ownership stake in Wilmar to 23 percent. Our ethanol dry mill review has progressed and we are targeting receipt of final proposals from a short list of interested parties by the end of the calendar year. And, we have implemented nearly $250 million of new run-rate savings actions through the third quarter and expect to exceed our $275 million target by the end of the calendar year. In line with our balanced capital allocation framework, we have returned $1.3 billion to shareholders in dividends and share buybacks through the first nine months of the year.
“With improving market conditions and a large U.S. harvest, combined with the team’s solid execution capabilities, we feel good about the remainder of the year and a stronger 2017.”

| |

| |
• | The effective tax rate for the quarter was 28 percent compared to 31 percent in the year-ago quarter due to changes in the mix of earnings. |
| |
• | During the first nine months of 2016, the company returned $1.3 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. |
Results of Operations:
In Ag Services, merchandising and handling results were up due to increased volumes and improved margins as crop shortages in South America accelerated this year’s seasonal shift in global demand to North America. The global trade desk results were lower in the quarter as some commodity prices declined, causing global buyers to draw down their inventories, which limited merchandising opportunities.
Transportation results improved due to strong exports and improved freight rates.
Milling and Other continued to perform well with another solid quarter, consistent with the year-ago period, on strong product margins related to seasonal demand.
In Corn Processing, sweeteners and starches results improved as the North American business continued to perform well with solid demand, production efficiencies and improved raw material costs. The company’s results from its international corn operations improved in the quarter. Bioproducts results, excluding last year’s Brazilian sugar impairment charge, were essentially flat with improved operational performance and margins from Animal Nutrition, offset by slightly lower ethanol results compared to last year.
In Oilseeds Processing, crushing and origination results declined significantly versus a very strong year-ago quarter due to lower soy crush margins. In addition, origination volumes were lower due to reduced Brazilian soybean and corn crops.
Refining, packaging, biodiesel and other results were up from the year-ago quarter due to solid results in biodiesel, specialty fats and oils and better Golden Peanut and Tree Nuts margins.
Oilseeds results in Asia for the quarter declined from the year-ago period, primarily due to Wilmar’s unusual equity loss in the second quarter . ADM records its share of Wilmar’s results on a one-quarter lag basis and recorded a $48 million equity loss in the third quarter, compared to income of $36 million in the third quarter one year ago.
WFSI results were up slightly versus the year-ago quarter with strong operating profit growth in flavors and ingredient systems, and the integration of Eatem Foods, offset by mixed results from the specialty ingredients businesses and some start-up items.
Other financial operating profit was essentially flat on steady ADM Investor Services volumes and results from captive insurance operations.

Other Items of Note
As additional information to help clarify underlying business performance, the tables on page 9 include both reported EPS as well as adjusted EPS excluding significant timing effects.
Segment operating profit of $645 million as reported for the quarter includes charges of $2 million in Ag Services related to asset impairment and restructuring; charges of $2 million in Corn Processing primarily related to a $4 million final settlement of sales proceeds from the Brazilian sugar ethanol disposal, partially offset by hedge timing gains; and a $1 million restructuring charge in Oilseeds. Prior year Oilseeds results included earnings of $63 million related to the company’s cocoa business which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2015, including $31 million of hedge timing effects.
In addition, corporate results include $74 million in legal settlements and related fees, impairment charges and losses on sales of various equity investments.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was 28 percent compared to 31 percent in the year-ago quarter, due to changes in the geographic mix of earnings and the tax impact of portfolio actions.

Segment operating profit is ADM’s consolidated income from operations before income tax excluding corporate items. Adjusted segment operating profit is segment operating profit adjusted, where applicable, for specified items and timing effects (see items denoted*). Timing effects relate to hedge ineffectiveness and significant mark-to-market hedge timing effects. Management believes that segment operating profit and adjusted segment operating profit are useful measures of ADM’s performance because they provide investors information about ADM’s business unit performance excluding corporate overhead costs as well as specified items and significant timing effects. Segment operating profit and adjusted segment operating profit are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace earnings before income tax, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Segment operating profit and adjusted segment operating profit are not measures of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to income before income taxes or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EPS and adjusted EPS excluding timing effects reflect ADM’s fully diluted EPS after removal of the effect on EPS as reported of certain specified items and timing effects as more fully described above. Management believes that these are useful measures of ADM’s performance because they provide investors additional information about ADM’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace or be an alternative to EPS as reported, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or any other measures of operating results under GAAP. Earnings amounts described above have been divided by the company’s diluted shares outstanding for each respective quarter in order to arrive at an adjusted EPS amount for each specified item and timing effect.

Adjusted ROIC is Adjusted ROIC earnings divided by adjusted invested capital. Adjusted ROIC earnings is ADM’s net earnings adjusted for the after tax effects of interest expense, changes in the LIFO reserve and other specified items. Adjusted invested capital is the sum of ADM’s equity (excluding noncontrolling interests) and interest-bearing liabilities adjusted for the after tax effect of the LIFO reserve, and other specified items. Management believes Adjusted ROIC is a useful financial measure because it provides investors information about ADM’s returns excluding the impacts of LIFO inventory reserves and other specified items and increases period-to-period comparability of underlying business performance. Management uses Adjusted ROIC to measure ADM’s performance by comparing Adjusted ROIC to its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Adjusted ROIC, Adjusted ROIC earnings and Adjusted invested capital are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace or be alternatives to GAAP financial measures.
